Chapter 365: Massive Harvest
Wang Tao still didn’t see what Wen Guocheng said about the zombie wave.
But it’s not a big problem. Anyway, he has no plans to hunt down the fifth-level lord zombie now. Without the zombie tide, it can save some trouble.
Wang Tao drove directly there according to the route given by Fu Yu. That place was a forest on an unnamed hill, not too far from the temporary camp. Half an hour later, Wang Tao saw the garden.
Far away, Wang Tao saw some sporadic red dots halfway up the mountain.
"...So many?"
Wang Tao was a little confused.
Before, Fu Yu said that there was a large area of snake fruit here. He thought that Fu Yu was using an exaggerated rhetorical technique. Wang Tao didn't care much about such details. Anyway, as long as there was one, it would be fine. It turned out to be a really big piece!
These red fruits grow on some dwarf trees. Although the colors are bright, because the fruits are too small and there are too many, the dwarf trees also look very ordinary, so people instinctively think that they are ordinary. of wild fruits.
Xiao Hei next to Wang Tao hissed and spit out the snake letter, feeling a little excited.
However, after getting closer and seeing clearly the specific properties of these fruits and the surrounding situation, Wang Tao frowned again.
There are indeed many of these [Strange Snake Fruits], but many of them are not ripe.
[Strange snake fruit (immature): bitter taste, non-toxic and harmless, can satisfy hunger after eating]
Immature snake fruit is a little green and astringent, not as good as mature ones The red color. It has no special effects after eating, but it also has no toxins. It can be regarded as a wild fruit that can fill the stomach.
According to normal people's thinking, there is a high probability that they will wait until the fruit is ripe to eat it. However, if you eat the strange snake fruit after it is ripe, your life may be in danger... This snake fruit is a bit of a trap.
In addition to snake fruit, there are many zombies here. These zombies are all within the range of the snake fruit. They seem to want to eat the fruit too?
Wang Tao frowned, can zombies eat this thing?
But soon, he found the reason - it was not zombies eating the fruit, but there were many ordinary snakes hidden here, and the zombies came to eat the snakes!
Wang Tao did not go over immediately. He asked He Jijun to drive around and make sure he saw no other dangers before he came to the snake fruit growing range.
“Ho ho…”
As soon as Wang Tao and others appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of these zombies.
They are all ordinary third- and fourth-level zombies, which may be difficult for Wen Guocheng and others to deal with, but naturally there is no difficulty for Wang Tao and others.
It took a while, but all the zombies fell under the tree.
Seeing these dead zombies, Wang Tao suddenly raised his eyebrows.
These zombies seem to be used as fertilizer to nourish the snake fruit trees!
Zombie viruses cannot be transmitted to plants, and after the zombies die, the zombie viruses will completely disappear within seven days.
If these zombies can really nourish the snake fruit tree, then the snake fruit will feed the snakes, and the snakes will attract the zombies, and the cycle repeats... Good guy, the biological chain is closed!
If this is really possible, Wang Tao thinks he can keep cultivating these snake fruits!
But there is a problem, that is, the snake fruit tree cannot kill zombies, and ordinary snakes cannot deal with zombies. Someone or something has to kill the zombies...
Leave Xiao Hei here? No, no!
Wang Tao shook his head quickly.
Although Xiao Hei is relatively strong in the base, looking at the entire apocalyptic wilderness is completely inadequate. Wang Tao is not at ease if he is placed here.
How about transplanting the snake fruit tree into the base? Although there is a lack of zombie fertilizer, these snake fruit trees have not had zombie fertilizer before, so they can still grow!
Wang Tao feels that the method of transplantation is still feasible.
However, he did not take action without permission, because he had heard before that someone found edible wild fruits in the wild and wanted to transplant them into the base, but they died after they were transplanted... Professional matters should be left to others. For professionals, Wang Tao doesn’t know much about this aspect, so I’d better go back and ask Qu Shilin to see if their research institute has any relevant experience...
Of course, now is not the time to think about this. Wang Tao called on everyone to start picking ripe fruits.
Half an hour later, Wang Tao picked all the ripe fruits on the snake fruit tree, more than a thousand in total! And there are at least thousands of unripe fruits!
Seeing such a large number, Wang Tao was very happy at first, and then frowned a little.
Although the concept of "the smaller the quantity, the more precious" is not necessarily accurate, it is generally applicable.
[Strange Snake Fruit] How small is the "small probability" mentioned above? You have to try it to find out...
Xiao Hei couldn't wait any longer and kept lying on Wang Tao's body, squirming and acting coquettishly. Wang Tao smiled and touched Xiao Hei's head, and then said:
"Eat it, let me see what effect it has!"
After giving the order, Xiao Hei, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately He bit into a red snake fruit and swallowed it.
Wang Tao could clearly feel that Xiao Hei's body felt slightly hot after eating the snake fruit. Then I saw that its blood volume increased by 100 points.
Wang Tao waited for a while, and Xiao Hei showed no other reaction except an increase in blood volume.
This made Wang Tao a little disappointed. Although he also knew that the possibility of Xiao Hei awakening all at once was very small, he still had some expectations. And this one adds 100 HP, which is a bit too little...
“Keep eating!”
Wang Tao touched Xiao Hei’s head, and it immediately ate the second one .
More than ten minutes later, when Xiao Hei ate 100 snake fruits and found no other changes except an increase of 10,000 blood, Wang Tao was somewhat speechless. This "small probability" of awakening is indeed small enough! There is not even a 1% chance of being the opponent...
At this time, Xiao Hei no longer has the strong desire to eat as before. Wang Tao vaguely felt that it seemed to eat up to 100 pills in a short period of time. If you take it again, it will have no effect. You have to wait a day or a few days before taking it again.
Since Xiao Hei stopped eating, Wang Tao collected all the snake fruits. There were four snakes at home and he could feed them.
Wang Tao also has a general understanding of the effects of this [Strange Snake Fruit].
This thing is very similar to the [Tree Essence] in his hand.
Tree essence will increase the blood volume by 100 and the mana volume by 100 for each portion consumed. A maximum of ten portions can be used at one time, and then it will fall into a cooling period. The cooling time is not fixed and varies from person to person. different.
Snake Fruit only increases blood volume without adding blue, but it has more functionality. However, it has serious side effects when used by humans and is not suitable for human use.
Although tree essence does not have as many functions as snake fruit, it does not have so many restrictions and can be used by both humans and animals. Wang Tao and the others are still using it now - after 100,000 blood, tree essence cannot provide the upper limit of blood volume, but the blue amount It can still continue to increase, so their mana has been slowly increasing...
But anyway, this [Strange Snake Fruit] is a good thing for snakes, and it is difficult to obtain. It's very low, you don't have to defeat monsters or anything, you can just pick it up on the mountain...
"Let's go. I hope no one else can find this place."
After making sure there is nothing missing , Wang Tao left directly.
It's not that Wang Tao doesn't want to share it, but it's something that people can't eat. If it is seriously poisoned, it will be fatal.
However, such wilderness areas are generally rarely explored by people, and survivors still like to explore cities. Although it has been almost a year since the end of the world, there are still a lot of supplies in the city, so the probability of being discovered in such a place is relatively low.
It is ten o'clock in the morning. Wang Tao looked at the map. If they returned to the city now, at the speed of their car, they would definitely be able to reach it before evening.
The car turned a corner and headed towards the Changhe Base.
In the car, Wang Tao and others felt a lot more relaxed. After all, they were going home. After staying in the Night Devil's lair for several days, they all missed their big bed. On the way back, Wang Tao took the opportunity to sort out what he had gained from this trip.
Compared with the last time, Wang Tao thinks that the harvest this time is more.
Wang Tao’s main mission goal, high-level special energy, has been saved enough, and has even been exceeded.
He was planning to save a high-level special energy before, which would give him a two-thirds chance of awakening a second time, but now this probability can easily reach more than 89%!
Wang Tao's luck has always been good, so there should be no problem with this probability. If he can still fail with such a high probability, it can only be said that he has no chance of a second awakening...
In addition to high-level special energy, he also received many awakening keys. There are a total of 120 awakening keys in his body now!
100 awakening keys can be combined to form an advanced entity awakening key!
But Wang Tao is not in a hurry for the time being. The secret key cannot escape from him anyway. He can use it later when needed.
Then there are the physical awakening keys. Wang Tao now has a total of 50 physical awakening keys in his hand. Yes, 50 pieces!
This means that Wang Tao can give 50 people a chance to awaken!
Of course, it is not that simple to awaken, and other conditions must be met.
But no matter what, so many entity awakening keys are basically enough for someone to awaken for the first time.
But this is only a 50% probability, which is a bit uncomfortable. It would be nice if the probability could be increased...
In addition, Wang Tao killed so many lords, and he also gained a lot of awakening energy. , in order not to waste it, he naturally used it to upgrade the upper limit of awakening energy.
His current awakening energy limit has reached 2000, which is a blessing for him with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Of course, the numbers are secondary. The main reason is that after the upper limit is increased, his awakening battery life has been greatly improved, and he can use Sparkling Fire to start a prairie fire in 3 minutes and 20 seconds!
At the same level, except for the giant zombies with high blood volume, Wang Tao didn’t know anyone or monster who could withstand his Sparks of Fire for more than three minutes.
As for whether he could defeat giant zombies of the same level with high blood volume while fully awakened, Wang Tao felt that it was still not possible. It's not that he's not strong enough, but it's because the rest of the giant zombie is so hard that it won't lose any blood at all, so it can only hit the head. And the giant zombie is too big, with the size of a skyscraper, he can't hit it at all...even his fireball is not effective.
Wang Tao's long-range attack ability is not as good as his own melee, and it is not that far away...
If Wang Tao can learn some other long-range attack abilities, or can fly into the sky, then with his After three minutes of awakening, it should be possible to hunt giant zombies dozens of meters high...
Shaking his head, Wang Tao looked at the next harvest, the heart of the Night Demon.
He killed a large number of night demon lords this time, not only fourth-level ones, but also fifth-level ones.
The fourth-level Night Demon Heart is [Night Demon Type I], and he currently has 70 of them in his hand! There are also 5 of the fifth-level [Night Demon Type II]!
The price of the Night Demon Heart is very expensive now. Wang Tao plans to sell all Type I when he goes back. This thing is of little help to him, and it is useless to keep it in his hands.
As for type II, he naturally keeps it for himself, which is useful to him. And I plan to use crystal cores to increase Type II's blood volume to full value. If I could get five [Night Demon Type II] with 200,000 health...it would be cool just thinking about it.
Finally, there are various crystal nuclei, materials, equipment drawings and so on.
These things are completely enough for our own people. After going back this time, many people should be able to wake up.
Wang Tao directly took out an equipment drawing and started making it.
“Woof!”
But at this time, Lightning barked a little hastily.
“What’s wrong?”
Wang Tao looked in the direction Lightning was looking at, and there was nothing in the distance.
"Woof!"
"Pay attention!"
Wang Tao immediately reminded him.
Lightning's ears are much more sensitive than humans, and it can hear sounds far away. There must be something going on, otherwise Lightning wouldn't be able to scream randomly.
After a while, Wang Tao suddenly moved his ears, and several other people also looked over.
I saw small black dots appearing on the ground in the distance. If you look closely, you will see that these little wriggling black dots are actually hideous human heads!
“Tide of corpses!”
Wang Tao said he hadn’t seen a tide of corpses before, but he saw it on the way home...
And the number... felt bigger than Wen Guocheng and the others said even more!
Looking at the tide of corpses in the distance, Wang Tao felt like he was facing thousands of troops.
And regardless of the large number, Wang Tao discovered that there were a large number of fifth-level zombies in this group of zombies!
Although they haven't seen the fifth-level lord yet, they can't deal with so many fifth-level elites.
“Go!”
The car suddenly turned and headed in the opposite direction.
Not long after leaving, I discovered another group of zombies ahead! There are also a large number of fifth-level zombies.
"We are surrounded - no, we should have just walked into the place where they met, damn! What luck..."
Such a large number of corpses want to surround his car accurately, Obviously it's impossible. If zombies really had this ability, they humans would be finished long ago.
So probably when the two groups of corpses met, he happened to walk into the middle.
Now you can only go left and right. But going right will get further and further away from the base, so you can only go left.
“There is no other way but to spend money to eliminate the disaster—activate the violent mode of the crystal energy car!”
After some operations, He Jijun pressed the button.
Boom——
Several blue flames suddenly shot out from the rear of the crystal energy vehicle, its speed increased instantly, and then it sprinted out like an arrow from a string.
“F*ck!”
In the car, feeling the powerful push on his back, Wang Tao exclaimed. Fortunately, he had just fastened his seat belt, otherwise he would probably have flown out - no cars in the apocalypse have seat belts, only this car does. Seat belts really work!
The scenery in front of him was receding rapidly, and Wang Tao felt like he was riding a rocket. The car was very stable, with only a slight bump. The zombies that were already approaching were directly smashed into pieces, and the car windows were covered with residual limbs and flesh.
I don’t know how many minutes it lasted. When the car slowly stopped due to exhaustion of energy, there was no zombie behind it.
“Huh——”
Everyone took a breath.
Don’t mention it, this feeling is very exciting and refreshing!
However, the shortcomings of violent mode are also obvious-it is almost impossible to turn after it is activated, and there is no way to adjust the speed. Fortunately, this section of the road is relatively flat and there are no obstacles, otherwise it would be troublesome...
Wang Tao turned around and planned to report it to Qu Shilin to see if he could improve it.
He Jijun put on a fourth-order epic crystal core again, and after determining the direction, he headed towards the Changhe base.
