Chapter 624: Leader of the Fiery Gang
Xiang Bo left before the dinner started. He arranged a small courtyard for Wang Tao and his party, and this courtyard was composed of a kind of mutated grass. Both the courtyard walls and the tables, chairs, benches and beds were all mutated grass.
Especially these grasses are still squirming slightly, which makes Ding Yuqin and others who are exposed to these for the first time somewhat uncomfortable. However, the air here is fresh and has a very pleasant fragrance, which makes people feel calm unconsciously.
Wang Tao took a look at everyone's health bars and found that none of them showed any negative status, and he was immediately relieved.
He tried to use his mental power to communicate with these mutated plants again, but as expected, it was still the same as before, unable to communicate at all.
Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.
"This mutated plant is quite interesting. How is it controlled..."
According to Xiang Bo, these mutated plants saved them a lot of time in infrastructure construction, allowing the red maple base to take shape early, thereby avoiding many disasters, otherwise there might not be the current red maple base.
"It would be great if we could also master this method of controlling mutant plants..."
Xiang Hongbin said while stroking the hard but slightly elastic mutant grass.
Wei Zhenguo suddenly spoke: "Xiang Bo said that these mutated plants can only be controlled within a certain range? They can't be controlled outside the base, so there are great restrictions..."
Xiang Hongbin immediately scratched his head, "Oh, right, I forgot about that. Then it doesn't seem to be that useful to our base, right? After all, our base is large enough and safe enough, and with a large population, so Don’t worry about infrastructure problems, and these infrastructures have actually provided jobs for many people..."
"Yes, we don't actually need it very much. But then again, it is always good to have one more technical means. And this may be of great use to the research institute. Anyway, it depends on whether Wang Tao can get this It’s technical…”
Wei Zhenguo nodded.
Wang Tao feels that if the threshold for this kind of technology is relatively high, it should be possible to obtain it. After all, he had a lot of cards in his hand, and he originally planned to provide some help to the Red Maple Base first. If the military at the Red Maple Base was unwilling, he would reveal another trump card - Jing Neng.
Not to mention anything else, it is crystal power armor, which the military must like.
But if this doesn't work and the military is still unwilling to exchange technology, then this can only prove one problem - this technology to control plants is very simple and easy to learn. The military was afraid that telling Wang Tao would affect their dominance in the base.
But if this is the case, Wang Tao might be able to research it soon. After all, his mental power is indeed very useful at certain times.
Several people studied the mutated grass here for a while, but after getting no response, they felt a little boring.
Wang Tao stopped studying and took out some of the trophies he had obtained before, such as hematopoietic agents and energy-enhancing agents.
Since I had found Chen Haolin and others on the road and followed them to the Red Maple Base, I didn't have time to use these potions. Of course, this is not for Wang Tao, but for others to use.
Wang Tao had hunted giant zombies before and obtained a lot of blood beads. He had no use for it for a long time, so he gave them to others. Some people had already reached 1 million blood, but some people still hadn't reached it. This time, with the addition of these hematopoietic agents, it will not be a problem to increase everyone's blood volume to 1 million.
Wang Tao originally planned to go back and use it again, because these medicines had the side effect of being weak for a day. But Wang Tao is going to stay at the Red Maple Base for a day and won't go out for the time being. There is no need to worry about getting weak. In addition, not everyone can use it, only those with weak combat power can use it, so if he doesn't go out, it won't be a big problem.
Everyone was happy to hear that their strength could be improved now. With the use of bottles of potions, the blood volume of some people gradually increased until it reached 1 million.
In fact, Wang Tao wanted to use it himself. These potions were enough to increase his mana level to 1 million, completing a basic condition. But he is the team's greatest combat power. If he enters a weak state, it will be troublesome if something unexpected happens, so it's better to wait first.
And just after everyone's blood volume increased to 1 million, Xiang Bo came over again and invited Wang Tao and his party to have dinner.
Since Jiang Shixue hadn't woken up yet and needed someone to take care of her, Li Qiuyu and the other girls stayed here with Lightning. Just let Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo go to the banquet.
The dinner was also held inside a giant mushroom. The outside of the mushroom was black and looked a little dirty, but the inside had white and gold lines and a jade-like texture, which was particularly beautiful. Coupled with the light brought by some lantern trees, it makes the place feel resplendent.
"Welcome Mr. Wang!"
Today, in addition to Wang Tao, there are many guests, and these guests have come long ago and are waiting at the door. It can be said that they have given Wang Tao enough face.
"Hello!"
Wang Tao nodded, then smiled and listened to Xiang Bo's introduction.
There were more than thirty people in total, but there were only 11 fifth-level awakened people among them. Except for Xiang Bo and the people from the city hall, the rest were all fourth-level people.
According to Xiang Bo's introduction, Wang Tao knew that these were the leaders of the major forces in Hongfeng Base, and they were also the strongest group of people. Such as military commanders, leaders of the Agni Gang, etc.
Although this strength cannot be compared with the current Changhe Base, it is not weak. It is what a super large survivor base should look like.
And the attributes of these people are all normal. Even the one with the most impurities in his body only has about 40%, and there is no continuous negative state... This is a normal promotion, unlike those people in the Silver Snake Base before, who took the crooked path.
And after seeing Wang Tao, these people's polite expressions suddenly became more polite.
You know, here are the strongest people in the entire Red Maple, and none of them can tell what level Wang Tao is! This is very scary. Either Wang Tao is an ordinary person, or Wang Tao is hiding very deeply, or Wang Tao's strength is much stronger than them!
Option one can be directly ruled out. Let's not talk about the people of the Fiery Fire Gang saying that Wang Tao killed the fifth-level lord in one move, nor that he has a fifth-level lord flying mount that everyone has seen so far. Just say that these people around Wang Tao can feel that they are all fifth-level awakeners! Those who can let the fifth-level awakener follow behind are obviously not ordinary people.
And options two and three are both possible. They tend to think that Wang Tao is much stronger than them and knows how to hide his own breath.
This kind of person who is reserved is even more terrifying! So it is right to be polite.
"Mr. Wang Tao, we are all a little curious, what level are you? My name is Han Youlin."
At this time, a middle-aged man in military uniform suddenly spoke up. He was one of the 11 fifth-level awakeners present, and also the commander and leader of the military, Han Youlin.
He didn't like to beat around the bush. Since others wanted to ask, he spoke directly.
"Sixth level."
Wang Tao didn't hide it, and even released a little bit of the sixth-level aura.
"Hiss--"
Faced with the impact of the sixth-level aura, everyone subconsciously took a step back and took a breath of cold air.
Although they had guessed it, they were still shocked when they really felt the sixth-level aura.
Sixth level! Most of them have only been promoted to the fifth level not long ago, and now they haven't even seen the shadow of the sixth level, but they didn't expect Wang Tao to be the sixth level!
"Awesome!"
Han Youlin gave a thumbs up.
It was extremely difficult for them to be promoted to the fifth level, but they didn't expect that someone would be promoted to the sixth level. In the past, I was really a little bit of a sit-in-a-well-looking person!
He was ready to ask Wang Tao for advice, but he didn't know if Wang Tao was willing...
"Please take a seat!"
Wang Tao took his seat, and Wei Zhenguo and others sat beside him. Some people started to serve the dishes one after another. Wang Tao took a general look. It was not particularly rich, but the quantity was enough to fill him up. After all, the appetite of the psychics and awakened people was huge.
After Wang Tao took his seat, everyone's eyes stayed on Xiang Hongbin again. Before attending this dinner, they thought Wang Tao should be the one who attracted their attention the most - in fact, he was, but now there was one more person, that was Xiang Hongbin next to Wang Tao.
Although Xiang Hongbin deliberately changed his clothes to cover the half-mechanical body, the half-human and half-mechanical state on his face was really eye-catching.
At first glance, everyone thought it was a mechanical prosthesis, and Xiang Hongbin was half human and half mechanical. But after thinking about it carefully, they felt it was impossible. Even if there was technology for mechanical prosthesis, all electronic devices could not be used now... So Xiang Hongbin must have been disfigured, and he deliberately made a mechanical mask that could cover half of his face and put it on?
But why did this mechanical mask blend so well with his face, and one of his eyes seemed to occasionally emit blue light?
Everyone was very curious. However, since it was their first meeting, they were not very familiar with each other. If this was Xiang Hongbin's scar, it would be a bit bad for them to ask about it, so they did not ask, but just guessed silently in their hearts.
On the other hand, since Wei Zhenguo and his team were military men and were strong enough now, they quickly chatted with Han Youlin.
During this chat, both sides got along very well, and even forgot that there was a sixth-level awakener Wang Tao around them.
Of course, Wang Tao was not left out. Xiang Bo and others talked to Wang Tao enthusiastically, and the most enthusiastic one was Tu Lizhen, the leader of the Liehuo Gang. She moved the chair directly to Wang Tao's left and squeezed Xiang Bo away. Xiang Bo smiled helplessly and shrugged, but didn't say much.
Wang Tao didn't expect that the leader of the Liehuo Gang was a woman, and a mature woman with beauty and charm.
It's not that Wang Tao looks down on women, but most women are not as good as men in terms of physical fitness. In the environment of the end of the world, it is more difficult for women to rise. Not to mention that Tu Lizhen is a fifth-level awakener.
"Mr. Wang, you saved the core members of our Liehuo Gang and prevented our Liehuo Gang from suffering huge losses. I am very grateful for this! So after the dinner, I would like to invite you to our Liehuo Gang as a guest and thank you very much! Please don't refuse..."
Tu Lizhen rubbed Wang Tao's arm with the back of her hand, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and her eyes looking at Wang Tao seemed to be dripping with water.
When the others heard what Tu Lizhen said, they immediately pouted inwardly. Inviting people to your gang in the middle of the night? Is this a serious thank you? I don't want to expose you!
But they are somewhat envious in their hearts. Sometimes, it is easier for women to get things done.
There are not many women present, and Tu Lizhen is the most beautiful one. She is also a fifth-level awakener... It is estimated that most men will find it difficult to refuse her invitation.
They actually really want to invite Wang Tao. They don't care about Wang Tao's other things, they just care about Wang Tao's experience. After all, this is a genuine sixth-level awakened person! If they could get some useful information from Wang Tao to advance to the sixth level, they would be willing to exchange the crystal core or the body for it, but it was a pity that they were not women.
Wang Tao glanced at Tu Lizhen with interest.
"Oh? What thanks?"
"Whatever you want to thank me for, I will thank you for it!"
Tu Lizhen's words were so imaginative that she winked at Wang Tao playfully.
However, Wang Tao has never seen any big winds and waves, so this temptation has no effect on him.
"Next time."
After all, at the dinner table, Wang Tao did not refuse directly.
Tu Lizhen's face suddenly stiffened, and then she looked at Wang Tao with some resentment. She didn't dare to say that she would definitely be able to invite Wang Tao, but she refused so quickly without giving a chance to bargain. This somewhat frustrated her and made her doubt her own charm...
But she is not willing to give in. Who knows how long Wang Tao will stay here. If he leaves tomorrow, where can she find the second sixth-level awakened person to learn from him.
Then, Tu Lizhen suddenly took hold of Wang Tao's left hand and pulled it under the table.
Wang Tao was naturally able to resist. It was impossible for a small fifth-level awakened person to catch her, but Tu Lizhen was not hostile, so he did not hide, wanting to see what this woman was going to do. But what he didn't expect was that Tu Lizhen directly pulled his hand under the table and placed it on her own thigh.
Wang Tao could clearly feel a soft touch.
What is this for?
Too bold?
Wang Tao is not this kind of person!
And there are so many people, isn’t it bad?
Just when Wang Tao was hesitating to take back his hand, he suddenly stopped.
Because he found that he seemed to have misunderstood. Tu Lizhen pulled his hand down not to do anything bad, but to quickly write a lot of words on his palm.
"I know you must be curious about the mutated plants here, and I happen to be one of the few people who knows all about it. Come to the Agni Gang later, and I will tell you everything. In exchange, you have to tell me how long it takes to advance to the sixth level. What should I pay attention to? Is there a faster way..."
