Chapter 352 Leaving the city again

…‖

?Hearing Qu Shilin’s words, Wang Tao suddenly understood.

?No wonder the Night Demon Heart is so expensive. It turns out there is a demand, so it makes sense!

“Where is the catacomb? How can I get there? Do you know?”

?Wang Tao asked again.

"Uh... I really don''t know where the catacombs are exactly. Because it was jointly kept secret by the forces that discovered the catacombs. I only found out about it because of my special work. I thought you were also the one who discovered the catacombs. One, after all, you have been outside before... But if you haven''t discovered the cave, then if you want to go, you may not be able to go, because this is the private territory of those forces, and the reason why they want to keep it secret is that they don''t want to Let others get a piece of the pie…”

“That’s it! I really didn’t know about this, thank you!”

Wang Tao said immediately.

“Hi! We are all friends! Oh, by the way, don’t say it’s me who said it. Although I didn’t sign any confidentiality agreement, I still know about it after all. It’s a bit uncomfortable to tell it…”

?Qu Shilin said quickly again.

"Don''t worry, I will definitely not tell you. As for the Night Demon''s heart, I suggest selling it. Because the price is very high now, and the role of Night Demon Type I is limited. Even if you are doing it for research, you will wait for the price in the future. It’s not too late to study it after we get down…”

Speaking of this, Wang Tao suddenly seemed to think of something again.

“But don’t rush to sell it yet. I also have some Night Devil hearts in my hand. Let’s put them all together and see if we can sell them at a good price! I’ll go find you in the afternoon!”

Since the heart of the Night Demon is really so expensive, Wang Tao is ready to dispose of the heart in his hand. Not to mention one million or something, for him, 300,000 is not a loss, and 500,000 is a profit. That''s enough.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you!”

After hanging up the call with Qu Shilin, Wang Tao contacted Cheng Yiyi directly.

“Advisor Wang, I am Cheng Yiyi.”

?Wang Tao was a little uncomfortable hearing the address on the phone.

He paused for a moment, and then said:

“What is Commander Cheng doing now? Are you busy?”

“Don’t be busy, don’t celebrate the New Year this time, I’m going to let our legion rest, recharge, and fight again next year.”

Cheng Yiyi''s tone was relaxed. She had been busy for more than half a year from the end of the world to the present, and this was considered a holiday for herself.

“Then do you know about the catacombs?”

?Wang Tao suddenly asked.

“Cave? What catacomb?”

Cheng Yiyi was confused.

?Wang Tao suddenly understood. Cheng Yiyi really didn''t know. If she knew, she would most likely tell her.

?So, Wang Tao talked about the cave, but he said that he heard about it accidentally from the superpower market.

“What? There is such a place!”

After hearing what Wang Tao said, Cheng Yiyi sounded very surprised. Then she quickly said:

“Wait a moment, I’ll go find out what’s going on. If it’s true, our Sixth Army must participate!”

Cheng Yiyi spoke firmly.

??If she didn’t know about this kind of thing, forget it. Now that she knew it, she had to fight, even if she was shameless!

Now in this apocalyptic world, everyone is racing against time. If they don’t advance, they will retreat. If others'' strength increases and they still stand still, they will be eliminated in the future. On a larger scale, this is a matter of survival!

“Okay, I’m waiting for your good news!”

After hanging up the call, Wang Tao nodded secretly.

??The reason why he told Cheng Yiyi the news was that he wanted Cheng Yiyi to see what was going on. After all, Cheng Yiyi was from the Six Legions, so it was much more convenient than the Spark Club, which was a small family like theirs.

“Brother, do we want to change our plan?”

Jiang Shixue asked next to her.

?Wang Tao didn''t shy away from them just now. They all heard about the cave.

?Wang Tao shook his head.

"It''s hard to say, let''s take a look at the situation at Cheng Yiyi''s side first. Anyway, our time can be easily adjusted. At most, the news we bought before has expired, but the news doesn''t cost much, so it doesn''t matter."

An hour later, Cheng Yiyi called again.

"Counsellor Wang, I have inquired clearly. There is indeed a cave, and there are some good things in it, but there are also many aggressive plants and animals, which are very dangerous. This place was jointly discovered by several large forces. Among them, there is also a fourth legion. They have signed a confidentiality agreement, so they will not be announced to the public, and no other people will be allowed to participate. However, with my efforts, our sixth legion can also participate, and time is up. In ten days, I will notify you then..."

Listening to Cheng Yiyi''s excited tone, Wang Tao suddenly smiled on his face. Cheng Yiyi did not disappoint him. It is estimated that Cheng Yiyi should have paid some profits, but if there are really good things in this cave, Wang Tao will definitely not let her lose money.

"Okay! Just inform me before you leave. I have to go out recently, but it only takes a few days, so I should be able to make it in time."

“Okay! Be careful when you go out!”

After ending the call, Wang Tao said to the others:

“I will go to the institute, and then our plan remains unchanged. We will go out tomorrow and come back just in time to catch this event.”

"good!"

Everyone nodded.

?Wang Tao came to the Hope Research Institute again.

?Qu Shilin didn’t know what was going on. Her right arm was in a plaster and was suspended. Her blood volume was also residual.

"your hands…"

“Ahem, I got hurt at work, it’s okay.”

? Qu Shilin waved her other hand, seemingly embarrassed.

?Wang Tao saw that she didn''t think much, so he didn''t ask any more questions.

?Qu Shilin immediately took Wang Tao to an underground parking lot.

“Here, this is the crystal energy car!”

??It was a six-wheeled off-road pickup truck with a wasteland and sci-fi look. It was equipped with a lot of armor and cold weapons, and it looked extremely ferocious. Especially behind the car body, there were several jet nozzles that looked like aircraft engines, which made Wang Tao''s eyes brighten.

“This car is quite handsome!”

?Wang Tao praised truthfully.

“Haha, thank you for the compliment! This is a luxury car from before the apocalypse, so it should be handsome!”

Qu Shilin was very happy when her achievements were praised.

She took Wang Tao into the car and demonstrated all the functions of the car to Wang Tao.

The first and most important thing is the power system of this car. There is a crystal energy engine in the car. This engine only needs crystal cores to provide energy. In addition, it does not need any fuel tanks, water tanks, etc., so it saves space and is very quiet, just like the sound of the motor. almost. The price for doing all this is the high cost of use. After all, crystal cores are money. According to Qu Shilin, except for the gray inferior crystal core which cannot be used, this engine can be used whether it is a first-order crystal core or a fourth-order crystal core. But only one core can be used at a time.

??And the higher the level of the crystal core used, the longer it will work. The higher the quality of the crystal core used, the higher the stability of the engine and the less likely it is to have problems.

?This is a bit like the crystal energy gun. To put it simply, if you use a white crystal core, you can still run, and the distance you can even run is the same as the orange crystal core. However, the internal energy of the white crystal core is unstable and can easily damage the engine. So it''s best to use epic cores.

Since only one crystal core can be used at a time, if you want long-term and stable battery life, it is best to use the fourth-level epic crystal core.

?A level 4 epic crystal core without attributes costs 5,000 yuan. If most people have this car, they probably can’t afford it. This consumption is indeed quite large. Of course, this consumption is still incomparable with the crystal energy gun. The crystal energy gun is the real terror...

?This crystal energy engine has two modes. What Qu Shilin just mentioned is the daily mode, and there is also a violent mode.

In violent mode, this engine is equivalent to activating its full potential, and its power will be greatly increased. But similarly, the consumption is also very terrifying. The consumption at this time is the same as that of the crystal energy gun.

?However, this mode will also cause certain damage to the engine, so in order to avoid engine scrapping, the program limits the violent mode to only when using epic crystal cores. After all, epic cores are the most stable. If you use epic or below cores, coupled with violent mode, the engine may really be scrapped.

Then there are other functions of this car, such as the activation and deactivation of various cold weapons, poison gas devices in the car, radio stations, etc. Anyway, this car has quite a lot of functions.

?Finally, the interior space of this car is very large, with a total of three rows of seats, which can seat eight people and can also store a lot of items. The most important thing is that it is a pickup truck with a body in the back. You can put a lot of supplies in the front of the car, which is very suitable for survival in the apocalypse.

?Wang Tao felt that if he put this car up for sale, it would be too much to say, but he should be able to sell it for 300,000 yuan.

?Wang Tao is naturally very satisfied with this, but Cheng Yiyi is still a little dissatisfied.

“We are still short on time, otherwise we could have put two heavy machine guns, crystal energy guns or something on it, which would have made it even stronger!”

“That’s good, that’s enough for me!”

?Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Okay, as long as you like it. You drive this car first, then come back to me if you have any problems, and then just send me data regularly. You don''t need to send this data manually, as long as you are in the base, I can automatically receive it. As for the data, this is the same as your crystal energy gun...but speaking of crystal energy gun, I still have a crystal energy gun in my hand, do you want it?"

?Qu Shilin first explained, and then asked suddenly.

"want!"

?Wang Tao has already experienced the usefulness of the crystal energy gun, so of course he wouldn''t mind having another one.

“Wait a minute...”

A moment later, Qu Shilin brought out another crystal energy gun.

The crystal energy gun she gave Wang Tao before was in the shape of a pistol. Although it was larger than a pistol, it could be held with one hand.

??And the crystal energy gun she took out now is obviously in the shape of a sniper rifle, or an anti-material sniper rifle. It is very large, has a long barrel, and looks very domineering.

“This gun is something I made recently. It has a long range, great power, and high accuracy...but it has two small shortcomings...”

?Qu Shilin stretched out her index finger and thumb and made a slight gesture.

“What are the shortcomings?”

?Wang Tao feels that with the advantages mentioned above, the shortcomings can be ignored.

“Well, one is that it consumes a lot of energy. Each shot it consumes consumes one crystal core. The other is that its recoil is very strong. As for how big it is..."

?Qu Shilin pointed to her right arm that was in plaster.

“I shot him once and my arm and shoulder were all broken…”

…”

?Wang Tao was a little confused. Even though Qu Shilin''s combat power was weak, she was a third-level superpower after all, and her physical fitness was still very strong.

??As a result, she fired a shot and left herself with a loss of blood?

"Well, let''s forget about it...I''ll improve this gun..."

?Qu Shilin saw that Wang Tao was silent and thought that Wang Tao was frightened, so she immediately spoke again.

“That’s not necessary, I’ll try it later. It shouldn’t be a big problem for me.”

?Wang Tao shook his head. He is now becoming more and more interested in this crystal energy gun.

After confirming that Wang Tao was really willing to use this gun, Qu Shilin scratched his head and explained:

“Originally we were studying the crystal energy cannon, but when the energy was too large, it was difficult to control, so the progress of the crystal energy cannon was temporarily stuck. Then I suddenly had a whim and shrunk the crystal energy cannon..."

“…In other words, this is actually a cannon?”

“Ahem, a small cannon, just a small cannon...”

…”

?Wang Tao was a little dumbfounded.

“How about I take you to my house? There is a fourth-level awakened person in my house who can treat you.”

“Okay! I’ll also go and feel the power of the healing awakener!”

?Qu Shilin’s eyes lit up.

She generally doesn''t like to trouble others, but if others offer to help, there is no need for her to refuse.

"Oh, by the way, I still have some rocks that look like monster eggs at home... Forget it, next time. Next time you come back, be sure to help me take a look! And that Xiang Hongbin, next time you come over, he The treatment should have been completed. He is in the sterile room now, and it is not convenient for us to go there..."

?Qu Shilin thought of the strange things she had collected, but those things were in another house of hers, far away from here. Wang Tao was getting ready to go out, so she would talk about it next time.

“Okay. Please remind me next time and I will go there.”

After Wang Tao agreed, he drove the crystal car directly and took Qu Shilin back to his home.

Don''t mention it, this car drives very well, but unfortunately there is a speed limit in the city. He really wants to feel how violent the violent mode is.

After returning home, Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian to treat Qu Shilin.

?The effect was immediate, and Qu Shilin could put her arms down directly.

"Wow-"

? Qu Shilin looked at Lan Yulian with the same gaze as she looked at Lightning and Xiang Hongbin before.

?Wang Tao was a little speechless, and then he personally sent Qu Shilin back to the research institute, and handed over a dozen Night Demon hearts in his hand to Qu Shilin and asked her to buy them on her behalf.

?This thing is in urgent demand now, the price is very high, and there is very little circulation on the market. If they are packaged and sold together, the price will be more expensive. It just depends on whether any force can take it.

??Anyway, Wang Tao''s requirements are not high. If he can sell one for 500,000, he will make a profit. As for 1 million or something, it shouldn''t be sold at that price, otherwise the Night Demon heart in the vendor''s hand would have been bought long ago.

The next day.

?Wang Tao drove the crystal energy vehicle, took Jiang Shixue and others, and left the base again.

After going out, Wang Tao looked at the direction and said:

“Let’s catch some zombies first, put them in the back of the car, and feed them some Night Stalker eggs!”

Since the main purpose of this time is to hunt zombies, Wang Tao is going to use all these dozens of Night Devil eggs. Not only can he kill the Night Devils, he can also save more money to sell the Night Devil hearts...
