Chapter 171 Night Devil

Wang Tao returned to the Yuwan camp and said to Xu Xiaojun:

"Pack up and let's leave here!"

"Okay!"

Xu Xiaojun didn't ask any more questions and packed his luggage immediately.

In fact, there was not much luggage, mainly food. There were too many fish caught in the past few days, and the space in the magical stomach was limited and could not be accommodated at all. Wang Tao made some of the fish into nutrient solution, and the rest into dried fish, which can be carried with him.

There are conveniences for fewer people, but there are also advantages for more people.

When there were only Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue before, neither of them brought too many things.

But now with Xu Xiaojun joining, it's different immediately. He is full of things on his back, including food, clothes, tools...even pots and pans.

In this comparison, Xu Xiaojun is more like a survivor of the end of the world than Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue.

"Are you sure you can carry so much?"

Wang Tao opened his mouth.

"I'm fine! I can handle it!"

Xu Xiaojun patted his chest and said.

The main reason was that he didn't want to waste it. Some of the things in it were not that precious. They could definitely be found in the county town. But if they were urgently needed, there would definitely be no time to find them...

"Okay."

Wang Tao saw that Xu Xiaojun was really fine, so he didn't say much.

After all, Xu Xiaojun had the ability of great strength. Although these things looked a lot, they were not heavy for him.

After packing up, Wang Tao looked to the west and said:

"Let's go to Zijing City!"

Wang Tao is still in Huangfeng City, but it is far away from the urban area of ​​Huangfeng City, but closer to the urban area of ​​Zijing City next door.

And there is no need to go to the urban area of ​​Huangfeng City, because the large survivor base of Huangfeng City is in Hongshi County, and Hongshi County is at the easternmost part of Huangfeng City. Wei Zhenguo, Han Rui and others went to the Hongshi survivor base.

If Wang Tao goes to the Hongshi base, he either has to take a lot of detours or pass through Shuize County. There is a terrifying black fog monster near Shuize County. Wang Tao is not sure that he can beat him now, so forget it.

Wang Tao is now relatively close to Zijing City, and he plans to see where the large survivor base in Zijing City is.

When the virus broke out, the government said that every city in the country would have a large survivor base.

Wang Tao only knew that the large survivor base in Huangfeng City was in Hongshi County, and he didn't know about other cities. But the survivors in Zijing City must know that Wang Tao is relatively close to the urban area of ​​Zijing City now, and there should be survivors there, so he can go and ask about it.

Before leaving Jinbi County, Wang Tao planned to find a car. But all the cars outside were corroded by acid rain, and there was not a single usable car. He drove some underground garages, and the cars inside were also unusable.

Xu Xiaojun told Wang Tao that there had been a heavy rain here before, which caused floods and many places were flooded, and the cars in the basements were naturally not spared.

Wang Tao was somewhat disappointed. If there was a car to travel, even a gasoline car, it would be much more convenient.

"Forget it, let's go."

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue had walked all the way here before. If there was no car, then there was no car. Just treat it as exercise.

The three of them left Jinbi County and headed towards Zijing City along the national highway.

There were many abandoned vehicles and zombies on the national highway, and there was a desolate and dead atmosphere everywhere.

At the beginning, Xu Xiaojun was very nervous. After all, he had never been far away from home since the end of the world. He only knew that it was dangerous outside, but he didn't know the specific situation outside.

But after walking with Wang Tao for a while, he relaxed a little. There was no way, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were too strong!

He dealt with ordinary zombies. If he encountered some tricky zombies, Wang Tao would easily beat them half crippled, and then let him finish them off.

Unconsciously, Xu Xiaojun added another 1,000 HP.

"Brother Wang, I can't control it anymore. I want to sleep..."

Xu Xiaojun spoke to Wang Tao while forcing himself to sleep.

"Huh? 4000 HP! Okay, go to sleep."

Wang Tao didn't notice it just now, and after giving Xu Xiaojun a few heads, Xu Xiaojun had 4000 HP.

The sun was about to set at this time, just in time for a night's rest.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue could travel at night, but Xu Xiaojun obviously couldn't, so he had to rest well at night.

There were many empty houses on the roadside, and Wang Tao carried Xu Xiaojun in.

After letting Xu Xiaojun sleep, Wang Tao took out the food and had a simple meal with Jiang Shixue, and then asked Jiang Shixue to be alert, while he counted the spoils obtained in the zombie nest.

Although he didn't kill any zombies, he killed a lot of semi-finished zombies and the flesh and blood of these zombies, so he got a total of 23 loot packages!

Of them, 19 were exploded by semi-finished zombies, and 4 were exploded by hatched flesh and blood.

The things exploded by semi-finished zombies are the same, all of which are second-level omnipotent crystal cores!

There are not many second-level zombies at present, so there are naturally few second-level crystal cores, and even fewer second-level all-powerful crystal cores.

Wang Tao was so happy that he got 19 all-powerful crystal cores at once.

He originally had 3 synthesized epic all-powerful crystal cores and 1 excellent all-powerful crystal core.

Including this excellent crystal core, there were exactly 20 unsynthesized ones. Wang Tao started synthesizing immediately.

Soon, 10 all-powerful crystal cores were synthesized. Most of them were epic, and two were excellent. Counting the previous 3, he had a total of 13 all-powerful crystal cores!

The impurity of the second-level crystal core is 55%. If two crystal cores are used to synthesize, the impurity will be 10%.

So the impurity of these 13 crystal cores is 10%, which is 0.1% if converted with the impurities in his body!

And Wang Tao now has 1.1% impurities in his body... So Wang Tao thinks that he can fuse 9 almighty crystal cores first. Reduce the impurities in the body to 2%, and then use two bottles of cleaning potions to remove all the impurities in the body!

Wang Tao has been enduring this impurity in his body for a long time.

When the impurities appeared in his body, he felt a little uncomfortable. Although it did not affect his battle, it was still a little nauseating.

But there was no other way at the time. He had to fuse the promotion crystal core, and then the impurities in his body accumulated to 2.2%...

Fortunately, when he was promoted to the second level, the impurities in his body were reduced by half, and now only 1.1% is left.

Wang Tao considered that he only had 5 bottles of cleaning potion, each bottle of potion fixedly cleaned 1% of the impurities in the body. This 1.1% of impurities, one bottle is not enough, two bottles are a waste...

So he has been dragging it on until now.

Now he finally has the chance to clean them all.

"But... I don't know which ability these omnipotent crystal cores will upgrade..."

Wang Tao looked at his three current abilities.

[Second-level Shock Wave], [Second-level Precision Shooting], [Second-level Barrier].

If possible, Wang Tao naturally hopes that the omnipotent crystal core will upgrade the barrier.

Because the barrier is a new ability he synthesized from the two abilities "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" and "Self-Healing".

Zombies don't seem to be able to explode the barrier ability...If Wang Tao wants to upgrade, he can only rely on the omnipotent crystal core.

But the fusion of the omnipotent crystal core is a random upgrade on the existing abilities. He can't control which ability is upgraded.

Unless Wang Tao first upgrades the shock wave and precision shooting to +10, the full level of the second level. In this case, the almighty crystal core can only upgrade the barrier.

Unfortunately, Wang Tao only has one second-level shock wave crystal core in his hand, and he doesn't have any second-level precision shooting crystal core... So he can't upgrade these two abilities first.

Wang Tao subconsciously took another look at his special energy.

These special energies can only extract and fuse abilities, and cannot determine the order of upgrading the almighty crystal core--

Wait!

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked at the introduction of special energy.

[Current special energy: 7740]

[Extracting abilities: Turn the learned abilities into crystal cores of the current level. Extracting first-level abilities consumes 1000 special energy; extracting second-level abilities consumes 5000 special energy; extracting third-level abilities consumes 30000 special energy]

[Fusion abilities: Fusion of two learned abilities of the same level. If the fusion is successful, the ability has two characteristics, and the ability level is the average of the two. If the fusion fails, the main ability exists and the secondary ability disappears. Fusion of first-order superpowers consumes 1,000 special energy; fusion of second-order superpowers consumes 5,000 special energy, and fusion of third-order superpowers consumes 30,000 special energy]

Wang Tao had used fusion superpowers before, and this time he focused on extracting this ability.

"Converting the superpowers I have learned into crystal cores of the current level... Doesn't that mean that I can temporarily turn my shock wave and precision shooting superpowers into crystal cores, leaving me with only one barrier superpower, and then I can use the almighty crystal core to directly act on the barrier superpower to upgrade the barrier superpower?"

Wang Tao's eyes lit up.

He seemed to have discovered something incredible!

But his current special energy is not enough, so he can't extract both shock wave and precision shooting, and can only extract one for the time being.

But if only one ability is extracted, it will only increase the probability of upgrading the barrier ability from one-third to one-half, and Wang Tao is still not satisfied with this probability...

Speaking of extraction, Wang Tao thought of another key point-

"Since the learned ability can be turned into a crystal core of the 'current level', can I learn a first-level ability, and then use the promotion crystal core to upgrade to the second level, and then extract this second-level crystal core... Then I will have a 100% pure second-level epic crystal core?"

Wang Tao was shocked by his sudden whim, but he thought about it carefully, it seems feasible?

Under normal circumstances, if he wants a 100% pure second-level epic crystal core, he has to use 3 second-level crystal cores to synthesize it. But this is too wasteful.

If he uses his method, the cost of getting a 100% pure second-order crystal core is "10 first-order crystal cores" plus "1 promotion crystal core" plus "5000 special energy" - because special energy is needed to extract this second-order crystal core.

In this way, even if 5000 special energy is consumed, it is worth it overall, because in addition to the promotion crystal core, no other second-order crystal cores are needed!

Wang Tao originally planned to fuse 9 almighty crystal cores first, and then use two bottles of cleaning potions to remove impurities in the body. But now Wang Tao has changed his mind.

Now fusing the almighty crystal core is likely to add the supernatural power level to the shock wave and precision shooting.

It is better to save up a little more, and after accumulating 10,000 special energy, extract the shock wave and precision shooting, and then use the almighty crystal core to upgrade the barrier.

After the barrier reaches +10, start to fuse the first-order crystal core shock wave and precision shooting crystal core to upgrade the first-order crystal core to the second order, and then extract the second-order supernatural power.

Finally, if he can collect 10 second-order shockwave and 10 precision shooting crystal cores, he can get all three of his abilities +10!

This has another biggest advantage, that is, first-order crystal cores are much more common than second-order crystal cores!

Wang Tao now only has 1 second-order shockwave crystal core. If he wants to collect 30 second-order shockwaves and 30 second-order precision shooting, it will be too difficult-not because of insufficient strength, but because he can't encounter second-order terrorists and second-order police zombies.

But if it is 100 first-order shockwave crystal cores, 100 second-order precision shooting crystal cores and 20 second-order promotion crystal cores, it will be much simpler. There are still many first-order elite zombies. Wang Tao still has a lot of first-order all-powerful crystal cores, which can also be used.

And these two methods can be carried out at the same time!

If there are enough second-order crystal cores, synthesize second-order epic crystal cores.

If there are enough first-order crystal cores, use promotion crystal cores to upgrade to second-order!

The efficiency added up is 1+1 greater than 2!

Wang Tao had a hunch that his promotion from level 2 to level 3 might be faster than his promotion from level 1 to level 2!

"Hold on for a bit!"

Wang Tao put away the almighty crystal core, and then looked at the things that exploded from the hatched flesh and blood. There were four packages in total, each containing a stripped crystal core.

Counting these four crystal cores, Wang Tao had five stripped crystal cores.

In fact, Wang Tao could also use the stripped crystal core himself, which was equivalent to saving 5,000 special energy.

But this stripped crystal core has impurities after all.

If you choose to save 5,000 special energy, the price is to use more cleaning agents to remove impurities in the body.

Wang Tao currently has only 5 bottles of cleaning agents, and he has to use them sparingly. After all, special energy can be obtained by killing zombies above their level, no matter what zombie it is. But he doesn't know what zombie will explode the cleaning agent now...

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Tao and the other two continued on their way, heading towards Zijing City.

Today, we were lucky. We encountered many first-level elite zombies on the road, and even a second-level elite zombie, which were easily solved by several people.

Wang Tao felt that if we followed this efficiency, then when they arrived at Zijing City, Wang Tao would definitely have no problem accumulating hundreds of crystal cores.

At night, we still rested in a house on the roadside. Along the way, except for Wang Tao and his three people, no other survivors were seen. The house was naturally random.

However, Wang Tao found that most of these houses had been looted, so there should be survivors. I wonder if there are any survivor camps nearby.

"I can do it again~"

Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao eagerly. She felt that she could continue to cultivate.

"Then come on!"

Wang Tao took out the zombie culture solution and filled Jiang Shixue with the culture solution with ease. An hour later, Jiang Shixue's blood volume increased by 1000 and reached [22200/22200].

Wang Tao was a little envious of Jiang Shixue's physique. Increasing blood volume was simple.

Of course, Jiang Shixue can also increase her health by killing zombies, but Wang Tao also needs health now, so he can only focus on his own finishing blows.

And Wang Tao still has 800 zombie culture fluids in his hand, which is just enough to add 8,000 health points, which can increase Jiang Shixue's health points to 30,000. So she doesn't need to add blood by killing zombies.

The next day, continue to rush.

I don't know if it's because Wang Tao complained about the small number of first-level elite zombies before, but today he encountered many first-level elite zombies again. This made Xu Xiaojun's health points finally reach 4999!

Xu Xiaojun has already integrated all the crystal cores that Wang Tao prepared for him before. He now has "first-level shock wave +10", "first-level charge +10", "first-level copper skin and iron bones +10" and "first-level strength +10".

Wang Tao directly gave him four second-level promotion crystal cores. These promotion crystal cores have not been synthesized and have impurities. After all, Wang Tao doesn't have many promotion crystal cores. But they were all red and orange in quality. After Xu Xiaojun merged them, they all succeeded.

After the fusion was successful, Xu Xiaojun's situation was similar to Wang Tao's before. He could feel that he needed to sleep for 24 hours within three days.

Wang Tao asked him to sleep directly.

Since Xu Xiaojun was going to upgrade to the second level, he was not in a hurry to leave. After all, Xu Xiaojun after the second level was a teammate who could help Wang Tao. Now Xu Xiaojun, who was at the first level, was just a bag carrier.

And the next morning after Xu Xiaojun went to sleep, another plane flew over in the sky!

"Is it a military transport plane? This time... there should be an airdrop, right?"

Wang Tao stared at the military transport plane in the sky, his tone a little uncertain.

The main reason was that his current place was relatively remote, and the plane might not necessarily drop the airdrop here.

But after a while, Wang Tao saw small black dots falling out of the plane's butt. He grinned immediately.

"I said, I've been lucky lately!"

Especially when Wang Tao saw that there was an airdrop not far from him, he immediately told Jiang Shixue:

"Xiaoxue, you look after Xu Xiaojun here, I'm going to get an airdrop, I'll be back soon."

"Okay~"

Jiang Shixue nodded.

Wang Tao looked at the direction of the airdrop and it took him about ten minutes to run to the bottom of the airdrop.

Dong——

The airdrop box fell directly in front of Wang Tao.

Wang Tao had already observed in advance that there was no danger around, so he opened the airdrop without worry. This airdrop was the safest one for him to get an airdrop.

The airdrop box is full of inhibitors, a total of 100 bottles!

Wang Tao gave all the inhibitors in his hand to Han Rui and Ding Yuqin. He brought a few bottles with him, but lost them when he was escaping. So Wang Tao doesn't have a bottle of inhibitor now.

These inhibitors came just in time.

"There is also a monster encyclopedia... I'll look at it when I go back."

Wang Tao took the things and successfully returned to Jiang Shixue.

Then he opened the monster encyclopedia and saw a familiar zombie at first glance.

"Night Demon... Zombies that only appear at night, at least level three or above, are extremely powerful. They have a certain degree of wisdom, know how to cooperate, and even remember grudges. If you encounter a Night Demon, run away if you can. And there is no crystal core when you kill them, so even if you are strong, don't provoke them. But the Night Demon has a fatal weakness, that is, it is afraid of ultraviolet rays..."

Looking at this introduction, Wang Tao nodded.

"The official named those bloody zombies Night Demon, corresponding to the Crazy Zombie, it is very appropriate... because it has no crystal core like the Crazy Zombie, and killing it does not have much benefit..."
