Chapter 247 Military Base

no side effects?

He Jijun knew that crystal nuclei had side effects, and he had personally seen many superpowers with side effects. But he had never heard of a superpower without side effects.

But looking at Wang Tao and others like this...it seems that there are really no side effects, at least he didn't notice it.

“Is it really possible to have no side effects?”

He Jijun asked with some disbelief.

Wang Tao immediately said:

“Of course, I can still lie to you. The crystal nuclei we fuse are all crystal nuclei without impurities and side effects—do you know what impurities are?”

"have no idea…"

He Jijun shook his head.

"If there are impurities inside the crystal nucleus, after fusion, the impurities will accumulate in the body. There are limits to the impurities that can be fused in the human body. The more impurities there are, the more likely it is to become a zombie! When the impurities reach 100%, basically It will 100% turn into a zombie, so impurities are also a very bad thing like side effects..."

Wang Tao gave He Jijun some knowledge about impurities.

…”

After hearing this, He Jijun suddenly felt that becoming a person with supernatural powers would not be so good. Not only does it have side effects, but you also have to worry about turning into a zombie!

“But, I can help you be promoted to a superpower with no side effects or impurities! What do you think, old man?”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“What do you want me to do by asking me to join your team? I said, I have my own things to do, and I still need to find someone..."

He Jijun did not answer, but frowned.

If it can really have no side effects and no impurities, as Wang Tao said, then it must be good. But he was not willing to sell himself out just for this.

Hearing He Jijun’s question, Wang Tao explained with a serious face:

"Old man, you misunderstood! When I said I wanted you to join my team, I didn't mean to ask you to help me work. We are all survivors struggling to survive in the apocalypse, and we need to help each other. I think you are strong, old man, and you can help Come to me, I can help you too...it's that simple."

"As for you saying you are looking for someone... Changhong is also looking for someone. This does not conflict with her joining my team. We can look for it together! By the way, who is the person you are looking for? What are his characteristics? If you don't mind If you can say it, it will be easier to find it if there are more of us!”

…”

He Jijun was silent for a moment, and then slowly said:

“I’m looking for my granddaughter.”

“Your granddaughter? How old is she?”

"10 years old."

…”

Wang Tao opened his mouth.

Ten years old? If you get lost at this age, you will basically be cold! Wang Tao asked again:

“When did you get lost?”

“Five months ago.”

…”

It is mid-October now. Five months ago it was May, that is, one month after the end of the world. It was the most chaotic time...

Of course, it is not completely impossible to survive. For example, meeting kind-hearted people or the military...

“Then how did she get lost?”

“She ran away on her own.”

"Ah? You ran away? What's the reason? You didn't stop me with your skills?"

Wang Tao asked with a frown.

“She... turned into a zombie.”

…”

When Yang Changhong in the car heard this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at He Jijun.

Becoming a zombie is completely hopeless.

Jiang Shixue subconsciously grabbed Wang Tao's hand. Wang Tao told her that she had turned into a zombie before, but was rescued by Wang Tao.

However, Wang Tao also said that the drug that could save her is very rare. Only one bottle has appeared so far, and the conditions are very strict. It will not be effective if used by people who have been infected for more than three days. Even if it is used on a person who has been infected within three days, there is only a certain probability that it can be saved, and there is a possibility of self-immolation and death...

Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue's hand with his backhand, and then looked at He Jijun.

"Old man, with all due respect, your situation... is very difficult."

Unless He Jijun's granddaughter was caught by a kind person after she escaped, and this kind person happened to have something similar to a purification potion in his hand, and used it on his granddaughter, and it was successful, and then this kind person took his granddaughter in the apocalypse. Struggling to survive and persisting until now...

It is difficult to achieve any of these conditions. If many conditions are combined, it is basically impossible. Even Wang Tao feels that the probability of him discovering the antidote to the zombie virus is greater than this series of coincidences...

"I know..." He Jijun sighed, and then said firmly, "But when she turned into a zombie and fled, I said that I would definitely find her and take her home!"

In the apocalypse, some people live just to live, such as Wang Tao. He is very pure, he simply does not want to die and is afraid of death.

There are also people who live for obsession, such as Huang Mao Wu Fei who wants revenge; such as Li Qiuyu who wants to see his daughter; such as Yang Changhong who wants to find his sister; and the person in front of him who wants to take his granddaughter home. He Jijun…

He Jijun also knew in his heart that his granddaughter was basically gone. But even if he died, he would have to see his granddaughter's body with his own eyes before he could give up. To put it another way, as long as he didn't find her body for a day, her granddaughter might still be alive!

This may be the light of hope for He Jijun’s survival in the last days.

“Old man, your granddaughter... has not seen the body, but there is still a possibility of survival. Join us, and we will search together. Even if we may not find it in our lifetime, I promise to help you find it!”

Wang Tao spoke seriously.

He Jijun is the legendary military king and he is very capable. Wang Tao felt that this kind of talent should give full play to his role, and by being with him, He Jijun could give full play to his role!

However, Wang Tao has also decided that even if He Jijun does not agree, he is willing to help He Jijun become a superpower free of charge.

He Jijun has very strong abilities and has great potential after becoming a superpower. He is also a person who has dedicated himself to the country and the people. Such a person should live!

"Alas..." He Jijun sighed, and then looked at Wang Tao, "Okay. I promise to join you..."

Actually, He Jijun was a little confused.

It’s not about being confused about whether he can find his granddaughter—he will insist on looking for her whether he can find her or not.

His confusion is about how far he can go.

He Jijun has seen powerful zombies and knows that the strength of zombies is constantly improving, but he is standing still - no, he will get older and weaker, and he will eventually die at the hands of zombies.

Now, he met Wang Tao, who promised to make him stronger without side effects or impurities. Perhaps, this is the solution for him to continue on...

“Old man, welcome to join us!”

Hearing He Jijun’s agreement, Wang Tao immediately stretched out his hand.

He Jijun reached out and shook his hand, then gave a wry smile:

"Since we are one of our own, there is no need to be so polite to me. Besides, those who are masters are teachers, and we are friends on the same level. You can call me Lao He, or Lao He..."

“Haha, okay! It’s just a title, don’t worry about it. Just call me Xiao Wang from now on!”

After He Jijun decided to join Wang Tao's team, the two sides felt much closer, and there was no longer the vague defensiveness before.

Then Wang Tao smiled and asked:

“Lao He, what kind of superpower do you want?”

“Can I still choose?”

“I still have a lot of crystal cores in my hand, plus the crystal cores in your hand, it’s enough for you to choose from. Oh, by the way, you may not know what powers there are, let me introduce them to you first…”

Wang Tao introduced all the first-order crystal nuclei he had seen so far and had in his hands.

After He Jijun heard about so many types of crystal nuclei, he felt that they were all awesome and wanted all of them... But after all, he was also a person with self-control. He quickly woke up and chose from the powers Wang Tao mentioned. one.

“I want to shoot accurately! I think my marksmanship is pretty good, but I can also feel that my marksmanship can be improved. I want to see what I can achieve if my marksmanship is coupled with accurate shooting!”

Wang Tao was not surprised by He Jijun’s choice.

He directly took out a first-level epic quality precision shooting crystal core from his hand. After handing the crystal core to He Jijun, Wang Tao explained:

"Then Lao He, you can fuse it now. But a person can not only fuse one kind of crystal core, but can fuse up to four kinds. In other words, he can get up to four powers! But everyone's physique is different , the number that can be fused is different. You have to try it first to know how much it can be fused..."

“Can fuse up to four types!”

He Jijun was a little surprised.

If he can have four abilities, that will definitely be the best result. However, his psychological expectations are very low, as long as he can integrate one kind of superpower. After all, this is a superpower with no side effects and no impurities!

He Jijun took the crystal core and swallowed it directly into his mouth without hesitation.

In an instant, the crystal core seemed to have vaporized and merged into his limbs.

He Jijun closed his eyes. He felt that his body was a little warm and comfortable.

Then he opened his eyes and looked at Wang Tao.     "Is this good?"

"Congratulations! Lao He, you are now also a superpower! You can try your superpowers."

After becoming a person with superpowers, the basic usage of his own superpowers will naturally appear in his mind, so there is no need to explain, he will know it by himself.

"Let me try…"

He Jijun silently activated the precision shooting ability.

In an instant, he felt that the whole world was different!

He saw a lot of details that he couldn't see before. His eyes can even be used as telescopes!

And it feels like this precise shooting can not only be used in long-range attacks, but also in melee combat!

“This is the superpower!”

He Jijun was a little excited. He looked at his eyes again. Both eyes were fine. And the side effect of this precise shot was blindness in one eye! In other words, this is indeed a power with no side effects!

After experiencing the supernatural power for a while, He Jijun felt a little tired. He knew that this was the reason for the excessive energy consumption mentioned by Wang Tao. He quickly turned off the ability, and then said to Wang Tao with great gratitude:

“Thank you!”

“Don’t thank me in a hurry, just feel it quickly, can you continue to fuse the crystal core?”

Wang Tao naturally hopes that He Jijun can fuse a variety of crystal nuclei. But he had no control over this matter, it only depended on luck.

"Let me see…"

He Jijun closed his eyes, felt it carefully, and then his face looked a little happy.

“I feel like I can fuse another kind of crystal nucleus!”

“Very good! Then Lao He, just choose another one!”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

If you can fuse one kind of crystal core, you will not lose money; if you can fuse two types, you will gain blood.

“Let me think about it...I choose to charge!”

He Jijun's marksmanship is good, but this does not mean that his melee combat is weak.

He was once the king of soldiers in the army. He was an all-round talent with basically no shortcomings. His melee combat is naturally not weak.

Charge, which allows for close combat, movement, and running, is still very suitable for him.

"OK."

Wang Tao nodded.

Speaking of which, former soldiers such as Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin also liked the ability to charge.

Wang Tao gave He Jijun another level 1 epic charge core.

He Jijun put it directly into his mouth.

After a moment, the charge was also integrated.

However, we are in the car now, so there is no way to test the charge ability for the time being.

There was no need for Wang Tao to speak this time. He Jijun immediately said:

“I feel like I can fuse two more crystal nuclei!”

Hearing this, Wang Tao laughed happily.

“Haha, it seems that you, Lao He, are very lucky. You can fuse four kinds of abilities! Tell me, what do you want to fuse the remaining two abilities?”

“I have to think about it…”

He Jijun was very excited. He did not expect that he could combine four powers.

Previously, he planned it based on fusing one ability, so he had to think about it again.

After discussing with Wang Tao, he chose athlete as his third ability.

Athlete is a passive ability, which is actually quite suitable for survival in the end of the world. It can be simply understood as turning an ordinary person into a parkour master!

For someone like He Jijun, whose athletic ability is not weak to begin with, the improvement brought by this ability is even greater!

Soon, He Jijun completed the fusion of the athlete's crystal core.

“I feel like my body is much lighter...”

He Jijun clenched his fists. He had the urge to run out and have fun, but unfortunately he couldn't test it now...

“The next step is the last crystal core…”

When Jiang Shixue tried to control He Jijun before, she reminded Wang Tao that He Jijun had a strong mental power.

Wang Tao feels that people with strong mental strength are very suitable for integrating spiritual cores. But it is a pity that the spiritual core in his hand does not have the first level, and the lowest level is the second level.

So we can only let He Jijun fuse other crystal nuclei first. Anyway, he still has a lot of second-level peeling crystal cores in his hand. When He Jijun reaches the second level, he can peel off He Jijun's crystal cores and then replace them with spiritual cores.

In the end, the two people discussed and decided to fuse He Jijun with a running crystal core for a transition.

Whether it is attacking or defending, there is always something wrong with running faster.

Soon, He Jijun’s fourth crystal core was also fused.

Since then, He Jijun has jumped from an "ordinary person" to a superpower with four superpowers!

But this is not the end, he is now just an ordinary first-level superpower user, all superpowers are still +1, and his strength is too weak. Wang Tao gave him another handful of crystal cores and asked him to increase his ability to +10.

Before Wang Tao left Zijing City, he left many low-level crystal nuclei to Lan Yulian. But along the way, he encountered many zombies, so he obtained many more crystal nuclei. In addition, He Jijun had saved a lot of crystal cores himself, which was just enough.

The fusion process was quite fast. It didn't take long for He Jijun to fuse all these crystal nuclei. His four abilities are also +10!

The next step is to let him fuse the second-level promotion core and advance to the second level.

However, sleeping is required to advance to the second level. A person like him who has fused four kinds of crystal nuclei needs 24 hours. In the current situation, it is obvious that there is no way to provide He Jijun with time to sleep, so He Jijun cannot be promoted now.

Wang Tao only gave him three promotion cores.

If four promotion cores are fused, he must choose to be promoted within three days. If he does not choose, he will be automatically promoted after three days. But if you don't fuse enough four promotion crystal cores, then there is no such restriction.

He Jijun was lucky. After the fusion of these three promotion crystal cores, the three main abilities of precision shooting, athleticism and charge were promoted to the second level.

“I can’t wait to try my strength now!”

He Jijun felt a little excited.

“Haha, don’t be anxious. Lao He, you will have many opportunities in the future. But not now, because if you kill zombies after becoming a superpower, your strength will be improved, and once your strength is improved, you may fall asleep..."

At the first level, every time the blood volume reaches a thousand, you will take a nap, and your physical fitness will increase after waking up. But now everyone is not safe, even if he just sleeps for a few hours, it is very dangerous.

“I understand, let’s wait until we get to the military base!”

He Jijun took a deep breath and held back his excitement.

The fastest way to this military base is through the city. But the urban area is too dangerous, and the huge zombie is still vivid in my mind.

He Jijun had never seen the zombie, but he also knew that the urban area was dangerous, so he led Wang Tao to another route.

 Along the way, Wang Tao encountered zombies several times. However, there were no powerful zombies, and they were all easily dealt with by Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan.

At noon, He Jijun suddenly said:

“We’re within the range of the military base!”

"Um?"

Wang Tao did not see any relevant buildings, and He Jijun continued to direct them.

At a certain moment, Wang Tao saw a high barbed wire fence not far ahead, with a sign on it saying: "Strong military area, no one allowed to enter."

The military base has arrived!

But outside the high wall, there are a lot of zombies! There are first-level, second-level and even third-level zombies!

“So many zombies…”

Wang Tao quickly stopped the car.

It was raining heavily now, and the zombies did not notice Wang Tao's car. If it hadn't rained, we might have found it. After all, there are always some with keen senses among so many zombies.

“Lao He, how do we get in?”

Wang Tao looked at He Jijun.

"Turning in? No, no, no! This base will definitely activate its automated defense facilities in a state of emergency. I don't know if they are still running. But if they are still running, we will be beaten into pieces if we tumble in! Gotta go through the gate!”
