Chapter 386: Chapter 179: Magic Seeds_3
He had already obtained over nine thousand portions of Tree Essence Liquid before, but unexpectedly, it burst out with ten thousand more portions!
With nearly twenty thousand portions of Tree Essence Liquid at hand, Wang Tao felt that it was time to test its effects.
“Little Xue, try this.”
In the darkness, Wang Tao gently patted the person leaning against him.
A pair of eyes gleaming red opened.
Wang Tao took out a portion of Tree Essence Liquid, and a very pleasant fragrance emerged.
A portion of Tree Essence Liquid was 10ml, appearing quite small. As Wang Tao held it in his palm and was about to look for a container, Jiang Shixue suddenly leaned her head over and, like a kitten, licked his palm.
“…”
Wang Tao felt a ticklish sensation in his palm.
After consuming the Tree Essence Liquid, the red glow in Jiang Shixue’s eyes intensified.
“It’s delicious! I want more~”
Wang Tao had plenty of Tree Essence Liquid and naturally wouldn’t be stingy.
However, before handing over another portion of the Tree Essence Liquid, Wang Tao checked Jiang Shixue’s attributes.
Jiang Shixue’s HP had been 22,200 before, but after drinking a portion of Tree Essence Liquid, it was now 22,300 HP, an increase of 100! And it wasn’t just her HP; her Mana also increased by 100!
“Hiss—One portion of Tree Essence Liquid adds 100 HP and 100 Mana? Is it really that awesome?”
Wang Tao was taken aback. With nearly twenty thousand portions of Tree Essence Liquid in his hands, wasn’t that equivalent to two million in HP and Mana?
But soon, Wang Tao realized that things weren’t so simple.
After drinking ten portions in a row, Jiang Shixue felt that her strength wouldn’t increase anymore for the time being.
In other words, after she gained an additional 1,000 HP and 1,000 Mana, she had temporarily reached her limit. As for when it would be effective again, Jiang Shixue couldn’t say.
Wang Tao thought about it and then drank ten portions himself.
Though his HP had reached its limit, his Mana was still far behind. He was nearly at 30,000 HP, but his Mana was only 4,800, which he definitely needed to boost!
Down went ten portions of Tree Essence Liquid, and while Wang Tao’s HP remained unchanged, his Mana increased by 1,000, reaching 5,800!
The effect was very satisfying, and Wang Tao was quite pleased.
And it should be said, the flavor of this Tree Essence Liquid was indeed delightful.
Jiang Shixue was a bit greedy and wanted more. Wang Tao gave her a few more portions and then called Xu Xiaojun over, providing him with ten portions as well.
Wang Tao was generous with his own people; after all, they were teammates who fought side by side. Their strength was his guarantee of survival.
The next day.
Wang Tao woke up early; Xu Xiaojun had been on watch all night but was still bursting with energy, not showing any signs of tiredness.
However, for safety’s sake, Wang Tao decided to drive the car himself this time.
“Let’s go and meet up with them.”
…
“Boss, could something have happened to Wang Tao and the others?”
Outside the abandoned car motel, several survivors gathered around Yang Changhong, with one of them raising the concern.
Although their first meeting with Wang Tao and his group wasn’t exactly pleasant, everyone had let bygones be bygones. After all, Wang Tao was generous and strong, and their presence greatly improved the safety of the convoy. Therefore, they were hopeful that nothing bad had happened to Wang Tao’s group.
Yang Changhong had been full of confidence in Wang Tao, but at this point, she began to waver because it was already the third day.
She had told Wang Tao that she would wait for three days, and Wang Tao had said he would be back soon. But he hadn’t returned yet.
If he didn’t come back today, then no matter whether Wang Tao would return or not, they would have to set off first thing in the morning. After all, she had given her word in front of her subordinates and needed to maintain her authority without breaking her promise.
“Static noise…”
Yang Changhong took out the walkie-talkie and tried contacting Wang Tao. But there was just static noise, indicating they were out of range.
“They are very strong; they should be fine.”
That was all Yang Changhong could say to her subordinates.
She was puzzled too. The reservoir she had told them about had only a few Level 2 Zombies, and she felt those zombies weren’t the strongest of their kind.
Considering that both Xu Xiaojun and Wang Tao were Second-order Superpower Owners, there shouldn’t have been a big problem. If they couldn’t beat them, they should at least be able to run… Could it be that the zombies got stronger, or were there some unexpected incidents?
Yang Changhong was somewhat worried. After all, it was rare to come across two Second-order Superpower Owners…
“Static noise… Yang Changhong, this is Wang Tao… Static noise…”
At that moment, Wang Tao’s voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.
Yang Changhong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly pressed the talk button.
“I am Yang Changhong! I am Yang Changhong! We are still at the previous location, where are you guys? Is everyone okay?”
After a while, Wang Tao’s voice came through again.
“We’re fine, but we have a small favor to ask of you…”
Wang Tao’s tone was somewhat embarrassed.
“What favor? I’ll help if I can!”
Yang Changhong didn’t promise right away. If Wang Tao and the others were cornered by strong zombies, bringing her group might just be delivering themselves to the enemy…
“Ahem, we ran out of fuel for the car. Could you send us a can of fuel? You can name your price.”
“…”
Yang Changhong’s mouth opened slightly. She had anticipated various difficulties Wang Tao might face, but running out of fuel wasn’t one of them. If she remembered correctly, not only had the car been recently fueled up, but there was also a spare can of fuel on it.
But Yang Changhong didn’t ask any further. She promptly responded:
“Okay, tell me the exact location, and I’ll have someone deliver the fuel. We’ll talk about the rest when you get back.”
“Great. We are at… thanks!”
“No need to be polite.”
An hour later, two cars arrived consecutively at the abandoned car motel.
Yang Changhong, who was sitting on the hood of one of the cars, immediately got down when she saw the incoming cars.
Sometime later, Wang Tao and two others got out of the car.
Seeing the three unharmed people, Yang Changhong’s face broke into a smile as she gave Wang Tao a high-five.
“Seeing you all safe, I can breathe easy.”
“Haha, I told you, there wouldn’t be any accident.”
“So, shall we have lunch now and then set off?”
“Sure!”
It didn’t take long for the eight cars to leave the abandoned car motel, moving towards the direction of Zijing City.
