Chapter 108 New Crystal Core, Kidnapping

"Go pick up a group of survivors? No problem, I'll make arrangements, but I'm not sure when we can go. After all, you know, there are too many accidents in the end times."

Hearing Wang Tao say that he wanted to arrange people to pick up the survivors, Feng Mingan said immediately.

The seven committee members have their own division of labor. Feng Mingan is responsible for picking up the survivors outside, and Ren Jie will be responsible after picking them up.

"Okay. They should be able to hold on for a few more days. If they really can't hold on, it can only be considered bad luck for them."

Wang Tao nodded.

He felt that with Gao Hua's cleverness, he would definitely be able to hold on for another two days. If he really can't hold on, it can only be said that he is unlucky.

After talking about the survivors, the next thing is the highlight of this meeting-zombie crystal cores!

This time when you go out to pick up airdrops, you will definitely encounter elite zombies. As long as there is a chance to hunt, everyone will never let it go.

Even people like Lu Gang, Xiang Hongbin, etc., took the initiative to hunt elite zombies. So this time out after the rain, in addition to inhibitors, zombie crystal cores are also an important harvest!

Zombie crystal cores are good things, but they are not necessarily suitable for everyone. Only the most suitable one is the best. So after waiting for Wang Tao to come back, several people took out the zombie crystal cores in their hands. Those who need it can exchange with each other.

Wang Tao now has seven crystal cores, but only three of them are useful to him, namely shock wave, charge and self-healing.

Let’s not talk about shock wave, which is his main skill. He will try his best to collect enough shock wave crystal cores. Anyway, at present, he feels that he can use a lot of shock wave crystal cores and his body will not have any problems.

Charge is also a good ability. Wang Tao has the idea of ​​learning, but he can only fuse one other type of crystal core at present, so he has to be cautious. Charge as a backup.

As for the self-healing crystal core, this is the crystal core that Wang Tao wants most at present. If he can learn self-healing, then combined with copper skin and iron bones... then he is almost an indestructible cockroach during the duration of the skill! Of course, the premise is not to be infected.

The self-healing crystal core is what Wang Tao wants most at present. If he really couldn't find the self-healing crystal core, he would consider other crystal cores.

So he kept these three crystal cores, and took out the remaining four crystal cores.

They were the blue self-destructing crystal core, the purple self-destructing crystal core, the red self-destructing crystal core, and the purple screaming crystal core.

Wang Tao was also helpless with the three self-destructing crystal cores.

But now he has discovered another use for the self-destructing crystal core, which is not as painful as before.

"Oh my god, Wang Tao, you are so lucky!"

Seeing the zombie crystal core that Wang Tao took out, several people were surprised.

Regardless of whether it self-destructs or not, the quality of the crystal core in Wang Tao's hand is high! There is even a red one (80%)! The others are all purple and blue. There is not a single white one.

Looking at themselves... Everyone shook their heads helplessly. The crystal cores in their hands are basically white, with occasional blue embellishments. The crystal cores in everyone's hands add up to only one purple one. There is not even a single red one...

This is really annoying!

As for the types of crystal cores, they are mainly self-destructing crystal cores.

Self-destructing zombies are the most common elite zombies and the easiest elite zombies to deal with - as long as they are alarmed, they will self-destruct in three seconds.

So it is understandable that so many self-destructing crystal cores are obtained.

Looking at the helpless expressions of several people, Wang Tao suddenly smiled and said:

"In fact, the use of these self-destructing crystal cores is not limited to self-destruction. There is another use, and it is very useful!"

"Huh? What is the use!"

After hearing this, several people immediately looked at Wang Tao.

"After the successful fusion of the self-destructing crystal core, there will be no side effects, but it will still increase the energy in the body..."

Wang Tao mentioned it a little, and several people's eyes lit up.

Especially Feng Mingan, he slapped his thigh, and then looked at Wang Tao with a bright look.

"You mean, you can fuse the self-destructing crystal core to increase the energy value in the body, and then release more other superpowers?"

Although he couldn't see the blue bar, he could feel the amount of energy in the body, so as soon as Wang Tao said it, he knew what it meant.

"Yes."

After seeing Wang Tao nod, Feng Mingan suddenly looked annoyed.

"Oh, if I had known this, I would have fused a few more self-destructing crystal cores! Although this trip went smoothly, it was not without danger. In a battle, I didn't pay attention and used my superpowers too much. I felt very tired in an instant, and my mental state was a little unfocused. I was almost bitten by a zombie..."

Hearing this, Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.

"I just learned about this and it has been confirmed. I originally thought that self-destructing crystal cores were of limited use..."

"Then can I fuse self-destructing zombie crystal cores now?"

Feng Mingan looked at these self-destructing crystal cores and felt a little excited.

"In theory, it is possible, but people have different physiques. Some people can fuse several crystal cores, while others can only fuse one crystal core. So you have to see if you can fuse..."

Wang Tao explained again.

"Ah? How do you see this?"

Feng Mingan was a little confused.

"It depends on your feeling. If you calm down and think about fusing these crystal cores, you will have a feeling in your heart..."

This thing may sound confusing, but that's how Wang Tao feels. And when he went out with Han Rui this time, he also asked Han Rui to do experiments. Han Ru did have some feelings - although she was not like Wang Tao who could accurately sense how many types of crystal nuclei she could fuse, she could feel that she could continue to fuse.

So although this thing is unreliable, it is indeed effective.

According to Wang Tao, Feng Ming'an closed his eyes and felt it quietly for a while, then suddenly froze.

"I feel...if I fuse another type of crystal core, something bad will happen..."

"..."

Wang Tao opened his mouth, then shook his head with some regret.

"If that's the case, it's a pity that you can no longer fuse the self-explosion crystal core, you can only continue to fuse the vomiting slime crystal core..."

"Ah this..."

Several other people were also a little helpless.

Feng Ming'an is so unlucky that he is the kind of person who can only fuse one type of crystal core...

Seeing that Feng Mingan was a little disappointed, Wang Tao suddenly said:

"But I feel that the issue of the number of types of fusion crystal cores seems to be related to your own strength. If your strength increases, it seems that you can increase the upper limit of fusion... Of course, this is just a guess on my part, and it has not been confirmed yet. ”

Wang Tao didn't say too much.

Although he can indeed feel that as his strength increases, he can indeed fuse more crystal nuclei. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜But he doesn’t know whether this is because he is special...

After hearing this, Feng Ming'an's complexion improved a lot. He shook his head with a wry smile.

"Hey! It would be great to have a superpower. Many people who want to become superpowers haven't had the chance yet!"

Xiang Hongbin answered at this time:

"But Lao Feng's luck is indeed not very good. This time when he went out, he didn't encounter a single zombie that vomited mucus..."

"Don't worry, there will always be opportunities in the future!"

Feng Mingan said helplessly.

"Wang Tao, look at the uses of these other crystal nuclei?"

Wei Zhenguo said at this time.

In this operation, they obtained a total of more than a dozen crystal nuclei. After all, they had many people, totaling more than fifty people. It was normal to obtain so many crystal nuclei.

In addition to the self-exploding crystal nuclei, there are also some crystal nuclei that they have seen before and some that they have not seen before.

The ones I have seen include: a blue (40%) charge crystal core, a white (20%) shock wave crystal core, a blue (40%) Big Stomach King crystal core, and a white (20%) Copper skin and iron bone crystal core.

Of these four crystal nuclei, except for the Big Stomach King crystal nucleus, Wang Tao wants the other three crystal nuclei.

He has a purple charge crystal core in his hand. If he combines it with this blue one, he can get an orange charge crystal core!

Although he really wanted to get an orange self-healing crystal core, but if he couldn't wait, the fusion charge ability was also good.

Not to mention shock wave and copper skin and iron bones, these are his two main abilities.

Wang Tao got these three crystal nuclei. Although they were all white and blue, he could synthesize them and didn't mind the poor quality.

None of them objected. They had accepted Wang Tao's suggestion before - zombie crystal cores below purple were not used. The probability of white and blue is too low and it is easy for impurities to accumulate in the body.

Then there are the zombie crystal cores that they have never seen before, there are three in total.

Wang Tao looked at the three crystal nuclei.

[First-order crystal core·Sprint]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side Effect: The soles of the feet become enlarged)]

[Sprint: Consume energy and sprint forward a short distance]

The first one is a sprint core, with a pair of phantoms of feet inside.

This crystal core is exactly the same as charge, but the effect is completely different.

Because Xiang Hongbin told Wang Tao that this sprinting crystal core was exploded by sprinting zombies.

The "sprint" ability of sprinting zombies is to sprint a few meters briefly. Sprinting itself has no lethality.

It's not like charging, which can directly kill people.

But then again, the side effects of this sprint are minimal. A side effect of charging is limb stiffness. But the only side effect of this sprint is that the soles of my feet get bigger.

Could enlargement of the soles of the feet also be a side effect?

Xiang Hongbin told Wang Tao that although the feet of the sprinting zombie he saw were larger than those of ordinary zombies, they were not unacceptable. At most, they couldn't wear ordinary shoes and had to be customized.

Wang Tao thinks that the stronger the power in the crystal core, the greater the side effects.

So to judge whether a power is strong or not, you can probably look at whether its side effects are significant...

The second crystal core is a bit strange.

[First-order crystal core·quagmire]

[Quality: Excellent (40%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side Effect: The body will always produce mud)]

[Quirk: consume energy and create a quagmire around yourself]

In this crystal core, there is the shadow of a quagmire.

It was hard for Wang Tao to imagine what would happen if someone fused this crystal core and used his powers.

No, it’s not just when using powers. Looking at the introduction of this side effect, even when not using powers, the body will still produce mud... This is simply a good helper for hygiene!

Judging from the literal meaning, I feel that this crystal core may be the same as the Big Stomach King crystal core. It looks okay, but it is of no use.

Then there is the last crystal core. Inside this crystal core is a half-virtual and half-real villain.

[First-order crystal core·Concealment]

[Quality: Normal (20%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side Effect: Action consumes double physical strength)]

[Hidden: During the duration, hide your own breath and not easily discovered by other creatures]

Seeing the properties of this crystal nucleus, Wang Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

This ability seems pretty good!

If I guessed correctly, this crystal core should have been exploded by a hidden zombie. The hidden zombies Wang Tao killed before did not have much blood and no crystal cores. But the concealment potion will explode.

The effect of the concealment potion (medium) can hide zombies. As long as you don't get too close to the zombies, they won't be able to spot you!

He used concealment potions to avoid several crises.

The effect of this hidden zombie crystal core is large, medium and small. It says it is not easily perceived by other creatures, so it should be able to avoid zombies.

In the apocalypse, combat ability is of course important. But survivability is also important!

For now, this hidden ability is definitely one of the top abilities in survivability!

Wang Tao was a little tempted. If he learned it, wouldn't it be like when he used the concealment potion before, and he could walk around the streets at will? As long as you don't run into the zombies, there's basically no danger!

However, this hidden ability is a continuous ability like his precision shooting and copper-skinned iron bones, so he doesn't know the mana consumption of this ability...

As for the hidden side effects, they are indeed quite serious. Actions consume double physical strength, which means that this ability cannot be used by combatants. After all, if you punch one punch, it is as laborious as punching two punches, which is uncomfortable. This is equivalent to directly halving the endurance.

Of course, for Wang Tao, if he could synthesize a crystal core without side effects, then this side effect would not matter.

Wang Tao explained the general functions and side effects of these three zombie crystal cores.

After listening to this, several people looked a little strange.

Sprinting on this crystal core is quite satisfactory. The ability is not strong, but the side effects are not big, and it is purple, so you can try fusion.

Quagmire is a bit hard to understand. Whether it is strong or not depends on the actual situation. If we only look at the quagmire zombie, it doesn't seem to be very strong - this is the zombie that Xiang Hongbin encountered. He was in a small quagmire at that time. Although Xiang Hongbin couldn't get through, he stabbed the zombie to death with a spear. No injuries throughout.

As for this hidden crystal core, several people's eyes were a little bright.

The ability to hide is pretty good!

Although this side effect is weakened for combatants, for collectors, it is definitely super strengthened. After all, there are still many people who are timid. They don’t want to risk killing zombies. They just want to steal supplies secretly...

Of course, it is also a life-saving skill at critical moments. For example, if people like Ren Jie and Liu He have little fighting ability, their self-protection ability will be greatly improved if they have concealment powers.

Wang Tao explained the screaming crystal core he had obtained to several people. Others shook their heads about this power, but Ren Jie was very interested.

The side effect of this is that I cannot speak softly and usually speak in a loud voice. This is indeed somewhat fatal in the apocalypse. But for him, he doesn't go out and stays in the base every day. A louder voice will not have any impact, and it will even make him more powerful!

If he really goes out in the future, the worst he can do is shut up and stop talking... As for his screaming ability, he just doesn't need it.

"Do you want to fuse this crystal core?"

Wei Zhenguo looked at Ren Jie strangely.

"Ahem, I have some ideas. I also want to feel what it's like to be a superpower."

Wei Zhenguo looked at Wang Tao, and Wang Tao directly handed over the crystal core.

"It's okay if you want to use it naturally, but you have to think about it. After using it, you won't be able to whisper."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not going out. Even if I go out, the worst I can do is not talk."

Ren Jie chuckled.

The most valuable thing about him is his self-awareness.

When he had the opportunity to compete for county magistrate, he felt it was a bit dangerous, so he decisively gave up. As a result, none of the people who competed for county magistrate came out well. Except for him, everyone else was replaced.

It's the end of the world now, and at the age of fifty or sixty, he can still kill a ghost zombie.

He has positioned himself very accurately as the one who manages the base. If not necessary, he can stay in the base for the rest of his life!

So he simply wanted to experience the feeling of being a superpower, and the rest didn't matter. After all, he can accept the side effects of this screaming crystal core...

As for the remaining self-destructing crystal cores, everyone looked at them with envy, but no one dared to use them.

Originally, after Wang Tao finished talking about the role of the self-destructive crystal core, everyone wanted to fuse a self-destructive crystal core.

It turned out that Feng Ming'an could only fuse one crystal core for the time being... This made everyone afraid to fuse the self-destructing crystal core. If the fusion is successful, but they are unlucky and can only fuse one type of crystal core, then they will have no choice but to become self-destructors...

"Don't be discouraged, everyone, we will focus on searching for supplies and hunting elite zombies next. As long as we kill enough zombies, we will definitely become a superpower!"

Wei Zhenguo said loudly.

"That's right! Damn it, I don't believe I can't become a superpower!"

Xiang Hongbin hammered the table angrily.

Wang Tao saw that no one wanted his crystal core, so he took it back. He thought that he would have to hunt some elite zombies in the future. The types of crystal cores he could fuse had basically reached the upper limit, but the others had not yet become superpowers, so the progress was a bit slow...

Wang Tao didn't care about Ren Jie fusing zombie crystal cores. Now everyone had experience, so there was no need to worry.

Wang Tao was about to go to Han Rui. Yesterday he said that he would give Han Rui a part of the spoils, so he had to do what he said. He prepared some food and inhibitors. These zombie crystal cores were not suitable for Han Rui.

But as soon as he went downstairs, he saw someone running up in a hurry.

"Commissioner Wang!"

The man saw Wang Tao and immediately said anxiously:

"Commissioner Wang, something happened! There are two teams of hunters staying overnight in our base. They were supposed to be back this morning, but just now they heard a stranger's voice on the intercom, saying that they were kidnapped! They want us to exchange zombie crystal cores for people!"
