Chapter 623: An Exchange

The city hall of the Red Maple Base is, as Xiang Bo said, a huge mushroom, and a very beautiful red mushroom.

"This house is so beautiful! It feels like being in a fairy tale world..."

The eyes of Ding Yuqin and the other girls shone a little.

"really."

Wang Tao nodded.

Hearing the compliments from Wang Tao and his entourage, Xiang Bo suddenly grinned, and then invited everyone to the city hall. Someone had already prepared hot tea in advance.

"Welcome you all to our Red Maple Base again. We have prepared a welcome dinner for you. We hope you won't find it objectionable. In addition, the awakened ones in our base were very touched when they heard that people from other bases were arriving. If they are interested, I would like to communicate with you. If you don’t mind, I will invite them over at the dinner. Of course, if you don’t mind, forget it..."

Xiang Bo politely respected Wang Tao's opinion.

"Can."

Wang Tao also wanted to see what the overall level of this Hongfeng base was like. It may not be very intuitive from other aspects, but from the perspective of high-level combat power, it is still very direct and very meaningful.

"Thank you very much!"

Seeing that Wang Tao did not refuse, Xiang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would have been embarrassed if he was rejected. Hearing that Wang Tao was very powerful and could kill a fifth-level lord instantly, he would definitely not dare to neglect him.

Xiang Bo was somewhat happy and took Wang Tao to chat again.

In fact, what he was interested in was not entirely Wang Tao's strength. He was more interested in Wang Tao's base.

Although the city hall has been promoting that their Red Maple Base is the only human gathering place left in the world, and in fact they have not found any other survivor bases, this seems to be the truth.

However, some people still feel that the Red Maple Base has survived to this day. Although the process cannot be replicated, it is difficult to guarantee that similar things will not happen in other places. They just did not see it.

Xiang Bo also has this idea. He thinks there is a high probability that there will be survivor bases in other places.

But this is just a guess after all, and there is no way to confirm it. Anyway, judging from the activity radius of the survivors at the Red Maple Base, no other survivor bases were found.

And now, with the arrival of Wang Tao, and telling the people of the Fiery Gang that the place where he is located is also a large base... the "lie" that the Red Maple Base is the last base in the world is naturally broken.

Xiang Bo was very curious about this base. He wanted to know how the survivors there survived until now. This may have some reference significance for their red maple base.

"I am very curious about Mr. Wang's base. I wonder if Mr. Wang can introduce it?"

Xiang Bo also asked straight to the point.

"Where I am is Changhe Base..."

Just as Wang Tao stood up, he was interrupted by Xiang Bo.

"Changhe Base? Changhe...could it be the 'Changhe' in Changhe City, Xizhou Province?"

Seeing Xiang Bo's shocked eyes, Wang Tao was also a little surprised.

"Oh? Mayor Xiang also knows about Changhe City? That's the place."

Changhe City is not big, it is a small and remote place with little reputation in the country. Unless they are from this province, people from other provinces generally don’t know. Xiang Bo obviously knew about Changhe City.

Hearing Wang Tao's doubts, Xiang Bo nodded bitterly and said:

"My wife is from Changhe City. When the end of the world came, she just returned to Changhe City..."

"...If you can provide some specific information, I may be able to help you look for it at Changhe Base."

"Thank you, but no need. Because she called me that morning, and before the phone was hung up, she had already..."

Xiang Bo looked a little sad.

"Condolences."

Wang Tao shook his head.

This kind of thing is too common in the last days. He has heard many similar things, but every time he hears it, he sighs in his heart.

After all, it is so despairing to watch or hear the death of a loved one with your own eyes but to be unable to do anything about it.

"Well, instead of talking about these sad things, please Mr. Wang talk about the Changhe Base."

"Changhe Base is a large survivor base with a population of 500,000, and there is also a sub-base called Silver Snake Base. The combined population of the main base and the sub-base totals 900,000..."

"hiss--"

Xiang Bo and other Hongfeng base people subconsciously took a breath when they heard that the Changhe base had a population of 500,000 people, and the sub-base had a population of 900,000.

Although the Red Maple Base has a population of 800,000, the Red Maple Base has been able to reach this point because of many coincidences and luck factors. If there was less luck, the Red Maple Base would not be what it is today.

So Xiang Bo and the others were still surprised when they heard that there was a survivor base similar to the Red Maple Base. Just like Wang Tao was surprised when he first heard about the Hongfeng base with a population of 800,000.

"Then how did you survive until now? Did you find a place like ours, with a natural mountain wall as a city wall? But in my impression, there don't seem to be any mountains in Changhe Base, let alone a place like this surrounded by mountains. Already..."

Xiang Bo asked quickly. He was curious about what Changhe Base relied on to survive until now.

Although when the apocalypse came, the country had quickly organized manpower to build a survivor base, but the zombie virus was too terrifying! Those survivor bases began to fall one after another, and in the end no one could hold on...

Wang Tao smiled and said:

"The Changhe Base was initially built by a national organization. Later, after losing contact with its superiors, the Changhe Base started construction on its own. It also experienced many dangers at the time, but it was finally completed successfully. The current Changhe Base is a place with a unique A huge survivor base with a wall more than 100 meters high..."

"Let me go, a high wall of more than 100 meters! Built on flat land? That's awesome!"

Xiang Bo exclaimed again.

Although the outer wall of Hongfeng base is higher, more than a thousand meters long, it is not a real city wall, but a mountain, which exists naturally.

Although these mountains are relatively steep, it does not mean that zombies cannot climb up, so they have to send people to guard the mountains 24 hours a day to prevent zombies from invading. Even when it was freezing and snowy, there were several teams of people on duty on the top of the mountain.

The artificial high wall is different. It can be specially built into a structure that zombies cannot climb up, and it can even be equipped with various defensive weapons and so on. So when comparing the two, man-made city walls are definitely better than natural mountains.

Changhe Base can actually build a wall as high as 100 meters! I have to say that he admires this ability.

With this kind of high wall, we can definitely defend against a large number of zombies in the early stage, but what to do at this stage? There are flying zombies now!

There are no flying zombies here in the Red Maple Base, purely because they are lucky, and there are even very few ordinary zombies here. But what about Changhe Base? Changhe Base rises out of the ground. There should be a lot of zombies in that kind of terrain, right? Even if there are no zombies originally, zombies can migrate. Wouldn't it be very troublesome if flying zombies pass by? If it is really invaded by a flying zombie, it will not be a matter of a few people dying, but the entire base will be wiped out...

"There is a crystal energy poison tree in our base. It is not a mutated plant, but a biological weapon. It is a unique equipment in the apocalypse. Generally, if you kill non-human life, there is a certain probability of dropping it, but the probability is very small. , comparable to buying lottery tickets..."

Wang Tao briefly explained the crystal energy poison tree.

After Xiang Bo listened to a few words, he immediately took out a notebook and a pen from his arms. Wang Tao was talking and he was memorizing.

In fact, when it comes to things like biological weapons, the lifting vines, leaf carts, lantern trees, etc. in their Red Maple Base also count. After all, they are all things that people can control and use. But these things are cultivated by them, and most of them can only do some auxiliary work.

The biological weapons Wang Tao mentioned are different. They are things dropped after killing zombies or other creatures. They are usually parts of these creatures, such as their weapons and heads. This kind of biological weapon can basically be used after it is dropped, and it is 100% under your own command. Unlike the creatures in their base, there is a training process.

The most important thing is that these biological weapons are very powerful!

It's so strong that it can even provide a protective shield for a base with a population of hundreds of thousands... Oh my god, why haven't they discovered such a good thing before!

wrong--

"You said these things may be certain parts of non-human creatures. When we were hunting those monsters before, we occasionally found that a certain part of some monsters was so hard that it couldn't be split with a knife. It took a lot of effort to destroy it, but it was broken. It feels no different after opening it... Could these things be biological weapons? "

Xiang Bo suddenly said.

"...Then that's a high probability. If you want to use biological weapons, you first need to use your own mental power to establish contact with it. If it doesn't work once, try a few more times - mental power may sound a bit mysterious, but that's the fact. If you want to learn, I can teach you for free. If you still have some weird things that you don’t know the use of, but you think they are useful, you can let me evaluate them. I think I have a good eye. , the experience of the apocalypse is quite rich, you won’t miss anything good.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

The Red Maple Base is a very unique base, and some of the things here should be very useful to the Hope Research Institute. In the future, we may be able to send people to fly over for exchanges, trade, etc. In addition, they are all compatriots, and Wang Tao also hopes that his compatriots can live well, so he does not mind doing some good deeds within his ability.

"..."

Xiang Bo wanted to curse.

Before he became the mayor of Red Maple Base, he worked for a period of time dealing with mutated plant corpses. He even dismantled something that was suspected of being a biological weapon. At that time, he thought that not only was this thing difficult to dismantle, but it was also inedible. It was simply... Scrap... Now it seems that he is still too young!

But it’s not too late to know now, and Wang Tao is willing to help them identify and use biological weapons!

"Thank you very much! You're welcome then. I remember that our base does have some weird things. I'll ask Mr. Wang to come with me to take a look later. On behalf of all the residents of the Red Maple Base, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

Xiang Bo stood up and bowed to Wang Tao solemnly.

He didn't come to the Red Maple Base from the beginning. He went through hardships and obstacles to get here. He knows that people in the apocalypse are completely different from those in peacetime. People who are still willing to help others are kind in the true sense. person. If Wang Tao didn't lie to them, then he should bow.

"Mayor Xiang, you're welcome." Wang Tao waved his hand, and then continued, "In addition to these, there is another important reason why our Changhe base can survive for so long, and that is the Hope Research Institute..."

"What! Hope Research Institute!" Hearing the name, Xiang Bo, who had just sat down, stood up again. "Is it the Hope Research Institute that manufactures zombie virus inhibitors?"

"Yes, that's the Hope Research Institute."

Wang Tao was not surprised that Xiang Bo and the others had heard the name of Hope Research Institute. Because the Hope Research Institute announced the formula of the inhibitor to all major military regions across the country, and asked the military to send transport aircraft for airdrops across the country.

It can be said that if it were not for the inhibitor, more people would have died at that time, and Changhe Base may not even have a population of 100,000 now.

Inhibitors should have been airdropped in this area of ​​the Red Maple Base, so it is normal for them to have heard about the Hope Research Institute.

"The Hope Research Institute is actually in your base! So do you still have inhibitors? This thing has been sold at a sky-high price in the Red Maple Base. After all, it is out of print. The military does have the formula, but we happen to lack some production materials here... …”

"Of course." Wang Tao nodded, and then continued, "But the inhibitors dropped by planes in the early days of the apocalypse are basically the first version. Our current inhibitors are all improved, and the side effects are relatively small. Inhibition The effect has also been greatly enhanced. If you need it, I will send someone to help you. However, this thing has a cost after all, so if you still want it later, you will have to pay some crystal cores or other equivalents. …”

While speaking, Wang Tao took out 10 bottles of inhibitors from his body and handed them to Xiang Bo.

"I don't have much with me, you can try the effect first."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you!"

Xiang Bo took the potion and looked overjoyed. Although Wang Tao wrote them two bad checks, each one was so tempting that he had to believe it!

At this time, Wang Tao suddenly said:

"Actually, I also want to know how you control these mutant plants. Unfortunately, this should be your secret..."

"..." After hearing this, Xiang Bo still didn't understand what Wang Tao meant, so he pondered for a while and then said, "Mr. Wang, I and you really don't know about this, but during the dinner, someone from the military will come over. , will you talk in person then? I believe they will be happy to talk to you!”

"Okay. Thank you very much, Mayor Xiang."
