Chapter 1305: Chapter 539: A Bit of Self-Awareness_2

After dealing with the three Zombie Lords, Wang Tao personally searched the factory to confirm there were no Level 5 Lords or higher. He was somewhat disappointed.

Although he also needed Level 5 Crystal Cores, he hoped to encounter a sixth-rank zombie. Hunting Level 5 zombies wasn’t challenging anymore; it was even becoming boring.

"Next, are you still going to look for those people?"

Jiang Shixue asked curiously.

"Let’s quickly take care of those Level 5 Elite Zombies and just leave, don’t bother with them."

Wang Tao had been following them purely out of curiosity. Since they had satisfied his curiosity, there was naturally no need to follow them any longer.

Whether they would fight among themselves or not, Wang Tao was no longer interested in finding out, since he was not the world’s policeman.

As for whether this could be considered stealing their spoils of war, Wang Tao thought definitely not. His original purpose here was to hunt zombies, so regardless of their presence, these Level 5 Lords would have had to die.

The only difference might be that if they were not there, Wang Tao would have personally killed all the zombies himself. But since they had already set up traps, it wouldn’t be right to leave them empty-handed, so he left the zombies below Level 5 to them, which might also result in some Crystal Cores.

The Level 5 Elite Zombies inside the factory were all not far from the three Level 5 Lords. Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue took immediate action and quickly eliminated all these Level 5 Elite Zombies.

After making sure nothing was overlooked, Wang Tao left directly. Peng Nan and his group were probably still inside because their countdown still had more than half an hour left. However, Wang Tao had no interest in meeting them again.

After leaving the factory, Lightning immediately grew in size, carrying Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue as they raced toward Feisha Lake Prison.

Golden Eagle was not around; who knew where it had gone to play. Although Wang Tao could call it back quickly, for just this ten-kilometer journey, it wasn’t necessary. Lightning was also very fast.

Before long, Wang Tao arrived at Feisha Lake Prison again.

At that moment, inside the prison.

Liu Bo paced back and forth in the hall, feeling somewhat anxious.

When Wang Tao had earlier asked if he was in any trouble, the first thing he thought of was that factory. But after all, there was a Level 5 Lord inside, too strong! If Wang Tao was just being polite, then mentioning it would have been pointless...

But considering this matter really related to the survival of the base, he eventually told Wang Tao.

If Wang Tao was just making conversation, then he wouldn’t be on the losing end. But if Wang Tao really could help him, then that would eliminate the only threat to Feisha Lake Base, allowing them to survive much longer!

As the saying goes, all disappointments come from hope. Had there been no hope, it wouldn’t matter, but Wang Tao gave him hope, leading to his complex mood now.

He hoped Wang Tao hadn’t deceived him and could indeed handle the Level 5 Monster Lord, but he was unsure about Wang Tao’s actual strength...

Regardless, he still hoped Wang Tao wouldn’t get hurt. After all, he had just pledged his loyalty to Priest Lord Wang Tao...

Amidst his conflicting emotions, a subordinate suddenly reported that Wang Tao had returned.

"So soon? Well, today was supposed to be just a reconnaissance, and the actual action would definitely be discussed later, especially against a Level 5 Lord, preparations must be made thoroughly..."

Hearing that Wang Tao had returned so quickly, Liu Bo felt somewhat disappointed. However, he quickly reasoned with himself and hurried to greet Wang Tao.

"The Level 5 Monster Lord in the factory has been dealt with."

But Wang Tao’s first words upon meeting left Liu Bo stunned.

"Ah? Dealt with?"

So quickly? Isn’t it less than an hour? Could it be true?

Liu Bo even doubted whether Wang Tao was deceiving him, but Wang Tao would gain nothing from such a lie...

"How so? You think I’m lying to you?"

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

"No, no, Priest Lord Wang Tao, since you said it’s dealt with, it must be! Thank you, Priest Lord! If there’s anything you need us to do, just say the word, and we will not refuse!"

Liu Bo quickly put on a smiling face.

He felt it highly likely that Wang Tao had indeed dealt with that Level 5 Monster Lord! Wang Tao’s strength was truly fearsome!

But to be safe, he decided to go see for himself after Wang Tao had left. This was a matter concerning the security of the entire Feisha Lake Base, and it could not be taken lightly.

"I don’t have any specific orders—" Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly changed his statement "No, there is something I need you to handle."

"Please command!"

Liu Bo’s expression suddenly became serious.

He knew that since he had pledged allegiance to Wang Tao, he was bound to help Wang Tao with his tasks. He just hoped the task would not be too difficult...

"Specifically... try to expand your population; your base’s population is still too small. Then, develop Feisha Lake; your strength is too weak."

Wang Tao shook his head.

"Uh..."

Liu Bo was a bit stunned; this task was just like the one his previous supervisor had given him!

His previous boss had assigned him the task of recruiting as many survivors as possible to expand Feisha Lake Base and to cultivate Ability Users and even Awakeners. When the time was right, they could cooperate with the higher-ups to accomplish a significant task.

Wang Tao’s task didn’t seem different from his former boss’s at all!
