Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 536: Chapter 229: I Like You a Little Bit_3

After a simple dinner, Lan Yulian led Wang Tao into the room, and then closed the door behind them.

A moment later, Lu Yingfeng, who was eavesdropping outside the room, blushed.

“Tsk!”

…

The next day, early morning.

Lan Yulian was extremely gentle as she helped Wang Tao get dressed and freshened up, just like a very sensible newly-wed wife.

Wang Tao knew she was trying to use her tenderness to keep him here!

The two of them didn’t go anywhere today and just sweetly lingered together in the large courtyard all day.

Lu Yingfeng couldn’t stand it and slipped away directly. Only Jiang Shixue stayed with them.

And so another day passed.

Lan Yulian really wanted to stay glued to Wang Tao’s side; the feeling of being away from worldly concerns was truly exhilarating.

But she also knew she couldn’t be capricious. She had just become the leader of the base and there were many tasks to attend to; even taking one day off to waste was already a luxury.

Wang Tao, however, didn’t mind. He went next door to see Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan.

Nie Siyan had already brought the members of the Firefly Club to Zijin Base the day before, and Lan Yulian had given them a very good place. All the members of the Firefly Club were grateful to Nie Siyan.

Lan Yulian and the General had different ideas; the General was more exclusionary. Only their own forces were inside Zijin Base.

Nie Siyan, on the other hand, was more inclusive. She wanted to bring all the forces in Zijing City into the base—actually, the original base was created with this idea in mind, but unfortunately, it was destroyed due to an accident… In doing this, she was essentially continuing the legacy of her predecessors.

Wang Tao was more supportive of Lan Yulian’s idea. After all, there is strength in numbers. Besides, by having all these people in the base and possibly taxing them later on, the base could earn more money.

The reason the General hadn’t done this was that he felt other people were like ticking time bombs, with the cost of managing them not balancing the gains. But what he didn’t realize was that in the eyes of Wang Tao and others, the General himself was a ticking time bomb…

Lan Yulian was confident she could manage the base well. She even kept the General, Kong Xiu, and others around.

Her action confused the usually calm General, while the others were overjoyed.

Actually, many forces wanted to live in Zijin Base, but the General had never opened it up before. Now that the opportunity had arisen, they were naturally very happy.

However, Lan Yulian also laid out the harsh truth upfront: living in the base was okay, but they had to follow the rules. If they didn’t obey the rules, Prison Head and his ilk would serve as a warning to them.

Whenever Prison Head was mentioned, many felt a chill in their hearts.

Thinking about how Lan Yulian had ordered the execution of Prison Head without batting an eye, they felt even more respect towards this new female leader…

“Brother Wang!”

Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun greeted Wang Tao the moment they saw him.

“During this time, take the opportunity to enhance your strength,” Wang Tao said to them.

The two were already Level 3, and the upper limit of HP for Level 3 should be around one hundred thousand HP, but now they only had a little over forty thousand HP, so there was much room for improvement.

“Yes!”

The two nodded.

At that moment, Nie Siyan suddenly pulled out a small notebook and said:

“Brother Wang, Lan Yulian gave me a few positions to choose from, which one do you think I should take?”

Since Lan Yulian wanted to attract other people from within Zijing City to the base, she would no doubt have to offer them some benefits.

Someone with a good relationship like Nie Siyan would naturally get a lot out of it, such as an official position.

But without even looking, Wang Tao shook his head.

“You’re not the right fit.”

Nie Siyan was taken aback and then her head drooped like a frost-stricken eggplant.

“Oh… then I’ll go and refuse her. Actually, being the Big Boss of Firefly Club is quite good for me…”

At this statement, Wang Tao immediately glanced at her.

“You still want to be the Big Boss of the Firefly Club? Fine, then you can stay here. We’ll be leaving soon.”

“Huh?”

Nie Siyan looked up, her expression somewhat baffled.

It was then that Xu Xiaojun explained:

“Brother Wang won’t stay long at Zijin Base. We are heading to a military base.”

Unless Wang Tao brought it up himself, Xu Xiaojun wouldn’t speak out of turn. Thus, Nie Siyan was unaware of Wang Tao’s true destination until now.

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, she was stunned. Then, as if something dawned on her, her face suddenly showed a mix of surprise and excitement:

“Brother Wang! Do you mean, I can come with you?”

“If you want to stay in Zijin Base, I won’t insist,” Wang Tao said indifferently.

Thump!

Nie Siyan knelt in front of Wang Tao and wrapped her arms around his thigh.

“Brother Wang, I want to follow you! I’ll do anything for you! Please don’t abandon me!”

Nie Siyan suddenly realized why Wang Tao immediately rejected her as a candidate for the leadership of Zijin Base. Although her abilities indeed weren’t sufficient, she suspected that Wang Tao also had reasons to take her with him!

This time it was the same. Wang Tao didn’t give it a second thought and said she was unfit; she was heartbroken, thinking that even though she was already Level 3, she didn’t carry much weight in Wang Tao’s eyes. But in reality, it was not so!

Wang Tao was planning to take her with him!

In Wang Tao’s heart, she at least had a bit of significance!

As for choosing between staying at Zijin Base or following Wang Tao, there was no need to think about which choice had greater future potential. She would definitely choose to follow Wang Tao!

The more Nie Siyan interacted with Wang Tao, the more she understood his capabilities. She had never feared anyone as much as him before, and likewise, never admired someone so deeply!

Following Wang Tao might be dangerous, given the terrible situation in Wuyang City, but the benefits of being with Wang Tao were worth taking the risk!

Not to mention, she felt that she had truly fallen for Wang Tao…

Wang Tao hadn’t intended to take Nie Siyan with him since she was weak. But since Nie Siyan had risen to Level 3, she wouldn’t be a drag, and she had shown staunch loyalty, so he agreed to bring her along.

“Then focus on hunting zombies in the meantime and boost your strength; you’re still too weak,” Wang Tao said as he patted her head.

“Yes!”
