Chapter 161 The Zombies Have Become Stronger Again
"Mr. Wang, do you have any other instructions? No matter what you want, I can satisfy you~"
Looking at this middle-aged woman who is still pretty and flirting in front of him, Wang Tao smiled slightly.
"Thank you, no, please go back."
The woman's face froze.
She asked again without giving up, and after confirming that Wang Tao really had no other instructions, she left with a look of disappointment.
She was jealous of Wang Tao's muscular appearance! It's a pity that he doesn't like her. Although the girl next to Wang Tao is indeed much prettier than her, she dares to guarantee that she has more experience...
Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief after the woman left.
It was the first time he met such a warm and hospitable woman, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"Brother, I feel that you want to keep her, but why let her go?"
Jiang Shixue suddenly looked at Wang Tao and spoke, with a curious look on her face.
"..."
Wang Tao rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair unhappily.
"Children should not interrupt in adult affairs."
Hearing this, Jiang Shixue was a little confused.
"Didn't my brother say yesterday that I'm not a child now?"
"... Well, because she's not as pretty as Xiaoxue, I don't want her to stay in front of me for a long time."
Wang Tao shrugged.
"Is that so... Thank you for the compliment, brother1"
Jiang Shixue suddenly showed a sweet smile on her face.
Although she didn't remember many common sense things, she was very happy as long as Wang Tao praised her.
Wang Tao didn't care about where he lived, as long as it was clean. Jiang Shixue didn't care either, she still had some zombie habits, and she could sleep anywhere...
After a while, Xu Xiaojun came.
He said he would take Wang Tao around the camp.
Yuwan Camp is actually quite large, with more than 150 people in total. It's like a small society, with people doing all kinds of things.
Food is the hard currency here. As long as you have food, you can almost make everyone serve you. Of course, if you want to do this, you need a lot of food, and few people can do it.
Survivors are the foundation of the camp, but at the same time, they are also the cheapest commodities.
Wang Tao followed Xu Xiaojun to the large hall again and saw many survivors who rented themselves out. There were men, women, young and old.
As long as someone took out food, they would do anything. Of course, this did not include going out to find supplies. After all, if they had the ability to find supplies, they would not rent themselves out here.
It was called renting, but in fact it was selling themselves to powerful people. They were not slaves, after all, there were rules in the camp, but in fact they were almost the same as slaves. Except for their lives, there were no other guarantees.
Yuwan Camp only provided accommodation, not food. If you want food, you either do the work assigned by Boss Lu or find a way yourself.
The camp is so large, there must not be much work, and it is impossible to feed everyone. So they need to find a way to do the rest.
As soon as Wang Tao came over, he was instantly stared at by many such people.
After all, Wang Tao is so burly, even a fool can see that this is a big thick leg!
"Brother, buy me! I can wash clothes, cook and warm the bed..."
"I only need one meal a day, brother, you can ask me to do anything..."
"..."
Looking at these men and women with pale faces, Wang Tao sighed in his heart, but he did not soften his heart, after all, he was not a savior.
Without staying in this place for long, Wang Tao came to the stalls.
Xu Xiaojun told Wang Tao that he heard that this was a stall that would sell good things. But he had not been here much, so he was not very clear.
"Brother, do you want a knife? This is a good knife made abroad! It can cut hair and iron like mud! It is a good helper to kill zombies!"
As soon as he came over, someone sold products to Wang Tao.
Looking at the "good knife" with some gaps on the blade, Wang Tao took a deep look at the man. The man suddenly felt like he was stared at by a beast and almost couldn't breathe.
A second later, the man retreated in a cold sweat.
After Wang Tao left, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had survived a disaster.
"Huh - so strong! He feels scarier than those zombies!"
He just saw a newcomer coming, so he thought of testing him.
Although Boss Lu was very polite to this person, there are stubborn people everywhere. And the rule here is "buy and leave". After the transaction, you can't regret it, including Boss Lu.
But he didn't expect that this person gave him a much scarier feeling than Boss Lu!
Just at that moment, he almost thought he was going to die...
Many people noticed this direction, and when they saw the knife seller being forced back by Wang Tao, they were immediately shocked. This newcomer is really not a good person!
Those who want to cheat or have ideas about the girl next to Wang Tao immediately put away their little tricks.
They can live in Yuwan Camp for so long because of their bright eyes - they will never let go of those who can cheat! They will never provoke those who can't afford to offend! This new big guy obviously belongs to the latter.
Without the blind people coming, Wang Tao feels much more comfortable.
He heard from Xu Xiaojun that there were many stalls here, so he wanted to see if there were any weapons suitable for Jiang Shixue to use.
Maybe it's a habit brought about after becoming a zombie, but Jiang Shixue likes to use her claws when fighting. Although she is not afraid of the zombie virus, her little hands are white and tender, and it would be bad to be injured.
Unfortunately, Wang Tao browsed all these stalls and did not see any suitable weapons.
As for those things like good knives and swords, Wang Tao felt that those things might not be as strong as Jiang Shixue himself. To others, it may be considered a weapon, but to Jiang Shixue, it may be a drag.
But it was not without gain. At the last stall, Wang Tao saw something that surprised him.
"There is actually someone selling crystal cores?"
As if he saw Wang Tao's surprise, the stall owner suddenly smiled and said:
"Brother, let's see if there's anything you like? The price is cheap, and you're innocent! This crystal core represents a superpower! I guarantee you won't be deceived if you don't buy it!"
Seeing this man's enthusiastic look, Wang Tao thought it was a fake crystal nucleus, but when he saw the attributes, it clearly said it was a first-order crystal nucleus!
At this time, the person next to him might want to sell Wang Tao a favor, so he immediately said:
"Brother, please think clearly. These are all white crystal nuclei. According to the military, these are the crystal nuclei with the lowest fusion success rate! And this is not the point. The point is that no one knows what powers these crystal nuclei have. ! As we all know, these powers have side effects. Who knows what side effects they have... Even if the fusion is successful, if it is a power with a weak ability but strong side effects, then you will regret it to death... "
"roll roll roll!"
The stall owner selling crystal cores immediately waved his hand with a look of disgust. But I'm not too angry, because this is a well-known thing, and Wang Tao must also know it. It’s just that it’s very inappropriate to say it like this…
When Wang Tao heard this, he was stunned.
Because he suddenly thought of an issue that he subconsciously ignored - only he could see the properties of the crystal nucleus, but others could not.
When he was at Shuize Base before, he would take a look at the crystal nuclei obtained by everyone in the base to see what properties they had.
The crystal cores used by everyone in the base are also selected by Wang Tao, so they will not have too many side effects or too rubbish abilities.
But without Wang Tao, the result might have been completely different. If they want to know what powers these crystal nuclei will have and what side effects they will have, they have to experiment slowly.
Moreover, the same crystal nucleus has different success rates, which makes it very troublesome to know the specific situation of a crystal nucleus.
This stall owner may be in this situation now.
There are a total of six crystal nuclei placed here, all of which are white crystal nuclei, which have a success rate of 20%.
As long as one of these six crystal cores succeeds, it will be considered a profit, but what if none of them succeed? Blood loss!
This is the reason why no one wants the crystal nuclei he placed - the fusion success rate is too low, and the specific abilities and side effects of the crystal nuclei are unknown.
Of course, there is the most important point - the price he sells is high, and it takes a lot of food to exchange for a crystal core.
If the price is lower, then naturally some people will be willing to take the risk. But with such a high price, it's not worth taking the risk.
"How about it? Dude, do you want to buy two and give it a try? I think you must be a superpower, right? Then you have the experience of successful fusion, and the success rate of fusion will definitely be much higher!"
The stall owner was obviously talking nonsense, and Wang Tao didn't care. He asked curiously:
"Why do you have so many crystal nuclei in your hand?"
This person is not a superpower, and he doesn't seem to be able to collect so many crystal nuclei.
"Hi! Boss Lu is my cousin!"
The man scratched his head in embarrassment.
Wang Tao suddenly realized that this makes sense.
"I want these six crystal cores."
"Ah?" Hearing Wang Tao's words, the man was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Brother, with all due respect, do you have so much food? I don't think you brought so much food!"
"It's true that I don't have food, but I do have this. Is this enough?"
Wang Tao took it out and killed the charging zombie today to get the red crystal core.
This time, not only the cousin Lu was stunned, but also everyone else around him.
"...No, buddy, are you kidding me? Are you sure you want to exchange this red charge crystal core for my six white crystal cores?"
The stall owner was in disbelief.
This is a red crystal core, and a red crystal core whose function he knows! Because there are people in their base who can charge!
The value of this crystal core far exceeds that of other crystal nuclei!
"Just tell me whether you want to change it or not?"
"Change!"
After confirming that Wang Tao was not joking, the stall owner nodded instantly.
So, Wang Tao used one red charge crystal core in exchange for six junk white crystal cores.
This exchange immediately attracted the attention of many people, and many people envied and congratulated the stall owner in advance for becoming a superpower. Wang Tao didn't stay long. After making sure there was nothing worthy of his attention, he left.
The reason why he replaced these six crystal cores was because they were two "all-powerful" crystal cores, two "self-healing" crystal cores and two "precision shooting" crystal cores!
Almighty, self-healing and precise shooting are relatively rare, which is a huge gain for him, after all, he can synthesize.
And this incident also reminded Wang Tao that if he had the opportunity to go to a crowded survivor base in the future and encounter those crystal nuclei he didn't recognize, maybe he could catch them?
Of course, it is too far to think about these things now. Wang Tao has come all the way, and this Yuwan camp is the largest gathering place of survivors he has encountered so far. It is still difficult to encounter a large survivor base...
After settling down temporarily in the Yuwan base, Wang Tao originally planned to go to the granary to see the second-level zombies the next day.
If the opponent is not very strong, he can solve it directly. After all, Wang Tao is still in need of second-level crystal cores.
As a result, when he woke up, the sky was clear.
Boss Lu had been preparing to go to the granary for a long time, but it was delayed because it had been raining. He originally thought that since Wang Tao had joined, he could go there in the rain.
But he didn't expect that the weather would be good and it would be clear!
That's just right, it's better to go today than to choose a day!
Anyway, it has been raining heavily these days, and many survivors have not gone out, and the combat power of the camp is at its peak.
So Boss Lu immediately invited Wang Tao and said that he would go directly to the granary today. Wang Tao certainly had no objection.
Soon, a large group of people gathered in the camp. Xu Xiaojun, Yu Wei and others were also there.
However, Yu Wei and the others were a little afraid to look directly at Wang Tao, and they didn't know what happened.
Boss Lu stood in the middle of the hall, said some inspiring words, and then briefly introduced Wang Tao.
He said that Wang Tao was their foreign aid, and Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun were the main forces of this battle, and everyone should try their best to cooperate with them.
Everyone was not surprised by this.
After all, Boss Lu had warned everyone last night that Wang Tao was a strong man and must not be offended.
So even if some people were dissatisfied in their hearts, they would not show it, but applauded fiercely.
After the mobilization meeting, Boss Lu came to Wang Tao again and said apologetically:
"Mr. Wang, I found that some people might not have a good attitude towards you yesterday, so I taught them a lesson yesterday. I hope you don't mind..."
"... It's okay."
To be honest, Wang Tao didn't know who Boss Lu was talking about. After all, not everyone is qualified to be remembered by Wang Tao.
Boss Lu saw that Wang Tao was indeed not angry, and he was relieved immediately.
The mentality of the strong is different!
Last night, he found that Yu Wei was spreading the news that Wang Tao had a red crystal core in the camp. And that red crystal core was traded by Wang Tao to his cousin. After one night, his cousin has become a superpower!
Isn't this equivalent to Wang Tao giving him the crystal core!
Boss Lu immediately found Yu Wei to investigate, fearing that there would be some conflict between them and Wang Tao.
Fortunately, Wang Tao might not care about a small character like Yu Wei. This made Boss Lu feel relieved, as long as it was not a big conflict.
Soon, everyone was ready. If Wang Tao is not counted, there are a total of 30 people going out this time, which is basically the strongest 30 people in the base.
If these people still can't take down the zombie, then there is really nothing they can do...
"Mr. Wang, are you going to take your sister with you?"
Seeing Wang Tao holding Jiang Shixue, Boss Lu was a little confused. Is it really appropriate to take a girl who is powerless to such a dangerous thing?
"Yeah."
Wang Tao didn't explain too much.
You can't say that all of you combined are not enough to beat Jiang Shixue alone, right?
"Okay!"
Since Wang Tao is fine, Boss Lu will not say more. Maybe Wang Tao's sister is also a superpower... Although she doesn't look like one at all.
Boss Lu personally led everyone out of the camp.
They didn't have a car, so they walked there. Even if they had a car, they didn't dare to drive, after all, the rain has stopped now, and the zombies' weakened perception has returned.
Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue's little hand and walked in the middle of the team. The style of the two of them was completely different from that of the others, like an outing. As a result, other people looked over here frequently.
Not long after leaving the camp, several ordinary zombies appeared.
This kind of small character naturally does not need superpowers to take action, and those ordinary people with 1,000 blood immediately went up.
But what people didn't expect was that it should have been easy for them to deal with these ordinary zombies, but it took them a long time to solve them.
Boss Lu's face suddenly looked a little bad, and he felt a little embarrassed in front of Wang Tao.
Wang Tao frowned.
Because, the blood volume of these zombies has increased again!
Before, these ordinary zombies had 1000 blood, and now, they have 2000 blood!
The reason why it is said "has increased again" is that the blood volume of these zombies has increased once.
When the virus broke out, the minimum blood volume of ordinary zombies was 500.
After a heavy rain, the minimum blood volume of ordinary zombies became 1000.
And now, after another heavy rain, the blood volume of ordinary zombies has become 2000!
Could it be that every time there is a heavy rain, the blood volume of zombies doubles?
If this is the case, can other humans keep up with this evolution speed...
After killing these ordinary zombies, the team continued to move forward.
After that, no zombies were encountered, after all, this place is remote and there are not many people. When we were about to reach the granary, we finally encountered a group of ordinary zombies again, about a dozen.
But this time, there were not only zombies with 2000 blood, but also ordinary zombies with 2500 or even 3000 blood!
The team's speed was slowed down all of a sudden.
Boss Lu finally felt something was wrong. He personally fought with these ordinary zombies, and then he found that these zombies suddenly became very difficult to fight!
He was a superpower, but it took him a lot of time to kill an ordinary zombie...
This made him look very ugly. He suddenly felt unsure about the hunting of the granary zombies this time.
But we have come here, it would be a big loss to go back...
"Since we are here, let's go and take a look first!"
After making up his mind, Boss Lu continued to lead the team forward.
Soon, everyone came to the vicinity of the granary.
Wang Tao didn't see where the granary was at first, after all, there were buildings around, but he saw the second-level zombies at a glance, and it was not just one as Boss Lu said, but three!
They were all wearing work clothes, as if they were originally staff members in the granary.
[HP: 10000/10000]
[Mana: 4000/4000]
[Level: Second-level Elite]
The three zombies all have 10,000 HP!
Wang Tao grinned, he was lucky today!
