Chapter 247 Military Base
no side effects?
He Jijun knew that crystal nuclei had side effects, and he had personally seen many people with superpowers who had side effects on their bodies. But he had never heard of a superpower without side effects.
But looking at Wang Tao and others like this...it seems like there are really no side effects, at least he didn't notice it.
"Is it really possible to have no side effects?"
He Jijun asked with some disbelief.
Wang Tao immediately said:
"Of course, I can still lie to you. The crystal nuclei we fuse are all without impurities and side effects - do you know what impurities are?"
"have no idea……"
He Jijun shook his head.
"If there are impurities inside the crystal nucleus, after fusion, the impurities will accumulate in the body. There are limits to the impurities that can be fused in the human body. The more impurities there are, the more likely it is to become a zombie! When the impurities reach 100%, basically It will 100% turn into a zombie! So impurities are as bad as side effects..."
Wang Tao gave He Jijun some knowledge about impurities.
"..."
After hearing this, He Jijun suddenly felt that becoming a person with supernatural powers would not be so good. Not only does it have side effects, but you also have to worry about turning into a zombie!
"But, I can help you be promoted to a superpower with no side effects or impurities! What do you think, old man?"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Why did you ask me to join your team? I said, I have my own things to do, and I still need to find someone..."
He Jijun did not answer, but frowned.
If, as Wang Tao said, it has neither side effects nor impurities, it would definitely be good. But he was not willing to sell himself out just for this.
Upon hearing He Jijun's question, Wang Tao explained with a serious face:
"Old man, you misunderstood! When I said I wanted you to join my team, I didn't mean to ask you to help me work. We are all survivors struggling to survive in the apocalypse, and we need to help each other. I think you are strong, old man, and you can help Come to me, I can help you too...it's that simple."
"As for you saying you are looking for someone... Changhong is also looking for someone. This does not conflict with her joining my team. We can look for it together! By the way, who is the person you are looking for? What are his characteristics? If not If you mind, you can tell me. If there are more of us, it will be easier to find him!”
"..."
He Jijun was silent for a moment, and then slowly said:
"I'm looking for my granddaughter."
"Your granddaughter? How old is she?"
"10 years old."
"..."
Wang Tao opened his mouth.
Ten years old? If you get lost at this age, you will basically be cold! Wang Tao asked again:
"When did you get lost?"
"Five months ago."
"..."
It is mid-October now, five months ago it was May, that is, one month after the end of the world, it was the most chaotic time...
Of course, it is not completely impossible to survive. For example, meeting kind-hearted people or the military...
"Then how did she get lost?"
"She ran away on her own."
"Ah? You ran away? Why? You didn't stop me with your skills?"
Wang Tao asked with a frown.
"She... turned into a zombie."
"..."
When Yang Changhong in the car heard this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at He Jijun.
Turning into a zombie is completely hopeless.
Jiang Shixue subconsciously grabbed Wang Tao's hand. Wang Tao told her that she had turned into a zombie before, but was rescued by Wang Tao.
However, Wang Tao also said that the medicine that could save her is very rare. Only one bottle has appeared so far, and the conditions are very strict. It will have no effect on people who have been infected for more than three days. Even if it is used on a person who has been infected within three days, there is only a certain probability that it can be saved, and there is a possibility of self-immolation and death...
Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue's hand with his backhand, and then looked at He Jijun.
"Old man, with all due respect, your situation is... very difficult."
Unless He Jijun's granddaughter was caught by a kind person after she escaped, and this kind person happened to have something similar to a purification potion in his hand, and used it on his granddaughter, and it was successful, and then this kind person took his granddaughter to the end of the world. Struggling to survive and persisting until now...
It is difficult to achieve any of these conditions. If many conditions are combined, it is basically impossible. Even Wang Tao feels that the probability that he will reveal the antidote to the zombie virus is greater than this series of coincidences...
"I know..." He Jijun sighed, and then said firmly, "But when she turned into a zombie and fled, I said that I would definitely find her and take her home!"
In the apocalypse, some people live just to live, such as Wang Tao. He is very pure, he simply does not want to die and is afraid of death.
There are also people who live for obsession, such as Huang Mao Wu Fei who wants revenge; such as Li Qiuyu who wants to see his daughter; such as Yang Changhong who wants to find his sister; and the person in front of him who wants to take his granddaughter home. He Jijun...
He Jijun also knew in his heart that his granddaughter was basically gone. But even if he died, he would have to see his granddaughter's body with his own eyes before he could give up - to put it another way, as long as he didn't find her body for a day, her granddaughter might still be alive!
This may be the light of hope for He Jijun to survive in the apocalypse.
"Old man, your granddaughter... has not seen the body, but there is indeed a possibility of survival. Join us, and we will search together. Even if we may not find it in our lifetime, I promise to help you find it!"
Wang Tao spoke seriously.
He Jijun is the legendary military king, and he is very capable. Wang Tao felt that this kind of talent should give full play to his role, and by being with him, He Jijun could give full play to his role!
However, Wang Tao also decided that even if He Jijun did not agree, he would be willing to help He Jijun become a superpower free of charge.
He Jijun has very strong abilities and has great potential after becoming a superpower. He is also a person who has dedicated himself to the country and the people. Such a person should live!
"Alas..." He Jijun sighed, and then looked at Wang Tao, "Okay. I promise to join you..."
In fact, He Jijun was a little confused.
It's not confusion about whether he can find his granddaughter - whether he can find it or not, he will insist on looking for it.
His confusion is about how far he can go.
He Jijun has seen powerful zombies and knows that the strength of zombies is constantly improving, but he is standing still - no, he will get older and weaker, and will eventually die at the hands of zombies.
But now, he met Wang Tao, who promised to make him stronger without side effects or impurities. Perhaps, this is the solution for him to continue on...
"Old man, welcome to join us!"
Upon hearing He Jijun's agreement, Wang Tao immediately reached out his hand.
He Jijun reached out and shook his hand, then smiled bitterly:
"Since we are one of our own, there is no need to be so polite to me. Besides, a master is a teacher, and we should be friends as equals. You can call me Lao He, or Old Man He..."
"Haha, okay! It's just a title, don't worry about it. Just call me Xiao Wang from now on!"
After He Jijun decided to join Wang Tao's team, the two sides felt much closer, and there was no longer the vague defensiveness before.
Then Wang Tao smiled and asked:
"Lao He, what kind of superpower do you want?"
"Can I still choose?"
"I still have a lot of crystal cores in my hand, plus the crystal cores in your hand, it's enough for you to choose from. Oh, by the way, you may not know what powers there are, let me introduce them to you first..."
Wang Tao introduced all the first-order crystal nuclei he had seen so far and had in his hands.
After He Jijun heard about so many types of crystal nuclei, he felt that they were all awesome and wanted all of them... But after all, he was also a person with self-control. He quickly woke up and chose from the powers Wang Tao mentioned. Got one.
"I want to shoot accurately! I think my marksmanship is pretty good, but I can also feel that my marksmanship can be improved. I want to see what I can achieve if my marksmanship is coupled with accurate shooting!"
Wang Tao was not surprised by He Jijun's choice.
He directly took out a first-level epic quality precision shooting crystal core from his hand. After handing the crystal core to He Jijun, Wang Tao explained:
"Then Lao He, you can fuse it now. But a person can not only fuse one kind of crystal core, but can fuse up to four kinds. In other words, he can get up to four powers! But everyone's physique is different , the number that can be fused is different. You have to try it first to know how much it can be fused..."
"Can fuse up to four types!"
He Jijun was a little surprised.
If he could have four powers, that would definitely be the best result. However, his psychological expectations are very low, as long as he can integrate one kind of superpower. After all, this is a superpower with no side effects and no impurities!
He Jijun took the crystal core and swallowed it directly into his mouth without hesitation.
In an instant, the crystal core seemed to have vaporized and merged into his limbs and bones.
He Jijun closed his eyes. He felt that his body was a little warm, warm and comfortable.
Then he opened his eyes and looked at Wang Tao.
"Is this good?"
"Congratulations! Lao He, you are now a superpower! You can try your superpowers."
After becoming a superpower, the basic usage of his fused superpower naturally appeared in his mind, so there was no need to explain, he knew it by himself.
"Let me try……"
He Jijun silently activated his precision shooting ability.
In an instant, he felt that the whole world was different!
He sees a lot of details that he couldn't see before, and his eyes can even be used as telescopes!
And I feel that this precise shooting can not only be effective in long-range attacks, but also be effective in melee combat!
"This is the superpower!"
He Jijun was a little excited. He looked at his eyes again. Both eyes were fine. And the side effect of this precise shot was blindness in one eye! In other words, this is indeed a power with no side effects!
After experiencing the supernatural power for a while, He Jijun felt a little tired. He knew that this was the reason for the excessive energy consumption mentioned by Wang Tao. He quickly turned off the ability, and then said to Wang Tao with great gratitude:
"Thank you!"
"Don't be too hasty to thank me, just feel it quickly. Can you continue to fuse the crystal core?"
Wang Tao naturally hopes that He Jijun can fuse a variety of crystal nuclei. But he had no control over this matter, it only depended on luck.
"Let me see……"
He Jijun closed his eyes, felt it carefully, and then his face looked a little happy.
"I feel like I can fuse another kind of crystal nucleus!"
"Very good! Then Lao He, please choose another one!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
If you can fuse one kind of crystal core, you won't lose money; if you can fuse two kinds, you will make a profit.
"Let me think about it...I choose to charge!"
He Jijun's marksmanship is good, but this does not mean that his melee combat is weak.
He used to be the king of soldiers in the army, an all-round talent with basically no shortcomings. His melee combat is naturally not weak.
The ability of charging, which can be used for melee combat, displacement, and running, is still very suitable for him.
"Okay."
Wang Tao nodded.
Speaking of which, the soldiers such as Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin also liked the ability of charging.
Wang Tao gave He Jijun another first-level epic charging crystal core.
He Jijun put it directly into his mouth.
After a while, the charging was also fused.
But now he is in the car, and there is no way to test the charging ability for the time being.
This time, Wang Tao didn't need to speak, He Jijun immediately said:
"I feel that I can fuse two more crystal cores!"
Hearing this, Wang Tao laughed happily.
"Haha, it seems that Lao He, you are very lucky. You can fuse four abilities! Tell me, what are you going to fuse with the remaining two abilities?"
"I have to think about it..."
He Jijun was very excited. He didn't expect that he could fuse four abilities.
Previously, he planned to fuse a superpower, so he had to think about it again.
After discussing with Wang Tao, he chose the athlete as his third superpower.
The athlete is a passive ability, which is actually quite suitable for survival in the end times. It can be simply understood as turning an ordinary person into a parkour master!
For people like He Jijun who have strong athletic ability, the improvement brought by this superpower is even stronger!
Soon, He Jijun completed the fusion of the athlete crystal core.
"I feel like my body seems to be much lighter..."
He Jijun clenched his fist. He had the urge to run out and have fun, but unfortunately he couldn't experiment now...
"Next is the last crystal core..."
When Jiang Shixue tried to control He Jijun before, she reminded Wang Tao that He Jijun's mental power was very strong.
Wang Tao felt that people with strong mental power were very suitable for fusing mental crystal cores. But unfortunately, he didn't have any first-level mental crystal cores, and the lowest was second-level.
So He Jijun could only fuse other crystal cores first. Anyway, he still had a lot of second-level peeling crystal cores in his hand. When He Jijun reached the second level, he could peel He Jijun's crystal core and then replace it with a spiritual crystal core.
In the end, the two discussed and decided to fuse a running crystal core for He Jijun to make a transition.
Whether it was attacking or defending, it was always right to run faster.
Soon, He Jijun's fourth crystal core was also fused.
Since then, He Jijun has jumped from an "ordinary person" to a superpower with four superpowers!
But this is not the end. He is now just an ordinary first-level superpower, and all his superpowers are still +1, which is too weak. Wang Tao gave him a lot of crystal cores and let him upgrade his superpowers to +10.
Before leaving Zijing City, Wang Tao left many low-level crystal cores to Lan Yulian. But along the way, he encountered many zombies, so he got a lot of crystal cores. In addition, He Jijun saved a lot of crystal cores, which was just enough.
The fusion process was fast. It didn't take long for He Jijun to fuse all these crystal cores. All four of his abilities are +10!
Next, he needs to fuse the second-level promotion crystal core and upgrade to the second level.
However, the second-level promotion requires sleep, and people like him who have fused four types of crystal cores need 24 hours. In the current situation, it is obviously impossible to provide He Jijun with sleep time, so He Jijun cannot be promoted now.
Wang Tao only gave him three promotion crystal cores.
If he fuses four promotion crystal cores, he must choose to upgrade within three days. If he does not choose, he will be promoted automatically after three days. But if he does not fuse enough four promotion crystal cores, there is no such restriction.
He Jijun is lucky. After the fusion of these three promotion crystal cores, the three main abilities of precision shooting, athlete and charge are promoted to the second level.
"I can't wait to try my strength now!"
He Jijun feels a little excited.
"Haha, don't be anxious. Old He, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future. But not now, because after you become a superpower and kill zombies, your strength will be improved, and once your strength is improved, you may sleep..."
At the first level, you will sleep every time your blood volume reaches a thousand, and your physical fitness will be enhanced after waking up. Now everyone is unsafe, even if he only sleeps for a few hours, it is very dangerous.
"I understand, let's talk about it after we go to the military base!"
He Jijun took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
The fastest way to this military base is to go through the city. But the city is too dangerous, and the huge zombie is still vivid in my mind.
He Jijun has never seen the zombie, but he also knows that the city is dangerous, so he led Wang Tao to take another road.
On the way, Wang Tao encountered zombies several times. But there were no powerful zombies, and they were all easily solved by Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan.
At noon, He Jijun suddenly said:
"We are in the military base!"
"Huh?"
Wang Tao did not see any relevant buildings, and He Jijun continued to direct them to make many turns.
At one point, Wang Tao saw a high wall and barbed wire fence not far ahead, with a sign hanging on it - Military important area, no entry for outsiders.
We have arrived at the military base!
However, outside the high wall, there are a large number of zombies! There are first-level, second-level and even third-level zombies!
"So many zombies..."
Wang Tao quickly stopped the car.
It was raining heavily now, and the zombies did not find Wang Tao's car. If it hadn't rained, they might have found it. After all, there must be some zombies with keen perception.
"Old He, how can we get in?"
Wang Tao looked at He Jijun.
"Get in? No, no, no! In an emergency, this base will definitely activate the automated defense facilities. I don't know if it is still running. But if it is still running, we will be beaten into a sieve if we get in! We have to go through the main gate!"
