Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 556: The Fifth Level of Taking a Shortcut
Everyone was stunned.

Lu An is a fifth-level awakener. Even if he was promoted yesterday, he is still a genuine fifth-level awakener! But he was kicked away by someone...

But the people present were not stupid, and almost no one thought it was luck. It was a crushing of strength - Lu An was crushed by the big guy! The other party was definitely a fifth-level awakener, and he was also very strong among the fifth-level ones!
The reason why I said "almost" is because the person involved, Lu An, did not feel that he was crushed. Or rather... he was unwilling to believe it.

He had finally been promoted to the fifth level, and he hadn't had time to enjoy it yet... He didn't want to believe that he was defeated by someone in one move. In addition, although he was kicked away, Wang Tao didn't reveal his aura. He couldn't feel Wang Tao's true strength, and he himself didn't suffer any injuries, so he thought he was careless, and this big guy was just lucky!

"court death!"

Lu An roared, emerged from the broken wall, and rushed towards Wang Tao again.

This made Wang Tao frown. He just came to teach Dong Li a lesson and show his strength. He didn't want to kill anyone. After all, killing people would not drop any loot packages.

But this fat guy obviously didn't know what was good for him, and he just walked right into his own sword! He didn't really think that the fifth level was the same as the fifth level, did he?
Wang Tao was not a murderous person, so he decided to give Lu An another chance.

then--

boom!
Lu An was kicked away again, and even flew out of the hole in the wall very accurately.

No one had seen it before, but this time everyone was prepared and saw clearly that Lu An was indeed kicked away in a simple and unpretentious manner.

If the first time was really luck, then the second time, even though Lu An was prepared, he was still kicked away in such a humiliating way. This can no longer be explained by luck.

This big guy is indeed much stronger than Lu An.

"Damn, damn it!"

Lu An's face and even his entire body began to turn red, which was due to anger.

So insulting!
This was supposed to be his chance to show off, but he ended up becoming a stepping stone?
It's simply too much!

However, Lu An also understood at this time that the other party was indeed stronger than him in terms of hard power!

After all, he had just been promoted to the fifth level, and his combat experience was not very sufficient, so he could not compare with those old fifth-level players. So Lu An shouted directly:
"Everyone, go ahead and kill him!"

He himself might not be the opponent of this big guy, but the big guy came to the wrong place. Today is his promotion dinner, and all the people here are his! There are 6 fifth-level awakeners including him! Add in a large number of fourth-level awakeners, and they can definitely take down this big guy!

But what Lu An didn't expect was that after he yelled, no one came forward. Whether it was his so-called friends or those who licked him in various ways, they were all silent at this time.

Nourishes—

Lu An, who was originally rushing towards Wang Tao, braked immediately.

If no one goes up, then if he goes up, he will undoubtedly be humiliated again, and he doesn't want to be kicked around again.

"you--"

Lu An looked at the others, with some anger and confusion in his eyes.

It's useless for me, a fifth-level awakener, to talk to the director of the Food Bureau, right?
At this time, among the several fifth-level awakeners who had been watching the show, a bald middle-aged man in formal attire said with a smile:

"This friend should be from outside, right? There may be some misunderstandings between us. Don't worry, we can talk slowly..."

No one is a fool, especially these fifth-order awakeners, who clearly know how destructive the fifth-order awakeners are. If they clash with Wang Tao at this time, then the others will be in trouble.

And most importantly, they couldn’t see how strong Wang Tao was… The higher the position, the more afraid of death they were. What if they got hurt and someone else took their place?
The conflict between Lu An and Wang Tao could be said to be a personal grudge between the two of them. If other people got involved, then it would be a grudge between Wang Tao and the Silver Snake Base, which would be difficult to resolve...

In general, Wang Tao's strength was too strong. They felt that the cost of conflicting with Wang Tao was too high and not worth it. A peaceful solution would be best. And from Wang Tao's appearance, he didn't seem to know Lu An, so it might really be a misunderstanding...

Looking at the middle-aged man, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

He originally thought that these people would attack together, and he wanted to test the strength of others, but he didn't expect them to be so rational.

Did I just show too much strength?
"who are you?"

Wang Tao asked directly.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ge Fuxing, the president of the Silver Snake Medical Association."

Ge Fuxing subconsciously wanted to shake hands with Wang Tao, but when he thought of the current situation, he quickly stopped.

Although he was stronger than Lu An, he was not much stronger. If Wang Tao attacked him, his fate would probably be similar to Lu An's, so it was better to be cautious.

"Wang Tao."

Wang Tao also generously said his name.

He also took a look at Ge Fuxing's attributes.

[Health Volume: 200000/200000]

[Blue amount: 100000/100000]

[Level: Level 5]

[Impurities in the body: 88%]

[Awakening: Strong]

Judging from the data alone, the strength of these fifth-level awakeners seems to be quite strong, as they all have around 20 HP.

But their awakenings are quite ordinary, they are all very common system awakenings.

And most importantly, the impurities in their bodies are ridiculously high. Ge Fuxing’s body has 88% impurities!

Lu An, who was promoted just yesterday, also has 82% impurities in his body. Among these fifth-level awakeners, the one with the most impurities in his body is a bald muscular man, with as much as 95%!

This is obviously abnormal, and Wang Tao has seen this situation before - the strength obtained through summoning the altar will have so many impurities in the body!
So it is obvious that these fifth-level awakeners all gained their strength through sacrifice!
No wonder there are so many fifth-order awakeners in the Silver Snake Base. It is indeed related to the summoning altar. And it seems that it is not the summoning altar that can summon the God of Fire, but other summoning altars!
Wang Tao's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed in his heart.

In fact, he really hoped that these people's strengths were obtained through their own efforts, rather than taking shortcuts. What a pity...

"I just arrived in your place and thought I could make some friends, but I didn't expect to be auctioned off as merchandise by human traffickers... Is this how you treat guests?"

Wang Tao looked at everyone with a smile.

"Uh……"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

No, the human traffickers abducted a fifth-order awakener? Is this true?

However, if this fifth-level awakener did not reveal his true strength, then it is indeed possible. After all, human traffickers don't care about that. As long as they are outsiders, even if they are awakened, they will be targeted by them!

And the human traffickers here... everyone subconsciously looked at the woman who had just hidden behind Lu An.

Dong Li, the biggest human trafficker in the Silver Snake Base!
No wonder Wang Tao targeted Dong Li right from the start. Lu An was also unlucky. Not only did he block the knife for Dong Li, but he was also severely humiliated.

When Lu An heard what Wang Tao said, his face suddenly changed. It turned out that this person was not deliberately making trouble, but Dong Li provoked someone else first, and he became a shield! The most important thing is that he hasn't blocked it yet!

The more Lu An thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wanted to kill Dong Li and Wang Tao.

At this time, Dong Li was very panicked. She had never thought that the person she picked up at the door today turned out to be a fifth-level awakener, and a fifth-level awakener with such strong strength!
If she had known this would happen, she would not have dared to do this even if she had ten thousand courage!
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Dong Li was so scared that she subconsciously wanted to hide behind Lu An again. After all, this was Lu An's promotion banquet, and Lu An had just molested her in public... So, Lu An should protect her, right? Puff!

Dong Li had just hidden behind Lu An when she suddenly felt a pain in her chest.

A fat hand inserted into her chest and directly crushed her heart. A large amount of blood spurted out and Lu An was instantly covered in blood.

"you……"

Dong Li's eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness.

It was the same hand that had just been wandering freely on her body, but now it directly crushed her heart... Why was it so cruel!

Dong Li wanted to curse out loud, but the light in her eyes gradually faded.

thump--

Dong Li fell to the ground, covered in blood.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to happen... Are you satisfied with the outcome?"

Ge Fuxing looked at Wang Tao with a smile. Facing Lu An's sudden killing, there was no fluctuation in his expression, as if the person who died was not a person, but a chicken.

Lu An's expression was still not very good. He actually didn't want to kill Dong Li. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to do it, but killing Dong Li would mean that he would bow down in front of everyone, and this loss would be in vain!

But if he didn't kill Dong Li, there was no way to resolve the conflict... Although he wanted to kill Wang Tao, he now understood that no one wanted to conflict with Wang Tao. If he insisted on fighting Wang Tao, no one would help him. At this time, he could only take the initiative to step back, otherwise it would only be more embarrassing.

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised to see Lu An so decisive.

After all, he is not a big villain, and it is impossible for him to fight with others for no reason. I wanted to take this opportunity to teach Lu An a lesson again... This is not giving him a chance.

Seeing that Wang Tao didn't speak, Ge Fuxing thought that Wang Tao was still not satisfied, so he said:
"Although Dong Li's actions cannot represent the Silver Snake Base, she is a member of the Silver Snake Base after all, and the incident happened at the Silver Snake Base, so we still have a certain responsibility. We will compensate Mr. Wang for his mental damages, and please don't blame Mr. Wang Tao..."

I have to say that Ge Fuxing is more capable than Lu An.

Of course, if Wang Tao did not demonstrate his strength, that would be another matter.

"That's fine."

Now that things have come to this, Wang Tao couldn't say anything more.

He came here mainly to show his strength and to get in touch with the top leaders of the Silver Snake Base. Now that his goal has been achieved, there is no need to keep chasing him.

"Haha, you are a guest from afar. We can take advantage of Director Lu's dinner to apologize to Mr. Wang first. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

Ge Fuxing said hurriedly again.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Although their meeting with Wang Tao was somewhat unpleasant, they were all human beings after all and were in the same camp. Wang Tao was so powerful that they definitely wanted to get to know him. If they could win him over to the Silver Snake Base, it would be even better.

Wang Tao nodded to show his agreement.

Ge Fuxing called the staff and asked them to patch up the hole in the wall and clean up the bodies and blood in the hall, and the banquet continued.

The protagonist of this banquet was originally the Director of the Grain Bureau, Lu An, but now it has become the newcomer Wang Tao. Without the tense atmosphere, many people are curious about Wang Tao...

"Mr. Wang, and this lady and... the dog, please take a seat!"

Wang Tao naturally did not come alone, Jiang Shixue and Lightning were also with him. However, just now everyone's eyes were on him, and no one paid attention to Jiang Shixue and Lightning.

As for those who were controlled by him and Zombie Snow, they were still in the hotel. Without Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue's control, they would recover in no time, but it was hard to say whether they would have any sequelae after recovery...

Ge Fuxing invited Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue to the table, and even moved a chair for Lightning. Although in their eyes, Lightning was just an ordinary military dog, after all, he was brought by Wang Tao and could not be ignored.

"Where did Mr. Wang come from?"

After taking a seat, Ge Fuxing asked curiously.

Everyone at their table immediately looked at Wang Tao. People at other tables also pricked up their ears. Wang Tao was so powerful, he shouldn't be from a small base, right? Could there be other large bases?

"Changhe Base."

Wang Tao said directly.

"Changhe Base?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion; they had never heard of this name.

"Changhe Base? I've never heard of it... I only know there is a Changhe City in Xizhou Province..."

Ge Fuxing muttered to himself.

"It's there."

Wang Tao nodded.

"Hiss—so far away!"

Seeing Wang Tao nod, Ge Fuxing took a breath of cold air.

Although they are fifth-level awakeners, the scope of their exploration in the apocalypse is not large, and the distance they move is not too far.

It's a distance of several hundred kilometers, and it's not certain whether they can make it even with their current strength.

Shen Cuishan sat on the other side of Wang Tao. She already knew that "Liu Bo" was a fake name. Now she was shocked to hear that Wang Tao came from such a faraway place. No wonder he had such strong strength. Without some strength, he couldn't have come here!
"So your base was...destroyed?"

Ge Fuxing asked tentatively.

If the base had not been destroyed, he would not understand why Wang Tao came all the way here. But if the base was really destroyed, then Wang Tao would be someone he could fight for!

Although he had never fought with Wang Tao, he felt that Wang Tao's fighting ability should be similar to the strongest in their base. If he could get Wang Tao to join the Silver Snake Base, it would be of great benefit to the entire base and to him personally.

But when Wang Tao heard this, he was speechless.

"Our base is fine. It's bigger than yours, and has a larger population. I just came out to see if there are other survivor bases. If there are, maybe we can build a communication channel and cooperate in the future. Although I found your Silver Snake base, yours..."

Wang Tao looked disgusted.

"..."

Come out for a walk?

Transferred to a few hundred kilometers away?
This sounds so outrageous.

But there was no need for Wang Tao to lie to them... When they heard Wang Tao say that he wanted to build a communication channel so that they could cooperate in the future, the eyes of several people including Ge Fuxing lit up.

"Well, Mr. Wang, you may have some misunderstandings about our Silver Snake Base. Please allow me to explain..."
