Chapter 206 Gymnasium (ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
Wang Tao was not too surprised when he heard this somewhat sensational news. He looked at Lan Yulian.
“Are you also involved?”
"No." Lan Yulian shook her head. "We only found out recently. This was something jointly done by the base and the prison. Neither we nor the Alliance of Superpowers knew about it...otherwise I would definitely stop it!"
She was shocked when she found out about this. If it hadn't been too late by then, she would have definitely tried to stop it.
After all, this matter is too dangerous. To a certain extent, this is making a joke with the lives of all the survivors in Bauhinia City!
“Then now…”
Wang Tao asked again.
“Those zombies are all in the city gymnasium. Before raising the zombies, they cut off their limbs in advance and tied them up to prevent them from resisting and escaping.”
"And now, those zombies have been successfully promoted to the third level, and their strength after promotion is much weaker than the normal third level zombies. They thought they succeeded, but these zombies are slowly getting stronger, and they will evolve! Some New limbs grow, some evolve into other limbs, and some even combine together..."
Speaking of this, Lan Yulian's face turned a little pale.
She has seen the situation there with her own eyes, and feels a little physically uncomfortable every time she thinks about it.
“…The situation over there is a bit out of control. I summoned so many people this time just to kill those zombies quickly. Otherwise, if those zombies rush out, we will be in big trouble!"
Wang Tao thought for a while and asked curiously:
“Can’t they solve it themselves?”
From what Lan Yulian said, the zombies they kept in captivity should be relatively weak and have been greatly restricted. They can't even get out of the gym. With the strength of Bauhinia Base, it should be able to solve it. Apart from anything else, there are a lot of guns in the Bauhinia Base. Since these zombies are trapped, aren't they shooting with guns like shooting at a target?
"Theoretically, they can solve it, but the danger is too high. Because there is a problem with their cage, many zombies are out of control. But those zombies can't get out of the gym for the time being... so we can only send people in to kill them. If they go in and solve it by force, they will definitely lose a lot of people. Although their Bauhinia base has a lot of people, they can't afford too many losses... However, there is the most important point..."
Lan Yulian paused for a moment.
"The most important thing is that the zombies inside include not only third-level elite zombies, but also a very strong zombie without a crystal core. It's a bit similar to the crazy zombies. They can't directly tell which kind of zombie has a crystal core... "
“Good guy, no wonder!”
Hearing this, Wang Tao suddenly understood.
The reasons Lan Yulian mentioned before are indeed some difficult problems, but as long as you are determined, they can always be solved. The last reason is the key point - there is a powerful zombie in the gym but without a crystal core!
Killing this kind of zombie is completely thankless.
So the Zijing Base simply tricked all the survivors in Zijing City into working there.
Of course, if they can fulfill their promise and benefit other survivors, it is not considered cheating, but mutual help.
“So, will the promise of the Bauhinia Base be fulfilled?”
Wang Tao looked at Lan Yulian.
"Of course they will. No matter how strong they are, they would not dare to go against the survivors of the entire Bauhinia City, and friendly cooperation is the basis for long-term survival. They are not stupid."
"That's good."
Wang Tao nodded, as long as he didn't deliberately deceive people.
"dinner time!"
Lu Yingfeng shouted in the kitchen that she was the one who cooked today's dishes.
Lan Yulian hurried over to serve the food, while Wang Taodong didn't move and ate grapes with Jiang Shixue like an old man.
When the food was served, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
● Let’s not talk about how the food tastes today. At least it looks much better than yesterday’s food.
Wang Tao did not hide his emotions, and the two women naturally discovered it.
Lu Yingfeng’s face was calm, while Lan Yulian was a little helpless. She admitted that there was indeed a gap.
"please!"
Wang Tao was not polite, picked up a piece of lean meat, chewed it a few times, and said with admiration:
“It tastes great!”
This is not a compliment. Today's food is really great, especially compared with yesterday's. It's like heaven and earth.
“Xiaofeng has practiced specially before!”
Hearing Wang Tao's compliment, Lu Yingfeng still spoke, while Lan Yulian looked very proud, as if she was the one being praised. It can be felt that the relationship between the two is very good.
“Xiaoxue, eat more!”
Then Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng began to add vegetables to Jiang Shixue.
"Thanks."
A few people were chatting while eating.
The topic of zombies was naturally ignored for the time being, after all, it affects the appetite.
When talking about food, Lan Yulian said with some envy:
“The Bauhinia Base is such a great place! Not only does it have a large area, strong defense, and beautiful scenery, but you can also grow your own vegetables and raise your own pigs…”
Wang Tao is not surprised, he can guess it by looking at the food, otherwise the Bauhinia Base would not be able to supply fresh food to so many people.
"And their vegetables and pigs have mutated and grown very big! But they can all be eaten. Those pigs are also very honest and not aggressive."
Lu Yingfeng was also very envious.
When Wang Tao heard this, he seemed very interested. He has only seen some inedible plant mutations and some fish mutations. He hadn't seen vegetables, pigs, etc., so he was going to go back and see what they looked like. Definitely not to steal food.
Wang Tao changed the topic after asking Lan Yulian about the location of the Bauhinia Base Plantation. I took the initiative to ask about the Bauhinia Base allowing other forces to rank.
Lan Yulian told Wang Tao that it was just as he imagined. This ranking is to prepare for the quota for third-level superpowers.
However, although the higher the ranking, the easier it is to get a spot, the higher the ranking, the more you pay. If you want to get a good ranking, you must be prepared to pay.
Just like the four major forces this time, although they have all designated some quotas, they also have a lot of people dispatched this time...
There is no absolute fairness in the world, but there is still relative fairness. The Bauhinia Base tries to maintain a relatively fair state, which can avoid many problems.
The more Wang Tao got to know him, the more he felt that the leader of the Bauhinia Base was powerful, which was a little different from the rumors outside. But this is also normal. Anyone who looks at something will more or less wear a filter. What others say is definitely not reliable, but what you see with your own eyes is more accurate.
"By the way, I heard that there is a very special crystal core in the Bauhinia Base. After successful fusion, it can be used by multiple superpowers together? Do you know what the crystal core is?"
“It is a kind of superpower that can spray mucus. This mucus is not very sticky, but it can make zombies weak..."
Lan Yulian gave a brief explanation.
Wang Tao suddenly understood.
If zombies can be weakened on a large scale, the probability of killing these zombies will indeed be much higher.
Wang Tao asked a lot more questions, and Lan Yulian said everything he could.
At this time, Lan Yulian suddenly looked at Wang Tao and said:
“I’ve told you so much information, come to our club!”
int
Wang Tao immediately refused.
Lan Yulian suddenly felt a little angry.
Forget it if she refuses, she still refuses so perfunctorily, thanks to the fact that she still answered all the questions just now.
Lu Yingfeng next to her couldn’t stand it anymore.
She said to Wang Tao:
“Wang Tao, you don’t know how strong our leader is, right? There are many people who are willing to join our club but they are not qualified yet.”
“How strong are you? Are there any rankings among you powerful superpowers? Where does Ms. Blue rank?”
Wang Tao asked directly.
…”
They did have a private ranking of combat effectiveness before, but Lan Yulian was not on the list.
However, this does not mean that Lan Yulian is not good, but that her ability is not for head-on combat.
"Our leader is not a combat superpower, but a superpower with healing abilities! Our leader is the only one in the entire Bauhinia City who has this kind of healing ability! Not to mention that our leader is also a doctor... If you join In our club, as long as the injury is not fatal, we can save it!"
“Oh? Healing people with superpowers?”
Those with healing powers are indeed rare. Except for this Lan Jade Lotus, Wang Tao has never seen anyone else. Ding Yuqin's one doesn't count, hers is a hidden ability.
However, Wang Tao has seen one zombie with healing power, and he still has a crystal core with healing power...
“How are you, are you interested?”
Lu Yingfeng suddenly spoke with a little pride.
Actually, she is usually quite cold and not like this, but she doesn’t know why she feels so relaxed when chatting with Wang Tao.
“I’m actually a little interested.”
“Then…as long as you join us, you can enjoy the treatment from our leader!”
"I won't join." Wang Tao still shook his head, but he continued, "Unless you tell me why you insist on letting me join. Don't fool me with the previous reasons. I know there must be a reason."
…”
Looking at Wang Tao's lack of energy, both women had a headache.
Wang Tao had to know the reason, but if Wang Tao didn't join, they didn't dare to tell the reason. Because the crystal core they have that can only fuse men seems to be very powerful, and they are still a little conflicted internally. If someone attacks them from the outside again because of this matter, it will be troublesome...
Seeing that neither of them were willing to say anything, Wang Tao shrugged. At this time, he was actually a little curious. But he will definitely not take the initiative.
After dinner, Wang Tao ate some after-dinner fruit with Jiang Shixue and prepared to leave.
At this time, Lan Yulian stopped him.
Wang Tao thought she had changed her mind, but no, she wanted to buy some crystal nuclei and medicine from Wang Tao.
It seems they should have tested it yesterday and it worked well.
"How much do you want? I happen to have another batch of goods here. If you ask for it later, I might have already taken action."
Wang Tao has a lot of things in his hands, but he has to pretend to be in short supply.
Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng had no doubts about this, because these things were indeed good and the small quantity was very reasonable.
Wang Tao has priced all these things.
One revitalizing potion, priced at 3 first-order crystal nuclei of any type and quality. The cost for him to make this potion was one first-order crystal core and a little water and food. And you can still make 5 at a time! So this price is a steal.
As for the price of crystal cores, there are certain price fluctuations due to the many types.
But overall, it is cheaper than the market price. Moreover, these high-quality crystal cores are priceless and difficult to buy in the market. They are basically in the hands of big forces...
Moreover, this is a preferential price for Wang Tao, and the price sold to others is higher than this. After all, different people should be treated differently. Lan Yulian and the others are big customers, so they must feel comfortable.
Sure enough, when Wang Tao exported his goods at this price, both of them were a little surprised. Because it was much cheaper than they expected.
After confirming that the price was okay, Lan Yulian went to the room and took out a lot of white second-order crystal nuclei.
Then she called her subordinates and asked them to bring the first-order crystal core.
It was only then that Wang Tao learned that the club occupied two villas, No. 6 and No. 7 respectively. Lan Yulian and others live in No. 7, and the others live in No. 6.
Wang Tao asked curiously why the clubhouse did not choose a courtyard.
When talking about this issue, both Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng looked unhappy.
“What other reason could there be? I just lost the competition.”
Lan Yulian sighed.
"Ah? Didn't you let Lu Yingfeng come up? With her strength, can she lose in a fight?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
Lu Yingfeng obviously has pure fighting ability. Wang Tao can feel that she is very strong, and there should not be many people who can defeat her.
As soon as he said these words, the two women looked at Wang Tao in surprise.
Lan Yulian was surprised that Wang Tao knew Lu Yingfeng's strength. It was a surprise that Lu Yingfeng was praised by Wang Tao - which in her opinion was a good compliment.
Lan Yulian explained angrily:
“Of course it wasn’t Xiaofeng, otherwise I wouldn’t have lost. Anyway, it was calculated by the people from the Alliance of Superpowers.”
In fact, it doesn’t matter where they live. They are all survivors of the apocalypse and don’t care much about the environment. But the problem is that the other two major forces live in the courtyard, so they are the only ones in the villa. This feels like they are being kicked out of the four major forces, which is a bit unpleasant.
"All right."
This was obviously a sad thing for them, and Wang Tao didn't ask much.
He took out a large handful of brightly colored crystal nuclei from his arms.
“Look at which one you want, pick whatever you want.”
Both women’s eyes were bright for such shiny things.
It took a little time and the two parties reached a deal.
Wang Tao looked at the second-order crystal nuclei in his hand and grinned.
Sure enough, it is indeed too slow to kill zombies or something like that. It's easier to just deal with people directly.
Although most of these are white crystal nuclei, Wang Tao doesn't care, he can synthesize them anyway.
Before leaving, Wang Tao said to Lan Yulian:
“Today’s grapes are a little sour, let’s get more sweet ones tomorrow!”
…”
This man is so rude!
Even Lan Yulian, looking at Wang Tao's arrogant look, had the urge to beat him up. But after seeing Jiang Shixue's big, pure eyes, she took a deep breath.
“Okay, I’ll ask someone from the base to send it over.”
“Thank you sister!”
At Wang Tao’s signal, Jiang Shixue thanked her.
Listening to this sweet voice, Lan Yulian felt that everything was worth it again.
"No, we must bring Wang Tao into our club! Not to mention Wang Tao's own value, let's talk about this Jiang Shixue, such a weak and pure girl, we must protect her!"
Lan Yulian clenched her fists and said.
“The leader is right!”
Lu Yingfeng also strongly agrees.
…
After Wang Tao returned to Building 8, Nie Siyan went out to discuss business and had not returned yet.
Wang Tao took out a blueprint in the room.
【Drawings for making full-body armor made of branches: You can make a set of full-body armor made of branches. Required materials: third-order crystal nucleus*1…]
This is the item dropped by killing the third-level tree root zombie before.
Wang Tao himself has entangled tree roots, so he naturally doesn’t need this set of equipment. He originally prepared it for Xu Xiaojun, but he never had the chance to get it.
Now that I have more third-order crystal nuclei in my hand, I can naturally make equipment.
After Wang Tao took out these materials, an idea came to his mind.
I saw these materials and design drawings instantly blooming with a burst of colorful light.
After the light ended, a full-body armor appeared in Wang Tao's eyes.
It includes full body armor such as helmet, breastplate, shoulder pads, and a huge shield. This shield can be carried on your back at ordinary times and used at critical moments.
【Tree branch full body armor】
【Level 3 (Excellent)】
【Durability +50, Defense +50 (slightly less resistant to fire)】
The manufacturing process of this armor is a bit like rattan armor, it is all woven. But this armor is pure black, and the branches on it don't look like wood, but like steel. The ice was cold to the touch and heavy.
This suit of armor is somewhat similar to Wang Tao’s arm guards, knee pads, chest armor and the like, all of which can be adjusted in size.
Wang Tao put it on and tried it on himself.
“The weight is just right, and it’s flexible...it feels great.”
This is certainly not as good as entangling tree roots, but it is much better than other equipment.
Wang Tao called Xu Xiaojun over after playing for a while.
“I’ve prepared a suit of armor for you.”
Xu Xiaojun's eyes lit up when he saw this suit of armor, especially when he saw a large shield. He immediately took it in his hand and tried it. The shield was big, but just right for him.
Xu Xiaojun knew about Wang Tao’s entangled tree roots, so he did not refuse.
“Brother Wang, I feel like this suits me very well!”
“I think so too. This will be your exclusive armor from now on, and paired with your ax, it’s just right!”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
“Thank you, Brother Wang!”
Xu Xiaojun’s eyes were very grateful.
To put it bluntly, with this armor, his survivability will increase at least ten times! Not to mention the increase in combat power.
“Tomorrow, you can help the Fireflies Club to fight in some competitions and gain some ranking.”
"good!"
Xu Xiaojun nodded immediately.
The ranking affects whether he can fight third-level zombies. Wang Tao naturally needs a ranking.
Those zombies in the stadium may be a big trouble for some people. But to Wang Tao, these are all special energy and trophies!
After all, Wang Tao can tell which zombies have crystal nuclei and which ones do not!
