Chapter 82: Survivors in the Mall
"So fast?"
Wang Tao was very surprised, he thought that it would take some time to make the food compressor before, but he didn't expect it to be completed in an instant.
[Charge Right Arm: Tough texture, can block knives and guns. Durability +10, Defense +10]
It's a black asymmetrical hard arm guard worn on the forearm, which feels a bit metallic to the touch, but it's light.
The size of this arm guard can be adjusted, and after a little adjustment, Wang Tao removed the steel plate on his right arm and put the arm guard on.
"Huh?"
The feeling after wearing it made Wang Tao a little surprised.
Whether he had a book or a steel plate tied to his arm, he could clearly feel the presence of the book or the steel plate. And no matter how well tied and how reasonably designed, it still affects his movements somewhat.
But after wearing this arm guard, the presence of the arm guard is not too strong, but it can make him feel that he is wearing an arm guard. And what's more, this armguard almost completely does not affect his movements! This ergonomic design is simply amazing!
No wonder it's called "Charge Right Arm", which is completely tailored for the right arm, and if it is changed to the left arm, there is no effect of this design.
"I just don't know how the defense is......"
Wang Tao took out a dagger and gently cut it at the armguard. There were no traces of the armguards. Wang Tao increased his strength again, but there was still no trace. Even if he directly slashed the arm guard with a dagger, the arm guard still didn't move. He didn't even feel the impact.
"Something......"
After thinking about it, Wang Tao directly took off the arm guard and put it on the ground, then picked up the fire axe and slashed at the arm guard.
Bang!
A layer of dust splattered on the ground, but the armguards were still fine, not even a trace remained.
"Good stuff!"
Wang Tao was overjoyed.
The defense of the right arm of this charge feels stronger than a steel plate! And in terms of use experience, it is much stronger than steel plates!
Wang Tao hurriedly put the arm guard back on, then put on the security guard jacket and put the arm guard inside, looking like he was not wearing anything on his forearm.
"The defense is basically no problem, and then look at the actual combat effect......"
There are no zombies in the mall, but the actual combat is not really to kill zombies, there is a round stone pier outside his shop, and he takes an axe to swing at this round stone pier and makes an attacking action.
Whoosh – bang!
A large chunk of the cobblestone pier was cut off.
Feeling the slightly numb palm, Wang Tao was dumbfounded.
No, he just made a swing and didn't really want to cut it down, what's going on?
Wang Tao hurriedly hid in the room, waited for a while, and after making sure that the sound did not attract zombies, he touched the right arm of the charge, and then hurriedly swung the axe and tried it a few times. This time he didn't look at the cobblestone pier again, but at the clothes in the room.
Whoosh – bang!
After a few minutes of testing, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
"I seem to get it...... No wonder it's called Charge Right Arm! ”
Wang Tao found that after he put on this right arm of the charge, if he did some quick movements, such as punching, swinging an axe, etc., the right arm of the charge would have a certain strength and speed bonus to his action!
He didn't know exactly how much the bonus was, but it definitely exceeded his own ability!
For example, if he could cut zombies with 500 blood with an axe in the past, now he may cut 600, 700, or even 800 blood!
Wang Tao carefully studied the right arm of the charge again, and then found a small mechanism in the armguard, and after opening it, there was a battery inside. It's the kind of battery that he burst out of zombies that looks very technological.
"Originally, it was electricity, so it's no wonder that cables, electronic components and batteries are needed to make the materials...... What a black technology! ”
Put the arm guards back on.
He felt that this thing smelled a bit like a mechanical exoskeleton. If in addition to this right arm, there is also a left arm, a leg guard, a chest guard, or something, then wouldn't it really be possible to make an exoskeleton?
"What do you think......
Wang Tao shook his head.
But even if these things exist, they are still very far away for him, so there is no need to think about them.
After relieving his excitement for a while, Wang Tao took out the walkie-talkie and tried to contact Ding Yuqin.
This shopping mall is about three kilometers away from the happy community, and theoretically it should be able to be contacted, depending on the quality of the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"It's me, can you hear me? It's ...... me."
"Zizi...... Zizi ......"
After the sizzling sound, there was a sudden burst of electric voices inside.
Wang Tao ...... Is that you, Wang Tao...... Zizi ......"
Although the voice was a little distorted, Wang Tao could still hear that this was Ding Yuqin.
So he walked out of the room, adjusted his position, and finally heard a fairly clear conversation by a window.
"Wang Tao, how is it over there, are you safe?"
Ding Yuqin's voice was full of worry, after Wang Tao left, she didn't turn off the walkie-talkie, and kept waiting for Wang Tao's news.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm safe here, what's wrong, isn't there anything going on at home? ”
Wang Tao listened to Ding Yuqin's voice and felt that she should be very safe.
Sure enough, Ding Yuqin said that she was very safe at home, there were no zombies and no food crisis, but she was a little scared at home alone - in fact, she was afraid that Wang Tao would leave her, but she was embarrassed to say it directly.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, probably ...... In just two days, I'll go back and take you to the Mizusawa Survivor Base. ”
After two days of observation, Wang Tao felt that this Mizusawa base was okay, at least he had no problem living here.
When his identity as a member of the committee is confirmed and he becomes the master of the base, he will go to pick up Ding Yuqin.
Of course, even if he does not have the status of a commissioner, it does not have much impact on Wang Tao, and he has always relied on his strength. However, it will be much more convenient to have this identity after all, so wait two more days.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home!"
After chatting with Ding Yuqin for a few more words, Wang Tao took the initiative to end the call.
"The right arm of the charge is made, and the situation on Ding Yuqin's side is also understood, so let's go to Borui Clinic by the way, it's not far from here. I hope I can meet a special zombie on the way......"
Thinking in his heart, Wang Tao put back on his weapon and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, his ears moved.
"There's movement upstairs!"
Wang Tao hurriedly found a corner to hide, staring at the stairs of the mall.
About a dozen seconds later, a figure with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes appeared from the entrance of the staircase.
With a baseball bat with steel spikes in his hand, he cautiously made his way to the first floor. A green health bar on his head [115/115]
"Survivors?"
Wang Tao frowned.
He thought it was a zombie just now, but he didn't expect it to be a human.
Seeing the way this person held the steel nail baseball bat tightly and searched around, Wang Tao felt that this person had some bad intentions.
"He obviously saw me in this performance. And I didn't go out when I came to the mall, so he either had a camera, or he saw the process of killing zombies in the square before......"
Wang Tao glanced at the ceiling on the first floor of the mall, there were some cameras, but some of the local wires were broken, and the mall did not have any electricity, so there was a high probability that the monitoring here would not work.
Wang Tao estimated that this person should have seen the process of killing zombies by himself.
If this person had good intentions towards him, Wang Tao felt that he should call himself when he came down, instead of sneaking around with a weapon to find him.
"I don't know what he wants to do - just grab it and ask!"
Wang Tao never minds speculating on others with the greatest malice, especially since this is the end of the world. It's always a good idea to be careful.
When watching this person touch him little by little, Wang Tao took a small mirror and put it on the ground. Then stand behind the wall, motionless.
Seeing this person getting closer and closer in the mirror, until he was a corner away from Wang Tao, Wang Tao suddenly burst out from behind the other party, suddenly hugged the other party's neck, and snatched his weapon.
"Uh......"
The man's eyes widened instantly, and his face was terrified. His hands wanted Wang Tao's arms, his body moved wildly, and his feet kicked wildly.
But he felt as if he was caught in the iron pincers, and any resistance was useless, but he moved more and more tightly.
Just when he felt the blackness in front of his eyes, the confinement on his neck suddenly disappeared.
"Ahem...... Call...... Ahem......"
Without support, the man instantly knelt on the ground, holding his neck and retching.
But before he could breathe his breath, a large hand suddenly appeared, grabbed him by the collar, and grabbed him.
Looking at the man in front of him who was wearing a black combat uniform, with a skull mask and yellow glasses on his face, more than one meter eight tall, and a burly figure that exploded, he was almost scared.
"Ahem...... Don't kill me...... Ahem...... I ......"
Wang Tao held his baseball bat in his other hand, shook it in front of him, and then said in an indifferent tone:
"What do you want to do? Sneak up on me? ”
"No...... No! I didn't even know anyone ...... here."
The man hurriedly explained.
But after hearing this, Wang Tao's face sank.
The other party obviously found out about him, but he still wants to hide it? This man really has bad intentions!
Wang Tao used the bottom of the baseball bat to poke the man's chest.
"Uhhh
The man's face turned blue in an instant, and tears welled up like a burst of the embankment.
When Wang Tao was a martial artist before, he came into contact with a master who played cold weapons, and cold weapons naturally included sticks.
The master said that in actual combat, for novices, wielding a stick to hit people is actually not the best move. Because the sticks are generally relatively long, the speed of swinging is definitely not too fast, it is easy to dodge, and the strength of the person is limited, even if it hits, it will not cause much damage.
But the "poke stick" is different. As long as you stab an enemy in the chest, few people will be able to resist the blow unless they are professionally trained or have protective gear.
Wang Tao never fights with people, and his acting actions are specially designed, so there is no chance of actual combat. Now that he tried it so little, he could only say that the master is the master, and this light poke really makes people unbearable.
"I'll ask you again, why did you attack me?"
Wang Tao parked his car outside the square, and his car should not be visible at this location in the mall. When he came to kill the zombies, he didn't carry any other supplies with him. So in the eyes of the survivors in the mall, he should be an ordinary person with little supplies. There is no need for the other party to sneak up on him...... Wang Tao was puzzled, so he wanted to know the answer.
"I—I really didn't ...... Didn't want to sneak up on ......"
The man still didn't admit it.
Is the mouth so hard?
Wang Tao originally thought that he had a hard mouth and was ready to poke it again. But after seeing that there seemed to be a hint of grievance in his frightened expression, Wang Tao temporarily stopped and let go of him.
"What's your name?"
"I, ahem—my name is Yang Laoqi...... I'm not really sneaking up......"
Yang Laoqi knelt on the ground again, clutching his chest and coughing. He was wronged!
He had clearly seen Wang Tao headshot zombies with an axe upstairs before, and Wang Tao was like whack-a-mole when dealing with zombies in the square!
Only those who have really fought with zombies can understand how strong Wang Tao is! Wang Tao alone is estimated to be able to easily single out a group of them!
In the face of such a strong man, he would not dare to do anything with others if he was given ten dares!
The reason why he sneaked down was because he saw Wang Tao enter the mall upstairs, but he never went up.
Their boss didn't know what Wang Tao was doing down there, and he didn't even know if Wang Tao had left from somewhere else, so he sent him down to see the situation.
As a result, he was put down before he could see anyone, and he was not even given a chance to defend himself.
In just one minute, Yang Laoqi felt that he had died several times.
Devil, this man is simply the devil!
"Didn't you really sneak up on me?" Wang Tao was a little speechless, but he didn't apologize at all. Because it is a fact that this person lied, even if it was not a sneak attack, he definitely didn't have any good intentions.
"I'll give you a chance to explain. I'm sorry if the reason doesn't satisfy me......"
Wang Tao waved the steel-spiked baseball bat in his hand, and his tone was indifferent.
"Ahem—"
Yang Laoqi was a little anxious in his heart, although Wang Tao didn't say anything "embarrassed", but he didn't dare to bet. And after this short minute of contact, he knew that this person was definitely not a good stubble! But the reason is not so easy to find, he can't say that his boss is deliberately guarding against the other party!
Top dog...... That's right!
Yang Laoqi suddenly had an idea.
"Ahem, that's right. Our boss saw you coming and wanted me to invite you up! Yes, it's an invitation, I'm here to invite you up! ”
Yang Laoqi was very satisfied with his excuse. He's not here to sneak attack, he's here to invite people up! This big guy is misunderstood!
In this case, he didn't expect any apologies from the other party, he just hoped that the other party wouldn't torture him.
"Oh? Top dog? Invite? How many of you are there? ”
Wang Tao asked directly.
"Our boss's name is Cao Xin, it turned out that he was in the clothing business here, I am his employee, and we are now a total of four people, just on the top floor! Our boss would like to invite you upstairs to have a chat......"
Yang Laoqi didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told the news. However, the invitation was fake, and he felt that Wang Tao should not dare to go......
Wang Tao knew that this person was not telling the truth.
But he now has more than a thousand drops of blood, has special abilities, has a steel plate on his body, a charging right arm, and a pistol full of bullets in his waist...... With his strength, even if he can't beat some zombie monsters, how many people can't he win? And Wang Tao wanted to know what was going on on this first floor, and if there were any special zombies coming......
Of course, if he really misunderstands and the character of these survivors is really good, then he can also recruit people to the base. Getting a Survivor will increase your contribution a lot.
"Lead the way!"
Wang Tao said directly.
"Huh? Oh oh, what ......."
Yang Laoqi was a little distressed, he didn't expect this big guy to really go up! He was afraid that he would be picked up by the boss when he went back, but let him resist Wang Tao, he didn't have the guts. So he could only take Wang Tao upstairs in front of him aggrievedly.
Wang Tao followed behind Yang Laoqi unhurriedly, his spirit highly tense. Although he felt that he could deal with the survivors, he was not careless.
The stairs of this old shopping mall are very large, the view is very good, and after a few steps, Wang Tao saw the people upstairs.
There are three people in total, which matches the number of people Yang Laoqi said. These people are armed with sticks, steel pipes and other weapons.
Seeing Wang Tao coming up, these people were obviously a little surprised, and they all looked at the bald head in the middle, who was more than 1.7 meters tall.
The bald head glared at Yang Laoqi fiercely, and then his face full of horizontal flesh showed a very polite smile.
"Hello! My name is Cao Xin, and I used to do some clothes business here......"
After getting closer, Wang Tao found that some of the skin exposed by Cao Xin was tattooed.
Wang Tao does not discriminate against tattoos, but you are a businessman, and you have such flowers on your body, is this a serious business?
"Hello, I'm Chen Zhuang."
Wang Tao said nonsense.
"Welcome, welcome!"
The bald man stretched out his hands far away, but Wang Tao gave the other party a face and reached out to shake him.
After the bald man got close to Wang Tao, he suddenly felt a pressure rushing to his face. Especially the blood-stained axe on his waist, he felt that he might not be able to carry the other party's axe......
The other people's feelings are even more obvious, in their eyes, their boss is already a burly muscular man, and he usually looks very stressed. But when he compares with Wang Tao, it is simply a small thing. The boss's figure is at least two laps younger than Wang Tao. Especially Wang Tao still has a skull mask on his face and a few blood-stained axes pinned to his waist...... It's exactly like the villain on TV!
"Come, please!"
The bald man very enthusiastically led Wang Tao to a room hall with an open door.
Wang Tao carefully observed the situation around him, especially these people. There is no Adept, and there are no hidden attributes. But more or less I have killed zombies, and the blood bar is basically a little more than a hundred.
The one with the most health bar is their boss, who has [205/205] blood. That's estimated to have killed about twenty zombies.
The layout of the third floor of the mall is similar to that of the first floor, which is also divided into one area after another. But the rest of the area is blocked by things. Only one left and one right area is passable.
On the right is the hall where the bald men are located.
On the left is a small iron gate locked with rusty iron chains, which looks like a warehouse. Wang Tao glanced at the iron gate, and then followed the bald man to the hall.
