Chapter 308 Flying Zombies

The spoils Cui Sheng mentioned were three in total.

The first prize was a piece of protein, which was commonly known as “cockroach paste” by the survivors.

The body of the monster killed by Wang Tao yesterday was processed into protein blocks overnight after being tested at the city hall and determined to be non-toxic.

It doesn’t matter what the raw material of the protein block is, whether it tastes good or not, anyway, this thing is considered a kind of hard currency in Changhe Base. Because it is nutritious, cheap, and easy to carry and store. Whether at home or out, it is a must-have item.

This cockroach monster looks like a bug, so it is rich in protein and it makes sense that it can make protein blocks.

The protein blocks made with it were divided into three equal parts. One share for Wang Tao, one share for Duan Xuchang’s team, and one share for the City Hall.

"This monster weighs 10 tons in total. Excluding various carapace, bones, etc., the edible parts total 4 tons. These 4 tons of ingredients and other ingredients are then processed and compressed... and finally 3 tons of protein blocks are obtained . After being divided into three parts, each part is 1 ton. According to the standard size of protein blocks, one piece is about 50g, so 1 ton is 20,000 pieces..."

Cui Sheng explained it very carefully.

In fact, protein blocks are not valuable. After all, they are the most basic food in Changhe Base. If they are too expensive, many people will not be able to afford food. According to current prices, one crystal coin can buy dozens of yuan, and 20,000 yuan is equivalent to only a few hundred yuan.

But this is not a question of money, but a question of attitude - this is Wang Tao's trophy. Since it was agreed that it should be divided equally, it must be delivered to Wang Tao. Even if it is worth one crystal coin, the point is still scored!

Wang Tao was not interested in the protein blocks themselves, but he was very interested in how the city hall turned the monster's corpse into protein blocks overnight.

After all, this is a big thing weighing several tons, and it can be made into protein blocks in just one night? This speed is a bit fast! Is it possible that they also have equipment similar to food compressors?

“Mr. Wang, do you think you should move these protein blocks in or put them in the bank?”

Cui Sheng asked again after explaining.

“Oh? This can also be deposited in the bank?”

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

"Of course! Whether it's crystal nuclei, weapons, ammunition, or food, they can all be stored in the bank. As far as food is concerned, this kind of protein block is very popular with banks. After all, it cannot be stored for a long time. If you store it for too long, If it leads to spoilage, it would be too wasteful. It is better to let the bank make reasonable arrangements..."

Wang Tao has become more knowledgeable.

“Let’s move in.”

For Wang Tao, the storage method does not matter. He can place the protein blocks in the magical stomach pouch, or process them again into nutrient solution.

"okay!"

Cui Sheng's car was parked outside, and he immediately had people move the ton of protein blocks into the yard.

There are 20 boxes in total, each box costs 1,000 yuan.

Wang Tao opened one of the boxes and took a look. All the protein blocks were arranged neatly, like jelly.

In fact, if you don’t know what the raw materials of protein blocks are, its appearance is still acceptable.

“How did you make this? It’s so fast!”

Wang Tao asked directly.

Cui Sheng did not hide it, he immediately explained:

"The Hope Research Institute has developed a set of equipment specifically used to make these protein blocks, and these equipment are placed in the factory. With sufficient raw materials and the factory's full horsepower, these protein blocks can be made quickly. "

"I see."

Wang Tao nodded, this was almost as he imagined.

Then Cui Sheng took out the second and third trophies.

"These are processed legs and carapace...can be used to make weapons or armors. This fourth-level material is very popular! If you don't know much about making weapons and equipment, you can also entrust our city hall to help you make them. …”

When Wang Tao collected the trophies yesterday, he only took away the trophies with names. These things without names were left behind by Wang Tao.

For example, this monster has many legs, but only 10 of them have names and can be stored in the storage space. The remaining legs couldn't be stored in the storage space, so Wang Tao didn't take them.

In the end, Duan Xuchang sent it to him again...

Wang Tao feels that this thing is of little use to him. After all, the equipment he uses are all made from design drawings. However, they all delivered it in person, so Wang Tao naturally accepted it.

After Cui Sheng handed all these things to Wang Tao, he did not leave. Instead, he coughed and asked softly:

“Mr. Wang, I heard that you picked up some meteorites last night…”

…”

Wang Tao immediately glanced at Cui Sheng.

Good guy, no wonder I sent the stuff here so early in the morning and said I wouldn't take advantage of Wang Tao, but it was originally waiting for him!

“Mr. Wang, don’t get me wrong! According to the rules of our Changhe base, whoever picks up an unowned thing belongs to the same person. It is certainly not possible for our city hall to take things that belong to others!”

Cui Shengsheng was afraid that Wang Tao would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

“Then what do you mean?”

"That's right, you know, the things inside these meteorites are not certain. There may be good things, but there may also be worthless things, and there may even be monsters! And if you want to open these meteorites, you have to pay a lot of crystal nuclei. ...So our city hall wants to discuss with the people who got these meteorites to see if we can share the risk together - we will take out the crystal core together, and we will share the opened items according to the proportion of investment! If monsters appear, we will deal with them together..."

Hearing Duan Xuchang’s explanation, Wang Tao suddenly raised his eyebrows.

This city hall is a bit interesting. How about opening a crystal energy star meteorite to get a kick out of it?

But don’t tell me, this does sound like a good idea.

After all, these crystal energy star meteorites seem to be of the fourth and fifth levels. Let’s not talk about the fifth-level crystal nuclei. Let’s just say that the fourth-level crystal nuclei are very precious now. Wang Tao doesn’t have many in his hands. He wants to get the crystal nuclei in his hands. You have to think carefully about opening all the Nengxing Meteorites, let alone others. It is indeed a good idea if someone is willing to share the risk.

But Wang Tao doesn’t need it. Sharing risks means sharing the benefits. It's not like Wang Tao is incapable of opening it, so there's no need. He doesn't care about risks. If a monster appears, he will most likely be able to deal with it.

“Your idea is interesting, but I don’t need it.”

Wang Tao shook his head.

Cui Sheng was a little disappointed when he heard this.

The task assigned to him by the city hall is to hope that Wang Tao can take out the meteorite in his hand and let everyone study it together.

If he can do this well, the leader will give him a credit.

But he also knew that this matter was difficult. Because Wang Tao is a fourth-level superpower. Not to mention whether Wang Tao lacks crystal cores, let's just say that Wang Tao can earn fourth-level crystal cores by hunting fourth-level zombies. For such a strong person, he is definitely not willing to share his things with others.

But Cui Sheng was still a little unwilling to give up, and he quickly said:

"Mr. Wang, you don't have to refuse in a hurry. You can think about it again. The city hall will never trick you! After all, those meteorites require fourth-order crystal nuclei to open, and fourth-order crystal nuclei are too precious now. If there is no If you share the risk, if you lose money...and you may not know that there are already some forces ready to cooperate with the city hall to jointly open the meteorite..."

“Hmm? Is there anyone already cooperating?”

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

“Yes! It is estimated that most people will choose win-win cooperation! Of course, it is your own right to choose how you choose, but I personally recommend that you think about it again..."

Wang Tao really frowned and thought for a moment, and then suddenly said:

“Since so many people have joined, how about I help you share some risks?”

"ah?"

Cui Sheng didn't know what it meant at first, and then he was a little unsure and said:

“You mean, instead of taking out the meteorite, you take out the crystal core and share the risk with others?”

“That’s right.”

Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

This is what he just thought of.

He is more curious now about what is in these meteorites. Then there is the difference between using crystal cores of different qualities and what comes out.

His original plan was not to open the meteorite in his own hand first, but to wait for others to open it first, and then go and inquire about it.

But there is a problem, that is, he may not be able to find out. And even if it could be found out, it would definitely be a concealed version.

 Thinking about it from his perspective, if he prescribed something good himself and someone asked him what was in it, would he tell the truth? Most likely not. So if he asks others, he may get a hidden answer. But if he can participate in one share, even if it is not much, he is a small shareholder, then he also has the right to know! Then it would be easy for him to know what can be found in it!

Of course, this idea is a good one, but it depends on whether the city hall is willing to do so. Anyway, he would give it a try, and no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would not suffer any loss.

"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment, I will report to the superiors!"

"Can."

 Cui Sheng did not dare to neglect, and quickly told his superiors Wang Tao's thoughts through the message watch.

After a moment, Cui Sheng came over with a happy face.

"Mr. Wang, our leader feels that it is a pleasure to cooperate with you! If there are no problems on your side, we will make a verbal agreement first. We will contact you later when we have all the meteorites ready. !”

“Oh? Agreed? Okay, you can come to me anytime if you need it.”

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

He thought the city hall would not agree to let him get a share of the pie, but unexpectedly it agreed.

What Wang Tao doesn’t know is that the city hall has obtained a lot of meteorites this time, and if you add those from other people, it will be even more. However, the number of fourth-order crystal cores in the hands of the city hall is also limited. If they bear all this risk, they will be under great pressure.

But they have to join in, because the people at the city hall actually have the same idea as Wang Tao - they don't necessarily have to get what's inside the meteorite, they mainly want to know what's inside! Is it worth opening?

If you ask, others may not tell the truth, but if you become a shareholder, you will definitely know the specific situation.

Under the premise that the "city hall is informed" condition is met, it would be a good thing if someone can help them share some of the pressure.

Cui Sheng left happily. Looking at him like this, he should have completed his mission.

Not long after he left, Duan Xuchang came over again.

“Wang Tao, thank you very much for yesterday!”

Although I already said thank you yesterday, Wang Tao has saved so many people, so there is no problem in saying thank you again.

And Duan Xuchang didn't just say thank you verbally, he also brought Wang Tao his share of the loot!

“No merit, no reward, you killed the monsters, these trophies should belong to you!”

Looking at the protein blocks, claws, carapace, etc., Wang Tao felt dumbfounded.

"Cui Sheng just gave me a gift...and it's useless for me to ask for it! I really don't need this thing, so you can take it all! If you really feel sorry for it, then if we have the opportunity to go out to hunt zombies together later, Just give me a few heads."

Wang Tao said helplessly.

If it really allows him to explode a few more loot packages, it will definitely be much better than this thing.

"...Okay! Haha, let's get together later!"

Duan Xuchang is not a shy person. Since Wang Tao said so, he can just take the things back. This is still very useful to him and his team.

But before going back, he said to Wang Tao with a serious face:

“I came here today to tell you some important news!”

"what news?"

“There are flying zombies and monsters outside!”

…”

Wang Tao opened his mouth.

This news is actually not surprising, because he had thought about this before when he saw those weird zombies and monsters. After all, birds can fly, so it seems reasonable to have flying zombie birds and monster birds.

"I was suddenly called away before because of this situation. And you may not know that during the meteor shower last night, two of the helicopters we flew out were attacked by flying monsters and crashed!"

ifies

Wang Tao's face looked a little ugly.

Doesn’t this mean that the sky is no longer safe? The sky is not safe in the first place. You cannot fly too high, otherwise all the electronic components on the plane will be damaged, but at least you can fly at low altitudes. But now...can't even fly at low altitude?

"We are still studying the specific height at which flying zombies and monsters will be attracted, but it can be expected that the sky will no longer be safe in the future! It may be difficult for helicopters to explore and open roads at high altitudes in the past. Appeared! Fortunately, we came back early. If we had returned to the base a few days later, we might have been trapped outside now..."

Duan Xuchang sighed.

In fact, he has one biggest worry that he has not yet mentioned. The wall at Changhe Base is indeed very high, but no matter how high it is, it can't stop flying!

Especially those flying zombie monsters. They don’t have electronic products on their bodies. Doesn’t it mean that they can fly very high...

Wang Tao has obviously thought of this, but he has no solution for the time being. All I can say is to take it one step at a time...

“I’m going to leave first. I still have to study the matter of these flying zombies. I’ll let you know when I have the exact results later.”

"OK!"

After Duan Xuchang left, Wang Tao's sense of urgency that was about to disappear returned again.

 

Wang Tao called everyone over and told them what Duan Xuchang had just said.

When everyone heard this, their expressions were not very good.

“But you don’t have to worry too much. Changhe Base is different from our previous base. Changhe Base is very powerful! It has tanks, artillery, and powered armor! Even if you encounter danger, you can still deal with it!”

Wang Tao first comforted everyone, and then said:

“But we can’t relax, we have to improve our strength! After all, strength is the foundation of everything!”

Wang Tao said as he took out the physical awakening key and promotion core.

 He ​​has a total of 7 physical awakening keys in his hand, which is equivalent to allowing seven people to awaken at the same time, but he only has 16 fourth-level promotion cores in his hand, although they are all of high quality and can be used directly. But it’s only big enough for four people at most.

So Wang Tao can only allow up to four people to try to awaken now.

The military dog ​​Lightning was eliminated first because it did not need a crystal core to awaken.

Previously, Wang Tao gave him the meat of a fourth-level lord monster, and it successfully advanced to the second and third levels.

But now after the third level, I don’t know how to advance. When I killed the cockroach monster yesterday, Lightning was there, but it didn't have any urge to eat.

Wang Tao is not sure how Lightning will advance, since he will definitely not be able to use the crystal core.

The second person to be excluded is Jiang Shixue.

Although Jiang Shixue has recovered her memory and the impurities in her body have dropped to 50%, she looks almost like an ordinary human being. But she has no superpowers, and she can't fuse the crystal core. Naturally, there is no way to fuse and promote the crystal core...

The reason why Jiang Shixue was promoted to the third level was because she drank Wang Tao's blood. But a few days ago, Wang Tao asked her to drink some of his own blood, but unfortunately it had no effect. Wang Tao didn't know if he drank too much or if his blood wasn't working anymore... so Jiang Shixue had to be ruled out as well.

Then there are Nie Siyan and Gao Hua, both of whom were previously selected by Wang Tao as tool men. After everyone else has finished their turn, it's their turn.

Then there are Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, Chen Zhuang, and Li Qiuyu. The relationship between the four of them and Wang Tao is relatively good, but their strength is slightly weaker. Especially Xiang Hongbin and Lan Yulian, one is disabled and the other is weak...so they also have to line up in the back.

In the end, Yang Changhong was also excluded because she had no hidden attributes.

 And not only her, but also Li Qiuyu, Lu Gang, Chen Zhuang, Gao Hua and Nie Siyan did not hide their attributes. Wang Tao just forgot about it. Now that he thinks about it, he has ruled it out again...

So in the end there were only seven candidates left.

They are Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng, He Jijun, Xu Xiaojun and Wei Zhenguo.

After some discussion between Wang Tao and everyone, they finally selected four candidates.

The first one is Lan Yulian, for no other reason than that she is a wet nurse. She is strong alone and the whole team is strong!
