Chapter 199 Upgrade Action

[Super Rage: Passive ability, can increase: strength, running speed, athletic ability, throwing skills. When the health is less than 30%, the rage is triggered (side effect: none)]

Seeing the attributes of this ability, Wang Tao's mouth was almost grinning to his ears.

What is awesome? This is awesome! This ability can replace all the abilities of others!

Wang Tao continued to look at the crystal cores in his space backpack, and then decided to upgrade the ability of high-frequency vibration to the second level.

The attack of this ability is really high. Wang Tao now has a very good bone knife, which is just right for this ability.

But Wang Tao can only fuse four crystal cores. He now has five abilities: shock wave, barrier, super rage, precision shooting and high-frequency vibration.

So Wang Tao is going to put precision shooting into the cold palace for the time being.

After all, his super rage includes throwing proficiency, which is half of precision shooting. It is definitely not as good as precision shooting at a long distance, but it is still okay at a medium distance.

Anyway, as long as he has enough special energy, he can use the superpowers alternately in the future!

Wang Tao used a second-order superpower to upgrade high-frequency vibration to the second order. Then Wang Tao accidentally discovered that shock waves and high-frequency vibrations can be combined!

[Shock wave + high-frequency vibration (91%)]

This probability is not low. Without much hesitation, Wang Tao immediately combined it! It's just that high-frequency vibration is placed in the main position. Because he has relatively more shock wave crystal cores in his hand, if the shock is gone, it can be fused again. But if the high-frequency vibration is gone, it's really gone.

A moment later.

[Fusion successful, get a new superpower: second-order level 1 vibration shock]

"Success!"

Wang Tao's face was not surprised. His luck has always been good. It's impossible to overturn with such a high success rate.

[Vibration shock: consume energy, you can use high-frequency vibration and shock waves]

Wang Tao thought it would be combined into a fusion of the two, but he didn't expect it to be used separately. But this is better and more convenient to use.

After the successful fusion of these two superpowers, Wang Tao has another position!

Wang Tao looked at the crystal core in his hand and felt helpless. There were not enough crystal cores.

Precision shooting could be left unfused for the time being, and he would do it when needed.

What he wanted to fuse the most was perception, but unfortunately he only had one perception crystal core.

The side effect of this perception crystal core was that it was not a female fusion, and the perception ability was weakened by 50%.

Since it was going to be fused, it must be a crystal core without side effects, especially since this side effect was so painful.

Perception could only wait for the time being.

As for the other crystal cores... Wang Tao felt that there was nothing suitable for him, so he fused a first-level sprint crystal core and added it to 10.

[Sprint: Consume energy and sprint forward a short distance]

This ability is still good in close combat, and it is more suitable for Wang Tao now.

Wang Tao looked at his attributes again.

[HP: 29999/29999]

[Mana: 9500/9500]

[Special Energy: 26140]

[Impurities in the Body: 1%]

[Powers: Second-order Vibration Impact +1, Second-order Barrier +1, Second-order Super Rage +1, First-order Sprint +10]

Except for Sprint, the other three powers are synthesized powers, and they are all +1.

Wang Tao can use the second-order omnipotent crystal core at this time, but he considers that he will continue to synthesize it in the future. If he uses the omnipotent crystal core now, it will still be downgraded later.

So it is better to wait and synthesize these powers to the upper limit before using the omnipotent crystal core. As for the 1% of impurities in the body, it can only be slowed down.

…

The next day.

Wang Tao woke up refreshed. All the negative states of yesterday were eliminated.

Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun were basically fine, but Nie Siyan still had some sequelae. She stayed in the room alone and did not dare to go out.

Wang Tao went in to take a look. When Nie Siyan saw Wang Tao, she seemed to see something that made her angry, and she subconsciously wanted to attack Wang Tao.

But she soon stopped, threw down the steel pipe in her hand, and knelt in front of Wang Tao.

"Brother Wang, I didn't mean it. I mistook you for Huang Wei..."

"Get up."

Wang Tao knew that it was not her fault. It could only be said that her mental strength was too weak, and this sequelae was too serious for her.

But compared with yesterday, it was much better. At least she could recognize Wang Tao quickly.

After confirming that Nie Siyan was not in danger of life, Wang Tao left. Today, he continued to prepare to go to the places marked on the map by him to look for third-level zombies.

It was purely an accident to encounter a fourth-level monster yesterday. In Zijing City now, second-level zombies are not very common, and third-level zombies are even less. The probability of encountering a fourth-level zombie is estimated to be about the same as buying a lottery ticket. He didn't believe he would encounter it again today.

The three drove away from the arcade.

But after a day of wandering outside, Wang Tao was a little helpless.

Today, we did not encounter any Level 4 zombies, but we did not encounter any Level 3 zombies either. We only encountered some Level 2 zombies and quite a few Level 1 zombies.

Wang Tao basically did not do anything during the whole process, and Xu Xiaojun dealt with them all. Today was definitely a fruitful day for Xu Xiaojun. His HP was already over 20,000, and he was heading towards 29,999.

After returning to the arcade in the evening, Wang Tao went to see Nie Siyan's condition again.

She was much better than in the morning, and could go out to handle some affairs in the base.

"Brother Wang, I will be fine tomorrow, really!"

Nie Siyan was a little flattered by Wang Tao's concern.

"That's good." Wang Tao nodded, and then said, "When it's ready tomorrow, don't forget to contact other people to buy crystal cores."

"yes!"

night.

Wang Tao was doing his daily exercise when Nie Siyan suddenly came over.

"Brother Wang, I didn't bother you..."

Seeing Wang Tao's naked upper body, sweat flowing on his beautiful muscles... Nie Siyan suddenly swallowed in disappointment.

She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look further.

It is said that men are lustful, but in fact, women are also lustful, or even more so. Of course she is no exception.

But after all, Wang Tao's shadow was too deep, and she didn't dare to go beyond it in the slightest.

"If there's something wrong, tell me."

Wang Tao spoke without looking back.

"That's right, I just received news from the Bauhinia Base..."

"Huh? Bauhinia Base? Is it the number one power? Can their news spread so far?"

Wang Tao turned around, a little surprised.

Bauhinia City is very large, and Bauhinia Base is located far away from the video game city. Normally, there is no way for the two to communicate directly.

"Yes, it's them! When the original Bauhinia base was first established, there was a signal tower built, which could transmit wireless signals over a long range. Later, there were several acid rains, which caused the signal tower to become unusable. Recently, they put the signal tower The tower has been repaired..."

Nie Siyan quickly explained.

"No wonder……"

Wang Tao suddenly realized that this was very reasonable.

"What did they say?"

"The Bauhinia Base said that zombies are evolving too fast now, but humans can't keep up with the zombies. If this continues, humans will perish sooner or later. So they are preparing to unite the major forces in Bauhinia City to carry out an upgrade campaign. …”

"Upgrade the movement?"

"The general meaning is that within the scope of Bauhinia City, select a few representatives, and then temporarily provide the resources of Bauhinia City to these representatives, so that these people can rise to the third level. With third-level superpowers, the strength of human beings It will be greatly enhanced, and then these third-level superpowers will drive other humans to upgrade..."

After listening to Nie Siyan's explanation, Wang Tao called him a good guy.

"Be rich first and lead rich later?"

"That's what I mean..."

Theoretically speaking, there is indeed nothing wrong with this statement.

Since the number of superpowers slowly increased, everyone began to realize the importance of high-level combat power.

Just like when Wang Tao was in Shuize County, they were all first-level superpowers. A second-level Orangutan Lord zombie almost wiped out their entire base.

And after Wang Tao is promoted to the second level, it will not be too easy to deal with the second level toad zombies.

If a zombie has a high-level combat power, it will make it difficult for survivors to sleep or eat. On the contrary, if the survivor has a high-level combat power, not only can he overwhelm the opponent, but he can at least block the opponent's attack...

The current situation in Bauhinia City is that humans are only at level 2 at most, but zombies are already at level 3, overwhelming humans!

And this level three zombie is not just one or two, but many!

Just many of the places marked by Wang Tao on the map are places where third-level zombies are suspected to be active. Not to mention what other people see.

There are even fourth-level monsters!

If humans could have third-level superpowers, the situation would definitely be different, at least they wouldn't be so afraid...

Then they want to gather the strength of the survivors in the city and let some people become third-level superpowers first. There is nothing wrong with that.

But there are two problems -

The first problem is that if you want to become the third level, you can only hunt the third level zombies and get the third level promotion core. And the third-level zombies are too dangerous. If you want to hunt them... a lot of people will probably die.

There are so many survivor forces in Bauhinia City, large and small. Even if all the resources are pooled, it is impossible for each force to have a third-level superpower.

So how are the risks and benefits allocated? You can't let people die in vain, right?

The second question is that it is okay to get rich first and then get rich later, but if these people who get rich first do not drive everyone to get rich later, but instead bully and squeeze everyone, what should we do?

Fighting with others? How can a first-level or second-level superpower fight against a third-level superpower?

Moreover, it has been a few months since the apocalypse, and everyone knows the virtues of the survivors.

Before the end of the world, the standard for a good person might be to do something good; after the end of the world, the standard for a good person would probably be not to do bad things; but now, as long as you are not so bad, you can be called a good person...

Therefore, if these two issues are not clarified, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to respond to this call for "upgrade action."

"What the Bauhinia Base wants is for forces like us to send people to their base to talk, saying that they guarantee that everyone will be satisfied..."

Nie Siyan continued.

"Let someone pass?"

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

His first reaction was Hongmen Banquet.

But he thought about it again and felt that it was unlikely.

These people may be bad, but they are never stupid.

If there are no third-level superpowers, the situation will indeed get worse and worse. If you want to start a civil war at this time, both sides will definitely lose.

Besides, although the Bauhinia Base ranks first, it is only one of the four major forces. There are three major forces behind it, plus other medium-sized forces, small forces, etc. It is impossible for the Bauhinia Base to catch all these people in one fell swoop...

Wang Tao felt that the Bauhinia Base must want to borrow the power of the survivors in Bauhinia City to supply some people to the third level. These certain people must be their own people. Maybe the boss of the Bauhinia Base wants to become the "Master of the Martial Arts World"...

"Then... shall we go?"

Nie Siyan asked weakly.

In fact, she wanted to go. If others went and you didn't, you would be isolated in the future.

If it was really some small forces, it would be fine. After all, some small forces couldn't even go far away, but the Firefly Club was a medium-sized force and had a certain ability to go far away. If you didn't go, it might not be good.

And if you went, you might be able to get a share...I don't expect the good things of the third-level psychic to fall on my head, but as long as there are more second-level psychics, it would be good.

Although Nie Siyan is the president now, she has to listen to Wang Tao, and she certainly dare not make a decision on her own.

"What do you think?"

Wang Tao did not answer, but asked back.

"I think we can go..."

Nie Siyan secretly looked at Wang Tao's face. If Wang Tao was unhappy, she would immediately change her tone.

But Wang Tao nodded indifferently.

"Then go."

Wang Tao was actually quite interested in this upgrade action.

It's not that he wants to use everyone's power to upgrade to the third level, he doesn't need it. He just thought that there must be a lot of people going there this time, and he can trade crystal cores, information, etc.

Seeing that Wang Tao agreed, Nie Siyan was relieved.

"Okay! Then... I'll wait for them to send someone over!"

"Yeah."

The message just sent via radio was one-sided.

The arcade can receive it, but there is no way to reply. So the Bauhinia Base will send someone to register later.

And they also said that this time they will not let everyone go in vain, they will take out things including the second-level crystal core to entertain everyone.

It can be seen that the Bauhinia Base is quite generous in this matter.

This also indirectly proves their strength. After all, just sending people to various places in Bauhinia City to notify is not a simple matter. Not to mention the subsequent hospitality...

However, the more this is the case, the more it can be reflected that the leadership of the Bauhinia Base has a big plan. It is estimated that it is really the same as Wang Tao's guess. The boss of the Bauhinia Base is to be a "Martial Arts Leader" in Bauhinia City...

"But your strength is too poor. If you participate in such activities, you must show your muscles. If you are not strong enough, you will only be cannon fodder."

Wang Tao suddenly said again.

Hearing this, Nie Siyan complained in her heart that their poor strength was all caused by Wang Tao. But she only dared to say it in her heart, and she dared not show it on her face. She now has an expression of "the boss is teaching me a lesson".

Wang Tao felt that since he wanted the Firefly Club to help him, it must not be too weak. It happened that he had a lot of crystal cores that he didn't use, which could improve their strength.

But it's not free. It's okay to improve your strength, but you have to show your value.

"Starting tomorrow, you will lead people to collect supplies and hunt zombies."

Wang Tao said to Nie Siyan.

"Yes!"

Nie Siyan was a little confused, but she agreed immediately.

...

The next day.

Nie Siyan's illusion sequelae basically disappeared, and she immediately summoned everyone in the base.

At present, there are 33 people in the base, excluding Wang Tao and his three people. This number is indeed ridiculously small for a medium-sized force.

Nie Siyan said that everyone should go out to collect supplies and hunt zombies. No one will be left in the base.

Hearing this, everyone was surprised at first, and then a little horrified.

This President Nie, will not sell them out too? After all, there is a precedent. But if this is really the case, they can't resist...

Soon, Nie Siyan walked out of the base with the survivors with different thoughts.

In the base, Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun to guard. After all, this is Wang Tao's foothold, and he doesn't want zombies to come in.

Then Wang Tao sneaked out with Nie Siyan's team.

The route that Nie Siyan led today was given by Wang Tao.

This journey will definitely not be peaceful, and there will be various dangers.

Wang Tao just wants to see how these people's combat quality is and whether their character is up to standard.

His requirements are not high, as long as they can kill zombies of the same level independently and will not deliberately harm their companions.

After walking outside with Nie Siyan's team for a day, Wang Tao was a little surprised.

These people are actually not bad.

Perhaps it is because Wang Tao sold all those who are about to go bad to prison. Although the remaining people are not strong, they are barely qualified in terms of combat quality and character. After all, in this situation, we can't ask for too much.

After Nie Siyan came back with everyone in the evening, everyone collapsed on the ground. If Nie Siyan hadn't been concerned about her image as the president, she would have wanted to lie on the ground and not get up.

Today's action is really too difficult!

They didn't stop at all along the way.

From the first encounter with ordinary zombies, to the encounter with crazy zombies, to the encounter with first-order zombies, to the encounter with second-order zombies... they almost encountered third-order zombies.

They almost couldn't come back...

But fortunately, at least they came back safely.

Especially when Nie Siyan actually received a compliment from Wang Tao, she suddenly felt a little unreal. She instantly felt that no matter how difficult it was today, it seemed worth it! After all, it was Wang Tao's compliment!

Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that the reason why they had such a difficult time today was actually because Wang Tao deliberately led the zombies over...

At this time, Wang Tao suddenly said to Nie Siyan:

"Come to my room tonight."

"...Yes!"

After Nie Siyan was stunned for a moment, she was immediately both nervous and excited.

"My, my chance has come?"

She hurried back to her room. When she was looting supplies before, she deliberately kept a lot of beautiful clothes...
