Chapter 621: Base in the Mountains
A base of 800,000 people?

Wang Tao was very surprised. He originally thought that this was a medium-sized base with tens of thousands of people, but he did not expect that this was a super large survivor base with 800,000 people!
This is definitely a pleasant surprise. The more survivors there are, the better it will be for the entire human camp.

As for the Red Maple Base saying "their base is the only human settlement in the world, and their residents are the last batch of humans in the world", this is understandable. One is to create a feeling that they should cherish the base, and the other is that they really haven't found any other survivors' bases. For example, Wang Tao, at the beginning, he had doubts whether all the humans in the world except him were dead...

Anyway, it's a great thing that such a large survivor base has survived until now. I have to talk to Changhe Base later, maybe they can organize some people to exchange ideas...

Wang Tao asked Zhan Liang some more information about the Red Maple Base and gained a general understanding of it.

To put it simply, this is very similar to the Red Maple Base and the Changhe Base. Both were built by the government and managed by the military.

However, the number of soldiers in the Red Maple Base is not as large as that in the Changhe Base. Unlike the Changhe Base, which has six major legions, they only have one military force here. But this is a full-staffed regular force, which is much stronger than the military of the Silver Snake Base.

Therefore, the military has a strong influence in the Red Maple Base. Things like city defense, law enforcement departments, resource departments, etc. are all under the control of the military.

Of course, as the psychics become stronger and stronger, their influence is also gradually expanding. They have formed a psychic business alliance. It is called a business alliance, but in fact, those who understand know that this is an attempt to check and balance the military.

However, the military of the Red Maple Base is different from the military of other places. Wang Tao has seen military forces in many bases before. They are generally conservative and very cautious about the use of things like crystal cores.

The military at the Red Maple Base was different. They seemed to be more adventurous and more farsighted. They had used crystal cores a long time ago. At that time, they used thermal weapons to kill a large number of zombies and obtained a lot of crystal cores. Then they arranged for people to experiment and found that these crystal cores could improve their strength. Finally, they began to use crystal cores extensively, turning many soldiers into superpowers.

The military at the Red Maple Base are actually more like the psychics than the psychics themselves. When other survivors were still hiding at home and worrying about tomorrow's food, they had already begun to appear in large numbers.

Therefore, there are a large number of people with special abilities in the military, and they are all very powerful.

The minor conflicts between them now are not so much conflicts between the military and the psychics as conflicts between veteran psychics and new psychics.

After all, a base is so small, and the resources are limited. The previous generation occupied more, and the later generations naturally had less. As the strength of these later generations increased, they were obviously not satisfied with it.

However, the military of the Red Maple Base was very strong. Even if they did not use any hot weapons and only competed with the strength of the superpowers, the business alliance might not be able to defeat the military. After all, the alliance had different ideas and it was impossible for them to really let down their guard and join forces. The military was united, so the gap naturally emerged.

Of course, Zhan Liang didn't know much about the things between the military and the alliance. These were all public information. As for more secret information, he didn't know. He only knew that everything was going well in the base and it was developing steadily. Even if they didn't come out to find supplies, they wouldn't starve to death. It was just that they couldn't get stronger in the base. If they wanted to get stronger, they had to come out.

The Liehuo Gang that Zhan Liang belongs to is very famous in the Red Maple Base and is one of the top ten forces.

The difference between general forces and top forces lies in whether there are fifth-level awakeners in their forces.

The leader of the Fiery Gang is a fifth-level awakener, and Zhan Liang said that he is very powerful.

As for their team, they are the core members of the Fiery Blaze Gang. After all, they are also awakened at the third or fourth level. Awakened people are very rare in the Red Maple Base and have a high status. They are the kind of people who can violate the rules of the base...

However, when asked how strong the strongest person in their base is, Zhan Liang said that he didn't know how strong the strongest person in the base is, but he is definitely incomparable to Wang Tao! Wang Tao's strength in their Red Maple Base is definitely ranked first!

Wang Tao did not comment on this and did not elaborate.

"The Red Maple Base is just 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 being built inside the mountains.

The only difference is that the Silver Snake Base uses Silver Snake trees as a barrier, and their base is hidden in the mountains.

The Red Maple Base was directly protected by several mountains. Their base was firmly surrounded by these mountains. After the end of the world, the army took over and made some renovations. After that, it went through various renovations and built it into a solid and impregnable place.

Following the direction pointed by Zhan Liang, Wang Tao saw the mountains and the transformed mountain walls, and was immediately amazed:

"There's something!"

The location of the Red Maple Base is really good, and it is indeed surrounded by several mountains. The mountains here are very steep, and there are many rocky mountains, which looks very safe.

Then the military made some modifications here, such as flattening the steep mountain walls, so that zombies can't climb up; for example, the steep mountain walls are full of spikes and broken blades, so even if there are zombies that can climb up, they may get stuck and can't climb up. Even powerful zombies can't shake such a high mountain... It feels a bit like a paradise.

From the sky, we can see that this base has only two entrances, the front door and the back door. Both doors are made of heavy steel and look more imposing than the gate of Changhe Base. Their defense must be strong.

As for the space above them, there is no hiding and it is exposed nakedly.

When Wang Tao asked Zhan Liang if there were any flying zombies heading to their base, Zhan Liang immediately asked in confusion:

"Boss, can flying zombies fly that high?"

"..."

Wang Tao forgot that the perimeter of this base was not a man-made wall, but a mountain thousands of meters high! Flying zombies would not fly that high, anyway, Wang Tao had never seen one.

This is 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 don't have eagles, so they will not fly higher than the mountains.

So again, the location of the Red Maple Base was chosen very well. The only drawback was that the base was too small.

After all, this is a city surrounded by mountains, and the space inside is limited. So the buildings here are basically multi-story structures, and the stacked houses inside can be clearly seen from the sky. This is a three-dimensional city.

The golden eagle flew very high, and Wang Tao could only see some buildings, and could not see anything closer. He flew high because Wang Tao was afraid that the golden eagle would cause misunderstandings. It would not be good if the Red Maple Base sounded the alarm and caused some misunderstandings.

So Wang Tao planned to let the people from the Liehuo Gang go and inform them first. After all, it was a visit, so it was appropriate to be polite.

At this time, Chen Haolin's car had already arrived outside the front gate. As the road was getting more and more remote, and Wang Tao occasionally took action to clean up the enemies, there was no need to worry about encountering enemies that they could not deal with on the road, so they returned home faster than ever before.

The door opened with a rumbling sound, and Chen Haolin's car drove in immediately.

Soon, 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 informed the base that a guest was coming on a golden eagle. The base would not immediately sound the alarm, nor would it launch any attack on Wang Tao, so Wang Tao could land without worry. "Go down."

chirp——

The golden eagle landed slowly.

Wang Tao has seen that a troop has gathered at the gate. There are not many of them, but they are all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. It is obvious that they are not here to fight, but to welcome them.

In addition to this troop, we can see many cars driving towards the door. This should be because people from other forces have received the news.

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, because the news spread so quickly! In just a few minutes, the news of his arrival seemed to have spread throughout the Red Maple Base.

You know, electronic devices are not usable now. They were able to react so quickly, they must have other communication channels.

As the golden eagle descended, the onlookers below finally saw the golden eagle and they all exclaimed in surprise. Especially when they felt the undisguised aura of a fifth-level lord from the golden eagle, they almost bowed down in worship.

Obviously, they had never seen such a big and powerful mutant beast, let alone anyone who could tame such a mutant beast.

Finally, the golden eagle landed on the top of the mountain. Because it was too big, and the space inside the base was very tight. When the base was built, no one thought that such a huge mutant beast would come. The few open spaces were crowded with onlookers, and the golden eagle had nowhere to stay. It was okay to stop on the mountain. There were people on duty here, and there were stairs and elevators connecting to the base.

"And there's an elevator? What's the power behind it?"

After Wang Tao jumped off the golden eagle, he looked at the things that looked like outdoor elevators not far away and suddenly became curious.

"Is this considered bioenergy? Anyway, it uses a special vine to control the rise and fall..."

Zhan Liang scratched his head.

He didn't know much about this, but as long as it could be used, it was fine. He wouldn't worry about the principles. After all, everyone has their own expertise. He was a combatant, and his main job was to fight and collect supplies.

"To be able to build such a large base, he must be quite capable."

Wang Tao nodded silently.

At this moment, 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 wriggling rapidly. It was obvious that they were pulling the elevator up, but it was rising very fast and not very evenly, and it was also shaking a little... I guess this experience wasn't very good.

Boom!
Although the elevator had springs for shock absorption, it still visibly hit the mechanism reserved on the mountain wall.

click -

The elevator door was opened manually from the inside, and a group of people came out, some holding their heads, some holding their waists.

This was not the first time they had ridden this thing, but each time was a different, more uncomfortable experience.

After all, it is impossible to expect these creatures with not very flexible brains to be as strict as machines. It is already very good to make them work obediently, and you can't ask for too much.

"Hello, Mr. Wang! Welcome to the Red Maple Base!"

The group of people were still some distance away from Wang Tao, but the leader had already stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, "I am Xiang Bo, the mayor of the Red Maple Base..."

The mayor of the Red Maple Base is a kind-faced, slightly plump middle-aged man who looks harmless, but in fact has no fighting power - he is only level three and not even an awakener.

It is basically certain that he is the mayor by proxy. Otherwise, with his strength, it is impossible for him to control the entire Red Maple Base. The people around him are not very strong, and there is not even an awakened one.

"Hello, I'm Wang Tao." Wang Tao stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, then briefly introduced Ding Yuqin and others, "This is my companion..."

"Hello! This is..."

Xiang Bo also introduced some people around him, all of whom were managers of the Red Maple Base Municipal Hall.

After both parties got to know each other, Xiang Bo and his party looked at the golden eagle, with curiosity in their eyes. He immediately asked:

"Mr. Wang, is this your mount? It must be of level five strength, right?"

Xiang Bo was only at the third level, and he didn't have a very clear sense of the Golden Eagle's strength. He only knew that it was very strong, stronger than any zombie or monster he had ever seen. Of course, since he came here, he had basically been working in the base, and he hadn't seen too many enemies since then. Their base was in the mountains, like a paradise, and there were usually no enemies.

"Level 5 Lord."

Wang Tao didn't hide it either.

"hiss--"

Even though Xiang Bo and his group had already received news about Chen Haolin, they still felt it was a little unreal when they heard Wang Tao's admission in person.

After all, the mount was already a fifth-level lord, so how strong must Wang Tao be? Could it be a sixth-level one? Could someone really be promoted so quickly? There wasn't even a sixth-level one in their base at the moment...

"Mr. Wang, how about I take you around our base... As for your companion, he may have nowhere to stay, so he can only stay here. However, I can provide a lot of food..."

Xiang Bo scratched his head and said.

"Don't worry about it, it has food to eat."

Wang Tao left some nutrient solution for the golden eagle.

"Okay! Then please follow me..."
