BXBX NOVEL Chapter 309 - 155: Level 3!_1
She didn’t understand her daughter’s abstract words, so how could Wang Tao?
“Can you be more specific?” he asked. “How powerful is it, where does it come from, what does it want to do…”
Wang Tao spoke as he walked towards Jiang Shixue.
At the same time, his eyes occasionally flickered with green light—not because Wang Tao had some special ability in his eyes, but because he felt that if he could show some commonalities with Jiang Shixue, perhaps she would lower her guard a bit. After all… everyone was a monster.
Sure enough, Jiang Shixue didn’t dodge this time. She let Wang Tao approach and touch her head. At his touch, she disappeared in a whoosh, like a startled rabbit, and reappeared ten meters away.
The red glow in her eyes grew even brighter, and Wang Tao felt the air around him grow colder as if he was enveloped by negative emotions like irritability, resentment, hatred, and the urge to kill.
Hiss—
Wang Tao shivered.
Her eyes are so strong! Much stronger than his own, which only had night vision and slightly enhanced sight!
Wang Tao was envious.
He didn’t dare to approach her again, given Jiang Shixue’s unstable condition. After all, if she turned into a zombie because of some stimulus, it would be rather embarrassing.
Li Qiuyu was even more bewildered by the side.
Since Jiang Shixue had taken her away, Jiang wouldn’t even let her touch her. Li couldn’t hug her daughter, let alone pat her! But Wang Tao had just rubbed Jiang Shixue’s head…
Not only could Wang Tao understand her daughter’s words, but he was also capable of having intimate interactions with her, something she couldn’t do…
“Why do I feel like I’m the outsider?”
Li Qiuyu felt a bit dispirited.
Wang Tao, of course, was unaware of Li Qiuyu’s thoughts. He softly soothed Jiang Shixue for a while.
After a moment, the red glow in Jiang Shixue’s eyes grew weaker.
“It… is very powerful. You… can’t beat it. It hates… water, noise… I’ve been… up close, touched it… It’s very powerful! I don’t know… what it wants… but if you don’t leave, everyone… will die…”
It hates water and noise?
This was important information!
Wang Tao silently took note.
Besides, if Jiang Shixue had been able to get close to it, she was no simple character either!
As for the monster being so powerful that the base couldn’t defeat it, Wang Tao didn’t doubt it. After all, three months ago it already had 10,000 HP—who knew how strong it had become after another three months…
Wang Tao planned to start moving the base as soon as he got back.
Then he asked Jiang Shixue about those Poisonous Fog Zombies. Through her broken and abstract words, Wang Tao also got the gist of the matter.
As he suspected, those zombies were influenced by Jiang Shixue!
But Jiang Shixue’s abilities were limited; she couldn’t completely control the zombies, just try to keep them from attacking the base.
When the Toad zombie came later, and it led the zombies in pursuit of Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue could no longer control them.
The HP of the Toad zombie wasn’t full indeed because Jiang Shixue had attacked it. But it wasn’t because Jiang saw Li Qiuyu and then attacked the Toad zombie; it was because the Toad zombie was Jiang’s senior in school, and they had some conflicts before.
Jiang Shixue was now in a half-human half-zombie state, and the zombies wouldn’t attack her, provided she didn’t attack them.
When she took Li Qiuyu away, she also killed all the zombies around the base, which was why it was so quiet when Wang Tao returned to the base.
Regarding why those Poisonous Fog Zombies came to the base, Jiang Shixue explained it was because the Toad zombie sensed the Gorilla zombie was dead and it wanted to take over its territory…
“Thank you so much! We’re going to move the base now. Do you need any of this?”
Wang Tao pulled out potions like Inhibitors and Deactivating Agents from his pocket. But when he looked up, Jiang Shixue had vanished.
“She seems to have this stuff…” Li Qiuyu said, pulling several bottles of inhibitors from her pocket with a sigh, “She gave them to me…”
Wang Tao shook his head.
“Let’s go; we should head back first.”
“But Little Xue…”
Li Qiuyu’s face was filled with sadness.
“If there’s a chance, we’ll see her again.”
Wang Tao offered reassuring words.
But those words were just consolation—after all, the zombies wouldn’t attack Jiang Shixue voluntarily; she could simply hide among them and become untraceable. Not to mention, she might turn into a zombie soon…
Wang Tao took Li Qiuyu back to the base.
But as soon as he entered the base, Wang Tao suddenly felt his hair stand on end and shivers ran down his spine!
He recognized that feeling—the monster had seen him!
“What’s wrong?”
Li Qiuyu looked at Wang Tao, who suddenly froze, and asked in confusion.
“It’s here!”
Without explaining, Wang Tao blurted out and immediately grabbed Li Qiuyu by the waist and ran toward the main building at full speed.
Wang Tao’s perception was very strong; he was certain that the monster had arrived! He even suspected that Jiang Shixue’s sudden departure was related to the monster’s arrival!
“Everyone, grab food, weapons, evacuate the base!”
Wang Tao reached the bottom of the main building and bellowed.
The survivors were somewhat stunned and some didn’t even understand what was happening, since they had just received orders to rebuild the base.
“Quick, quick, quick! Don’t dawdle; if you’re slow, you’re dead!”
Upon hearing Wang Tao’s emphasis, everyone understood this time. Trusting Wang Tao, they realized trouble might be at hand and immediately picked up whatever they could and ran outside.
