Chapter 122 Synthesizing 6 Epic Crystal Cores

Seeing that the orangutan zombie seemed to be passing by the hospital, Wang Tao and Han Rui left here quickly.

The size of the orangutan zombie is so terrifying! If he stays here and doesn't leave, even if he is not discovered by the orangutan zombies, he may be trampled to death! Not to mention that this orangutan zombie is very violent and extremely destructive...

Wang Tao and Han Rui ran back to the apartment building where they lived last night, but this time they ran to the roof.

The area on the top of the building is much wider, and you can just see the hospital.

The two of them lay together, staring closely at the hospital and the orangutan zombies that were wreaking havoc along the way.

Wang Tao's brows frowned deeply.

"How did it come here... This place is far away from the old shopping mall!"

This orangutan zombie should be a lord zombie. Lord zombies have their own territory and usually move around in their own territory.

Everyone agreed that the territory of the orangutan zombies was near the old shopping mall. So after returning from the old shopping mall, the base designated that area as a restricted area, and no one was allowed to pass.

But now this is a hospital, far away from the old shopping mall. How could this gorilla zombie come here?

Does it no longer want its own territory? Or...it has expanded its territory here!

Wang Tao thinks the latter is more likely!

After all, according to the information provided by the military, the territory of the lord zombies expands as their strength increases. The strength of this gorilla zombie has obviously improved a lot, so it seems reasonable for it to want to expand its range...

Boom--boom--

The orangutan zombie was on all fours, slapping everything it saw along the way. Countless abandoned vehicles were swatted away by it.

Many crazy zombies heard the noise and ran out of the darkness, but when they saw it was an orangutan zombie, they retreated.

As for the orangutan zombie, regardless of whether it is a zombie or not, anything that blocks its path will be slapped away.

Not only vehicles, but also many zombies were slapped away. Wang Tao even saw an elite zombie that was a self-destructor directly exploded by its slap.

boom--

The self-destructor zombie made a loud noise, and then blew up more than a hundred of the orangutan zombie's blood.

"What a strong defense!"

Wang Tao was surprised when he saw this scene.

The power of the self-destructor's explosion can directly kill an elite zombie, but it only caused more than a hundred HP to the orangutan zombie... This defensive power is outrageous.

"This zombie is much scarier than before!"

Han Rui whispered in shock. When she saw this zombie before, it was not so strong... No one could beat it at that time. Now it is even more invincible!

Soon, the orangutan zombie came to the door of the hospital, and Wang Tao and the two were able to take a closer look at its appearance.

"It is more rotten than before, and bones can be seen in some places..."

Han Rui whispered.

"It must have been exposed to corrosive acid rain..."

Through previous observations, we found that after being exposed to corrosive acid rain, plants may die directly, or they may become more lush. Zombies exposed to corrosive acid rain will increase their blood volume! If people are exposed to too much corrosive acid rain, their lives may be in danger...

The increased health of this orangutan zombie is probably due to the fact that it has been exposed to a large amount of corrosive acid rain. After all, it was not so rotten before.

Of course, being rotten or not does not affect the strength of zombies. Ordinary zombies become rotten and their speed will slow down. But this gorilla zombie is about the same speed as before.

"Roar--"

The orangutan zombie roared at the hospital, and then hammered its chest with its thick fist, really like an orangutan.

"What does it mean?"

Wang Tao was a little strange.

The zombies in the hospital were all attracted by the sound caused by the orangutan zombie. Some looked at it but did not go past it, while others went directly past it. A lot of crazy zombies also came out of the outpatient department building.

Facing these same kind, the orangutan zombies waved their hands without ceremony.

boom!

boom!

One punch at a time, knocking these zombies away. There were even several elite zombies that were directly destroyed by it!

Wang Tao and Han Rui watched in horror. If they had not left just now, their fate would not be much better than these zombies.

These zombies don't have much intelligence, and they don't know that going to the gorilla zombies means they are going to die. They are attracted by the silence and subconsciously go to the place with the sound.

However, those elite zombies seem to have some wisdom and will not be beaten by the orangutan zombies in vain like ordinary zombies. They will also resist.

A doctor zombie in a white coat took out a scalpel from his pocket and threw it at the orangutan zombie.

But those scalpels hit the orangutan zombie, not even breaking the skin... After the orangutan zombie saw the thing that tickled him, he immediately picked up an old car and smashed it at the white coat zombie.

boom!

The zombie in the white coat was smashed flat, and the 3,000 health bar was instantly cleared.

Wang Tao, who saw this scene from a distance, felt heartbroken for a moment. The upper limit of 60 HP was gone. It would be great if he killed him...

In addition to this zombie in a white coat, there are other elite zombies coming, but they are no match for the orangutan zombies.

Wang Tao watched these elite zombies being killed, and he silently memorized the locations of their corpses.

Although he can't increase the upper limit of blood volume or explode loot, he still has the crystal core. After the orangutan zombies leave, he can go over and pick up garbage!

But this orangutan zombie is also strange. It doesn't go into the hospital, but keeps roaring at the gate...

After killing countless zombies, the gorilla zombie suddenly rushed into the hospital.

Then it crashed into the inpatient building.

Crash——

A big hole was knocked into the wall of the building, and the gorilla zombie disappeared from sight.

Other zombies also followed the sound and walked towards the big hole.

Soon, there were no zombies at the entrance of the hospital and in the yard. They were all attracted by the movement of the gorilla zombie.

Wang Tao looked at the corpses on the ground and felt a little moved. But he still endured it. After all, the gorilla zombie was still in the building.

About three minutes later, there was a bang, and the gorilla zombie smashed the wall on the other side and rushed out.

"Huh? Gone?"

Wang Tao saw that the gorilla zombie's blood bar did not lose blood, and he didn't know what it was doing inside. But it was a good thing that the gorilla zombie left, and it went from another way, so they would not meet.

"Hurry, hurry! Go collect the crystal cores!"

While the gorilla zombie left, the zombies in the hospital were attracted by it. This is a good time to collect zombie crystal cores!

Wang Tao and Han Rui hurried to the hospital gate. Looking at the pile of zombie corpses, Wang Tao's mouth was almost grinning. '

Three minutes later, seeing that the zombies were about to come out of the inpatient department, Wang Tao hurriedly called Han Rui to evacuate.

"Let's go!"

There may be some elite zombies here, but it is still troublesome to find the corpses of elite zombies in this zombie area. After all, it is difficult for Wang Tao to distinguish them after the blood bar is cleared. Moreover, the elite zombies in the hospital are not the same as those outside. The appearance of the zombies here is similar, and it is not easy to judge by the external features.

The two returned to the apartment again.

Looking at the pile of crystal cores in the bag, Han Rui swallowed subconsciously.

Wang Tao counted them and the two picked up 37 crystal cores in total!

If it weren't for the gorilla zombie, he would have to kill zombies for a long time to get so many crystal cores.

And among these crystal cores, there are actually three orange crystal cores!

Seeing these three orange epic crystal cores, Wang Tao felt a little dazed.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the first time he dug out orange crystal cores from the zombie's head!

Although the crystal cores he used were all orange, they were synthesized by him using two or even three crystal cores. It was indeed the first time to get this natural orange crystal core dug out from a zombie.

Wang Tao had some doubts before, whether there were no natural orange crystal cores, after all, he had seen a lot of red crystal cores, but not a single orange crystal core.

But now Wang Tao knows that it's not that there are no orange crystal cores, it's just that he's unlucky...

The three orange crystal cores are Throwing Mastery, Power and Long Tongue.

[First-order crystal core·Throwing mastery]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: irritability)]

…

[First-order crystal core·Strong force]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Strength is proportional to body size)]

…

[First-order crystal core·Long tongue]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: moodiness)]

These three crystal cores are quite useful. Wang Tao wants to learn both "Throwing mastery" and "Strong force".

However, natural orange crystal cores are different from synthetic ones. Although the fusion success rate is 100%, natural crystal cores still have impurities and side effects.

Wang Tao will definitely not use these three crystal cores himself, and it would be a waste to synthesize them, so Wang Tao plans to take them back to the base to see if others need them.

In addition to these three crystal cores, there are also many crystal cores such as cough smoke and vitality. Including the self-destruction, shock wave, precision shooting, etc. that I have seen before.

"Do you want to use it?"

Wang Tao asked Han Rui.

Since it was obtained by two people together, she can naturally choose it.

"I..."

Han Rui's eyes lit up when she saw so many crystal cores, but she didn't know what she should want. In fact, what she wanted most was the perception crystal core, but unfortunately, she had only seen that one perception zombie for so long, and she never saw it again.

"How about you help me see what kind of crystal core is suitable for me..."

Han Rui looked at Wang Tao. She trusted Wang Tao very much. She felt that Wang Tao's choice might be more suitable than her own.

"I think you can have another throwing mastery, or vitality or shock wave..."

Wang Tao thought about it and said. In fact, Han Rui is also suitable for precision shooting, but he also wants to use this crystal core, so he must satisfy himself first.

"Then... I want a throwing mastery crystal core!"

Although Han Rui has the ability to charge, she still prefers long-range attacks.

"Okay, but... don't rush to merge now. I'll keep the crystal core for you first."

"Okay!"

Han Rui agreed immediately without asking why.

Looking at Han Rui's unconditional trust, Wang Tao smiled.

He just suddenly thought of a problem-he had never paid attention to the problem of impurities in the crystal core before, he was just more concerned about the side effects.

After all, impurities will only cause problems when they accumulate to a certain extent. Even if there are some impurities at ordinary times, it's not a big deal.

The side effects have long been obvious, ranging from changing the shape to affecting the personality. This thing looks scary.

But after meeting Shao Yong this time, Wang Tao suddenly realized that he could no longer ignore the impurities in the crystal core.

Because the impurities in Shao Yong's body have reached 70%!

If the impurities in the body reach 100%, he will definitely become a zombie. But this does not mean that it is okay if it does not reach 100%.

When he first saw the zombie crystal core, the prompt above said it very clearly-the more impurities in the body, the greater the probability of becoming a zombie!

Wang Tao does not know how likely Shao Yong is to become a zombie with the 70% impurities in his body, but even if there is a 1% probability of becoming a zombie, it is a time bomb! He may become a zombie at any time...

So now we have to pay attention to the problem of impurities in the body.

Wang Tao speculated that the reason why Shao Yong has accumulated so many impurities in his body may be because he has fused too many zombie crystal cores!

He has a full 4000 mana, which is at least fused with 40 zombie crystal cores, and in fact it must be more than that, it may be doubled, or even more!

Wang Tao does not know how much impurities will accumulate in the body after fusing a crystal core... If this problem is not clear, then fusing crystal cores in the future will be terrified.

Of course, Wang Tao himself doesn't care about impurities. He fuses a crystal core with 100% purity. But Wang Tao is not the only one in this apocalypse. He has friends, teammates, and the entire Shuize base. So he has to figure this out...

Wang Tao looked at Han Rui. The impurity attribute below Han Rui's health bar showed "1%". Although it was very little and seemed not dangerous, she also fused few zombie crystal cores. She has only fused 3 crystal cores so far.

Only looking at Han Rui's internal impurities, Wang Tao can't judge for the time being. He has to compare it with the attributes of other people.

Recently, the committee members in the base have become superpowers. He can study it carefully after returning...

Wang Tao looked at other crystal cores again. Among these crystal cores, many of them can be used by Wang Tao. For example, throwing mastery, great strength, charge, etc.

But what Wang Tao is most happy about is that he finally saw a self-healing crystal core!

[First-order crystal core·Self-healing]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Weakened tactile sense)]

[Self-healing: During the duration, it can slowly recover from certain injuries]

This is still an excellent quality self-healing crystal core. Although there is only one, it is enough for him to fuse. Because he just happened to have an ordinary quality self-healing crystal core in his hand. Adding two together, it is an epic crystal core with no side effects and no impurities!

Now Wang Tao doesn't have to worry about what crystal core to fuse, just fuse the self-healing one!

"Go to the rooftop and observe if there are any zombies around. We have to rest here tonight."

"Okay!"

After Wang Tao sent Han Rui out, he instantly put these crystal cores into the space backpack. He had quite a few crystal cores in his space backpack, and now with these, there are a lot more in an instant.

Then he synthesized all the crystal cores he needed at the moment.

With a flash of colorful light, 6 orange crystal cores appeared in the space backpack.

[First-order Crystal Core·Precision Shooting*2]

[First-order Crystal Core·Copper Skin and Iron Bones*3]

[First-order Crystal Core·Self-Healing*1]

Without saying anything, Wang Tao put the two precision shooting crystal cores into his mouth one by one. His body warmed up and fused the two crystal cores. Wang Tao then put the copper skin and iron bones crystal cores into his mouth one by one.

The warm feeling came again.

After a moment, the three "copper skin and iron bones" were also fused by Wang Tao.

Then Wang Tao looked at the last self-healing crystal core.

In the early days, Wang Tao felt that his upper limit was to fuse four types of crystal cores, but his strength was not enough and he could not force the fusion.

Now, his strength is already enough, and he feels that there is no problem at all to fuse the fourth type of crystal core now.

However, to be on the safe side, he waited until Han Rui came back before swallowing the zombie crystal core into his mouth.

In an instant, Wang Tao felt that his body was very warm, no, very hot.

So, Wang Tao took off all his clothes. Han Rui beside him was a little confused. He thought Wang Tao wanted to do something to her at this time. Wang Tao was not such a person. When he was in the wild before, he never wasted his energy to do such things.

Fortunately, Wang Tao told Han Rui that he had fused a new crystal core and his body was a little hot.

Han Rui hurried over to help Wang Tao fan.

However, Wang Tao felt that his body was not as hot as last time, and he was not uncomfortable. Maybe it was because his strength had improved?

After a few minutes, Wang Tao felt that his body was gradually cooling down and soon returned to normal.

Han Rui kept touching Wang Tao's arm. When she felt that Wang Tao's skin was not so hot, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Tao looked at his attributes.

HP [3410/3410]

Mana [2000/2000]

Mana increased from 1400 to 2000! With this mana, as long as it is not a long battle, there is basically no need to worry about mana consumption.

Then there are his abilities.

[Shockwave +10]

[Bronze Skin and Iron Bones +6]

[Accurate Shooting +3]

[Self-Healing +1]

Among the four abilities, shockwave has been integrated to the upper limit, but the other three abilities still have a lot of room for growth.

Wang Tao is not sure how strong his combat power is now, mainly because he is too stable——

If two people can go out together, they will never go alone; if they can use crossbows to attack remotely, they will never go to close combat; they would rather slowly lure zombies than take the initiative to fight a large group of zombies alone, unless they think they can definitely win...

This can't be blamed on Wang Tao. The main reason is that his tolerance rate is low. As long as he is scratched or bitten by zombies, he will definitely be infected with the zombie virus.

Although inhibitors can temporarily delay the outbreak of zombie viruses, they must be used all the time. Although Wang Tao has inhibitors, he doesn't want to make himself a habit of using inhibitors. And using too much inhibitors is not good for the body.

So far, Wang Tao has never let go and fought with all his strength.

Of course, Wang Tao is not so arrogant that he will be invincible if he goes all out. Just look at the gorilla zombie he just saw, even if he uses all his skills, he is still not the opponent!

Wang Tao even thinks that he may not be able to beat this gorilla zombie when it has 5,000 blood...
