Chapter 621 A base in the mountains
A base with 800,000 people?
Wang Tao was very surprised. He originally thought that this was a medium-sized base with tens of thousands of people, which would be great, but he did not expect that this was a very large survivor base with 800,000 people!
This is definitely an unexpected surprise. The greater the number of survivors, the better it will be for the entire human camp.
As for the Red Maple Base saying that "their base is the only human gathering place in the world, and their residents are the last batch of humans in the world," that is understandable. One is to create a feeling for them that the base should be cherished, and the other is that they really did not find any other survivor bases. Just like Wang Tao, at the beginning, he had doubts about whether all humans in the world except him were dead...
Anyway, it is a good thing that such a large survivor base has survived to this day. We have to talk to Changhe Base later, and maybe some people will be organized to communicate or something...
Wang Tao asked Zhan Liang some more information about Hongfeng Base, and got a general idea of it. learn.
To put it simply, this is very similar to Hongfeng Base and Changhe Base. They are both built by the government and managed by the military.
However, the number of soldiers in Hongfeng Base is not as large as that in Changhe Base. Unlike Changhe Base, which has six legions, they only have one military force here. But this is a full-scale regular army, which is much stronger than the military at Silver Snake Base.
So the military has a strong presence in the Red Maple Base, such as city defense, law enforcement departments, resource departments, etc., which are all controlled by the military.
Of course, as the superpowers become more and more powerful, the power of the superpowers is also gradually expanding. They have formed a superpower business alliance. They say it is a business alliance, but in fact everyone understands that this is to check and balance the military. of.
However, the military in the Red Maple Base is different from the military in other places. Wang Tao has met many military forces in the base before. They are generally conservative and are very cautious about the use of things like crystal cores. cautious.
The military at the Red Maple Base is different. They seem to be more adventurous and discerning - they have used crystal cores a long time ago. At that time, thermal weapons were used to kill a large number of zombies and a lot of crystal nuclei were obtained. Then they arranged experiments and found that these crystal nuclei could increase their strength. Finally, they began to use the crystal nuclei extensively, turning many soldiers into superpowers.
The military at Red Maple Base is actually more like superpowers than superpowers. While other survivors are still hiding at home and worrying about food for tomorrow, they have already begun to appear in large numbers with superpowers. .
So there are a lot of superpowers in the military, and they are all very powerful.
The minor conflicts between them now are not so much conflicts between the military and superpowers, but rather conflicts between veteran superpowers and new superpowers.
After all, a base is only that big and resources are limited. The predecessors occupied more, and the descendants naturally occupied less. As the strength of these descendants increased, they were obviously not satisfied with this.
However, the military at the Red Maple Base is very powerful. Even if they don’t use any thermal weapons and only compete with the strength of superpowers, the business alliance may not be able to defeat the military. After all, in the alliance, people in it have different ideas, and it is impossible to really put down all guard and join forces. The military is monolithic, so the gap naturally arises.
Of course, Zhan Liang didn’t know much about the matters between the military and the alliance. These are all public information. As for more and more secret information, he doesn't know. He only knows that everything in the base is currently in good condition and is developing steadily. Even if they don't come out to look for supplies, they won't starve to death. It's just that you can't become stronger in the base. If you want to become stronger, you have to come out.
Zhan Liang's Fiery Gang is very famous in the Red Maple Base and is one of the top ten forces.
The difference between ordinary forces and top forces lies in whether there are fifth-level awakened people in their forces.
The leader of the Fiery Gang is a fifth-level awakener, and Zhan Liang said he is very powerful.
As for their team, they are the core of the Fire Gang. After all, they are also third- and fourth-level awakened ones. Awakened ones are very rare in the Red Maple Base and have a high status. They are those who can violate the rules of the base. That kind of person...
But when asked how strong the strongest person in their base was, Zhan Liang said that he didn’t know how strong the strongest person in their base was, but he was absolutely incomparable to Wang Tao. ! Wang Tao's strength is definitely ranked first in their Hongfeng Base!
On this point, Wang Tao was noncommittal and did not elaborate.
"The Red Maple Base is ahead!"
Suddenly, Zhan Liang pointed to a large mountain road not far away.
The Red Maple Base and the Silver Snake Base are somewhat similar, both are built in the mountains.
It’s just that the Silver Snake base uses the Silver Snake tree as a barrier, and their base is hidden in the mountains.
The Red Maple base is directly protected by several mountains. Their base is tightly surrounded by these mountains. After the end of the world, the army took over the place and made some improvements. Afterwards, various modifications were made to make the place impregnable.
Following the direction Zhan Liang pointed, Wang Tao had already seen the mountains and the transformed mountain walls. He suddenly exclaimed:
"There is something!"
Red The location of Maple Base is indeed very good, it is indeed surrounded by several mountains. The mountains here are already very steep and there are many stone mountains, which makes it look very safe.
Then the military made some improvements here, such as blowing up the already steep mountain walls directly so that zombies could not climb up; for example, those steep mountain walls were also filled with various kinds of things. Spikes and broken blades, even if there are zombies who have the ability to climb up, they may be stuck and unable to climb up at all. Even powerful zombies cannot shake such a high mountain... It feels a bit like a paradise.
As you can see from the sky, this base has only two entrances, the front door and the back door. These two gates are made of thick steel. They look more imposing than the gates of Changhe Base, and their defense will definitely not be weak.
As for the space on top of them, there is nothing hidden, it is just exposed.
When Wang Tao asked Zhan Liang if there were any flying zombies going to their base, Zhan Liang was suddenly confused and said:
"Boss, can flying zombies fly so high?"
"..."
Wang Tao forgot that the outer perimeter of this base is not a man-made city wall, but a thousand-meter high mountain! Flying zombies don't fly that high, and Wang Tao has never seen them before.
Because zombies also have a desire to eat. If they fly too high, they will not be able to see the situation on the ground. After all, most zombies have poor eyesight, and they do not have eagles, so they cannot fly higher than mountains.
So again, the location of the Red Maple Base was chosen very well. As for the only drawback, it might be that this base is too small.
After all, this is a city surrounded by mountains, and the space inside is limited. Therefore, the buildings here are basically multi-story structures. From the sky, you can clearly see the stacked houses inside. This is a three-dimensional city.
The golden eagle flew so high that Wang Tao could only see some buildings, but nothing closer could be seen. Flying high is because Wang Tao is afraid that the golden eagle will cause misunderstandings. It would be bad if the red maple base sounds the alarm and some misunderstandings are caused.
So Wang Tao planned to ask the people from the Fire Gang to report first. After all, it was a visit, so it was appropriate to be polite.
At this time, Chen Haolin's car had arrived outside the front door. Since the road back was getting more and more remote, and Wang Tao occasionally took action to clean up enemies, they didn't have to worry about encountering enemies that they couldn't deal with on the way, so they returned home faster than ever this time.
With a rumbling sound, the door opened. Chen Haolin's car immediately drove in.
Not long after, Wang Tao saw someone waving a red flag on a building near the base gate. This was a secret signal between Chen Haolin and Wang Tao, indicating that he had notified the base that a guest was arriving on a golden eagle. The base would not immediately sound the alarm or launch any attack on Wang Tao, allowing Wang Tao to land with peace of mind. "Go down."
Chirp——
The golden eagle landed slowly.
Wang Tao has already seen that a troop has gathered at the gate. There are not many of them, but they are all brightly dressed. They are obviously not here to fight, but to greet them.
In addition to this army, many cars can be seen driving towards the door. This should be people from other forces getting the news.
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, because the news was conveyed a bit quickly! In just a few minutes, the news of his arrival seemed to have spread throughout the Red Maple Base.
You know, electronic equipment cannot be used now. If they can react so quickly, they should have other communication channels.
As the golden eagle landed, the onlookers below finally saw the golden eagle, and all of them suddenly exclaimed. Especially when they felt the undisguised aura of a fifth-level lord on the golden eagle, they almost wanted to worship. .
Obviously, they have never seen such a big and powerful mutant beast, let alone anyone who can subdue such a mutant beast.
In the end, the golden eagle landed on the top of the mountain because it was too big, and the space in this base was very compact. When the base was built, we did not expect that there would be such a huge mutant beast. When I arrived, the only open spaces were still crowded with onlookers, leaving the golden eagle with no place to stay. It's okay to park on the mountain. There are people on duty here, and there are also stairs and elevators connecting the base.
"There is also an elevator? What is it powered by?"
After Wang Tao jumped off the golden eagle, he looked at the things that looked like outdoor elevators not far away. I was suddenly curious.
"Is this considered bioenergy? Anyway, it uses a special vine to control the lifting..."
Zhan Liang scratched his head and said.
He doesn’t know much about this aspect, so long as it works, he won’t worry about the principles. After all, there are specialties in the art. He is a combatant, mainly fighting and collecting supplies.
"To be able to build such a large base, you really need two tools."
Wang Tao nodded silently.
At this time, from Wang Tao's angle, he happened to see an elevator rising. There were several dark green vines on the top of the elevator. These vines were squirming rapidly. They were obviously the ones pulling the elevator up, but the speed of its rise was just too fast. It's very fast, not very even, and a little wobbly... I guess this experience isn't very good.
Boom!
Although the elevator had springs for shock absorption, the elevator still hit the mechanism reserved on the mountain wall visibly to the naked eye.
Click——
The elevator door was opened manually from the inside, and a group of people walked out, some holding their heads and some holding their waists.
This is not their first time riding this thing, but each time they have a different and uncomfortable experience.
After all, if you expect these less flexible creatures to be as strict as machines, that is impossible. It is good enough to make them work obediently, and you cannot ask for too much.
"Hello, Mr. Wang! Welcome to the Red Maple Base!"
This group of people is still some distance away from Wang Tao, but the leader has already extended his hand with a smile on his face." I am Xiang Bo, the mayor of Hongfeng Base..."
The mayor of Hongfeng Base is a kind-faced, slightly fat, middle-aged man. He looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact it is nothing. Combat strength - he is only at level three, not even an awakener.
That basically confirms that he, the mayor, is an agent. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be impossible to control the entire Hongfeng base. The people around him were not very strong, not even an awakened one.
"Hello, I am Wang Tao." Wang Tao reached out and shook his hand, and then briefly introduced Ding Yuqin and others, "This is my companion..."
"Hello everyone ! This is..."
Xiang Bo also introduced some people around him, who are all managers of the Hongfeng Base City Hall.
After both parties got to know each other, Xiang Bo and his party all looked at the golden eagle, with curiosity that could not be concealed in their eyes. He immediately asked:
"Mr. Wang, this is your mount? It has to be at level five, right?"
Xiang Bo is only at level three, and his perception of the Golden Eagle's strength is not very clear. He only knows that it is very strong and is better than him. All the zombies and monsters I have ever seen are stronger. Of course, he has basically been working in the base since he came here, and he hasn't seen too many enemies since then. Their base is in the mountains, just like a paradise, and there are usually no enemies.
“Fifth level lord.”
Wang Tao didn’t hide it either.
“Hiss——”
Even though Xiang Bo and his party had received news about Chen Haolin, they still felt a little unreal when they heard Wang Tao's admission in person.
After all, the mounts are all fifth-level lords. How strong must Wang Tao be? Could it be level six? Does anyone really get promoted so quickly? There is currently no sixth level in their base...
"Mr. Wang, how about I take you for a walk in our base... As for your partner, he may not have a place to stay, so he can only stay here. But I can provide a lot of food..."
Xiang Bo scratched his head and said.
“Don’t worry about it, it has something to eat.”
Wang Tao left some nutrient solution for the golden eagle.
"Okay! Then please follow me..."
