Chapter 553 Chaotic Silver Snake Base

call--

After Shen Cuishan left, Wang Tao called the golden eagle and flew back to the Changhe base again.

"Planting awakening fruit trees?"

Gu Yun didn't expect Wang Tao to come back so soon, and brought back the corpse of a catastrophic zombie and an awakening seed!
"Well, let's plant it first."

Wang Tao asked Gu Yun to find a suitable location, throw the still burning zombie body to the ground, and then put the awakening seed in the body. Soon, the flames on the zombie body became weaker and weaker, and at the same time, a countdown appeared in front of Wang Tao.

[Countdown to the maturity of the Awakening Fruit: 2:23 on the 59th]

Seeing the countdown appear, Wang Tao was relieved. This proved that even a corpse that was constantly burning with flames could still allow the awakening seeds to take root and sprout.

However, this time the countdown shows 3 days.

The awakening fruit grown from a 7th-order disaster-level corpse takes 5 days to mature; the fruit grown from a 3th-order disaster-level corpse takes days; and the fruit grown from a th-order disaster-level corpse only takes days... So, the higher the fertilizer level, the faster it matures? It makes sense.

After planting the awakening seeds, Wang Tao called Qu Shilin over. Qu Shilin would definitely be very interested in this kind of thing.

Sure enough, Qu Shilin was very excited when she arrived. She could take this opportunity to study the awakening tree carefully!
Wang Tao gave Qu Shilin and Gu Yun some instructions and talked about the summoning altar.

"More than a hundred people died...Summon the altar!"

Several people looked very unhappy.

These more than one hundred people are only the ones Wang Tao has seen so far. There may have been many more people before Wang Tao saw them. It is estimated that the number is no less than the number of people sacrificed at the Mammoth Base.

"It's so damned!"

Gu Yun clenched his fists tightly.

"Anyway, you have to pay more attention to this matter. There must be more than just these two summoning altars. Maybe one will appear here too..."

"understand!"

After finishing the instructions, it was already dark. Wang Tao slept at home and left Changhe Base again the next day on a Golden Eagle.

Since the target this time was the Silver Snake Base and there were no accidents on the way, it didn't take Wang Tao much time to reach the vicinity of the Silver Snake Base.

I had heard about the Silver Snake Base before, and today I finally saw it. However, this Silver Snake Base was a little different from what Wang Tao had imagined.

He originally thought that the Silver Snake Base was a place similar to the Changhe Base - a super-large survivor base built on a flat land. But in reality, this was not the case. The Silver Snake Base was built inside a mountain.

If you come from outside the mountain, it is difficult to find the exact location of the Silver Snake Base without a guide. Even if you look from the sky, you can't find it at a glance - because the mountains are covered with huge evergreen trees, which cover the mountains tightly. Coupled with the endless snow, it is really difficult to find the Silver Snake Base at a glance.

However, it is an extra-large survivor base after all, and it is difficult to hide it completely under normal circumstances. Wang Tao quickly found the location of the Silver Snake Base.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Wang Tao jumped off the golden eagle in advance and let the golden eagle play by itself again.

After falling into the forest, Wang Tao couldn't help but be amazed at the towering trees.

"What kind of trees are these? They look so majestic. These trees can actually block the wind and snow... No wonder the Silver Snake Base was built here!"

After entering the forest, Wang Tao clearly felt that the cold wind was much weaker, the temperature seemed to be a little higher, and even the snow on the ground was much less than other places.

"It's a bit like... a mutant species of pine tree?"

Jiang Shixue said a little uncertainly.

The leaves of these trees are needle-shaped like those of pine trees, but while pine needles are straight, the leaves of these trees are twisted and very thick, looking like countless snakes!
If it is matched with white snow, it looks like countless white snakes. Could this be how the Silver Snake Base got its name?
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were talking in low voices as they slowly came to the gate of the Silver Snake Base as if they were on a picnic.

As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. The wall of the Silver Snake Base is made up of this kind of trees, including living trees, dead trees, and processed trees. Together, they protect the Silver Snake Base.

Although this kind of wall is not as tall and majestic as the Changhe Base, it can also block zombies. Wang Tao clearly saw that there were many scratches from zombies in these corners.

Arriving at the gate, the place became lively. Wang Tao then discovered that there was a road down the mountain, and even cars could drive there.

Others were a little surprised to see such a strange combination of "a big guy, a little girl and a dog" walking out of the mountains.

"Is this... a newcomer?"

"It's a bit like no one brought it with them, so I found it on my own... There's something there!"

"Shall I go and say hello? I think I see a business opportunity..."

"That big guy doesn't look like someone you want to mess with, so don't mess with him."

"Hey! I haven't seen this kind of newcomers who found themselves for a long time. Since they are able to find this place, they must have a lot of good things in their bags..."

"Compared to his not-so-big backpack, I'm more interested in his body. With such a big body, he should be able to fetch a good price! Of course, the little girl next to him is not bad either. Such a pretty little girl must sound very sweet when she cries..."

"..."

Wang Tao had very good hearing, and those people's whispers sounded as if they were spoken in Wang Tao's ears. In addition, when he saw that many people looked at him with ill intentions, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

As expected of the chaotic Silver Snake Base, such dirty things could be discussed openly at the gate. And other people didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it. Occasionally, someone would cast a sympathetic look at Wang Tao, but that was all. Obviously, they had gotten used to it or were numb to it.

At this time, a modified off-road vehicle roared to the gate, and several fully armed and burly men got out of the car. Among them was a short-haired woman wearing a tight leather jacket and dressed very heroically.

"Get out, get out, you bunch of scum! You're trying to trick the newbies again! Get out!"

The woman had a medium-sized scar on her eyebrow. Under normal circumstances, it did not affect her appearance, but when she got angry, the scar twisted like a snake, which made people feel creepy.

The group of people who were criticizing Wang Tao just now seemed to be very afraid of this woman. They just left when she told them to leave, and didn't even dare to say a harsh word.

"Hello, my name is Dong Li! Welcome to the Silver Snake Base!"

The woman strode up to Wang Tao, laughed and stretched out her hand.

"Hello, my name is Wang Tao."

Wang Tao and Dong Li shook hands briefly, and Wang Tao could feel the thick calluses on Dong Li's palms.

This woman is a fourth-order system awakener. On paper, her strength does not seem as good as Shen Cuishan's, but she should have rich combat experience. If she fights with Shen Cuishan, it is hard to say who will be stronger.

"Is this your first time at the Silver Snake Base? The Silver Snake Base is huge and it's easy to get lost. There are also various forces intertwined inside and it's easy to offend people... How about I take you in and be your guide? Of course, it's free, but only for the first time. If you need anything later or encounter any trouble, you can contact me, but then I'll charge you. Especially for settling troubles, the price is not cheap!" Dong Li smiled and handed over a very ordinary business card. In addition to the two words "Dong Li" on it, there was also a number.

Wang Tao took the business card and was a little surprised.

Is the productivity of this Silver Snake Base so high? They even have the time to produce business cards, which are useless in the end times.

"Thank you very much."

Wang Tao did not refuse. It was very convenient to have a guide, although this was originally Shen Cuishan's job.

"Haha, please!"

Dong Li took Wang Tao into the gate.

The security check at the Silver Snake Base was not as detailed as that at the Changhe Base, but all aspects were taken into consideration. After checking Wang Tao's eyes, hair, and impurities in his body, and confirming that there was no problem, he was allowed to pass after a simple registration.

Although there was a lot of snow inside the base, the temperature was obviously much warmer than outside. There were even many people setting up stalls and recruiting people at the door. It was very lively. It felt like the end of the world... However, the large number of weapons they carried, the bullets on the stalls, and the bloody unknown beasts made people clearly realize that it was the end of the world.

"You've never seen such a lively scene, have you? Haha, you'll get used to it in the future!"

Dong Li thought that Wang Tao was a person who had never seen the world, but when he talked about this, his face suddenly showed pride.

"It's pretty awesome."

Wang Tao praised.

Before the barrier was opened, Changhe Base was perhaps only as strong as the high-walled Silver Snake Base, and in terms of environment, it could not compare to the Silver Snake Base. After all, the Silver Snake Base had these natural big trees as a barrier, which could block a lot of wind and snow.

"Haha!" Dong Li was even happier after getting Wang Tao's affirmation. "Let me first give you a brief introduction to the Silver Snake Base, starting with the various infrastructures..."

Dong Li brought Wang Tao to a tall wooden sign with a simple map of the entire Silver Snake base drawn on it. Dong Li introduced places like the police station and the hospital.

The highest authority in the entire Silver Snake Base is the parliament. All decisions, big or small, come from the parliament.

But Dong Li also said that the parliament is not a monolithic entity. Its members come from various factions and the intrigues among them are very serious. It has even developed to the point where the parliament is somewhat indifferent to matters - not because it does not want to, but because it cannot, because there are always people making trouble.

Apart from some particularly important matters that require a vote of the entire parliament, the parliament is now like a hands-off boss, dividing up a lot of power, resulting in some people or forces having absolute control in certain areas.

So if you want to survive in the Silver Snake Base, you have to keep your eyes open and never offend the wrong people. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to appeal...

Dong Li kindly reminded Wang Tao of several areas that should not be offended.

The first is the Silver Snake Public Security Administration, which is the legal violent law enforcement agency of the Silver Snake base. In theory, all matters related to public security are under their jurisdiction. If you fall into their hands, you either have to pay a high bail or become a lifelong labor reform prisoner.

The second is the Silver Snake Medical Association. Most of the hospitals in the Silver Snake Base are affiliated with the Silver Snake Medical Association. A large number of healing psychics and awakened people are also registered in the Medical Association. If you provoke the Silver Snake Medical Association, it means that if you are injured or sick, you will not be able to enjoy the medical resources of the Silver Snake Base. At most, you can only linger in some dark black clinics. Of course, you may also "voluntarily" donate valuable organs in your body.

The third is the Silver Snake Food Bureau. As the name implies, this is the place that manages food. The main sources of food for the Silver Snake base are two kinds, one is the mutated tree worms, and the other is the mutated wild rice. Both of these foods are in the hands of the Food Bureau. Although they are both unpalatable, they are things that maintain life signs. Anyone who provokes the Food Bureau may go hungry.

The fourth is the Silver Snake Mission Intelligence Center. This department is the only one with relatively positive reviews. This is where everyone shares intelligence, receives or issues missions. Everyone depends on this for their livelihood. If anyone dares to act wildly here, they will become the enemy of all the psychics and awakened people in the base.

Five is...

Dong Li listed more than a dozen forces that should not be provoked in one breath.

This gave Wang Tao a feeling—no force in the Silver Snake Base could be provoked!

"As for the people you shouldn't mess with... there are even more. I can't explain them clearly at the moment. You should find a place to stay first, and I'll tell you in detail later. Anyway, just remember that you can't mess with all the fifth-level awakeners, the powerful fourth-level awakeners, and the supernatural people with status and background..."

"..."

Wang Tao was speechless. Did he have to act like a coward once he arrived at the Silver Snake base?

However, there is a key point in Dong Li’s words—there are fifth-level awakeners in the Silver Snake Base, and there are more than one or two!
This made Wang Tao frown. The development of Changhe Base was better than that of Silver Snake Base, but apart from Wang Tao and his team, there was only one fifth-level awakener, Cheng Yiyi. And the number of fifth-level awakeners in Silver Snake Base was already quite large?

Unless there is some kind of adventure, it is not easy to become a fifth-level awakener. This makes Wang Tao think of the summoning altar... I hope these fifth-level awakeners have nothing to do with the summoning altar.

Dong Li took Wang Tao to a very clean and cheap hotel with few customers. It only cost one first-level crystal core to stay there for one night. Dong Li sent Wang Tao in and left. She told Wang Tao to contact her if he had any problems. She wanted to make some extra money.

"Okay, let's stay here for two days and get to know this Silver Snake Base better."

Wang Tao smiled and touched Jiang Shixue's hair, then tried to contact Shen Cuishan by radio. They had exchanged contact information before.

Shen Cuishan was in the base, and Wang Tao contacted her quickly.

"Brother Liu, where are you? I'll go find you!"

Shen Cuishan said very attentively that Wang Tao forgot to tell her his real name last time, and she thought Wang Tao's name was Liu Bo.

"I'm at the Wildwind Inn."

Wang Tao said directly.

"...Uh, could it be the Windy Inn on Datong Street?"

Shen Cuishan's tone was a little strange.

"It's here, what's wrong?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

Shen Cuishan rarely answered directly, but quickly asked back:
"Brother Liu, who took you there?"

"A woman named Dong Li."

"..."

Shen Cuishan was silent for a while, then organized her words and said:

"The Windy Inn is a place that is often used to trade foreign people. Entering it means you are a commodity. And Dong Li is the biggest human trafficker in the Silver Snake Base..."

Wang Tao: "..."
