Chapter 392 Returning to the city again
“The suspected sixth-level zombie is…”
Wen Guocheng explained quickly.
After hearing what he said, Wang Tao touched his chin and fell into thought.
It was a very thin zombie, surrounded by a group of tall zombies. They couldn't see clearly what it looked like because it was too far away.
But when the zombie turned back, they all felt trembling all over while watching the surveillance!
They have seen fifth-level lord zombies from surveillance before. This is different from the impression given to them by fifth-level lords, so Wen Guocheng suspected that it was a sixth-level lord zombie.
“Could it be a disaster-level zombie?”
Ding Yuqin suddenly spoke.
"Probably not. I have seen disaster-level zombies and monsters, and they all have one common characteristic - being alone. Because they themselves are disasters, all living creatures around them will suffer. So this may really be a sixth-level lord. …”
Wang Tao's face looked a little unsightly.
If it is really a sixth-level zombie, this zombie will evolve too fast!
He has only killed a fifth-level lord, and he is also a night demon with great weaknesses.
That giant eagle, because it is quite special, has the [Giant] awakening with almost unlimited growth, and can also fly, Wang Tao will definitely not be able to defeat it.
As for the ordinary fifth-level lord zombies, Wang Tao has never fought them because there are too many of them. If it weren't for those younger brothers, Wang Tao should have a chance of winning.
Now, the highest level of human beings should be level 4, and he can at most deal with ordinary level 5 lord zombies, but now there are already level 6 lord zombies...the evolution of these zombies and monsters is always ahead of humans!
"Let's be careful. In addition to the powerful enemy the giant eagle, there is also a sixth-level lord zombie..."
Wang Tao told everyone about this suspected sixth-order lord zombie. Although it was said to be "suspected", Wang Tao felt that it was almost inseparable.
Then Wang Tao asked Wen Guocheng again which direction the sixth-level lord zombie was going. The convoy deliberately bypassed this direction.
Everyone was cautious along the way and encountered groups of corpses several times. However, the strength of these corpse groups was relatively average, and they were all easily dealt with.
We waited until dark, but still couldn't reach the Changhe base.
Wen Guocheng and the others all wanted to find a place to rest, not because they were tired, but because it was dark. After all, the night of the apocalypse is too dangerous.
But seeing that Wang Tao didn't show any sign of stopping, they didn't dare to talk or stop without authorization.
It is dangerous to be with a big awakened person. At least it's safer than if they act alone. If they were to leave the team, they would probably die without knowing why.
“Aren’t you going to have a rest at night?”
In the Jing Neng car, Qu Shilin asked.
She didn’t spend much time in the wild and almost never spent a night in the wild, but she always had a sense of awe for the apocalyptic nights.
“We are almost there, we won’t rest for now, try to get back as soon as possible.”
Wang Tao explained.
He usually does not act at night, but speaking of truth, he acts at night quite a lot. So the experience is quite rich.
Now we can return to Changhe Base in an hour or two. The further we go to Changhe Base, the fewer zombies there will be, so Wang Tao feels there is no need to wait another night. Otherwise, it may increase the variables.
"OK."
Qu Shilin nodded. She just reminded her of her doubts. Naturally, she would not interfere with Wang Tao's decision.
With the arrival of night, some terrifying roars can be heard in the distance from time to time, making people's scalp numb. There were even some tall figures faintly appearing from a distance.
“Night Stalker.”
Wang Tao saw those night demons at a glance.
He immediately asked someone to take out an ultraviolet lighting lamp and hung it around his car.
“Not good! A night demon appears—huh? What is that thing?”
The survivors who were following Wang Tao were very nervous when they saw the Night Demon, but then they saw a purple light suddenly emitting from the car at the front.
When Wen Guocheng saw this scene, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and followed Wang Tao's crystal car closely. He knew that this ultraviolet light could block the night demon!
Others have never seen it and don’t understand it very well, but they are also fools. From Wen Guocheng’s reaction, they can probably guess that these purple lights must be beneficial. So all these people drove over and squeezed in.
What Wang Tao hung on the car was an ultraviolet strip light. This kind of light is very powerful, similar to a high-power ultraviolet flashlight, but its illumination range is much larger than that of a UV flashlight, and it can cover all the surrounding cars.
"Roar-"
Some night demons appeared around the team, and everyone was ready.
But what shocked them was that these night demons did not attack, but stood outside the purple light, feeling very scared. What they are afraid of is not Wang Tao and the others, but these purple rays of light!
“Night demons are afraid of the sun. The sun has ultraviolet rays, so this lamp is ultraviolet?”
Everyone was surprised. This was the first time they had seen this. The purple light could actually block the Night Demon!
Although Qu Shilin had known about this situation for a long time, she was still surprised to see these night demons not daring to come over under the ultraviolet light.
She decided that after she returned, she would research and manufacture this high-power ultraviolet lamp. This was simply a magical tool for going out at night, which could both provide lighting and prevent night demons!
Wang Tao saw that these night demons were blocked by ultraviolet rays, and he was too lazy to pay attention to them. But Wang Tao suddenly discovered that there were fourth-level night devil elites inside.
There must be a Night Demon Lord in the Night Demon Lair, so since there are Level 4 Night Devil Elites, it means there is a Level 4 Night Devil Lord!
If it were just a third-level Night Demon Lord, Wang Tao would naturally have no interest in it. But the fourth-level lord is different. For Wang Tao, this is a leapfrog kill, and a lot of good things will be revealed.
This is a small county town covered with weeds. Wang Tao used his plant affinity ability to sense it carefully and roughly saw where the night demons came from.
“You guys continue on your way, I’ll go see if I can find the Night Demon’s lair, and I’ll be back soon.”
Wang Tao said to everyone.
Their cars are not very fast either. If Wang Tao were faster, he would be able to catch up quickly.
"good!"
Wang Tao left the team with Jiang Shixue and Lightning. Both he and Jiang Shixue have night vision, which is suitable for fighting at night, and lightning can devour the lord's corpse to avoid waste.
As for the movement of the convoy, Xiang Hongbin can lead it. He also has certain night vision ability, which is very suitable for him to perform at this time.
Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue and Lightning got out of the car and left the powered armor behind. Because this power armor has a high-power radio, it can contact the convoy.
The convoy stopped and Wang Tao put on his power armor and walked out.
"Boss, are you going to hunt down the Night Demon? Whatever you need us to do, just give us your orders!"
Wen Guocheng and others asked quickly.
Looking at Wang Tao's fully armed appearance, they felt that Wang Tao was going to kill the Night Demon. Although the night demons cannot break through due to ultraviolet rays, there are more and more night demons outside. No one knows whether these ultraviolet rays will stay on. It is reasonable for Wang Tao to deal with some night demons.
Although they felt that with their strength, they probably couldn't help Wang Tao. After all, there were many fourth-level night demons outside, and they didn't even have a fourth-level one.
But this does not mean that they can really sit back and enjoy the gains. If Wang Tao asks them to do something, they will definitely do it. This attitude must be maintained. Otherwise, if you make the boss unhappy and throw them away, it will be too late to regret.
And to be honest, they also want to be able to help. If they can become familiar with the boss, it will be very beneficial to their future development!
“I’m going out for something, you can just continue to follow the convoy.”
Wang Tao's voice sounded within the power armor.
"yes!"
Wen Guocheng and the others nodded quickly.
Wang Tao really doesn’t need help from people like them.
Watching Wang Tao fight with the Night Demon in his powered armor. Wen Guocheng and the others were all envious - they could only hide under the ultraviolet light tremblingly, not daring to step out, but Wang Tao casually said that he would go out to do something... If you have the strength, you can do whatever you want!
Da da da-
Boom—
Wang Tao made a lot of noise, and the convoy did not stop, so most of the night demons following the convoy were attracted by Wang Tao. This relieved a lot of pressure on many people in the team.
Wen Guocheng and the others were very moved. The boss clearly didn't need to worry about these night demons and could just speed up and leave. But for the sake of these bastards, the boss had to get out of the car to kill the Night Demon... What a good guy!
Wang Tao naturally didn't know that he had been given another "good guy card". He, Jiang Shixue and Lightning attacked the night demons together, and after the convoy left, they eliminated all the night demons that surrounded them.
“Let’s go and have a look over there!”
Wang Tao turned on plant affinity with all his strength. After spending a while, he saw an abandoned factory building.
His plant affinity ability can sense various movements around the factory, but he cannot sense the situation inside. Obviously, there are no plants inside. And given the dilapidated state of this factory, it is impossible that there are no weeds inside, so this is obviously a nest of night demons, which should be filled with the flesh and blood of hatchlings.
Sure enough, when Wang Tao came to the factory door, he heard roars coming from inside, and many night demons ran out from inside.
“This is it, kill!”
Wang Tao opened his power armor and walked out.
Although driving the power armor is quite fun, it still limits Wang Tao's performance after all. He wants to win the battle quickly.
Two people and one dog immediately fought with these night demons.
Facing Wang Tao, who has awakened twice, and the powerful Jiang Shixue and Lightning, these night demons are no match at all. Even the fourth-level night demon elites will be slaughtered.
Wang Tao fought his way into the lair, and there was indeed a Lord Night Demon inside.
But what surprised Wang Tao was that this Night Demon Lord was not a fourth-level Night Demon Lord, but a fifth-level Night Demon Lord with 200,000 health!
【HP: 200000/200000】
【Blue amount: 100000/100000】
【Level: Level 5·Lord】
【Awakening: Strong】
The fifth-level lord is very strong, but unfortunately he is a night demon with a fatal weakness.
Wang Tao immediately took out a large number of ultraviolet props and blocked the entire Night Demon lair with ultraviolet light.
The fifth-level Lord Night Demon can resist this artificial ultraviolet light, but it will still be weakened.
Under so much ultraviolet light, it was directly pressed by Wang Tao. During the battle, Wang Tao tried to use [Spiritual Development] Awakening. This thing is also very useful for the Night Demon. Although it cannot directly and forcibly control the Night Demon like Jiang Shixue, it can disrupt the Night Demon's brain and make its attack happen. Deviation or something.
This fifth-level lord night demon became angrier the more it fought, but it was smarter than ordinary zombies. After realizing that it had been suppressed, it immediately prepared to run away.
Wang Tao has fought against the Night Demon too many times and has long been prepared to prevent it from escaping. There is an entrance and exit behind the Night Demon's lair. Wang Tao charges and instantly blocks the entrance and exit.
"Get back!"
Wang Tao struck Lord Night Demon on the head with a knife. The opponent was chopped away and fell into the cave again.
“Together—wait a minute, let me come!”
Wang Tao originally wanted to solve it quickly with Jiang Shixue and Lightning.
But Wang Tao suddenly wanted to try his "Awakening Fusion Skill·Hell Fire" again.
Last time I used [Catching Fire] plus [Spiritual Development], the [Night Demon Type I] was directly burned to ashes, and Lan Jade Lotus couldn't save it even with more blood.
But at that time, Wang Tao was not that proficient in the new awakening, and he couldn't hold back even if he wanted to.
Now after many uses and studies, Wang Tao has a certain degree of proficiency in the new awakening, so he wants to try it out and see what the effect will be if he uses it again now.
So, Wang Tao rushed directly to Lord Night Demon, grabbed the opponent's neck, and pressed him against the wall.
——
Flames instantly appeared on Wang Tao's body, and his eyes burning with flames looked into the eyes of the Night Demon Lord.
ifies
After the Night Demon Lord and Wang Tao looked at each other, they immediately let out a roar of pain, and then flames appeared in its eyes, cracks appeared on its body, and its blood volume... was directly cleared to zero.
【-32722】
【0/200000】
Wang Tao can clearly feel that in three seconds, it will turn into fly ash.
“Rub it, it still doesn’t work...”
He actually wanted to burn the Night Demon's consciousness while retaining the Night Demon's body... This should be feasible in theory. But now it seems that although he has made some progress, his personal ability is still far behind, and it is not enough for him to use such high-end operations.
Wang Tao was extremely skillful in collecting all the Night Demon's trophies in one second, and then threw the body directly to Lightning.
“Eat it!”
Lightning immediately opened its mouth wide and swallowed up the fifth-level lord night demon.
“Hey, it works!”
Wang Tao was overjoyed when he saw that Lightning's HP limit had been increased.
If the body of the Night Demon is burned to ashes, lightning will naturally not be able to engulf it. Although this Lord Night Demon is already dead, it will be completely burned to ashes in three seconds, so Wang Tao wants to try if the lightning swallowing it before it burns to ashes will have the effect of increasing blood.
And it turns out it works!
This made Wang Tao feel relieved. When he used this move in the future, it would be no problem if he moved faster and let the lightning engulf him. He didn't have to worry about wasting the zombie monster's body.
After killing this fifth-level night demon lord, Wang Tao eliminated all the other night demons in the lair.
At this point, Wang Tao added another achievement to his record of destroying the Night Demon's lair.
“But these hatchlings of flesh…”
The Night Demon was killed, but some hatchling flesh and blood remained.
And Wang Tao still has some unused Night Demon parasite eggs in his hand...
“Come here, if you don’t use these hatching flesh and blood, it would be such a waste...”
Hatching Night Demon parasites with hatching flesh is very fast, and it shouldn't take too much time.
Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue and Lightning to catch some zombies, while he came to the power armor and contacted Ding Yuqin and the others through the radio.
"I have destroyed this Night Demon lair, but there is still some hatching flesh and blood, which I don't want to waste, so I have to wait some more time, and you don't have to worry about me."
“Okay, be safe!”
Ding Yuqin and the others naturally knew what Wang Tao was going to do, but Qu Shilin didn't know, so she asked with concern.
Wang Tao didn't hide anything and briefly talked about hatching the Night Demon.
After Qu Shilin heard this, she immediately beat her chest and looked like she regretted not following Wang Tao.
She wanted to see how the Night Stalker was quickly formed, which would be of great help to her research. Moreover, this was the first time she heard about the Night Demon Parasite, and she wanted to see it.
It's a pity that the convoy has already gone far, and she can't have anyone send her to Wang Tao, so she can only feel sad in silence.
After Wang Tao ended the call, Jiang Shixue had already captured a group of zombies. He immediately fed the zombies the Night Stalker parasites and threw them into the hatching flesh.
There are a total of 4 pieces of hatching flesh here, 3 of which are full of health. Because Wang Tao did not make much noise in this battle and controlled his power very accurately, he did not cause too much damage in the lair.
Only 100,000 blood incubating flesh can hatch fifth-level night demon parasites, so these three pieces of full blood will naturally hatch fifth-level night demons. The remaining piece that is not full of health is where 9 fourth-level night demons hatched.
As for the sixth-level night demons, these incubating flesh and blood cannot be hatched. Even if they hatch, Wang Tao feels that it is too risky, so this is not considered for the time being.
Not long after, the first Night Demon Lord appeared, and it was a fifth-level one.
Wang Tao led Jiang Shixue and Lightning and swarmed up. This fifth-level lord night demon was just born. It was caught off guard before it could figure out what the situation was. Moreover, it didn't have much health, only 100,000 health. It was quickly killed by Wang Tao in a sneak attack. .
Wang Tao didn't use the "fusion skill" this time. He hacked it to death and let the lightning devour the body. Although the fusion skill is powerful, it consumes too much. Wang Tao couldn't bear it after using it too much...
Soon the second and third night demons appeared. Although they were fourth-level elites, Wang Tao didn't mind them and continued hunting.
After a period of time, all the hatched flesh was reduced to traces of blood, which was no longer useful to Wang Tao. Wang Tao ruthlessly killed the hatched flesh. This can drop and peel off crystal nuclei.
Then Wang Tao counted and found that among the Night Demon parasite eggs he used this time, there were 3 fifth-level eggs and 9 fourth-level eggs.
Then 2 level 5 night devil lords, 1 level 5 night devil elite, 3 level 4 night devil lords, and 3 level 4 night devil elites appeared.
In other words, only three fourth-level insect eggs failed to hatch.
This probability is quite high, allowing Wang Tao to make a small profit.
After making sure that nothing was missing, Wang Tao waved to the lightning that had just swallowed the body of the Night Demon.
“Let’s go.”
Lightning ran over wagging his tail.
This time out of the city, in addition to Wang Tao's gains, Lightning also gained a lot. Its awakening can devour the corpses of creatures of the same level to increase the upper limit of blood volume. And this time it devoured many lords, and now it has 180,000 blood, which is the same as Wang Tao's blood.
Wang Tao touched Lightning's head, then entered the power armor and contacted Ding Yuqin, but failed.
Wang Tao is not surprised. After all, without relays, the distance of radio is limited.
Changhe base has repeaters installed in some hidden places in the wild, but these are easily damaged by corrosion and acid rain, so they have to be repaired frequently, and they cannot cover the entire range, so they can only be installed in some frequently visited places.
The place Wang Tao is walking now is relatively remote and should not be covered. So it's normal that we can't be contacted. Just follow the route he planned and chase him.
Wang Tao wanted to make the lightning bigger and run over with him and Jiang Shixue on his back. But Lightning's current size is not that big, and this power armor is not light. Wang Tao can't throw away the power armor... he should continue to drive the power armor. Although it consumes some crystal cores, he can still afford this consumption.
Wang Tao entered the power armor, and then said to Jiang Shixue:
“Come, I’ll take you with me.”
“Oh~”
Jiang Shixue was picked up by Wang Tao and placed on his shoulders. This powered armor is very large, and it is perfectly fine for someone, especially someone as petite as Jiang Shixue, to sit on its shoulders.
"gone!"
–
Blue flames erupted from the back of the power armor and slid rapidly on the ground. Lightning ran ahead of Wang Tao to explore the way, and they quickly left here.
The convoy was not moving too fast. After spending two crystal cores, Wang Tao's radio finally made contact.
“Wang Tao, are you okay?”
“We’re fine, we’ll catch up with you soon. Didn’t you encounter anything?”
“We are also safe. You haven’t encountered any zombies since you lured the Night Demon away until now.”
"That's good."
Soon, Wang Tao saw the convoy, accelerated again, and caught up.
“Boss!”
When Wen Guocheng and others saw a figure with blue light rushing towards him from the dark night, their faces were full of respect and their eyes were a little moist.
The boss has paid too much to help them lure away the night demon!
A moment later, Wang Tao rejoined the team.
There was no danger in the rest of the journey, and we finally saw the high wall of Changhe Base in the early morning.
Finally home!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Changhe base is also manned at night. Wang Tao and his team successfully entered the base after verifying their identities.
In order to improve uniformity, the two chapters will be combined into one and released~
