Chapter 315 Awakening Science
The poison of the double-tailed scorpion does not last long, or perhaps because the resistance of the psychic is strong, the poison on Qi De's body slowly disappeared.
In the end, he still had 30,000 HP left. It was equivalent to being knocked down by a poison needle of the double-tailed scorpion.
The green on Qi De's body slowly faded, but his face was still ugly.
This battle can only be said to be... a mess.
Four fourth-level psychics against a fourth-level lord, and they fought so badly!
Although these fourth-level psychics did not cooperate much before. Even if they cooperated, they each brought a group of subordinates to cooperate, and there was no such cooperation in individual combat... But no matter what, this time they fought really badly.
After all, they are all fourth-level psychics, awakened ones! This shouldn't be the result of the battle.
Not to mention the slaughter, instant kill, etc., at least they should suppress the double-tailed scorpion, right? But the actual situation is that they were suppressed! If it weren't for Shang Heng's power armor team to take action in time, they would be even more embarrassed.
Shame!
It would be fine if it was embarrassing at other times, but this time it was in front of so many people... I lost all my face!
After a little reflection, several people quickly concluded the reason - no one used their full strength!
Especially this Zhou Long, his awakening ability is a very strong range control ability. As long as his awakening is used, he can quickly control the double-tailed scorpion. At that time, they could fight however they wanted?
But Zhou Long did not release the awakening at the first time.
He should not be hiding his weakness. After all, everyone knows this ability. He may simply want to save awakening energy.
Unfortunately, he did not save it - in order to avoid being attacked by poison needles, he hid directly in the black quicksand created by his awakening. It would be better to control the double-tailed scorpion at the beginning.
Then there were Qi De and Huang Wu. Everyone thought that they must not have used their full strength. However, their awakenings are passive abilities. Even if they hide their weaknesses, they should not be able to hide too much.
As for Wang Tao... they can't see it a little. After all, they have never met Wang Tao before and don't know Wang Tao. They didn't know how much damage Wang Tao's air bullets could do. Anyway, seeing the double-tailed scorpion roaring after being attacked, it was estimated that the damage would not be low...
After the double-tailed scorpion was killed, its body released a large amount of poisonous fog, covering the area near it.
Bombing with artillery should be able to disperse the poisonous fog. But the body of the double-tailed scorpion might be damaged, so there is no need to be so rough. Anyway, the poisonous fog is slowly dissipating, just wait a while.
Gu Yun came over with his men, and they still had a lot of protein blocks and water in their hands.
When they were fighting just now, their group of third-level psychics hid. After all, it was a battle between fourth-level psychics. Although they were third-level or even third-level peak psychics, the gap with fourth-level psychics was still very large.
Before there were fourth-level psychics in Changhe Base, the fourth-level lords who wanted to be killed were either covered by firepower or piled with human lives...
So they knew that in the battle between fourth-level psychics, they might be more of a hindrance than a help, so it was better to hide. If they really can't win, they will come out when they need to fight to the death.
Although they hid, everyone saw the battle process clearly.
Regarding the situation where several awakened people did not use their full strength, Gu Yun could only say that he had long been accustomed to it.
In the environment of the end of the world without legal constraints, things like poor cooperation, deliberate hiding, and not using full strength are too common and too ordinary. As long as they don't stab you in the back, they are good teammates.
Gu Yun knew that Qi De and the others looked bad, which must be because the battle was not going well, but another reason was that they lost face in front of so many people. After all, people are good at face.
However, Gu Yun found that Wang Tao looked quite calm, completely different from the three people. I don't know whether Wang Tao did not use his full strength or he really tried his best...
"Let's take a rest first and replenish some energy."
Gu Yun said.
"Well, wait until it's safe before going over. I feel that these poisonous fogs may poison people below the fourth level."
Shang Heng nodded.
Others naturally did not object, and took the opportunity to eat something and rest.
Qi De was eating protein blocks crazily.
He was now very low on health, and the poison needle of the double-tailed scorpion took half of his life. He was the worst among the few.
Wang Tao asked Nie Siyan to bring some medical kits.
He didn't want to expose his space backpack, so before coming, he asked Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun to take a lot of things, and just take them from them when needed.
Wang Tao handed the medical kit to Qi De, which was exploded by him when he killed monsters. The potion inside could restore 100 blood, and he also put some hemostatic potions that could add 1000 blood. Now this medical kit can restore 1100 blood.
For Qi De, who only has 100,000 blood, this 1100 blood is indeed not much, but it is actually adding blood.
So Qi De's eyes lit up immediately after using the medical kit.
"The medicine in your bag is amazing! I can actually feel my injuries recovering... Is this the same as the healing ability?!"
Injury recovery is a slow process, and it is usually not felt. The last time Qi De felt this way was when he was treated by a healing ability user.
The medical kit Wang Tao gave him actually had this kind of healing effect! Although it was not as strong as the healing ability, it still surprised him.
If he has this kind of medical kit, wouldn't it be like having a nanny by his side?
After hearing what Qi De said, the others were a little shocked. A medical kit comparable to the healing power? Really?
Qu Shilin looked at the medical kit in Qi De's hand with some suspicion. They hope that the research institute is also researching things in this area and has made some progress... But the medical kit that Wang Tao took out is obviously not from the Hope Research Institute.
"Mr. Wang, can you sell me a few medical kits?"
Qu Shilin wanted to buy a few to study.
"No. But I can give it to you."
Wang Tao saw that everyone looked very curious, so he smiled and gave each of them a few medical kits.
This kind of medical kit now adds too little blood, and it is an obsolete product for Wang Tao, after all, he has a dedicated nanny. He has a lot of medical kits in his hand that he can't use up, so he can give them to others as a favor.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you very much!"
Looking at the medical kits handed over by Wang Tao, Gu Yun and others did not pretend to be polite and immediately thanked Wang Tao.
Qu Shilin said to Wang Tao with great satisfaction:
"Mr. Wang, I won't say thank you. I promise you that I will keep your disabled brother alive!"
"..."
Xiang Hongbin is not dying, he is still alive and well...
Xiang Hongbin: "..."
Wang Tao didn't say much, and handed a few more medical kits to Huang Wu.
Looking at the medical kits handed over by Wang Tao, Huang Wu was a little embarrassed, because before Wang Tao came, he said some bad things about Wang Tao.
Although Wang Tao didn't hear it, others heard it. If he accepted Wang Tao's things, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
But after seeing that others were studying the medical kits and not paying attention to himself, Huang Wu quickly took it.
"Thank you..."
He whispered his thanks and immediately walked aside.
"You're welcome."
Wang Tao smiled.
This Huang Wu has been wearing full body armor, helmet and mask. Wang Tao doesn't know what he looks like yet. But Huang Wu is very strong, but this is based on his passive awakening of poisonous attack. Therefore, his strength will not be reflected directly, and others may not know his true strength.
"By the way, who killed this double-tailed scorpion? Did anyone see it?"
Gu Yun suddenly asked as if he remembered something.
"I don't know. The firepower was too strong just now, so I can't judge. I can only go back and check again, hoping to find it..."
Shang Heng shook his head.
Awakening requires a "key", and there is no way to awaken without this "key".
Some people will have a key in their bodies after killing a fourth-level lord. But some people will not have a key after killing a fourth-level lord.
They don't know what kind of people have it and what kind of people don't have it for the time being.
If someone is found to have killed a fourth-level lord and obtained the key, then this person can be regarded as an "awakening reserve", and such a person will be vigorously cultivated by various forces!
But Shang Heng couldn't find out who killed the double-tailed scorpion for a while, so he could only go back and check slowly.
Qi De and others looked at Shang Heng. If Shang Heng was lucky, there might really be an awakener in his legion.
Of course, this probability is not high. After all, obtaining the key is only one of the known conditions for awakening. There are still many unknown conditions in the future... It is very difficult to become an awakener! And it is not certain whether anyone will get the key...
But no matter what, Shang Heng did take advantage of this, and everyone was still a little envious.
Perhaps Gu Yun felt that Wang Tao had just come to Changhe Base and didn't understand these things very well, so he explained them to Wang Tao briefly.
After hearing these words, Wang Tao's face looked a little strange.
It's not that he didn't understand, but that he understood too much!
Wang Tao also roughly understood the understanding of awakening at Changhe Base-
Except for Wang Tao himself, no one else can see the attributes, and naturally there is no way to see the hidden attributes.
Maybe some people will find some magical things about themselves or others, but they don't think about this matter as awakening. They only know an "awakening key".
So now they have two views on awakening.
One believes that awakening is random, and people with good luck can get the key and are qualified to awaken.
The other believes that there is a certain pattern for people who can awaken, but they haven't found this pattern yet.
Wang Tao knew that awakening did have rules - it required hidden attributes. But they obviously didn't know...
At the same time, Wang Tao also heard a piece of news from Gu Yun that he didn't know - when people without hidden attributes killed a fourth-level lord, they would not get the awakening key, which was equivalent to killing in vain.
No one around Wang Tao had ever killed a fourth-level lord zombie, and Wang Tao had never communicated with others, so he didn't know this information.
After thinking for a while, Wang Tao said:
"I just happened to have some research on awakening..."
"Oh?"
Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone looked over.
Wang Tao is an awakener. He said he has researched awakening, so what he said should have a basis, so they all took it seriously.
"I wonder if everyone carefully observed their own situation when awakening? For example, do you know how you awakened?"
Wang Tao asked.
"..."
Qide and the other two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Some of them are confused in their awakening, and some of them have absorbed the experience of their predecessors and understood some things, but their predecessors did not know much, so they are still confused.
Awakening happened at that moment. They had only experienced it once, so they couldn't explain it clearly.
Even the Hope Research Institute does not do deep research on awakening. They would like to catch an awakened person to study and study it, but everyone is awakened, who wants to be a guinea pig...
When Wang Tao saw several people shaking their heads, he frowned and said:
"Don't you understand at all? Don't you know that when you awakened, there was a superpower that was integrated into the awakening? There is just one missing superpower. This should be easy to find, right?"
"Ah? The superpower is integrated into Awakening? Is it true?"
The three of Zide were shocked.
"One less power is not the price to pay for awakening... But when you put it this way, it seems possible! I lose a passive power that increases my physical fitness, and my awakening is equivalent to increasing my physical fitness. But the attributes that my ability increased were very small, almost negligible, and my awakening increased a lot, so I didn’t connect the two..."
Zide was a little stunned.
Some things are not difficult to understand, but if you don’t find the right idea, you may not be able to figure it out at all. Wang Tao just mentioned it, and Qi De felt that this was what happened!
Zhou Long and Huang Wu frowned at first, and then looked a little surprised on their faces.
They thought about their situation carefully, and it seemed that it was similar to what Wang Tao said!
The two of them did not speak, but their expressions were not concealed, and others could observe it - Wang Tao seemed to be right!
Then, everyone looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
Awakening is a very unfamiliar word to most people. Even they, their understanding of awakening is very shallow. In addition, there are relatively few awakened people and few samples, so it is impossible to conduct systematic research... so the research on awakening is very slow.
Hearing that Wang Tao seemed to have researched on awakening, and looking at the other three awakened people, Wang Tao seemed to be right, and everyone was instantly excited!
If they can really figure out what awakening is, will they also have a chance to awaken? Do the hundreds of thousands of people in Changhe Base also have a chance to awaken?
"It seems that you have confirmed what I said." Wang Tao nodded with a smile, and then said, "Maybe it's because I'm good at observation. When I woke up, I discovered a lot of things, and then after some speculation and verification ...I have roughly summarized some rules of awakening.”
"law!"
Everyone's eyes burst into light.
Is awakening really regular?
"I think that in order to awaken, there are probably three conditions that need to be met."
"The first condition is that your own strength has reached the peak of the third level. Everyone must know this condition. Killing zombies and monsters can increase your strength, so I won't say more."
"The second condition is that all your abilities have been upgraded to the fourth level. Everyone should know this, right - don't know? Well, this is also one of the conditions."
"The third condition, and the one I think is the most important, is that you have an ability that is different from ordinary people! What this ability is, I can't quite describe... I call it a 'hidden attribute'. As long as With hidden attributes, you can only get the 'Awakening Key' when you kill the fourth-level lord!"
"Awakening is to fuse these three conditions - your own strength, a random full-level ability, and your hidden ability, all together! If the fusion is successful, it is awakening. If the fusion fails, your Your strength will drop a little, and you need to continue killing zombies. Your awakening key has disappeared, but your abilities and hidden attributes are still there..."
"Of course, I'm not necessarily right. If you have a chance, you can verify it..."
After Wang Tao finished speaking, Qu Shilin personally handed Wang Tao a glass of water.
"Thanks."
Wang Tao happened to be thirsty and drank it all in one gulp.
"I have to thank you!"
Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
She couldn't tell whether what Wang Tao said was true or false for the time being. But judging from the expressions of Qi De and others, Qu Shilin thinks it makes sense.
Assuming that what Wang Tao said is correct, then this is very valuable knowledge for her and others!
Even if you can't make them awaken, you can at least let them know how awakening occurs! With the support of Wang Tao's theory, and based on this "law", they might be able to have more awakened people appear!
Wang Tao smiled after hearing Qu Shilin's words.
Everything he said was true, he just expressed it in a slightly different way.
If someone really followed what he said - find a few people with hidden attributes and let them upgrade to the third level peak, with all abilities at full level. Then kill the fourth-level lord and obtain the awakening key. Then some of these people must be able to awaken. After all, the probability of successful awakening for the first time is 50%...
For Wang Tao, telling these things is just a matter of words and he won't lose anything. But if many awakened people appear because of his words, that is definitely what he wants to see. After all, the more awakened humans are, the greater the probability of surviving in the apocalypse.
Although at present, Changhe Base is very safe. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
And now that flying zombies have appeared, it feels like Changhe Base is not as safe as before...
Everyone was digesting Wang Tao's words. It was mainly about this hidden attribute. According to Wang Tao, people with hidden attributes are the seeds of awakening! If there is a way to discover this hidden attribute, it would be great...
At this time, Gu Yun reminded:
"The poisonous fog of the double-tailed scorpion has disappeared."
Everyone immediately came back to their senses.
What Wang Tao said must be studied carefully in the future. And now, we have to check the spoils!
After Wang Tao saw the body of the double-tailed scorpion, he suddenly whispered to Gu Yun:
"Give me the iron beetle."
Wang Tao did not take the iron beetle weapon, but asked Gu Yun to keep it.
Gu Yun immediately waved his hand and took out the iron beetle from a suitcase of his subordinates. Then he asked with some doubts:
"What are you doing..."
"Didn't I say before that it has another powerful function, but the conditions are not enough for the time being. Now... the conditions are enough."
