Chapter 289： Before Dawn

Chapter 289 Before Dawn

Wang Tao looked at the raging tide of corpses and was unmoved.

“Why don’t you come out yet…”

He was waiting for the fourth-level lord zombies to appear, but those fourth-level zombies seemed to be planning to consume the base with ordinary zombies first, and they themselves never showed up.

Wang Tao is not naive enough to think that the four fourth-level zombies are gone, they must be hiding somewhere!

After waiting for a while, Wang Tao took out an anti-equipment sniper rifle after seeing that the fourth-level lord zombie still hadn't come out.

Aim and pull the trigger.

boom!

A level 3 ordinary zombie was headshot.

This gun is very powerful and can kill ordinary zombies with one shot.

Since the fourth-level zombies won’t come out, Wang Tao can’t just wait and kill some other zombies first to relieve everyone’s pressure.

While Wang Tao was using his sniper rifle to kill more than a dozen zombies, suddenly, a thick pillar-like thing flew from a distance and hit the high wall of the base.

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and everyone felt the wall shaking, as if there was an earthquake.

Everyone looked around quickly and saw a small dent in the wall where it had just been smashed!

Metal pillars as thick as telephone poles rolled to the ground, crushing many zombies to death.

If there were a few more metal pillars, I'm afraid they wouldn't really be able to make a hole in the high wall of the base!

“What a terrifying power!”

Wang Tao was a little stunned.

At this time, a bald figure who was more than three meters tall, with muscles all over his body and seemed to be wearing a worn-out metal armor appeared from the tide of corpses. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the armor and its flesh were growing together.

【HP: 100000/100000】

【Blue amount: 100000/100000】

【Level: Level 4·Lord】

【Awakening: Tenacity】

【Toughness: All basic attributes are improved, and strength and defense are greatly improved】

This is one of the four fourth-order lord zombies that Wang Tao saw before.

Its awakening ability is the same as the explosion-proof zombie Wang Tao has seen before, but there are some differences in their appearance.

Seeing that his weapon failed to penetrate the high wall, the bald zombie was obviously a little angry.

It roared angrily and strode towards the base.

His speed is not fast, which is good news for Wang Tao.

However, Wang Tao did not act rashly because there were still three fourth-level lord zombies that had not appeared.

咚,咚—

The bald zombies walked towards the base step by step. All kinds of bullets were directed towards it.

ˆ【-321】

ˆ【-33】

ˆ【-123】

ˆ【-82】

【…】

But even heavy machine guns and anti-material sniper rifles can only cause him a few hundred points of damage.

And it can recover 100 HP every time.

ˆ【+100】

ˆ【+100】

ˆ【+100】

【…】

“Sure enough, they are almost the same as explosion-proof zombies!”

This scene is too familiar, the explosion-proof zombie was like this before. The more you fight, the more blood you get!

“Don’t attack him!”

Wang Tao immediately stopped the attack.

This kind of zombie can only hit the head. If the head hit is not accurate, the blood will be restored to him. On the contrary, the blood will increase more and more.

Lan Yulian immediately ordered the others to shift their attack targets. Wang Tao and He Jijun, who were good at shooting, controlled heavy machine guns to attack the head of the bald zombie.

The bullets of the heavy machine gun can hit it with more than 300 damage each time, and it can return 100 damage, which is equivalent to hitting it with 200 damage. As long as there is enough time, it can consume him to death! But the bald zombie obviously didn't give this chance.

The bald zombie came to the high wall under the surging firepower, then picked up its huge metal pillar and smashed it against the high wall.

Boom—

A loud noise.

Another shallow pit appeared on the wall.

Boom—

The bald zombie continued to swing the metal pillar, as if he would not stop until the wall collapsed.

“Can’t let it hit like this!”

Wang Tao immediately said to He Jijun next to him:

“Old He, go and fly the plane! If another level 4 zombie appears later, cover it for me! I’ll deal with it!”

"good!"

The helicopter is ready and can take off at any time. He Jijun immediately took people to fly the plane.

Wang Tao waited for a while, and after seeing that the plane had taken off, he jumped off the high wall.

咚!

Wang Tao landed directly on the shoulder of the bald zombie.

Then he raised his long knife and stabbed it in the head.

ˆ【-2023】

ˆ【-202】

ˆ【-202】

ˆ【-202】

“What a high defense!”

Wang Tao's sword only caused more than 2,000 damage.

After a successful blow, he immediately jumped down.

Suddenly attacked, the bald zombie was obviously very angry. It roared angrily, let go of the metal pillar, and slapped itself on the shoulder.

But Wang Tao had already left early, so its attack was naturally in vain.

"Roar-"

The bald zombie immediately gave up attacking the high wall and chased Wang Tao with a roar.

Wang Tao did not continue to fight it, but ran away for a while.

After all, fighting under a high wall, let alone whether it will damage the high wall, even those bullets can easily injure him accidentally.

brush-

Wang Tao sent out several shock waves, instantly clearing the surrounding zombies.

The bald zombie also happened to catch up. It raised the metal pillar in its hand and hit Wang Tao with a hammer.

However, it was slow and Wang Tao easily dodged the blow. In addition, in order to prevent it from having a shock wave, Wang Tao deliberately ran farther away.

咚!

The bald zombie hit the ground with the stick, and the ground was cracked. Although there was no shock wave, it still made many nearby zombies unsteady.

Wang Tao took advantage of the bald zombie's movement and rushed over. Then he rushed up the metal pillar and rushed in front of it.

Wang Tao swung his sword and chopped in succession.

boom!

ˆ【-1029】

ˆ【-102】

【…】

ˆ【-1129】

ˆ【-112】

The damage of continuous slashing is similar to that of high-frequency vibration, and the total damage is only over 2,000.

Roar-

The bald zombie roared angrily, then picked up the metal pillar and smashed it on Wang Tao.

But at this time, Wang Tao was in front of the bald zombie. Wang Tao immediately ducked, and the bald zombie hit him directly on the head!

boom!

ˆ【-3193】

Seeing the number of three thousand blood coming out of the bald zombie's head, Wang Tao called him a good guy. This bald zombie is a bit stupid!

Roar-

The bald zombie shook and roared, and the huge metal rod was rounded in his hand. Wang Tao had already dodged, but the zombies around him suffered a disaster and were directly smashed by the bald zombies.

Looking at the bald zombie who seemed a little crazy, Wang Tao did not rush forward this time, but suddenly used a mental shock on the bald zombie!

brush-

The bald zombie's body suddenly froze, and at the same time, a damage number of [-2834] appeared on his head!

"efficient!"

Wang Tao was immediately overjoyed.

Since he learned the ability of mental shock, he has not used it many times.

Generally not used, after all it is easier to use a knife. When it can be used, the opponent's mental power is relatively strong, so it has no effect. He had used it against several fourth-level zombies and monsters before, but it didn't work well.

Moreover, mental abilities will consume mental energy, and you will be very tired if you use it too much. Therefore, Wang Tao uses it less often.

Now seeing that the bald zombie didn’t look very smart, Wang Tao felt that the other person’s mental power might not be very high. So I gave it a try, and sure enough it worked!

While the opponent was slightly dazed by the mental shock, Wang Tao rushed over again, and the long knife in his hand was replaced by an electric baton.

boom!

ˆ【-932】

ˆ【-173】

Seeing this damage figure, Wang Tao decisively changed his weapon back.

This bald zombie is obviously not afraid of electricity, and the electric baton does very little damage to it.

Roar-

After the bald zombie recovered, he held up the metal pillar and hammered it around him.

It seemed to be a little smarter this time and didn't hit itself on the head again.

But Wang Tao used another mental shock, and the bald zombie's movements got stuck. After it reacted, Wang Tao slashed it twice more.

Wang Tao's mental shock can probably stun the bald zombie for half a second to one second. This time is enough for Wang Tao to attack and retreat.

But Wang Tao can't use mental shock all the time. He won't be able to stand it if he uses it too much. After attacking back and forth several times, the bald zombie didn't even touch the corner of Wang Tao's clothes, but it only had half of its health left.

Wang Tao did not relax at this time, but became more and more vigilant.

Because the other three level 4 lord zombies haven’t appeared yet! It would be a big loss if you were attacked accidentally because you were too relaxed.

Hum—

At this time, the helicopter had already flown out of the base. Both side doors of the cabin were opened, and the barrels of four heavy machine guns were exposed.

Wang Tao was relieved when he saw air support coming.

The heavy machine gun on the plane may not be able to kill the fourth-level zombies, but it should be able to cause some damage to the fourth-level zombies. As long as it can cause damage, it can attract the attention of the zombies.

 If Wang Tao were to face four level four zombies alone, he would be seeking death, but if there were planes in the air to support him, he would be much safer.

——

Wang Tao rushed directly in front of the bald zombie, used mental shock to it and slashed at it at the same time.

ˆ【-2384】

ˆ【-2192】

ˆ【-219】

【…】

But I don’t know if the bald zombies have become accustomed to the mental shock. The damage of the mental shock is gradually reduced, and the stun time is also shortened.

Roar-

The bald zombie roared angrily, picked up a metal pillar and threw it at Wang Tao. But this time, the pillar in the bald zombie's hand fell away.

Wang Tao's speed is not slow, and he is fully capable of dodging this blow. But the direction the pillar was thrown turned out to be the helicopter overhead! There was no other way, Wang Tao could only choose to block the blow for the helicopter!

Tangled tree roots instantly covered his body, and then the metal pillar hit Wang Tao **** the back.

【-53533】

ˆ【-736】

【109264/110000（46467/100000）】

Wang Tao felt as if he had been hit by a train. He and the pillars fell hard into the zombies. By the way, more than a dozen zombies were killed.

"Grass!"

Wang Tao stood up, holding his waist.

With this blow, the bald zombie directly knocked out more than 50,000 HP of the entangled tree roots, and also hit him with more than 700 HP. It was simply terrifying!

Twining Tree Roots is still a third-level weapon after all, and its current defense is actually not as high as Wang Tao's own. It was obviously a little weak in this fourth-level battle.

Wang Tao was about to rush over again, but when he saw the metal pillar on the ground, he was stunned for a moment. Then he waved his hand at the pillar... and the pillar disappeared!

The bald zombie’s weapon, the metal pillar, was put into the space backpack by Wang Tao!

…”

Wang Tao also just discovered that the metal pillar that fell next to him had a name. Then he tried it and actually put it into his space backpack!

"Ha ha!"

Wang Tao laughed.

The bald zombie that rushed over seemed a little dumbfounded when he saw where the metal pillar had landed.

Without weapons, the bald zombie's attack power is greatly weakened compared to before, but its attack speed with the slap is much faster.

But this increase in attack speed is obviously incomparable to Wang Tao.

After a while, the bald zombie had only a trace of blood left.

Wang Tao did not hesitate and stabbed directly into its head.

ˆ【-1823】

【0/100000】

The health of the fourth-level lord bald zombie was cleared, and Wang Tao didn’t even need to wake up this time.

He quickly put away all the trophies, then turned on the intercom and asked:

“Have you seen any other level 4 zombies?”

"did not see."

He Jijun replied.

Wang Tao felt a little strange. There were clearly four fourth-level zombies coming, but why only one appeared? Do these four zombies want to go up one by one? Then this is what Wang Tao wants to see! Facing opponents of the same level, he is not afraid of wheel battles, but is afraid of being surrounded.

After confirming again that there were no level four zombies around, Wang Tao wrapped the iron tree vines around the hook under the helicopter and was taken back to the base by the helicopter.

“Wang Tao, are you okay?”

As soon as Wang Tao landed, Ding Yuqin and others hurriedly gathered around him, and Lan Yulian even unleashed several treatments on Wang Tao.

In order to prevent the bald zombies from attacking the high wall, the place where Wang Tao and the bald zombies fought was relatively far away, and there were some buildings in the middle. No one except He Jijun could see the details of the battle clearly.

“I’m fine. I’ve taken care of this fourth-level zombie. Have you seen other fourth-level zombies appear?”

Wang Tao asked after drinking a few bottles of nutrient solution.

"No. There were just a few Tier 3 Lord zombies that appeared, and we took care of them."

Everyone shook their heads.

“Pay more attention and let me know if anything happens.”

Wang Tao had to rest for a while. His battle with the bald zombies was not long, but it was very energy-consuming. After all, he could lose his life if he was not careful.

Before taking a break, Wang Tao took a look at the trophies.

Killing the bald zombie obtained 1 high-level special energy and 1 awakening key. He now has 6 awakening keys.

The bald zombie itself dropped a crystal core, an awakening energy bead, metal pillars, and worn-out armor.

【Obtain: Fourth-order crystal core·Dali*1】

【Obtain: Awakening Energy Bead*1】

【Obtain: Black Iron Rod*1】

【Obtain: Black Iron*10】

The black iron rod is its weapon, and the black iron is the worn armor it wears.

Then 5 loot packages.

The first package contained five crystal nuclei, all of which were owned by Wang Tao. They are red [Level 4 Crystal Core·Awakening], orange [Level 4 Crystal Core·Promotion], blue [Level 4 Crystal Core·Almighty], blue [Level 4 Crystal Core·Defense], and purple [Level 4 Crystal Core·Defense]. ·Return to the light].

The second loot package contains strength and defense potions.

【Obtain: Strength Potion (Medium)*20】

【Obtain: Strength Potion (Small)*20】

【Obtain: Defense Potion (Medium)*20】

【Obtain: Defense Potion (Small)*20】

The third loot package contains another energy bead.

【Obtain: Awakening Energy Bead*1】

Two Awakening Energy Beads, plus an Awakening Crystal Core, plus 100 Awakening Energy obtained from killing this zombie... these Awakening Energy alone are worth a lot of money.

Wang Tao upgraded the upper limit of awakening energy yesterday. The upper limit is now 600. If they were all used to use Catching Fire, it would last for one minute.

A real man for one minute!

The fourth loot package contained black iron again.

【Obtain: Black Iron*10】

【Xuantie: a production material that can increase equipment defense, fire resistance, and ductility】

Although this material does not add as many attributes as Blackstone Armor, any material that can add attributes is a good material.

And usually when this kind of material is released, matching equipment blueprints will be released.

As expected, the last loot package contained blueprints.

【Obtained: Black Iron Heavy Armor Set Production Blueprint*1】

【Drawings for making dark iron heavy armor set: You can make a set of dark iron heavy armor. Materials required: Dark iron*10, fourth-order crystal core*1]

【Dark Iron Heavy Armor Set: Unknown attributes】

The materials required for this blueprint are very simple, only black iron and crystal cores are needed.

Other than making equipment, Wang Tao didn't know what these materials were used for, so he made them directly.

A moment later, a full set of heavy armor as black as ink appeared in Wang Tao's space backpack.

【Dark Iron Heavy Armor Set】

【Level 4 (epic)】

【Durability +300, defense +200, speed -50%, fire resistance, ability: not embedded (requires awakening energy to activate)】

“Good guy!”

Wang Tao was shocked when he saw the attributes of this set of equipment. With 300 durability and 200 defense, these are the strongest attributes Wang Tao has ever seen. But the speed is reduced by 50%, which is a fatal weakening for people like Wang Tao who like high mobility.

How to use this set of armor requires careful study.

…

Until dark, no other fourth-level zombies appeared.

Lan Yulian quickly replaced the second group of people and let the previous combatants rest.

Wang Tao was almost rested. Looking at the crazy zombies slowly starting to appear under the wall, he took out various ultraviolet lighting tools. Get everyone ready.

At this moment, Wang Tao's ears suddenly twitched.

“There’s movement!”

He quickly picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.

"…Grass!"

Wang Tao’s night vision ability clearly saw that there were zombies in his field of vision! Endless!

Among these zombies, there are three fourth-level zombies!

It is the three fourth-level zombies from before!

No wonder they haven’t appeared before. It turns out they were bringing zombies from other places!

"What's wrong?"

Lan Yulian asked nervously.

“Those three zombies I mentioned before, they brought a lot of zombies with them!”

Wang Tao looked ugly.

“How big is a large amount of…?”

Several people next to him looked at Wang Tao nervously. Aren't the zombies surrounding their base not "large enough"?

Wang Tao pointed at the zombies outside the base and said:

"Three times more than this, or even more! The purpose of those three lord zombies... is to directly overwhelm our base!"

…”

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Are all zombies so smart nowadays? Do you still know how to deploy troops and generals?

“Everyone is ready to fight! If we can survive this wave, we can wait for rescue! If we can’t resist it...then there’s nothing!”
