Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1376 - 570: Mutant Wild Geese Flock

Silver Serpent Base has been taken over by the military?

Looking at these soldiers, the public felt somewhat incredulous.

If you asked them who they would prefer to lead Silver Serpent Base, they’d undoubtedly choose the military without hesitation, given that the military’s reputation was quite good, both before and after the apocalypse. Unfortunately, the military force at Milky Way Base was too weak to control the Ability Users.

Now, after a night of chaos and waking up to soldiers standing guard on the streets, they were, of course, a bit incredulous. Some even wondered if the soldiers had defected...

But just then, a vehicle equipped with loudspeakers arrived, with messages being played on loop through the loudspeaker.

"Silver Serpent Base has now officially been taken over by the military... All citizens, please stay in your homes and do not go out... If there are any casualties, please report them in a timely manner..."

"Silver Serpent Base has now officially been taken over by the military..."

"..."

It really has been taken over by the military!

All the citizens who heard this news became excited; this was definitely the best possible outcome for them.

They didn’t know how the military managed to take control of the entire base, but as long as the result was good, that was what mattered.

However, on second thought, it is the apocalypse and anything can happen. No one can guarantee that the base will improve after the military takeover. So it all depends on how the military will act moving forward.

Silver Serpent Base had always been quite chaotic, so the people’s expectations weren’t really high. They just hoped for things to be a bit better than before and that they would be able to survive; that would be sufficient.

...

On the other side.

Wang Tao and Lu Ping had just about finished their discussion. As for the contents of the discussion, it naturally revolved around the leadership of Silver Serpent Base—The truth is, there wasn’t much to discuss; Lu Ping quickly expressed his willingness to align with the Six Major Legions, it all depended on whether they could secure some benefits for Silver Serpent Base or not.

Ordinary people might not be aware of the strength of these Six Major Legions, but as military personnel, Lu Ping was well aware. According to the pre-apocalyptic ranks, they were his superiors. Thus, following the Six Major Legions did not put any mental strain on them.

Lu Ping and the others also understood very well that the control of Silver Serpent Base the previous night was mainly thanks to the efforts of Wang Tao and the others. Without these experts, their small group wouldn’t have been able to take over Silver Serpent Base.

Even if Wang Tao demanded nothing and just left with his people, leaving Silver Serpent Base to them, they probably still wouldn’t be able to manage it properly; it might even revert to its original chaos in the end.

Therefore, the saying still stands: the military force at Silver Serpent Base is too weak, while there are too many Ability Users and Awakeners; they can’t manage Silver Serpent Base with its population of over three hundred thousand.

So no matter how you look at it, siding with Changhe Base is the most appropriate choice.

Even Lu Ping was afraid they wouldn’t want him, considering the significant distance.

Fortunately, Wang Tao, representing Changhe Base, agreed.

"From now on, you’ll be the Seventh Legion, congratulations Commander Lu."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Lu Ping promptly expressed his excitement and gratitude.

He originally just wanted to follow Changhe Base, but he never anticipated gaining the title of the Seventh Legion of Changhe Base!

Changhe Base really treated them as their own!

After all, theoretically, these major legions were of equal status.

Although in reality, whoever was stronger would hold more sway, but at least they were given enough face, and future issues regarding various treatments and provisions would be handled according to the standards of a legion... Anyway, the outcome was far better than what Lu Ping had anticipated.

"Haha, we’re all one family, no need for formalities."

Wang Tao laughed, patting Lu Ping’s shoulder.

The military at Silver Serpent Base has now become the Seventh Legion of Changhe Base; naturally, Silver Serpent Base had become a subsidiary base to Changhe Base.

Although there was some distance between the two bases, it posed no major issue. At least now they could make contact, and they could transport personnel and supplies via the Golden Eagle.

When the heavy snow stops, or after they have tamed other Flying Beasts, then the exchange between the two bases will become even more frequent. This is beneficial for both sides.

Cheng Yiyi and the others temporarily stayed at Silver Serpent Base to help Lu Ping maintain order and deal with some follow-up issues.

Wang Tao planned to take Lu Ping and the others to Changhe Base now to meet with the military there and bring back some supplies, such as various weapons. After all, Silver Serpent Base was not short of food for the time being, what it lacked was high-end combat power and weapons.

"Go to Changhe Base? Now?"

Lu Ping was suddenly excited but also puzzled.

He hadn’t seen the Golden Eagle till now, and he thought Wang Tao flew by himself, as Wang Tao had wings. But Wang Tao also brought so many people with him... Could it be an airplane? But he didn’t see any airplane either...

Wang Tao didn’t answer directly, only whistling towards the sky.

Moments later, a huge shadow appeared overhead.

"God! A mutant beast! Such a large-bodied mutant beast!"

Lu Ping and the others widened their eyes; they had seen mutant flying beasts before, but they had never seen a beast of this size, nor one that could obey human commands.

No wonder Wang Tao could move quickly between the two bases; it turned out to be because of this giant Golden Eagle!

The Golden Eagle might not be an airplane, but it’s more useful than an airplane, as airplanes can’t fly high without crashing. It might not even be able to fly up to Silver Serpent Base.

"Is it... Fifth-Order Power?"
