Chapter 624: Leader of the Fiery Gang

Xiang Bo left before the dinner started. He arranged a small courtyard for Wang Tao and his party. This courtyard was made up of a kind of mutant grass. Whether it was the courtyard wall or the tables, chairs, benches, and beds, they were all mutant grass.

Especially since the grass was still moving slightly, Ding Yuqin and the others who were seeing it for the first time were a little uncomfortable. However, the air here was fresh and had a very pleasant fragrance, which calmed people down unconsciously.

Wang Tao took a look at everyone's health bars and saw that none of them showed any negative conditions, so he immediately felt relieved.

He tried again to use his mental power to communicate with these mutated plants, but just like before, there was no way to communicate at all.

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.

"This mutant plant is quite interesting. How is it controlled?"

According to Xiang Bo, these mutated plants saved them a lot of time in infrastructure construction, allowing the Red Maple Base to be completed early, thus avoiding many disasters. Otherwise, there might not be the current Red Maple Base.

"It would be great if we could also master this method of controlling mutant plants..."

Xiang Hongbin said as he stroked the hard but slightly elastic mutant grass.

Wei Zhenguo immediately spoke up: "Xiang Bo said that these mutant plants can only be controlled within a certain range? They can't be controlled outside the base, so there are also great restrictions..."

Xiang Hongbin scratched his head and said, "Oh, yes, I forgot about that. Then it seems that this is not that useful for our base, right? After all, our base is large and safe enough, and there is a large population, so we don't have to worry about infrastructure issues. Moreover, these infrastructures provide jobs for many people..."

"Yes, we don't really need it. But then again, it's always good to have one more technical means. And it may be of great use to the institute. Anyway, it depends on whether Wang Tao can get this technology..."

Wei Zhenguo nodded.

Wang Tao felt that if the technical threshold was high, he should be able to get it. After all, he had a lot of cards in his hand. He originally planned to provide some help to the Red Maple Base. If the Red Maple Base military was unwilling, he would reveal another trump card - Crystal Energy.

Not to mention anything else, just the crystal power armor, I'm sure the military will like it.

But if this doesn't work, and the military is still unwilling to exchange technology, then this can only prove one thing - this technology for controlling plants is very simple and easy to learn. The military is afraid that telling Wang Tao will affect their dominance in the base.

But if that were true, Wang Tao might be able to figure it out quickly. After all, his mental power was really useful at certain times.

A few people studied the mutated grass here for a while, but after not getting any response, they felt a little bored.

Wang Tao did not study it any further, but took out some of the spoils he had obtained before, such as hematopoietic agents, energy-enhancing agents and the like.

Since we found Chen Haolin and others on the road before, and followed them to the Red Maple Base, we didn't have time to use these medicines. Of course, this was not for Wang Tao to use, but for others to use.

Wang Tao had previously hunted giant zombies and obtained a lot of blood beads, but he had no more use for them, so he gave them to other people. Some people's blood volume had already reached 100 million, but some people had not. With the addition of these hematopoiesis, it would not be a problem to increase everyone's blood volume to 100 million.

Wang Tao originally planned to use it when he got back, because these medicines have a side effect of making him weak for a day. But Wang Tao planned to stay at the Red Maple Base for a day and not go out for the time being, so he didn't have to worry about being weak. In addition, not everyone used it, only some people with weak combat power used it, so if he didn't go out, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Everyone was very happy to hear that they could improve their strength now. As bottles of potions were used, some people's health points gradually increased until they reached 100 million.

In fact, Wang Tao himself wanted to use it, these potions were enough to increase his mana to 100 million, completing a basic condition. But he was the team's greatest combat power, and if he became weak, it would be troublesome if something unexpected happened, so he had to wait.

Just after everyone's health reached 100 million, Xiang Bo came over again and invited Wang Tao and his party to have dinner.

Since Jiang Shixue had not woken up yet and needed someone to take care of her, Li Qiuyu and the other girls stayed here with Lightning, and Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo went to the banquet.

The dinner was also held in a giant mushroom. The mushroom was black on the outside and looked a bit dirty, but inside it was white and gold with a jade texture, which was very beautiful. Coupled with the light from some lantern trees, it gave the place a sense of splendor.

"Welcome Mr. Wang!"

In addition to Wang Tao, there are many other guests today. These guests have arrived a long time ago and were waiting at the door, which can be said to have given Wang Tao enough face.

"Hello!"

Wang Tao nodded, then listened with a smile as Xiang Bo began his introduction.

There are more than thirty people in total, but there are only 11 fifth-level awakeners among them. The rest, except Xiang Bo’s group of people from the city hall, are all fourth-level.

According to Xiang Bo's introduction, Wang Tao knew that these were the leaders of the major forces in the Red Maple Base, and they were also the strongest group of people, such as the military commander, the leader of the Fiery Gang, and so on.

Although this strength cannot be compared with the current Changhe Base, it is not weak. It is what a super large survivor base should be like.

Moreover, the attributes of these people are very normal. Even those with the most impurities in their bodies only have about 40%, and there is no persistent negative state... It is obvious that they were promoted normally, and they are not like those people in the Silver Snake Base before, who took the crooked path.

After seeing Wang Tao, these people's already polite expressions became even more polite.

You know, the strongest group of people in the entire Red Maple gathered here, and none of them could tell what level Wang Tao was at! This was terrifying, either Wang Tao was an ordinary person, or Wang Tao was hiding very deeply, or Wang Tao's strength was much stronger than theirs!
Option 1 can be ruled out directly. Let's not talk about the fact that the people from the Fiery Fire Gang said that Wang Tao killed a fifth-level lord in one move, nor that he has a fifth-level lord flying mount that everyone has seen so far. Let's just talk about the people around Wang Tao. They can feel that they are all fifth-level awakeners! Those who can let a fifth-level awakener follow behind are obviously not ordinary people.

Option 2 and option 3 are both possible. They tend to think that Wang Tao is much stronger than them and knows how to hide his aura.

This kind of person who is reserved is even more terrifying! So it is right to be polite.

"Mr. Wang Tao, we are all a little curious, what level are you at? My name is Han Youlin."

At this time, a middle-aged man in military uniform suddenly spoke. He was one of the 11 fifth-level awakeners present, and also the commander and leader of the military, Han Youlin.

He doesn't like beating around the bush, so since everyone wants to ask, he'll just speak directly.

"Sixth level." Wang Tao did not hide it, and even released a little bit of the aura of the sixth level.

"hiss--"

Faced with the impact of the sixth-level aura, everyone subconsciously took a step back and then took a breath of cold air.

Although they had all guessed it, they were still shocked when they actually felt the aura of the sixth level.

Level 6! Most of them had only been promoted to level 5 not long ago, and now they hadn’t even seen the shadow of level 6, but they didn’t expect Wang Tao to have already reached level 6!

"Great!"

Han Youlin gave a thumbs up.

It was extremely difficult for them to advance to the fifth level, but they didn't expect that someone would advance to the sixth level. They really were a bit too narrow-minded before!

He was ready to ask Wang Tao for advice, but he didn't know if Wang Tao was willing...

"Please take a seat!"

Wang Tao took his seat, and Wei Zhenguo and others sat beside him. Dishes were served one after another, and Wang Tao took a quick look. They were not particularly rich, but the quantity was enough to fill one up, after all, psychics and awakened people had big appetites.

After Wang Tao sat down, everyone's eyes stayed on Xiang Hongbin again. Before attending this dinner, they thought Wang Tao should be the one who attracted their attention the most - in fact, he was, but now there is one more person, that is Xiang Hongbin beside Wang Tao.

Although Xiang Hongbin changed his clothes to cover up the half-mechanical body, the half-human, half-mechanical look on his face was really eye-catching.

When everyone saw it for the first time, they all thought that it was a mechanical prosthesis, and that Xiang Hongbin was half human and half machine. But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was impossible. Even if there was the technology for mechanical prosthesis, all electronic devices are now unusable... So Xiang Hongbin must have been disfigured and deliberately made a mechanical mask that can cover half of his face and wore it?
But why does this mechanical mask blend so well with his face, and one of his eyes seems to occasionally emit blue light?

Everyone was very curious. However, since it was their first meeting, they were not very familiar with each other. If this was Xiang Hongbin's scar, it would be a bit embarrassing for them to ask about it, so they did not ask, but just guessed silently in their hearts.

On the other hand, since Wei Zhenguo and his men were military men and were strong enough, they soon started chatting with Han Youlin.

During this chat, both parties got along very well and even forgot that there was a sixth-level awakener, Wang Tao, around them.

Of course, Wang Tao was not left out. Xiang Bo and others talked to Wang Tao enthusiastically. The most enthusiastic one was Tu Lizhen, the leader of the Liehuo Gang. She moved her chair to Wang Tao's left and pushed Xiang Bo away. Xiang Bo smiled helplessly and shrugged, but didn't say much.

Wang Tao didn't expect that the leader of the Liehuo Gang was a woman, and a mature woman with great beauty and charm.

It's not that Wang Tao looks down on women, but most women are not as good as men in terms of physical fitness. In the end times, it is difficult for women to rise. Not to mention that Tu Lizhen is a fifth-level awakener.

"Mr. Wang, you saved the core members of our Liehuo Gang and prevented our Liehuo Gang from suffering huge losses. I am very grateful for this! So after the dinner, I would like to invite you to visit our Liehuo Gang and thank you very much! Please don't refuse..."

Tu Lizhen rubbed Wang Tao's arm gently with the back of her hand, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Wang Tao seemed to be able to drip water.

When the others heard what Tu Lizhen said, they immediately pouted inwardly. Inviting someone to your gang in the middle of the night? Is this a proper thank you? I don't even want to expose you!
But they are somewhat envious in their hearts, because sometimes it is easier for women to get things done.

There were not many women present, and Tu Lizhen was the most beautiful one. She was also a fifth-level awakener... It was estimated that most men would find it difficult to refuse her invitation.

They actually wanted to invite Wang Tao, and they didn't want anything else from Wang Tao, but Wang Tao's experience. After all, he was a genuine sixth-level awakener! If they could get some useful information from Wang Tao for promotion to the sixth level, they would be willing to exchange crystal cores or bodies, but unfortunately they were not women.

Wang Tao looked at Tu Lizhen with interest.

"Oh? Thank you for what?"

"Whatever thanks you want, I'll give you!"

Tu Lizhen's words made people think about something else, and she winked at Wang Tao playfully.

However, Wang Tao has seen all kinds of storms, and this temptation has no effect on him.

"Next time."

After all, at a dinner table, Wang Tao did not directly refuse.

Tu Lizhen's face froze for a moment, and then she looked at Wang Tao with a little resentment. She didn't dare to say that she would definitely be able to invite Wang Tao, but she was somewhat frustrated that he refused her so quickly without giving her a chance to bargain. She began to doubt her own charm...

But she was not willing to give up. Who knew how long Wang Tao would stay here? What if he left tomorrow? Where could she find another sixth-level awakener to learn from?

So, Tu Lizhen suddenly grabbed Wang Tao's left hand and pulled it under the table.

Wang Tao could certainly resist. A small fifth-level awakener couldn't possibly catch her, but Tu Lizhen had no hostility either, so he didn't hide. He wanted to see what the woman was going to do. But he didn't expect that Tu Lizhen would pull his hand under the table and put it on her thigh.

Wang Tao could clearly feel a soft touch.

What is this for?
Too bold?
Wang Tao is not that kind of person!

And there are so many people here, isn’t that a bit bad?
Just when Wang Tao was hesitating whether to withdraw his hand, he suddenly stopped.

Because he found that he seemed to have misunderstood. Tu Lizhen pulled his hand down not to do anything bad, but to quickly write a lot of words on the palm of his hand.

"I know you must be curious about the mutant plants here. I am one of the few people who know all of this. Come to the Fiery Gang later and I will tell you everything. In exchange, you have to tell me what I need to pay attention to when advancing to the sixth level, and whether there is a faster way..."
