Chapter 365 A Huge Harvest
Wang Tao still didn't see what Wen Guocheng said about the corpse wave.
But it's not a big problem. Anyway, he has no plans to hunt down the fifth-level lord zombie now. Without the zombie tide, it can save some trouble.
Wang Tao drove directly there according to the route given by Fu Yu. That place was a forest on an unnamed hill, not too far from the temporary camp. Half an hour later, Wang Tao saw the garden.
Far away, Wang Tao saw some scattered red dots on the mountainside.
"……so much?"
Wang Tao was a little confused.
Previously, Fu Yu said that there was a large area of snake fruit here. He thought that Fu Yu was using an exaggerated rhetorical technique. Wang Tao didn't care much about such details. Anyway, as long as there was one, it would be fine. It turns out that this is really a big piece!
These red fruits grow on some dwarf trees. Although they are brightly colored, because the fruits are too small and numerous, the dwarf trees also look ordinary, so people instinctively think that these are ordinary wild fruits.
Xiao Hei next to Wang Tao hissed and spit out the snake letter, feeling a little excited.
However, after getting closer and seeing clearly the specific properties of these fruits and the surrounding situation, Wang Tao frowned again.
There are indeed a lot of these [Strange Snake Fruits], but many of them are not ripe yet.
[Strange snake fruit (immature): bitter taste, non-toxic and harmless, can satisfy hunger after eating]
The unripe snake fruit is a little green and not as red as the ripe fruit. It has no special effects after eating, but it also has no toxins. It can be regarded as a wild fruit that can fill the stomach.
According to normal people's thinking, most people will wait until the fruit is ripe to eat it. However, if you eat the strange snake fruit after it is ripe, your life may be in danger... This snake fruit is a bit of a trap.
In addition to snake fruit, there are many zombies here. These zombies are all within the range of the snake fruit. They seem to want to eat the fruit too?
Wang Tao frowned, can zombies eat this thing?
But soon, he found the reason - it was not zombies eating the fruit, but there were many ordinary snakes hidden here, and the zombies came to eat the snakes!
Wang Tao didn't go over immediately. He asked He Jijun to drive around and make sure he didn't see any other dangers before he came to the snake fruit growing range.
"Ho ho..."
As soon as Wang Tao and others appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of these zombies.
They are all ordinary zombies of the third and fourth levels, which may be difficult for Wen Guocheng and others to deal with, but naturally there is no difficulty for Wang Tao and others.
After a while, all the zombies fell under the tree.
Seeing these dead zombies, Wang Tao suddenly raised his eyebrows.
It seems like these zombies can be used as fertilizer to nourish the snake fruit trees!
Zombie viruses cannot be transmitted to plants, and after the zombies die, the zombie viruses will completely disappear within seven days.
If these zombies can really nourish the snake fruit tree, then the snake fruit will feed the snakes, and the snakes will attract the zombies, and so on... My dear, the biological chain is closed!
If this is really possible, Wang Tao thinks he can keep cultivating these snake fruits!
But there is a problem, that is, the snake fruit tree cannot kill zombies, and ordinary snakes cannot deal with zombies. Someone or something has to kill the zombies...
Leave Xiao Hei here? No, no!
Wang Tao shook his head quickly.
Although Xiao Hei is relatively strong in the base, looking at the entire apocalyptic wilderness is completely inadequate. Wang Tao is not at ease if he is placed here.
How about transplanting the snake fruit tree into the base? Although there is a lack of zombie fertilizer, these snake fruit trees have not had zombie fertilizer before, so they can still grow!
Wang Tao feels that the method of transplantation is still feasible.
However, he did not take action without permission, because he had heard before that someone found edible wild fruits in the wild and wanted to transplant them into the base, but they died after they were transplanted... Professional matters should be left to professionals. , Wang Tao doesn’t know much about this aspect, so I’d better go back and ask Qu Shilin to see if their research institute has any relevant experience...
Of course, now is not the time to think about this. Wang Tao called on everyone to start picking ripe fruits.
Half an hour later, Wang Tao picked all the ripe fruits on the snake fruit tree, more than a thousand in total! And there are at least thousands of unripe fruits!
Seeing such a large number, Wang Tao was very happy at first, and then frowned a little.
Although the concept of "the smaller the quantity, the more precious" is not necessarily accurate, it is generally applicable.
[Strange Snake Fruit] How small is the "small probability" mentioned above? You have to try it to find out...
Xiao Hei couldn't wait for a long time and kept lying on Wang Tao's body, squirming and acting coquettishly. Wang Tao smiled and touched Xiao Hei's head, and then said:
"Eat it and let me see what it does!"
After giving the order, Xiao Hei, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately bit into a red snake fruit and swallowed it.
Wang Tao could clearly feel that Xiao Hei's body felt slightly warm after eating the snake fruit. Then I saw that its blood volume increased by 100 points.
Wang Tao waited for a while, but Xiao Hei had no other reaction except an increase in blood volume.
This made Wang Tao a little disappointed. Although he also knew that the possibility of Xiao Hei awakening all at once was very small, he still had some expectations. And it only adds 100 HP, which is a bit too little...
"Keep eating!"
Wang Tao touched Xiao Hei's head, and he immediately ate the second one.
More than ten minutes later, when Xiao Hei ate 100 snake fruits, Wang Tao was somewhat speechless after seeing no other changes except for an increase of 10,000 HP. This "small probability" awakening is indeed very small! Not even 1% of the opponent's probability...
At this time, Xiao Hei no longer had the strong desire to eat as before. Wang Tao vaguely felt that it seemed that it could only eat 100 in a short period of time. If it ate more, it would have no effect. It would take a day or a few days to eat again before it would have an effect.
Since Xiao Hei didn't eat anymore, Wang Tao put all the snake fruits away. There were still four snakes at home, and they could be fed.
Wang Tao also had a general understanding of the effect of this [Strange Snake Fruit].
This thing is very similar to the [Tree Essence] in his hand.
Each serving of Tree Essence will increase 100 HP and 100 Mana. A maximum of ten servings can be used at a time, and then it will fall into a cooling period. The cooling time is not fixed and varies from person to person.
Snake fruit only increases health but not mana, but it has more functions, but the side effects of human use are very large, so it is not suitable for human use.
Although tree essence is not as functional as snake fruit, it has fewer restrictions and can be used by humans and animals. Wang Tao and his team are still using it now. After 100,000 health, tree essence can no longer provide the upper limit of health, but mana can still continue to increase, so their mana has been slowly increasing...
But anyway, this [Strange Snake Fruit] is a good thing for snakes, and it is very easy to obtain. You don’t need to defeat monsters or anything, you can just pick it up on the mountain...
"Let’s go. I hope no one else can find this place."
After making sure that there is nothing missing, Wang Tao left directly.
It’s not that Wang Tao doesn’t want to share, but this thing can’t be eaten by people. If it is really poisoned, it will be fatal.
However, this kind of wilderness area is generally rarely explored by people, and survivors still like to explore the city. Although the end of the world has been coming for almost a year, there are still a lot of supplies in the city, so the probability of such a place being discovered is relatively low.
It is now ten o'clock in the morning. Wang Tao looked at the map. If they were to return to the city now, they would definitely be able to reach it before dusk at their speed.
The car turned a corner and headed towards the Changhe base.
In the car, Wang Tao and his companions were also in a much more relaxed mood. After all, they were going home. After staying in the Night Demon's Lair for several days, they all missed their big beds.
On the way back, Wang Tao sorted out the gains from this trip.
Compared with the last time, Wang Tao thought that the gains from this trip were more.
Wang Tao's main mission goal - high-level special energy, has been accumulated enough, and even exceeded.
He was planning to accumulate a high-level special energy that would give him a two-thirds chance of awakening for the second time, and now this probability can easily reach more than 80% or 90%!
Wang Tao's luck has always been good, and this probability should be no problem. If such a high probability can still fail, it can only be said that he has no chance of awakening for the second time...
In addition to the high-level special energy, he also got a lot of awakening keys. He now has a total of 120 awakening keys in his body!
100 awakening keys can be combined into a high-level entity awakening key!
However, Wang Tao is not in a hurry for the time being. Anyway, the key will not run away from him, and he will use it when he needs it later.
Then there is the entity awakening key. Wang Tao now has a total of 50 entity awakening keys. Yes, 50!
This means that Wang Tao can give 50 people a chance to awaken!
Of course, it is not so easy to awaken, and other conditions must be met.
But anyway, so many entity awakening keys are basically enough for his own people to use for the first awakening.
However, it is a bit uncomfortable to have only 50% probability. It would be better if the probability can be improved...
In addition, Wang Tao killed so many lords, and he also gained a lot of awakening energy. In order not to waste it, he naturally used it to upgrade the awakening energy limit.
His current awakening energy limit has reached 2000, which is a blessing for him with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Of course, the numbers are secondary. The main thing is that after this upper limit is raised, his awakening endurance has been greatly improved, and he can use 3 minutes and 20 seconds of Sparks to set the prairie on fire!
In the case of the same level, except for the giant zombies with high blood volume, Wang Tao doesn't know who or what monster can withstand his more than three minutes of Sparks to set the prairie on fire.
As for whether he can beat the giant zombies of the same level with high blood volume when he is fully awakened, Wang Tao thinks it is still not possible. It's not that he is not strong enough, but because the giant zombies are too hard in other places. Hitting it doesn't lose blood at all, and you can only hit the head. And the giant zombies are too big, with a skyscraper-like body, he can't hit it at all... Even his fireballs are not very good.
Wang Tao's long-range attack ability is not as good as his own melee, and it's not that far...
If Wang Tao can learn some other long-range attack abilities, or can fly into the sky, then he should be able to hunt down giant zombies dozens of meters high with a three-minute awakening...
Shaking his head, Wang Tao looked at the next harvest, the Night Demon Heart.
He killed a large number of Night Devil Lords this time, not only the fourth-level ones, but also the fifth-level ones.
He now has 70 fourth-level Night Devil Hearts, which are [Night Devil Type I]! He also has 5 fifth-level [Night Devil Type II]!
The Night Devil Heart is expensive now. Wang Tao plans to sell all the Type I after he returns. This thing is not very helpful to him, and it is useless to keep it.
As for Type II, he will keep it for himself. It is useful to him. And I plan to use the crystal core to increase the health of Type II to the maximum value. If I can get five [Night Devil Type II] with 200,000 health... I feel very happy just thinking about it.
Finally, there are various crystal cores, materials, equipment drawings and so on.
These things are completely enough for his own people. After returning this time, it should be able to awaken many people.
Wang Tao directly took out an equipment drawing and started making it.
"Woof!"
However, at this time, Lightning shouted a little hurriedly.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Tao looked in the direction where Lightning was looking. There was a wasteland in the distance, and there was nothing.
"Woof!"
"Pay attention!"
Wang Tao immediately reminded.
Lightning's ears are much more sensitive than humans. It can hear the movement from far away. There must be something going on, otherwise Lightning would not shout randomly.
After a moment, Wang Tao's ears suddenly moved, and the others also looked over.
I saw a few small black dots appearing on the horizon in the distance. Looking closely, these wriggling black dots are actually hideous human heads!
"Zombie tide!"
Wang Tao said before that he had not seen a corpse tide, but he saw it on the way home...
And this number... It feels like there are more than what Wen Guocheng and the others said!
Looking at the corpse tide in the distance, Wang Tao felt like he was facing a huge army.
And the number is not enough, Wang Tao found that there were a large number of fifth-level zombies in this group of corpses!
Although they did not see the fifth-level lord for the time being, they could not deal with so many fifth-level elites.
"Go!"
The car suddenly turned and headed in the opposite direction.
It was just not long after they started walking that they found another group of corpses in front of them! There were also a large number of fifth-level zombies.
"They surrounded us - no, we just walked into the place where they met, damn! What luck..."
It was obviously impossible for such a large number of zombies to surround his car accurately. If zombies really had this ability, they would have been finished long ago.
So he was probably in the middle when the two groups of zombies met.
Now he can only go left or right. But going right will get farther and farther away from the base, so he can only go left.
"There is no other way, I can only spend money to avoid disaster - start the violent mode of the crystal energy car!"
After operating it for a while, He Jijun pressed the button.
Boom -
Several blue flames suddenly shot out from the rear of the crystal energy car, and the speed suddenly increased, and then it rushed out like an arrow from a string.
"Fuck!"
In the car, feeling the strong push on his back, Wang Tao exclaimed. Fortunately, he had just fastened his seat belt, otherwise he would probably fly out - there are no seat belts in the cars of the end of the world, only this car has it. Seat belts are really useful!
The scenery in front of him was receding rapidly, and Wang Tao felt like he was riding a rocket. The car was very stable, with only slight bumps. The zombies that were already close were smashed into pieces, and the broken limbs and flesh covered the car windows.
It was unknown how many minutes it lasted. When the car slowly stopped due to exhaustion of energy, there was no zombie behind it.
"Huh--"
Several people took a breath.
It's really exciting and refreshing!
However, the disadvantages of the violent mode are also obvious-it is almost impossible to turn after starting, and it is impossible to adjust the speed. Fortunately, this section of the road is relatively flat and there are no obstacles, otherwise it would be troublesome...
Wang Tao was going to report it to Qu Shilin to see if it could be improved.
He Jijun replaced it with a fourth-level epic crystal core, identified the direction, and headed towards the Changhe base.
