Chapter 183: Tide of Corpses
Wang Tao is more interested in two of the three abilities mentioned by Yang Changhong.
The first ability is an ability that can continuously increase speed.
Wang Tao has always attached great importance to speed, but unfortunately he does not have any speed abilities.
The charge ability can only be regarded as a displacement ability, and since it is a built-in ability of the suit, it has many restrictions and cannot be used continuously.
Wang Tao feels that Yang Changhong's speed ability is very good, and it is also a continuous ability. And Wang Tao's barrier is also a continuous ability. If he has this acceleration ability, maybe he can try to synthesize it...
The second thing Wang Tao is interested in is Yang Changhong's weapon that makes weapons high. The ability of frequency vibration.
"How did you get the shock? Do you have as fast a hand as I have been single for twenty years? Why don't you show me a demonstration?"
Wang Tao asked curiously.
Hearing Wang Tao's words, Yang Changhong's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Wang Tao.
"...Don't think wrongly, it's not what you think!"
"Ah? Didn't you say that the weapon vibrates at a high frequency? What's wrong with this - oh~"
< br>After Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, he suddenly realized what he was saying.
"...Get out!"
Yang Changhong gave Wang Tao a hammer. She felt that Wang Tao did it on purpose, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Then take a look."
She took out the machete from her waist and held it in her hand.
Buzz~
Suddenly, Wang Tao heard a very slight buzzing sound. He looked at the knife in Yang Changhong's hand, and he didn't seem to feel any vibration visually.
Then he saw Yang Changhong holding a knife and gently waving his hand at the dead tree stump next to him.
Poof——
The tree stump was instantly cut into two pieces!
Wang Tao could see clearly that Yang Changhong did not use any force. He just swung the knife and cut the stump open!
Although Wang Tao can also cut through tree stumps, he relies on pure brute force, which is completely different from Yang Changhong.
“Awesome!”
Wang Tao sighed in admiration.
One thing to say, he likes this ability very much!
If he had this ability, and coupled with his strength, how powerful would a slash be?
"Oh, what is so powerful? It only looks powerful, but in fact there are quite a lot of restrictions... This power consumes a lot of energy, and unlike Xu Xiaojun's shock wave, it has a range of attacks..."
Yang Changhong sighed.
Her ability does high damage, but it also has many shortcomings.
In fact, she prefers the ability to attack from a distance. After all, the closer you are to the zombies, the greater the danger...
Wang Tao asked:
"Then do you want another one? What kind of abilities? I feel that charging, jumping, copper-skinned iron bones, self-healing, etc. are all suitable for you."
Wang Tao talked about a lot of abilities in one breath and listed this ability. The functions are briefly discussed.
Yang Changhong listened with expectation.
These abilities sound great!
But after Wang Tao finished speaking, she suddenly said:
"Ahem, what, is there a long-range attack ability?"
"Long-range attack?"
Wang Tao just made recommendations based on melee capabilities, but he didn't expect Yang Changhong to want long-range ones.
If you really want to talk about long-range attack abilities, you can only use precise shooting, but it is impossible for Wang Tao to give this crystal core. He himself is not enough.
In addition to accurate shooting, Throwing Mastery and Spit Nails are considered long-range. In fact, they should be considered medium-range. As for the shock wave, the attack distance is actually not that far, at least compared to these abilities, it is much closer.
"There are also long-range ones, namely Spit Nail and Throwing Mastery."
Wang Tao introduced these two abilities respectively.
After Yang Changhong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Then can I have the crystal core of the Spit Nail?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised. She thought Yang Changhong would like Throwing Mastery.
Yang Changhong’s consideration is actually very simple. Throwing mastery seems to be very convenient and can be used to throw a lot of things. But the premise is that you have to have a throwable weapon. You can't just pull out a hair and throw it. That's not realistic.
But the spit nail is different. This one stores one-tenth of the food you eat, and then you can spit it out like a hidden weapon!
As for eating, she eats every meal, so there will be no shortage of weapons. Moreover, it is stored in the stomach, so there is no need to hold additional weapons. It will be hard to guard against when taking action!
"Spit Nail? No problem."
Wang Tao put his consciousness into the space backpack, then synthesized an epic Spit Nail crystal core, and then took it out.
[Second-order crystal core·spit nail]
[Quality: Epic (100%)]
[Purity: 100% (Side Effects: None)]
[Spit Nail: Can store one-tenth of the food eaten in the stomach, and then spit it out as a weapon]
"Orange The crystal core!”
Seeing the crystal core in Wang Tao’s hand, Yang Changhong was shocked.
She has survived in the apocalypse for so long, and she has only seen an orange crystal core once, and it was a first-order self-explosion crystal core... As a result, Wang Tao casually took out a second-order epic crystal core? It’s just what she needs!
Since Wang Tao said he would give it away, he would definitely try to give it an outstanding or epic crystal core. If the quality was too low, he would not be able to give it away.
And he happened to have several spit nail crystal cores in his hand, so he used two ordinary ones and one excellent one to synthesize an epic crystal core.
“Do you really want to give this to me?”
Yang Changhong still couldn’t believe it. After all, this crystal core is too precious.
“Of course, I keep my word.”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
The information about the reservoir that Yang Changhong provided him, not to mention the harvest of the third-order monsters, but the second-order zombies, allowed Wang Tao to earn nearly a hundred second-order crystal cores! It was normal for him to give Yang Changhong a small epic crystal core as a favor.
After confirming that Wang Tao was not joking, Yang Changhong immediately took the crystal core in his hand.
After admiring it quietly for a while, she looked up at Wang Tao with very grateful eyes.
Second-order crystal nuclei are inherently precious, and if they are suitable for you, they will be even more precious. She had three crystal cores in her hand before, but unfortunately she didn't know their functions and never dared to use them herself. Later, she exchanged them with Wang Tao.
Now this Spit Nail epic crystal core is worth far more to her than those three crystal cores!
“Thank you!”
Yang Changhong thanked him gratefully.
"Don't be so polite. If you encounter zombies, monsters, etc. that you can't handle in the future, just come to me. If I gain something, I will definitely give you some introduction fees."
Wang Tao patted his chest and said.
Yang Changhong shook her head helplessly. She had only seen this kind of second-level zombies gathering together once so far.
"By the way, do you want this thing? The price is easy to say."
Wang Tao took out a magical stomach pouch.
This magical stomach pouch and the saliva nail crystal core were both exploded by the same zombie.
“A magical stomach pouch that can store food! Want——”
Yang Changhong said yes subconsciously, but he quickly realized it and his face turned bitter.
"But I have nothing to exchange with you...I only have these valuable things..."
She took out some crystal nuclei, all of which were first-order. .
Originally Wang Tao didn't pay much attention to these first-order crystal nuclei, but after seeing a few of them, his eyes suddenly lit up.
[First-order crystal core·Full speed]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side Effect: During the duration, physical strength consumption is doubled)]
[Full Speed: During the duration, the speed is gained It will definitely improve】
This is a power called "Full Speed", which is Yang Changhong's first power, and it is also Wang Tao's favorite power. However, this side effect feels a bit uncomfortable. It should be a long-lasting power, but the existence of this side effect will greatly shorten the battery life...
[First-order crystal core·High-frequency vibration]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side Effect: The energy consumption of using this power increases five times)]
[High-frequency vibration: wrists and fingers can High-frequency vibration】
The second crystal core that caught Wang Tao's attention was Yang Changhong's ability to vibrate at high frequencies.
You can’t actually tell much about this ability just by looking at the introduction, but looking at Yang Changhong’s actual operation, you know that this ability is very strong!
Moreover, this side effect is also very painful, and the mana consumption increases five times!
No wonder Yang Changhong said that this power consumes a lot of energy. It turns out to be a side effect.
Looking at it this way, Yang Changhong is quite unlucky. When using her full speed power, it consumes double the physical strength. Her high-frequency vibration consumes five times the mana when used - oh, by the way, she also has a stealth power. The hidden side effect is that when taking action, it consumes double the physical strength...
Good guy, you really don’t know it until you see it, and you will be shocked when you look at it.
This Yang Changhong may have good combat power, but his staying power is totally lacking! No wonder Wang Tao rarely took action when he saw her on the road. Maintaining the image of being the boss is one thing, but it's probably also because of his lack of staying power. "What, what's wrong?"
Seeing Wang Tao's eyes looking a little strange, Yang Changhong subconsciously touched her face. She felt a little uncomfortable, as if she had been seen out.
"Do you have poor endurance? Are you weak?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
“…You have kidney deficiency!”
Yang Changhong's face darkened.
“I’m serious, these crystal nuclei you fused consume a lot of energy and physical strength.”
“Huh?”
Looking at Wang Tao, Like a joke, Yang Changhong was a little confused. She thought about it carefully and then said:
"When you say that, it seems true - I feel that after I became a superpower, my combat power has increased, but the combat time is still the same as before, isn't it? Very long-lasting. I thought this was a natural weakness of women..."
Looking at Yang Changhong's confused look, Wang Tao smiled and said:
"This is a side effect of your fused crystal core, but it's not a big deal. You should be more careful in the future and don't engage in protracted battles." That’s it. In addition, I want these crystal cores.”
Wang Tao took away several full-speed crystal cores and several high-frequency vibration crystal cores. Then he handed the magical stomach pouch to Yang Changhong.
"You want to exchange with me? Then you won't lose..."
Yang Changhong couldn't believe it.
"Nothing is wrong, just take what you need."
"Okay!"
Since Wang Tao was fine, Yang Changhong immediately took away the magic stomach bag without any ink. After getting up and learning how to operate it from Wang Tao, she put the food she was carrying in, took it out, and put it in again.
“It’s amazing...”
Yang Changhong had a great time.
"Okay, you can take your time and play by yourself. I'll go back to bed first."
Wang Tao waved his hand and was about to leave.
Yang Changhong suddenly said:
"You won the bet before. What is your request? Have you thought about it?"
I heard Yang Changhong mention this bet. After making an appointment, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows and looked her up and down.
"Are you really able to agree to anything?"
"Yes!"
Yang Changhong said before that he was within his ability, but now he directly said yes.
"Okay, then my request..." Looking at Yang Changhong's somewhat nervous face, Wang Tao suddenly smiled, "My request is not appropriate now, let's wait until it is safe to talk about it."
" OK! ”
Yang Changhong nodded heavily.
Wang Tao left the grove.
Looking at Wang Tao's back, Yang Changhong looked very grateful.
Whether these things are precious to Wang Tao or not, they are quite precious to her anyway. She is a person who knows how to repay kindness, but unfortunately she doesn't have anything valuable now, so she can only look for opportunities in the future.
At night, Wang Tao was sleeping soundly in the car when he suddenly felt someone filming him. Wang Tao opened his eyes instantly, green light flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Shixue, who had crawled into his arms, woke up at some point and looked towards the east.
“Brother, there are zombies coming.”
Although Jiang Shixue does not have the ability to perceive, her perception is very keen. If there are powerful zombies or monsters approaching, she can always detect them in advance.
Wang Tao thought it was a night demon. If it was a night demon, he would have to move. After all, Night Demon is a third-level zombie and lives in groups. No matter whether Wang Tao can deal with it or not, others will definitely suffer.
But when he looked at the location pointed by Jiang Shixue, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not night demons, it's just three second-level zombies... No! They are followed by a large group of zombies!"
Wang Tao immediately turned on the car intercom.
"Attention everyone, a large number of zombies are coming from the east! Attention everyone, a large number of zombies are coming from the east!"
Wow——
In the apocalypse, very Few people can sleep soundly, especially in the wild, where everyone wakes up in an instant.
Those people working the night shift were shocked. Didn't they see any zombies? But it was too dark now, and their flashlights couldn't shine far. In addition, these were the words of Wang Tao, a second-level superpower, so they would definitely choose to believe it.
For a while, there was an orderly sound in the temporary camp.
It has to be said that these "apocalyptic herdsmen" are still very skilled in this situation. They quickly packed up and were ready to evacuate at any time.
At this time, the zombies finally entered their sight.
“Damn it! So many!”
Everyone shuddered when they saw the black mass of zombies.
If Wang Tao hadn’t reminded me of this, someone among them would probably have told me here today!
"Retreat!"
Yang Changhong originally thought that with the two second-level superpowers Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun here, he would not run away immediately if another zombie appeared. . But now that she saw so many zombies, she directly called everyone to retreat without saying a word!
It is night, which is when zombies are at their strongest, and also when they are at their weakest, and for people like them, killing ordinary zombies has no benefit. This is definitely the best option to take.
Boom~
The roar of the car instantly attracted the attention of the zombies, and many zombies began to accelerate and run towards the convoy.
Wang Tao felt helpless when he saw this scene.
He originally thought that zombies discovered the convoy and came to attack it. But now it seems that this is not the case, but zombies wandering around at night and accidentally encountered them. This luck is so bad!
He had seen large-scale zombies wandering around at night several times before. The most impressive one was naturally the first time he saw it at the water plant. He still remembers the oppressive feeling of zombies at that time.
The pressure on Wang Tao from this group of zombies is not strong now, but he has no intention of showing off. After all, there are night demons in and out at night. If he is besieged by the night demons, he will be in big trouble.
However, not fighting these ordinary zombies does not mean that he will let go of the two second-level zombies at the front.
"Xiaojun, the two second-level zombies will be handed over to you later."
Wang Tao drove and said to Xu Xiaojun, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
These two zombies are both second-level elite zombies with 10,000 health. With Xu Xiaojun’s current strength, there is no problem in dealing with zombies of this level.
"Okay, brother Wang, don't worry!"
Xu Xiaojun was a little eager to try it. He had just equipped the mechanical right arm and hadn't had time to test its power yet.
Because these zombies blocked the road at the entrance of the village, the convoy could not merge into the main road in time, so it had to drive a certain distance into the wild first, and then find a way to enter the national highway.
These zombies were originally wandering on the main road, and the movement of vehicles attracted them, so some zombies broke away from the team and chased the convoy. The two second-level zombies are also there.
“Quick, quick, quick!”
Yang Changhong directed the convoy to move forward while looking at the zombies behind him. Although she doesn't have night vision, she has been around the area for a long time and is familiar with the surroundings of the village.
Under his command, it didn’t take long for the convoy to successfully merge into the national highway.
But at this time, not only did everyone not relax at all, but their scalps were numb.
Even Wang Tao was a little shocked.
“Let me go, why are there so many zombies!”
He saw that the national highway was densely packed with zombies, much more than he had previously estimated!
“This is a tide of corpses!”
Xu Xiaojun, who was eager to try, also subconsciously shrank his neck.
He couldn't see as widely as Wang Tao, but the range of everyone else's flashlights was full of zombies!
Fortunately, Wang Tao discovered it early, and there are no zombies in front of the road now. If it is discovered a little late, the convoy may be surrounded by zombies!
Seeing that the road ahead was still clear for the time being, Wang Tao immediately said:
"Xiaojun, fight quickly!"
"Yes!"
Wang Tao, who was walking at the end of the convoy Sudden deceleration.
Xu Xiaojun quickly jumped out of the car. He had a mechanical exoskeleton arm in his left hand and a dilapidated giant ax in his right hand.
Then he charged directly and hit the zombies behind him. Many zombies were directly crushed to pieces!
Xu Xiaojun swung his axe, threw out a shock wave, and killed a large number of zombies.
At this time, the two second-level zombies attacked at the same time, but Xu Xiaojun immediately blocked their blow with an axe, and then hit one of the zombies on the head with his mechanical right arm. This second-level zombie was knocked unconscious!
Xu Xiaojun hit him twice more and chopped with an axe.
Pfft!
The first level 2 zombie dies.
Wang Tao’s eyes lit up in the distance.
"This robotic arm works! It can easily knock out zombies..."
Xu Xiaojun used his robotic arm to resist the attack while digging out the zombie crystal core. Then he followed the same pattern, knocked the second zombie unconscious, and quickly killed it.
After getting the crystal core, Xu Xiaojun threw out a shock wave, crushing all the surrounding zombies, and then charged next to Wang Tao's off-road vehicle. He rushed to the side of the off-road vehicle in an instant.
Open the door, get in the car, and do it in one go. The car accelerated suddenly and chased the convoy in front.
