Chapter 1428: Chapter 593: The Second Basic Attribute Meets the Standard

Rumble–

Watching the towering figure fall before him, Wang Tao retracted his wings and began to skillfully scavenge the spoils of war.

Then he let Lightning consume the zombie’s corpse, and he also took out some nutrient solution to replenish some energy.

It has been a week since Wang Tao left Zizhu Base.

During this week, he explored outward in a circular pattern centered on Wuyang City.

Wang Tao didn’t know how much area he had covered; he only knew that he had already slain four Giant Zombies alone.

Before the heavy snow, when Wang Tao didn’t have the ability to contend with Giant Zombies, he often saw them. Now that he had the capability, they surprisingly became elusive, which left Wang Tao rather speechless.

However, the silver lining was that, among the four Giant Zombies, all were Sixth Rank Lords with one million HP. Especially since two of these Giant Zombies possessed Basic Law Force!

Both of these Zombies with Basic Law Force had a freezing aura.

That meant Giant Zombies with a freezing aura were the ones with Basic Law Force. This was rational, after all, Giants with a freezing aura were difficult to handle. If not for Wang Tao being able to fly and cast curses, others would have no way to deal with them.

Besides the Giant Zombies, Wang Tao also encountered two Zombie Lords and one Mutant beast with negligible intelligence. They were all Sixth Rank Lords too, but none had the Basic Law Force.

Wang Tao’s Basic Law Force had now reached 3%. After killing so many Sixth Rank Lords, he only amassed 3%… Wang Tao felt quite helpless.

At this rate, there was no telling when he would gather 100%, considering Sixth Rank Lords weren’t so easy to find. The fact that Wang Tao encountered these few this time was not only due to his relentless search, but also his good luck.

Nonetheless, there was some good news; apart from collecting some Blood Beads, one of the six basic attributes Wang Tao needed for his Seventh Level Ascension was finally met – his Awakening Energy had reached Max Level!

The Max Level for Awakening Energy was ten thousand.

Wang Tao’s previous Awakening Energy was already over nine thousand, just short of ten thousand. Had he known that ten thousand was the Max Level, he might have upgraded it much sooner.

Every increase in the upper limit of Awakening Energy consumed all of the current energy, and the difficulty increased exponentially with each upgrade. Since killing enemies also replenished Awakening Energy, Wang Tao had left it to chance, given he was unclear on what was considered Max Level.

Recently, he had hunted many enemies, replenishing a substantial amount of Awakening Energy, and together with the accumulation of Awakening Crystal Cores and Awakening Energy Pearls, he was ready to increase his Awakening Energy to ten thousand.

Only then did he discover he could no longer upgrade it past ten thousand–this was the Max Level.

This was a small surprise for Wang Tao.

After all, an upper limit of ten thousand Awakening Energy was generally sufficient for his usage. If he continued to push beyond, the difficulty would rise exponentially, something even Wang Tao couldn’t withstand. Now, having reached the Max Level was pretty good.

Therefore, of Wang Tao’s six basic attributes, two were now complete, and four remained incomplete.

Among them, “Mana increased to Max Level,” was presumed to have a Max Level of one million mana, and this should not pose a large problem.

To Max out four Abilities, as long as one is willing to spend time hunting, Wang Tao didn’t see a big problem; it was just a matter of consuming time.

Reaching 100% in Basic Law Force relied on long-term persistence. If luck wasn’t on his side, he might need to slay hundreds of Sixth Rank Lords, which was quite a headache for Wang Tao.

But what troubled Wang Tao the most was “Maxing out four awakenings” as a basic attribute. Since there was no direct path to upgrade awakenings, and he couldn’t see what specific attributes they were, Wang Tao could only see a name. Hence, he felt speechless and unsure of how to upgrade.

For now, Wang Tao was trying to utilize his awakenings as much as possible; perhaps with more frequent use and practice, they would reach Max Level.

“Keep going! Let’s see if there are any other Giant Zombies…”

After a satisfying meal and drink, Wang Tao set off again.

“Hm?”

Moments later, Wang Tao realized he had arrived at Zijing City.

Seeing the familiar buildings below, he felt a wave of nostalgia.

Initially, he had spent some time in Zijing City, made many friends. Later, when the massive Zombie Tide arrived, Wang Tao led all the Survivors of Zijing City in resistance against the tide, persisting until Changhe Base sent Duan Xuchang to the rescue. All survivors boarded the train and left Zijin Base.

When leaving, they took whatever they could and preserved what they couldn’t in case other survivors arrived in the future.

Wang Tao planned to check the old Zijin Base to see if there were any other survivors.

Regrettably, Zijin Base was desolate. Not to mention survivors, there were no zombies either. Even the broken section on the high wall was almost the same as when he had left. It seemed that Zijing City Downtown was also devoid of zombies.

“Could it be that the massive Zombie Tide and so many zombies have all moved on…”

Wang Tao mused silently.

Zombie Tides are called such because they move. It was natural for them to leave Zijing City after discovering there was no food.

After confirming that the resources he left behind at Zijin Base were intact, Wang Tao left them untouched. He no longer needed those supplies now; they could be left for someone fated to find them.

“Since I’m already in Zijing City, I might as well make a trip to Shuize Base.”
