Chapter 169 Ultraviolet Rays
Poof!
Wang Tao swung his ax and killed the last chasing zombie.
"Fortunately, not many zombies are chasing me..."
The noise of the explosion just now was too loud, so Wang deliberately threw a few self-explosion bombs to distract the zombies. In addition, the two of them ran fast, so there were not many zombies chasing them. Just a small group of zombies, easily dispatched.
But Wang Tao's face was a little serious.
The zombies that are catching up include crazy zombies. In the past, the blood of crazy zombies was 2,000, but now, the blood of crazy zombies has reached 4,000!
To him, the crazy zombie with 4,000 blood is naturally not a threat. But what if the crazy zombie’s health exceeds 5,000 and reaches the second level? With the number of crazy zombies, it would be very troublesome!
"Let's go."
Shaking his head, Wang Tao stopped thinking about it and arrived at the Yuwan Camp with Jiang Shixue.
Xu Xiaojun has already built a simple cabin and built some fences outside. Although it doesn't feel like it has much defense, at least it makes it invisible to zombies.
Zombies also have vision, especially some powerful zombies that can see very far. Some blocking is still necessary.
"Brother Wang!"
Xu Xiaojun finally felt relieved when he saw that Wang Tao and Wang Tao were fine.
The previous explosion scene scared him badly. He didn't know where Wang Tao got so many bombs, and he was afraid that Wang Tao and Wang Tao would be killed. Fortunately, Wang Tao and the others came back safely.
"It will get dark soon. Let's make do here at night and take turns keeping watch."
Wang Tao looked at the sky and said.
"good!"
"Eh? Did you bring that fish too?"
Wang Tao saw another big fish in the house, which seemed to be the one he had caught before.
Wang Tao had previously thought that he could lure out the bloody zombies, so he took this fish over for dinner. But who knew that the bloody zombies could not survive, so they could only use bombs. After frying, you have to run away, and the fish will just be wasted. But Wang Tao didn't expect that Xu Xiaojun was quite attentive when looking at the five big and three thick people...
"Hey, I was afraid of wasting it, so I brought it."
Xu Xiaojun scratched his head.
"Okay, let's be a fish to eat while it's still dark!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Although the Fish Bay Campground is in ruins, some pots and pans can still be found.
Wang Tao found a large pot, put the fish meat prepared by Xu Xiaojun into the pot, and then added the purified water in his space backpack.
Seeing a pot of water suddenly appear in Wang Tao's hand, Xu Xiaojun was stunned.
But he didn't ask too much. This was the end of the world, and it was reasonable to have powers similar to storage spaces.
Wang Tao didn't have a lighter on him, so he chipped some sawdust, took a stick and started drilling wood to make fire. With his super fast hand speed, the flames ignited in a moment.
This fish is very big, even though a lot of things have been disposed of, there is still a lot of fish meat left.
Wang Tao made part of the fish into fish soup and part of the fish into grilled fish.
If it's safe these two days, Wang Tao plans to catch a few more big fish and turn them into nutrient solution.
The grain left in the underground granary has been made into nutrient solution by Wang Tao. There are a lot of nutrient solutions in his space backpack, but they are all rice-flavored and relatively simple. He needs other flavors to spice things up...
Xu Xiaojun quickly built a simple barbecue grill, and Wang Tao asked him to grill the fish.
Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao eagerly.
"You can also help grill the fish."
Wang Tao immediately shrugged.
"Okay~"
Jiang Shixue's little face was full of happiness.
There is no seasoning on Wang Tao, only salt and chili. But that’s enough. This is the end of the world, so there’s no need to pay too much attention to it, as long as you can eat it.
After the sun went down, the fish was cooked and grilled.
Wang Tao quickly extinguished the flames to avoid attracting zombies - a large amount of flames will make the zombies retreat, but a small amount of flames may attract the attention of the zombies. So it's better to be cautious. After all, there are still two third-level zombies outside.
"smell good!"
Jiang Shixue took a big sip of fish soup and immediately praised it.
"Yeah, not bad."
Wang Tao also thought it tasted pretty good.
He saw Xu Xiaojun holding the bowl in a daze, and asked:
"Xiaojun, don't you want to eat?"
"Oh, eat..." Xu Xiaojun came to his senses and quickly took a sip of soup and a bite of fish. "It's delicious!"
"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more."
Wang Tao laughed. This is also a recognition of him as a chef.
"Um!"
Xu Xiaojun nodded heavily.
He ate it hungrily, and before he knew it, a tear fell into the bowl.
If he remembered correctly, besides Uncle Lu, Wang Tao was the first person to invite him to dinner since the end of the world...
After dinner, Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun and Jiang Shixue to rest while he kept vigil first.
All the defensive measures in the Yuwan camp were gone, and there was such a big explosion in the granary. Wang Tao had to be more cautious to prevent zombies from coming.
During the vigil, Wang Tao took a look at the gains from killing this third-level zombie today.
The fact that this third-level bloody zombie had no crystal core was a bit beyond Wang Tao's expectations.
It also has blue content. Theoretically speaking, if it has blue content, it has superpowers, and if it has superpowers, it has crystal nuclei.
But it may be a special situation. After all, Wang Tao did not see it using any special abilities. It relied solely on physical strength...
If there is no crystal core, there will be no crystal core. There are many other gains.
Wang Tao looked at his health bar.
His HP increased by 4500! Now it has reached [14450/14450]!
This HP limit has increased a lot, but this is a cross-level kill, which has tripled. Under normal circumstances, it should be 1500... But no matter what, this HP increase is very satisfying!
30,000 HP is the third level, and Wang Tao is not far from the third level now.
When he reached 10,000 HP, he did not trigger any sleep mechanism. He could feel that his strength was directly improved, and it was improved a lot. This is very good, and he doesn’t have to be as troublesome as before.
And since it is a cross-level kill, there must be special energy. Wang Tao’s special energy has also increased by 4500, and now it is 7740!
It takes 5000 special energy to fuse the second-level superpowers, and he can fuse it again! But which superpowers to fuse needs to be studied carefully...
Finally, there are packages. This bloody zombie exploded three packages.
And the first package contains a crystal core gift package.
This made Wang Tao speechless. It didn't explode the crystal core itself, but there was a crystal core inside the package... This was interesting.
There were 4 crystal cores in the package.
After seeing the specific properties of the first crystal core, Wang Tao's face lit up.
[Third-level crystal core·Promotion]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effects: None)]
This is a crystal core that is one circle larger than the second-level crystal core.
"It's actually a third-level promotion crystal core..."
Although he can't use it now, he must use it when he is promoted to the third level in the future. With this crystal core, he can save a lot of time.
And the purity of the third-order crystal core is the same as Wang Tao's guess, and it has been reduced by 5%, only 40%...
[Third-order crystal core·Energy enhancement]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effects: None)]
[Energy enhancement: Increase the upper limit of mana by 1000]
The second crystal core is an energy enhancement crystal core. Seeing the introduction of this crystal core, Wang Tao frowned.
This is a crystal core that directly increases the upper limit of mana.
1000 mana is a lot, equivalent to the mana added by 10 first-order crystal cores or 5 second-order crystal cores. But adding mana alone is useless, and it must be used in conjunction with other abilities.
This crystal core is good, but it is also useless - wait!
Wang Tao suddenly thought of a problem!
He can fuse his own abilities. If he fuses this ability with other abilities, then it doesn't seem to be useless?
And he also has the ability to extract. If he fuses this crystal core and obtains the upper limit of 1000 mana, and then uses the extraction ability to extract the crystal core, will his upper limit of 1000 mana still be there?
If the upper limit of mana is still there, then wouldn't it be equivalent to a bug?
Unfortunately, Wang Tao is not at the third level now, so he can't fuse. Otherwise, he would have to try it anyway!
"Keep the crystal core first, and try it once later to see if it works!"
[Third-level crystal core·Health increase]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effects: None)]
[Health increase: Increase the upper limit of 1000 health]
The third crystal core is a health increase crystal core, which can increase the upper limit of 1000 health.
It looks like it is similar to the energy increase crystal core, but the health is different from the mana, and the health has an upper limit.
If other abilities fail to be promoted, the health will be stuck. Then this health increase is meaningless... and killing zombies will also increase the health limit, which is definitely more cost-effective than fusing crystal cores. After all, Wang Tao killed a third-level zombie and added 4500 health, while this crystal core only added 1000 health.
This health increase crystal core is a bit useless...
Unless, this health increase can break the upper limit. For example, when it is stuck at 4999 health, it can be increased to 5999 health, then this crystal core is useful.
"I will have a chance to test it later to see what this health increase is all about."
[Third-level crystal core·Physique improvement]
[Quality: Epic (100%)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effects: None)]
[Physique improvement: Physical fitness is improved in all aspects]
The last crystal core is a physique improvement crystal core, which also surprised Wang Tao.
He personally feels that this crystal core is better than the health increase, and is on the same level as the energy increase crystal core.
However, like the energy increase crystal core, it may not be very effective if used alone. But if it is combined with other superpowers, it should be very good.
Of course, Wang Tao can fuse and extract superpowers. So Wang Tao also included this crystal core in the scope of the experiment. If there is a chance, he will synthesize or extract it. If the blood volume increase, energy increase and physical fitness increase can be integrated into one superpower, it will be awesome!
Wang Tao put away the crystal core and looked at the second package that the bloody zombie exploded. This package is full of potions.
[Strength Growth Potion*5]
[Agility Growth Potion*5]
[Spirit Growth Potion*5]
A total of 15 bottles of potions!
And it is not a potion that increases temporary status, but a potion that increases permanent attributes!
[Strength Growth Potion: After injection, strength will gain a certain degree of permanent increase]
[Agility Growth Potion: After injection, agility will gain a certain degree of permanent increase]
[Spirit Growth Potion: After injection, spirit will gain a certain degree of permanent increase]
The gorilla zombie that Wang Tao killed before exploded 5 strength-increasing potions. After he injected it, he felt that the effect was still very obvious.
So Wang Tao did not hesitate and directly injected these 15 potions into his body one by one.
"Hiss..."
After the potion was injected, Wang Tao felt refreshed. This improvement was obvious!
He felt that he was much stronger, his reaction was faster, and he was no longer sleepy!
However, it is hard to say how much strength has been improved. This will only be known after the experiment. It is obviously not appropriate now.
Then Wang Tao looked at the last package, which contained two things. They were [High-power UV flashlight*1] and [Small UV flares*20].
[High-power UV flashlight: It can emit ultraviolet rays, but due to its high power, it consumes high power and lasts for a relatively short time. It can be restored by batteries]
This is a small square flashlight that looks ordinary, only the size of a palm. It has nothing to do with high power. This flashlight uses batteries, but it is not an ordinary battery, but a material battery that Wang Tao exploded when he killed zombies.
Wang Tao took the flashlight and shone it into the darkness.
Swish——
A large ball of strong purple light instantly appeared on the ground in front of him.
"Wow! No wonder it's said to be high power, so bright!"
Wang Tao quickly turned off the flashlight, this thing must not attract zombies.
But Wang Tao was a little confused, why is it a UV flashlight? This kind of purple light looks uncomfortable, and it doesn't seem suitable for use at night...
But after seeing the second item, Wang Tao knew why it was ultraviolet.
[Small UV flare: After ignition, it can emit strong ultraviolet light within a certain range for 25 seconds. Ultraviolet light can block or burn some mutant zombies that are afraid of ultraviolet light]
"It turns out that these bloody zombies are not afraid of ordinary light, but ultraviolet light? No wonder I used a flashlight to shine on it before, it didn't react much, but when the sun shines on it, it turns into ash directly..."
Wang Tao then realized that the weakness of these bloody zombies is actually ultraviolet light, and it should be a large amount of ultraviolet light to be effective. Ordinary lights also have ultraviolet rays, but there are too few of them, so they may not work on it...
The appearance of the small ultraviolet flare is tubular, similar to a flare. It is relatively small and can be carried with you.
As for the specific effect of this flare, there is no way to try it for the time being. After all, he only has 20 of this thing, and he has to wait until the critical moment to use it.
And this trophy is quite interesting. After killing the bloody zombie, the corresponding weapons and equipment are dropped!
If you encounter the bloody zombie again, you may not have to be so troublesome!
After putting away these trophies, Wang Tao looked at the second-level crystal core in his hand again.
He has a lot of second-level crystal cores in his hand, but if you don’t count the promotion and omnipotent crystal cores, most of the crystal cores are basically not repeated.
Only the number of crystal cores of the weak poison mist is relatively large, with more than ten. The second is the powerful crystal core, with three.
Wang Tao feels that the weak poison mist ability is not suitable for him. So he doesn’t consider it.
He could synthesize an epic powerful crystal core without side effects and impurities, and Wang Tao also wanted this ability.
But the problem is that if he fuses the crystal core now, he has to consider whether it will be easy to fuse superpowers in the future.
Power is a passive ability, and his other three superpowers are all active abilities. Wang Tao thinks that the probability of combining power with the other three crystal cores is very low... Then it would be a bit inappropriate to fuse power now.
So after thinking about it, he still can't fuse the second-level crystal core for the time being. He has to save it again.
Unfortunately, these more than 9,000 special energies may not be used for the time being.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
When Wang Tao opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Shixue staring at him.
Fortunately, Wang Tao has become accustomed to Jiang Shixue's occasional strange actions, otherwise he would probably be scared.
"Good morning, Xiaoxue."
"Morning~"
Wang Tao came out and saw Xu Xiaojun patrolling nearby.
Wang Tao was on duty in the first half of the night yesterday, and Xu Xiaojun was on duty in the second half of the night. Jiang Shixue has been sleeping, but she is a light sleeper and will get up immediately if there is any movement.
"Xiaojun, are you sleepy? If you are, go take a nap."
Wang Tao asked with concern.
"Brother Wang, I am not sleepy."
Xu Xiaojun patted his chest and said.
"Okay."
Seeing Xu Xiaojun's energetic appearance, Wang Tao smiled and nodded.
There was still some fish left from yesterday, so they had a simple breakfast.
While eating, Wang Tao suddenly found that the three of them seemed to be able to eat a lot -
He didn't say that he had a big appetite, and after becoming a superpower, his appetite increased dramatically.
Xu Xiaojun was stronger than him, and his appetite was not low.
As for Jiang Shixue, she looked thin and small, but her stomach was like a bottomless pit. She had the largest appetite among the three! After all, she was now half human and half corpse, so this appetite was also reasonable.
"I need to prepare more food in the future!"
Wang Tao was a little emotional. Although he had a lot of nutrient solution, it was not a good idea to always eat nutrient solution.
Fortunately, Wang Tao had three magical stomach bags in his hand, which could hold a lot of food.
"Here is this."
Wang Tao handed a stomach bag to Xu Xiaojun.
"Is this... a water bag?"
Xu Xiaojun was a little confused.
"This is something that can store food."
Wang Tao demonstrated it to him briefly, and Xu Xiaojun was immediately surprised.
"Let's catch more fish today, and make food out of the fish and put it in the stomach sac..."
Each of the three people has a magical stomach sac, which can store a lot of food.
"Yes!"
Xu Xiaojun was very motivated.
Wang Tao and his three companions have been fishing here all day. In total, they caught more than a dozen fish that are larger than ordinary humans!
They worked until the sun went down, and finally processed all the fish.
Wang Tao plans to continue fishing tomorrow. It's rare to come to a good fishing spot, so he can't waste it.
As for tonight, Wang Tao plans to go out with Jiang Shixue.
He remembered that there are still two third-level bloody zombies here.
There are too many benefits to killing third-level zombies, and Wang Tao has an ultraviolet flashlight and flares in his hand, so he wants to try to kill another one!
Even if it doesn't work, at least he has to know where the nest of these two bloody zombies is. Maybe he can replicate yesterday's success!
