Chapter 245 He Jijun
Wang Tao heard the gunshots, which made him a little excited.
There is a military base here. If he heard the gunshots here, wouldn't it be very likely that he encountered soldiers?
Wang Tao immediately asked Yang Changhong to drive the car in the direction of the gunshots.
"Are you sure you really heard the gunshots?"
Yang Changhong was a little unsure. She really didn't hear anything just now. It's not that her ears are not good, but it was raining, windy and thundering. In such a noisy environment, it is difficult to distinguish other sounds.
"It should be gunshots, but I'm not sure. Let's take a look first."
Wang Tao nodded.
He and Jiang Shixue studied it for some time and finally set their sights on another asphalt road.
"The sound probably came from here. Let's look for it!"
The two cars began to search slowly along the asphalt road.
At a certain moment, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue looked at one place at the same time.
At the same time, there was a "bang" and a bullet hit the roadside where Wang Tao was sitting.
Yang Changhong and his companions immediately became alert, and then they saw a white-bearded old man wearing a knitted hat among the abandoned vehicles. He held a shotgun in his hand and pointed it at the vehicles, with a faint blue smoke coming out of the muzzle.
"Why are you following me?"
The old man's eyes were like eagles, staring at Wang Tao's two cars.
When Wang Tao saw this old man, he was surprised.
This turned out to be an ordinary person with 1000 HP!
[HP: 896/1000]
[Status: Corrosive acid rain, the body is slightly corroded, and it can be restored to normal after a certain period of rest]
[Mana: 0/0]
[Level: None]
[Hidden attribute: Old and strong]
[Old and strong: physical and mental strength are not limited by age]
In this Wuyang city area where it is said that even if a superpower comes, he will die, and he actually saw an ordinary person?
Although he has a shotgun in his hand, can he survive here with just this shotgun?
You know, the sound of gunfire can attract zombies!
However, this old man has a hidden attribute called "old and strong", which looks pretty good. This may be one of the reasons why he can live to this day.
"Old man, don't get me wrong. I have no ill intentions!"
Wang Tao did not get out of the car, and his voice came from inside the car.
After all, this old man has a gun in his hand, and he is very alert. Although Wang Tao is strong, there is no need to fight the bullet.
"No ill intentions? Then you go."
The old man's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more. He obviously didn't want to cause trouble.
Wang Tao definitely couldn't leave.
Since he left Duzhu Town, he hasn't seen a single human survivor along the way. Now he finally saw someone, he has to get to know him. And Wang Tao is quite interested in this old man himself.
"Old man, we really have no ill intentions. And forgive me for being blunt, if I really have ill intentions, you can't stop it."
Hearing Wang Tao's words, the old man sneered.
"Hehe, then you can try, is your speed faster, or my bullet faster!"
Wang Tao doesn't need to test his gun, but Wang Tao also has a way to intimidate him.
"Xiaoxue, you control him for a while, is that okay?"
Jiang Shixue's hidden attribute has a [Eye of Contract], which, in addition to night vision, can also control other people's thoughts to a certain extent.
The lower the level and the lower the spirit, the easier it is to control.
"It should be okay."
Jiang Shixue looked at the old man through the window, and her eyes glowed red.
The old man was suddenly stunned, and his eyes were instantly dull.
But Jiang Shixue looked a little surprised.
"His spirit is so strong! I can only control him for a few seconds..."
"Enough!"
Wang Tao got out of the car immediately, ran behind the old man quickly, and took his shotgun in his hands.
"And there's a pistol?"
Wang Tao saw that he still had a revolver on his waist, so he put his pistol away.
At this time, the old man woke up from being controlled.
There was some doubt in his eyes. He suddenly felt like he had blacked out just now? !
Huh?
Where's my gun!
Only then did he realize that the shotgun in his hand was gone!
Swish!
The old man immediately turned around and saw a tall figure standing behind him with a shotgun.
Without thinking, he immediately put his hand behind his waist and felt around - the pistol was gone!
"Old man, are you looking for this?"
A black revolver appeared in Wang Tao's hand, which was the one he had on him.
The old man was surprised to see Wang Tao's strange ability to "teleport" and take his gun away, but he was not afraid.
"Who are you!"
The old man glared at him.
"Just an ordinary survivor. Look, I said I had no ill intentions, otherwise you would have died."
As he said that, Wang Tao threw both guns to him.
The old man was a little surprised to see Wang Tao's actions. He didn't expect him to return the gun to himself. This immediately made the old man look up to Wang Tao. However, the moment he received the gun, he knew that he had thought too much - the bullets in the gun were unloaded!
Although he could reload, he obviously had no chance with the other party's ability to teleport without knowing how.
"Hello, my name is Wang Tao."
Wang Tao stretched out his hand.
The old man put his hunting rifle on his back and put his pistol behind his waist.
He did not shake hands with Wang Tao, but said very coldly:
"He Jijun."
"He Jijun..." Wang Tao muttered in his heart. He had never heard of this name, but it did not prevent him from praising him.
"Carrying on the past and opening up the future, brave and brave! What a good name!"
Wang Tao could judge from He Jijun's shooting skills, standing posture, spirit and the old military uniform on his body that he had probably been a soldier before.
So He Jijun should be more useful to praise him directly in this regard.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Tao said this, the coldness on He Jijun's face was less.
"Old man, can you get in the car and talk? I have only been in Wuyang City for a few days. I don't know much about the situation here. I want to communicate with you."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"..."
He Jijun was obviously not very willing.
The main reason was that Wang Tao's ability was very strange, and he didn't know Wang Tao's origin. He had seen too much ugliness of human nature along the way.
But Wang Tao's words seemed like an invitation, but in fact they were a bit threatening...
"Oh, by the way, I have good wine in my car. I don't drink, and no one among us drinks. If you like, I can have a few drinks with you."
When he heard about wine, He Jijun's eyes lit up. He gritted his teeth.
"Okay!"
Since Wang Tao had invited him so sincerely, it would be inappropriate for him to refuse.
"Are you alone? Do you have a car?"
When getting in the car, Wang Tao asked.
"I'm alone, and I don't have a car."
He Jijun shook his head.
"It's dark now. Let's find a place to rest. What do you think, old man?"
"Whatever."
Since he was already in the car, He Jijun didn't hesitate any more.
When he was looking for the sound of gunfire just now, Wang Tao found a place suitable for resting, and now he could just go there.
This is a roadside house with a large garage that can park several cars. Although the house is covered with creepers outside, it is still clean inside and there are no zombies.
After parking the car, Wang Tao took a bottle of wine out of the car.
When he contacted Colonel Luo Guozhong, the pilot of the airdrop plane, he said that he would invite him to drink when they met. Wang Tao is a man of his word. Since he said this, he would naturally prepare the wine.
These wines are all white wines prepared by Lan Yulian. There are several bottles. Now take out a bottle, and the rest are enough.
Seeing this bottle of wine, He Jijun, who had been cold all the time, brightened his eyes.
Wang Tao doesn't drink, so he doesn't know much about wine.
However, Lan Yulian said that these wines were expensive before, so they must be good.
Xu Xiaojun cleaned up the table in the room, and Wang Tao put the wine and some food up. Then he invited He Jijun to take a seat.
"Old man, please sit down."
He Jijun snorted coldly and sat down carelessly.
He was forced to get into Wang Tao's car.
After all, in that situation, if he refused, he was not sure whether Wang Tao would do anything to him, so he had to get in the car. In the car, his face was very cold.
Wang Tao didn't mind it. He took the initiative to pour wine for He Jijun, and then raised the glass.
Seeing that Wang Tao was so polite, He Jijun couldn't make a face anymore. He raised the glass and clinked it with Wang Tao. Then he smelled the aroma of the wine in the glass, his face was intoxicated, and finally drank it all.
"Good wine!"
He Jijun subconsciously praised.
He hadn't drunk for a long time, and now he suddenly drank this kind of good wine, his face also relaxed a lot.
Wang Tao took the opportunity to ask:
"Is the old man from Wuyang City?"
As the saying goes, eating people's mouths are short, He Jijun didn't "cold war" anymore, he shook his head.
"No. I came from Chunhua Province."
"Hiss-"
As soon as he said this, Wang Tao and others all took a breath of cold air.
Between Chunhua Province and Wuyang Province, there is Cangsong Province! It's so far away from here!
"Awesome!"
Wang Tao directly raised his thumb.
If He Jijun was a superpower, Wang Tao would not be so surprised, but he is an ordinary person. Even if he has 1000 HP, he is still an ordinary person. How can an ordinary person not be surprised to walk such a long distance!
Feeling the shock of Wang Tao and others, He Jijun was not complacent. Only he knew the difficulties along the way, and there was nothing to praise.
"Then what is the purpose of your coming here, old man?"
Wang Tao asked again.
"Looking for someone."
"..."
This reason touched Yang Changhong, and she said:
"I am also here to find someone. I came to find my sister. I heard that she came to Wuyang City. I don't know whether she is alive or dead..."
He Jijun glanced at her.
"I hope you can find your sister."
"Thank you! You too, I hope you can find the person you are looking for."
Yang Changhong replied politely.
But after hearing this, He Jijun's face suddenly became a little disappointed, but he didn't say much.
So Wang Tao asked again:
"I'm curious, how did the old man come to Wuyang City? Did he have a team before? Did the team disband?"
"No, I've always been alone. But sometimes I walk in the wild, and there are fewer zombies in the wild."
"No wonder..."
Wang Tao suddenly realized.
If He Jijun didn't go to the big city, or didn't enter the city, but went to the wild. And then if he was lucky and didn't encounter monsters, then theoretically he could have walked here alive.
But this is only in theory, in practice it is much more difficult. After all, he is an ordinary person. If nothing else, eating and sleeping are a big problem...
"By the way, how old is the old man this year?"
"Sixty-six."
"..."
Even though they already knew that He Jijun was not young, everyone was still shocked when they heard that he was sixty-six years old.
Wang Tao continued to ask:
"The old man was a soldier before?"
"Been a top soldier for several years."
When he said this, He Jijun looked a little proud.
Obviously he should be very satisfied with his military career.
"I think the old man's marksmanship is very good!"
What Wang Tao said was nonsense, because He Jijun fired one shot, and it was on the ground, so there was no sign of any marksmanship. But when it comes to carrying people in a sedan chair, it’s always good to say something nice, especially for the elderly.
"generally."
He Jijun did not elaborate further.
"Has the old man ever seen a person with superpowers?"
Wang Tao was a little curious. Could it be that He Jijun had never seen a person with superpowers? Otherwise, if you have seen a person with superpowers, you will definitely know that you can obtain superpowers by fusing crystal cores. Then he should not be an ordinary person, at least there must be some impurities in his body. And there are no impurities on his body, which means that he has not fused a single crystal core.
"A person like you?" He Jijun glanced at Wang Tao and said, "I've seen him before. Not only have I seen him, I've also killed him!"
When he said this, He Jijun was filled with murderous intent.
Wang Tao briefly found out that He Jijun encountered three people with supernatural powers who were robbing them, but he killed them all with just a few shots!
"ox!"
Wang Tao gave a thumbs up again.
"But they are not as strong as you. I don't even know how you got behind me..."
He Jijun was a little confused. He felt that his eyesight was very good. Even though he was older, he could still pierce the enemy with a hundred steps, but he didn't see clearly how Wang Tao came behind him!
Seeing the confusion in He Jijun's eyes, Wang Tao smiled secretly.
It's not how fast he is, but Jiang Shixue controlled He Jijun for a few seconds, causing He Jijun to lose those few seconds of memory...
"Then old man, you don't want to become a person with powers?"
Wang Tao asked a little strangely.
"Superpowers? In my opinion, those are monsters! I don't want to be that kind of monster! Even if I'm not a superpower, I can still kill zombies!"
He Jijun seemed a little disdainful in his words.
"Monster?"
To a certain extent, there is a big difference between superpowers and ordinary humans. There is nothing wrong with calling them monsters. Especially those with superpowers who fuse crystal nuclei with obvious side effects, such as those whose bodies become lumbered, stiff, and whose arms turn into bone knives. This is really no different from monsters.
However, Wang Tao still shook his head and said:
"It doesn't matter whether we are monsters or not. After all, our goal is to live. If we can survive, what does it matter if we become monsters? As long as we have strong power, we can not only protect ourselves, but also those around us. people..."
"..."
He Jijun did not refute Wang Tao's words. He knows that people with superpowers are powerful. He is actually not a stubborn person, but——
After a moment of silence, He Jijun took out a bag from his pocket and placed it in front of Wang Tao.
Wow——
There were some very clear and pleasant collision sounds coming from the bag.
He Jijun opened the bag and found a bunch of shiny crystal nuclei inside.
"Boy, do you know what abilities these things have? I heard that you have to eat this thing to become a superpower. But every superpower is different, and it may not be suitable for you, and every superpower has Side effects... If you can understand it, you can pick a suitable one for me, and I’ll give the rest to you!”
He Jijun could feel that Wang Tao's group was very strong.
Even the little girl who has been following Wang Tao and looks weak is still very strong!
He doesn't have the ability to sense, but this is the sense of smell for someone like him who has been on the battlefield and seen blood!
In addition to the brief contact just now, although he kept a cold face, he could also feel that Wang Tao had a pretty good personality.
So he felt that this might be an opportunity - the reason why he did not fuse the crystal core was not that he was afraid of becoming a monster, but that he was afraid of becoming a useless monster.
He had seen a superpower before who had become a fat pig and was useless for anything except eating. He doesn't want to become such a person!
Wang Tao was immediately confused after seeing the crystal core in He Jijun's hand.
These crystal nuclei are not only first-order, but also second-order, and even a third-order one!
Good guy, he, an ordinary person with 1,000 blood, can kill a third-level zombie?
And what surprised Wang Tao was not only the levels of these crystal nuclei, but also the crystal nuclei themselves - He Jijun had so many crystal nuclei on his body, how could he resist not fusing them?
The allure of crystal nuclei to human beings is very terrifying. Many people fuse in confusion after seeing the crystal nuclei.
Even Wang Tao, who had always thought his willpower was pretty good, had some uncontrollable fusion when he first fused the shock wave crystal core. By the time he reacted, the crystal core had already been fused into his body.
And this He Jijun, carrying so many crystal nuclei with him, didn't even fuse them!
This willpower is so strong!
This reminded Wang Tao of a person, his former companion at the Shuize base, the young security soldier Lu Gang. He was a person with a strong will. Wei Zhenguo and the others gave all the crystal cores to Lu Gang for safekeeping...
"The old man can resist not fusing the crystal cores, amazing!"
Wang Tao gave a thumbs up again.
People who can restrain their desires are worthy of admiration.
He Jijun glanced at Wang Tao. This is not a difficult task. Just bear it for a while and it will pass. Is it difficult?
Wang Tao looked at the crystal cores, then pointed to the only third-order crystal core and asked:
"This crystal core, how did you get it, old man?"
"This crystal core!"
The third-order crystal core is different from the first-order and second-order ones. He Jijun can obviously recognize it. His tone was a little emotional.
"I don't know how the zombie got injured, but it still took me seven days to kill it. It is the strongest zombie I have ever encountered..."
