Chapter 104: Ruthless Person, Acquaintance
Wang Tao just wanted to ask Gao Hua if he had controlled the screaming woman and stopped her from screaming.
But Gao Hua went straight over and killed her!
The other survivors all covered their mouths in fear and dared not speak. Some people were so scared that they peed and shit...
They were all still looking forward to what the survivor base would look like. Who would have thought that they would lose two people before they even got there, and Gao Hua killed them himself!
Han Rui held the sniper crossbow tightly. If Wang Tao hadn't given the order, she would have aimed at Gao Hua.
Wang Tao frowned at the bloody scene, but didn't say much. If this old lady was the one who screamed before, she really deserved to die. But Gao Hua went in and killed another person, which made Wang Tao a little strange.
"Who is inside?"
"Xie Xia's grandson." Gao Hua pointed at the old lady whose throat was cut. "If her grandson is alive, he will definitely take revenge on me. I can't keep him!"
"... You, you are too murderous. Our base doesn't like people like you!"
Wang Tao shook his head.
If Gao Hua killed someone before he came, Wang Tao would pretend that he saw nothing. Survivors who settled in the Shuize base generally don't mention the past unless it is dug up by someone. So Wang Tao can turn a blind eye.
But this Gao Hua killed the two survivors in front of him. Killing the aunt is fine, but he also killed an innocent person... This makes it difficult for him, a committee member who always pays attention to fairness and justice!
After hearing what Wang Tao said, Gao Hua immediately threw away the bloody dagger in his hand. Then he knelt on one knee in front of Wang Tao and clasped his fists and said:
"Brother! I said before that as long as you can save me, I will be your slave for the rest of my life! Since I said this, I, Gao Hua, will do what I say! It doesn't matter whether the survivor base accepts me or not, I just want to follow you!"
"..."
Looking at Gao Hua with a sincere face, Wang Tao suddenly realized.
This Gao Hua... deliberately killed people in front of him! This is a token of surrender!
Gao Hua knew that Xie Xia had tricked Wang Tao. To Wang Tao, Xie Xia was already an enemy. So he killed Wang Tao, his enemy, to avoid dirtying Wang Tao's hands, and by the way, he handed over a letter of surrender to Wang Tao... It was reasonable.
Moreover, he did not kill people behind their backs, but did it in front of so many people and Wang Tao, so he would always bear the identity of a murderer.
If it were in peacetime, this would become a handle for him, a handle that could put him to death.
Although it is the end of the world now, there is no law. But the reputation of killing a companion is also not good. Put yourself in their shoes, who would like to stay with such a person?
So he will definitely be rejected by everyone. This is actually very fatal to Gao Hua.
Unless he wants to be a lone ranger in the end of the world, but it seems that he does not have this ability at present.
So after Gao Hua killed these two people, he had only one way - to follow Wang Tao.
This Gao Hua is very cruel!
Not only cruel to others, but also to himself.
He directly cut off his own retreat.
If Wang Tao didn't like him, then even if he was brought to the survivors' base, he would most likely be isolated, after all, it was impossible to conceal the murder. Unless the other survivors at the scene were killed...
And if Wang Tao liked him, then he could cling to Wang Tao's thighs. It didn't matter whether others liked him or not.
So, Gao Hua gave the initiative to choose to Wang Tao.
...
Looking at the fully armed strong man in front of him, who couldn't even see his eyes clearly, Gao Hua was also very uneasy.
The purpose of his surrender was very clear, that is, he wanted to follow Wang Tao.
Ever since he saw Wang Tao and Han Rui yesterday, he had the idea of becoming friends with Wang Tao.
Unfortunately, all this was destroyed by the old woman Xie Xia. Gao Hua was very angry at the time, but he could do nothing and could only choose to remain silent. He thought, maybe God really wanted him to die.
But today, when he saw that Wang Tao and the other two were not dead but alive and well, he understood that he was not destined to die!
Especially when Wang Tao showed that he wanted to save him, but hated Aunt Xie Xia, Gao Hua knew that his chance had come!
Not only did he want to be rescued, he also wanted to follow this strong man!
Because he was really fed up with that group of idiots - if they hadn't been so timid at the beginning, and listened to his advice, they would have gone out earlier before the sledgehammer zombie came. Even if they went to the villa area, it was only a few steps away, and they wouldn't be trapped here!
Even if Gao Hua could really be rescued, he didn't want to be neighbors with such idiots anymore. Because he didn't know when he might be killed by such a person.
So, Gao Hua chose the most ruthless way - submitting a letter of surrender!
This Xie Xia had harmed Wang Tao, so she was doomed. Whether Wang Tao would kill her or not, Gao Hua would choose to do it!
After all, he really helped Wang Tao vent his anger. Unless Wang Tao is a saint, there is no reason for Wang Tao to hate him - even if he hates him verbally, he will feel comfortable in his heart.
As for killing Xie Xia's grandson, the reason is the same as he said, this is to avoid future troubles. He doesn't want to be retaliated in the future, even if he thinks that with the ability of Xie Xia's useless grandson, there is no way to retaliate against him, he is not willing to take this risk.
Of course, his idea is good, but he dare not guarantee Wang Tao's idea.
If Wang Tao had any quirks, didn't like people as ruthless as him, or even if Wang Tao was an absolutely righteous person who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes, then his life might even be in danger.
But Gao Hua still took the gamble.
Because only when you truly experience despair can you understand the importance of your own strength - he doesn't want to team up with this bunch of rubbish again!
"What did you do before? Have you killed anyone?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked. This man looks well-dressed, and doesn't look like a gangster!
"I used to work in the financial industry, of course I haven't killed anyone, I haven't even killed a chicken."
Gao Hua hurriedly said.
"Oh?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised, working in finance? They should all be powerful people, right?
Gao Hua understood what Wang Tao was thinking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"In the financial industry, personal ability is actually not important, what is important is strength and background. So, I'm not doing well..."
He barely made a million a year.
But he didn't dare to say this, he was afraid that Wang Tao would think he was showing off...
Wang Tao shook his head and didn't say anything more to him, but looked at the others and said:
"We are from the survivor base of Shuize University. Are you staying here or going to the base?"
"Shuize University base?" Everyone looked at each other and nodded quickly, "I, we will go to the survivor base with you!"
The food was gone, and they would only wait to die if they stayed here.
Everyone agreed to go to the survivor base. No one asked what was going on in the base, and no one spoke for Xie Xia and his grandson.
After seeing that they all agreed, Wang Tao looked at Gao Hua.
"What about you?"
"I'll follow you, big brother!"
Gao Hua said without hesitation.
"Okay. Then you wait here first. Someone will come to pick you up later."
After that, Wang Tao prepared to leave.
"Ah? Aren't we leaving with you?"
"What should we do if you leave..."
"Please don't leave us..."
The other survivors were stunned, and then almost all looked panicked.
Wang Tao said coldly:
"My car can't accommodate so many people, or if some of you are willing to stay and give the seat to others, I can take a few people away first."
"..."
Hearing this, everyone shut up instantly, they were not willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
"Since you don't want to, then wait here obediently."
Wang Tao didn't want to take these people back personally, mainly because a few people just had their shit and urine scared out of their wits. This would pollute his car.
Gao Hua saw that Wang Tao was a little unhappy, he cursed him in his heart, and then quickly said:
"Okay, big brother, we won't go anywhere, just wait here for rescue!"
"Very good."
Wang Tao looked at Gao Hua and nodded with satisfaction.
He said to the other survivors:
"Before the rescue arrives, you just listen..."
Wang Tao suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of the man with glasses.
"My name is Gao Hua!"
Gao Hua saw Wang Tao looking at him and quickly spoke.
"Well, just listen to Gao Hua. Close the doors and windows and wait for rescue."
"...Yes!"
Everyone nodded quickly.
Wang Tao nodded to Han Rui, and then the two of them left.
Gao Hua watched Wang Tao and the other two leave, and then he quickly locked the door.
"Huh - I'm saved!"
Gao Hua was excited, he knew that he had made the right bet, he had found a big leg!
Although he didn't know what position this big brother held in the survivor base, it was enough that the big brother had strength!
In the end times, one's own strength is the foundation!
...
"Do you really want to absorb that Gao Hua into the base?"
After the two of them left the building, Han Rui asked in a low voice with some curiosity.
However, she may feel that her question is a bit impolite, so she hurriedly said:
"I'm not doubting your decision, I just think that so many survivors have seen Gao Hua kill people, if he is absorbed into the base, it may cause some bad effects..."
"Go back and ask Gao Hua to warn these people not to talk nonsense. Of course, it doesn't matter if you really want to say it. I'm a committee member, I have the final say."
"..."
Han Rui rolled her eyes at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao felt that Gao Hua was quite capable and a talent - ruthlessness is also a kind of ability.
Then, as he said, he was a committee member, one of the highest-ranking people in the base, and he did not need to explain his actions to others.
The two of them cautiously came to the gate of the community, and the suicide zombie was still there.
Wang Tao first climbed over the wall with Han Rui, and then the two came to the car, and after making sure that the car was safe. Wang Tao said to Han Rui:
"Let's go check the house over there first."
"Okay."
Wang Tao drove to a closed house on the street.
After Han Rui used her supernatural power to detect and confirmed that there was no danger, Wang Tao used the lock-picking tool to open the door.
"It's not bad here, you can hide temporarily."
Then Wang Tao drove the car slowly to the gate of the community and stopped the car at a place that was suitable for Han Rui's shooting distance and angle.
"I'll drive, and you can snipe the suicide bomber from a long distance in the car."
Wang Tao said to Han Rui.
He was going to leave the suicide bomber to Han Rui to deal with, and try the defense of the suicide bomber.
Given the special nature of the suicide zombie, it is either a one-shot kill, or a one-shot failure and the suicide explodes... Wang Tao's archery skills are not very good, and he definitely cannot hit the suicide at this distance. Therefore, Han Rui only has one chance to attack, and he has no chance to intervene.
"Okay!"
Han Rui entered the cab, opened the window, placed the sniper crossbow on the window, and aimed at the suicide.
Wang Tao started the car and slowly drove to the gate of the community. After reaching the ideal position, Wang Tao whispered:
"Do it!"
Han Rui had been aiming at the suicide zombie, and after hearing Wang Tao's order, she decisively pulled the trigger!
Swoosh——
Wang Tao vaguely saw the trajectory of the crossbow arrow, and then saw a crossbow arrow inserted into the head of the suicide.
At the same time, a damage number floated out.
【-1200】
【0/1200】
The suicide exploder died instantly.
"Huh?"
This damage is higher than Wang Tao expected.
"The defense of the self-exploder is really average!"
However, after the self-exploder died, the exposed organs on his body were still slowly expanding. Although the expansion speed was not as fast as when he was alive, seeing that his body was getting bigger and bigger, it would still explode!
"Fuck, the body will still explode!"
Wang Tao in the car saw this situation and cursed inwardly.
He was afraid that the body of the self-exploder might explode, so he didn't go over and only let Han Rui shoot from a distance.
Lu Gang had told Wang Tao before that when he shot the self-exploder, even if he killed the self-exploder, it would still explode.
Lu Gang naturally had no need to lie to Wang Tao, but Wang Tao wanted to try it himself. After all, there is also a possibility that Lu Gang did not kill the self-exploder in one shot, which triggered the self-exploder's self-explosion.
After all, Lu Gang could not see the health bar of the self-exploder.
But now it seems that whether it can be killed in one shot or not, the self-exploder zombie will explode!
However, the explosion time of the self-exploder when alive is different from that after death... When Wang Tao drove the car to the temporary hiding house that he had just prepared in advance, the body of the self-exploder exploded.
Boom!
Wang Tao quickly closed the door.
A moment later, waves of terrifying roars suddenly came from the street, and those crazy zombies appeared again.
The two were far away from the location of the self-exploder zombies and were still hiding in the house, so there was no danger. This is the advantage of the crossbow. There is no sound when it is fired, and it will not attract zombies.
Wang Tao looked at the crazy zombies outside, but he was thinking about the time of the self-exploder's explosion.
When the self-exploder is alive, if it is alarmed, it will explode within three seconds.
And now, Wang Tao looked at it and saw that it took about ten seconds for its body to explode.
Three seconds is too short and may not do anything, but ten seconds is relatively more. If the technology is skilled, this time is enough to dig out the zombie crystal core and run away...
The two waited in the room for about a few minutes, and the crazy zombies left.
It is estimated that they did not sense any "human smell", so they left without staying for long. After all, Han Rui was a long-distance sniper, and no one went there.
After confirming that there was no danger, Wang Tao drove the car to the explosion site, and a red crystal core was shining on the ground.
Han Rui opened the car door and picked up the crystal core instantly. Wang Tao did not stop the car and continued to move forward.
"Here."
In the car, Han Rui gave the red crystal core to Wang Tao.
[First-level crystal core·Self-destruction]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side effects: None)]
Lucky, it is an excellent quality crystal core, but unfortunately it is a self-destruction crystal core, which is useless at present.
He already has two self-destruction crystal cores, one is purple excellent (60%), and the other is this red excellent.
He was thinking, why not go to the committee to get an ordinary white self-destruction crystal core after returning, and then synthesize an epic quality (100%) self-destruction crystal core?
Although it seems useless, the orange crystal core looks good...
Shaking his head, Wang Tao put away the crystal core and said to Han Rui beside him:
"Let's go find the last airdrop for an hour. Whether we can find it or not, we have to go back."
Speaking of which, after Han Rui killed the suicide zombie just now, she added 40 blood. Now her blood volume has reached [640/640], which is considered a strong one in the base.
"Okay!"
Han Rui took out the map.
Before coming, they roughly marked the approximate location of the airdrop on the map. Although it may not be found, it is better than flying around like a headless fly.
About half an hour later, Wang Tao got a good news and a bad news.
The good news is that the airdrop was found and landed on the top floor of a house.
The bad news is that there is only a box of inhibitor in the airdrop box-there was obviously a battle here. Although there are no corpses, there is fresh blood...It feels like the battle happened not long ago.
Looking at the 20 inhibitors full in the box, Wang Tao was a little surprised. Since they had picked up all the airdrops, why didn't they take all of them? Why was there one box left?
This could only mean one thing - they were in a very dangerous situation at the time and didn't even have time to get the last box of inhibitor.
Wang Tao estimated that they must have encountered a special zombie with strong strength.
He asked Han Rui to feel it carefully, and after confirming that there were no special zombies around, he took the box of inhibitor and left.
"Forget it, let's go back."
Although he only got one box, he didn't return empty-handed after all, and this trip was not in vain.
Wang Tao drove the car towards the third airdrop he had seen before, which was also the direction to go back.
If he was lucky, he might be able to take the airdrop away.
However, when he walked to another alley, Wang Tao suddenly stopped the car.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Han Rui was a little surprised.
"I saw an acquaintance..."
Wang Tao's face was a little strange.
Han Rui followed his gaze and saw nothing in the alley.
"I'll go down and take a look, you drive and meet me at any time."
After Wang Tao said to Han Rui, he got out of the car and walked towards the alley.
He did see an acquaintance in the alley just now, and it was none other than the yellow-haired Wu Fei he had met at the water plant before!
