Chapter Forty-Six: The Road to Advancement

The last four members of the group continued to move, and as they advanced, the captain told them about the origin of the so-called "monkey tricksters".

Just like their name, the monkey charmers were originally brushed monkeys on the streets in the old days to beg for food, and after the establishment of the new world, the phenomenon of begging for food on the streets was not allowed, and the authorities drove them into the old town.

In the new era, the blood supply is tight, and it is extremely rare in the old city. Due to the extreme lack of blood supply, most of the weak people in the old city quickly starved to death, while a small number of people and their monkeys drank the blood that had deteriorated due to long-term drinking, and once again mutated.

It's kind of like a mutant new human, but these guys are intelligent.

It's not just the blood of old humans who have spoiled, these guys even drink the blood of new humans.

Strictly speaking, this kind of secondary mutant can no longer belong to the category of human beings, they feed on the blood of all living things, and if you have to give them a definition, they can be called monsters.

Speaking of "spoiled blood", the security guards who followed behind all looked disgusted. In the new world, spoiled blood is like maggot-spoiled food in the world, which is not only difficult to swallow, but also brings various diseases.

For the new humans, there are no diseases such as AIDS and cancer, and the only diseases that they fear are mutations.

Mutations may die directly, or they may turn new humans into humans who don't look like humans and ghosts, and occasionally bring certain abilities, but most of them become monsters, monsters with thinking and intelligence.

And the source of these spoiled blood is precisely the "underground blood traffickers" that Wang Hao and they want to exterminate today. These blood traffickers will occasionally discard spoiled human blood.

Strictly speaking, it's not just the "monkey tricksters", most of the creatures in the old city live on the spoiled blood discarded by blood dealers and the blood of other creatures.

The monkey charmers, on the other hand, rarely attack other creatures in the Old Town, and are extremely hostile to outsiders.

"Parasitic mutuality?" Wang Hao suddenly thought of this word.

"But we're also unlucky, this kind of secondary mutation is rare, I've been to the old city three or four times before, and I haven't encountered it." The captain shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, the ability and number of guys with secondary mutations are limited, otherwise it would be a big trouble to rush out of the old city." ”

Wang Hao is different from what they think, and he doesn't know what the origin of the life of the secondary mutant is?

As he was walking, the intercom worn by the captain suddenly rang.

"Attention teams, attention to teams, the number of secondary mutants in the old city has suddenly increased, and there have already been four teams encountered! Again, pay attention to each team, and shoot directly when you encounter a secondary mutant! ”

The intercom is in public mode, and the voice on the other end is clear, serious with a faint uneasiness.

This uneasiness instantly had a contagious effect, and the faces of the team, including the captain, changed slightly. Except for Wang Hao, there is no difference between the scars on his face now, and his face has not changed.

"Be vigilant, and shoot immediately if there is any abnormality!" The captain had no better choice but to be vigilant.

At this moment, one of the security guards who walked at the end suddenly let out a terrible scream.

Everyone subconsciously looked back and saw that there was a large hole in his chest, the hole was empty, and a dry hand was sticking out of the window of the house next to him, and a steaming heart was being held in his hand.

The metal finger cuffs on his dry hands are the monkey tricksters who escaped just now!

Without saying a word, the captain pulled the trigger across the wall and aimed behind the window, and several other people also opened fire.

The arm retracted into the window with lightning speed.

When the bullet was finished, the captain walked to the window and looked inside, and the abandoned old house was empty and empty.

"Damn, the action is too fast, I can't hit at all!" The captain scolded and swung his fist hard.

Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed on the captain's head, squeaking and rattling.

Wang Hao fixed his eyes and saw that it was the mutant monkey who had escaped just now.

The mutant monkey did the same, scratching the captain's face fiercely.

"Heaven sent it!"

Wang Hao drew his knife and slashed without hesitation, and the people around him only saw a black light flashing, and the captain and the monkey above his head suddenly maintained their movements as if they had been immobilized, and were stunned in place.

A faint line of blood appeared from the monkey's shoulder, spread to the captain's head, down the tip of his eyebrows and nose, through his throat, and down to his lower abdomen.

After a second, blood began to seep out of the midline, at first it was just red beads of blood, then it turned into blood lines, and finally the body of the captain and the monkey suddenly split into two pieces, and fell to one side, and a large amount of blood spurted out more than half a meter high like a fountain.

The blood spilled Wang Hao's head and face, and then turned into the nourishment of the pure-blood tree. Two second-order abilities and three first-order abilities have become a total of fifty life origins.

Almost, with ten more points, you can upgrade a third-order ability.

"You, you killed the captain!" A security guard couldn't help but scream, and actually pointed his gun at Wang Hao.

"If I don't kill him, he will die too." Wang Hao turned around and looked at the remaining security guards covered in blood.

The muzzles of the remaining three guns were all aimed at themselves.

"Why, I killed the mutant monkey and saved you, and you still have to deal with me?" Wang Hao asked in a cold voice.

"No, I want to report to my superiors, don't think about this black cauldron, we will help you carry it!" A security guard couldn't wait to pick up the intercom from the captain and press the button to talk.

Wang Hao indifferently waved the tiger tooth long knife again, and the jagged blade easily cut off the guard's arm, followed by the major artery in his neck.

Of course, for new humans, blood loss is not fatal in a short period of time, so Wang Hao's wrist deviated slightly, and he cut off half of his head by the way.

Wang Hao's consistent attitude is to either not do it or do it absolutely, without waiting for the two security guards behind him to react, he raised his left hand and fired four shots without looking back.

The ability to control first-order thermal weapons is not high-level, but it is by no means a decoration. Within two seconds, four bullets whistled out, piercing the eyebrows and hearts of the two security guards.

The blood of these three security guards provided Wang Hao with nearly forty points of life origin, and the total number of life sources stored in the pure-blood tree reached one hundred points, which was enough to upgrade to a third-order.

However, Wang Hao did not rush to improve, but looked around vigilantly, picked up the intercom and pressed the call button.

"Hey, hey, I'm the seventeenth squad, and when our team encounters a monster, I'm the only one left!" Wang Hao pretended to be panicked.

There was a rustling sound on the other end of the intercom, and after a while, a very official and formulaic voice replied: "Roger, the old town is full of dangers, please protect yourself!" Blood Cow is proud of you! ”

After saying that, it hung up over there, and there was a rustling noise from the intercom.

"For the sake of glory, it's not like fooling a group of stunned young people who are blinded by interests to send them to death." Wang Hao sneered, using the "sense of honor" to fool the hot-blooded young man to sell his life, whether it is the rulers of the new world or the old world, this trick is also very effective.

But in this way, Wang Hao was completely relieved, it seemed that the blood cow didn't care about the dead, and the chance of being suspected was even smaller.

Using his dark night vision and perception ability, he glanced around within a hundred meters, except for a few ordinary people who hid in the broken buildings on both sides of the road and did not dare to show their heads, there were no other superpowers.

Take advantage of this opportunity to choose to improve your abilities.

At present, there are a total of 113 life origins, and from the perspective of the pure-blood tree, it takes 80 origins to increase strength and agility to the third order, and it takes a full 110 points to improve the control of cold weapons to the third order.

It is also a third-order, but the cold weapon control obviously has an extra part of the life origin, probably because this is a relatively out-of-the-way ability.

But it's worth it, and the price it needs to spend is a lot of real combat power.

If the superpowers of the basic systems such as strength and agility are compared to internal strength, the auxiliary superpower is a trick, and the attack superpower is a weapon, and the internal power is the foundation, but the initial improvement of combat power is not as obvious as the other two systems.

Of course, when the "internal strength" is high to a certain extent, it is another situation.

As for the other abilities, the recovery ability is not considered, the perception ability is already the third order, and if it is improved again, the second layer of the pure-blood tree needs to be opened, which is a big project that costs 2000 points of life origin, and it is not considered for the time being.

There are also options for intelligence and defense, both of which are currently first-order, and a hundred points are enough to raise one of them to third-order.

In addition, from the branches of the three major ability systems on the pure-blood tree, there are still a large number of ability systems that have not been lit, such as the attack super system, and there is no first-order ability.

Wang Hao was faced with a choice. The three major systems of the pure-blood tree, a total of dozens of superpowers, each of which is different, it is of course the best to be able to improve them all, but it is obviously impossible, the origin of life is limited.

And the consequences of ten thousand essential oils are bound to be anything, but they are not proficient in anything, Wang Hao believes that it is necessary to choose a clear development route, and make every effort to improve the main abilities involved in this route, so that the limited source of life can produce the greatest effect, that is, combat effectiveness.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Hao decided that his combat mode at this stage is still based on melee cold weapon attacks, that is, strength and agility are the foundation, and cold weapon control is skill, with keen perception ability.

As for defense and recovery, of course, they are the only magic weapons to save lives, but after the recovery ability of pure-blood humans, the importance of these two surnames is relatively reduced.

Moreover, the gap between the third-order defense and the first-order defense is not insurmountable, with his current third-order perception ability and dark night vision, he can completely dodge too strong opponents in advance.

In the end, he made up his mind, consumed one hundred and ten life sources, and increased his ability to control cold weapons to the third order.

At the moment when the ascension was completed, on the auxiliary branch of the pure-blood tree, the fruit representing the control of the cold weapon also became larger, from the previous green to mature.

The effect brought about by the control of the third-order cold weapon greatly increases the sharpness of the weapon, with an effect called "sharpness".

"A huge increase? What is the concept of maximum? ”

Wang Hao's heart moved, pulled out the tiger tooth long knife, and walked to a stone pier in the middle of the road.

The stone pier is nearly one meter high and almost 40 centimeters in diameter, and it is estimated that it was used to stop cars in the old days. Wang Hao took a deep breath and slashed towards the stone pier with a knife.

With a soft sound of "snort", Wang Hao's hand sank slightly, and the tiger tooth long knife smoothly passed through the stone, cutting the stone pier into two parts.

Wang Hao recalled the first time he used the tiger tooth long knife to cut the iron bar, the main reason was that the iron bar was not thick, the sharpness of the tiger tooth and several of his superpowers, and this time because the stone pier was very thick, if you relied purely on strength and superpowers, it would be easy to break the tiger tooth, at least it would leave a gap on the blade.

At this time, there were only a few faint scratches on Huya's knife, Wang Hao wiped it with his sleeve, and the scratches disappeared, which shows that the sharpness of Huya has reached a terrifying point.

If the second-order cold weapon control is still a bit of a "flowery" suspicion, then the third-order is completely powerful.

Wang Hao was very satisfied with the long knife and continued to walk towards the depths of the old city.

He was eager to see how the new humans, or monsters, in the old city lived.
