“…”

Upon hearing He Jijun’s words, Wang Tao couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Hunting a zombie in seven days?

Such patience, Wang Tao could only say was awesome!

And he had actually succeeded!

An ordinary person had succeeded in hunting a zombie that was probably a Level 3 Elite!

This even made Yang Changhong and the others feel embarrassed…

“Admirable!”

Wang Tao truly admired him.

Then he added,

“Old man, do you know about the levels of zombies or Ability Users?”

“Not very clear…”

He Jijun shook his head.

Wang Tao explained,

“Zombies, Ability Users, and some monsters are all classified into Levels 1, 2, 3, and so on. Each level has different types, including Ordinary, Elite, Lord… The zombie you killed is at least a Level 3 Elite, and your current level, doesn’t even count as Level 1, you’re just an ordinary person…”

“Oh? So I’m pretty awesome, huh? Haha!”

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, He Jijun raised his eyebrows.

“Very awesome!”

Wang Tao nodded.

But He Jijun shook his head again.

“It’s a pity…”

He didn’t say what exactly was a pity, but Wang Tao could see the regret in his eyes.

Wang Tao did not probe further about it.

He looked toward the other Crystal Cores.

He had seen most of these types of Crystal Cores before. Occasionally, there were some he hadn’t seen, but Wang Tao could tell their effects at a glance. 𐍂άɴo͍BЕŠ

After looking for a while, he looked up at He Jijun and said,

“Old man, some of these Crystal Cores are actually quite good. For example, Rush, Jump, Precision Shooting, Throwing Master, Self-healing…”

Wang Tao briefly described the general functions of these Crystal Cores.

He Jijun had mostly been on his own during his travels, and no one had told him about these things. Now that he heard the abilities of these Crystal Cores, his eyes widened.

“So these are Ability Users…”

No wonder so many people wanted to become Ability Users… However, He Jijun hadn’t forgotten that these abilities had side effects. He looked at Wang Tao.

“So, what’s the price to pay?”

“The price is… the Rush Ability can cause stiffness in limbs, the Jump Ability can make one sensitive to noise, Precision Shooting can blind an eye, Throwing Master can make one irritable, and Self-healing can reduce tactile sensitivity…”

As Wang Tao spoke, He Jijun’s expression grew increasingly grim.

These side effects… were too severe!

“Then I’ll have to consider it more…”

He Jijun was conflicted. The abilities were strong, but he didn’t want those kinds of side effects. If it really came down to it… he would rather not have an Ability! After all, he had gotten by without an Ability up to now, hadn’t he?

“Sure. Take your time to consider it.”

Wang Tao didn’t say much else. He returned all the Crystal Cores to him, then mentioned,

“By the way, old man, do you know about the military base in Wuyang City?”

Wang Tao thought He Jijun, having been a soldier before, would probably know some information.

“I know about it. You planning to go?”

Hm? He Jijun really knew it?

Wang Tao was a bit surprised, it would be even better if someone could guide them. He didn’t conceal his intentions and said openly,

“Yes, our destination is the military base. Old man, you came to Wuyang City, you must want to visit it too, right?”

“Yeah. I served here before.”

He Jijun nodded, his eyes showing some nostalgia.

“Oh? That’s really fortunate! How about we go together? Wuyang City is very dangerous, you must have experienced it, so if we go together, we can also have each other’s company.”

Wang Tao immediately said.

“You want me to lead you to the military base?”

He Jijun saw through Wang Tao’s intentions at a glance.

“Yes.”

Wang Tao candidly admitted it.

He Jijun fell silent for a moment, then said,

“Fine. I was planning to go there anyway.”

“Haha, then here’s to a happy cooperation!”

Wang Tao extended his right hand to him, and this time He Jijun did not refuse. They shook hands.

After that, Wang Tao didn’t say much more and focused on eating his food.

Then he noticed a small detail, He Jijun, after having two sips of alcohol at the beginning, didn’t drink anymore.

He Jijun noticed Wang Tao’s puzzled look and said calmly,

“Drinking too much can lead to mistakes. A taste is enough to be content.”

“Old man, your self-control is truly strong!”

He Jijun was very restrained when it came to drinking, but when it came to eating, he didn’t hold back.

Since Wang Tao was treating him, he might as well eat his fill.

Despite looking thin, he had a large appetite, and he was especially capable of eating among ordinary people.

Of course, Wang Tao didn’t mind, he had plenty of food.

After the meal, Wang Tao returned the bullets he had unloaded from He Jijun’s gun back to him. After chatting for a while longer, they prepared to rest.

For safety, everyone chose to rest in the same room. Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan took turns on watch, stationed in the outside living room. Yang Changhong lay on the couch, while Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue slept in the bed.

Compared to finding a bed to sleep in like Wang Tao did, He Jijun was much more casual. He simply hugged his hunting rifle, sat down in a corner, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep instantly.

But when a zombie approached the door, he was the first to open his eyes.

“There’s a zombie coming!”

Wang Tao, who had already fallen asleep, instantly woke up. He hastily used his Perception to check and, upon discovering it was only an Ordinary zombie, he sighed in relief.

He thought, considering there were supposed to be people taking turns on watch, they would definitely have called him if there was a dangerous zombie. Why had no one called now? It turned out to be just an Ordinary zombie.

However, He Jijun wasn’t familiar with them and didn’t know their customs, so that was normal.
