Chapter 199 Escalation Action
【Super Furious: Passive ability, which can increase: strength, running speed, athletic ability, and throwing skills. When the blood volume is lower than 30%, berserk is triggered (side effects: none)]
Seeing the properties of this special ability, Wang Tao's lips almost reached his ears.
What is Niubi? This is awesome! This one superpower can match the superpowers of others!
Wang Tao continued to look at the crystal core in his space backpack, and then decided to upgrade his high-frequency vibration ability to the second level.
The attack of this power is really high. Wang Tao now has a very good bone knife, which is perfect for matching with this power.
But Wang Tao can only fuse four crystal cores. He now has five abilities: shock wave, barrier, super rage, precise shooting and high-frequency vibration.
So Wang Tao is prepared to put precision shooting into the shadows for the time being.
After all, his Super Fury includes Throwing Mastery. Throwing Mastery is half as good as Precision Shooting. Long-range shooting is definitely not as good as Precision Shooting, but mid-range is still fine.
Anyway, as long as he has enough special energy, his powers can be used interchangeably in the future!
Wang Tao used a second-level ability to promote the high-frequency vibration to the second level and beyond. Then Wang Tao accidentally discovered that shock waves and high-frequency vibrations can be synthesized!
ˆ【Shock wave + high frequency vibration (91%)】
This probability is not low. Without too much hesitation, Wang Tao synthesized it immediately! It just puts high-frequency vibration at the forefront. Because there are relatively many shock wave crystal cores in his hand, if the shock is gone, they can still be fused again. But if the high-frequency vibration disappears, it is really gone.
After a while.
【Successful fusion, new ability obtained: Level 2, Level 1·Vibration Shock】
“Succeeded!”
Wang Tao's expression was not surprising. He had always been lucky. With such a high success rate, it was impossible for him to overturn.
【Vibration shock: consumes energy, you can use high-frequency vibration and shock waves】
Wang Tao thought that they would be combined into an ability that combined the two, but he didn’t expect that they could be used separately. But this is better and more convenient to use.
After the successful fusion of these two powers, Wang Tao has another vacant position!
Wang Tao looked at the crystal core in his hand and felt helpless. The crystal core is not enough.
Precision shooting does not need to be fused for the time being, and we will discuss it when necessary.
What he wanted to integrate most was naturally perception, but unfortunately he only had one perception core in his hand.
And the side effect of this sensory core is that non-female fusion will weaken the perception by 50%.
Since we want to fuse, we must fuse crystal nuclei with no side effects, especially since the side effects are so painful.
Perception can only wait for the time being.
As for the other crystal cores... Wang Tao felt that nothing suited him, so he fused a first-order sprint core and increased it to 10.
【Sprint: Consume energy and sprint forward a short distance】
This ability is quite good in close combat, and is more suitable for the current Wang Tao.
Wang Tao looked at his attributes again.
【HP: 29999/29999】
【Blue amount: 9500/9500】
【Special Energy: 26140】
【Impurities in the body: 1%】
【Power: Second-level vibration shock +1, second-level barrier +1, second-level super rage +1, first-level sprint +10】
Except for dash, the other three abilities are all synthesized abilities, and they are all +1.
Wang Tao can use the second-order all-purpose crystal core at will at this time, but he has considered that he will continue to synthesize it in the future. If he uses the all-purpose crystal core now, he will still be downgraded later.
So it’s better to wait and synthesize all these powers to the upper limit before using the all-powerful crystal core. As for the 1% of impurities in the body, we can only wait a little longer.
…
The next day.
Wang Tao woke up feeling refreshed. All negative conditions from yesterday have been eliminated.
Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun basically have no problems, but Nie Siyan still has some sequelae. She stayed in the room alone and did not dare to go out.
Wang Tao went in to take a look. When Nie Siyan saw Wang Tao, she seemed to have seen something that made her angry, and she subconsciously wanted to attack Wang Tao.
But she quickly stopped again, quickly dropped the steel pipe in her hand, and knelt in front of Wang Tao.
“Brother Wang, I didn’t mean it, I thought you were Huang Wei…”
“Get up.”
Wang Tao knew that this was not her fault. He could only say that her mental strength was too weak and the sequelae were too serious for her.
But compared to yesterday, it was still much better. At least she could recognize Wang Tao quickly.
After confirming that Nie Siyan’s life was not in danger, Wang Tao left. Today he continued to prepare to go to the places marked by him on the map to look for level three zombies.
It was purely an accident that I encountered a level 4 monster yesterday. In Bauhinia City now, second-level zombies are not very common, and third-level zombies are even rarer. The probability of encountering a fourth-level zombie is probably about the same as buying a lottery ticket. He didn't believe that he would meet again today.
The three of them drove away from the arcade city.
But after walking around for a day, Wang Tao felt helpless.
It is true that I didn’t encounter any existence of the fourth level today, but I didn’t encounter any of the third level either. I only encountered some second-level zombies and quite a few first-level zombies.
Wang Tao basically did not take any action during the whole process, and Xu Xiaojun took care of everything. Today is definitely a good harvest day for Xu Xiaojun. His HP already exceeds 20,000 and is heading towards 29,999.
After returning to the video game city in the evening, Wang Tao took another look at Nie Siyan's condition.
She is much better than she was in the morning and can go out to deal with some affairs in the base.
“Brother Wang, I will be fine tomorrow, really!”
Nie Siyan was flattered by Wang Tao's concern.
"That's good." Wang Tao nodded, and then said, "When tomorrow is ready, don't forget to contact other people to buy crystal cores."
"yes!"
night.
Wang Tao was doing his daily exercise when Nie Siyan suddenly came over.
“Brother Wang, I didn’t disturb you...”
Looking at Wang Tao's naked upper body, with sweat flowing on his beautiful muscles... Nie Siyan suddenly swallowed in disappointment.
She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look further.
It is said that men are lustful, but in fact, women are also lustful, or even more so. Of course she is no exception.
But after all, Wang Tao's shadow was too deep, and she didn't dare to go beyond it in the slightest.
“If you have anything, please tell me.”
Wang Tao spoke without looking back.
“That’s right, I just received news from the Bauhinia Base…”
"Huh? Bauhinia Base? Is it the number one power? Can their news spread so far?"
Wang Tao turned around, a little surprised.
Zijing City is very large, and the Zijing Base is located far away from the video game city. Normally, there is no way for the two to communicate directly.
"Yes, it's them! When the original Bauhinia base was first established, there was a signal tower built, which could transmit wireless signals over a long range. Later, there were several acid rains, which caused the signal tower to become unusable. Recently, they put the signal The tower has been repaired..."
Nie Siyan quickly explained.
“No wonder…”
Wang Tao suddenly realized that this was very reasonable.
“What did they say?”
"The Bauhinia Base said that zombies are evolving too fast now, but humans can't keep up with the zombies. If this continues, humans will perish sooner or later. So they are preparing to unite the major forces in Bauhinia City to carry out an upgrade campaign. …”
“Upgrade the movement?”
"The general meaning is that within the scope of Bauhinia City, select a few representatives, and then temporarily provide the resources of Bauhinia City to these representatives, so that these people can rise to the third level. With the third level of superpowers, the strength of human beings It will be greatly enhanced, and then these third-level superpowers will drive other humans to upgrade..."
After hearing Nie Siyan’s explanation, Wang Tao called him a good guy.
“Be rich first and bring wealth later?”
“That’s what it means…”
Theoretically speaking, there is indeed nothing wrong with this statement.
Since the number of superpowers has slowly increased, everyone has begun to realize the importance of high-level combat power.
Just like when Wang Tao was in Shuize County, they were all first-level superpowers at that time. A second-level Orangutan Lord zombie almost wiped out their entire base.
And after Wang Tao is promoted to the second level, it will not be too easy to deal with the second level toad zombies.
If the zombies have a high-level combat power, they will make it difficult for survivors to sleep or eat. On the contrary, if the survivor has a high-level combat power, not only can he overwhelm the opponent, but he can at least block the opponent's attack...
The current situation in Bauhinia City is that humans are only at level 2 at most, but zombies are already at level 3, overwhelming humans!
And this level 3 zombie is not just one or two, but many!
Just many of the places marked by Wang Tao on the map are places where third-level zombies are suspected to be active. Not to mention what other people see. There are even fourth-level monsters!
If humans could have third-level superpowers, the situation would definitely be different, at least they wouldn’t be so afraid...
Then if they want to gather the strength of the survivors in the city and let some of them take the lead in becoming level 3 superpowers, there is nothing wrong with that.
But there are two problems -
The first problem is that if you want to become the third level, you can only hunt the third level zombies and get the third level promotion core. And the third-level zombies are too dangerous. If you want to hunt them... a lot of people will probably die.
There are so many survivor forces, large and small, in Bauhinia City. Even if all the resources are pooled, it is impossible for each force to have a third-level superpower.
How to allocate the risks and benefits? You can't let people die in vain, right?
The second question is that it is okay for people who get rich first to drive others to get rich later, but if these people who get rich first do not drive everyone to get rich later, but instead bully and squeeze everyone, what should we do?
Fight with others? How can a first-level or second-level superpower fight against a third-level superpower?
Moreover, it has been a few months since the end of the world, and everyone knows the virtues of the survivors.
Before the end of the world, the standard for a good person might be to do something good; after the end of the world, the standard for a good person would probably be not to do bad things; but now, as long as you are not so bad, you can be called a good person...
So if these two issues are not clarified, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to respond to this call for “upgraded action”.
“What the Bauhinia Base means is that they want us forces to send people to their base to talk to them, saying that they guarantee that everyone will be satisfied…”
Nie Siyan continued.
“Let someone pass?”
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
His first reaction was Hongmen Banquet.
But he thought about it again and felt that it was unlikely.
These people may be bad, but they are definitely not stupid.
If there are no third-level superpowers, the situation will indeed get worse and worse. If you want to start a civil war at this time, both sides will definitely lose.
Besides, although the Bauhinia Base is ranked first, it is only one of the four major forces. There are three major forces behind it, plus other medium-sized forces, small forces, etc. It is impossible for the Bauhinia Base to catch all these people. possible…
Wang Tao felt that the Bauhinia Base definitely wanted to borrow the power of the survivors of Bauhinia City to help certain people reach the third level. These certain people must have their own people. Maybe the boss of Bauhinia Base has the idea of becoming a "martial arts leader"...
“Then shall we... go?”
Nie Siyan asked weakly.
Actually, she wants to go. If everyone else goes and you don’t go, you will definitely be isolated in the future.
If there are really some small forces, forget it. After all, some small forces can't even go far away. But Yinghuo Club is a medium-sized force and has the ability to go far away. If you don't go, it may not be good.
And if you go, you might be able to get a share of the pie... You don’t expect the good things of third-level superpowers to happen to you, but it would be good as long as there are a few more second-level superpowers.
However, although Nie Siyan is now the president, she has to listen to Wang Tao, and she will definitely not dare to make decisions without authorization.
"What do you think?"
Wang Tao did not answer, but asked instead.
“I think I can go…”
Nie Siyan secretly looked at Wang Tao's face. If Wang Tao was unhappy, she would immediately change her tone.
But Wang Tao nodded indifferently.
“Then go.”
Wang Tao is actually quite interested in this upgrade action.
It’s not that he wants to use everyone’s strength to advance to the third level, he doesn’t need this. He just thought that there must be a lot of people passing by this time, and he could trade crystal nuclei, information, etc...
Seeing that Wang Tao agreed, Nie Siyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay! Then...I'll wait for them to send someone over!"
"Um."
The message just sent over the radio was one-sided.
The arcade city can receive it, but there is no way to return it. So the Bauhinia Base will then send someone over to register.
And they also said that this time they will not let everyone go in vain. They will bring out things including second-order crystal nuclei to entertain everyone.
It can be seen that this Bauhinia base is quite generous in this matter.
This also indirectly proves their strength. After all, just sending people to various places in Zijing City to inform them is not a simple matter. Not to mention the subsequent entertainment and so on...
However, the more this happens, the more it shows that the leadership of this Bauhinia base has serious intentions. It is probably just as Wang Tao guessed, the boss of the Bauhinia Base is to be the "Martial Arts Leader" of Bauhinia City...
"But your strength is too poor. You must show off your muscles to participate in this kind of activity. If your strength is not good, you will have no choice but to be cannon fodder."
Wang Tao suddenly said again.
Hearing this, Nie Siyan cursed in her heart that their poor strength was not all caused by Wang Tao. But she only dared to say it in her heart and never dared to show it on her face. She now has an expression like "The boss taught me a lesson".
Wang Tao felt that if he wanted the Yinghuo Society to do things for him, it would definitely not work if his strength was too low. He happened to have a lot of crystal cores that he could not use, so he could improve their strength.
But it’s not free. It's okay to improve your strength, but you have to show your worth.
“Starting from tomorrow, you will take people to collect supplies and hunt zombies.”
Wang Tao said to Nie Siyan.
"yes!"
Nie Siyan was a little confused, but she agreed immediately.
…
The next day.
Nie Siyan's aftereffects of the illusion had basically disappeared, and she immediately summoned everyone in the base.
At present, excluding Wang Tao and the other three, the base has a total of 33 people. This number is indeed ridiculously small for a medium-sized force.
Nie Siyan said that everyone should go out to collect supplies and hunt zombies. No one is left on base.
Hearing this, everyone was surprised at first, and then a little frightened.
This President Nie won’t sell them too, right? After all, there are lessons learned. But if this is the case, they can't resist...
Soon, Nie Siyan walked out of the base with the survivors with different thoughts.
Inside the base, Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun to guard. After all, this is Wang Tao's destination, and he doesn't want zombies to come in.
Then Wang Tao secretly followed Nie Siyan's team out.
The route Nie Siyan led today was given by Wang Tao.
This journey will definitely not be peaceful, and you will encounter various dangers.
Wang Tao just wanted to see how good these people were in combat and whether their character was good enough.
His requirements are not high, as long as he can kill zombies of the same level independently and not deliberately harm his companions.
Wang Tao was a little surprised after following Nie Siyan's team out for a day.
These people are actually pretty good.
Perhaps it’s because Wang Tao sold all those who were about to go bad to prison. Although the people who remained were not strong, they were barely qualified in terms of combat quality and character. After all, in this situation, we can't ask for too much.
After Nie Siyan brought everyone back in the evening, everyone collapsed on the ground. If Nie Siyan hadn't been concerned about her image as the president, she would have wanted to lie on the ground and not get up.
It’s really difficult to take action today!
Along the way, they never stopped.
From the first time I went out, I encountered ordinary zombies, to the crazy zombies, to the first-level zombies, to the second-level zombies... I barely encountered the third-level zombies.
They almost didn't come back...
But luckily, I’m back safely.
Especially when Nie Siyan received a compliment from Wang Tao that was both salty and mild, it suddenly felt unreal. She instantly felt that no matter how difficult today was, it was worth it! After all, it was Wang Tao’s compliment!
What she didn’t know, unfortunately, was that the reason they were having such a difficult time today was actually because Wang Tao deliberately lured the zombies there...
At this time, Wang Tao suddenly said to Nie Siyan:
“Come to my room at night.”
"…yes!"
Nie Siyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt nervous and excited.
“I, my chance has come?”
She hurried back to her room. When she was searching for supplies, she deliberately kept a lot of beautiful clothes...
