Chapter 527: Chapter 226 Let Him Stay_3
“I’ve already heard from Little Yan and the others, I’m very grateful for the Level 3 Ascension Crystal Cores you gave them!”
Seeing Lan Yulian’s sincere face, Wang Tao immediately said with a smile:
“Gratitude shouldn’t just be in words, right? Isn’t there anything tangible?”
“Of course, there is!”
Lan Yulian took a backpack from Lu Yingfeng’s hand and handed it to Wang Tao.
“Oh?”
Wang Tao had just been teasing her, and hadn’t expected there to be something tangible.
He took the backpack, which was heavy.
Opening it to take a look, wow! It was full of Crystal Cores!
“These are all from the General’s stockpile in Zijin Base, of course, now they’re mine. I owed you so much before, these should be enough to pay back half, right?”
“Haha, half is certainly enough!”
Wang Tao laughed heartily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although most of the Crystal Cores were Level One, with only a few Level Two ones, for Wang Tao, who could extract Crystal Cores, even Level Ones were fine.
“As for the rest, I’ll think of a way later on. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be able to pay it back!”
Lan Yulian said again.
“Ok, I still trust you.”
“Oh right, the kind of Crystal Core I promised you before is still in the safe at the clubhouse. I’ve been too busy to go personally in the past few days, so when we head back, let’s make a trip to the clubhouse, and I’ll get it for you.”
Lan Yulian spoke as if she had just remembered.
“No problem,” Wang Tao nodded and then asked, “You guys aren’t moving away from the clubhouse?”
Now that she had taken over Zijin Base, wouldn’t she have to move all her people into Zijin Base?
“We’ve already started moving. By the time we get back, they’ll have finished moving. But I don’t plan to give up the clubhouse; after all, we’ve reinforced it, and its defense is not bad. It can be used as an outpost in the future.”
“That’s good.”
Wang Tao nodded. Previously, when they were at Shuize Base, they had quite a few temporary outposts within the county city, which could sometimes play a significant role.
At that moment, Lan Yulian glanced at Wang Tao and said:
“And I plan to turn the prison and the small gymnasium into our outposts as well!”
Wang Tao looked at her in surprise.
The prison naturally referred to the prison forces, and the small gymnasium was the territory of the Ability User’s Alliance.
Lan Yulian’s words clearly meant she intended to swallow up the prison and the Alliance!
But this was normal. After all, whether in terms of base size or strength, she was stronger than both the prison and the Alliance. Especially now that she had so many Level 3 subordinates, this was a good time to make a move!
Probably every leader of a force in Zijing City had the ambition to unify the city.
Not necessarily for the feeling of superiority, some people genuinely wanted to unite humanity to fight against the disaster together.
If Zijing City could be unified, with everyone living inside Zijin Base and following Lan Yulian’s orders, whether the days ahead would be better was uncertain, but at least it could avoid pointless infighting.
“Very ambitious, but I strongly agree,” Wang Tao said.
Lan Yulian, pleased with Wang Tao’s approval, looked at him with a seductive smile and said:
“Are you sure you don’t want the position of base leader? This is about becoming the leader who unifies the entire Zijing City. At least ten thousand survivors will obey your every command, whatever you want them to do…”
Hearing this, Wang Tao laughed and shook his head.
“I don’t want it, not interested.”
“Are you about to leave?”
Lan Yulian suddenly said.
She had discussed with Lu Yingfeng yesterday, and since Wang Tao didn’t want this or that, only wanting easily transportable Crystal Cores… it seemed like he was planning to leave. Although she couldn’t understand why Wang Tao would want to leave…
“Yes. I’m heading to the military base in Wuyang City.”
Now that they were all friends, Wang Tao didn’t hide his intentions.
“The military base!”
Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng looked at each other in surprise.
They hadn’t expected Wang Tao to go there.
“The journey to the military base is very dangerous…” Lan Yulian quickly said.
“I know, but I have to make the trip.”
Wang Tao feared danger, but was not one to shrink away from it.
“Alright then… I wish you a safe journey in advance. We’ll be heading back first…”
Lan Yulian, seeing Wang Tao had made up his mind, said no more.
Returning to another room, Lan Yulian suddenly said to Lu Yingfeng:
“I don’t want him to leave.”
“…”
Lu Yingfeng was silent; she didn’t want Wang Tao to leave either. After all, his strength was evident to all.
“There were some sparse messages before, saying that Wuyang City has become a living hell! There might be survivor forces in other cities, but Wuyang City doesn’t have a single survivor force! It may not even have any survivors at all! After all, it’s a city with a population of millions, perhaps tens of millions of zombies! Even if his strength is great, it would be very difficult for him to survive there…”
Worry was written all over Lan Yulian’s face.
“Indeed, it is difficult,” Lu Yingfeng nodded.
“So, we need to think of a way to make him stay! How about… cough, you make a sacrifice…”
Lan Yulian glanced at Lu Yingfeng.
“?”
Lu Yingfeng was initially taken aback, then realized what ‘sacrifice’ meant and gave Lan Yulian a speechless look.
“What’s with that look? You are my subordinate, aren’t you supposed to do this kind of thing, or do you expect me to do it?”
Lan Yulian immediately glared at Lu Yingfeng.
Lu Yingfeng seriously considered it for a moment, then nodded.
“It’s not impossible. There aren’t many in Zijing City who can match you, and you can’t possibly stay single forever. You and him are well suited—no, I feel, you’re actually punching above your weight…”
“Ah? Are you revolting!”
Lan Yulian suddenly grabbed Lu Yingfeng and pinned her on the bed, then playfully tickled her.
Lu Yingfeng didn’t resist, as she was used to this.
“Stop tickling my armpits, it’s itchy…”
…
The next day.
Everyone got up early.
Wang Tao looked at the energetic crowd and waved his hand.
“Let’s move out, aiming to finish the battle within an hour!”
“Yes!”
