Chapter 756: Corrosive Acid Rain Reappears
Due to the appearance of the flying zombie beast, the entire convoy was in high spirits.
Although they encountered many zombies on the road, Ding Yuqin and the second-level superpowers took action many times, but they did not encounter any flying zombies until nightfall. This relieved everyone.
"Although our convoy is eye-catching, it is still far behind those millions of zombies. Even if there are flying zombies, they will probably be attracted by the zombies... But we cannot take it lightly. When we arrive at the military base You must pay more attention beforehand!”
Bai Hao ordered the others, and then he looked at Wang Tao.
"I'll trouble you tonight..."
The team rests at night and some people are required to be on duty. Since he was not sure whether there were other flying zombies nearby, Wang Tao decided to go on duty personally tonight. He can see at night and fly, so he can deal with flying zombies if he encounters one.
"You all go and rest."
Wang Tao smiled and waved his hand.
After nightfall, Wang Tao did not stay at the camp, but flew around the camp several times. Zombies are more active at night and less common during the day. For example, third-level zombies may appear more likely at night.
Wang Tao still lacks some third-level crystal cores, and he is wondering if he can get them together as soon as possible so that he can advance to the fourth level.
But it may be because their current location is too remote and quiet at night. Not to mention the third-level zombies, there are not even the more common first- and second-level zombies.
"Forget it if you don't have it..."
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Wang Tao shook his head and prepared to go back.
But suddenly, his body paused and he subconsciously looked far away.
"The aura of a third-level lord...but it's not a zombie...it's a mutated beast!"
"Meow~"
Ta Xue on his shoulders was also staring at that direction.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Wang Tao immediately flew over on the snow. After a moment, Wang Tao landed in a dense forest.
Although the woods were very dense, Wang Tao saw a huge mutated wild boar with long black hair inside at a glance.
When Wang Tao found it, it also saw Wang Tao, its small eyes full of violence.
【100000/100000】
【Level 3·Lord】
[Powers: Copper skin and iron bones, great strength, self-healing, charge]
"It's a mutated wild boar. It's no smaller than Lightning in the previous life. It would be great if you could take it as a mount..."
When Wang Tao saw this mutated wild boar, his first thought was not to kill it, but to take it as a mount. After all, mutant beasts all have a certain level of intelligence, and Wang Tao can communicate with them using his mental power. As long as he can talk, it is possible to conquer them.
In particular, this mutated wild boar is very large and strong, and has the [Charge] ability, so it is very suitable for use as a mount.
But just when Wang Tao was about to fall down and communicate with it, there was a sudden snort, and a group of smaller mutated wild boars emerged from the grass. These mutants were still chewing something in their mouths. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be human arms and thighs!
"...Forget it, kill him."
Wang Tao immediately lost the opportunity to communicate. Although he wanted to tame the mutant beasts for his own use, he would forget about those that had eaten humans. This is not because Wang Tao has mental mysophobia, but because after the first time, there will be a second time. Mutated beasts that have eaten people will most likely eat them again in the future. Something similar happened in my last life. So letting this mutated beast stay in the human camp is a time bomb.
Sizzling——
Wang Tao's eyes glowed red, and two heat rays hit the third-level wild boar lord directly, and the battle began immediately.
Although these mutated wild boars are quite numerous and powerful, they are obviously not enough to face Wang Tao with such strength. It didn't take long for these mutated wild boars to be slaughtered.
Wang Tao asked Texue to collect the loot, while he pushed aside the grass, revealing a cave entrance that could accommodate several people entering and exiting. There was a very unpleasant smell inside. When I went in, I saw a pile of dead bones, only a small part of which were other animals, and most of them were human bones.
"This group of wild boars have eaten at least dozens or hundreds of people, and they died unjustly."
Wang Tao sighed, and after making sure that nothing had slipped through the net, he left the cave.
"Meow~"
At this time, Taxue held the trophy in his mouth and handed it to Wang Tao. He seemed very excited, with his tail raised high.
"Is it possible..." Wang Tao looked at the trophies. There was a bottle of evolution potion inside, which was a third-level one. "Sure enough!"
Wang Tao suddenly grinned. Ta Xue's mood has always been very stable. The only thing that can make him so excited and happy is probably the evolution potion.
[Obtain: Third-order crystal core·Dali*1]
[Obtain: Third-order crystal core...]
【……】
[Obtain: Level 3·Evolution Potion*1]
[Obtain: Fang Scimitar*2]
The last time I killed the second-level mutant beast, I exploded a bottle of second-level crystal core potion, which was used by Tuxue, allowing it to successfully advance to the second level. This time another bottle of level three was released.
[Third-level Evolution Potion: After eating the second-level mutant beast, there is a 50% chance of being promoted to the third level, and a 20% chance of realizing a superpower]
The function of the evolution potion is similar to that of the second level. There is a certain probability that the mutant beast can be promoted to the third level and there is also a probability of realizing a superpower.
There is nothing to say, this bottle of potion naturally belongs to Tuxue.
"Eat."
Wang Tao handed the potion to Tuxue, and then took a look at the equipment exploded by the mutated wild boar.
【Fang scimitar】
[Level 3 (Excellent)]
[Durability +300, Attack Power +40, Attack Speed +20%, there is a certain probability of bleeding effect when causing damage]
These two scimitars not only add 40 points of attack, but also increase the attack speed by 20%, and there is a certain probability of causing the target to bleed, which is considered to be very good equipment.
However, Wang Tao can't use it. He usually doesn't need weapons. When he needs weapons, he uses the second-level violent hammer. Although the hammer reduces the attack speed a little, it can get the [violent] effect when killing, which is very suitable for people like Wang Tao who rush directly into the center of the zombie group at any time.
"Meow~"
Just when Wang Tao put away the spoils, Taxue suddenly got into Wang Tao's arms and closed his eyes.
"Ah? Success again?"
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Taxue was going to evolve again!
Although the probability of 50% is not low, Taxue succeeded twice in a row, and the first time she had an extra power. You know, that's only a 20% probability... This shows that Taxue's luck is very good.
Taxue is now obviously promoted to the third level, but I don't know if she has obtained a superpower again. If she can obtain another superpower, it will be even better. Of course, even if she doesn't get a superpower, it's also very good to be promoted to the third level, and Taxue still makes a lot of money.
"The evolution of mutant beasts is too simple..."
Human evolution requires collecting a lot of crystal cores, but mutant beasts only need to eat a bottle of medicine, and the evolution speed is second only to zombies, which makes Wang Tao sigh.
He searched around to see if there were other mutant beasts. But he didn't see any mutant beasts, but he saw an abandoned small camp, which seemed to have been destroyed not long ago, and it should have happened a few days ago.
Through the analysis of clues, it can be seen that this camp should have been destroyed by this group of mutant wild boars. The humans inside have become their food.
This group of people obviously wanted to stay away from the city and zombies, but they didn't expect that they would build a camp near a group of mutant wild boars. It can only be said that they were too unlucky.
Wang Tao returned to the convoy.
At this time, everyone had woken up and was ready to set off. Wang Tao briefly talked about the mutant wild boars, and then gave everyone two hundred knives.
Hearing that a small camp was broken by mutant wild boars, everyone sighed.
In this kind of doomsday, we still have to keep warm together. As the strength of zombies and mutant beasts is getting stronger and stronger, small bases have no resistance at all...
The convoy continued on its way.
Judging from the speed of the convoy, it will take about ten days to get from the Bauhinia Base to the Wuyang Military Base. If everything goes well, it may be one or two days earlier. Now it is the fifth day, just half of the time has passed, and the distance is almost more than half.
Except for the flying zombie beast yesterday that scared everyone, everything else is fine, and no major troubles have been encountered.
However, everyone did not relax their vigilance and still headed towards the Wuyang Military Base cautiously.
Wang Tao is very close to being promoted to the fourth level, just lacking some basic crystal cores.
He thought that he would encounter other level 3 zombies on the way, and if he could get level 3 basic crystal cores from them, he would be able to advance to level 4 soon.
But he didn't know if the route was chosen too well. There were few zombies on the road, and he didn't encounter any level 3 zombies. Although this was good news for the team, it was not so good for Wang Tao personally.
In addition, the danger of flying zombie beasts made Wang Tao dare not stay too far away from the team. He couldn't go to places with many zombies such as distant urban areas to hunt level 3 zombies, which caused Wang Tao's promotion to stagnate.
"Forget it, as long as we can reach the military base smoothly, it doesn't matter if we advance earlier or later..."
Wang Tao could only comfort himself.
In the evening, the team found a suitable place and began to set up camp.
Taxue finally woke up.
"Meow~"
It happily jumped on Wang Tao's shoulder and rubbed Wang Tao's face with its little head, thanking Wang Tao for letting it evolve.
Wang Tao took a look at Taxue's attributes.
[HP: 90000/90000]
[Mana: 50000/50000]
[Level: Level 3·Lord]
[Impurities in the body: 2%]
[Superpowers: Black Mist of the Mind, Iron Skin, Athlete]
"Your luck... is awesome!"
Taxue not only advanced to level 3, but also gained an additional superpower [Athlete], and the 20% chance made it successful again.
"Meow~"
Taxue was a little proud of Wang Tao's praise.
This new superpower it learned is very suitable for it, and it will be more calm when picking up spoils for Wang Tao in the future.
At this time, Wei Zhenguo suddenly came over.
"Wang Tao, I feel like it's going to rain."
Wang Tao had told them before that rain in the apocalypse might not be a good thing, and it might be acid rain. If it rains, it's best not to go out.
Although Wang Tao only mentioned it briefly, he still remembered it firmly. Now that he felt that it might rain, he hurried over to remind Wang Tao.
"Huh? Rain?"
Wang Tao raised his head and saw some dark clouds in the sky. Since the sun had already set, he had not noticed them before.
In his previous life, he remembered clearly that the first rain after the apocalypse was exactly one month after the apocalypse. And now, it was still a few days away from a month.
If it doesn't rain in the next few days, it will be just enough for them to reach the Wuyang military base. But if it rains, it's hard to say. This is not only because of the corrosive acid rain itself, but also because these corrosive acid rains can make zombies evolve. If the zombies on the road become stronger, it will definitely greatly affect their speed.
"How long do you think it will rain?"
Wang Tao asked again. He didn't know much about this.
Wei Zhenguo thought for a while and said:
"It will probably rain tonight, and no later than tomorrow morning."
"Tonight... No, we have to set up camp somewhere else!"
Wang Tao immediately went to find Bai Hao.
They are now on a flat ground in the suburbs. Although it is suitable for rest, there are no buildings above their heads to block the rain.
These corrosive acid rains can cause some negative conditions to people, and even cause death. It will also corrode steel. If they don't take protective measures, their car may have problems... For safety reasons, it is better to change places.
Bai Hao trusted Wang Tao very much. When he heard that Wang Tao was a little worried about the rain, he immediately said:
"Let's go to another place. There is a small town in front. Let's go there. But then we have to trouble you to clean up the zombies."
"Okay, that's it."
Wang Tao looked at the map and immediately made a decision.
So under the puzzled eyes of many people, the convoy set off again and headed for the town.
Wang Tao had already flown there in advance. In addition to him, Wei Zhenguo and other second-level superpowers also took a helicopter to go with him.
If they want to clean up the zombies in the town, it is more convenient for them to use their superpowers.
Wang Tao first searched around and confirmed that there were no third-level zombies, so he led everyone to kill them. When the large army arrived at the town, there was no zombie left alive.
Wang Tao didn't have to worry about the next thing. Bai Hao and others were busy.
When they hid the cars in garages, indoor parking lots and other places, it really started to drizzle in the sky, and it became more and more, and soon it became a downpour. The most important thing is that this is corrosive acid rain just as Wang Tao said!
Some people touched the acid rain without believing in it, and soon felt uncomfortable all over, nauseous and retching, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
"It's a good thing I listened to you, otherwise it would be a big trouble!"
Bai Hao was somewhat relieved.
Wang Tao looked at the heavy rain and touched his chin thoughtfully.
Although the corrosive acid rain in this life came a little early, it was not necessarily a bad thing - corrosive acid rain would make zombies evolve, and he was still short of a third-level crystal core!
"After a night of baptism, there should be a lot of third-level zombies tomorrow, right? Maybe I can be promoted to the fourth level tomorrow!"
