BXBX NOVEL Chapter 447: 200 Zijin Base_1
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised when he saw the invitation in his hand.
The content of the invitation was the same as what had been broadcast on the radio, just with the language polished a bit.
Zijing Base was clearly demonstrating its strength.
To be able to send out invitations in the post-apocalyptic world, and to dispatch three second-order ability users for the task, demonstrated considerable power.
“Brother Wang, when do we head over?”
Nie Siyan asked quietly.
“Let’s leave tomorrow.”
The arcade was quite a distance from Zijing Base, so they needed to set off early.
“Okay!”
Nie Siyan was very excited. It wasn’t so much about going to Zijing Base but rather that Wang Tao would be going with them. Having such a powerful figure by her side gave her a full sense of security!
Nie Siyan went down to make arrangements. She planned to bring five people with her. Those were Zhu Han and his group of five level 2 elites.
Since they would be embarking on a long trip this time, those too weak would be a burden; only ability users and above were a must. But the arcade also needed to be manned, so Nie Siyan left all level 1 ability users and ordinary people behind. All the second-order ability users would go with her. Nie Siyan told everyone not to go out over the next few days and to wait for her return before making any moves.
The next day.
Three vehicles left the arcade one after another.
In the middle, a relatively new off-road vehicle.
Xu Xiaojun was driving, Nie Siyan sat in the passenger seat, and Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were in the back.
Nie Siyan told Wang Tao some of the things she had recently learned about Zijing Base.
“I heard that Zijing Base has seen a surge in second-order ability users recently, and their strength is unprecedentedly strong. So, they organized a hunting expedition against level 3 zombies but suffered heavy casualties. Many second-order ability users died… That’s why they started inviting other survivors from Zijing City…”
The forces in Zijing City were complex, each with its own channels of information. Naturally, Nie Siyan had her sources, which she had acquired over the last couple of days while using the walkie-talkie to communicate with other forces.
“Many second-order ability users died?”
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
Theoretically, a large number of second-order ability users should be able to kill a level 3 elite zombie.
Not only did they fail to kill them but also lost so many people… Unless they encountered a level 3, Lord Zombie, or even a level 4 zombie!
It was just bad luck.
“Do you know where they were hunting the level 3 zombies?”
Wang Tao asked.
“I’m not sure, let me ask around…”
Nie Siyan took out her walkie-talkie and started to communicate with others.
A few forces near the arcade also set off for Zijing Base today, but they did not join Firefly Club. Mainly because the reputation of the Skull Club, the former incarnation of the Firefly Club, was so bad that no one wanted such companions.
However, communication was still possible. They would provide Nie Siyan with information while also seeking out some news from her, which was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
…
Wang Tao had been looking forward to encountering some level 3 zombies on the road, but to his disappointment, he didn’t. However, they did come across some roaming level 2 zombies, which were taken care of by Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan.
Xu Xiaojun’s strength needs no mention. Although he was still not capable of facing level 3 zombies now, he could overwhelm most level 2 zombies with his power.
Nie Siyan’s strength had improved a lot. Before, she practically hid when facing level 2 zombies. But now, she handled every level 2, elite zombie with ease.
Plus, she had great potential. After all, her HP was just over ten thousand, and there was still much room for improvement.
Nie Siyan was thrilled. She couldn’t believe that she could be so strong!
Unfortunately, there was Jiang Shixue in the back seat. Otherwise, no matter what, she would run to Wang Tao’s side to relax him a bit, and properly express her gratitude towards him.
On the way, Wang Tao came across several groups of people who had originally set out together. But once they found out that Firefly Club’s predecessor was Skull Club, they immediately took off.
This made Nie Siyan quite embarrassed.
Wang Tao, however, didn’t mind. Fewer people meant more peace and quiet for him.
Two days later, the convoy finally arrived near Zijing Base.
The reason it took two days was mainly because the roads in the post-apocalyptic world were difficult, and the occasional need to avoid zombie hordes caused many delays.
“Is that Zijing Base…”
Looking at the tall walls in the distance, Nie Siyan was somewhat amazed. It was her first time here too.
“It looks pretty good.”
Wang Tao was also a bit impressed.
The walls of Zijing Base were estimated to be about ten meters high, with smooth surfaces, shooting holes, barbed wire wrapped around the top, and soldiers with guns standing guard… It looked very secure!
After her strength had increased, Nie Siyan had grown slightly arrogant, thinking that Firefly Club might also have a chance at challenging a large force. But seeing the scale of what was in front of her, she felt a bit helpless.
Although she hadn’t gone in yet, she knew from the outside that Firefly Club had no way of comparing with such a large force. Not just because of the high-leveled ability users, but more so because the arcade was too insignificant compared to such a grand base.
Looking at the scale of the base, it seemed it could easily house tens of thousands of people…
“All the zombies around here have been cleaned up.”
Wang Tao said, looking at the outside situation.
They were now a street away from Zijing Base, but there wasn’t a single zombie here. The corners of the streets were filled with piles of zombie corpses, apparently killed in the last few days… This was clearly the work of Zijing Base.
