Chapter 296 Road Blockage

Hearing the voice from the loudspeaker, Wang Tao woke up instantly.

When he walked out of the room, Ding Yuqin and He Jijun also came to the hall. They were also resting just now, and they were all awakened by the sound of trumpets.

"what happened?"

Wang Tao looked out the window. From this position, he could only see the scenery on both sides, not the front.

There is a control room in this carriage with monitoring equipment so you can see the situation around the train. But without the permission of Duan Xuchang and others, Wang Tao would naturally not be able to break in.

"The road ahead is blocked, and the clearance train can't move for the time being. We have sent people down to clean it up."

At this time, Duan Xuchang came over with a display screen.

What was displayed on the screen was the surveillance screen in front of the train. It could be clearly seen that in front was the entrance to a small train station. A large number of buildings had collapsed and the ruins had fallen on the railway tracks, completely blocking the road.

Although they were traveling on an obstacle-clearing train, there was naturally no way to clear this obstacle. And I don’t know if the railway inside is damaged...

"Do you need help?"

Wang Tao asked.

"No need for now. If anything happens, I will inform you."

Duan Xuchang shook his head, but he didn't say anything.

"OK."

Wang Tao nodded.

Duan Xuchang continued his work. Before leaving, he opened the command room so that Wang Tao and his party could go in and watch the surveillance.

There were more equipment on the wreckage train than Wang Tao had imagined. He even saw equipment like bulldozers and excavators clearing away the ruins in front of them bit by bit.

Although the speed is not very fast, it is obviously very effective. It should take some time to clean it up... No wonder it is called a wrecker train!

It's now around four o'clock in the afternoon, it's still raining heavily outside, and the sky is a little gloomy.

The train attracted some zombies, but this train station was relatively remote and there were not many zombies. They were all kept out by soldiers.

The weapons now used by these soldiers are not the firearms used in the previous rescue of the Redbud base, but a combination of silencers and subsonic bullets.

Subsonic bullets travel slower than sound travels through the air, and combined with a silencer, the weapon makes very little sound. Don't worry about attracting zombies from other places.

Of course, the price of low sound is low power. Not so good when facing a large number of zombies. It's no problem now.

Wang Tao checked all the surveillance cameras, and after confirming that there were no problems, he was temporarily relieved.

However, Wang Tao couldn't sleep anymore, and everyone else was in the same situation as him, so they chatted and had something to eat in the hall.

Wang Tao took out some equipment by the way to see if they wanted it.

Everyone is already used to it that Wang Tao comes up with some novel things from time to time.

The first is the giant heavy armor suit, which Wang Tao himself cannot use. After all, he usually wears the Night Demon suit when fighting, and wears the Dark Iron Heavy Armor suit when encountering special situations.

This giant suit is neither too high nor too low for Wang Tao. The main reason is that the full defense attribute cannot be triggered...

But after asking around, no one was very interested in this giant heavy armor suit.

Including Xu Xiaojun, the largest among them.

"My speed is not fast to begin with. If I am slowed down again, it will seriously affect my fighting rhythm..."

Xu Xiaojun scratched his head and said.

The 20% slowdown on the giant heavy armor suit not only reduces the attack speed, but also the movement speed.

It's okay if Xu Xiaojun's attack speed is slower, but if his movement speed is reduced, he may not be able to keep up with the team. After all, he is not good at speed.

Of course, the giant heavy armor suit can be embedded with crystal cores. If it can be embedded with a powerful power, it doesn't matter if it is slowed down.

But except for Wang Tao, everyone else is a third-level superpower. Even if they have superpowers, they can't use them.

"Fine."

Wang Tao shrugged and took back the giant heavy armor suit.

In fact, he also thought of a use for the giant's heavy armor suit, which is to use it after he becomes violent. At that time, with his five-meter-tall body, he should be able to exert some of the strength of the giant's heavy armor suit.

But there is also a small problem, that is, if Wang Tao triggers the violent state, it will be very dangerous. At that time, there will be no time for him to slowly change his clothes... If he can get something similar to the Night Demon Ring, let him It would be nice if he could change his clothes instantly...

The two pieces of equipment, the corrosive armor and the corrosive spear, were also taken out by Wang Tao. However, as Wang Tao expected, as soon as everyone heard that this equipment would hurt themselves when wearing and using it, they immediately rejected it.

After all, they haven't awakened yet, so if they use this equipment to lose health, they can't use the poison gas attribute, so it's a big loss...

Then Wang Tao took out the flame gauze.

When this piece of equipment was taken out, everyone exclaimed.

After all, this was their first time seeing flames flowing on their clothes.

Especially the women, their eyes were shining.

"Which of you wants this flame gauze?"

Wang Tao asked with a smile.

The girls looked at me and I looked at you. They all wanted it, but they were too embarrassed to speak, so they had to recommend each other, and then they all looked at Wang Tao with some resentment.

"It's all this philandering carrot's fault! It's made people very embarrassed, okay..."

If it wasn't the wrong time, the girls would have wanted to beat up Wang Tao. They thought Wang Tao wanted to see them fight for it!

Wang Tao certainly didn't mean it, and he didn't have such a bad taste. It was mainly because he was difficult to choose and wanted to be lazy.

"Then let's draw lots. Whoever draws it gets it."

Wang Tao made a few simple lots.

Except for Jiang Shixue and Nie Siyan, the other girls were all given lots.

Jiang Shixue said before that she didn't need it, and Nie Siyan was because she was at most Wang Tao's subordinate, and naturally couldn't compare with Ding Yuqin and the others.

"Ah? Do I, do I have a share too..."

Li Qiuyu looked at the note handed to her, and she spoke a little embarrassedly.

Nothing actually happened between her and Wang Tao, but in this situation, she was already tacitly considered Wang Tao's person, and she couldn't explain it.

"Draw it."

Wang Tao didn't explain much.

"Oh..."

Li Qiuyu lowered her head and took a small note.

After a moment.

Lan Yulian exclaimed.

"Huh? It's me!"

"Congratulations!"

The other girls all thanked him with envy.

Not only because this piece of equipment looks good, but more importantly, it was given by Wang Tao after all.

"Thank you all for your kindness!"

Lan Yulian was no longer polite. After all, this was agreed upon before. It would be too fake to be polite again. Besides, she really liked it.

Lan Yulian was not very tall, only about 1.6 meters. After wearing this flame gauze dress, the whole person seemed to be enveloped by flames.

"It looks good!"

He Jijun next to him smiled and said, even he thought this equipment was beautiful.

Wang Tao nodded secretly.

It was actually quite suitable for Lan Yulian to wear this set of equipment. It was not because of the appearance, but because Lan Yulian was a nurse, not the one who rushed to the front. This set of clothes had lower defense than other fourth-level equipment, but it did not have much impact on her. Moreover, this equipment was very conspicuous, so people could see his position at a glance, and it was also convenient for the injured to come to him for treatment.

As for this awakening attribute, Lan Yulian can't use it for the time being, but after she awakens, this ability to slowly restore blood volume can also help her. After all, as long as the nurse doesn't die, she can save more people.

Lan Yulian turned around in the flame gauze dress, and then came to Wang Tao. Her little face was a little red and she hugged Wang Tao for a while, and soon let go.

"Thank you!"

Wang Tao smiled, and then took out the flame bracelet.

"Wow!"

Seeing this equipment, everyone exclaimed. There is no way, the special effect of this flowing flame is too beautiful.

"This bracelet is attached with fire attribute damage when attacking, but I don't know the specific effect of this fire attribute damage for the time being. I will test it later and see who wears it appropriately."

If this flame bracelet improves Wang Tao a lot, then he will wear it himself. If there is no effect, or the improvement is very small, it will be given to other suitable people.

The eyes of several women are shining, but they still sincerely hope that this will improve Wang Tao more.

Wang Tao took out a brown leather armor top.

"This is a boar leather armor top..."

[Boar leather armor top]

[Level 4 (Excellent)]

[Durability +70, Defense +70, Mental Defense +30, Weak to Fire, Weak to Electricity]

This is the blueprint that was dropped when the boar monster that created illusions was killed before. Along with it is the boar tusk long sword that Wang Tao has been using now.

The long sword is quite useful, but this boar leather armor top has weak points to electricity and fire, which is quite disgusting.

When dealing with the zombie tide before, Wang Tao set fire everywhere, and this equipment obviously couldn't be worn. So Wang Tao didn't take it out.

But after all, it is a fourth-level equipment, with 70 points of defense and 30 points of mental defense, these two attributes are still very good.

Wang Tao briefly introduced this equipment and asked if anyone liked it.

As a result, everyone shook their heads.

The weak point to electricity is not bad, after all, under normal circumstances, they will not be electrocuted. But the weak fire is not suitable, because Wang Tao's strongest state is to set fire everywhere. If you wear this equipment, you can't cooperate with Wang Tao.

"Okay. Then let's see if this leather armor can be traded with others later."

Wang Tao didn't force it.

In fact, everyone also has equipment. They are all equipped with the iron tree standard armor, white bone standard hand crossbow and bone cutting standard hand axe made by Wang Tao. But after all, it is a third-level standard equipment, and the attributes are lower than ordinary equipment...

Then Wang Tao took out various potions and distributed them to everyone.

After a big battle, Wang Tao got a lot of things, and he couldn't use them all, so he could just improve everyone's strength. After all, we haven't reached Changhe Base City yet, and the more strength we improve, the more protection we have.

Finally, Wang Tao took out four physical awakening keys.

"This is the physical version of the awakening key..."

Wang Tao briefly introduced it, and everyone's breathing became a little hurried after hearing it. Even He Jijun showed a look of interest.

After all, there is a chance to awaken!

"The probability of the first awakening is 50%. Theoretically, these four awakening keys should be able to become two awakeners. But awakening requires 24 hours of sleep after all. We are not out of danger yet, so it is not appropriate to awaken at this time. Moreover, most of you are short of a condition to upgrade your superpower to the fourth level... I will upgrade your crystal cores when we get to Changhe Base."

Wang Tao still has to consider which four people to awaken. Anyway, people with high combat effectiveness will be prioritized.

And the number of fourth-level promotion crystal cores in Wang Tao's hand is not large, only 9 in total, and it is impossible to upgrade everyone's superpower to the fourth level. So I won't give them to them for the time being. After choosing the candidates for awakening, I will give the crystal cores to those who need them.

Wang Tao said this now to give them a hint first. After all, everyone is a team, and they have to know some of Wang Tao's trump cards.

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded expectantly.

...

The obstacle clearance outside has been cleared from the afternoon to the night.

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that there is basically no problem with these rails. After the cleaning is completed, you can go directly from here without taking a special detour.

Trains are different from cars. They have to take rails. In such a remote place, you have to take a long detour. And this road is the way they came, so they are relatively familiar. Other roads have unknown risks. It is better to return the original way.

But the bad news is that the cleaning cannot be completed today. I can only work overtime at night and try to get it done tomorrow.

According to the plan, it will take one day to reach the Changhe base. But if this road is blocked, at least half a day will be wasted, and I have to spend the night here.

After the speed of the obstacle train is increased, it can directly smash zombies. As long as it does not encounter powerful zombies, or encounters a road blockage like today, many zombies can be completely ignored. And if you really encounter powerful zombies, the zombies may not be able to catch up.

But if the train stops here and loses mobility, it may be more dangerous... I have to be very alert at night.

It just so happened that Wang Tao and his team also slept for the whole morning. It was not a good rest, but at least they were much more energetic and could work at night.

Duan Xuchang did not refuse this. It is always good to have more people and more eyes.

Buzz~

The door of carriage No. 2 opened, and Wang Tao walked down with Jiang Shixue and Lightning under an umbrella.

Both of them and the dog have night vision ability, so they are naturally like fish in water in such an environment at night.

The zombies around the train have been killed. Due to the remote location, no zombies have come for the time being, so it is still relatively quiet outside, with only the sound of machines clearing obstacles.

Wang Tao wanted to find a few zombies to test the ability of the flame bracelet.

But these soldiers worked too carefully during the day. He turned around and didn't see a single living zombie.

There was no way, Wang Tao had to stay away from the team a little. The radio on his body has been connected to Duan Xuchang's team. If something really happened, there is no need to worry about missing the news.

"Finally found it!"

In a dilapidated village far from the railway, Wang Tao found more than ten ordinary zombies, all of which were second-level, with more than 20,000 HP, enough for Wang Tao to test.

Wang Tao put on the flame bracelet, strode to a zombie, and punched it.

Bang!

[-3058]

Wang Tao did not dare to use force, and this punch hit the zombie's chest, so there was no damage.

When he punched out, there was a faint flash of fire, and then it seemed that a trace of burnt color appeared on the zombie's chest. Apart from that, there was no change.

"Huh? That's it?"

Wang Tao frowned and kicked the zombie to the ground.

Then he took off the bracelet and punched the zombie in the same place with the same force.

Bang!

[-3029]

"..."

Wang Tao felt that his strength was controlled very accurately, and the difference in damage should not be an error...

So Wang Tao tried a few more times.

At a certain moment, the chest of this zombie was suddenly ignited. It had little blood and was burned to death.

"I think I roughly understand..."

Wang Tao tried it with other zombies, and then proved his inference-the fire attribute damage attached to the flame bracelet and the fire damage of the sparks are completely different.

When he used the sparks, in addition to improving various attributes, his own body, equipment, and weapons would burn with flames, and many of his attacks would also carry fire damage! This kind of flame is visible and tangible. Not only is the temperature high, but it will also continue to burn, and zombies can't stop it.

But the fire attribute damage carried by the flame bracelet cannot directly burn zombies. Instead, it enhances its own attack damage and makes its own attack damage have fire attributes-fire attributes do not mean that it will burn. Some of the burnt colors on the zombies are caused by fire attributes. But if you keep attacking with fire attributes, there is a certain probability that it will cause burning!

It's hard to say how much this probability is. After all, probability requires a large number of samples to measure a rough estimate. Anyway, the probability is not high, and it is related to the attack frequency. The faster the attack, the greater the probability of burning.

As for the increased damage from the fire attribute... for Wang Tao, it might be around 1%, or even less.

Then this bracelet would be useless to him.

This fire attribute damage is simply incomparable to the fire damage that Wang Tao awakened.

Of course, this is not to say that this flame bracelet is rubbish. After all, even if it increases damage by 1%, it is still real damage.

And the damage after the fire attribute triggers burning is still good. This is also not an ordinary flame. The blood of zombies and the rain from the sky cannot extinguish it for a while.

But this burning ability is useless to Wang Tao, because Wang Tao has just learned the fireball ability...

"Hehe..."

The last few zombies in the village ran towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao held an umbrella in his left hand, and his right palm was facing up. A palm-sized flame appeared in his palm.

When the flame became the size of a basketball, Wang Tao stretched out his hand, and the fireball flew out immediately, hitting one of the zombies directly.

Boom——

The fireball exploded, and the raging flames instantly enveloped everything around.

A moment later, the health bars of all zombies were cleared. But at the same time, half of the village was set on fire...
