Chapter 560 Another Priest

After playing the recording back several times, Wang Tao was sure that he had heard it correctly. Among those chaotic voices, someone did say that Zhao Yue, the top expert of the Silver Snake Base, had just returned today.

Wang Tao originally planned to go to the Silver Snake Base after a while, but now he has changed his mind - he will go tomorrow.

"Do you need me to ask?"

Gu Yun beside him asked in a low voice.

"No, don't alert the enemy."

Wang Tao shook his head.

Although he is very strong, it does not mean that he will take it lightly.

It was still unclear what Zhao Yue's specific strength was, but from all indications, he was at least a sixth-order awakener. He might even be one of those seventh-order "gods" who were summoned!
So for safety reasons, Wang Tao did not plan to ask about Zhao Yue's situation now. He also asked the Fifth Corps to keep his whereabouts confidential - the Silver Snake Base inquired about Wang Tao's news, and the Fifth Corps said that Wang Tao left the Changhe Base last month, and now they don't know where Wang Tao is.

When the staff of the Fifth Legion heard from the Silver Snake Base that Wang Tao had gone to their place, they cooperated and expressed their shock.

They are all old foxes and their acting skills are obviously qualified.

Afterwards, the Fifth Army asked the Silver Snake Base many more questions, and their answers were basically the same as what Wang Tao said. They naturally asked a lot of questions, and the Fifth Army's answers were much more detailed than Wang Tao's, and from time to time, bursts of exclamations could be heard from the other side.

They were both super-large survivor bases, but Changhe Base was much stronger than Yinshe Base. Especially when they heard that there was a barrier that could block the wind and snow, and people in the base could move freely, they could feel the envy over the phone line.

The Silver Snake Base made no secret of wanting to visit the Changhe Base, but unfortunately, the weather outside was too bad, coupled with the various dangers in the wild, so a long-distance trip was impossible.

The Silver Snake Base said that they would send people to the Changhe Base for exchanges after the snow stopped.

"It would be great if we could recruit the people from the Silver Snake Base..."

Gu Yun whispered to Wang Tao.

"You have a pretty good idea."

Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

The Silver Snake Base has nearly 400,000 people. Although the Changhe Base can accommodate them, the Golden Eagle has limited capacity and cannot transport so many people. They can only rely on land. It is a pipe dream for so many people to migrate to the Changhe Base by land.

Not to mention, the top leaders of the Silver Snake Base would definitely not be willing. They were of noble status in the Silver Snake Base, but it was different when they came to the Changhe Base. They would definitely not be willing to lose their power and status. It is better to be the head of a chicken than to let go of the tail of a phoenix.

Even if they were willing and the snow stopped, they would be able to carry out this level of migration. However, with so many people outside, their "human smell" would definitely attract a large number of zombies and monsters. At that time, facing the endless tide of zombies, no matter how many people there were, they would not be able to withstand it...

Therefore, Gu Yun is dreaming.

"Alas... I know it's almost impossible, but when I think about the fact that so many people are still living in dire straits, I feel sad!"

Gu Yun sighed.

If all these people come to Changhe Base, the development of Changhe Base will get a qualitative improvement!
People in the last days are worthless, but they are also valuable. It all depends on the environment. For the Changhe Base today, humans are precious wealth.

As for whether those people would develop some bad habits after staying in the chaotic land for too long, there was no need to worry. The environment would change everything, and the laws of the Changhe Base were still very strict...

Wang Tao suddenly said:
“But then again, if Zhao Yue really has some ulterior motives towards the Silver Snake Base, then Ge Fuxing and the others can basically be considered dead, and it will be difficult for the sacrifice to escape the fate of being sacrificed. The top leaders of the Silver Snake Base may be wiped out, and the entire base will be leaderless and fall into chaos... Perhaps you can prepare in advance and go to the Silver Snake Base to preside over the work..."

"...That makes sense!"

Although we cannot let people from the Silver Snake Base come here, it is possible if we can indirectly control the Silver Snake Base.

Even if Wang Tao guessed wrong, there would be no problem in being prepared.

Gu Yun immediately went to work. If it was really as Wang Tao speculated, then he would have to send someone to take over the Silver Snake Base. Such a good base couldn't be in chaos forever.

……

The next day.

Wang Tao left Changhe Base early in the morning on a Golden Eagle.

In addition to Jiang Shixue, Lightning, and the two little minks, Wang Tao also brought Lan Yulian along.

Lan Yulian was still outside, and Wang Tao brought her back last night.

There might be a big battle this time, and without knowing the specific strength of the opponent, it is necessary to make more preparations. With Lan Yulian, a fifth-level nurse, Wang Tao's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.

"Although there may be a big battle, I'm inexplicably looking forward to it..."

On the back of the golden eagle, Lan Yulian leaned in Wang Tao's arms and spoke.

Wang Tao stroked her long hair and grinned.

"Maybe because you fought with me?"

"Now that you mention it...it seems to be true!"

Lan Yulian suddenly realized.

Since Wang Tao's strength has improved, it seems that she is no longer needed. Although this is a good thing, proving that Wang Tao is getting stronger, she feels a little disappointed. Now that she is with Wang Tao again, the feeling of fighting side by side has returned.

Wang Tao smiled, shook his head, and kissed Lan Yulian on the forehead.

"We're almost there—huh?"

Wang Tao was just about to tell Lan Yulian that they were almost at the Silver Snake Base, but before he could finish his words, his walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

"Zizi..."

The golden eagle was not flying too high, so all the electronic equipment Wang Tao carried with him could be used normally.

Hearing the buzzing sound from the intercom, Wang Tao suddenly became curious. He asked the golden eagle to fly slower to see who was contacting him.

After the golden eagle circled in the sky for a while, a human voice was finally heard on the intercom.

"Zizi... the sun... is shining in the sky... Zizi..."

"Is it him? Xiao Jin, fly east."

After hearing the words on the intercom, Wang Tao immediately asked Xiao Jin to fly to Feisha Lake Prison.

When he left Feisha Lake Prison, he left a radio for the prison leader Liu Bo, asking him to contact him if he had any problems, although he might not be able to receive it.

"The sun is shining in the sky" is the secret code. Wang Tao doesn't need to answer, he can just go over.

Wang Tao briefly explained the reason to Lan Yulian.

"There is actually a Church of Twilight here..."

Lan Yulian was a little surprised. Isn't the reach of the Twilight Church too long?

The Changhe Base and the Silver Snake Base are several hundred kilometers apart. If it weren't for Wang Tao, the people in the two bases might not know the existence of each other. But the Twilight Church has reached out to both places at the same time... The strength of the Twilight Church seems to be a bit beyond expectations!
"When I first learned about the Church of Twilight, I was just as surprised as you."

Wang Tao shook his head.

He also had no idea why the Twilight Church appeared here. Although he had eradicated the Twilight Church in the Changhe Base, it was still a mystery to him, and he had no idea how they had expanded here in this apocalyptic environment...

While the two were talking, the golden eagle had already flown to the vicinity of Feisha Lake Prison.

Wang Tao was not quite sure what was going on with Liu Bo, so he jumped off the golden eagle in advance and walked to the gate of Feisha Lake Prison.

"anyone there?"

Wang Tao just yelled.

After a moment, pairs of eyes appeared on the high walls of the prison. One of them looked familiar: it was Liu Bo.

"Open the door!"

Liu Bo shouted quickly, and the small door of the prison opened.

Wang Tao walked in with Lan Yulian, Jiang Shixue and Lightning.

"Si--Mr. Wang, you are finally here!"

Liu Bo subconsciously wanted to call Wang Tao "Master Priest", but Wang Tao was accompanied by a beautiful woman he had never seen before, and he was not sure whether Wang Tao was willing to reveal his identity, so he immediately changed his words. It must be said that Liu Bo is quite smart.

Wang Tao saw that Liu Bo was fine and there was no fighting happening here, so he smiled and said:

"We are all family." "Yes, Master Priest!"

Liu Bo saluted again, then quickly brought Wang Tao and others to the conference room. He spoke nervously.

"Master Priest, my boss - oh no, my former boss is here to see me!"

"Hmm? The senior priest? When?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

"He came here yesterday! After he left, I have been trying to contact you via radio. What do you think I should do?..."

Liu Bo had a sad face.

After Wang Tao discovered that Liu Bo was a member of the Church of Dusk, he pretended to be a senior priest of the Church of Dusk and wanted to inquire about the situation of the Silver Snake Base.

At that time, Liu Bo's Feisha Lake base was facing a survival crisis - there were level 6 zombies near the base. If they were discovered by the zombies, their base would definitely be destroyed. And he hadn't contacted his boss for a long time since the heavy snow, and he thought his boss should be dead, so he had no way to ask for help.

Just when he was getting extremely anxious, Wang Tao came.

Wang Tao helped Liu Bo a lot by dealing with the zombies, so Liu Bo changed his allegiance and joined Wang Tao.

But unexpectedly, his former boss was still alive and well and suddenly came to find him.

This made Liu Bo panic. Even if he hadn't done anything to offend his boss, it was a taboo to seek refuge with someone else while his boss was still alive. If his boss knew about this, he would be in trouble.

So Liu Bo wanted to contact Wang Tao. If Wang Tao helped him, he could still save his life. But he was afraid that Wang Tao didn't want to offend his boss because of fear or other reasons. If that was the case, he would really die! Not only was he finished, but the entire Feisha Lake base might also be finished...

"He came here in person this time? Did you say you were joining me?"

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

Liu Bo had said before that his boss always sent someone to the designated location to meet him and almost never came to see him in person. Liu Bo had only had close contact with his boss once.

Liu Bo quickly explained:
"Yes, he came in person! He said the environment outside was too bad and his messengers couldn't come... I didn't reveal any information about you, otherwise he would have beaten me to death on the spot!"

"Then why did he come to see you?"

Wang Tao was a little curious.

"He, he said..."

When asked this question, Liu Bo's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"

"Yes! But... Ahem, Mr. Priest, let me make it clear in advance, this is what he really told me, I didn't make it up - he told me that he has seen my efforts during this period, and he is very pleased. So he plans to promote me to junior priest, saying that there will be a good opportunity waiting for me in the future, as long as I do it well, the junior priest situation will be secure... This is what he really said, I didn't make it up on purpose for promotion and salary increase!"

At the end, Liu Bo looked at Wang Tao with some trepidation.

He was afraid that Wang Tao would mistakenly think that he was trying to get promoted in a roundabout way.

Wang Tao's mental power is comparable to a lie detector. He can feel that although Liu Bo is nervous, he did not lie about this matter.

"Does a senior priest have the right to promote someone to a junior priest..." Wang Tao thought to himself. Although he pretended to be a senior priest, he was not clear about the twists and turns involved.

But this is not the point. The point is that Liu Bo’s boss said that a good opportunity is waiting for Liu Bo.

"What is 'fortune'?"

Wang Tao asked immediately.

"I don't know about that. He didn't elaborate. He just told me to wait at home and said he would contact me in a few days..."

Liu Bo scratched his head.

He also wanted to know what kind of good fortune it was, but his boss's aura was too strong, which made him feel a little scared, so he didn't dare to ask.

Compared to that terrifying boss, he still felt that Wang Tao was more approachable...plus, Wang Tao did save the entire Feisha Lake base at that time, so he was more inclined to follow Wang Tao.

"Then describe your boss in detail."

Wang Tao thought for a while and said.

He couldn't get any important information from Liu Bo, so he could only see if he could find the priest.

"He was very thin and frail, about 1.7 meters tall, and looked a little fragile. But his aura was very terrifying. I couldn't even stand up straight in front of him..."

"Is that right?"

Wang Tao suddenly interrupted Liu Bo and released the aura of a fifth-level awakener.

Liu Bo was startled, and immediately said after he reacted:
“Yeah, yeah, not much feeling!”

It seems that this priest is at least a fifth-level awakener.

Wang Tao returned to normal, Liu Bo took a deep breath and continued to explain.

"...His voice was very hoarse, like the sound of glass being rubbed, and it sounded very uncomfortable. I didn't see his face... Oh, by the way, there was a deep wound on the back of his right hand that was so deep that the bone could be seen, and it seemed to have been bleeding..."

Liu Bo continued to talk until he felt that there was nothing more to say. Then Wang Tao spoke:
"Okay, I've got it. He should be back at the Silver Snake Base. I'll go meet him. You just wait here for my news."

He was just about to go to the Silver Snake Base to meet Zhao Yue, and by the way, he could try to find this priest.

"Yes……"

Li Bo moved his lips and wanted to say something more, but in the end he said nothing. He could only choose to believe Wang Tao.

After Wang Tao left the prison, he went to a ruin and retrieved the car that Ge Fuxing had given him.

"The car can still be driven..."

Wang Tao hit the car a few times, turning it into a battle-damaged version. Then he waved.

"boarding."

Several people got in the car and staggered towards the Silver Snake Base.

Not long after, Wang Tao arrived outside the Silver Snake Base again.

At this time, there were quite a few vehicles outside the Silver Snake Base, but they were lined up on both sides of the road, and there were fully armed soldiers blocking the gate.

"Hmm? Can't we go in?"

Wang Tao got off the car and was about to ask.

The soldiers suddenly made way for the road and several off-road vehicles drove out of the base.

"Huh? Mr. Wang?"

In one of the cars, Ge Fuxing saw Wang Tao and was suddenly confused.

"stop!"

Ge Fuxing immediately stopped the convoy and got out of the car quickly.

"Mr. Wang, didn't you go home? Why are you back again?"

Before Wang Tao had time to say the excuse he had prepared, Ge Fuxing immediately said:

"But you've come at the right time. Our base's top expert is back! Come, come, let me introduce him to you..."

At this time, other people also got off the car and walked over. Many of them knew Wang Tao, and they were obviously surprised.

Among this group of people, walking in front was a thin, not very tall man with an ordinary face.

"This is the top expert of our Silver Snake Base - Zhao Yue, Mr. Zhao!" Ge Fuxing brought Wang Tao to the man and said, "Mr. Zhao, this is Wang Tao, the expert I told you about yesterday!"

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Zhao Yue raised his head, smiled and stretched out his hand.

His right hand was wrapped in a bandage, with a little bit of bright red blood seeping out of the bandage.
