MTLNOVEL Chapter 771: Companions by My Side
"Finally back!"
When Wang Tao returned to the Changhe Base, he found that Ding Yuqin and her group were waiting for him.
After getting the news that the last plane encountered a large number of flying zombies, everyone was very worried about Wang Tao. However, they also knew not to rush over, as they might only get in the way... Now that they saw Wang Tao return safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once Wang Tao landed, the Golden Eagle immediately shrank and flew onto his shoulder. Wang Tao petted the Golden Eagle's little head, then said to everyone:
"I encountered a disaster-grade flying zombie. It was a bit troublesome, but not too much of a problem..."
He explained the situation of that disaster-level zombie in detail.
To him, it might have been just "a bit troublesome," but to others, it was definitely a lethal threat! So it was necessary to make the situation of disaster-level creatures clear so that if they encountered them in the future, they could find ways to handle it.
"..."
After Wang Tao finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Such disaster-level creatures were terribly frightening, especially since they could fly. In some sense, they were like flying nuclear weapons! If such a monster flew to the Survivor Base, even a force as large as Changhe Base couldn't withstand it!
Previously, they thought that coming to the Changhe Base meant complete safety. Now it seemed they still had to be very cautious!
"Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. The number of these disaster-level creatures is very rare, and the chances of encountering them are quite small..."
Wang Tao comforted everyone.
But this was also true. Disaster-level creatures were indeed rare. If they did appear, Wang Tao would definitely take them out at the first opportunity, so there was no need to be too afraid. As long as they were more careful when going out regularly.
At this point, it was time to eat, and Tian Song had already arranged a welcoming banquet, inviting Wang Tao and his group to sit. Although the Changhe Base would be busy next, as the ten thousand survivors needed to be properly arranged, it didn't delay the time it took to have a meal.
"Thanks to Comrade Wang Tao for saving these ten thousand survivors..."
Tian Song raised a glass towards Wang Tao, speaking earnestly.
Although these survivors were brought back by everyone, without Wang Tao, these survivors would most likely not have been discovered by the Changhe Base, and thus they wouldn't have been rescued. So Wang Tao still deserved the most credit.
The others also looked at Wang Tao with gratitude and admiration.
"It's the result of everyone's joint efforts..."
Wang Tao shook his head, then clinked glasses with everyone.
Because there were many things to do tomorrow, everyone didn't drink much, just enough to express their intentions. The main focus was on filling their stomachs while discussing the future development direction of the base.
Tian Song and the others originally had a complete plan, but now with Wang Tao's arrival bringing ten thousand survivors and the entire Hope Research Institute, their previous plans certainly couldn't be used; they needed to make good use of this advantage and research it further.
The banquet ended quickly. Wang Tao was very tired today, and after saying goodnight to Ding Yuqin and the other girls, he went straight to sleep.
When Wang Tao woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Although the Changhe Base was almost fully constructed now, since the time was short, internally it was still a bit chaotic, including the military, which hadn't yet been divided into several legions. Arranging the ten thousand survivors Wang Tao brought would take some work.
After all, these were all people he brought over, so Wang Tao didn't go out for a few days and just assisted Tian Song and Bai Hao with the arrangements.
Simultaneously, Wang Tao also inquired about old friends from his past life. Old friends from other places had been found, only a few from Changhe Base were missing.
When Wang Tao informed the military about finding these people, it took less than an hour for a list to be delivered to Wang Tao's hand.
"Lucky, both Gu Yun and Cheng Yiyi are here!"
Wang Tao nodded with great satisfaction.
Changhe Base still didn't have a mayor or a secretary, but there was already a prototype of a City Hall, and Gu Yun was currently doing odd jobs, mainly handling trivial matters within the base.
Of course, although he's doing odd jobs, because his ability is strong, the military specifically noted it. After the establishment of the City Hall, he was likely to become a small leader.
As for Cheng Yiyi, she had only recently joined the Changhe Base. She had just escaped from the seaside a few days ago and had no position yet, waiting for the military's notification.
Wang Tao directly asked for these two people to be brought over.
Tian Song and the others naturally all agreed. Let alone Wang Tao asking for two people, even if he wanted to form an army, they would willingly provide the manpower.
With Wang Tao's current capability, whether at a military base or in Changhe Base, his status was extremely special. He was someone they wanted to win over or even win favor with, especially since Wang Tao's character was well recognized for being good, and he didn't like holding power, so they had to make sure Wang Tao felt comfortable, treating this place as his home.
Not long after, Gu Yun and Cheng Yiyi appeared in front of Wang Tao.
Since Wang Tao had not made a public appearance at the Changhe Base, they both didn't know him. They were directly notified by their superiors to come and were advised not to offend Wang Tao, causing them to be quite nervous, fearing they might have offended some bigshot...
"Hello, I am Wang Tao."
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Gu Yun..."
"I am Cheng Yiyi..."
After exchanging introductions, Wang Tao said to Gu Yun:
"Gu Yun, I have gone through your profile. From the time you arrived at the Changhe Base to now, you've done quite well! In a few days, our base will establish a City Hall dedicated to handling internal affairs within the base, and I will recommend you to be the first mayor..."
