Chapter 174 Betting

"How about we come together?"

As soon as Yang Changhong said these words, her subordinates who were still a little unhappy were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions suddenly changed - into looks of expectation!

If Wang Tao and the other three were outsiders, they would definitely be unhappy. After all, Wang Tao beat up their people and took their boss's things.

But if Wang Tao and the three of them are teammates, it will be different - these are second-level superpowers!

"Oh, by the way?"

Wang Tao glanced at Yang Changhong and the group of survivors and felt that they didn't seem to be lying to him, but seemed to be on their way.

"Yes, we are also going to Bauhinia City. We are all survivors struggling to survive in the apocalypse. There is strength in numbers. Since we are on the way, why not go together!"

Yang Changhong spoke very enthusiastically.

"I'm ready to leave now..."

Now that he has a car, Wang Tao wants to get to Zijing City as soon as possible. After all, there are many mysterious monsters in the wild, and the longer he stays, the more danger he will face.

Yang Changhong immediately said:

"It just so happens that we are too!"

Wang Tao was a little confused.

"Don't you pack your things?"

Yang Changhong pointed to his motorcade and said:

"We don't have a camp, the car is our camp. We are considered 'apocalyptic herdsmen'..."

Hearing this, Wang Tao was a little stunned.

No wonder they had so much supplies in their car. Wang Tao thought that this was what they came out to search for today. He also thought that Yang Changhong was so lucky to find so much food in one morning - it turned out that they did not have a fixed residence. They are constantly moving in the apocalypse, like nomads.

Not to mention, this does have many benefits. For example, they don't have to worry about the base being besieged by a large number of zombies, they don't have to consider the development of the base, they won't be restricted by geographical location, etc.

Of course, this "nomadic" form also has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, the team cannot grow too much.

After all, if there are too many people, many people will definitely want to settle down, and it will be inconvenient to move around if there are too many people.

"What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

Yang Changhong looked at Wang Tao with burning eyes.

If a second-level superpower can join, even temporarily, the safety factor of their team will be at least doubled!

As for the character of Wang Tao and the other three, it's hard to say, but Yang Changhong firmly believes that only relationships maintained by interests are the strongest. She thinks that she and Wang Tao are in a state of needing each other more now. In such a situation, no one will be stupid.

So whether it was for herself or for her subordinates, she had to try her best to invite Wang Tao.

"OK."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao nodded.

As Yang Changhong said, it is true that there is strength in numbers. These people may not be strong, but they have good eyes. If there is any danger, they can at least serve as a human alarm for him.

Moreover, Wang Tao also wanted to know about the situation in other places. Seeing that Yang Changhong and the others had obviously traveled to many places, Wang Tao might be able to inquire from her.

"Welcome Mr. Wang to join our team! I believe you will not be disappointed!"

Yang Changhong laughed and shook hands with Wang Tao again, then looked at Xu Xiaojun and Jiang Shixue and asked:

"I don't know what to call these two?"

"Xu Xiaojun."

Xu Xiaojun scratched his head and said.

The two groups who were originally at war with each other suddenly became teammates, and Xu Xiaojun was still a little uncomfortable with it.

"Hello Mr. Xu.

Yang Changhong was still very polite.

Jiang Shixue said nothing, but looked at Wang Tao.

"Her name is Jiang Shixue, she is my sister. She is quite timid and doesn't like to talk."

Wang Tao spoke.

"Jiang Shixue...a very nice name, as beautiful as the name!"

Yang Changhong thought of his sister, his eyes a little nostalgic.

But she quickly came to her senses and said to the others:

"Everyone get in the car and set off towards Bauhinia City! Oh, by the way -"

Yang Changhong looked at Wang Tao again.

"You have a radio in your car. If you have any questions, you can contact us directly. Do you have your own radio? That's fine. Let's check it out..."

Soon, eight vehicles left the town one after another and continued heading west along the national highway.

In the largest off-road vehicle, Xu Xiaojun was driving, while Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were sitting in the back seat.

The three of them didn't have much stuff, and there was a lot of space in the car, so Wang Tao put down the backrests of the back seats and lay down for a while. Jiang Shixue was more attached to Wang Tao, so she lay down with Wang Tao.

Xu Xiaojun naturally became the driver, but he was very happy because this was the most luxurious car he had ever driven. It was said that this car cost millions!

At this time, the intercom in the car suddenly rang.

"Mr. Wang, are you there? I'm Yang Changhong."

"What's wrong?"

Wang Tao said while lying down.

"Mr. Wang, do you know what energy is needed to use this nucleation synthesizer?"

There was no emotion or anger in Yang Changhong's tone.

"I know, it takes a lot of electricity to drive the nucleation synthesizer."

Wang Tao spoke directly.

"..."

Then he seemed to hear the sound of deep breathing.

On the other side, in a more luxurious off-road vehicle, Yang Changhong's towering chest rose and fell violently.

What a constantly moving team like them lacks most is energy, especially electricity. He only has a gasoline generator and a few solar panels, and the electricity he gets is stored in a few batteries. But this little electricity can’t drive the crystal nucleus synthesizer at all!

She paid a great price to get this synthesizer, but it didn't work... Yang Changhong was almost angry enough to vomit blood.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said:

"Since Mr. Wang knew, why didn't you remind me!"

Yang Changhong's tone was a little resentful.

"Didn't I give you the manual? These are all in the manual, on page 9, didn't you see it?"

Wang Tao asked back.

He really didn't mean it, he thought Yang Changhong saw it, and he was still thinking at the time, how did Yang Changhong solve the energy problem, but she didn't see it?

"...Okay! Then I'll study it carefully."

Yang Changhong didn't regret it, after all, this was indeed a good thing, and she also got 10 bottles of inhibitors. But the energy limit was too large, she had to think of a way to solve it.

Yang Changhong was about to cut off the communication, but Wang Tao had something to ask Yang Changhong, so he asked again:

"I haven't traveled far since the end of the world. Can you tell me what you have seen?"

"Sure..."

Yang Changhong didn't hide anything and roughly told her about what she had seen along the way.

After listening to her words, Wang Tao sighed.

As he expected, the situation in other places was also very bad.

Although it has been more than four months since the end of the world, the survivors are still in a difficult stage of survival. It is already very impressive to be able to form a small survivor camp.

She has seen several large survivor bases, one of which was organized by the government before. But these bases have been cold one after another.

From her words, it can be heard that she brought so many people to be a herdsman in the end of the world, not because she likes it, but because she has no choice.

This time her target is the large survivor base in Zijing City. If Zijing City has this base and it is not bad, then she may end her wandering career.

As for zombies, she naturally encountered a lot of them, some of which Wang Tao has never seen.

But she had never seen the mysterious monster, nor had she seen the monster illustrations in the airdrop, so she didn't know there was such a big danger in the wild.

"Monster illustrations? What is that?"

Hearing this, Yang Changhong suddenly asked.

"It's the information in the airdrop. Haven't you seen the airdrop?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

"No... Stop your car, I'll find you!"

Yang Changhong decisively stopped the convoy, then she got out of the car and got into Wang Tao's car.

Many survivors saw this scene and felt a pain in their hearts.

"It's over, the boss can't really like that person... My heart hurts!"

Yang Changhong naturally didn't know the dirty thoughts of his subordinates. After getting in the car, he hurriedly asked:

"What is the monster illustration? Can you show it to me?"

"No problem."

Wang Tao took out the illustration and handed it to Yang Changhong.

It is said that men who are serious are the most charming, and in fact, women are the same.

Although the long-term wandering life in the end times has made Yang Changhong's skin rougher. But her facial features are very beautiful, with an oval face, a high nose bridge, big eyes, a small mouth... The overall proportions are also very harmonious, and she is considered a beauty in the standard sense.

Especially when she was looking at the illustration carefully, the way her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled was very charming...

Wang Tao quickly moved his eyes away.

"Damn, I haven't replenished blood with my sister-in-law for a long time, I miss it a little..."

He shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

As the saying goes, if you serve in the army for three years, a sow will be as beautiful as Diao Chan. Not to mention that Yang Changhong is not a sow, but a standard beauty. It is normal for him to have some normal men's thoughts in his heart.

Of course, Wang Tao is not without women around him. Jiang Shixue is enough to kill countless women in seconds, and she also listens to Wang Tao.

It is impossible to say that Wang Tao has no thoughts about Jiang Shixue in his heart. It has been a few months since the end of the world, and no one will demand themselves according to the moral standards of peacetime. Moreover, Jiang Shixue is 19 years old and he is 26 years old. This is a very normal thing even in peacetime.

But Jiang Shixue is different from others. She is half human and half corpse, and her body is similar to that of a zombie. Wang Tao dared not do anything excessive, otherwise if he was infected, he would have no place to cry...

While thinking about it, Wang Tao suddenly felt someone staring at him.

He turned his head and saw Jiang Shixue's clear big eyes.

"Ahem..."

Wang Tao was a little uncomfortable, and he rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair in a disguised way. Jiang Shixue's hairstyle today was a double ponytail, which was naturally made by Wang Tao. The main reason was that Wang Tao could not make other hairstyles, and ponytails were relatively simple. Jiang Shixue had either double ponytails or a single ponytail every day...

Feeling the big hand on her head, Jiang Shixue narrowed her eyes slightly, and rubbed her head against Wang Tao's palm like a kitten.

At this time, Yang Changhong suddenly exclaimed, attracting Wang Tao's attention.

"Ah? It turns out that these night demons are afraid of ultraviolet rays! Damn it!"

Perhaps feeling that he had lost his composure, Yang Changhong explained to Wang Tao again.

"The night before yesterday, we encountered a night demon. I was sleeping at the time. Others didn't know what level of zombie it was and thought it was a second-level zombie... As a result, three of us died! If we hadn't had a car, we would have all died..."

Wang Tao shrugged. With the strength of this group of people, encountering a night demon was really no different from delivering food.

Yang Changhong sighed and continued to read.

"Monsters in the wild...hiss!"

Seeing this, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have good luck? She had never encountered such a monster before. Before today, she thought that the night was safe. She even thought that if she really couldn't find a suitable base, she would collect more supplies in the future and build a camp in a deserted place in the wild to be self-sufficient.

But now it seems that this is no different from seeking death...

After reading the monster illustration, Yang Changhong thanked Wang Tao very solemnly:

"Thank you! If I hadn't seen this illustration, I wouldn't know that it's so dangerous outside!"

"You're welcome." Wang Tao waved his hand, and then asked curiously, "Didn't you pick up the airdrop?"

"No, we saw the plane, but the plane's airdrop this time is different from before. It used to be fixed in a certain city, but now it feels more random, and I don't know where to drop it. Some of them have been dropped in the deep mountains and forests, and there is no way to find it..."

Yang Changhong's face was a little helpless. She saw an airdrop this time, but they came from another way and didn't see the specific location of the airdrop at the first time. Later, one of her subordinates found her and was waiting for her to come over, but Wang Tao got there first... It was like they worked in vain.

"The airdrop landing point is quite random..."

Wang Tao frowned.

When we were in Shuize County before, every airdrop landed in the city, not like what Yang Changhong said.

There was no need for the pilot to deliberately increase the difficulty of obtaining the airdrop, right? And don't they know that there are monsters in the wild?

Wang Tao was a little puzzled, but he didn't understand this aspect, so he could only shake his head.

If there is another airdrop in the future, let's observe it again.

...

At noon.

The convoy stopped.

Because someone saw several elite zombies gathered together.

Elite zombies have crystal cores, and no one wants to miss them as long as they encounter them.

But now there are second-level elite zombies, and not everyone can tell the difference between first-level and second-level zombies. So now when they see elite zombies, everyone seems very cautious.

Of course, if there are second-level mutants in the team, it will be different.

After Yang Changhong's men saw several elite zombies, they immediately notified Yang Changhong, who then notified Wang Tao.

"Are there any elite zombies... Let me take a look."

After receiving Yang Changhong's message, Wang Tao climbed to the roof of the car. With his enhanced vision, he easily found the zombie group Yang Changhong mentioned.

"A vomiter, a charge, a violent terrorist, and some ordinary zombies... They are all first-level."

Wang Tao was a little disappointed that there were no second-level zombies.

Of course, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat and cannot be wasted.

"They are all first-level zombies, what does Boss Yang say?"

Wang Tao said to Yang Changhong not far away.

Yang Changhong put down the telescope and looked at Wang Tao with some surprise.

She could tell the difference between first-level zombies and second-level zombies. But she had to get closer and use her perception of danger and experience with zombies to draw a comprehensive conclusion.

And Wang Tao could directly judge that it was a first-level zombie from such a distance?

"Are you sure these are all first-level zombies?" Yang Changhong asked, and then explained, "It's not that I don't believe you, but if the judgment is wrong, someone may die, and I have to be responsible for their lives."

"Sure. Of course, I mean this group of zombies. If there are other zombies coming, it's hard to say."

Wang Tao smiled.

"Okay!"

Yang Changhong chose to believe Wang Tao. After all, everyone is a teammate now. There is no need to cheat. And I will definitely go in and observe later.

After thinking for a while, she said to Wang Tao:

"Since they are all first-level zombies, it's not difficult for us. How about comparing who kills faster? Whoever wins will naturally get the crystal core, and then the winner can make a reasonable request, and the other party cannot refuse, how about it?"

After saying that, she deliberately licked her lips.

"Oh?"

Wang Tao looked at Yang Changhong's seductive face and was immediately interested.

"Okay, no problem!"

Wang Tao didn't care about winning or losing, Wang Tao cared about the crystal core. After all, these first-level elite zombies were discovered by Yang Changhong's people. Even if he wanted the crystal core, it would be difficult for him to fight for it.

But since Yang Changhong proposed to compete to see who can kill faster, he must take the crystal core!

"Don't worry about making a noise that will attract crazy zombies, just go all out. Crazy zombies are not as fast as our cars, just kill them and leave, they can't catch up."

Yang Changhong also reminded Wang Tao very considerately.

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows. What does this woman mean? Does she look down on him?

Yang Changhong certainly doesn't look down on him. The reason why she wants to compete with Wang Tao is mainly to see how strong Wang Tao and his people are.

Using a first-level crystal core and a promise as a bet is not small. It should make them serious, right? Especially Xu Xiaojun, Yang Changhong really wants to know whether this second-level superpower is stronger than herself!

As for whether she will lose... she definitely won't, because she has a speed superpower!

The convoy slowly drove towards the group of zombies.

It stopped about 40 to 50 meters away from them.

Yang Changhong was obviously very experienced. Even if the zombies discovered him at this distance, the attackers wouldn't be able to rush over immediately, because the attackers' charging distance was only about 30 meters, which would give them enough time to react.

The other survivors were very excited when they heard that their boss was going to compete with Wang Tao and the others. They have only met one second-level superpower in their boss so far, and they also want to know the strength of other second-level superpowers.

But what is surprising is that it was not Xu Xiaojun who took action on Wang Tao's side, but Wang Tao himself.

Not a second-level superpower?

Everyone was confused, even Yang Changhong frowned, but she didn't say much.

"Are you ready?"

"Hold on."

Wang Tao took out a recurve bow from the car.

Everyone: "?"

"Okay, we can start now."

When everyone was a little confused, Wang Tao directly drew his bow and arrow.

call out--

call out--

call out--

In an instant, all three elite zombies were hit by arrows in their heads, and their health bars were cleared.

"I won."

Wang Tao turned his head and looked at Yang Changhong who was holding a machete and was about to rush over.

"..."

Why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew how to attack from a distance?
