NOVEL WEB Chapter 512: Building a Home in the Night Demon's Nest
Seeing Su Jie kneeling and asking for help, Wang Tao was very surprised.
Especially since Su Jie not only knelt down herself but also pulled Yao Hai down with her... This woman was too decisive, without even asking another question.
At this time, Yao Hai was still confused, but he always listened to his girlfriend and did not resist.
As for the surrounding survivors, they were also very perplexed, clearly not understanding why the couple suddenly knelt before a stranger.
"Please stand up and speak."
Hearing Wang Tao speak, Su Jie hurriedly stood up without another word, of course, pulling Yao Hai up as well.
Yao Hai had just realized, so the person before him was from Changhe Base?! No wonder his girlfriend kneeled so quickly to ask for his help in saving Ocean Base. He was preparing his words when Su Jie pulled him up again!
Wait, since they had already kneeled, wouldn't it be better to kneel a little longer to win some sympathy? Why did they stand up again…
Yao Hai felt like a puppet, completely unable to keep up with Su Jie's pace.
"Mr. Wang, please follow me!"
Su Jie uncharacteristically took the lead over Yao Hai, leading Wang Tao and Lightning to the conference room.
On the way to the conference room, she had someone fetch some of the scarce frozen meat from the storage, stating it was for Lightning.
Wang Tao saw that Lightning could eat and didn't refuse their kindness.
Then Su Jie whispered to Yao Hai,
"Gather the top brass of the base."
"Okay!"
Yao Hai nodded immediately.
Actually, there was no need to look specifically, what with everything that happened today, they were already nearby. With a glance from Yao Hai, they immediately came to the conference room.
"Mr. Wang, these are all the high-ranking officials of our base..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Wang from Changhe Base!"
Su Jie took the initiative to introduce both parties.
"Hello."
Wang Tao nodded his head.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
The others couldn't believe it, this was a person from Changhe Base! No wonder Yao Hai and Su Jie kneeled and begged him for help...
As for whether Wang Tao was truly from there, if it had been Yao Hai who said it, they might have doubted and verified it, but since it was Su Jie who said it, they saw no need to doubt.
Su Jie was the smartest person in their base, having proven her judgments to be almost always correct through many facts. Everyone truly respected Yao Hai and his wife.
Su Jie asked Wang Tao to sit in the seat that originally belonged to Yao Hai, she and Yao Hai sitting next to Wang Tao, while others orderly took their seats, looking as if they were at a meeting led by their superior. Yao Hai and Su Jie didn't show the slightest air of rulers.
"Aren't you afraid I might deceive you?"
Wang Tao looked at Su Jie with interest.
His "deceive" naturally referred to him being a person from Changhe Base. Su Jie hadn't done anything to verify this, simply taking it for granted.
"Afraid! But we're more afraid of Ocean Base being destroyed... We have no choice but to trust you!"
Su Jie's face looked somewhat sad, others also sighed quietly.
"Then tell me what's going on here."
Wang Tao nodded; Su Jie was a smart person and saved him a lot of talking.
Su Jie signaled Yao Hai with her eyes, and Yao Hai immediately said,
"Yes! We currently have 1037 survivors here..."
Although sometimes slow, when it came to the knowledge of Ocean Base, even Su Jie couldn't match him.
So, he began detailing the situation of Ocean Base clearly.
Suddenly, Wang Tao interrupted him.
"Are you saying that there are still zombies inside this base?"
Wang Tao's tone was very surprised.
It was the first time he had seen a base with a large number of living zombies.
"Yes, they've all been blocked by me, but it's just a temporary solution..."
Yao Hai scratched his head and explained.
Wang Tao looked at Yao Hai's attributes.
[HP: 100000/100000]
[Mana: 40000/40000]
[Level: Level 4]
[Internal Impurity: 15%]
[Awakening: Rock and Soil Manipulation]
[Rock and Soil Manipulation: Can generate and control rocks and soil to a certain extent]
To Wang Tao, his strength was mediocre, but this awakening was interesting.
Combining what he had just said, he could create many rock and soil walls in the air-raid shelter, blocking the zombies inside... It just wasn't clear how large these rock and soil walls could be. If they could be made on a large scale, wouldn't that make him an excellent builder? A natural talent for construction?
Seeing this awakening, Wang Tao didn't think about its combat power but whether it could be used in construction. After all, no matter how strong the awakening, it wasn't as strong as he was.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will have to fight these zombies again in a few days... Besides the zombies, we also have the threat of food shortage, which is the most lethal, as we can block the zombies, but without food, we can only wait for death… Oh right, there's also Mammoth Base, they want to coerce us into joining them…"
This time Wang Tao didn't say anything, just listened until Yao Hai finished.
"So Rift is indeed a base... However, some of their people clearly don't fit in at Changhe Base..."
This is an apocalypse; everyone has their own way of surviving, Wang Tao didn't have the ability to change that; what he could do was only to keep Changhe Base uncontaminated.
After Yao Hai finished his introduction, he looked at Wang Tao worriedly.
In his view, the problems currently faced by Ocean Base were severe, and he wasn't sure if Wang Tao could help solve them. Even if Wang Tao could solve just one, he would be immensely grateful.
As for taking everyone from Ocean Base to Changhe Base... it wasn't a matter of daring to think about it, but rather he had never considered it.
