Chapter 1402: Chapter 581: Mutated Radiation Deadlife Grass

Disaster-level zombies, even in death, retain their cataclysmic awakening energy. Although much weaker, when Wang Tao nears the corpse of a radiation zombie, he still loses HP and feels extremely uncomfortable all over.

He quickly gathered up all the spoils of war and then flew onto the back of the Golden Eagle, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

Looking at Lightning sitting beside him, gazing eagerly at the corpse of the radiation zombie, Wang Tao smiled and patted its head, saying:

“This time it’s not possible, its corpse needs to be used to grow the Awakening Fruit.”

As expected, this disaster-level zombie also dropped an Awakening Seed, which definitely needs to be planted in its body to yield many more fruits.

Woof~

Lightning seemed quite sensible. After all, following Wang Tao meant there was always food available, so missing out this once wasn’t a big deal.

Wang Tao looked at the loot from this radiation zombie.

[Acquired: Sixth-Rank Crystal Core: Promotion x1]

[Acquired: Awakening Energy Beads x2]

[Acquired: Advanced Awakening Secret Key x2]

[Acquired: Magical Seed x1]

[Acquired: Radiation Eye x4]

[Acquired: Awakening Seed x1]

A total of six physical loot items, including two seeds.

[Magical Seed: When planted in the ground, it grows an intermediate monster. When planted in the body, it grants a hidden ability]

[Awakening Seed: When planted on the corpse of a fourth-order Lord-level or higher creature, it will grow an Awakening Fruit]

Magical Seeds can either grow intermediate monsters or grant a hidden ability. “Intermediate” refers to levels 4, 5, and 6.

If Wang Tao wasn’t clear on the conditions for ascending to the Seventh Level, he might have tried to see what kind of monster would emerge. However, since he now knows that one of the conditions for Seventh Level Ascension involves four awakenings, he decided to save this for others to use.

As for the other Awakening Seed, there is no question — it must be planted on the corpse of this radiation zombie.

As for the Radiation Eyes, these are crafting materials. Four large and hollow eyes look somewhat eerie.

Wang Tao then looked at the loot packs, a total of five packs.

The first Crystal Core Gift Bag contained a red [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Awakening], orange [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Omnipotence], purple [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Stripping], blue [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Advanced Defense], orange [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Mental Defense], and red [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Radiation Absorption].

Radiation Absorption was a type of crystal core Wang Tao was seeing for the first time.

[Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Radiation Absorption]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 25% (Side Effect: May cause radioactive disease)]

[Radiation Absorption: Capable of absorbing a certain degree of radiation to enhance personal strength, but excessive absorption may exacerbate radioactive disease]

This crystal core has seemingly decent attributes, but further thought reveals significant restrictions.

Firstly, the side effects are significant; although Wang Tao himself has not suffered from radioactive disease, he has seen it on the news — a slightly serious case can make life worse than death.

Even if Wang Tao could remove the side effects through integration, the Radiation Absorption Crystal Core itself requires the absorption of radiation, and not in excess. A slight carelessness could lead to radioactive disease…

Perhaps in some situations, this crystal core might be unexpectedly useful, but currently, it doesn’t look very effective.

The second loot pack contained Secret Keys.

[Acquired: Advanced Awakening Secret Key x2]

Awakening Secret Keys are no longer useful to Wang Tao; they are being saved for other members of the Starfire Society.

The third loot pack contained potions.

[Acquired: Radiation Resistance Potion x40]

[Radiation Resistance Potion: After injection, resistance against radiation greatly enhances for 10 minutes, cooldown 12 hours]

This Radiation Resistance Potion looks fairly useful; it would be appropriate to use one if encountering similar radiation zombies in the future, or going to radiation-exceeding areas.

The fourth loot pack contained a metal sphere, the size of a walnut, very exquisite, tempting one to play with it.

However, upon seeing the specific attributes of this metal sphere, Wang Tao’s hands subconsciously trembled, almost throwing it away.

[Acquired: Radiation Source x1]

[Radiation Source: Contains a large amount of radiation (not yet released, collision will release radiation)]

“A radiation source containing a large amount of radiation! Not released yet, but a collision will release it!”

Wang Tao was scared of the radiation being released, so he hurriedly stored this dangerous item in the Space Backpack.

Although he is already a Sixth Rank Awakened, this was “a large amount of radiation”–he might not withstand it!

Even if he could resist, any potential complications left afterwards would be problematic. Moreover, activating this radiation source only needs a touch; it’s too unsafe! A slight tremble could release the radiation; it’s safer to store it away.

But what use does this thing have?

Zombies might not necessarily fear radiation; perhaps the stronger the radiation, the stronger they mutate. However, humans fear radiation; if this thing was misplaced in a base, it could likely cause many deaths. But Wang Tao isn’t someone who would harm humans…

“Maybe it can be used like this…”

Wang Tao murmured, stroking his chin.

Since some zombies mutate in radiation, if he tossed this into a zombie herd, could it induce the emergence of more mutated zombies?

If something very similar to the recent Catastrophe-Level Radiation Zombie emerged, then Wang Tao could go hunting!
