Chapter 281 The Violent Wave of Corpses
Wang Tao played around with the wild boar tusk knife. Compared with the sharp bone knife, it felt very different. But Wang Tao adapted quickly.
"Not bad!"
Lan Yulian has been watching from the side without saying anything. She has long been used to Wang Tao's magic.
After Wang Tao had seen all the combat power, Lan Yulian hugged Wang Tao's arm again.
"It's too late, it's time to rest..."
"Okay!"
Wang Tao hugged Lan Yulian directly, and the two rolled into bed.
The next day.
When Wang Tao woke up, he found that Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng beside him had already gotten up first.
As for why there was an extra Lu Yingfeng, it was naturally because Lan Yulian called her last night.
"Brother, you made too much noise last night!"
Wang Tao washed up and went out, when Jiang Shixue came out with Lightning in hand. Jiang Shixue complained to Wang Tao with a blushing face.
“Ahem, it’s all Lan Yulian’s problem!”
Wang Tao directly passed the blame, but Jiang Shixue didn’t say much on this matter.
After a brief breakfast, Lan Yulian told Wang Tao that the body of the wild boar monster yesterday had been tested on small animals, and nothing happened. On the contrary, those little animals seem to have evolved to a certain extent - they have become stronger!
"Huh?"
Hearing Lan Yulian's words, Wang Tao's first reaction was to look at Lightning.
He has never found a way to promote Lightning. Could it be that... this is the right way?
Wang Tao tried many methods before, but none of them could make Lightning promoted, and he had not encountered many monsters before, and it was impossible for Lightning to eat zombies...
Wang Tao suddenly thought that when he asked Night Demon to carry the wild boar monster back last night, Lightning barked at him twice.
Wang Tao thought it was Lightning welcoming him back... There must be a welcome, but maybe there is also Lightning who wants to eat the wild boar monster!
But Lightning was too good. After seeing that Wang Tao didn't express anything, he stopped calling.
The more Wang Tao thinks about it, the more reasonable it becomes.
So Wang Tao squatted down and hugged Lightning's dog head.
"Do you want to eat the wild boar from last night?"
Lightning is very understanding of human nature and can understand some words. Even if it doesn't understand, it will judge what is going on from Wang Tao's facial expressions and movements.
After Wang Tao said these words and gestured with his hands, Lightning suddenly made two "woof" sounds and wagged its tail crazily.
Wang Tao felt that this was Lightning's affirmation, and he immediately said to Lan Yulian:
"Yulian, get some wild boar monster meat!"
"Okay!"
A moment later, Lan Yulian came over carrying a large basin of raw meat.
The boar monster is not a zombie. You don’t have to worry about being infected with the zombie virus. You can eat it as long as you make sure that its meat is not poisonous.
Wang Tao put the meat in front of Lightning, and Lightning immediately burst into tears.
“Woof!”
It was very eager, but Wang Tao didn't give an order, so it naturally didn't move its mouth.
“Eat!”
Wang Tao rubbed its head.
After seeing Wang Tao’s permission, Lingning immediately immersed himself in the meal.
Wang Tao stared at the lightning closely to see if there would be any negative status on its head.
It was perfectly safe until Lightning finished the pot of meat.
Then Lightning came to Wang Tao excitedly, got into Wang Tao's arms, and then fell asleep.
"Promoted?"
Seeing Lightning's state, Wang Tao suddenly laughed happily.
Everyone around him has been promoted to the third level, except Lightning, a military dog who is still at the first level. Now I finally found a way to get promoted!
Wang Tao said to Lan Yulian again:
"You keep most of the wild boar meat for me. I'm not sure how much Lightning will eat. Maybe I will need it in the future."
" Okay."
Lan Yulian nodded immediately.
"Lightning is going to be promoted! That's great!"
Jiang Shixue touched Lightning's hair with some relief.
“I really came out at the right time this time.”
The number of monsters is much less than that of zombies. It is usually difficult for Wang Tao to encounter it. If he hadn’t killed the wild boar this time Weird, I don’t know when I want to meet him next time. Even if there is a chance for Lightning to be promoted in the future, it would definitely be good for Lightning to be promoted earlier.
Wang Tao originally planned to return to the military base today. Although there are many zombies at the Bauhinia Base, without the fourth-level zombies, the threat is not too great. On the contrary, at the military base, if Wang Tao is not in charge, it will be a big trouble if the fourth-level zombies in the urban area pass by.
But since Lightning has been promoted, it doesn’t matter if he waits for another day.
Wang Tao contacted the military base, and Yang Changhong told him that everything was fine there. They took Ding Yuqin and others to hunt zombies around, and gained a lot. The zombies in the urban area of Wuyang City are basically silent and have not come out of the urban area.
As for contacting the base that Ding Yuqin and the others were talking about, they are still busy and there has been no progress for the time being. But this is also because many underground lines were damaged and could not be repaired. If these lines could be repaired, we might be able to make contact.
Wang Tao is not disappointed either. It’s best if he can be contacted. If he really can’t be contacted, there is nothing he can do. Wang Tao's expectations were very low.
After finishing communicating with Yang Changhong, Wang Tao had nothing to do, so he was going to take Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng out to hunt zombies.
Last night, Wang Tao used crystal cores to increase their abilities to the third level +10, but their HP has not reached 100,000.
So Wang Tao took them to refresh their health.
There are many zombies outside the base. The third-level lords have not seen them yet, but there are third-level elites, which is enough for them to increase their health.
Wang Tao also observed carefully to see if there was any night devil nest. He saw a lot of night devils last night. There must be a night devil nest here. But unfortunately it was not found.
But starting from noon, Wang Tao felt that there seemed to be more third-level zombies. By the afternoon, Wang Tao had already discovered several third-level lord zombies.
With the help of these third-level lord zombies, both Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng reached the upper limit of 100,000 health.
This speed is definitely very fast, but Wang Tao's face is very serious.
“There’s something not right about these zombies…”
Wang Tao feels that there are more of these zombies, and zombies of level three or above appear more frequently, and these zombies are more aggressive. To save trouble, Wang Tao injected both women with concealing potions. Normally, after injecting the concealment agent, as long as you don't get too close to the zombies, the zombies won't be able to detect you. But now, these zombies are coming from a long way away.
It’s not that they discovered the three people who used the concealment potion, but that they wanted to fight with the three of them!
Wang Taogang has seen zombies fighting with each other! Under normal circumstances, zombies should be relatively harmonious... Could it be that there is also a wild boar monster? Probably not, Wang Tao didn't feel the breath of the fourth level.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Yulian's perception is not that sharp. But Lu Yingfeng also frowned a little.
"I feel something is not right about the zombies..."
"Let's go back first!"
Wang Tao hugged the two women and ran quickly towards the Bauhinia base.
In order to hunt down the third-level lord zombies, they ran far away and could no longer see the base.
Now as we walk closer to the base, Lan Yulian's brows begin to wrinkle.
She often observes the zombies around the base. Although it is unclear how many zombies are surrounding the base, a rough zombie density can still be felt.
We haven’t even arrived at the base yet, but it feels like these zombies are already starting to crowd us! This kind of population density is at least two or three times higher than before! This also means that the number of zombies has increased!
There are already many zombies in Bauhinia City, and the number is still increasing?
When Wang Tao returned to the Bauhinia base with his two girls, the three of them all looked ugly.
Because there are indeed a lot more zombies surrounding the base! And there are third-level elite zombies everywhere, as well as more than a dozen third-level lord zombies!
"Why are there so many zombies..."
"Either they are coming from other places, or the zombies in Bauhinia City have discovered this place and have come here!"
Wang Tao thinks the second possibility is more likely. After all, Bauhinia City is very big, and it is impossible for all the zombies to discover the location of Bauhinia Base. So most of the zombies are distributed in other places. Now maybe they discovered the location of the base somehow and are all rushing here. "What should we do..."
Looking at so many zombies, Lan Yulian was a little panicked.
If these zombies really work together to attack the high wall of the base, the high wall may not be able to stop it...
"Don't worry. I'll go and deal with those third-level lord zombies first. "
Because there were too many zombies here, Wang Tao didn't let anyone look at the door from the inside. Instead, he directly used special vines to grab the protrusions on the high wall, like a spider spinning silk, and pulled them out. The girl was sent to the city.
His vines are now twenty meters long, and there is no problem in climbing over this city wall.
After sending the two girls in, Wang Tao jumped directly into the zombie group and activated the entangled tree roots at the same time.
For Wang Tao now, the weapon wrapped around tree roots is not suitable for fighting zombies or monsters above level 4.
Because the entangled tree roots are of third order. In the battle between level 3 and level 4, the disadvantage is not that big - Wang Tao may be fine after just a few hits, but he will die if he gets entangled in the roots of a tree.
Just like the previous battle with the fourth-level Night Demon, the Night Demon knocked off the entangled tree roots with one claw and drew more than 10,000 blood. But with Wang Tao's current defense, Night Demon could only beat him to a thousand health points.
The attributes added by entangled tree roots are not enough to see in front of the fourth level. Not to mention, if Wang Tao uses Catching Fire to Start a Prairie Fire, he won't be able to use entangled tree roots.
So, the entangled tree roots may become a burden in the battle between Wang Tao and the fourth level.
But that doesn’t mean that entangled tree roots are useless at all. When dealing with a large number of zombies below level four, entangled tree roots are still very useful - it can wrap Wang Tao in all directions, allowing Wang Tao to You will not be attacked by zombies and avoid being infected. Wang Tao can take the opportunity to output with confidence!
Boom!
Wang Tao fell directly into the zombie group. A curved long knife instantly appeared in his hand, and he slashed into the void in front of him.
【-30000】
【-42000】
【-35000】
【-38000】
【-50000】
[...]
A large number of third-level ordinary zombies were directly killed by the shock wave!
No third-level ordinary zombies can catch Wang Tao's move. Even the third-level elite zombies can at most resist two strikes from Wang Tao!
But Wang Tao’s target is not them, but the dozen or so third-level lord zombies.
Wang Tao instantly put away the loot falling around him and appeared in front of one of the third-level lord zombies. Aiming at it is a continuous slash.
【-20606】
【-19394】
This third-level lord zombie only had 40,000 health, and was instantly killed by Wang Tao!
Wang Tao quickly put away the loot, then rushed towards another third-level zombie and executed another consecutive slash.
To deal with zombies that are not as strong as you, but have a decent amount of health, continuous slashing is also very effective.
【-21383】
【-20948】
【-2138】
【-2094】
It’s still two swords and twenty thousand health, but this Only the third-level lord zombie had 50,000 blood, and Wang Tao's continuous slashes could not kill it instantly.
But Wang Tao's long knife has the property of bleeding, and the bleeding damage is about one-tenth of that of each knife. The third-level lord zombie lost more than 4,000 blood in an instant! In the blink of an eye, there were more than 3,000 blood left.
However, this bleeding does not only occur once, but for two seconds, almost one-tenth of the amount is lost every second!
As a result, two more injuries appeared on the head of this third-level lord zombie.
【-2138】
【-1299】
【0/50000】
The blood volume is cleared!
“This knife is a bit cool!”
When Wang Tao took Lan Yulian and the others to refresh their health bars before, he was afraid of killing the zombies at once, so he didn’t use this long knife. . It's the first time to use it now.
This bleed is for two seconds with each cut. The damage of the first bleed is done at the same time as the cut, which means three times of bleeding in two seconds. The damage caused by each bleeding is about one-tenth of the damage caused by this knife. Three times one tenth is equivalent to a 30% increase in damage!
Wang Tao rushed towards other zombies again.
Due to the protection of entangled tree roots, Wang Tao didn't have to worry about zombie attacks below the fourth level and just killed them all the way!
It didn’t take long for Wang Tao to get rid of all the third-order lord zombies. Wang Tao then returned to the base after dealing with some third-level elite zombies.
“Wang Tao!”
Lan Yulian and others are waiting for him on the city wall.
Seeing Wang Tao coming up, Lan Yulian didn't want to say anything more. She quickly handed over the binoculars.
Wang Tao looked in the direction she pointed.
“Grass!”
The thrill of killing these third-order lords instantly disappeared.
I saw a large number of zombies coming to where Lan Yulian was pointing!
"This number... I'm afraid it must be hundreds of thousands, or even millions..."
Lan Yulian spoke with trembling lips.
It is definitely impossible to count how many zombies there are, because it is really impossible to see them all at a glance!
During the previous zombie wave, there were at least over 100,000 zombies around the Bauhinia Base! When Wang Tao took them to hunt zombies today, many more zombies came around the base! And now, there are still zombies coming here!
Especially there are a lot of crazy zombies running around. Crazy zombies can climb walls!
Although the outer wall of the base is not too short, the crazy zombies cannot crawl in under normal circumstances, but if there are piles of zombies below... this really does not give their base any way to survive!
Lan Yulian subconsciously grabbed Wang Tao's hand.
"Wang Tao...what should I do..."
"Don't panic."
Wang Tao's head began to spin crazily.
After all, the Bauhinia base is protected by high walls, and it will definitely be able to prevent zombies in a short period of time.
But the premise is that these crazy zombies, elites, lord zombies, etc. must be cleared away. Crazy zombies can climb walls, and elite lord zombies may have some special abilities that make people hard to guard against, so these must be dealt with first.
As for the ordinary zombies, they pose no threat for the time being, but the biggest threat in the future may come from them. There are too many of these ordinary zombies! Wang Tao really has no doubt that they can knock down the high wall. After all, this base is a semi-finished product. Many places on the high wall were added later and are not as strong as originally designed.
Of course, there is also the biggest hidden threat, which is the fourth-level zombie!
Wang Tao has not seen any level 4 zombies yet, but there are so many zombies here. If there are no level 4 zombies here, Wang Tao would not believe it even if he killed them.
There are also differences in the strength of fourth-level zombies. If fourth-level zombies like flame monsters, wild boar monsters or black-skinned night demons appear, Wang Tao can still deal with them. But if there are level four zombies that he can't deal with, they appear...
"If we can't stop them, we are ready to retreat at any time."
Wang Tao said calmly.
“...Is there really nothing we can do?”
Lan Yulian’s face turned pale.
There are 20,000 people in the Bauhinia Base!
Wang Tao did not answer.
The zombies are inexhaustible, and there is no retreat here at the Bauhinia Base. Even if they can persist, sooner or later the base will be bulldozed by zombies.
Unless the number of these zombies is fixed, you can kill them slowly. Perhaps Wang Tao had other escape routes and led these people to rush out of the base and fight to the death.
Otherwise, staying here will mean slow death - no, judging from the current scale of zombies, this may be acute death!
Lan Yulian obviously knew this, but she was the leader of this base. She didn't want to run away in despair. She wanted to protect these people and the children who were only a few days old, but... she was powerless.
Lan Yulian's eyes were red, and Lu Yingfeng next to her sighed, and then began to stare at Lan Yulian intentionally or unintentionally.
She knew that Lan Yulian was a very independent person, but also a bit soft-hearted. If Lan Yulian wants to stay and live and die with the base, it is not impossible...
Lu Yingfeng doesn't want Lan Yulian to die, and she knows Wang Tao doesn't want to either. If Wang Tao really wants to take Lan Yulian away, and Lan Yulian doesn't agree, she can help knock Lan Yulian out! For Lan Yulian's safety, she is willing to be this evil person.
Wang Tao looked at Lan Yulian's desperate and stubborn little face, and he thought for a while.
"You organize people to kill the zombies first, and I'll contact the military base."
Wang Tao never thought he was smart, nor did he think he was strong enough to be a savior. But if there is a chance, he will definitely not be willing to give up!
Wang Tao quickly contacted the military base. He was going to tell Wei Zhenguo and the others what was going on here to see if they had any ideas.
But before he could speak, Han Rui's excited voice rang out.
"Wang Tao! We have contacted the base to the west! That is a super large survivor base!"
