Chapter 668: Chapter 273: Enhancing Strength_3
Ding Yuqin and the others had never seen this kind of mechanical arm before, and they were all amazed, with Wei Zhenguo’s eyes shining especially bright. If Xiang Hongbin had such equipment, wouldn’t he be able to regain some combat strength?
Xiang Hongbin gently touched these mechanical arms with his intact hand, his lips quivering slightly.
“Besides us, there are other survivors out there struggling to live. Among them are researchers, scientists and the like, and they made these things. If you could get a set of similar gear, you might be able to recover a lot of fighting power. Do you still think, do you want to go for Level 3 Ascension?”
Xiang Hongbin said through gritted teeth.
He had been in despair before, but now he saw hope again.
Wang Tao immediately laughed.
“I’m not giving you this mechanical arm; after all, it’s actually controlled by hand, which isn’t convenient for you. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely get you the right equipment! Moreover, our base has a military 3D printer, so we can try and see if we can print a prosthetic limb for you to use as a transition first.”
Xiang Hongbin’s eyes reddened slightly.
“I’ve said it before, we’re all our own people!”
Wang Tao patted his shoulder, and then walked over to Li Qiuyu, knocking on her head directly.
“As for you… no more nonsense, if I tell you to use it, just use it.”
Li Qiuyu felt a strong sense of unfair treatment. But she dared not defy Wang Tao, and could only humbly acknowledge.
Ding Yuqin and Han Rui found this somewhat amusing on the side; they knew Wang Tao’s personality. He was always generous with his own people; if he didn’t have it, that was one thing, but if he did, he was never stingy. Even if you didn’t want it, you’d have to take it. After all, this was the end of the world, and there wasn’t time for affectations.
After some time, everyone except for Xiang Hongbin and Li Qiuyu had reached the pinnacle of Level Two.
“I feel like I can ascend to Level 3 now…”
“Me too, ready to level up any time!”
Everyone was somewhat excited.
Honestly, if it hadn’t been for this zombie tide, they had been planning to hunt down Level 3 Elite Zombies, pooling the team’s resources to push Wei Zhenguo up to become a Level 3 ability user. As for the others, they hadn’t even considered levelling up to Level 3 for themselves!
Unexpectedly, after meeting Wang Tao, within less than a day, they were now ready for Level 3 Ascension!
“Since everyone’s ready for ascension, let’s start tonight, the process needs 24 hours. By this time tomorrow, you’ll all be Level 3 ability users.”
Several people nodded.
Wang Tao then looked at Xiang Hongbin and Li Qiuyu.
“As for you two… your strength is lacking a bit; you need to kill zombies to ascend. Conveniently, the airplane today attracted many zombies, all outside the base. I’ll take you out now to kill zombies and boost your strength first.”
Xiang Hongbin nodded. Now that he had hope, his fighting spirit was strong.
Li Qiuyu was a bit scared, but she knew Wang Tao would protect her.
Wang Tao took Xiang Hongbin and Li Qiuyu out, with Jiang Shixue accompanying them.
Jiang Shixue would lure the zombies, Wang Tao would beat them half to death, and then let Li Qiuyu and Xiang Hongbin finish them off.
There were quite a few Level 3 Elite Zombies here, which meant over-level kills for the two of them, and their HP quickly reached 29999.
“Alright, let’s go back.”
“Tsk tsk, to be able to fight zombies with you is just incredible luck! We owe you more and more, it’s impossible to repay you in the future!”
Xiang Hongbin remarked with some emotion.
Before, it had been difficult for them to kill a Level 3 Elite Zombie. He never thought that it would be so easy to blow the heads off Level 3 Elite Zombies with his own hands!
“Haha! Just improve your strength and kill more zombies as repayment to me, because I hate zombies.”
Wang Tao laughed heartily.
On the side, Li Qiuyu was whispering to Jiang Shixue:
“Little Xue, you’re so strong!”
“Mr. Wang Tao is the strong one, I’m just average.”
Jiang Shixue replied without hesitation.
Watching Jiang Shixue’s expression, Li Qiuyu couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened between Jiang Shixue and Wang Tao…
If there really was something, then it would be awkward! Although nothing had happened between her and Wang Tao, given the current situation, it wouldn’t be surprising if something did happen…
No way, she had to dig for more information tonight!
Li Qiuyu thought with some anxiety.
He Jijun suddenly brought some good news.
A military base had a damaged underground cable line not too far from the base. After he repaired it, he actually got in touch with someone!
Wang Tao came over curiously.
Amidst a crackling sound, there indeed came a voice from the other end.
“Crackle… Mr. Wang Tao, can you receive my message… crackle…”
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised; he did not recognize the voice from the speaker, but he could guess that it must be someone from Lan Yulan’s side.
After all, he only knew so many people; Ding Yuqin and the others had already been taken in, leaving only Lan Yulan and her group.
“Ah! It got through, it got through!”
The other side sounded surprised, and then quickly added:
“Please wait a moment, Mr. Wang, we’re from Zijin Base, and I’ll have our leader talk to you!”
Shortly after, Lan Yulan’s voice came through.
“Wang Tao, is that you?”
“Finally got in touch! There were indeed some lines left underneath this base, but most of them were damaged. I had people only fix one, but I didn’t expect to actually make contact!”
Lan Yulan sounded pleasantly surprised.
“How’s the situation on your side?”
“No major problems for now, but there are a lot more zombies around the base, the zombie tide is getting bigger…”
Wang Tao thought for a moment and said:
“I’ll come over in a couple of days, stay safe and keep in touch.”
After talking with Lan Yulan for a while, Wang Tao ended the call.
He looked at his attribute panel, the countdown for the Little Fire Integration was about to end.
Tonight, he could try Awakening!
