Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1324 - 547: Serving as an Honorary and Permanent Com

Wang Tao and Qu Shilin, along with Gu Yun and others, went to the neighboring meeting room for a discussion—though there wasn’t much to discuss, because Wang Tao didn’t care who was qualified to use the Fourth-Order Gene Potion; that was for Gu Yun to worry about. Gu Yun already had everything prepared; he only needed the agreement of Wang Tao and Qu Shilin.

Of course, the Gene Potion was not free, and its price was not cheap either. After all, whether it was the raw materials or the energy Qu Shilin expended, these were all costs.

If the production were to increase later on, the price would definitely bee much cheaper. But for now, the Fourth-Order Gene Potion was not something ordinary people could afford.

Yet, there were no poor among those who had made it here, so having them share the research costs was reasonable.

After a brief discussion, Qu Shilin called in her assistant and handed over all the remaining Fourth-Order Promotion Potions to Gu Yun.

"Then we’ll be leaving first."

Wang Tao waved at Gu Yun, and then he left with Qu Shilin.

Qu Shilin was still a bit excited; after all, being able to develop Gene Potions was indeed a highly fulfilling achievement.

However, she took a deep breath to calm herself down because what she was about to do next was even more exciting—Ascension!

Qu Shilin didn’t go back to the research institute but followed Wang Tao to the villa. Naturally, during the Ascension, she would lose her perception of the outside world, and being by Wang Tao’s side would give her a greater sense of security.

By the time they returned home, it was already dark.

Qu Shilin took a deep breath and successively merged with the Crystal Cores Wang Tao had given her. Moments later, she lay down on the bed and fell into a sleep.

By this time tomorrow, Changhe Base would have one more Fifth Order Awakener.

After making sure Qu Shilin was tucked in, Wang Tao left the room.

"Is Shilin okay?"

Ding Yuqin approached with the question.

"It’s fine, just wait for her to wake up tomorrow."

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head, then looked at the others and said,

"Who wants one of these leopards?"

This time, he had brought back six Fifth Order Mutant Lord Leopards, but it was not feasible for Wang Tao to take them all with him whenever he went out. Thus, it was better to assign them to others, especially now that they were all Fifth Order, strong enough to handle the leopards without worrying about any hidden schemes.

Of course, Wang Tao could tell that the leopards had no ill intentions either. After all, they weren’t foolish; here they were fed every day, who would willingly return to that gloomy place...

"I want one!"

"I want one too!"

Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, and a few other girls raised their hands in succession.

Wei Zhenguo and the others were actually quite interested, but since they already had Black Snake, there was no need to pete with the others.

In the end, Wang Tao decided to give the six leopards to Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Yang Changhong, Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng, and Li Qiuyu—one for each of the six.

These leopards were not just strong in bat but could also serve as mounts, and most importantly, they were actually not too large in size, roughly the size of a horse, which made them convenient for car travel.

Something like Blacky, due to its size, was not convenient for travel by car and had to be transported using a large truck, which was somewhat troublesome. Then again, given its size, it didn’t really need to ride in a vehicle; in the future, it could directly carry a group of people to their destination. Although it couldn’t fly, its speed was not slow, at least faster than many vehicles. Especially in this ice and snow-covered world, it was much more useful than a car.

After determining the leopards’ new owners, Wang Tao municated with them, and they naturally indicated no problem.

Finally, Wang Tao looked at Little Huo and Little Bing playing together. Now, the only ones left at Level 4 were these two ferrets. Wang Tao decided that he would take them with him when he went out to see if there was an opportunity to promote them to Level 5 as well.

Although Little Huo belonged to Qu Shilin, they were all part of the same group, so there was no need to make distinctions. Moreover, Little Huo listened to Wang Tao very well, and its relationship with Little Bing was also good, so it was certainly no problem for Wang Tao to take them both out together.

Wang Tao planned to go out again after Qu Shilin’s Ascension. He hadn’t been to Silver Serpent Base yet, nor to the location Shen Cuishan mentioned that might be a suspected Summoning Altar; these were places he had to check out.

However, speaking of Silver Serpent Base, Wang Tao almost forgot about it.

He immediately contacted Gu Yun.

"Ah? You say there’s a Silver Serpent Base with a population of three to four hundred thousand far away?"

Gu Yun was somewhat shocked.

He knew that there must be other Survivor Bases in the world, but he thought that bases on the scale of Changhe Base would be very rare, even perhaps nonexistent.

It was not arrogance on his part; the reason Changhe Base had reached its current scale involved many coincidences and luck. Should they do it over again, Changhe Base might not exist... That’s why he was so shocked.

However, his shock soon turned to delight. Without conflicting interests, no one plained about too many Survivors.

There was a certain distance between Changhe Base and Silver Serpent Base, and at present, it seemed there would be no conflicts--on the contrary, there might be opportunities for cooperation in certain areas.

If the two bases could join forces, then the bined hundreds of thousands of people could obviously bring about greater value!

"Can you pinpoint Silver Serpent Base’s exact location? Can you get in touch with them?"

Gu Yun quickly asked.

"I’m not sure; I’ve only heard about this place, but I have not visited, and I don’t know what they use to municate. I might go to Silver Serpent Base the day after tomorrow to take a look, and I’ll let you know then."
