Chapter 224 Honesty and Trustworthiness
"He agreed."
When Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue came back, Lan Yulian said these four words to him without thinking.
"What?"
Wang Tao was a little confused.
Lan Yulian took a deep breath, her face a little excited and a little serious.
"The general agreed to give up the Redbud base as a reward for saving them!"
"Uh, so fast?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
He thought it would take a few more days, but he didn't expect the general to give up so quickly?
"Through his words, I feel that he is not only afraid of death, but also afraid that he will not be able to keep up with the progress of promotion..."
Lan Yulian explained.
When the general contacted her, he had been inquiring about the third-level superpower user. Finally, he directly asked Lan Yulian how many third-level superpowers there were.
Lan Yulian thought that Lu Yingfeng hadn't woken up yet, so she said there were more than three people.
The general asked when these third-level superpowers were promoted, and Lan Yulian said that they had been promoted in the past two days.
Therefore, the general, who was still hesitant at first, immediately agreed to give up the base in exchange for their rescue.
As a leader, Lan Yulian can probably understand the general's thoughts.
To put it simply, when the general saw that so many people had risen to the third level in a short period of time, but he was trapped, he became anxious!
From the end of the world to the present, the general has always been in the first echelon and has never been left behind. But now, what if we fall behind? No, not what if, but we have already fallen behind!
Everyone else has reached level three, not one or two, but three or more level three! But he is still on the second level!
It's like a math class when you were a student - when you look down to pick up the pen you dropped in class, and when you look up again, you can't understand what the teacher is saying. And if you don’t understand this lesson, you may never be able to keep up with the teacher’s progress in the future!
As the saying goes, one step behind, every step behind!
This is unacceptable to the general.
Not only the general, but also the prison chief and Kong Xiu could not accept this.
Especially Kong Xiu, he may not be the strongest among the three, but his level is at the peak of the second level. All four powers are +10, and he only needs to fuse and promote the crystal core to advance to the third level!
But he has fused three white third-level promotion crystal cores, but they all failed!
Although he also knew that the success rate of the white crystal core was very low, these three consecutive kneelings still gave him a heavy blow.
As a result, he failed, but others succeeded! This made him a little panicked.
If it drags on any longer, even if they are successfully rescued, their strength will lag behind others, which is obviously not possible! No one wants to live in someone else's shadow all the time.
The same goes for Prison Head. He also secretly fused the white promotion crystal core, but failed. Now that he learned from the general that there were at least three third-level superpowers on Lan Yulian's side, he was no longer calm. He has to get out, he has to advance to the third level!
So there was the matter of the general giving up the base.
Once the base is gone, it can be rebuilt or even taken back. But if a person cannot keep up with the team, he may be stepped on by others for the rest of his life!
"That's it..."
Wang Tao nodded.
Lan Yulian's analysis was reasonable.
"Then...do you want to save me now?"
Lan Yulian asked.
This is different from the previous plan.
"Of course we have to save them. We are honest and trustworthy people. Since he is willing to take out the things, we must keep our promise. But we must get the base first. As for how to save them, we have to study it carefully..."
Wang Tao summoned everyone to prepare for a meeting to study.
It happened to be night now, and Lu Yingfeng woke up.
"Leader! Wang Tao!"
After Lu Yingfeng woke up, she immediately greeted Lan Yulian and Wang Tao.
Wang Tao looked at her attributes.
[HP: 30000/30000]
[Blue amount: 13600/13600]
[Level: Level 3]
[Hidden attribute: Hate evil as much as hatred]
[Impurities in the body: 12%]
"good!"
Wang Tao nodded.
There is nothing wrong with this attribute, almost the same as Nie Siyan. But she is definitely much stronger than Nie Siyan.
"Now we have three level three superpowers!"
Lan Yulian clenched her fists excitedly.
After several people congratulated Lu Yingfeng, they began to discuss saving people together.
In the end, Wang Tao decided to look for the lord-level zombies near the diving hall, that is, the mother zombies. If there is one, find a way to kill it. If not - it can't be! Wang Tao firmly believes in his judgment.
Without killing this zombie, there is no way to save people. After all, no one knows what this zombie is capable of. If something unexpected happens while rescuing people, we will be in big trouble.
In addition, everyone’s strength must be improved first. Ensure that everyone can respond well when encountering some emergencies.
Therefore, in the next few days, we will search for the mother body and lord zombies, and kill other zombies to increase our strength.
the next day.
Everyone gathered on the rooftop of the building.
After the car was repaired yesterday, the wounded returned to the base.
But some remained.
Including Lan Yulian's 8 subordinates, Nie Siyan's 5 subordinates, and 6 people from two other small forces.
The two small forces only sent the wounded back, and their leaders each stayed with two people, which was a bit beyond Wang Tao's expectations. It can only be said that the leaders of these two small forces are very far-sighted.
It is indeed dangerous to choose to stay at this time, but this can be regarded as half one of our own... and Wang Tao will never treat his own people badly.
Everyone stood in a row. There was only one person at the front of the crowd, and it was Wang Tao.
Everyone looked at Wang Tao with excitement. After experiencing these things, everyone already knew that the apparent leader of this team was Lan Yulian, but the actual leader was Wang Tao.
But no one objected, including the eight confidants led by Lan Yulian.
Let’s not talk about how strong Wang Tao is, but the fact that the three third-level superpowers who suddenly appeared in the team are all related to Wang Tao is enough to make everyone awe Wang Tao!
It looked like this group of people were still in high spirits even though they were still more or less injured. Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction.
If you want to rescue everyone in the diving hall, it will definitely not be possible to rely on just a few of them. But with these people involved, the success rate is much higher.
And should I say it, it was Lan Yulian who looked the most eye-catching.
Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng plus 8 subordinates, a total of 10 people, all with good figures and long legs. Go to that station and look heroic.
Wang Tao came to these people and then looked at Lan Yulian.
Lan Yulian seemed to know what Wang Tao meant. She came to Wang Tao and whispered:
"Don't worry, these are my sisters, absolutely reliable. They are one of the few people I trust in the club. They have saved me many times before..."
"Um."
Wang Tao nodded.
Then he pointed to the neatly arranged second-order iron tree armor and second-order bone hand crossbows and crossbow arrows on the side:
"Each of you will receive a set of armor, a crossbow and 100 crossbow arrows."
"yes!"
The girls said yes excitedly, and a few of the bold ones even gave Wang Tao a wink.
Wang Tao's expression did not change. After all, he had seen many beauties and had a certain immunity.
Then Wang Tao came to Nie Siyan.
Nie Siyan led five subordinates, namely Zhu Han and the four people with powers who could release the sleeping mist.
"You also go, each of you will receive a set of armor, a crossbow and 100 crossbow arrows."
"yes!"
Zhu Han immediately led the four of them over.
Then Wang Tao looked at the other six people from the two other small forces.
"Your equipment is over there. Each person also receives a set of armor, a crossbow and 100 crossbow arrows."
Wang Tao pointed to another pile of armor and crossbow arrows. They were all first-order ones.
"yes!"
Several people could clearly see that their equipment was different from other people's equipment, and they were probably inferior equipment. But they were still full of joy and had no complaints.
After all, their relationship with Wang Tao is still a bit unfamiliar, so it is normal to treat them differently. And these equipment are much better than their own equipment! They are already very satisfied with the equipment.
As for Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng, and Nie Siyan, they were naturally wearing level 3 iron tree armor and holding level 3 bone hand crossbows.
After taking some time, the men were all dressed. Wang Tao was very satisfied when he saw this group of people wearing full body armor, holding various melee weapons in their hands, and with bone hand crossbows and crossbow arrows hanging on their waists.
Although Wang Tao has the ability to put all of them into third-level equipment, since people have different relationships and status, they definitely cannot wear the same equipment. Hierarchy is a must, and it can also give them an upward motivation.
And even if it was first-level armor, it was much better than the original equipment they had.
Of course, these equipment are not given to them for free. From now on, all the crystal cores of the zombies they hunt belong to Wang Tao!
"Now divided into three teams..."
Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were in a team with her men; Nie Siyan and her men were in a team with the two small forces; Wang Tao himself and Jiang Shixue were in a team.
The mission of their two teams is to hunt zombies in an organized manner to improve their strength. After all, many people's blood volume has not reached the upper limit of 29999. By the way, I can earn some crystal cores for Wang Tao.
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were looking to see if they could find any trace of the mother zombie.
"start to act!"
"yes!"
Wang Tao waved, and everyone immediately went downstairs in an orderly manner and headed towards the diving hall.
In the building, the three rescued female survivors cuddled together. They looked at this group of fully armored figures with envy in their eyes. They all thought about how great it would be if they could become one of them...
Wang Tao told them not to run around, otherwise they would be in danger, but no one would save them. The three people nodded quickly to express their understanding.
Then Wang Tao asked Nie Siyan to go to the diving hall.
We need to figure out the base first, including how to capture the base, who is holding the self-destruct remote control, etc. Then tell them about the rescue plan here and ask them to cooperate in the future.
"good!"
Nie Siyan nodded.
Everyone started to act separately.
Wang Tao searched all day yesterday and found no trace of the mother zombie. But he didn't give up. He felt that there would definitely be maternal zombies.
But unfortunately, I wasted another day today and found nothing.
"Is it possible that the mother body is hiding in the middle of the zombie group... But it doesn't feel like it. These zombies are always moving, and none of the zombies are fixed together... Maybe the mother body is hiding in some building and never comes out. ?”
Wang Tao felt that he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction.
He thought that the mother zombie would also be attracted by the survivors in the diving hall.
But he thought of the green-eyed zombie before. It stayed in the basement and didn't go out. It wasn't that it didn't want to go out, but it was stuck in the basement and couldn't get out... Maybe this mother zombie is also in this situation.
Wang Tao plans to stop paying attention to these zombies tomorrow, but search the buildings more.
But today is not a harvest. He killed some third-level elite zombies and got a lot of crystal cores.
Not only him, but others also got a lot of crystal cores. After changing a set of equipment, the efficiency of hunting zombies has been significantly improved.
And Nie Siyan got a lot of crystal cores from the diving hall!
"Brother Wang, this is given by the general."
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows. It seems that this general really wants to get out quickly.
"He said that he has no crystal cores in his hand, and asked us to rescue them as soon as possible... As for how to transfer the base, he also said..."
After Nie Siyan's explanation, Wang Tao suddenly realized.
It is true that there are many bombs installed in the base, and the remote control is in the hands of a comrade-in-arms of the general who has a life-and-death friendship.
Since the general appeared in front of the public, he has always been alone. Even if he has established a force, he has not been seen to have a particularly good relationship with anyone, and he seems very lonely. I didn't expect that he actually has a comrade-in-arms who has a life-and-death friendship... It's really cunning!
There is a secret code between the general and this comrade-in-arms. Whether the two meet or not, as long as they can match, they can take the remote control.
If you want to take down the Bauhinia base, you must first deal with this comrade-in-arms.
But... who will deal with this comrade-in-arms is a problem.
After all, this is just one-sided words of the general. What if the slogan he said is wrong, leading to being attacked or even ambushed when he is matching the slogan?
Or more seriously, after matching the slogan, this comrade-in-arms directly pressed the remote control and detonated the bomb?
It's hard to say.
Therefore, matching slogans with this comrade-in-arms is a very dangerous move.
Wang Tao called Lan Yulian and several others over. Before talking about this matter, he first talked about the ownership of the base.
"I think Lan Yulian is very suitable, what do you think?"
Wang Tao smiled at everyone.
"Ah?"
Everyone was stunned.
They all thought that Wang Tao wanted to be the leader of this Bauhinia base, but they didn't expect Wang Tao to recommend it to Lan Yulian!
"You, you don't want this leader?"
Lan Yulian asked in surprise.
Wang Tao has worked so hard for so long, why don't you come to be the leader? She had always thought that Wang Tao wanted to be the leader. She was also convinced by Wang Tao, but Wang Tao's words disrupted her plan...
"I don't want it."
Wang Tao shook his head.
This base is indeed good, but it is actually a semi-finished base that has not been fully built. Although the generals and others have tried to improve it, after all, there are no professional talents and equipment, and it is not well improved.
And Wang Tao wants to go to the military base. He may leave in a few days, so it is useless for him to have this leader.
Of course, not being the leader does not mean not getting benefits. At least Wang Tao has a share of the crystal core in the base.
As for the candidates for the leader, there are currently two, Nie Siyan and Lan Yulian.
Wang Tao felt that Nie Siyan's ability was much worse than Lan Yulian, so he wanted her to be the leader.
"Then Siyan..."
Lan Yulian glanced at Nie Siyan again.
She didn't know the specific relationship between Nie Siyan and Wang Tao, but it was obvious that Nie Siyan was closer to Wang Tao than she was.
"She is not the material."
Wang Tao directly rejected it for Nie Siyan.
Nie Siyan was a little depressed when she heard this.
Although she also knew that her ability to manage the base was definitely not as good as Lan Yulian. After all, when Lan Yulian took over the club, the club was just a small force created by a few young ladies, but under her leadership, it gradually became one of the four major forces, and this strength was obvious to all. But Wang Tao said it so bluntly... It hurts people!
Lan Yulian saw that Wang Tao didn't seem to be joking, and then looked at Lu Yingfeng's encouraging eyes beside her, and she gritted her teeth.
"Okay! Since you don't want this base, then I want it!"
Being the leader of this base certainly has many benefits, but there are also a lot of pressures. But she is not afraid, she thinks she can do it!
"Very good!"
Wang Tao smiled and nodded.
"Then let's talk about the debt issue. Don't forget to pay your debts after you become the leader of the base."
"..."
Lan Yulian's face suddenly turned bitter.
It is estimated that at least half of the benefits of taking over this base will be divided by Wang Tao!
It's not that she is reluctant, after all, this was promised before. She just thinks life is difficult...
She has to manage the base well in the future and earn back these crystal cores!
After confirming the candidate, Wang Tao talked about the matter of the general's comrade.
"Who will get the remote control?"
"I will!"
Lan Yulian spoke immediately.
Since she is going to become the new leader of the Bauhinia Base, she has no choice but to do this.
"I'll go."
Lu Yingfeng said at this time.
After all, Lan Yulian didn't have strong fighting ability, and she was afraid that Lan Yulian would encounter an accident and she wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Lan Yulian shook her head and said:
"No. This is my base, I must go! As the new leader, I must set an example. If I don't dare to go, how will others see me?"
This is just one of the reasons she said. Another reason is that she and Lu Yingfeng seem to be superiors and subordinates, but they actually have a good relationship, like sisters. Lu Yingfeng is afraid that something will happen to her, and she is also afraid that something will happen to Lu Yingfeng.
Wang Tao saw that both of them wanted to go, so he said:
"How about this, you two go together, one in the light and one in the dark. So that you can take care of each other."
Lu Yingfeng is now a third-level superpower. With her strength, she can probably kill people in the current Bauhinia base.
"...That's fine."
The two girls looked at each other and nodded.
That's it.
They plan to set off tomorrow morning to get this thing done early to avoid complications.
...
In the evening.
Wang Tao piled up all the crystal cores he got today, and after selecting them, he grinned.
He finally found the crystal core that suits his synthesis!
