Rumble——
A convoy of more than 30,000 people left the Shuize base, and the huge movement instantly alerted the zombies throughout Shuize County.
However, Shuize County is a small place, and the number of zombies is actually not that large, at least it cannot be compared with Hongshi County. Moreover, Wang Tao had basically killed all the second-level and above zombies in Shuize County, and now all that were left were first-level zombies.
Under the protection of the army, these first-order zombies will not be able to cause any harm to the convoy for a while.
But for the sake of safety, Bai Hao first sent a helicopter team to sneak around Shuize County in advance and lured many zombies away before dispatching the entire convoy.
In the command car in the middle of the convoy, Wei Zhenguo and others were tensed, for fear of encountering any accidents. However, until the convoy left the Shuize base and entered the suburban highway, everything went smoothly without any accidents.
"Hoo——"
It was only then that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It cannot be said that it is completely safe at this time, but at least we have safely evacuated from Shuize County, which is a good start for the next operation.
Zizi——
Wang Tao fired a heat ray and eliminated all the zombies that were still chasing the convoy. Then he flew to the command vehicle. He looked at Bai Hao and said:
"The zombies chasing behind have been dealt with, and it's up to you next!"
"I will get us all safely!"
Bai Hao nodded seriously, and then began to assign tasks to everyone.
There are basically no zombies on the highway, making it a relatively safe place. However, the highway may not be smooth, especially at some intersections, where there will be many abandoned vehicles, and there must be zombies inside. In addition, there may also be zombies moving onto the highway from other places... So we still can't completely relax. Someone has to keep an eye on the situation on the road at all times.
"Oh, right -" At this time, Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something, and said with a serious face, "Although there are few zombies in the suburbs, there may be some other mutated beasts. Pay more attention, if you find anything If you have any questions, please notify me as soon as possible!”
"Understood!"
They all also knew that Ta Xue on Wang Tao's shoulders was a first-order mutant beast, very powerful. So they also attach great importance to this matter.
Buzz——
At this time, the helicopter team returned.
They had lured away many zombies in Shuize County before, and only came to rendezvous after making sure that the large force left safely. Currently, there are relatively few zombies attacking from a distance, and airplanes are relatively safe. So Bai Hao sent them to explore the road again. If they found anything, they could report it directly to Wang Tao, and they all obeyed Wang Tao's orders unconditionally.
With the helicopter team to clear the way, Wang Tao felt a lot more relaxed, as he didn't have to fly around for the time being. So he took out a map and studied it carefully.
You should be able to meet many familiar people when you go to the Bauhinia Base this time. Not only were Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng who had been staying in Zijing City, but also Xu Xiaojun and Yang Changhong who they met on the way.
Of course, this "encountered halfway" refers to the previous life. It is still early in this life, so they probably hide at home and dare not go out. So Wang Tao will take advantage of this opportunity to bring them over.
They had communicated with Wang Tao about the situation in their previous life. Wang Tao knew roughly where they were now and could just go find them in two days.
Soon, Wang Tao marked two locations on the map, namely Xu Xiaojun's home and Yang Changhong's company. Both of these places are on the way to the Bauhinia base by the convoy, so they happen to be on the way.
"Wang Tao, this is..."
Ding Yuqin, who was standing next to him, saw the place circled by Wang Tao on the map and became curious.
"I have friends here. When the motorcade passes by, I will pick them up."
Wang Tao briefly explained.
After hearing this, Ding Yuqin subconsciously thought of Han Rui. Wang Tao said the same thing at the beginning, saying that he was going to find a friend, but he brought back a woman...
However, Ding Yuqin was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. She just quietly communicated with Li Qiuyu and the two made a bet. Ding Yuqin thinks that this friend Wang Tao is most likely a beauty, because Wang Tao is good at this. Li Qiuyu said that she should be a male friend...
Several people were in the same car. Although the conversation between them was small, it could not be hidden from Wang Tao. This made Wang Tao speechless. He was obviously a gentleman, how could he slander himself like this!
Shaking his head, Wang Tao continued to find the Bauhinia base on the map, and marked the locations of Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng...
……
In the blink of an eye, the sun had already set.
The convoy stopped at a service area on the highway.
The wilderness in the apocalypse is too dangerous. For the sake of safety, it is better not to rush. Just have a good rest at night, and if you leave during the day, it won't take long.
This service area is relatively deserted, with no cars parked and only a few ordinary zombies. This is obviously a great place to rest. However, the army still conducted meticulous inspections to ensure that there would be no hidden dangers.
Needless to say, they actually found something during their extensive search. So he quickly called Wang Tao over.
"Mr. Wang, this is it!"
Behind the service area is an unknown hill, and the service area is at the foot of the mountain. During the investigation, the army discovered a very hidden cave on a hill not far from the service area. It is not visible from the service area and can only be seen by taking a detour.
The soldiers felt a hair-raising smell at the entrance of the cave. They did not dare to be careless and quickly reported it to Wang Tao, Bai Hao and others.
Looking at the hole in front of him, Wang Tao sniffed his nose, and then looked at Ta Xue on his shoulder.
"The smell of mutated beasts?"
"Meow~"
Texue was slightly frightened, and it told Wang Tao that there was a second-level mutant beast inside!
It is still only at the first level, and there is basically no chance of winning against this second-level mutant beast, so it is a little nervous.
After Wang Tao received Ta Xue's confirmation, he stroked Ta Xue to tell him not to panic, and then said to the others:
"There should be a second-level mutant beast inside. I'll go in and take a look. You just need to guard at the door."
"Yes!"
The army has a strong execution ability and will not question Wang Tao's orders and will do whatever is told.
Jiang Shixue, on the other hand, did not have such strong execution ability. She looked at Wang Tao with a longing look on her face, wanting to follow Wang Tao in. Apart from Tuxue, she has never seen any other mutant beasts.
However, Wang Tao's question immediately made her wilt.
"Can you see at night?"
"Can't..."
Looking at the dark hole, Jiang Shixue pursed her lips.
"Then stay outside."
Wang Tao smiled and ruffled Jiang Shixue's hair, and then walked in with Texue.
As soon as he entered the cave, the aura of the mutated beast became even stronger, almost like a navigation, guiding Wang Tao in the direction.
His [Super Senses] talent has increased his various sensory abilities, including his sense of smell. His sense of smell is now better than that of a dog, so the smell that seems very light to others is very strong to Wang Tao.
"What the hell is this? It smells so big..."
Wang Tao frowned and followed the smell as he walked inside.
The dark cave was like daylight to Wang Tao, so he clearly saw some dead bones under his feet, both animal and human. And it looks very fresh, it must have been left recently.
"Meow~"
Ta Xue said that the monster was deep in the cave, and it vaguely sensed it.
Wang Tao touched its hair, comforted it, and then continued walking inside.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound inside the cave, as if it was caused by something constantly scratching on the wall, which made people upset.
Ta Xue's hair stood on end, and his big eyes stared intently at the cave.
Wang Tao showed a surprised expression.
“It turned out to be a centipede—no, it seems like a mutated millipede?”
Wang Tao could clearly see that at the corner of the cave, a monster with legs all over its body appeared. Its legs are densely packed, and it feels like it has more legs than a centipede, much like a millipede, also commonly known as a millipede. However, its size is much larger than that of a millipede, and it is as thick as a large water tank. And it also has a mouthpart that splits into several parts, which looks very scary. However, Wang Tao has seen too many ferocious and terrifying things, and this mutated millipede is considered childish in front of Wang Tao.
【HP: 100000/100000】
【Blue amount: 10000/10000】
[Level: Level 2·Lord]
[Powers: Copper skin and iron bones, self-healing, great strength, bleeding virus]
As for its attributes, it is obviously very strong. Like the previous orangutan zombies, it is considered the pinnacle of the second level.
But at the peak level, it is only the second level. For Wang Tao, who is the third level, it is not a problem at all.
However, before attacking, Wang Tao still habitually probed for his spiritual power to see if he could communicate with it. If he could communicate with Taxue and use it for his own use, then Wang Tao wouldn't mind it being ugly.
But unfortunately, the mutated millipede didn't respond, not at all.
"It seems like a brainless thing..."
This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Wang Tao shook his head, and then two scorching rays passed directly over.
After a moment, there was only a roar, the mutant millipede's health bar was cleared and it fell to the ground. Several crystal cores and a trophy light ball exploded out.
Tuxue skillfully put away the crystal core, while Wang Tao took a look at the trophy light ball.
In addition to the four identical crystal cores and equipment, there was one thing that was beyond Wang Tao's expectations.
[Obtain: Second-order Crystal Core·Copper Skin Iron Bone*1]
【……】
[Obtain: Level 2·Evolution Potion*1]
[Obtain: Thousand Foot Sword*999]
Wang Tao has never killed a mutant beast in this life, this is the first time. Unexpectedly, what the mutant beast exploded was different from what the zombies exploded.
[Level 2 Evolution Potion: After eating the first-level mutant beast, there is a 50% chance of being promoted to the second level, and a 20% chance of realizing a superpower]
"Evolution potion..."
Wang Tao had obtained [Purification Potion] before. It was the same as [Evolution Potion], but the effect was completely different.
This [Evolution Potion] is specially used for mutant beasts. There is a half probability that the mutant beast will be promoted, and a one-fifth probability that the mutant beast will realize a superpower.
Seeing this effect, Wang Tao could only say that it was very powerful. It would be great if humans could also use it, which would save a lot of crystal cores.
However, considering that mutated beasts cannot fuse crystal cores, and there is no way to promote the crystal core, they can only use other methods, then it is reasonable to use potions to improve...
"Meow~"
Ta Xue, who was sitting on Wang Tao's shoulder, stared curiously at the potion in Wang Tao's hand. Although it couldn't tell what it was, it vaguely felt that this thing seemed to be good for itself?
"This is good food, specially made for mutant beasts like you."
Wang Tao opened the lid, and a somewhat pungent smell penetrated Wang Tao's nostrils, but when Taxue smelled the smell, he meowed with great enjoyment. Wang Tao poured all these potions directly into Texue's mouth. There isn't much medicine, just a few drops.
After Texue finished eating, he suddenly threw himself into Wang Tao's arms.
"Meow~"
It said that as long as it took a nap, it would be promoted to the second level when it woke up.
"Huh? There is a 50% probability that this will happen? Not bad, not bad!"
Wang Tao was surprised. He didn't expect that he was lucky. There was a 50% probability of success in one go.
Holding Ta Xue in his arms, Wang Tao looked at the equipment exploded by the mutated millipede. It was the first time that Wang Tao saw 999 weapons exploded at once.
He thought he had seen it wrong just now... He was not wrong, it was 999 scimitars. However, the attributes of this equipment are relatively average.
【Thousand-legged Sword】
【Level 2 (Excellent)】
[Durability +200, Attack Power +20]
In addition to 200 durability and 20 attack power, Senzu Dao has no other effects. Compared with Wang Tao's previous equipment, it is really not good.
But considering that there are 999 of them, Wang Tao doesn’t ask for too much.
This equipment is somewhat similar to the standard equipment from the previous life, with large quantities and average attributes. It's nothing more than that for standard equipment, you first learn the blueprints and then use materials to mass-produce them. And now I give him the equipment directly, eliminating the production process...
Wang Tao won't be able to use this equipment, but Bai Hao and Wei Zhenguo should like it.
"How's it going?"
Seeing Wang Tao carrying Ta Xue out, people outside thought that Ta Xue was injured and suddenly became worried.
"The second-level mutant beast inside has been killed by me. Texue is fine. He just needs to be promoted to the second level."
Wang Tao briefly explained.
"So that's it..."
Everyone was relieved and then congratulated Wang Tao
Wang Tao briefly searched the mountain and went back after confirming that there were no more mutant beasts. And gave most of the Thousand Foot Swords to Wei Zhenguo and Bai Hao.
Wei Zhenguo and others tested it a little, and suddenly they were overjoyed. Because for Wang Tao, the attributes are relatively ordinary, but for them, they are magic weapons.
Wang Tao returned to his car, and three hours later, Texue woke up.
Judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to have changed much, but its attributes have improved a lot compared to before.
And what surprised Wang Tao was that Ta Xue was not only promoted to the second level, but also had an extra ability [Copper Skin and Iron Bone].
【HP: 30000/30000】
【Blue amount: 20000/20000】
[Level: Level 2·Lord]
【Impurities in the body: 5%】
[Superpowers: Black Mist of Mind, Copper Skin and Iron Bones]
"Hmm? The Evolution Potion's 'Promote to the Second Level' and 'Understand Super Powers' can exist at the same time?"
"Meow~"
Texue jumped on Wang Tao's shoulders and rubbed his little head against Wang Tao's face.
"Look back and pay more attention to whether there are mutant beasts on the road..."
Wang Tao touched his chin and muttered to himself.
……
The night passed without incident and the convoy passed the night in perfect safety.
Early the next morning, after dawn, the team continued on its way. According to the plan, they have to reach the Bauhinia Base within five to seven days. The shorter the time, the better, so they have to hurry up.
Wang Tao glanced at the circle drawn on the map.
"I'll pick up Xiaojun and Changhong today. There should be no problem..." (End of Chapter)
