[Sixth-level weapon·Iron Snake Wood]
[HP: 1000000/1000000]
[Status: Awakened]
[Amplification: Place trap, independent attack]
[Compatibility: 100%]
[Place trap: You can place a binding trap. The lower the level of the trapped creature, the better the binding effect]
[Independent attack: You can attack alone according to the master's command]
The one who trapped the group of people in the Swift Wind Team was not a mutant creature, but a sixth-level trap-type weapon.
This was the first time Wang Tao saw this type of biological weapon, and it looked quite interesting.
He observed carefully. After the group of people were trapped inside, as long as they didn't run around, the Iron Snake Wood would not attack them. But if they wanted to get into the car, the Iron Snake Wood would attack the car and directly destroy their car. If they wanted to escape, the Iron Snake Wood would catch them, but did not kill them.
So, this Iron Snake Wood simply wanted to trap them and ensure that they were all within the Iron Snake Wood's sight.
Although it is not clear why the Iron Snake Wood deliberately trapped them, the Iron Snake Wood's fit is 100%, which means that the Iron Snake Wood has an owner. The result is obvious. It should be the order issued by the owner of the Iron Snake Wood. The purpose of trapping these people should be to wait for the owner of the Iron Snake Wood to come back!
This makes Wang Tao even more curious. Who is the owner of the Iron Snake Wood?
To have such a sixth-level biological weapon, its owner is obviously very extraordinary.
However, with such a biological weapon exposed in front of Wang Tao, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted. Wang Tao is thinking about whether to take this Iron Snake Wood away.
Although it is an owner, even if it is taken away, it will not be used for a while. It takes a lot of effort to get the fit to zero, let it fall into sleep, and then reactivate it. But Wang Tao is different. He has a space backpack.
After putting a biological weapon that does not belong to you into the space backpack, the fit will be instantly reset to zero and fall into sleep. Take it out and activate it again, and it will be yours. It is very convenient, but a little unethical.
While Wang Tao was thinking, the group of people trapped inside found Wang Tao. So, they shouted without thinking.
Wang Tao certainly knew what they meant, so Wang Tao looked at the iron snake wood. He had already made a decision in his heart. If the iron snake wood attacked him, it would prove that they were destined to be together, and he would put the iron snake wood into the space backpack; if the iron snake wood did not attack him, then he... would take a long-term view.
But the result surprised Wang Tao and the group of people in the Swift Wind Team. The iron snake wood seemed to have not seen Wang Tao and did not care about him at all.
"Can it only attack people in the trap?"
Wang Tao touched his chin and said to himself.
On the other side, the group of people in the Swift Wind Team were completely desperate.
It was not easy to see an opportunity, which gave them a glimmer of hope, but in return they were even more desperate...
However, human vitality is very tenacious. As long as they are not dead, there is still a chance. After all, there is indeed another person outside, and that person has not left.
"Help, big brother outside, please save us!"
Before, they shouted for help because they wanted to divert the trouble. But now they shouted for help because they really wanted to ask for help. No matter whether Wang Tao has the ability to save them or not, they have already regarded Wang Tao as a life-saving straw.
Wang Tao then cast his eyes on the group of people.
"Big brother, help!"
Seeing that Wang Tao finally looked over, the group of people shouted even more excitedly. Fortunately, the iron snake wood would not attack noisy people, giving them a chance to ask for help.
"What's the benefit?"
Wang Tao spoke directly.
Originally, he didn't want this group of people to talk nonsense. After all, they were robbers and there was nothing to say.
But Wang Tao found that the amount of food seemed to be wrong.
According to the amount said by Zhao Yaru and others, the food on their car seemed to be a little inconsistent, and there was still some shortage. Wang Tao wanted to know where the food went. After all, it was not easy to get some food, and it must not be wasted.
And when the group of people in the Swift Wind Team heard Wang Tao asking for benefits, they became even more excited.
Based on their long experience of surviving in the apocalypse, it is normal to see someone in danger and not save them; those who start saving people without saying anything are either kind-hearted or sinister, and generally the latter.
Those who start negotiating conditions first are more likely to save people. Because after negotiating the conditions, it can bring them benefits and they will not take risks in vain.
So when they heard Wang Tao asking for benefits, the people of the Swift Team were very happy.
Now it depends on whether the conditions they offer are tempting and whether they can convince this tall man.
So, they introduced themselves first.
"Hello, friend, we are from the Swift Team! Have you heard of the Swift Team? We always keep our promises!"
"The Swift Team? I haven't heard of it."
Wang Tao frowned.
This is the first time he has heard this name. Looking at the appearance of this group of people, this Swift Team seems to be very famous? But with their strength, they should not be able to make a name for themselves, right? After all, there isn't even a fifth-order awakener...
Seeing that Wang Tao had never heard of it, the group of people suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
People who often go out in this area should know about the Swift Wind Team. If the other party knows about the Swift Wind Team, then the next step will be easy. But the other party doesn't know...
"Ahem, my friend, please allow me to introduce you. Our Wind Racing Team is a very powerful organization. We do not have a fixed base. We have been on the move since our establishment at the beginning of the end of the world. This will add a lot of difficulty to us. But this also means that we are never short of supplies... Our credibility is obvious to all, so everyone who has done business with our Windrush Racing Team is full of praise, so we generally do not agree to others easily, but as long as we agree, even if it is Even if it is a fatal situation, we will complete it!”
This man looked impassioned, but a simple-minded person might have believed him.
Wang Tao looked at the stolen food in their car, smiled and said:
"Strong?"
Will he be trapped here if he is strong? So powerful that he doesn’t even have a fifth-level awakener?
Although Wang Tao's words didn't seem sarcastic, the members of the Wind Racing Team suddenly felt their faces burning. No way, the current situation is really unconvincing.
But after all, they are thick-skinned and have a lot of excuses.
"The overall strength of our Gale Team is indeed very strong, and we are just one of the teams. There are fifth-level awakened people in our entire team!"
"oh?"
Wang Tao was suddenly surprised when he heard this.
He didn't expect that this group of people was just a detachment? They also have other teams, and there are also fifth-level awakeners... If you want to put it this way, then their strength is indeed strong.
These people seemed to feel that Wang Tao was shocked, so they struck while the iron was hot:
"So don't worry, as long as we promise you something, we will definitely do it! Just ask for it!"
Wang Tao naturally doesn't believe this. Forget it in peacetime, in this post-apocalyptic world, even Wang Tao doesn't dare to say that he can do anything. How dare they, the Gale Racing Team, do it.
However, in this ice and snow, their Gale convoy did not choose to build a base, but chose to move, like nomads... This is still very capable.
"I need food, lots of food."
Wang Tao spoke directly.
"Food? Just in time, we have food!"
The group of people were overjoyed when they heard Wang Tao asked for food. They don't have much else but plenty of food.
As for whether they would suspect that Wang Tao was from Zizhu Base, that was obviously not the case. Because food is one of the rarest materials in the apocalypse, it is normal to want food.
"We have food, it's in our car, there's a lot of food in it!"
Someone spoke immediately.
Some people directly opened the sacks containing grain, revealing the distinct grains of wheat inside.
"Look, these are all wheat! There is also rice in the car, which is all the best food! If you can save us, all this food will be yours!"
"Okay, then you throw the food out, I will get the food first and then save you guys."
"..."
A group of people from the Windrush Racing Team were immediately embarrassed.
It's not that they don't want to throw the food out, they hope to give Wang Tao outside a little sweetness, but the problem is that nothing can go out now, including food. If you throw it outside, it will be caught by these mutated trees.
"There is no way to throw away this food now. This mutated tree will catch our food..."
Someone explained helplessly.
Wang Tao was not surprised by this answer. He shrugged and said:
"Then I'm sorry, I can't trust you. Unless you let me get the food first, I won't take action."
"..."
Things seemed to have stagnated.
At this time, Wang Tao said again:
"I have thought of a way. This method will rescue you very quickly and will not cause any loss to me..."
Hearing this, regardless of whether Wang Tao's words were true or not, the group of people in the Wind Racing Team couldn't sit still. They quickly communicated in a low voice. After a while, another one of them said:
"Because we have too much food, the vehicles move very slowly, so we also hide some food outside, but only we know where the food is hidden... So, otherwise, we will tell you where the food is hidden outside. , as a reward for saving us, what do you think?"
Sure enough, they hid the food.
After Wang Tao pretended to think deeply, he said directly:
"The food outside is mine, and the food in your car is also mine. If you agree, I will help."
"……OK!"
This group of people is not surprised. If Wang Tao is not greedy, then they should be careful. This kind of situation where he directly states the request first is actually better. No matter how much food is in hand, it is useless to be trapped and die here.
The only thing they regret now is that they didn't hide the grains separately. Wang Tao could find them all just by looking over. At that time, they thought that it would be more convenient to put the food together and ask others to come and pull it back later. Who knew that something like this would happen...
After the Wind Racing Team agreed, someone took out a map and held it high for Wang Tao to see.
Fortunately, Wang Tao has good eyesight, otherwise he would not be able to see clearly at this distance.
There is a mark at a location on the map with the word "grain" written on it.
Wang Tao recalled it carefully and quickly found the place. When he was chasing the bandits, he passed by there.
"Okay, I'll go take a look first. As long as I'm sure there's food there, I'll come back."
Wang Tao turned around and left without saying a word.
"Okay, we'll wait for you! Friend, remember this, as long as you save us, we'll give you all the food in our car!"
Seeing Wang Tao leave, the group of people in the Swift Wind Team sighed.
They were not sure whether Wang Tao would come back, but they had no choice but to believe.
"I don't know why these mutant trees have to trap us. Do they want to keep us and eat us at a suitable time?"
At this time, someone spoke helplessly.
"..."
The group was even more silent.
They had just thought about this possibility, and they also felt that this possibility was the greatest. It's just that saying it out loud is too demoralizing...
"Wait, I think the man just now should come back to save us. After all, we have so much food, I don't believe he won't be tempted."
"Even if he comes back, he must have the ability to save us..."
"Don't worry, I'm always very accurate in judging people. When he said he had a way to save us just now, I judged from his expression and body language that what he said seemed to be true..."
"What? Can he really save us?!"
Everyone was immediately excited.
"No, what I mean is that he really thinks he can rescue us, and he is very confident about it! As for whether it can work, I am not sure, we have to give it a try..."
That being said, everyone was still very excited and looked forward to Wang Tao's return.
And Wang Tao did not let them wait for long, and came back after a while.
"Friend, is the food okay? Can you help?"
Someone asked impatiently.
"The food is okay." Wang Tao nodded, and then said, "Although you robbed it, it is well protected."
"Ah?"
Everyone in the Swift Wind Team was stunned.
What does this mean? He knows that the food was robbed? Is there a dashcam in the food?
They didn't even think about the Purple Bamboo Base. After all, they have walked so far, who knows that someone can catch up!
Wang Tao didn't care about these people anymore, he came to the vicinity of the Iron Snake Wood. Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, he directly put his hand on the Iron Snake Wood.
"Don't--"
Those people subconsciously stopped him. You can't touch it randomly. If you touch it, you will be beaten!
What confused them was that after Wang Tao put his hand on the iron snake wood, not only was he not beaten by the iron snake wood, but the iron snake wood quickly squirmed and shrank, and disappeared with a rumble.
"Ah? Could this be an illusion?"
Looking at the mutant trees that trapped them to death, the people of the Swift Wind Team were still a little unbelievable.
Equally unbelievable... was Wang Tao.
"No, how could it be so smooth? Doesn't this iron snake wood have an owner? It didn't resist at all, as if it was eager to be subdued by me... and the consciousness left by its owner to control the iron snake wood was also very weak, not like a normal person..."
Boom, boom, boom--
At this time, the ground seemed to shake a little, and the sound came from a long distance.
The people of the Swift Wind Team who had just escaped subconsciously looked up. When they saw a huge figure faintly appearing in the wind and snow, they instantly widened their eyes and then their faces were full of despair.
"Sixth-level lord... giant zombie!"
"We've been targeted, it's over! It's really over this time..."
Compared to the people who looked ashen, Wang Tao opened his mouth in disbelief.
"The owner of this iron snake wood... is a giant zombie? Damn, zombies can also use biological weapons?"
