Chapter 1729: Chapter 732: The Purpose of Storytelling

"Did I see that right?"

This was the common thought among everyone after seeing Wang Tao take action.

Although they knew that if humans could successfully fuse certain Crystal Cores, they could become Ability Users. But... wasn’t Wang Tao’s displayed strength somewhat too outrageous? It was like a completely different style from them!

After showcasing his strength, Wang Tao didn’t pay attention to the shocked crowd and quickly collected the spoils of war dropped by the Level 2 Zombies. This time he obtained quite a few Level 2 Crystal Cores, bringing him a step closer to Level 3.

"The survivors are below, they should be safe. You go ahead. I’ll look around to see if there are any powerful zombies nearby."

Wang Tao said to the soldiers who had just gotten out of the vehicle.

"Yes!"

The soldiers instinctively replied, but then they remembered Wang Tao wasn’t their superior. They quickly contacted Bai Hao on the helicopter via radio for permission, and then hurriedly went to the underground parking lot to rescue people.

Wang Tao then took a stroll around the hospital to see if there were any other Level 2 Zombies.

Due to the commotion caused by the helicopter, all the zombies in the hospital were attracted, so Wang Tao, with a frenzy of attacks, took care of all the zombies inside the hospital.

There were still quite a few zombies outside the hospital, but they were mostly Level 1 Ordinary Zombies, which didn’t interest Wang Tao. Occasionally encountering one or two Elite Zombies, Wang Tao easily dealt with them.

Considering he was here to help Bai Hao and the others with the rescue, Wang Tao didn’t wander far. Once they were almost done, he flew back to the hospital and expertly boarded the helicopter.

Bai Hao and others looked at him as if he were a monster, and Bai Hao’s expression was somewhat complex.

"Uh, aren’t you flying back? I thought you would fly back yourself..."

He had considered that Wang Tao must have true abilities since he came from Shuize University, but he didn’t expect Wang Tao’s abilities to be this great. Especially since their helicopter was nearly shot down by zombies, and it was Wang Tao who saved them, their so-called preparation probably seemed clownish in Wang Tao’s eyes...

"I’m tired, flying’s too exhausting and riding the helicopter is more comfortable."

Wang Tao smiled, still as unpretentious as ever.

"Alright!"

Bai Hao said no more and immediately called his men to return to the city.

On the helicopter, Bai Hao looked at Wang Tao, hesitating to speak. Although he was the leader of the Survivor Base, from a certain perspective, he was like an emperor there. But in front of Wang Tao, he suddenly felt a bit restrained...

This is the effect of the disparity in strength!

If Wang Tao was just a bit stronger than him, Bai Hao wouldn’t react like this; at most, he would feel a little envious. But Wang Tao’s strength was terrifying—he could not only fly but also shoot laser beams from his eyes! He could kill zombies instantly! A zombie that could shoot down a helicopter could not withstand even a few seconds of Wang Tao’s attack!

Compared to them, Wang Tao seemed almost like a different species!

When the gap becomes so large, they become awed, even somewhat afraid to speak.

"Does General Bai have anything to say?"

Seeing Bai Hao’s hesitation, Wang Tao smiled and asked directly.

Seeing Wang Tao was still as approachable as before, Bai Hao no longer hesitated.

He first thanked Wang Tao sincerely, as it was Wang Tao who saved them from a potential crash. As the leader of the Red Stone Base, if something happened to him, the entire base could be in danger. So, in small terms, Wang Tao saved his life; in larger terms, he saved all the survivors at the base.

After expressing his thanks, he asked about Wang Tao’s strength. He was genuinely curious; even if Wang Tao chose not to answer, he felt he had to ask.

Fortunately, Wang Tao didn’t hide anything and explained to Bai Hao and the others.

"Zombies have levels, and so do Ability Users. An ordinary person who successfully fuses a Superpower Crystal Core can become a Level 1 Ability User, whose strength is approximately equivalent to a Level 1, Elite Zombie. I am a Level 2 Ability User; the zombie that threw the stone slab at the helicopter was a Level 2, Lord Rank..."

With Wang Tao’s explanation, they gained a clearer understanding of the strength of Ability Users. They had never seen an Ability User before, and Wang Tao was the first. But they had seen plenty of zombies, and through comparison, they could roughly gauge the strength of Ability Users.

However, the more they understood, the more they admired Wang Tao. Because to them, Wang Tao was ’just’ a Level 2 Ability User, whose strength was supposed to be on par with a Level 2, Elite Zombie. Even considering the humans’ smarter brains compared to zombies, making them potentially stronger than Level 2, Elites, he shouldn’t be stronger than a Level 2, Lord Rank Zombie, right?

Yet Wang Tao wasn’t just slightly stronger than a Level 2, Lord Zombie; he completely overpowered them! Wasn’t his strength akin to a Level 3 Ability User?

If Wang Tao knew their thoughts, he would surely just smile without commenting. Could a Level 3 Ability User possibly be as strong as he is? Keep dreaming.

"From the combat power you’ve demonstrated, Ability Users are the future direction of human evolution! I feel these firearms will eventually become obsolete..."

Bai Hao said, somewhat plaintively.

Although he had foreseen this when the Superpower Crystal Cores appeared, it wasn’t a hundred percent certain. But after seeing Wang Tao’s combat power, he could pretty much confirm it; Ability Users are indeed the future of humanity!

"So you all need to put in more effort, gather more Crystal Cores, and strive to become Ability Users!"
