Chapter 147 Heavy Casualties (Asking for Monthly Votes at the End of the Month)
"call--"
Wang Tao turned over directly and lay on the ground.
His whole body felt sore, his lungs were burning like fire, and his head was about to burst... He really wanted to sleep, but he knew he couldn't sleep at this time, otherwise a random zombie could kill him.
After a while, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief and climbed up with difficulty. First he collected all the trophies of the orangutan zombies, and then he took a look at the corpse of the zombie Wu Fei.
"Why……"
Wang Tao has a bottle of purification potion in his hand, which has a certain probability of turning zombies into humans, but only if the other party is not dead.
The zombie Wu Fei was already dead - his entire head was chopped into pieces by Wang Tao's axe, the crystal core collapsed, and only the lower half of his face was left. The corners of its mouth were slightly raised, as if it were smiling.
When Wang Tao was at the end of his strength, Wu Fei, who had lost his mind, rushed directly towards him. It was impossible for him not to resist. Wang Tao also didn't notice that Wu Fei only had one drop of blood and would die if he touched it.
"Man, thanks a lot!"
Wang Tao patted the zombie Wu Fei on the shoulder, his tone a bit sad.
When he saved Wu Fei, one of them saw that he was pitiful and not dead yet, and the other wanted to test the inhibitor's effect.
Wang Tao didn't expect him to give him anything in return.
After all, this is the end of the world, and maybe that will be the first and last time the two of them meet.
In addition, Wang Tao was much stronger than Wu Fei at that time...Wu Fei said he would repay Wang Tao, but Wang Tao just took it as a joke.
Later, Wang Tao accidentally saw Wu Fei, who had accumulated 30% impurities in his body.
Wu Fei knew that he was hopeless, but he was very open-minded except for Ou Yingying, the woman who had framed him.
Wu Fei said at that time that he would repay Wang Tao, but Wang Tao still didn't take it to heart.
Later, Ou Yingying died. Wang Tao met Wu Fei again. At this time, Wu Fei had changed drastically, with more than 90% of the impurities in his body, and he was in a state where he could turn into a zombie at any time. He was very indifferent and looked at Wang Tao as if he were a stranger.
Wang Tao was not unhappy at all. He just felt that Wu Fei was very pitiful. He knew that Wu Fei's life was already counting down the seconds. Maybe next time you go out, you can see Wu Fei transformed into a zombie...
Now, Wang Tao sees Wu Fei for the last time.
The impurities in Wu Fei's body had reached 100%, and he said the last words to Wang Tao stiffly: I said, I will repay you.
After saying this, he turned into a zombie and rushed towards the orangutan zombie. His move should be a superpower, which directly deducted a large amount of the gorilla zombie's health bar and locked it so that the gorilla zombie could not move.
The cost of this ability should be quite high. Wu Fei killed the orangutan zombies and lost 5,000 blood, but he himself also lost 4,999 blood.
Then, Wang Tao took the opportunity to kill the orangutan zombie, and also killed Wu Fei, who had become a zombie.
Wang Tao has always felt that his relationship with Wu Fei is that of a stranger, at most a relatively familiar stranger. Regardless of whether the other party repaid him or not, Wang Tao didn't care.
But in Wu Fei's eyes, Wang Tao was his savior, and it was Wang Tao who gave him the chance to take revenge. Wu Fei is a man of his word. Since he promised to repay, he will repay, no matter what method he uses.
Maybe Wu Fei has been following Wang Tao, maybe Wu Fei has been following the orangutan zombies, or maybe Wu Fei just happened to encounter the battle between Wang Tao and the orangutan zombies...
But no matter what, Wu Fei fulfilled his promise-Wang Tao saved his life and allowed him to live for three more months. So he used his own life to save Wang Tao's life.
Wang Tao respects him as a man!
"Ho ho..."
After collecting all the loot, some ordinary zombies came around. Wang Tao didn't even look, and chopped the heads of these zombies into pieces with two axes.
Then Wang Tao staggered towards Wei Zhenguo's position.
It was all mud. Wang Tao rummaged for a while and finally saw the three of them.
Wei Zhenguo, Xiang Hongbin and Han Rui all fainted, and all of them had heavy blood loss. Wang Tao dragged them to a clean place, wiped the mud from their faces, and then used medical kits for them.
Not long after, the three of them woke up one after another.
"Am I...dead...Wang Tao? Even you..."
Han Rui looked at Wang Tao next to her with a dazed look.
Wang Tao patted her little face very politely.
"You are still alive, but if you don't leave immediately, you may really die."
"Ah? I'm not dead..."
Han Rui was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing.
"Ahem, Wang Tao, what's going on?"
Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin are relatively calm. They don't believe in ghosts and gods. If they are conscious, they are alive. If they are not conscious, they are dead. It's that simple.
"The orangutan zombie is dead."
A smile appeared on Wang Tao's face.
"The orangutan zombie is dead!"
The three of them were very surprised, and Xiang Hongbin pinched his thigh hard. He knew he was alive, but he was afraid he was dreaming.
"Hiss--it hurts!"
"Wang Tao, you are so awesome!"
Han Rui praised excitedly.
Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin also looked in awe.
The orangutan zombies should be the most powerful zombies in Shuize County. As long as they deal with the orangutan zombies, they will not say they are safe in the future, but at least they will be as worried every day as they are now!
But Wang Tao shook his head.
"This is not my credit alone, this is everyone's credit. And at the moment of my life and death, Wu Fei appeared. He saved my life and helped me kill the orangutan zombies."
"Ah? Wu Fei!"
All three of them exclaimed.
Wang Tao told them about Wu Fei's situation before. Wasn't Wu Fei about to turn into a zombie? Could there have been some unexpected encounter that led to a return to normal?
"What about others?"
Han Rui asked quickly. She still felt very guilty towards Wu Fei and Li Chengdu.
"He died. It turned into a zombie and I killed it."
"..."
Everyone opened their mouths, but didn't know what to say.
"I'll tell you the specific situation later. Let's rest for a while and then return to the base."
I don’t know what is going on in the base. It’s possible that they are all still alive; it’s also possible that a large number of crazy zombies have invaded the base and they are all dead...
"good!"
The four of them were all seriously injured, especially Wang Tao, who only had a few hundred health left. He couldn't leave, let alone fight.
Thanks to Wang Tao's medical kit, he also has the ability to heal himself and regain blood. Otherwise, the four of them would completely lose their fighting ability.
After resting for a while, several people felt much better. Although he still has residual blood, he is at least not unable to walk.
"Walk!"
Wang Tao and others supported each other and walked towards the base.
No zombies appeared along the way. These zombies may have been attracted to the base. Among the few people, only Han Rui's walkie-talkie was good. She tried to contact them using the walkie-talkie, but there was no news. Everyone's faces were very ugly.
"I hope everyone is still alive..."
Han Rui prayed silently in her heart.
After spending some time, several people arrived on the roof of a three-story building not far from the base.
"There are still many zombies in the base, but I see that the defense of the complex has not been breached. Without the gorilla zombies, it will still be difficult for the crazy zombies to break through the defenses made of steel plates..."
Wei Zhenguo put down the telescope.
Although I didn't hear any movement in the building, as long as it wasn't breached, it would be good news.
"What do you say now? Just rush in?"
Xiang Hongbin looked at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao shook his head.
"No, in our current state, if we are besieged by crazy zombies, we probably won't be able to escape... Since the complex has not been breached, let's restore our condition first and then go there."
These few of them might be the base's last fighting force. As long as they are still alive, there is still hope for the base. If they died or were trapped, the base might really be hopeless.
"That makes sense!"
Everyone nodded, and then settled down temporarily in this building.
While recovering, several people took turns using telescopes to monitor what was going on in the base.
Crazy zombies are a type of zombie that are particularly sensitive to sound. If there is any movement, they may always be there to guard you. If there is no movement, they may stay for a while and then leave.
Now that the gorilla zombie is dead, the crazy zombie cannot break through the complex, and there is no movement inside the complex.
So no matter what the situation is in the complex, as long as everyone waits patiently, there is a high probability that these crazy zombies will slowly leave.
Of course, even if they don't leave, they can still rush in after Wang Tao and others recover.
They rested from noon until the afternoon. Although the health bars of several people were not fully restored. After all, some injuries could not be restored with medical kits, their mana levels were almost restored.
Those with blue powers and those without blue powers are basically two species.
"If you're ready, let's go!"
The crazy zombies downstairs in the complex have left part of it, and they can pass now.
"Walk!"
After a few people appeared at the door of Shuize Base, they immediately attracted the attention of some crazy zombies.
Seeing these ferocious monsters running towards him, Wang Tao and others didn't hesitate to fight. After using several charges in succession, they successfully arrived at the administration building.
Then according to the previous method, he climbed from the steel cable on the roof of the administrative building to the roof of the complex building.
Before a few people reached the top of the building, they saw Lu Gang lying on the top of the building. Feng Ming'an was lying next to him.
After coming down, Wang Tao and others quickly trotted to the two of them.
"Lu Gang! Feng Mingan! Wake up!"
Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin slapped their faces, and then pinched them.
Wang Tao was not so anxious. He saw that Lu Gang's health bar and Feng Ming'an were only severely disabled, not dead. He took out the medical kit for the two of them to use.
After a while, Lu Gang took the lead and finally woke up.
"I……"
Looking at the figure in front of him, Lu Gang was in a daze.
"Just wake up! Just wake up!"
Everyone was happy.
Feng Ming'an also woke up at this time.
"you……"
"It's okay, we are safe!"
Wei Zhenguo comforted them, without saying much to them, and quickly helped Lu Gang and Feng Ming'an downstairs.
In the building, almost everyone fell to the ground. The smarter people blocked their ears with things, and the smarter ones covered their heads with clothes and quilts while covering their ears.
As for the stupid ones... their health bars were all cleared - at a glance, Wang Tao saw that many people had lost their health bars.
"Why……"
Wang Tao sighed silently.
He had anticipated this situation before he came in. And to be honest, this was better than he thought, at least they were not wiped out, and there were still many survivors alive.
Wang Tao found Ren Jie and Liu He.
Although these two people were not strong in combat, they were after all psychics, and their physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people. Moreover, Wang Tao had reminded Ren Jie before, asking them to pay attention to the sonic attacks of the gorilla zombies. So they just fainted with residual blood, and they were not in danger of life.
After waking up Ren Jie and Liu He, Wang Tao found Ding Yuqin again.
It was not surprising for Wang Tao that Ding Yuqin was still alive. After all, Wang Tao had led Ding Yuqin to kill many zombies, and she now had more than 4,000 blood.
What surprised Wang Tao was that Li Qiuyu was still alive. The two of them were hugging each other and huddled in several thick quilts.
However, Li Qiuyu's 100 blood bar only had 10 drops of blood left. It felt that if he came a little later, she might be cold.
Wang Tao woke the two and used a medical kit for each of them.
"Wang Tao..."
Ding Yuqin woke up and saw that she was in Wang Tao's arms. She thought she was dreaming. After she came to her senses, she immediately buried her head in Wang Tao's arms with tears in her eyes.
"I thought I would never see you again..."
"It's safe, we're fine."
Wang Tao gently patted Ding Yuqin's back.
Li Qiuyu was pale and trembling all over. It was obvious that she had not recovered from the panic.
Han Rui took the initiative to hug Li Qiuyu.
"Okay, we're fine..."
"Woo woo..."
Li Qiuyu burst into tears.
Wang Tao went to wake up the others again.
"Commissioner Wang..."
Huo Ziyi and her sisters were lucky and did not die. Seeing Wang Tao, she subconsciously rushed over and hugged him.
Wang Tao patted her back.
"It's okay, everyone is fine..."
"Woo woo..."
Huo Ziyi once again felt the sadness of being weak. Even if she didn't go to fight, she almost died staying at home!
If it weren't for a little sister who was smart and quickly found something to plug their ears after the first roar of the gorilla zombie, they would probably all be dead...
"Don't be afraid, take a good rest."
Wang Tao let go of Huo Ziyi and went to check on the other survivors. Gao Hua and Chen Zhuang were not dead either, which was good news for Wang Tao...
After spending some time, everyone finally woke up everyone who could be woken up in the complex building. As for those who couldn't be woken up...they would never wake up again.
Looking at the numbers on the statistical list, Wang Tao and the other committee members sighed.
No one expected that the roar of the gorilla zombie would have such a large range and lethality!
The survivors were still in the building, but some of the unlucky ones were directly killed by the sound, and the others who were not dead were also stunned.
Yesterday, there were a total of 712 people in the Shuize base. After the gorilla zombies came last night, more than 100 people died directly, and there were less than 600 people left - this was because everyone had been on guard against the gorilla zombies and had made some preparations in advance, otherwise there would be more deaths.
Wei Zhenguo and his team finally gathered the remaining survivors in this complex building, and with Wang Tao coming back, they thought the lives of the remaining survivors should be saved.
But who would have thought that the gorilla zombies had such a terrifying range attack ability.
The first roar made many people faint, and the second roar directly killed more than 200 people!
Now there are only 303 people on the list in Wang Tao's hand... In other words, 409 survivors died in just one day!
A few days ago, Ren Jie was still saying that the strength of the Shuize base was getting stronger and stronger. As a result, in just a few days, the number of people returned to the time when the base was first established...
"Damn zombies!"
Wei Zhenguo wiped his eyes.
When the virus broke out and the doomsday came, he didn't cry. Men don't cry easily. But now, seeing the survivors that everyone had worked so hard to save just lost their lives, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Think of it this way - it's a good thing Wang Tao killed the gorilla zombie, otherwise the remaining 300 of us would be dead..."
Ren Jie sighed.
Speaking of the gorilla zombie, everyone looked at Wang Tao. They all wanted to know how Wang Tao killed the gorilla zombie.
Seeing this, Wang Tao simply told the process from the gorilla zombie chasing them to the quagmire to the gorilla zombie's death.
When everyone heard that the gorilla zombie that was about to be killed actually had another form and recovered to full state, they were a little shocked.
"Fortunately you attracted it away! Otherwise, if we were fighting downstairs... we would all be dead!"
Liu He's face turned pale.
After all, Wang Tao just said that the roar of the second form of the gorilla zombie directly shocked Wei Zhenguo and other superpowers to death! The two fat brothers with super high defense and several superpowers in the quagmire had their heads shattered directly!
If they had shouted at the bottom of the complex building, they might have been wiped out!
"Well, how did you kill the gorilla zombie?"
Feng Mingan asked while coughing.
"When I was about to be killed by the gorilla zombie, I met Wu Fei..."
Wang Tao told the story of Wu Fei again, this time in more detail.
Although Wu Fei's original intention was to repay Wang Tao, and others had nothing to do with him, he also indirectly saved the entire Shuize base - Wu Fei is also a hero of the Shuize base, and his name is worth remembering.
"What a man! It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet him..."
Xiang Hongbin clenched his fist, with some regret in his eyes.
"By the way, did you kill the gorilla zombies and get a promotion crystal core?"
Wei Zhenguo asked quickly.
At this point, Wang Tao barely showed a smile on his face.
"Promotion crystal core... Of course! When I recover, I feel that I can be promoted to a second-level mutant!"
"Okay! The gorilla zombie is dead, and you can also be promoted to the second level, then our Shuize base is basically safe!"
When everyone heard this, their faces were finally not so serious.
Wang Tao was not so excited. After all, the cost of the promotion to the second level... is too high!
"The most urgent task is to rebuild the base quickly! The wall must be reinforced..."
Wang Tao said with a serious face.
To be frank, most of the people who died this time were weak, and those who survived were strong. So when it comes to rebuilding the base, although there are fewer people, the speed should not be too slow...
"Yes! Next, you can prepare for the second-level promotion with peace of mind! Leave the reconstruction task to us!"
Ren Jie spoke immediately.
"That's right, just prepare for the promotion with peace of mind..."
Others also agreed.
"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you!"
Wang Tao nodded solemnly.
...
At night, the crazy zombies outside have not left yet.
In an office, the floor is covered with sheets and mats.
Han Rui has fallen asleep. She is sleepy and tired, so she fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Ding Yuqin and Li Qiuyu lie together, talking to each other.
Wang Tao sits aside, silently checking the spoils of killing two second-level zombies.
