Chapter 1439: Chapter 598: Taking Two Young Apprentices_2

Humans have reached Level 6 now!

Has human evolution accelerated this much? Did it leave me behind?

Wang Tao wasn’t surprised by everyone’s shock, after all, they hadn’t even encountered an Awakener before, their strength was too weak.

“What are your plans for the future?”

Wang Tao directly asked.

Hearing Wang Tao’s question, everyone immediately snapped back to reality, and Yan Guoyi hurriedly responded:

“Didn’t you ask us to wait for your return? We’ve already discussed this, and within a week of your return, we plan to start relocating…”

The resources at Shuize Base were dwindling, and Shuize County also had little to offer. It might get colder in the future, so while Xu Quan has awakened, they were planning to move elsewhere. The place they chose is the neighboring county town.

“Actually, I feel that the city might have more resources. But the city is also more dangerous. For safety, we decided to still go to the neighbor county to see…”

Yan Guoyi scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

It’s not because he was cowardly, but as the head of the base, he had to be responsible for the lives of these one hundred people.

Wang Tao immediately shook his head.

“I’m afraid the neighboring county won’t do, either. Even if there are resources, they probably won’t last long. To my knowledge, the military passed through several nearby counties at that time, taking many survivors and resources. Plus, the scavenging by survivors afterward… so this whole area is quite barren…”

“Ah?”

When everyone heard what Wang Tao had to say, they were instantly confused. There are no resources in the nearby counties? So, they could only go to the city? But the city is so dangerous…

“Mr. Wang, please save us and give us some direction!”

When everyone was lost in confusion, Yan Guoyi suddenly addressed Wang Tao respectfully.

He was a clever man. Since Wang Tao was expressing concern for them, perhaps Wang Tao would have a way to help them.

And facing someone as powerful as Wang Tao, there was no need to be reserved; it was best to directly seek help shamelessly. Generally speaking, someone who has helped you would not refuse to help again if they were capable.

“It’s actually quite simple, just come home with me.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Although this group was weak, their character and potential were still quite good; they could be brought back to the base for key training, as quite a few of them had potential for Awakening.

“Home?”

But upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, everyone was once more confused.

Home? Where is home?

“It’s where I currently reside, Changhe Base in West Province.”

Wang Tao briefly explained.

“West Province! That’s really far, isn’t it more than a thousand kilometers?”

Everyone was shocked again. They considered it remarkable to manage a ten-kilometer journey in this post-apocalyptic environment. Over a thousand kilometers, even with ten lives, they wouldn’t make it!

“Distance isn’t the issue; it’s whether you’re willing or not. If you’re willing, start packing now, and we’ll leave in a while.”

Wang Tao waved his hand.

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously glanced at the Golden Eagle parked not far away.

If they could fly there aboard such a Mutant beast… then it seemed feasible?

Yan Guoyi didn’t even hesitate, making an immediate decision:

“On behalf of these more than one hundred people, we are willing to follow you back to Changhe Base!”

Opportunities don’t come often and time won’t wait. Since he chose to trust Wang Tao, he would continue to do so. If Wang Tao was going to such lengths to deceive them, then he would just accept it. Besides, with Wang Tao’s strength, he could forcefully take them away. If he had any bad intentions, do they even have the right to refuse?

Xu Quan, Lin Meng, and others did not object either; they were even excited. They clearly trusted Wang Tao a lot.

“Good, then hurry up and pack. I’ll step out for a bit, and come back in an hour.”

Suddenly, Wang Tao remembered the Black Mist Monster from before in Shuize County. When Wang Tao first encountered it, he was quite frightened and almost fell at its hands. Later, as Wang Tao grew stronger, he left and never saw the Black Mist Monster again.

Wang Tao wanted to know if it was still around, as until now, he still wasn’t clear what kind of Monster it truly was, he only knew that it was shrouded in black mist. Having been bullied so harshly the first time, Wang Tao now wanted to seek a rematch.

“Okay!”

Yan Guoyi didn’t ask more questions, he immediately started informing everyone to prepare for the move.

Wang Tao, on the other hand, rode the Golden Eagle and carefully scouted Shuize County and the surrounding areas.

Unfortunately, he did not find any trace of the Black Mist Monster. Wang Tao figured that if it was so strong in the early days of the apocalypse, it would surely not be weak later. It likely didn’t die but left the area instead. After all, there are no resources here, and Mutant beasts need to survive too.

Wang Tao then visited his old abode–Happy Community. It was here that he witnessed the coming of the apocalypse and cooperated with Ding Yuqin to survive through it.

The community hadn’t changed much from when he left, just became a bit older. Obviously, after Wang Tao cleared out the zombies here, no survivors or zombies had come in.

The room he rented also hadn’t changed, as the doors and windows were sealed tight at the time, not even snow had drifted in, just accumulated a layer of dust.

After reminiscing for a while, exactly one hour passed, and Wang Tao returned to Shuize Base.

Yan Guoyi and the others were all waiting already.

Since they were already prepared to leave soon, many things were packed up, so they were ready quickly.
