Chapter 176 Arson

"Boss, the defense facilities have been set up!"

"Okay, let's follow the previous rules and take turns to keep watch.

"Yes!"

Wang Tao found it very interesting to see Yang Changhong and his group busy.

If Wang Tao spent the night outside, he would basically find a suitable house and close the doors and windows tightly.

Yang Changhong and his group were different. After arriving at the motel, they did not live inside, but set up a few simple tents and lived in the tents.

Outside the tents were cars, and outside the cars were various spikes, barbed wire and other defensive fortifications.

Yang Changhong explained that when they stayed in some flat and open places, they liked to live outside. Because if they encountered danger, their first reaction was to drive away directly.

Wang Tao was used to living in the house no matter where he was. . If there is any irresistible danger, he will hide first. If he can't hide, he will hide in the house. If he can't hide at all, he will run away... Of course, most of the time, Wang Tao will take the initiative to attack and solve the danger.

It is hard to say which of these two methods is better, but Yang Changhong and his team have experience and driving skills, so for them, the first method is obviously more suitable.

There is a tent in Wang Tao's car, but it is not big and can accommodate two people at most.

Xu Xiaojun took the initiative to live in the tent and let Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue sleep in the car. There is a lot of space in the car and there are not many things, so it is naturally no problem for two people to sleep.

When Xu Xiaojun was setting up the tent, Wang Tao gave him a set of sportswear.

[Black sportswear set: Durability +5, tear resistance +5]

This is what was in the sportswear zombie's package today, just right for Xu Xiaojun to wear.

…

After looking at the monster illustrations, Yang Changhong was a little worried about her safety tonight. She was not sure whether the night demon would appear near her temporary camp.

Although the illustrations said that the more zombies there were, the more likely it was for the night demon to appear, and it was difficult to see the night demon in places with fewer zombies and in the wild.

But after all, there was still a chance of encountering it, so Yang Changhong arranged an extra group of people to be on duty today to ensure that any danger could be discovered in the first place.

After the arrangements were made, it was time for dinner.

Yang Changhong's Dinner was rice with pickled wild vegetables.

They had been to a rice mill before and got a lot of rice. Rice has been the staple food recently.

As for pickled wild vegetables, there are actually quite a few wild vegetables in the wilderness, but few people know them. Some of them knew wild vegetables, so they pickled some wild vegetables.

Yang Changhong invited Wang Tao to have dinner together, and Wang Tao was not polite and brought Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun over.

A group of people sat together, with a small table in the middle, on which was a large pot of pickled wild vegetables and several bottles of chili powder.

As the sun set, a group of survivors sat together outside a semi-abandoned building to enjoy dinner. The atmosphere was quite special.

"Is this wild vegetable? "

Hearing Yang Changhong's introduction, Wang Tao's eyes lit up. He hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time.

Wang Tao tasted it, and the taste of this wild vegetable... can only be said to be average. But it is understandable that if this kind of wild grass is really delicious, it may not be a wild vegetable. Especially since it is just simply pickled without any other seasoning.

Xu Xiaojun is not picky about food, and everything he eats tastes delicious. He and Wang Tao both hold the bowl and eat with big mouthfuls.

Jiang Shixue prefers to eat meat and nutrient solution. She seems to have no interest in these rice and wild vegetables. She eats them in small mouthfuls, and seems to be Very ladylike.

Everyone saw that Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun were eating very happily, and they all smiled.

Although you are very powerful, we are not useless either. Take these foods for example. I guess you haven't eaten them for a long time - they all thought so in their hearts.

Yang Changhong's expression remained unchanged, but she was also a little proud in her heart.

She admitted that she was not Xu Xiaojun's opponent, but she won in terms of food.

But at this moment, Wang Tao suddenly seemed to think of something.

"Oh, by the way, I have some fish here too, everyone, please feel free."

Wang Tao took out a water bag from his arms.

"Fish? "

Yang Changhong was stunned for a moment. How many fish can be put in this bag? Small dried fish, right?

But she didn't dislike it, but looked forward to it. After all, she hasn't had meat for a long time, and it's good to taste it.

Others also looked at Wang Tao expectantly.

Then, a scene that made everyone stunned happened.

Wang Tao opened the mouth of this "water bag" and poured it on the small table.

Dongdongdong——

Pieces of large dried fish appeared from this "water bag" one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they filled the entire small table.

Everyone: "?"

After being stunned, everyone was a little excited.

"Fuck, what is this!"

"How can such a small bag hold so many things?"

"Space equipment in novels? ”

“…”

Yang Changhong was also shocked, but soon looked at Wang Tao with fiery eyes.

“This is…”

She didn’t want to know the principle, she only knew that this thing was a doomsday survival artifact! If their team could have this thing…

“This, this is called a magical stomach sac, which is something inside some special zombies. It can store a lot of food, and it is low temperature inside, just like a refrigerator. But it can only store food, other things can’t be put in. ”

Wang Tao didn't hide it either. He would have to take things often in the future, so he couldn't hide it.

"I go!"

Everyone was amazed when they heard Wang Tao's explanation.

Although there are some restrictions, it still cannot hide the value of this thing!

"You're welcome, just take it as you like. We've been eating fish lately and we're all tired of it..."

Wang Tao greeted everyone.

"Thanks!"

Everyone quickly thanked him.

Originally, some people were still a little resentful towards Wang Tao, but now that they see how strong Wang Tao and others are, and how approachable Wang Tao is... everyone's little resentment disappeared instantly.

Many people even think that Wang Tao and their boss are actually a good match! Even Xiao Jia, who was kicked down by Jiang Shixue before, is no longer resentful. After all, this dried fish is so delicious!

Yang Changhong was hesitant to speak. She really wanted Wang Tao's magical stomach, but let's not say whether Wang Tao would give it to her. Even if he gave it, she couldn't afford it, and she had nothing in exchange for it.

As for giving it away for free...she is a more practical person and won't daydream.

So Yang Changhong can only give up and see if he can get anything good in the future, and then exchange it with Wang Tao, if Wang Tao is willing to exchange.

But I have to say, this dried fish is really delicious!

Hearing Wang Tao say that the fish was caught in the lake, Yang Changhong silently remembered the news. They had been moving and rarely encountered wild water sources. If they did, they had no chance to fish...

After the meal, Wang Tao gave them the uneaten dried fish.

When Wang Tao learned that there was a cook among the group of people, he was immediately overjoyed. It's not that Wang Tao doesn't know how to cook, but that he doesn't have any seasoning. And this cook has a lot of spices in his hands.

Wang Tao also had some unprocessed fish meat, which he could just process. The cook was also very happy and said that there was no problem. After all, Wang Tao said that the cooked food would be shared with everyone.

It was still time to go to bed. Wang Tao did not get in the car, but chatted with Yang Changhong for a while.

"Why do they call you boss?"

Hearing this question, Yang Changhong smiled.

"I am the largest shareholder and chairman of a small company. When the apocalypse came, I organized some employees to resist and led them to escape from the building. Later, the old employees died and scattered, and there were fewer and fewer people. , but there are also some new people joining in. The new people call me boss when they see the old people, and they all call me boss..."

Yang Changhong's tone was a bit nostalgic.

It was obviously a few months ago that she became the boss, but now when I think about it, it feels like it was a lifetime ago, and even many memories are starting to blur.

"She turns out to be a rich woman!"

Wang Tao understood clearly. No wonder these cars are all luxury cars, and they are well maintained and have not been corroded by acid rain. It is estimated that these may be her own or company's cars.

Hearing the word rich woman, Yang Changhong shook his head helplessly.

In the apocalypse, no matter whether you are a rich man or a rich woman, if you have no strength, you will all be nothing. It's not easy for her to survive until now.

"What do you think about the second-level zombies I told you?"

Yang Changhong asked Wang Tao.

"Of course it's...killing! If you want to go, then come together. If you don't want to go, I will go by myself."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Yang Changhong had already told Wang Tao the location of the nest of second-level zombies, and Wang Tao was definitely going to take a look. As long as he is sure that there are no third-level zombies there, he will definitely take action.

"...Okay, I won't go, but I will wait for you. You must pay attention to safety!"

Yang Changhong actually wanted to go over and have a look, but after all, she had so many subordinates, and the combat effectiveness of the second level was much stronger than that of the first level. If they were affected, they would either die or be injured.

"Okay. I'll go there tomorrow and make a quick decision."

Wang Tao nodded.

Hearing this, Yang Changhong seemed to think of something, and suddenly frowned and asked:

"You... are you also a second-level superpower?"

She didn't feel the aura of a second-level superpower user from Wang Tao, but Wang Tao's confident look could not be faked. Unless he himself was a second-level superpower user, how could he have such great confidence?

So she stopped guessing and asked directly.

"yes."

Wang Tao nodded.

"..."

Yang Changhong fell silent for a moment.

She suddenly thought of another question. A second-level superpower like Xu Xiaojun obeyed Wang Taoyan... So how strong is Wang Tao?

She had previously thought that Wang Tao might have some special personality charm that impressed Xu Xiaojun. But now after hearing Wang Tao admit that he is a second-level superpower, she felt that although his personality charm may be there, strength must also play a big factor!

For example, if she didn't have this strength, it would be impossible for all these people to listen to her unconditionally.

And if Wang Tao is stronger than Xu Xiaojun, then his previous competition with Wang Tao seemed to be overestimating his abilities...

Yang Changhong was a little shocked.

She finally became a second-level superpower, and even when she successfully advanced to the second level, she had the illusion that "she was the first second-level superpower in the world."

But now, I randomly met two people on the road. Even if they were both second-level superpowers, they were still better than me!

Yang Changhong is a very competitive person, otherwise she would not have started a company and become the boss herself. But now that I'm being hit one after another, it's a bit uncomfortable...

Yang Changhong said feebly:

"We made a bet before, what do you want to ask for?"

"Do you really agree to any conditions?"

Wang Tao looked at Yang Changhong, his eyes were somewhat unscrupulous.

Yang Changhong suddenly felt goosebumps.

Before, when she thought Wang Tao was a first-level superpower, her attitude towards Wang Tao was somewhat arrogant, and she naturally felt that she was a level higher. So she didn't care about Wang Tao's glances.

But now, after discovering that Wang Tao might be stronger than herself, her psychological advantage is gone. Feeling Wang Tao's glances again, she suddenly felt as if she was stripped naked...

"Well, within the scope of your ability... You can't go too far!"

Yang Changhong moved his eyes away somewhat unnaturally.

"I will definitely not make it difficult for you. But I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it when I think about it."

Wang Tao smiled.

"..."

After Yang Changhong left, Wang Tao also went back to the car to prepare for sleep.

The space in the car was large, and he and Jiang Shixue didn't seem crowded when lying together. But Jiang Shixue liked to get close to Wang Tao, and soon she got into Wang Tao's arms.

Wang Tao was helpless. He could only watch but not use it. If he had known earlier, he would have gone to sleep in a tent with Xu Xiaojun. It was torture.

…

Nothing happened overnight.

After getting up in the morning, Wang Tao left the convoy.

After hearing that Wang Tao was going to find those second-level zombies, the other survivors were a little worried, but they didn't say much. After all, Wang Tao's strength was here.

Yang Changhong said that he would wait for Wang Tao for three days. If Wang Tao didn't come back after three days, they would have to leave. After all, it was impossible to wait forever.

Wang Tao said that it was no problem. He would definitely come back in one day at the fastest and two or three days at the slowest.

The place Yang Changhong mentioned was in a miniature reservoir. She found it when she passed by a few days ago.

Wang Tao looked at the map and found the location of the reservoir.

If you drive directly from here, it may take an hour. But the road is probably not smooth, so Wang Tao set a time of one morning for himself.

But his luck seemed good today. Although he encountered many zombies on the road, and even encountered a small group of crazy zombies, they were all easily solved. By the way, I also harvested several crystal cores.

Yesterday, the sportswear zombie gave Wang Tao 690 HP, and today these zombies gave him another 60 HP, so Wang Tao's HP also reached [15200/15200].

He is only halfway to the third level with 30,000 HP!

"I hope this reservoir can give me a surprise..."

...

This is an abandoned reservoir with no water and overgrown weeds.

Yang Changhong said that the second-level zombies she saw were just outside the reservoir. Wang Tao drove around the reservoir and did not find any second-level zombies except for a few ordinary zombies.

Yang Changhong obviously had no need to lie to him. Either these zombies had left, or they were in the reservoir - the weeds in the reservoir were too high, taller than people, and if there were zombies in it, Wang Tao would not be able to see them.

"Do you want to go down there?"

Xu Xiaojun scratched his head as he looked at the weeds below.

He felt that if he went down like this, it would be too dangerous, after all, no one knew where the zombies were, but if Wang Tao asked him to go, he would naturally not refuse.

Wang Tao looked at the large patch of weeds and suddenly had an idea.

"Let's not go down yet, let's go clean up the area around the reservoir."

The reservoir was surrounded by concrete, so grass could not grow. The grass was inside and outside the reservoir.

Wang Tao and the other two simply cleaned up to ensure that the inside and outside of the reservoir were completely separated. Then Wang Tao found a pot of gasoline from the car.

The gasoline was included in the car. Yang Changhong was very generous. After giving the car to Wang Tao, he also left the gasoline to Wang Tao.

"I hope you are inside, otherwise it will waste my gasoline..."

Wang Tao grinned.

It was only at this time that Xu Xiaojun knew Wang Tao's plan, and he immediately widened his eyes.

Wow, you want to set such a big fire!

It's a bit exciting!

The area of ​​this reservoir is not large, it is a micro reservoir. But no matter how small it is, it has a certain area. If the weeds inside are set on fire, what a big fire it will be!

Wang Tao was actually afraid that the fire would be too big and burn himself, so he specially checked and cleaned the surroundings to make sure there were no other flammable materials around, and to ensure that the fire was controlled within the range of the reservoir.

There was a slight breeze today, so Wang Tao took out a piece of cloth, tested the wind direction, and drove the car to the upwind.

Then he took the oil can and poured gasoline on the weeds in the reservoir.

Gurgle Gurgle -

Finally, Wang Tao lit the cloth in his hand and threw the burning cloth into the reservoir.

Wow -

In an instant, a huge fire rushed into the sky.

Wang Tao and the other two subconsciously took a step back.

"Okay, let's watch carefully. If there are zombies, call me in time."

Wang Tao took out a bow and arrow and spoke.

"Okay~"

"Yes!"

These weeds are not dead grass, there is a lot of water in them, so when the fire burns, thick smoke will billow directly.

"If this happened before the end of the world, I'm afraid I'd have to spend the rest of my life in prison..."

Wang Tao felt his breathing quicken because the oxygen around him was decreasing and the heat wave was coming. He couldn't stand it anymore and quickly took the two of them back a few steps.

In the past, he only saw the news about a fire in a certain place and how many people were killed and injured. But he didn't feel how terrible the fire was. But today, he felt the power of the fire. It was so uncomfortable to be outside the fire, so you can imagine how bad it was in the center of the fire.

"Roar——"

After a few minutes, Wang Tao heard a roar from the reservoir.

"Sure enough, there are zombies! This doesn't sound like the sound of ordinary first-level zombies!"

After a while, the roars became more and more.

"Look where they are!"

Wang Tao resisted the discomfort and took a few steps forward.

"There!"

Suddenly, Jiang Shixue pointed to a place.

Wang Tao looked over and found a zombie in flames.

[1398/7000]

Swoosh——

An arrow flew out and accurately pierced its eye socket.

[-1398]

[0/7000]

Second-level zombie, health bar cleared.
