Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Rumbling--

A convoy of more than 30,000 people left the Shuize base, and the huge noise instantly alarmed the zombies in the entire Shuize County.

However, Shuize County is a small place, and the number of zombies is not that large, at least not comparable to Hongshi County. Moreover, the zombies of level 2 and above in Shuize County have basically been killed by Wang Tao, and the remaining ones are all level 1 zombies.

Under the protection of the army, these first-level zombies cannot cause any harm to the convoy for a while.

But for safety reasons, Bai Hao first sent out a helicopter team to take a tour of Shuize County in advance, luring away many zombies, and then sent out the entire convoy.

In the command vehicle in the middle of the convoy, Wei Zhenguo and others were on edge, fearing any accidents. However, until the convoy left the Shuize base and entered the suburban highway, everything went smoothly without any accidents.

"call--"

Only at this time did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

It cannot be said that we are completely safe at this time, but at least we have safely evacuated from Shuize County, which is a good start for the next operation.

zizi——

Wang Tao fired a heat beam to kill all the zombies that were still chasing the convoy, and then flew to the command vehicle. He looked at Bai Hao and said:
"The zombies chasing us have been dealt with. Now it's up to you guys!"

"I'll get us all there safely!"

Bai Hao nodded seriously, and then began to assign tasks to everyone.

There are basically no zombies on the highway, so it is a relatively safe place. However, the highway may not be smooth, especially at some intersections, there will be many abandoned vehicles, and there must be zombies in them. In addition, there may be zombies moving from other places to the highway... So we still can't relax completely now, someone has to keep an eye on the situation on the road at all times.

"Oh, right..." At this time, Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something, and said seriously, "Although there are few zombies in the suburbs, there may be some other mutant beasts. You should pay more attention. If you find any problems, be sure to notify me immediately!"

"understand!"

They all knew that the Snow Tread on Wang Tao's shoulder was a first-level mutant beast with great strength, so they also took this matter very seriously.

buzz-

At this time, the helicopter team returned.

They had led away many zombies in Shuize County before, and only came to join after they were sure that the main force had left safely. At present, there were relatively few zombies that could attack from a distance, so airplanes were relatively safe. So Bai Hao sent them to explore the way again, and if they found anything, they could report it directly to Wang Tao, and they all obeyed Wang Tao's orders unconditionally.

With the helicopter team clearing the way, Wang Tao felt a lot more relaxed, as he didn't have to fly around for the time being. So he took out a map and studied it carefully.

This time I go to the Zijing base, I should be able to meet many acquaintances. Not only Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng who have been staying in Zijing City, but also Xu Xiaojun and Yang Changhong who I met on the way.

Of course, this "encounter halfway" refers to the previous life. It's still early in this life, and they are probably hiding at home and dare not go out. So Wang Tao wants to take this opportunity to bring them here.

They had discussed the situation with Wang Tao in their previous life. Wang Tao knew roughly where they were now. They could just go find them in a couple of days.

Soon, Wang Tao circled two locations on the map, namely Xu Xiaojun's home and Yang Changhong's company. These two places were on the way to the Bauhinia Base, just in time for the trip.

"Wang Tao, this is..."

Ding Yuqin, who was standing next to him, became curious when she saw the place Wang Tao circled on the map.

"I have friends here. When the motorcade passes by, I will pick them up."

Wang Tao briefly explained.

Hearing this, Ding Yuqin subconsciously thought of Han Rui. Wang Tao had said the same thing at the beginning, saying he was going to find a friend, but ended up bringing back a woman...

However, Ding Yuqin was very tactful and did not ask any more questions. She just quietly communicated with Li Qiuyu and the two made a bet. Ding Yuqin thought that Wang Tao's friend was most likely a beautiful woman because Wang Tao liked this kind of woman. Li Qiuyu said that it should be a male friend...

Several people were in the same car. Although their conversation was small, Wang Tao could not be concealed from it. This made Wang Tao speechless. He was obviously a gentleman, how could he be slandered like this!
Shaking his head, Wang Tao continued to find the Bauhinia base on the map and marked the locations of Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng...

……

In the blink of an eye, the sun had set.

The convoy stopped at a service area on the highway.

The wilderness in the apocalypse is too dangerous. For safety reasons, it is better not to rush. Just have a good rest at night and walk during the day. It won't take too long.

This service area was rather deserted, with few cars parked and only a few ordinary zombies. This was obviously a very good place to rest. However, the army still checked it meticulously to ensure that there would be no hidden dangers.

It's no wonder that they found something during their carpet search, so they called Wang Tao over immediately.

"Mr. Wang, this is it!"

Behind the service area is an unknown hill, and the service area is at the foot of the hill. When the army was investigating, they found a very hidden cave on the hill not far from the service area. It cannot be seen from the service area, and can only be seen by taking a detour.

The soldiers felt a creepy aura at the entrance of the cave. They did not dare to be careless and quickly reported it to Wang Tao, Bai Hao and others.

Looking at the cave entrance in front of him, Wang Tao sniffed his nose and then looked at the snow on his shoulders.

"The smell of mutant beasts?"

"Meow~"

Taxue was a little bit angry, and it told Wang Tao that there was a second-level mutant beast inside!

It is still only at level one, and has basically no chance of winning against this level two mutant beast, so it is a little nervous.

After Wang Tao got Taxue's confirmation, he stroked Taxue and told it not to panic, then said to the others:

"There should be a second-level mutant beast inside. I'll go in and take a look. You just stand guard at the door."

"Yes!"

The army has strong execution capabilities and will not question Wang Tao's orders. They will do whatever they are told to do.

Jiang Shixue didn't have such strong execution ability. She looked at Wang Tao eagerly, wanting to follow Wang Tao in. Apart from Taxue, she had never seen any other mutant beasts.

However, one question from Wang Tao made her wilted.

"Can you see at night?"

"cannot……"

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Jiang Shixue pursed her lips.

"Then stay outside."

Wang Tao smiled and rubbed Jiang Shixue's hair, then walked in with Taxue.

As soon as he entered the cave, the breath of the mutant beast became stronger, just like a navigation, guiding Wang Tao in the direction.

His [Super Senses] talent increases his various sensory abilities, including the sense of smell. His sense of smell is now sharper than that of a dog, so a smell that seems very light to others is very strong to Wang Tao.

"What is this? It smells so strong..."

Wang Tao frowned and followed the smell inside.

The dark cave was as bright as day to Wang Tao, so he could clearly see some dead bones under his feet, some of which were from animals and some from humans. They looked very fresh, so they must have been left there recently.

"Meow~"

Taxue said that the monster was deep in the cave and it could sense it vaguely.

Wang Tao touched its fur, comforted it, and continued walking inside.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from inside the cave, as if something was constantly scratching on the wall, which made people feel upset.

Taxue's hair stood on end and his big eyes stared at the cave.

Wang Tao showed a look of sudden realization.

"It turned out to be a centipede - no, it seems to be a mutated millipede?"

Wang Tao could clearly see that at the corner of the cave, a monster with legs all over its body appeared. Its legs were densely packed, and it felt like there were more legs than a centipede, very much like a millipede. However, its body was much larger than a millipede, as thick as a large water tank. And it also had a mouthpart that split into several petals, which looked very creepy. However, Wang Tao had seen too many hideous and terrifying things, and this mutant millipede was nothing compared to Wang Tao.

[Health Volume: 100000/100000]

[Blue amount: 10000/10000]

[Level: Level 2 Lord]

[Superpowers: Iron Skin, Self-Healing, Great Strength, Bleeding Virus]

As for its attributes, it is obviously very strong. Like the previous gorilla zombie, it is considered to be at the peak of the second level.

But at its peak it was only level two, which was not a problem at all for Wang Tao who was at level three.

But before attacking, Wang Tao habitually probed with his mental power to see if he could communicate with it. If he could communicate with it like Taxue and use it for his own benefit, then Wang Tao would not mind its ugliness.

But unfortunately, the mutant millipede did not respond at all, not at all.

"It seems like a brainless thing..."

Wang Tao shook his head, and then two scorching rays shot out directly.

A moment later, there was a loud bang, and the mutant millipede's health bar was emptied and it fell to the ground. Several crystal cores and a ball of trophy light exploded.

Taxue skillfully collected the crystal core, while Wang Tao took a look at the trophy light ball.

In addition to four identical crystal cores and equipment, there was one thing that was somewhat beyond Wang Tao's expectations.

[Obtain: Second-order crystal core, copper skin and iron bones*1]

【…】

[Obtain: Level 1 Evolution Potion*]

[Obtain: Thousand Foot Sword*999]

Wang Tao had never killed a mutant beast in his life, this was the first time. Unexpectedly, the things that the mutant beast exploded were different from those that the zombies exploded.

[Level 50 Evolution Potion: After consuming Level 20 mutant beasts, there is a % chance of advancing to Level , and a % chance of comprehending a superpower]

"Evolution potion..."

Wang Tao had obtained the [Purification Potion] before. It is only one word different from the [Evolution Potion], but the effects are completely different.

This [Evolution Potion] is specifically for mutant beasts. It has a 50% chance of allowing mutant beasts to advance, and a 1/5 chance of allowing mutant beasts to comprehend a superpower.

Seeing this effect, Wang Tao could only say that it was very powerful. It would be great if humans could also use it, then a lot of crystal cores could be saved.

However, considering that mutant beasts cannot fuse crystal cores, they cannot upgrade their crystal cores, so they can only use other methods. So using potions to improve it is reasonable...

"Meow~"

Taxue, who was sitting on Wang Tao's shoulder, stared at the potion in Wang Tao's hand with some curiosity. Although he couldn't tell what it was, he felt vaguely that this thing seemed to be good for him?
"This is good stuff, specially made for mutant beasts like you to eat."

Wang Tao opened the lid, and a pungent smell entered his nostrils, but Taxue meowed in enjoyment after smelling it. Wang Tao poured all the medicine directly into Taxue's mouth. There was not much medicine, just a few drops.

After Taxue finished eating, he suddenly threw himself into Wang Tao's arms.

"Meow~"

It said that as long as it had a good sleep, it would be able to be promoted to the second level when it woke up.

"Huh? A 50% probability is enough? Not bad!"

Wang Tao was very surprised. He didn't expect his luck to be so good, with a 50% chance of success in one go.

Holding Taxue, Wang Tao looked at the equipment that the mutant millipede exploded. It was the first time Wang Tao saw 999 weapons exploded at once.

He thought he had seen it wrong... He was not wrong, it was 999 scimitars. However, the attributes of this equipment were quite ordinary.

【Thousand Foot Sword】

【Level 2 (Excellent)】

[Durability +200, Attack Power +20]

In addition to 200 durability and 20 attack power, the Qianzu Sword has no other effects. Compared with Wang Tao's previous equipment, it is indeed not as good.

However, considering that there are as many as 999 of them, Wang Tao didn't ask for too much.

This equipment is a bit similar to the standard equipment in the previous life, both of which are large in number and have average properties. The only difference is that for standard equipment, you first need to learn the blueprints and then use the materials to make them in batches. But now, the equipment is given to him directly, eliminating the production process...

Wang Tao cannot use this equipment, but Bai Hao, Wei Zhenguo and others should like it.

"how's it going?"

When people outside saw Wang Tao carrying Taxue out, they thought Taxue was injured and became a little worried.

"The second-level mutant beast inside has been killed by me. Taxue is fine, but he is about to be promoted to the second level."

Wang Tao briefly explained.

"So that's it..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated Wang Tao.
Wang Tao searched the mountain briefly and returned only after he was sure there were no more mutant beasts. He also gave most of the Thousand-legged Swords to Wei Zhenguo, Bai Hao and others.

Wei Zhenguo and his companions tested it briefly and were immediately overjoyed. Because what was a relatively ordinary attribute for Wang Tao was a magical weapon for them.

Wang Tao returned to his car, and three hours later, Taxue woke up.

Judging from its appearance, there seems to be no change, but its properties have been greatly improved compared to before.

What surprised Wang Tao was that Taxue not only advanced to the second level, but also gained an additional supernatural power: [Bronze Skin and Iron Bones].

[Health Volume: 30000/30000]

[Blue amount: 20000/20000]

[Level: Level 2 Lord]

[Impurities in the body: 5%]

[Superpowers: Black Mist of the Mind, Copper Skin and Iron Bones]

"Hmm? The 'Advance to Level 2' and 'Understand Superpowers' of the Evolution Potion can actually exist at the same time?"

"Meow~"

Taxue jumped onto Wang Tao's shoulder and rubbed Wang Tao's face with his little head.

"Look back and pay more attention to whether there are mutant beasts on the road..."

Wang Tao touched his chin and muttered to himself.

……

Nothing happened that night and the convoy spent the night safely.

The next morning, after daybreak, the convoy continued on its journey. According to the plan, they had to reach the Bauhinia Base within five to seven days, the shorter the better, so they had to hurry.

Wang Tao looked at the circle drawn on the map.

"Let's pick up Xiaojun and Changhong today. There shouldn't be any problem..." (End of this chapter)
