The second is He Jijun. Although he was the oldest of all, he had the most experience in various battles. And his hidden ability is to grow old and strong, so he doesn't have to worry about the attenuation of combat effectiveness due to his age.

The third is Wei Zhenguo, who is one of Wang Tao's earliest friends, both in terms of personality and strength, he is recognized by Wang Tao.

The last one is Han Rui, she is the second person to follow Wang Tao, and her own strength is strong enough.

After determining the candidates, Wang Tao let them begin to fuse and promote the crystal nucleus. Each of them has four abilities, so they need exactly 16 promotion cores.

These ascending crystal nuclei are all exceptional and epic qualities. There were no accidents, and all four of them fused successfully.

Then there is the fusion awakening key, and the same as the fusion crystal nucleus, they put the awakening key in their mouths, and the fusion is quickly completed.

"I feel like I've got the key to awakening......"

Lan Yulian spoke in some surprise.

She could clearly "see" that there was a star-like point of light in her body. It's as if you can start awakening with your mind!

"Let's get started."

After hearing Wang Tao's words, the four of them immediately chose to wake up!

They instantly felt the key in their bodies disappear, and then the maximum amount of health began to plummet. 110,000 blood fell to 10,000 in the blink of an eye!

Wang Tao had fused them with a HP increase crystal nucleus before, so their upper limit of HP was 110,000.

"I've got an ability gone!"

Lan Yulian exclaimed.

"Me too!"

He Jijun spoke.

After the two finished speaking, they felt very sleepy and lay directly on the table.

Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui were left glaring at each other.

"My abilities are still ......"

"Mine is ...... too"

Wang Tao said helplessly:

"Then it looks like you two have failed."

“……”

The onlookers were stunned.

Although Wang Tao said that there is a 50% probability that the first awakening will fail. But seeing with their own eyes that two out of four people failed, their hearts sank instantly. That's a 50% chance of failure!

And if you fail the first time, the subsequent awakening will become more and more difficult, and the probability of success will become less and less, and eventually it will be reduced to 10%!

Wang Tao was also very helpless, saying that it was 50%, but it was really 50%, and only two of the four people succeeded......

Seeing that Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui were a little distracted, Wang Tao went over and patted Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui on the shoulders and said:

"Don't be too sad, failure is failure, it doesn't matter, we still have a chance, and I told you before, the Awakened have a way to increase the success rate of other people's awakening, but that direction takes time to accumulate. But in other words, as long as the accumulated time is enough, everyone can awaken! ”

The method that Wang Tao said is that after accumulating enough 100 Awakening Keys, you can extract a high-level Awakening Key. Advanced Awakening Keys have a 70% success rate.

But this high-level Awakening Key requires saving 100 Awakening Keys, which means that you have to kill 100 Fourth-Order Lords!

Wang Tao is only 12 now, which is still far away. However, if there are more zombies and monsters of the fourth-order lord in the future, the speed of his accumulation will be very fast......

"It's okay, isn't it just awakening! No big deal! Wake up first and go back to protect me, haha! ”

Wei Zhenguo first sighed, and then said with a smile.

He was a little disappointed, but not sad.

If you can do the best, you don't need to be too disappointed if you can't. Wei Zhenguo feels that he is already very lucky to survive, and now he earns one more day of life. He just felt a little ashamed that he had wasted a few crystal nuclei and the key to awakening for Wang Tao.

Compared with Wei Zhenguo, Han Rui is very sad.

She wanted to quickly improve her strength to help Wang Tao, but now it seems that she is likely to be delayed...... After all, after her failure this time, she will need two awakening keys next time she awakens, and the awakening probability has been reduced to 40%. Rationally speaking, she is no longer suitable for awakening, and it is more appropriate to give this awakening opportunity to others.

Seeing Han Rui biting her lip, tears filled her eyes. Wang Tao kissed her on the forehead.

"Okay, okay, don't say that you failed the first time, even if you fail in the future, I will protect you!"

Wang Tao didn't say that it was okay, but when he said Han Rui, it was even more uncomfortable.

As soon as she thought that everyone else would successfully awaken in the future, only she was still a third-order, and she still needed Wang Tao's protection...... So what's the difference between her and waste?

"Woo ......"

Han Rui suddenly cried in Wang Tao's arms.

“…… If you can't speak, don't talk! ”

Ding Yuqin glanced at Wang Tao, and then quickly snatched Han Rui from Wang Tao's arms and went to the side to enlighten her alone.

Wang Tao shrugged, and then said:

"You carry Lao He back to the room, let's wait until this time tomorrow, we can know what kind of awakening they are!"

"Good!"

Wei Zhenguo and several people carried He Jijun away. Wang Tao carried Lan Yulian to his room.

He was looking forward to Lan Yulian's awakening, after all, this was a big. The improvement of her strength is equivalent to the improvement of the overall strength of Wang Tao's team.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Cui Sheng came again.

"Mr. Wang, the city hall is going to open some meteorites this afternoon to see the situation, do you think you have time?"

Cui Sheng is quite interesting. Wang Tao gave him his contact information, but Cui Sheng never contacted Wang Tao, and he came over in person for everything.

"Where?"

"Because there may be monsters that cause panic among the residents. So the town hall set up a temporary camp outside the east gate of the base. ”

"Okay, let's go."

Wang Tao nodded, he was also looking forward to those crystal energy star meteorites.

"Okay! Are you alone, or ......"

Wang Tao thought about it and prepared to bring Xiang Hongbin, Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan with them.

He was going to get a better set of prosthetics for Xiang Hongbin before, and this time he happened to ask by the way, the city hall should have this thing.

As for Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun, they naturally started or something.

However, Lightning, who was playing with Lu Gang and them, didn't know where he found out that Wang Tao was going out, so he ran over directly and rubbed Wang Tao's leg with his head.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me."

"Wang!"

So, Wang Tao took Nie Siyan, Xu Xiaojun, Xiang Hongbin and Lightning into the car together.

Cui Sheng prepared several cars, including an elongated large off-road vehicle, all of which were hung with the sign of the city hall.

After all, Wang Tao was a fourth-order ability, and Wang Tao might not care too much about pomp, but he definitely had to pay attention to these details.

In the car, Cui Sheng told Wang Tao about the current situation.

"At present, in addition to you and our town hall, there are also the Hope Institute, the Fourth Legion, the Stormtroopers, the Vientiane League, and the Loyal Gang......"

After Cui Sheng's introduction, Wang Tao also has a general understanding of these forces.

It is worth mentioning that the bald man who opened the meteorite and released the monster before was a member of the Loyalty Gang, to be precise, a supernumerary member of the Loyalty Gang.

There are generally two cases of such non-staff personnel.

One is naturally that the strength is not enough, and people don't accept you as a full member, so you can only be a supernumerary first, perform well and wait for the opportunity.

The other is that if you have enough strength, you want to join a force for some reasons, but you don't want to be too restricted, then you should be a supernumerary. Bald men fall into the second category.

The Loyal Gang is a large force, and their leader is one of the 23 members of the committee.

Listening to Cui Sheng, the city hall did not punish the bald man much, but only symbolically fined some money. After all, those who don't know are not to blame, and the bald man is equivalent to helping them wade into troubled waters. And there are other people who open the meteorite and release monsters, so they can't all be punished.

But this morning, the Loyal Gang punished the bald man severely, and in the square where the cockroach monster was destroyed, the bald man who was stripped naked was beaten half to death while many people watched. If it weren't for the rational onlookers pleading for mercy, the bald man might have been beaten to death.

After punishing the bald man, the Loyal Gang took out a lot of money and materials and gave them to the families of those injured and killed by the cockroach monster, saying that it was compensation for them.

The people who got the money were immediately grateful, and the city hall had not yet compensated them, but they received compensation from the Loyalty Gang first. They can now receive two compensations!

Hearing these things, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

From the people's point of view, there is nothing wrong with this loyal gang. It not only punishes the culprits who caused all this, but also gives financial compensation to those who suffer from the disaster.

But from the perspective of the city hall, the series of actions of the Loyal Gang is intriguing.

After all, the city hall is the real manager of the Changhe base, and it is the official organization here.

The city hall didn't punish the people, you punished. What the town hall didn't compensate, you also compensated...... What are you trying to do?

"It's kind of interesting! Are your leaders upset? ”

Wang Tao asked with a smile.

Cui Sheng suddenly looked at Wang Tao with a look of surprise.

"Mr. Wang, how do you know? I'm still being scolded by the leader today...... Cough! ”

I don't know if this Cui Sheng is really surprised or fakely surprised, Wang Tao didn't answer, but said:

"Is that bald guy here today?"

Wang Tao was a little curious if this bald man was voluntary. After all, no matter what, he was also a third-order ability. humiliating punishment in front of so many ordinary people......

"No, he's seriously injured and he's recuperating at home."

Cui Sheng hurriedly said.

Wang Tao nodded, didn't say anything more, and continued to listen to Cui Sheng's popular science on other forces.

……

An hour later, the convoy came to the East City Gate.

Although it is not the first time to see the high wall of the Changhe base, every time he sees it, Wang Tao is amazed. I really don't know how they managed to build such a high wall in such a short period of time.

There are heavily armed soldiers on duty in front of the city gates, and you need to register when you go out and check when you enter.

Buzz –

After Cui Sheng identified himself, one of the thick doors opened.

The convoy drove out in turn.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, after leaving the base, Wang Tao felt that the air outside was much more turbid.

"Mr. Wang, it's just ahead!"

Cui Sheng pointed ahead.

Not far ahead, there was an army-green tent.

Around the tent, there were infantry combat vehicles, tanks, artillery, a large number of mechanical exoskeleton soldiers, several power armor, and two helicopter gunships parked on the ground......

This battle is too big!

Wang Tao can only say that the city hall is well prepared.

Soon, the convoy arrived at this makeshift camp. The soldiers stationed there got out of the way and let the convoy move in.

In the car, compared with Wang Tao, who was very calm, Cui Sheng was a little excited.

He basically had never participated in an event of this scale, and if it weren't for Wang Tao, he would obviously be inqualified.

But no matter how excited he was, he didn't forget his job, and when the car slowly stopped, he immediately got out of the car first and trotted over to help Wang Tao open the car door.

……

Outside the tent of the camp, a group of people stood.

Watching the convoy with the sign of the city hall slowly coming, one of the men with a tiger's back and a scary scar on his face spoke:

"This is the new kid?"

Next to the scar man stood a tall and thin man in military uniform, with a somewhat handsome appearance, explaining:

"Hmm. It's him, his name is Wang Tao, and he is an awakened person. ”

"Tsk, can awaken outside...... It's kind of amazing! ”

Scar Man exclaimed.

Only those who have sprinted towards awakening, or who have already awakened, will know how difficult awakening is.

Most of the awakened people in the Changhe base rely on the advantages of numbers and equipment to kill zombies, and slowly accumulate enough awakening conditions.

People like Wang Tao, who are outside the Changhe base and awaken by himself or some small forces, are a minority after all.

This also shows a problem - this Wang Tao was very strong before awakening!

At this time, a man wearing black armor all over his body, holding a large knife in his hand, and holding a knife flower from time to time, sneered:

"Hehe, no matter whether it is strong or not before awakening, as long as it awakens, the awakened people will run the same line together, and they will all be the same strong! We don't need to grow the ambition of others and destroy our own prestige! ”

Hearing his words, some people were expressionless, and some people nodded secretly. But there are also those who refute it.

"Huh! That can't be said, we're all family! What kind of ambition, majestic ...... If you can live in harmony and peace, you can survive in the last days! ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who was a little obese and had a faint smile on his face.

Hearing him speak, the man in armor snorted, but said nothing more.

Buzz –

The convoy slowly stopped not far from everyone.

The co-pilot's door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a secretary trotted out of the car, came to the back and opened the door.

"Heh, where did you find that dog's leg!"

The man in armor snorted disdainfully.

As soon as he said this, several people looked meaningfully at the man standing in the middle of them, who was wearing a high-end suit and his hair was meticulously combed.

The man in the suit said expressionlessly:

"Maybe you got it from me."

“？”

The armored man didn't react for a while, and someone next to him whispered:

"That person is Secretary General Gu's subordinate."

"Ahem~"

The armored man was suddenly a little embarrassed, and quickly turned his head.

Everyone else looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but no one spoke.

After Cui Sheng opened the car door, a burly man in a suit and a beautiful woman in a skirt looked like a secretary.

As soon as the man and woman came down, they stood aside like bodyguards.

Then a strong man with a disfigured face, multiple disabilities on his body, and wearing a prosthetic leg got out of the car.

Seeing this person, everyone frowned.

This injury...... Can you still survive?

This disabled strong man was holding an iron chain in his hand, and at the end of the chain, a huge military dog came out!

Seeing this military dog, everyone's hearts exclaimed - what a handsome dog!

And...... This is a third-order mutant beast?

Hiss –

Almost everyone's eyes lit up!

Mutant beasts, or military dogs! This is something that can be met but not sought!

Finally, a handsome man with an extremely burly figure and a casual outfit walked down.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Tao."

Looking at the group of people standing in front of him, Wang Tao nodded slightly.

"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Gu Yun."

The man in the suit walked over and took the initiative to reach out.

Cui Sheng, who was following behind Wang Tao, hurriedly explained in a low voice:

"Mr. Wang, this is Secretary General Gu of our City Hall!"

"Secretary-General Gu, hello!"

Wang Tao and Gu Yun shook hands.

[HP: 35000/35000]

[Blue Amount: 13600/13600]

[Level: 3rd Order]

This Gu Yun was an ordinary third-order ability, with no hidden ability, and he didn't even reach the upper limit of his blood.

In the town hall, the secretary general and the secretary seem to have only one more word, but in essence, they are very different.

The Secretary-General is a senior management position that presides over the overall work of the town hall and serves the main leadership.

And the secretary of the city hall, if he has no other part-time job, is an errand worker, and he doesn't even have a formal position, let alone various rights.

This Gu Yun is Cui Sheng's direct leader, and Cui Sheng's behavior of respecting Wang Tao so much and personally sending Wang Tao's spoils over must have been indicated by Gu Yun. Otherwise, even if Cui Sheng had the courage, he would not have this right.

"Mr. Wang, please, let me introduce you to ......"

Gu Yun took Wang Tao to the front of everyone, and instantly introduced according to the order of the position:

"This is the stormtrooper boss Zid."

Qi De is a man with a tiger's back and a scar on his face, he is a little shorter than Wang Tao, estimated to have a 1.9-meter appearance, but he is stronger than Wang Tao and even stronger than Xu Xiaojun!

"Haha, hello Mr. Wang! It's better to be famous than to meet! Welcome, welcome! ”

Zid laughed and held out his hand. His face looked a little fierce, especially the scar, which smiled like a centipede wriggling.

"Boss Qi, hello!"

Wang Tao reached out and shook his hand.

[HP: 100000/100000]

[Blue amount: 31200/31200]

[Level: 4th Order]

[Awakening: Powerful]

[Strength: All basic attributes are increased in all directions, and the strength is greatly increased (the increase is related to the upper limit of awakening energy)]

This is the first time Wang Tao has seen an awakened person other than himself in so long.

And Zid's awakening is a passive awakening. The explosive ability of passive awakening is definitely not as good as that of active awakening, but it is very long-lasting, after all, it happens passively.

But Wang Tao has always had a question before, for passive awakening, awakening energy seems to be useless?

Now after seeing Qi De's attributes, Wang Tao understands that awakening energy is also useful for passive awakening!
