Chapter 137: Second-Order Copper Skin and Iron Bone
Rumble!
An abandoned car fell from the sky and smashed in front of the first car in the convoy.
Squeak –
The screeching of brakes sounded, and it almost crashed into the scrap car.
Inside the car, Xiang Hongbin quickly reversed, and then slammed the steering wheel to bypass this obstacle.
But then there were more abandoned cars, concrete blocks, and even zombies flying towards the convoy!
"Grass!"
Seeing from the rearview mirror that the orangutan zombies hammered a group of crazy zombies away, causing the zombies to fall near the convoy, Wang Tao scolded secretly.
Was this orangutan zombie intentional or accidental?
Seeing that there were more and more obstacles around him, and the car couldn't move at all, Wang Tao said loudly:
"You drive, Lao Wei and Han Rui come down with me to clear the obstacles!"
Wang Tao injected himself with a defensive potion first—he didn't use a defensive potion when dealing with hooded zombies before, so he didn't enter the cooldown period now.
Then he immediately opened the car door and jumped down, and Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui also jumped down in turn.
Wang Tao took the axe, slashed the void, and sent out a shock wave in front of him.
【-1543】
【-1304】
【-1467】
【……】
This group of remnant blood mad demon zombies that were smashed by the orangutan zombies all exploded, and the stumps and broken arms fell to the ground, emptying the area in an instant.
Wei Zhenguo also used the shock wave to kill some zombies. Han Rui moved the rubble and cleared the route.
Soon, the obstacle was partially cleared.
"The car goes first, we break off!"
The four cars had just slipped out of the cleared gap. Another abandoned vehicle fell from the sky, blocking the road again.
Orangutan zombies and a large number of mad zombies are also chasing after you!
"Roar!"
The orangutan zombie roared, and the huge fist punched Wang Tao, who was closest to it!
The orangutan zombie looks bulky, but the speed is not slow at all, and the rotting fist instantly arrived in front of Wang Tao!
In this case, Wang Tao can dodge with the charge ability, but there are obstacles behind him, and he can't use the charge. Wang Tao could only cross his arms and take the punch hard.
Bang –
【-2156】
【2402/4999】
Wang Tao felt like he had been hit by a mud truck! It hurts as if it's falling apart!
Bang –
He slammed on the abandoned car behind him, the car was displaced, and Wang Tao was directly embedded in the car!
【-325】
【2077/4999】
Wang Tao no longer felt the pain in his body, but only felt a little dizzy.
He struggled to get out of the car, only to realize that the car he had hit had moved and cleared the road.
Seeing that the orangutan zombies set their eyes on Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui, Wang Tao roared.
"Reverse charge!"
Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui immediately turned around, and after seeing that the obstacles behind them had been cleared, they started to charge.
Suddenly, three faint white rays of light instantly moved away from the orangutan zombie for more than thirty meters, temporarily out of its attack range.
The four cars that had just left were waiting for them here with their doors open.
"Get in the car!"
Three people get into the car.
Boom –
The engine roared, and the car accelerated instantly.
Four off-road vehicles gallop ahead, and a giant two-story zombie chases after them. Behind the huge zombies, there are also crazy zombies that are pressed by black...... The entire county seemed to be shaking.
"Wang Tao, are you okay?"
In the first off-road vehicle, Xiang Hongbin and Han Rui both looked at Wang Tao with concern, but they saw that Wang Tao had just received a punch from the orangutan zombie!
"I'm fine......"
Wang Tao used a medical kit for himself, and the pain in his body was painful, but it was not life-threatening.
Seeing that Wang Tao didn't seem to be a big deal, both of them were relieved.
Xiang Hongbin hurriedly glanced at the rearview mirror, and then scolded.
"Special mother, I can't get rid of it!"
According to the original plan, they should have gotten rid of the pursuit by this time. After all, this retreat route was carefully selected by everyone, and the road was specially cleaned, and the road was smooth, so that the speed of the vehicle could be lifted. No matter how fast the mad zombie runs, it can't outrun a car running at full speed.
But who knew that the orangutan zombies were still attracted.
It's big, but it's not slow! In particular, it will move some abandoned cars, roadside stones and zombies under its feet from time to time to smash Wang Tao and his party.
This greatly affected the speed of the convoy, resulting in the inability to get rid of them all the time, and there were more and more zombies chasing after them!
Even Wang Tao wondered if the crazy demon zombies in the entire county had caught up!
"What to do, the zombies are getting closer and closer to us!"
Han Rui said with some concern.
Wang Tao looked at the zombies behind him, and then looked at the map in his hand, he was ruthless.
"Go to the Outer Ring!"
There was a monster outside the city of Shuize County, Wang Tao had already told Wei Zhenguo and them, and when they went out to search for supplies, they were all determined not to go outside. After all, Wang Tao said that thing might be more terrifying than an orangutan zombie!
But now there is really no way, as long as they are caught up by zombies, there is a high probability that everyone will be wiped out - even if there are no orangutan zombies, so many crazy zombies can't be dealt with.
So I have to gamble!
"Everybody go to the Outer Ring Road!"
Xiang Hongbin immediately hit the steering wheel and drove towards the outer ring road. The three cars behind also followed.
Seeing the zombies behind him getting closer and closer, and when they were about to catch up with the last car, the convoy finally walked on the outer ring road.
There were basically no cars on the outer ring road, and the road was unimpeded, and the four cars began to pick up speed.
Buzz –
Soon, the convoy distanced itself from the zombies behind them.
Not only because the speed of the car has increased, but also because the zombies are no longer chasing!
After seeing that the orangutan zombie stopped and the mad demon zombie also stopped one after another, Wang Tao not only did not relax, but became more vigilant.
"Hurry, hurry! Hasten! Quickly cross the Outer Ring Road and turn back to the county seat from the junction in front! ”
THE SPEED OF THE FOUR CARS SOON EXCEEDED 120KM.
Wang Tao was highly nervous in his heart, he was afraid that the black shadow with 10,000 blood was still there.
Luckily, luck wasn't always bad, and the team didn't run into any problems on the Outer Ring Road.
Seeing the intersection in front of them, the four cars slowed down and drifted one after another, and smoothly entered the road back to the city.
The orangutan zombies and most of the mad zombies are estimated to be still at the previous intersection, and the roar of the car's engine only attracts more than a dozen mad zombies.
After making sure that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Wang Tao immediately got out of the car and dealt with the more than ten crazy demon zombies.
"Let's go! Back to base! ”
……
When the four cars finally arrived at the gate of the base, it was already evening.
The group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is Lu Gang okay?"
Wang Tao picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.
"It's okay, it's just asleep."
Wei Zhenguo's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and they were in another car.
"That's good."
When the convoy entered the base, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the base. These survivors were all a little anxiously outside, and Ding Yuqin and Li Qiuyu were also there.
Wang Tao got out of the car and nodded at the two, indicating that there was nothing wrong. Then the soldier on duty came over and whispered:
"Commissioner Wang, we shouldn't have anything to do, right? There was too much movement outside before, and everyone was worried......"
"It's okay, let everyone rest assured."
Hearing Wang Tao's words, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Then he immediately said to the other survivors:
"It's okay, everyone is safe, let's all go back."
Whew-
Hearing that it was okay and seeing that these committee members had also returned safely, the survivors were relieved.
Xiang Hongbin and the soldiers learned about the situation, saying that the movement of their battle outside before was too loud, and those explosions could be heard clearly inside the base. Especially after seeing that the zombies outside began to riot, the survivors couldn't sit still......
Wei Zhenguo and Wang Tao carried the stretcher together and lifted Lu Gang in front of Chen Zhuang.
"He's badly wounded!"
Chen Zhuang and the other two doctors, who didn't do any work today, were waiting for Wang Tao and the others, although they didn't want anything to happen to the team, they definitely had to prepare in advance.
"I'll take a look...... Fortunately, it was just a broken rib and it was not life-threatening! ”
Hearing the doctor's confirmation, everyone was completely relieved, after all, they couldn't see the blood bar, and they didn't know what Lu Gang's current state was.
After handing over Lu Gang to Chen Zhuang and them, the wounded in Wang Tao's group also briefly treated their wounds, and then came to the conference room on the upper floor of the complex.
"Everyone's fine, right?"
Wang Tao looked at everyone.
He's actually the second most injured person himself, but he has a self-healing ability and a medical kit, and he's recovered a little along the way, and his injuries are somewhat stopped.
But it's still impossible to recover full blood, which requires Ding Yuqin's help.
Everyone else was also injured to a greater or lesser extent.
"We're all fine, little injury!"
Xiang Hongbin shook his head. As long as there is no missing arm or leg and infection, it is a minor injury.
And the person who was most seriously injured was naturally Lu Gang.
Everyone didn't expect that Lu Gang, who was supposed to be the safest, was the most seriously injured.
That hooded zombie's perception is too acute!
After it was hit by Lu Gang's arrow, it instantly discovered Lu Gang's location. Then he flew directly towards Lu Gang from the top of the building. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Gang was wearing a steel plate, Wang Tao gave them defensive potions in advance...... And I saved him a little, then Lu Gang may be finished!
"This second-order zombie is really amazing!"
Xiang Hongbin sighed.
He felt that he had overestimated this second-order zombie as much as possible, but after the battle, he found that he was still underestimating.
Thanks to Wang Tao's full preparation, he blew up the bomb in advance, otherwise everyone would definitely have to reduce their personnel!
As for some slime and the like, it didn't work at all, the hooded zombies were too fast!
"This is a second-order zombie in its heyday! And there's that orangutan zombie, it's terrifying! ”
Wei Zhenguo also sighed.
This hooded zombie is strong, but the orangutan zombie is even stronger! It is also Wang Tao who can block the blow of the orangutan zombies, if they face the orangutan zombies instead, I am afraid that they will not be killed directly in seconds!
"Don't be discouraged, everyone! After all, this is the first time we've dealt with second-order zombies head-on, and it's already very good to be able to do this! Sum up the combat experience, and next time it won't be so embarrassing! ”
Wang Tao smiled and encouraged.
Although everyone was injured to varying degrees, it was a great victory if no one died.
The crowd began to sum up the battle. Analyze your own shortcomings and where you can do better.
Wang Tao felt that if there was a next time, he would either use more self-detonating bombs, and it would be best to blow up the second-order zombies at once. Either use a little less self-detonating bombs, and don't attract orangutan zombies and a lot of mad zombies.
His bomb didn't work well this time, not only did not kill the hooded zombies, but also attracted a large number of mad demon zombies and orangutan zombies.
If I had known that this would happen, it would have been better to use a hot weapon directly, which would have attracted so many zombies anyway...... Wang Tao felt that the second-order zombie should not be able to carry too many bullets.
After everyone summed up the lessons learned, Wei Zhenguo took out the crystal nucleus of the hooded zombie from his body.
"This is the crystal nucleus of that zombie, see if you can use it!"
Wang Tao hadn't had time to look at the crystal nucleus in the hooded zombie's brain before, but now after seeing the crystal nucleus that Wei Zhenguo took out, he was suddenly a little surprised. It turned out to be an epic crystal nucleus, this luck can be!
【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Promotion】
[Quality: Epic (100%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effects: none)]
This is a promotion crystal nucleus!
Wang Tao was overjoyed.
"This works for me!"
Everyone's faces also showed joy.
"It's good to be useful! Otherwise, it will be in vain! ”
Wang Tao thought before, his luck would not be so bad today, and he didn't burst out to promote the crystal nucleus - Wang Tao looked at the package he burst out, and there was no promotion crystal nucleus in it.
But I didn't expect the promotion crystal nucleus to be in the zombie's mind!
"I'll take the crystal nucleus, after today, my strength should be able to improve a lot!"
Wang Tao got up with a smile.
"We're looking forward to it!"
Everyone sincerely wished them, after all, Wang Tao's strength increased, and the security of their base would be greater.
Wang Tao and Han Rui returned home together.
Ding Yuqin asked if the two were injured, Wang Tao was a little tired, and he went to take a bath.
Lying comfortably in the bathtub, the fatigue disappeared a lot in an instant, and after a long sigh of relief, Wang Tao looked at the package that he had slashed the second-order hooded zombie.
The zombie burst out of two packages.
Inside the first package are three crystal nuclei.
【First Order Crystal Nucleus: Omnipotence】
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 50% (no side effects)]
[Almighty: After fusion, you can randomly give +1 to a fused ability, and the maximum is +10]
The first one is an all-round crystal nucleus, but unfortunately it is a first-order one.
"Could it be that the first-order all-powerful crystal nucleus can only explode with second-order zombies?"
If that's the case, then the condition is too harsh...... However, this is an all-powerful crystal nucleus, and if someone fuses some particularly rare abilities, then this all-powerful crystal nucleus is still very useful.
The second one is the second-order crystal nucleus.
【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Athlete】
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Actions consume double stamina)]
[Athlete: Passive ability, athletic ability improvement]
This nucleus is a passive ability, and it's easy to introduce. But through the performance of the hooded zombie, Wang Tao felt that this ability was very strong!
Hooded zombies are not only faster than humans, but they are also more agile than humans. All kinds of acrobatic movements are at your fingertips...... Especially when it's running on the roof, those obstacles can't stop it!
If humans fuse this ability, if nothing else, at least the ability to escape is directly full.
Wang Tao was a little moved, but unfortunately, he couldn't fuse other crystal nuclei anymore.
The side effect of this crystal nucleus is that it consumes double the physical strength of the action, which is the same as the side effect of the hidden crystal nucleus. It seems that the side effects of crystal nuclei are not the only ones......
The last crystal nucleus is also second-order.
【2nd Order Crystal Nucleus: Jump】
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 45% (side effect: fear of noise)]
[Jump: Consumes energy, which can increase the jump height and distance]
This ability is also good, if you can jump a distance of ten meters like a hooded zombie, then whether it is offensive or defensive, it is a strong ability. And if it is combined with the ability of athletes, it will be a copy of the hooded zombie!
As for this side effect...... No wonder that zombie is so sensitive to sound, it turns out that it is afraid of noise!
Wang Tao suddenly thought that he used five self-explosive bombs to blow up nearly 5,000 blood of the hooded zombie, so was this 5,000 blood blown up by the power of the bomb itself, or was it noisy by this huge noise? It's really hard to say......
The three crystal nuclei in this package, Wang Tao, are currently useless, and he thought of a question-
For example, the crystal nuclei of athletes and jumpers are all second-order when they come up, and they do not see first-order crystal nuclei.
Can a second-order person directly fuse this crystal nucleus? Or do second-order people also need to find first-order crystal nuclei first?
Wang Tao was a little confused, and he could only wait until he was promoted to the second order, after all, he was now conjecturing about the situation of the second order......
Inside the second package is a set of clothes.
[Black Sweatshirt: Durability +5, Tear Resistance +5]
[Black Sweatpants: Durability +5, Tear Resistance +5]
Is this the outfit of the hooded zombie outfit?
He also broke out two pieces of clothing from the zombie, including the security uniform he was wearing, the nurse's uniform in the space backpack, and this set of sweatshirt and trousers.
These outfits all have durability and tear resistance, but the security suit and nurse uniform both have +1 stats, and this outfit has +5.
Wang Tao feels that these two attributes are still quite practical, such as her security uniform, even if the attributes are +1, he has never broken it until now. And this outfit is +5 and will definitely be more durable.
It's a pity that this zombie didn't burst out of any potions, equipment drawings and anything like that, which is a little regrettable.
However, Wang Tao was also content, after all, he had a promotion crystal nucleus.
This promotion crystal nucleus is orange quality, and Wang Tao put it directly into his mouth.
After a while, Wang Tao felt warm on his body, and his limbs were full of strength.
He looked at his attributes.
The amount of HP has not changed, it is still 4999. The amount of blue has increased by 200 again, and it is now 4400.
The impurities in the body have also risen, before it showed 0%, now it shows 1%, according to Wang Tao's calculation, it should be 1.1% to be precise......
And then there's the ability, and his copper and iron bones become a second-order ability!
This made Wang Tao a little surprised, after seeing the attack power of this full-blooded second-order zombie today, he hoped that the copper skin and iron bone could be promoted to the second order.
Now, one attack ability blaster is second-order, and one defense ability, Copper Skin and Iron Bone, is also second-order, one attack and one defense! If you deal with this hooded zombie again, you should be able to resist its frontal attack, right?
Wang Tao tried the second-order copper skin and iron bones, and the feeling of use was no different from that of the first-order, but the blue consumption was improved.
When the first-order Copper Skin Iron Bone is turned on, it consumes 1 blue per second, and now it consumes 5 blue per second. The consumption of blue has directly increased fivefold.
I just don't know how much the defense has improved...... Go back and give it a try!
In the evening, Wang Tao replenished Ding Yuqin's blood.
After his unremitting efforts, he finally filled up the blood!
It's convenient to have a blood tonic pack! Lu Gang, who was also seriously injured, is still lying on the hospital bed, and Wang Tao can go out to hunt zombies!
