Chapter 535 Other Survivor Bases
Chapter 535 Other Survivor Bases
The next morning, Wang Tao came to the Awakening School.
Those students had been planning to have a good rest for the next few days, but no one was going to rest today because Principal Wang was going to personally select the list of the second batch of awakened personnel today.
They have been struggling in the crack for a month, just for this moment!
The director said that the selection list this time is basically related to the points, and the students with high points are more likely to be selected. But they don't know how many points others have, and the student points ranking list has not yet been released. So they are all looking forward to this opportunity coming to them.
"How many places are there this time?"
"Last time, there were three people, but Principal Wang said that it was his personal reward and had nothing to do with the school. And this time, it's a school reward! So there must be at least five or six people, right?"
"I feel the same way. After all, it is a unified award from the school, so it should be more than Principal Wang's personal award."
"I hope I'll be chosen! I've always had good luck, and I won't waste this opportunity!"
"You are so lucky. If the teacher hadn't saved you the day before yesterday, you would have died. How could you have a chance to compete for the position of Awakener?"
"Doesn't that prove that I'm lucky? Otherwise, how could the teacher just happen to see me in danger and successfully save me?"
"..."
In the school square, many students were whispering.
"Principal Wang is here!"
I don't know who shouted, but the noise disappeared instantly, and everyone looked eagerly at the golden eagle in the sky.
After a night of digestion, they already knew about the golden eagle, the crystal energy poison tree, the barrier, etc. Although these things shocked them, they could not care about them now. They just wanted to know which lucky person would be able to awaken today.
The golden eagle slowly landed on the square. Wang Tao, Gu Yun and others jumped off the eagle's back. They strode to the podium that had been built in advance.
"Dear students, I have seen your performance in the rift for the past month. You are all very good, far beyond my expectations. The purpose of establishing our Awakening School is to give everyone the opportunity to awaken. Therefore, today I will select some students for awakening according to your points and comprehensive performance in the rift!"
Even though Wang Tao had informed them in advance, they were still very excited when they heard Wang Tao's words in person.
"But let me make it clear to everyone in advance that there is a success rate for awakening. The success rate for the first awakening is 50%, so it is naturally a good thing for the students who are selected next to be able to awaken successfully. If you fail, don't be discouraged, there will be another chance next time!"
Wang Tao was afraid that the greater their hopes, the greater their disappointment, so he gave them a shot of prevention in advance.
The students naturally knew that there was a chance of failure in awakening, but many of them subconsciously ignored it, or were unwilling to think about it. Now that they heard Wang Tao personally say this, their excitement suddenly calmed down a lot.
Seeing that the students had calmed down a bit, Wang Tao continued:
"Then I will announce the next name list. Please ask the students whose names are called to come to the stage..."
All the students were excited and came on!
"Kou Wei..."
Wang Tao read out five names in one breath.
Those whose names were called immediately went up to the stage excitedly, while the others whose names were not called were both envious and disappointed. As expected, just as they had guessed, there were only five spots this time.
But before they could communicate, Wang Tao read out five more names.
"Li Wei..."
Huh? There's more!
Suddenly, the crowd was a little excited. There was still one? There were 10 spots this time?
The five people whose names were called this time were a little bit in disbelief, but they still ran onto the stage excitedly.
The other students were envious again, and they even had a little expectation, will there be more?
Wang Tao seemed to know what they were thinking and read out five more names.
"Xu Jian..."
Wow!
This time, the students were completely shocked. There were actually 15 vacancies! However, when they saw that Wang Tao had not put down the list in his hand, they exclaimed in their hearts, no way? Could there be more?
"Yuan Xiaofei..."
Sure enough, Wang Tao read out five more names before putting the list away.
"There are 20 spots in total this time. All students whose names have been called, please come to the stage."
Without Wang Tao's orders, those who were being talked about had already come over.
The other students looked in disbelief.
They thought there might be more places for awakening this time, but they didn't expect so many more! Last time there were only three people, this time there are 20 people!
Principal Wang is too arrogant! Providing 20 people with the opportunity to awaken, how much resources would the awakening school have to spend!
Even the 20 people on the stage felt a little embarrassed. They felt that they were not worthy enough... After all, there were only a few awakened people in the entire Changhe base, and they were given 20 places? If they failed to awaken, they would feel ashamed of the cultivation of the base and the school!
Wang Tao probably saw through their thoughts, so he said:
"Don't feel any psychological pressure. This kind of thing depends entirely on luck. There will be many more opportunities in the future anyway..."
After comforting her for a few words, Wang Tao took out the corresponding crystal core and awakening key.
The 20 people this time are all third-level psychics, but their ability levels may not be enough. Wang Tao asked about their specific situation and then took out the corresponding high-quality crystal cores.
These crystal cores were provided by the City Hall, and Wang Tao did not pay for them this time. It was just that the base provided a lot of low-quality crystal cores, and he just took the trouble to synthesize these low-quality crystal cores into high-quality ones.
Actually, although the City Hall provided a lot of crystal cores, a certain percentage of them were obtained by themselves - in this kind of unified action, a portion of the spoils obtained had to be handed over. So this could be considered their own efforts.
After all these people are ready, they will start to merge one by one.
After a while, some people fell asleep excitedly, while others lowered their heads in disappointment.
"Not bad!"
There were 20 people in total, and 13 of them awakened successfully. This was much better than Wang Tao expected.
Wang Tao and Gu Yun were both very satisfied.
"Those who failed to awaken this time, and those who have not been selected, don't be discouraged, there will be another chance next time."
Wang Tao said to the students.
"Excuse me, Principal Wang, when will we go to the rift next time?"
At this time, a student raised his hand and asked.
"Of course, we'll talk about it after you've rested."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"We've rested!"
"Yes, we are well rested, we can go out now!"
"..."
Looking at these students who expressed their desire to leave, Wang Tao was suddenly speechless.
He is not one of those unscrupulous capitalists who exploit others crazily. People are not machines. If they cannot get effective rest, bad things will definitely happen.
"I know everyone's determination to become stronger, but haste makes waste. You should work hard when you should, but you should also rest when you should. You are all the future of our Changhe Base, and the Changhe Base will need your protection in the future. It is not advisable to force things to grow, and sustainable development is the way to go..."
Wang Tao's words also temporarily calmed everyone's excitement. They wanted to awaken, but they were really tired. If they went to the crack in this state, there would definitely be problems... Seeing that the students no longer said they wanted to leave immediately, Wang Tao encouraged them again, then looked at Gu Yun and Pan Jian and said:
"My mission is completed, and the next step is up to you."
Wang Tao came here this time just to see what conditions these people lacked for awakening, and then to supplement them. As for how to arrange the follow-up, that was the job of Gu Yun and Pan Jian.
"Okay, then go and do your work."
Wang Tao left the Awakening School on a Golden Eagle with the students' farewell.
He has been resting at home for two days and today he plans to go to the crack in the Mammoth Base to take a look.
The last time Wang Tao killed the destructive Tian Hua, he wasted a lot of energy, so for the sake of safety, he didn't go exploring. Now that he has recovered and the golden beetle is no longer a problem, he can go exploring.
Tian Hua could find a summoning altar there, so Wang Tao thought there should be other good things there. He also had to save some crystal cores to prepare for his promotion to the sixth level.
After returning home to pick up Jiang Shixue and Lightning, Wang Tao and his group flew towards the direction of the Mammoth Base again.
When he arrived at the Mammoth Base again, Wang Tao did not enter the crack immediately, but searched the nearby area according to the coordinates given to him by Gu Yun.
Some of the survivors of the Mammoth Base had followed Tian Hua a long time ago and had gone through the process of moving from their original base to the crack. Their original base was not too far from the crack, and there were other survivor bases around their original base.
Since Wang Tao came here again, he decided to go and see if there were any living people in the survivors' base.
Gu Yun told him that there were three survivor bases in total, and Wang Tao checked them one by one in order of distance.
The location of the first base was a village.
Although this is a rural area, the original residents here are very wealthy, so the houses and roads in the village are well built, and there is even a river to protect the village. In addition, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few zombies... This is obviously a good place to build a base.
But when Wang Tao arrived here, he was immediately disappointed.
The village was almost buried in the wind and snow. After the golden eagle flapped its wings and blew away some of the snow, Wang Tao saw a large number of frozen zombies below.
This base has already fallen.
However, in order to avoid missing any survivors, Wang Tao jumped off the back of the golden eagle and searched carefully.
The village was not big and was quickly explored. There was not a single living human being, only frozen zombies.
These zombies are not dead, nor have they evolved into frozen zombies. They are just frozen by the low temperature. If the temperature can rise, they will probably come back to life.
In order to avoid future troubles, Wang Tao killed all the zombies directly. In the process, he also found some electronic products such as recorders and mobile phones in some houses. Wang Tao used his information watch to reverse charge these electronic products and found that several of them were still usable. After opening them and seeing and hearing the contents inside, Wang Tao roughly understood how the base fell.
To put it simply, this place was breached from the inside by the zombie virus - most of the bases in the apocalypse fell in this way.
No matter how good the base's geographical location is, how high its defense is, or how strong its personnel are, as long as one infected person enters the base, the countdown to the fall of the base will begin.
Just like this village base, their location is really good, there are not many zombies around, and there are a lot of supplies stored here... In the end times, this can be regarded as a paradise. But during an outing, someone was unfortunately infected. That person probably didn't want to be exiled, so he concealed his infection and returned with a fluke mentality, and no one else found out. As a result, that night, in just less than an hour, the entire base basically fell.
The few remaining survivors knew that it must be the problem with the team that went out today, but it was too late. After leaving their last words, they were also infected. The entire base was completely wiped out.
"Ugh……"
Wang Tao shook his head.
This is how the end of the world is. When it comes to life and death, we cannot expect humans to be self-aware. Strict rules must be established, especially when it comes to entering and leaving the base. There cannot be any laxity. There are too many lessons from the past...
Wang Tao left the village and went to the next survivor base.
The second survivor base was in a funeral home.
This funeral home is very large and in a remote location. There is a cemetery next to it, and few people come here. Some survivors took a fancy to this place and turned it into a doomsday base.
This funeral home was similar to the village just now, still covered in snow, and it didn't look like anyone was living there. But Wang Tao still went down to check it out himself.
"what?"
Wang Tao discovered that there were indeed many signs of human life in this funeral home, but there were no people, no zombies, and no signs of fighting.
"Is this... moved away?"
After searching carefully, Wang Tao touched his chin and muttered to himself.
This survivor base should be the same as the Mammoth Base, which chose to relocate voluntarily.
The reason why the Mammoth Base was relocated was because they ran out of supplies. I don't know what the reason was for this funeral home...
Since there was no one there, Wang Tao did not stay for too long. He boarded the Golden Eagle again and went to the location of the last survivor base.
The last base is located inside a prison.
Prison is indeed a suitable place to build a base. Previously, in Zijing City, a group of people built a base in a prison. Prisons are usually located in remote areas with few people. There are also certain supplies and even weapons in the prison. The most important thing is that as long as the threats inside the prison are cleared, the prison is a relatively safe place. After all, there are high walls and electric fences...
When Wang Tao saw this large prison, his eyebrows immediately raised. Although there was a lot of snow in the prison and it didn't look like there were people, there was some light white steam floating out of the prison!
Zombies can't light fires, there are survivors inside!
Just like the last time he went to the Mammoth Base, Wang Tao let the golden eagle move freely. He jumped down early, walked to the prison door and knocked heavily.
Boom, boom, boom——
There was no movement in the prison.
Wang Tao was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
A moment later, several tightly wrapped figures appeared on the high wall of the prison gate. They held homemade bows and arrows, aiming at Wang Tao vigilantly, and shouted:
"Are you human... or a zombie?"
If you can reply, you are a human being; if you can’t reply, you are a zombie.
Wang Tao nodded directly.
"Of course I am a human, can you let me in?"
"You can come in, but we need to check if you are carrying the zombie virus!"
Several people on the high wall looked at each other, and the man who spoke first spoke again.
"no problem."
Wang Tao nodded again.
A minute later, a small door next to the prison gate opened.
Several survivors with guns came out and looked at Wang Tao vigilantly.
After seeing these survivors, Wang Tao was quite surprised because they all had a badge that was very familiar to him.
"Twilight Church..."
