"Big guy, thank you very much for your help...... If you don't have any instructions, we'll go back first......"

After passing the security check, Wen Guocheng and others hurriedly came to Wang Tao's car to thank him.

Although Wang Tao didn't talk about compensation, they wouldn't be so emotionally unintelligent. They have already discussed, and after they go back, they will tidy up and see if there is anything they can get their hands on, and find an opportunity to send it to Wang Tao.

Whether Wang Tao wants it or not is Wang Tao's business, but whether they give it or not is their character problem, after all, this is a life-saving grace!

And not to mention, Wang Tao is still a very strong boss, if he can get in touch with this kind of boss, even if it is just a nodding friend, it may be much more convenient to act in the city in the future!

It's just that they are a little confused now, a person as strong as Wang Tao is just an ordinary member of the Spark Society, so how strong is the overall strength of this Spark Society!

"Go ahead."

Wang Tao waved his hand.

Saving people is just a matter of convenience, and it doesn't take much effort. If it were those powerful people, Wang Tao might ask for a reward, but these people would be poor at first glance, so they would be regarded as doing good deeds.

After these people left, Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin.

"Are you going to my house, or to your villa or institute?"

Qu Shilin hesitated for a moment, and then immediately said.

"Let's go to the institute!"

She actually wanted to go to Wang Tao's house, she didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to talk to Wang Tao, Wang Tao knew too many things and hid too many things!

However, she also got a lot of things when she went out this time, and she really wanted to record all these things, especially about the prosthesis, Xiang Hongbin's actual combat ability was stronger than she expected, and she could start to promote it in the future!

So she had to go back to the institute.

"Okay."

Wang Tao nodded, and had to take a detour a little, but it was not a big problem.

"The experience of the past few days has been even more wonderful than my month!"

Qu Shilin sighed, and then looked at Wang Tao with blazing eyes.

"If there is such a chance next time, can I still be with you?"

Going out of the city is naturally dangerous, but Wang Tao's group of people is too strong! Although Wang Tao and they are few, Wang Tao gives her a higher sense of security than the army!

And there are fewer people and fewer people, at least when you run for your life, you can run for your life when you are targeted by such a terrifying giant eagle, which is also a sense of security to some extent!

"Haha, okay."

Wang Tao laughed, but he didn't refuse.

He also thought about asking Qu Shilin to go back to study and study, whether he could transplant those snake fruits back in the wild. Wang Tao originally planned to take Qu Shilin to see those snake fruits this time, but when he encountered the giant eagle, the plan was disrupted, so he could only wait for the next time.

"Thank you!"

Qu Shilin's eyes turned into crescent moons.

Wang Tao sent Qu Shilin to the research institute, and when they returned to their villa, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning.

"It's late, everyone have a good rest, it's been a hard time for everyone!"

Wang Tao said to everyone.

"Haha, it's a little bit unpleasant!"

The crowd went back laughing.

After Wang Tao returned to the room, he was not in a hurry to rest, he sorted out the harvest of this trip.

The purpose of going out of the city this time is not to hunt zombies, but to test everyone's actual combat ability after awakening. As a result, he encountered Cheng Yiyi asking for help, the corpse tide, the corpse group, the night demon lair or something, but he didn't fight less, so he also got a lot of loot.

When inspecting the trophies, Wang Tao thought that there was basically no problem with their strength test this time, and he had already figured out the combat effectiveness of the players. But there are some places that are not quite perfect, such as ...... He didn't have a chance to test the [Burst] ability that he had just fused.

It's a large-area lethal ability that should be very powerful, but using it consumes all of your current Awakened energy, making it a devastating move. So it's impossible to use it on some zombies with weak strength and a small number, it's too wasteful. But it's impossible to rush into the corpse tide and use it, that's looking for death...... So Wang Tao has never found a suitable opportunity.

"Next time......"

Shaking his head, Wang Tao continued to look at the loot.

Nuclei, Keys, Equipment, Elixirs...... It's basically all these things, and of course, there are two fifth-order night demon hearts.

He already had seven fifth-order night demon hearts in his hands. That's seven [Daredevil Type II]!

Although Wang Tao didn't use them much, it wasn't because they weren't strong, but because they couldn't use them for the time being...... Wang Tao is looking forward to going to the cave, and I heard that it is very suitable for the night demon to play.

"I'm going to buy some crystal nuclei tomorrow and raise these two 'Daredevil Type II' to 200,000 blood."

Wang Tao asked Qu Shilin to help sell [Night Demon Type I] last time and made 60 million, so it was naturally enough to buy some crystal nuclei......

After packing up the loot, Wang Tao looked at his information watch.

When he entered the city before, he received a bombardment of messages on his watch, and he didn't have time to look at it closely.

After taking a look at it now, I found that most of the information was sent by Cheng Yiyi.

"Wang Taoling is okay, right?"

"Wang Tao, haven't you come back yet?"

“……”

"I'm ready to borrow from other legions, I'll go to you tomorrow!"

"There was an accident, there is no way to act for the time being, the plan is postponed for a day, and I will look for you the day after tomorrow!"

“……”

"We're going tomorrow, you have to hold on!"

“……”

Looking at these words of concern for him, Wang Tao was naturally very comfortable in his heart.

But Cheng Yiyi said a little more, he is not in the city, Cheng Yiyi said so much, he can't see it!

Wang Tao took a look at the time when these messages were sent, and the time Cheng Yiyi said to go out of the city to find him was just a few hours later.

Wang Tao hurriedly replied to her with a voice message.

"Captain Cheng, you don't have to go out to find me, I've returned home safely."

You have to let Cheng Yiyi know that he is back, otherwise Cheng Yiyi will run for nothing, and it may be dangerous.

After the message was sent, no one replied for the time being.

"Did you sleep?"

Wang Tao was going to wait a little longer, if he didn't return, he would go in person, anyway, the Sixth Army was not far from here, and he couldn't delay a few times.

Then Wang Tao looked at the other news.

In addition to Cheng Yiyi, there are also Gu Yun, secretary general of the City Hall, Cui Sheng, secretary Cui Sheng, who previously served Wang Tao, Zhou Long, Huang Wu, Qi De in the big forces, Shang Heng of the Fourth Army, and Duan Xuchang, who is more familiar with him...... There are even people from the Sixth Legion, not Cheng Yiyi, but people who were in the exchange meeting before......

"Good Fellow......"

Wang Tao had contact information at the Changhe base, and basically all of them sent him messages.

Wang Tao checked them one by one.

Cui Sheng reminded Wang Tao that tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Wang Tao promised to do not have time to participate in the activities he promised before.

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve? To be precise, Chinese New Year's Eve has reached ......"

Wang Tao was a little caught off guard, time flies so fast......

He had promised the town hall that he would attend some of the events held by the town hall, which seemed to start on Chinese New Year's Eve and continue for several days.

If you don't catch up, forget it, since you have caught up, then Wang Tao will naturally not break his promise.

"I'm back, I'll be ready to attend the event."

Wang Tao replied to Cui Sheng.

The message sent by Gu Yun to Wang Tao also mentioned the event, but the focus was to buy rejuvenation potions and iron beetles from Wang Tao. said that as long as Wang Tao was willing to sell, the price was negotiable.

Zhou Long's people also have this idea.

The rule set by Wang Tao before is that you can only buy potions if you invest in the Sixth Legion, the more you invest, the more you can buy, which is naturally no problem for ordinary people, after all, this potion also has side effects, they can't eat it as sugar, and they have a few bottles in their hands to spare.

But Gu Yun is different, there are many of them, and they need a lot of money. Investing in the Sixth Army is okay, but it is not possible to invest too much. It's not a question of whether there is money or not, but it may also involve some competition issues.

So they specially contacted Wang Tao and asked Wang Tao if he could sell it alone, even if the price was high.

Wang Tao is naturally willing to sell, after all, people don't don't give money.

However, Wang Tao is not prepared to negotiate on his own in terms of what price and quantity to sell, and he is not good at business. For example, Yang Changhong, Lan Yulian, Gao Hua and others have all done business, and they are more suitable than Wang Tao in this regard.

As for the iron beetle, Wang Tao has two in his hand, one has additional fireproof ability, and the other can spray acid. You can sell the fireproof one.

The upper and lower limits of the increase brought by the iron beetle to people are relatively fixed, and the increase brought by the use of the iron beetle by the weak person is high, and the strong person like Wang Tao is more casual, and he can use it or not.

Of course, the specific price of selling is also left to others to negotiate, and Wang Tao only makes a decision at the end.

After returning all these messages, Wang Tao's message watch suddenly showed that there was a voice call, it was Cheng Yiyi.

"Wang Tao, you go downstairs and open the door!"

After connecting it, I heard Cheng Yiyi's somewhat suppressed excited voice.

“……”

When Wang Tao went downstairs, he saw a military off-road vehicle driving from a distance.

Whew——

The car braked sharply and stopped steadily in front of Wang Tao.

Cheng Yiyi, who was dressed in military uniform, immediately rushed out and hugged Wang Tao fiercely. Then she grabbed Wang Tao's arm and asked with some excitement and nervousness:

"It's great that you're back! You're not hurt, are you? And Yulian, they're all safe, right? ”

"Do you think I look like I'm hurting?" Wang Tao shrugged, then said with a smile, "We are all safe...... Come in and talk about it. ”

Everyone else went to sleep, and Wang Tao went to make a cup of hot tea for Cheng Yiyi.

Cheng Yiyi held the cup tightly with both hands, and looked at Wang Tao's eyes full of gratitude.

"I'm relieved to see that you can all come back! I really don't know how to thank you...... If it weren't for you, we might never have come back......"

"It's all your own people, don't be so polite."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

He felt that even if he didn't go to the rescue, Cheng Yiyi would have a chance to break through, after all, Cheng Yiyi and the three of them were all awakened, and their strength was not weak. But it's hard to say how much of their men will survive. Except for the three of them, there is a high probability that everyone else will die......

Cheng Yiyi shook her head when she heard this.

Although she and Wang Tao are indeed their own people, their brothers still settle accounts. And no matter how you say it, it is also a life-saving grace, or it has saved the lives of many of them, this favor she must remember.

"I wanted to go to you at the time, but they reminded me that I can't let your work go to waste, so I ended up running first......"

Cheng Yiyi's face was full of guilt.

Although Wang Tao is now back safely, who knows how many hardships Wang Tao has experienced?

It may have been the most rational thing for her to take someone away at that time, but she was still uncomfortable and guilty.

Especially when she returned to the base and found that Wang Tao had not come back, she chuckled in her heart, and had a feeling that she really deserved to die, if she had met Wang Tao at that time, maybe they could all be saved......

Even if Wang Tao is back now, standing in front of her well, her sense of guilt has not disappeared, and maybe it will last for a long time......

Seeing Cheng Yiyi like this, Wang Tao immediately patted her on the shoulder.

"Captain Cheng, you didn't come to me at that time, it was the most correct choice. Because my car is not the same as yours, I am the latest experimental product of the institute, and the acceleration and top speed are super fast! We wanted to run away, and it was a matter of minutes. And if you come here, you will become our oil bottle, affecting our overall efficiency. No one would be able to run back then......"

Wang Tao's words are comforting and true.

If Cheng Yiyi brought someone to look for him at that time, it would be really troublesome. After all, Wang Tao dared to seduce the corpse tide, in addition to his own strength, the crystal energy car with berserk mode was also a very important reason.

“……”

Cheng Yiyi heard Wang Tao's comfort, and the guilt in her heart really decreased, but ...... She was even more uncomfortable, because Wang Tao said that they were dragging oil bottles!

From the end of the world to the present, when has she ever been so disliked? It's good if she doesn't dislike others, which round will others dislike her? But looking back on the situation at the time, she really couldn't argue with it - they were indeed dragging oil bottles.

Cheng Yiyi's face turned bitter.

Others say that she is weak, she definitely can't bear it, she is a very strong person. But Wang Tao said that she was weak, but she was not angry at all, because Wang Tao had this qualification.

Seeing this, Wang Tao shook his head and said:

"Alright, it's all in the past. We're all alive now, and that's the best outcome. Don't dwell on the past, look ahead! ”

"Hmm!"

Cheng Yiyi nodded heavily, then looked at Wang Tao and asked:

"What was the situation when you rescued us?"

There is nothing to hide, Wang Tao explained briefly.

"...... at the time"

They really weren't in any danger at the time - they first attracted the attention of a large number of zombies, and before they were surrounded by zombies, they just drove the crystal car and slipped away. This is not as difficult as Cheng Yiyi imagined.

The only time there was danger was when you encountered the Giant Eagle after evacuating.

However, because Xiang Hongbin discovered the giant eagle in advance, they easily dodged the giant eagle's attack and avoided a big battle.

As for meeting Shang Qin in the underground garage later, encountering corpses when he came back, and destroying the Daredevil's lair on the way, these things are relatively easy.

So on the whole, their operation was not dangerous, that is, it was just a little waste of time.

"That's good......"

After listening to Wang Tao's words, Cheng Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about you, what happened to you after that?"

Wang Tao asked rhetorically at this time.

Cheng Yiyi also explained in detail what happened before.

"After you helped us lure the zombies away, we left the bunker, and at that time there were only a few scattered zombies left, and we easily broke out of the encirclement. Then we retreated in the opposite direction to you, and ran wildly. It took some time to completely get rid of the pursuing zombies, and there were no giant eagles or other corpses on the way...... We were able to get back to the base before dark......"

Cheng Yiyi sighed again after explaining.

"I found out that since we were saved by you, our luck has suddenly changed for the better......"

"If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future!"

Wang Tao smiled.

With Cheng Yiyi's previous state, it is indeed good luck to be able to return to the base safely. For example, along the way, Wang Tao encountered a lot of zombies and a giant eagle. If Cheng Yiyi and their giant eagles were to be overlooked, it is estimated that they would not be able to see Cheng Yiyi today......

"But ......"

Cheng Yiyi opened her mouth to say something, but she was a little hesitant, as if she was thinking about whether she should say it.

"But what?"

Wang Tao was a little strange.

"I don't know if I should tell you or not...... Forget it, we are all our own people, and we should tell you-" Cheng Yiyi struggled for a while, but still spoke, "I feel that our radio equipment seems to have been tampered with......"

"Huh? Having a problem with the radio equipment? Wang Tao's face suddenly turned grim, and then he thought of something: "Could it be that when we went to rescue you, the radio suddenly couldn't contact that incident?" ”

Wang Tao clearly remembers that after he accidentally contacted Cheng Yiyi, the radio of the two has always been able to contact. But when he came to the vicinity of the corpse tide and told Cheng Yiyi that he was ready to break through, the radio could not be contacted.

However, radio loss is a very common thing, Wang Tao didn't care too much about it at the time, he just felt that it was Cheng Yiyi's bad luck, Wang Tao could only try to buy time for Cheng Yiyi and them, and it was up to them whether Cheng Yiyi could escape or not.

But if it's not luck, but someone has done it, then this problem is serious - someone wants Cheng Yiyi's life, and even wants the entire Sixth Legion to be destroyed!

Not counting Wang Tao, there are only three awakened people in the Sixth Legion, namely Cheng Yiyi and two deputy legion commanders Lin Kaiyang and Pei Hai.

At that time, the three of them were all trapped, and at the same time, the elites they led were trapped.

If the three of them awakened and those elites all died, then the Sixth Legion would basically exist in name only.

"Hmm...... At that time, there did seem to be a bit of a problem with the radio. ”

Cheng Yiyi nodded and said.

"But it's not uncommon for radio to have some minor problems, and this time I went out, and similar problems have occurred several times before, so I didn't feel anything wrong at the time, I just thought it was my bad luck......

"But in retrospect, almost all of the times these problems occurred at critical times...... Isn't that a coincidence? ”

Cheng Yiyi's face is not very good-looking.

"But I didn't have any evidence, and the radio sent it for testing, but it didn't detect anything. I don't even have a single suspect...... So I don't know whether I should tell you or not, because I'm not sure if it's because Wang Tao encountered difficulties and was stimulated this time, which caused me to be a little suspicious......"

Although this is just her guess, it is indeed a possibility. After all, even if she is really unlucky, she can't all have all the unlucky things together, right?

However, compared to the fact that the radio was really manipulated, she hoped that she thought too much......

Hearing Cheng Yiyi's words, Wang Tao frowned.

"Tell me exactly when the unwired wires fell off."

"Okay." Cheng Yiyi nodded: "There have been more than ten problems this time......

After hearing Cheng Yiyi's words, Wang Tao's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Sounds like you've been tampered with......"

Cheng Yiyi and they went out this time, and there were about a dozen problems with the radio.

This failure rate is actually not high, especially since many of them are minor.

For example, their vehicles suddenly lost contact with each other, and then they slapped the radio and were able to get in touch again. This kind of glitch is not a hindrance, and they are all used to it.

After that, there were several radio failures, which caused them some minor effects. But the problem was not big, and they solved it quickly.

But there were two failures that caused more trouble, one was when Wang Tao came to rescue them, but they couldn't be contacted at the critical moment. Fortunately, Wang Tao's movement was big enough to attract a large number of zombies. She was also decisive enough and trusted Wang Tao to directly choose to rush out, and finally successfully escaped.

And another time...... It was Cheng Yiyi who went to rescue their team - Cheng Yiyi came out this time because the team of their legion was trapped, and she brought people out to rescue them - but the radio malfunctioned and missed a key piece of information, causing her to misjudge and be trapped by the corpse tide!

From the perspective of a bystander, Wang Tao feels that this situation is most likely problematic.

Think about it further, if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, then maybe the team of the Sixth Legion is trapped, and it is also the mastermind behind the scenes, the purpose is to attract Cheng Yiyi over.

But I didn't expect that it was the New Year, and there was a tide of corpses outside, and when all the survivors were at the base and didn't go out, Wang Tao ran out and happened to receive Cheng Yiyi's distress message......

"It is indispensable to guard against people, whether there is a problem or not, you should treat it as a problem. Think about it, if you die and the Sixth Legion is gone, who will profit, and maybe find out something...... By the way, did you tell anyone about this? ”

"I didn't ...... I also only thought of it today, and I will only tell you. ”

Cheng Yiyi shook her head.

"That's good, I suggest you check it secretly. If you need my words, just mention it. ”

"Good! Thank you! I haven't been going out anymore lately, and I have time to investigate slowly. But there's one more important thing......"

Cheng Yiyi nodded heavily, and then suddenly stared at Wang Tao.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Tao was a little puzzled.

"I also knew that when I was not at the base, you actually helped our Sixth Legion pull so much investment! When we went out this time, we lost a lot of money, and our vitality was greatly damaged, and it is estimated that we will not be able to recover for a long time. But these investments you have made have not only made up for all our losses, but also greatly improved our strength! If there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, I guess I am already angry......"
