Chapter 386: Encountering the Giant Eagle Again
Pfft——
Wang Tao struck with his sword, and a ferocious head exploded like a watermelon.
“I can’t stand it anymore, let’s go!”
Wang Tao said hello, turned around and ran away.
Buzz~
Blue flames spurted out from the back of the power armor, and it jumped forward a lot in an instant.
The others immediately followed Wang Tao and retreated.
The tide of corpses at this time is endless, and they will be surrounded if they don't move away. If surrounded, Wang Tao is not sure whether he can rush out.
“It’s so scary!”
He complained to Hongbin.
He had seen many corpse tides when he was in Wuyang Province before, but because he was disabled before and basically could not participate in battles, he knew that the zombie tides were terrifying, but how terrifying they were, he He can only guess by looking at other people, he himself can't tell clearly.
Now, he finally understands the horror of the zombie tide - even if the zombies stand still and let him kill them, he will not be able to kill them all before his physical strength is exhausted!
Although he can use crystal nuclei to provide the energy his body needs, this does not mean that he will never be tired. His physical strength, spirit, and prosthetic body also have upper limits. This upper limit may be higher than most people, but it is definitely not as high as the zombie tide!
Not to mention that these zombies did not just stand and let him kill, but attacked him tirelessly, wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Even if his defense is high, he cannot relax and must always tense up...
This is the corpse tide!
The zombie tide is unstoppable by humans, at least not now.
No wonder they say that there are only two solutions to the zombie tide, one is to defend, and the other is to run faster than the zombie tide!
"It's really scary..."
Wang Tao nodded.
He felt that if he stayed for another 10 seconds, he would have to abandon his power armor and use his full strength. But even with all his strength, he couldn't hold on for long.
Of course, his purpose is to attract zombies, not to destroy them. There are no lord zombies here, so he can't be tough with the zombies, it's almost enough.
The crystal energy car has started and the door is open.
Several people rushed over and jumped into the car. Wang Tao is a bit more troublesome. He needs to put the power armor into the carriage first, then leave the power armor and jump into the crystal energy car.
When Wang Tao was the last one to enter the crystal energy car, Han Rui, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately pressed the car's violent button.
Buzz——
The crystal energy car spurted out blue flames, launched into action, and sprinted hundreds of meters in an instant. The zombies that were flying almost close to the ground and were about to surround them were directly smashed into pieces.
“Oh no, I haven’t fastened my seat belt yet!”
Wang Tao grabbed the seat tightly, exposing the veins on his arms.
Han Rui obviously didn't hear Wang Tao's words. She held the steering wheel tightly and tried to keep the car driving in a straight line.
When they came, they had already planned their retreat route, which was to leave in violent mode.
Because the road here is very flat and there are not many obstacles, it is very suitable for the crystal energy car to activate the violent mode.
But just because there weren't many obstacles didn't mean there weren't any at all. Han Rui had to control the steering wheel to avoid deviating from the direction.
Otherwise, with the speed of the crystal energy car in violent mode, there would have been a car accident, and everyone except Wang Tao would have been wiped out...
I don’t know how long I sprinted until I could no longer see. After seeing the group of corpses behind him, Han Rui turned off the violent mode.
"Huh——"
Everyone took a big breath.
Driving too fast is also a burden for them, especially because the road is very bumpy, and people with poor health will probably faint...
Wang Tao quickly looked at Qu Shilin.
Fortunately, although her face was pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she did not faint.
"Are you okay?"
Wang Tao patted Qu Shilin on the shoulder and asked.
"I...well——"
Qu Shilin suddenly covered her mouth.
Wang Tao opened the car door immediately with quick eyes and hands, and then helped Qu Shilin out of the car door.
Vomiting——
Qu Shilin vomited outside the car, as if she wanted to vomit out her stomach.
Wang Tao patted her back gently, and then handed her a bottle of water.
"Thank you, thank you..."
After vomiting, Qu Shilin felt much better. She took the water and thanked Wang Tao.
"You're not good at this. You get motion sickness in a car!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Gulu gulu - spit -"
Qu Shilin rinsed her mouth and closed the door, then looked at Wang Tao with a look of resentment.
"Can you tell me when you are accelerating so that I can be mentally prepared..."
Wang Tao really wanted to say that the car accelerated even before he could sit firmly, how could he care about you? After all, this is not an outing, this is an escape.
But when he was about to say the words, Wang Tao suddenly changed the subject.
"Ahem, remind you, you built this car, you should know better than us."
"..."
Qu Shilin opened her mouth , and then spoke with a look of constipation.
"There's something wrong with this car, especially the violent mode. The acceleration is so uneven that most people can't handle it... It's my problem. I'll go back and improve it!"
Although she is weak, what can she say? He is also a third-level superpower. Even she couldn't stand this rage mode, let alone anyone else. This is obviously a problem with her design and manufacturing, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Although Qu Shilin was embarrassed, she still generously admitted that her design was insufficient. Wang Tao immediately smiled and praised:
"Actually, it's not bad. Although this car has some shortcomings, it's really fast. It's a good tool to save your life. Safety is more important than any design!"< br>
These words made Qu Shilin's face look much better. She shook her head with a wry smile, and then asked:
"By the way, have the people of the Sixth Army evacuated?"
"I don't know. I haven't been able to contact them since the radio was cut off before. I guess they have left. Cheng Yiyi is relatively reliable. ”
Wang Tao felt that Cheng Yiyi and the others should have evacuated.
Because he had specially observed the group of zombies before and saw that some zombies turned their heads in Cheng Yiyi's direction. This shows that Cheng Yiyi should have brought people out to attract the zombies.
If Cheng Yiyi and the others are in danger and cannot evacuate, then they will most likely move closer to them. Since they have not moved closer, it means they should be able to leave.
"That's good..."
Qu Shilin breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Tao and the others took such a big risk to come here. It would be a big loss if the rescue failed.
"Where are we now?" Wang Tao asked the others.
Ding Yuqin immediately handed over a tablet, which displayed a map and specifically marked the zombie tide and their approximate location.
"We should be safe now, let's go home quickly. As for the battle with Lao Xiang, forget it. After all, our current location is a bit far from the base, and we have to bypass the zombie tide. If we can return to the base before dark, it will be fine. Good luck.”
The purpose of Wang Tao and his group coming out this time is to test their actual combat capabilities and compete with Xiang Hongbin.
Now the test of strength has been completed, after all, so many zombies have been killed before. But there is no need to compete with Xiang Hongbin. It is too dangerous outside now, and the zombies may catch up at any time. It is better to go home quickly.
“Yeah!”
Including Qu Shilin, everyone had no objections to Wang Tao’s decision. After taking such a big risk, they just want to go home.
Wang Tao and others discussed and planned a route and asked Han Rui to continue driving home. Although Han Rui is a female driver, she is also an experienced driver and her driving skills are still very good.
Then Wang Tao took out a large amount of nutrient solution and shared it with everyone.
“What is this?”
Qu Shilin asked curiously.
"Nutrient solution, yours is rice-flavored. I personally think it is very fragrant."
"Huh? Nutrient solution?"
From the name, you know that this should be a kind of compressed food, but the problem is, there seems to be no such compressed food in Changhe Base, right?
The products produced by their research institute include compressed biscuits, energy bars and the like, but these are expensive and most people eat protein blocks made from cockroaches as the main ingredient. This was the first time she had heard of this nutrient solution.
Qu Shilin still trusted Wang Tao, so she opened the lid and took a sip.
“Well - it really tastes like rice, delicious!”
After finishing the bottle of nutrient solution in a few sips, Qu Shilin still couldn't believe it when she looked at the empty bottle, feeling the physical strength slowly returning to her body.
This nutritional solution, which is full of energy, easy to carry, and tastes great, doesn’t look like it was produced after the apocalypse!
Not only for technical reasons, but mainly because all production and manufacturing after the apocalypse are mainly practical. As for the taste... "not unpleasant" is already the highest evaluation, who would say It will produce such a good taste!
Especially when Wang Tao stuffed several bottles of various flavors into her hand, she really couldn't calm down.
"You--I want to keep these nutrient solutions for research, do you mind?"
Qu Shilin wanted to ask Wang Tao where this thing came from, but considering that it was Wang Tao's privacy, she didn't ask - if Wang Tao was willing to tell her, he would definitely tell her. If Wang Tao didn't tell her, then she It's in vain to ask. So Qu Shilin said that she would take the nutrient solution back for research. This was also her true idea.
"I don't mind. As for where these nutrient solutions came from... I accidentally got a 'food compressor' before. That thing can compress various foods into nutrient solutions. It is easy to operate in a fool-like manner. But the food compressor itself is too big, so I put it at home..."
"Huh?"
After hearing Wang Tao's words, Qu Shilin was stunned for a moment. Light.
“Food compressor?! Can compress food into nutrient solution?! Foolish operation...”
This thing sounded very much like the black technology of the institute, but she knew very well that the institute had never produced such a thing. Not only the research institute, but also before the end of the world, there was no such thing, at least not in their country, otherwise she would definitely know it based on her level.
Then Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao expectantly.
"Then...can I visit it when I get back?"
"Of course."
Wang Tao nodded.
The reason why he mentioned this matter was out of a sudden thought. Since Qu Shilin and his research institutes are so powerful, can they try to imitate a food compressor?
Wang Tao has encountered many big-eating zombies before. Some of the big-eating zombies will explode food compressors. Although the explosion rate is not high, Wang Tao has saved some. There is no problem in letting Qu Shilin take one to study. He can even take one out of his space backpack now, but there is no need to reveal his space backpack...
Listen When Wang Tao agreed, Qu Shilin was overjoyed.
She suddenly had a happy worry - after she went back, she didn't know what to study!
Continuing research on mechanical prosthetics? Or an improved crystal energy car? Or is she studying the weapons and equipment Wang Tao gave her? Then there is the research on nutrient solutions and food compressors?
She wants to study everything, but it's a pity that she can't be separated!
But when Qu Shilin thought that this matter was basically related to Wang Tao, she suddenly felt like a country bumpkin - she didn't understand anything and was curious about everything...
"Old Wang, what does that giant eagle you mentioned before look like?"
At this time, Xiang Hongbin, who had been looking out of the car, suddenly asked.
“What’s wrong with a black-brown eagle with a wingspan that covers the sky and the sun?”
Wang Tao was a little strange.
"Then...is it this?"
Looking back to Hongbin, a holographic projection was projected from his blue-light prosthetic eye. Although this projection is a bit blurry, it can still be seen that this is the giant eagle that Wang Tao has seen before.
Wang Tao's face suddenly became serious.
He didn't think that this was the picture Xiang Hongbin painted through his description.
"Then it seems that we may be in a bit of trouble..."
Xiang Hongbin looked out the window again, pointed at the sky somewhere and said:
"It's right there. It saw us."
Wang Tao immediately picked up the telescope and saw a little bird.
Although it looks small, it can be seen from such a distance, so the opponent's size must not be small. And most importantly, Wang Tao saw its health bar.
"That's it!"
Wang Tao thought this giant eagle was on top of some building, but he didn't expect it to be hovering so high in the air!
Unless you keep looking at the sky with a telescope, you will definitely not be able to find it.
Fortunately, Xiang Hongbin’s prosthetic eye has built-in telescope function, so he saw it when he was on guard. Otherwise, it may be like last time, when the giant eagle is found, it will have already pounced on it!
And the current situation is different from last time. In order to facilitate the crystal energy vehicle to use Fury, the place they go next is very open, with a clear view from the air. If the giant eagle attacks them at this time, There was no place to hide.
"The plan has changed, find a place to hide first!"
Buzzing——
The car immediately changed direction and headed towards a building.
Although the car has a violent mode, the speed is not necessarily weaker than that of the Giant Eagle, but the violent mode cannot be turned on all the time, otherwise the engine may have problems, and other situations may occur on the road, so it is better to hide. .
The giant eagle seemed to know that it had been discovered, and the black spot in the sky began to grow rapidly.
This time, without using binoculars, everyone could feel a terrifying aura getting closer and closer.
But after all, it was discovered in advance. Before the giant eagle attacked, the car successfully plunged into the county. Although the buildings in this small county are generally not high, they are somewhat obscured.
Wang Tao found an opportunity and drove the car directly into the underground garage of a community.
Chirp——
