“Level 2 Zombie!”

The crowd exclaimed in shock.

Then they all subconsciously looked towards the dark green crystal core.

Although they couldn’t see the data, they could clearly feel that this crystal core was larger than any they had seen before!

Previous cores, despite their various types and colors, were all the same size without the slightest difference.

Therefore, this conspicuously larger crystal core… must be a Level 2 Crystal Core!

Everyone was captivated by the beautiful Level 2 Crystal Core.

Before they met Wang Tao, they only knew about Zombie Cores. It was after meeting him that they learned its full name was “Level 1 Crystal Core”.

If there was a Level 1, then presumably there would be Level 2, Level 3, and so on.

A Level 2 Zombie would definitely be stronger than a Level 1, and a Level 3 Zombie would be stronger than a Level 2, and so forth.

However, the zombies they encountered and killed had all been Level 1 Zombies. Gradually, everyone had started to overlook the concept of zombie levels.

Now, suddenly seeing this Level 2 Crystal Core, everyone was immediately reminded of the explanation Wang Tao had given before—that zombies had levels too, with Level 1 being the lowest!

Everyone had been feeling a sense of urgency lately, but now with the appearance of this Level 2 Zombie, they felt the pressure increase exponentially!

Wang Tao looked at the Level 2 Crystal Core. Compared with the Level 1 Crystal Core, this Level 2 Core was not only larger in appearance, but it also had one different attribute: purity.

The purity of a Level 1 Crystal Core was 50%, the rest being impurities.

These impurities were harmful to the human body. A small amount might be okay to absorb, but too many impurities carried the risk of turning someone into a zombie. The more impurities, the higher the risk of zombification!

Wang Tao had previously hoped that higher-level Crystal Cores, such as Level 2 and Level 3, would contain fewer impurities.

But now it seemed, he had thought too much.

The purity of a Level 2 Crystal Core was 5% lower than that of a Level 1 Crystal Core, meaning it contained even more impurities!

Merging Level 2 Crystal Cores would have to be done with even greater caution!

And Wang Tao suddenly remembered another important issue.

The purity of a Level 1 Crystal Core was 50%. Merging two cores would make it 100%.

But with a Level 2 Crystal Core having a purity of 45%, merging two cores would only reach 90%… Could it be that he would need three cores for a synthesis?

Unless Wang Tao didn’t mind accumulating some impurities in his body, he would need three cores for a synthesis, but the combined purity of three cores would be 135%!

He had tried before; purity cannot exceed 100%… which means, to synthesize a pure Level 2 Crystal Core, at least half a core would be wasted…

Wang Tao felt a pang of heartache.

“What level was Shao Yong before his death?”

At that moment, Xiang Hongbin suddenly spoke up, snapping Wang Tao out of his inner turmoil.

The others, curious, also turned their gaze to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao thought for a moment and said,

“He must have been a Level 1 ability user before death, becoming a Level 2 Zombie after… The specific reason is unclear since we still know too little about zombies…”

Wang Tao felt that reaching an HP limit of 5000 would likely lead to a Level 2 Ascension.

After all, Shao Yong had just over 4000 HP previously, which certainly wasn’t Level 2. After turning into a Level 2 Zombie, his HP limit rose to 5000… This HP was definitely related to the level.

But speaking of 5000 HP, the image of the Gorilla zombie surfaced in Wang Tao’s mind.

“I just thought of the Gorilla zombie, when we first saw it, it felt just like this Shao Yong! So, at that time, it must have been a Level 2 Zombie already!”

When Wang Tao first encountered the Gorilla zombie, it already had 5000 HP. He had felt completely outmatched by it.

However, at the time, Wang Tao didn’t know exactly how much he was outclassed by the zombie. Now he knew—the gap between him and the Gorilla zombie wasn’t just the HP difference, but also the level difference!

Then Wang Tao’s thoughts wandered. He remembered the first time he went out to scavenge airdrops, and encountered that almost paralyzing shadow on the outer ring road!

That shadow had a whopping 10000 HP and was above Level 2 as well!

No wonder he felt like his legs were turning to jelly at that time! Back then, he only had a little over 200 HP, not even qualifying as an ability user…

So Wang Tao said that if it hadn’t been for Shao Yong’s zombie being on the brink of death, even if they had eventually won with their numerical advantage, they might have paid a terrible price.

“Gorilla zombie…”

While everyone had been thrilled about killing Shao Yong, the realization that Level 2 Zombies like that Gorilla existed made their joy vanish in an instant.

Given the kind of attack they just mounted, aside from Shao Yong, no one might withstand it. But that was just barely a Level 1, critically injured Shao Yong!

If a Level 2 Zombie Shao Yong had appeared, they wouldn’t have had a chance to fight, reliant entirely on Wang Tao.

They dared not imagine just how terrifying an uninjured Zombie Shao Yong would be!

“Damn it, kill zombies! Improve strength!”

Xiang Hongbin violently kicked the corpse on the ground.

“You should rest if you need to, get busy if you have to; I’ll handle things here.”

Ren Jie pointed to the zombie’s body and the containment area.

Now that Shao Yong had been killed, the newly-built walls from last night could be dismantled. They also had to find a suitable reason not to panic the survivors.

“We’ll rest for a while and then go out to hunt zombies in the afternoon! What about you, Wang Tao?”

Zhen Guo asked.
