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

Due to the appearance of the flying zombie beast, the entire convoy became extremely alert.

Although they encountered many zombies on the road, Ding Yuqin and other second-level superpowers took action many times, but until nightfall, they did not encounter any flying zombie beasts. This made everyone feel relieved.

"Although our convoy is eye-catching, it is still far inferior to those millions of zombies. Even if there are flying zombie beasts, they will probably be attracted by the zombies... But we can't take it lightly. We must pay more attention before arriving at the military base!"

Bai Hao gave instructions to the others, then he looked at Wang Tao.

"I'm sorry to bother you tonight..."

The team rested at night and needed some people to be on duty. Since he was not sure if there were other flying zombie beasts nearby, Wang Tao decided to be on duty tonight. He had night vision and could fly, so if he really encountered a flying zombie beast, he could deal with it.

"You all go and rest."

Wang Tao smiled and waved his hand.

After nightfall, Wang Tao did not stay in the camp all the time, but flew around the camp several times. Zombies are more active at night and less common during the day. For example, the probability of a level 3 zombie appearing at night may be higher.

Wang Tao is still short of some third-level crystal cores, and he is wondering if he can get them together as soon as possible so that he can be promoted to the fourth level.

However, it may be because the location they are in is too remote and it is very quiet at night. Not to mention the third-level zombies, there are not even the more common first- and second-level zombies.

"Forget it if there is none..."

As dawn was about to break, Wang Tao shook his head and prepared to go back.

But suddenly, he paused and subconsciously looked into the distance.

"The breath of a third-level lord... but it's not a zombie... it's a mutant beast!"

"Meow~"

Taxue on his shoulder was also staring at that direction intently.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Wang Tao immediately flew over on the snow, and after a moment, he landed in a dense forest.

Although the forest was dense, Wang Tao could see at a glance a huge mutant wild boar covered with long black hair.

When Wang Tao discovered it, it also saw Wang Tao, and its little eyes were full of violence.

[100000/100000]

[Level 3: Lord]

[Superpowers: Iron Skin, Strong Power, Self-Healing, Charge]

"It's a mutant wild boar. It's not smaller than Lightning from the previous life. It would be great if I could take it as a mount..."

When Wang Tao saw the mutant wild boar, his first thought was not to kill it, but to take it as a mount. After all, mutant beasts have a certain level of intelligence, and Wang Tao can communicate with them using his mental power. As long as he can talk, there is a possibility of taming it.

In particular, this mutant wild boar is very large and strong, and has the ability [Charge], making it very suitable as a mount.

But just as Wang Tao was about to land and communicate with it, a humming sound suddenly sounded, and a group of smaller mutant wild boars emerged from the bushes. These mutants were still chewing something in their mouths, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be human arms and thighs!
“…Forget it, just kill him.”

Wang Tao immediately lost the opportunity to communicate. Although he wanted to subdue the mutant beast for his own use, he would forget about it if it had eaten humans. It was not because Wang Tao had a mental obsession with cleanliness, but because if there was a first time, there would be a second time. The mutant beast that had eaten humans would most likely eat again in the future. A similar thing happened in the previous life. So letting this mutant beast stay in the human camp was a time bomb.

zizi——

Wang Tao's eyes glowed red, and two rays of heat energy directly hit the third-level wild boar lord, and the battle began immediately.

Although there were many mutant wild boars and they were strong, they were no match for Wang Tao. It didn't take long for all the mutant wild boars to be slaughtered.

Wang Tao asked Taxue to collect the spoils, while he pushed aside the grass and revealed a cave that could accommodate several people. There was a very unpleasant smell inside. When he went in, he saw a pile of dead bones, only a small part of which were from other animals, and most of them were human bones.

"These wild boars have eaten at least dozens or even hundreds of people. Their deaths are not unjust."

Wang Tao sighed, and after making sure that no fish had escaped, he left the cave.

"Meow~"

At this time, Taxue held the spoils in its mouth and handed them to Wang Tao. It seemed very excited, with its tail raised high.

"Could it be..." Wang Tao took a look at the spoils and found a bottle of evolution potion in it, a third-level one. "Sure enough!"

Wang Tao grinned immediately. Taxue's emotions have always been very stable. The only thing that could make it so excited and happy was probably the evolution potion.

[Obtain: Third-order crystal core, great power*1]

[Obtained: Third-order crystal core...]

【…】

[Obtain: Level 1 Evolution Potion*]

[Obtain: Fanged Scimitar*2]

The last time I killed that Level 2 mutant beast, a bottle of Level 2 crystal core potion exploded, which I gave to Taxue, allowing it to successfully advance to Level 2. This time, a bottle of Level 3 potion 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]

The function of the evolution potion is similar to that of the second level. There is a certain probability that the mutant beast will be promoted to the third level and there is also a probability that it will comprehend a superpower.

There is nothing to say, this bottle of potion naturally belongs to Taxue.

"Eat."

Wang Tao handed the potion to Taxue, then took a look at the equipment dropped by the mutant wild boar.

【Tusk Scimitar】

[Level 3 (Excellent)]

[Durability +300, Attack Power +40, Attack Speed ​​+20%, there is a certain chance of bleeding when causing damage]

These two scimitars not only add 40 points of attack, but also increase the attack speed by 20%, and there is a certain probability of making the target bleed, which is considered to be very good equipment.

However, Wang Tao has no use for it. He usually doesn't need weapons. When he needs weapons, he uses the second-level Fury Hammer. Although that hammer reduces the attack speed a little, it can gain the [Fury] effect when killing, which is very suitable for people like Wang Tao who will rush directly into the center of the zombie group at any time.

"Meow~"

Just as Wang Tao was putting away his spoils, Taxue suddenly crawled into Wang Tao's arms and closed his eyes.

"Ah? Success again?"

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Taxue was about to evolve again!

Although the probability of 50% is not low, Taxue succeeded twice in a row, and the first time he even gained an extra superpower. You have to know that the probability is only 20%... This makes Taxue's luck seem incredible.

Now Taxue has obviously been promoted to the third level, but I don’t know if she has obtained another superpower. If she can obtain another superpower, it will be even better. Of course, even if she doesn’t obtain a superpower, it is also very good to be promoted to the third level, and Taxue still makes a lot of money.

"It's too easy for mutant beasts to evolve..."

Humans need to collect a lot of crystal cores to evolve, but mutant beasts only need to eat a bottle of medicine. Their evolution speed is second only to zombies. This made Wang Tao sigh.

He searched the surroundings to see if there were any other mutant beasts. But he didn't see any mutant beasts. Instead, he saw an abandoned small campsite that seemed to have been destroyed not long ago, probably a few days ago. Through the analysis of clues, it can be known that this campsite should have been destroyed by this group of mutant wild boars. The humans inside became their food.

This group of people obviously wanted to stay away from the city and away from zombies, but they didn't expect to build their camp near a group of mutant wild boars. It can only be said that they were very unlucky.

Wang Tao returned to the team.

At this time, everyone had woken up and was ready to go. Wang Tao briefly explained the matter of the mutant wild boars, and then gave everyone two hundred knives.

Everyone sighed when they heard that a small camp was breached by mutant wild boars.

In this apocalypse, we still have to stick together for warmth. As zombies and mutants become stronger and stronger, small bases have no ability to resist at all...

The convoy continued on its way.

Judging from the speed of the convoy, it would take about ten days to get from Zijing Base to Wuyang Military Base. If everything went well, it might be one or two days earlier. It was the fifth day, halfway through the time, and a little more than halfway through the distance.

Apart from the flying zombie beast that scared everyone yesterday, everything else was fine and no major troubles were encountered.

However, everyone did not relax their vigilance and still headed towards the Wuyang Military Base cautiously.

Wang Tao is very close to being promoted to the fourth level, he just lacks some basic crystal cores.

He originally thought that he would encounter other third-level zombies on the way. By obtaining the third-level basic crystal cores from them, he should be able to be promoted to the fourth level soon.

But I don't know if this route is too good, there are very few zombies on the road, and I didn't encounter any third-level zombies. Although this is good news for the team, it is not so good for Wang Tao personally.

In addition to the danger of flying zombie beasts, Wang Tao did not dare to leave the convoy too far away. He had no way to go to distant urban areas where there were many zombies to hunt third-level zombies. This caused Wang Tao's promotion to stagnate.

"Forget it, as long as we can reach the military base safely, it doesn't matter if I get promoted earlier or later..."

Wang Tao could only comfort himself.

In the evening, the convoy found a suitable place and set up camp.

Taxue finally woke up.

"Meow~"

It happily jumped onto Wang Tao's shoulder and rubbed its little head against Wang Tao's face, thanking Wang Tao for allowing it to evolve.

Wang Tao took a look at Taxue's attributes.

[Health Volume: 90000/90000]

[Blue amount: 50000/50000]

[Level: Level 3 Lord]

[Impurities in the body: 2%]

[Superpowers: Dark Mist of the Mind, Iron Skin and Bones, Athlete]

"Your luck is awesome!"

Not only did Taxue advance to the third level, but he also gained an additional ability, [Athlete], which gave him a 20% chance of success.

"Meow~"

Taxue felt a little proud after receiving Wang Tao's praise.

The new ability it had learned was very suitable for it, and it would be more calm and composed when picking up spoils for Wang Tao in the future.

At this time, Wei Zhenguo suddenly came over.

"Wang Tao, I feel like it's going to rain."

Wang Tao had told them before that rain in the apocalypse might not be a good thing, it might be acid rain. If it rained, it was best not to go out.

Although Wang Tao only mentioned it briefly, he still remembered it firmly. Now he felt that it might rain, so he hurried over to remind Wang Tao.

"Hmm? Raining?"

Wang Tao looked up and saw some dark clouds in the sky, but he had not noticed them before because the sun had already set.

In his previous life, he remembered clearly that the first rain after the apocalypse came exactly one month after the apocalypse. And now, it was still a few days away from a month.

If it doesn't rain in the next few days, it will be enough for them to reach Wuyang Military Base. But if it rains, it's hard to say. This is not only because of the corrosive acid rain itself, but also because these corrosive acid rains can make zombies evolve. If the zombies on the road become stronger, it will definitely greatly affect their speed.

"How long do you think it will take for it to rain?"

Wang Tao asked again, he didn't know much about this aspect.

Wei Zhenguo thought for a moment and said:
"It will probably rain tonight, or tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Tonight... No, we have to set up camp somewhere else!"

Wang Tao went to find Bai Hao immediately.

They were currently on flat ground in the suburbs. Although it was suitable for resting, there were no buildings above their heads to shelter them from the rain.

These corrosive acid rains can cause some negative conditions to people, and even lead to death. They can also corrode steel, and if they don't take protective measures, their cars may have problems... For safety reasons, it's better to move to another place.

Bai Hao trusted Wang Tao very much. After hearing that Wang Tao was a little worried about Yu, he immediately said:

"Then let's go to another place. There's a small town just ahead. Shall we go there? But then I'll have to trouble you to clean up the zombies."

"Okay, there it is."

After looking at the map, Wang Tao immediately made the decision.

So, under the puzzled gazes of many people, the convoy set off again and headed towards the small town.

Wang Tao had already flown there in advance. In addition to him, Wei Zhenguo and other second-level psychics also went there by helicopter.

If you want to clear out the zombies in the town, their special abilities will be more convenient.

Wang Tao searched around first, and after confirming that there were no third-level zombies, he led everyone to kill them indiscriminately. When the large army arrived at the town, there was no zombie left alive.

Wang Tao didn't have to worry about what happened next, as Bai Hao and others were busy.

After they hid the cars in garages and indoor parking lots, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and it became heavier and heavier, and soon it became a downpour. Most importantly, this was indeed corrosive acid rain as Wang Tao said!

Some people, unaware of the superstition, touched the acid rain and soon felt uncomfortable all over, nauseous and retching, and their fighting power was greatly reduced.

"It's a good thing I listened to you, otherwise I would be in big trouble!"

Bai Hao felt somewhat relieved.

Wang Tao looked at the heavy rain and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Although the corrosive acid rain came a little early in this life, it is not necessarily a bad thing - corrosive acid rain will cause zombies to evolve, and he is still lacking a third-level crystal core!

"After a night of baptism, there should be a lot of level 3 zombies tomorrow, right? Maybe I can be promoted to level 4 tomorrow!" (End of this chapter)
