Chapter 271 - 142 Purification, Cleansing Potion_2
Seeing those eyes in the screen reflection that looked like green led lights, Wang Tao felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart.
Where were his big black eyes? How did they turn into something like the Green-eyed Zombie’s? How was he going to face people now?Wouldn’t survivors attack him mistaking him for a zombie?
“Are, are you okay?”
Han Rui approached Wang Tao with some caution, poking his arm.
“I… should be fine…”
Wang Tao scratched his head.
However, when he thought about his eyes, he saw the green color slowly fading away, returning to their normal black.
“Eh?”
Wang Tao felt amazed.
He tried several times and saw that his eyes were like flickering bulbs, switching between black and green.
After Han Rui confirmed that Wang Tao really was okay, she let down her guard and then came to sit opposite Wang Tao, staring curiously at his eyes.
“Your eyes, how did they turn like this? And… they actually look quite nice…”
Wang Tao was somewhat speechless.
He briefly described the zombie eyeball incident.
“Eh? That can merge too…”
Han Rui was very surprised.
“Right, turn off the lights, I want to try if I have night vision.”
Han Rui hurriedly shut off all the lights in the resting room.
Wang Tao then felt darkness envelop him, but he could still clearly see the surroundings and Han Rui.
“Your eyes, they’re still a bit scary in the dark…”
Han Rui said weakly.
“Haha, I really do have night vision!”
Wang Tao laughed heartily, he didn’t care whether it was scary or not, after all, it was others getting frightened, not himself.
Then he studied it carefully and found that he could only see clearer and have night vision abilities when his eyes were green. Once they turned black again, they were his normal eyes.
And when his eyes were green, he could adjust them. The brighter the eyes, the clearer the view and the stronger the night vision. If the eyes were only faintly green, like wearing green-colored contacts, it would only slightly improve his vision compared to normal eyes, and his night vision ability would also decrease a lot, but he still retained some night vision.
This was pretty good; he didn’t have to worry about being mistaken for a zombie and chased after.
Moreover, activating the green eyes didn’t consume Mana. Wang Tao guessed it might consume spirit or physical strength. However, after merging with these eyes, his spirit and physical strength were in excellent condition, so he couldn’t test this.
Han Rui looked at Wang Tao’s eyes with a bit of envy. If Wang Tao just slightly activated this ability, his eyes looked quite nice… Of course, what mattered wasn’t how nice they looked but rather the improved vision and night vision ability, which was a strong ability in a post-apocalyptic world!
“Stop staring at me, and get some rest.”
Wang Tao glanced at Han Rui.
“Oh…”
Han Rui’s face flushed with embarrassment, and then she continued leaning on Wang Tao’s shoulder.
Once Wang Tao got the hang of operating his green eyes, he looked at his attributes.
HP and Mana hadn’t changed at all; there were no extra internal impurities or skills. However, he had one additional Hidden Attribute!
[Hidden Attribute: Improved Body Conditions, Night Vision]
“Hidden Attribute? I can actually get another one…”
If compared to playing games, Abilities would be like learned skills, and Hidden Attributes would be like innate talents.
He thought Hidden Attributes couldn’t be acquired later on, but it turned out they could…
Although somewhat puzzled, this was good news. Since the night vision ability didn’t use Mana, it was practically his natural talent. Quite nice!
Moreover, these green eyes were just one of the rewards Wang Tao got from killing the Green-eyed Zombie!
The Green-eyed Zombie itself dropped the loot of a Healing Light Crystal Core and green eye orbs—oh right, and a Zombie Culture Fluid that could be stored in a Space Backpack!
[Zombie Culture Fluid: Can enhance the strength of zombies]
Seeing this item, Wang Tao furrowed his brows deeply.
He had a total of 1000 units of Zombie Culture Fluid, but… what should he do with it? Enhancing the power of zombies was just asking for trouble for humans!
And what was the extent of the enhancement? Would an Ordinary Zombie turn into an Elite Zombie, or could a Level 1 Zombie transform into a Level 2 Zombie? Wang Tao figured it was probably the former since there were indeed many Elite Zombies around the hospital, but only one Level 2 Zombie…
If it really had this effect, could zombies be raised like pigs and slaughtered at an opportune time?
But the risk was too high!
As everyone knows, in various works of fiction, those who “raise monsters” always end up getting bitten back!
So Wang Tao didn’t plan to use this thing. Maybe after growing stronger, he could experiment, but definitely not now. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
Wang Tao also figured out why all those zombies just stood dumbly in front of the stairwell door, why there were so many zombies beneath the Green-eyed Zombie, and why there were so many Elite Zombies in the hospital!
It was all because of the Zombie Culture Fluid inside the Green-eyed Zombie!
Wang Tao felt somewhat fortunate that he had collected all the Zombie Culture Fluid. Otherwise, if the Mad Demon Zombies outside got it, there was no telling what kind of monster would be bred!
Wang Tao continued to check the loot in his Space Backpack.
The Green-eyed Zombie had dropped two packages in total.
The first was a Crystal Core package, containing a total of 3 Level 2 Crystal Cores.
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Ascension]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 45% (No side effects)]
