NOVEL WEB Chapter 512: Building a Home Inside the Night Demon's Nest_3
Wang Tao stood up and said,
"Ah? Where to?"
Everyone looked confused.
"Off to Changhe Base, of course!"
"But, how do we get there? I'm not doubting your ability, Mr. Wang, but it's over four hundred kilometers away! And we have more than a thousand people; even if there were no dangers like zombies outside, just this terrifying cold could freeze us all to death..."
At this point, Su Jie couldn't help but feel skeptical. Could it be that Wang Tao was a fraud after all?
"Well, more than a thousand people is quite a lot. One trip certainly won't be enough, so we'll have to make several trips."
Wang Tao nodded.
He hadn't known there were this many people here before. If there had been tens of thousands, he might have had to consider other methods. But with only a thousand people, he could definitely transport them using the Golden Eagle. Although it's cold outside, if everyone dresses warmly, it's just a matter of a few hours. No big problem.
"..."
Su Jie felt like she was not on the same wavelength as Wang Tao.
"Oh right, you also have a zombie threat here... Let's take care of that threat first. Otherwise, an accident could be bad. Lead me there."
"You're going to help clear the zombies? Great! Follow me!"
Out of everything Wang Tao had just said, Yao Hai finally understood one thing.
He immediately led Wang Tao and others to a passageway blocked by earthen walls.
The zombies inside could possibly break out in three days. Since Wang Tao was willing to help clear them out, Yao Hai could remove the barrier of earthen walls ahead of schedule.
By the way, he also wanted to assess Wang Tao's strength, and Su Jie along with the others were also curious about it.
To be able to arrive here through snow and ice, alone with a dog, there was no doubt about his strength, but they weren't sure just how strong he was. This was a good opportunity to find out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, get ready. I'm about to start!"
Yao Hai took a deep breath and placed his hands on the earthen wall.
With a rustle—
The earthen walls writhed and began to collapse, sending up clouds of dust.
Moments later, the dark passageway inside was revealed, along with pairs of bloodthirsty eyes.
"Wow... they're Night Demons!"
Previously, Wang Tao had wondered why the zombies in the air-raid shelter were so relentless in trying to get through. Zombies should give up after not hearing sounds or smelling scents, shouldn't they?
Now Wang Tao understood that these were all Night Demons!
That definitely meant there was a Night Demon's Nest here.
And obviously, the Night Demon's Nest was there first, then came Ocean Base. The Night Demon's Nest wasn't that big at the time, hadn't extended to their area yet, and then Yao Hai timely discovered and blocked the passage...
That is to say, Yao Hai built a base inside a Night Demon's Nest?
No wonder Yao Hai said these zombies kept trying to dig through. You built a house inside someone else's home; would you be able to tolerate that?
Especially since Night Demons are smarter than Ordinary Zombies, which they consider food...
Roar—
The Night Demons, having spotted Wang Tao and the others, immediately rushed forward with red eyes.
Yao Hai and the others were getting ready to fight, only to see Wang Tao suddenly produce several black hearts from nowhere, throwing them all out.
Swoosh—
As the hearts hit the ground, they instantly turned into several larger Night Demons!
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
These were all Level 4 Night Demons, facing Wang Tao's Level 5, Type II Night Demons, naturally, they had no chance to fight back.
One particularly fast Night Demon rushed straight towards Wang Tao, but with a swift kick, Wang Tao exploded the Night Demon.
"???"
Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded, their heads filled with question marks.
What in the world?
Wang Tao could actually create zombies that listen to him? Have zombies fight each other?
The strength of these few zombies of Wang Tao's seemed terrifying. Could they be Level 5?
And Wang Tao himself is so strong! He actually kicked one of these zombies to explosion?!
When they had fought these zombies before, it had taken them much effort!
Yao Hai and the others began to wonder if they'd been underground too long and were hallucinating...
"These are all Night Demons, which only act in darkness and are much stronger than Ordinary Zombies, but they fear sunlight and Ultraviolet Light, dying upon exposure. The Night Demons kept attacking because your base was built inside a Night Demon's Nest... All I can say is, it's a miracle you've survived this long. Of course, Yao Hai's earthen walls played an indispensable role."
Wang Tao gave a brief explanation.
"..."
His words were heavy with information, and Yao Hai and the others needed some time to digest it.
While Wang Tao spoke, he also produced many Ultraviolet Strip Lights. He installed these lights at the entrance to prevent any stragglers from rushing through. Then he gave Yao Hai and the others some Ultraviolet illumination flares.
"These are Ultraviolet illumination flares, which can cause some damage to Night Demons and are something they greatly fear. Keep them for self-defense. I'll go check out the Night Demon's Nest. You all be careful."
Having said that, Wang Tao promptly walked into the tunnel with Lightning in tow, strutting confidently.
According to Yao Hai, this air-raid shelter was very large, and Ocean Base only occupied a portion of it. There might even be a Level 5, Lord in there... Wang Tao had come all this way; he couldn't leave empty-handed.
"Mr. Wang, please be careful!"
Su Jie quickly called out.
Yao Hai subconsciously wanted to follow but was pulled back by Su Jie, who gave him a disdainful look and said,
"What for? Clearly Mr. Wang is confident. You want to go be a third wheel?"
"Uh... right, I won't hold him back."
Yao Hai scratched his head, suddenly feeling somewhat unsettled. It was not because of the shock of Wang Tao's strength—those things didn't bother him. It was the realization that if Wang Tao truly was that strong, then what he said might be true? They really might have a chance to go to Changhe Base? Moreover, what Wang Tao just mentioned was that he intended to take all of them to Changhe Base...
"Am I dreaming?"
Su Jie pinched him hard.
"Stop dreaming. Let's secure this place and wait for Mr. Wang to return!"
"...Alright!"
