Chapter 508: Chapter 220 Lunatic_2
As for Wang Tao himself, he definitely wouldn’t use a dagger. Even if these two daggers had better attributes than his Bone Knife, he still preferred the mighty and dominating Bone Knife. After all, the daggers were too short to match Wang Tao’s combat style.
Delighted, Wang Tao packed away the daggers, feeling Jiang Shixue would probably like them.
…
Elsewhere.
After Wang Tao used a Self-Destruct Bomb to lure some zombies away to the north, Nie Siyan, who had been ready for a while, immediately rushed towards the diving gym from the north.
“Hehe…”
“Roar—”
Upon seeing Nie Siyan, the armored person, the zombies immediately pounced on her.
However, Nie Siyan had no plans to fight head-on and instead leapt up, jumping the height of several floors, clearing countless zombies, and then landed heavily.
Thump!
One unlucky zombie was squashed dead beneath her.
Nie Siyan kept moving without pause, jumping again.
Thump!
Thump!
After dozens of jumps, Nie Siyan successfully reached the lower area of the diving gym.
If it hadn’t been for Wang Tao drawing some zombies away from here, Nie Siyan might not have had room to land. Although with her current Level 3 strength, she wouldn’t be in much danger even if surrounded by these zombies, that was only for a short time. Prolonged exposure was a different story, especially since there were too many Level 3 zombies here.
The diving gym was sealed tight, with all doors and windows blocked off, preventing zombies from getting in and people from getting out.
Nie Siyan looked up at the building’s architecture, then with a powerful jump, she leaped onto the eaves. From there, she hopped like a flea all the way to the top of the gym.
This was her entry point into the diving gym.
Inside the diving gym, the pool had long dried up.
Over two hundred people were gathered in the dry pool, with rings of defensive fortifications built around it.
It was already dark outside, but few could sleep.
Seeing the tall, sturdy exterior walls of the diving gym, everyone prayed that no zombies with immense strength and destructive power would appear. Otherwise, those reinforced concrete walls might not hold.
If the zombies broke through the outer wall, no matter how strong their internal defenses were, they would not hold for long… It would only be a matter of dying sooner or later.
This group of survivors was clearly divided into three areas.
The first area had the most people, about a hundred or more. Leading them was a man in military attire, the leader of Zijin Base known as “General.”
The second area had the second most people, roughly fifty plus. The leader was a skinny man in prison garb. He was the Prison Head of Zijin Prison.
The last area, with only thirty or so people, was led by a young man who looked like a college student with slightly cracked black-framed glasses. He was Kong Xiu, the leader of the Ability User’s Alliance.
Each group had lost quite a few people. Originally, they numbered over five hundred together, now only half remained.
However, their leaders were not in much trouble.
Of course, their relative safety was only temporary.
“Is Lan Yulian reliable? I haven’t had much contact with this woman and don’t know her well,” Kong Xiu suddenly remarked, turning to the General.
After a moment’s silence, the General replied,
“I promised to give her a Crystal Core.”
Hearing this, Kong Xiu seemed surprised, while the Prison Head laughed heartily,
“I told you to offer her something good from the start, but you insisted on dragging your feet!”
“Not ‘I’, but ‘we’.”
The General corrected him.
The Prison Head’s expression instantly stiffened, and then appeared somewhat unsettled.
If the General was willing to offer his own Crystal Cores to get them all out, that would be fine, but if it required the Prison Head to contribute his own Crystal Cores, it would be somewhat painful.
“It’s just some Crystal Cores. As long as we’re alive, we can always earn them back!” Kong Xiu consoled at this moment.
Suddenly, the Prison Head spoke,
“…Give me the walkie-talkie; I’ll offer more Crystal Cores, and I’ll talk to her!”
“No.”
The General flatly refused.
Zijin Base had the strongest force. After discovering the plans of the prison and the alliance, the General intercepted and defeated them, then seized their materials, including the walkie-talkies. Thus, only the General could communicate with the outside world.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Of course, the General would never give them the walkie-talkie. What if they plotted with Lan Yulian to destroy Zijin Base?
Seeing the General outright refuse, the Prison Head harbored some resentment but did not say anything more.
They had fought with the General previously, and although he and Kong Xiu together could suppress the General, the General surprisingly had several strong fighters hidden among his ranks, and they ended up losing.
Unable to beat him, they had no choice but to comply; otherwise, they wouldn’t even get food.
“Sigh…”
The Prison Head sighed, looking rather sorrowful, as if it was due to not being trusted.
Believe it or not, he had indeed been contemplating joining forces with Lan Yulian to take down Zijin Base!
To him, friends? As long as their interests aligned, they were friends; if not, they were enemies, though his interests could change three times in a day…
Hearing the Prison Head’s sigh, the General’s expression remained calm, as if the misfortune wasn’t his own.
Kong Xiu, on the other hand, glared at the Prison Head without being too obvious.
What he regretted most right now was believing the Prison Head’s words and joining forces against Zijin Base.
Thinking about it now, he felt so foolish! Given the Ability User’s Alliance’s principle of preferring quality over quantity, they had very few members, just several dozen in total. With such a small number, he thought if he had thick-skinnedly approached the General for a place to stay, the General might have agreed directly—it would certainly have had a higher chance of success than their attempt to take down Zijin Base with the prison’s assistance! After all, how much space could his few people take up?
