The group first lamented the condition of the hospital before the conversation turned to Shao Yong.
“It’s not good news that Shao Yong isn’t dead, given his personality, he will definitely seek revenge. Let’s have the Hunters stay in for the time being and first find Shao Yong’s whereabouts…”
The fact that Shao Yong was still alive was bad news, but “Wang Tao discovering Shao Yong wasn’t dead” was good news. Otherwise, if everyone still thought Shao Yong was dead and lowered their guard, that would be a real problem.
“I think we can send someone to investigate the underground mall. Didn’t Wang Tao say he had no car when he left and was chased by a large group of zombies? There is a good chance he hasn’t made it back to the underground square…”
Feng Ming’an suddenly said.
Those of them who often ventured out knew the terror of the post-apocalyptic world all too well. Without a vehicle for transportation, one generally couldn’t get very far. Most of the time, one had to hide from zombies. After all, even the strongest survivors feared being surrounded by zombies.
And with Shao Yong being seriously injured, he might be hiding somewhere right now. If someone was sent to stake out the underground mall, they might be able to discover his whereabouts.
“Yes, we’ll have to send someone to keep watch.”
Wei Zhenguo nodded, then asked,
“Wang Tao, you’ve already seen Shao Yong. What do you think of his strength?”
“It’s hard to say specifically, since a person’s strength is composed of many different factors. But I feel that if both of us were in our best condition, I probably wouldn’t be his match.”
Wang Tao said with a serious expression.
“What? You’re not his match?”
When the others heard this, they all had the same expression as Han Rui did initially, one of disbelief.
They all had an idea of how strong Wang Tao was.
To put it bluntly, without using firearms, all of them commissioners combined might not even be a match for Wang Tao!
Wang Tao was indisputably the top combat power of the base!
And yet, such a formidable Wang Tao might not be a match for Shao Yong?
“He’s… really that strong?”
Xiang Hongbin was somewhat unwilling to believe it.
At first, when the apocalypse came, he got stronger by killing zombies and felt like he was the strongest survivor. It was indeed proven later that he was very strong. He was the number one combat power of Shuize Base!
But then Wang Tao arrived, an Ability User. That meant the end of his position at the top.
However, Xiang Hongbin didn’t really care about such empty titles; whether first or second didn’t matter since they were all on the same side.
But now, if Shao Yong was even stronger than Wang Tao, didn’t that mean he would have to settle for third place?
That was upsetting!
Of course, it wasn’t just the thought of being third that was upsetting. More distressing was the fact that Shao Yong’s formidable strength meant he would become a huge enemy to the base!
“I can’t be sure, but my feelings should be correct,”
Wang Tao shook his head.
“That doesn’t make sense… As I recall, you became an Ability User in the first few days of the apocalypse, and it seems like you never really stopped killing zombies, and you’ve fused with quite a few Zombie Cores. Could Shao Yong have become an Ability User earlier than you or killed more zombies?”
Ren Jie was somewhat puzzled. Was Shao Yong’s talent truly exceptional?
Facing their questions, Wang Tao became even more serious.
“This brings me to the second issue I wanted to discuss with you—the problem of fusing with Zombie Cores. Shao Yong is strong, but he may have fused with too many Zombie Cores. I can feel that there are a lot of impurities in his body, about 70% Internal Impurities! That is to say, his probability of turning into a zombie is much higher than any of us!”
“What? He’s going to turn into a zombie?”
Liu He was somewhat pleased; if Shao Yong turned into a zombie, that would indeed be good news. However, seeing the solemn expressions on everyone else’s faces, he quickly realized the gravity of the situation and hastily asked,
“Wang Tao, are you saying that Shao Yong has fused with too many Crystal Cores, leading to a high chance of him turning into a zombie…”
“Yes,”
Wang Tao nodded.
“Then, exactly how many Crystal Cores has he fused with?”
Ren Jie asked urgently.
“I don’t know that, I can only make a rough estimate, but I will need your help.”
“No problem!”
Everyone immediately nodded.
This was a matter that concerned their own safety! Previously, Wang Tao had mentioned that fusing with these Cores would produce Internal Impurities in the body, and too many impurities could turn someone into a zombie.
At the time, everyone was anxious for a while, but after realizing that Wang Tao seemed fine and so were they, they didn’t pay much attention to it. But hearing about Shao Yong’s situation, they suddenly became a little panicked. After all, no one wanted to turn into a zombie!
“Everyone, state how many Crystal Cores you have fused with, whether you succeeded or failed, as long as you attempted the fusion, it counts…”
Wang Tao said while looking at their Attributes.
In this group of commissioners, only Liu He’s Internal Impurity level showed 0%, the rest all had some impurities.
Of course, it wasn’t much, probably because Wang Tao had previously warned them of the dangers of fusing Zombie Cores. They were fairly cautious with their fusions.
“I’ve merged with… 12 Cores? Right, 12 Crystal Cores, but only 5 were successful…”
Xiang Hongbin was the first to speak.
Wang Tao glanced at Xiang Hongbin; his blue bar read 500, which matched what he had said. His Internal Impurity level was 6%.
“I’ve merged with 7 Crystal Cores and succeeded with 4 of them,”
Wei Zhenguo followed. His Internal Impurity level was 3%.
Feng Ming’an thought for a moment and said,
“If I remember correctly, I should have merged with 5 Cores and succeeded with 3 of them…”
Feng Ming’an’s Internal Impurity level was 1%.
“I’ve only merged with two Cores, and both were successful,”
Lu Gang said with a smile. His Internal Impurity level was 1%.
“I also merged with three Cores, two of which were successful,”
Ren Jie had an Internal Impurity level of 1%; he had merged with two Cores, both successfully.
Finally, there was Liu He, who had successfully merged with one Core, and his Internal Impurity level was o%…
Wang Tao wrote down their data and pondered. He had previously thought about the fact that 0% didn’t mean none, it could have been rounded. So going by everyone’s situation…
After a moment, Wang Tao’s eyes lit up.
“I think I know. Theoretically, whether successful or not, the maximum number of Crystal Cores one person should merge with shouldn’t exceed 200…”
