Chapter 1034: Chapter 413 Missing Evidence Chapter 1034: Chapter 413 Missing Evidence Seeing Gu Yun’s message, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

Previously, Cui Sheng had asked Wang Tao if he had any plans to take up an official position at City Hall, but Wang Tao expressed no interest.

Compared to holding an office at City Hall and dealing with interpersonal relationships and such, he still preferred to hunt zombies outside to enhance his strength.

Even if it was just a nominal position, being a salary thief, Wang Tao wasn’t very interested. If he took up a position, he wouldn’t do nothing; he didn’t have that thick of a skin and would need to get some work done, which could delay the improvement of his strength. After all, his energy was limited, and he had no doppelgangers…

Gu Yun had also brought up the matter before, but since Wang Tao showed little interest, he didn’t mention it again.

But now, Gu Yun suddenly brought it up again and insisted that Wang Tao agree, which puzzled him. However, he was planning to go to City Hall anyway, so he’d find out what it was all about soon enough.

Wang Tao first replied to Gu Yun, saying he would come over later, and then replied to Jiang Hui, telling him he’d be right there.

“Does the snow seem to be heavier today than yesterday?”

As he stepped out, Wang Tao commented while looking at the snowflakes in his hand.

“It seems so.”

Jiang Shixue nodded.

“Damn this weather!”

When Wang Tao arrived at the garage, it was all covered in snow, making it impossible for the vehicle to leave. He urged everyone to clear the snow quickly. But there was also snow outside the main gate, including a thick layer on the road.

“Just take it slow…”

In this weather, you still need a vehicle to go out. The snow on the road kept piling up, making it increasingly difficult to clear. His vehicle was no longer suitable, and even though Wang Tao was an experienced driver, he still had to be extremely careful on the road.

Wang Tao was thinking whether he should go to the garrison of the Sixth Army Corps to bring over an armored track vehicle, which he had bought and parked there. However, such a vehicle didn’t offer much of a riding experience, and using it for everyday travel could be torturous…

At that moment, Wang Tao received another message, this one from Qu Shilin.

“Wang Tao, do you have time to come over here? Or should I come to you? Your vehicle has been modified, and in this kind of snowy terrain, it can move unimpeded!”

“I was just talking about the vehicle… I’ll come to you!”

Wang Tao’s eyes lit up.

City Hall, the police station, and the research institute were all in the same place, conveniently on the way.

On the road, Wang Tao drove with utmost care and spent a lot of time before finally arriving at the research institute. Luckily, there were no cars on the road; otherwise, it would’ve been even slower. Of course, in this weather, aside from Wang Tao, not many people were willing to go out…

When Wang Tao arrived at the entrance of the research institute, he didn’t see Qu Shilin but saw a very impressive and domineering tracked vehicle.

“This… It can’t be our off-road vehicle, can it?”

The vehicle’s design was completely different from before. However, as Wang Tao was still doubting, the door of the tracked vehicle opened, and a slim figure stepped out, waving at Wang Tao. It was Qu Shilin indeed.

“It really is?”

Wang Tao hurriedly drove his vehicle over.

“Wang Tao, how do you like the modifications to the vehicle?”

Qu Shilin spoke to Wang Tao, who had just gotten out of his vehicle, while blowing on her hands. Although she was a Level 3 ability user, it didn’t mean she wasn’t afraid of the cold. The temperature outside was too low.

“It looks awesome!”

Wang Tao admired, then curiously added:
“But is this really my vehicle modified? I can’t recognize it at all…”

This vehicle was completely different from the previous pickup truck design, and not only were the wheels replaced with tracks, the whole vehicle was also bigger and more angular… Of course, the entire vehicle was also covered with bulletproof armor, looking very powerful and technologically advanced (refer to the image below, borrowing from “that game 5”).

However, this tracked vehicle lacked a cargo bed, which could be inconvenient if needed to haul a load of zombie heads like before…

“Haha, it’s normal for you not to recognize it. I preserved your previous vehicle’s Crystal Energy Engine, but almost everything else is brand new…”

Qu Shilin explained with a smile.

“No wonder!”

Wang Tao nodded, then he and Jiang Shixue got into the tracked vehicle.

Because the Crystal Energy Engine was compact, the interior space was larger than Wang Tao had expected; seating for over a dozen people wouldn’t be a problem.

Qu Shilin had Wang Tao personally drive in the snow and, indeed, the tracks looked cumbersome but were actually quite agile.

Especially after Qu Shilin told Wang Tao that Berserk Mode had been modified as well, no longer uncontrollably reaching top Speed but now providing linear acceleration–Wang Tao could have as much Speed as he wanted. This improvement was quite good, as previously when he activated Berserk Mode, he always felt like “my body was flying ahead, my soul chasing behind…”

But these were not the most remarkable features of the vehicle; its most impressive aspect now was the modular design.

“What you see now isn’t the only form this vehicle can take. For example, these tracks can be quickly detached and replaced with wheels. Or the cabin size can be increased, or a cargo bed added, or various Armed features… Of course, many of these additions haven’t been made yet, but they should be ready soon. Because this winter may be quite long, we also need such a vehicle…”
