Chapter 165 Abandonment

"You were abandoned by them.

Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke with some heartache.

"yes……"

Xu Xiaojun nodded with empty eyes.

Jiang Shixue looked up at Wang Tao. She had some vague memories about Wang Tao in her head. She couldn't remember the specific details, but she knew that it was Wang Tao who rescued her.

If it weren't for Wang Tao, she would be dead. She was not abandoned.

Wang Tao felt Jiang Shixue's gaze and immediately rubbed her hair, then asked Xu Xiaojun:

"Then how did you survive here?"

Xu Xiaojun closed his eyes and looked a little painful.

"At that time, many people died. The three zombies seemed to be afraid of the light. They did not chase them out, but were eating the corpses of my companions. I took advantage of the chaos and ran away. I had a chance to escape... I was watching After the door was locked, I endured the discomfort and hid among the flesh and blood... I don't know if it was contaminated by the breath of flesh and blood, but these zombies didn't notice me..."

"But I know this is not a solution, and I will be discovered sooner or later. Just when I was thinking about it, I found that these zombies seemed to be missing... I boldly went out to take a look, and saw that there was a door leading to the outside. The entrance of the cave..."

"I thought I could escape, and I was about to climb out of the hole. But one of the zombies was outside, and it found me! I had no choice but to use everything available in this granary. The hole is blocked."

"I don't know if the zombies on the flesh and blood will wake up. I know that I am no match for them, so I blocked myself in it. I want to die with dignity... When I wake up again , I saw you, Brother Wang..."

After listening to Xu Xiaojun's explanation, Wang Tao finally understood the whole story.

To put it simply, Boss Lu and the others came to the underground warehouse and encountered zombies bleeding all over their bodies. They were almost wiped out.

If it weren't for Xu Xiaojun's queen and these zombies who only cared about eating... these people would probably have died.

But they abandoned Xu Xiaojun, who could only hide and save himself. When he found out that the zombies had left, he prepared to escape, but the zombies were right outside the cave entrance. He had no choice but to block the cave entrance.

Xu Xiaojun couldn't see the zombie's health bar, and he didn't know that the undeveloped zombie in the flesh had no attack ability. So he was afraid that these zombies would wake up, so he didn't dare to attack. So he blocked everything around him and prepared for a decent death.

But at this time, Wang Tao came...

"You really know people, faces but not hearts!"

Wang Tao sighed with emotion.

He felt that Boss Lu was a smart man and would not do such a thing as abandoning his teammates - not to say how kind-hearted he was, but to say that as a boss, if he abandoned his teammates in full view of the public, what would happen to others? think?

Even if he was just showing off, he still had to try his best to help Xu Xiaojun.

After Xu Xiaojun heard Wang Tao's emotion, he suddenly said:

"Boss Lu...is dead..."

"..."

Okay, then that makes sense...it turns out he is dead!

Wang Tao was a little embarrassed. He had said before that Boss Lu had very good hidden attributes and could warn of danger in advance. But now it seems that this ability is not omnipotent!

Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun some details about the zombies.

"There is another one, three in total... afraid of light... they stay in the nest during the day and go out at night..."

Wang Tao touched his chin. He didn't expect that there was another one. It's a good thing they didn't encounter it, otherwise they might be in trouble.

And Wang Tao didn't expect that this kind of third-level zombie has such an obvious weakness... Its fear of light is even worse than that of the Violent Terror.

It is afraid of light, but only its eyes are afraid of light, but it can move freely outside during the day.

And this bloody zombie never comes out during the day. Even when Boss Lu and the others made some noise outside, the zombies still stayed in the lair... Apparently they are more afraid of light than the Violent Terrorists!

Then can he take advantage of this weakness... After all, this is a third-level zombie!

Wang Tao was a little greedy.

But it was night now, and except for a flashlight, he had no other luminous things. He didn't know if the light of the flashlight would work... It would be nice if he could find where they were during the day.

"Dong dong dong——"

Outside the cave entrance, there were sounds of collisions from time to time.

Xu Xiaojun was a little nervous, but Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were relatively calm. Xu Xiaojun blocked the entrance of the cave very tightly, making it impossible for zombies to enter.

Wang Tao took out several bottles of nutrient solution, handed them to Xu Xiaojun and said:

"Eat something and then rest. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow day."

"Okay, thank you!"

Xu Xiaojun took it gratefully.

He didn't know what it was, but Wang Tao would definitely not harm him, so he just poured it into his mouth.

Sweet and sour, quite delicious.

After a while, Xu Xiaojun felt that his body had regained strength. He was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. After confirming again that Wang Tao didn't need him to work the night shift, he lay down directly on the ground. After a while, a slight snoring sound could be heard.

Wang Tao thinks this Xu Xiaojun is quite interesting. After experiencing this incident, he seems to stop stuttering?

Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue.

"Xiaoxue, you should also take a rest."

Jiang Shixue was also injured in the previous battle with the bloody zombies. Although Wang Tao used a medical kit for her, there were still some injuries that needed to be recovered slowly.

"Okay~"

Jiang Shixue leaned directly on Wang Tao's shoulder. After a moment, she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable. She lifted Wang Tao's hand and put it on her shoulder, and then closed her eyes with satisfaction.

Wang Tao smiled and gently hugged Jiang Shixue's shoulder, but his mind was already in the space backpack.

Tonight was very dangerous, but the harvest was also great.

First of all, the harvest from killing the green pus zombie.

That was a second-level lord zombie, so for Wang Tao, it was a cross-level kill.

Wang Tao's upper limit of blood volume increased directly by 2760! Now it has reached 9590, and it is only more than 400 away from 10,000.

After being promoted to the second level, when you get a thousand full blood, your physical fitness will be slightly improved.

However, you need to sleep to improve it at the first level, but you don't need to do it after the second level. It will be improved after a moment of getting blood volume, which is much more convenient than before. I just don't know if it will be forced to sleep again when the HP is 10,000...

Besides, since this pus zombie was killed by a higher level, it naturally has special energy. The added special energy is the same as the HP, which is 2760!

Wang Tao's current special energy is 3240!

If he can kill another pus zombie, he can collect 5,000 special energy and synthesize a second-level superpower again!

Continue to look at the other spoils of this pus zombie-

100 zombie culture fluids, a crystal core and three packages.

Wang Tao didn't expect that this pus zombie actually had zombie culture fluid!

Then Wang Tao remembered that when he was about to kill the pus zombie, a blood-colored zombie suddenly came out and stopped him.

So can it be suspected that this pus zombie is also the target of the blood-colored zombie? Or, are the two of them in a cooperative relationship?

After all, zombie culture fluid is used to cultivate zombies, and these blood-colored zombies are breeding new zombies in their nests...Wang Tao thinks this is very possible!

The pus-filled zombie exploded with 100 zombie culture fluids, which was much less than the 1,000 that the green-eyed zombie encountered before.

Wang Tao naturally couldn't use these culture fluids, but Jiang Shixue could still use them now.

After rescuing Jiang Shixue last time, Wang Tao tried Jiang Shixue's attitude towards zombie cultivation again. Wang Tao felt that this zombie culture fluid smelled bad, but Jiang Shixue felt it smelled good... and she said that she felt that this thing could enhance her strength!

However, she couldn't use it unlimitedly. After using it once, she had to rest for a while.

Now Jiang Shixue can continue to use it, but Wang Tao and her have been on the road. They only rested for one day at the Yuwan camp and had no time to use it.

Wang Tao was going to find a time to let Jiang Shixue cultivate it. After all, the last time he used the zombie culture fluid, he directly added 1,000 blood to Jiang Shixue, and her physical fitness was also strengthened in all directions...

Wang Tao looked at the crystal core that exploded from the pus-filled zombie.

[Second-order crystal core·Eat rot]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: The body will undergo some kind of deformation)]

[Eat rot: The digestive system is strengthened, saliva can digest the zombie virus with reduced activity in the rotten body, the esophagus will not be infected by the zombie virus, and the stomach sac can absorb the energy of the rotten body]

Wang Tao feels that the ability to eat rotten... is a magical skill!

After all, in the end times, resources are scarce, and you have to go to the city to plunder or grow them yourself. If you have this ability to eat rotten, you don’t have to worry about starving to death.

Because after learning this ability, you are not afraid of the zombie virus in the rotten body! After all, zombies are everywhere, and if you kill an ordinary zombie casually, you can probably eat it for a long time.

But the question is, can humans accept eating rotten corpses themselves?

If it is an animal corpse, it’s okay. It’s disgusting, but if you are really hungry, you can eat it with your nose pinched.

But zombies are transformed from humans... This is not only an impact on the five senses, but also an impact on the mind. How many people can accept eating zombies themselves?

Wang Tao's evaluation of this crystal core is: it is a magical skill, but he doesn't want it.

I will go to the large survivor base in the future to see if I can trade with others. Wang Tao believes that there must be someone who likes this ability.

Anyway, he can't accept eating zombies, even if he won't be infected with the zombie virus.

Then the pus zombie exploded with three packages.

The first package contained the long-lost crystal core gift package, a total of five crystal cores!

[Second-level crystal core·Almighty]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: None)]

The first one is a second-level all-powerful crystal core, and it is of excellent quality!

Wang Tao had three second-level all-powerful crystal cores in his hand before, which were ordinary (20%), refined (40%), and excellent (60%). If this one is added, two epic crystal cores can be synthesized!

Of course, since this is a second-level crystal core, the purity is only 45%. If only two crystal cores are used for synthesis, 10% of impurities will remain. But Wang Tao is not afraid now, after all, he still has five bottles of cleansing potions that can reduce impurities in the body.

[Second-level crystal core·Running]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: consumes double physical strength)]

[Running: Passive ability, running speed increased]

The second crystal core is a running crystal core that Wang Tao has never seen before. This crystal core is the same as the powerful crystal core, and both are passive abilities.

Wang Tao thinks this crystal core is not bad. If it is integrated with this ability, it can enhance a strong life-saving ability.

[Second-level crystal core·Timed defense]

[Quality: Excellent (40%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Defense greatly reduced at night)]

[Timed defense: Passive ability, defense increased during the day, defense unchanged at night]

The third crystal core is also a passive ability.

This timed defense ability made Wang Tao's eyes light up. After all, Wang Tao has seen how strong the defense of this pus zombie is.

If he knows this timed defense, combined with the barrier ability, I wonder if the defense can reach the level of the pus zombie.

However, the side effect of greatly reducing defense at night is a bit big.

Timed defense itself does not increase defense at night, and this side effect reduces defense at night, so night becomes a weakness.

No wonder Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue's damage increased so much when they attacked this pus zombie at night.

If Wang Tao wants to merge this ability, he can only get three crystal cores to get rid of this side effect.

[Second-level crystal core·Perception]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Non-female fusion, perception ability weakened by 50%)]

[Perception: Consume energy, perceive surrounding life forms]

The fourth crystal core is actually a perception crystal core!

In the past few months since the apocalypse, Wang Tao has only seen Han Rui with perception ability, and her perception ability is only +1. In the future, she may have to rely on the almighty crystal core to increase her level, because there are too few perception zombies, and Wang Tao has never seen one.

I didn't expect that the pus zombie actually has perception ability!

But Wang Tao feels that the pus zombie's perception ability doesn't seem to be strong? He and Jiang Shixue suddenly launched an attack, and it didn't react...

Wang Tao looked at this side effect again. Only when a woman fuses this crystal core can she exert her full strength, and when a man fuses, it will be weakened by 50%!

So, this pus zombie may be a male zombie?

Wang Tao felt that he was discriminated against. Why should he be weakened by 50% to fuse!

Wang Tao wanted to fuse this crystal core, after all, it was like installing a radar for himself.

But this side effect was too uncomfortable, weakening by 50%!

There was no other way, he could only save it later to see if he could get three crystal cores, remove this side effect and fuse them.

The last one was the promotion crystal core.

[Second-level crystal core·Promotion]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Impurities: 45% (no side effects)]

He was lucky, it was a promotion crystal core of excellent quality. Wang Tao probably won't be able to use it, but this thing is very precious and can be exchanged with others in the future.

The crystal cores in the crystal core gift pack are all good, and it is worth it for Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue to risk their lives to solve it.

Then Wang Tao looked at the other two packages.

The second package was full of potions.

[Running potion (small) * 5]

[Defense potion (small) * 5]

"5 running potions and 5 defense potions, okay."

Although Wang Tao had the recipes for these potions, he lacked key materials and could not make them, so he could only get them through zombies. These 10 potions are enough for a while.

The last package surprised Wang Tao a little. It turned out to be a pair of shoes!

[Running boots manufacturing drawings*1]

[Running boots manufacturing drawings: can make a pair of running boots. Required materials: iron block 5, steel wire 5, screw 5, rope 5, nail 5, rubber 5, plastic 5, cable 5, electronic components 5, battery 5]

[Running boots: durability +10, defense +10, running speed +10]

This pair of shoes actually increased running speed!

This made Wang Tao very happy. Running speed is still very important to him. After all, he does not have special abilities for increasing speed.

The materials needed to make shoes are not many. Wang Tao took out all these materials with a thought.

In the darkness, a burst of colorful light flashed, and a pair of black shoes similar to military boots appeared in front of Wang Tao.

Jiang Shixue had opened her eyes and looked at the shoes with some curiosity. She was a light sleeper, and the movement of the colorful light just now was obviously seen by her.

Wang Tao put on the new shoes and immediately felt that the running boots were much more comfortable than the previous ones!

The speed cannot be tested for the time being, but Wang Tao thinks it should be able to improve a lot. Even if the speed is not improved, the durability and comfort alone are worth it.

Wang Tao saw Jiang Shixue's curious look, so he simply explained to her that this is his new equipment.

Jiang Shixue did not ask much and continued to sleep on Wang Tao's shoulder.

Wang Tao hugged Jiang Shixue's shoulders and looked at the space backpack again. He had seen the spoils of the pus zombies, but he had not seen the three unborn zombies and the bloody package in the zombie nest that he killed.

There were four packages in total.

The packages that exploded from the three unformed zombies had the same contents, three second-level all-powerful crystal cores!

One fine, one excellent, and one outstanding!

This surprised Wang Tao a little. With these three, he could synthesize another epic all-powerful crystal core!

The all-powerful crystal core itself has no side effects, only impurities. After combining two all-powerful crystal cores into an epic all-powerful crystal core, one crystal core will only contain 0.1% impurities.

He calculated that there is 1.1% impurity in his body now. If he can fuse nine 0.1% impurity almighty crystal cores, that is exactly 2% impurity, and he can directly use two bottles of cleaning potion to remove the impurities without any waste!

Now there are only 3 epic almighty crystal cores, keep saving!

As for the thing that burst out of the huge flesh and blood, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

[Second-level crystal core·stripping]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: None)]

[Stripping: After fusion, you can freely choose to strip out a second-level superpower. The stripped superpower will form a new crystal core without side effects]

This stripping...isn't it similar to his extraction ability!

It seems that in addition to the inheritance when the rank is promoted, the stripping crystal core can also replace superpowers! Although he doesn't need it, others will. Wang Tao can already imagine the value of this crystal core!

I just don't know what kind of zombies others have to kill to get this stripping crystal core...
