Chapter 79: I Am the Stranger

"You're a Stranger?!"

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

"I am."

Wang Tao nodded again.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Smack~"

A circle of visible ripples spread from Wang Tao's fingertips to the surrounding areas, and a worn-out poster hanging on the wall next to it was lifted and then shattered.

"Ability Blaster."

Wang Tao said lightly.

The eyes of the crowd widened as they looked at all this in front of them. After being stunned for a while, they looked at Wang Tao with excitement and surprise.

"It's really a stranger!"

"Can we really be Adepts?!"

"How do you feel like this ability is better than a gun! There was no sound, and the gunfire was too loud......"

Several of the soldiers were also struggling to maintain discipline, and they all whispered with some excitement.

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

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

"I don't mind."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You cure your disease!"

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

"Comrade Wang, I didn't lie to you, as long as the alien is willing to stay in our base, he can be directly promoted to a committee member!"

Wei Zhenguo first affirmed his previous words, and then said with a serious face:

"But since ancient times, rights and duties have been reciprocal. While enjoying rights, it is natural to fulfill corresponding obligations. If you don't have this mental awareness...... There's no way to be a committee member! ”

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

Wang Tao also doesn't mind helping other survivors when he has the ability. But this help is voluntary, not that he wants to be a babysitter.

Therefore, Wang Tao asked directly:

"What are rights? What are the obligations? ”

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

"The commissioners have access to all the resources in the base! On some important resources, say hello to other members before using them, as long as there are not too many people who oppose them. This is the right of the Commissioner. As for the obligation...... In fact, it's very simple, our base will not force anyone to do anything, everything we do speaks with contribution, including the commissioners! ”

"Therefore, the obligation of the committee members is: to provide a minimum of 10,000 contributions to the base every month! Whether it's guarding the base, going out to scavenge for supplies, or finding new survivors, as long as you can provide 10,000 contributions to the base every month, if you can't meet this condition, it means that you will automatically withdraw from the position of the commissioner......"

10,000 contributions per month is not high, at least Wang Tao thinks it is not high, he can complete it without much effort.

However, this contribution is calculated on a monthly basis, and now it is only about a month before the end of the world...... How many times have they practiced it?

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

"In fact, the committee system and contribution are all things that we have only recently discussed, and they are currently in trial operation, so 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 suitable system for the Mizusawa base! ”

Looking at Wei Zhenguo, who was a little impassioned, Wang Tao did not express any opinions.

The system looks okay, but it's the last days. There are too many uncertainties, including zombies, unknown monsters, and even people.

So Wang Tao can't say whether it's good or not, he can only say that he can take one step at a time.

"What do you think? If you can accept it, when they all come back, we will officially promote you to the committee member, and some details will be clarified to you. ”

Wei Zhenguo saw that Wang Tao didn't react, so he spoke a little eagerly.

"No problem."

Wang Tao directly agreed.

His purpose in revealing himself to be an Adept was to take a seat on this committee.

Hidden strength? It must be hidden, after all, everything is left with a hand, this is all hole cards. But when it's time to flex your muscles, you have to show your muscles.

Just like at this time, Wang Tao is going to live in the Mizusawa base, and the Mizusawa base values the supernatural very much, and even directly gives the seat of the committee member.

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

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

He now wants to improve his strength and loot more supplies to increase his capital to survive in the last days.

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

For example, take down the members of this committee...... He definitely can't stay in the base all the time, he wants to go out and kill zombies, he wants crystal nucleus, he wants to become stronger. While becoming stronger, there is no problem in scavenging some materials in exchange for contributions.

Wang Tao chatted with Wei Zhenguo for a while, but with the doctor's medication, Wei Zhenguo became more and more sleepy. Wang Tao took the initiative to stop communicating.

"No, I'm too sleepy, I'll sleep for a while......"

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

The soldier next to him kindly extinguished Wei Zhenguo's cigarette and put it in the cigarette case.

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

"It's stable for the time being, the guard squadron is not in danger of life, but then I need to recuperate for a while, and I can't go out again."

"Thank you, Dr. Chen."

The soldier saluted.

"Hey! This is what I should do! ”

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

"Hello, my name is Chen Zhuang. Ear Dong Chen, strong and strong. ”

After pausing for a moment on the opponent's pockmarked figure, Wang Tao reached out and shook the opponent's hand.

"Hello Dr. Chen."

"Wang Tao, I haven't seen a living supernatural person yet! Don't you really consider letting me observe for a while? It's a new thing, after all, and there are many things you may not know about, but let's observe and discuss it together, and maybe we'll figure it out! ”

Chen Zhuang still didn't want to give up.

"Still can't."

Wang Tao hurriedly shook his head, you said that if you are a beauty, forget it. A big man who wants to observe what he does all day long......

"By the way, you said you hadn't seen the Adept? Who is the Adept that the squadron has seen? ”

Wang Tao asked with some curiosity.

"I really haven't seen it, it was seen outside by the guard squadron, he said that he saw a very powerful person, that person is holding a steel bar, and he can deal with a lot of zombies with the strength of one person......"

"That's right...... Didn't invite him to the base? ”

Wang Tao asked again.

"The guard squadron said that he was invited, but he is a stranger, and he can be free in the last days, so he naturally does not want to come to us to be restrained......"

Chen Zhuang's tone was a little sour.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

It may be true that you don't want to be restrained, after all, you suddenly get superpowers, and who doesn't swell? If Wang Tao hadn't seen a lot of special zombies and seen that terrifying monster with a million blood volume, then he might have swelled a little.

However, it is purely Chen Zhuang's imagination to be free in the last days, especially the "crazy demon" zombies that have appeared recently, even if it is him, he does not dare to say that he will be able to deal with it.

"By the way, can I tell me how your ability came about? Did you eat a zombie crystal nucleus? ”

Chen Zhuang didn't bother with the others, he hurriedly asked the question he was most concerned about now.

The soldiers standing beside the bedside not far away also pricked up their ears.

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

"Didn't the Guard Squadron just say that humans will become supernatural if they eat the zombie crystal nucleus? How do you ......"

"Ahem, that's right. This conclusion is just our speculation, and we have done some experiments, but ...... Didn't make it......"

Chen Zhuang was a little embarrassed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The look of the guard squadron just now is actually pretending, right?

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

"You've done some experiments, too? Mean, you have a lot of zombie crystal nuclei? ”

Wang Tao looked at Chen Zhuangdao.

"It's not a lot, but after all, there are some people and guns in our base, and we still killed a few special zombies...... How? Are you interested in the Zombie Nucleus? ”

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 first admitted it generously, and then said, "My ability is obtained by eating this zombie crystal nucleus." The Adeptus will continue to eat the same type of zombie crystal nucleus, and will continue to grow stronger......"

"Sure enough, it's eating crystal nuclei! And it will continue to get stronger! ”

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

"But, there are side effects."

Wang Tao said suddenly.

"Huh? Side effect? What are the side effects? ”

Chen Zhuang was a little dazed, he obviously didn't know about this problem.

"I don't know exactly yet, but you can simply understand that eating this zombie crystal nucleus does give you the ability, and the more you eat, the stronger the ability becomes. But at the same time, impurities accumulate in your body. Too many impurities will cause damage to the body, and even turn into zombies! ”

Eating the zombie crystal nucleus will get the ability, Wang Tao has no need to hide it. As soon as the zombie crystal nucleus appears, it will make people involuntarily want to eat it, and there is no way to hide it.

However, in addition to the benefits, Wang Tao also said the disadvantages of the zombie crystal nucleus. Whether to eat or not is someone else's business, he has no right to care, the most he can do is to remind everyone to be cautious when they integrate.

"It's so serious......"

Chen Zhuang was a little surprised.

"This is the price of becoming stronger!"

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

Although he doesn't have to pay this price, it doesn't prevent him from pretending to be a little bigger.

The few soldiers next to him suddenly felt a sense of awe.

"Then whether or not you want to get an ability or not, you have to think about it?"

Chen Zhuang muttered.

"That's not true, it's always good to be a supernatural if you have the chance. What I want to say is that you should always understand that there is a price to be paid for becoming stronger. Also, you don't have the ability to have it if you want to, haven't you tried it and failed? ”

"Uh, that's what you're talking about......"

"Oh yes, I forgot to say it. Even if the fusion of the zombie crystal nucleus is unsuccessful, it will also accumulate impurities in the body. ”

"Good guy, I'm good for nothing! But if the people they used were in danger, they ate the zombie crystal nucleus, but they didn't get the ability......"

Chen Zhuang and the soldiers glanced at each other, their eyes a little worried.

Wang Tao explained:

"It's okay for the time being, if you eat too much, something may happen."

"That's good." Chen Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "But the probability of eating the zombie crystal nucleus to get the ability seems to be very low!" Three of us did the experiment, but none of them worked......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

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

However, they were able to come up with three crystal nuclei for experiments, so it seems that they still have a lot of them!

After becoming a committee member, you should be able to use these crystal nuclei, right?

Wang Tao thought secretly.

Regarding Wang Tao's appointment as a committee member, Wei Zhenguo woke up halfway through, and he said that several committee members are outside now, and it is difficult for him to make decisions alone. After everyone returns, they will discuss some details with Wang Tao, and if Wang Tao is okay, then he will directly become one of the committee members of the base.

It was only then did Wang Tao know that the seven committee members in the base, except for Committee Member Liu who knew electronic technology and Committee Member Zhou who managed personnel, the other five committee members would go out to collect materials.

Of course, this is not to say that they are completely selfless.

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

Wei Zhenguo, although they 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 full hundred, the feeling of improving physical fitness is still relatively clear.

They may not deliberately take the initiative to find zombies to kill, but they will definitely do it when they encounter zombies in the way. Getting stronger and bringing benefits to the base can be done at the same time.

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

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

If they didn't have absolute strength by the time they ran out of bullets, he was sure that someone would try to overthrow him and replace him.

Therefore, it is important to improve your own strength. Regardless of whether he Wei Zhenguo is a member of the committee or not, he will go out and hunt zombies by the way while looting supplies.

Wang Tao deeply agrees with this, in the last days, strength is everything. Everything else is imaginary.

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

In fact, he still wanted to inquire about more news, but this Dr. Chen always wanted to study him, which made Wang Tao very uncomfortable, so he could only withdraw first.

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

Wang Tao shook his head a little speechlessly, he is that kind of person!

But I'm still going to go at night, and it has nothing to do with girls or anything, the main thing is that he knows other people in the base.

In the afternoon, Wang Tao did not rush out to brush materials, but walked around the base, felt the atmosphere of the base, and exchanged food stamps for a meal...... I can only say that I can eat it.

In the evening, the rain stopped.

On the square outside the complex, more than 200 people gathered together, which looked quite spectacular. Especially Wang Tao has not seen a few people in the past month, and when he saw so many people at once, he felt a kind of "human taste".

However, Wang Tao's gaze did not stay on these people for too long, he looked at the firelight on the periphery of the base, and suddenly felt a little surprised.

He had considered before that if a survivor base was built, the easiest way to prevent zombies from entering the base would be to build a wall.

At the beginning of the end times, the walls can indeed keep the zombies at bay. But a month after the end of the world, the walls are no longer good, or the kind of low walls are not good, because there are zombies who can climb the walls.

Building a taller wall should be able to hold it out, but it would take a lot of people to build a wall like that. Ordinary survivor bases, including this Mizusawa base, do not have enough manpower to build infrastructure.

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

Wang Tao felt that the idea should work, but he didn't have a chance to test it.

And now, he sees that the Mizusawa base is doing just that.

When Wang Tao came, he saw that there were many iron barrels with burning marks at the entrance of the Mizusawa base. Now at night, the barrels were lit with flames, including some of the wallsβ€”the entire base seemed to be surrounded by flames.

Outside the base, some zombies subconsciously wanted to come over after feeling the light, but the heat of the flames made them retreat, and they didn't dare to step forward, only dared to roar in the distance.

"Hey!"

Chen Zhuang patted Wang Tao on the shoulder.

"These fires, they're pretty good, aren't they? At that time, after we accidentally discovered that zombies were afraid of fire, we came up with this method of surrounding the base with fire. It turned out to be a wise decision! Don't think that the glow of the flames will attract zombies - although they do attract some, they don't dare to come, and they will naturally leave when daylight. You should also know that zombies are very active at night, and if you don't do this, the walls of our base may not be able to stop them, not to mention the fact that there are 'mad' zombies who can climb the walls......"

Seeing Chen Zhuang's somewhat complacent appearance, Wang Tao did not discourage him by saying that he had long known that zombies were afraid of fire, and he also thought of using fire to block zombies.

"It's really amazing."

Wang Tao praised.

His praise made Chen Zhuang very useful.

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

"Huh? You are...... New today? ”

When Chen Zhuang saw Han Rui, he was immediately a little surprised. He had the impression that there was no such policewoman in the base.

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

Han Rui shook hands with Chen Zhuang generously.

"You're coming along? Are you husband and wife? ”

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

"You're mistaken, we met halfway. Han Rui's husband seems to be also from our base? ”

Wang Tao took the initiative to explain.

"Oh, sorry, sorry!"

Chen Zhuang knew that he had made a fuss, and hurriedly apologized.

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

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