Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 393 Tampering

"Boss, thank you very much for your help... If you don't have any instructions, we will go back first..."

After passing the security check, Wen Guocheng and others quickly came to Wang Tao's car to express their thanks.

Although Wang Tao did not talk about remuneration, they are not so devoid of emotional intelligence. They have already discussed it. They will sort it out after returning, see if there is anything they can use, and find an opportunity to send it to Wang Tao.

Whether Wang Tao wants it or not is Wang Tao's business, but whether they give it or not is a matter of their character. After all, this is a life-saving favor!

Not to mention, Wang Tao is still a very strong boss. If he can establish a relationship with such a boss, even if it is just an acquaintance, it may be much easier to do things in the city in the future!

It's just that they are a little confused now. A person as strong as Wang Tao is just an ordinary member of the Spark Club, so how strong is the overall strength of the Spark Club?

"Go."

Wang Tao waved his hand.

Saving people is just a matter of convenience and takes no effort. If they were those with powerful influence, Wang Tao might ask for some reward, but these people would look poor at first sight, so they would regard it as doing good deeds.

After these people left, Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin.

"Are you going to my house, or going back to your villa or research institute?"

Qu Shilin hesitated for a moment and then said immediately.

"Go to the institute!"

She actually wanted to go to Wang Tao's house. She had no other intention. She just wanted to have a chat with Wang Tao. Wang Tao knew and hid too many things!

However, she also gained a lot of things during this trip, and she really wanted to record them all, especially regarding the prosthetic body. Xiang Hongbin's actual combat ability was stronger than she expected, and she can start promoting it in the future!

So she had no choice but to go back to the institute.

"it is good."

Wang Tao nodded, it would take a slight detour, but it was not a big problem.

“The experiences I’ve had these past few days are simply more exciting than what I’ve experienced this month!”

Qu Shilin sighed, and then looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.

"If there is another chance like this next time, can I still be with you?"

It is naturally dangerous to go out of the city, but Wang Tao and his group are too strong! Although Wang Tao and the others were small, Wang Tao gave her a higher sense of security than the army!

Moreover, there are advantages to having fewer people. At least they can run away very quickly. Even when being targeted by such a terrifying giant eagle, they can escape. This is also a sense of security to a certain extent!

"Haha, okay."

Wang Tao laughed, but he didn't refuse.

He also thought about asking Qu Shilin to go back and study whether the snake fruits in the wild could be transplanted back. Wang Tao originally planned to take Qu Shilin to see those snake fruits this time, but when he encountered a giant eagle, his plan was disrupted and he had to wait until next time.

"Thank you!"

Qu Shilin's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.

Wang Tao sent Qu Shilin to the research institute, and by the time they returned to their villa, it was already past three in the morning.

"It's already very late. Let's take a good rest. We've worked hard these days!"

Wang Tao said to everyone.

"Haha, it's a bit unsatisfactory!"

Everyone went back with a smile.

After Wang Tao returned to the room, he was not in a hurry to rest. He sorted out what he had gained from this trip.

The purpose of going out of the city this time was not to hunt zombies, but to test everyone's actual combat abilities after awakening. As a result, we encountered Cheng Yiyi calling for help, zombie tides, zombie swarms, night devil lairs, etc. We fought a lot, so we also got a lot of loot.

When looking at the trophies, Wang Tao thought that there was basically no problem with their strength test this time. He had already figured out the combat effectiveness of the team members. But there are still some things that are not perfect, such as... he did not have the opportunity to test the [Explosive Flame] ability that he just integrated.

This is a large-scale destructive ability, and the power should be considerable. However, using this ability will consume all the current awakening energy, which is a sure-fire move. Therefore, it is impossible to use it on some weak and small zombies. It would be too wasteful. But it was impossible to rush into the zombie tide and use it. That would be courting death... so Wang Tao never found a suitable opportunity.

"Next time……"

Shaking his head, Wang Tao continued to look at the loot.

Crystal cores, secret keys, equipment, potions...basically all of these things, and of course, two fifth-level Night Demon hearts.

He now has seven fifth-level Night Demon hearts in his hand. That’s seven [Night Demon Type II]!

Although Wang Tao doesn't use them much, it's not because they are not strong, but because they can't be used for the time being... Wang Tao is looking forward to going to the dungeon. He heard that it is very suitable for the performance of Night Demon.

"I have to buy some crystal cores tomorrow to increase the health of these two 'Night Demon Type II' to 20."

The last time Wang Tao asked Qu Shilin to help sell [Night Demon Type Ⅰ], he made 60 million, so it would be enough to buy some crystal cores...

After packing up the trophies, Wang Tao looked at his information watch.

When he entered the city before, his watch was bombarded with a lot of messages before he could take a closer look.

After looking at it now, I found that most of the messages were sent by Cheng Yiyi.

"Is Wang Taoyou okay?"

"Wang Tao, haven't you come back yet?"

"..."

"I'm ready to borrow people from other legions, and I'll look for you tomorrow!"

"There was an accident. I can't move at the moment. The plan has been postponed for one day. I will go find you the day after tomorrow!"

"..."

"We'll leave tomorrow, you have to hold on!"

"..."

Seeing these words of concern for him, Wang Tao naturally felt very comfortable.

But Cheng Yiyi said too much, and he was not in the city. Cheng Yiyi said so much, and he couldn't see it!

Wang Tao looked at the sending time of these messages. The time Cheng Yiyi said to go out of the city to find him was just a few hours later.

Wang Tao quickly sent her a voice message back.

"Commander Cheng, you don't have to go out to look for me. I'm back home safely."

Cheng Yiyi had to know that he was coming back, otherwise Cheng Yiyi would just make a trip in vain and might be in danger.

After the message was sent, no one responded for the time being.

"have you slept?"

Wang Tao was going to wait a little longer. If he still didn't come back, he would make a trip himself. Anyway, the Sixth Army Corps was not far from here, so it wouldn't take much time.

Then Wang Tao looked at other news.

In addition to Cheng Yiyi, there are also Gu Yun, the secretary-general of the city hall, Cui Sheng, the secretary who previously served Wang Tao, Zhou Long, Huang Wu, Qi De from the big forces, Shang Heng from the Fourth Army, and others who are familiar with him. Duan Xuchang... there were even people from the Sixth Army, not Cheng Yiyi, but people from the previous exchange meeting...

"Good guy..."

Basically everyone with Wang Tao's contact information in Changhe Base has sent him messages.

Wang Tao checked them one by one.

Cui Sheng reminded Wang Tao that tomorrow is New Year's Eve and Wang Tao still has time to participate in the activities he promised before.

"New Year's Eve is tomorrow? To be precise, New Year's Eve has already arrived..."

Wang Tao was caught off guard. Time flies so fast...

He had previously promised the City Hall that he would participate in some activities held by the City Hall. These activities seemed to start on New Year's Eve and last for several days.

If he didn't catch up, forget it. Now that he had caught up, Wang Tao would naturally not break his promise.

"I'm back and I'll be ready to participate in the event."

Wang Tao replied to Cui Sheng.

The message Gu Yun sent to Wang Tao also mentioned the event, but the focus was on buying rejuvenation potions and iron beetles from Wang Tao. He said that as long as Wang Tao is willing to sell, the price can be easily negotiated.

Zhou Long and others also had the same idea.

The rule Wang Tao had set before was that only those who invested in the Sixth Legion could purchase potions. The more you invest, the more you can buy. This is naturally no problem for ordinary people. After all, this potion also has side effects. They It's impossible to eat it as candy, just have a few bottles on hand as a spare.

But people like Gu Yun are different. They have many people and need a lot. It is possible to invest in the Sixth Army, but it is impossible to invest too much. This is not a matter of money, it may also involve some competition issues.

So they specifically contacted Wang Tao and asked Wang Tao if he could sell them individually, even if the price was higher.

Wang Tao is naturally willing to sell it, after all, it’s not like he won’t pay.

However, Wang Tao is not prepared to negotiate on his own regarding the specific selling price and quantity, and he is not good at doing business. People like Yang Changhong, Lan Yulian, Gao Hua and others have all done business, so they are more suitable than Wang Tao in this regard.

As for the iron beetles, Wang Tao has two in his hand. One has extra fire resistance, and the other can spray acid. You can sell the fireproof one.

The upper and lower limits of the increase that the iron beetle can bring to people are relatively fixed. Only weak people can use the iron beetle to increase the increase. Strong people like Wang Tao can use it or not.

Of course, the specific price is left to other people to negotiate. Wang Tao can only make the final decision.

After replying all these messages, Wang Tao's message watch suddenly displayed a voice call, and it was Cheng Yiyi.

"Wang Tao, go downstairs and open the door!"

After the call was connected, Cheng Yiyi's somewhat suppressed excitement was heard.

"..."

When Wang Tao went downstairs, he saw a military off-road vehicle driving over from a distance.

呲——

The car braked suddenly and stopped steadily in front of Wang Tao.

Cheng Yiyi, dressed in military uniform, immediately rushed out and hugged Wang Tao fiercely. Then she grabbed Wang Tao's arm and asked with some excitement and nervousness:

"It's great to have you back! Are you not injured? Are Yulian and the others safe too?"

"Do you think I look injured?" Wang Tao shrugged, and then said with a smile, "We are all safe... Come in and talk." Others went to bed, and Wang Tao went to make Cheng Yiyi a cup of hot water. Tea.

Cheng Yiyi held the cup tightly with both hands and looked at Wang Tao with gratitude.

"I feel relieved to see that you all can come back! I really don't know how to thank you... If it weren't for you, we might never come back again..."

"We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

He felt that even if he didn't go to the rescue, Cheng Yiyi would still have a chance to break through. After all, Cheng Yiyi and the other three awakened people were here and their strength was not weak. But it's hard to say how long the men they lead will survive. Except for the three of them, everyone else will most likely die...

Cheng Yiyi shook her head after hearing this.

Although she and Wang Tao are indeed the same person, they are still brothers who have settled their scores. And this was a life-saving favor, and it saved many of their lives. She must remember this favor.

"I wanted to go find you at that time, but they reminded me that your work cannot be in vain, so I finally ran away first..."

Cheng Yiyi had a look of guilt on her face.

Although Wang Tao is back safely now, who knows how many hardships Wang Tao has experienced?

It might have been the most rational thing for her to take people away at the time, but she still felt uncomfortable and guilty.

Especially when she returned to the base and found that Wang Tao had not come back, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt like she really deserved to die. If she had joined Wang Tao at that time, maybe they could both be saved...

Even though Wang Tao is now back and standing in front of her, her feeling of guilt has not disappeared, and it may last for a long time...

Seeing Cheng Yiyi like this, Wang Tao immediately patted her on the shoulder.

"Commander Cheng, you made the right choice not to come to me at that time. Because my car is different from yours. It is the latest experimental product of the research institute. It has super fast acceleration and top speed! We want to escape. That's a matter of minutes. And if you come here, you will become a drag bottle for us and affect our overall efficiency. At that time, no one may be able to escape..."

Wang Tao's words were comforting and factual.

If Cheng Yiyi had brought someone to find him, it would have been quite troublesome. After all, the reason why Wang Tao dared to seduce the zombie tide was not only his own strength, but also the crystal energy vehicle with violent mode.

"..."

When Cheng Yiyi heard Wang Tao's comfort, she felt less guilty, but... she felt even more uncomfortable because Wang Tao said they were dragsters!

From the end of the world to now, when had she ever been so disliked? It's good if she doesn't dislike others. How can she be disliked by others? But looking back on the situation at the time, she really couldn't refute it - they were indeed dragging their feet.

Cheng Yiyi's face turned bitter.

She would definitely not be able to bear it if others said she was weak. She is a very strong person. But Wang Tao said she was weak, but she was not angry at all because Wang Tao had the qualifications.

Wang Tao shook his head and said:

"Okay, everything is in the past. We are all alive now, which is the best outcome. Don't dwell on the past, look forward!"

"Ok!"

Cheng Yiyi nodded heavily, then looked at Wang Tao and asked:

"What was the situation like when you rescued us?"

There is nothing to hide, Wang Tao explained briefly.

"then……"

They were indeed not in any danger at the time - they first attracted the attention of a large number of zombies, and before being surrounded by zombies, they drove away in a crystal energy car. This is not as difficult as Cheng Yiyi imagined.

The only time there was danger was when we encountered the giant eagle after evacuating.

However, because Xiang Hongbin discovered the giant eagle in advance, they easily avoided the giant eagle's attack and avoided a big battle.

As for meeting Shang Qin in the underground garage, encountering a group of corpses when returning, destroying the Night Demon's lair on the way, etc., these things were relatively easy.

So overall, their operation was not dangerous, it was just a waste of time.

"That's good……"

After listening to Wang Tao's words, Cheng Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about you, how are you doing now?"

Wang Tao asked back at this time.

Cheng Yiyi also explained in detail what happened before.

"After you helped us attract the zombies away, we left the bunker. At that time, there were only a few scattered zombies left outside. We easily broke out of the siege. After that, we evacuated in the opposite direction to you and ran all the way. . It took some time to completely get rid of the chasing zombies, and we did not encounter giant eagles or other zombies on the road... We returned to the base smoothly before dark..."

Cheng Yiyi sighed again after explaining.

"I found that since being rescued by you, our luck has suddenly improved..."

"If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later!"

Wang Tao smiled.

Based on Cheng Yiyi's previous condition, they were indeed lucky to be able to return to the base safely. For example, Wang Tao encountered many zombies and a giant eagle along the way. If Cheng Yiyi and his giant eagles, Cheng Yiyi probably wouldn’t be seen today...

"but……"

Cheng Yiyi opened her mouth to say something, but hesitated a little, as if she was wondering whether she should say it or not.

"But what?"

Wang Tao was a little strange.

"I don't know if I should tell you...forget it, we are all our own people, and we should tell you--" Cheng Yiyi hesitated for a while, and then spoke, "I feel like our radio equipment has been hacked by someone." I've used hands and feet..."

"Huh? Is there something wrong with the radio equipment?" Wang Tao's face suddenly became serious, and then he thought of something, "Could it be that when we went to rescue you, the radio suddenly couldn't contact you?"

Wang Tao clearly remembered that after he accidentally contacted Cheng Yiyi, the two of them had always been able to communicate via radio. But when he came near the corpse tide and told Cheng Yiyi to prepare for a breakout, the radio failed to contact him.

However, radio contact loss is a very common thing. Wang Tao didn't pay much attention at the time. He just thought it was Cheng Yiyi's bad luck. Wang Tao could only try to buy time for Cheng Yiyi and the others. Whether Cheng Yiyi could escape depends on them. .

But if this is not luck, but someone has tampered with it, then the problem is serious - someone wants Cheng Yiyi's life, or even wants the entire Sixth Army to be destroyed!

Not counting Wang Tao, there are only three awakened people in the Sixth Army, namely Cheng Yiyi and the two deputy army commanders Lin Kaiyang and Pei Hai.

At that time, all three of them Awakened were trapped, and the elites they led were also trapped.

If these three awakened ones and those elites all die, then the Sixth Legion will basically exist in name only.

"Hmm...there does seem to be something wrong with the radio at that time."

Cheng Yiyi nodded and then said.

"But it is very common for the radio to have some minor problems, and similar problems have occurred several times before when I went out this time, so I didn't feel there was anything wrong at the time. I just thought it was my bad luck..."

"But looking back now, the few times that problems have arisen, almost all of them happened at critical moments... Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

Cheng Yiyi's face didn't look good.

"But I have no evidence. I sent the radio for testing, but nothing was detected. I don't even have a suspect...so I don't know whether I should tell you, because I'm not sure this is the case." It’s not because Wang Tao encountered difficulties and was stimulated this time, which made him a little suspicious..."

Although this is just her guess, it is indeed possible. After all, even if she is really unlucky, she can't have all the bad luck happening together, right?

But rather than having her radio tampered with, she hoped that she was overthinking it...

Wang Tao frowned after hearing Cheng Yiyi's words.

"Tell me specifically when those wireless wires were disconnected."

"Okay." Cheng Yiyi nodded, "There have been more than ten problems this time..."

After listening to Cheng Yiyi's words, Wang Tao's frown deepened.

"It sounds like your radio has been tampered with..."

When Cheng Yiyi and the others went out this time, there were probably a dozen problems with the radio.

This failure rate is actually not high, especially since many of them are minor failures.

For example, their vehicles suddenly lost contact with each other, and then they clicked on the radio and were able to contact each other again. This kind of glitch is not a hindrance and they are used to it.

Then there were a few more radio failures that had some minor impact on them. But the problem was not big and they solved it quickly.

But the trouble caused by two failures was relatively big. Once, Wang Tao came to rescue them, but they could not be contacted at the critical moment. Fortunately, Wang Tao made enough noise to attract a large number of zombies. She was decisive enough and trusted Wang Tao enough to rush out and finally escaped successfully.

And another time... Cheng Yiyi went to rescue their team - Cheng Yiyi came out this time because her legion team was trapped, and she led people out to rescue - but the radio failed and one of them was missed. The key information led to her misjudgment and she was trapped by the zombie wave!

From the perspective of a bystander, Wang Tao felt that there was a high probability that there was something wrong with this situation.

Thinking further, if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, then maybe the Sixth Legion team was trapped because of the mastermind behind it, with the purpose of attracting Cheng Yiyi.

But unexpectedly, it was almost the New Year, and there was a wave of corpses outside. When all the survivors were at the base and not going out, Wang Tao ran out, and happened to receive Cheng Yiyi's message for help...

"You must be on guard against others. Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, treat it as if there is a problem. Think about it carefully. If you die and the Sixth Army is gone, who will benefit? Maybe you can find out What...by the way, have you told anyone else about this?"

"No... I just thought of it today. I just told you."

Cheng Yiyi shook his head.

"That's good. I suggest you check it secretly. If you need me, just ask."

"Okay! Thank you! I haven't been out recently, so I have plenty of time to investigate slowly. But there is one more important thing..."

Cheng Yiyi nodded heavily, and then suddenly stared at Wang Tao.

"whats the matter?"

Wang Tao was a little confused.

"I just realized that when I was not at the base, you actually helped our Sixth Army raise so much investment! We originally lost a lot this time when we went out, and our vitality was severely damaged. We probably won't be able to recover for a long time. But these investments you made not only made up for all our losses, but also greatly improved our strength! If there is really someone behind the scenes, he will probably be furious..."
