Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 132

 Chapter 132 The most difficult promotion (please vote for me)

 “Wang Tao, what's wrong with you?”

Han Rui looked at Wang Tao strangely.

“I'm fine. It's up to you to deal with the next zombies.”

Since he kills elite zombies without adding blood, these elite zombies cannot be wasted. Let Han Rui kill them.

“Ah? Do you really want me to come? Aren't you going to increase your strength?”

Han Rui was a little excited. She definitely wanted to become stronger, but she had agreed to focus on Wang Tao.

 “I have reached the upper limit and there is no way to improve my strength for the time being.”

Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

 “Upper limit?”

Han Rui was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, I have reached the upper limit of level one. I have to find a way to upgrade to level two first, otherwise it will be useless to kill these elite zombies..."

 Previously, when the blood was 1000, killing ordinary zombies would not increase the blood, only elite zombies could be killed.

 But this time the situation is different from before. In the past, he was able to increase his health to 1,000, but now he is stuck at 4,999 and cannot increase it.

His previous guess of 5,000 blood to advance to the second level should be correct, but this 5,000 blood cannot be obtained just by killing zombies. Wang Tao thinks the reason should be the crystal core.

 He killed Shao Yong the day before yesterday and got a second-level promotion core. This crystal core can upgrade a superpower to the second level.

 The crystal nucleus can only be fused with the second-level crystal nucleus after it is upgraded to the second level.

Is it possible that if a person with superpowers wants to advance to the second level, he must first upgrade his superpowers to the second level?

Perhaps Wang Tao has to upgrade his superpower to the second level first before he can continue to gain health by killing zombies!

 If this is really the case, then Wang Tao will be helpless.

 After all, he has learned four abilities. Doesn't he have to upgrade all four abilities to the second level? Or is it just a matter of having a second-level ability?

It would be okay if he could advance to the second level with only one ability improvement.

But what if all four powers have to be promoted... Not to mention whether he can kill so many second-level zombies, even if he finds so many second-level zombies, it will not be easy!

At present, the only second-level zombies he knows are the dead zombie Shao Yong, the hooded zombie with 6,000 health that he just saw, and the orangutan zombie with 10,000 health. Apart from this, he has never seen any other second-level zombies.

He definitely can't defeat the gorilla zombies. He can think of a way to kill the hooded zombies, but even if he can kill them, the number of crystal cores is still not enough... Oh, what a headache!

Shaking his head, Wang Tao stopped thinking about it for the time being and concentrated on cooperating with Han Rui to kill the zombies.

Although the speaker Wang Tao prepared before was trampled to pieces by the hooded zombies, the effect was still achieved, and many elite zombies were led outside the hospital.

Wang Tao and Han Rui took advantage of the effect of the concealment potion to kill the zombies. With the concealment potion combined with the crossbow arrows, these zombies couldn't detect them at all.

 It took two days, and all the more than 30 elite zombies that came out this time were killed by two people.

Wang Tao also tried it once. After he reached 4999 blood, he could no longer increase the upper limit of blood volume.

 Except for the time he tested it, all the other zombies were killed by Han Rui.

Han Rui is absolutely awesome!

 She directly added nearly 2,000 blood! Her total blood volume has also reached "3030"!

 In fact, I thought I could defeat these zombies in one afternoon, but Han Rui needed sleep to increase her blood volume, so some time was wasted.

Of course, Han Rui's speed is still very fast, much faster than Wei Zhenguo and the others.

There is no other way. After all, Wang Tao is escorting her, and there are a lot of elite zombies here, so she cannot improve quickly.

However, after killing these zombies, there are no elite zombies left outside the hospital. If you want to continue killing, you either have to lure them out or go in.

Wang Tao's trumpet was gone and it was difficult to attract monsters, so the two decided to hunt inside the hospital.

However, Wang Tao did not forget that Shao Yong was trapped in the hospital even though he was so strong.

 So the two of them decided to hang out at the entrance of the hospital instead of going in deeply.

However, after entering the hospital, I found that there didn't seem to be that many elite zombies.

“Are they all killed? They shouldn't be! There were so many before..."

Wang Tao looked at the big hole in the inpatient building that had been knocked out by the orangutan zombies. He felt that the zombies could be inside.

“Forget it, let's not think about the zombies in the building. Let's just clean up the zombies in the yard.”

Wang Tao thinks it's better to be more stable.

"Um!"

Han Rui naturally had no objection.

There were not many elite zombies in the yard. There were only 8 zombies in total, which raised Han Rui's blood volume to "3470".

 The two of them stopped as soon as they got along and returned directly to the apartment.

“If the zombies in the building don't come out after one more day, then we will go home.”

Wang Tao thought for a while and said.

 In fact, he wanted to directly increase Han Rui's blood volume to 4,000. After all, the opportunity was rare.

But no matter what, the zombies in the hospital are not coming out!

If these zombies come out, Wang Tao not only wants to increase Han Rui's health volume to 4,000, but also wants to bring Wei Zhenguo over to increase their health volume.

As long as everyone is stronger, then Wang Tao can let everyone help him hunt down the second-level zombies!

But imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.

By the next day, not only were there no elite zombies left in the hospital, but even the ordinary zombies had disappeared...

 “Forget it, retreat!”

 There was no other way, Wang Tao had no choice but to decide to go home and rest first.

But on the way home, Wang Tao suddenly heard a rumbling sound.

 “It's a gorilla zombie!”

 The two people quickly left the car and hid in a building.

Not long after, they saw this orangutan zombie passing by them. It was still wreaking havoc as before. Wang Tao was worried that he would throw away his car. Fortunately, the orangutan zombie walked from the next street and his car survived.

 “Let's go, let's go back quickly.”

After the orangutan zombies left, Wang Tao drove away.

The appearance of the gorilla zombie seems to have some benefits, that is, not only were all the obstacles knocked away along the way, but even the zombies were gone.

 The car traveled smoothly and ran very fast.

Moreover, Han Rui in the car frowned a little. She looked at Wang Tao with some uncertainty and said:

“Looking at the route this orangutan zombie takes, it seems that it will pass by Li Qiuyu's house..."

Wang Tao thought for a moment, then shook his head.

“We can't control it, we can only hope she gets lucky.”

If it's just a little effort, Wang Tao wouldn't mind helping him. But this is a second-level zombie with thousands of blood. With Wang Tao's current strength, it is no different from seeking death. There was no way he was joking with his and Han Rui's lives.

"Um…"

Han Rui felt a little regretful. She tried to contact Li Qiuyu using the walkie-talkie, but failed. She just wished Li Qiuyu good luck.

 Two hours later, the two returned to the Shuizhe base.

They stayed outside for three days, and during these three days, a big thing happened in the base—the first 20 survivors who were selected all became superpowers!

Since they have been selected as superpowers, it is impossible to just give them a crystal core and be done with it. If they succeed, that's fine. If they don't, they will continue to be given crystal nuclei until they succeed.

 So these twenty people all became superpowers.

 The overall strength of the base has been greatly improved.

Ren Jie and others were originally a little excited, but when Wang Tao said that he could not advance to the second level for the time being, everyone's excitement suddenly decreased a lot.

They didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to advance to the second level. Especially since the orangutan zombies have appeared again today, if Wang Tao cannot advance to the second level, it will be very difficult to deal with the orangutan zombies...

“Next, you guys must seize the time to kill zombies, improve your strength, and collect more crystal cores. If you encounter a zombie that seems to be a second-level zombie, contact me immediately. As for me... I'll think of a solution.”

Wang Tao looked at the crowd and said.

"OK!"

  In any case, improving strength is the most basic thing. If the five or six hundred people in the base are all first-level superpowers, how can they still defeat a second-level zombie?

Wang Tao frowned and thought after returning home.

 He does have a second-level promotion crystal core in his hand, which is still red. But there were impurities in this crystal core... He was hesitant to use it.

 If he continues to synthesize crystal nuclei without any impurities as before, he will need 3 crystal nuclei!

In the most unlucky situation - if he has to upgrade all four abilities to the second level before he can be promoted, he will need 12 promotion cores!

This requires killing at least 12 second-level zombies... Where can he find so many second-level zombies!

 “How about, try using one first…”

Wang Tao hesitated for a moment, and then decided to use this promotion core!

 Isn't it just that some impurities accumulate in the body? As long as it is controlled within a relatively small range, it is still very safe.

 The main reason is that the orangutan zombie is too threatening. It may come to the base at any time and does not give him a chance to slowly collect crystal cores...

Wang Tao took out the promotion crystal core. Inside the promotion crystal core, there is a faint "+" shadow, which may indicate promotion.

 【Second-order crystal core·Promotion】

 【Quality: Excellent (80%)】

 【Impurities: 45% (no side effects)】

 【Promotion: After fusion, one of the abilities that has been fused at full level can be randomly promoted to the second level】

Wang Tao currently has two abilities that are +10, namely Shock Wave and Copper Skin Iron Bone.

 One offense, one defense, no matter which one is upgraded to the second level, he can accept it!

Wang Tao directly put this excellent quality promotion crystal core into his mouth.

After the crystal nucleus entered his mouth, Wang Tao felt that it turned into a gas, filling his limbs and bones in a short period of time.

Wang Tao's whole body was warm, with an 80% success rate and no accidents.

 “Comfortable~”

 After a while, this warm feeling disappeared.

Wang Tao's previous feeling of fatigue disappeared instantly.

 He quickly looked at his attributes.

 The health bar has not changed at all, it is still 4999, but the blue bar has changed, it was 2500 before, and now it is 2700!

 In other words, a second-order crystal core adds 200 mana?

Then, as expected, Wang Tao has one more attribute.

  【Impurities in the body: 0%】

Seeing this impurity, Wang Tao felt helpless and hoped that there would be less impurities in the future.

And I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Wang Tao always feels uncomfortable after there are impurities in his body...

As for the key point of the promotion crystal core this time - the promotion ability, Wang Tao had already sensed it without looking at the attributes. It was a shock wave.

Looking at his attributes again, the +10 in the lower right corner of the shock wave icon is gone, but there is an extra "two" in the lower left corner, which should mean the second level.

 There are no other changes.

Wang Tao is going to go out and try out this second-level ability, and find an elite zombie to see if he can advance to the second level.

He still called Han Rui, and the two walked around outside. They didn't know if all the elite zombies nearby had been killed by Wei Zhenguo and the others, and they were basically invisible. I finally saw one, and it was a self-destructor.

But as long as they are elite zombies, Wang Tao used them to practice.

He carefully sneaked into the vicinity of the self-destructing zombie. He controlled the self-destructing zombie with a slime grenade, and then he struck the self-destructing zombie with an ax in the void.

A shock wave visible to the naked eye appeared from the ax blade, and then hit the self-destructor heavily.

Then.

boom-

 The self-destructor exploded!

But the sound was not loud, because it did not explode by itself, but was shattered by the shock wave! Even the solidified white mucus on its body was broken into pieces.

 “How awesome! This is the second-level superpower!”

Looking at the minced meat on the ground, Han Rui exclaimed in a low voice.

And she suddenly thought of a question. If Wang Tao could instantly kill the self-destructor with one blow and prevent it from self-destructing, then he could save the slime grenade and save a lot of time - walk near the self-destructor and hit it with an ax. Got it!

 This is the suppressive power of the second level on the first level!

“No, to be precise, this is only the power of the second-level superpower. I am not yet a second-level superpower.”

Wang Tao was not happy at all because he still didn't add blood. The most unlucky situation has arisen—perhaps he has to upgrade all four of his abilities to the second level before he can advance to the second level...

"ah?"

Han Rui was stunned for a moment, and then after hearing Wang Tao's explanation, she felt a little regretful at first, and then thought of herself.

 She currently only has two abilities, namely perception and charge. But she could feel that she could still combine two more powers. In other words, like Wang Tao, she can learn up to four powers.

But if Wang Tao wants to upgrade to the second level now, he may need at least four promotion cores!

If she only had one kind of power, she might only need one promotion core... Now she knows two kinds of powers, and she only needs two, which is twice as difficult as four...

 “There is a price to pay for being strong!”

Wang Tao sighed.

Although the superpowers who fuse four kinds of crystal cores are more powerful, the difficulty of promotion is also doubled!

At that time, when he discovered that he could fuse four different types of crystal nuclei, he thought it was too few. How awesome it would be if he could fuse dozens or hundreds of kinds!

 Now, Wang Tao just feels that it's a good thing that he can't fuse so many types of crystal nuclei!

Otherwise, if he can really fuse so many things, it will be a question of whether he can advance to the second level in his life...

“Then...are we still hunting zombies?”

Han Rui looked at Wang Tao and asked.

"kill!"

Wang Tao nodded.

 He needs to find the crystal nucleus! At the very least, we need to get three more promotion crystal cores, and search for second-level zombies.

Wang Tao now knows two second-level zombies, namely the gorilla zombie and the hooded zombie. Even if they can be killed, if they can both explode the promotion crystal core, there will still be one crystal core left...

And he also needs to upgrade his precision shooting and self-healing levels. One of his two abilities is +4, and the other is still +1... He needs to hunt more zombies to collect first-level crystal cores!

Wang Tao and Han Rui stayed outside until dark before going back. They had bad luck today. They found 5 elite zombies in one afternoon.

 This is really far from the hospital. It's a pity that none of the zombies in the hospital have come out.

 “Go back and have a good rest.”

Wang Tao said to Han Rui who got off the car.

"good!"

Han Rui added a lot of blood this afternoon, and it has now reached 3700! It's not far away from 4000 blood.

However, Han Rui is a little confused about the issue of fusing crystal nuclei. Wang Tao said that he still has a lot of crystal nuclei in his hand. If Han Rui is willing to fuse, she can ask him for it.

However, the more types of fusion crystal nuclei there are, the harder it is to advance. Han Rui is now not sure whether to continue fusion.

  After all, reality is not about playing games. You can play the game slowly, but reality does not give you time to develop...

 The next day.

Wang Tao asked Han Rui to go out to hunt zombies again, but this time it was not only Han Rui, but also Ding Yuqin, Gao Hua and Chen Zhuang.

The three of them all have more than 1,000 health points. Killing ordinary zombies does not add blood, so you have to kill elite zombies.

Wang Tao didn't take them with him before because they had no experience in killing zombies, and bringing them out would only be a hindrance. Now after a period of training, he is basically a qualified hunter. Even the most inexperienced Ding Yuqin can fight several ordinary zombies by herself at the same time.

So Wang Tao took them out to get more familiar with the characteristics of elite zombies, so that they could face them more calmly when they encounter them in the future.

 Today's luck is better than yesterday. I encountered 16 elite zombies in one day!

 Han Rui directly reached 4000 blood and fell into a deep sleep. Ding Yuqin, Gao Hua and Chen Zhuang also refinished their swords and felt the thrill of killing elite zombies.

After returning to the base before dark, Wang Tao felt that there were many unfamiliar faces today.

 He asked Ding Yuqin and others to go back first, and then drove Han Rui, who was still awake, back to her home.

At Han Rui's house, Wang Tao accidentally saw Sun Weiguang.

Wang Tao hasn't seen Sun Weiguang for many days. To be honest, he feels that it seems more exciting when Sun Weiguang is around? cough-

 “Commissioner Wang!”

Sun Weiguang was a little surprised when he saw Wang Tao carrying Han Rui upstairs, but he still helped Wang Tao open the door very thoughtfully.

 “What have you been doing recently?”

Wang Tao asked curiously.

“Well, I have been with Ou Yingying recently. I came here today to formally tell Han Rui that I hope we can get together and go our separate ways from now on..."

 “Oh, then I won't bother you.”

Wang Tao nodded.

 He put Han Rui on the bed and left. Then he came to the complex and asked Ren Jie strangely:

 “Why are there so many strange faces today?”

 Ren Jie replied:

“It's not that gorilla zombie...many small family-style survivor bases have been destroyed! Those who survived want to join our base.”
