Chapter 557 Specialties of the Two Bases
After hearing Wang Tao explain his origin and purpose, everyone present became excited instantly.
"I didn't expect that there would be a super-large survivor base no less big than ours!"
"If we can establish a connection with this base, it will be great for both parties!"
"It would be better if we could exchange materials! But it doesn't feel realistic. After all, it's too far away..."
"..."
Everyone started discussing.
Ge Fuxing was very excited to introduce the Silver Snake Base to Wang Tao.
First of all, the name. The name Silver Snake Base is indeed related to those big trees. Those tall mutated pine trees are called Silver Snake trees by them.
The reason why it is called the Silver Snake Tree is not only because the leaves of the big tree look like snakes, but also because there is a small silver snake on the big tree.
This small silver snake is very poisonous. If one is bitten by it, humans below the Awakened level will be unlucky and may be poisoned to death! Even if an awakened person is bitten, it will be very uncomfortable.
However, silver snakes are very rare and not very aggressive. They are very good at hiding and will not attack humans unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, if you encounter a silver snake outside, just don't provoke it, as they will avoid humans.
However, the meat of the silver snake is very delicious, and it is the most delicious food in the silver snake base, bar none!
Small in quantity, good at hiding, highly toxic, and delicious meat... Add these keywords together, and you can know how precious silver snake meat is. Silver snake meat is no longer a simple food, but a luxury product. Most people like it. You may never be able to eat it in your lifetime.
But the name of Silver Snake has been spread among the people, and many people also know that Silver Snake meat is delicious and is the biggest feature of Silver Snake Base... Therefore, this base is called Silver Snake Base.
Lu An also prepared silver snake meat for this dinner, but the quantity was not large. After all, catching this thing is too dangerous. Even a professional snake catching team often gets injured or even loses its members. So only Wang Tao's table had silver snake meat.
Wang Tao tasted it and found that it was really delicious. To put it bluntly, this should be the most delicious food Wang Tao has ever eaten in the last days.
And the most important thing is that after Wang Tao finished eating, he found that his upper limit of blood volume had increased a bit.
Although it only increased by a few dozen points, this is the upper limit of blood volume after all!
After the blood volume reaches 100,000, you can no longer increase it by killing zombies and monsters, and you can only think of other methods. Wang Tao has seen many things that can increase the upper limit of blood volume, but this is the first time he has seen something carnivorous.
This silver snake is indeed a good thing. You can get some silver snakes to take back later...
After mentioning the name, the next step is the origin of Silver Snake Base.
This place was originally a military base in the mountains, where some field training and other things were carried out on a daily basis - it was a military base again! But it's normal. After all, there are many weapons and equipment in the military base and the defense is strong. If there is a choice, humans will definitely choose this kind of place to establish a survivor base.
At that time, the trees here had not mutated, and it was not called Silver Snake Base. And it is led by the military. Although life is difficult, due to the geographical location, there are no zombies or monsters here, and everything is developing steadily.
Later, someone with super powers appeared.
As his strength increases, his desires begin to expand.
The appearance of superpowers caused some disturbances in the peaceful military base.
After all, this military base is not large in scale, does not have heavy firepower, and there are not many soldiers who survive. The most important thing is that there is no Hope Research Institute here. Except for some inhibitors, there is no power armor or crystal energy weapons...
Therefore, the military's combat effectiveness is not too strong, and those superpowers have formed an alliance of superpowers... Without a numerical advantage, the military is somewhat unable to suppress them.
The alliance of superpowers and the military began to clash. Slowly, the number of conflicts increased. In the last and largest conflict, the military took the initiative to admit defeat and handed over control of the base.
The military leaders know very well that continuing to fight will only lead to losses for both sides. The potential of psychics is obvious to all. Even if they survive this time, they may not be able to do so next time. So it is better to quit early and save strength. As long as you give them time, they can also have many superpowers.
The Alliance of Superpowers was not willing to fight to the death with the military, and they were very happy to see the military admit defeat. As a result, the two sides reached an armistice agreement.
But there are many people in the Alliance of Superpowers. When they were seizing power from the military, they did become entangled. But now that the power has been taken back, it is time to divide the cake. They all want to share more of it themselves. , but the cake is only so big, and no one of them is convinced by the other... So, the battle begins again. And this time it’s a civil war between the Alliance of Superpowers.
At this moment, the pine trees on the mountain suddenly began to mutate, becoming tall, mighty, and extremely hard.
They thought they could use these mutated pine trees to strengthen their base or even expand it. So, while they were fighting among themselves, they were developing their base... which was a strange thing.
The chaotic situation of Silver Snake Base started from that time and has remained until now.
After that, a sudden blizzard suddenly froze many people to death. They also suspended their internal fighting. After the early difficulties were overcome and the base stabilized, they began to fight among themselves again.
Don’t think that Lu An’s dinner party today invited all the famous people in the entire Silver Snake Base, and it seemed like a happy occasion. But in fact, this group of people may be toasting on the surface, but they may be thinking about how to kill their opponents in their hearts.
Ge Fuxing said that the Silver Snake Base is indeed a bit chaotic now, but he will soon end the chaos and send people to visit the Changhe Base directly.
Wang Tao didn’t believe a word of his words. If he had this ability, he would have unified the Silver Snake Base long ago. Why wait until now?
However, Wang Tao suddenly thought of a problem. According to his previous experience, there are many zombies in the city, which is very dangerous, but this does not mean that the wild is safe. There are many mutant monsters in the wild, and their strength may be stronger than the zombies of the same period. It is really hard to say whether it is safe in the wild or in the city...
But looking at the situation here at the Silver Snake Base, they have not encountered too many external threats except for internal fighting... This is different from the situation Wang Tao encountered.
Wang Tao asked Ge Fuxing whether their Silver Snake Base has encountered powerful mutant monsters since its establishment.
Ge Fuxing said no, except for a few times when someone deliberately led the corpse group here and wanted to die together, but they were blocked by the silver snake tree, there was no external threat.
This is also one of the reasons why they have been fighting internally until now. If there is really a strong external enemy, they might unite...
After learning about the development of the Silver Snake Base, Ge Fuxing talked about the current situation of the Silver Snake Base.
He said a lot, and Wang Tao summarized it. Simply put, although the Silver Snake Base is now in chaos, the people here are all talents. There are talents in all aspects. If a communication channel is established with the Changhe Base, it will be of great help to both sides.
Wang Tao did not comment. There must be help, but no one can say whether it is as big as he said. After all, the distance between the two bases is too far. It would be better if the distance was closer, or there were a large number of flying mutant beasts...
Ge Fuxing focused on introducing the specialties of the Silver Snake Base. If the two bases can exchange materials in the future, these specialties will definitely be an important part.
Silver snake is naturally one of them. Wang Tao has tasted it and it is really good.
Then there are these mutant silver snake trees. Although they are wood, their hardness is comparable to that of steel. Whether they are used as building materials or for making weapons, armor, vehicles, etc., they are all very good.
Then there are tree worms and mutant wild rice.
Only a small number of silver snake trees will grow tree worms, but if a tree has tree worms, then the number of tree worms in this tree will not be small. However, the silver snake tree is too hard, and it is very troublesome to destroy it. It is impossible to check one by one. The people in the Food Bureau have a way to identify which trees have tree worms. They even built their work places in places where there are a lot of tree worms, and tree worms are produced continuously.
It can be said that the Food Bureau has mastered most of the tree worms in the Silver Snake Base.
Wang Tao has also seen tree worms on the dining table. This is a palm-sized, white and fat worm that looks like it is rich in protein. But Wang Tao has no appetite, especially since Lu An also prepared tree worm sashimi, which made Wang Tao speechless.
But then again, this thing is indeed high-quality food, and we can bring some back to the base for them to study.
As for the mutant wild rice, Wang Tao has also seen it on the dining table. This thing is very big, and a grain of rice is as big as a small bowl, but the taste... I can only say that it won't kill people.
There is an area in the Silver Snake Base full of mutant wild rice, which was first discovered and occupied by people from the Food Bureau. At that time, these wild rices were not edible, and they just thought about whether they could study it. They didn't expect that the wild rice could mutate to the current situation, which was considered lucky.
These mutant wild rices not only have large rice grains and high yields, but also have a short maturity period. They can be harvested in one month. After harvesting, as long as its roots are retained, it can continue to grow without seeds! The most important thing is that it is not afraid of severe cold, and it can still thrive in such a heavy snow!
Although this sounds unreasonable, this is the end of the world, and unreasonableness is a kind of rationality.
So wild rice is unpalatable, as long as you don't starve to death.
However, these mutant wild rices are not without disadvantages-it cannot be transplanted.
The Grain Bureau had transplanted wild rice before, but all of them died. They can only survive in the place where wild rice originally grew... They studied it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out why. Although there are already a lot of wild rice, as a Gan countryman, farming is a gene engraved in the bones. If the Silver Snake Base is not full of mutant wild rice, it will be a pity...
Wang Tao is also very interested in this mutant wild rice. He plans to take some back and see if the Hope Institute can gain something.
In addition to silver snakes, silver snake trees, tree worms and mutant wild rice, Ge Fuxing also secretly told Wang Tao that they have another specialty here-under the premise of paying a certain price, they can get a boost in strength!
This matter is not a secret among their senior staff. If he doesn't say it, others will definitely say it, so Ge Fuxing simply took the initiative to tell Wang Tao and show his sincerity.
Wang Tao was not surprised by this. After all, there were too many impurities in their bodies, just like those who used the summoning altar before.
Wang Tao now wants to know whether the summoning altar they use is the one that Wang Tao took away, or there is another summoning altar.
Then Wang Tao suddenly said:
"Sacrifice other people to gain strength?"
"Well……"
Ge Fuxing was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wang Tao to already know.
He just said it, others would definitely say it, and I don’t know who revealed it.
"Well, to be precise, let those criminals show their final value..."
Ge Fuxing gave Wang Tao a brief explanation.
After listening to this, Wang Tao could only say that they had some conscience, but not much.
They are different from Shen Cuishan. Shen Cuishan and others buy innocent people to sacrifice, while Ge Fuxing and others buy criminals from the prison of Silver Snake Base to sacrifice.
It sounds like the latter seems to be more humane, but the question is, who knows if any of those criminals were unjustly accused? Faced with this kind of temptation that can enhance strength, human nature really cannot stand the test...
"Mr. Wang, are you interested? If so, I can help you contact the top master of our Silver Snake Base, because this thing that can improve your strength is in his hands. As long as you give him some benefits, he won't If you refuse...I won’t lie to you, I’ll tell you once you try it!”
Ge Fuxing spoke seductively.
Wang Tao was still a little confused at first, why would Ge Fuxing tell such a thing? He was not afraid of robbing it himself? Do you really believe in your own character?
Now Wang Tao understands that the Summoning Altar is not in their hands, but in the hands of the so-called top master of Silver Snake Base!
Then look at Ge Fuxing’s actions just now, it’s very thought-provoking——
If you are a very ambitious person and do not know the true situation of the Summoning Altar, then after learning the news, you will definitely go to this number one master to snatch the Summoning Altar!
Since he is the number one master, he must have two skills, at least better than Ge Fuxing and the others... So, does Ge Fuxing want to reap the benefits?
To take a step back, even if he had no intention of snatching it, the thing was not in Ge Fuxing's hands after all. It didn't matter if he told the news. Anyway, he would not suffer any loss, and he could still sell himself a favor...
As expected, he is the president of the Silver Snake Medical Association. He seems to be very polite, but in fact, he has already calculated it in his heart!
But Wang Tao didn't care about Xiao Jiujiu in Ge Fuxing's heart. He is even more curious about this "number one master" now.
This number one master is so kind to help Ge Fuxing and others improve their strength? Or does he have another purpose?
"Where is the number one master?"
Wang Tao asked.
Hearing this, Ge Fuxing suddenly smiled, and he thought Wang Tao was moved. So he immediately smiled and explained:
"He didn't come today because he has been out for several days. Counting the time, he will be back soon, probably in the next two days. When he comes back, I will introduce him to you. You are all very powerful fifth-level people. Awakened people should have many topics in common..."
"OK."
Wang Tao nodded, then he would wait here for two more days. He must know what is going on with this summoning altar.
"Ahem, I have already talked about a lot of things about our Silver Snake Base. Can Mr. Wang introduce the Changhe Base?"
Ge Fuxing asked with great interest.
"Okay, let's talk about the specialties first. We have a kind of power armor in our base - yes, it's the kind of power armor you understand. After putting it on, even an ordinary person can have the fighting ability of a fourth-order awakened person. force……"
"Damn, that's so awesome!"
Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, especially those who were fourth-level awakened. They worked so hard to awaken, but ordinary people can actually have fourth-level combat power?
"There is also a crystal energy gun that can fire bullets comparable to the strength of the awakened ones..."
Obviously, the technological level of this Silver Snake base is not high. Wang Tao is going to attract them from this aspect...
