Wang Tao notified Li Qiuyu through the walkie-talkie that he and Han Rui were heading back. After all, having stayed at Li Qiuyu’s place for a few days, it was only right to say goodbye before leaving.
“Be careful on the road…”
After ending the call, Han Rui helplessly shook her head.
“What a stubborn woman indeed…”
If Li Qiuyu had come back to the base with her, it would have been good. But staying here, she would either end up eaten by zombies or starve to death… Thinking of such a beautiful woman perishing so tragically, Han Rui felt sorry for her.
Wang Tao did not say anything. He did not like to meddle in other people’s business, but if Li Qiuyu were to die, that would indeed be a shame, considering she was also many people’s goddess.
When they returned to Shuize Base, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon.
Wang Tao looked at the date and suddenly realized that they had been outside for a week.
“You go rest first; I’ll go to a meeting.”
“Okay.”
Wang Tao did not even have time to change his clothes before he arrived, fully armed, at the top floor of the comprehensive building.
He was the last to arrive; the other committee members were already present.
After a week without seeing them, he could feel that something was different about them compared to before.
Especially Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, and Feng Ming’an—each of them had more than 1000 HP!
Indeed, it takes external stimulation for everyone to feel more motivated to become stronger.
And they had followed Wang Tao’s advice to first kill ordinary zombies. Otherwise, if they relied solely on killing elite zombies, except for Xiang Hongbin, the others would not have reached 1000 HP so quickly.
“Wang Tao, how did your mission go?”
Wei Zhenguo asked with a smile.
“Not bad!”
Wang Tao pulled out a bag filled with Zombie Cores.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, but they did not rush to open it. Instead, they looked at Wei Zhenguo.
Wei Zhenguo’s expression turned solemn instantly.
“According to the intel from our undercover agents, that underground mall is Shao Yong’s Survivor Base. And the two Hunter Teams from our base have been captured by Shao Yong! However, the specifics are unknown, and we don’t know if there have been any deaths yet. We only know that those people are locked up, and our people can’t get close…”
Wei Zhenguo briefly explained the situation.
“What do you suggest? Attack directly?”
Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.
“No, we have to consider the hunters. If we attack directly, they will definitely be killed…”
Ren Jie said loudly.
The presence of hostages made them hesitant to act rashly.
After all, he had to consider the sentiments of the others in the base; if people saw that their own were captured and the base did nothing to rescue them, it could lead to a loss of morale and support…
“Let’s just get ready for battle for now. Since they haven’t killed our people outright and have kept them, it means they are probably interested in negotiating. Let’s see what they have to say, then figure out our strategy,”
Wei Zhenguo was also somewhat helpless.
These people were strange; one would have thought after capturing them, they would try to intimidate Shuize Base or negotiate. Yet a week had passed with no movement from them, leaving everyone in the dark about their intentions…
Without knowing the adversary’s thoughts, there was no way to formulate a targeted tactic, so all they could do was prepare to be ready for battle at any time.
“Alright, let’s put the Hunter Team issue aside for now; it’ll get handled eventually! Now let’s talk about the Zombie Cores!”
Xiang Hongbin also took out a bag, opened it, and revealed various colored Cores inside, although most were white.
“Hey? You’ve also had a pretty good haul!”
Wang Tao said, somewhat surprised.
“That I did!” Xiang Hongbin gave a proud laugh before adding, “But this is not just mine; it’s the result of Lu Gang and I working together.”
“That’s still very good,”
Feng Ming’an said with a smile as he too took out a bag.
This bag had fewer Cores, but they were more colorful.
Seeing this, Xiang Hongbin, who had been rather pleased with himself, suddenly had his expression darken.
The Cores Feng Ming’an had obtained were clearly of higher quality than his!
Then they all looked to Wang Tao.
When Wang Tao opened his bag, revealing numerous Cores of various rich colors, everyone’s eyes widened.
“Damn! Did you raid an elite zombie’s nest? Not only are the numbers impressive, but the quality is amazing too?”
Xiang Hongbin was slightly unsettled.
“Haha, just lucky!”
Wang Tao did not explain much.
After all, he and Han Rui had been out for a week. With his combat power, acquiring these Cores was not at all difficult. Plus, there were some he had not taken out yet.
“Wang Tao, you choose first; you’re our top combat power,”
Wei Zhenguo looked at Wang Tao.
“Sure!”
Wang Tao did not stand on ceremony. After looking at the Cores in the two bags, he immediately picked out all the shockwave crystal cores and toughness crystal cores.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want others, but he had no use for them. Self-healing and Precision Shooting, he had seen none. It probably wasn’t because they were deliberately kept from him, as among these people, only Feng Ming’an was an Ability User until now; the others were still ordinary.
“These are enough for me.”
Wang Tao took a total of six crystal cores, four shockwave and two toughness.
“Fine by us,”
Everyone agreed.
They let Feng Ming’an choose next, and he took away all the Slime Spitter Crystal Cores..
