Chapter 274 Improving Strength
"...That's probably it."
Han Rui explained the "contact information" and its origin to Wang Tao carefully.
To put it simply, when they were on the road, they encountered a team of soldiers, but there were only three people left in this team of soldiers, and they were all seriously injured and could not be saved. Before they died, they told Wei Zhenguo a way to contact the base and asked them to go to the base.
The reason why this contact information cannot be false is because this team has contacted the other party before, but unfortunately they could not persist until...
As for the specific operation method of this contact method, communication needs to be carried out through the equipment of the military base and some lines buried underground.
But this does not mean that you can contact us directly if you have these things. Specifically, you need various debugging equipment, inputting secret keys, etc., which is very complicated.
Of course, the most important thing is that the equipment and lines are not damaged!
So if Wang Tao wants to contact that base now, he has to see if there are any problems with the equipment and lines.
The equipment here is basically fine, but there is a problem with the wiring. Many lines were broken before, and Wang Tao didn't repair them. Maybe he should try to repair them now.
If there is no way to repair it, then you can only find other alternatives, such as other military bases.
He Jijun used the equipment here to perform a self-check. The places where underground cables are damaged are basically not in military bases, but in other places, making repairs very troublesome. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be repaired.
There are some lines that are not broken, but it is difficult to contact people on these lines. The only people who were contacted twice were the survivor base that was destroyed before and Ding Yuqin.
After understanding this, Wang Tao was going to try to contact that base. If he knew the other party's specific location, then he might be able to fly there!
“Next we will find a way to repair these lines... Lao He, please do it, after all, I don’t know anything about this.”
Wang Tao said to everyone.
“Okay!”
He Jijun nodded.
He is naturally also very interested in the base to the west. If given the opportunity, he would definitely hope to live in a large survivor base.
Han Rui wrote down the specific steps, secret keys and passwords and gave them to He Jijun.
As for Han Rui and the others, they naturally wanted to help, but before that, Wang Tao had to improve their strength. After all, they are still second-level superpowers, so they are too weak.
At noon, Ding Yuqin and others made several large pots of lunch. Although the appearance is not very good, the quantity is sufficient.
For these new survivors, they have not seen so much delicious food for a long time, and they all eat while crying.
Li Qiuyu and Jiang Shixue also came out. Their eyes were red, and they had obviously cried.
Ding Yuqin and Han Rui quickly pulled Jiang Shixue over, and then several people bowed to Jiang Shixue at the same time.
Wang Tao is their savior, and so is Jiang Shixue.
Jiang Shixue was a little embarrassed by such a big battle, and looked at Wang Tao as if asking for help.
Wang Tao smiled and said:
"We are all on our own, so there is no need to be too polite, otherwise it will make you look unfamiliar. Since we can still get together, then just help each other in the future!"
“Okay!”
Everyone smiled and nodded.
Li Qiuyu came to Wang Tao and said very solemnly:
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome." Wang Tao nodded first, then raised his eyebrows and whispered. "Just be prepared to be a cow or a horse to repay me."
"..."
Li Qiuyu rolled his eyes at Wang Tao, but didn't say much.
After dinner, Wang Tao called Ding Yuqin and Wei Zhenguo together.
“I’m going to improve your strength!”
Hearing this, everyone was a little excited.
"Would it be too much trouble for you? We are not in a hurry!"
Ding Yuqin spoke quickly.
"It is indeed a bit troublesome. After all, we have used a lot of crystal nuclei before, so let's upgrade you to the early stage of the third level first."
Wang Tao thought for a while.
If nothing else, let’s just say that in the environment of Wuyang City, it is really dangerous not to have a third-level strength. Even level three is not safe, after all there are level four zombies!
If Wang Tao had enough crystal cores in his hand, he would definitely want to upgrade them to the third level with full powers. However, he did not have enough crystal cores in his hand, so he could only upgrade them to the early stage of the third level first, and then follow up. Super powers were gradually added.
"???"
But when everyone heard this, they all had questions in their heads.
After all, there are so many of them, and they have all been promoted to the third level? How many crystal nuclei are needed!
A few people suddenly remembered that Wang Tao saved them in the morning and dealt with the three third-level lord zombies, and quickly eliminated the zombies - so Wang Tao killed the third-level lord zombies. It's very simple. He has a large number of third-level promotion crystal cores in his hand, which seems... not surprising?
"Wang Tao, are you already at level four?"
Xiang Hongbin asked suspiciously, leaning on a cane.
Others also looked at Wang Tao.
Although superpowers can sense each other and roughly feel what level the other person is, it is not 100% applicable.
For example, some people are good at concealing their aura, or they have been promoted for a long time, and they can control their aura well, or there is a big gap between the two... these are all impossible to sense.
They cannot perceive Wang Tao's specific strength, so it is normal to have this guess.
"That's not true. It's too difficult to advance to the fourth level. This is completely different from the third level. I'll tell you more in detail later."
Wang Tao shook his head.
Huh——
After hearing Wang Tao’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Tao is really at level 4, it will definitely be a good thing, but it will also give them a strong sense of frustration. After all, they are only at level 2...
But Wang Tao added.
"I can only start to advance to the fourth level tomorrow."
"..."
Everyone was confused when Wang Tao didn't look like he was joking.
No, is it really level four?
Ding Yuqin and Han Rui grabbed Wang Tao's hand at the same time, with a little pride on their faces. After all, this was their man.
Wei Zhenguo, who was a little shocked, asked again:
"What about the others? Including that old He, what are their strengths?"
"They are all third-level, and they are The pinnacle of the third level. "
"..."
"Good guy, no wonder you said I couldn't beat Lao He! You dug a hole for me!"
Wei Zhenguo immediately pretended to be furious.
"Haha, you agreed to spar with Lao He, and he agreed. You can't go back on your word! But if you fight him now, you are definitely looking for abuse. Wait until you reach the third level. Let's go again later. Although we are still looking for abuse, we won't lose too badly."
"..."
Wei Zhenguo feels that Wang Tao is too bad, and he is still calculating at this time. He is an old comrade.
However, he did not refuse. After all, competing with strong people can also improve your strength. Others want this opportunity but can't get it!
Wang Tao smiled and took out some crystal nuclei, all of which were red and orange.
Although they knew that Wang Tao was very strong and Wang Tao had given them many high-quality crystal cores before, they were still a little shocked to see so many second-order crystal cores and even third-order promotion cores.
Wang Tao said to several people:
"What kind of crystal nuclei did you fuse when you were in the second level? If they are ordinary crystal nuclei, you can peel them off and fuse them again. My second level here There are quite a lot of second-order crystal nuclei. ”
Wang Tao has a lot of second-order peeling crystal nuclei in his hands, which are basically useless now, so it’s just for them.
"Can it be peeled off?"
Ding Yuqin and others were a little curious. They had never heard that the fused superpowers could be exchanged.
“This is the peeled crystal core.”
Wang Tao took out the peeled crystal core and introduced it to them. Then I started asking them one by one to match them with more suitable abilities. The stripping of the stripping, the fusion of the new abilities.
"Wang Tao, I don't want it anymore. I'm just a cripple. It would be a waste if you give it to me..."
Xiang Hongbin looked at the crystal core with envy, but waved his hand.
He is disabled and his combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. If you use a gun, you can also provide remote support. If he doesn't use a gun, he is one of the two biggest losers in the team, the other being Li Qiuyu.
But both Xiang Hongbin and Li Qiuyu are special.
Xiang Hongbin's injury was for everyone; Li Qiuyu was everyone's savior when her daughter Jiang Shixue and Wang Tao lured away the black fog monster together, leading to uncertainty about life and death.
So no matter from their previous relationship or their contribution to everyone, everyone has no reason to give up on them, but they have both been promoted to the second level.
But one of them is disabled, and neither of them has fought much... They are both weak in combat ability.
Usually, they try to use their resources to other members of the team, and if there are any leftovers, they use them themselves.
So until now, Wei Zhenguo and the others all have the second-level upper limit of 29,999 blood, but Xiang Hongbin only has over 20,000 blood, and Li Qiuyu only has less than 10,000... So to a certain extent, Said, they are both dragsters.
Xiang Hongbin’s words made Ding Yuqin and the others a little uncomfortable. After all, Xiang Hongbin’s injuries were for them.
“I don’t want it either. I have no fighting ability. It would be a waste to give it to me...”
Li Qiuyu also whispered beside Wang Tao.
She is self-aware, and she knows that these things bring higher benefits to others than herself.
When Wang Tao saw the two of them like this, he immediately smiled.
He came to Xiang Hongbin first and patted him on the shoulder.
“I won’t say anything else, but I will say one thing. After a successful promotion, the impurities in the body will be directly reduced by half! You were infected with the zombie virus before, and although you used inhibitors to save your life, There are a lot of impurities accumulated in your body. If you don't find a way to remove the impurities from your body, you will become a zombie sooner or later. Therefore, your promotion is not only to improve your strength, but also to prevent you from becoming a zombie!"
"..." Wang Tao's words made Xiang Hongbin somewhat silent.
If he can live, he wants to live too!
But...since he became disabled, although he acted very open-minded, in fact he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, he used to be the number one combat force in Shuize Base, but now he is a waste. Not many people can accept this sense of gap. If he hadn't been stronger, he might have committed suicide...
So now he is somewhat giving up on himself. Of course, he also didn't want Wang Tao to waste the crystal core.
Seeing that he was silent, Wang Tao had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Actually, I feel that your disability is not without remedies..."
Xiang Hongbin suddenly raised his head.
But before he could speak, Wei Zhenguo next to him immediately spoke:
"What method!"
"Wait a moment."
A moment later, Wang Tao walked in with a huge robotic arm.
“This is Xiaojun’s robotic arm, his third hand.”
Wang Tao demonstrated the operation of this robotic arm in front of several people. Xu Xiaojun didn't go out to fight today, so he didn't wear this equipment.
This was the first time for Ding Yuqin and the others to see this kind of mechanical arm, and they were all surprised, and Wei Zhenguo's eyes even shone. If Xiang Hongbin had this kind of equipment, wouldn't he be able to regain some of his combat effectiveness?
Xiang Hongbin gently stroked these robotic arms with his good hand, his lips trembling a little.
“Besides us, there are other survivors who are also working hard to survive. Among them are researchers and scientists. This thing was made by them. If you can have a set of similar equipment, maybe It will restore a lot of combat effectiveness. Do you still think you want to advance to the third level?"
"Yes!"
Xiang Hongbin gritted his teeth.
He had been in despair before, but now he saw hope.
Wang Tao suddenly laughed.
“I won’t give you this robotic arm. After all, it is actually controlled by hands, so it is inconvenient for you to operate. But don’t worry, I will definitely get you the right equipment! And we There is also a Taiwanese military 3D printer. I will look back and see if I can get you a prosthetic limb first. "
"Thank you!"
Xiang Hongbin's eyes were a little red.
"As I said, we are all our own people!"
Wang Tao patted him on the shoulder, then came to Li Qiuyu and knocked her head directly.
"As for you...-there is so much nonsense, just use it if you are asked to use it."
"..."
Li Qiuyu felt a strong sense of differential treatment. But she didn't dare to resist Wang Tao, so she could only say aggrievedly.
Ding Yuqin and Han Rui looked a little funny next to them. They knew Wang Tao's character. Wang Tao has always been generous to his own people. If he doesn't, forget it. If he does, he is definitely not stingy. You have to ask for it even if you don’t want it. After all, this is the end of the world and there is no time for pretentiousness.
It took some time, except for Xiang Hongbin and Li Qiuyu, everyone else reached the second level of peak strength.
"I feel like I can advance to the third level..."
"Me too, I can advance to the third level at any time!"
Everyone is a little excited.
This is the third level!
If it weren't for this zombie wave, they would have planned to hunt down the third-level zombies and pool all the team's resources to turn Wei Zhenguo into a third-level superpower. As for the others, they never thought that they could reach the third level!
Unexpectedly, after they met Wang Tao, they would be promoted to the third level in less than a day!
"Since you can all be promoted, let's start tonight. Promotion will take 24 hours. At this time tomorrow, you will be third-level superpowers."
"Okay!"
Several people nodded.
Wang Tao looked at Xiang Hongbin and Li Qiuyu again.
"As for you two...you two are still a little bit weak. You have to kill zombies to get promoted. It just so happened that flying a plane today attracted a lot of zombies, all outside the base. I will take you out to kill them now. Zombies, please improve your strength.”
“Okay!”
Nod to Hong Bin. He has hope now and is more motivated.
"Okay~"
Li Qiuyu was a little scared, but she also knew that Wang Tao would protect her.
Wang Tao took Xiang Hongbin and Li Qiuyu out, along with Jiang Shixue.
Jiang Shixue attracted zombies, and Wang Tao beat them half to death, and then asked Li Qiuyu and Xiang Hongbin to do the finishing touches.
There are many third-level elite zombies here. For them, it was a leapfrog kill. Their health volume quickly reached 29,999.
"Okay, let's go back."
Wang Tao waved.
"Tsk, tsk, I'm so lucky to be able to fight zombies with you! We owe you more and more, and we won't be able to repay you in the future!"
Xiang Hong Bin sighed a little.
Before, it was very troublesome for them to kill a third-level elite zombie. He never thought that he could blow the head of a third-level elite zombie so easily!
"Haha! Then improve your strength and kill more zombies as a reward for me, because I hate zombies."
Wang Tao laughed.
Li Qiuyu next to her was whispering to Jiang Shixue:
"Xiaoxue, it turns out you are so strong!"
"Brother Wang Tao is the strong one, my strength is average. ”
Jiang Shixue said without thinking.
“…”
Looking at Jiang Shixue’s expression, Li Qiuyu always felt that something had happened between Jiang Shixue and Wang Tao before...
If so, then she How embarrassing!
Although she has never had anything happen to Wang Tao, they are already in this situation. It would not be a surprise if something happens...
No, I have to do some subtlety at night!
Li Qiuyu thought with some worry.
……
Evening.
He Jijun suddenly received a piece of good news.
A line buried underground in the military base was damaged. It was not too far from the military base. After he repaired it, he actually contacted someone!
Wang Tao came over curiously.
Amid a burst of sizzling sounds, there was indeed a sound coming from over there.
"Zizi...Mr. Wang Tao, can you receive my message...Zizi..."
"Huh?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised. The voice in the speaker was unfamiliar to him, but he could guess that it should be someone from Lan Yulian's side.
After all, there are only so many people who know him. Ding Yuqin and the others have already taken over, and only Lan Yulian and the others are left.
“I am Wang Tao.”
Wang Tao spoke.
“Ah! It’s all figured out!”
The other party was a little surprised, and then said quickly:
"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment, we are from the Bauhinia Base, and I will ask our leader to talk to you!"
As expected, it was them.
After a while, Lan Yulian’s voice sounded.
"Wang Tao, are you!"
"It's me."
"We finally made contact! There are indeed some lines under this base, but most of them are damaged. I only found someone to repair one, but I didn't expect that we were actually contacted!"
Lan Yulian’s voice was a little surprising.
"How is the situation over there?"
"There is no problem for the time being, but there are a lot of zombies coming around the base, and the zombie tide is getting bigger and bigger..."< br>
Wang Tao thought for a while and said:
"I'll go there again in two days. Please pay more attention to your safety. Keep in touch."
"Okay!"
Meet Lan again Yulian talked for a while, and Wang Tao ended the call.
He looked at his attribute panel, and the countdown for the fusion of the little flames was about to end.
Tonight, he can try to wake up!
