Chapter 620 Red Maple Base
Chen Haolin feels like his heart has been riding a roller coaster today!
At first, he came to this city with a sense of luck, but who knew there were so many zombies in this city!
They didn't even have time to collect much supplies before they encountered a group of corpses head-on. Among this group of zombies, the weakest ones are the fifth-level ordinary zombies, and the strongest are the sixth-level elite zombies! Even if there are no lord zombies, they only have the strength of the third and fourth levels, and they might be wiped out!
Although they were lucky enough to escape in the end, they were trapped in a building. There was a sea of corpses outside, and they had no way to get out!
This made him feel cold. He originally thought he would be trapped to death by zombies, but they were all ready to fight to the death. But unexpectedly, the lord zombies in this city suddenly seemed to start fighting, and by the way, they also summoned some zombies from other places, including those outside the building.
This was naturally a good opportunity for Chen Haolin and others, so he made a decisive decision to withdraw quickly.
There may be a lot of supplies here, but they are no longer something they can covet. It would not be bad if they could go back alive today.
There were not many zombies on the way back. Chen Haolin originally thought that today would be a near miss, but suddenly a fifth-level zombie lord appeared and blocked their car!
If they were fourth-level lords, they could still fight, but fifth-level lords were really beyond their capabilities.
Therefore, they could only use all their means to temporarily push back the fifth-level lord, and then immediately run away at full speed.
I have to say that they were really lucky. There happened to be a road with no obstacles. There was no problem with the car and they quickly got rid of the fifth-level zombie lord.
It wasn’t until the zombie was no longer visible in the rearview mirror that Chen Haolin and others breathed a sigh of relief.
They were about to leave the city, which meant that their thrilling journey was about to end safely. However, no one expected that the fifth-level zombie lord did not give up the pursuit, and might even steal it. Take a shortcut and run ahead of them!
Seeing his car being blown away, Chen Haolin was filled with despair.
All he knew was that this time it was really over!
Although they could always find a glimmer of hope in crises before, it was mainly because their vehicles were very good, no one was injured, and all kinds of methods were retained.
But now, the car has been overturned, people have been injured, and all the previous methods have been used up when encountering this fifth-level zombie lord... Now they really have no chance. !
In the short moment when the vehicle was overturned, Chen Haolin could only think of two relatively realistic solutions.
One is that this fifth-level lord was suddenly summoned away by higher-level zombies and stopped attacking them.
The other is that other survivors appear, attracting the zombie lord's attention, giving them a chance to escape.
But these two methods are actually not realistic at all!
If this fifth-level lord could really be summoned away by a higher-level zombie, he would probably have summoned it away when the suspected sixth-level lord was fighting just now, and would not have waited until now. And it is really about to be summoned. It only eats a few people before leaving, and it doesn't take much time...
Furthermore, the reason why Chen Haolin and the others came so far is because there are no other survivors here. come over. Chen Haolin looked at the list, and only their team registered to come here.
So, they are really going to die this time!
Chen Haolin saw no hope.
But just when Chen Haolin was at his most desperate, the zombie lord who was about to destroy them suddenly fell to the ground! A spear was stuck in the zombie's head!
This made the desperate group a little confused, including Chen Haolin.
He didn’t feel saved at first, but wondered if this was a hallucination before his death.
After all, this spear looks like a human weapon. There are other survivors here and they have been saved? And most importantly, he killed this zombie in one fell swoop? You know, this is a fifth-level lord! Can you kill a fifth-level zombie lord with one blow? What kind of strength does this have? Is there anyone with this kind of strength in the world?
Chen Haolin had a question mark on his head, so he was not sure whether this was his hallucination. It wasn't until his teammates also screamed in surprise and even pinched him that he didn't know who it was that he realized that this was not an illusion, this was real.
But at this moment, a shadow appeared in front of them, and a huge, unprecedented eagle monster appeared above them.
The aura of this eagle monster is very similar to the giant zombie they saw before, it is extremely terrifying! The giant zombie is currently recognized as the strongest zombie in their base, bar none!
So at this moment, Chen Haolin, who had not had time to be happy just now, was desperate again.
Is it inevitable to die after all? Even if he is so lucky to be rescued, is it still not possible...
Just when everyone's hearts fell to the bottom, they saw a figure above the golden eagle.
When he saw this figure, Chen Haolin suddenly had only one thought in his mind - the spear just now was definitely thrown by this person!
Only those who can tame such a terrifying mount can kill the fifth-level lord zombie instantly!
Others' faces also showed a hint of joy after the disaster. It's a good thing I don't have a heart disease, otherwise I would have died several times today.
After rejoicing, they subconsciously looked at the golden eagle that landed slowly not far from them, feeling the terrifying momentum of the golden eagle, and looking at the tall man who jumped down from the golden eagle's head. Figures, there is some fear in their eyes, but more of admiration!
Although they can't sense the specific level of this boss, they can be sure that this is definitely the strongest human being in the world!
Pfft!
I saw this big boss pull out the spear from the head of the fifth-level zombie lord very casually, and then looked at Chen Haolin and the others with a strange look:
"You are If you didn’t fall silly, why didn’t you come out?”
Although they felt safer inside the car, their car overturned. What if the fuel tank explodes... In their current state, they may not be able to withstand the explosion.
"..."
After hearing Wang Tao's words, Chen Haolin felt like he had woken up from a dream, and then quickly called everyone to get out of the car.
A total of six people in the car struggled to get out of the deformed door.
"Boss! Thank you for your life-saving grace! I have some crystal nuclei here. If you don't mind, please take them..."
Chen Haolin immediately led them to thank you, and then continued He took all their bags and handed them to Wang Tao.
This is all the crystal nuclei they got this time.
There is an unwritten rule in their base - after being rescued in the wild, a portion of the personal gain will be given to the other party, usually 20 to 50%.
Rescuing people comes at a cost and cannot be done in vain. If you don't benefit others, then no one may be willing to take action in the future.
And people are greedy. If someone saves you, maybe they are interested in the supplies you have. In order to prevent the other party from killing people and stealing goods, it is obviously more appropriate to take the initiative to hand over some.
Killing people and selling goods is also risky, and it also affects your reputation. If someone else takes the initiative to pay for their hard work, that's very appropriate. Not only will this not ruin your reputation, it will actually give you a good reputation!
So this unwritten rule is followed by many people. When you go out, helping others is equivalent to helping yourself. Chen Haolin and others are obviously rule-abiding people.
But this time he did not choose between 20% and 50%, but took out all the crystal nuclei.
After all, their situation is indeed critical this time. It can be said that half of their bodies are already buried in the ground. If Wang Tao had been a little late, they might have been wiped out. In addition, Wang Tao is so powerful, even if he can't be recruited into his gang, it's still good to become familiar with him!
So Chen Haolin didn’t hesitate and just took out all the crystal cores his team had obtained this time.
But what he didn't expect was that Wang Tao glanced at the crystal core and waved his hand impatiently:
"I dislike it, you can keep it for yourself."
"..."
Generally speaking, it is just polite to say that people should not dislike you. How can someone really dislike you? What's more, this is still a crystal core! Absolute hard currency in the apocalypse, this is money in peacetime! Is there anyone else who hates money?
Chen Haolin was embarrassed for a moment. It was not appropriate for him to leave the things behind. There was no way he could take back the things he gave away. But if I force it on Wang Tao, Wang Tao will say he dislikes it, so that would be even more inappropriate...
Fortunately, Wang Tao didn't care about these trivial matters at all. He asked directly:
"Where are you from?"
"We are from the Liehuo Gang!" Chen Haolin answered quickly.
"The Agni Gang?" Wang Tao frowned, and he asked again, "I mean, where is your base and what is its name."
Seeing that Wang Tao was very unfamiliar with the Agni Gang. Chen Haolin suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The Liehuo Gang couldn't be considered anonymous, right? But the boss seemed to be hearing it for the first time... But when he heard Wang Tao's next words, Chen Haolin suddenly widened his eyes.
This seems to indicate that this boss is not from their base!
Does Qian Guo have a second survivor base?
"Boss, we are from the Red Maple Base...the specific location is..."
Chen Haolin quickly reported the name and address of the base.
"Red Maple Base..."
This is the first time Wang Tao has heard of this base. Judging from their appearance, this should be a large base.
Seeing Wang Tao's expression, Chen Haolin was basically sure that this boss was not from their base. Maybe Qianguo really has a second survivor base!
But just to be on the safe side, he still asked.
"Boss, what do you mean by this, you are not from our Hongfeng Base?"
"No. I am from the Changhe Base."
Wang Tao didn't hide it either.
"Changhe Base!"
Chen Haolin and others exclaimed in a low voice. It was not that they knew about Changhe Base, but it was now 100% certain that Qianguo really had a second survivor base. !
In the past, their Red Maple base regarded themselves as "the last piece of pure land in the world" and that they were the "last human beings". Now that they heard that there is another base, their hearts have changed somewhat.
"This is not the place to talk. Do you want to go back? I can give you a ride."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
He wanted to visit this red maple base. The location of Hongfeng Base is very close to a laboratory marked by Qu Shilin, so it happens to be on the way.
When Chen Haolin and others heard that Wang Tao was willing to give them a ride, they were so excited that they almost jumped up. Being able to ride such a golden eagle is beyond their dreams!
However, Chen Haolin quickly shook his head.
“Thank you for your kindness, boss, but don’t bother, our car can still be used, we can take the car back by ourselves.”
It's not that he doesn't believe Wang Tao, or that he doesn't want to ride the Golden Eagle, but it's because the value of this car is too high. He just took a look and it can still be driven. Such a precious thing may have been left outside. After all, there are no car factories now, and most of the cars in the apocalypse have been corroded by acid rain. He is not willing to throw away one car after another.
As for letting the golden eagle drag his car away with him, he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it. So I had no choice but to drive the car back.
Through Chen Haolin's reluctant eyes looking at the car, Wang Tao roughly understood what he was thinking, so he nodded.
"Okay, then you can drive. But I need a guide. Which of you will come with me?"
Chen Haolin and the others looked at each other, all eager to try. This is a rare opportunity. Not only can you get up close to this big boss, but you can also ride on a golden eagle!
But in the end, they still sent out the youngest person in the team, which seemed like the elders in the family were giving benefits to the younger ones.
Let this young man with certain potential take a ride on the Golden Eagle, get in touch with this big man, gain insights, and maybe it will improve his future!
"Hello, boss, I, my name is Zhan Liang..."
The young man's name is Zhan Liang. He looks less than twenty years old. He is thin and has a shy personality.
"Yes." Wang Tao nodded, and then said to everyone, "Forgot to mention me, my name is Wang Tao."
"Hello, Mr. Wang Tao! My name is Chen Haolin..."
"My name is..."
The remaining people also introduced themselves quickly.
At this time, Wang Tao waved his hand, and several people saw a green light entering their bodies, and their whole bodies suddenly felt warm and very comfortable.
He is a healing awakener!
Only then did a few people realize that a group of people, both men and women, had come up behind Wang Tao. The man was powerful and the woman had an extraordinary temperament. Therapy is unleashed by a beautiful woman in the crowd.
Just now, their eyes had been attracted by Wang Tao and Golden Eagle, but they didn't notice that there was another group of people.
Wang Tao didn’t introduce much. He asked Xu Xiaojun to help turn over the cars of several people. After making sure they could still walk, he took Zhan Liang and jumped on the back of the golden eagle.
Buzz——
The car started and headed towards the Hongfeng base. The golden eagle followed slowly above the car.
Wang Tao briefly asked about the situation at the Red Maple Base, and Zhan Liangzhi answered all questions.
“We have a total of 800,000 people in the Red Maple Base... The base has always told us that the Red Maple Base is the only human gathering place in the world, and we are the last batch of humans in the world... and we do No other survivor bases were found, but I didn’t expect..."
