Chapter 299: Chapter 151 Fusion of the New Superpower 3, Li Qiuyu quickly took out a bottle of inhibitor and jogged over to hand it to the other person., “Thank you!”, The other person quickly chugged it down., “Ugh… Ah…”, Then he clenched his fists tightly, veins throbbing angrily all over his body, and let out a painful roar from his mouth., Li Qiuyu, seeing the person in pain, was very afraid, worried that he would turn into a zombie., Seeing this, Ding Yuqin explained to Li Qiuyu:, Qiu Yu, don’t worry, this is normal. Once he gets through this, he’ll be fine!, They are all real men; they can get through this!”, “Hmm…”, Li Qiuyu didn’t dare to look any longer, and quickly took out several more bottles of inhibitor to deliver to others in need., Suddenly, Li Qiuyu’s body stiffened-a feeling of being watched lingered in her heart., She looked around nervously, but all she saw were survivors, zombies, and green smoke in the distance; she didn’t discover anything., Li Qiuyu shivered subconsciously and hurriedly continued to distribute the inhibitor., Outside Shuize Base, atop a certain building, a figure with red-glowing eyes was watching Li Qiuyu intently., Ascending felt amazing., After falling asleep, Wang Tao was in a strange state where “he was conscious and could feel himself, but not the outside world.”, It was somewhat like a lucid dream—he knew he was dreaming, but he couldn’t wake up or change the dream., Wang Tao could clearly sense his body getting stronger bit by bit, a sensation that was very distinct and exhilarating! It even made Wang Tao think he never wanted to wake up., Of course, Wang Tao knew this was impossible. He only had 24 hours, and he was bound to wake up when time was up-Wang Tao had discovered that the longer he slept during ascension, the greater the increase in his strength!, And the length of sleep was related to how many ascension crystal cores he merged, or rather, how many Level 2 Abilities he had!, During Level 2 Ascension, having one Level 2 Ability meant six hours of sleep, which equated to six hours of strengthening time., Since all four of Wang Tao’s abilities were Level 2, he would sleep for 24 hours! Only then did he understand that it wasn’t absolutely necessary to raise all abilities to Level 2 before formally ascending., As for why he had to merge four ascension crystal cores… he didn’t know, he could only say that he indeed was different from others., However, this was good because ascending to Level 2 after merging four ascension crystal cores was the way to maximize strength improvement!, If he hurried to advance after merging only one ascension crystal core, it would be somewhat of a waste…, Bored, Wang Tao started studying his attribute panel., Then he discovered he could now control the special energy in the grey bar. He had 5160 special energy, and all his abilities were Level 2 Abilities. Thus, whether he extracted or fused, each time would consume 5000 energy. There was no need to think about it; it must be fusion., Extraction meant he could switch to a new ability, and his old ability could be used by others., But fusion meant he could merge two abilities into one! It was as if he could learn an additional ability!, However, fusion had a success rate, and Wang Tao needed to see if there was a chance for fusion. If there really was no chance, then he wouldn’t go through with it., As Wang Tao thought about fusion, a table appeared in front of him in an instant., The table listed the several fusion methods for his four abilities, and each method’s probability of success., Shockwave Precision Shooting (10%), Shockwave Toughness (10%), Shockwave Self-healing (15%), Precision Shooting Toughness (40%), Precision Shooting Self-healing (55%), Toughness Self-healing (95%), Seeing this information, Wang Tao immediately excluded the first five options; after all, the maximum chance was only 55%, not worth the risk., The success rate for fusing “Toughness” with “Self-healing” was as high as 95%!, Wang Tao felt his luck was usually good, so this probability shouldn’t lead to failure, right?, After pondering for a moment, Wang Tao decided to fuse these two abilities!, As for which was the primary and which was the secondary, Wang Tao placed “Self-healing” in the primary position and “Toughness” in the secondary., If the fusion failed, the primary ability would remain unchanged, but the secondary ability would disappear. Self-healing was a rarer ability, and he had collected it with difficulty, so it was safer to put it in the primary position., At the moment of deciding to fuse, Wang Tao saw his special energy in the grey bar decrease by a full 5000, leaving just 160., The icon for his Toughness ability entered the Self-healing ability icon, and after a flash of colorful light, a new prompt appeared., Fusion successful, acquired new superpower: Level 2 Tier 1-Barrier, Barrier: During duration, it can enhance defense and slowly recover certain injuries (side effect: none), Seeing this new superpower “Barrier,” Wang Tao was pleasantly surprised., He had indeed managed to combine the two abilities into one!, He now had only three abilities left, which meant he could fuse an additional new ability!, Just as Wang Tao was thinking about which new ability to fuse, he seemed to slowly begin to sense some movement from the outside world., “I’m waking up!”, At a certain moment., Wang Tao suddenly opened his eyes., Then he realized something was pressing on his face, partially obstructing his vision., Wang Tao touched his face., “A shattered gas mask?”, He hurriedly sat up, finding that he was not in his villa room but in the comprehensive building., The room was in ruins, all glass items including the windows had shattered, as if there had been a severe explosion., “Something’s happened!”, Wang Tao first checked his attributes, which showed no negative states, and then he opened the door to the room. Just as he was about to listen outside, he heard a sudden “thud,” as if something heavy had hit the ground., His second-order superpower owner’s intuition sensed that a very powerful Level 2 zombie had appeared outside!, Wang Tao quickly went downstairs and kicked open the front door with one foot., Bang-
