Chapter 315 Awakening Science Popularization
The poison of the two-tailed scorpion does not last long, perhaps because of the strong resistance of the superpower, so the poison on Zied slowly disappeared.
In the end, he still had 30,000 blood left. It is equivalent to two-thirds being knocked out by a poisonous needle from a two-tailed scorpion.
The green color on Zied's body slowly faded, but his face was still ugly.
This battle can only be described as...a mess.
Four level 4 superpowers fought against a level 4 lord, and they fought so awkwardly!
Although these fourth-level superpowers have not cooperated much before. Even if they cooperate, they each bring a group of subordinates to cooperate. There is no such cooperation in individual battles... But no matter what, the fight this time was really bad.
They are all fourth-level superpowers and awakened ones after all! This shouldn't be the result of this battle.
Not to mention brutal killing, instant killing, etc., at least you have to suppress this two-tailed scorpion to fight, right? But the actual situation is that they are suppressed! If Shang Heng's power armor team hadn't taken action in time, they would have been even more embarrassed.
Shame on you!
Normally, it’s okay to be embarrassed, but this time in front of so many people... I lost all face!
A few people thought about it for a while and quickly concluded the reason—no one was using their full strength!
Especially this Zhou Long, his awakening ability is a very strong range control ability. As long as his awakening is used, he can quickly control the two-tailed scorpion. Didn't they just fight whatever they wanted back then?
But Zhou Long did not release Awakening immediately.
He probably isn't hiding his clumsiness, after all, everyone knows this ability. He may simply want to save awakening energy.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t save it—in order to avoid being attacked by the poisonous needle, he hid directly in the black quicksand he created with awakening. It was better to control the two-tailed scorpion in the first place.
Then there are Qi De and Huang Wu. Everyone feels that they must not have used their full strength. However, both of their awakening abilities are passive abilities. Even if they hide their clumsiness, they probably won't be able to hide much.
As for Wang Tao...they can't see it. After all, I have never been in contact with Wang Tao before, and I don’t know much about Wang Tao. They don't know how high the damage of Wang Tao's air bullets is. Anyway, judging from the way the two-tailed scorpion roared after being attacked, it is estimated that the damage will not be low...
After the two-tailed scorpion was killed, a large amount of poisonous mist escaped from its body, covering the area around it.
Bombing with artillery should be able to disperse the poisonous mist. But the body of the two-tailed scorpion may be damaged by the explosion, so there is no need to be so rough. Anyway, these poisonous fogs are slowly dissipating, just wait a while.
Gu Yun came over with people, and they also held a lot of protein blocks and water in their hands.
When they were fighting, their group of third-level superpowers all hid. After all, it was a battle between the fourth level. Although they were third level or even peak third level superpowers, there was still a big gap between them and the fourth level.
Before there were no level 4 superpowers in the Changhe Base, the level 4 lords that wanted to be killed had to either be covered with firepower or use human lives to pile them up...
So they are self-aware. In a battle with level 4 superpowers, if they go up, they are likely to be of no help, so they might as well hide. If they really can't beat them and need a desperate fight, they'll come out again.
However, even though he was hiding, everyone could see the battle clearly.
As for the situation where several awakened people did not use their full strength, Gu Yun could only say that he had long been used to it.
In an environment without legal constraints like the last days, things like lack of tacit cooperation, deliberately hiding things, and not taking full action are all too common and common. As long as you're not stabbing someone in the back, you're a good teammate.
Gu Yun knew that Qi De and the others looked bad because they were not going well in the battle, but another reason was that they were embarrassed in front of so many people. After all, people are all good-looking.
However, Gu Yun found that Wang Tao looked quite calm, completely different from the other three. I don’t know if Wang Tao didn’t try his best, or if he really tried his best...
“Let’s take a rest first and replenish some energy.”
Gu Yun opened his mouth and said.
“Well, let’s go there when it’s safe. I feel like these poisonous mist may poison people below the fourth level.”
Shang Heng nodded.
Others naturally had no objections and took the opportunity to eat something and rest.
Zide was eating protein cubes crazily.
He is now severely disabled, and the poisonous sting of the twin-tailed scorpion killed half of his life. He is the most miserable among them.
Wang Tao asked Nie Siyan to bring some medical kits.
He didn’t want to expose his space backpack, so before he came, he asked Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun to take a lot of things. When needed, he could just take it from their hands.
Wang Tao handed the medical kits to Zide. These medical kits were obtained by killing monsters. The medicines in them can restore 100 blood. He also put some hemostatic medicines that can add 1,000 blood into them. Now this medical kit can restore 1100 blood.
For Zid with 100,000 health, this 1,100 health is indeed not much, but it is a real increase in health.
So after using the medical kit, Zied's eyes lit up immediately.
“Your medicine is really amazing! I can actually feel my injuries recovering... Is this the same as healing powers?!”
Injury recovery is a slow process and generally cannot be felt. The last time Zied felt like this was when he was released and treated by a healer.
The medical kit Wang Tao gave him actually had such a therapeutic-like effect! Although it was not as strong as the healing power, it still surprised him.
If he has this kind of medical kit in his hand, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a wet nurse by his side?
Others were a little shocked after hearing Zide's words. A medical kit comparable to healing supernatural powers? real or fake?
Qu Shilin looked at the medical kit in Qi De's hand with some suspicion. They hoped that the Institute was also studying this aspect and had made some progress...but the medical kit that Wang Tao took out was obviously not from the Hope Institute.
“Mr. Wang, can you sell me some medical kits?”
Qu Shilin wants to buy a few and go back to study them.
“Not for sale. But I can give it to you.”
Wang Tao saw that everyone looked very curious, so he smiled and gave several medical kits to each of them.
This kind of medical kit adds too little health now, and is considered a eliminated product for Wang Tao. After all, he has his own wet nurse. He has a lot of medical kits in his hand that he can't use up, so he can just give them to others as a favor.
"Thanks!"
“Thank you!”
Looking at the medical kit handed over by Wang Tao, Gu Yun and others did not show any pretense and immediately thanked Wang Tao.
Qu Shilin said to Wang Tao with great satisfaction:
"Mr. Wang, I won't say thank you. I promise you that I will definitely let your disabled brother live!"
…”
Xiang Hongbin is not in danger, he is still alive and well...
Xiang Hongbin: “…”
Wang Tao didn't say anything more and handed several more medical kits to Huang Wu.
Looking at the medical kit handed over by Wang Tao, Huang Wu was a little embarrassed because he had said some bad things about Wang Tao before Wang Tao came.
Although Wang Tao didn't hear it, others did. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he accepted Wang Tao's things?
However, after seeing that others were studying the medical kit and not paying attention to himself, Huang Wu quickly took it.
"Thanks…"
He thanked him in a low voice and immediately walked aside.
"You are welcome."
Wang Tao smiled.
This Huang Wu has always been wearing full body armor, a helmet, and a mask. Wang Tao still doesn't know what he looks like. But Huang Wu is very strong, but this is based on his poisonous passive awakening. Therefore, his strength will not be reflected intuitively, and others may not know his true strength.
“By the way, who killed this two-tailed scorpion? Did anyone see it?”
Gu Yun suddenly asked as if he remembered something.
“I don’t know, the firepower was too strong just now, so I can’t judge. I can only go back and check again, hoping to find...”
Shang Heng shook his head.
Awakening requires a "key". Without this "key", there is no way to awaken.
After some people kill the fourth-level lord, a key will appear in their body. But for some people, after killing the fourth-level lord, the key will not appear.
They don’t know exactly what kind of people have it and what kind of people don’t.
If someone is found to have killed the fourth-level lord and obtained the key, then this person can be regarded as an "awakening reserve". Such a person must be vigorously cultivated by various forces!
But Shang Heng couldn't find out who killed the two-tailed scorpion for a while, so he could only go back and check slowly. Qide and others all looked at Shang Heng. If Shang Heng was lucky, there might be an awakened person in his army.
Of course, this probability is not high. After all, obtaining the key is only one of the known conditions for awakening. There are many unknown conditions that will follow... It is very difficult to become an awakened person! And it’s not certain whether anyone got the key...
But no matter what, this advantage was indeed taken by Shang Heng, and everyone was still a little envious.
Perhaps Gu Yun felt that Wang Tao had just come to Changhe Base and didn't know much about these things, so he gave Wang Tao a brief explanation.
When Wang Tao heard these words, his face looked a little strange.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand, it’s that he understands it too well!
Wang Tao also roughly understands the understanding of awakening at Changhe Base—
Except for Wang Tao himself, no one else can see the attributes, and naturally there is no way to see the hidden attributes.
Perhaps some people will discover something magical about themselves or others, but they don’t think about it as an awakening. They only know one "key to awakening".
So now they have two views on awakening.
One kind of belief is that awakening is random, and people with good luck can get the key and are qualified for awakening.
The other type of people think that there are certain rules for people who can awaken, but they haven't found this rule yet.
Wang Tao knows that awakening is indeed regular - it requires hidden attributes. But they obviously don't know...
At the same time, Wang Tao also heard a piece of news from Gu Yun that he himself did not know - when a person without hidden attributes kills a fourth-level lord, he will not obtain the awakening key, which is equivalent to killing in vain.
No one around Wang Tao has killed the fourth-level lord zombie, and Wang Tao has not communicated with other people, so he does not know this information.
After thinking for a while, Wang Tao said:
“I happen to have done some research on awakening…”
"oh?"
Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone looked over.
Wang Tao is an awakened person. He said that he has researched on awakening, so what he said should be based on evidence, so they all valued it.
“I wonder if you have carefully observed yourself when you are awakening? For example, do you know how you awaken?”
Wang Tao asked.
…”
The three of Zide looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time.
Some of them are confused in their awakening, and some of them have absorbed the experience of their predecessors and understood some things, but their predecessors did not know much, so they are still confused.
Awakening is something that happens in that moment. They have only experienced it once, so they can’t explain it clearly.
Even the Hope Research Institute has not conducted in-depth research on awakening. They would like to catch an awakened person to study and study it, but everyone is already awakened, who wants to be a guinea pig...
Wang Tao saw a few people shaking their heads, and immediately frowned and said:
“Don’t you understand at all? Don’t you know that when you awakened, there was an ability that was integrated into the awakening? There is just one less ability. This should be easy to find, right?”
"Huh? The superpower is integrated into Awakening? Is it true or false?"
Zide and the other three were shocked.
"One less power is not the price to pay for awakening... But when you say this, it seems possible! I lose a passive power that increases my physical fitness, and my awakening is equivalent to increasing my physical fitness. But The attributes that my ability increased were very small, almost negligible, while my awakening increased a lot, so I didn’t connect the two..."
Zide was a little confused.
Some things are not difficult to understand, but if you don’t find the right idea, you may not be able to figure it out. Wang Tao just mentioned it, and Qi De felt that this was what happened!
Zhou Long and Huang Wu frowned at first, and then there was a look of surprise on their faces.
They thought about their situation carefully, and it seemed that it was almost the same as what Wang Tao said!
The two of them did not speak, but their expressions were not concealed and others could observe it—Wang Tao seemed to be right!
So, everyone looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
Awakening is a very unfamiliar word to most people. Even they, their understanding of awakening is very shallow. In addition, there are relatively few awakened people and few samples, so it is impossible to conduct systematic research... so the research on awakening is very slow.
Hearing that Wang Tao seemed to have researched on awakening, and looking at the looks of the other three awakened people, Wang Tao seemed to be right, and everyone was instantly excited!
If they can really figure out what awakening is, will they also have a chance to awaken? Do the hundreds of thousands of people in Changhe Base also have a chance to awaken?
"It seems that you have confirmed what I said." Wang Tao nodded with a smile, and then said, "Maybe it's because I'm good at observation. When I woke up, I discovered a lot of things, and then after some speculation and verification …I’ve probably summarized some of the rules of awakening.”
“Rule!”
The eyes of everyone burst out with light.
Is awakening really regular?
“I think there are probably three conditions needed to awaken.”
“The first condition is that your own strength has reached the peak of the third level. Everyone must know this condition. Killing zombies and monsters can increase your strength, so I won’t say more.”
“The second condition is that all your abilities have been upgraded to the fourth level. Everyone should know this, right? Don’t know? Well, this is also one of the conditions.”
"The third condition, which I think is the most important, is that you have an ability that is different from ordinary people! What this ability is, I can't quite describe... I call it a 'hidden attribute'. As long as you have With hidden attributes, you can only obtain the 'Awakening Key' when you kill the fourth-level lord!"
"And awakening is to fuse these three conditions - your own strength, a random full-level ability, and your hidden ability, all together! If the fusion is successful, it is awakening. If the fusion fails, your strength It will drop a little, and you need to continue killing zombies. Your awakening key has disappeared, but your abilities and hidden attributes are still there..."
“Of course, I’m not necessarily right. If you have a chance, you can verify it...”
After Wang Tao finished speaking, Qu Shilin personally handed Wang Tao a glass of water.
"Thanks."
Wang Tao happened to be thirsty and drank it all in one gulp.
“I have to thank you!”
Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
She could not tell whether what Wang Tao said was true or false for the time being. But judging from the expressions of Qi De and others, Qu Shilin thinks it makes sense.
Assuming what Wang Tao said is correct, then this is very valuable knowledge for her and others!
Even if we can’t make them awaken, we can at least let them know how awakening occurs! With the support of Wang Tao's theory, and based on this "law", they might be able to have more awakened people appear!
Wang Tao smiled after hearing Qu Shilin's words.
What he said is true, he just expressed it in a slightly different way.
If someone really follows what he said - find a few people with hidden attributes and let them upgrade to the third level peak, with all abilities at full level. Then kill the fourth-level lord and obtain the awakening key. Then some of these people must be able to awaken. After all, the probability of successful awakening for the first time is 50%...
For Wang Tao, it is just a matter of words for him to tell these things, and he will not lose anything. But if many awakened people appear because of his words, that is definitely what he wants to see. After all, the more awakened humans are, the greater the probability of surviving in the apocalypse.
Although currently, Changhe Base is very safe. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
And now that there are flying zombies, it feels like Changhe Base is not as safe as before...
Everyone is digesting Wang Tao's words. Mainly because of this hidden attribute. According to Wang Tao, people with hidden attributes are the seeds of awakening! It would be great if there was a way to discover this hidden property...
At this time, Gu Yun reminded:
“The poisonous mist of the two-tailed scorpion disappeared.”
Everyone came to their senses immediately.
What Wang Tao said needs to be studied carefully in the future. And now, it’s time to check out the loot!
After Wang Tao saw the body of the two-tailed scorpion, he suddenly whispered to Gu Yun:
“Give me that iron beetle.”
Wang Tao didn’t take the iron beetle weapon and asked Gu Yun to keep it.
Gu Yun immediately waved and took out the Iron Scarab from one of his subordinates' suitcases. Then he asked with some confusion:
“You are…”
“Didn’t I say before that it still has a very powerful function, but the conditions are not enough for the moment. Now...the conditions are enough.”
