BXBX NOVEL Chapter 270 - 142 Purification, Cleansing Potion 1
Once the mobile phone had charged, it automatically powered on.
The screensaver displayed a young father, taking a selfie with his adorable daughter in his arms.
Wang Tao looked at this picture and fell into a brief silence.
Han Rui also finished the diary and let out a sigh.
Clearly, the Level 2 Zombie that Wang Tao had just killed was likely the protagonist of this diary. And the little zombie in the room was his daughter.
Wang Tao glanced at the stack of neatly organized paper documents beside him. These were the expert’s research findings on the zombie virus.
There was a sentence added above—
“These are mostly useless things; if you find any use for them, then just take them. Consider it… as my thanks to you.”
Wang Tao collected all the documents, knowing that he himself couldn’t understand or use them, but maybe someone else could.
As for the little girl zombie… it was already beyond saving.
Wang Tao picked up the hand crossbow and fired an arrow straight into its glabella.
Whiz—
[-500]
[0/500]
This was probably the most dignified way to die for a zombie.
Wang Tao shook his head.
“Huh?”
The small package dropped by the little zombie turned out to be a set of clothing.
(Received: Red and White JK Uniform Set xl]
What’s there to say, the clothes were indeed quite pretty. But for now, they were useless.
Wang Tao didn’t pay much attention to it and said to Han Rui:
“It seems there’s no direct passage to the outside from here. Let’s wait a while and rest up. I guess those Mad Demon Zombies won’t stay here for long…”
They had already searched the third sublevel, which was very safe.
“Okay.”
Han Rui nodded wearily. She had just defended against so many zombies by herself and had used all her strength to activate Perception, which was very draining on her energy and mana.
Wang Tao sat down carelessly and handed a few bottles of nutrient fluid to Han Rui. After she took them, she sat down next to Wang Tao, leaned her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes for a brief rest.
Wang Tao was tired too, but not sleepy; he hadn’t had time to inspect his spoils of war closely yet.
He took out a Red Crystal Core, which he had extracted from the skull of a Green-eyed Zombie.
[Level 2 Crystal Core ■ Healing Light]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side Effects: First fusion reduces HP by 5,000, subsequent fusions reduce HP by 1,000)]
[Healing Light: Consumes energy to create a healing energy field which restores HP every second within its range.]
Previously, when Wang Tao saw that Green-eyed Zombie release the green light circle, he thought it was some kind of attacking ability and got quite a shock.
He never expected it to be a healing ability, and moreover, an area-of-effect healing ability! Such a divine skill!
No wonder he and Han Rui hadn’t been harmed at all; no wonder he felt the zombie wasn’t that strong. It turned out to be a healer dad zombie…
The side effects of this ability were considerable though—the first fusion would directly reduce his HP by 5,000!
Their HP maxed out at 4,999, so if they were to fuse with it, they would likely die on the spot, even owing an extra point of blood.
Of course, they couldn’t fuse with it now since it was a Level 2 Crystal Core. But even after becoming Level Two and having increased HP, the side effect of losing 5,000 HP at once was too severe. HP was linked to one’s life force, and in a sense, the loss equated to losing life!
Generally speaking, the stronger the side effects, the stronger the ability. With such significant side effects, one could imagine how powerful the healing effect must be!
Unfortunately, Wang Tao only had this one Crystal Core and couldn’t eliminate the side effects through synthesis…
Wang Tao put away the Crystal Core and took out a pair of green eyes.
After storing them in his Space Backpack, all traces of blood on them disappeared. These green eyes didn’t have the horror associated with real human eyeballs. Instead, they were as clear and gleaming as jade, quite beautiful to look at.
[Night Vision Eyes: These eyes possess a certain level of Night Vision Ability and can be merged with humans. After fusion: Night Vision Ability +1, Vision +1 (Note: Fusing a single eye produces no effect.)]
Merge? Could it be like fusing a Zombie Core, putting it directly in the mouth?
Wang Tao frowned slightly but was also somewhat eager to try.
The eye was clean, free of any blood or debris… After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao placed it in his mouth.
He would try it out and if it didn’t work, no harm done.
As soon as he put the two eyes in his mouth, they seemed to turn into gas, the same sensation as when fusing a Crystal Core. However, unlike the Crystal Core Energy which spread throughout his limbs, these headed straight for his eyes.
“Hiss-”
Wang Tao suddenly shuddered; his eyes felt incredibly cool and the fatigue vanished, leaving a very comfortable sensation. His vision also improved, now able to see fine details of scratches on the wooden table leg!
Regarding the Night Vision ability, since the room had lights on and was quite bright, he couldn’t discern that effect for now.
“Hmm-”
Just as Han Rui had fallen asleep leaning on Wang Tao’s shoulder, his sudden movement jolted her awake.
“What’s—ah!”
In her drowsy state, Han Rui turned her head towards Wang Tao; upon seeing clearly, she bolted upright and then backed herself against the door, a look of terror on her face.
“What’s wrong?”
Wang Tao touched his face, puzzled.
Han Rui, relieved to hear Wang Tao speaking and temporarily easing up, pointed shakily at his eyes and said:
“Your, your eyes… they’re green!”
“Ah?”
Wang Tao was bemused; he grabbed the phone from the table and looked at the dark screen.
