74: S-level Healing Talent
"What... what kind of Talent is this!"
Mo Baizhi clutched her head in agony, a sudden fear rising in her heart. She felt her mind was like a piece of paper set ablaze.
She wanted to run, but the intense burning in her mind made her feel as if she had lost control of her body. She collapsed to the ground, her face contorted in extreme pain.
"Please... spare me..."
Black and red flames burned her spirit, while golden-red flames consumed her flesh.
However, her flesh regenerated in a bizarre way, continuously growing like a tumor, repairing her body.
Tang Ping's gaze was solemn. No wonder this woman said she couldn't even kill herself.
But it was clear that Mo Baizhi couldn't fight against Tang Ping.
She died, this future Poison Empress, the terrifying Poison Empress whose name struck fear, turned to ashes.
Mingling with the sand and wind.
Only a shelter item was left behind. Tang Ping picked it up and put it into his pocket.
Although this Poison Empress had extraordinary potential and was a very capable person, even ranking among the top Heavenly King and Heavenly Empress-level powerhouses.
However, Tang Ping had no intention of taking her as a subordinate.
This woman was a poisoned dagger; handy for killing others, and just as handy for killing herself. No one knew if she would strike at him.
After all, this woman even dared to poison the child in her womb, poisoning it for seven years and refining it into something neither human nor ghost.
Tang Ping looked up and met the gaze of the two people upstairs. In an instant, a fiery red lotus bloomed in their eyes.
"Ah ah ah ah!" Boss Hao clutched his head in terror, trying to escape, but after only two steps back, he fell to the ground, the light in his eyes dimming, and then he died. As for Four-Eyes next to him, he died instantly.
"You two go to Building 7 and search. I'll go up and collect the shelter items."
"Okay." Wu Zhenhai felt a chill down his spine. He seemed to have underestimated his Uncle Xiao Tang.
He was indeed worthy of being his uncle.
Tang Ping went upstairs. The two people he had just killed were on the tenth floor. After entering the room, he saw the two bodies on the balcony. He searched them and only found a shelter item on the strong man's corpse.
Adding the Poison Empress's, both shelter items had surprisingly good characteristics. The strong man's was a B-Rank characteristic - Super Long Health Bar. The Shelter's health bar was much longer than other Shelters, and the health bar could also act on the person bound to the Shelter, providing healing and health-locking effects.
As for the future Poison Empress's Shelter, it had an S-Rank characteristic - Five Poisons Nest, which could cultivate various strange poisons and raise Gu.
Seeing 'raising Gu,' Tang Ping's heart skipped a beat. He felt that the child in the Poison Empress's belly might have been cultivated through the Shelter's Gu-raising ability.
"These two Shelters are very precious. It would be a pity to sell them." Tang Ping had no intention of selling them and kept them for himself.
Shelters with high-level characteristics were, without exception, priceless. Because Shelters had growth potential, every Shelter with a high-level characteristic was an invaluable treasure.
"I'm really short on shelter fragments right now. I must find a way to get some shelter fragments." Tang Ping thought to himself. His own Shelter was already Level 2, but to upgrade it to Level 3, he needed 100 shelter fragments.
He currently had less than ten on him.
Thinking about the items he had, Tang Ping remembered he still had ten bottles of infected serum. It shouldn't be difficult to exchange this for 100 shelter fragments.
Tang Ping thought for a moment and put up one bottle of infected serum and 50 shelter fragments for sale.
This price could be said to be extremely outrageous.
After all, even he himself had only acquired less than 20 shelter fragments so far.
But this infected serum, he wasn't selling it to individuals, but to those bases and official Safe Zones.
The world never lacked powerful people. Even in the apocalypse, they could gather a large amount of resources and quickly improve themselves.
For infected serum, a medicine that could prevent the risk of infection, it was naturally highly sought after.
A message popped up on the information panel.
Wu Zhenhai: "Uncle Xiao Tang, I found Xiao Yue's mark!"
Tang Ping: "Good, I'll be right down."
The three met downstairs. Wu Zhenhai had already found another mark downstairs based on the previous one.
"Uncle Xiao Tang, this way!"
"Let's go, we're catching up." Tang Ping was also eager to fulfill Old Town Mayor's wish... Yuntian Base.
"Great Leader, according to the news, that dungeon is about to open."
"It's finally appeared. Convey my order, gather all Talent Users, and prepare to enter the dungeon!"
The man sitting at the head wore a black overcoat, holding a message scroll in his hand. The message scroll came from three days ago, stolen by his infiltrator in Taohai Base.
"Yes, Great Leader!" The person at the door retreated.
But in the Great Leader's eyes, there was a fervent glow. This dungeon, an experience stone dungeon, contained a large number of treasure chests carrying experience stones. The probability of opening an experience stone was close to fifty percent. As long as he concentrated the treasure chests in his hands, he was confident he could even break through to Level 4!
Half an hour later, several high-ranking officials of Yuntian Base gathered.
"Big Brother, has that girl still not been persuaded?" The Second Leader turned his head to look, realizing he hadn't seen the girl.
That girl possessed an S-Rank healing Talent. If she could be persuaded to join Yuntian Base, it would definitely boost their strength significantly.
"No." The Great Leader's face immediately darkened.
"Hmph, if you ask me, we should use some strong-arm tactics to make her join whether she wants to or not!" The Third Leader said coldly.
The Second Leader shook his head in denial: "She's an S-rank Talent after all. Even our Yuntian Base doesn't have a Talent of that level. The strongest is only Big Brother's A-Rank Talent. What's more, she has an S-Rank healing Talent. Although it's only Level 2, you've seen her healing ability. Even with her heart pierced and two minutes after she died, she could still be saved. So, if you force her now, and she gets injured later and refuses to heal you, what can you do?"
The Third Leader was instantly speechless and snorted, saying nothing more. After all, what the Second Leader said was true.
The Great Leader rubbed his head: "If you ask me, we should let Song Ge take care of her slowly first. As long as Song Ge can win her over, she will obediently do our bidding. Women, after all, are often swayed by sweet words."
Just then, a young man with an extremely handsome face and well-proportioned physique walked in.
"Godfather." The man spoke to the Great Leader.
"Hmm." The Great Leader smiled, "How are things progressing?"
Although this pretty boy only had an E-rank Talent, he had a good face, and women nowadays liked this type. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acknowledged such a person as his godson.
The handsome man smiled: "There has been very good progress. I believe within half a month, I will be able to win her over. By then, she will be completely a part of our Yuntian Base."
The Great Leader nodded in satisfaction: "Good. Now, your responsibility is to coax her well. As long as you make her obedient and willing to contribute to the development of our base, I can promise that in the future, I will definitely collect enough talent upgrade stones for you, and then make you the Second Leader of Yuntian Base!"
A flicker of obscurity flashed in his eyes, clearly not matching his words.
The handsome man's face showed surprise: "Thank you, Godfather, I will definitely work hard!"
"Hmm, there's nothing for you here. You may withdraw for now." The Great Leader nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, Godfather." The handsome man bowed and turned, his lowered head showing gloom and disgust.
"Are you really at ease letting him control that girl?" The Second Leader asked.
"Heh heh, of course, I'm at ease. After all, what kind of waves can an E-rank Talent stir up?"
"Alright, let's continue to arrange the dungeon matters. This dungeon is crucial for whether our Yuntian Base can truly establish itself in the apocalypse!"
