Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 80

Chapter 80 I am a person with superpowers

 “Are you a superpower?!”

Everyone subconsciously exclaimed. Wei Zhenguo even held the bed and was about to get up. Fortunately, he was held down by others.

"I am."

Wang Tao nodded again.

While speaking, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

 A circle of ripples visible to the naked eye spread from Wang Tao's fingertips to all directions, and a shabby poster hanging on the wall next to him was lifted up and then shattered.

 “Superpower·Shock Wave.”

Wang Tao spoke calmly.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw everything in front of them. After being stunned for a while, they looked at Wang Tao with excitement and surprise.

 “He is actually a person with super powers!”

 “Can we really become superpowers?!”

“Why do I feel like this power is better than a gun? It doesn't make any sound, but the sound of the gun is too loud…”

 Several soldiers could no longer maintain discipline, and they all whispered excitedly.

 Doctor Chen looked at Wang Tao with excitement and expectation.

"Mr. Wang, if you don't mind, can you let me study it - oh no, observe it for a while? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you!"

"I mind."

 “You cure your disease!”

Wei Zhenguo turned his head and scolded him, as if the injured person being treated was not him. Then he turned back and showed a smile to Wang Tao:

“Comrade Wang, I'm not lying to you. As long as a person with superpowers is willing to stay in our base, he or she can be directly promoted to a committee member!”

Wei Zhenguo first confirmed what he said before, and then said seriously:

“But since ancient times, rights and obligations have been equal. While enjoying rights, you must naturally fulfill corresponding obligations. If you don't have this ideological awareness... you will not be able to become a member of the committee!”

 Wang Tao is not surprised by Wei Zhenguo's words. After all, Wei Zhenguo himself is a security force, and his ideological consciousness must be much higher than that of ordinary people.

Wang Tao doesn't mind helping other survivors when he is able. But this help is voluntary, not that he has to be a nanny.

 So, Wang Tao asked directly:

 “What are the rights? What are the obligations?”

Wei Zhenguo took a long puff of cigarette, and then said:

"Members can enjoy all the resources in the base! For some important resources, you can say hello to other members before using them, as long as there are not too many people who object. This is the right of the members. As for the obligations... it is actually very simple. Our base does not We will force anyone to do anything, and everything we do is based on contribution, including committee members!”

"So the obligation of the committee member is: to provide a minimum contribution of 10,000 to the base every month! Whether it is protecting the base, going out to search for supplies, or finding new survivors, as long as it can provide a contribution of 10,000 to the base every month The degree is enough. If you fail to meet this condition, it means you will automatically withdraw from the position of committee member..."

Ten thousand contribution points per month is not high, at least Wang Tao doesn't think it is high. He can complete it without much effort.

However, this contribution is calculated in units of months, and it is only about a month before the end of the world... How many times have they implemented it?

As if he knew what Wang Tao was thinking, Wei Zhenguo said directly:

"Things like the committee system and contribution levels have actually been discussed by us recently and are currently in trial operation. There may be some problems and shortcomings. But I believe that this may not be the most perfect system, but it is definitely the most perfect one. A system suitable for Mizuze Base!”

Looking at the somewhat impassioned Wei Zhenguo, Wang Tao did not express any opinion.

 This system looks okay, but this is the end of the world. There are too many uncertainties, including zombies, unknown monsters, and even people.

So Wang Tao couldn't say whether it was good or not. He could only say that he would take it one step at a time.

"What do you think? If you can accept it, when they all come back later, we will officially promote you to a committee member, and some details will be explained to you clearly."

 Wei Zhenguo saw Wang Tao didn't respond, so he spoke a little eagerly.

"no problem."

 Wang Tao agreed directly.

His purpose of revealing that he is a superpower is to win the seat on this committee.

 Hidden strength? It must be hidden, after all, it is always a trump card. But when it's time to flex your muscles, you have to show them.

Just like now, Wang Tao is planning to live in Shuize Base, and Shuize Base values ​​​​people with special abilities and even directly gives seats to committee members.

If he doesn't take advantage of the fact that there are few people with super powers now and take this position quickly, if there are more people with super powers in the future, the conditions will definitely improve.

Wang Tao is actually not very keen on power or anything like that—at least not now.

 He now wants to improve his strength and collect more materials to increase his capital for survival in the last days.

 But if there is a chance to live a better life, then there is no need for him to hide it.

For example, if we take down this committee member...he definitely can't stay in the base all the time. He wants to go out to kill zombies, he wants crystal cores, and he wants to become stronger. Then while getting stronger, there is no problem in collecting some materials in exchange for contribution points.

Wang Tao chatted with Wei Zhenguo for a while, but as the doctor prescribed medicine, Wei Zhenguo became more and more sleepy. Wang Tao took the initiative to stop communicating.

“No, I'm too sleepy, I'll take a nap first…”

Wei Zhenguo smoked half of his fourth cigarette and fell asleep on the hospital bed.

 The soldier next to him very considerately put out Wei Zhenguo's cigarette and put it in the cigarette case.

 The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said to the soldier:

"It's stable for the time being. There is no life-threatening danger to the Wei Squadron, but we need to recuperate for a while and can't go out again."

 “Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Chen.”

 The soldier saluted.

 “Hey! This is what I should do!”

 The doctor went to wash his hands briefly, then came to Wang Tao and stretched out his hand.

 Hello, my name is Chen Zhuang. Erdong Chen, the strong Zhuang.

After pausing for a moment on the opponent's numb figure, Wang Tao reached out and shook hands with the opponent.

 “Hello, Dr. Chen.”

"Wang Tao, I haven't seen a living superpower yet! You really don't want me to observe it for a while? This superpower is a new thing after all. You may not know many things yourself, but let's observe and discuss it together. Maybe we'll figure it out!”

 Chen Zhuang still doesn't want to give up.

 “Still not.”

Wang Tao shook his head quickly, you said it would be fine if you were a beauty. A grown man, I want to observe what he does all day long...

"By the way, you said you haven't seen any superpowers? Who are the superpowers that the squadron has seen?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

“I have indeed never seen it before. It was something that the Wei Squadron saw outside. He said that he saw a very powerful person. That person was holding a steel bar and could deal with many zombies with one person's strength..."

"Is that so...he wasn't invited to the base?"

Wang Tao asked again.

“The Guards Squadron said he invited him, but he is a superpower and is able to do whatever he wants in the apocalypse. Naturally, he doesn't want to come to our place and be restrained…”

 Chen Zhuang's tone was a little sour.

It may be true that you don't want to be restricted. After all, if you suddenly gain superpowers, who will not be inflated if you change it? If Wang Tao hadn't seen many special zombies and the terrifying monster with 10,000 HP, he might have been a little bloated.

However, being able to roam freely in the apocalypse is purely Chen Zhuang's imagination, especially the "crazy" zombies that have appeared recently. Even he dare not say that he will be able to deal with them.

“Hey, by the way, can you tell me how your superpowers came about? Did you eat a zombie crystal core?”

 Chen Zhuang didn't worry too much about other people. He quickly asked the question he was most concerned about now.

 The soldiers standing by the hospital bed not far away also pricked up their ears.

Wang Tao did not answer directly, but said a little strangely:

“Didn't Squadron Wei just say that humans will become superpowers after eating zombie crystal cores? How did you…”

“Well, that's it. This conclusion is just our guess. We have also done some experiments, but... none of them succeeded..."

Chen Zhuang was a little embarrassed.

"..." It was pretending to be pretending to be pretending, right?

However, Wang Tao also heard an important message from Chen Zhuang's words.

“You have also done some experiments? Does that mean you have a lot of zombie nuclei?”

Wang Tao looked at Chen Zhuangdao.

“It's not a lot, but after all, we have some people and guns in our base, and we still killed a few special zombies... What? Are you interested in zombie crystal cores?”

Chen Zhuang is also a human spirit, and it can be seen that Wang Tao pays more attention to these crystal nuclei.

"Of course." Wang Tao admitted openly at first, and then said, "My superpowers are obtained by eating this zombie crystal core. People with superpowers will continue to become stronger if they continue to eat the same type of zombie crystal cores... "

“As expected, he is eating crystal cores! And he will continue to become stronger!”

 Chen Zhuang and the soldiers had a look of yearning on their faces.

 “But, this has side effects.”

Wang Tao suddenly said again.

 “Huh? Side effects? What side effects?”

 Chen Zhuang was a little confused. He obviously didn't know about this problem.

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. You can simply understand that eating this zombie crystal core will indeed gain super powers, and the more you eat, the stronger the super powers will be. But at the same time, impurities will accumulate in your body. Impurities Too much will cause harm to the body and even turn into a zombie!”

 There is no need for Wang Tao to hide the fact that eating zombie crystal cores will lead to supernatural powers. As soon as the zombie crystal core appears, people can't help but want to eat it, and there is no way to hide it.

However, in addition to the advantages, Wang Tao also mentioned the disadvantages of zombie crystal cores. Whether to eat or not is someone else's business, and he has no right to control it. The most he can do is remind everyone to be more cautious when integrating.

 “It's so serious...”

Chen Zhuang was a little surprised.

 “This is the price of becoming stronger!”

Wang Tao looked out the window, his tone a little vicissitudes.

 Although he does not have to pay this price, it does not prevent him from showing off a little.

 The soldiers next to them suddenly felt a sense of awe.

 “Then we need to think about whether we should obtain superpowers or not?”

Chen Zhuang murmured.

"That's not the case. If you have the chance, it's always good to become a person with superpowers. What I want to say is that you must always understand that becoming stronger requires paying a price. In addition, superpowers are not something you just want. It's possible, haven't you tried it and failed?"

 “Well, that's what you said too…”

“Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention it. Even if the fusion of zombie crystal nuclei fails, impurities will still accumulate in the body.”

"Good guy, luckily I didn't use it! But will the people they used it be in danger? They ate the zombie crystal core, but they didn't gain any superpowers..."

 Chen Zhuang and the soldiers looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

 Wang Tao explained:

 “It's okay for now, but something might happen if you eat too much.”

“That's good.” Chen Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and then added, “But the probability of obtaining superpowers by eating zombie crystal cores seems to be very low! Three of us have done experiments, but none of them succeeded..."

Wang Tao has reason to suspect that the crystal nuclei fused by these three unlucky guys are all crystal nuclei with a success rate of less than 50%.

However, they were able to take out three crystal nuclei for experiments, so it seems that they still have a lot on hand!

 After becoming a committee member, you should be able to use these crystal nuclei, right?

Wang Tao thought secretly.

Regarding the matter of Wang Tao becoming a committee member, Wei Zhenguo woke up once in the middle. He said that several committee members were outside now and it was difficult for him to make decisions alone. After everyone returns, they will discuss some details with Wang Tao. If Wang Tao has no problem, he will directly become a member of the base's committee.

It was only then that Wang Tao learned that among the seven committee members in the base, except for committee member Liu who knew electronic technology and committee member Zhou who managed personnel, the other five committee members would go out to search for supplies.

Of course, this does not mean that they are completely selfless.

Wei Zhenguo told Wang Tao directly that they chose to search for supplies. On the one hand, it was indeed good for the base, and on the other hand, it also accumulated contribution points. But on the other hand, killing zombies can improve their strength!

Although Wei Zhenguo and the others can't see the health bar, their health bar will increase when they kill zombies. Especially when the health bar reaches a hundred, the feeling of improved physical fitness is still relatively clear.

They may not go out of their way to kill zombies, but they will definitely take action when encountering zombies blocking their way. Becoming stronger and bringing benefits to the base can be done at the same time.

And Wei Zhenguo knew very well that now is the end of the world, and strength is the basis for survival in the end of the world. Without strength, there is no way to convince the public.

 They have guns, but the bullets will eventually run out.

If they don't have absolute strength when the bullets run out, then he is sure that someone will want to overthrow him and replace him.

 So, it is important to improve one's own strength. Regardless of whether Wei Zhenguo is a member of the committee or not, he will go out to collect supplies and hunt zombies at the same time.

Wang Tao feels the same way. In the end of the world, strength is everything. Everything else is false.

After Wei Zhenguo fell asleep again, Wang Tao chatted with Chen Zhuang for a while and then left.

 In fact, he wanted to find out more information, but Dr. Chen kept thinking about studying him, which made Wang Tao very uncomfortable, so he had to withdraw first.

Before leaving, Chen Zhuang also asked Wang Tao to attend the welcome ceremony in the evening, saying that he would definitely be very popular with the girls in the base. If he was single, he might as well find a companion.

Wang Tao shook his head speechlessly, what kind of person is he?

But he still has to go in the evening. It has nothing to do with girls or anything. The main thing is that he gets to know other people in the base.

In the afternoon, Wang Tao was not in a hurry to go out to buy materials. Instead, he walked around the base, felt the atmosphere of the base, and exchanged food stamps for a meal. As for the evaluation of the food... I can only say that it is edible.

 At night, the rain stopped.

More than two hundred people gathered together in the square outside the complex, which looked quite spectacular. Especially since Wang Tao had not seen many people in this month, seeing so many people at once made him feel a "human touch".

However, Wang Tao's eyes did not stay on these people for too long. He looked at the fire outside the base and was suddenly a little surprised.

 He had previously considered how to prevent zombies from entering the base if a survivor base was established. The simplest way would be to build a wall.

　At the beginning of the apocalypse, walls can indeed keep out zombies. But one month after the apocalypse came, the wall was no longer feasible, or that kind of short wall was no longer viable, because zombies that could climb the wall appeared.

 Building a taller wall should be able to block it, but building such a wall would require a lot of people. Ordinary survivor bases, including this Shuizhe base, do not have enough manpower to carry out infrastructure construction.

Then Wang Tao thought, since zombies are afraid of fire, if the area around the survivor base is set on fire, will the zombies not come over?

Wang Tao thinks this idea should be feasible, but he has no chance to test it.

Now, he saw that the Shuize Base was doing just that.

When Wang Tao arrived, he saw many iron barrels with burning marks at the entrance of Shuize Base. Now at night, flames were ignited in these iron barrels, including some walls - the entire base seemed to be surrounded by flames.

Outside the base, some zombies subconsciously wanted to come over after feeling the light, but the heat of the flames made them retreat. They did not dare to step forward and only dared to roar in the distance.

"Hey!"

 Chen Zhuang patted Wang Tao on the shoulder.

"These fires are pretty good, right? After we accidentally discovered that zombies are afraid of fire, we came up with this method of surrounding the base with fire. Facts have proved that this is a very wise decision! Don't think that the light of the flames will attract Zombies—Although they can indeed attract some, they don't dare to come and will leave naturally during the day. You must also know that zombies are particularly active at night. If we don't do this, the walls of our base may not be able to stop them. They, not to mention the emergence of 'crazy' zombies that can climb walls..."

Looking at Chen Zhuang's somewhat complacent look, Wang Tao did not disappoint and said that he had long known that zombies were afraid of fire, and had also thought of using fire to block zombies.

 “It's really great.”

Wang Tao praised.

 His praise greatly benefited Chen Zhuang.

At this time, a woman wearing a black police uniform appeared next to Wang Tao.

 “Huh? Are you...new here today?”

 Chen Zhuang was surprised when he saw Han Rui. In his impression, there was no such female police officer in the base.

“Hello, my name is Han Rui. I came to our base today with Mr. Wang Tao.”

Han Rui shook hands with Chen Zhuang generously.

“You came here together? Are you husband and wife?”

 Chen Zhuang looked at Wang Tao and Han Rui very much, and felt that the two of them were a good match.

“You misunderstood, we met halfway. Han Rui's husband seems to be from our base too?”

Wang Tao took the initiative to explain.

 “Oh, sorry, sorry!”

 Chen Zhuang knew that he had made a mistake and apologized quickly.

Han Rui first smiled apologetically at Wang Tao, and then a sad look appeared on her face.

 “My husband…hasn't come back yet…”
