Chapter 245： He Jijun

Chapter 245 He Jijun

Wang Tao heard the gunfire, which made him a little excited.

There is a military base here. If you hear gunshots here, wouldn’t it be possible to meet soldiers?

Wang Tao immediately asked Yang Changhong to drive the car in the direction of the gunfire.

“Are you sure you really heard the gunshot?”

Yang Changhong was a little unsure. She really didn't hear anything just now. It wasn't that her ears weren't working, but it was raining, windy, and thundering. In such a noisy environment, it was difficult to distinguish other sounds.

"It should be gunshots, but I'm not sure. Let's take a look first."

Wang Tao nodded.

He and Jiang Shixue researched it, and after spending some time, they finally set their target on another asphalt road.

“The sound probably came from here, let’s look for it!”

Two cars began to search slowly along the asphalt road.

At a certain moment, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue looked at the same place at the same time.

At the same time, there was only a "bang" sound, and a bullet hit the roadside of the vehicle where Wang Tao was sitting.

Yang Changhong and others immediately became vigilant, and then they saw an old man with a white beard wearing a knitted hat emerging from the pile of abandoned vehicles. He held a shotgun in his hand and pointed it at the vehicle, with light smoke coming out of the gun.

“What do you want to do by following me?”

The old man's eyes were like eagles staring at Wang Tao's two cars.

When Wang Tao saw this old man, he looked surprised.

This is actually an ordinary person with 1000 health!

【HP: 896/1000】

【Status: Corrosive acid rain, the body is slightly corroded, and it will return to normal after a certain period of rest】

【Mana amount: 0/0】

【Level: None】

【Hidden attribute: old and strong】

【Lao Dang Yizhuang: physical strength and mental strength are not limited by age】

An ordinary person was actually seen near the urban area of ​​Wuyang City, where it is said that even if a person with super powers comes, there will be no life left.

Although he has a shotgun in his hand, can he survive here with just this shotgun?

You should know that gunshots can attract zombies!

But this old man has a hidden attribute called "Laodang Yizhuang", which looks pretty good. This may be one of the reasons why he is still alive today.

“Old man, don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean any harm!”

Wang Tao didn’t get out of the car, and his voice came from inside the car.

This old man has a gun after all and is very vigilant. Although Wang Tao is strong, there is no need to be tough on bullets.

“No malice? Then let’s go.”

The old man's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more. He clearly didn't want to cause trouble.

It is definitely impossible for Wang Tao to leave.

Ever since he left Duzhu Town, he has not seen a single human survivor along the way. Now that he finally saw someone, he needed to get to know him. Moreover, Wang Tao is quite interested in the old man himself.

“Old man, we really don’t have any ill intentions. And with all due respect, if I do have any ill intentions, you can’t stop me.”

Hearing Wang Tao's words, the old man sneered.

“Heh, you can try it, your speed is faster, or my bullets are faster!”

There is no need for Wang Tao to try his gun, but Wang Tao also has methods to scare him.

“Xiaoxue, can you control him for a while? Is that okay?”

Jiang Shixue’s hidden attribute is [Eye of Contract], which in addition to night vision, can also control the minds of others to a certain extent.

The lower the level and the lower the spirit, the easier the control.

"should be no problem."

Jiang Shixue looked at the old man through the window, her eyes glowing red.

The old man was suddenly startled, and his eyes instantly became dull.

But Jiang Shixue looked a little surprised.

“His spirit is so strong! I can only control it for a few seconds...”

"enough!"

Wang Tao immediately got out of the car, quickly ran behind the old man, and took his shotgun into his hands.

“And a pistol?”

Wang Tao saw that there was a revolver in his waist, so he put away his pistol as well.

At this time, the old man woke up from the process of being controlled.

His eyes were a little uncertain. Did he suddenly feel like he was drinking a glass of wine just now? !

Um?

Where is my gun!

At this moment he realized that the shotgun in his hand was gone!

唰!

The old man immediately turned around and saw a tall figure holding a shotgun standing behind him.

Without thinking, he immediately put his hand on his lower back and touched it - the pistol was gone!

“Old man, are you looking for this?”

Another black revolver appeared in Wang Tao's hand, which was exactly the one he had on him.

The old man was surprised when he saw Wang Tao's weird "teleport" ability and his ability to take away his gun, but he was not afraid.

"who are you!"

The old man glared angrily.

“Just an ordinary survivor. Look, I said I had no ill intentions, otherwise you would have been dead.”

As he said that, Wang Tao threw both guns to him again.

Seeing Wang Tao's actions, the old man was suddenly a little surprised. Unexpectedly, he gave the gun back to him. This immediately made the old man look at Wang Tao. But the moment he received the gun, he knew that he was overthinking it—the bullets in the gun were unloaded!

Although he can reload, he obviously has no chance given the opponent's ability to teleport away.

“Hello, my name is Wang Tao.”

Wang Tao stretched out his hand.

When the old man saw this, he put the shotgun on his back and stuck the pistol behind his waist.

He did not shake hands with Wang Tao, but said very coldly:

“He Jijun.”

"He Jijun..." Wang Tao muttered in his mind. He had never heard of this name, but it didn't stop him from praising him.

“Carry on the past and open up the future, bravely win the three armies! What a good name!”

Wang Tao can tell from He Jijun's marksmanship, stance, energy, and the old military uniform on his body that he has most likely been a soldier before.

So if I just praise him in this regard, He Jijun should be more useful.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Tao said these words, the cold look on He Jijun's face became less cold.

“Sir, can you get in the car and talk to me? I have only been in Wuyang City for a few days and I don’t know much about the situation here. I would like to communicate with you.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

…”

He Jijun was obviously not very willing.

The main reason is that Wang Tao's ability is very strange, and he doesn't know Wang Tao's origin. He has seen too much ugliness in human nature along the way.

But Wang Tao’s message seemed like an invitation, but in fact it also meant a bit of a threat...

“Oh, by the way, I have a lot of wine in the car. I don’t drink, and none of us drink. If the old man likes, I can have a few drinks with you.”

He Jijun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the wine. He gritted his teeth.

"OK!"

Since Wang Tao invited him so sincerely, it would be inappropriate for him to refuse again.

“The old man is alone? Do you have a car?”

Wang Tao asked when getting in the car.

“A person without a car.”

He Jijun shook his head.

“It’s already dark, let’s go find a place to rest. What do you think, sir?”

“At will.”

Since he was already in the car, He Jijun didn't hesitate anymore.

Just when he was looking for the sound of gunfire, Wang Tao found a suitable place to rest, and he could go there now.

This is a private house on the roadside with a large garage that can park several cars. Although the outside of the house is covered with wall-creepers, the inside is relatively clean and free of zombies.

After parking the car, Wang Tao got out of the car with a bottle of wine.

When he contacted the airdrop pilot, Colonel Luo Guozhong, he said that he would treat him to a drink when they met. Wang Tao is a man of his word. Since he said this, he will naturally prepare the wine.

These wines are white wines that Lan Yulian helped prepare. There are several bottles. Now take out one bottle and the rest will be enough.

Seeing this bottle of wine, He Jijun's eyes lit up after he had kept a cold face the whole time. Wang Tao doesn’t drink, so he doesn’t understand wine either.

However, Lan Yulian said that these wines were quite expensive before, so they are definitely not bad after thinking about it.

Xu Xiaojun cleared the table in the room, and Wang Tao put wine and some food on it. Then He Jijun was invited to take a seat.

“Sir, please sit down.”

He Jijun snorted coldly and sat down carelessly.

He was forced to get into Wang Tao's car.

After all, in that case, if he refused, he was not sure what Wang Tao would do to him, so he could only get in the car. When he was in the car, his expression was very cold.

Wang Tao doesn’t mind this either. He took the initiative to pour wine for He Jijun and then raised his glass.

Seeing that Wang Tao was so polite, He Jijun couldn't keep his face any longer. He picked up the cup and touched it with Wang Tao. Then he smelled the aroma of the wine in the glass, looked intoxicated, and drank it all in one gulp.

“Good wine!”

He Jijun subconsciously sighed in admiration.

He had not drank for a long time, but now that he suddenly drank this good wine, his face became much lighter.

Wang Tao took the opportunity to ask:

“The old man is from Wuyang City?”

As the saying goes, He Jijun no longer has a "cold war". He shook his head.

“No. I came from Chunhua Province.”

ifies

As soon as he said these words, Wang Tao and others took a deep breath.

Between Chunhua Province and Wuyang Province, there is Cangsong Province! It’s so far away from here!

"ox!"

Wang Tao gave a thumbs up.

If He Jijun was a superpower, Wang Tao wouldn't be so surprised, but he is an ordinary person. Even if he has 1,000 health, he is still an ordinary person. How can it not be surprising that an ordinary person has traveled such a long distance!

Feeling the shock of Wang Tao and others, He Jijun was not very proud. Only he himself knows the difficulties along the way, which is nothing to praise.

“Then what’s your purpose of coming here, old man?”

Wang Tao asked again.

"Find someone."

…”

Yang Changhong was deeply moved by this reason, and she said:

“I’m also looking for someone. I’m looking for my sister. I heard that she has come to Wuyang City. I don’t know if she is alive or dead..."

He Jijun glanced at her.

“I hope you can find your sister.”

“Thank you! You too, I hope you can find the person you are looking for.”

Yang Changhong replied politely.

But after hearing this, He Jijun's face suddenly looked a little sad, but he didn't say much.

So Wang Tao asked again:

“I’m curious, how did the old man come to Wuyang City? There was a team before? Was the team disbanded?”

"No, I'm always alone. But sometimes I walk in the wild, and there are few zombies in the wild."

“No wonder…”

Wang Tao suddenly realized.

If He Jijun doesn't go to big cities, or doesn't enter cities, and goes to the wilds. Then if you get lucky and don't encounter monsters, you can theoretically get here alive.

But this is only in theory, in practice it is much more difficult. After all, he is an ordinary person. If nothing else, eating and sleeping are a big problem...

“By the way, how old is the old man this year?”

“Sixty-six.”

…”

Even though they already knew that He Jijun was not young, everyone was still shocked when they heard that he was sixty-six years old.

Wang Tao continued to ask:

“Have you ever been a soldier before?”

“Been a major soldier for several years.”

When he said this, He Jijun looked a little proud.

Obviously he should be very satisfied with his military career.

“I think the old man’s marksmanship is very good!”

Wang Tao's words were nonsense, because He Jijun fired one shot, and it hit the ground. There was no sign of any marksmanship. But when it comes to carrying people in a sedan chair, it’s always good to say something nice, especially for the elderly.

"generally."

He Jijun didn’t say anything more specific.

“Have you ever seen a person with supernatural powers, sir?”

Wang Tao is a little curious, has He Jijun never seen a person with superpowers? Otherwise, if you have seen a person with superpowers, you will definitely know that you can obtain superpowers by fusing crystal cores. Then he should not be an ordinary person, at least there must be some impurities in his body. And there are no impurities on his body, which means that he has not fused a single crystal core.

“Someone like you?” He Jijun glanced at Wang Tao and said, “I’ve seen him before. Not only have I seen him, I’ve also killed him!”

When He said this, He Jijun was filled with murderous intent.

Wang Tao briefly learned that He Jijun encountered three people with supernatural powers who were robbing them, but he killed them all with a few shots!

"ox!"

Wang Tao gave a thumbs up again.

"But they are not as strong as you. I don't even know how you got behind me now..."

He Jijun was a little confused. He felt that his eyesight was very good. Even though he was older, he could still pierce the enemy with a hundred steps, but he didn't see clearly how Wang Tao came behind him!

Seeing the confusion in He Jijun's eyes, Wang Tao smiled secretly.

This is not about how fast he is, but that Jiang Shixue controlled He Jijun for a few seconds, causing He Jijun to lose those few seconds of memory...

“Then old man, you don’t want to become a person with superpowers?”

Wang Tao asked a little strangely.

“Superpowers? In my opinion, those are monsters! I don’t want to be that kind of monster! Even if I’m not a superpower, I can still kill zombies!”

He Jijun seemed a little disdainful in his words.

“Monster?”

To a certain extent, there is a big difference between superpowers and ordinary humans. There is nothing wrong with calling them monsters. Especially those with superpowers who fuse crystal nuclei with obvious side effects, such as those whose bodies become lumbered, stiff, and whose arms turn into bone knives. This is indeed no different from monsters.

But Wang Tao still shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter whether we are monsters or not. After all, our goal is to live. If we can survive, what does it matter if we become monsters? As long as we have strong power, we can not only protect ourselves, but also those around us. of people…”

…”

He Jijun did not refute Wang Tao's words. He knows that people with superpowers are powerful. He is actually not a stubborn person, but—

After a moment of silence, He Jijun took out a bag from his pocket and placed it in front of Wang Tao.

There were some very clear and pleasant collision sounds coming from the bag.

He Jijun opened the bag and found a bunch of shiny crystal nuclei inside.

"Boy, do you know what abilities these things have? I heard that you have to eat this thing to become a superpower. But every superpower is different, and it may not be suitable for you, and every superpower has Side effects... If you can understand it, you can pick a suitable one for me, and I’ll give the rest to you!”

He Jijun could feel that Wang Tao and his group were very strong.

Even the little girl who has been following Wang Tao and looks weak is still very strong!

He does not have the ability to sense, but this is the sense of smell for someone like him who has been on the battlefield and seen blood!

Coupled with the brief contact just now, although he has been keeping a cold face, he can also feel that Wang Tao's character should be quite good.

So he felt that this might be an opportunity - the reason why he did not fuse the crystal core was not because he was afraid that he would become a monster, but because he was afraid that he would become a useless monster.

He had seen a person with superpowers before. He had become a fat pig and was useless except for eating. He doesn't want to become such a person!

Wang Tao was immediately confused after seeing the crystal core in He Jijun's hand.

These crystal nuclei are not only first-order, but also second-order, and even a third-order one!

Good guy, an ordinary person with 1,000 health points can kill a level 3 zombie?

What surprised Wang Tao was not only the levels of these crystal nuclei, but also the crystal nuclei themselves - He Jijun had so many crystal nuclei on his body, how could he resist not fusion?

The temptation of crystal nuclei to human beings is very terrifying. Many people fuse in confusion after seeing the crystal nuclei.

Even Wang Tao, who had always thought his willpower was pretty good, had some uncontrollable fusion the first time he fused the shock wave crystal core. By the time he reacted, the crystal core had already been fused into his body.

And this He Jijun, carrying so many crystal nuclei with him, didn't even fuse them!

This willpower is so strong!

This reminded Wang Tao of someone, his former companion at Shuize Base, the young security officer Lu Gang. He is this kind of person with very strong willpower. Wei Zhenguo and others gave Lu Gang safekeeping when they got the crystal core...

“The old man can actually resist not fusing the crystal core, that’s amazing!”

Wang Tao gave a thumbs up again.

Those who can restrain their desires are worthy of admiration.

He Jijun glanced at Wang Tao and said, "This is not a difficult matter. It will be over with a little patience. Is it difficult?"

Wang Tao looked at the crystal nuclei, then pointed at the only third-order crystal nucleus among them and asked:

“Sir, how did you get this crystal core?”

“This crystal core!”

The third-order crystal core is different from the first- and second-order ones, and He Jijun can obviously recognize it. His tone was somewhat emotional.

"That zombie was injured for some reason, but it still took me seven days to kill it. It is the strongest zombie I have ever encountered..."
