Chapter 462: 205: Gymnasium (Seeking Basic Monthly Votes at the Beginning of the Month)_1



“Did you also participate?”

“No,” Lan Yulian shook her head, “We only found out about it recently. This was something the base and the prison concocted together. Neither we nor the Ability User’s Alliance were informed… otherwise, I would have definitely gone to stop them!”

She had been startled when she first heard about it; had it not been too late, she would have definitely tried to stop it.

After all, this was too risky—it was, to some extent, playing with the lives of all the survivors in Zijing City!

“So now…”

Wang Tao asked again.

“Those zombies are all in the city stadium. Before they started to raise the zombies, they had already hacked off their limbs and tied them up to prevent them from resisting or escaping.”

“And now, those zombies have successfully ascended to Level 3. After the Ascension, their strength is quite weaker than that of normal Level 3 zombies. They thought they were successful, but these zombies are slowly growing stronger, and moreover, they can evolve! Some have grown new limbs, some have evolved other appendages, and some have even merged together…”

At this point, Lan Yulian’s face turned somewhat pale.

She had seen the situation there with her own eyes, and every time she thought about it, she felt physically ill.

“…The situation there is a bit out of control now. The reason so many people were summoned this time is to try to quickly kill those zombies. Otherwise, if those zombies break out, there will be big trouble!”

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao asked with some curiosity:

“Can’t they solve it themselves?”

From what Lan Yulian implied, those zombies being raised should be relatively weak and significantly restricted; they can’t even leave the stadium. Given Zijin Base’s strength, they should be able to resolve the issue. Not to mention anything else, Zijin Base has many guns. Since the zombies are trapped, couldn’t they just shoot them like target practice?

“In theory, they could solve it, but the danger is too great. Their cages have malfunctioned, and many zombies have gotten out of control. But those zombies can’t leave the stadium for now… so they can only send people in to kill them. If they forcefully go in to solve it, they will surely lose a lot of people. Though Zijin Base has many people, they can’t afford to lose too many… However, there’s an even more important point…”

Lan Yulian paused for a moment.

“The most important point is that among the zombies inside, not only are there Level 3 Elite Zombies, but there are also some very strong zombies without Crystal Cores, somewhat similar to Mad Demon Zombies. They can’t directly distinguish which zombies have Crystal Cores…”

“No wonder!”

Hearing this, Wang Tao suddenly understood.

The reasons Lan Yulian mentioned earlier were certainly problems, but they could always be solved if they were determined enough. The last reason was the key — there were strong zombies without Crystal Cores inside the stadium!

Killing these kinds of zombies was nothing but thankless hard work.

Thus, Zijin Base simply lured all the survivors in Zijing City over to do the work.

Of course, if they could fulfill their own promises and give other survivors benefits, then it wouldn’t be seen as deception but rather as mutual aid and cooperation.

“So, will Zijin Base honor their promise?”

Wang Tao looked at Lan Yulian.

“Of course, they will. Even if they are strong, they wouldn’t dare to oppose the survivors of the entire Zijing City. Besides, friendly cooperation is the foundation for long-term survival; they aren’t foolish.”

“That’s good then.”

Wang Tao nodded as long as they weren’t intentionally duping people.

“Dinner’s ready!”

Lu Yingfeng called out from the kitchen; she had prepared today’s meal.

Lan Yulian hurried over to serve the dishes, while Wang Tao didn’t move an inch, looking like the lord and master as he continued eating grapes with Jiang Shixue.

When the food was served, Wang Tao’s eyes lit up.

Regardless of how the food tasted today, at the very least, it looked much better than yesterday’s.

Wang Tao didn’t hide his emotions, and both women noticed.

Lu Yingfeng wore a composed expression, while Lan Yulian appeared somewhat helpless; she admitted there was indeed a gap.

“Please enjoy!”

Wang Tao didn’t stand on ceremony and picked up a piece of lean meat. After chewing a few times, he commended with admiration in his eyes:

“The flavor is terrific!”

This wasn’t flattery; today’s meal was indeed great, especially compared to yesterday’s—it was in a class of its own.

“Little Feng trained specially for this back then!”

Hearing Wang Tao’s praise, Lu Yingfeng spoke up while Lan Yulian took on a very complacent demeanor, as if the compliments were about her. It was evident that their relationship was very close.

“Little Xue, eat more!”

Then, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng started serving Jiang Shixue more food.

“Thank you.”

The group chatted as they ate.

Naturally, the topic of zombies was momentarily skipped, as that was sure to spoil the appetite.

When the conversation turned to food, Lan Yulian spoke with some envy:

“Zijin Base is such a great place! Not only is it large, with strong defense power and beautiful scenery, but they can also grow their own vegetables and raise pigs…”

Wang Tao wasn’t surprised; he could guess as much from the food. Otherwise, Zijin Base couldn’t possibly supply so many people with fresh food.

“And their vegetables and pigs have mutated, grown huge! But they can all be eaten. The pigs are also very docile and not aggressive at all.”

Lu Yingfeng was also very envious.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao seemed very interested. He had only seen some inedible plant mutations and some fish mutations. He hadn’t yet come across mutated vegetables or pigs and planned to go see what they looked like sometime. Certainly not for the purpose of stealing them.
