Chapter 113 The Upper Limit of Fusion of a Single Type of Crystal Core

Wang Tao used the intercom to notify Li Qiuyu that he and Han Rui had returned. After all, I stayed with Li Qiuyu for a few days, so I had to tell someone before leaving.

"Be careful on the road..."

After hanging up the call, Han Rui shook her head helplessly.

"What a stubborn woman..."

It would be great if Li Qiuyu returned to the base with her. If he stayed here, he would eventually be eaten by zombies or starve to death... Thinking of such a beautiful woman disappearing, Han Rui felt pity for her.

Wang Tao didn't say anything. He didn't want to interfere with other people's affairs. However, it would be a pity if Li Qiuyu died. After all, she was also the goddess of many people.

When we returned to the Mizusawa base, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Tao looked at the date and realized belatedly that they had been outside for a week.

"You go and take a rest first, I'm going to have a meeting."

"good."

Wang Tao didn't even have time to change his clothes, and went directly to the top floor of the complex fully armed.

He was the last to come back, and several other committee members were there.

After not seeing each other for a week, I can obviously feel that these people are a little different from before.

Especially Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang and Feng Mingan, each of them has 1,000 health points!

Sure enough, only with external stimulation can everyone be more motivated to become stronger.

And they followed Wang Tao's suggestion and killed ordinary zombies first. Otherwise, except for Xiang Hongbin, other people would definitely not reach 1,000 health points so quickly just by killing elite zombies.

"Wang Tao, how was the harvest this time?"

Wei Zhenguo asked with a smile.

"not bad!"

Wang Tao directly took out a bag, which was filled with zombie crystal nuclei.

Several people's eyes lit up, but no one was in a hurry to open it. Instead, he looked at Wei Zhenguo.

Wei Zhenguo's face instantly became serious.

"According to the information from our infiltrators, that underground shopping mall is Shao Yong's survivor base. And the two hunter teams in our base were captured by Shao Yong! But the specific situation is still unclear, and we don't know Are there any dead? All I know is that those people are locked up and our people can’t get close..."

Wei Zhenguo briefly explained the current situation.

"What should I say? Hit him directly?"

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

"No, we have to consider those hunters. If we attack them directly, they will definitely be killed..."

Ren Jie said in a loud voice.

The other party has a hostage in their hands, so they are a bit too cautious.

After all, he has to consider the thoughts of other people in the base. If everyone sees that your base is so unkind and doesn't even save one of his own people when they are arrested, then he will lose the support of the people...

"Anyway, let's prepare for battle first. Since they still keep our people and haven't killed all of them, it means they still want to negotiate. Let's see what they have to say first. Then we can determine the countermeasures."

Wei Zhenguo was also a little helpless.

This group of people was so strange. I thought that after arresting them, they should have given Shuizawa Base a blow or negotiated with Shuize Base. As a result, a week passed without any movement from the other party. It makes everyone wonder what they are thinking...

If you don't know what the other party is thinking, then naturally you can't formulate targeted tactics. You can only say that you are ready for war at any time.

"Okay. That's it for the hunter team. Anyway, it will be over by then! Now let's talk about the zombie crystal core!"

Xiang Hongbin also took out a bag. After he opened it, he could see crystal nuclei of various colors inside, but they were mainly white.

"Huh? You've gained a lot too!"

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

"That's right!" Xiang Hongbin laughed proudly at first, and then said, "But this is not for me alone, but for Lu Gang and I."

"That's pretty good too."

Feng Mingan said with a smile, and then took out a bag.

The number of crystal nuclei here is relatively small, but the color is richer.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Hongbin, who was still proud just now, suddenly turned dark.

The crystal core that Feng Ming'an obtained was obviously of higher quality than his!

Then several people looked at Wang Tao again.

Wang Tao opened his bag and everyone's eyes widened when they saw the large number and richly colored crystal nuclei inside.

"I'll go! Have you stabbed the elite zombie nest? Even if the quantity is so large, how can the quality be so good?"

Xiang Hongbin was a little uneasy.

"Haha, I'm lucky!"

Wang Tao didn't explain much.

He and Han Rui had been outside for a week. With his combat power, it was not easy to get these crystal nuclei. And this is just what he took out, he still has some things that he hasn’t taken out yet.

"Wang Tao, you choose first. After all, you are our number one combat force."

Wei Zhenguo looked at Wang Tao.

"OK!"

Wang Tao was not polite. After looking at the crystal nuclei in the two bags, he immediately picked out all the shock wave crystal nuclei and copper skin and iron bone crystal nuclei.

It's not that he doesn't want other things, but that he doesn't have any use for them. He didn't see any of the self-healing and precise shooting. They probably didn't stay here on purpose, because among these people, Feng Ming'an is still the only one with superpowers, and the others are still ordinary people.

"I want this."

Wang Tao took away a total of six crystal cores, four shock waves, and two copper skin and iron bones.

"OK!"

Several people had no objections.

Then let Feng Mingan choose, Feng Mingan took away all the vomit sticky crystal cores.

He could only use this.

Seeing so many crystal cores here, but he couldn't use them, he felt a little uncomfortable. But seeing Wang Tao had so many vomit sticky crystal cores, he became happy again. If he could fuse all these crystal cores successfully, his strength would definitely be greatly improved!

After Feng Mingan finished choosing, the remaining few people didn't choose, but looked at Wang Tao.

"Wang Tao, please help us see which crystal cores are suitable for us!"

Xiang Hongbin said expectantly.

In their eyes, Wang Tao is a know-it-all. When it comes to fusing crystal cores, Wang Tao must be in charge.

"Okay!"

Wang Tao nodded, and then after looking at the physiques of Xiang Hongbin and Wei Zhenguo, he said:

"I think you two can try a charge crystal core first."

The charge crystal core is still very powerful, it can both run away and attack. This is fully reflected in Han Rui. If Wang Tao hadn't wanted to wait for the self-healing crystal core, he would have prepared to fuse the charge crystal core.

If these two people fuse the charge crystal core, they will probably be stronger than Han Rui, after all, they are both physically stronger. Physical fitness should be a plus in the charge ability.

"Okay!"

Both nodded.

In fact, Wang Tao thought it was quite appropriate for them to use the shock wave crystal core, but he also wanted to use it. At this time, he couldn't be polite, and he must take the crystal core he needed first.

"As for Lu Gang..."

Wang Tao thought about it and took out another blue crystal core from his body.

"This is a precision shooting crystal core..."

"Precision shooting?"

Hearing this name, Lu Gang's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know the specific function, the name sounded very suitable for him!

However, Wang Tao's next words made him entangled for a while.

"The ability of accurate shooting is very strong. During the duration, your five senses will be enhanced and your shooting ability will be greatly improved. But - its side effect is also terrible, it will blind one eye! This crystal core has a 40% success rate. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

"..."

Lu Gang was a little dumbfounded.

Although he is a sniper and will turn a blind eye when sniping, it does not mean that he is willing to blind one eye...

"I personally think this is too extreme. So I don't recommend it, but if you really want to use it, it's not impossible."

When Wang Tao was hunting zombies with Han Rui yesterday, he encountered another police zombie with a gun. After solving it, he got a precision shooting crystal core.

For Lu Gang, if he can get the ability of accurate shooting, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger. But unfortunately, Wang Tao currently only has this accurate shooting, and no one else has it. Then Wang Tao can't synthesize an epic crystal core without side effects.

So Wang Tao himself didn't quite agree, but he still said it.

After struggling for a while, Lu Gang finally shook his head with a bitter smile.

"No, I still can't accept the price of losing an eye. For a sniper, eyes are very important. If I really lose one eye, my strength will definitely drop! Even if I can improve a lot with superpowers, I can't always use superpowers, so I don't think it's worth it..."

"Okay."

Seeing that Lu Gang was still relatively rational, Wang Tao smiled and took the crystal core back.

"If you don't use precision shooting, I think you can actually fuse a sprint crystal core to try it."

"Sprint?"

Lu Gang frowned.

"Yes, it's sprint. Although compared with the charge, the sprint crystal core is not as good in all aspects, it is actually a good displacement ability. And you are a sniper, so if you have this small-range displacement skill, your ability to survive will be greatly enhanced! And as long as you are alive, you can always have output!"

Wang Tao explained.

"Huh? What you said makes sense! Then I will fuse the sprint!"

Lu Gang's eyes lit up.

His strength is long-range combat, and although his melee combat ability is not weak, since he can fight long-range, why should he give up his advantage? So he doesn't really want those melee abilities. But Wang Tao is right. If you don't regard it as a melee ability, but as a life-saving ability, it will be very suitable!

"As for Liu He, I think you can try to fuse a hidden crystal core. This hidden crystal core has an 80% probability, which is basically stable..."

Wang Tao looked at Liu He and said.

Liu He is not a combatant, and he doesn't want to be a combatant, so there is no need to fuse a crystal core with combat ability. This hidden ability has a very good life-saving effect. Although the side effect is to consume double physical strength, he doesn't go out to fight, so the impact should not be great.

Of course, it's actually good for him not to fuse the crystal core. Although he won't have any superpowers, there are no side effects, and it's good to be a normal person.

But it's obvious that Liu He doesn't want to be an ordinary person.

"Okay, I actually want to fuse the hidden one too!"

Liu He was a little excited.

As for Ren Jie, he had already fused the Screaming Crystal Core, but he felt that he could fuse another type of Crystal Core. Wang Tao also suggested that he fuse a Hidden Crystal Core.

But Ren Jie was a little hesitant and said he would consider it. Wang Tao didn't say much. He just suggested that it was up to the individual to decide how to do it.

After several people determined the direction of their fusion, they immediately prepared for fusion. The battle could start at any time, so they had to be prepared early.

Wang Tao left first. Anyway, they all had the experience of fusing Feng Mingan, so Wang Tao didn't need to look after them.

After returning home, Ding Yuqin and Wang Tao hugged each other.

"Wang Tao, you are finally back!"

Looking at the blood bar of more than 300 above Ding Yuqin's head, Wang Tao suddenly felt that it was time to let her increase it... After all, the more blood Ding Yuqin has, the more blood Wang Tao will add.

"Sister-in-law, I will take you out to play tomorrow."

Wang Tao said to Ding Yuqin.

"Ah?"

Ding Yuqin opened her mouth slightly, and after a moment of stunned, she immediately said with a pitiful face:

"Wang Tao, you won't let me kill zombies again..."

"Sister-in-law is so smart!"

Wang Tao touched her head.

"Oh..."

Seeing Wang Tao's unquestionable look, Ding Yuqin was very tactful and didn't say anything.

She knew that Wang Tao would definitely protect her, but she was just afraid.

Of course, she also knew that Wang Tao had good intentions, because killing zombies would make him stronger...

Ding Yuqin had already prepared dinner, and Wang Tao tasted it and sighed:

"The food at home is still delicious!"

These few days outside, he ate nutrient solution every day, and he was almost tired of it.

"If it tastes good, eat more!"

Ding Yuqin was very happy, after all, this meant that Wang Tao was satisfied with her cooking skills.

After dinner, Wang Tao went to the room to fuse the zombie crystal cores.

During this time away from home, he had accumulated a lot of crystal cores, and just now he got a few crystal cores from Xiang Hongbin and others, just in time for a wave of fusion.

Swish——

A flash of light passed, and several orange crystal cores appeared in his hands.

[First-level crystal core·Shock wave*4]

[First-level crystal core·Copper skin and iron bones*1]

Looking at these 5 orange epic crystal cores, Wang Tao grinned.

The crystal cores in his hand were originally not enough, but Xiang Hongbin and others happened to have some, so after taking them, he synthesized 5 crystal cores that were useful to him!

Wang Tao didn't dare to eat them all at once, but followed the usual practice, eating one by one. He ate a copper skin and iron bone first.

After Wang Tao fused a copper skin and iron bone crystal core two days ago, he fused a shock wave crystal core, and now his mana has reached 1000.

After a while, his body felt warm, and his mana increased by 100!

"Continue!"

Wang Tao ate another shock wave crystal core.

Mana +100, +100, +100...

"Huh?"

When he put the last shock wave crystal core in his mouth, Wang Tao was suddenly stunned.

The crystal core looks like a solid, but after eating it, it seems to immediately turn into gas, and it can be quickly integrated into the whole body.

But this shock wave crystal core did not change after it was in his mouth...

"Can't be integrated?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised, he spit it out and tried again, but it still didn't work. His body didn't react at all.

Wang Tao looked at his attributes and saw that among the ability icons below his health bar, there was a "+10" sign on the shock wave icon, a "+3" on the bronze skin and iron bones, and no number on the precision shooting.

Wang Tao had never noticed these before.

"Could it be that a type of crystal core can only be fused up to 10 pieces?"

Wang Tao murmured, touching his chin.

This should be the possibility. If he wants to continue to fuse - maybe he has reached the upper limit and can't continue to fuse. Or maybe he needs a second-level crystal core...

But no matter which possibility it is, Wang Tao can't continue to fuse shock waves now.

He took a look at his attributes.

HP [2650/2650]

Mana [1400/1400]

Wang Tao is quite satisfied with this attribute.

This is the result of his crazy hunting of elite zombies this week. The process was not smooth and he encountered several crises. But anyway, looking at his more than 2,000 HP and more than 1,000 mana, Wang Tao was also satisfied.

Then Wang Tao looked at the orange shockwave crystal core in his hand.

"I can't use it myself, but I can give it to others..."

He felt that Han Rui, Xiang Hongbin, and Wei Zhenguo were all suitable. Let's see tomorrow and see how they merge, and then decide who to give it to.

It just so happened that Wang Tao was going to go out tomorrow, so it was reasonable for him to get an orange shockwave crystal core.

Wang Tao didn't intend to expose the fact that he could synthesize crystal cores, even to people close to him. Including his ability to kill monsters and drop treasures, he wouldn't tell.

He knew the truth that "a man is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure". He was sure that if he exposed these abilities, he would never have peace in his life. He not only had to guard against zombies, but also other survivors!

Therefore, before taking out the orange crystal core, Wang Tao would make some preparations to cover it up, and try not to let everyone think about other things...

As for the other crystal cores in Wang Tao's space, he didn't plan to synthesize orange ones as long as they were not used. After all, he also needed crystal cores to make slime grenades.

After fusing four crystal cores at once, Wang Tao was somewhat excited and full of energy. After taking a simple shower, he found Ding Yuqin lying on the bed.

However, Ding Yuqin was wearing clothes, a white business suit with black and red high heels... This is simply an attack speed suit!

"Sister-in-law, you still understand me!"

"... Hum~"

Ding Yuqin snorted lightly, and she obviously didn't know what would greet her later.

...

The next day.

Wang Tao woke up, but Ding Yuqin didn't wake up yet.

He was too lazy to cook, so he just drank a few bottles of nutrient solution and went to the comprehensive building.

"Brother!"

As soon as he got off the car, he heard a shout.

Wang Tao turned around and saw a man wearing a fine suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and a big backcombed hair, who looked gentle and refined.

"You are..."

Wang Tao didn't recognize who it was at first.

"Brother, I'm Gao Hua!"

The other party ran over excitedly.

"Huh? Gao Hua?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised, mainly because the last time he saw him, he was dirty and had killed someone, and was splattered with blood... He didn't look like a decent man now.

"You are really good!"

"It's all thanks to you, big brother! If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Looking at the sincerity in Gao Hua's eyes, Wang Tao didn't know whether it was true or not, but he still smiled and patted Gao Hua on the shoulder.

"Not bad!" Wang Tao nodded, and then said, "I have something to go upstairs first, let's talk later."

"Brother, wait a minute! I heard that someone in our base was arrested? The one who arrested them was a man named Shao Yong?"

"Well, what?"

This news was not confidential. After confirming who the other party was, Wei Zhenguo revealed it to the hunters in a small range, asking them to be careful when they go out.

"Brother! I may know that Shao Yong! I can try to help you save people!"
