Chapter 1273: Chapter 525: Mammoth Base

"Evil God? What the hell is that?"

Wang Tao furrowed his brows.

He was an atheist and had never believed in such things.

However, now that it was the apocalypse, some survivors sought psychological comfort or a spiritual harbor, and began to believe things they hadn’t believed before. The Dusk Church from before was an example.

Not to mention that in the apocalypse, there were indeed many magical beings that nobody could explain, which to some extent could be considered "miracles."

So actually, many survivors were still willing to believe in gods and immortals and the like.

Changhe Base had always allowed freedom regarding beliefs because everyone needed a spiritual pillar. But ever since the incident with the Dusk Church, the Base had started implementing some relevant policies.

Simply put, now if you believed in the commonly known gods and immortals, no one would bother you, as long as you didn’t cause trouble or affect others. But if you believed in some messy stuff, you would be sent to reform through labor.

The Evil God mentioned in Gu Yun’s message, which required living human sacrifices to gain strength, obviously wasn’t anything proper.

However, based solely on one message, Wang Tao couldn’t judge what the specific situation was.

Wang Tao thought that this so-called Evil God might be some mutant beast with a certain level of intelligence; or perhaps some bizarre phenomenon; or even something the rulers had concocted to satisfy their own twisted pleasures. It might even be a trap, luring people there where an ambush was prepared...

"Is there more detailed information from Mammoth Base?"

Wang Tao asked.

"No, it’s the same as last time, communication was cut off before we could finish our conversation. And then we couldn’t get in touch again."

Gu Yun explained.

"What do you think?"

Wang Tao went straight to the point.

"I think whether you go or not is fine, those people didn’t plan to come to our Base anyway, and we don’t need to help them. But I am quite curious about Mammoth Base, it’s said that they have thousands of survivors... maybe, we can take this opportunity to take down Mammoth Base!"

Gu Yun didn’t hide anything and shared his true thoughts with Wang Tao.

He didn’t care about those who left Ocean Base, but since Mammoth Base was said to have several thousand survivors, getting those people to Changhe Base would be very good.

Previously, they had had no dealings with Mammoth Base, so even with this idea, it wouldn’t have been right to just go and poach people. After all, Changhe Base had hundreds of thousands of survivors, and every move made by City Hall had to be considered for its impact; they couldn’t tarnish City Hall’s reputation. If they were to actually do it, they needed a just cause.

And now, the opportunity had arrived — it wasn’t us initiating trouble with Mammoth Base, but the people from Ocean Base who sought our help, and we had an alliance with Ocean Base, so we couldn’t ignore it!

"You little..."

Wang Tao hadn’t thought so much, and he was somewhat at a loss for words after hearing Gu Yun.

But thinking about it, it made sense. In the apocalypse, these ordinary survivors were both insignificant and precious. Insignificant because they could die at any moment, and some rulers didn’t even regard ordinary survivors as human. Precious because the construction of the Base couldn’t do without these ordinary survivors.

Gu Yun, for the growth of Changhe Base, naturally wouldn’t mind having more survivors. And indeed, if the survivors really came to Changhe Base, their lives would definitely be better than before. It was a win-win situation.

"Alright, then I’ll make a trip and see what’s going on."

Wang Tao nodded.

"Thanks a lot! Right now, you’re the only one capable of traveling so far; otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t bother you..." Gu Yun was overjoyed, then added, "Also, you need to be careful, just in case it is a trap... Do you need manpower? I can assign you some troops!"

"I don’t need that, it’s more convenient for me to go alone."

Wang Tao shook his head.

Unless there were Sixth Rank Awakeners or Sixth Level Lords involved, Wang Tao wasn’t worried about any traps. Mammoth Base clearly didn’t have the capability; otherwise, they would have taken down Ocean Base long ago.

"Okay, then let me know when you’re setting off. I’ll prepare to receive the survivors here."

Gu Yun obviously assumed Wang Tao would bring back the survivors from Mammoth Base.

Wang Tao shook his head:

"Let’s say tomorrow morning, then."

"Good!"

After ending the call, Wang Tao briefly mentioned the matter to everyone.

Although they were curious, they didn’t say much, they just reminded Wang Tao to be safe. They came back for supplies this time and were preparing to continue to the Rift tomorrow to gather more Crystal Cores and advance to Level 5.

"Brother, I want to go with you."

Jiang Shixue suddenly tugged at Wang Tao’s clothes and spoke softly.

She felt that she could only advance by accompanying Wang Tao, as her previous advancements had all been made while by his side. Plus, with Lightning as a precedent, she took the initiative to speak up.

Wang Tao thought for a moment before nodding directly.

"Okay, then we’ll go together."

Before, he had let Jiang Shixue and Ding Yuqin go into the Rift to fight together because Jiang Shixue had Night Vision Ability, which provided wider visibility than the others in the Rift. However, it turned out that Night Demons with night vision capabilities were indeed excellent for exploring the Rift. They still had Sixth-Rank Night Demon Hearts in their possession; when controlling Night Demons, they could share the Night Demon’s vision and didn’t have to worry about being blind. So, letting Jiang Shixue follow him posed no problem.
