Chapter 309 Half Success
The second one is He Jijun. Although he is the oldest among them, he has the richest combat experience. Moreover, his hidden ability is getting stronger with age, so there is no need to worry about the decline of combat effectiveness due to his age.
The third one is Wei Zhenguo. He is one of Wang Tao's earliest friends. He is recognized by Wang Tao both as a person and as a person.
The last one is Han Rui. She is the second person to follow Wang Tao, and she is also strong enough.
After deciding on the candidates, Wang Tao asked them to start fusing and promoting the crystal core. Each of them has four abilities, so exactly 16 promotion cores are needed.
These Ascension Cores are of excellent and epic quality. There were no accidents, and all four of them successfully integrated.
The next step is to fuse the awakening key. Just like the fusion crystal core, they put the awakening key in their mouths and the fusion is completed quickly.
“I seem to feel the secret key to awakening…”
Lan Yulian spoke in surprise.
She could clearly "see" a light spot like a star inside her body. It seems that as soon as I think about it, I can start to awaken!
"let's start."
After hearing Wang Tao's words, the four of them immediately chose to awaken!
They instantly felt that the secret key in their body disappeared, and then the upper limit of blood volume began to plummet. The blood of 110,000 dropped to 10,000 in the blink of an eye!
Wang Tao had them fuse the blood volume increasing crystal core before, so their upper limit of blood volume is 110,000.
“One of my abilities disappeared!”
Lan Yulian exclaimed.
"Me too!"
He Jijun spoke.
After the two of them finished speaking, they felt very sleepy and lay down on the table.
Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui were left staring at each other.
“My powers are still there…”
“Mine is also there…”
Wang Tao said helplessly:
“Then it seems that you two have failed.”
Everyone watching was stunned for a moment.
Although Wang Tao said that there is a 50% probability of failure in the first awakening. But seeing with their own eyes that two of the four people failed, their hearts sank instantly. This is really a 50% probability of failure!
And if you fail the first time, subsequent awakenings will become more and more difficult, and the probability of success will become less and less, eventually reducing to 10%!
Wang Tao was also very helpless. He said it was 50%, but it was really 50%. Only the two of them succeeded...
Seeing that Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui were both a little distracted, Wang Tao went over and patted Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui on their shoulders and said:
"Don't be too sad. If you fail, you fail. It doesn't matter. We still have a chance. And I told you before that the awakened ones have a method that can increase the success rate of other people's awakening, but that direction requires time to accumulate. But in other words, as long as you accumulate enough time, everyone can wake up!”
The method Wang Tao mentioned is that after you have accumulated 100 awakening keys, you can extract an advanced awakening key. Advanced awakening keys have a 70% success rate.
But this advanced awakening key requires saving 100 awakening keys, which means you have to kill 100 fourth-level lords!
Wang Tao only has 12 coins now, which is still far behind. However, if the fourth-level lord has more zombies and monsters in the future, he will accumulate quickly...
"It's okay, it's just waking up! It's no big deal! You guys wake up first, just come back and protect me, haha!"
Wei Zhenguo sighed first, then smiled.
He was indeed a little disappointed, but not sad.
It's the best if you can do it. If you can't, there's no need to be too disappointed. Wei Zhenguo feels that he is lucky to have survived, and now he has earned every extra day he lives. He just felt a little ashamed for wasting several of Wang Tao's crystal cores and awakening keys.
Compared with Wei Zhenguo, Han Rui was very sad.
She wanted to quickly improve her strength to help Wang Tao, but now it seems that she is likely to be held back... After all, after her failure this time, she will need two awakening keys to awaken next time, and the probability of awakening has also been reduced to 40%. . Rationally speaking, she is no longer suitable for awakening, and it is more appropriate to give this opportunity to others.
Seeing Han Rui biting her lip, tears welled up in her eyes. Wang Tao kissed her on the forehead.
“Okay, okay, let alone the first failure, even if you fail in the future, I will protect you!”
It was okay if Wang Tao didn't say it, but it was even more uncomfortable when he mentioned Han Rui.
She thought that in the future, everyone else would successfully awaken, but she would still be at the third level and still need Wang Tao's protection... So what's the difference between her and a waste?
“Woo woo…”
Han Rui immediately fell into Wang Tao's arms and cried loudly.
“...If you can't speak, then don't speak!”
Ding Yuqin rolled her eyes at Wang Tao, then quickly snatched Han Rui out of Wang Tao's arms and went to the side to educate her alone.
Wang Tao shrugged and then said:
“You guys take Lao He back to the room, and we'll know what awakened them by this time tomorrow!”
"good!"
Wei Zhenguo and several people carried He Jijun away. Wang Tao carried Lan Yulian into his room.
He is looking forward to Lan Yulian's awakening, after all, she is a big breast. The improvement in her strength is equivalent to the improvement in the overall strength of Wang Tao's team.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Cui Sheng came again.
“Mr. Wang, the city hall is going to open some meteorites this afternoon to check the situation. Do you think you have time?”
Cui Sheng is quite interesting. Wang Tao gave him his contact information, but Cui Sheng never contacted Wang Tao and came over in person for everything.
"Where?"
“Because monsters may appear, causing panic among residents. Therefore, the city hall set up a temporary camp outside the east gate of the base.”
“Okay, let's go.”
Wang Tao nodded, he was also looking forward to those crystal energy star meteorites.
“Okay! Are you alone, or...”
Wang Tao thought for a while and prepared to bring Xiang Hongbin, Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan with him.
He had planned to get a better set of prosthetic legs for Xiang Hongbin before, so he happened to ask this time that the city hall should have such a thing.
As for Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun, it was natural to start a fight or something.
However, Lightning, who was playing with Lu Gang and the others, found out from somewhere that Wang Tao was about to go out, so he ran over and rubbed his head against Wang Tao's leg.
“Okay, okay, I'll take you with me.”
“Woof!”
So Wang Tao got into the car with Nie Siyan, Xu Xiaojun, Xiang Hongbin and Ling Ling.
Cui Sheng prepared several vehicles, including an extended large off-road vehicle, all bearing the name of the city hall.
After all, Wang Tao is a fourth-level superpower. Wang Tao may not care much about ostentation, but he must pay attention to these details.
In the car, Cui Sheng told Wang Tao the specific situation.
“At present, in addition to you and our city hall, there are also the Hope Research Institute, the Fourth Army, the Stormtrooper Army, the Vientiane Alliance, and the Loyalty Gang..."
After Cui Sheng's introduction, Wang Tao also had a general understanding of these forces.
It is worth mentioning that the bald man who opened the meteorite and released the monster was a member of the Zhongyi Gang, or to be precise, a non-staff member of the Zhongyi Gang.
This kind of non-staff personnel generally fall into two situations.
One naturally is that you are not strong enough and they won't accept you as a formal member, so you can only be a non-staff member first, perform well and wait for the opportunity.
The other is if you are strong enough and want to join a force for some reason, but don't want to be too restricted, then become a non-staff member. Bald men fall into the second situation.
The Zhongyi Gang is a large force, and their gang leader is one of the 23 members of the committee.
Cui Sheng said that the city hall did not punish the bald man very much, but only fined him some symbolic money. After all, those who don't know are not to blame, the bald man is equivalent to helping them wade through troubled waters. And there are other people who open meteorites and release monsters, so we can't all be punished.
But this morning, the Zhongyi Gang severely punished the bald man. In the square where the cockroach monster was destroyed, in the presence of many people, the bald man, who had been stripped naked, was beaten half to death. If the onlookers hadn't rationally begged for mercy, the bald man might have been beaten to death.
After punishing the bald man, the Zhongyi Gang took out a lot of money and supplies and gave them to the families of those who were injured and those who died because of the cockroach monster, saying it was compensation for them.
The people who received the money were immediately grateful. The compensation from the city hall had not yet arrived, but they received compensation from the Zhongyi Gang first. They can receive two compensations!
Hearing these things, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
From the public's perspective, there is nothing wrong with what the Loyalty Gang did. It not only punished the culprit who caused all this, but also provided financial compensation to the victims.
But from the perspective of the city hall, this series of actions by the Zhongyi Gang is intriguing.
After all, the City Hall is the one that really manages things at Changhe Base and is the official organization here.
You fined people who the city hall didn't fine. You compensated those who the city hall did not compensate... What are you trying to do?
“That's interesting! Is your leader unhappy?”
Wang Tao asked with a smile.
Cui Sheng suddenly looked at Wang Tao in surprise.
“Mr. Wang, how do you know? I was scolded by my boss today...cough!”
He didn't know whether Cui Sheng was really surprised or fake. Wang Tao did not answer, but said again:
“Is that bald man here today?”
Wang Tao was a little curious whether this bald man did it voluntarily. After all, he is also a third-level superpower. Being humiliated and punished in front of so many ordinary people...
“No, he was seriously injured and is recuperating at home.”
Cui Sheng said quickly. Wang Tao nodded, said nothing more, and continued to listen to Cui Sheng's popular science about other forces.
An hour later, the convoy arrived at the East City Gate.
Although this is not the first time he has seen the high wall of Changhe Base, Wang Tao is amazed every time he sees it. I really don't know how they built such a high wall in such a short time.
Heavily armed soldiers are on duty in front of the city gate. You need to register when you go out, and you need to check when you come in.
Hum—
After Cui Sheng revealed his identity, one of the thick small doors opened.
The convoy drove out one after another.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect. After leaving the base, Wang Tao felt that the air outside was much turbid.
“Mr. Wang, right in front!”
Cui Sheng pointed to the road ahead.
Not far ahead is a military green tent.
Around the tent, there were an infantry fighting vehicle, tanks, artillery, a large number of mechanical exoskeleton soldiers, several power armors, and two armed helicopters parked on the ground...
This battle is too big!
Wang Tao can only say that the city hall is well prepared.
Soon, the convoy arrived at this temporary camp. The garrisoned soldiers moved out of the way, allowing the convoy to enter smoothly.
In the car, Cui Sheng was a little excited compared to Wang Tao who was very calm.
He has basically never participated in an event of this scale. If it were not for Wang Tao, he would obviously not be qualified.
However, no matter how excited he was, he never forgot his job. When the car slowly stopped, he immediately got out of the car first and ran over to help Wang Tao open the door.
A group of people stood outside the big tent of the camp.
Looking at the motorcade with the sign of City Hall coming slowly, a man with a heavy back and a scary scar on his face said:
“Is this the new guy?”
Standing next to the scarred man was a tall, thin, handsome man in military uniform who explained:
“Well. That's him. His name is Wang Tao, and he is an awakened person.”
“Tsk, tsk, being able to wake up outside... is pretty awesome!”
The scarred man admired.
Only those who have sprinted towards awakening, or have already awakened, will know how difficult it is to awaken.
Most of the awakened ones in Changhe Base rely on their numerical and equipment advantages to kill zombies and slowly accumulate enough awakening conditions.
There are only a few people like Wang Tao who have awakened by themselves or some small forces outside Changhe Base.
This also illustrates a problem—this Wang Tao was very powerful before he awakened!
At this time, a man wearing black armor, holding a big knife in his hand, and holding a sword on his arm sneered:
“Haha, no matter whether you were powerful or not before awakening, as soon as you awaken, the awakened ones will start from the same starting line and be equally strong! We don't need to emulate others' ambitions and destroy our own prestige!”
Hearing what he said, some people showed no expression on their faces, while others nodded secretly. But some people objected.
"Hey! You can't say that, we are all one family! As long as we are ambitious and majestic... we can live in harmony and peace and survive in the last days!"
The speaker is a middle-aged man who is a little fat and has a faint smile on his face.
Hearing him speak, the armored man snorted, but said nothing more.
Hum—
The motorcade slowly stopped not far from the crowd.
The passenger door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a secretary trotted out of the car and came to the back seat to open the door.
“Oh, where did you find this bitch?”
The man in armor made a disdainful sound.
As soon as he said these words, several people glanced at the man standing among them who was wearing a high-end suit and his hair was meticulously combed.
The man in the suit said expressionlessly:
“Maybe you got it from me.”
The armored man didn't react for a while, but someone next to him reminded him in a low voice:
“That person is Secretary-General Gu's subordinate.”
ification
The armored man suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned his head.
Others looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare, but no one said anything.
After Cui Sheng opened the car door, what came out was a very burly man in a suit, and a beautiful woman in a skirt who looked like a secretary.
After the man and the woman came down, they immediately stood aside like bodyguards.
Then a strong man with a disfigured face, multiple disabilities on his body, and prosthetic limbs got out of the car.
Seeing this man, everyone frowned.
With this kind of injury...can you still survive?
This disabled strong man was holding an iron chain in his hand, and at the end of the chain, a huge military dog came out!
Seeing this military dog, everyone exclaimed in their hearts—what a handsome dog!
Furthermore...is this a third-level mutant beast?
Almost everyone's eyes are shining!
Mutated beasts, or military dogs! This is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought!
Finally, an extremely tall man wearing casual clothes and handsome appearance walked down.
“Hello everyone, I am Wang Tao.”
Looking at the group of people standing in front of him, Wang Tao nodded slightly.
“Hello Mr. Wang, my name is Gu Yun.”
The man in the suit came over and reached out his hand.
Cui Sheng, who was following Wang Tao, quickly explained in a low voice:
“Mr. Wang, this is Secretary-General Gu of our city hall!”
“Secretary-General Gu, hello!”
Wang Tao and Gu Yun shook hands.
【HP: 35000/35000】
【Blue amount: 13600/13600】
【Level: Level 3】
This Gu Yun is an ordinary third-level superpower with no hidden ability, and his blood volume has not even reached the upper limit.
In the city hall, secretary-general seems to have only one more word than secretary, but they are actually very different.
The Secretary-General is a senior management position that presides over the overall work of the City Hall and serves the main leaders.
The secretary of the city hall, if there is no other part-time job, is just an errand boy, without even a formal position, let alone various rights.
This Gu Yun is Cui Sheng's direct leader. Cui Sheng's behavior of respecting Wang Tao so much and personally delivering Wang Tao's trophies must have been prompted by Gu Yun. Otherwise, even if Cui Sheng had the courage, he would not have the right.
“Mr. Wang, please, let me introduce you...”
Gu Yun brought Wang Tao to the crowd and introduced them in order of standing:
“This is the leader of the Stormtroopers, Zide.”
Qide is a man with a strong back and a heavy waist, with a scar on his face. He is a little shorter than Wang Tao, probably about 1.9 meters, but he is stronger than Wang Tao and even Xu Xiaojun!
“Haha, hello Mr. Wang! It's better to meet than to be famous! Welcome!”
Zide laughed and held out his hand. His face looked a bit fierce, especially the scar, which looked like a squirming centipede when he smiled.
“Hello, Boss Qi!”
Wang Tao reached out and shook his hand.
【HP: 100000/100000】
【Blue amount: 31200/31200】
【Level: Level 4】
【Awakening: Powerful】
【Strong: All basic attributes are improved in all aspects, and strength is greatly improved (the extent of improvement is related to the upper limit of awakened energy)】
This is the first time in a long time that Wang Tao has seen an awakened person other than himself.
Moreover, Zid's awakening is a passive awakening. The explosive ability of passive awakening is definitely not as good as active awakening, but it is very long-lasting. After all, it happens passively.
But Wang Tao has always had a problem before. For passive awakening, awakening energy seems to be of no use?
Now after seeing Qide's attributes, Wang Tao understands that awakening energy is also useful for passive awakening!
