Chapter 80 I Am a Superpower

"Are you a superpower?!"

Everyone subconsciously exclaimed, Wei Zhenguo even held the bed and was about to get up, but luckily he was held down by others.

"I am."

Wang Tao nodded again.

While speaking, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Pa~"

A circle of ripples visible to the naked eye spread from Wang Tao's fingertips to the surroundings, and a shabby poster hanging on the wall next to him was lifted up and then shattered.

"Superpower·Shock Wave."

Wang Tao spoke calmly.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw everything in front of them. After being stunned for a while, they looked at Wang Tao with excitement and surprise.

"He's actually a superpower!"

"Can we really become superpowers?!"

"Why do I feel like this superpower is better than a gun! It doesn't make any sound, but the sound of the gun is too loud..."

Several soldiers could no longer maintain discipline, and they all whispered excitedly.

Dr. Chen looked at Wang Tao with excitement and expectation.

"Mr. Wang, if you don't mind, can you let me study it - oh no, observe it for a while? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you!"

"I mind."

"..."

"Cure your illness!"

Wei Zhenguo turned his head and scolded him, as if the injured being treated was not him. Then he turned back and showed a smile to Wang Tao:

"Comrade Wang, I'm not lying to you. As long as a person with superpowers is willing to stay in our base, he or she can be directly promoted to a committee member!"

Wei Zhenguo first confirmed what he said before, and then said seriously:

"But since ancient times, rights and obligations have been equal. While enjoying rights, you must naturally fulfill corresponding obligations. Without this ideological awareness... there is no way to become a member of the committee!"

Wang Tao was not surprised by Wei Zhenguo's words. After all, Wei Zhenguo himself is a security force, and his ideological consciousness must be much higher than that of ordinary people.

Wang Tao doesn't mind helping other survivors when he is able. But this help is voluntary, not that he has to be a nanny.

Therefore, Wang Tao asked directly:

"What are the rights? What are the obligations?"

Wei Zhenguo took a long puff of cigarette, and then said:

"Members can enjoy all the resources in the base! For some important resources, you can say hello to other members before using them, as long as there are not too many people who object. This is the right of the members. As for the obligations... it is actually very simple. Our base We will not force anyone to do anything, everything we do is based on contribution, including the committee members!”

"So the obligation of the committee member is: to provide a minimum contribution of 10,000 to the base every month! Whether it is protecting the base, going out to search for supplies, or finding new survivors, as long as it can provide a contribution of 10,000 to the base every month The degree is enough. If you fail to meet this condition, it means you will automatically withdraw from the position of committee member..."

Ten thousand contribution points per month is not high, at least Wang Tao doesn't think it is high. He can complete it without much effort.

However, this contribution is calculated in units of months, and it is only about a month before the end of the world... How many times have they implemented it?

As if he knew Wang Tao's thoughts, Wei Zhenguo said directly:

"Things like the committee system and contribution levels have actually been discussed recently and are currently in trial operation. There may be some problems and shortcomings. But I believe that this may not be the most perfect system, but it is definitely the most perfect one. A system suitable for Mizuze Base!”

Looking at the somewhat impassioned Wei Zhenguo, Wang Tao did not express any opinion.

The system seems okay, but this is the end of the world. There are too many uncertainties, including zombies, unknown monsters, and even people.

So Wang Tao couldn't say whether it was good or not. He could only say to take it one step at a time.

"What do you think? If you can accept it, when they all come back later, we will officially promote you to a committee member, and we will explain some details to you clearly."

Seeing that Wang Tao didn't respond, Wei Zhenguo spoke a little eagerly.

"no problem."

Wang Tao agreed directly.

His purpose in revealing that he was a superpower was to gain a seat on this committee.

Hidden strength? It must be hidden, after all, it is always a trump card. But when it’s time to flex your muscles, you have to show them.

Just like now, Wang Tao is planning to live in Shuize Base, and Shuize Base values ​​​​people with special abilities and even directly gives seats to committee members.

If he doesn't take advantage of the fact that there are few people with superpowers and take this position quickly, if there are more people with superpowers in the future, the conditions will definitely improve.

Wang Tao is actually not very keen on power - at least not now.

He now wants to improve his strength and collect more supplies to increase his capital for survival in the end of the world.

But if there is a chance to live a better life, then there is no need for him to hide it.

For example, taking down this committee member... He definitely can't stay in the base all the time. He wants to go out to kill zombies, he wants the crystal core, and he wants to become stronger. Then while getting stronger, there is no problem in collecting some materials in exchange for contribution points.

Wang Tao chatted with Wei Zhenguo for a while, but as the doctor prescribed medicine, Wei Zhenguo became more and more sleepy. Wang Tao took the initiative to stop communicating.

"No, I'm too sleepy. I'll take a nap first..."

Wei Zhenguo smoked half of his fourth cigarette and fell asleep on the hospital bed.

The soldier next to him put out Wei Zhenguo's cigarette very considerately and put it in the cigarette case.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the soldier:

"We are stable for the time being. There is no life-threatening danger to the Guard Squadron, but we need to rest for a while and cannot go out again."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Chen."

The soldier saluted.

"Hey! This is what I should do!"

The doctor went to wash his hands briefly, then came to Wang Tao and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, my name is Chen Zhuang. Erdong Chen, strong Zhuang."

After pausing for a moment on the opponent's numb figure, Wang Tao reached out and shook hands with the opponent.

"Hello, Dr. Chen."

"Wang Tao, I haven't seen a living superpower yet! You really don't want me to observe it for a while? This superpower is a new thing after all. You may not know many things yourself, but let's observe and discuss it together. Maybe we’ll figure it out!”

Chen Zhuang still didn't want to give up.

"Still not."

Wang Tao shook his head quickly, you said it would be fine if you were a beauty. A grown man, I want to observe what he does all day long...

"By the way, you said you haven't seen any superpowers? Who is the superpower that Squadron Guard has seen?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

"I have indeed never seen it. It was something that Squadron Wei saw outside. He said he saw a very powerful person. That person was holding a steel bar and could deal with many zombies with one person..."

"Is that so... you didn't invite him to the base?"

Wang Tao asked again.

"Lieutenant Squadron Wei said he invited him, but he is a person with superpowers and can move freely in the apocalypse. Naturally, he does not want to come to our place and be restrained..."

Chen Zhuang's tone was a little sour.

"..."

It may be true that you don't want to be restricted. After all, if you suddenly gain superpowers, who wouldn't be bloated if you change it? If Wang Tao hadn't seen many special zombies and the terrifying monster with 10,000 HP, he might have been a little bloated.

However, being able to roam freely in the apocalypse is purely Chen Zhuang's imagination, especially the "crazy" zombies that have appeared recently. Even he dare not say that he will be able to deal with them.

"Oh, by the way, could you please tell me how your superpowers came about? Did you eat a zombie crystal core?"

Chen Zhuang didn't worry too much about other people. He quickly asked the question he was most concerned about now.

The soldiers standing by the hospital bed not far away also pricked up their ears.

Wang Tao did not answer directly, but said a little strangely:

"Didn't Squadron Guard just now say that humans will become superpowers after eating zombie crystal cores? How did you..."

"Well, that's it. This conclusion is just our guess. We have also done some experiments, but... none of them were successful..."

Chen Zhuang was a little embarrassed.

"..."

Co-author The squadron guard just spoke so seriously, but he was actually just showing off, right?

However, Wang Tao also heard an important message from Chen Zhuang's words.

"You have also done some experiments? Does that mean you have a lot of zombie crystal nuclei?"

Wang Tao looked at Chen Zhuang and said.

"It's not true for many, but after all, we have some people and guns in our base, and we still killed a few special zombies... What? Are you interested in zombie crystal cores?"

Chen Zhuang is also a human spirit, and it can be seen that Wang Tao pays more attention to these crystal nuclei.

"Of course." Wang Tao admitted openly at first, and then said, "My superpowers are obtained by eating this zombie crystal core. People with superpowers will continue to become stronger if they continue to eat the same type of zombie crystal cores... …”

"As expected, he eats crystal cores! And he will continue to become stronger!"

Chen Zhuang and the soldiers had a look of yearning on their faces.

"But, this has side effects."

Wang Tao suddenly said again.

"Huh? Side effects? What side effects?"

Chen Zhuang was a little confused. He obviously didn't know about this problem.

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. You can simply understand that eating this zombie crystal core will indeed gain super powers, and the more you eat, the stronger the super powers will be. But at the same time, impurities will accumulate in your body. Impurities Too much will cause harm to the body and even turn into a zombie!”

There is no need for Wang Tao to hide the fact that eating zombie crystal cores will lead to supernatural powers. As soon as the zombie crystal core appears, people can't help but want to eat it, and there is no way to hide it.

However, in addition to the advantages, Wang Tao also mentioned the disadvantages of zombie crystal cores. Whether to eat or not is someone else's business, and he has no right to control it. The most he can do is remind everyone to be more cautious when integrating.

"It's so serious..."

Chen Zhuang was a little surprised.

"This is the price of becoming stronger!"

Wang Tao looked out the window, his tone a little vicissitudes.

Although he doesn't have to pay this price, it doesn't stop him from showing off a little.

Several soldiers beside him suddenly felt a sense of awe.

"Then we need to think about whether we should obtain superpowers or not?"

Chen Zhuang murmured.

"That's not the case. If you have the chance, it's always good to become a person with superpowers. What I want to say is that you must always understand that becoming stronger requires paying a price. In addition, superpowers are not something you just want. It’s possible, haven’t you tried it and failed?”

"Well, that's what you said..."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention it. Even if the fusion of the zombie crystal core fails, impurities will still accumulate in the body."

"Good guy, it's a good thing I didn't use it! But will the people who used it be in danger? They ate the zombie crystal cores, but did not gain superpowers..."

Chen Zhuang and the soldiers looked at each other with some worry in their eyes.

Wang Tao explained:

"It's okay for now, eating too much may cause trouble."

"That's good." Chen Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "But the probability of gaining superpowers by eating zombie crystal cores seems to be very low! Three of us have done experiments, but none of them succeeded..."

"..."

Wang Tao has reason to suspect that the crystal cores fused by these three unlucky guys are all crystal cores with a success rate of less than 50%.

But they can actually take out three crystal cores for experiments, so it seems that they still have a lot in their hands!

After becoming a committee member, they should be able to use these crystal cores, right?

Wang Tao thought secretly.

Regarding Wang Tao becoming a committee member, Wei Zhenguo woke up once in the middle. He said that several committee members were outside now, and it was difficult for him to make a decision alone. After everyone returns, they will discuss some details with Wang Tao. If Wang Tao has no problem, he will directly become a member of the base committee.

Wang Tao also learned that of the seven members in the base, except for the member Liu who knows electronic technology and the member Zhou who manages personnel, the other five members will go out to search for supplies.

Of course, this does not mean that they are completely selfless.

Wei Zhenguo told Wang Tao directly that they chose to search for supplies, on the one hand, it is indeed good for the base, and on the other hand, it is also to accumulate contribution points, but there is another aspect, that is, killing zombies can improve strength!

Although Wei Zhenguo and his team can't see the blood bar, they will also increase the blood bar when they kill zombies, especially when the blood bar rises to a hundred, the feeling of physical fitness improvement is still quite clear.

They may not take the initiative to find zombies to kill, but they will definitely take action when they encounter zombies blocking the way. Becoming stronger and bringing benefits to the base can be done at the same time.

And Wei Zhenguo knows very well that now is the end of the world, and strength is the foundation of survival in the end of the world. Without strength, there is no way to convince the public.

They have guns, but the bullets will run out one day.

If they don't have absolute strength when the bullets run out, he is sure that someone will want to overthrow him and replace him.

Therefore, it is important to improve one's own strength. Whether Wei Zhenguo is a member of the committee or not, he will go out to search for supplies and hunt zombies.

Wang Tao deeply agrees with this. In the end times, strength is everything. Everything else is empty.

After Wei Zhenguo fell asleep again, Wang Tao chatted with Chen Zhuang for a while and left.

In fact, he wanted to find out more information, but Dr. Chen kept thinking about studying him, which made Wang Tao very uncomfortable, so he had to withdraw first.

Before leaving, Chen Zhuang also asked Wang Tao to attend the welcome ceremony in the evening, saying that he would definitely be very popular with the girls in the base. If he was single, he might as well find a companion.

Wang Tao shook his head speechlessly. He was that kind of person!

But he still had to go in the evening. It had nothing to do with girls or anything. The main thing was that he got to know other people in the base.

In the afternoon, Wang Tao did not rush out to brush materials, but strolled around the base, felt the atmosphere of the base, and exchanged food for a meal with food coupons. As for the evaluation of the food... I can only say that it is edible.

In the evening, the rain stopped.

More than 200 people gathered in the square outside the comprehensive building, which looked quite spectacular. Especially Wang Tao had not seen a few people in the past month. Seeing so many people at once, he felt a kind of "human flavor".

However, Wang Tao's eyes did not stay on these people for too long. He looked at the fire outside the base and was suddenly amazed.

He had considered before that if a survivor base was established, how to prevent zombies from entering the base, the simplest way should be to build a wall.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, the wall could indeed block the zombies. But one month after the apocalypse, the wall was no longer very good, or that kind of short wall was not good, because zombies that could climb the wall appeared.

Building a taller wall should be able to block it, but building such a wall requires a lot of people. Ordinary survivor bases, including this Shuize base, do not have enough people to do infrastructure construction.

Then Wang Tao thought, since zombies are afraid of fire, if the surroundings of the survivor base are set on fire, will the zombies not come over?

Wang Tao thought this idea should be feasible, but he had no chance to test it.

And now, he saw that Shuize base did it this way.

When Wang Tao came, he saw that there were many iron barrels with traces of burning at the entrance of Shuize base. Now at night, these iron barrels are ignited with flames, including some walls, and flames are also ignited-the whole base seems to be surrounded by flames.

Outside the base, some zombies subconsciously want to come over after feeling the light, but the heat of the flames makes them retreat, dare not move forward, and only dare to roar in the distance.

"Hey!"

Chen Zhuang patted Wang Tao on the shoulder.

"These fires are pretty good, right? After we accidentally discovered that zombies are afraid of fire, we came up with this method of surrounding the base with fire. Facts have proved that this is a very wise decision! Don't think that the light of the flames will attract Zombies - although they can indeed attract some, they don't dare to come over and will leave naturally during the day. You must also know that zombies are particularly active at night. If we don't do this, the walls of our base may not be able to survive. Stop them, not to mention the emergence of 'crazy' zombies that can climb walls..."

Seeing Chen Zhuang's somewhat complacent look, Wang Tao did not disappoint and said that he had long known that zombies were afraid of fire, and had also thought of using fire to block zombies.

"It's really great."

Wang Tao praised.

Chen Zhuang was greatly benefited from his praise.

At this time, a woman wearing a black police uniform appeared next to Wang Tao.

"Huh? Are you...new here today?"

Chen Zhuang was surprised when he saw Han Rui. In his impression, there was no such female police officer in the base.

"Hello, my name is Han Rui. I came to our base today with Mr. Wang Tao."

Han Rui shook hands with Chen Zhuang generously.

"You came together? Are you husband and wife?"

Chen Zhuang looked at Wang Tao and Han Rui very much and felt that they were a good match.

"You misunderstood. We met halfway. It seems that Han Rui's husband is also from our base?"

Wang Tao took the initiative to explain.

"Oh, sorry, sorry!"

Chen Zhuang knew that he had made a mistake and apologized quickly.

Han Rui first smiled apologetically at Wang Tao, then a sad look appeared on her face.

"My husband...hasn't come back yet..."
