BXBX NOVEL Chapter 322: 158 Jiang Shixue's Condition_3
Xu Xiaojun suddenly turned around and said to Wang Tao.
“Good.”
Wang Tao nodded his head.
The route Xu Xiaojun chose was still very safe, with only a few ordinary zombies appearing along the way, which Xu Xiaojun had headshot.
Yu Wei and the other two also visibly relaxed; they had all sustained serious injuries, and even with Xu Xiaojun by their side, they still felt insecure. It wasn’t until they entered the camp that they could completely let down their guards.
Wang Tao found these people quite interesting.
Yu Wei, Tian Peng, and Li Yi were not Ability Users and had no Internal Impurities, indicating they hadn’t fused with any Crystal Cores, but they all had an HP of 1000, had killed quite a few ordinary zombies, and were at the ceiling of what ordinary people could achieve.
But even at their ceiling, they were still within the category of ordinary people. Facing Elite Zombies with high HP was still very difficult for them.
However, these three obviously lacked self-awareness, daring to fight against Charger Zombies with 3000 HP… All one could say is that their courage was commendable.
If it hadn’t been for Wang Tao asking Jiang Shixue to throw a stone over, these three would have died long ago…
Then there was Xu Xiaojun.
Xu Xiaojun was broad-shouldered and robust, standing two meters tall and a bit overweight—although you could also say he was husky.
He was different from Wang Tao, although Wang Tao was also tall, most of his body was muscle, and his physique was very harmonious, with a special kind of beauty.
Xu Xiaojun, on the other hand, was mostly fat and had a big belly. He looked like a fatty.
But Wang Tao knew that generally, the bulkier someone like that was, the stronger and more defensively robust they were. If Wang Tao had a similar level of strength, and the two had to fight, it wasn’t clear who would win…
Xu Xiaojun had an HP of 1995, just shy of reaching 2000. He must have killed at least a dozen Elite Zombies, so his strength was still quite impressive.
Plus, he had a Hidden Attribute.
[Stick to One’s Heart: Not easily confused or led astray by external affairs.]
This Hidden Attribute seemed quite impressive, though its specific effect was unknown.
Xu Xiaojun had a bit of a stutter when he spoke, akin to social anxiety. To Wang Tao, he seemed a bit simple and clueless.
Yet, he was a very nice person, not only did he cover his teammates from fatal damage, but after Wang Tao killed the Elite Zombie, he personally delivered the Crystal Core.
It was important to note that this was a Crystal Core that could turn an ordinary person into an Awakener!
And it wasn’t just any ordinary person—Xu Xiaojun himself might have made use of it, since he probably hadn’t learned many Abilities. Despite this, he didn’t hesitate to pass the Crystal Core to Wang Tao.
Therefore, Wang Tao had a very good first impression of him.
“We’re here, this, this is our camp!”
At that moment, Xu Xiaojun turned his head and revealed a rather simple and honest smile to Wang Tao.
The location of this survivor camp wasn’t in the town center but a place called “Fish Bay Agritainment.”
The agritainment was by a large lake, surrounded by water on three sides with only one road in and out. As long as this road was well defended, there was no need to worry about zombies.
One had to say, this place was quite nice, with beautiful scenery, plentiful water sources, and great security.
It was just unclear whether there were fish in the water and if fishing was possible?
When Wang Tao previously traveled along Shuize River, he occasionally caught some fish that seemed to have mutated, growing very large. With his appetite, he couldn’t finish one in a single meal… Of course, before eating, Wang Tao would carefully investigate to ensure they were not poisonous.
While Wang Tao was pondering this, the group arrived outside Fish Bay Agritainment.
Since there was only one road to enter or exit the base, they had put a lot of effort into it, setting up various obstacles. Even if zombies broke in, it would take them a long time to get past these barriers.
At the entrance, two people wearing homemade Armor and holding spears were on guard in a pavilion. Seeing Xu Xiaojun and his group, they immediately opened the door and checked their eyes for any signs of infection.
This was the same eye check that everyone at Shuize Base had gone through. Those who were infected with the zombie virus had different eyes, and it was relatively easy to tell them apart.
However, this referred to people that were bitten by zombies or infected with the virus through blood contact. If it was someone with too many Internal Impurities, it wouldn’t be immediately noticeable without a detector.
The two guards were quite surprised when they saw Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue, a hefty man holding an umbrella leading a beautiful girl who looked like a student… It was a sight they had never seen, but it seemed harmonious to them.
Especially when the girl blinked her large eyes, looking at them with curiosity, they instantly felt as though they were about to die.
“May I ask if you are…”
One of them hurriedly approached Wang Tao to ask.
He felt Wang Tao’s large frame meant he was not to be underestimated. Whether he was as strong as Fatty or not, he likely wasn’t weak, so he was very polite.
“Wang Tao.”
Wang Tao nodded slightly.
“Mr. Wang Tao, welcome to our Fish Bay Camp! I believe that once you learn a bit more about our base, you will definitely want to stay!”
The man was very enthusiastic.
In a post-apocalyptic world, survivors themselves were a resource. Whether it be a small camp or a large base, development couldn’t be separated from the inclusion of survivors.
Therefore, when encountering survivors, it was natural to want to retain them if possible. After all, a small portion of strong survivors preferred not to be constrained and liked roaming outside the camps.
