Chapter 58 New Equipment
More than twenty mobs plus a BOSS. The fur of these giant rats can resist thunder-type attacks, so Angelica dahurica's superpowers can't help for the time being. Zhang Tianzhao's efficiency in killing mobs is about three per minute. Taking into account the sudden situation, if there are three monsters in two minutes, it will take at least fifteen minutes to clear out the mobs. The BOSS's ability is unclear. Judging from their last experience in killing the vulture, it might take an hour or even longer for them alone.
Bai Zhi opened her backpack and counted the blue medicine. When she was at Zhang Tianzhao's house, she reorganized her backpack. Now her backpack contained two sets of forty bottles of the largest blue medicine. She kept two bottles for herself and took out the blue medicine and gave it to Zhang Tianzhao. Zhang Tianzhao only accepted one group. He said: "There is a water tower in the northeast corner. Let's go up to the tower and lead these things to the bottom of the tower to beat them."
"Over there..." Bai Zhi turned and looked to the northeast. The firelight was reflected by the white snow and illuminated most of the factory area. There is indeed a steel-framed water tower to the northeast of the factory, more than a thousand meters away from them. There is also a seven or eight-story office building dozens of meters away from the water tower.
Zhang Tianzhao gestured with his finger between the water tower and the office building, and said: "The distance from the water tower to the roof of the office building is OK. If the water tower is knocked down by giant rats, we will go to the roof and go down to guide them to the corridor." Kill him here. For a BOSS with only 20 or so subordinates, the opportunity is rare."
"Clean the office building first?" Bai Zhi asked, turning her attention to the other side of the warehouse. More than twenty giant rats were chasing and playing in the open space. The largest one occupied a corner, arching its head towards the corner of the wall. The wall it arched had become loose, and pieces fell from time to time.
"It seems to be looking for something. It probably won't leave." Zhang Tianzhao said, "Let's go."
The door on the first floor of the office building was locked. Bai Zhi used a thunder ball to hit the door to make a sound, Bai Zhi used Jiang Hai to chop the door lock several times, and Zhang Tianzhao opened the door. The office building is very clean and has no peculiar smell. They opened the doors of almost every office on the first floor, and Zhang Tianzhao put all his desks, chairs, filing cabinets and other things into his backpack. Not even the door panels were spared.
At the stairway on the first floor, Zhang Tianzhao blocked the corridor with collected materials, leaving only a passage for one person to pass sideways. When he did these things, he was very serious, and the passage was straight and neat, as if it had been cut with a knife. Bai Zhi looked at it for a while and found that she couldn't help, so she immediately went to the second floor to open the door and open it. She noticed that Zhang Tianzhao did not use a chair when he blocked the corridor, so she left the chair when she cleaned the office. The main goal was Well-shaped filing cabinets and desks.
Since her power seemed to be able to charge electrical appliances, Bai Zhi was not polite when she found laptops, and accepted each one. They worked together to block the corridors on several floors and jumped from the top floor to the water tower. Zhang Tianzhao placed unused cabinets and tables here and there in the open space under the water tower, trying to create obstacles for the giant rat as much as possible.
"Is it useful?" Bai Zhi thought of the big hole in the warehouse door and felt that this method was not very reliable.
"Your thunderball has no effect on them. Try to keep them separated." Zhang Tianzhao said, "You go up, and I will lure the monsters."
"I'll go." Bai Zhi said, "I can run faster than you."
"You can't run as fast as me with your skills." Zhang Tianzhao lightly pecked Bai Zhi on the cheek, "Go up."
Bai Zhi didn't insist. The last time she used her skills on the road, she couldn't run as fast as him. She took out the small crisper containing the monster-inducing weapon and gave it to him. Zhang Tianzhao took the crisper box with a smile and left. Bai Zhi climbed up to the tower to see him. Zhang Tianzhao stopped for a few minutes before continuing. After a while, he stopped nearly a hundred meters away from the group of giant rats, threw out a bottle, and turned around and ran away. The reaction of the giant rats was a bit slow, but the speed was not slow. The BOSS rat took the lead and led his younger brother in close pursuit. Zhang Tianzhao did not use Xiaoqinggong. He ran very fast and led the rats under the water tower, and immediately jumped to Bai Zhi.
After Zhang Tianzhao fired the first ice pick, he hugged the steel frame of the escalator and gasped for air. Bai Zhi aimed at a giant rat and read the message. In the dim light, the pink line between her and the big rat was very conspicuous. The giant rat attacked by her skill squeaked and hit the water tower. About ten seconds later, a large bloody hole appeared on the giant rat's head. It knocked over a filing cabinet and did not move again.
Bai Zhi smiled at Zhang Tianzhao and aimed at the next target. They had a tacit understanding to let go of the biggest BOSS, and harvested the lives of the giant rats one after another. The BOSS led a group of subordinates and angrily hit the tower. The squeaking sound is very scary. Bai Zhi focused on the team panel and estimated the amount of mana she would use to restore mana.
Five or six minutes later, the water tower showed signs of collapse during the impact. Zhang Tianzhao shot the ice pick at the last monster and made a gesture to Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi climbed up the steel frame and used her skills at the highest point to jump to the top floor of the office building. Zhang Tianzhao arrived at the top floor a few seconds behind her.
The giant rat boss screamed and turned around to chase them. They didn't stop at the top floor and ran all the way to the first floor. Zhang Tianzhao threw a bottle of blood water towards the foyer on the first floor, and soon the BOSS ran into the foyer.
When this behemoth, nearly two meters high and four meters long, squeezed through the door, the door frame came loose and collapsed, and the plaster ceiling of the foyer fell down, making a dull impact. The blue ice pick shot towards its head with blue-purple electric light. The tip of the awl was stuck one-third of the way in, and black blood flowed from the wound and onto the water-polished granite floor tiles in the foyer. It squeaked and rushed toward the stairs, crashing into cabinets and tables. Zhang Tianzhao kept shooting ice cones, fighting and retreating. Bai Zhi aimed at the wound on its head and used the attack skill to take a step back.
The desks and filing cabinets were not strong and collapsed and were broken under the impact, adding many obstacles to the giant rat's progress. The giant rat was too big for the corridor. It squeezed into the corner of the stairs with difficulty, and was stuck there unable to move.
Zhang Tianzhao's ice pick continued to enlarge the wound on the giant rat's head. Bai Zhi tried to gather a thunder ball and throw it over. The giant rat's wound immediately burned, and the smell of burnt meat was very disgusting. The giant rat screamed angrily, its squeaking loud and urgent.
Angelica dahurica pops up clusters of thunderballs. One after another, purple thunder beads exploded at the giant rat's wound. Even though the rat's skin was not damaged, the BOSS still let out a cry of pain. Its body twitched violently, its tail whipped back and forth, and the corridor began to shake. Dust fluttered from the ceiling.
Zhang Tianzhao pulled Bai Zhi upstairs. When they retreated to the second floor, the stairs could not withstand the double pressure of the giant rat's weight and strength and broke. The corner of the first floor collapsed, and half of the wall pressed on the giant rat. It shook its body and shook the wall bricks away. The giant rat opened its mouth and screamed, jumping towards the second floor. It doesn't jump very high, but the impact when it falls is big enough. The floor on the second floor was shaking violently. Every attack from Bai Zhi made it more angry. Its red eyes stared at Bai Zhi firmly, as if expecting to bite Bai Zhi's bones into pieces.
"Go up, I'll bring it to the second floor to beat it." Zhang Tianzhao said to Bai Zhi as an ice pick was driven into the wound on the giant rat's head.
Bai Zhi goes upstairs. The stairs didn't seem to be very stable. After she took a few steps, the corridor became crooked. "Senior sister, the corridor won't last long."
Zhang Tianzhao took out the cabinet and threw it at the giant rat, "Go to the third floor." He threw the cabinets one after another. It was estimated that the giant rat could use these cabinets to jump to the second floor, so he ran towards the third floor.
Zhang Tianzhao just ran to the third floor, and the stairs from the third floor to the second floor also collapsed. More than a dozen tables, cabinets, and bricks were thrown at the giant rat BOSS. The giant rat's cries became more ferocious.
Bai Zhi was very cautious when using her skills and always maintained a state of nearly full mana. Zhang Tianzhao had already drank four or five blue bottles during the constant attacks. The giant rat jumped from the second floor to the third floor. After trying dozens of times, it finally got stuck. The battle lasted for about half an hour, and the giant rat BOSS finally showed its fatigue. Its cry became much weaker, its jumping height became lower and lower, and the rest time between two jumps became longer and longer.
Zhang Tianzhao stopped attacking and asked Bai Zhi: "How far are you from upgrading?"
"It's still two blocks away from ninety-seven." Bai Zhi said, "I have upgraded the fatal blow, and the upper limit of the target's health is 45%. Do you want to try it now?"
"Try it." Zhang Tianzhao said, "The water tower outside may collapse."
Bai Zhi checks the blue bar and uses a fatal blow on the BOSS. After releasing the skill, Zhang Tianzhao immediately grabbed her waist and dragged her backwards. The giant rat's screams suddenly stopped. Bai Zhi groaned softly, cold sweat seeping from her forehead, she gasped and said: "I have upgraded."
"I'm ninety-six years old." Zhang Tianzhao didn't let go. He hugged her and walked towards the giant rat's body, joking with her, "You touch it first."
"Senior sister!" Bai Zhi scolded with a smile: "Put me down and go quickly."
Zhang Tianzhao sighed and put her against the wall. Large balls of white light emerged from the giant rat's body and floated towards them.
Zhang Tianzhao took out his rubber gloves and put them on his hands, avoiding the ball of light and jumping down.
Angelica dahurica absorbs light groups very efficiently. Zhang Tianzhao stayed down there for a little too long. After she absorbed the light group, Zhang Tianzhao was still down there. Bai Zhi jumped down, and Zhang Tianzhao stretched out his fist towards her, "Look." He opened his fist, and in his palm was a golden crystal the size of a marble, which was round and slightly turbid inside. It looked like a beautiful Marbles.
"Where did it come from?" Bai Zhi breathed, "The head?"
"The location of the pineal gland." Zhang Tianzhao took out a transparent bag, put the crystal in, and handed it to Bai Zhi, "Put it away."
Bai Zhi turned around and used the peeling skill, "No, my backpack is full of food. Putting these things makes me feel bad."
"Okay." Zhang Tianzhao put the bag away, "What's what you peeled out?"
"No difference, five skins." Bai Zhi waved her hands and walked toward the corridor leading to the office. The half of the hall next to the door has completely collapsed, so it is easier to get out through the office window. Zhang Tianzhao entered an office ahead of her and took down the window. When Bai Zhi jumped out, the water tower fell to the corner of the office building at an increasingly faster speed, making an extremely loud noise.
Zhang Tianzhao jumped out and hugged her to avoid the rising smoke, and said proudly: "It's only five degrees off."
"Did you do it?" Bai Zhi looked at him in surprise.
"Calculate the stress points." Zhang Tianzhao seemed like a child who got his favorite toy. "The power of mutated animals is really great. Next time I have a chance to get explosives, I will take you back to my alma mater and blow up the teaching building to show you."
"Hey, my boyfriends all set off fireworks. Doesn't it look good if you blow up the building?" Bai Zhi scolded with a smile.
"There is no technical content in setting off fireworks." Zhang Tianzhao took Bai Zhi's hand and said, "After I get the explosives, I will look for information and make a firework for you. After blowing up the building, I will show it to you."
The pineal glands of the giant rats were still pineal glands. Zhang Tianzhao had no harvest. Bai Zhi had more than ten furs in her backpack. Not every mutant animal could skin them. They turned back to where the rats had first gathered. Zhang Tianzhao took out a hoe and dug into the stench for a long time, and dug out a black stone the size of a tea cup from the corner where the boss was arching. He washed the stone clean with water polo, put on gloves and took it to a light place to observe.
Under the dim light, dots of golden light particles spread all over the surface of the stone. Zhang Tianzhao turned the stone over, and the same happened on the other side. Golden light spots gathered into light clusters on the surface of the stone, carrying a sweet smell similar to the arrival of a ball of light.
"It looks like a meteorite." Bai Zhi said.
"Probably. It's quite heavy." Zhang Tianzhao took out a transparent sealed bag and put the stone in it. "When I return to Shanghai, I need to find a way to check the astronomical data in the past month or two." He put the bag into his backpack.
"There should be no one in this factory area." Zhang Tianzhao sighed towards the direction of the original fire, "Let's go."
Bai Zhi looked back at that place and asked, "Are you going back to the village?"
"Go to your brother and the others." Zhang Tianzhao was very interested. He walked to a piece of snow, pointed out a few points, and marked the direction. Then he moved his position several times, drew lines between several points, and finally concluded: : "Go north along the road outside, and you should be able to meet them. I also have a car in my backpack. It's a pity that the RV was blown up."
When they got to the highway, Zhang Tianzhao took out his car, and they got in and headed north. About twenty minutes later, they passed a field and entered the edge of a city. Traces of the battle can be seen everywhere on the roadside. Jiang Qingyue's white mask is very eye-catching in the dim snow light. One kilometer away from the photomask, Zhang Tianzhao stopped the car and said to Bai Zhi, "How about we find a place nearby to enter the gang's territory?"
"You can find a place to rest. There is no need to enter the gang territory." Bai Zhi said softly: "It's almost four o'clock, and it will be dawn in two hours. Jiang Qingyue's mask may not be able to last until dawn." Jiang Qingyue and Bai Zhi felt very depressed when they thought of Xiaobao who had turned into a zombie. She couldn't help but put her hand on her right shoulder, "Xiaobao still recognized me after he turned into a zombie."
"Don't think about it." Zhang Tianzhao hugged her, "He is still young. If he becomes a zombie for a long time, he will forget that he was a human being. He will still have a happy life."
"Xiaobao is a very cute child." Bai Zhi buried her head in Zhang Tianzhao's arms.
Bai Zhi likes that cute little boy very much. Zhang Tianzhao sighed softly, put his chin on the top of her head, turned off the lights in the car, and warmed her with his body temperature in the darkness.
After a while, Bai Zhi raised her head, kissed his chin, and said, "I'm fine." She sat down in the passenger seat and said softly, "You go to sleep for a while. If there is any movement over there, I'll call you." At dawn. After returning to the team, as a woman being taken care of, she may not have the opportunity to stand up and fight, and has a lot of time to rest.
"Okay." Zhang Tianzhao did not refuse and leaned back on the chair to sleep. After daybreak, he had a lot to do. He's been physically exhausted and really needs to rest now.
Bai Zhi changed her sitting position and squinted her eyes to stare at the white light mask in the distance. The white light of the light mask was dimmer than before. Jiang Qingyue, who was maintaining the light mask, must be very tired. Everyone's destiny is in their own hands, and Jiang Qingyue's fate has nothing to do with others. Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head slightly, opened the gang panel, and as she expected, the gang development points doubled. It seems that the white light ball dropped by the BOSS is the development point. Bai Zhi took out her notepad and recorded the time, type of BOSS and total number of development points with the help of snow light.
Bai Zhi pondered over the technology tree, analyzed several methods, and wrote them down on her notepad. Finally, she opened her ability panel. There were no new abilities to add points to. Bai Zhi stared blankly at the power panel without any prompts for a while, and decided to save the extra points from this upgrade. She took a piece of rat skin from her backpack and analyzed it carefully. This piece of rat skin was placed in the backpack without any instructions. It was a bit heavy in the hand and had no smell. It had chestnut-colored short velvet on one side and smooth leather on the other. The size was a regular two meters by two meters. It seems like this size is really only suitable for rugs. Angelica dahurica folds the corners of the fur, which is very soft. She opened the skills panel to check. A new option has appeared in the Sewing skill panel. Bai Zhi quickly clicked on the new option. There was only one item in the panel: leather clothing. Production materials: one-half piece of rat skin * five gold threads. It consumes fifty points of energy.
There are dozens more gold threads in the backpack. Bai Zhi arranged the mouse skin and silk threads and started making leather clothes. The reading bar on the skill panel was very slow. It took about half an hour for the reading bar to disappear. There was an extra leather jacket in her backpack without any attribute description. Bai Zhi took out the leather jacket. It is a simple hunting suit style, dark maroon, looks much larger than her size, and fits Zhang Tianzhao perfectly. Bai Zhi covered Zhang Tianzhao with this leather coat, and then made the second and third leather coats.
When Zhang Tianzhao woke up, he found the leather jacket. He happily took off his jacket and put it on, and asked, "New equipment?"
"Yes." Bai Zhi handed him an enchantment, "If it can be enchanted, you can take it."
Zhang Tianzhao took the enchantment and patted it on the leather jacket. He raised his arm and said, "It seems that he moved a little faster. What did you give me?"
"It increases running speed by 5%." Bai Zhi smiled at him, "I made several of them, and after a while of shooting, I found that these enchantments can be attached to newly made leather jackets at will."
"Good stuff! How many pieces of skin does it cost to make one?" Zhang Tianzhao buttoned up, "It just looks a bit ugly."
"Half a piece." Bai Zhi took out the two leather jackets she had made. The two pieces looked very different. One was the same hunting suit as Zhang Tianzhao, and the other was a black jacket. Zhang Tianzhao immediately took off his hunting clothes and took away his jacket.
"You can choose the look?" Zhang Tianzhao zipped up with satisfaction.
"It doesn't seem possible. Maybe it's not because of the piece of skin." Bai Zhi checked the backpack, "Hey, there is one piece of steel ingot missing. There is also one piece of horn missing. These are not mentioned in the recipe. It's really annoying. Let me see what was done just now. What kind of thing?" She put away the two hunting jackets and took out a leather jacket. This one was the same as Zhang Tianzhao. It was also a black jacket. Bai Zhi conveniently enchanted this jacket with a speed-increasing enchantment.
"The mask disappeared." Zhang Tianzhao raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I slept for more than two hours." He took a large cup, water bottle and milk powder from his backpack.
Bai Zhi poured the milk powder, and when the boiling water poured into the cup, she took out the chopsticks to stir. Zhang Tianzhao took back the water bottle and milk powder, and took out the pancakes from last night. The pancakes were still steaming. He popped out a large ball of water to wash his hands and motioned Bai Zhi to put her hand into the water ball.
Bai Zhi put her hand into the water ball and pulled it out after a minute. Zhang Tianzhao opened the car window, popped the water ball out, and quickly closed the car window. Bai Zhi held up the lunch box and asked him to take the cake. Zhang Tianzhao said with a smile: "It has to be raised a little higher."
Bai Zhi moved back, raised the lunch box to the height of her eyebrows, and moved it in front of him. Zhang Tianzhao picked up a piece of cake, tore off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, then tore off another piece and stuffed it into his own mouth.
"It's so silly to play like this." Bai Zhi smiled, put down the lunch box, took the cake and ate it attentively.
Zhang Tianzhao swallowed the cake and said, "It's quite fun." He took a big sip of milk and handed the cup to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi took the cup and suddenly pointed out the car window and said, "Lin Yunlai is outside."
Zhang Tianzhao turned around, and sure enough, Lin Yunlai was standing on the corner across the road, his face was illuminated by the dim light, and he looked at them with a smile.
Zhang Tianzhao opened the door and motioned for him to get in the car. He trotted over and got into the back seat, "When did you find him?"
"Two or three hours ago." Zhang Tianzhao took out a thermos bottle and a cup of milk powder from his backpack. Bai Zhi put down the cup and helped to soak the milk. Zhang Tianzhao took out a box of hot cakes and gave it to him. Lin Yunlai took the hot milk, took a sip, and said, "They are behind."
Zhang Tianzhao quickly got out of the car and put several cups on the seat. Bai Zhi quickly made several large glasses of hot milk. Gu Tianbai and Xiao Qi ran over and pulled Zhang Tianzhao away. The two of them dragged Bai Zhi out, pinched her face, touched her head and smelled carefully for a long time. Xiao Qi said: "It doesn't taste right."
"There's something wrong." Gu Tianbai glanced at Zhang Tianzhao. Someone's smell didn't seem right.
Zhang Tianzhao honestly presented two boxes of hot fried rice. Bai Zhi retracted into the car and brought two cups of hot milk. Yue Dongting glanced at Bai Zhi's face and said happily: "Master's wife is white." He consciously bent over and got into the car to get the milk. Hai Fengqiu walked over slowly without saying anything. Bai Zhi handed him the milk, he took it with a smile, turned around and grabbed the cake from the lunch box in Yue Dongting's hand.
After breakfast, Zhang Tianzhao put the car back into his backpack. When they returned to the square, the mask had not disappeared. The soldiers on duty in the mask saw them and jumped on a certain vehicle, and soon the mask disappeared. Haifengqiu took them into a military vehicle, where Ren Xiaonan and Fatty Xing were sleeping soundly next to each other. The cold air brought in when the door curtain was lifted made Ren Xiaonan shiver. He opened his eyes and saw Bai Zhi, stretched out his hand to shake Bai Zhi, tilted his head and fell asleep again. Bai Zhi took out two cups of brewed milk and unscrewed the lid of one cup. Ren Xiaonan opened his eyes immediately when he smelled the fragrance, rushed to pick up the cup, and shouted with a happy smile: "Bai Zhi, brother, I miss you so much."
Fatty Xing opened his eyes, stood up and took out a flashlight to shine on Bai Zhi's face. He looked at it carefully for several minutes, inhaled while looking, and said, "Can you let me see the wound?"
"No." Zhang Tianzhao refused confidently, "After cleaning the wound, she will be fine."
Bai Zhi handed the milk to Fatty Xing and took out two boxes of hot cakes from her backpack and gave them to them. "You guys eat something first."
"Where have you been?" Gu Tianbai asked.
"We spent one night in a nearby village. The house had a stove and some noodles. So we got some food." Bai Zhi said with a smile, "We saw that the photo mask here was very conspicuous in the village, so we decided to I came here before dawn."
Ren Xiaonan devoured the cake, drank a whole glass of milk in a big gulp, and said: "Finally something hot to eat. I heard that you have an awesome RV and it was blown up by that little bitch Jiang Qingyue." ?”
