Chapter 25 Ye Bing's backbone
As the saying goes, there will be gains and gains, and there will be gains and losses.
Although compared to the previous two times, Ye Bing only walked two or three meters more towards the outside of the protective circle, the disaster had already happened.
When he saw more and more zombies gathering around him in the dim moonlight, he began to realize that something was wrong. So he didn't even dare to hesitate for more than half a second, and ran back directly towards the base.
After that, for a long, long time, when he remembered that day, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart for a long time. Because he knew that with the dangerous situation at that time, even if he delayed for another half a second and attracted one more zombie, I am afraid that he and his base would have already turned into ashes!
However, even though his reflexes were astute enough, he still attracted too many zombies during that operation. Twenty-eight, to be exact. This is even more than the maximum number of zombies that Natasha had previously given to guarantee the safety of the base!
Therefore, when Ye Bing saw through the protective film that the group of black-pressed zombies were attacking the base, he made a decision like a broken boat: get out of the base!
He wants to continue to use his body as bait to draw the attention of the zombies, so as to buy more time for the beam tower!
So, wearing that silver tightsuit and holding a dagger in his hand, he began to play a game of peek-a-boo survival around the main base with nearly thirty zombies!
In the process of escaping, Ye Bing also had to be on guard at all times. The first point is that it must not leave the confines of the protective circle. Once out of the protective ring, he will directly face the thousands of zombies outside, and the consequence of doing so is only to meet death faster! Therefore, he had to limit his range of motion to that narrow area!
And the second thing he needs to watch out for is that he must not stand between the zombies and the beam tower! The beam tower can automatically target zombies, but it will not deliberately avoid Ye Bing. If he accidentally gets in the way of the beam tower, the flying lasers will be the first to kill him!
In this dangerous situation of having wolves in front and tigers in the back, in the end, Ye Bing successfully delayed until the moment when all the zombies were killed. However, in just five minutes, it seems like a lifetime for Ye Bing!
It was also during that great escape that Ye Bing was caught with four big holes! Fortunately, with the protection of the tights, he himself was not seriously harmed, otherwise, he would have become a lifeless zombie at this moment.
The second dangerous situation was something Ye Bing hadn't thought of before.
After having the first lesson, Ye Bing didn't dare to be careless no matter what, and only attracted a dozen zombies at most at a time, preferring to act a few more times than taking risks. However, that time, Ye Bing still made a mistake.
At first, the dozen or so zombies were normal, and as soon as they entered the protective circle, they rushed towards the base in a hurry. But after the laser emitted by the beam tower successfully killed the first zombie, the remaining dozen zombies actually changed the direction of their attack and gnawed towards the beam tower!
This situation really frightened Ye Bing!
Don't forget, compared to the "high health" of 400 points in the main base, the health of the beam tower is only a measly 170 points!
More than a dozen zombies attack together, and it can be dismantled in tens of seconds!
So, seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Bing could only run out of the base helplessly and made a human bait again. This time, it finally attracted the attention of the zombies, but at the same time, it inevitably added a few more openings to the tights.
After two tosses, the energy liquid in the tights was basically all gone, and the function of increasing strength and maintaining body temperature naturally became ineffective.
Fortunately, according to Natasha, this kind of thing can not only be mass-produced, but even further upgraded, provided that a "tech tree" is built and related technologies are unlocked. Ye Bing silently glanced at the construction page, the construction cost of the technology tree is 5 energy costs, so as long as the material recovery tower is completed, plus the pile of zombie corpses in the protective circle, it is not too much of a problem to have a technology tree.
In addition, the phenomenon of zombies actively changing their targets to attack the beam tower also made Ye Bing aware of a problem, that is, in addition to the most attractive "food", zombies may also have a certain probability of attacking the "most threatening" things. As for the reason, Ye Bing can't explain it clearly, I'm afraid it can only be summed up as a kind of "nature".
After more than two days of research, Ye Bing has gradually become familiar with the various operations of the base. For example, he found a small hole in the main console where the crystals were stored, and they could be used to recharge the base when they were available. For example, he found that there was also a real-time monitor on the base, which was connected to the large screen signal in the base, which could detect the situation within 150 meters of the main base. With this thing, Ye Bing was able to further grasp the changes in the number of zombies around him, and the detection range of the monitor would also expand with the increase in the level of the main base.
Therefore, during the usual rest stage, Ye Bing will always turn on the monitor to study the behavior and habits of the zombies, and at the same time, he also inadvertently discovered a problem. Although he has attracted and killed more than 100 zombies in the past two and a half days, the density of zombies near the base has not changed significantly. As long as the number of zombies inside is reduced, the zombies outside will quickly fill in, which not only brings convenience to Ye Bing, but also brings trouble.
The convenient place is, of course, in the difficulty of attracting zombies. Since the base is always surrounded by zombies, as long as he steps out of the protective circle, there will naturally be a steady stream of zombies being attracted in, reducing many dangers.
But on the other hand, if the zombies at the gate of the base are always so full, it will be a big problem for him to leave the base again. Although he himself is now living without worrying about food and clothing, and there is no danger to his life, he is always worried about Ji Xiaoxiao's family outside, especially Uncle Ji. According to the normal historical progress, in about ten days, Ji Yun will die of diabetes and other complications! Before that, Ye Bing had to find the medicine for the treatment and guarantee that it would be sent out!
Ye Bing is not an ungrateful person. In his life, there were many people who looked down on him, and there were many people who ignored him, but there were very few people who loved him and treated him as his own family.
Therefore, when God gave him a chance to start again, he had already secretly vowed in his heart: this time, he must not live as he did before he was reborn. In this life, he has to live a breath, he can no longer let those who are really good to him die in despair and pain, he wants them to live with the dignity of human beings in this last world because of his appearance!
