Chapter 152 New Abilities of Fusion
Wei Zhenguo rubbed his eyes subconsciously.
"One, two, three... eleven second-level zombies! Is this true? Aren't all the second-level zombies in Shuize County gone? Where did they come from?"
When he woke up, he found that there were zombies outside the base. After a brief understanding of the situation, he immediately rushed out. He didn't know where these zombies came from.
Of course, now he is not entangled in the origin of the zombies, but what to do with so many second-level zombies!
Fight?
These are eleven second-level zombies! It would be a miracle if he can beat them!
Run?
Wei Zhenguo looked back at those eyes full of hope. He couldn't run! He was not the kind of person who would abandon the base and escape alone!
And to be honest, it was not certain whether he could run away or not...
"Never mind, let's try their strength first!"
Wei Zhenguo aimed at the second-level zombie that he had knocked away before, and then started to charge.
Whoosh--
Bang!
He hit the zombie accurately again.
"Haha..."
This second-level poison fog zombie was a little dizzy after being hit, but it was not knocked down this time.
Wei Zhenguo took the opportunity to pick up the axe and chopped it down on the head of the poison fog zombie.
Ka——
Wei Zhenguo seemed to hear the sound of bone fracture, but the poison fog zombie was not a vegetarian. It stretched out its arms and hugged Wei Zhenguo at once, then opened its mouth wide and was about to bite Wei Zhenguo's neck.
Wei Zhenguo felt that the arms of the poison fog zombie were like iron hoops, tying him up.
"Ah! Open it for me!"
Wei Zhenguo used all his strength and finally broke free from the zombie's arms before the zombie bit him, and then kicked the zombie suddenly.
Bang——
The zombie was kicked away directly.
Wei Zhenguo took advantage of the victory and chased after the zombie. The moment the zombie landed, he ran to the zombie, then raised the axe and chopped at the zombie's head.
Crack——
Another bone-breaking sound was heard.
Wei Zhenguo knew that with one more axe, this zombie would die!
But at this time, the other second-level zombies had also come over.
If he chopped another axe, he would definitely be beaten up!
In a flash, Wei Zhenguo made up his mind and chopped down the third axe.
Puff!
The zombie was shot in the head and stopped struggling instantly.
At this time, several other second-level zombies had surrounded Wei Zhenguo. They waved their arms at the same time and grabbed Wei Zhenguo with their inky black claws.
Wei Zhenguo didn't even have time to dig the crystal core. He relied on his superb movement to dodge the attacks of several zombies. But one zombie's attack still hit his chest.
Bang!
Wei Zhenguo was directly repelled dozens of meters.
He looked down at the deformed steel plate on his chest, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
Although he didn't seem to be injured, only he knew that the zombie's slap was not light!
Wei Zhenguo felt that the strength of these second-level zombies was not as strong as he imagined, and was much worse than the hooded zombies.
But these were second-level zombies after all, not comparable to first-level zombies! Not to mention that the number was too terrifying!
He basically had no chance of winning!
"Hehe..."
Seeing that there were more and more crazy zombies outside, some even fought with these poisonous fog zombies... Wei Zhenguo knew that there was only one way to defeat these zombies at present-wait for Wang Tao to wake up!
"There are too many second-level zombies, I can't beat them. Hold on, wait for Wang Tao to wake up!"
Wei Zhenguo turned around and said to Xiang Hongbin and others.
Xiang Hongbin and others were also numb. They originally thought that Wei Zhenguo would be able to turn the tide of the battle when he woke up, but they didn't expect that there were still so many second-level zombies!
Even though Wei Zhenguo risked his own injury and managed to kill one second-level zombie, there were still 10 second-level zombies!
"It's not easy to delay. The poisonous fog emitted by these zombies will make us weak and cough. Many people even coughed up blood!"
Feng Mingan spoke helplessly.
"..."
Wei Zhenguo didn't really pay much attention to this matter, because the poisonous fog of these first-level zombies didn't have much effect on him as a second-level zombie. He could feel that his strength was slightly weakened, but the magnitude was small and did not affect his battle. Only the poisonous fog on these second-level zombies made him feel a little uncomfortable...
But it was different for others. The superpowers like Xiang Hongbin were weakened, and others might even be in danger of their lives!
While Wei Zhenguo was thinking, two second-level zombies attacked again, and the remaining second-level zombies rushed towards the others.
He quickly blocked a few moves, then turned back and asked:
"When did Wang Tao start to be promoted to the second level yesterday?"
"It was probably around eight o'clock in the evening..."
Han Rui thought for a while and answered.
It's past six o'clock now, and there are still two hours left!
After Wei Zhenguo temporarily repelled the two second-level zombies in front of him, he turned back and said loudly to everyone:
"Everyone, let's hold on for another two hours! As long as we hold on for another two hours, we will be saved! We must hold on for two hours even if we die!"
The most frightening thing about "persistence" is that there is no exact time.
It's useless to just say persistence, because everyone can't see hope, so naturally there is no motivation to persist. But as long as you say a specific time, such as persisting for two hours to be rescued, then the motivation will naturally come.
Even if some people are already at the end of their strength, they still force themselves to cheer up and fight these zombies to the death.
After all, they have no way out!
"Use all the weapons that can be mobilized, call out all the people who can participate in the battle, just hope that we can hold out for two hours! If we can't even hold out for two hours, then we have no choice but to die!"
Wei Zhenguo immediately spoke to the intercom.
"Ahem, good!"
Ren Jie's voice came from inside.
This is the moment of life and death for the Shuize base. No one can escape. They can't have any reservations and can only fight to the death!
Soon, a group of people walked out of the complex building.
There were men and women, old and young, holding their own homemade weapons, and their fearful expressions revealed a kind of determination.
Ren Jie walked in front with a pistol, and Liu He followed closely with a backpack.
Gao Hua held two axes in his hands, one step behind Ding Yuqin. He showed a trace of cruelty on his face and said:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, my life was given by my brother. Even if I die, I will protect you!"
"Thank you..."
Ding Yuqin was a little nervous, but she didn't back down.
Li Qiuyu, Huo Ziyi and other women followed Ding Yuqin with fear on their faces.
Ren Jie asked these women to listen to Ding Yuqin's orders.
They were not the main force in the battle, but they helped to prepare ammunition, medical supplies, inhibitors, etc. If they were able to kill zombies, they could kill them. If they were not able, they would just do logistics.
Wei Zhenguo had taken out all the things in the base. If they could not hold on for another two hours, he would have no choice.
As for whether they could be rescued after holding on for two hours. Wei Zhenguo did not think about it carefully, because he also needed to give himself hope.
After the survivors came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the zombies downstairs. These poisonous fog zombies and crazy zombies all ran towards everyone.
"Da Da Da——"
However, a group of security forces rushed out of the building and instantly blocked the zombies' steps with bullets.
The green poisonous fog was getting bigger and darker, and the poisonous fog was slowly floating upwards, so it seriously affected the sight of the security forces. They couldn't see the zombies clearly upstairs. If they didn't come down, the bullets would definitely hurt their teammates.
There were many sandbags downstairs. More than a dozen security forces immediately used the sandbags as cover and hid behind them to attack the zombies.
The survivors took their weapons and squatted behind the sandbags. If there were zombies rushing over, they would be responsible for killing them.
In the last gorilla zombie crisis, more than half of the people in the Shuize base died. Now, except for a few people, those who stayed behind basically had more than 1,000 HP. Their physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people.
Although they couldn't kill these zombies in seconds, at least they would not be unable to break the defense. As long as there are enough people and the attack position is accurate enough, they can kill the poisonous fog zombies and crazy zombies in a group.
With the addition of the remaining people, the superpowers who came out to fight before suddenly felt the pressure relieved.
But they had no time to rest at all, because the second-level zombies found them!
Although this poison fog second-level zombie is not strong among the second-level zombies, even Xiang Hongbin and his men, plus Lu Gang's sniper, have a hard time fighting it.
So these first-level psychics basically have no power to resist when facing the second-level poison fog zombies!
In just a few minutes, several psychics were bitten to death by the second-level zombies.
"Ah!"
Seeing this scene, Wei Zhenguo's eyes turned red with anger.
He immediately rushed over and took the initiative to attract the attention of the second-level zombies.
Originally, Wei Zhenguo planned to let others bear the attack of the second-level zombies first, and he and Xiang Hongbin and his men concentrated their strength to deal with a certain second-level zombie.
After all, as long as a second-level zombie is killed, everyone's pressure will be reduced a lot.
But the second-level zombies are crushing against these ordinary first-level psychics. These people have no resistance at all, and they were killed after a few encounters!
Wei Zhenguo can only change his fighting style and be a firefighter. He goes wherever there is danger.
Although this did save a lot of people, there was no chance to kill the second-level zombies.
However, even so, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.
Wei Zhenguo's eyes were red, and he burst out with unprecedented fighting power, and he actually blocked five second-level zombies by himself!
As for the remaining five, he was really powerless and could only leave it to others.
Xiang Hongbin was injected with a bottle of vitality potion, and it was like a last ray of light, and it also blocked the progress of a second-level zombie in a short period of time.
Han Rui and Feng Mingan teamed up to block a second-level zombie, but they were retreating step by step.
Ren Jie and Liu He, with several superpowers, blocked a second-level zombie. Their strength was not strong, and the reason they could block this second-level zombie was purely because Liu He's backpack was full of earth bombs! He gave each person a few earth bombs to block this second-level zombie.
This second-level zombie is also the worst looking one at the moment, with skin and flesh torn all over, and bones on the body exposed. But its combat effectiveness has not been weakened at all. After all, the bombs in everyone's hands could not be thrown at will, and they had to prevent their own people from being blown up, so they fought timidly...
The last second-level zombie was fought by more than 20 psychics.
But these people were still far inferior to the second-level zombies. Even with more people, they had no advantage - it was difficult for them to break through the defense of the second-level zombies, but a random attack from the second-level zombies could kill or cripple them!
"Inhibitor! Inhibitor!"
After being scratched by a zombie, someone ran back while yelling anxiously. The time for the zombie virus to mutate is from 1 minute to 24 hours. If you are unlucky, you will be dead after 1 minute!
Li Qiuyu quickly took out a bottle of inhibitor and ran over to hand it to the other party.
"Thank you!"
The other party quickly swallowed it.
"Uh...ah..."
Then he clenched his fists tightly, his veins were raging, and he screamed in pain.
Li Qiuyu was very scared when he saw the man in pain, fearing that he would become a zombie.
Seeing this, Ding Yuqin explained to Li Qiuyu:
"Qiuyu, don't worry, this is normal. It will be fine if you get through it! They are all real men and can get through it!"
"Well..."
Li Qiuyu didn't dare to look at it any more. She quickly took out a few more bottles of inhibitors and gave them to other people in need.
Suddenly, Li Qiuyu paused - a feeling of being spied on lingered in her heart.
She looked around nervously, but there were survivors all around her, and zombies and green smoke in the distance, so she didn't find anything.
Li Qiuyu subconsciously shuddered and hurried to continue to deliver the inhibitor.
Outside the Shuize base, on the roof of a building. A figure with red eyes stared at Li Qiuyu closely.
...
The feeling of promotion is very strange.
After falling asleep, Wang Tao was in a strange state of "conscious, able to feel himself, but unable to feel the outside world".
It's a bit like a lucid dream - he knows you are dreaming, but he can't wake up, and can't change the dream.
Wang Tao can clearly feel that his body is getting stronger little by little. This feeling is very obvious and very refreshing! This even makes Wang Tao have the idea of never waking up.
Of course, Wang Tao also knows that this is impossible. He only has 24 hours, and he will definitely wake up at a certain time - Wang Tao has a discovery that the longer he sleeps during the promotion process, the more his strength will increase!
And the length of sleep time is related to the fusion of several promotion crystal cores, or the number of second-level superpowers!
When promoted to the second level, each second-level superpower will sleep for 6 hours, which means that you will get 6 hours of strengthening time.
Wang Tao's 4 superpowers are all second-level, so he will sleep for 24 hours!
He also learned that it is not necessary to upgrade all superpowers to the second level to officially promote.
As for why he must fuse 4 promotion crystal cores... He doesn't know, he can only say that he is indeed different from others.
But it's good this way. After fusing 4 promotion crystal cores and then upgrading to the second level, it is the biggest way to improve strength!
If you only fuse 1 promotion crystal core and rush to advance, it's a bit of a waste...
Bored Wang Tao began to study his attribute panel.
Then he found that he could now control the special energy of the gray strip.
He has 5160 special energy, and his superpowers are all second-level superpowers. So whether he extracts or fuses, it will consume 5000 energy each time.
There is no need to think, it must be fusion.
Extraction is equivalent to him changing a superpower, and the old superpower can be used by others.
Fusion means he can fuse two abilities into one! It's like he can learn one more ability!
However, fusion has a success rate, so Wang Tao has to see if there is a chance of fusion. If there is really no chance, forget it.
When Wang Tao was thinking about fusion, a table suddenly appeared in front of him.
The table showed how many ways his four abilities can be fused, and what the success rate of each method is.
[Shockwave + Precision Shooting (10%)]
[Shockwave + Copper Skin and Iron Bones (10%)]
[Shockwave + Self-healing (15%)]
[Precision Shooting + Copper Skin and Iron Bones (40%)]
[Precision Shooting + Self-healing (55%)]
[Copper Skin and Iron Bones + Self-healing (95%)]
Seeing this information, Wang Tao directly ruled out the first five options. After all, the probability was only 55% at most, which was not worth the risk.
And the success rate of the fusion of "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" plus "Self-healing" was as high as 95%!
Wang Tao felt that his luck had always been good, so it should be impossible to fail with this probability, right?
After thinking for a while, Wang Tao decided to merge the two abilities!
As for the primary and secondary, Wang Tao put "self-healing" in front and "copper skin and iron bones" in the back.
Because if the fusion fails, the primary ability will not change, but the secondary ability will disappear. Self-healing is a relatively rare ability, and he collected it with great difficulty, so for the sake of insurance, it is better to put it in front.
At the moment of confirming the fusion, Wang Tao saw that the special energy of the gray bar decreased by 5000, leaving only 160.
His copper skin and iron bones ability icon drilled into the self-healing ability icon, and after a burst of colorful light flashed, a new prompt appeared.
[Fusion successful, get a new ability: Level 2, Level 1 Barrier]
[Barrier: During the duration, it can enhance defense and slowly recover certain injuries (side effects: none)]
Seeing this new ability "barrier", Wang Tao was surprised.
Really combined these two abilities into one!
He only has three abilities now, and he can merge another new ability!
Just as Wang Tao was thinking about which new superpower to merge, he seemed to slowly sense some movement in the outside world.
"Wake up!"
At a certain moment.
Wang Tao suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he found something pressing on his face, and his vision was blocked to a certain extent.
Wang Tao touched his face.
"Broken gas mask?"
He sat up quickly, and found that he was not in his villa room, but in the complex building.
The house was a scene of ruins, many glass products including windows were all broken, as if there was a violent explosion.
"Something happened!"
Wang Tao first took a look at his attributes, there was no negative state, then he opened the door, and heard a sudden "bang" outside the building, as if a heavy object fell to the ground.
Out of the intuition of a second-level psychic, Wang Tao felt that a very strong second-level zombie appeared outside!
Wang Tao hurried downstairs and kicked the door open.
Bang——
