Chapter 308 Flying Zombies
There are three trophies in total that Cui Sheng mentioned.
The first loot was a piece of protein, commonly known to survivors as "cockroach paste."
The body of the monster killed by Wang Tao yesterday was processed into protein blocks overnight after being tested at the city hall and determined to be non-toxic.
Regardless of what the raw material of the protein block is and whether it tastes good or not, this thing is considered a kind of hard currency in Changhe Base. Because it is nutritious, cheap, and easy to carry and store. Whether at home or out, it is a must-have item.
This cockroach monster looks like a bug, so it makes sense that it is rich in protein and can make protein blocks.
The protein blocks made with it were divided into three equal parts. One share for Wang Tao, one share for Duan Xuchang’s team, and one share for the City Hall.
"This monster weighs a total of 10 tons. Excluding various shells, bones, etc., the edible parts total 4 tons. These 4 tons of ingredients and other ingredients are then processed and compressed... and finally 3 tons of protein are obtained Blocks. After being divided into three parts, each part is 1 ton. According to the standard size of protein blocks, one piece is about 50g, so 1 ton is 20,000 pieces..."
Cui Sheng explained very carefully.
In fact, protein blocks are not valuable. After all, they are the most basic food in Changhe Base. If they are too expensive, many people will not be able to afford to eat. According to current prices, one crystal coin can buy dozens of yuan, and 20,000 yuan is equivalent to only a few hundred yuan.
But this is not a question of money, but a question of attitude - this is a trophy that belongs to Wang Tao. Since it was agreed to be divided equally, it must be delivered to Wang Tao. Even if it is worth one crystal coin, the point is still scored!
Wang Tao was not interested in the protein blocks themselves, but he was very interested in how the city hall turned the monster's body into protein blocks overnight.
After all, this is a big thing weighing several tons. Can it be made into protein blocks in just one night? This speed is a bit fast! Is it possible that they also have equipment similar to food compressors?
"Mr. Wang, do you think you should bring these protein blocks in or put them in the bank?"
Cui Sheng asked again after explaining.
"Oh? This can also be deposited in the bank?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
"Of course! Whether it is crystal nuclei, weapons, ammunition, or food, it can all be stored in the bank. As far as food is concerned, this kind of protein block is very popular with banks. After all, it cannot be stored for a long time. If you store it too much, If it leads to spoilage, it would be too wasteful. It is better to let the bank make reasonable arrangements..."
Wang Tao has gained some knowledge.
"Move in."
For Wang Tao, the storage method doesn't matter. He can place the protein blocks in the magical stomach pouch, or process them again into nutrient solution.
"okay!"
Cui Sheng's car stopped outside, and he immediately had people move the ton of protein blocks into the yard.
There are 20 boxes in total, each box costs 1,000 yuan.
Wang Tao opened one of the boxes and took a look. All the protein blocks were arranged neatly, like jelly.
In fact, if you don’t know what the raw materials of protein blocks are, its appearance is still acceptable.
"How did you make this? It's so fast!"
Wang Tao asked directly.
Cui Sheng did not hide anything, he immediately explained:
"The Hope Research Institute has developed a set of equipment specifically used to make these protein blocks, and these equipment are placed in the factory. With sufficient raw materials and the factory's full horsepower, these protein blocks can be made quickly. "
"I see."
Wang Tao nodded, this was almost as he imagined.
Then Cui Sheng took out the second and third trophies.
"These are processed legs and carapace...can be used to make weapons or armor. This fourth-level material is very popular! If you don't know much about making weapons and equipment, you can also entrust our city hall to help. Build…”
When Wang Tao collected the trophies yesterday, he only took away the trophies with names. These things without names were left behind by Wang Tao.
For example, this monster has many legs, but only 10 of them have names and can be stored in storage spaces. The remaining legs couldn't be stored in the storage space, so Wang Tao didn't take them.
As a result, Duan Xuchang sent it to him again...
Wang Tao felt that this thing was of no use to him. After all, the equipment he used were all made from design drawings. However, they all delivered it in person, so Wang Tao naturally accepted it.
After Cui Sheng handed all these things to Wang Tao, he did not leave. Instead, he coughed and asked softly:
"Mr. Wang, I heard that you picked up some meteorites last night..."
"..."
Wang Tao immediately glanced at Cui Sheng.
Good guy, no wonder he delivered the stuff so early in the morning and said he wouldn't take advantage of Wang Tao, but it turned out to be waiting for him!
"Mr. Wang, don't get me wrong! According to the rules of our Changhe base, whoever picks up an ownerless thing belongs to the same person. It is certainly not possible for our city hall to take things that belong to others!"
Cui Shengsheng was afraid that Wang Tao would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.
"What do you mean?"
"It's like this. You know, the contents of these meteorites are uncertain. There may be good things, but there may also be worthless things, and there may even be monsters! And to open these meteorites, you have to pay a lot of crystal cores... So our city hall wants to discuss with the people who get these meteorites to see if we can share the risk together - we will take out the crystal cores together, and we will divide the things after opening according to the investment ratio! If a monster appears, we will also deal with it together..."
Hearing Duan Xuchang's explanation, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows immediately.
This city hall is a bit interesting. Can it get involved in opening a crystal energy star meteorite?
But it's true, this sounds like a good idea.
After all, these crystal energy star meteorites seem to be fourth-level and fifth-level. Let's not talk about the fifth-level crystal core. Let's just say that the fourth-level crystal core is very precious now. Wang Tao doesn't have many in his hand. He wants to open all the crystal energy star meteorites in his hand. He has to think carefully, not to mention other people. If someone is willing to share the risk, it is indeed a good idea.
But Wang Tao doesn't need it. Sharing risks means that the benefits obtained will also be shared. It's not like Wang Tao doesn't have the ability to open it, so there's no need. He doesn't care about the risks. If a monster appears, he will probably be able to deal with it.
"Your idea is interesting, but I don't need it."
Wang Tao shook his head.
Cui Sheng was disappointed when he heard this.
The task assigned to him by the City Hall is to hope that Wang Tao can take out the meteorite in his hand and let everyone study it together.
If he can do this well, the leader will give him a credit.
But he also knows that this is difficult. Because Wang Tao is a fourth-level superpower. Not to mention whether Wang Tao lacks crystal cores, Wang Tao can earn fourth-level crystal cores by hunting fourth-level zombies. For such a strong man, he is definitely unwilling to share his things with others.
However, Cui Sheng was still unwilling to give up, and he hurriedly said:
"Mr. Wang, you don't have to rush to refuse, you can think about it again, the city hall will never cheat you! After all, those meteorites need fourth-level crystal cores to open, and fourth-level crystal cores are too precious now. If no one shares the risk, what if you lose money... And you may not know that some forces are ready to cooperate with the city hall to jointly open the meteorites..."
"Huh? Has anyone cooperated?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
"Yes! I guess most people should choose win-win cooperation! Of course, how you choose is your own right, but I personally suggest that you think about it again..."
Wang Tao frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly said:
"Since so many people have joined, why don't I help you share some risks?"
"Ah?"
Cui Sheng didn't react to what he meant at the first time, and then said uncertainly:
"You mean, instead of taking out the meteorites, you take out the crystal cores and share the risks with others?"
"That's right."
Wang Tao smiled and nodded.
This is what he just thought of.
He is now more curious about what is inside these meteorites. And whether there is a big difference in what can be opened by using crystal cores of different qualities.
He originally planned not to open the meteorite in his hand first, wait for others to open it first, and then go to ask about it.
But there is a problem with this, that is, he may not be able to find out. And even if he can find out, it must be a version that hides something.
Put yourself in their shoes. If he gets something good himself, and someone asks him what is inside, will he tell the truth? Most likely not. So if he asks others, he may get an answer that hides something.
But if he can participate in a share, even if it is not much, as a small shareholder, then he also has the right to know! Then it will be easy for him to know what can be opened here!
Of course, this idea is good, it depends on whether the city hall is willing. Anyway, he will try it, whether it succeeds or not, he will not suffer any loss.
"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment. I will report to the higher-ups!"
"Okay."
Cui Sheng did not dare to neglect and quickly told his superiors about Wang Tao's idea through the information watch.
After a while, Cui Sheng came over with a happy face.
"Mr. Wang, our leaders think it is a happy thing to cooperate with you! If there is no problem on your side, let's make a verbal agreement first. We will contact you after we prepare all the meteorites!"
"Oh? Agreed? Okay, then you can find me anytime when you need it."
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
He thought the city hall would not agree to let him have a share, but he didn't expect it to agree.
What Wang Tao didn't know was that the city hall got a lot of meteorites this time, and with the others, there would be even more. But the number of fourth-order crystal cores in the hands of the city hall is also limited. If they are asked to bear all the risks, they will be under great pressure.
But they have to participate, because the city hall and Wang Tao actually have the same idea-they don't necessarily have to get what's inside the meteorite. They mainly want to know what's inside! Is it worth opening!
If you ask, others may not tell the truth, but if you become a shareholder, you will definitely know the details.
On the premise of meeting the condition of "city hall is aware", it would be a good thing if someone can help them share some of the pressure.
Cui Sheng left happily. Judging from his appearance, he should have completed the task.
Not long after he left, Duan Xuchang came again.
"Wang Tao, thank you so much for yesterday!"
Although he had thanked them yesterday, Wang Tao saved so many people, so it was no problem to say thank you again.
And Duan Xuchang didn't just say thank you verbally, he also brought all the spoils that were allocated to him to Wang Tao!
"No reward without merit, you killed all the monsters, these spoils should belong to you!"
Looking at those protein blocks, claws, shells and so on, Wang Tao was a little amused.
"Cui Sheng just gave me one... and there is no use for me to have this thing! I really don't need this little thing, you can take it all! If you really feel sorry, then if there is a chance to go out and hunt zombies together, you can just give me a few heads."
Wang Tao said helplessly.
If he could really get a few more spoils packages, it would definitely be much better than this thing.
"......Alright! Haha, let's go together later!"
Duan Xuchang was not a shy person. Since Wang Tao said so, he would take the things back. It was still very useful for him and his team.
But before going back, he said to Wang Tao with a serious face:
"I came here today to tell you an important news!"
"What news?"
"Flying zombies and monsters appeared outside!"
"..."
Wang Tao opened his mouth.
This news was not unexpected, because he had thought about this when he saw those strange zombies and monsters before. After all, birds can fly, and it seems reasonable to have flying zombie birds and monster birds.
"I was suddenly called away before because of this situation. And you may not know that during the meteorite shower last night, two of the helicopters we flew out were attacked by flying monsters and crashed!"
"Hiss--"
Wang Tao's face was a little ugly.
Doesn't this mean that the sky is not safe either-the sky is not safe to begin with, and you can't fly too high, otherwise all the electronic components on the plane will be damaged, but at least you can fly at low altitude. But now... even low-altitude flight is not allowed?
"We are still studying how high flying will attract flying zombies and monsters, but it is foreseeable that the sky will no longer be safe in the future! The previous situation of helicopters exploring and opening roads at high altitudes may be difficult to appear again! Fortunately, we came back early. If we returned to the base a few days later, we might be trapped outside now..."
Duan Xuchang sighed.
In fact, he still has a biggest worry that he didn't say. The wall of Changhe Base is indeed very high, but no matter how high it is, it can't stop flying!
Especially those flying zombie monsters, they don't have electronic products on them, doesn't it mean that they can fly very high...
Wang Tao obviously thought of this, but he didn't have any solution for the time being. He can only say that he will take it one step at a time...
"I'll leave first. I still have to study these flying zombies. I'll let you know when I have a definite result."
"Okay!"
After Duan Xuchang left, Wang Tao's sense of urgency that was about to disappear came back.
I thought I would be safe when I came to Changhe Base, but now it seems that it is not necessarily the case.
Wang Tao called everyone over and told them what Duan Xuchang had just said.
After hearing this, everyone's faces were not very good.
"But you don't have to worry too much. Changhe Base is different from our previous base. Changhe Base is very strong! Tanks, cannons, power armor are all available! Even if we really encounter danger, we can deal with it!"
Wang Tao first comforted everyone, and then said:
"But we can't relax, we have to improve our strength! After all, strength is the root of everything!"
As Wang Tao spoke, he took out the entity awakening key and promotion crystal core.
He had a total of 7 entity awakening keys, which was equivalent to allowing seven people to awaken at the same time, but he only had 16 fourth-level promotion crystal cores, although they were all high-quality and could be used directly. But it was only enough for four people at most.
So Wang Tao can only let four people try to awaken at most now.
Lightning, the military dog, was excluded first because it did not need a crystal core to awaken.
Before, Wang Tao fed him the meat of a fourth-level lord monster, and it successfully advanced to the second and third levels.
But now after the third level, I don’t know how to advance. When I killed the cockroach monster yesterday, Lightning was there, but it didn’t have any urge to eat.
Wang Tao is not sure how Lightning will advance now, anyway, he definitely can’t use the crystal core.
The second person to be excluded is Jiang Shixue.
Although Jiang Shixue has recovered her memory, and the impurities in her body have dropped to 50%, she looks like an ordinary human. But she has no superpowers, and she can’t fuse the crystal core. Naturally, she can’t fuse the crystal core to advance...
Jiang Shixue was able to advance to the third level because she drank Wang Tao’s blood. But a few days ago, Wang Tao asked her to drink some of his own blood, but unfortunately it didn’t work. Wang Tao didn’t know if she drank too little, or if his blood was useless... So Jiang Shixue had to be excluded.
Then there were Nie Siyan and Gao Hua, both of whom were tools selected by Wang Tao before. After everyone else has taken their turn, it will be their turn.
Then there are Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, Chen Zhuang, and Li Qiuyu. The four of them have a relatively good relationship with Wang Tao, but their strength is slightly weaker. Especially Xiang Hongbin and Lan Yulian, one is disabled and the other is a weak chicken...so they have to line up in the back.
Finally, Yang Changhong was also eliminated because she has no hidden attributes.
And not only her, Li Qiuyu, Lu Gang, Chen Zhuang, Gao Hua and Nie Siyan also have no hidden attributes. Wang Tao just forgot, now remembering, eliminate it again...
So in the end there are only seven candidates left.
They are Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng, He Jijun, Xu Xiaojun and Wei Zhenguo.
After some discussion, Wang Tao and everyone finally selected four candidates.
The first one is Lan Yulian, for no other reason, just because she is a nanny. She is strong alone, and the whole team is strong!
