"At what cost?"

Wang Tao asked with some curiosity.

He can get crystal nuclei with no side effects, but there is a price to pay. The price he paid was that it would take one crystal nucleus to synthesize the first-order crystal nucleus, and two might be wasted to synthesize the second-order crystal nucleus......

I don't know what the price of this instrument is, but if the cost is small, he may be able to use it.

"The price is - if you want to get a crystal nucleus with no side effects, you have to waste more crystal nuclei!"

"According to the manual, this machine can only synthesize first-order crystal nuclei at present. If you want to get 1 first-order crystal nucleus with no side effects, you need to consume 3 first-order crystal nuclei, and the crystal nuclei can be different, but they must be the same color crystal nuclei. But that's not the point, the point is that there is a chance that the synthesis will fail! After failure, all crystal nuclei disappear! As for this probability, it's hard to say, it all depends on luck......"

After listening to Xiang Hongbin's explanation, everyone frowned and pondered.

Even if you need to spend 3 crystal nuclei of the same quality, there is a special probability of failure......

Crystal nuclei without side effects, everyone naturally wants. But the price is a bit too much.

It's fine to say if you only need three, but if it fails...... Probability, just like gambling, is not credible!

Then it's a question of whether it's worth it. Now that I think about it, some side effects are not unacceptable......

Wang Tao pondered silently.

His crystal nucleus synthesis ability only needs two crystal nuclei. But he can only use the same type of crystal nucleus, and cannot be used across types.

And this machine, although it needs 3 crystal nuclei, there is a certain probability of failure. However, different types of nuclei can be used, but the quality is the same......

Of course, there is another biggest difference between what Wang Tao synthesized and what this machine synthesized -

The crystal nucleus synthesized by Wang Tao not only has no side effects, it has no impurities, and even the quality will be added.

And the crystal nucleus extracted by this machine will not add quality, and impurities cannot be peeled off, that is, there are simply no side effects......

It can only be said that Wang Tao's ability is more powerful, but this machine is also very powerful, and it can strip away all the side effects. It would be better if the properties that could strip off impurities could be studied in the future......

"The functionality of this machine feels okay...... Although some crystal nuclei will be wasted, they can be replaced with other crystal nuclei, such as those useless big stomachs, self-explosions, etc., which can come in handy! Of course, if you are lucky...... In the future, whoever is lucky will come, anyway, I don't need this synthesis. ”

Feng Ming'an touched his chin and said.

He didn't have much hope for his luck......

"In addition to these two instruments, there are a lot of inhibitors, and there is a letter."

Xiang Hongbin opened the other boxes, which were full of inhibitors.

"Look at this letter, it mentions abilities and inhibitors......"

Wang Tao took the letter and looked at it carefully.

"We found ......"

According to their current research, a person can fuse at least one crystal nucleus and a maximum of four different types of crystal nuclei.

In other words, a person can only learn a maximum of four abilities, and they don't know if there will be a chance to fuse more crystal nuclei in the future. Anyway, the current first-order crystal nuclei can only fuse up to four types.

Those who can fuse the four types are all the ones with the greatest potential. Only one can be fused, and naturally the one with the least potential.

But potential belongs to potential, and what the final combat effectiveness is, it still depends on the person.

They have an example of someone who only fused one crystal nucleus, but he used this ability to perfection, and his combat power was very strong! Many of the abilities that fused the four crystal nuclei could not be defeated.

Of course, this is an example, and normally the more melded abilities you have, the greater the advantage.

However, there are many fusions and many difficulties, and that is that more nuclei are needed to increase the ability level.

Especially if you want crystal nuclei without side effects, you need a large number of crystal nuclei.

Then they also had a guess, that is, the promotion of the Ability from the first order to the second order may require some conditions. It is impossible to promote unconditionally.

But they didn't know exactly what it was, after all, they didn't have a second-order ability here.

Then there are inhibitors, they haven't figured out how to solve the problem of impurities in the body for the time being, but inhibitors can play a certain role in alleviating - when fusing crystal nuclei, taking inhibitors by the way will make there less impurities in the body.

It's hard to say how much less, anyway, after their experiments, it is indeed a little less.

However, there is also a problem, that is, the process of using inhibitors is too painful, and although most of the paranormal people should be able to carry it, no one wants to experience this kind of taste......

As for whether to use it or not, it depends on the individual.

If you are afraid of impurities in your body, or if you want to fuse more crystal nuclei, then it is best to use inhibitors.

If you feel that the impurities in your body don't matter, or your self-control is strong enough to hold on to not fusing so many crystal nuclei, then it doesn't matter if you use inhibitors or not.

Anyway, as long as the impurities in the body are controlled below 50%, there is no problem with safety.

The letter also mentions another use of inhibitors, which is to use them when there are too many impurities in the body.

When they first started working on this inhibitor, they actually wanted a zombie antidote. However, the antidote has not been studied, and the inhibitor is a by-product of the antidote.

And at that time, they did not find impurities in the body. What they think is that they can use inhibitors to slow down the activity of the zombie virus, although there is no way to get rid of the zombie virus, but as long as the zombie virus never attacks, it can avoid the danger of becoming a zombie.

And now they've tested and found that the inhibitor can be used not only on infected people, but also on paranormal people.

When the supernatural person fuses too many crystal nuclei and accumulates too many impurities in the body, there is also a danger of turning into a zombie. Inhibitors can also suppress this danger.

Theoretically, even if a person has 90% impurities in his body, as long as he keeps using inhibitors, then he will never become a zombie!

Of course, this is only theoretical. In fact, there are too many factors that cannot be controlled, and it is still very dangerous to have such a person.

So they still recommend that the survivor base is better off not receiving people who receive level 5 impurities.

In fact, Wang Tao thought of the idea of this inhibitor for the supernatural when he first saw the inhibitor. However, he came up with it because he knew that there were impurities in the crystal nucleus, and then combined with the properties of the inhibitor.

They also discovered impurities in the body recently, and then accidentally discovered that the inhibitor and the impurities in the body are very compatible......

But in any case, the effect of this inhibitor has been officially qualified, and it will be an indispensable thing for survivors in the future.

As for who this "they" are, there is also an introduction at the end of the letter -

Wang Tao thought that this was something researched by a military base, and those scientists might have been protected by the military base, but in fact it was not.

This "they" refers to a force called the "Institute of Hope".

This is an officially established force, and the core talents in it are technicians and scientists who survived the end times.

Things like inhibitors, detectors, synthesizers, etc., are all researched by them.

The headquarters of the institute is in the capital, and it also said that those who are able to go to the capital to meet with them are welcome. The ultimate goal of their research institute is to develop a drug that can remove the zombie virus, so that there are no zombies in the world.

Although Wang Tao thinks this possibility is very small, Wang Tao will not laugh at them, after all, they are to some extent the hope of mankind - at least the hope of Qianguo.

Wang Tao is still very curious about this institute, but this is too far away from him. If I remember correctly, it must be 1,500 kilometers from Huangfeng City to the capital! Such a long distance is simply looking for death......

However, Wang Tao is still very curious about the means by which they can transmit the news, is it a super-powerful radio? Or is it some other black technology?

If Wang Tao had this means, he would definitely want to know what the situation of the military base was.

"Aside from these, does the airdrop say anything about the situation at the military base?"

Wang Tao asked.

"Nope."

Xiang Hongbin and Wei Zhenguo both shook their heads.

They also wanted to know what was going on at the military base, but unfortunately, there was no news in the airdrops.

Wang Tao was a little puzzled.

At the time of the first airdrop, the people at the military base still left a letter to the survivors. But the second airdrop and the third airdrop, there are no letters, all of them are business-like......

He wanted to inquire about what the situation was at the military base, but he couldn't help it.

Could it be that the military base does not want survivors to pass?

Probably not, right?

After all, there are many people and there is a lot of power, how can there be a base that dislikes the many survivors......

Wang Tao was puzzled, but they were far away from the military base, and there was no way to check it. Although there was a radio frequency contact information left in the previous airdrop, the radio in their hands must not be able to contact at such a distance......

Wei Zhenguo gave the inhibitors to everyone.

Now that they know that the inhibitor is also useful to their abilities, they will save a little more, and maybe they will have to use it all the time......

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Tao met Han Rui outside the gate of the complex.

Yesterday, after a day of weakness, Wang Tao never went out. Today's weakness is over, and he plans to go out today and increase his HP.

He has 4,900 blood now, and he is 5,000 short of 100 blood, and if he doesn't get this 100 blood today, it is estimated that he won't be able to sleep well tonight.

Han Rui also had a day off yesterday, she is now Wang Tao's special teammate, she will go out when Wang Tao goes out, and she will rest at home if Wang Tao does not go out.

Of course, this was his choice, after all, it was safe with Wang Tao.

"Are you weak?"

Han Rui asked with concern.

"Alright, let's go."

"Hmm."

Wang Tao drove an off-road vehicle and walked towards the hospital with Han Rui.

There are many zombies in the hospital, so don't worry about not finding elite zombies. If you wander around in other places, it will be uncomfortable if you waste a day and you can't even find three elite zombies.

At noon, the two came to the vicinity of the hospital.

"Good guy, it's really an elite zombie that can't be touched!"

The two didn't even encounter an elite zombie along the way. This is really like what Wang Tao thought, the more you lack something, the more difficult it is to get.

However, seeing the hospital full of zombies, Wang Tao knew that it was no problem to make up enough 100 blood today.

But these elite zombies are all wandering around the hospital and do not walk through the gate. This made Han Rui a little helpless, which made it impossible to attract zombies over.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared."

Wang Tao took out a big speaker.

He and Han Rui went to the roof of a six-story building, and then put the horn on.

This is a remote-controlled horn that Wang Tao asked Liu He to help make.

He was able to control the sound of the horn from a distance, and a DJ dance song was stored in advance.

This thing can definitely attract a lot of elite zombies in the hospital, and even Wang Tao is worried about whether it will attract some zombies that he can't parry, such as the orangutan zombie.

But if you want to make a profit, you have to take risks.

And Wang Tao deliberately placed the horn far away from him, even if he really attracted invincible zombies, he would not be besieged.

Soon, Wang Tao and Han Rui arrived at the apartment where they had rested before.

"Hopefully, don't let me down!"

Wang Tao took out the remote control and pressed it gently.

After a delay of about two or three seconds, there was a sound of "moving and beating" from the roof of the opposite building.

"Roar—"

At this moment, the quiet world seemed to come alive, and a terrible roar sounded everywhere.

There was some stampede from inside the hospital, and then a large group of mad zombies rushed towards the building like a tide.

"A ...... of horror"

Looking at these hundreds of zombies, Han Rui's scalp was numb.

Wang Tao carefully looked at the situation downstairs, while these mad demon zombies were sprinting towards the building, they were also followed by some elite zombies, and there were quite a few of them!

"It's out!"

Wang Tao had a smile on his face.

As long as these elite zombies come out, it's easy to say.

"Huh? Wang Tao: What do you think it is? Zombie or Adept? ”

Suddenly, Han Rui pointed to an opening.

Wang Tao followed the gaze of her fingers, and suddenly stared.

He saw a black figure in a sweatshirt and hood running on the roof of the building!

This figure is agile and nimble, like a parkour athlete, tossing and turning on the roof of the building, which is somewhat pleasing to the eye.

But Wang Tao frowned. Because this figure's health bar is red!

【6000/6000】

It's a zombie, it looks like it's still a second-order zombie!

Wang Tao secretly said that he was unlucky, just now he was still thinking, don't attract second-order zombies, but he didn't expect to really run into it.

Although Wang Tao had already killed a second-order zombie Shao Yong, it was bloody. This second-order zombie has 6,000 blood, and its strength may be stronger than that of the zombie Shao Yong. Wang Tao didn't want to fight it at this time, at least he had to wait until he became a second-order ability, right?

"It's a second-order zombie!"

Wang Tao whispered.

"Huh? Second-Order Zombies! ”

Han Rui was taken aback.

Now that the two of them have encountered second-order zombies, it is a question whether they can beat them.

Fortunately, this second-order zombie didn't come for them, but ...... The zombie seems to be heading for the horn!

Whoosh –

The zombie jumped up to the top of the building with the horn on it, and then saw it stomp its feet.

Smack-

The sound of the horn disappeared in an instant.

“……”

No, this zombie is there to kill noise?

Wang Tao was a little confused.

After the zombie smashed the horn, a few jumps disappeared from Wang Tao's sight.

There was no loudspeaker music, and the manic zombies outside quickly quieted down.

However, the mad zombies did not leave, but continued to search for something around.

Looking at this scene, Wang Tao couldn't care less about the second-order zombie. He stared at these mad demon zombies tightly, and when he saw that a considerable number of mad demon zombies had come to the downstairs of the apartment, Wang Tao really took out two concealment elixirs, and then picked up his and Han Rui's arms and stabbed them directly.

Han Rui didn't resist, but asked with some curiosity:

"What is this?"

"Concealment potion, those mad zombies have been found, let's try not to fight them."

Wang Tao explained briefly.

"Oh!"

Soon, Han Rui felt that her body temperature was dropping, her body was a little stiff, her breathing and heartbeat were getting slower and slower, her hands and feet were slowly becoming heavy, and even a smell came from her body that made her very disgusted...... Just like zombies!

This feeling made Han Rui a little panicked, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Wang Tao's clothes.

"It's okay, it's the effect of the concealment potion. With this potion, it is not easy to be detected by zombies within an hour. ”

Wang Tao hadn't used the concealment potion for a long time, after all, he could quickly deal with zombies before, so there was no need to waste it. But now it's different, there are a lot of mad demon zombies outside, and there is also a second-order zombie appearing, for the sake of safety, it's better to use a concealment potion.

"Huh? And this miraculous potion?! ”

Han Rui was a little shocked, but she didn't doubt Wang Tao's words, and she didn't ask where this thing came from.

After the two of them had used up the concealment potion, the madmen ran upstairs, spun around, and left.

Seeing that this concealment elixir was also useful for the mad demon, Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

After about ten minutes, all the mad zombies downstairs disappeared, leaving only some ordinary zombies and elite zombies in the hospital hanging out.

"Let's go!"

Wang Tao and Han Rui went downstairs together.

Although the concealment elixir will also make their own strength drop slightly, it will not decline much, plus Wang Tao and Han Rui are mainly crossbows, so it does not affect the performance of the two.

And it's really good to hunt elite zombies after injecting concealment potions, elite zombies will only find two people when they are close, and the first elite zombie killed by the two didn't find out who was attacking it until they died.

After the first zombie was solved, Wang Tao's HP came to 4940, and after the second zombie was solved, Wang Tao's HP came to 4990.

Wang Tao thought that after killing the third zombie, his HP would come to 5,000.

As a result, after killing the third zombie, his HP was [4999/4999]!

Only 9 drops of blood were added.

"Grass! I especially know that the second order is not so easy! ”
