MTLNOVEL Chapter 768: Giantification (Part 2)
"There are many mutant beasts in the mountains to the south, and some of them are quite intelligent. If you think you have the capability, you can try capturing one, but the prerequisite is that your strength is strong enough, at least Level 3 or above..."
Hearing that there are many intelligent mutant beasts, everyone was delighted. But upon hearing the requirement of being above Level 3 in strength, they immediately sighed. The condition was too harsh, implying that the mutant beasts in the mountains are very strong, so it's better to be cautious.
Wang Tao didn't go out today, as he waited for 24 hours for the volunteers who used the zombie virus vaccine yesterday to be sure there were no issues before preparing to leave.
"Wang Tao, rest assured, we will now fully commit to producing the vaccine, and we will also contact other large bases to have them produce it too. In a few days, we can start aerial drops!"
Du Longfei assured Wang Tao.
Although many places in the country have fallen, there are still many survivor bases holding on, like the Zijin Base or the Wuyang Military Base; there are actually quite a few places like them.
The Changhe Base here also knows the locations of many survivor bases and military bases. They plan to share the formula with them so they can start production if they have the capability. The Wuyang Military Base will continue with the aerial drops around Wuyang Province, while they will handle the others.
"Alright, thank you for the help."
Wang Tao was about to board the plane when Tian Song suddenly gave him a look.
"Wang Tao, don't forget what we talked about before!"
He was talking about relocating all the survivors from the Wuyang Military Base to the Changhe Base.
Wang Tao said he would seek others' opinions, and if everyone agreed, the Changhe Base would directly provide planes to bring them over.
"Don't worry."
Wang Tao nodded and then boarded the plane.
Rumble——
The plane left the Changhe Base, flying towards the Wuyang Military Base. Shortly afterward, Wuyang Province was reached.
But Wang Tao suddenly frowned.
"Giant zombie..."
A massive figure appeared in the distance—an imposing Level 4 giant zombie!
Wang Tao thought that by destroying a giant zombie nest beforehand, he could prevent the appearance of giant zombies, at least in Wuyang Province. But unexpectedly, there were still giant zombies. Apparently, there must be more than one giant zombie nest.
"Oh my god, what are you!"
Others also saw the giant zombie in the distance. It was their first time seeing a creature so large, even bigger than a Golden Eagle. Just seeing such a gigantic figure from afar filled them with fear. They dared not imagine how powerful that giant zombie's combat ability was!
Everyone instinctively looked at Wang Tao.
"Don't worry, such giant zombies are indeed strong, but they are only Level 4; it's not a big problem."
With Wang Tao's current strength, even a giant zombie of the same level couldn't match him. He wasn't afraid of this thing in the past life, so naturally, he isn't afraid now.
"That's good."
Seeing Wang Tao's calm demeanor, others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wang Tao wasn't scared, they felt less fear.
However, it wasn't enough just for Wang Tao not to fear. If other survivors encountered such a creature, they probably wouldn't have any chance to resist or even escape!
Therefore, Wang Tao did not immediately go to hunt the giant zombie but rather had Luo Guozhong quickly fly back to the Wuyang Military Base.
He feared there might be giant zombies near the military base too. Given the base's strength, it surely couldn't withstand such a giant zombie.
Upon seeing everything was intact at the Wuyang Military Base, Wang Tao slightly relaxed.
"You finally returned! There was a terrifying giant zombie earlier!"
As soon as Wang Tao got off the plane, Bai Hao, Ding Yuqin, and others rushed over to explain the situation about the giant zombie.
Wang Tao then learned that yesterday a giant zombie appeared in the Wuyang City urban area, and it wandered close by the military base.
Due to the sheer terror of this giant zombie, Bai Hao and the others had no intention of fighting, immediately ordering everyone to stay indoors without making any noise. The entire military base fell into a silence as if it had been overrun.
The giant zombie wasn't purposefully headed towards the military base, so by playing dead, they avoided detection by the giant zombie.
However, this incident terrified everyone. If the giant zombie had really come across the Wuyang Military Base, even if they had escaped, it would have resulted in numerous sacrifices...
"It actually appeared near the base..." Wang Tao stroked his chin and then addressed everyone, "Looks like we'll have to relocate again!"
Considering the military base's strength, it couldn't defend against a giant zombie. Defense structures were useless against it as it could easily step over them.
Moreover, there's not just one giant zombie. Who knows, there might be a large group of them slowly emerging somewhere in Wuyang Province.
Dealing with just one giant zombie is tough enough, let alone so many of them... So, with the appearance of giant zombies, the military base was no longer safe. Only a place like the Changhe Base with its high walls could hold off such threats.
"Moving again? To where?"
Everyone vaguely guessed what he meant.
"That's right, to the Changhe Base..."
Wang Tao briefed everyone on the situation of the Changhe Base.
Hearing there's another such large-scale base in the country left everyone shocked yet also longing.
"I agree!"
Bai Hao didn't hesitate and immediately agreed to the relocation.
Although moving to the Changhe Base would mean he wouldn't have as much authority as at the Wuyang Military Base, he didn't mind. As long as the survivors could live well, he was content to be an ordinary person.
Others also expressed agreement. With such a safe location as the Changhe Base available, they definitely wanted to go. Especially since they were willing to send planes to pick them up, it would be much safer than traveling from the Zijin Base to the Wuyang Military Base before and would save a lot of time.
"Alright, let's start packing. We'll leave in three days."
Wang Tao gave them three days to prepare since there were still many valuable items at the Wuyang Military Base that needed sorting, especially the scientific equipment, which had to be taken.
Wang Tao also informed Qu Shilin and the Hope Research Institute members about this move. They naturally had no objections, as long as they were provided a safe place, they didn't mind.
However, they were very interested in the giant zombies and even requested Wang Tao to bring them a giant zombie corpse for research.
This left Wang Tao speechless, but he didn't refuse. After relocating to the Changhe Base, he could fulfill their small request.
During Wang Tao's two-day absence, the Hope Research Institute continuously produced vaccines. With a production line at the military base, they had amassed a large stockpile of vaccines.
Seizing the three-day prep period, Luo Guozhong and the others conducted several aerial drops, and the news of the vaccine finally spread.
Survivors, having long awaited the existence of vaccines, were extremely excited. Although the vaccine had many shortcomings, its absolute advantages overshadowed the flaws. Especially when used with inhibitors, there was essentially no worry of dying from zombie virus infection!
Many survivors even speculated that since the Hope Research Institute had developed the zombie virus vaccine, there might be stronger vaccines or even a complete zombie virus antidote in the future. This sparked a renewed hope for the future among many survivors.
Luo Guozhong and others who flew for the drops clearly noticed that, post the first drop, the number of external survivors increased, and they had become stronger, even capable of directly confronting zombies.
