Chapter 264： Mutated equipment

Chapter 264 Mutated Equipment

“Are we safe?”

“It’s safe.”

Inside the helicopter. When Wang Tao said it was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although helicopters can fly into the sky, those giants are tens of meters tall and can throw stones, which is also very dangerous for helicopters.

If it weren't for He Jijun's good driving skills, he might have been knocked down by a giant zombie!

In order to avoid attracting the giant zombies to the base, He Jijun deliberately flew in other directions. Fortunately, the helicopter's fuel tank is large enough, otherwise it might not be able to fly for such a long time.

However, in the process of escaping from the city, Wang Tao always felt that he was being watched by something. He wasn't sure if it was a giant zombie, but that feeling was always there anyway.

So he did not dare to let down his guard and kept He Jijun flying.

Half an hour later, his feeling of being spied on finally disappeared.

For safety reasons, Wang Tao asked He Jijun to fly to the present. Wang Tao actually wanted to fly a little longer, but there was not enough fuel.

“Let’s go back and go another way.”

The helicopter circled again and flew back to the military base before running out of fuel.

Before landing, Wang Tao checked and determined that there was nothing wrong with the military base before letting He Jijun land.

�

Yang Changhong and others staggered off the helicopter.

He Jijun’s skill in flying a helicopter is high, but this is a military transport helicopter after all, and there is no comfort at all. They also had to avoid danger, so there was basically no riding experience. Several of them almost felt sick from sitting.

Even Lightning, who is always very energetic, is a little listless. It was Wang Tao who stroked its head that restored some of its energy.

Wang Tao is okay, although he feels a little uncomfortable.

The person in the best mental state was He Jijun. He acted as if nothing was wrong and even drove the helicopter to the hangar in his car.

Arriving at the command center hall, Wang Tao took out various foods.

A few people ate without caring about the image. Although they had simply replenished some energy on the plane, they were still hungry.

“Let’s summarize the battle process…”

Wang Tao clapped his hands.

Everyone who had eaten a lot became more energetic and started to communicate immediately.

In terms of results, such an action was naturally successful. The fourth-level zombies were killed without any loss of personnel. It's a big victory.

But from a process perspective, there were too many dangers in this operation! If it weren't for the quick reactions and good skills of a few people, plus a little bit of luck, it's hard to say what the outcome would be.

The reason for all this is because the explosion-proof zombie's defense is too strong, and its ability to recover blood is too outrageous.

Originally, they prepared four heavy machine guns, but in the end, only one could actually cause damage to the explosion-proof zombies.

This disrupted Wang Tao's previous plans and seriously affected their efficiency.

If the defense of the explosion-proof zombies is weaker and they do not have the ability to recover blood, then their four heavy machine guns fire at the same time and they should be able to solve it quickly.

The power of the heavy machine gun is actually very powerful. Just like those ordinary zombies, a bullet can directly tear them in half. Even elite zombies can't withstand a few bullets.

But unfortunately, we encountered this fourth-level zombie with abnormal defense power!

Wang Tao feels that the fourth level may be a watershed - to deal with zombies before the fourth level, there is basically no problem using firearms. But after the fourth level, it may be a little difficult.

Especially at the end, Wang Tao fired several shots at the giant zombies with a heavy machine gun. The dozen points of damage from that shot is probably equivalent to giving it a massage...

“It’s not a crime of war. We were also unlucky and happened to encounter a zombie with strong defense...”

Wang Tao did not elaborate on the situation of this explosion-proof zombie before, but now Wang Tao briefly explained the information about this zombie.

“It turns out that this is a zombie who is very good at defense and can also heal his own injuries...”

Everyone was stunned.

No wonder this explosion-proof zombie is so difficult to kill!

When Wang Tao said this, everyone suddenly felt eager to try it again.

Since this explosion-proof zombie with extremely abnormal defense power can be eliminated, then the other level 4 zombies must be no problem either!

If you go there next time, you might be able to deal with the other level 4 zombies soon!

“Anyway, we won a big victory this time. And I got another fourth-level promotion core...”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that Wang Tao had obtained the fourth-level promotion crystal core again.

It would be very uncomfortable if you have been busy for a long time and can't even get a crystal core.

“Okay, let’s go and have a good rest! Prepare for the next expedition!”

"good!"

A few people went back to their rooms to rest.

Although their physical exertion was not great today, their mental exertion was great and they had to take a good rest.

Wang Tao returned to the room and started counting the loot.

While on the helicopter, he took a general look and could only say that the fourth-order lord zombies were extraordinary. This is the same as the fourth-level lord Night Demon that I killed before, and the loot is very rich!

 Explosion-proof zombies give 25,000 special energy and 1 awakening key. Wang Tao now has two awakening keys!

But seeing this awakening key, Wang Tao suddenly had a bad premonition... He had previously thought that a secret key would be consumed when awakening. But now he thought again, since killing a fourth-level lord zombie will result in a secret key, what if awakening consumes more than one secret key? Otherwise, if you awaken with just one secret key, wouldn’t subsequent secret keys be useless?

But the details will have to wait until he wakes up...Wang Tao looked at the other trophies.

The explosion-proof zombies themselves dropped 3 items, and then there were 4 loot packages.

The three items are the crystal core in its head, the explosion-proof armor on its body, and a baton on its waist.

【Level 4 Crystal Core·Defense】

【Quality: Excellent (60%)】

【Purity: 35% (Side Effect: Body Discharge)】

 No wonder the defense of explosion-proof zombies is so high. It turns out that they have a passive defense core.

【Obtain: Contaminated Explosion-Proof Clothing*1】

The explosion-proof armor on the explosion-proof zombies has a name, which surprised Wang Tao. However, the equipment dropped directly from the zombies have no attributes, so Wang Tao doesn't know whether the explosion-proof armor is strong or not, but the defense should not be weak. , you can try it out later.

It's just that the shape of this explosion-proof jacket is a bit hard to accept—it's not just a piece of clothing, it has some hardened flesh and blood on it. If you wear it, you might be regarded as a zombie by others...

【Obtain: Contaminated baton*1】

An explosion-proof zombie does not use a baton when fighting. With its size, holding a baton is probably like a toothpick.

However, this baton is different from a normal baton. It has also been fused with its flesh and blood and mutated. It was said to be a police baton, but it looked like a stick made of flesh and blood, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Then there are the 4 loot packages.

There are 5 crystal cores in the first package, namely the red [Level 4 Crystal Core·Almighty], the orange [Level 4 Crystal Core·Promotion], the red [Level 4 Crystal Core·Awakening] and the blue [Level 4 Crystal Core] The fourth-order crystal core·Defense] and the purple [fourth-order crystal core·Reflection].

There is a promotion core, and it is an epic quality promotion core, which is very good for Wang Tao. With this crystal core, Wang Tao has three promotion crystal cores!

There is another awakening crystal core, and it is also a red one!

Among these crystal nuclei, only "Returning Light" has never been seen by Wang Tao.

【Fourth-order crystal nucleus·returning light】

【Quality: Excellent (60%)】

【Purity: 35% (Side Effect: Irritability)】

【Return to Light: Passive ability, the blood will be restored when the blood is lost. The amount of blood returned is fixed: 10 blood is returned at level 1, 100 blood is returned at level 10, and is capped at level 10]

This is the ability of explosion-proof zombies to regain blood after being beaten!

Wang Tao was suddenly excited. To a certain extent, this is a magical skill! However, Wang Tao was speechless after seeing the subsequent introduction. He was too happy too early.

This blood recovery ability must first be beaten, and the blood recovery is fixed. It can only restore up to 100 blood.

This is definitely suitable for someone with high defense. If you hit him a few hundred, he can get back a hundred. But for most people, it may not be suitable. If your defense is low, if someone hits you three thousand and you get back one hundred, it will be useless...

Of course, overall, this ability is pretty good. Because it has a great advantage - passive ability, no mana consumption.

If he can get three more in the future, Wang Tao might also fuse them.

The second loot package for explosion-proof zombies contains potions.

【Obtain: Strength Potion (Small)*20】

【Obtain: Strength Potion (Medium)*20】

【Obtain: Furious Potion*20】

【Obtain: Hemostatic Potion*20】　　　Although there are no potions that increase permanent properties, there are four potions, which are pretty good.

The third loot package contains clothes.

【Obtain: Explosion-proof suit*1】

【Explosion-proof suit: durability +10, tear resistance +10, defense +5, movement speed -5%】

The explosion-proof zombie suit has been revealed, including a helmet, top, pants, shoes, gloves, etc., it is very complete.

But this is a normal suit, not those after the mutation.

In addition to the regular durability and tear resistance, 5 points of defense are added, but the movement speed is reduced by 5%.

For Wang Tao, movement speed is obviously more important than this defense, so it is considered useless.

As for the others, they can wear it, but they all wear iron tree armor given by Wang Tao, so they can no longer wear this suit of clothes outside. So no one can use it...

The last loot package contains equipment blueprints, and there are two of them!

【Obtain: Mutation Explosion-proof Baton Making Diagram*1】

【Obtain: Mutation Explosion-proof Electric Shield Production Diagram*1】

These are a baton crafting blueprint and a shield crafting blueprint respectively.

[Making diagram of mutated explosion-proof baton: You can make a mutated explosion-proof baton. Materials required: baton*1, fourth-order crystal core*1, iron block*10, steel wire*10, screw*10, nail*10, rubber* 10. Cables*10, electronic components*10, batteries*10]

【Mutation explosion-proof baton: with electric shock properties】

[Material diagram of mutation-proof explosion-proof electric shield: You can make a mutation-proof explosion-proof electric shield. Materials required: fourth-order zombie bones*10kg, fourth-order crystal core*1, iron block*10, steel wire*10, screws*10, nails *10, rubber*10, cable*10, electronic component*10, battery*10]

【Mutation explosion-proof electric shield: with electric shock attribute】

The introduction of these two drawings made Wang Tao’s eyes light up.

This baton and shield are actually electrified!

Wang Tao started making it without saying a word.

After killing an explosion-proof zombie before, when he collected the loot, he deliberately took its body with him.

Because according to Wang Tao's previous experience, some equipment drawings and other equipment require the use of zombie bones.

This is a fourth-level zombie after all. If you really need bones and Wang Tao doesn't have them, it will be difficult to find them.

 Now I made this anti-explosion shield and it’s actually in use!

The materials for making batons are easy to say. The infected baton dropped by the anti-explosion zombies is of no use and can be made directly.

As for the fourth-order crystal core, Wang Tao thought about it and chose [Defense] and [Strength]. Wang Tao had already fused these two crystal cores, so he had no use for them.

After getting all the materials, Wang Tao started making.

After a moment, two things appeared in front of Wang Tao.

The appearance of the "mutated anti-explosion baton" is a little different from ordinary batons. It is black and red, and there are some vein-like lines on it. It doesn't look like a serious weapon.

However, the appearance is not important, what is important is the attributes.

【Mutation Explosion-proof Baton】

【Level 4 (Excellent)】

【Durability +80, attack power +60, with electric shock effect (electric shock effect requires awakening energy)】

This attribute is a bit interesting. The durability is 10 points more than the previous level 4 equipment, but the attack power is slightly weaker.

But it’s understandable. After all, it’s a baton, so it’s normal for it to be less lethal.

But this electric shock effect actually requires the consumption of awakening energy?

This made Wang Tao a little speechless. He had no awakened energy and could only be used as an ordinary baton.

But does this mean that the electric shock ability should be quite strong? After all, it consumes awakening energy, so it shouldn’t be similar to an ordinary electric baton, right?

Wang Tao looked at the shield.

The appearance of this shield is also very different from ordinary shields. It is a square shield. The main body is black, but it is decorated with a lot of white bones, which makes it look a little ferocious. And its attributes are the highest equipment Wang Tao has ever seen.

【Mutation explosion-proof electric shield】

【Level 4 (Excellent)】

【Durability +100, defense +100, with electric shock effect (electric shock effect requires awakening energy)】

The durability and defense have been increased by 100. Wang Tao has never seen such high equipment. But it is a shield after all, so it makes sense.

As for this electric shock effect, it also requires awakening energy before it can be used.

This makes Wang Tao very uncomfortable. He is a very curious person. Now that he has equipment but cannot use it, he is speechless.

“Level 4! Awakening!”

Wang Tao clenched his fists. This awakening attracted him more and more!

He now only lacks a fourth-level promotion core and an offensive ability.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t need offensive abilities, but since he can integrate other abilities, this opportunity cannot be wasted.

What Wang Tao is thinking now is whether he should upgrade the other three abilities to the fourth level first...

He can actually fuse the fourth-level promotion core now and upgrade his three +10 abilities to the fourth level.

The fourth-level ability is definitely much stronger than the third-level ability, and it can greatly increase his strength.

But he was a little hesitant, because his current special energy could only extract and synthesize first-, second-, and third-level abilities. There is no level 4 ability on this.

Wang Tao doesn’t know if after he is promoted to level 4, he will be given the ability to extract and synthesize level 4 abilities. He can't now anyway.

This means that if he promotes the ability to the fourth level, he will not be able to extract and synthesize it. If he encounters some special circumstances and needs him to fuse other crystal nuclei, he won't be able to use it. So he hesitated...

“Forget it, let’s not rush to fuse and upgrade the crystal core. After all, we mainly rely on thermal weapons to hunt down fourth-level zombies...”

Wang Tao finally decided not to integrate.

After all, they are using thermal weapons now, so this increase in strength will not affect the overall situation. And even if his super powers are upgraded to the fourth level, his overall strength is still far worse than that of the fourth level zombies, because there is one less awakening...

the next day.

Everyone gathered in the hall.

Due to flying a helicopter yesterday, a lot of zombies gathered around the base. Wang Tao called everyone to clean up the zombies.

They have too few people. If there are too many zombies around the base, uncertainty may easily arise. So if there is a gathering of zombies, Wang Tao will take people to clean it up.

Soon, two military vehicles took everyone away from the military base. There were many zombies outside, so Wang Tao divided into two teams and acted separately.

It took a whole day to finally clear away the zombies around the base.

Wang Tao got two pieces of good news unexpectedly.

The first good news is that his special vine split!

【Level 3 Weapon·Iron Tree Vine】

【HP: 10000/10000 (upper limit 100000)】

【Status: Awakening】

【Amplification: Split (2), independent attack】

【Fitness: 100%】

His iron tree vines must be divided before they can be cultivated. Before, there was only one iron tree vine, so it always had 10,000 health.

Wang Tao doesn't know how it can be split. He guesses that it may have something to do with time.

Today, the iron tree vine successfully split! It turned into two sticks, and both sticks had 10,000 blood!

Without saying a word, Wang Tao took out the crystal core and started cultivating it.

After a while, the upper limit of the iron tree vine's health was raised to 20,000, with two iron tree vines having 20,000 health.

Although the blood volume is still not much, it will not be cut off easily like before, right?

And not only has its health increased, but its length has also increased. When it had 10,000 blood, the length of this iron tree vine was ten meters. And now after 20,000 blood, the two iron tree vines are both 20 meters long!

The increase in the length of the iron tree vines is definitely a big enhancement for Wang Tao! After all, he was still counting on relying on the iron tree vines to pull the zombie corpses onto the helicopter!

The length of twenty meters is still two, which greatly increases Wang Tao's fault tolerance rate!

The second good news is that Wang Tao finally obtained another active-attack crystal core! And they also obtained a lot of all-powerful crystal cores while cleaning up the surrounding zombies.

In other words, he can make all four abilities +10, and then fuse the fourth-level promotion core!
