Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1347 - 557: The Number One Expert of the Base_2

Wang Tao knew it wasn’t that they were inactive, but rather that their abilities were limited; they really had no other option.

Thus, compared to other forces, Wang Tao had a higher regard for the military at Silver Serpent Base. Especially since these soldiers were all Level 4, and their internal impurities were at the level of ordinary people, it was unlikely that they had used the Summoning Altar.

Wang Tao would investigate further later on, and if there really were no issues on the military’s side, he felt he might consider supporting them...

The people from Silver Serpent Base were all impatient; upon seeing the opportunity to connect with Changhe Base, they clamored for Lu Ping to start researching right away.

Almost everyone’s face was filled with excitement, except for Lü An’s. Today, he was hosting the Ascension Banquet, and he should have been the protagonist. But now, he had become a supporting character... This annoyed him greatly.

However, seeing the excited looks on everyone else’s faces, he had to suppress his annoyance for the time being. He knew that if he voiced dissent at this moment, he would be the one to suffer. And truthfully, he was also quite curious about Changhe Base.

As for Wang Tao, who had slapped him in the face... There would be other days, and he would find a way to get his revenge!

Lü An planned to wait for their base’s number one fighter to return and see if Wang Tao would clash with him before deciding on his next steps...

"But speaking of which, why is he so strong when we’re both Fifth Order Awakeners? It’s so damn frustrating..."

...

The banquet, which was originally planned to go on until late into the night, ended hastily.

But when these people left, there wasn’t any trace of disappointment on their faces. Instead, they were very excited.

Today was destined to be a sleepless night. If they really could make contact with Changhe Base, then their Silver Serpent Base might just reshuffle the deck!

They needed to seize this opportunity—whether to play the game or be played was a matter of their own strategy!

As they left, many couldn’t help but glance at Wang Tao.

Wang Tao also left but, of course, he wouldn’t stay at the Gale Inn anymore. Ge Fuxing had arranged a very upscale hotel for him, providing him with the unique presidential suite.

"Brother Wang..."

Shen Cuishan followed Wang Tao, along with Jiang Shixue and Lightning, to the hotel, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

She knew Wang Tao had definitely concealed some of his strength, but she hadn’t expected him to be this powerful. It seemed that in the entire Silver Serpent Base, aside from their number one fighter, no one else matched Wang Tao!

When she first met him, it clearly wasn’t a case of zombies simply leaving, as Wang Tao had said, but Wang Tao killing those zombies. With the strength Wang Tao had shown, he could probably deal with a Sixth-Rank Zombie Lord!

Wang Tao had already been her lifesaver, rescuing her twice, and now seeing his immense strength... She felt an incredible pressure in his presence.

"I need to understand more..."

During the banquet, it was Ge Fuxing and the others who introduced Wang Tao, and he couldn’t be sure whether what they said was true or false.

Since Shen Cuishan was also there, she could replay the situation and tell Wang Tao where Ge Fuxing and the others might have exaggerated. Meanwhile, Wang Tao also wanted to ask about the Summoning Altar.

"Okay!"

Shen Cuishan quickly nodded her head.

After some communication, Wang Tao gained a better understanding of Silver Serpent Base.

As for the Summoning Altar, Shen Cuishan was also in the dark.

"Brother Wang, are you saying that Ge Fuxing and the others have Level 5 strength because of the Summoning Altar? But I never saw them in the cave... They have quite distinct features. Even if they disguised themselves, they might not be able to escape my eyes, yet I really have no recollection of them..."

"Then it seems, indeed, there must be a second Summoning Altar..."

Wang Tao stroked his chin and said.

"A second Summoning Altar!"

Shen Cuishan exclaimed in surprise.

She knew that there couldn’t be just one Summoning Altar in the world, but she never expected that the second one would be right within their base.

Now she was aware of the dangers of the Summoning Altar, and as a victim herself, she almost became a sacrifice.

If Ge Fuxing and the others really used the Summoning Altar to boost their strength, then they’re probably already sacrifices, liable to be offered up at any moment.

Although at times, Shen Cuishan felt that these people deserved to die, rationally speaking, they really shouldn’t die, at least not now.

After all, if they were to suddenly drop dead, the entire Silver Serpent Base would definitely descend into chaos!

"Should we... should we tell them?"

Shen Cuishan asked with some concern.

"It’s no use telling them; they are already sacrifices. The Summoning Altar can drain their blood, or their HP, at any time. It’s just a matter of a thought from the owner of the Summoning Altar..."

Wang Tao shook his head.

"The owner of the Summoning Altar?"

Shen Cuishan was somewhat bewildered. Such a terrifying thing... could actually be controlled by someone? The thought was extremely frightening!

Wang Tao did not explain too much. He looked at Shen Cuishan and said,

"Tell me about the top fighter from your Silver Serpent Base."

"The top fighter? I haven’t seen him many times and don’t know him well. All I know is that his name is Zhao Yue; he has an average build, an ordinary face, and is very mysterious..."

Shen Cuishan recalled carefully, then detailed all the information she knew.

This universally recognized top fighter of Silver Serpent Base was actually only recognized by some—because many people don’t even know there is such a person. To many ordinary people, the strongest in the Silver Serpent Base is the head of the Public Security Administration. freewēbnoveℓ.com

But in the eyes of the Ability Users and Awakeners, the top fighter is Zhao Yue.

Previously, Silver Serpent Base had held a small-scale martial competition, which only those of a certain strength were qualified to watch. At the time, Shen Cuishan was a Level 3, qualified enough; such an interesting event was naturally not to be missed by her.

This competition was sponsored by the head of the Public Security Administration with a similar purpose to the Ascension Banquet organized by Lü An—it was all about showing off. The head of the Public Security Administration wanted to become the undisputed top person in the Silver Serpent Base!

He felt that in a one-on-one fight, no one else could be his opponent. He could claim that number one spot!

However, he wasn’t that confident either. He was unclear about the hidden strengths of others... so he arranged a small-scale competition, figuring that if things went south, at least he could save some face.

As it turned out, his decision was the right one. Because all the Awakeners were thoroughly crushed! Including the overconfident head of the Public Security Administration.

And the person who crushed them was naturally Zhao Yue.

Shen Cuishan even suspected that Zhao Yue might have already reached Level 5. But Zhao Yue hadn’t said anything and didn’t exude the aura of a Level 5, so others could only guess.

Zhao Yue wasn’t a new face; he had been in Silver Serpent Base for a long time, and many people had some impression of him. Only, he had been low-key before, and no one knew his true strength.

This time, he had gained complete fame, with many people starting to woo him.

However, it wasn’t heard that he joined any faction. He seemed to be a Lone Wanderer.

Since that competition, Zhao Yue appeared less and less often, becoming even more mysterious.

And Ge Fuxing and the others, it was as if they had been struck by something, all began to gradually grow stronger. Level 5 Awakeners also started to emerge.

The head of the Public Security Administration, along with the likes of Ge Fuxing, also became Level 5 Awakeners.

Everyone thought, the head would take back the title of top fighter. So, when people asked him when the second martial competition would be held, he plainly stated there would be no second event.

Obviously, he didn’t think he could beat Zhao Yue.

So, this Zhao Yue was definitely a Level 5 Awakener. Only, he was very mysterious; ordinary people rarely encountered him and didn’t know how strong he truly was.

And Zhao Yue providing Ge Fuxing and the others the means to enhance their strength—aside from Ge Fuxing and his group—was clearly something Shen Cuishan was unaware of.

"Zhao Yue..."

Wang Tao felt it was necessary to wait for his return. Once he was back, the situation would become clear at a glance.
