Chapter 223: Chapter 126 Unlucky Shao Yong_2, Translator: 549690339, “Everyone head back and get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow morning, we’ll take him down together!”, Wang Tao said to the crowd., “Understood!”, The group nodded., “Oh right, I forgot something.”, Wang Tao took out some shimmering Crystal Cores., “These are the Crystal Cores I’ve prepared for you all. Take the opportunity to fuse with them today.”, After Wang Tao collected all the Crystal Cores at the base, he synthesized them with his own. However, he didn’t create any Orange Crystal Cores; the synthesis was all Purple and Red ones., Although they weren’t Orange, the success rate for the Purple and Red ones was quite high, and what’s more, these had no side effects or impurities, making them better than the Ordinary Orange Crystal Cores!, Once everyone had fused with these Crystal Cores, their strength would be greatly enhanced, and dealing with Shao Yong tomorrow would be much safer., However, Wang Tao didn’t reveal all the Crystal Cores at once. He only brought out a portion, which were the ones the group had fused with before., Upon seeing Wang Tao suddenly bring out so many Crystal Cores, all of them Purple and Red, the committee members were immediately taken aback., If they remembered correctly, weren’t all the Crystal Cores that Wang Tao took from the base White and Blue?, Did the quality just upgrade to Purple and Red after passing through his hands?, But no one thought that Wang Tao could synthesize Crystal Cores—it wasn’t a normal thing to consider., They figured Wang Tao must have killed a lot of Elite Zombies outside and that these were the Crystal Cores he had accumulated, now being distributed to everyone for their use!, This deeply moved everyone. Wang Tao had given so much for them, for this base!, After all, the value of these Purple and Red Crystal Cores was much higher than those of the Blue and White ones!, “Thank you!”, There was nothing much to say. They could only express their sincere gratitude., “Haha, let’s all do our best to resolve Shao Yong easily and smoothly tomorrow!”, “Let’s do this!”, The group nodded, each taking the Crystal Cores they needed and went to rest., Wang Tao returned home and contacted Han Rui to ask about the situation., Han Rui had indeed discovered something., “I sensed that Shao Yong sneakily came out to check, and then he went back to the restricted area…”, “He’s quite shrewd. As long as we’re sure he hasn’t escaped, that’s fine. You’ve had a tough day, so you don’t have to engage in tomorrow’s fight. You should rest for the day,” he said., “It’s not tough at all. Don’t forget, I’m also part of the base!”, After ending the conversation with Han Rui, Wang Tao briefly explained the situation to Ding Yuqin., Ding Yuqin was still in the dark; she actually believed that zombies had appeared inside the base—not just her, aside from the few committee members, Han Rui, and Gao Hua, no one else knew about Shao Yong., So Ding Yuqin was somewhat panicked. She was very satisfied with the base and really didn’t want to move again… Now, hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, she finally breathed a sigh of relief., “As long as the base is safe, that’s good…”, “Don’t worry too much, let’s go to sleep,” he said., “Okay!”, Atop an academic building within the restricted zone,, a burly man dressed in ragged clothes and bandages stained with blood was keenly observing the survivors inside the base., He stuck out his somewhat elongated tongue and licked his cracked lips, his eyes brimming with malicious intent., “All of you people will become my slaves!”, He was Shao Yong., Shao Yong felt that he had been very unlucky lately., He was first trapped in the hospital while killing zombies because he ventured too deep—actually, he still didn’t understand what exactly had happened back then!, Facing the Elite Zombies, which he could usually deal with quite swiftly, he suddenly felt very fatigued that day and, most importantly, his strength had diminished significantly!, Because his strength had decreased too much, not only did he fail to eliminate the threat, but he almost got caught as well!, Under such urgent circumstances, he had no choice but to use a handgun that he had obtained as a trophy after killing a police officer., The gunshot attracted all the zombies in the hospital. Although he found a safe place to hide, he was trapped and couldn’t get out., With no other options, Shao Yong had to call for help., However, the rescuers he called for were also trapped, and besides, several of them died… Although the few remaining people regrouped with Shao Yong, they were still trapped, so what was the point?, Luckily, there’s strength in numbers, especially as Shao Yong’s power slowly returned. Eventually, they found another opportunity and managed to break free from the hospital., Of course, it didn’t come without a cost. The cost was that all of the Ability Users who came to his aid died, leaving only him to escape., But to him, that didn’t matter., Subordinates were just subordinates. If they died, they died., Even though they were Ability User subordinates and their deaths were a bit of a waste, they were just Ability Users after all! You could find several loyal minions, give them a Crystal Core to eat, and that’s it., As for whether it’s suitable or whether the side effects are too severe, that’s not something he would consider—why would he think about how his minions feel when he doesn’t care himself? That’s impossible., After all, he only needed to know that when he offers a Crystal Core, there will be a bunch of people ready to bow down at his feet…, Shao Yong had finally escaped the hospital, but once he came out, he was infuriated to find that his car had been plundered by the survivors! Not only were all the various weapons and supplies gone, they even took the freaking car key!
