Chapter 259 Awakening Key

"Giant zombie!"

Seeing the huge shadow, everyone exclaimed.

Then they all showed fear on their faces.

Just now, this fourth-level night demon was so difficult to deal with, how strong must this giant zombie be? !

After all, Wang Tao said before that this giant zombie should be a very powerful existence among the fourth-level!

"What should we do?"

Everyone looked at Wang Tao.

"We-lie down!"

Wang Tao suddenly roared, hugged Jiang Shixue and Yang Changhong respectively, and then instantly lay on the ground.

After hearing this, He Jijun almost lay on the ground with Wang Tao at the same time, and he also pulled down Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan beside him.

Lightning also lay down directly as a conditioned reflex.

Then--

Boom!

There was a tremor, as if something flew by almost brushing the scalps of several people.

With the help of the unburned flares not far away, several people saw that the thing flying by seemed to be a huge stone slab!

Looking up again, the front and back walls of this floor were gone, and a large hole appeared through it!

From the hole, we can see the huge figure in the distance that is still throwing!

Boom, boom, boom!

"Oh my god!"

Everyone was a little dumbfounded. This thing can also throw and attack? It can hit so accurately from such a long distance? And this power directly smashed through a reinforced concrete building!

If Wang Tao hadn't told them to lie down, they would have been smashed into meat paste or smashed out of more than ten floors and fell to death!

"Fuck!"

Wang Tao cursed inwardly. This thing can also attack from a distance? It was not beaten in the first place, and now it is even more difficult to beat!

"Run! Run!"

Wang Tao didn't hesitate, got up and dragged Yang Changhong to run!

This giant zombie's movements look slow, but its size is here, it is estimated that it can come over in a few steps!

Now it's not a question of whether to run or not, but a question of whether you can run!

Nie Siyan and others were a little panicked, but after all, they were all third-level psychics. They all abandoned distractions and followed Wang Tao.

But the fastest runner was not Wang Tao, but Lightning. Lightning led the way in front. It was very familiar with the route and could ensure that it would not lead everyone to a dead end. Jiang Shixue followed Lightning. There were some places that only Lightning could get into, but humans could not get in. She was responsible for using brute force to push these places away.

Then came Wang Tao, Yang Changhong, Xu Xiaojun and He Jijun.

Although He Jijun was the oldest, he was a third-level superpower after all, and he had the hidden ability of being strong even when old. He had a strong physical fitness and would not fall behind.

Several people ran downstairs frantically. Seeing that they had already run to the fifth floor, Wang Tao suddenly stopped and yelled.

"Lightning, come back!"

Wang Tao shouted with all his strength, which directly made Yang Changhong's ears numb. Before she could figure out what was going on, she suddenly heard a boom!

The earth shook!

A huge and rotten arm appeared on the fifth floor. It grabbed everything it could grab and crushed it!

Everyone looked out the window and saw a terrifying figure bending over outside!

The giant zombie is coming!

It seemed to have caught something, and then its big hand left the fifth floor and fed the thing in its hand into its mouth!

"Lightning!"

Wang Tao's eyes were bloodshot.

"Woof woof!"

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed to Wang Tao's feet from a ruin.

"Lightning?"

Wang Tao just thought that Lightning was caught, but fortunately the dog was smart and escaped this disaster.

Wang Tao immediately hugged Lightning in his arms, looking at the fifth floor that had become a ruin, he said decisively:

"Jump off the building! Follow me!"

Wang Tao held Lightning in one hand and the ignited ultraviolet flare in the other hand, then broke the window and jumped down!

Others did not hesitate after seeing Wang Tao's actions and jumped down together.

Huh——

Feeling the wind in his ears, Wang Tao exerted his perception ability and plant affinity to the extreme.

Boom!

Wang Tao landed heavily, mud splashed, and cracks appeared on the ground. Wang Tao felt his feet were a little numb.

Others also landed one after another. For these third-level psychics with 100,000 HP, the height of the five-story building was not too dangerous, especially when Wang Tao led the way with a flare so that they could see the road clearly.

Wang Tao put down Lightning and threw the flare to the place where there were many zombies.

"Go, follow me!"

In the heavy rain, Wang Tao ran in front, followed by several people, and the giant zombie was at the end.

Boom, boom, boom——

The giant zombie seemed to see Wang Tao and others, it gave up the building and walked towards Wang Tao.

Its movements seemed slow, but it could cross more than 20 meters in one step, and it walked behind Wang Tao and others in a few steps.

"Charge!"

Wang Tao roared.

The charge on his suit was still cooling down, but He Jijun, Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun all charged. The three of them led Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, Yang Changhong and Lightning, and instantly launched a charge!

Boom——

Several people charged more than 30 meters in an instant.

A huge foot stepped on the place where they left.

"Keep charging, don't stop!"

Wang Tao gave directions to the others, and they all rushed forward.

I don't know how many zombies I killed along the way, and I didn't even have time to pick up some crystal cores.

Wang Tao was unable to distance himself from the giant zombie, so he immediately took out the cloaking potion.

"Changhong, use cloaking! Everyone else use cloaking potion!"

Wang Tao distributed the cloaking potion, injected himself with one shot, and then injected Lightning in his arms with one shot.

Soon, a faint smell of decay came from the bodies of several people.

"Keep charging!"

A few minutes later, Wang Tao felt that the giant zombie behind him was getting farther and farther away.

"Huh——"

Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this giant also relies on smell to sense.

Not long after, Wang Tao completely lost sight of the giant zombie's position, nor could he hear the other's footsteps.

But he was still very cautious and did not let everyone charge, but started running. After all, the movement of charging was relatively loud.

Wang Tao didn't know where he was running to now. He couldn't tell the direction when he was running for his life just now. He just wanted to stay away from the giant zombie.

I don't know how long he ran, Wang Tao finally called a halt.

"Stop, we should be safe."

Just now, Wang Tao fed a lot of crystal cores to the entangled tree roots, and the entangled tree roots recovered some of their health. He relied on his self-healing ability to restore his health almost. However, his mana consumption was too large, and he could not replenish it for the time being, and he could not maintain full perception. After all, this ability consumes a lot of mana.

"Fortunately, Brother Wang, you have a concealment potion..."

Nie Siyan said with some fear.

Just now, they encountered too many zombies along the way!

If it weren't for the concealment potion, it is estimated that with the way they just ran, they would have directly caused a zombie tide!

"Let's go, while the effect of the concealment potion is still there, quickly find a place to hide..."

Wang Tao just thought about it. He felt that the reason why the giant zombie came here should not be because of their smell, but because of the noise caused by their battle with the black-skinned night demon!

For example, the dazzling flare, the whole floor was purple light, and it was more than ten floors high. It was hard not to attract attention.

So Wang Tao thought that as long as he found a place to hide and hide his smell, he should be able to avoid the giant zombies.

"Let's go here!"

Wang Tao picked a direction.

Although he could see at night, he was not familiar with Wuyang City and still couldn't tell where it was. But he felt that this direction should be the direction out of the city.

As long as he could leave the city and get on the car they hid, he would be basically safe.

On the way, Wang Tao activated his perception from time to time to check if there was any major danger around.

He walked carefully for half an hour. Although the speed was a little slower, there were no accidents.

"I guess we should be out soon..."

Under a high-rise building with a strange shape, Wang Tao rubbed his temples. His mana consumption was too much and he was not in a good spirit.

Suddenly, Wang Tao's hair trembled all over his body! A chill went straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

Wang Tao immediately activated his perception, and then he saw a huge energy body in front of him!

"Crap!"

Bang!

Wang Tao didn't react at all and was slapped in the face.

Boom——

He was smashed directly into a civilian house.

Others were a little confused. They realized that what was in front of them was not a strange high-rise building, but a giant zombie leaning against the building!

But... how is this possible!

How could it be so fast!

Everyone was clearly running in a straight line under the leadership of Wang Tao. There was no giant zombie behind them. Where did it come from? !

But everyone didn't have time to think about it. They all ran to the civilian house and grabbed Wang Tao from a wall.

"Cough cough!"

Wang Tao felt as if all the bones in his body were broken, and there was a taste of rust in his mouth, and his ears were buzzing.

"Cough... It, it's not that giant zombie, it's another one!"

Wang Tao's words made everyone a little dazed.

"Another, another one?"

"Cough, hurry up! Charge! Keep charging!"

Wang Tao roared.

Several people did not dare to neglect and immediately launched a charge. Of course, they were all in the opposite direction of escaping.

Rumble——

After rushing out of the house, everyone couldn't see the specific appearance of the giant zombie, but Wang Tao saw it clearly.

[Health: 200000/200000]

[Mana: 100000/100000]

[Level: Level 4·Lord]

[Awakening: Giant]

The giant zombie that chased them before had 300,000 health, and this giant zombie has 200,000 health!

These two are not the same at all!

There are actually two giant zombies——no, maybe more than that!

After all, Wang Tao and his team are only in one district of Wuyang City now. Wuyang City has many districts. In this district, they saw two giant zombies. In other districts...

Everyone didn't have time to think more, and even Wang Tao felt that his brain was a little dizzy. He was afraid that he might faint, so he hurriedly said:

"Xiaoxue, you lead the way!"

In addition to him, only Jiang Shixue and Lightning can see night vision, but Lightning can't speak, so Jiang Shixue can only come.

"Okay!"

Boom, boom, boom——

This giant zombie also started chasing, but its size was smaller than the previous one, so its speed was slower. After several people took advantage of the effect of the concealment potion and charged at full speed, it took some time to finally get rid of this giant zombie.

Although Wang Tao still had more than 30,000 HP at this time, his head was very dizzy and he wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare. He held a bottle of vitality potion in his hand. If there was any danger again, he could only use this potion.

At this time, Jiang Shixue's crisp voice sounded.

"Brother! We are out of the city, I see our car!"

Huh——

Hearing this, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was very glad that he had chosen the right road before.

Until several people got on the car without any danger, Wang Tao could no longer hold on, and he fell directly into Jiang Shixue's arms.

"I'll sleep for a while..."

"Brother!"

"Wang Tao!"

...

"Water..."

Wang Tao felt his mouth was dry and shouted subconsciously.

Then he felt a cool breeze at the corner of his mouth. Wang Tao slowly opened his eyes and saw a pair of pure and bright eyes.

"Brother!"

Jiang Shixue put down the water cup and held Wang Tao's hand tightly. Wang Tao looked up and saw the familiar ceiling of the military base room and a group of people standing beside his bed.

"Wang Tao! Woo... I thought..."

Yang Changhong held Wang Tao's hand, her eyes were a little swollen.

"Brother Wang, you finally woke up!"

Xu Xiaojun clenched his fists fiercely, and his eyes were also a little red.

"Brother Wang..."

Nie Siyan seemed to have cried too.

"You kid finally woke up!"

He Jijun smiled.

"Woof woof!"

Lightning, who had been quietly guarding the bed, jumped up immediately and ran around excitedly under the bed.

Wang Tao got up, rubbed Lightning's dog head hard, then looked at everyone and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm just too sleepy, I'm fine now."

He remembered what happened before, he said he was going to sleep for a while, he was seriously injured at the time and looked very miserable, so this statement is easy to be misunderstood.

After all, others can't see the blood bar, don't know Wang Tao still has more than 30,000 blood.

"Really strong!"

He Jijun gave a thumbs up.

"How long have I slept?"

Wang Tao asked.

"About sixteen hours, it's eight o'clock in the evening now. It's dark."

Yang Changhong spoke quickly.

"That's good... You didn't rest, right? Go and rest!"

Wang Tao saw that they were not in good spirits, obviously they didn't rest much.

"I'm going to rest, the old man can't compare to you young people!"

He Jijun left directly. Wang Tao was relieved that he was fine.

Xu Xiaojun nodded to Wang Tao and left too.

Nie Siyan wanted to stay, but seeing Yang Changhong and Jiang Shixue serving Wang Tao, she left tactfully.

Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, Yang Changhong and Lightning were the only ones left in the room.

Jiang Shixue was in good spirits. She was in a special physical condition and was not sleepy at all. Yang Changhong, on the other hand, looked exhausted.

Wang Tao picked up Yang Changhong and threw her onto the bed amid the other's exclamation.

"You sleep too, hurry up."

"Oh~"

Feeling Wang Tao's overbearing concern, Yang Changhong felt sweet in her heart.

Wang Tao sat on the bed and gently stroked Yang Changhong's face, and she soon fell asleep.

Then Wang Tao pulled Jiang Shixue to sit on the sofa and asked about his situation after he fell asleep.

"After leaving the city, there was no danger. We encountered many zombies on the way back to the base, but none of them were our opponents... As for the two giant zombies, they did not appear again."

"That's good, these fourth-level zombies are really terrifying!"

Wang Tao sighed.

Then he looked at Jiang Shixue and Lightning again, and after confirming that both of them were fine, he looked at his own attributes.

[Health: 37353/110000]

[Mana: 1394/45000]

[Special Energy: 450000]

[Awakening Key: 1 (Not Activated)]

[Level: Level 3]

[Hidden Attributes: Physical Fitness, Night Vision, Plant Affinity]

When the physical condition is not good, it will affect the speed of mana recovery. If the mana is not high, it is impossible to use self-healing, so Wang Tao's health is also high.

But it's not a big problem, just find Yang Changhong to recover the mana later.

And Wang Tao's focus is not on blood and mana, but that he has an extra awakening key!

This awakening key appeared after he killed the fourth-level black-skinned night demon. When he set his sights on the "awakening key", the explanation appeared.

[Awakening Key: The key required for awakening (obtained by killing creatures of the same level or higher than the fourth-level lord)]

[Not activated: temporarily unavailable, requires 3 activation conditions]

[1. HP increased to the maximum level (completed)]

[2. Power increased to the maximum level (uncompleted)]

[3. Possessing hidden attributes (completed)]

[Note: Automatically promoted to the fourth level after awakening]

After seeing these introductions, many of Wang Tao’s previous doubts were solved!

Only by awakening can you be promoted to the fourth level! If you don’t awaken, you will never be able to reach the fourth level!

But awakening requires an awakening key, which can only be obtained by killing creatures above the fourth-level lord!

Wang Tao had thought before that there might be more conditions for the promotion from the third level to the fourth level, and it would not be as simple as before... Now it is indeed the case!

However, obtaining this awakening key is no longer difficult, but as difficult as ascending to heaven!

After all, you have to kill the lord creatures above the fourth level yourself!

Only people like Wang Tao who have personally fought against the fourth-level lord zombies know how strong they are!

If it were not the Night Demon, if it were another fourth-level zombie, they might be wiped out... And this has to be killed personally, unlike those promotion crystal cores that can be traded, which adds a lot of difficulty!

Of course, even if you have an awakening key, you can't awaken immediately, you have to activate the awakening key, and activation requires three conditions-

The first condition is to increase the blood volume to the maximum level. It should refer to the third-level upper limit of 100,000 blood. This condition has been met by Wang Tao and several teammates.

The second condition is to increase the ability to the maximum level. The maximum level of the third-order superpower is not level 10, but it is upgraded to level 1 of the fourth order with the promotion crystal core... Wang Tao naturally did not meet this condition.

The third condition is to have hidden attributes!

"So hidden attributes have this function?"

In this case, hidden attributes are more important than the first two conditions!

After all, health can be obtained by killing zombies, and superpower levels can be increased with crystal cores, and hidden attributes... Wang Tao feels that this thing is related to luck.

Good luck, just like Ding Yuqin, she activated the hidden attribute the first time she killed a zombie in her life.

Bad luck, like Nie Siyan in the team, has 100,000 blood but still has no hidden attribute.

Of course, obtaining some other items, such as night vision eyeballs, magical seeds, etc., can also obtain hidden attributes, but this also depends on luck...

So, people with hidden attributes are potential stocks that can be promoted to the fourth order?

[Strengthening the body, night vision, plant affinity]

Wang Tao looked at his three hidden attributes and fell into deep thought.
