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

Chapter 66 Weapons
At night, sporadic footsteps were heard outside Huo Ying's house.

It's a corpse ghost.

Huo Ying looked through the window.

Tonight, the zombies did not besiege Huo Ying's house, but just looked at Huo Ying's house from a distance.

Even when a corpse ghost looked into Huo Ying's eyes, it did not use any magic, but just bared its teeth in protest, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Strange, why is the corpse ghost so obedient today?"

Huo Ying was a little curious and wanted to get closer to the window to see it more clearly.

But as Huo Ying stood up, the zombies that were surrounding Huo Ying's house from a distance retreated. When they saw Huo Ying walking towards the window, they instantly dispersed and disappeared in the black fog.

"Corpse ghost, are you afraid of me?"

Huo Ying was startled. He knew that corpse ghosts were intelligent, but he had never heard of corpse ghosts hiding from humans. Could it be that he had used corpse ghosts to find out Wang Haisheng's address and the corpse ghosts had discovered it? Now that the corpse ghosts knew that he was not afraid of illusions and had weapons like the Yang Blade, they were afraid of him?

Huo Ying was puzzled, but it was extremely quiet tonight and he slept soundly.

The next day, Huo Ying got up and rushed to the school playground with his Yang Dao.

In addition to spontaneous gatherings on the playground after the courier arrived, some individuals would also wait on the playground to make deals. Huo Ying and Zhang Famo and his son had agreed to customize weapons after the riot, and it was unknown what information Zhang Famo and his son would leave on the playground.

When he arrived at the playground, Huo Ying discovered that Zhang Famao and his son were both there, and it was obvious that they were waiting for him on purpose.

Zhang Famao and Zhang Zhanhong were very happy to see Huo Ying coming.

"I was scared to death. We agreed to trade with you after the riot. We came here yesterday, but we didn't see you until the afternoon." Zhang Famo breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Zhanhong was also excited: "You survived, that's great."

Under the wooden helmet, Huo Ying did not exchange pleasantries with Zhang Famo: "I have used the Yang Dao before, but it is not very useful. I am quite strong, and the Yang Dao is too light."

Zhang Famao took a look at Huo Ying's mechanical arm and said, "Sticks, axes, hammers, and shovels are all very heavy. Which one do you want to use?"

Huo Ying recalled the weapons he had seen in his previous life: "How about a mace?"

"The mace is not practical." Before Zhang Famao could speak, Zhang Zhanhong explained: "The mace looks scary, but it is actually not suitable for combat. First of all, the mace nails cannot bear weight. If you want to exert the killing power of weight, the mace nails will definitely be damaged. Secondly, if you are hit by a mace, the blunt force damage is enough to be fatal, and there is no need for the mace nails to trigger penetration."

Zhang Zhanhong obviously knows a lot about cold weapons: "If you like maces, I recommend you forge an octagonal hammer. First of all, the edges on the hammer are not easy to deform, and it can cause penetrating damage like a mace, and it is easier to maintain than a mace nail. Secondly, although the mace is heavy, the weight is not as concentrated as a hammer. If you don't mind the mechanical arm wasting power, you can enlarge the hammer head. In this way, the damage is more likely to exceed that of the mace."

Unable to see Huo Ying's expression, Zhang Zhanhong thought for a moment and continued to recommend: "However, I think you can choose the Mountain Splitting Axe. Yangshi weapons are mainly used to target zombies and occasionally some infected creatures. The Mountain Splitting Axe is enough. The hammer is too heavy, and it is difficult to charge the Doomsday now. Using the hammer consumes too much energy."

"It's okay, I just need a hammer." Huo Ying asked: "My mechanical arm can provide a thousand pounds of assistance, and the heaviest octagonal hammer I can make is several kilograms."

Zhang Zhanhong glanced at Zhang Famao, who nodded and motioned for Zhang Zhanhong to continue explaining: "Normally, a 50-jin hammer is enough in combat. If you are really strong, you can use 80 jin. With the help of the robotic arm, you can use up to 1,080 jin if you are not afraid of wasting electricity."

One thousand and eighty kilograms.

Huo Ying's mouth twitched: "Are you sure how big a hammer like that would be? Can you make it?"

Zhang Zhanhong smiled and said, "If you only care about weight, we can fill the hammer head with lead and cover it with a layer of Yang knife material. The effect is the same and it is easy to make. We just found a warehouse in the town that has metals such as iron and lead."

Lead is heavier than iron, but not as hard as iron. If you want to achieve the highest weight, lead filling is the most economical choice.

Zhang Famao took over the conversation: "The hammer does not require any craftsmanship, it can be filled quickly. In two days, we will trade here at the playground again."

"Thanks to you for trading charcoal with us, we were able to survive when we first arrived. The work of the hammer is not difficult. Just add another 100 kilograms of charcoal."

The deposit plus the balance is a total of 200 kilograms of charcoal.

Huo Ying nodded, which was rare: "I thought you would ask for a lot, but I didn't expect you to be so honest."

Zhang Famao hurriedly shook his head: "If you are honest, you won't survive in the apocalypse. We just don't want to cheat our benefactors."

Zhang Zhanhong couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, you can even use a thousand-jin weapon. How brave must my father be to cheat you."

Zhang Zhanhong frowned as he spoke. His eyes passed Huo Ying and fell behind him: "These two guys are here again. Brother, be careful. We think something is wrong with him."

After saying this, Zhang Famao and his son Zhang Zhanhong left in a hurry.

Huo Ying turned around and saw Hu Caigen leading He Lili to the playground. He Lili stood obediently behind Hu Caigen, but Hu Caigen looked at Huo Ying with provocation.

Hu Caigen is not in right condition.

Huo Ying narrowed his eyes. The last time, Hu Caigen was carrying a gun and going into battle, he still cautiously gave way to him. A man as cautious as him would not easily offend him.

In addition, Hu Caigen's face became darker, his deep eye bags drooped, and his back became more hunched, like a toad.

"Brother, I finally found you. You really came to trade with these two." Hu Caigen walked towards Huo Ying, rubbing his hands excitedly and said, "You really still have charcoal. Exchange some with me. Anything is fine."

Hu Caigen suddenly stopped.

Huo Ying had already drawn out his Yang Dao and pointed it in front of Hu Caigen.

"Brother, I have no ill intentions." Hu Caigen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Huo Ying's blade. His muscles were strengthened after the infection, and he felt that ordinary knives would not hurt him.

The electric current that was invisible to the naked eye produced sparks on the Yang Dao, and the blade that Hu Caigen was holding suddenly turned red.

Hu Caigen was so scared that he quickly let go, but Huo Ying's knife still left a deep scratch on his palm that was visible to the bone.

"You, what are you doing? We are from the same town. I'm looking for you to make a deal but you want to kill each other?"

Sure enough, Hu Caigen provoked some weirdness.

Under the wooden helmet, Huo Ying's eyes were cold. Only when facing weirdness, the effect of Yang Dao would be so obvious. Even when facing infected objects, the lethality of Yang Dao would not be so strong.

Watching Hu Caigen fade away, Huo Ying slowly put away the knife, then changed direction and left the playground.

Not until Huo Ying's figure disappeared did Hu Caigen turn around and look at He Lili pitifully, no longer as proud as before: "I have stopped it, but I can't stop it. Please, take it away..."

He Lili narrowed her eyes and smiled charmingly: "You weren't like this before, weren't you very happy before? Being happy has a price, after all, it's your child."
