Chapter 557 Specialties of the Two Bases

    After hearing Wang Tao explain his origin and purpose, everyone present became excited instantly.

    “I didn’t expect that there would be a super-large survivor base no less big than ours!”

    “If we can establish contact with this base, it will be great for both parties!”

    “It would be better if we could exchange materials! But it doesn’t feel realistic. After all, it’s too far away…”

    …”

    Everyone started discussing.

    ??Ge Fuxing was very excited to introduce the Silver Snake Base to Wang Tao.

    First of all, it’s the name. The name Silver Snake Base is indeed related to those big trees. Those tall mutated pine trees are called Silver Snake trees by them.

    The reason why it is called the Silver Snake Tree is not only because the leaves of the big tree look like snakes, but also because there is a small silver snake on the big tree.

    ?This small silver snake is very poisonous. If one is bitten by it, humans below the awakened ones are not very lucky and may be poisoned to death! Even if an awakened person is bitten, it will be very uncomfortable.

    However, silver snakes are very rare and not very aggressive. They are very good at hiding. They will not attack humans unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, if you encounter a silver snake outside, just don''t provoke it, as they will avoid humans.

    ?However, the meat of the silver snake is very delicious, and it is the most delicious food in the silver snake base, bar none!

    Small in quantity, good at concealment, highly toxic, and delicious meat... Add these keywords together, and you will know how precious silver snake meat is. Silver snake meat is no longer a simple food, but a luxury product. Most people in this life You may not be able to eat it.

    But the name of Silver Snake has been spread among the people, and many people also know that Silver Snake meat is delicious and is the biggest feature of Silver Snake Base... Therefore, this base is called Silver Snake Base.

    ?? Lu An also prepared silver snake meat for this dinner, but the quantity was not large. After all, catching this thing is too dangerous. Even a professional snake catching team often gets injured or even loses its members. So only Wang Tao''s table had silver snake meat.

    ?Wang Tao tasted it and found it really delicious. To put it bluntly, this should be the most delicious food Wang Tao has ever eaten in the last days.

    The most important thing is that after Wang Tao finished eating, he found that his upper limit of blood volume had increased a bit.

    ?Although it has only increased by a few dozen points, this is the upper limit of blood volume after all!

    Once the blood volume reaches 100,000, it cannot be improved by killing zombies or monsters, and you can only think of other methods. Wang Tao has seen many things that can increase the upper limit of blood volume, but this is the first time he has seen something carnivorous.

    ?This silver snake is indeed a good thing. You can get some silver snakes to take back later...

    After mentioning the name, the next step is the origin of Silver Snake Base.

    ?This was originally a military base in the mountains, where some field training and other things were carried out on a daily basis - it’s a military base again! But it''s normal. After all, there are many weapons and equipment in the military base and the defense is strong. If there is a choice, humans will definitely choose this kind of place to establish a survivor base.

    At that time, the trees here had not yet mutated, and it was not called Silver Snake Base. And it is led by the military. Although life is difficult, due to the geographical location, there are no zombies or monsters here, and everything is developing steadily.

    Later, people with super powers appeared.

    As strength increases, desires begin to expand.

    ??The emergence of superpowers caused some disturbances in the peaceful military base.

    After all, this military base is not large in scale, does not have heavy firepower, and there are not many surviving soldiers. The most important thing is that there is no Hope Research Institute here. Except for some inhibitors, there is no power armor or crystal energy weapons...

    ??So the military''s combat effectiveness is not too strong, and those superpowers have formed an alliance of superpowers... Without a numerical advantage, the military is somewhat unable to suppress them.

    ??The Alliance of Superpowers and the military began to clash. Slowly, the number of conflicts increased. In the last and largest conflict, the military took the initiative to admit defeat and handed over control of the base.

    The military leaders know very well that continuing to fight will only lead to losses for both sides. The potential of psychics is obvious to all. Even if they survive this time, it may not be possible next time. So it is better to quit early and save strength. As long as you give them time, they can also have many superpowers.

    ??The Alliance of Superpowers is not willing to fight to the death with the military. They are also very happy to see the military voluntarily admit defeat. As a result, the two sides reached an armistice agreement.

    But there are many people in the Alliance of Superpowers. When they seized power from the military, they did become entangled. But now that the power has been taken back, it is time to divide the cake. They all want to share more of it themselves. , but the cake is so big, and no one of them is convinced by the other... So, the battle begins again. And this time it is a civil war between the alliance of superpowers.

    At this moment, the pine trees on the mountain suddenly began to mutate, becoming tall, mighty, and extremely hard.

    They thought they could use these mutated pine trees to strengthen their base or even expand it. So, while they were fighting among themselves, they were developing their base... which was a strange thing.

    The chaotic situation of Silver Snake Base started from that time and has remained until now.

    ?Afterwards, a sudden blizzard suddenly froze many people to death. They also suspended their internal fighting. After the early difficulties were overcome and the base stabilized, they began to fight among themselves again.

    Don’t look at it, Lu An’s dinner party today invited all the reputable people from the Silver Snake base, and it seemed like they were having a great time. But in fact, this group of people may show that they are clinking glasses, but they may be thinking about how to trick their opponents.

    ??Ge Fuxing said that Silver Snake Base is indeed in some chaos now, but he will end the chaos soon and send people directly to Changhe Base to visit.

    Wang Tao didn’t believe a word of what he said. If he had this ability, he would have unified the Silver Snake base long ago, why wait until now?

    ?However, Wang Tao suddenly thought of a problem. According to his previous experience, there are many zombies in the city and they are very dangerous, but this does not mean that the wild is safe. There are many mutated monsters in the wild, and they may be stronger than zombies at the same time. It is hard to say whether it is safer in the wild or in the city...

    But looking at the situation here at the Silver Snake Base, apart from internal fighting, they did not encounter too many external threats... This is not the same as the situation Wang Tao encountered.

    ?Wang Tao asked Ge Fuxing if their Silver Snake base had encountered any powerful mutant monsters since its establishment.

    Ge Fuxing said no. Except for a few times when someone deliberately led the corpses over and wanted to die together, but they were blocked by the silver snake tree, there was no external threat.

    ?This is one of the reasons why they have been fighting among themselves until now. If there were really strong foreign enemies, they might unite...

    After understanding the development of Silver Snake Base, Ge Fuxing talked about the current situation of Silver Snake Base.

    He said a lot, and Wang Tao summarized it. In short, it is - even though the Silver Snake Base is relatively chaotic now, the people here are all talents. There are talents in all fields. If a communication channel is established with Changhe Base, it will be of great help to both parties.

    ?Wang Tao was noncommittal. There is definitely help, but whether it is as big as he said, no one can say for sure. After all, the distance between the two bases is too far. It would be nice if the distance was closer, or if there were a large number of flying mutant beasts...

    ??Ge Fuxing focused on introducing the specialties of Silver Snake Base. If the two bases can exchange materials in the future, these specialties will definitely be an important part.

    ?Silver Snake naturally counts as one. Wang Tao has already tasted this one and it is indeed very good.

    Then there are these mutated silver snake trees. Although they are wood, their hardness is comparable to steel. Whether they are used as building materials or used to make weapons, armor, vehicles, etc., they are very good.?????Then there are tree insects and mutated wild rice.

    Only a small number of silver snake trees will have tree worms in them, but if there are tree worms in a tree, the number of tree worms in this tree will not be small. However, the silver snake trees are too hard and are very easy to damage. Trouble, it’s impossible to check them one by one. The people at the Grain Bureau have a way of identifying which trees have tree worms in them. They even set up their work sites in places where there are a lot of tree worms, and tree worms are constantly produced.

    It can be said that the Grain Bureau has mastered most of the tree insects in the Silver Snake Base.

    Wang Tao has also seen tree worms at the dinner table. They are palm-sized, white and fat worms that look like they are rich in protein. But Wang Tao had no appetite, especially since Lu An also prepared tree worm sashimi, which left Wang Tao speechless.

    ?But then again, this food is indeed high-quality food, and you can bring some back to the base for them to study.

    As for the mutated wild rice, Wang Tao has also seen it on the dining table. This thing is very big, a grain of rice is as big as a small bowl, but the taste... I can only say that it will not kill anyone.

    There is an area in the Silver Snake base that is covered with mutant wild rice. It was the people from the Food Bureau who first discovered and occupied this area. At that time, these wild rice species were not edible. They just wondered if they could study it. They did not expect that those wild rice species could mutate to their current state. They were lucky.

    ?These mutant wild rice not only have large grains and high yields, but also have a short maturity period and can be harvested in one month. After harvesting, as long as the roots are preserved, they can continue to grow without the need for seeds! The most important thing is that it is not afraid of severe cold and can still thrive in such heavy snowy weather!

    Although this sounds very unreasonable, this is the end of the world, and unreasonableness is actually reasonable.

    ?So if wild rice is unpalatable, just let it be unpalatable, as long as it doesn’t starve to death.

    ??But these mutant wild rice is not without its drawbacks—it cannot be transplanted.

    The Grain Bureau had transplanted wild rice before, but all of them died. Wild rice can only survive where it originally grew... They studied it for a long time and couldn''t figure out why. Although there is already a lot of wild rice in itself, as a Qian countryman, farming is engraved in our genes. It would be a pity not to plant the Silver Snake base with mutant wild rice...

    ?Wang Tao is also very interested in this mutated wild rice. He plans to take some back and look back to see if the institute can gain anything.

    ?In addition to silver snakes, silver snake trees, tree worms and mutated wild rice, Ge Fuxing also secretly told Wang Tao that they also have a specialty here - under the premise of paying a certain price, you can get an increase in strength!

    ?Among senior officials like them, this matter is not a secret. If he doesn''t tell others, others will definitely tell it, so Ge ??Fuxing simply took the initiative to tell Wang Tao to show his sincerity.

    ?Wang Tao was not surprised by this. After all, they all had too many impurities in their bodies, just like those who used the summoning altar before.

    ?Wang Tao now wants to know whether the summoning altar they used is the one Wang Tao took away, or whether there is another summoning altar.

    ?So Wang Tao suddenly said:

    “Sacrifice other people to gain strength?”

    "Well…"

    ?Ge Fuxing was a little surprised. He didn''t expect Wang Tao to already know.

    ?He just said it, others will definitely say it, and I don’t know who revealed it.

    “Well, to be precise, it is to let those criminals show their final value..."

    ?Ge Fuxing gave a brief explanation to Wang Tao.

    ?After hearing this, Wang Tao could only say that they have some conscience, but not much.

    They are different from Shen Cuishan. Shen Cuishan and others buy innocent people to sacrifice, while Ge Fuxing and others buy criminals from the prison of Silver Snake Base to sacrifice.

    ? It sounds like the latter seems to be more humane, but the question is, who knows whether any of those criminals were unjustly accused? Faced with this kind of temptation that can enhance strength, human nature really cannot stand the test...

    "Mr. Wang, are you interested? If so, I can help you contact the top master of our Silver Snake Base, because this thing that can improve your strength is in his hands. As long as you give him some benefits, he won''t Refuse...I won’t lie to you, but you will know after you try it!”

    ?Ge Fuxing spoke seductively.

    ?Wang Tao was still a little confused at first, why would Ge Fuxing tell such a thing? He was not afraid of robbing it himself? Do you really believe in your own character?

    ?Now Wang Tao understands that the Summoning Altar is not in their hands, but in the hands of the so-called top master of the Silver Snake Base!

    ?Then look at what Ge Fuxing did just now, it’s very thought-provoking——

    ??If you are a very ambitious person and do not know the true situation of the Summoning Altar, then after learning the news, you will definitely go to this number one master to **** the Summoning Altar!

    Since he is the number one master, he must have two skills, at least better than Ge Fuxing and the others... So, does Ge Fuxing want to reap the benefits?

    ?Taking a step back, even if he has no intention of snatching it, the thing is not in Ge Fuxing''s hands after all. It doesn''t matter if he tells the news. Anyway, he will not suffer any loss, and he can still sell himself a favor...

    As expected, he is the president of the Silver Snake Medical Association. He seems to be very polite, but in fact, he has already calculated it in his heart!

    ?But Wang Tao doesn''t care about Xiao Jiujiu in Ge Fuxing''s heart. He is even more curious about this "number one master" now.

    ??This number one master is so kind to help Ge Fuxing and others improve their strength? Or does he have another purpose?

    “Where is the number one master?”

    ?Wang Tao asked.

    Hearing this, Ge Fuxing suddenly smiled. He thought Wang Tao was moved. So he immediately smiled and explained:

    "He didn''t come today because he has been out for several days. Counting the time, he will be back soon, probably in the next two days. When he comes back, I will introduce him to you. You are all very powerful fifth-level people. Awakened people should have many topics in common..."

    "OK."

    ?Wang Tao nodded, then he would wait here for another two days. He must know what is going on with the summoning altar.

    “Ahem, I’ve already talked about a lot of things about our Silver Snake Base. Can Mr. Wang introduce the Changhe Base?”

    Ge Fuxing asked with great interest.

    "Okay, let''s talk about the specialties first. There is a kind of power armor in our base - yes, it is the kind of power armor you understand. After wearing it, even an ordinary person can have the combat power of a fourth-level awakened person. …”

    “Damn, you’re so awesome!”

    Hearing this, everyone was very surprised, especially those who had reached the fourth level of awakening. They worked so hard to awaken, but ordinary people can actually have fourth-level combat power?

    “There is also a crystal energy gun that can fire bullets comparable to the strength of the Awakened…”

    Obviously, the technological level of this Silver Snake base is not high. Wang Tao is going to attract them from this aspect...
