Chapter 356： Meet survivors

Chapter 356 Meeting the Survivor

【Fourth level weapon·Iron beetle】

【HP: 50000/50000 (upper limit 100000)】

【Status: Awakenable】

【Amplification: independent attack, armament (health, attack, defense, acid)】

【Fitness: 10%】

Wang Tao discovered before that when the iron beetles devour the Zerg corpses, they will inherit some of the characteristics of the corpses.

For example, the other Iron Beetle in its hand devoured the Zerg that had a certain fire resistance before, so it also gained a fire resistance.

But the prerequisite for obtaining this ability is that the corpse eaten by the iron beetle has this ability.

For example, the iron beetle in Wang Tao's hand, the carapace of the insect corpse it devoured has fire resistance, so it can gain fire protection.

When Wang Tao saw the twin-tailed scorpion and the acid worm, he thought about which one the iron beetle should devour.

The twin-tailed scorpions will release poisonous needles, and the acid bugs will spray corrosive acid, but this is their awakening ability, and they should not be inherited even if the iron beetles devour them. However, the two-tailed scorpion itself is poisonous, and its poison is in its tail; the acid worm should also have acid in its body, just in its belly.

So Wang Tao felt that if the iron beetle could devour these two corpses, it should be able to gain an additional ability.

But the problem comes again. The tail of the double-tailed scorpion can be used to make weapons, which is the poisonous scorpion whip that Wang Tao made before. Although whip weapons are more difficult to use, the attributes of the poisonous scorpion whip are still good. If the iron beetle swallows the scorpion tail, it is equivalent to missing two weapons. The equipment blueprint for the acid explosion is an ordinary armor made from its carapace, and has nothing to do with the corrosive acid.

So Wang Tao finally decided to use the tail of the two-tailed scorpion to make a poisonous scorpion whip, and then feed its body to Lightning. The body of the acid worm is eaten by the iron beetle to see if the iron beetle can gain an additional ability.

Facts have proved that Wang Tao’s speculation was correct. As expected, this iron beetle has acquired the ability of [Acid Liquid].

However, the awakening of the acid bug is [corrosive acid], while the ability obtained by the iron beetle is [acid]. There must be a big difference between them...

Wang Tao activates the iron beetle weapon.

–

In the blink of an eye, the iron beetle turned into a huge "Zerg mecha". Just looking at the appearance, you can't find any difference.

Wang Tao directly entered the Iron Beetle. After walking around in a circle, the Iron Beetle suddenly opened and spit out a large amount of acid at an abandoned house.

——

The whole house was covered in acid, and it also had some corrosive effects, but it was much weaker than the previous awakening of the acid bugs.

And the acid bug seems to be able to spray corrosive acid without limit, just like awakening energy for free. But the iron beetle cannot spit infinitely now. It can spit once in about three minutes... Generally speaking, it can be regarded as a weakened version of [Corrosive Acid].

Of course, this is already very good, after all, it is a free ability.

Wang Tao disarmed himself and then briefly explained to Jiang Shixue and others. They were all very surprised.

"If this is the case, then this kind of Zerg corpse with some special abilities will be very valuable in the future?"

Lan Yulian said suddenly.

“It seems so...but this thing is not easy to store, unless you have a magical stomach pouch. Doesn’t this mean that the magical stomach pouch will become more and more valuable?”

Wang Tao shook his head.

Lightning has devoured the body of the two-tailed scorpion, gained 1500 HP, and grown slightly larger. It ran over and rubbed against Wang Tao. Wang Tao smiled and touched its head.

“When you grow older, I can ride you and run away.”

Although riding a dog is a bit weird, if the dog is big enough, it should still be very handsome...right?

Lightning was wagging its tail wildly.

“Okay, let’s continue shooting meteorites, there are still the last 5.”

Wang Tao took out the second level four epic meteorite. This meteorite was about the size of a basketball. After opening it, a garbage crystal core was revealed inside.

Wang Tao was unmoved and continued to open the third epic meteorite, which contained a fourth-level promotion crystal core. Very profitable.

A monster appeared on the fourth epic meteorite.

This is a Zerg with a somewhat fat body but covered with carapace. It seems to have very strong defense. In fact, its defense is indeed very strong.

【HP: 150000/150000】

【Blue amount: 100000/100000】

【Level: Level 4·Lord】

【Impurities in the body: 50%】

【Awakening: Solid】

【Strong: All basic attributes are improved, and defense power is greatly improved】

Its awakening passively increases defense power. This is the first time Wang Tao has seen this kind of awakening.

But the problem was not big, it was just a matter of high defense. Wang Tao and others swarmed up and took some time to deal with the monster.

It explodes a lot of items, and there is a shield crafting blueprint that seems pretty good.

After packing up the loot, Wang Tao did not let Lightning swallow the corpse immediately. He was thinking about the possibility of an iron beetle coming out.

As a result, the fourth epic meteorite revealed an entity awakening key, and the fifth and sixth epic meteorites each revealed a Zerg monster!

Although we couldn’t get a second Iron Beetle in the end, it’s still good to be able to get so many monsters out. Not only did it allow Wang Tao to obtain high-level special energy and other materials, it also allowed Lightning to reach 122,000 health.

Generally speaking, the 24 outstanding meteorites and 6 epic meteorites opened by Wang Tao were all earned with blood. Although he encountered many monsters, he also got a lot of loot, not to mention an iron beetle...

After all the meteorites have been opened, it is now night.

A few people packed up their things and came to the underground factory.

This is a temporary camp prepared for people going out. Anyone can use it, but it needs to be tidied up after use. This is a tacit understanding among survivors.

The underground factory is quite large, and there is a special passage to drive cars in, but there is still no one inside. For safety reasons, Wang Tao reinforced some traps around him and placed ultraviolet strip lights at the door.

Night is the time when the Night Demon is active. The Night Demon's perception is very sharp, and he may be able to spot a group of people in the underground factory. It would be quite annoying if the Night Demon blocks the door and harasses them. Wang Tao has no interest in ordinary night devils. If there is no night devil lord, there is no need for him to take action.

Ultraviolet rays are something that night demons hate and fear very much. If a night demon really appears, these ultraviolet strip lights will not be a problem to block the night demon.

After setting everything up, Wang Tao began to make all the equipment drawings he had obtained before.

A moment later, Wang Tao got a lot of equipment. Although he can't use it, it can be used by other teammates.

Wang Tao looked at his advanced special energy and found that it was already over fifty. It can increase the success rate of his second awakening by 5%.

Now that the meteorites have been mined, Wang Tao is going to go to the coordinates of the zombie monster he purchased before.

It’s best if you can find a fourth-level lord. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find him. Anyway, he is still pulling a car of zombie heads, so he must hatch some night demon lords, right?

Once these hatched night demon lords are killed, Wang Tao's second awakening success rate should be greater than two-thirds. This is the bottom line that Wang Tao can accept. Any lower will feel unsafe. If he can still fail with this success rate... it can only be said that he has done everything he can. If it is really due to luck, there is nothing he can do.

At night, when Wang Tao and his party were resting, they suddenly opened their eyes.

“Something is coming!”

There are some early warning devices outside this temporary camp. If something steps on these devices, an alarm will be sent to their information watches, which will vibrate violently.

Just now, the watches of Wang Tao and others began to vibrate.

“Let’s see what’s going on!”

Wang Tao turned on his watch and called up several monitoring screens.

These cameras are also in this temporary camp and can be used as long as you enter the camp and connect to the local area network. However, the temporary camp does not provide electricity, so you need to find a way to get electricity yourself. Wang Tao will drop some materials when he kills zombies, one of which is a kind of battery. This battery looks small in size, but it has a lot of power in it, which is enough to use this temporary camp for a period of time.

“It’s the survivors and the Night Stalkers!”

The camera in the camp does not have an infrared device, but there is a moon today. Through the faint moonlight, we can vaguely see a few survivors being chased by a large group of night demons. The number of night demons is at least hundreds!

The direction in which these survivors fled was their temporary camp.

“So many night demons…”

Several people looked at Wang Tao, meaning not to take action.

Now is the end of the world, and some survivors are more hateful than zombie monsters. There is even a saying that "in the wild, you would rather encounter zombies than the same kind".

However, no matter what happens, you cannot generalize. It is true that there are many scum today, but there are also people who are struggling to survive in the last days.

Wang Tao's code of conduct is that if he encounters a survivor in the wild, he should save him if he can if he is not in danger - if he really saves a person with evil intentions, he will kill him later.

"With their speed, they should be able to run over. We just need to open the door and let them in."

Wang Tao opened his mouth and said.

He observed through the surveillance camera that although there were many night demons outside, there were no fourth-level night demons. Let alone lords, there are not even elites.

If there is a fourth-level Night Demon, Wang Tao will definitely take action. Since there is none now, there is no need to go out. Anyway, with the speed of this group of people, they can run over.

"good."

Lan Yulian and others nodded.

…

On the other side, a group of people are running for their lives.

One of the thin men said loudly:

“Everyone, hold on, the temporary camp at the town factory is coming soon! We’ll be safe once we get in!”

The only woman in the team replied:

“But boss, these night demons are following too closely. What if they follow us into the camp?”

The defense of this temporary camp is very tight, especially the two gates, which are large iron gates with mechanical devices, and the defense is very high.

But it takes some time to open and close it. If the Night Demon is following so closely, there will definitely be a chance to get in.

"Don't worry, I will risk my life to block it for you for a while! Trust me!"

The boss gritted his teeth and said.

Fighting with so many night demons will definitely kill someone, even the strongest one. But as long as he keeps the team from being wiped out, it won't be a loss even if he dies!

“Boss…”

Several other people choked up when they heard this.

“Stop talking nonsense, run!”

A few people hurriedly ran towards the abandoned factory, but the closer they got to the factory, the uglier the boss's face became.

“There’s...someone in the camp!”

What he fears most is that the camp will be destroyed and there are people in the camp.

Even to a certain extent, having people in the camp is more terrifying than being destroyed.

Because even if the camp is destroyed, unless it is extremely completely destroyed, it still has some degree of defense. Especially since this is an underground camp, its defense is inherently stronger.

But if there are people in the camp, they cannot open the door from the outside, they can only open it from the inside. And when the people inside saw them coming with such a large group of night demons...it would be weird to open the door to them!

If it were him, he most likely wouldn't open the door. After all, there are hundreds of night demons here!

“It’s over!”

Everyone else felt chilled.

It was about to escape, but in the end, it was still a dead end...

A few people were a little desperate, and they subconsciously looked at the boss.

The boss gritted his teeth.

“Let’s go! Let’s continue rushing to the camp!”

Their physical strength is not very good anymore. If they run to other places, they will die; if they run to the camp, if they meet some kind-hearted people inside - although this possibility is extremely rare, there is still a possibility!

Everyone had no choice but to follow the boss and run to one of the entrances of the temporary camp.

After turning a corner, several people saw a gate leading to the underground. Just seeing the gate, several people were stunned.

“Why is the gate purple?”

“I don’t know—the door is open!”

It was only then that a few people discovered that the big iron door was actually open!

Although he didn’t know what was going on, the boss didn’t hesitate. He immediately roared.

“Brothers, charge!”

The Night Demon behind him is getting closer and closer. The last few people can smell the putrid smell in the Night Demon's mouth. Their faces have a look of fear. Just when they are about to catch him -

—

All the Night Demons suddenly came to a screeching halt.

"ah?"

Several people rushed directly into the door, and then they saw with bewildered faces that the night demons outside just roared in the distance and did not take a step forward.

Looking carefully, I found that these night demons were outside the range of the purple light.

“This thing is...a UV lamp?”

Everyone was confused.

At this moment, I heard the door buzzing and starting to close.

A few people were completely relieved.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard.

A few people turned around quickly and saw a tall figure appearing.

"thanks, thanks!"

They quickly thanked him and almost knelt down.

Wang Tao waved his hand indifferently, and then asked curiously.

“How did you provoke these night demons?”

Those people subconsciously looked at their boss, who gave a wry smile.

“Ahem, we plan to take the risk to take a look at the Night Devil’s lair at night. Don’t they all say that since the Night Devils come out at night, the Night Devil’s lair is not dangerous at night. As a result..."

…”

Wang Tao was speechless.

The Night Demon's lair is indeed safer at night, but that is compared to that during the day. Don’t you know what your own strength is?

But when it came to the Night Demon's lair, Wang Tao became interested instantly.

This lair can still have so many night demons at night, so the size of this lair is not small, right? He still lacks some advanced special powers!

Sure enough, what the boss said next made Wang Tao’s eyes light up.

"It's all my fault...Who knew the Night Demon's lair was so big! It's like a dungeon..."
