Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1350 - 559 Another Master Sido

After several replays of the recording, Wang Tao confirmed he hadn’t misheard. Among those chaotic voices, someone indeed said that Zhao Yue, the top expert from Silver Serpent Base, had just returned today.

Wang Tao originally planned to visit Silver Serpent Base after some time, but he changed his mind— he would go tomorrow.

"Do you need me to find out more?"

Gu Yun asked softly beside him.

"No need, don’t alert them."

Wang Tao shook his head.

Although he was powerful, that didn’t mean he would be careless.

It was still unclear what Zhao Yue’s specific abilities were, but from various signs, he was at least a Sixth Rank Awakened. It was even possible that he was one of those Seventh Level "Gods" summoned here!

Therefore, for safety reasons, Wang Tao didn’t plan to inquire about Zhao Yue yet. He also had the Fifth Legion keep his whereabouts confidential— when Silver Serpent Base inquired about Wang Tao, the Fifth Legion said that Wang Tao had left Changhe Base last month and that they also didn’t know his current location.

When the Silver Serpent Base said that Wang Tao was heading their way, the personnel of the Fifth Legion even cooperatively expressed their shock.

They were all old foxes, obviously qualified in their acting skills.

Afterward, the Fifth Legion asked Silver Serpent Base many questions, and their answers were basically similar to what Wang Tao had said. They naturally asked many questions too. The Fifth Legion provided much more detailed information than Wang Tao did, and from time to time, exclamations could be heard coming from the other end of the line.

Both were large-scale survivor bases, but Changhe Base was much stronger than Silver Serpent Base. Especially when they heard that there was a barrier that could block wind and snow, allowing people inside the base to move freely, the envy was palpable even through the telephone line.

Silver Serpent Base did not hide their desire to visit Changhe Base at all, but unfortunately, the weather outside was too harsh, combined with various dangers in the wilderness, making long-distance travel impossible.

Silver Serpent Base expressed that they would send people to Changhe Base for exchange once the snow stopped.

"It would be great if we could integrate the people from Silver Serpent Base..."

Gu Yun muttered quietly to Wang Tao.

"You wish."

Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

Silver Serpent Base had nearly four hundred thousand people. Although Changhe Base could accommodate them, the Golden Eagle’s capability was limited; it couldn’t transport so many people, only land travel was possible. Thinking of relocating so many people by land to Changhe Base was like a fool’s dream.

Not to mention, the high-ranking officials at Silver Serpent Base would definitely not want to leave. They enjoyed a high status in Silver Serpent Base, but it would be a different story in Changhe Base. They would lose both their power and status. Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.

Even if they were willing, and the snow had stopped, and they had the capability for such a level of relocation, having so many people out in the open would surely attract a large number of zombies and monsters. By then, facing an endless zombie tide, even a large number of people wouldn’t be able to withstand...

So, Gu Yun was just kidding himself.

"Ah... I know it’s almost impossible, but thinking about how many people still live in dire circumstances, it just makes me feel bad!"

Gu Yun sighed.

If these people could come to Changhe Base, the development of Changhe Base would receive a substantial upgrade!

People weren’t worth much in the apocalypse, but at the same time, they were valuable. It largely depended on the environment. For Changhe Base now, humans were a precious resource.

As for the worry that those people might have developed some bad habits from staying in chaotic places, that wasn’t really a concern. The environment could change everything, and the laws at Changhe Base were quite strict...

Suddenly, Wang Tao said:

"However, that being said, if Zhao Yue truly harbors unspeakable motives towards Silver Serpent Base, then Ge Fuxing and others can basically be considered as good as dead, offerings hardly escape their fate of being sacrificed. The high-ranking officials at Silver Serpent Base might get caught all at once, leaving the base headless and plunged into confusion... perhaps you can prepare ahead of time to take charge of the work at Silver Serpent Base..."

"...That makes sense!"

Although they couldn’t bring the people from Silver Serpent Base here, being able to indirectly control Silver Serpent Base was also possible.

Even if Wang Tao guessed wrong, making extra preparations wouldn’t hurt.

Gu Yun immediately got busy; if things were as Wang Tao speculated, then he would have to send people to take over Silver Serpent Base. Such a good base couldn’t always remain in disarray.

...

The next day.

Wang Tao left Changhe Base early in the morning aboard the Golden Eagle.

Besides Jiang Shixue and Lightning, the two small ferrets, Wang Tao also brought along Lan Yulian.

Lan Yulian was originally outside, but Wang Tao had brought her back the previous night.

There might be a major battle, and without knowing the specific abilities of the opponent, it was appropriate to make extra preparations. With Lan Yulian, a Level 5 "nurse," Wang Tao’s combat ability would greatly increase.

"Although there might be a big fight, I’m somehow kind of looking forward to it..."

On the back of the Golden Eagle, Lan Yulian leaned into Wang Tao’s arms and spoke.

Wang Tao gently stroked her long hair and grinned.

"Maybe it’s because you are fighting alongside me?"

"Now that you mention it... it really seems to be true!"

Lan Yulian realized.

Ever since Wang Tao’s abilities had improved, it seemed she wasn’t needed anymore. Although it was a good thing, proving that Wang Tao was getting stronger, she felt somewhat lost. Now that she was together with Wang Tao again, the feeling of fighting side-by-side returned.
