Chapter 254: Recovering Memory
Jiang Shixue woke up earlier than Wang Tao expected.
As soon as Wang Tao woke up, he saw Jiang Shixue, who was lying beside him, opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
"Huh? Wake up? How do you feel?"
Wang Rou was a little surprised.
Because Jiang Shixue's attributes were not the same as he expected.
[Health: 30000/30000]
[Mana: 60000/60000]
[Level: Level 3·Lord]
[Impurities in the body: 50%]
[Hidden attributes: Eye of the Contract, Dark Claws]
Jiang Shixue's health reached 30,000, and the mana doubled to 60,000, but the most important thing is that the impurities in the body were reduced by half!
And the zombie advancement will not reduce the impurities in the body.
Doesn't this mean that although Jiang Shixue's physique is very close to zombies, there is still a big difference between them. She is more like a human!
This is a great thing!
Wang Tao was worried before whether Jiang Shixue's physique would carry zombie viruses or something.
Now it seems that it shouldn't be. After all, 50% of the impurities in the body are not much different from many superpowers.
After hearing Wang Tao's words, Jiang Shixue turned her head to look at Wang Tao, and then suddenly hugged Wang Tao.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Tao rubbed Jiang Shixue's head with some surprise.
"I... I seem to have had a dream..."
Jiang Shixue buried her head in Wang Tao's arms and spoke in a buzzing voice.
"Dream?" After Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, he was suddenly overjoyed "Have you recovered your memory?"
"Yeah..."
Jiang Shixue hummed softly.
Wang Tao quickly let go of Jiang Shixue and looked at her seriously.
Jiang Shixue at this time has not changed much compared to before, but... her little face is very red.
Jiang Shixue never blushed before.
"Haha, that's great!"
Wang Tao happily rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair, and Jiang Shixue's face became even redder.
Wang Tao only reacted at this time. He used to treat Jiang Shixue as a child, and Jiang Shixue also liked to be with him, so the two were close.
Now that Jiang Shixue has recovered her memory, it may not be appropriate for Wang Tao to be so close to her as she is a grown-up girl.
Wang Tao immediately retracted his hand.
"Ahem, that..."
Before Wang Tao could speak, Jiang Shixue suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Tao's hand. Her face was still slightly red, but her expression was very serious.
"I, I remember everything. Thank you... brother!"
Wang Tao was very happy to see that Jiang Shixue was not unfamiliar with him after she recovered her memory.
"We are all family, no need to be polite!"
At this time, Jiang Shixue said a little nervously:
"My mother, is she okay..."
"She should be fine..."
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue sat together on the bed, and the two chatted about the past.
"I used to..."
After Jiang Shixue's explanation, Wang Tao also roughly understood her previous situation.
When the doomsday came, Jiang Shixue was participating in the school's field trip on Shuize Mountain. The virus broke out, and Shuize Mountain was naturally not immune.
Fortunately, they had police there, and the police took them to escape. They escaped the first wave of crisis.
It was at that time that she called her mother and said that she would go back to find her mother. After all, there was a policeman leading the team at that time, so she thought she should be able to avoid the crisis.
But it was only the first wave of crisis that was avoided, and many crises appeared later... Their team eventually got separated.
Jiang Shixue's character is relatively brave. She had picked up some zombie heads before, and her strength was stronger than others, so she survived for a while with difficulty.
But then the zombies became more and more, and they became stronger and stronger, and she narrowly escaped death. After finally avoiding many zombies, she came to a dead end and was surrounded by zombies.
Although she was temporarily safe and would not be eaten by zombies, she had no food in her hand. Her next ending was either being eaten by zombies or starving to death.
Jiang Shixue was unwilling to accept this, so she carefully searched the place where she was hiding.
Then she found some food and something that looked like food - she couldn't remember what it was. Because after she ate this thing, her consciousness became muddled, and her body exuded the same breath as zombies. Then... the zombies stopped biting her!
Her memory of the period after that was very vague. She only remembered that she wanted to go back to find her mother...
She remembered the things after that relatively clearly, because she came to the Shuize base, saw her mother, and met Wang Tao, but she was very angry with Wang Tao.
Jiang Shixue said frankly that when Wang Tao threatened her with her mother, she wanted to kill Wang Tao - at that time, she didn't have much thinking ability, she was very manic, and she had a little bit of rationality, otherwise she might really fight with Wang Tao.
Later, when she fought with the black fog monster, although she didn't fall into the illusion, she was actually affected, but it was a positive impact - making her calm down a little.
After calming down, she knew that she was hopeless and would become a zombie sooner or later. And only Wang Tao could save her mother, so in the end she let Wang Tao go first and she would cover the rear.
But in the end she didn't die, but was saved by Wang Tao.
Her memory after being rescued by Wang Tao was very clear, including that she called Wang Tao dad as soon as she woke up. After being corrected by Wang Tao, she kept chasing after Wang Tao and calling him brother. She even looked at Wang Tao and Lan Yulian...
Recalling these things, Jiang Shixue wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
But it was these clear memories that told her that Wang Tao had always been very good to her!
What touched her most was that after she lost her memory, Wang Tao never lied to her!
For example, Wang Tao told her everything about her family situation, her mother, and some things that happened before.
She is somewhat confident about her appearance. If someone had picked up her amnesia, they would most likely have tricked her in various ways - she had encountered this kind of thing when she was running for her life on Shuize Mountain, but luckily she saw through it.
But Wang Tao didn't lie to her. So she was willing to call Wang Tao brother.
Just recalling that she liked holding Wang Tao's hand and getting into Wang Tao's bed to sleep together at night, Jiang Shixue felt shy. She doesn't understand why she is so clingy...
Wang Tao got an important message from her words.
"You mean you didn't fuse the crystal core?"
"No……"
Jiang Shixue shook her head.
"In other words, the thing you accidentally ate before gave you a lot of strength, allowing you to improve your level - your hidden ability should also be obtained in this way. But the price is that you have 100% The impurities in the body will soon turn into zombies..."
Wang Tao analyzed.
It sounds a bit magical. It turns out that strength can be improved without relying on crystal cores! However, there are many strange and weird things appearing in the apocalypse, so there is no need to make a fuss. And the side effects of this thing are too great, much more than the crystal core!
Of course, that's what he said, but Wang Tao was still very curious about what Jiang Shixue ate. It feels a bit like items such as night vision eyes and magical seeds, but it is stronger than both eyes and seeds.
He wanted to pay more attention when he turned around to see if there was anything similar.
Moreover, is Lightning's promotion related to this thing?
Wang Tao also told Jiang Shixue about her mother Li Qiuyu. Wang Tao had spent a lot of time with Li Qiuyu before, and Wang Tao had a good impression of this woman.
Seeing that Jiang Shixue was still a little worried, Wang Tao patted her shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, your mother and everyone else will be fine."
"Um!"
Jiang Shixue nodded heavily.
"By the way, then try again to see if you can fuse the crystal core!"
Wang Tao took out several orange third-order crystal nuclei.
Jiang Shixue tried it, but still couldn't fuse.
Wang Tao suddenly felt helpless.
Jiang Shixue is so strong even if she has never fused the crystal core. If she can fuse the crystal core, she will definitely be stronger. Pity.
"But it doesn't matter, it's great if you can recover your memory!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Jiang Shixue's strength is not weak. Now that she has reached the third level, her strength will be stronger. Even if she cannot fuse the crystal core, it will not matter.
Moreover, Jiang Shixue also has two hidden abilities and very strong physical fitness, which is estimated to be incomparable to most superpowers.
"How about we go outside to test how much your strength has improved?"
Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue and said.
"good!"
The two of them took a quick shower and then went out with Lightning.
As soon as she came out, Jiang Shixue subconsciously put her hand in Wang Tao's, and then she quickly took it back as if she was electrocuted.
After Wang Tao saw it, he took the initiative to hold Jiang Shixue's little hand.
After all, these white, tender, soft little hands are very comfortable to hold.
"..."
Jiang Shixue followed Wang Tao with a red face.
It's still raining outside, but the military base has an indoor training ground.
After some experiments, Wang Tao felt that Jiang Shixue's strength had improved greatly. It was hard to say how effective she was in combat. This would only be known in actual combat. But the physical fitness has improved at least two or three times!
And it's not just an improvement in strength, but more importantly, Jiang Shixue has become smarter and more flexible after recovering her memory. After all, she was still a bit dull in the past.
"Next, you can hunt some more zombies and increase your strength. Then we will be more confident when we hunt the fourth-level zombies!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"good!"
Jiang Shixue nodded.
He Jijun has not yet woken up after being promoted to the third level. Yang Changhong and the others are recharging their strength. Wang Tao is preparing to take Jiang Shixue alone to hunt these zombies. But seeing Ling Ling looking like he wanted to go, Wang Tao took Ling Ling with him.
Two people and one dog left the military base.
The zombies around the military base had been cleared away, so Wang Tao walked towards the city.
Not long after leaving the military base, I encountered many zombies, including several third-level elite zombies.
Jiang Shixue easily eliminated all these zombies without Wang Tao taking action.
Seeing Jiang Shixue's health bar rising rapidly, Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Shixue's combat power is still strong. The third-level elite zombies can't touch her at all. It is estimated that only the third-level lord zombies can pose some threat to her.
Two people and one dog fought their way from the military base to near the city.
"The city is ahead..."
Wang Tao stopped and did not move forward.
Although he didn't see the giant zombie, he didn't plan to enter the city now. After all, he didn't bring everyone with him yet.
"There are so many zombies inside..."
Jiang Shixue frowned.
Everything visible to the naked eye on the streets and in the buildings are zombies!
Wang Tao took a general look and found no fourth-level zombies, but he saw many third-level elite zombies.
"The overall strength of zombies in the urban area of Wuyang City is much higher than that in other places. Even if there are no fourth-level zombies, these zombies below third-level are still a headache. It is estimated that there are really no living people inside..."
Wang Tao shook his head.
I heard before that there were no survivors in Wuyang City, which seemed a bit exaggerated. But now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all...
Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue and Lightning around and killed many zombies.
Seeing so many zombies in the city, Wang Tao wanted to lure some of these zombies out, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
He didn't know the specific strength of these zombies. If the zombies' perception was too sharp and attracted a group of zombies, it would be troublesome. After all, there are too many zombies in the city...
After killing until there were no zombies nearby, Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue and Lightning back. It was already dark at this time, but they all had night vision, so it wouldn't be a problem.
"Um?"
When he returned to the military base, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
He found a third-order lord zombie wandering outside the base wearing a shabby military uniform and holding a pistol in his hand!
And behind it, there were many third-level elite zombies wearing shabby military uniforms and holding rifles in their hands!
[HP: 80000/80000]
[Blue amount: 50000/50000]
[Level: Level 3·Lord]
This is a third-level lord zombie that should not be weak, but for Wang Tao, there is naturally no problem.
But after seeing these zombies holding guns in their hands, Wang Tao was a little afraid.
It’s not just the power of the gun that’s an issue, there’s also the issue of noise. If so many zombies shoot at the same time, the sound can travel very far even if it is covered by heavy rain.
Of course, the premise is that the guns in the hands of these zombies can still be used.
Wang Tao used a walkie-talkie to contact Yang Changhong and others.
"A group of uniformed zombies are coming outside the base. There are third-level lords. Don't come out..."
None of them have night vision and are at a disadvantage in this environment.
"receive!"
At this time, He Jijun happened to wake up and was successfully promoted to the third level.
Wang Tao congratulated him, and then he asked everyone to be prepared for possible zombie attacks.
He took Jiang Shixue and Lightning and quietly walked behind the group of zombies.
"I guess their guns can't be used anymore..."
After getting closer, Wang Tao saw clearly that the weapons in the hands of these zombies were mostly rusty. In this case, even if there are bullets, they are probably useless.
This is good news, so Wang Tao is ready to take action directly. However, you can’t take it lightly, you have to test it first. After all, Wang Tao doesn't want to be shot.
Wang Tao took out his crossbow and pulled the trigger on the third-level military uniform lord zombie.
call out--
A crossbow arrow hit the uniformed lord zombie in the back of the head impartially.
【-2242】
This damage is average to Wang Tao.
However, it successfully attracted the attention of this uniformed lord zombie.
It immediately turned around and looked at where Wang Tao was. But Wang Tao was already hiding. Wang Tao used his senses to observe. In addition, the distance was quite far and it was raining, so the zombies were not able to find Wang Tao's specific location.
As a result, the uniformed lord zombie turned its head and continued to wander at the gate of the military base.
It felt like it wanted to get in, but the door had been blocked again by Wang Tao, so it naturally couldn't get in.
call out--
Another arrow flew.
It accurately hit the uniformed lord zombie on the head.
"Roar--"
The military uniform lord zombie immediately turned around and roared angrily.
But it still saw nothing.
After a while, the uniformed lord zombie continued to stare at the door.
"Huh?"
Wang Tao in the distance feels amazing, why don't you come here? Does this zombie also have some obsession?
It seems that these zombies are most likely members of this military base, and maybe coming back is their obsession...
But no matter what, they are zombies without self-awareness after all, and it is impossible for Wang Tao to keep them.
Wang Tao shot another arrow.
This arrow accurately hit the uniformed lord zombie again.
But this time, the zombie lord in military uniform seemed to be completely angry.
It immediately walked in the direction of Wang Tao and raised the rusty pistol in its hand.
boom!
There was a slight noise.
An air wave that was almost invisible to the naked eye flew out of the rusty pistol barrel and landed on a large rock not far from Wang Tao in an instant.
Poof!
This big rock was penetrated directly!
"Damn it! You still have this kind of ability!"
Wang Tao is at least dozens of meters away from these zombies. How can he defeat them?
The guns in the hands of these zombies should indeed be broken, but they have a special ability similar to shooting! And the attack range is very far, at least a hundred meters away!
However, Wang Tao was not surprised but overjoyed. He needed these attack powers!
"These zombies have long-range attack capabilities similar to shooting. The attack range is very far. Xiaoxue, be careful!"
Wang Tao reminded him, and then immediately covered himself with the entangled tree roots.
The uniformed zombie lord held a pistol and walked towards Wang Tao step by step. The other elite zombies in military uniforms also followed it.
boom!
boom!
The uniformed lord zombie would raise his pistol from time to time and shoot. The elite brothers behind it also have this ability! Pick up the gun and shoot at Wang Tao's position.
Although their attack frequency is very slow, so many zombies attacking at the same time, it feels like a hail of bullets.
Wang Tao did not show up, he quietly waited for the opportunity.
When he saw that these zombies were about 30 meters away from him, Wang Tao immediately turned on the intercom and said to Yang Changhong and others:
"Make a little noise to attract it."
On the other side, Yang Changhong and others who were still in the base understood, and they made some noise.
The noise was not big, but it instantly attracted the attention of these uniformed zombies, including the uniformed lord zombie. They immediately gave up looking for Wang Tao, the sneak attacker, and turned to the military base again.
However, after they turned around, Wang Tao, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately grasped the bone knife and instantly started charging at their backs!
