Chapter 606 A Large Number of Sixth-Level Zombies
Crash--
"It's raining heavily!"
Three days after it rained, Wang Tao shook his head helplessly at the edge of the barrier, looking at the rainwater flowing down like a waterfall on the barrier.
Most people probably wouldn't be able to withstand such heavy corrosive acid rain for long. Wang Tao didn't want to stay in this environment for too long. He mainly wanted to test the intensity of the corrosive acid rain and see what was going on outside.
"Let's go."
Wang Tao waved his hand, and the golden eagle immediately passed through the barrier.
Wow——
The rain instantly fell on Wang Tao and Jin Diao, both of whom were not used to it. At the same time, a negative state appeared on both of them.
[Corrosive acid rain: The body is slightly corroded and can return to normal after resting for a certain period of time]
This slight corrosion state could not affect Wang Tao for the time being. He did not pay much attention to it, but looked outside the base gate.
Looking at the scene that looked like a vast ocean, Wang Tao was secretly speechless.
I'm afraid ordinary bases can't withstand this level of flooding, right?
Don't do it. It would be so tragic if you finally survived this cold winter and drowned in the flood!
But soon, Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
The flood outside looked scary, but in fact it was not that deep and did not reach Wang Tao's calf level.
And there is a more important point - the water flow outside is not too fast, and people can stand firm in the water.
The main reason why floods are scary is because they flow so fast! Maybe the flood itself was not very deep, but due to the strong current, people could not stand firmly and were directly swept away by the current. Now Wang Tao didn't use any strength and stood in the water just relying on his own weight. For many people, this is not fatal and they can completely escape.
Of course, this is only the situation at the gate of Changhe Base. Wang Tao doesn't know what is happening in other places for the time being.
But then again, this heavy rain has not stopped for three full days. Is there only this little water outside? This surprised Wang Tao...
"Let's go, Xiaojin, and fly far away for a while."
Wang Tao is going to check out other places.
Chirp——
The golden eagle gave a helpless cry and flew away carrying Wang Tao.
It doesn't like water, nor does it like corrosive acid rain, and it hates the feeling of its wings getting wet. If Wang Tao hadn't called it, it would definitely not have been willing to come out.
"Haha, I'm a drowned rat!"
Wang Tao smiled and patted the golden eagle's feathers.
The golden eagle carried Wang Tao and flew for a long time. Except for the heavy rain, no zombies were found.
According to Wang Tao's previous experience, whenever it rains heavily, zombies will soak in the rain as much as they can, so even if those zombies are thawed, they should still be soaked in the rain and not move much. If the rain stops, a large number of zombies will probably appear.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Wang Tao found that the water under his feet seemed to be accumulating a little faster, but it was not heading towards the Changhe Base, but in the opposite direction.
"Go take a look at the front!"
Wang Tao let the golden eagle continue to fly forward. The further forward, the more turbulent the water flow became, and it became more and more like a flood.
Crash--
When Wang Tao came to the place where the water flow was the most ferocious, and looked at the waterfall pouring down like thousands of horses galloping, Wang Tao opened his mouth in surprise.
"Let me go! No wonder the water flow is getting faster and faster...it actually flows into the cracks!"
Some of Wang Tao's previous doubts were immediately solved - no wonder the heavy rain has been falling for three days, but the water outside is not very deep. It turns out that it is because the rain and melted snow have flowed into the cracks!
These cracks act as reservoirs. If the cracks hadn't absorbed the accumulated water, there might have been a major flood on the ground! To some extent, humans have to be grateful for the cracks here...
"This can be considered a kind of luck..."
After confirming that all the accumulated water flowed into the cracks, Wang Tao was temporarily relieved. At least we don’t have to worry about major floods.
The space inside the crack is large and can store a lot of accumulated water. The only pity is that there are bases built in some cracks in the Changhe Base. Although those people were withdrawn due to heavy rain and there were no casualties, the bases inside were built with hard work after all, and it was all wasted. . And this crack obviously cannot be removed, and there is no way to hunt the monsters in the crack anymore...
Of course, there are gains and losses. It is good to avoid large-scale floods, and the loss is worth it.
Wang Tao flew to several other cracks in the Golden Eagle and took a look. The situation was similar to the first crack. Melted snow and rainwater flowed into these cracks. The cracks were like a bottomless abyss. A big mouth, as if no amount of water can fill it.
Apart from the cracks, Wang Tao has not found any other abnormalities so far. He took a look at his attributes.
[Corrosive acid rain: The body is moderately corroded and will return to normal after a long rest]
The level of corrosion has become moderate.
Wang Tao has done tests before. The degree of corrosive acid rain seems to have little to do with strength, but mainly to do with blood volume. And Wang Tao's 1 million blood volume has already reached its maximum, so even if he is already at level six, he cannot stay in the corrosive acid rain for too long.
"Go back."
Chirp——
When he heard that he could finally go back, the golden eagle suddenly screamed happily. Then immediately flew towards Changhe Base.
After returning to the base, Wang Tao came to the city hall and summoned Gu Yun and the others for a meeting.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard Wang Tao say that the flood outside was not that big, or even a flood, because all the water was absorbed by the cracks.
"I didn't expect the cracks to have such a use!"
"That's good, that's good! I was worried before that if there was a flood outside, we couldn't build a boat, right? Now it seems we shouldn't have to!"
"..."
Seeing that everyone was very excited, Gu Yun immediately poured a basin of cold water on them.
"We can't take it lightly yet, because we don't know how long this heavy rain will last. If it's like the heavy snow, in the next half year..."
"It shouldn't be...right?"
"..."
Some people shuddered immediately after thinking of the image of corrosive acid rain falling for half a year.
If it really rains so much for so long, then it is estimated that not many pieces of land in the world will be submerged! Cracks can’t hold that much water! Changhe Base, which was originally on the ground, may not be directly in the sea!
And if it really rains for so long, how far will the zombies have to evolve? Even if humans don't drown in water, they will be killed by zombies!
"Don't worry too much. We have survived such a difficult winter. What are we afraid of with this little rain? We just need to do our job well and wait for the rain to stop."
One member encouraged.
Everyone calmed down and could only comfort themselves that this was the end of the world, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be any worse, the most it would be was death. Human beings are bound to die sooner or later. Early death and early rebirth...
However, everyone soon discovered that things were not as bad as they thought.
After seven consecutive days of heavy rain, the rain finally stopped!
Seeing the sun appear above their heads, the people on the street burst into tears of joy.
Although they have not gone out and have not been exposed to corrosive acid rain, they also know that it is not good to rain all the time. If there is too much water, Changhe Base may be trapped into an island, or even Changhe Base may be submerged!
Fortunately, things did not go that way. The rain stopped and the sun came out! In the end, this heavy rain only lasted for seven days and seven nights. Although this raining time is very scary before the end of the world, after all, not only did the rain not stop, it also rained too hard! But everyone is hiding in Changhe Base and there is no danger to their lives, which is already very good.
…
"The rain finally stopped!"
"I don't know how many zombies will evolve this time and to what extent..."
"Do you think this will evolve into a seventh-level zombie?"
"It shouldn't be...right?"
"..."
In the courtyard of Wang Tao's villa, everyone was discussing with each other. When it came to the issue of seventh-level zombies, everyone fell silent.
Although Wang Tao said, it is difficult to advance to the seventh level. But things like zombies cannot be measured by common sense, let alone that they have been exposed to such "nutritious" corrosive acid rain for seven days and seven nights. It seems reasonable if the zombies really evolved to the seventh level...
"You'll know just when you go out and take a look. I hope no seventh-level zombies appear..."
Wang Tao called for the golden eagle and flew out of the base with a group of people.
Leaving the range of the barrier, Wang Tao subconsciously took a deep breath.
"This air... feels so fresh!"
The air in the apocalypse always smells a little stinky, and it smells very uncomfortable. Only in places with few zombie activity areas and many green plants can you breathe the sweet and fresh air.
And today, after a heavy rain, I took a deep breath outside and it felt like all the pores on my body were opened. It was so refreshing!
"Really comfortable..."
Wang Tao showed a smile of enjoyment on his face.
However, he did not forget the main task this time. The group came to the gate of the base. The heavy rain ended last night and there was no water now.
When the Changhe Base was built before, the designer had considered the problem of flooding, so the location chosen for the Changhe Base was slightly higher than the surrounding areas. If there is no further flow of water, the flood will back up and flow to lower areas.
Now it seems that the designers of Changhe Base are indeed very powerful, which means that there is not much water outside the base. It may be a bit difficult for people to walk in the mud, but it is no problem at all by car.
"See if there are any zombies!"
Wang Tao led everyone to wander around the base.
The zombies had been thawing one after another before, and this time there was corrosive acid rain for such a long time, which can directly melt the ice, so there must be a lot of zombies coming out.
Wang Tao wants to see if there are any zombies around the base. He had to make sure there were no zombies around, otherwise other base personnel might be in danger when they came out.
While riding the Golden Eagle, Wang Tao and his team quickly surveyed the surroundings of the base.
Although some zombie body parts were found, no living zombies appeared.
This basically confirms that the area around the base is still safe, so don't worry too much.
As for those cracks, almost all of them are filled with water!
"Let me go, the water level in the crack is so high! This is how much water is stored!"
Xiang Hongbin looked at the sparkling but bottomless crack and spoke subconsciously.
If they had not entered the crack before, it would be difficult for everyone to imagine that there is such a deep space below this place that looks like a river or river.
"We can't really go to the cracks anymore. But the monsters in the cracks should all be drowned, right? After all, they are not zombies, so they should not be able to withstand the corrosive acid rain..."
"..."
Chirp——
Just as everyone was discussing, the golden eagle suddenly shouted.
"Zombies are coming!"
Wang Tao shouted immediately.
Everyone looked up and saw a group of zombies on the other side of the crack, wearing rags and wet.
At first glance, this group of zombies seemed quite ordinary, but everyone frowned.
"They are all ordinary sixth-level zombies!"
"A full thirty!"
Before the heavy rain, they rarely encountered sixth-level zombies outside. Whether it was a sixth-level elite or a sixth-level lord, they rarely encountered it.
As for the sixth-level ordinary zombies, they had never seen them.
Because the evolution law of zombies is that the higher-level ones evolve first, and the lower-level ones evolve later. Under normal circumstances, the lord zombies evolve first, followed by the elite zombies, and finally the ordinary zombies.
Therefore, the level of ordinary zombies can represent the overall situation of zombies. At least it can represent that area.
For example, the most zombies they encountered before were ordinary zombies of level 3 and level 4. This means that among the zombies in this area, ordinary zombies of level 3 are most likely their lower limit.
And now, any group of zombies encountered are ordinary zombies of level 6!
What does this mean? This means that in this area, ordinary zombies of level 6 are most likely the lowest level! If you encounter elite or lord zombies here, they will most likely be level 6 elites and level 6 lords!
This is naturally not a problem for Wang Tao, he would like to have a level 6 lord for him to hunt. But for others, it is a big problem.
After all, he is the only one who is level 6 in the entire Changhe base. The highest level of others is only level 5, and there are not many... The backbone of the Changhe base is around level 3 and 4.
If other people in the base come out and encounter level 6 zombies, how can they fight? They can't beat them!
"Let's go somewhere else!"
Wang Tao ignored the zombies and let the golden eagle fly to other places.
The crowd saw several small-scale zombie groups one after another. Among these zombies, except for some fifth-level zombies occasionally, all others were sixth-level! Although no sixth-level lords were seen for the time being, many sixth-level elites were seen.
"Fuck..."
Seeing the level of these zombies, Xiang Hongbin and others cursed.
"Let's get rid of these zombies first, and then make a long-term plan. We can't let them come out casually..."
