Chapter 226 Taking over the Bauhinia Base
Everyone ran back to the building.
"There are no zombies chasing you. They are back again... Xiaoxue, go and deal with them!"
Seeing only a few zombies chasing behind him, Wang Tao gave Jiang Shixue instructions.
"good!"
Jiang Shixue's spirit was not greatly affected. She put down Nie Siyan and returned the same way, and quickly eliminated all the zombies that were chasing her.
"Ahem, Brother Wang, I'm sorry..."
Nie Siyan spoke a little embarrassedly.
She also didn't expect that the mental impact of this zombie was so strong that even a third-level woman couldn't bear it...it almost ended up being a disservice.
"Brother Wang, I'm holding you back..."
Xu Xiaojun scratched his head, he also felt very embarrassed.
"It's okay, as long as the result is good. Moreover, this zombie's mental attack is really strong, and I almost couldn't handle it. You just need to have a good rest."
Wang Tao smiled and said.
After being mentally attacked, your head will feel very uncomfortable, and there may be some sequelae. Get a good sleep and let your mind clear, and you will feel much better.
"yes!"
The two of them didn't show off on purpose and went to rest immediately. Their heads are indeed still a little uncomfortable right now.
Wang Tao began to count the loot.
Killing this suture zombie brought a total of 14,400 special energy to Wang Tao. This is the most he has ever gained from killing a single zombie. The total special energy also came to 135,000.
"Brother, give it~"
At this time, Jiang Shixue handed the crystal core she took out from the zombie's head to Wang Tao.
[Level 3 Crystal Core·Psychic Defense]
[Quality: Epic (100%)]
[Purity: 40% (side effect: reduced defense)]
[Psychic Defense: Passive ability, increases mental defense]
"Huh?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised when he saw the attributes of this power.
I didn’t expect this zombie to have a mental defense ability. No wonder his defense is low!
And this mental defense is an ability that Wang Tao needs very much! If he has this ability, he will be more calm when dealing with zombies that can attack mentally in the future!
But speaking of it, this stitched zombie is quite unlucky. Its mental defense ability is completely useless to Wang Tao and the others - because they don't know how to attack mentally.
In addition to the crystal core, the things inside the zombie body were sewn together, as well as a lot of zombie culture fluid, all of which were collected by Wang Tao at that time.
[Obtain: Zombie Culture Fluid*44745]
"With so much zombie culture fluid... Xiaoxue won't have to worry about it anymore..."
Besides using it for Jiang Shixue, Wang Tao didn't know what other uses this thing had.
And speaking of zombie culture fluid, Wang Tao originally thought that the mother body would be a fourth-level zombie. Because according to his previous experience, there should be no way to cultivate a third-level zombie - but it is really a third-level mother zombie!
Wang Tao suspected that the mother zombie had mutated in some way or had some unexpected incident...
Wang Tao looked at the loot packages, there were 4 in total.
In the first crystal core gift pack, there are blue [Third-order Crystal Core·Promotion], purple [Third-order Crystal Core·Almighty], purple [Third-order Crystal Core·Perception], and blue [Third-order Crystal Core·Perception]. [Third-order crystal core·Psychic shock], orange [Third-order crystal core·Legendary].
Except for the last one, the others are all crystal nuclei that Wang Tao has seen before.
Especially perception and mental impact, these two abilities are Wang Tao's favorite.
Wang Tao now has three sensory crystal cores, but one is of the second level and cannot be synthesized yet.
There are already two mental shocks. If there is another one, it will be even more perfect.
As for the properties of the last crystal core, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
He said how could this zombie cultivate a third-level zombie? Here’s the reason!
[Third-order crystal core·Passed down from generation to generation]
[Quality: 100% (epic)]
[Purity: 40% (Side Effects: None)]
[Passed down the same line: You can pass on part of your strength to others, up to the upper limit of your own strength (your strength will not be permanently reduced, but it will take a certain amount of time to recover)]
This ability is very interesting, as you can pass on your strength to others. But what exactly does this strength refer to? Blood volume? The amount of blue? physical fitness? Ability? Or something else?
Just looking at this crystal core, you can't tell much. If you want to know exactly what it is like, you can only experience it yourself.
But what is certain is that the fact that this zombie can cultivate third-level zombies of the same level as itself must be related to this ability!
The second package contains potions and blueprints.
[Obtain: Spiritual Growth Potion*20]
[Obtain: Psychotropic Potion (Small)*10]
[Obtain: Psychotropic Potion (Small) Drawing*1]
Wang Tao has seen mental growth potions before, but this is the first time he has seen mental potions (small).
[Psycho Potion (Small): After injection, the spirit will increase by 10%-100% (the stronger the spirit, the greater the improvement), lasts for 1 minute, and cools down for 12 hours]
[Psychotropic Potion (Small) Blueprint: After learning it, you can make 5 Psychotropic Potions (Small) each time. Materials required: Psychological Mushroom*1, Zombie Crystal Core*1, Purified Water*100ml, 10kcal food]
This mental potion seems to be quite effective, similar to strength potion and defense potion. And there are drawings, so you can learn to make them all the time!
Wang Tao used all the mental growth potions, and then learned the blueprints of the mental potions. There are no psychoactive mushrooms now, but there will always be.
The third package is zombie culture fluid.
[Obtained: Zombie culture fluid*10000]
Including this from zombies, there are more than 50,000 zombie culture fluids in total. Wang Tao even had the idea of cultivating zombies and hunting them himself...
The last package contains grenades and blueprints.
[Obtained: Psychic shock grenade*10]
[Obtained: Psychic shock grenade production blueprint*1]
[Psychic shock grenade: causes mental shock within a certain range after detonation]
[Psychic shock grenade production blueprint: 10 mental shock grenades can be produced, required materials: third-level flesh and blood*10kg, crystal core*1, metal*1kg]
This grenade should have the same effect as the mental shock ability, but it does not consume mana, and anyone can use it.
As for the blueprint, it is similar to the previous vomiting slime grenade blueprint, which is disposable and can only make 10 at a time. However, the production threshold is very low. Only third-level flesh and blood and any crystal core are needed. Wang Tao can make it by killing a third-level zombie.
He couldn't fuse the mental shock crystal core now, so these grenades could be used as substitutes.
After counting the spoils, Wang Tao looked at the sky and it was already evening. The people who went out to hunt zombies began to come back one after another.
Wang Tao thought that since the mother zombie had been dealt with, he could start to rescue people. Now all he needed was news from Lan Yulian.
As soon as he thought of Lan Yulian, Wang Tao's intercom rang.
"Wang Tao, this is Lan Yulian. Things have been done. I am handing over some things. I will come to you in about three or four days."
"Wang Tao, this is..."
The voice in the intercom was not Lan Yulian's, but her subordinates.
The signal could be transmitted to him from the Bauhinia base, but he couldn't reply. So Lan Yulian had to keep sending messages to prevent Wang Tao from not hearing it.
"It was done so quickly?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
It seems that the general should not have set any traps. But it is also true that he is a smart man and knows that he will definitely be the first to suffer if he plays tricks.
"If it's three or four days later, then wait for her to come and save people."
If it's just killing zombies, it doesn't matter whether Lan Yulian is there or not, but if it's saving people, it's definitely best to have her as a nurse. After all, Wang Tao has professional ethics. Since he promised to save people, he must save them alive.
The next day.
After Wang Tao and the other two had a good sleep, there were basically no problems.
"Today, continue hunting zombies. Everyone, do your best. If you hunt down a promotion crystal core... I will give priority to everyone!"
Wang Tao said to everyone with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone was very excited.
Now the mainstream level of the survivors in Zijing City is still level one, there are very few level two, and only Nie Siyan and a few others are level three.
Many of these people are level one superpowers. They dare not think about level three, but as long as they can be promoted to level two, it will be a pie in the sky!
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm has been mobilized, Wang Tao waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Taking advantage of the few days before Lan Yulian came back, Wang Tao planned to lead everyone to hunt zombies intensively, and it would be best if they could improve their strength. This way, they would be more confident in saving people.
...
Three days later.
Inside the building.
"Don't go out today, take a day off."
When everyone heard that they would not go to hunt zombies today, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally, we can rest!"
During these three days, they experienced what it means to hunt zombies intensively!
They didn't know how many zombies they had killed, nor how many spoils they had obtained. They only had one word in their minds - kill.
If they didn't rest today, they felt that they would be useless.
Not to mention them, even Xu Xiaojun, who was willing to work hard, couldn't bear it.
Including Wang Tao himself, he felt exhausted all over.
Maybe only Jiang Shixue was like nothing happened, her physical strength has always been a mystery.
Wang Tao asked everyone to rest well, but he didn't have time to rest, he still had to sort out the spoils.
In these three days, everyone fought intensively for more than ten hours every day! This is much more tiring than any other shift. After all, you will die if you are not careful!
Under this intensity, the spoils are naturally very rich!
Wang Tao alone has obtained more than 100,000 special energies! Now his special energy has reached 310,000!
The fusion and extraction of the third-order crystal core requires 300 million special energies each time, and his special energy is enough for ten times.
Then there are the crystal cores. All the crystal cores obtained by killing zombies are here with Wang Tao.
There are a total of 5,000 first-order crystal cores, 1,000 second-order crystal cores and 200 third-order crystal cores!
Under normal circumstances, you will definitely not get so many crystal cores. It is not because of insufficient strength, but because there are not enough elite zombies. After all, only elite zombies can explode crystal cores.
But the situation here is special. Under the dual cultivation of artificial and maternal bodies, many zombies here have crystal cores.
This gives Wang Tao a chance.
Although most of them are white crystal cores, they are quickly fused into red and orange crystal cores after his operation.
Wang Tao picked out some all-purpose crystal cores and promotion crystal cores.
"So many crystal cores, enough for them to be reborn!"
Wang Tao said to Nie Siyan who was massaging his shoulders:
"Call Zhu Han and the other five in."
"Yes, Brother Wang!"
After a while, Zhu Han and the other five were brought to Wang Tao.
These five people are considered to be Nie Siyan's confidants. Before, there were more than 300 people in the entire Skeleton Society, and she only trusted these five subordinates.
Although Zhu Han and the other five often complained about Nie Siyan behind her back, they were really loyal to Nie Siyan.
There is no shortage of smart people in the end of the world, but every smart person has different ideas. The idea of Zhu Han and the other five smart people is very simple-find a thigh and hold it tightly. As long as the thigh is not dead, they will not leave!
Facts have proved that their choice is correct. They hugged Nie Siyan's thigh, and Nie Siyan hugged Wang Tao's thigh. They also hugged Wang Tao's thigh in disguise.
Although they are also very tired these days, it doesn't matter if they are tired, at least they are safe. In the end of the world, people are not afraid of being tired, but they are afraid of being unsafe.
As long as they can follow Wang Tao, they will not worry about no benefits in the future!
For example, now, when Zhu Han learned that the five of them were summoned by Wang Tao, he was excited. It seems... there are benefits!
When Wang Tao saw Zhu Han and the others, he first asked about their abilities, and then said:
"In view of your good performance recently, I will give you two choices-"
"One, I will give each of you a purple third-level promotion crystal core, and you will keep it for future use."
"Two, I will give each of you a red third-level promotion crystal core, and you will fuse it now."
"Third-level promotion crystal core?!"
Hearing Wang Tao's words, Zhu Han and the others were stunned.
No, the reward is a third-level promotion crystal core?
Did he hear it wrong? Or is he dreaming?
Do they also have the opportunity to become third-level psychics?
Just on the way here, Zhu Han and the others were still wondering if Wang Tao would reward them with some second-level crystal cores that they could use. If so, it would be a big profit!
As for the third-level crystal core, they dared not even think about it, let alone the third-level promotion crystal core!
But now, Wang Tao wants to reward them with a third-level promotion crystal core! Or a red quality with a high fusion success rate?
Isn't this a dream?
Several people pinched their thighs subconsciously.
"Hiss - it hurts!"
Nie Siyan, who was beside him, covered her face.
What a loser, how embarrassing!
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that when I upgrade to the third level, it's not much different...
Wang Tao gave them time to think.
Finally, Zhu Han reacted first, and he said excitedly:
"Two! I choose two!"
The other four finally reacted after hearing Zhu Han's words.
"We also choose two!"
The two options given by Wang Tao are easy to understand.
Option one means that if they want to pursue the limit and collect 4 third-level promotion crystal cores before upgrading, then 1 crystal core is definitely not enough, so save the crystal core for later use.
Option two means that if they don't insist on collecting four crystal cores to upgrade, then one crystal core is enough, and they can be promoted now!
It's obvious that you have to choose two!
It's too difficult to collect 4 third-level crystal cores! And it may not be successfully fused, unless it is high-quality such as red and orange. But they couldn't even get the white ones, so how could they get the high-quality ones?
Only the big guys could play this kind of behavior of suppressing the level to make up the crystal core. They knew that they had to be promoted as long as there was a chance!
When they were promoted to the second level, they only used one second-level promotion crystal core. Now they can use one for the third level, which is also normal.
And the most important point is that they are going to rescue people next. If they can be promoted to the third level, it will definitely be of great help to the rescue operation! This rescue operation was organized by Wang Tao. Wang Tao rewarded them so much, so they must repay Wang Tao!
So several people chose option 2 without hesitation.
"Very good."
After seeing their choice, Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction. These people are very sensible.
So Wang Tao directly took out 10 third-level promotion crystal cores for them. And Wang Tao also thoughtfully prepared the second-level crystal cores that they needed to upgrade to the full level.
They have been killing zombies intensively these days, and their blood volume has long been 29999, which has reached one of the conditions for promotion to the third level. But some people's abilities haven't reached +10 yet, so they still need to upgrade.
These second-level crystal cores are basically just a drop in the bucket for Wang Tao.
Zhu Han and the other five looked at the shiny crystal cores and took them with some trembling.
Then, as if they had a telepathic connection, they knelt down in front of Wang Tao and kowtowed to him.
With these things Wang Tao rewarded them with, let alone a great gift, they would have made a lot of money by selling their lives to Wang Tao!
Wang Tao didn't hide either, he could afford this great gift.
After Zhu Han and the others got up, Wang Tao waved his hand.
"Let's all go and fuse the crystal cores."
"Yes!"
After the others left, Wang Tao asked Nie Siyan to call the eight women in the club over.
"Mr. Wang, are you looking for us?"
The faces of the women were very tired, but Wang Tao was looking for them, so they didn't dare not come. And they were also very curious about what Wang Tao asked them to do.
Wang Tao also chatted with them first and asked about their abilities.
The women didn't hide anything and told them directly.
I have to say that Lan Yulian picked good people.
These eight women are all people with abilities who have fused four types of crystal cores. Some of Zhu Han and his friends can only fuse two or three abilities.
However, when these eight women were promoted to the second level, they only used one promotion crystal core. After all, they are not Wang Tao, and they cannot synthesize crystal cores. The high-quality crystal cores are all supplied to Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng.
"In view of your good performance recently, I will give you two choices-"
Wang Tao repeated what he had just said to Zhu Han and others.
"Give us a third-level promotion crystal core?!"
The women were a little confused.
They were even more confused than Zhu Han.
After all, Zhu Han had contacted Wang Tao earlier than them. When they were in the arcade before, Zhu Han and others knew what Wang Tao was like.
And these women had only recently contacted Wang Tao, and knew that Wang Tao was very strong and had a good relationship with their leader... but that was all.
But they didn't expect that Wang Tao would actually reward them with a high-quality third-level promotion crystal core!
This is something that the generals have paid countless lives for but have not gotten!
"This, Mr. Wang, don't you think anything about us?"
The women subconsciously thought of this.
It's not their fault for thinking too much, it's really too scary!
The captain Xiaoyan spoke up:
"Hey, Mr. Wang, I, we have sworn before that we will follow the leader for life and will never betray..."
The others nodded.
Looking at these women who were obviously excited but restrained, Wang Tao found it very interesting.
But before he spoke, Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and said:
"Except for betraying the leader, you can propose other conditions! Otherwise, we will not feel at ease with this crystal core!"
