Chapter 261: Chapter 139 Overall Base Strength Enhancement-!

“What’s the matter?”

Han Rui asked, somewhat puzzled.

“It’s nothing…”

Wang Tao shook his head, not voicing the outrageous thought that had crossed his mind.

Although it was a possibility, there was no need to mention it now. Later on, he would have to find an opportunity to come back and probe the reality of that green-eyed zombie…

On their way back, they came across another destroyed street.

“The gorilla zombie has been here!”

Everyone’s mood turned a bit heavy.

Based on the frequency of the gorilla zombie’s destruction, it felt like it would find Shuize Base very soon!

With several hundred people at Shuize Base, hiding was not an option. Once discovered by the gorilla zombie, it definitely wouldn’t let things slide…

They had to get stronger, much stronger!

There were no complications on their return trip, and they smoothly made it back to the base.

In the meeting room, Wang Tao shared with everyone the encounter he had in the hospital’s basement level.

When they heard that Wang Tao could kill a dozen or even dozens of elite zombies with a casual strike, and that the zombies didn’t even resist, everyone felt a bit envious. That sounded exhilarating!

However, when Wang Tao mentioned the pair of green eyes he saw on the second basement floor, everyone instinctively shuddered.

They all felt that the reason why those elite zombies had become so stupefied might be related to the owner of those eyes!

If Wang Tao and Han Rui hadn’t left in time, would they have become as dull as those zombies?

The thought was terrifying!

“So, does that mean we shouldn’t go to the hospital anymore?”

Xiang Hongbin felt somewhat regretful.

Apart from the hospital having so many elite zombies, finding elite zombies in other places would be a time-consuming effort.

Wang Tao pondered for a moment and said:

“That’s not necessarily the case… The zombie in the basement of the hospital must have been there for a while, at least by the time the gorilla zombie arrived, it had probably already existed. We’ve hunted many elite zombies there since then, and it never showed up. So, it’s possible that it doesn’t want to, or cannot come out? Of course, this is just my speculation. How it actually is, we’ll need to observe further. For the time being, let’s avoid going to the hospital. I’ll investigate thoroughly when I go back.”

Throughout the journey, Wang Tao was preoccupied with the thought of the green-eyed zombie with 15,000 HP in the hospital basement.

Based on the current situation, there were only four Level 2 zombies in Shuize County.

Zombie Shao Yong had been killed by him, and he had also killed the hooded zombie. Now, only the gorilla zombie and the green-eyed zombie beneath the hospital remained.

If he could kill these two Level 2 zombies, then it was highly likely that Wang Tao could achieve Level 2 Ascension!

But the problem was, if Wang Tao couldn’t reach Level 2 Ascension, then he wouldn’t be able to kill these two Level 2 zombies!

It seemed to have become a deadlock.

However, Wang Tao didn’t lose heart. After all, they had managed to kill the hooded zombie, a group of Level 1 individuals. So, defeating the green-eyed zombie in the hospital and the gorilla zombie outside was not entirely impossible…

The topic of the green-eyed zombie was temporarily put aside, and next came the issue of crystal cores.

On the way back, Wang Tao had fused all the crystal cores that could be merged. Now, he took out all of these crystal cores.

“Wow! So many crystal cores!”

Upon seeing the crystal cores that Wang Tao brought out, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

“Take whatever you need, and then leave some for cultivating the ability users of the base,”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Initially, Wang Tao thought about telling them not to rush into fusing other crystal cores, as advancing to Level 2 might require many ascension crystal cores, which could be troublesome.

But after killing the hooded zombie, clashing with the gorilla zombie, and seeing the green-eyed zombie in the hospital basement, Wang Tao felt it wasn’t a matter of whether they could reach Level 2 Ascension, but whether they could withstand an attack from the gorilla zombie if it arrived at the base right now.

Therefore, they had to enhance their strength as much as possible! It would be best to bring everyone to their pinnacle state! That way, their chances against the gorilla zombie would be greater in the future!

Naturally, everyone understood Wang Tao’s reasoning and nodded in agreement. There was really no time to think about anything else at this time.

After distributing the crystal cores to everyone, Wang Tao went to visit Lu Gang.

“You’re here, how was today’s haul?”

When Lu Gang, lying in the hospital bed, saw Wang Tao coming, he immediately tried to sit up, and Chen Zhuang quickly went over to support him.

“Not bad, got quite a few crystal cores. How’s your injury?”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Lu Gang was still injured, so Wang Tao didn’t mention the Level 2 zombie in the hospital to him.

“Haha, I’m fine! I feel like I could recover in just three to five days!”

Lu Gang laughed heartily.

Wang Tao shook his head. Recovering in three to five days was definitely not possible, as one of his ribs was broken. Although Chen Zhuang had set it, it still wouldn’t heal that quickly.

But Lu Gang was recovering quite well. After all, Wang Tao had used a lot of medical kits on him, not only saving his life but also substantially increasing his HP.

He had now recovered to over 3000 HP. Although he was lying in the hospital bed, if he got up to fight, his combat power wouldn’t be weak.

“I’ve got some more crystal cores here…”

Wang Tao gave Lu Gang some crystal cores. Lu Gang’s Precision Shooting and Sprint were already at max level, but he could fuse two types of crystal cores. He had previously told Wang Tao that he was particularly interested in Throwing Master and Stealth Ability.

Wang Tao now gave him the crystal cores for Throwing Master and Stealth.

“Wow! So many purple, red, and even orange crystal cores!”

Lu Gang’s face lit up with excitement; with these crystal cores, his strength would jump up significantly!
