Chapter 254: Restoring memory
Jiang Shixue woke up earlier than Wang Tao expected.
As soon as Wang Tao woke up, he saw Jiang Shixue lying next to him with her eyes opened. She was looking at the ceiling in a daze.
“Huh? Are you awake? How do you feel?”
Wang Rub was a little surprised.
Because Jiang Shixue's attributes were different from what he expected.
【HP: 30000/30000】
【Blue amount: 60000/60000】
【Level: Level 3·Lord】
【Impurities in the body: 50%】
【Hidden attributes: Eye of Contract, Dark Claw】
Jiang Shixue's blood volume has reached 30,000, and her mana volume has doubled to 60,000. But the most important thing is that the impurities in her body have been reduced by half!
Zombie advancement will not reduce the impurities in the body.
Doesn't this mean that although Jiang Shixue's physique is very close to that of a zombie, it is still very different from a zombie. She is more like a human!
This is a great thing!
Wang Tao was worried before that Jiang Shixue’s physique might carry zombie viruses or something.
Looking at it now, it probably won’t happen. After all, 50% of the impurities in the body are not much different from those of many superpowers.
After hearing Wang Tao's words, Jiang Shixue turned to look at Wang Tao, and then suddenly hugged Wang Tao.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Tao rubbed Jiang Shixue's head in a strange way.
“I...I seem to have had a dream...”
Jiang Shixue buried her head in Wang Tao's arms and spoke hummingly.
"Dream?" Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said with joy, "Have you recovered your memory?"
"Um…"
Jiang Shixue hummed slightly.
Wang Tao quickly let go of Jiang Shixue and looked at her seriously.
At this time, Jiang Shixue did not change much from before, except that... her face was very red.
Jiang Shixue has never blushed before.
“Haha, that’s great!”
Wang Tao rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair happily, and Jiang Shixue's face turned redder.
Wang Tao realized at this time that he had always regarded Jiang Shixue as a child before, and Jiang Shixue also liked to stay with him, so the two were relatively close.
Now that Jiang Shixue has recovered her memory, it may not be appropriate for Wang Tao to be so close to her from a girl's family.
Wang Tao immediately retracted his hand.
“Ahem, that…”
Before Wang Tao could speak, Jiang Shixue suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Tao's hand. Her face was still a little red, but her expression was serious.
“I, I remember everything. Thank you...brother!”
Wang Tao was very happy to see that Jiang Shixue was no stranger to him after she recovered her memory.
“We are all our own people, you’re welcome!”
At this time, Jiang Shixue said with some anxiety:
“My mom, is she okay...”
“She should be fine…”
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue sat on the edge of the bed together and chatted about past events.
"before me…"
After Jiang Shixue’s explanation, Wang Tao roughly understood her previous situation.
When the doomsday came, Jiang Shixue was participating in a folk gathering activity organized by the school on Shuize Mountain. Shuizeshan is naturally not immune to the virus outbreak.
Fortunately, there were police there, and the police took them to escape. Escaped the first wave of crisis.
At that time, she called her mother and said she would go back to find her mother. After all, there were police officers around her at the time, so she thought she would be able to avoid the crisis.
But they only escaped the first wave of crises, and many more crises appeared later... Their team eventually got separated.
Jiang Shixue's character is relatively brave. She had picked up the heads of some zombies before and was stronger than others, so she managed to survive for a while.
But then the zombies became more and more numerous and stronger, and she narrowly escaped death. I managed to avoid a lot of zombies, but I came to a dead end and was surrounded by zombies.
Although she was temporarily safe from being eaten by zombies, she had no food in her hand. Her next outcome would be to be eaten by zombies or starve to death.
Jiang Shixue was unwilling to give in, so she rummaged carefully in her hiding place.
Then she found some food and something that looked a lot like food—she couldn't remember exactly what it was. Because after she ate this thing, her consciousness became hazy, and her body exuded the same aura as a zombie. Then... the zombies stopped biting her!
The memory of the period after that is very vague. She only remembered that she wanted to go back to find her mother...
She remembered what happened after that relatively clearly, because she came to Shuize Base, saw her mother, and met Wang Tao, but she was very angry at Wang Tao.
Jiang Shixue said bluntly that when Wang Tao threatened her with her mother, she wanted to kill Wang Tao. At that time, she didn't have much thinking ability, was very manic, and only had a little bit of sanity, otherwise she might really be with Wang Tao. Fight.
When she fought the black fog monster later, although she did not fall into the illusion, she was still affected, but it was a positive influence—it made her a little calmer.
After calming down, she knew that she was hopeless and would turn into a zombie sooner or later. And only Wang Tao could save her mother, so in the end she let Wang Tao go first and she would take the lead.
But she did not die in the end, but was saved by Wang Tao.
The memory after being rescued by Wang Tao was very clear, including the fact that she called Wang Tao daddy as soon as she woke up. After being corrected by Wang Tao, she kept chasing after Wang Tao and calling her brother. She even looked at Wang Tao and Lan Yulian...
Recalling these things, Jiang Shixue wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
But it was these clear memories that told her that Wang Tao had always been very kind to her!
What touched her most was that after she lost her memory, Wang Tao never lied to her!
For example, Wang Tao told her all about her family situation, her mother, and some things that happened before.
She is somewhat confident about her appearance. If someone had picked up her amnesia, they would most likely have tricked her in various ways - she had already encountered this kind of thing when she was running for her life on Shuize Mountain, but luckily she saw through it.
But Wang Tao did not lie to her. So she was willing to call Wang Tao brother.
Just recalling that she liked holding Wang Tao's hand and getting into Wang Tao's bed to sleep together at night, Jiang Shixue felt shy. She doesn't understand why she is so clingy...
Wang Tao got an important message from her words.
“You mean you didn’t fuse the crystal core?”
"No…"
Jiang Shixue shook her head.
"In other words, the thing you accidentally ate before gave you a lot of strength, allowing you to improve your level - your hidden ability should also be obtained in this way. But the price is that you have 100% Impurities in the body will soon turn into zombies..."
Wang Tao analyzed.
Sounds a bit magical. It turns out that strength can be improved without relying on crystal cores! However, there are many strange things appearing in the apocalypse, so there is no need to make a fuss. And the side effects of this thing are too great, much more than the crystal core!
Of course, that’s what he said, but Wang Tao was still very curious about what Jiang Shixue ate. It feels a bit like items such as night vision eyes and magical seeds, but it is stronger than both eyes and seeds.
He wanted to pay more attention when he looked back to see if there was anything similar.
Furthermore, is Lightning’s promotion related to this thing?
Wang Tao also told Jiang Shixue about her mother Li Qiuyu. Wang Tao had spent a lot of time with Li Qiuyu before, and Wang Tao had a good impression of this woman.
Seeing that Jiang Shixue was still a little worried, Wang Tao patted her on the shoulder and said:
“Don’t worry, your mother and everyone else will be fine.”
"Um!"
Jiang Shixue nodded heavily.
“By the way, then try again to see if you can fuse the crystal core!”
Wang Tao took out several orange third-order crystal nuclei.
Jiang Shixue tried it, but still couldn't fuse.
Wang Tao suddenly felt helpless.
Jiang Shixue is so strong without ever fusing the crystal core. If she can fuse the crystal core, she will definitely be stronger. Pity.
“But it doesn’t matter, it’s great if you can recover your memory!”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Jiang Shixue's strength is not weak. Now that she has reached the third level, her strength will be stronger. Even if she cannot fuse the crystal core, it will not matter.
Furthermore, Jiang Shixue also has two hidden abilities and very strong physical fitness. It is estimated that most people with special abilities cannot compare with her.
“How about we go outside and test how much your strength has improved?”
Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue and said.
"good!"
The two of them took a quick shower and then went out with Lightning.
As soon as she came out, Jiang Shixue subconsciously put her hand in Wang Tao's, and then she quickly took it back as if she was electrocuted. After seeing this, Wang Tao took the initiative to hold Jiang Shixue's little hand.
After all, these white, tender, soft little hands are very comfortable to hold.
…”
Jiang Shixue followed Wang Tao with a red face.
It's still raining outside, but the military base has an indoor training venue.
After some experiments, Wang Tao felt that Jiang Shixue's strength had improved greatly. It was difficult to say the specific combat effectiveness. This would only be known in actual combat. But the physical fitness has improved at least two or three times!
And it’s not just an improvement in strength, but more importantly, Jiang Shixue has become smarter and more flexible after recovering her memory. After all, she was still a bit dull in the past.
“Next, you can hunt some more zombies and increase your strength. Then we will be more confident in hunting the fourth-level zombies!”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"good!"
Jiang Shixue nodded.
He Jijun has not yet woken up after being promoted to the third level. Yang Changhong and the others are recharging their energy. Wang Tao is preparing to take Jiang Shixue alone to hunt these zombies. But seeing Ling Ling looking like he wanted to go, Wang Tao took Ling Ling with him.
Two people and one dog left the military base.
The zombies around the military base had been cleared away, so Wang Tao walked towards the city.
Not long after leaving the military base, I encountered a lot of zombies, including several third-level elite zombies.
Jiang Shixue easily eliminated all these zombies without Wang Tao's intervention.
Watching Jiang Shixue's health bar rising rapidly, Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Shixue's combat power is still strong. Even the third-level elite zombies can't touch her. It is estimated that only the third-level lord zombies can pose some threat to her.
Two people and one dog fought their way from the military base to the vicinity of the city.
“The city is ahead…”
Wang Tao stopped and did not move forward.
Although he didn't see the giant zombie, he didn't plan to enter the city now. After all, he didn't bring everyone with him yet.
“There are so many zombies inside…”
Jiang Shixue frowned.
Everything visible to the naked eye on the streets and in the buildings are zombies!
Wang Tao took a general look and found no fourth-level zombies, but he saw many third-level elite zombies.
“The overall strength of zombies in Wuyang City is much higher than that in other places. Even if there are no fourth-level zombies, just these third-level zombies and below are a headache. It is estimated that there are really no living people inside..."
Wang Tao shook his head.
I heard before that there were no survivors in Wuyang City, which seemed a bit exaggerated. But now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all...
Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue and Lightning around and killed many zombies.
Looking at so many zombies in the city, Wang Tao wanted to lure some of these zombies out, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
He doesn't know the specific strength of these zombies. If the zombies' senses are too sharp and attract a group of zombies, it will be troublesome. After all, there are too many zombies in the city...
Killing until there were no zombies left nearby, Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue and Lightning back. It was already dark at this time, but they all had night vision, so it wouldn't be a problem.
"Um?"
When he returned to the military base, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
He found a third-level lord zombie wandering outside the base wearing a shabby military uniform and holding a pistol in his hand!
Behind it, there were many third-level elite zombies wearing shabby military uniforms and holding rifles in their hands!
【HP: 80000/80000】
【Mana amount: 50000/50000】
【Level: Level 3·Lord】
This is a third-level lord zombie that should not be weak, but for Wang Tao, there is naturally no problem.
But after seeing these zombies holding guns in their hands, Wang Tao was a little afraid.
It is not only the power of the gun that is an issue, but also the noise issue. If so many zombies shoot at the same time, the sound can travel far even if it is covered by heavy rain.
Of course, the premise is that the guns in the hands of these zombies can still be used.
Wang Tao used the walkie-talkie to contact Yang Changhong and others.
“A group of uniformed zombies are coming outside the base. There are third-level lords. Don’t come out...”
They all have no night vision, so they are at a disadvantage in this environment.
"receive!"
At this time, He Jijun happened to wake up and was successfully promoted to the third level.
Wang Tao congratulated, and then he asked several people to prepare for the possible attack of zombies.
He took Jiang Shixue and Lightning and quietly walked around behind the group of zombies.
“I guess their guns can’t be used anymore…”
After getting closer, Wang Tao saw clearly that the weapons in the hands of these zombies were mostly rusty. In this case, even if there are bullets, they are probably useless.
This is good news, so Wang Tao is ready to take action directly. However, you can’t take it lightly, you have to test it first. After all, Wang Tao doesn't want to be shot.
Wang Tao took out his crossbow and pulled the trigger on the third-level military uniform lord zombie.
咻—
A crossbow arrow hit the uniformed lord zombie in the back of the head impartially.
ˆ【-2242】
This damage is average to Wang Tao.
However, he successfully attracted the attention of this uniformed lord zombie.
It immediately turned around and looked at where Wang Tao was. But Wang Tao was already hiding. Wang Tao used his senses to observe. In addition, the distance was quite far and it was raining, so the zombies were not able to find Wang Tao's specific location.
Hence, the uniformed lord zombie turned its head and continued to wander at the gate of the military base.
It felt like it wanted to go in, but the door had been blocked again by Wang Tao, so it naturally couldn't get in.
咻—
Another arrow flew.
Hit the uniformed lord zombie accurately on the head.
"Roar-"
The military uniform lord zombie immediately turned around and roared angrily.
But it still saw nothing.
After a moment, the uniformed lord zombie continued to stare at the door.
"Huh?"
Wang Tao in the distance feels amazing, why don’t you come here? Does this zombie have some obsession?
It seems that these zombies are most likely members of this military base, and maybe coming back is their obsession...
But no matter what, they are zombies without self-awareness after all, and Wang Tao cannot keep them.
Wang Tao shot another arrow.
This arrow accurately hit the uniformed lord zombie again.
But this time, the uniformed zombie seems to be completely angry.
It immediately walked in the direction of Wang Tao and raised the rusty pistol in its hand.
boom!
There was a slight sound.
I saw an air wave that was almost invisible to the naked eye flying out of the rusty pistol barrel, and instantly landed on a big rock not far from Wang Tao.
Poof!
This big rock was directly penetrated!
“Damn it! You still have this kind of ability!”
Wang Tao is at least dozens of meters away from these zombies. How can he defeat them?
The guns in the hands of these zombies must indeed be broken, but they have a special ability similar to shooting! And the attack range is very far, at least a hundred meters away!
However, Wang Tao was not surprised but happy, he just needed these attack abilities!
“These zombies have long-range attack capabilities similar to shooting. The attack range is very far. Xiaoxue, be careful!”
Wang Tao reminded him, and then immediately covered himself with the entangled tree roots.
The zombie in military uniform held a pistol and walked towards Wang Tao step by step. The other elite zombies in military uniforms also followed it.
boom!
boom!
The uniformed lord zombie will raise his pistol from time to time and strike once. The elite boys behind it also have this ability! Pick up the gun and shoot in Wang Tao's direction.
Although their attack frequency is very slow, with so many zombies attacking at the same time, it feels like a hail of bullets.
Wang Tao did not take the initiative, he quietly waited for the opportunity.
When he saw these zombies about thirty meters away from him, Wang Tao immediately turned on the intercom and said to Yang Changhong and others:
“You make a little noise to attract it.”
On the other side, Yang Changhong and others who were still in the base understood, and they made some noise.
There was not much movement, but it instantly attracted the attention of these uniformed zombies, including the uniformed lord zombie. They immediately gave up looking for Wang Tao, the sneak attacker, and turned to the military base again.
But after they turned around, Wang Tao, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately grasped the bone knife and launched a charge at their backs!
