NOVEL NEXT Chapter 600 - 251 Sharp Dog Tooth_1
After a trip to the hangar, everyone’s mood wasn’t very good. But life had to go on.
Wang Tao looked at the group and said,
"It’s getting dark, let’s rest at the command center. We’ll clear out all the zombies around the base tomorrow."
"Okay."
Everyone nodded.
Wang Tao then turned to He Jijun.
"Old He, I’ll take you to kill a few zombies; we need to boost your level."
"Sure!"
He Jijun was currently at Level 1 with 1000 HP.
Before, as an ordinary person, his HP could only reach a maximum of 1000.
Now that he had become an Ability User, his HP could continue to increase, but the increase needed time and sleep and was not under control. That’s why Wang Tao had not let him finish off zombies. Otherwise, with the many Level 2 and Level 3 zombies they encountered along the way, a single finishing blow could have added a significant amount of HP.
Now that they were temporarily safe, there was naturally time for He Jijun’s Ascension.
Wang Tao had already had He Jijun merge with the last Level 2 Ascension Crystal Core, but after the merge had happened, he didn’t experience the expected Ascension since his HP wasn’t at 4999 yet. Wang Tao had intentionally not allowed him to merge with the last Crystal Core previously, fearing he might ascend prematurely, but he had overlooked the fact that He Jijun’s HP was insufficient.
However, it wasn’t too late now.
The military base was now divided into two areas, which Wang Tao simply referred to as the inner and outer areas.
The inner area was naturally where they currently resided, obstructed by high walls and electric fences. The outer area was the region accessible through the main gate, which had quite a few zombies.
Wang Tao had mentioned clearing the zombies; he meant starting with those in the outer area. However, it was already dark, and there was no need to work blindly in the night.
Of course, boosting He Jijun’s strength didn’t matter much; it was just a matter of killing a few zombies.
Now that he had full access to the military base, Wang Tao no longer needed to climb over walls; he could simply walk through the main gate.
Buzz~
The noise of the opening gate instantly attracted numerous zombies.
Wang Tao sent out a Shockwave, instantly blowing the approaching zombies away. Then he looked around and spotted a few Level 2 Zombies.
"It’s your turn!"
He Jijun was still at Level 1, and there were extra HP rewards for killing higher-level zombies. Wang Tao’s plan was to ideally get He Jijun up to 4999 HP directly; otherwise, sleeping for every thousand HP would waste a lot of time.
Wang Tao didn’t let He Jijun take action; he quickly took care of the other zombies, leaving only the few Level 2 Zombies.
Since Wang Tao could see their HP bars, he could be very precise with the amount of HP they had left, leaving just a sliver.
Wang Tao chopped off the limbs of these zombies, piled them up together, and handed his Bone Knife to He Jijun. He Jijun gripped the Bone Knife and swung it at the zombies.
Puchi!
The Bone Knife was extremely sharp, and the few Level 2 Zombies already low on HP were instantly beheaded.
Wang Tao clearly saw He Jijun’s HP bar jump from 1000 to 4999!
He Jijun hadn’t even had the chance to marvel at the sharpness of the Bone Knife when a wave of drowsiness hit him.
"I feel sleepy..."
"Rest well."
Wang Tao supported him back into the base.
Lightning saw Wang Tao return and immediately ran over, wagging its tail.
After putting down He Jijun, Wang Tao rubbed Lightning’s little head.
"Let’s go, time for bed!"
There were plenty of rooms in the command center, and everyone got a single room.
Wang Tao chose a relatively spacious room, with Jiang Shixue and Lightning already inside.
Jiang Shixue was used to living with Wang Tao, and Lightning, possibly because it hadn’t seen people for so long, was now exceptionally clingy. Since Wang Tao also particularly enjoyed petting it, he let it sleep in the room.
After a quick wash-up, Jiang Shixue played with Lightning while Wang Tao checked the Loot Pack from today’s kill. The main focus was on the Loot Pack from the Level 3, Lord Zombie Dog.
This was the first time Wang Tao had killed a zombie with a hundred thousand blood, and he had high expectations for its Loot Pack.
Just from killing the Zombie Dog, Special Energy alone had granted Wang Tao 25,000!
As for the other Loot Packs, there were three Loot Packs, A Crystal Core, and four teeth.
Wang Tao first looked at the teeth.
[Sharp dog tooth: This sharp tooth can merge with a creature, causing some mutation in the mouth and granting a Hidden Ability (note: merging four is effective, best results with canine animals)]
"Hm?"
Surprised by the Attributes of these teeth, Wang Tao was intrigued.
These were tailor-made for Lightning!
"Lightning!"
Wang Tao called out, and Lightning, who was frolicking with Jiang Shixue, immediately left her and ran to Wang Tao’s side.
"Bite this!"
Wang Tao placed the four dog teeth in his hand.
Lightning, understanding Wang Tao’s words, wasted no time and licked the teeth straight into its mouth.
The teeth went into Lightning’s mouth and instantly vaporized, vanishing from sight.
"Woof?"
Lightning paused, looking a bit dumbfounded.
It seemed to be wondering why the item its master had put in its mouth had disappeared.
Seeing Lightning’s puzzled expression, Wang Tao laughed heartily. He patted Lightning’s head and said,
"It’s alright, don’t worry."
Wang Tao carefully observed and noticed no difference in Lightning; its bright white teeth showed no change either.
However, Lightning’s Attributes had changed.
[HP: 1000/1000]
[Mana: 0/0]
[Level: Level 1, Ordinary]
[Hidden Attributes: Iron Teeth]
[Iron Teeth: Teeth are sharp, and the mouth will not be infected by the zombie virus]
"Uninfected by the virus? Won’t that mean it can bite zombies at will?"
Wang Tao was pleasantly surprised.
