Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 535

Chapter 535 Other Survivor Bases

The next morning, Wang Tao came to Awakening School.

Those students were planning to have a good rest in the next few days, but no one took a rest today because Principal Wang wanted to personally select the second batch of awakened people today.

They have been fighting desperately for a month in the cracks just for this moment!

I heard from the director that the selection list this time is basically related to points. Students with high points are very likely to be selected. But they don't know how many points other people have, and the student points ranking list has not been released yet. So they are all looking forward to this opportunity being their turn.

“Tell me, how many places are there this time?”

"Last time there were three people, but Principal Wang said that it was his personal reward and had nothing to do with the school. But this time, it is the school's reward! So there must be five or six people, right?"

"I feel the same way. After all, it is the school's unified reward, which should be more than Principal Wang's personal reward."

“I hope you can select me! I have always been very lucky, and I will definitely not waste this opportunity!”

"You're so lucky. If the teacher hadn't saved you the day before yesterday, you would have died. How would you have a chance to compete for the awakened person spot?"

"Isn't that more proof that I'm lucky? Otherwise, how could the teacher just see me in crisis and successfully save me?"

In the school square, many students were whispering.

“Principal Wang is here!”

I don't know who shouted, and the sound of communication disappeared instantly. Everyone looked eagerly at the golden eagle in the sky.

After a night of digestion, they already know things like golden eagles, crystal energy poison trees, and barriers. Although these things shocked them, they couldn't care less about it now. They just wanted to know which lucky person would be able to awaken today.

The golden eagle slowly landed on the square. Wang Tao, Gu Yun and others jumped off the back of the golden eagle, and they strode to the rostrum that had been set up in advance.

"Dear students, I have seen your performance in the past month in the crack. You are all very good, far beyond my expectations. The purpose of establishing our Awakening School is to let everyone have the ability to awaken." opportunity, so today I will select some students for awakening based on your points and overall performance in the rift!"

Even though Wang Tao had informed them in advance, they were still very excited when they heard Wang Tao's words in person.

"But let me make it clear in advance that there is a success rate for awakening. The success rate for the first awakening is 50%, so it is a good thing that the next selected students can successfully awaken. If they fail, don't be discouraged. , there will be another chance next time!”

Wang Tao is afraid that the greater their hopes, the greater their disappointment, so he gives them a vaccination in advance.

Students naturally know that there is a probability of failure in awakening, but many of them subconsciously ignore it, or are unwilling to think too much about it. Now that they heard Wang Tao tell this matter in person, their excitement suddenly calmed down a lot.

Seeing that the students were calmer, Wang Tao continued:

“Then I will announce the next list, and those students whose names have been read will be asked to come up to the stage…”

All the students were refreshed and came!

“Kou Wei…”

Wang Tao read five names in one breath.

　　The person whose name was called immediately came to the stage excitedly, while the other people whose names were not called were envious and disappointed. Sure enough, it was pretty much what they guessed, this time there were five places.

But before they could communicate, Wang Tao read out five more names.

“Li Wei…”

Um? besides!

Suddenly, the crowd was a little excited. There is still one? Is it 10 places this time?

The five people whose names were read this time were a little in disbelief, but they still ran onto the stage excitedly.

Other students are envious again, and they even have a little expectation. Will they still have it?

As if Wang Tao knew what they were thinking, he read out five more names.

“Xu Jian…”

　　Wow!

This time the students were not calm at all, there were actually 15 places! But when they saw that the list in Wang Tao's hand had not yet been put down, they exclaimed, "No way?" Is there more?

“Yuan Xiaofei…”

Sure enough, Wang Tao read out five more names before collecting the list.

“There are a total of 20 places this time. All students who have been read please come to the stage.”

Without Wang Tao's instructions, those being talked about would have already arrived.

The other students looked in disbelief.

They thought that there might be more places for awakening this time, but they didn't expect that there would be so many! There were only three people last time, but this time there were 20 people!

Principal Wang is too arrogant! To provide 20 people with the opportunity to awaken, how much resources will the awakening school have to expend?

Even the 20 people on the stage were a little embarrassed. They felt that they were not worthy... After all, there are only so many awakened people in the entire Changhe Base now, so they were given 20 places? If they fail to awaken, they will feel ashamed of their cultivation by the base and the school!

Wang Tao probably saw what they were thinking, so he added:

"Don't feel any psychological pressure. This kind of thing depends entirely on luck. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future..."

After a few words of comfort, Wang Tao took out the corresponding crystal core and awakening key.

The 20 people this time were all third-level power users, but their power levels were not necessarily high enough. Wang Tao asked them about their specific situations, and then took out the corresponding high-quality crystal cores.

These crystal cores were provided by the city hall, and Wang Tao did not pay any money this time. It's just that the base provided a lot of low-quality crystal nuclei, and he synthesized these low-quality crystal nuclei into high-quality ones.

In fact, although the city hall provided a lot of crystal cores, they also obtained a certain proportion of the crystal cores themselves - in this unified action, part of the loot obtained must be handed over. So this can be regarded as their own efforts.

When these people are ready, they will start to integrate one by one.

After a while, some people fell asleep excitedly, while others lowered their heads in despair.

"Not bad!"

There were 20 people in total, and 13 of them successfully awakened. This is much better than Wang Tao expected.

Wang Tao and Gu Yun are very satisfied.

“Those who failed to awaken this time, and those who have not yet been selected, don't be discouraged. There will be a chance next time.”

Wang Tao said to the students.

“Excuse me, Principal Wang, when will you go to the crack next time?”

At this time, some students raised their hands and asked.

“Of course we'll talk about it after you guys have had a good rest.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“We've had a good rest!”

“Yes, we have rested, we can go out now!”

Looking at these students who expressed their desire to go out, Wang Tao was speechless.

He is not one of those unscrupulous capitalists who crazily exploits others. Humans are not machines. If they don't get effective rest, bad things will happen.

"I know everyone's determination to become stronger, but haste makes waste. Work hard when you need to, but you should also rest when you need to. You are all the future of our Changhe Base, and the future Changhe Base needs you to protect it. We will encourage growth. It's not advisable, sustainable development is the way to go…”

Wang Tao's words temporarily stabilized everyone's excitement. They wanted to wake up, but they were tired. If you continue to remove cracks in this state, there will definitely be problems... Seeing that the students no longer said that they wanted to go out immediately, Wang Tao encouraged him a few more words, then looked at Gu Yun and Pan Jiandao:

“My task is completed, and the next step is left to you.”

Wang Tao came here this time just to see what conditions these people lacked for awakening, and then to supplement them. As for the follow-up arrangements, it is up to Gu Yun and Pan Jian.

“Okay, then go and do your work.”

Wang Tao left the Awakening School in a golden eagle amidst the greetings of the students.

He has also rested at home for two days, and today he is going to take a look at the crack in the Mammoth Base.

The last time he killed the destructive-level Tian Hua, Wang Tao wasted a lot of energy, so for the sake of safety, he didn't go exploring. Now that he's recovered and the Scarab is fine, he can go exploring.

Tian Hua can find things like summoning altars there, and Wang Tao estimates that there should be other good things there. And he also had to save some crystal cores to prepare for promotion to the sixth level.

Going home to pick up Jiang Shixue and Lightning, Wang Tao and his team flew towards the direction of Mammoth Base again.

When he came to the Mammoth Base again, Wang Tao did not enter the crack immediately. Instead, he searched nearby according to the coordinates given to him by Zhao Yun.

Among the survivors of Mammoth Base, some had followed Tianhua a long time ago and experienced the process of moving from the original base to the crack. The location of their original base was not too far from the crack, and there were other survivor bases around their original base.

Since Wang Tao came here again, he stopped by to see if there were any survivors in the survivor bases.

The news given by Gu Yun was that there were three survivor bases in total. Wang Tao went to check them in order of distance.

The location of the first base is a village.

Although this is a rural area, the original residents here are very wealthy, so the houses and roads in this village are well built, and there is even a river protecting the village. In addition, the area is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few zombies... This is obviously a great place to build a base.

But when Wang Tao came here, he suddenly looked disappointed.

This village was almost buried in the wind and snow. After letting the golden eagle flap its wings and blow away some of the snow, Wang Tao saw a large number of frozen zombies below.

This base has long since fallen.

However, in order to avoid missing the survivors, Wang Tao still jumped off the back of the golden eagle and searched carefully.

The village is not big, and it was quickly explored. There was not a single living human being left, they were all zombies sealed in ice.

These zombies are not dead, nor have they evolved into frozen zombies. They were just frozen by the low temperature. If the temperature could rise, they would probably survive.

In order not to leave any further trouble, Wang Tao directly killed all the zombies. In the process, he also found some electronic products such as tape recorders and mobile phones in some houses. Wang Tao used his information watch to reverse charge these electronic products and found that some of them were still usable. After opening it, after seeing and hearing the content inside, Wang Tao probably understood how this base fell.

Simply put, this place was broken through from the inside by the zombie virus—most of the bases in the apocalypse fell in this way.

No matter how good the geographical location of the base is, how high the defense is, or how strong the personnel are, as long as an infected person enters the base, the countdown to its fall will begin.

Just like this village base, their location is really good, there are no zombies around, and there are a lot of supplies stored here... In the apocalypse, this can be considered a paradise. But during an exploration trip, someone unfortunately got infected. That person probably didn't want to be exiled, so he concealed his infection and came back with a sense of luck, and no one else noticed. As a result, that night, in less than an hour, the entire base basically fell.

　　The few remaining survivors knew that it must be the problem of the team that went out today, but it was already too late. After leaving their last words, they were also infected. The entire base was completely destroyed.

"well…"

Wang Tao shook his head.

This is the case in the last days. In the face of life and death, humans cannot be expected to be very conscious. Strict rules must be formulated, especially when it comes to entering and exiting the base. There can be no sloppiness. There are too many lessons learned...

Wang Tao left the village and went to the next survivor base.

The second survivor base is in a funeral parlor.

This funeral parlor is large in area and is located in a very remote location. There is a cemetery next to it and few people come here. Some survivors took a fancy to this place and built it into a doomsday base.

This funeral parlor is similar to the village just now. It is still covered with snow and does not look like there are people living there. However, Wang Tao still came down to check it in person.

"Huh?"

Wang Tao discovered that there were indeed many traces of human life in this funeral home, but there were no people, no zombies, and no traces of fighting.

“Is this...moved away?”

After searching carefully, Wang Tao touched his chin and muttered to himself.

This survivor base should be the same as the Mammoth Base, and it should be relocated voluntarily.

Mammoth Base was relocated because supplies were insufficient. The funeral home didn't know the reason...

Since there was no one around, Wang Tao didn't stay too long and took the Golden Eagle again to the location of the last survivor's base.

The last base is located in a prison.

The prison is indeed a suitable place to build a base. In Zijing City, a group of people established a base in the prison before. Prisons are generally located in remote areas with relatively few people. There are also certain supplies and even weapons inside the prison. The most important thing is that as long as the threats inside the prison are eliminated, the prison will be considered a relatively safe place. After all, there are high walls and power grids...

When Wang Tao saw this large prison, he suddenly raised his eyebrows. Although there is a lot of snow in the prison and it doesn't look like there are people there, there is some light white steam floating out of the prison!

Zombies can't start a fire, there are survivors inside!

Just like the last time he went to Mammoth Base, Wang Tao let the golden eagle move freely. He jumped down in advance, walked to the prison door, and knocked hard.

There was no movement in the prison.

Wang Tao was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

A moment later, several tightly wrapped figures appeared on the high wall of the prison gate. They held homemade bows and arrows, aimed at Wang Tao with vigilance, and then said loudly:

“Are you a human...or a zombie?”

If you can reply, you are a human being; if you cannot reply, you are a zombie.

Wang Tao nodded directly.

“Of course I am a human being, can you let me in?”

“You can come in, but you need to be checked to see if you carry the zombie virus!”

Several people on the high wall looked at each other, and the person who spoke first said again.

"no problem."

Wang Tao nodded again.

A minute later, a small door next to the prison gate opened.

Several survivors with firearms came out, looking at Wang Tao warily.

After seeing these survivors, Wang Tao was suddenly quite surprised. Because these survivors all wore a badge that was extremely familiar to him.

“Twilight Church…”
