The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 62 Usage
Huo Zhaohui shook his head and snorted disdainfully.

"If you ask me, this guy is dressed horribly, but at heart he's just a country bumpkin with no sense of style."

"First, he actually removed the right arm of the armor to make a civilian robotic arm. It can be seen that his armor looks good, but it is not even as good as the level of civilian technology. He is just trying to scare the ignorant villagers in the town."

"Secondly, we just arrived in Ailing Town and were able to find a lot of charcoal in the Civic Center, so it's not surprising that this guy has some charcoal."

"Third, in the apocalypse, even a fool can know the value of charcoal. How would you choose between charcoal that can withstand the darkness and a robotic arm that runs out of power after a few uses? This guy would rather give up charcoal and choose a robotic arm that looks good but is useless. This is enough to prove that he has no sense of security and wants to quickly improve his strength."

"No matter how low-key a Level 3 infected person is, he will be out of reach of ordinary people. If he has seen a Level 3 infected person, will he think the mechanical arm is very strong? If a Level 3 infected person has a good relationship with him, protects him, and gives him charcoal, will he feel so insecure?"

Xiao Huo Huo and Huo Zhenni nodded. Huo Zhaohui's analysis made sense.

"I finally understand why the organization allowed a researcher who can't fight to come along." Xiao Huo Huo nodded: "You can analyze so much from just a few details. With you here, it should be much easier to identify the third-level infected people."

Huo Zhaohui was very pleased with the compliment: "I am just an assistant. Whether the mission can be completed depends on you two." While being modest, Huo Zhaohui looked in the direction where Huo Ying disappeared: "I am very curious now. When we complete the mission and take the third-level infected person back to XN City, will this guy regret losing the opportunity to make us owe him a favor in order to save the power of a broken mechanical arm?"

Xiao Huo Huo shrugged. He could feel Huo Chaohui's arrogance as a staff member. He was even polite to him only because of his strength as a level three infected person. Huo Chaohui actually looked down on him and thought that he was just lucky to have evolved into a level three infected person.

But Xiao Huo Huo didn't care. This was the end of the world, and luck was the most important thing. Even if one was smart and willing to study hard to enter a research institute, he would not be as useful as a level three infected person.

Little Huo Huo looked at Huo Ying from a distance, feeling a little sad. This wooden man was also very unlucky and had offended the arrogant Huo Zhaohui. When the mission was completed, the research institute would probably take a group of villagers back to the city, mainly to inquire about the town's past and piece together the living environment of the third-level infected people for transformation and guidance. At that time, Huo Ying would definitely not be on the list and would have to continue to stay in the town and bear the dangers of the town with a smaller population.

Huo Ying didn't know that he had offended someone. He came to the area pointed out by Wang Haisheng and felt a headache looking at the house after house.

Unlike where Huo Ying lives, the houses here are not big, and the distance between each room is very close, more like an apartment area.

After breaking into several houses, they were all empty and no one lived in them. Huo Ying realized that if he continued to search like this, he might not be able to find Wang Haisheng even after several days.

After thinking for a while, Huo Ying stood in the middle of the road, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Wang Haisheng, where do you live!"

"I'm here!" "This on the left!"

"Look here!" "Behind you!"

Suddenly, several responses were heard in the apartment area, some in front, some in the back. They were all Wang Haisheng's voice, and each voice came from a dark room where no sunlight could reach.

Huo Ying curled up the corner of his mouth, chose the nearest one and walked over.

"Wang Haisheng, is that you?" Huo Ying stood in front of the door, motionless, with some doubt in his voice.

"It's me, come quickly, I've been waiting for you." In the room, the corpse ghost imitated Wang Haisheng, looking a little impatient.

"That's not right!" Huo Ying deliberately hesitated at the door of the house, not wanting to step into the darkness: "Your previous house was..."

Huo Ying did not continue.

"Well, my previous house was at the innermost part and was bigger than this one, but there was a riot and the big house was not safe, so I ran to this small house. Come in quickly!" The corpse ghost responded subconsciously.

Huo Ying smiled. The corpse ghosts were very good at imitating. He was betting that these corpse ghosts might have seen Wang Haisheng who lived nearby. Last time Zhang Yuqi drove away in a pickup truck, the corpse ghosts could imitate the sound of the pickup truck. Huo Ying speculated that the corpse ghosts also knew what Wang Haisheng's house looked like, so they deliberately lured the corpse ghosts to describe it.

At the innermost part of the street, it is larger than the apartment.

Well, the information is not enough, I need to keep asking.

Huo Ying drew out his Yang Dao: "Okay, you are indeed Wang Haisheng, I will go in now."

"Come on, come on, I've prepared some delicious food, come quickly and eat together!" The corpse ghost's voice was impatient. He didn't expect that Huo Ying would fall into the trap so easily.

The next second, Huo Ying stepped into the shadows and pushed open the door with a smile on his face.

The corpse ghost also grinned and transformed into its original appearance, then pounced towards Huo Ying ferociously.

Soon, the corpse ghost could no longer laugh. Even in the shadows, its strength, its claws and its illusions were useless to Huo Ying.

The Yang Blade flashed, the corpse ghost was split into two, and the Wood Release appeared instantly, sealing the gray shadow that had no time to escape. Because only one gray shadow was sealed, the Wood Release finally transformed into a wooden box the size of a water cup.

"Very good. There are few zombies, so the boxes we need are also small."

Huo Ying put away the wooden box and walked back to the middle of the street: "Wang Haisheng, where are you!"

"I'm here!" "Look here!" "Behind you!"

Huo Ying listened carefully and chose the one whose voice most resembled Wang Haisheng's and went over to find him.

"That's not right. Didn't you live in the innermost room before? It's a very big house with something at the door..." Huo Ying stood at the dividing line between shadow and sunlight, hesitating whether to step over.

"Yes, yes, yes." The zombies in the house nodded hurriedly: "In the innermost part, the house is very big, and there is a fence around the door. Didn't the zombies riot yesterday? I thought the fence was too obvious and might be targeted by the zombies, so I changed it to the small house over here."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Then I'll go in." Huo Ying smiled. Wang Haisheng's house was almost put together.

"Come quickly, come quickly, the door is not locked!" The corpse ghost inside looked delighted. He didn't expect that a living person would come to his door on his own initiative.

Huo Ying stepped into the shadows and soon came out with a small wooden box.

In order to prevent incomplete information, Huo Ying stood on the street again: "Little cuties, which one of you is Wang Haisheng!"

"Me!" "Look here, look here!"

Hearing the response, Huo Ying nodded with satisfaction and checked door to door until there was no more reply. There were already four more wooden boxes in Huo Ying's wooden armor.

At the very back, there is a big house with a fence.

Huo Ying came to the real home of Wang Haisheng. The door was closed and the room was eerily quiet.
