Chapter 296 Blocking the Road

Hearing the voice from the loudspeaker, Wang Tao suddenly woke up.

When he walked out of the door, Ding Yuqin and He Jijun also came to the hall. They were also resting just now, and they were all awakened by the sound of trumpets.

"what happened?"

?Wang Tao looked out the window. From this position, he could only see the scenery on both sides, not the front.

There is a control room in this carriage with monitoring equipment so you can see the situation around the train. But without the permission of Duan Xuchang and others, Wang Tao would naturally not be able to break in.

“The road ahead is blocked, and the clearance train cannot move forward for the time being. We have sent people down to clean it up.”

At this time, Duan Xuchang came over with a display screen.

The screen displayed a surveillance screen in front of the train. It could be clearly seen that in front was the entrance to a small train station. A large number of buildings had collapsed and the ruins had fallen on the railway tracks, completely blocking the road.

??Although they were traveling on an obstacle-clearing train, there was naturally no way to clear this obstacle. And I don’t know if the railway inside is damaged...

"Do you need help?"

?Wang Tao asked.

“No need for now. If anything happens, I will inform you.”

? Duan Xuchang shook his head, but he didn’t say anything.

"OK."

?Wang Tao nodded.

?Duan Xuchang continued his work. Before leaving, he opened the command room so that Wang Tao and his party could go in and watch the surveillance.

There were more equipment on the wreckage train than Wang Tao had imagined. He even saw equipment like bulldozers and excavators clearing away the ruins in front of them bit by bit.

Although the speed is not very fast, it is obviously very effective. It should take some time to clean it up... No wonder it is called a wrecker train!

It is now around four o''clock in the afternoon, it is still raining heavily outside, and the sky is a little gloomy.

The train attracted some zombies, but this train station was relatively remote and there were not many zombies. They were all kept out by soldiers.

??The weapons used by these soldiers now are not the firearms used in the previous rescue of the Redbud base, but a combination of silencers and subsonic projectiles.

?Subsonic bullets travel slower than the speed of sound in the air, and combined with a silencer, the sound of this weapon is very small. Don''t worry about attracting zombies from other places.

?Of course, the price of a smaller sound is less power. Not so good when facing a large number of zombies. It''s no problem now.

?Wang Tao checked all the surveillance cameras and made sure there were no problems before he felt relieved for the time being.

?But Wang Tao couldn''t sleep anymore, and everyone else was in the same situation as him, so they chatted and had something to eat in the hall.

?Wang Tao took out some equipment by the way to see if they wanted it.

??Everyone is no longer surprised that Wang Tao comes up with some novel things from time to time.

The first is the giant heavy armor suit, which Wang Tao himself cannot use. After all, he usually wears the Night Demon suit when fighting, and wears the Dark Iron Heavy Armor suit when encountering special situations.

?This giant set is neither too high nor too low for Wang Tao, mainly because the full defense attribute cannot be triggered...

??But after asking around, no one was very interested in this giant heavy armor suit.

Including Xu Xiaojun, the largest among them.

"I am not fast to begin with. If I am slowed down again, it will seriously affect my fighting rhythm..."

Xu Xiaojun scratched his head and said.

The 20% slowdown on the giant heavy armor suit not only reduces the attack speed, but also reduces the movement speed.

?? Xu Xiaojun’s attack speed is slower, which is okay, but if his movement speed is reduced, he may not be able to keep up with the team. After all, he is not good at speed.

?Of course, the giant heavy armor suit can be embedded with crystal cores. If it can be embedded with a powerful ability, it doesn''t matter if it is slowed down.

But except for Wang Tao, everyone else is a third-level superpower. Even if they have superpowers, they can''t use them.

"Fine."

?Wang Tao shrugged and took back the giant heavy armor suit.

In fact, he also thought of a use for the giant heavy armor suit, which is to use it after he becomes violent. At that time, with his five-meter-tall body, he should be able to exert some of the strength of the giant''s heavy armor suit.

But there is also a small problem, that is, if Wang Tao triggers the violent state, it will be a very dangerous time. At that time, there will be no time for him to slowly change his clothes... If he can get something similar to the Night Demon Ring, let him It would be nice to be able to change clothes instantly...

??The two pieces of equipment, Corrosive Armor and Corrosive Spear, were also taken out by Wang Tao. However, as Wang Tao expected, as soon as everyone heard that this equipment would hurt themselves when wearing and using it, they immediately rejected it.

After all, they haven''t awakened yet, so if they use this equipment and lose blood, they can''t use the poison gas attribute, so it''s a big loss...

?Then Wang Tao took out the flame gauze.

When this piece of equipment was taken out, everyone exclaimed.

After all, this was the first time they had seen this situation where flames seemed to be flowing on the clothes.

Especially the women, their eyes were shining.

"Which of you wants this flame gauze?"

?Wang Tao asked with a smile.

?The girls looked at me and I looked at you. They all wanted it, but they were too embarrassed to speak, so they had to recommend each other, and then they all looked at Wang Tao with some resentment.

“It’s all this playboy’s fault! It’s made people very embarrassed, okay…”

??If it weren''t for the wrong timing, the girls would have wanted to beat up Wang Tao. They felt that Wang Tao wanted to watch them fight for it on purpose!

?Wang Tao certainly didn''t mean it, and he doesn''t have such bad taste. The main reason is that he has difficulty choosing and just wants to be lazy.

"Well, let''s draw lots. Whoever draws the one will get it."

?Wang Tao made a few simple signs.

?Except for Jiang Shixue and Nie Siyan, all the other girls have made it.

Jiang Shixue said before that she didn''t need it, and Nie Siyan said that she was Wang Tao''s subordinate at best, so she couldn''t compare with Ding Yuqin and the others.

“Ah? I, do I have a share too…”

Li Qiuyu looked at the note handed to her, and she spoke with some embarrassment.

She and Wang Tao actually had nothing to do with each other, but in this situation, everyone already assumed that she was Wang Tao''s person, and she couldn''t explain it clearly.

“Smoke it.”

?Wang Tao didn’t explain much.

"oh…"

?Li Qiuyu lowered his head and took a small note.

After a while.

Lan Yulian exclaimed.

“Huh? It’s me!”

"congratulations!"

The other women all expressed their gratitude with envy.

Not only because this piece of equipment looks good, but more importantly, it was given by Wang Tao after all.

“Thank you for your support!”

?Lan Yulian didn''t stop being polite. After all, this was what she had agreed to before. Any more politeness would be too fake, and she really liked it.

Lan Yulian is not too tall, only over 1.6 meters tall. After wearing this flame gauze, the whole person seemed to be enveloped in flames.

"nice!"

He Jijun next to him smiled and said, even he thought this equipment was very beautiful.

?Wang Tao nodded secretly.

This set of equipment is actually quite suitable for Lan Yulian to wear, not because of the appearance, but because Lan Yulian is a nanny, not someone who rushes to the front. This set of clothes has lower defense than other level four equipment. But it had little effect on her. Moreover, this piece of equipment is very conspicuous, allowing people to see his location at a glance, and making it easier for the injured to come to him for treatment.

As for this awakening attribute, Lan Yulian cannot use it for the time being, but after she awakens, the ability to slowly restore blood volume can also help her. After all, as long as the wet nurse doesn''t die, she can save more people.

Lan Yulian walked around in the flame gauze, then came to Wang Tao, hugged Wang Tao with a little red face, and soon let go.

"Thanks!"

?Wang Tao smiled and then took out the flame bracelet.

“Wow!” 　　　Everyone exclaimed when they saw this equipment. No way, this special effect of flowing flames is so beautiful.

“This bracelet adds fire damage when attacking, but I don’t know the specific effect of this fire damage yet. I will test it later and see who can wear it properly.”

??If this flame bracelet greatly improves Wang Tao, then he will wear it himself. If there is no effect or the improvement is very small, give it to other suitable people.

The eyes of the women all shone, but they still sincerely hoped that this would improve Wang Tao even more.

?Wang Tao took out another brown leather jacket.

“This is a boar leather jacket…”

【Wild boar leather jacket】

【Level 4 (Excellence)】

【Durability +70, Defense +70, Mental Defense +30, Weakness to Fire, Weakness to Electricity】

??This is the blueprint that came out after killing the wild boar monster that could only create illusions. Along with it is the wild boar tusk sword that Wang Tao has been using now.

?The long knife is very useful, but the wild boar leather jacket has its own weak points for electricity and fire, which is disgusting.

When he was dealing with the zombie tide before, Wang Tao set fire everywhere. It was obvious that this equipment could not be worn. So Wang Tao didn''t take it out.

But after all, it is a fourth-level equipment, with 70 points of defense added and 30 points of mental defense. These two attributes are still very good.

?Wang Tao briefly introduced this piece of equipment and asked if anyone liked it.

As a result, everyone shook their heads.

The weak point attribute of electricity is not bad, after all, under normal circumstances, they will not be electrocuted. But his weak point, fire, is not appropriate, because Wang Tao''s strongest state is to set fire to a prairie fire everywhere. If you wear this equipment, you won''t be able to cooperate with Wang Tao.

"Okay. Then let''s see if this leather armor can be traded with other people."

?Wang Tao didn’t force himself.

?In fact, everyone is equipped with equipment. They are all equipped with iron tree-style armor, bone-style hand crossbows and bone-cutting hand axes made by Wang Tao as standard. But after all, it is third-level standard equipment, and its attributes are lower than ordinary equipment...

?Then Wang Tao took out various medicines and other things and distributed them to everyone.

After a big battle, Wang Tao got a lot of things that he couldn''t use all of himself, just so he could improve everyone''s strength. After all, we haven''t reached the Changhe base city yet. The more we improve our strength, the more we will be guaranteed.

Finally, Wang Tao took out four entity awakening keys.

“This is the physical version of the Awakening Key…”

?Wang Tao gave a brief introduction, and everyone''s breathing became short after hearing it. Even He Jijun showed some interest.

After all, there is a chance of awakening!

"The probability of awakening for the first time is 50%. Theoretically, these four awakening keys should be able to become two awakened ones. But after all, you need to sleep for 24 hours to awaken. We are not out of danger yet, so it is not appropriate to awaken at this time. . And most of you are short of the conditions to upgrade your abilities to the fourth level... I will upgrade you to the crystal core when you get to Changhe Base."

Wang Tao still has to think carefully about which four people will be awakened. Anyway, those with high combat effectiveness will definitely be awakened first.

?The number of fourth-level promotion crystal cores in Wang Tao''s hand is not large, only 9 in total. It is impossible to upgrade everyone''s abilities to fourth level. So I won’t give it to them for the time being. After selecting the candidates for awakening, I will give the crystal core to those who need it.

?Wang Tao is talking about this now to let them know everything about it first. After all, we are all on the same team, and we need to let them know some of Wang Tao''s trump cards.

"good!"

Everyone nodded expectantly.

…

??The clearing work outside continued from afternoon to night.

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that there are basically no problems with these railway tracks. After the cleaning is completed, you can go directly from here without making a special detour.

Trains are different from cars in that they have to travel on rails. In such a remote place, you have to take a long detour. This road is the one they took when they came, so they are relatively familiar with it. Other roads have unknown risks. It is better to go back the same way.

But the bad news is that we can’t finish the cleaning today, so we have to work overtime at night and try to finish it tomorrow.

?According to the plan, we could reach Changhe Base in one day. But the road is blocked, at least half a day will be wasted, and we will have to spend the night here.

? ? Once the speed of the wrecker train increases, it can be directly smashed into pieces when it encounters zombies and the like. As long as you don''t encounter powerful zombies or encounter traffic jams like today, you can completely ignore many zombies. And if you really encounter powerful zombies, the zombies may not be able to catch up.

??But if the train stops here and loses its mobility, it may be more dangerous... You have to be more alert at night.

It just so happened that Wang Tao and his team had slept all morning. They didn’t have a good rest, but at least they felt a lot more energetic and could work on duty in the evening.

? Duan Xuchang did not refuse this. It is always good to have more people and more eyes.

hum~

The door of carriage No. 2 opened. Wang Tao, holding an umbrella, walked out with Jiang Shixue and Ling Ling.

? ?Two people and one dog have the ability to see at night, so they are naturally at home in this environment at night.

The zombies around the train have been killed. Due to the remote location, no zombies have come yet, so it is still relatively quiet outside, with only the sound of machines clearing obstacles.

?Wang Tao wanted to find a few zombies to test the ability of the flame bracelet.

But these soldiers worked too carefully during the day. He turned around and didn''t see a single living zombie.

There was no other way, Wang Tao had no choice but to stay away from the team a little. The radio on his body has been connected to Duan Xuchang''s team. If something happens, there is no need to worry about missing the news.

"Finally found!"

?In a small, dilapidated village far away from the railway, Wang Tao found more than a dozen ordinary zombies, all of which were second-level zombies. They had more than 20,000 blood, which was enough for Wang Tao to test.

?Wang Tao put on the flame bracelet, strode up to a zombie, and punched it.

boom!

【-3058】

?Wang Tao didn''t dare to use any force, and the punch hit the zombie''s chest, so there was no harm.

When he punched out, there was a faint flash of fire, and then he saw a trace of burnt color appearing on the zombie''s chest. Other than that, nothing much has changed.

“Huh? It’s gone now?”

?Wang Tao frowned and kicked the zombie to the ground.

Then he took off the bracelet and punched the zombie in the same place with the same force.

boom!

?【-3029】

…”

?Wang Tao feels that his strength is controlled very accurately. This difference in damage should not be an error...

?So Wang Tao tried a few more times.

At a certain moment, the zombie''s chest was suddenly ignited. It had no blood left and was burned to death.

“I seem to understand...”

?Wang Tao tried it with other zombies, and then proved his conclusion-the fire attribute damage attached to the flame bracelet and the fire damage from Catching Fire are completely different things.

When he uses Catching Fire, in addition to improving all attributes, his body, equipment, and weapons will burn with flames, and many of his attacks will also carry fire damage! This kind of flame is visible and tangible. Not only is it high in temperature, it will continue to burn, and zombies cannot stop it.

??However, the fire attribute damage carried by the flame bracelet cannot directly burn zombies. Instead, he enhanced his attack damage and made his attack damage have the fire attribute. The fire attribute does not mean that it will burn. The burnt color on the zombies is caused by the fire attribute. But if you keep attacking with fire attributes, there is a certain probability that it will cause burning!

It’s hard to say how much this probability is. After all, probability requires a large number of samples to get a rough estimate. Anyway, the probability is not high, and it is related to the frequency of attacks. The faster the attack, the greater the probability of burning.

As for the damage increased by the fire attribute...for Wang Tao, it may be about 1%, maybe less than that.

?Then this bracelet is a bit useless to him.

?This fire damage is incomparable to the flame damage of Wang Tao''s awakening.

?Of course, this does not mean that this flame bracelet is garbage. After all, even if the damage is increased by 1%, it is still real damage.

??And the damage after the fire attribute triggers burning is still good. This is also no ordinary flame. The blood of zombies and the rain from the sky cannot be extinguished for a while.

But this burning ability is of little use to Wang Tao, because Wang Tao just learned the fireball ability...

“Ho ho…”

??The last few zombies in the village ran towards Wang Tao.

?Wang Tao is holding an umbrella in his left hand, with the palm of his right hand facing up, and a palm-sized flame emerges in the palm of his hand.

When the flames became the size of a basketball, Wang Tao stretched out his hand, and the fireball immediately flew out and hit one of the zombies directly.

Boom—

?The fireball exploded, and blazing flames instantly enveloped everything around it.

After a while, the health bars of all zombies were cleared. But at the same time, half the village was set on fire...
