BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251 - 135: An Inexplicable Sense of
“Ah? Me? I don’t need that…”
Li Qiu Yu quickly waved her hands.
Han Rui looked at her deeply, without much explanation.
“These past two days, when I come back to the base in the afternoon, I’ll take you around the base.”
Despite being a peaceful base, the dominance of the strong still prevailed within. Not only among ability users like themselves, but even ordinary survivors followed this rule—the ones with the strength to earn more ration tickets could find multiple partners.
For Li Qiu Yu, a weak woman with no survival skills in the post-apocalyptic world, it was too difficult to survive in such an environment. She couldn’t bear to see Li Qiu Yu end up like some of the other women.
Of course, she also had a little selfish reason… Ding Yu Qin had put a lot of pressure on her!
Evening.
When she saw Han Rui approaching her home with big and small packages, Ding Yu Qin greeted her with a smile, although she felt a bit sour inside.
Alas, Wang Tao wasn’t just hers anymore, blue thin mushroom…
Wang Tao saw Han Rui come over obediently and was immediately very satisfied.
“You’ve been busy all day, go take a bath. What are you two standing around for, come join!”
Wang Tao said to the two women.
The two women’s cheeks turned bright red.
The bathroom in the villa was very spacious, with a large bathtub, so it wasn’t crowded for three people at all.
The next day.
Wang Tao went out with Han Rui, Ding Yu Qin, Gao Hua, Chen Zhuang, and others.
The main task this time was to hunt down level 1 elite zombies and incidentally help Ding Yu Qin and the others replenish some HP.
After a busy day outside, their luck was only so-so.
Although they encountered quite a few elite zombies and obtained numerous crystal cores, the crystal cores were of no use to Wang Tao.
But Ding Yu Qin and the others had their HP increased quite a bit.
On the way back, Wang Tao pondered which crystal cores would be better for them to merge… Ding Yu Qin and the others hadn’t merged with a crystal core before, and although their HP was much higher than ordinary people’s, they were actually not ability users.
Wang Tao asked for their opinions.
Lately, with more ability users in the base, everyone was more familiar with crystal cores and knew about the different abilities available.
Gao Hua immediately expressed his desire for the stealth ability.
Stealth ability was, as far as Wang Tao had seen, the strongest survival ability. Once the stealth ability was activated, the effect was like a stealth potion; unless one was very close to a zombie or encountered some special zombies, ordinary zombies couldn’t detect it at all.
“Okay,”
Wang Tao directly gave Gao Hua an orange stealth crystal core that, naturally, had no side effects.
“First merge with this one, and after the merge is complete, feel if you can continue to merge. If you can, come find me.”
“Thankyou, big brother!”
Gao Hua was excited; he was finally going to become an ability user!
“I also want to merge with a stealth crystal core…”
Chen Zhuang scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He was a doctor, usually staying at the base, with no need for combat ability, and he himself did not like fighting. The life-saving ability of stealth suited him well.
“Okay! Then, same as Gao Hua, merge with this crystal core and see if you can continue merging afterward, then come find me.”
“Alright! Thank—thank you!”
Chen Zhuang had wanted to say that Wang Tao could ask for his help whenever needed, but then he thought, considering he was a doctor, it usually wasn’t a good thing when someone needed him. So, he swallowed his words again.
As for Ding Yuqin, Wang Tao gave her a Stealth Crystal Core, but he didn’t let her merge with it right away.
Wang Tao’ s intention was to see if there was a Crystal Core that would pair well with the blood replenishing pack, but he had yet to find one. He hadn’t given up yet, but if he really couldn’t find one, he would let Ding Yuqin merge with the Stealth Crystal Core.
Before merging with a Crystal Core, it’s impossible to sense how many kinds of Crystal Cores one can merge with, so Wang Tao asked Ding Yuqin to wait a bit.
Finally, there was Han Rui.
Han Rui’s Shockwave Ability had already merged with ten cores, reaching the full level of Level 1.
But her Perception Ability was still merged with only one, after all, she hadn’t encountered that sort of zombie since then.
Han Rui could still merge with two more Crystal Cores, and Wang Tao instructed her to merge with one Precision Shooting and one Stealth.
Although Han Rui was capable of Rushing, most of the time she used it as her only skill. Her close combat abilities actually weren’t too strong; she preferred mid to long-range attacks.
So, letting her merge with Precision Shooting was no problem. As for Stealth, it was naturally to give her a self-protection ability.
For a ranged attack Ability User, self-protection abilities like Toughness and Self-healing weren’t as suitable as Stealth.
She just needed to activate her Stealth Ability, and then snipe zombies with a crossbow; the zombies would basically have no chance of finding her. This ability matched her well.
After returning to the Survivor Base, Han Rui didn’t rush to synthesize Crystal Cores, but instead, as agreed, she took Li Qiuyu for a tour around the base to see other survivors.
Li Qiuyu was initially quite happy, but after seeing the survivors at the bottom of the base, she couldn’t be happy anymore.
“In the post-apocalyptic world, those without strength end up like this—and this is one of the better situations. I’ve told you before about the other Survivor Bases, especially Shao Yong’s base. If you were in there… well, I won’t elaborate on the consequences. You understand!”
The next day, the zombie hunt continued.
Today, Wang Tao wasn’t very lucky; he still hadn’t seen any Self-healing zombies. But good news came from Zhen Guo’s side.
Passing by the hospital, he discovered some Elite Zombies emerging!
So Wang Tao quickly led people to meet up with Zhen Guo.
Seeing the Elite Zombies reappear in the hospital, especially several Self- healing Zombies, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Self-healing Crystal Cores were secured!
The group stayed until night, and after killing all the zombies outside the hospital, Wang Tao finally obtained six Self-healing Crystal Cores!
After some synthesis, the final result was two Red Crystal Cores, and one Orange Crystal Core.
Without any surprise, Wang Tao’s “+7” Self-healing power finally became
“+10.” His Mana increased by another 300, reaching 4200!
Wang Tao still had an Omnipotent Crystal Core in hand. Originally, he thought about using this impurity-containing Omnipotent Crystal Core as a substitute if he couldn’t gather enough Self-healing Crystal Cores. But thankfully, he had managed to gather enough of them!
Wang Tao looked at his attributes.
HP: 14999/4999]
Mana: [4200/4200]
[Hidden Attribute: Improved Body Conditions]
[Internal Impurity: o%]
Ability: Level Two Shockwave, Level 1 Toughness +10, Level 1 Precision Shooting +10, Level 1 Self-heal +10!
Not daring to claim anything else, but Wang Tao felt he must be the strongest Level 1 ability user in Shuize County by now.
Whether it was HP, Mana, or Crystal Core level, all had reached the maximum value available so far.
Wang Tao grinned.
“It’s time to hunt that Level 2 Zombie!”
