Chapter 457 Suspected Catacombs
“The giant eagle is not chasing us!”
Seeing that the giant eagle did not fly over the cracks, nor did it go around the cracks, but landed on the slope, Everyone in the Jingneng car suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Did it really give up?”
Qu Shilin was still in disbelief.
"It probably won't come, at least not for the time being."
Wang Tao said with a smile as he watched the giant eagle gradually disappear from sight.
"That's good!"
Qu Shilin can still feel her heart beating rapidly. The situation of being chased by the giant eagle and flying over the crack just now was a bit too exciting.
After a fierce chase, it was already bright.
Wang Tao and others looked at the map and roughly guessed their location. He said to everyone:
"The matter of opening the fifth-level meteorite is temporarily suspended. We have to go back quickly and tell them about this crack. . But you can take a look to see if the snake fruit is there..."
This kind of crack is too weird, and you must take precautions in advance. And Wang Tao has a worry - will cracks appear in the Changhe base? If it appeared in the base, it might be a big trouble, so he had to go back and check the situation.
But he happened to pass by the snake fruit on his way back, so Wang Tao planned to take a look. If it was still there, he would transplant it back. If it was not there, forget it.
“Understood!”
Everyone nodded, and then everyone became alert to prevent possible dangers.
Although the giant eagle is no longer chasing, the speed of the crystal energy car has not slowed down too much. In addition, the road is easier to walk, so it can be said that the road is going fast.
In the evening, Wang Tao finally arrived near Snake Fruit.
"Huh? Are those snake fruits still there?"
After the car got closer, Wang Tao looked through the wind and snow and saw the red fruits.
[Strange Snake Fruit: After humans eat it, there is a small probability of gaining hidden attributes and a high probability of being poisoned. After the snake creature eats it, its strength will increase slightly, and there is a small probability that it will awaken]
After seeing that it was indeed a snake fruit, Wang Tao suddenly grinned.
"It seems that these snake fruits are extremely cold-resistant! They even feel better than before the heavy snow..."
The crystal energy car stopped near the snake fruits, and Wang Tao and his party got out. car.
Seeing these snake fruits, Qu Shilin's eyes lit up at first, and then she directly said that they could be transplanted.
"The fact that they can still survive in this environment shows that they are very tenacious. If we are careful when transplanting, and dig out the soil under their roots, it should not be a big problem..."
Normally, some samples need to be transplanted for testing first, but Wang Tao didn't have time to wait and planned to transplant them all at once.
Of course, Wang Tao will not remove them all, he will still leave a small part. In case the transplant fails, this small part can be regarded as a fault tolerance rate.
[Strange Snake Fruit] This thing is not cost-effective for humans to eat because it is too poisonous. Wang Tao had previously given the snake fruit to Qu Shilin for testing. Qu Shilin told Wang Tao that a total of 10 volunteers captured from the prison at that time were all poisoned after using it. The poison was extremely toxic. If not They made complete preparations in advance, and basically the whole army was wiped out... Moreover, those volunteers had some sequelae after being poisoned, and I don't know if they can be eliminated.
So this [Strange Snake Fruit] is much more toxic than [Strange Poison Sac]. There is a high probability that it will be dangerous for people to eat it. It is better not to bet on this luck.
But eating snakes is different. Not only does it increase the chance of awakening, but it also slightly increases strength every time it is eaten. The price/performance ratio is obviously higher.
So these snake fruits are obviously prepared for Xiao Hei and the five black snakes.
Xiao Hei and the others did not come with them this time, they were all at home. Because they don't like cold places and want to sleep when the temperature gets low. They can't fight in the snow, so they stay at home...
When Wang Tao left last time, he put these snake fruits All taken away. And this time we meet again, there are a lot of fruits here. I don’t know how long it takes for the fruit trees to ripen... Of course, it’s a good thing to ripen quickly.
With the joint efforts of a group of people, most of the snake fruits here were dug out with their roots and soil.
This time the car is larger, and there is a special truck body at the back. In addition, these snake fruit trees are not big, just like bushes, so there is no problem in loading these small fruit trees.
It took some time, and everyone finally moved most of the snake fruit trees onto the car.
Looking at the bare hillside, Wang Tao waved his hand.
“Let’s go.”
Buzz——
The crystal energy engine made a soft sound and carried everyone away from here.
It was already dark at this time, but Wang Tao felt that he was getting closer to the base, so he did not stop and prepared to rush back overnight. He Jijun stepped on the accelerator all the way, and in the middle of the night, everyone in the car finally saw the high snow-capped wall.
“We’re finally here!”
A moment later, the crystal energy car arrived outside the south gate.
There was someone on duty inside, specifically waiting for Wang Tao and the others. When they saw someone coming back, they immediately identified themselves to Wang Tao.
After there was no problem with his identity, the door slowly opened and the crystal energy car drove in.
Looking at the familiar scenes in the base, everyone completely relaxed.
“The air in the base is still sweet!”
Qu Shilin joked.
“That’s not possible!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After some inspection, after confirming that none of Wang Tao and the others were infected and that there were no zombies in the car, the soldiers saluted and opened the second gate.
Wang Tao used his message watch to contact Gu Yun.
Gu Yun was probably sleeping, and his voice was a little confused. When he heard it was Wang Tao, he immediately became energetic. Especially when Wang Tao told him that there were important changes outside and he needed to meet and talk, he immediately asked Wang Tao to go to the city hall, and he asked someone to prepare supper for Wang Tao and the others.
“Let’s go to the city hall first.”
From the conversation with Gu Yun, Wang Tao knew that there were no cracks in the base, and he felt relieved.
Driving all the way to the city hall, Wang Tao saw a group of people waiting in the heavy snow at the door.
Wang Tao originally thought that Gu Yun had brought some people to greet them, but when he got closer, he discovered that in addition to Gu Yun, this group of people also included the deputy mayor, Cheng Yiyi, and other members of the six legions. Member of Changhe Base.
"Wang Tao, welcome to the triumphant return!"
Gu Yun was immediately relieved when he saw that Wang Tao and his party were fine.
"Good evening, everyone! I am so flattered that so many leaders are here at this late night!"
Wang Tao immediately smiled and greeted everyone.
"Nowhere! Wherever there is a leader, we are all friends!"
Everyone waved their hands quickly.
Strength is king in the end of the world, and Wang Tao’s strength when he arrested people from the Twilight Church was obvious to all. Although Wang Tao's apparent status was not as high as any of theirs, they did not dare to regard themselves as leaders in front of Wang Tao.
After everyone was a little polite, they walked into the city hall together.
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Tao smelled the strong aroma of food. All they had been eating these days was nutrient solution. When they smelled this smell, their index fingers twitched.
“Come on, let’s chat while we eat!”
Due to the rush of time, the food prepared was not very elaborate. It was in the form of a buffet, and everyone could eat as much as they wanted.
Others obviously didn't have much appetite, so they just served their food and waited for Wang Tao to speak. The top brass of the base came here this time, not because Wang Tao was so powerful, but because Wang Tao had returned from the ice and snow, and what he saw outside was definitely important information. Not to mention that Wang Tao told Gu Yun that something happened outside. So they have to know what is going on outside as soon as possible.
Wang Tao didn't give in. After he finished serving the meal, he immediately said to everyone:
"There are indeed zombies outside, and there are a lot of them."
Just one sentence The words instantly made everyone excited.
They thought Wang Tao was talking about zombies that were unable to move due to being frozen. But what Wang Tao said next made their expressions change.
"Those zombies are what I call 'frozen zombies', but they are not the kind of freezing you understand, but they have a 'frozen halo' effect..."
Wang Tao gave everyone a closer look at the situation of the frozen zombies Explained.
One of the main purposes of his going out this time, and also the issue that Gu Yun and the others are most concerned about, is what is happening with the zombies outside.
"Frozen zombies..."
"Wait, you are saying that these frozen zombies are all elite zombies, and they are basically level three or above?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the key words in Wang Tao's words.
Have all the ordinary zombies outside evolved into frozen zombies? And they are all elite zombies of level 3, level 4 and above! And they all have a range of negative conditions, which will affect humans as soon as they get close...
Everyone felt an instant chill down their spines.
“That’s not all. In addition to these frozen zombie elites, there are also frozen zombie lords. When those lords are with a large number of frozen zombies, their overall combat effectiveness will increase, making it more difficult for us to kill. A lot..."< br>
“I have also been to the zombie groups you mentioned before. The zombies in the zombie groups are all gathered together. There are dozens of fourth-order lords, ten fifth-order lords, and even Two terrifyingly powerful sixth-level lords!”
"Hiss—sixth-level lord!"
Although Gu Yun and the others were mentally prepared, they still couldn't hold back when they heard that there were really six-level lords, or two. After all, the strongest one in the base is only at level four...
As if Wang Tao felt that the bad news didn’t hit them enough, Wang Tao handed them his information watch again, and on the screen A video is playing.
“Take a look at this video.”
Everyone looked at it immediately.
"I'll go, there are so many zombies!"
"Are these frozen zombies? They really feel different from the previous zombies..."
"Huh? I'll go! They fell into the cliff ”
“No! This is not a cliff, this is...a crack in the ground?”
Everyone was shocked after seeing the huge crack that swallowed countless zombies. .
"There was an earthquake outside? It's impossible! We didn't feel it..."
They thought it was an earthquake.
"This is not an earthquake, but a strange underground crack..."
Wang Tao explained.
The video continued to play, and they saw several more black cracks appearing.
"Wang Tao, when did you take this photo? Do you know what's in these cracks?"
Cheng Yiyi next to her asked quickly.
Wang Tao took a big bite of the steak and said:
"These cracks suddenly appeared last night. I have seen only half of the village left. As for the half that disappeared, "Evidently, it fell into the crack silently. As for what was in the crack, I don't know..."
Wang Tao talked about his own observations and speculations.
"It appeared suddenly..."
Hearing this, everyone's faces became even more ugly.
They all thought of the same problem as Wang Tao before - if these cracks appeared in the base, it would be troublesome!
"Gu Yun, are our base okay?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Gu Yun.
Gu Yun had already picked up the phone and started contacting various departments.
After a while, he put down the phone.
"There is nothing wrong with our base. It's okay for the time being..."
Everyone was slightly relieved when they heard that the base was fine, but their faces were still full of worry.
It is a good thing that there is no base now, but no one can guarantee whether it will suddenly appear in the future.
Although Wang Tao said that he did not feel much danger from the crack, this was just Wang Tao's personal feeling. Wang Tao's strength is so strong, he must be different from ordinary people. If a crack suddenly appears in the base, what will others do...
"A large number of frozen zombie elites, fifth-level or even sixth-level lords, mysterious cracks ...Oh yes, there is also the giant eagle that is still active in the snow..."
No matter which problem it is, it is enough to give them a headache. When these problems occur at the same time, it is simply fatal.
But at this moment, someone suddenly said:
"About this crack... Principal Wang, can you explain it more carefully?"
This was the first time that Wang Tao heard someone call him Principal Wang, and he almost didn't react. After all, he hasn't taken up his post at Awakening School yet.
After reacting, Wang Tao looked at the speaker. He was a thin middle-aged man. Third level strength, no hidden attributes.
He is a committee member. If Wang Tao remembers correctly, his name should be Shi Chuanfu. He seems to be from a big force.
“Okay.”
Wang Tao nodded, and then explained the crack in detail. Including his own inferences, feelings, various details he saw, etc.
After he finished speaking, Shi Chuanfu was a little unsure and said:
"How do I feel...the cracks that Principal Wang mentioned are very much like caves!"
"Ah. ? Catacombs?”
Many people, including Wang Tao, were a little confused.
When a few people passed by Shi Chuanfu and said this, they suddenly realized.
"If you remind me, don't tell me. I think it does look like a cave! First of all, the cave is underground. Secondly, there is also this kind of black mist in the cave..."
Only a few people know the specific location of the catacombs. Only they have seen the specific conditions of the cave.
The people who spoke are one of the people who know the specific location of the cave.
When they said this, Wang Tao suddenly raised his eyebrows.
If it is really a cave, doesn't it mean that they can go in now?
