Chapter 1818: Chapter 776: Blood Beads Limit_2

“Let’s head back for a bit… Xiao Jin, return to Changhe Base.”

“Chirp~”

The golden eagle carried Wang Tao and quickly returned to Changhe Base.

After a few days, Wang Tao could clearly feel that the Changhe Base was now more vibrant than it was a few days ago.

“You’re back!”

Ding Yuqin and the others were about to head out when they saw Wang Tao suddenly appear. They were somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Although with Wang Tao’s current strength, it seemed like no zombie or monster could hold him back, they were still a little worried. After all, this was the apocalypse, and terrifying things could happen at any time.

“Where are you all planning to go?”

Seeing everyone fully armed, Wang Tao asked curiously.

“To rescue the survivors!”

Han Rui explained to Wang Tao.

The people in their group were at least Level 3 ability users. Although they couldn’t compare to Wang Tao, they were among the top in Changhe Base and even the entire Qian Country. Such strong combat power shouldn’t be wasted and should be used where it’s needed most.

Since its establishment, Changhe Base has always been about rescuing other survivors. It’s the ultimate long-term mission of Changhe Base. After some discussion, they decided to contribute their part as well. Rescuing survivors is unlikely to go smoothly, and they could take the opportunity to hunt zombies to enhance their combat abilities, achieving two goals at once.

“Then I’ll join you.”

Wang Tao had just taken a nap on the back of the golden eagle, and his spirits were high.

“Great! Let me show you; they just finished modifying the debris-clearing train…”

Han Rui and the others were naturally pleased to have Wang Tao join them.

“Debris-clearing train?”

Wang Tao was a bit surprised.

In the previous life, the two thousand survivors from Zijin Base reached Changhe Base safely by riding the debris-clearing train. This thing was heavily armed, fast, and could carry many people. As long as the rail tracks were cleared, not even a zombie tide could stop it.

He didn’t expect that they had managed to get the debris-clearing train up and running so quickly.

“Yes! It’s modified from a train…”

The others, thinking Wang Tao didn’t know, introduced it to him on the way. They clearly liked this debris-clearing train a lot.

Soon, Wang Tao and his companions arrived at the station.

The debris-clearing train had just been checked and was ready to depart.

Seeing the behemoth, Wang Tao was somewhat amazed because, compared to the one from his previous life, the debris-clearing train of this life looked more imposing and powerful, as if it were stronger than the one in the previous life. This was likely due to the many changes he had brought about.

However, compared to the previous life, at this point in time, the research on crystal cores wasn’t deep enough, and crystal-powered weapons hadn’t been developed, so powered armor was not available.

“Not bad!”

Wang Tao smiled and nodded, then boarded the train with the others.

Through their conversation, he learned that the debris-clearing train had been almost fully modified, but some key technical difficulties hadn’t been resolved. When Wang Tao arrived at Changhe Base previously, he brought people from the Hope Research Institute with him. They easily solved these problems and made a small modification, thus creating the current debris-clearing train.

“I see…”

Wang Tao nodded.

His previous guess was correct: because he brought the people from the Hope Research Institute over in advance, things had developed differently from the previous life.

Rumbling–

The train started and slowly left Changhe Base.

Han Rui explained the operation rules of the debris-clearing train to Wang Tao. The train would follow a route to the end station, but their destination wasn’t the end station. They would disembark at a station along the way, with some people getting off at each station, heading separately to rescue survivors. After one day, the train would return from the end station, and everyone would board with the rescued survivors to return to Changhe Base.

This was currently the most efficient method, albeit somewhat reliant on the rescuers’ capabilities. So, those who could ride this train were either special forces soldiers or ability users above Level Two.

Although Han Rui and their group were strong, they didn’t act separately but chose one place, making it easier to take care of each other since they were all familiar with each other, facilitating their cooperation. Hence, they always chose relatively challenging targets. Like today, their target was a large city.

Intelligence indicated that there seemed to be survivors in a university laboratory in the city, and their goal was to bring these people back.

The debris-clearing train would stop at this suburb and give them one day. Whether they could bring people back or not, they had to return to the station and wait to board after a day.

They weren’t entirely sure, but with Wang Tao accompanying them, it was certain that as long as the survivors were still alive, they could save them.

After some time, the debris-clearing train began to slow down, and Wang Tao and his group’s destination was reached. The train didn’t stop; they directly jumped off. Once it was confirmed that they had disembarked, the train accelerated again, leaving before the zombies could be attracted.

The nearby zombies had already been drawn by the commotion, but Wang Tao didn’t make a move, nor did he let others, instead letting Lightning and Taxue take action.

The ascension of mutant beasts depended more on luck, so Wang Tao tried to give them as many combat opportunities as possible, hoping they might ascend to Level 4.

These zombies were mostly Level Two and had no chance against Level 3 Taxue and Lightning, quickly being cleared out. Taxue also collected the spoils of war along the way.

“Let’s go.”

Wang Tao had the golden eagle enlarge, and everyone hopped on, heading straight into the city.

“Having Xiao Jin is really convenient!”

Wei Zhenguo sighed. Previously, they either drove or walked, wasting much time on the road, unlike now with the golden eagle, which just flew over directly.

Hearing this, Wang Tao patted the golden eagle’s head and asked if it knew where other mutant flying beasts were.

In the previous life, within the vast territory of the golden eagle, it was the only mutant flying beast. Other mutant flying beasts or flying zombies didn’t come over or got killed by the golden eagle. After all, this was golden eagle’s territory; it didn’t allow other flying monsters to intrude. This indirectly helped protect Changhe Base from harassment by flying monsters.

In this current life, the golden eagle had just ascended to Level 4, so it wasn’t as strong as in the previous life and hadn’t claimed such a large territory. So, there should still be many mutant flying beasts here.

As Wang Tao guessed, the golden eagle explained that there were indeed many mutant flying beasts here, especially in the mountainous area it used to frequent.

“Alright, let’s catch some mutant flying beasts together when we head back!”

Wang Tao laughed.

Although Changhe Base had airplanes, their use was more restricted than mutant flying beasts.

“Chirp~”

The golden eagle had no problem with that.

With laughter along the way, they arrived at the target university, where the lab was located.

There was no need to search; Wang Tao saw, with one glance, a large “SOS” painted on the rooftop of a teaching building, and in that building, many survivors’ presences could be felt.

“We’re in luck; they’re all still alive.”

Wang Tao had the golden eagle land on the rooftop, and everyone jumped off.

Inside the building, some people were whispering, but they fell silent instantly upon hearing the commotion on the roof.

Wang Tao led the group downstairs and stopped in front of a multimedia classroom, knocking on the door.

“We’re the rescue team from Changhe Base; we’ve contacted you before and are here to get you out.”

Upon hearing this, the classroom erupted in whispers once again.

After a moment, the classroom door slowly opened, and a man wearing a mechanical exoskeleton walked out, looking both excited and cautious.

“Oh?”

Seeing his attire, Wei Zhenguo and the others were a bit surprised.

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow. Specialized fields have their experts; while the Hope Research Institute was strong, it mostly excelled in biomedical fields. If they could find someone skilled in mechanical exoskeletons, perhaps they could develop powered armor ahead of time…
