Doomsday: I can see the health bar and kill monsters to get treasures

The corrosive acid rain continued all night and only began to subside slowly in the early morning of the next day, but it still did not stop.

"Can we continue on our journey today..."

Looking at the acid rain outside, Bai Hao felt a little headache.

He had never seen this kind of corrosive acid rain before. He saw it last night and felt that even armored vehicles could not withstand staying in the rain for a long time. If they went out like this, they didn't know if the convoy could withstand it. But the rain didn't seem to stop for a while. If they didn't leave now, they would waste a lot of time and it would be easy for variables to appear...

Wang Tao thought for a while and said:

"You can go, but you have to find a place to rest in advance."

The corrosive acid rain is not as heavy as last night, so as long as the survivors don't expose themselves to the rain, they can still make their way. But they have to plan where to rest in advance, otherwise it may be troublesome if they can't find a suitable place.

"Okay, let's go! But let me study the specific route first..."

Bai Hao immediately called on everyone to study it together.

Wang Tao flew out directly. He wanted to see if there were any zombies that had evolved to the third level around.

However, because they cleaned it up so thoroughly yesterday, there is no zombie left in the town now, and naturally there are no evolved zombies either.

Wang Tao could only fly a little further away, and then Wang Tao indeed found a third-order zombie! Although they were just ordinary third-order zombies, and there were not many of them, they only appeared sporadically, but this also showed that the corrosive acid rain last night did allow some second-order zombies to evolve to the third order!
The rain is still continuing. When it stops, a large number of level 2 and 3 zombies will probably appear. This will be a new challenge for the surviving humans.

Wang Tao couldn't care less now. It was already good enough that he could take good care of the team. He just wanted to get more third-level basic crystal cores and quickly advance to the fourth level.

After clearing out the zombies around him, Wang Tao came back, after all, he had to continue on his journey.

Bai Hao and others were also ready. After Wang Tao came back, they called on the team to continue moving towards the Wuyang Military Base.

Although corrosive acid rain is not good in many aspects, it is not without advantages. For example, the sound of rain can cover up the sound of the convoy, making it difficult for zombies on the road to find the convoy; rain can also cover up the smell of humans, which will also reduce the probability of being discovered by zombies; and most importantly, since these zombies need to bathe in rain to evolve, any zombies that are caught in the rain will look up at the sky, looking a little dazed.

This also resulted in the convoy's speed not slowing down much even when it was raining, because they rarely encountered zombie harassment on the road.

This is naturally good news for the team. They originally thought that it would take some time to reach Wuyang Military Base, but now it seems that it won’t waste any time, and they may even arrive earlier...

Wang Tao did not expect this situation to happen, so it can be said that it is a blessing in disguise.

However, there were fewer zombies on the road, so Wang Tao had to take the initiative to find zombies. Fortunately, he could fly, and the search range was very large, so he could find a large number of zombies. After being nourished by corrosive acid rain, a considerable number of zombies had evolved, and among these zombies, a small number were third-level zombies!
"Hunting these third-level zombies is much easier than before!"

After hunting down another group of zombies, Wang Tao felt a little emotional.

In the past, in order to hunt down the third-level zombies, he would rush directly to the center of the zombie tide of millions of zombies, which was like dancing on the edge of a knife. But now it is different. Occasionally, he will encounter a group of dozens or hundreds of zombies, which may contain more than ten or twenty third-level zombies. And to wipe out such a group of zombies, it only takes a blink of an eye for Wang Tao. So it is much easier to get the third-level zombies now than before.

Soon, a day passed, and the convoy arrived at another town safely. Wang Tao led his men to quickly clean up the zombies in the town, and then told Ding Yuqin and others that he would go out to hunt zombies at night.

Wang Tao had always been very steady and always left himself enough time to rest. Now he was suddenly ready to work overtime, which meant he was just one step away from promotion!

Ding Yuqin and the others were not stupid either. They quickly thought of this possibility and asked
"Are you going to be promoted soon?"

"Haha, almost there!"

Wang Tao grinned.

It must be said that for him personally, this corrosive acid rain was indeed a great help. Originally, it was quite troublesome for him to collect the third-level basic crystal cores. The third-level was basically in that zombie tide, and there were not many in other places. And the zombie tide was constantly evolving, especially the evolution against him, making it increasingly difficult for him to hunt the third-level zombies. In the end, the risk and benefit were no longer proportional, so he had to give up this method.

And now, after the baptism of corrosive acid rain, many zombie groups have appeared in the third-level zombies! Although the number of third-level elites and lords is not large, most of them are ordinary zombies. But what Wang Tao needs is an ordinary crystal core, and ordinary zombies can explode!

So after a day of hunting today, Wang Tao has accumulated a lot of third-level basic crystal cores. After some fusion, he feels that he is only a little bit away from the fourth level!
Wang Tao didn't want to wait, so he planned to hunt some third-level zombies while the zombies were more active at night. If he was lucky, he might be able to be promoted to the fourth level in the next two days!

Hearing that Wang Tao was about to be promoted to the fourth level, everyone was happy for Wang Tao. However, they also reminded Wang Tao to be more careful and not to be careless at this time.

Wang Tao nodded, said goodbye to everyone, and flew out.

There is a large city not far from this small town. Wang Tao plans to go there to hunt zombies, and he will surely not be disappointed.

After a while, Wang Tao took Taxue to fly over the city. With a casual glance, Wang Tao saw a large number of zombies. These zombies stood stupidly in the rain, enjoying the corrosive acid rain.

Wang Tao ignored the other zombies until he found a third-level zombie, then he rushed over.

"kill!"

……

Big cities are different. Not only are there many ordinary third-level zombies here, there are also third-level elites and lords, and there is more than one lord.

But unfortunately they met Wang Tao. Facing Wang Tao who was like a zombie meat grinder, even several third-level lords attacked at the same time, it was of no avail. They could not do anything to Wang Tao at all, and instead lost their own lives.

Wang Tao didn't stop until the sky turned pale.

"It should be about enough..." Wang Tao looked at the third-order crystal core in the space backpack. After a simple calculation, Wang Tao suddenly showed a bright smile on his face. These crystal cores are enough!

So Wang Tao immediately flew back to the convoy. During the flight, he synthesized all these crystal cores into impurity-free crystal cores. After returning to his room, he immediately took out all the crystal cores and began to fuse them.

After a while, all the crystal cores were fused, and Wang Tao felt that he could be promoted to the fourth level. There were no shackles, and no additional conditions were required. He could be promoted directly!

However, the fourth level is considered an "intermediate level" after all, and it is different from the third level. Wang Tao felt that he should get some sleep when he was promoted, so before the promotion, he called Ding Yuqin and others and explained everything to them.

After everything was explained, Wang Tao lay directly on the bed of his command vehicle and said to himself: promotion.

The moment he was sure, Wang Tao felt sleepy and couldn't even open his eyelids.

"I really need to sleep. I'll probably need to sleep for a few hours. It shouldn't be a big problem..."

Before Wang Tao could finish his thoughts, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Wang Tao awakened in his previous life, he encountered all kinds of bizarre things in his dreams. These things were all related to his awakening ability and could be regarded as a manifestation of his awakening process.

Now, Wang Tao was sleeping very soundly, without even dreaming. When he woke up, it was already noon and only four hours had passed.

"Phew - comfortable, I have never felt so good before! This body is much stronger than the fourth level body in my previous life - huh?"

Wang Tao sat up from the bed, stretched, and observed his body, then suddenly froze.

If I remember correctly, he had six talents before, namely: Lucky Star, Heat Ray, Frozen Breath, Iron Body, Super Perception, and Aerial Flight. These were all exchanged for by him in his previous life with everything he could exchange. And now, after being promoted to the fourth level, Wang Tao found that he had one more talent!
[Talent: Mind Control (Growth)]

[Mind Control (Growth): Manipulate Target]

"A new spiritual talent has been added! It seems to be very awesome!"

This [Mind Control], like Wang Tao’s other talents, has a “growth” note, which means it still has a very high upper limit.

And the introduction is also very simple, just four words - control the target.

It didn't specifically say who the target was, so it seems like it could be controlled by zombies, humans, and even mutant beasts?

Wang Tao subconsciously looked at Taxue who was sleeping not far away. He thought and saw Taxue suddenly stood up and stared at Wang Tao. There was some confusion and fear in its eyes.

"Haha, it can be controlled!"

Wang Tao laughed, then released his control over Taxue and comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just experimenting with the new abilities I just acquired."

After Taxue regained control of itself, it subconsciously moved away from Wang Tao. After all, the feeling of having a very clear mind but a completely out of control body was too weird... However, out of trust in Wang Tao, it quickly jumped onto Wang Tao's shoulder and curiously asked Wang Tao what was going on.

"My ability is to control the target through mental power..."

Wang Tao briefly explained.

Then he asked Taxue to cooperate with him and tested this new ability several more times.

In fact, there are many mental abilities that have the effect of controlling the target. For example, Taxue's own ability [Black Mist of the Mind] can control the target. Another example is Wang Tao's awakening of [Spiritual Development] in his previous life, which can also control the target.

But control and manipulation are different, and there are also differences in high and low, strong and weak.

To put it simply, Wang Tao's current [Mind Control] should be the strongest control ability of the same level that Wang Tao has ever seen in his two lifetimes!
This [Mind Control] can forcibly control the target's thoughts, emotions, and body...

He can make the target remain conscious and watch himself being controlled, just like when he controlled Taxue just now, Taxue's consciousness was very clear but his body was out of control.

It is also possible to control the target without anyone noticing. After the control ends, the target will have no memory of what happened during the period of control.

However, this is not the strongest yet. As Wang Tao's strength increases, this [Mind Control] will become stronger and stronger. In the strongest state, Wang Tao will no longer command the target, but directly change the target's thinking, emotions, will, body... The duration of control will also change from temporary to permanent!

For example, if Wang Tao uses [mind control] to change a person's cognition and make him think that he is a cat, then as long as Wang Tao does not release his control over him, this person will think of himself as a cat for the rest of his life!
For example, if Wang Tao changes a person's mood through [Mind Control] and makes an honest person become extremely irritable, then this person may have conflicts with others everywhere in his life...

When Wang Tao becomes powerful enough to make everyone obey his orders, these people will only think that this is natural and they will not have any thoughts of resistance!
This is the horror of [Mind Control]!
In the previous life, the bishop of the Twilight Church told Wang Tao that he had an ability to control people's minds, which he named "mind control". Those believers were controlled by him in this way. But in fact, he did not control so many people. It was more like brainwashing than control. Through long-term brainwashing, he slowly controlled some people.

But Wang Tao's [Mind Control] talent is different. It doesn't require brainwashing at all, just a thought is enough, which is much stronger than the bishop's. Coupled with the actual control effect, the bishop's "Mind Control" is no match at all.

Another point is that most mental abilities will suffer backlash. If you operate carelessly, you may get hurt. But this [Mind Control] is different. Even if it fails to control the target, it will not have any effect on Wang Tao. At most, it will consume a little mental energy. It is completely different from those mental abilities that can easily turn you into an idiot.

"With this new talent, my combat power has skyrocketed! Besides humans and mutants, I can also control zombies easily. I might be able to form a small zombie swarm by myself! But I still need to test how many zombies I can control..."

Wang Tao prepared to go out and give it a try, and at the same time test his overall strength after being promoted to the fourth level.

He now not only has a new talent, but his overall strength has also been greatly improved!
The most obvious talent that Wang Tao could sense at the moment was the [Steel Body] talent. Just by clenching his fist, he could feel the terrifying explosive power in his body, which gave him the illusion that he could smash the stars with one punch! (End of this chapter)
