Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 389

Chapter 389 Being kicked out

"What's happening here?"

Wang Tao has seen a rise in impurities in the body, but he has never seen such a sudden surge.

And after soaring, it can actually decrease? This is beyond Wang Tao's understanding... You must know that even using inhibitors can only suppress the onset of the virus, but it cannot reduce the impurities in the body.

At present, Wang Tao only knows of two ways to reduce impurities in the body.

One is promotion. After each promotion, the impurities in the body will be reduced by 50%. This is also how most people can reduce the impurities in the body.

The other is to use "clearing agents". Each bottle of clearing agents can reduce impurities by 1%, and the effect is immediate. But only Wang Tao has the cleaning potion, and there are not many, just enough for Wang Tao himself.

These two women obviously did not belong to either category, so Wang Tao was surprised.

“What's wrong with them?”

Qu Shilin curiously poked the body of one of the women, but the other woman had no reaction.

Since the environment was relatively dark just now, the two women's speed from attacking Wang Tao to being subdued by Wang Tao was too fast, so Qu Shilin did not see what happened very clearly. She just vaguely saw that some changes had occurred in the other person's body.

“I'm not sure. I feel like I'm turning into a zombie, and my body is almost reaching 100%. But... it's suddenly suppressed? The impurities in my body are reduced, and it's back to its previous state..."

Wang Tao shook his head, and then looked at Qu Shilin.

There is no special status on the opponent's head, and he cannot judge the cause. Maybe researcher Qu Shilin can see some problems?

Qu Shilin was also confused after hearing Wang Tao's words.

“Impurities in the body? Has it turned into a zombie? Let me test it.”

Qu Shilin took a portable detector from the car that can detect impurities in the body. This is the latest thing made by their research institute, and it was installed on the car by Qu Shilin.

Wang Tao naturally doesn't need this thing, but Qu Shilin didn't know that Wang Tao could see impurities in the body. She thought Wang Tao was guessing, so she wanted to test it herself.

Qu Shilin picked some hair from the two women lying on the ground and put it in the instrument. After a while, two lines of small words appeared on the small screen on the instrument.

【Energy: Level 0】

【Impurities: Level 10】

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment when he saw the test results.

The current detector has become more accurate after several iterations.

In the past, it could only detect levels 0 to 5, but now it can detect levels 10. Now each level represents 10% of the impurities in the body, so level 10 represents 90%-100% of the impurities in the body!

But Wang Tao clearly saw that the impurities in the two women's bodies were 54% and 60% respectively... The test results were different from what he saw!

Wang Tao suspected that there might be something wrong with the instrument. After all, there shouldn't be anything wrong with what he was seeing, right?

“Level 10 impurities in the body!”

Qu Shilin's face was very serious.

Under normal circumstances, when the impurities in the human body exceed level 8, which is more than 80%, some zombie characteristics will appear. Such as skin ulcers, white eyes, exposed blood vessels...

These characteristics are similar to those of being infected with a zombie virus. They may mutate at any time, and inhibitors will have no effect.

“But the impurities in these two people's bodies are already level 10, but they don't have the characteristics of zombies. This is unreasonable..."

Qu Shilin muttered again, and then looked at Wang Tao again.

“Oh, by the way, you just said that they showed zombie characteristics and then disappeared?”

"right."

Wang Tao nodded.

“This is unscientific! How can zombie characteristics disappear after they appear…”

Seeing Qu Shilin's doubts, Wang Tao glanced at Jiang Shixue subconsciously, and Jiang Shixue happened to look over, and the two looked at each other in tacit understanding.

The previous Jiang Shixue no longer showed zombie characteristics, but directly turned into a zombie, but was eventually rescued by Wang Tao.

However, Jiang Shixue's situation is different. She used purification potion.

As for these two women, Wang Tao could see clearly that they had not taken anything.

The impurities in the bodies of these two women are not more than 80% now, and it is reasonable to have no zombie characteristics... Therefore, there is still something wrong with Qu Shilin's detector. Or maybe there is some delay in its detection principle?

Anyway, Wang Tao could directly see that the attributes matched the current status of the two women, so... what he saw should be accurate.

At this time, Qu Shilin suddenly said again:

"If there is too much accumulation of impurities in the human body, the body will undergo some changes. These changes are not only reflected in the appearance, but also changes internally. The detector determines how many impurities are in the other person's body by observing these changes. According to As far as I know, only promotion can eliminate this change, and other methods cannot eliminate it. It is basically irreversible! I speculate that the two of them may have changed back because of their appearance, but there are still some traces of the original condition in their bodies, so The detector detected that there were still many impurities in their bodies..."

Wang Tao nodded secretly, Qu Shilin's explanation should be considered more reasonable.

Simply put, the impurities in the body are like a person's file. When the impurities in the body are too high, it is equivalent to having a criminal record. This record can only be partially eliminated through promotion, or by removing potions, but other methods cannot eliminate it. The detector is equivalent to investigating a person's file. Once a criminal record is found, it will directly show that the person has stains.

“So, what's going on with them? Will they turn into zombies again?”

Ding Yuqin frowned and asked.

Although she is kind-hearted, she is not a good person. If these two people still pose a threat to Wang Tao, she doesn't mind getting rid of them.

"I have no idea…"

Qu Shilin shook her head.

“I don't know…but there must be something wrong with these two people.”

Wang Tao also shook his head.

　Let's not talk about the sudden increase and decrease of impurities in the body. Let's just say that there is something wrong with their strength——

They are obviously ordinary people, but their speed when they pounced on Wang Tao was no less than level three!

Wang Tao took another look at the 1v3 situation over there. Their battle was not over yet, and it seemed that the second round had already begun. The woman has been tied to the pillar with an iron chain and has never been released, but she has not turned into a zombie or anything.

After being unable to see anything for the time being, Wang Tao came back again.

“Let's wake her up first and ask.”

Wang Tao just used a mental attack to knock these two women into coma, and the strength was just right. If he had used more force, they would probably be dead.

Nie Siyan came over and woke up the two women.

"Well…"

The two women were still a little dazed after waking up.

　　When they saw Wang Tao, they subconsciously wanted to crawl over to Wang Tao.

“Big brother~”

Everyone was on guard that she might attack suddenly, but they just crawled to Wang Tao's side without any intention of attacking.

"Why are you attacking me?" Wang Tao knelt down and looked at the two women seriously.

　　“Ah? I, we didn't attack the boss…”

The two women looked a little confused, and they didn't look like they were lying.

“Hmm? Amnesia? No memory?”

Wang Tao frowned.

But these two women may also be faking...

Wang Tao continued to ask about the situation just now, and then carefully observed every move of the two women with his mental power.

If the other party is lying, it can be seen through some details.

Ten minutes later, Wang Tao stopped asking questions.

The two women really knew nothing. The memory of their attack on Wang Tao just now was gone.

Everyone frowned.

They have never seen this situation before. Is this a mental problem? Or encountered some mysterious phenomena?

Wang Tao quietly inquired about the surrounding situation, and did not feel like he was in a fantasy world...

“Brother, you must have remembered it wrong, we really didn't attack you! You just gave us so much food, how could we attack you!”

Looking at the aggrieved look of the two women, Wang Tao shook his head.

"It seems that I haven't had a good rest recently and I'm hallucinating... I won't talk about this anymore. Please put on your clothes."

The two women saw that Wang Tao really didn't seem to be interested in them, so they had to put on their clothes again shivering. It's only a few degrees now, and it's still very cold.

After they got dressed, Wang Tao asked again:

“Let me ask you, now that you are free, do you plan to wander in the apocalypse, or do you plan to follow me back to Changhe Base?”

Wang Tao just asked this question, but the two women didn't know if they didn't hear it before. They took off their clothes as soon as they came up, and then suddenly attacked Wang Tao, so they didn't answer.

Now hearing this question again, the reactions of the two women were somewhat beyond Wang Tao's expectations.

“Freedom? We don't want freedom! We want food!”

Looking at the frightened faces of the two people, Wang Tao and everyone were a little puzzled.

If they are wandering in the apocalypse, they may really not be able to get food. After all, they are ordinary people under normal conditions.

But Wang Tao only gave them a choice and did not actually let them go wandering.

Wang Tao's original intention was to take them back to the base. Wouldn't there be food there?

Isn't this better than being chained and selling your body in exchange for some food that can't fill your stomach?

"I told you, you can follow me to Changhe Base, you don't have to wander here..."

“We can't go! We can't go to Changhe Base!”

The two women's heads shook like rattles.

“Hmm? Why?”

Wang Tao frowned.

"Because...we were kicked out of Changhe Base!"

There was some fear in the eyes of both women.

Wang Tao was a little confused. Will Changhe Base kick them out? This is unlikely!

Changhe base is very short of people. Normally it is impossible to drive people out.

Unless they have a criminal record, such as Shang Qin, who was imprisoned and tortured, they will definitely not be allowed in if they are discovered.

But this woman is a victim... Could it be that when they went to Changhe Base, they were already in a state of "suddenly becoming like zombies"?

As if thinking of something sad, one of the women wiped her tears and said:

“We walked a long way and went through life and death to reach Changhe Base, but they said we were unqualified in something, so they kicked us out... There was a wave of corpses at that time, and we almost died..."

“Unqualified?”

Wang Tao subconsciously looked at Qu Shilin.

He has just arrived at Changhe Base not long ago, and is not very familiar with many things here. Qu Shilin came to Changhe Base much earlier than him, so she should know something, right?

Qu Shilin frowned at first, and then suddenly felt enlightened.

“Wang Tao seems to know what's going on...”

Changhe Base classifies people with more than 80% impurities in their bodies as a high-risk group, and their risk level is even higher than that of people infected with the zombie virus.

People infected with the zombie virus are recorded and no one will hide it. Because the base will sponsor certain inhibitors for free.

But this situation of excessive impurities in the body is relatively hidden, and even the person involved is not aware of it, and it is not necessarily the fusion of crystal nuclei that will increase the amount of impurities in the body. Other things may also increase... so the risk is relatively greater.

If the impurities in the body of an official resident of the base reach 80%, they may be monitored every day, and this is only if you have a certain role. If an ordinary person reaches such a high level of impurities in the body, the base will send you Go to a special place for closed management. This place is full of people with high impurities in their bodies, and it's a bit like a prison. But it's not as strict as a prison. Except that you can't come out casually, life inside is not much different from outside.

There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the destruction of many bases starts from within. This is a lesson learned from the past. If a zombie appears in the base, it may lead to the destruction of the entire base. This kind of thing must be treated with caution.

And the base is already very humane. Although it restricts freedom, at least it allows these people to live in the city and still stay alive.

Because it treats outsiders, the base is much colder—those with more than 80% impurities in the body are not allowed to enter the base.

After all, this thing is like a time bomb, and it will explode at some point. If too many people like this come in to the base, it will be over sooner or later.

The official residents of the base have more or less contributed to the base, and the base should provide them with a living space, but outsiders have not contributed, and the base has no obligation to allow such time bombs to stay in the base...

“So, they may have been turned away by the base because of high levels of impurities in their bodies?”

Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin and said.

"should be."

Qu Shilin nodded.

To prove her speculation, Qu Shilin asked the two women again. Sure enough, as she thought, these two women had fused zombie crystal nuclei before coming to Changhe Base, and they had fused a lot of them. They were all white crystal nuclei, so it was reasonable for them to accumulate a lot of impurities in their bodies.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed reasonable to exclude people with excessive impurities in their bodies. You can't risk hundreds of thousands of lives in the city for a little kindness.

Unless there is a way to deal with the impurities in their bodies... it is obviously not possible to use cleaning agents, and Wang Tao doesn't have a few bottles. Promotion is one way, but the price is high.

“Brother, I know you are a good person, but we really don't need freedom. We are very grateful if you can give us food...”
