For instance, a Level 1 ability user might recognize a Level 2 ability user, but if a Level 1 ability user encountered a Level 3 ability user, they might not be able to tell.

The two inspectors here couldn’t sense what level of ability users Wang Tao and his group were; they felt just like ordinary people. But who would have the courage to venture outside at a time like this, if not someone extraordinary?

Could they be Level 3 ability users?

Are there Level 3 ability users now?

Or is it that they have mastered control over their abilities so well that they are able to conceal their aura?

Regardless of which it was, these four people were undoubtedly formidable, and they should try not to offend them at all costs! He reminded himself to give a heads-up to the others at the base to be careful.

A moment later.

The two inspection officers both gestured invitingly.

“Mr. Wang, please!”

To enter this base, registration was required, and recording the name of one person sufficed. Although identity cards were no longer used and there was no way to verify if the name given was real, the purpose of the base wasn’t to check household registrations, but to have a way to address people in case of future events.

“I just heard you mention that many outsiders have recently come to your base? Can you tell me what’s going on?”

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s question, the speaker didn’t hesitate and immediately replied:

“That’s right. In the past two months, indeed, some outsiders have passed through Duzhu Town. I’ve heard them say that many of them encountered zombie waves, their encampments were destroyed, and they had no choice but to flee. Our military base in Wuyang City is relatively well-known, and many people are aware of it, so they wanted to come and try their luck to see if they could get into the military base…”

Wang Tao suddenly understood.

It was the zombie waves. When he had been with Yang Changhong, they had experienced a wave of zombies. The sheer horror of it made him suspect that few bases could withstand such an assault.

But had there been frequent zombie waves recently? Could there be an underlying issue or a presage of some sort?

Wang Tao didn’t know, but the frequent occurrence of zombie waves was certainly not a good sign.

“Thanks.”

Wang Tao casually took out a Level 1 White Crystal Core and tossed it to the man.

The man caught it instinctively, but when he saw what he was holding, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Lucky day! What’s the meaning of this? A tip? Using Crystal Cores as tips? How generous!

“Mr. Wang, you’re too courteous!”

The man’s face was smiling, but it was an obviously professional, fake smile. However, now, he grinned as brightly as a blooming chrysanthemum.

Then, as if something dawned on him, he hurriedly added:

“Oh, right, Mr. Wang, are you passing through here to go to the military base as well? I must make it clear to you; I’m not sure what the situation is like over at the military base, but I know it is extremely dangerous! Not just the military base, the entire Wuyang City urban area is extremely dangerous! Over the last few months, quite a few people have passed through here, aiming for Wuyang City or the military base, and we’ve mostly lost contact with them… At first, I thought they were safe, but then some came back, and they said it was too dangerous there, a certain death trap! Those who managed to escape back turned into zombies just half a day later, which caused a lot of chaos in our base…”

This news was almost the same as what Wang Tao had heard. He nodded slightly:

“Thank you, this information is very important to me. So, you’re saying that there are virtually no survivors in the Wuyang City urban area?”

“Yes, virtually none! Perhaps there’s the odd one or two, it’s hard to say. But generally speaking, it’s almost deserted; for the living, it’s practically hell on Earth!”

The man looked genuinely frightened, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

“Alright, I’ll give it more thought. I’ll go inside now.”

“Ah, please do!”

The man immediately bowed.

Wang Tao’s car was the last in line. Once he went in, there were no more people.

After Wang Tao’s car entered, the man straightened up immediately.

His companion looked at him with envy.

“Damn, what kind of stroke of luck is this? You got a Crystal Core just like that?”

“Heh! Jealous, aren’t you? Learn from this! If another rich person comes along, next time it could be your lucky break!”

“Makes sense…”

Having passed the check and entered into Duzhu Town’s camp, one could see several guards behind the gate. However, besides two of the guards holding rusty pistols, the rest were armed with long knives, spears, and the like. These guards were also Level 1 ability users, clearly indicating that the camp’s defenses were not particularly strong.

But as long as they could stop the zombies, it was enough; Duzhu Town didn’t have too many zombies, nor any particularly strong ones, so the camp’s defenses were obviously sufficient.

“These buildings must be quite old. If it were peacetime, staying here for a few days might be quite nice…”

Seeing the scenery outside, Nie Siyan sighed.

It was raining corrosive acid rain now, and one couldn’t stay out in the rain for long. The streets of the base were empty. However, there were thoughtful signs with arrows pointing the way.

“Straight ahead is the parking lot; there’s also a trading hall and living quarters. Let’s head there,”

Wang Tao said to Xu Xiaojun.

“Alright.”

Soon, Wang Tao’s car arrived at the parking lot.

The parking lot had been adapted from an abandoned building, without a door, but with walls and a roof sufficient to shield from the corrosive acid rain.

At the entrance to the parking lot was a balding middle-aged man, around fifty, who was registering names in a small notebook.
