Tao Rui didn't get out of the car to rescue them immediately. Instead, he enveloped them with his spiritual sense, observing their every word and action. He asked, "Where are you from? Where were you originally planning to go?"
The man who stopped the car lowered his head, his expression turning sad. He glanced back at his exhausted teammates before saying, "We...are coming from the safe base in S City. Someone previously visited from the fishing base and told us about the situation there. We plan to go there."
Behind the man, a girl in her twenties kept looking into the car. After a moment's observation, she was suddenly surprised and ran forward, boldly asking, "Excuse me, are you Tao Rui?" She bent down and saw Ji Yingying in the passenger seat. Her smile widened. "It's Ji Yingying! It really is you!"
Tao Rui smiled and nodded at her. The girl immediately said to the man, "Qin Fei, they are the leaders of the fishery base. This is indeed the fishery base's convoy." She looked back and saw the twenty-plus vehicles, including several double-decker buses. She was surprised. "Where are you going? Are you going to the S City base? They're gone there!"
Tao Rui had observed them carefully and knew they meant no harm, so he got out of the car and asked, "What exactly happened at your base? We received a distress signal, but the other party didn't get a chance to say anything. They just said the base was breached and then lost contact."
The man wiped his face and said sadly, "Our base has too many people, and there's been serious corruption among the management. Some people don't want to be inspected every time they enter the city, so they give gifts to their superiors, to the inspectors at the gate, and then swagger into the base.
Just two weeks ago, late at night, a small group of five people mutated and bit over twenty people living nearby. Those people usually worked at the base and were helpless. They were either bitten to death or fled in panic, then hid in fear to cover their wounds, only to bite others again after their mutation.
Then, for some reason, a zombie, as if following someone's orders, opened the city gate! Outside..."
The girl chimed in, "Suddenly, a ton of zombies appeared outside, all hidden. The patrols were terrified, and their first reaction was to shoot them. By the time they thought to close the gates, it was too late. Zombies swarmed into the base, and those who could escape took the opportunity to flee, and the vast majority died."
Some of us escaped together, some we met along the way, some died along the way, and some parted ways with us. In short, there are only about twenty of us left now. I don’t know where the others went, and I don’t know how many are still alive.
Probably because Tao Rui was the leader of the fishery base, they unconsciously relaxed their guard. Knowing what Tao Rui wanted to ask, they simply told him everything they knew.
Tao Rui had a vague guess that the person who could control so many zombies to attack the city might have to be a psychic zombie, and it must have reached level four at least, otherwise it wouldn't be so powerful.
The original storyline ended at this point, as the original owner's scumbag only survived until the fall of the city. So Tao Rui had no idea what the future would hold, and could only take things one step at a time.
While they were talking, people in the vehicles behind them also got out, wanting to hear about the safe base. They didn't expect that the base would be so dilapidated in the end.
They had never understood why Tao Rui insisted on universal military service. Everyone believed that every place should have soldiers, farmers, and workers, with everyone working together and doing what they excelled at to achieve the best results. Why did Tao Rui insist on training everyone?
Only now, after hearing about the plight of the safe base, did they realize that when faced with real danger, they couldn't rely on anyone else. Only by killing zombies themselves could they have a chance of survival. Perhaps, if they had good stamina and were quick at dodging, they could even escape immediately.
Lei Xiao trained them in how to defeat enemies with a single blow and how to dodge zombie attacks, while Ji Yingying taught them how to absorb spiritual energy and strengthen their physique. Now everyone was capable of killing zombies, even those who hated exercise and only cared about farming.
If they really encountered that kind of situation, maybe the ending of the safe base would not be as tragic.
At this moment, they were particularly grateful that they had gone to the fishery base and decided to follow Tao Rui. Tao Rui gave them more than just these things, he also gave them anti-poison pills. They truly realized that only by following Tao Rui could they maximize their survival in the apocalypse.
Not only those who like Tao Rui realized this, but even Liang Yurou, who hates Tao Rui, realized this.
She couldn't help but shudder when she imagined the safe base filled with zombies. Wouldn't that be the same as being locked in a supermarket?
Her original goal was also a safe base. If she had really gone there...
Then she might never be able to get out of this space for the rest of her life!
Tao Rui noticed something was wrong with Liang Yurou and immediately called her over. "Miss Liang, please treat them. It's not appropriate for them to get injured while traveling. Is that okay?"
Liang Yurou nodded and smiled, "Sure, I'll help you clean the wound, it will be healed soon."
"Are you Liang Yurou? A healer with the dual abilities of space and healing?"
Liang Yurou nodded stiffly. The mere mention of "healer" now brought back a pang of overtime. Who else could be so miserable? Still toiling away in the apocalypse, without a single day off? Why didn't the necklace she'd received have a cultivation method? Even Tao Rui could develop one.
Unfortunately, she felt it was too difficult. She practiced secretly for a long time but didn't make any progress. It would be great if she also had the ability to attack. She felt so insecure now.
Everyone said Tao Rui was reliable, but she always felt that Tao Rui wished she would die sooner and would definitely not protect her.
Liang Yurou was used to pretending. She had a lot of messy thoughts in her mind, but she looked gentle on the surface.
The girl had a scrape on the back of her hand, and after it healed, she exclaimed in surprise, "Doctor Liang, your healing skills are truly amazing. When someone first brought news of the fishing base to the safety base, the base leader considered recruiting you, but no team was willing to go on such a long-distance mission because it felt too dangerous. Otherwise, you would have been at the safety base long ago."
Liang Yurou froze. Just a day ago, she'd hoped to be recruited by another base, but now that she'd gotten her wish, why was she feeling so panicked? If someone had come to recruit her beforehand, she'd probably be finished.
As expected, nothing is reliable, only attack power is the most reliable.
Tao Rui made sure that none of them had any injuries before letting them get on the bus. There were only a few empty seats, so they sat in the aisle.
Among these twenty or so people, there are ten people with special abilities, all of whom are at level two or three, and are quite powerful. Joining them will be a great force.
Wei Qiang happened to be sitting next to the girl and asked curiously, "Are you guys too careless? You just followed us so easily? When we first entered the base, we observed for many days before deciding to follow Brother Rui."
The girl was surprised and said, "That's Mr. Tao! He's a triple-ability user, incredibly powerful, and no one has ever seen him defeated. He's also a compassionate doctor, treating countless people and developing so many medicines. It's a pity he's three cities away from us, so we can't visit him often. Otherwise, we would have come to your base to buy medicine long ago."
You may not know this at the fishing base, but Mr. Tao has a very good reputation outside. If it weren't for the fear of getting into trouble along the way, many people would actually want to join him. Of course, there are also many who doubt the fishing base's stability and are unwilling to go.
The girl shrugged and gave a somewhat sad smile. "Our base is indeed very strong, but what good is it? It will be finished sooner than you guys."
Wei Qiang was not happy. "What do you mean earlier than us? We are not finished at all, okay? Now we are going to the military base, which is really not something that can be easily broken into. I heard there are tanks inside. Oh my god, if the zombies really come, they will crush a large number of them. I will learn to drive a tank when I get to the base!"
"Then...what if you encounter the same situation as us?"
Wei Qiang chuckled, "Then you will be able to see the true strength of our base."
The girl, a Level 3 Wind-type user, didn't take such words seriously, feeling that Wei Qiang was a bit boastful. But later on in the journey, she finally understood why Wei Qiang was so confident.
Even the elderly and children can kill zombies in the fishing base. Once they put on raincoats and picked up weapons, they seemed to instantly become warriors!
She suddenly remembered that there was a ridiculous rumor about the fishery base. It was said that Tao Rui had developed a meridian map and asked everyone to practice it every day, saying that this would help them develop supernatural powers.
Not many people mention this matter, and when they do, they just laugh. This is probably Tao Rui's only black spot?
Now, she discovered that cultivation was real, and that cultivating superpowers was also real! They even had anti-poison pills that prevented them from mutating even after being bitten by zombies, and Tao Rui was actually a four-element superpower user!
The twenty or so new people who had joined felt like they were overwhelmed. The shocks that came one after another soothed their heavy pain.
It took the fish farm convoy seven days, a full week, to reach the military base. This base formed a triangle with the fish farm base and the security base, and the three were about the same distance apart.
It took those twenty-plus people fifteen days to escape from the safe base to the fishing base but they still hadn't arrived because they always had to take detours and hide here and there.
The fishing ground convoy arrived in seven days because Tao Rui was already level five, Fan Qi and Qin Yu were both level four, and Ji Yingying, Xia Lin, Lei Xiao and others were all level three, and their strength was very strong.
Now, there are very few level three zombies that everyone encounters. In addition, all of them have optimized their defenses, and thousands of people go into battle each time. The speed of clearing zombies on the road is very fast, and there is almost no time wasted. The only thing is that they cannot take the highway, so they have to go a little further around the city.
After arriving near the military base, they found the hidden military base with the help of soldiers who had left. Tao Rui immediately used his wood-related ability to remove the messy plants in front of the base gate, revealing the base's appearance.
Everyone cheered!
Many people were so excited that they took off their raincoats and hats and said excitedly: "We are finally here! We are really here! We did it!"
"We only lost five people. Thousands of people were relocated, and there were so few casualties. I can't believe it..."
"Brother Rui gave us a new life. We are safe now..."
Many people cried with excitement. It wasn't that they wanted to cry, but the excitement was so strong that they couldn't help but cry tears of joy.
But Tao Rui has discovered that there are about five hundred zombies in the base, including sixty level two zombies and eight level three zombies.
He immediately ordered everyone to be fully armed and start the attack!
This time he led all the psychics to go in and kill the high-level zombies first, and then opened the door for everyone to attack.
Everyone worked in tacit understanding to lure the zombies out of the base, trying to fight them outside the base, or even better, to lure them far away and fight them.
The base will be their home from now on. It's so dirty with dead bodies all over the floor. Even if we clean it up, there will still be shadows. It's better to move the battlefield far away.
The only people who didn't dare to fight and Liang Yurou who joined along the way were the thirty or so people who didn't know how to fight and dared not to fight the zombies.
They huddled together in the car, the door shut, and huddled together. Every time a passing zombie banged on the door, they were terrified, and then the zombie was attracted away by other people.
This happened again and again, and they were so scared that their bodies became numb.
After all the zombies were led away, someone cried and said, "It would be great if I could really cultivate superpowers. Once I get into the base, I will practice hard."
At this moment, the idea of cultivation took root in each of their hearts. Liang Yurou, in particular, noticed that Ji Yingying lived a much happier life than she did. Even Xia Lin, a swordsman, lived better than her. Even Xie Qiulan, a seventy-year-old woman, looked younger and younger, and was now out killing zombies.
This is all because they have special abilities, and their special abilities are much stronger than her spatial spiritual spring!!!
Everyone outside was killing people, and at the same time, they were extremely careful to protect themselves, at least, not to have their necks bitten off, their hearts ripped out, etc. We had already arrived at the base, and dying here would be too worthless!
I don't know if it was because their faith was too strong, or maybe they had gained experience fighting off a few waves of zombies along the way, but this time, not a single person died. There were certainly quite a few injured, but they were all healed.
Liang Yurou was surrounded by a crowd of people, all happy that there were no zombies around, chatting and laughing happily, and saying a lot of nice things to her. But this time, she didn't feel the slightest bit of joy at being welcomed, instead, she felt extremely anxious.
She is not even as good as them. She can't even feel their joy. She has no special abilities and can't kill zombies. She absolutely can't do this anymore!
The military base is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people, and it also has a well-equipped medical room, various research laboratories, weapons depots, tanks, etc.
Tao Rui led the base's personnel through a smooth move-in. He also set up a spirit-gathering formation in the square. This time, without his urging, everyone diligently cultivated, working incredibly hard. The newcomers, in particular, were ecstatic. What could be more thrilling than achieving superpowers? While success wasn't guaranteed, as long as there was hope, they would persevere!
At this time, Liang Yurou found Tao Rui alone and asked Tao Rui to help her become a superpower.
Tao Rui lowered his head to tend to the herbs in the medicine garden, his lips curled up slightly as he said, "If you want to become a superpower, you should go to the square to practice."
Liang Yurou lowered her voice and said, "I know you have a way. Otherwise, Ji Yingying, Xia Lin, Zhou Yangyang, and your grandparents, they can't all become superpowers. What is the probability that all the people you care about most will become superpowers? You must have another way."
Tao Rui watered the herbs and went to check on the next one. He asked casually, "Even if I had a way, it would definitely be very laborious and might even hurt me. Why should I help you?"
"...My healing ability can be upgraded, and so can my space ability. I can make great contributions to the base, just like I have in the past six months." Liang Yurou said this, but she didn't have much confidence.
As expected, Tao Rui laughed, and her laughter made her angry and embarrassed. She couldn't help but ask, "You can reuse Qin Yu, reuse those soldiers, and even reuse those new recruits, why don't you care about my superpowers? I also have superpowers, and they are very useful."
Tao Rui said nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because I also have a space, and I can heal illnesses. I've learned how to use people wisely. They are each in their proper place, and so are you."
"You want me to treat patients from nine to five. Is this the position I should be in?"
Tao Rui looked at Liang Yurou, and Liang Yurou instantly felt that Tao Rui was asking her, "Do you think it's wrong?" This feeling made her feel ashamed and angry, because when the apocalypse first came, she was the one in power, and Tao Rui was just a weakling whom she didn't even want to look at. Now she had fallen to the point of begging Tao Rui, but Tao Rui didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Liang Yurou has always been very opportunistic. No matter how angry she was, she suppressed it and said with her head down, "Then you name the conditions. As long as I can be as strong as Ji Yingying, any conditions are fine."
Tao Rui shook his head. "I only helped Yingying draw Qi into her body and become a beginner. She has now reached level three because of her hard work and practice every day, not because of me."
"But I know you gave her crystal cores, fire crystal cores. Lots of them."
Tao Rui continued tending the herbs in silence. About half an hour later, Liang Yurou could no longer wait, so he slowly said, "I want your necklace and the origin of it."
Liang Yurou's eyes widened instantly and she took several steps back. She subconsciously clenched her necklace tightly, her face pale. "What did you say? What do you mean?"
Tao Rui didn't look at her, only said: "I have researched many things, you should know that I am a smart person. Smart people will not believe that you have superpowers. Your space and healing powers all come from that necklace. There is no need to tell me that it is false. I only have this one condition. If you give me the necklace and tell me the origin of the necklace, I will give you superpowers and give you crystal cores with the same properties, plenty of them.
Think about it yourself, but don't try to deceive me, I can tell the truth from the false."
Liang Yurou was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.
The necklace was her biggest secret, and she never thought Tao Rui would guess it.
When did Tao Rui guess this? Why didn't she say anything? Could it be that someone wasn't jealous of such a good baby like hers?
Yes, Tao Rui has space and can cure all diseases, so she doesn't need this necklace at all. Tao Rui doesn't like this, but now she wants superpowers. In Tao Rui's opinion, this is the only thing she can exchange for.
Liang Yurou hid in the dormitory, her face turning pale and blue. Perhaps her necklace wasn't really a treasure after all? It was useless, more suitable for powerful psychics living outside. If she were at the base, where would she use the space? Where would she use the spiritual spring?
Even if she could farm in her space, Tao Rui's base was also always farming. Did she use the spiritual spring for beauty treatments? But what if Tao Rui stole her necklace and refused to help her?
However, if Tao Rui wanted to snatch it away, she would not be able to keep the necklace.
Liang Yurou clutched the necklace tightly, feeling upset in the dormitory.
On the other side, Tao Rui was still taking care of the medicine garden at a leisurely pace. There were many mountains near the military base, which was good because there were many herbs there. He transplanted them here, which made it much easier for Xie Qiulan to refine medicine.
After Liang Yurou left, the system said, "Brother Rui, you kept her just to exchange for the necklace? Do you think she would agree?"
[Tao Rui: She would agree because she doesn't dare to leave and doesn't like everything now. What she wants most right now is to gain superpowers and become stronger. The necklace is just useless to her.]
[System: ...No wonder you developed the anti-poison pill so quickly. This is what made her so frustrated. If I were her, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Brother Rui, you're really good at taking advantage of loopholes.]
Tao Rui smiled. "The Spacetime Bureau has a clear stipulation: treasures taken by force are considered foreign property and cannot be taken away when leaving the world. However, treasures obtained legally and legally belong to the tasker."
This infinitely large space capable of housing living things is incredibly expensive; we can't afford the spiritual springs alone right now. It's a rare opportunity, so of course we can't miss it. You see, I'll even save the world while I'm at it.]
What can the system say? All I can do is shout 666 for Brother Rui!
At first, it thought Tao Rui kept Liang Yurou just to make her feel miserable, and that Brother Rui had the world in his heart...
Fortunately, it is a partner bought by Brother Rui, not an enemy, otherwise he would not know when he was tricked, and he would be so stupid as to help count money. Just wait and see, Liang Yurou will definitely be grateful to Brother Rui.
Less than three days later, Liang Yurou came back, this time determined to exchange the necklace for a superpower. She also demanded Tao Rui promise that it must be an offensive superpower, and that someone be present to witness it, lest Tao Rui cheat.
It doesn't matter. People like Lei Xiao and Xia Lin don't have other special abilities, so they can just be sword cultivators, right? They can attack as hard as they can!
It would be even better to find someone to witness it, so that even if Liang Yuruo wants to regret it in the future, it won’t be possible.
So Tao Rui directly announced it on the radio, "Liang Yurou has a treasure that gives her spatial and healing abilities, but she thinks these abilities are too useless and not as good as the other psychics. She hopes to gain offensive abilities and become more powerful. So today she is exchanging the treasure for me, and I will help her activate her abilities in exchange for a lower level of my own. I have reached an agreement with Liang Yurou, and you are all witnesses."
There was an uproar in the base, and all discussions focused on the treasure and Tao Rui's ability to stimulate supernatural powers.
But no matter which one it was, they all knew it had little to do with them.
No matter where Liang Yurou's treasure was originally hidden, from now on, the treasure belongs to Tao Rui.
Even if Tao Rui was demoted to a lower level, he would still be a fourth-level psychic. Who would dare to snatch him away?
Even if Tao Rui could inspire superpowers, every time he did, his superpowers would be reduced. What merits could anyone offer to exchange with Tao Rui? To exchange, at least a similar treasure would be necessary, right? Everyone knew that pleading wouldn't work with Tao Rui. When Tao Rui got annoyed, he'd throw someone out. He'd actually done it before.
So even though everyone's discussion was heated, no chaos broke out. Lei Xiao quickly led his troops to reorganize the situation and told everyone to wait quietly for the results.
Tao Rui personally used his spiritual power to open up Liang Yurou's meridians. Of course, he had lied about lowering her level, otherwise it would have been troublesome if everyone came to find him. So, he was now at the peak of the fifth level of Qi training, much stronger than when he helped Ji Yingying and the others. It also became much easier for him to guide the Qi into Liang Yurou's body. After about ten minutes, Liang Yurou could feel the spiritual energy!
Tao Rui instructed Liang Yurou to observe the surrounding spiritual energy, and Liang Yurou quickly observed five colors of spiritual energy. This was a mixed spiritual root, with elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. This type of spiritual root was extremely difficult to cultivate. However, if someone possessed a strong character and diligently practiced a superior technique, they could become a fully-fledged master.
But that is too few. The vast majority of people fail to cultivate and no matter how hard they try, there is no effect.
That's why Liang Yurou didn't achieve anything after drinking the spiritual spring water. This was also because the skills she knew were too basic, not top-notch.
There were many earth-type crystal cores in Tao Rui's space, so she simply gave them all to Liang Yurou to absorb, and also gave her ten bottles of spiritual elixirs.
Three hours later, Liang Yurou opened her eyes in surprise, "I, I'm at level two of the Earth Element! I have superpowers!"
Tao Rui nodded and gestured to her to look at the few crystal cores that had not yet been absorbed. "These are for you. I have fulfilled my promise to you. You can leave now."
Liang Yurou subconsciously wanted to put the crystal core into the space, but when the crystal core didn't respond after she moved her mind, she remembered that she had no space left.
Her face darkened a bit, but she brightened up when she thought about her own powers. She put away the crystal core and stood up, dissatisfied, "Why is it an earth-type power? Gold, lightning, and fire are all very powerful, why did you give me an earth-type power?"
In order to prevent her from changing her mind and to let everyone see her true nature, Tao Rui pressed the broadcast button as soon as she woke up.
So now, everyone in the square was listening to their conversation. Hearing Liang Yurou being so picky, everyone was speechless. What kind of person is this? No wonder Tao Rui and the others had never liked her.
Tao Rui spread his hands and said, "It's not up to me to decide what abilities each person can activate; it's determined by their individual talents. I promised you an offensive ability because I can teach you how to use a sword. Do you want to learn swordsmanship? Like Grandpa Lei and Xia Lin."
Liang Yurou thought for a moment and shook her head decisively. Lei Xiao and Xia Lin practiced swordplay every day, rain or shine. She couldn't stand it. She already had earth-based abilities, so why were they still toiling away? Later, she could just absorb crystal cores to upgrade her abilities.
She tried to be unreasonable and said, "You have to practice sword skills yourself. You took such a good treasure of mine, so you can't just leave it like this, right?"
Tao Rui repeated their deal, "I'll help you activate your attack ability and give you dozens of crystal cores in return. You give me the necklace. We've reached a fair agreement. Now that the deal is over, you can leave."
"Tao Rui, how about this? Give me another 100 each of Anti-Poison Pills, Hemostatic Pills, and Anesthetic Pills..."
Before Liang Yurou could finish, Tao Rui said, "Not a single one. The deal is over. If you don't leave, I'll throw you out. You can try."
"You! Cold-blooded!" Liang Yurou strode away angrily.
She had said so much in the hope of asking for an exorbitant price and then paying it back on the spot, but Tao Rui didn't even listen to her finish and was so stingy that he refused to give her anything at all. She regretted it when she remembered that things in her space would never be lost, that drinking the spiritual spring water would give her eternal youth and longevity, and that even the fruits grown in her space tasted better than those grown outside.
She should have thought of other ways to let Tao Rui activate her superpowers. Why did she give the necklace away so easily?
She would never learn to be content or cherish things, so after the transaction was completed and she gained a Level 2 ability, she began to regret it. But just over three hours ago, Tao Rui had asked her three times, with everyone in the base as witnesses, and she had been absolutely firm at that time.
As soon as Liang Yurou walked into the square, she found that everyone was looking at her strangely, and many people were whispering, and she didn't know what they were saying about her.
She knew that they were jealous.
She had been able to obtain treasures before, and now she could exchange them for superpowers. She was truly a winner in life. They would definitely reject her for a while, but that was okay. She was a second-level superpower user, and her strength within the base was at the top of the pyramid. Gradually, they would accept her and treat her with kindness.
But this time she was wrong. After everyone had ostracized her for a while, they continued to ostracize her. No one wanted to befriend her. Especially when she once complained that Tao Rui was too ruthless and had actually exchanged her treasures, everyone's impression of her became even worse.
How could this be some kindhearted saint? She was clearly a greedy and hypocritical person.
The fact that she had acquired superpowers was already a source of tension, but the collapse of her character further escalated this tension into a state of disgust. Liang Yurou was completely unable to integrate into the base, becoming a lone ranger with superpowers.
After finally teaming up with others to search for supplies, she was so scared that she always hid in the back, and occasionally attacked, but the results were very poor. Therefore, she always gained the least from the missions of the whole team, and naturally received the least rewards.
Superpowers require practice. If she had the perseverance to practice, she wouldn't have been worse than ordinary residents before. So even with superpowers in hand, she could use earth spikes, sandstorms, and the like, but she just couldn't control them well, and her accuracy was wrong. She was like a beginner, but she stayed at the beginner level for too long.
She used to laugh at Tao Rui for being a weakling, but now she has become a complete weakling, even though she is already a second-level psychic.
After Tao Rui got the necklace, he went into seclusion for three days to completely refine it.
After being refined, the magic weapon will be bound to the soul and will no longer have any entity. Wherever he is, the magic weapon will be there.
Tao Rui also refined his system, storage space, and spiritual space together, that is, he integrated these three things with the Lingquan space.
From then on, his space changed drastically. In the vast space, there were land, mountains, lakes, and seas, forming a world of its own.
A spiritual spring in the space makes the entire space rich in spiritual energy and full of vitality.
A warehouse stores all his belongings, a basement also has a fresh food storage function, and a study room is his spiritual space.
The system was like the steward of this space. From now on, Tao Rui no longer needed to sort out the things he threw into the space himself; the system would do it for him. And if he needed to find something, the system would also help him. It was like he was carrying a fairy cave with him, the highest configuration he currently possessed!
Tao Rui was quite satisfied, and everyone could see that he was in a good mood.
How could he not be happy when he could buy something that originally required him to accumulate points from five or six worlds without spending a single point? Even though he was used to the ups and downs of life, he still felt very happy.
Ji Yingying was a little worried, saying that he shouldn't let everyone know about the treasure and that he could help people activate their superpowers. What if word got out and someone with even more powerful superpowers came looking for trouble?
The others were also very worried about this, so Tao Rui laughed, "If I don't tell anyone, do you think Liang Yurou won't tell anyone? Not only will she tell them, she'll also exaggerate and fabricate rumors to discredit me. It would be better to let everyone know from the beginning. There are over a thousand people here who are witnesses and all know the truth, so no one can fabricate rumors."
"As for those who are causing trouble." Tao Rui showed them his special ability and said with a smile, "I have reached level six."
He was already at the peak of level five before, and this time with such a dense spiritual energy in the space, he broke through right after practicing!
Spiritual spring water is something more advanced than crystal cores and jade. With spiritual spring water, cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort.
The people around Tao Rui practiced with him, and their abilities improved rapidly. However, they kept it a secret, so outsiders didn't know about it.
Tao Rui continued to research and optimize the anti-poison pill every day, which was equivalent to researching a vaccine for the zombie virus. This time, he did not fight alone, but began to recruit a professional medical team.
The road signs they made on the road also worked, and more and more people came to join them. Their base also established strict rules and regulations, and the daily inspections were extremely strict. Newcomers had to be isolated for at least a minute to strictly prevent things like what happened at the security base from happening.
The military base is well-equipped with communication equipment, and Tao Rui has already established contact with several major bases in the world, even though they are quite far away.
Initially, the other bases didn't pay much attention to this newly established small base. However, when Tao Rui mentioned the anti-venom pills, several bases became interested and soon sent helicopters to verify their effectiveness. When it was confirmed that the anti-venom pills were indeed effective, several major bases were shocked.
All the food and supplies Tao Rui needed to move to the military base were exchanged for anti-poison pills!
It's not that he didn't make the recipe public, but who told them they didn't know how to make it? Making the anti-poison pill as simple as making ordinary medicine would require some research.
The warehouse of the military base went from being empty to being full. After everyone moved into the base, the only thing they were worried about was gone. Besides practicing, they spent their days hunting, farming, and doing various jobs.
Not long after they moved in, the base began to have a strong atmosphere of life, the number of people gradually increased, and some people even got married and became pregnant. It was a completely prosperous feeling.
Of course, there were also some unscrupulous people who wanted to rob the big base directly, but no matter whether they came openly or secretly, they were all beaten to the ground by Tao Rui. Only then did no one dare to look down on Tao Rui anymore and they had to do business with him honestly.
You don’t have to look for things yourself if you can get them through trading.
Tao Rui suddenly became the biggest businessman in the apocalypse.
His popularity attracted many people to join him, which naturally also attracted zombies.
The spiritual zombie has gained intelligence and has a hunting plan. It brings its zombie army and ambushes outside the base again. This time, it ambushes Tao Rui's base.
Tao Rui realized after seeing it that it was no wonder that the security base was almost wiped out. This spiritual zombie was not level three or four at all, but level six, the same level as him!
