Chapter 167 A Pancake

Night fell.

Xu Xiaojun looked at Wang Tao.

"Brother Wang, I'll go with you. My injury has healed!"

"No, you're too weak."

Wang Tao shook his head.

"..."

Xu Xiaojun was a little embarrassed.

In fact, it wasn't that Xu Xiaojun was too weak. It was mainly because he couldn't see at night and couldn't keep up with Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue. Otherwise, it would be okay to let him carry a bag.

Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun to rest here, and he and Jiang Shixue climbed to the roof together.

From dusk to night today, there was still no change near the granary.

Wang Tao felt that those bloody zombies should only appear when the night really came.

The cool breeze at night was very refreshing, and Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue waited quietly on the roof.

At a certain moment, dark clouds covered the few stars, and the night became darker.

Jiang Shixue tugged at Wang Tao's clothes.

"It appeared!"

Wang Tao looked in the direction of the sound, and a red figure slowly emerged from the darkness. That familiar figure was the third-level zombie he had seen before!

The bloody zombie did not find Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue on the roof. It circled around the granary, as if searching for something.

Soon, the bloody zombie found the hole.

Seeing the hole, it seemed a little excited, but it did not go in, but walked somewhere else.

It did "walk", just like an ordinary zombie, wandering outside. If you don't pay attention, you might really mistake it for an ordinary zombie.

"Why do I feel like it's fishing..."

Wang Tao complained.

If someone didn't pay attention and startled it, it would definitely burst out with amazing speed in an instant and pounce on the target!

Wang Tao and the others waited for a long time, and saw that the bloody zombie was still wandering around. Except for it, other bloody zombies did not appear.

"Let's go somewhere else first."

Wang Tao said to Jiang Shixue beside him.

"Okay~"

Wang Tao came out tonight not only to see if this third-level zombie was there, but also to find the green pus-filled zombie.

After all, the defense of the pustules zombies at night is very low, and they have no attack ability. If you can encounter them, it will be a good experience pack for Wang Tao.

Although you may encounter the third-level blood zombies when attacking the pustules zombies, as long as they are not besieged, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue will definitely be able to run.

During the day today, Wang Tao has tested his combat boots. He can only say that they are very strong!

Originally, his speed was not as good as Jiang Shixue's, but now after wearing this pair of shoes, Wang Tao's speed is on par with Jiang Shixue.

He doesn't even have 10,000 blood now, while Jiang Shixue has nearly 20,000 blood. It is enough to see the power of this pair of shoes.

With this life-saving equipment, although Wang Tao still can't compete with the third-level zombies, it is not a big problem to escape.

The two carefully searched around and did not see the green pustules zombies. But they saw a second-level zombie.

"Second-level violent terrorist!"

Seeing the big guy holding a huge axe, Wang Tao was suddenly a little excited.

He had seen a lot of first-level terrorists, but he had never seen a second-level terrorist.

To be precise, except for the gorilla zombie, Wang Tao seemed to have never seen other zombies that were promoted from the first level to the second level.

Wang Tao had never seen second-level zombies such as terrorists, charge zombies, and self-detonators.

The second-level zombies Wang Tao saw seemed to be originally second-level, such as toad zombies and pus-filled zombies.

Wang Tao was a little worried. What if these zombies could not be promoted to the second level, then what would happen to his crystal core?

After all, his shock wave and precision shooting were originally the abilities of first-level zombies.

Fortunately, now he saw a second-level terrorist, which made Wang Tao feel relieved. It should be that there are fewer second-level zombies for the time being, and he just didn't encounter them.

Wang Tao was going to hunt this second-level terrorist, but for safety reasons, he and Jiang Shixue dealt with all the other ordinary zombies around.

After all, there are level 3 zombies outside now. If other zombies make a noise and attract level 3 zombies, it will be troublesome.

Wang Tao looked at this level 2 terrorist.

[HP: 10000/10000]

[Mana: 2000/2000]

[Level: Level 2 Elite]

The level 2 terrorist is much larger than the level 1 one. It is estimated to be about 2.56 meters tall, with a naked upper body and muscular body. However, it is not a reinforced concrete sledgehammer or a street lamp, but a simple and worn-out metal-colored two-handed axe, which is full of oppression!

But its attributes are average, with only 10,000 HP and 2,000 mana.

Of course, this average is relative to Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue. If it is for an ordinary superpower like Xu Xiaojun with about 2,000 HP, this zombie is still very scary.

Wang Tao rushed towards the terrorist.

He is now very fast and was discovered when he was close to the back of the terrorist.

The terrorist roared, raised his axe with both hands, and was about to attack Wang Tao.

"Too late!"

Wang Tao chopped the zombie's head with his axe.

Bang!

[-2251]

[7749/10000]

The terrorist's defense was still relatively high, and Wang Tao only chopped off 2,000 HP with his full strength axe.

Wang Tao retreated after chopping. When the axe of the violent terrorist was about to fall, a ball of white mucus suddenly appeared and stuck to the violent terrorist in an instant. The axe in the violent terrorist's hand could not fall to the ground.

The violent terrorist's attack made too much noise. Wang Tao was afraid of attracting the third-level zombies, so he used a mucus grenade.

The mucus grenade can only stick to the violent terrorist for a few seconds, but this time is enough. Jiang Shixue attacked, and Wang Tao finished the knife. After the effect of the mucus disappeared, the violent terrorist fell to the ground.

Wang Tao quickly put away the spoils and took a look at his health bar.

[9950/9950]

When Wang Tao was looking for the traces of the third-level zombies today, he encountered several first-level elite zombies. After killing them, his health was improved.

This violent terrorist provided him with a health limit of 260, which was almost 10,000!

Wang Tao looked at the spoils again.

A crystal core and a package.

[Second-order crystal core·Shockwave]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Eyes are afraid of light)]

Finally, I have a second-order shockwave crystal core, but unfortunately, the purity of the second-order crystal core is 5% lower than that of the first-order. After the two crystal cores are synthesized, there are still 10% impurities. Impurities have side effects. Impurities don't matter, but Wang Tao definitely can't have this side effect.

I can only continue to save, and save enough three shockwave crystal cores before synthesizing.

Wang Tao looked at the terrorist package, and the contents of the package surprised him.

[Improved old and worn-out axe manufacturing drawings*1]

[Improved old and worn-out axe manufacturing drawings: can make a two-handed axe, the required materials: two-handed axe 1 (the quality of the core material will affect the quality of the final molding), second-order crystal core 1, iron block 10, steel wire 10, gear 10, sharp blade 10, nail 10, screw 10]

[Improved old and worn-out axe: unknown attributes]

It turned out to be a weapon manufacturing drawing!

For so long, Wang Tao has only seen one weapon manufacturing blueprint, which is the previous precision crossbow manufacturing blueprint. This blueprint is the second one he has seen.

However, the blueprint for making this giant axe weapon requires a lot of materials, and it actually requires a second-level zombie crystal core! The things he made with the blueprint before, in addition to potions and grenade bombs, only the food compressor requires a crystal core.

Moreover, this blueprint also reminds you that the quality of the core material will affect the finished product. And this core material is the two-handed axe.

Wang Tao does not have a weapon like a two-handed axe in his hand - no, it seems to have!

He looked at the body of the terrorist, and a huge axe fell beside it. He almost forgot about it!

[Diablo Giant Axe*1]

This axe is also like the weapons dropped by other zombies. It only shows the name, not the specific attributes.

Wang Tao has a lot of materials on him, including crystal cores. Now he has the core material axe. Wang Tao looked at the manufacturing blueprint again, and a "can be made" prompt appeared on it.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue walked around the area and found no other second-level zombies, not even the first-level elite zombies.

Wang Tao found a relatively closed room and walked in together.

There were only a few ordinary zombies in the room, and Wang Tao easily dealt with them.

Then Wang Tao took out the giant axe and other materials and prepared to start making.

As for the zombie crystal core, Wang Tao chose a weak poison mist crystal core of ordinary quality.

He had quite a few second-level crystal cores, the most of which were weak poison mist crystal cores, a total of 14.

These were obtained when the toad zombies attacked the Shuize base with more than ten second-level weak poison mist zombies.

When Wang Tao and Han Rui separated, they left many first-level crystal cores to them, but Wang Tao took the second-level crystal cores himself. These weak poison mist crystal cores were also in Wang Tao's hands.

After the materials were prepared, Wang Tao moved his mind and a burst of colorful light flashed.

All the materials disappeared, and a two-handed giant axe with a similar appearance to the giant axe dropped by the violent terrorist appeared.

The axe is two meters long, with a plain appearance and even several gaps, which really lives up to the word "shabby" in its name.

[Improved Shabby Giant Axe]

[Level 2 (Excellent)]

[Attack Power +30, Durability +30, Attack Speed ​​- (5%~50%)]

The attributes of this axe are somewhat beyond Wang Tao's expectations. It actually has levels!

The weapons that Wang Tao made using drawings before had no levels.

Could it be because a second-level crystal core was added during the production of this weapon?

Wang Tao thinks this should be the reason.

However, he added a second-level ordinary quality crystal core, but this weapon is of excellent quality. In addition, there is no hint on the manufacturing diagram that the quality of the crystal core is related to the finished weapon... Wang Tao guessed that the quality of the crystal core should have nothing to do with the finished weapon. It should all depend on luck.

The attack power of this giant axe has been increased by 30 points. There is no attack power on Wang Tao's attribute panel, so he is not sure what level this 30 points is.

But the precision crossbow Wang Tao made before had an attack power of +10, and that crossbow could no longer keep up with his strength, so he gave it to Ding Yuqin.

This giant axe has an attack power of 30, so it should be stronger than the previous precision crossbow, right?

The second attribute is +30 durability, which Wang Tao knows is very powerful.

Because so far, Wang Tao has only worn out one piece of equipment. It was the previous security uniform that was destroyed while fighting the black fog monster and escaping for his life. And the durability of that security uniform is +1... You can imagine how durable this 30 durability attribute is.

As for the final reduction in attack speed, the reason why there is a floating range, Wang Tao guessed, is that it varies from person to person. People with strong strength will lose less attack speed, people with weak strength will lose more attack speed, and people with even smaller strength may not be able to lift it.

Wang Tao tried it and found that the ax was very heavy. The previous reinforced concrete sledgehammers, street lamps, etc. are incomparable.

He was able to swing it, but it became a bit difficult to use it for a long time.

"What a big ax!"

Jiang Shixue said from the side.

"Xiaoxue, come and try?"

Wang Tao suddenly thought that there was a very strong person beside him.

"Okay~"

Jiang Shixue took it, imitated Wang Tao's movements, and waved it a few times. It feels like she is more relaxed than Wang Tao.

However, Jiang Shixue frowned.

"I don't like this ax affecting my speed."

Jiang Shixue does not have a special speed ability, but her speed is not slow. She often relies on her speed to launch attacks. If she uses this ax, it might be weakened.

"Well, I'll find you a better weapon in the future."

Wang Tao rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair.

This ax also affects his mobility, but he has a space backpack, which he can put in when not in use and take out when in use. So there is no problem with portability.

Of course, in actual combat, this weapon is indeed too heavy, which affects his performance a bit. It is best to use it as a special move.

Wang Tao put away his weapon and walked around the area with Jiang Shixue, looking for a zombie to try out the new weapon.

Unfortunately, due to bad luck, the two of them wandered outside until late at night. Not to mention the second-level zombies, they couldn't even touch the first-level elite zombies.

Wang Tao was a little helpless.

"Forget it, let's go back and see if the third-level zombie has returned to its nest."

"Okay~"

Before the two came to the vicinity of the granary, they suddenly saw fire appearing in the distance.

In the dark night, the fire was very obvious.

"That over there... Fish Bay Camp? Did something happen to them?"

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows, that was the direction of Yuwan Camp.

However, Wang Tao doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, especially because there are only two people in the entire Yuwan camp who have a good impression on him. One is Boss Lu, who is dead, and one is Xu Xiaojun by his side...

When you come to the granary again, you can see the bloody zombie still wandering around.

Wang Tao didn't dare to go any further. After all, he and Jiang Shixue combined couldn't defeat this third-level zombie.

The two returned to the small building where they were staying before.

"Huh? Where is Xu Xiaojun?"

Wang Tao found that Xu Xiaojun was missing.

There is a line of words carved crookedly on the wall.

"Brother Wang, something happened in the camp, I'm going back."

Wang Tao was speechless.

A normal person would have severed ties with them when they were abandoned by the camp.

As a result, Xu Xiaojun went back.

If you go back, just go back. It's not impossible to endure it for a while. But after Xu Xiaojun returned, he was humiliated and slandered and took the blame. He didn't take action on the spot, which is considered a bodhisattva's heart. If it were Wang Tao, he would definitely let those people know why the flowers are so red.

As a result, in the middle of the night, when he saw something happened at the camp, Xu Xiaojun ran over again... Could it be that he was a licking dog and thought he was not injured deeply enough?

Wang Tao really couldn't understand it.

But again, let go of helping others and respect the fate of others. Xu Xiaojun really wanted to die, and Wang Tao couldn't stop him.

The two continued to monitor the granary until dawn.

Wang Tao clearly saw that before dawn, the third-level bloody zombie crawled back through the hole!

"very good!"

A smile appeared on Wang Tao's face. Knowing the lair of this third-level zombie, he didn't have to worry anymore. He tried slowly, and there was always a way to force the zombie out!

He wanted to see how much strength this third-level zombie would weaken if it came out during the day! If the strength is reduced too much, then he and Jiang Shixue will not be polite!

In the morning, Wang Tao caught up on his sleep.

Although after improving in strength, the requirements for sleep are not so high, and occasionally staying up late will have no impact at all. But Wang Tao's next target is level three zombies, so he must be more cautious.

At noon, Jiang Shixue woke up Wang Tao.

"The big fat guy is here."

Looking at Xu Xiaojun, who was dirty and injured again, Wang Tao was a little funny.

"You must have been kicked out again, right?"

Xu Xiaojun looked a little embarrassed and a little sad.

"Everyone...is dead..."

"Huh? Are they all dead? What's going on?"

Wang Tao's face became serious.

"Last night, in order to celebrate the appointment of the new boss, they held an induction ceremony... and ended up attracting the two terrifying zombies from the underground granary! The obstacles in the camp could not stop these two zombies at all, and there was no one in the camp. If you can resist, then there will be a massacre..."

"When I passed by, almost everyone was dead. Only Li Yi jumped into the water and escaped temporarily, but half of his body was eaten by the fish in the lake, leaving only the upper half of his body... These are all Li Yi told me before he died..."

After listening to Xu Xiaojun's words, Wang Tao felt a little sad.

It’s really possible to escape the first grade of junior high school, but not the fifteenth grade!

Before, those people encountered the third-level bloody zombies and abandoned Xu Xiaojun to save his life. As a result, now they have paid back everything with interest.

After sighing, Wang Tao suddenly looked at Xu Xiaojun and said:

"I am curious, since they all abandoned you, why did you go back to save them?"

Is it possible that Xu Xiaojun is really a fool who can't tell good from bad?

Xu Xiaojun looked at Wang Tao, then lowered his head and said:

"...When the virus broke out, my family all sacrificed themselves to protect me. I escaped by chance, but I had no food at the time and was about to starve to death. Uncle Lu, the father of Boss Lu, passed by and gave me a pancake..."

"After that, I met Uncle Lu again by chance. After knowing that Uncle Lu's son had a survivor camp, I followed Uncle Lu to the Yuwan camp. Later, Uncle Lu was infected. Before he died, he asked me to help Boss Lu manage the Yuwan camp, and I agreed..."

"I don't know how to manage the camp, I can only do it the way I know - I want to gain their favor, I try my best to protect them, and I give them most of the supplies I have looted... I want to be worthy of the pancake Uncle Lu gave me. But... I really tried my best."
