"You've been abandoned by them."

Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke a little heartily.

"Yes......"

Xu Xiaojun nodded with a vacant look in his eyes.

Jiang Shixue looked up at Wang Tao, she had some vague memories about Wang Tao in her head, and she couldn't remember the specific details, but she knew that it was Wang Tao who rescued her.

If it weren't for Wang Tao, she would have died. She was not abandoned.

Wang Tao felt Jiang Shixue's gaze, immediately rubbed her hair, and then asked Xu Xiaojun:

"And how did you survive here?"

Xu Xiaojun closed his eyes, his face a little painful.

"At that time, a lot of people died. The three zombies seemed to be a little afraid of light, they didn't chase out, but they were eating the corpses of my companions, I took advantage of the chaos to run, I had a chance to escape...... When I saw that the gate was locked, I endured my discomfort and hid in the flesh...... I don't know if it's contaminated with the breath of flesh and blood, these zombies didn't notice me......"

"But I know it's not a way to do it, and sooner or later I'll find out. Just as I was about to do it, I noticed that the zombies seemed to be gone...... I had the audacity to go out and take a look, and I saw that there was a hole leading to the outside......"

"I thought I could escape, and I was about to crawl out of the hole. But one of the zombies was out there, and it found me! I had no choice but to use everything that could be used in this granary and plug up this hole. ”

"I don't know if the zombies on the flesh will wake up, I know I'm no match for them, so I plugged myself in here, I wanted to die with dignity...... When I woke up again, I saw Brother Wang, you ......"

After listening to Xu Xiaojun's explanation, Wang Tao understood the whole story.

To put it simply, Boss Lu and the others came to the underground warehouse and encountered those zombies covered in blood, and almost wiped out.

If it weren't for Xu Xiaojun's palace, he and these zombies would only care about eating...... I guess all of these people will have to die.

But they abandoned Xu Xiaojun, and Xu Xiaojun could only hide to save himself. When he found out that the zombies had left, he was ready to escape, but the zombies were outside the entrance of the cave, and he had no choice but to block the entrance of the cave.

Xu Xiaojun couldn't see the zombie's blood bar, and he didn't know that the unconceived zombie in the piece of flesh and blood had no ability to attack. So he was afraid that these zombies would wake up, so he didn't dare to attack. So he blocked everything around him, and was ready to die with dignity.

But at this time, Wang Tao came......

"I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!"

Wang Tao sighed with emotion.

He thinks that Boss Lu is a smart person, and he shouldn't do such a thing as abandoning his teammates - not that he is kind, but that as a boss, if he abandons his teammates in front of everyone, what does this make others think?

Even if he behaved, he had to try his best to help Xu Xiaojun.

After Xu Xiaojun heard Wang Tao's emotion, he suddenly spoke:

"Boss Lu...... Dead ......"

“……”

Well, then that would make sense...... It turned out to be dead!

Wang Tao was a little embarrassed, he was still saying before that the hidden attribute of this Boss Lu is very good, and he can warn of danger in advance. But now it seems that this ability is not omnipotent!

Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun some more details about those zombies.

"There is one more, three in all...... Fear of light...... Stay in the nest during the day and go out at night......"

Wang Tao touched his chin, he didn't expect that there would be another one, thanks to them not encountering it, otherwise it might be troublesome.

And Wang Tao didn't expect that this third-order zombie had such an obvious weakness...... It is afraid of light, and it feels worse than that of a terrorist.

The terrorist is afraid of light, but only its eyes are afraid of light, but it can move freely outside during the day.

And this blood-colored zombie will not come out directly during the day. Even when Boss Lu and the others were making a move outside before, this zombie was still staying in the lair...... Apparently they are more afraid of light than terrorists!

Can he take advantage of this weakness...... After all, this is a third-order zombie!

Wang Tao was a little greedy.

But now it's night, and he doesn't have anything else to shine except for a flashlight, so he doesn't know if the light of the flashlight will work...... It would be nice to be able to find out where they are during the day.

"Knock knock—"

Outside the entrance of this cave, there is also the sound of crashing from time to time.

Xu Xiaojun was a little nervous, but Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were relatively calm. Xu Xiaojun blocked the entrance of the cave very tightly, and it was impossible for zombies to come in.

Wang Tao took out a few bottles of nutrient solution and handed them to Xu Xiaojun:

"Eat something, and then rest and rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow during the day."

"Okay, thank you!"

Xu Xiaojun took it very gratefully.

He didn't know what it was, on the contrary, Wang Tao would definitely not harm him, and he just poured it into his mouth.

It's sweet and sour, and it's quite delicious.

After a while, Xu Xiaojun felt that his body still regained his strength, he was a little surprised, but he didn't ask much, and after confirming again that Wang Tao didn't need him to come to the night shift, he lay down directly on the ground, and after a while, a slight snoring sound came.

Wang Tao thinks this Xu Xiaojun is also quite interesting, after experiencing this incident, it seems that he doesn't stutter anymore?

Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue.

"Xiaoxue, let's rest too."

Before fighting with the blood-colored zombies, Jiang Shixue was also injured. Although Wang Tao gave her a medical kit, there are still some injuries that need to be slowly recovered.

"Good~"

Jiang Shixue leaned directly on Wang Tao's shoulder, and after a while, she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, so she raised Wang Tao's hand again, put it on her shoulder, and then closed her eyes with satisfaction.

Wang Tao smiled, he gently hugged Jiang Shixue's shoulder, but his mind was already in the space backpack.

Tonight was treacherous, but it was also very rewarding.

The first is the harvest of killing that green pustule zombie.

It was a second-order lord zombie, so for Wang Tao, it was considered a cross-level kill.

Wang Tao's upper limit of HP has directly increased by 2760! Now it has reached 9590, and it is still more than 400 to 10,000.

After being promoted to the second order, it is also when you get a thousand whole blood, and your physical fitness has a small improvement.

However, you need to sleep to improve when you are in the first order, but you don't need it after the second order, and you will increase it after a moment of gaining the amount of blood, which is much more convenient than before. I just don't know if I will be forced to sleep anymore when I have 10,000 blood......

Besides, this pus-filled zombie, since it is a skip-level kill, it naturally has special energy, and the amount of special energy increased is the same as the amount of blood, plus 2760!

Wang Tao's current special energy is 3240!

If you can kill one more pus-filled zombie, you'll have 5,000 special energy to craft another second-tier ability!

Continue to look at the rest of the loot of this pus-filled zombie -

100 parts of the zombie culture, one crystal nucleus, and three packages.

Wang Tao didn't expect that this pus-filled zombie had zombie culture liquid on it!

Then Wang Tao remembered again that when he was about to kill the pus-filled zombie, a bloody zombie suddenly came out and stopped him.

Is it suspicious that this pustule zombie is also the target of the bloody zombie? Or is it a partnership?

After all, the zombie culture liquid is to cultivate zombies, and in these blood-colored zombie nests, new zombies are being bred...... Wang Tao thinks it's very possible!

A total of 100 copies of the zombie culture liquid burst out of the pus-filled zombies, which was much less than the 1,000 copies of the green-eyed zombies encountered before.

Wang Tao naturally doesn't need these culture fluids, but Jiang Shixue can still use them now.

After rescuing Jiang Shixue last time, Wang Tao tried Jiang Shixue's attitude towards zombie cultivation again. Wang Tao felt that this zombie culture liquid smelled very bad, but Jiang Shixue felt that it smelled very good...... And she said that she felt that this thing would increase her strength!

However, she can't use it indefinitely, and after using it once, she has to rest for a while.

Now Jiang Shixue can continue to use it, but Wang Tao and she have been on the road, and they have a day of rest when they come to the Yuwan camp, and they don't have time to use it.

Wang Tao is going to go back and find a time to let Jiang Shixue cultivate. After all, the last time she used the zombie culture liquid, she directly added 1,000 blood to Jiang Shixue, and her physical fitness was also strengthened in all directions......

Wang Tao looked at the crystal nucleus burst out of the pus-filled zombie.

【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Scavenging】

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: some kind of distortion will occur in the body)]

[Scavenging: The digestive system is strengthened, saliva can digest the zombie virus with reduced activity in the carrion, the esophagus will not be infected by the zombie virus, and the stomach pouch can absorb the energy of the carrion]

Wang Tao felt that the ability to eat scavenging ...... It's a miracle!

After all, in the last days, resources are scarce, so you have to go to the city to loot or grow your own. If you have this scavenging ability, you don't have to worry about starving to death.

Because after learning this ability, you are not afraid of the zombie virus in the rotting corpse! After all, zombies are everywhere, and if you kill an ordinary zombie casually, it is estimated that you can eat it for a long time.

But the question is whether humans can accept eating carrion.

If it's an animal carrion, it's okay, disgusting is disgusting, it's really hungry, and it's not impossible to eat it if you pinch your nose.

But zombies are made from people...... This is not only an impact on the five senses, but also a psychological impact. How many people are okay with eating zombies themselves?

Wang Tao's evaluation of this crystal nucleus is: It is a magic skill, but he doesn't want it.

In the future, I will go to the large survivor base and see if I can't trade with others. Wang Tao believes that there must be people who like this ability.

Anyway, he can't accept eating zombies, even if he won't be infected with the zombie virus.

Then there were pustule zombies bursting out of three packages.

Inside the first package is the long-lost crystal nucleus gift package, a total of five crystal nuclei!

【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Omnipotence】

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: none)]

The first one is a second-order all-round crystal nucleus, and it is still of excellent quality!

Wang Tao had three second-order all-round crystal nuclei in his hand before, which were ordinary (20%), excellent (40%), and excellent (60%), if you add this, then you can synthesize two epic crystal nuclei!

Of course, since this is a second-order crystal nucleus, the purity is only 45%, and if only two crystal nuclei are used to synthesize, 10% of impurities will remain. However, Wang Tao is not afraid now, after all, he still has five bottles of removal elixirs that can reduce impurities in his body, which is useless.

【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Run】

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Consumes double stamina)]

[Run: Passive ability, running speed increase]

The second crystal nucleus is a running crystal nucleus that Wang Tao has never seen, and this crystal nucleus, like the vigorous crystal nucleus, is a passive ability.

Wang Tao felt that this crystal nucleus was not bad, and if he fused this ability, he could improve his strong life-saving ability.

【2nd Order Crystal Nucleus: Timed Defense】

[Quality: Excellent (40%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Defense is greatly reduced at night)]

[Timed Defense: Passive ability, defense increased during the day, defense unchanged at night]

The third nucleus is also a passive ability.

This timed defense ability made Wang Tao's eyes shine. After all, how strong the defense of this pus-filled zombie is, Wang Tao has seen it.

If he knows how to use this timed defense, and then he can combine it with the barrier ability, then I don't know if his defense can reach the level of pus-filled zombies.

However, the side effect of the massive reduction in defense this night is a bit big.

Timed Defense itself does not increase defense at night, and this side effect reduces defense at night, and the night becomes a weakness.

No wonder after night, when Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue attacked this pus-filled zombie, the damage increased so much.

If Wang Tao wanted to fuse this ability, he would only have to gather enough three crystal nuclei to remove the side effect.

【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Perception】

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: non-feminine fusion, 50% weakening of perception)]

[Perception: Consumes energy, perceives surrounding lifeforms]

The fourth crystal nucleus turned out to be the perception crystal nucleus!

In the past few months since the end of the world came, Wang Tao has seen Han Rui have perception ability alone, and her perception ability is only +1, and she may only be able to rely on the all-round crystal nucleus to improve her level in the future, because there are too few perceived zombies, Wang Tao has never seen it.

I didn't expect that pus-filled zombie to have the ability to perceive!

However, Wang Tao feels that the perception ability of pustule zombies does not seem to be strong? He and Jiang Shixue suddenly attacked, but it didn't react......

Wang Tao looked at this side effect again, women can only exert their full strength by fusing this crystal nucleus, and male fusion must be weakened by 50%!

So, this pus-filled zombie could be a male zombie?

Wang Tao feels that he has been discriminated against, why should he be weakened by 50% if he wants to integrate!

Wang Tao really wanted to fuse this crystal nucleus, after all, it was equivalent to installing a radar on himself.

But this side effect is so uncomfortable, it is weakened by 50%!

There was no way around this, he could only save up again in the future to see if he could make up enough three crystal nuclei to remove this side effect and then fuse.

The last one is the promotion crystal nucleus.

【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Promotion】

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Impurities: 45% (no side effects)]

Luckily, it's an excellent quality promotion crystal nucleus. Wang Tao shouldn't be able to use it, but this thing is very precious and can be exchanged with others in the future.

The crystal nuclei in the crystal nucleus gift package are all good, and it is not in vain that Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue took the risk to solve it.

Then Wang Tao looked at the other two packages.

The second package was full of potions.

【Running Flask (Small)*5】

【Defense Flask (S)*5】

"5 running potions and 5 defense potions, it's okay."

Although Wang Tao has the recipes for these potions, he lacks key materials and has no way to make them, so he can only be blasted out by zombies. These 10 potions are enough for a while.

And the contents of the last package, to Wang Tao's slight surprise, turned out to be a pair of shoes manufacturing drawings!

【Running Boots Crafting Recipe*1】

[Running Boots Crafting Blueprint: You can craft a pair of Running Boots.] Materials required: Iron*5, steel wire*5, screw*5, rope*5, nail*5, rubber*5, plastic*5, cable*5, electronic components*5, battery*5]

[Running Boots: Durability +10, Defense +10, Running Speed +10]

These shoes actually increase the running speed!

This made Wang Tao happy, running speed is still very important to him, after all, he doesn't have an ability specifically to increase speed.

There are not many materials needed to make shoes, so Wang Tao took out all these materials as soon as he thought about it.

In the darkness, a burst of colorful light flashed, and a pair of black shoes similar to military boots appeared in front of Wang Tao.

Jiang Shixue had already opened her eyes and looked at the shoes with some curiosity. She slept very lightly, and the movement of the colorful light just now was obviously seen by her.

Wang Tao directly put on the new shoes, and immediately felt that this pair of running boots was much more comfortable than the previous shoes!

The speed can't be tried for the time being, but Wang Tao feels that it should be able to improve a lot. Even without the speed gain, this level of durability and comfort alone is worth it.

Wang Tao saw Jiang Shixue's curious look, so he briefly explained to her that this was his new equipment.

Jiang Shixue didn't ask much, and continued to sleep on Wang Tao's shoulder.

Wang Tao put his arm around Jiang Shixue's shoulders and looked at the space backpack again. The spoils of the pus-filled zombies have been read, but he has not yet seen the three unconceived zombies and the package of flesh and blood in the zombie lair.

There are four packages in this one.

The packages that burst out of the three unformed zombies were all the same inside, they were three second-order all-powerful crystal nuclei!

One excellent, one excellent, one excellent!

This made Wang Tao a little surprised, and with these three, he could synthesize an epic all-round crystal nucleus again!

The totipotent crystal nucleus itself has no side effects, only impurities. After combining two Almighty Crystal Nuclei into an Epic Almighty Nucleus, one Nucleus has only 0.1% impurities.

He did the math and he now had 1.1% impurities in his body. If he could fuse nine 0.1% impurity almighty crystal nuclei, which was exactly 2% impurity, he could directly use two bottles of removal elixir to remove the impurities without the slightest waste!

Now there are only 3 Epic Almighty Crystal Nuclei, continue to save!

As for the huge mass of flesh and blood, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

【Second-Order Crystal Nucleus: Stripping】

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: none)]

[Peel: After fusion, you can freely choose to peel off a second-order ability of yourself.] Stripped abilities form a new nucleus with no side effects.]

This stripping ...... Isn't it similar to his extraction ability!

It seems that in addition to the inheritance when you move up the ranks, you can also change abilities with Peel Nuclei! Although he himself does not need it, others will. Wang Tao can already imagine the value of this crystal nucleus!

I just don't know what kind of zombies other people have to kill to get this peeling crystal nucleus......
