The direction that Wang Tao led Bai Hao and the others to retreat was naturally the Shuize base.

Because there was nowhere to go for the time being, Mizusawa University was not small, and although there were 30,000 people in total, they could still fit in if they squeezed together. But in this case, the subsequent plans would have to change -

The defense of the Shuize University base is not very good. It can hold out in the early stage of the apocalypse, but it will definitely not work in the middle and late stages of the apocalypse. Therefore, we cannot stay in the Shuize base for long and have to move to another place.

Wang Tao had originally planned to transfer the survivors of the Shuize Base to the Redstone Base.

The Redstone Base is a proper apocalypse survivor base, with a large area, complete facilities, and even a large amount of fertile fields and vegetable gardens inside the base, which can easily accommodate 100,000 people. In addition, the Redstone Base is close to the Shuize Base, so it is relatively easy for these thousands of survivors to move there.

But now, the Redstone Base was in crisis and was breached from the inside. There were endless zombie rats and they could not be killed at all. Moreover, Bai Hao had just told Wang Tao that as more and more zombie rats were killed, some poisonous gas seemed to appear inside the Redstone Base. After humans inhaled it, they would cough and have a fever. If they inhaled too much, they would fall into a coma or even die. This was one of the main reasons why Bai Hao was determined to abandon the Redstone Base. Therefore, when Bai Hao announced the evacuation, the Redstone Base was basically completely destroyed.

The Redstone Base is gone, and the Shuize University Base cannot last long. So next, not only the survivors of the Redstone Base will have to move, but the survivors of the Shuize Base will have to move as well!
Wang Tao thought that it was better to do it now than to wait for a day, so he took the survivors of Shuize Base with him when the Red Stone Base was transferred. More people could take care of each other.

As for where they would transfer their target, Wang Tao set his sights on the Bauhinia Base.

There are actually quite a few survivor bases across the country, but in terms of which one is closest to the Shuize Base, the first is the Red Stone Base, followed by the Bauhinia Base. So if the Red Stone Base falls, the best outcome is to go to the Bauhinia Base. According to the information obtained in the previous life, the current Bauhinia Base should be fine and has not fallen.

Moreover, even if Zijing Base fell, we could still go to Wuyang Military Base. Zijing Base and Wuyang Military Base were in the same direction. Wuyang Military Base was safe and sound, and there were large aircraft in the base. If we really went to Wuyang Military Base, we might be able to transport the survivors directly to Changhe Base...

Anyway, Wang Tao has already thought of these retreat routes. Whether there will be any unexpected events in the future is not something he can predict. He can only ensure that this retreat route is relatively reasonable.

Of course, the problem now is not which base to retreat to, but to get rid of these zombie rats.

Wang Tao led the way, and Bai Hao led the convoy to follow him, killing countless zombie rats. But these zombie rats seemed to be endless, and there was no end in sight.

If Wang Tao hadn't been hovering above them, sweeping his eyes across, ruthlessly slaughtering a large number of zombie rats, and calming people's hearts like a god, they might have really been in despair.

Now as long as Wang Tao doesn't leave, they feel there is hope of breaking through the siege!
In fact, to be honest, the number of zombie rats killed by Wang Tao may not be more than that of the army.

After all, this is a regular army. They have modern thermal weapons, including tanks and cannons. With one shot, countless zombie rats were blown into pieces.

But the effects they present are quite different.

With just a glance, Wang Tao was able to clear a large area in front of him. A large number of crystal cores and trophy light balls exploded out, giving a strong visual impact.

The army's artillery shells dare not fire at such a close distance, otherwise they would kill 1,000 enemies but lose 800 of their own. They could only fire at the distant rat tide. Although they killed a large number of zombie rats, the visual effect was definitely worse because many people could not see it, and even the soldiers themselves did not know how many zombie rats they could kill with one shot. Moreover, they had no supplies and limited ammunition, so they could not just fire without hesitation. They still had to plan well...

In addition, Wang Tao's attack is more flexible. While clearing the way, he can also act as a firefighter. He can respond quickly and deal with danger wherever it occurs. He has saved many vehicles, making the survivors grateful...

So overall, Wang Tao is stronger than the entire army, and he has become the hope of all the survivors. As long as Wang Tao is there, they are confident that they can break out!
But what they didn't know was that although Wang Tao looked like he was doing it with ease, he was actually very tired, and it was all because of his own physical strength. He had never been so tired in this life! If he didn't think he had a chance to break through the siege, and if he didn't have a sense of responsibility in his heart, Wang Tao really wanted to run away.

"Hold on a little longer!"

Wang Tao gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.

He would occasionally take a short break in the convoy, but most of the time he was fighting.

Wang Tao didn’t know how many zombie rats he had killed. When he was almost tired to the point of numbness, he found that the number of zombie rats in front of him had decreased!

“Huh—as expected!”

Seeing this scene, Wang Tao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his efforts were not in vain.

"We are about to break through the siege, come on!"

Hearing that they were about to break through the encirclement, everyone was immediately excited. They all worked hard and must not fall in the darkness before dawn.

Finally, when Wang Tao used the heat ray to clear the zombie rats in front of the convoy again, there were no more zombie rats to fill in. They really rushed over!
"Oh my god! We got out!"

"There are no more zombie rats. There are really no more zombie rats!"

"Cheer up, we can't stop now, keep moving forward!"

"..."

While Bai Hao and others were excitedly directing the team to move forward, Wang Tao had already entered a car and closed his eyes to rest with a tired look on his face. No one dared or had the heart to disturb him, and even the driver did not dare to step on the accelerator. They looked at Wang Tao with gratitude. If it were not for Wang Tao, they would have been eaten and digested by the zombie rats by now...

Inside the car, although Wang Tao was resting with his eyes closed, he was not asleep. His other senses were still monitoring the situation outside. If any accident occurred, he could react immediately.

Compared with the excitement of others, Wang Tao was much calmer. In the eyes of others, this was a narrow escape, but in Wang Tao's eyes, as long as he persisted in this operation, he would definitely be able to escape.

The reason is simple. Lord-level creatures all have their own territories and they will not stray too far from their own territories.

Although some lords are mobile, such as the various corpse tides encountered in the previous life, the lords in them do not have a fixed territory and will move randomly. However, these corpse tides have traces to follow, and their traces can be discovered in advance.

These zombie rats suddenly emerged from underground, and did not migrate from other places. So they are most likely local rats near Hongshi County, and this area may be their territory. As long as they can leave the territory of these zombie rats, they can successfully break out.

Wang Tao didn't know where the zombie rat lord was, nor how big its territory was, but he firmly believed that as long as he kept walking in one direction, he could escape from the zombie rat's territory. Facts proved that his guess was correct, and they succeeded.

But we can't be careless now. If these zombie rats consume all the food in Hongshi County, or if they don't eat anything else but fresh blood, they will definitely migrate to other places, and become a mobile rat tide like those mobile zombie tides. Wherever they pass, no grass will grow. This is their most terrifying state!
Wang Tao didn't know when these zombie rats would turn into a mobile rat tide. Maybe they would never change, and they would just stay in Hongshi County and not leave. Or they might catch up with him, so he had to be on guard.

Fortunately, until the convoy arrived outside Shuize County, there was no trace of zombie rats behind them.

It was already afternoon at this time, and Wang Tao had recovered some strength. Before the convoy entered Shuize County, he flew back again. After making sure that there were no zombie rats chasing them, he allowed Bai Hao and others to enter Shuize County.

As soon as they entered Shuize County, there were obviously more zombies, but the army was powerful and all the zombies above level two in Shuize County had basically been cleared out by Wang Tao, so they had a smooth journey and arrived at the Shuize base smoothly.

Wang Tao had contacted Wei Zhenguo in advance, and when he saw the people coming, Wei Zhenguo quickly sent people to settle the survivors. "This time, it's all thanks to you, Mr. Wang! If you hadn't led us out, we would have probably been fed to the zombie rats by now! And on the route you led us to Shuize County, we basically didn't encounter any zombies, it was very safe, and it reduced a lot of risks for us..."

After making sure that they were completely safe, Bai Hao and others immediately saluted and thanked Wang Tao.

"We are all compatriots, so we should help each other!" Wang Tao shook his head, then smiled and said, "When we move to the Bauhinia Base later, we will have to trouble you to take care of the thousands of survivors in the Shuize Base."

If he was allowed to fight his way to the Bauhinia Base, Wang Tao felt that it would not be a big problem, but if he was asked to protect so many people to go to the Bauhinia Base, Wang Tao felt that with his current strength, it was basically impossible. So the next step would depend on Bai Hao and the others.

"Of course! This is what we should do!"

Bai Hao immediately nodded solemnly.

Wang Tao has already told him about the follow-up plan. The Shuize base can only be temporarily settled, and then they will have to move to the Zijing base in the next city. If they are unlucky, they may have to go to the Wuyang military base in the provincial capital. But as long as there is a plan, there is hope, and they will cooperate with Wang Tao unconditionally.

"Okay, then you guys chat. I'm a little tired and need to take a good rest."

Wang Tao waved his hand tiredly.

"Okay! Have a good rest, and leave the rest to us!"

Bai Hao and Wei Zhenguo nodded at the same time.

Wang Tao flew directly back to the villa, where Ding Yuqin and others were waiting for him. Although Wang Tao had already informed them that he was safe in advance, they were still a little worried without seeing me. Now that they saw Wang Tao return safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they saw Wang Tao looking exhausted and even Taxue lying on his shoulder and not wanting to move, they all felt sorry for Wang Tao.

Li Qiuyu, in particular, felt very guilty. She thought it was all her fault for exhausting Wang Tao's energy last night. She went at the wrong time, otherwise Wang Tao might not be so tired today.

Wang Tao felt the self-blame in Li Qiuyu's eyes, and immediately smiled and shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with you. The main reason is that we killed too many zombie rats this time. Didn't you see that even Taxue, who didn't fight much and only picked up the spoils, was exhausted!"

While speaking, Wang Tao touched Taxue's little head. Taxue meowed, indicating that he was indeed very tired, but if he had the dried fish, he would not be so tired.

Wang Tao immediately took out a lot of canned fish and handed them to Taxue. These were all collected by him specially for Taxue.

While walking in the snow and eating canned fish happily, Wang Tao briefly told Ding Yuqin and the others about the situation.

Hearing about the seemingly endless number of zombie rats, the girls felt their scalps tingling. Rats were the most disgusting thing, not to mention that these were zombie rats, and there were so many of them.

"That zombie rat leader is most likely a mother, capable of mass-producing zombie rats. It's a pity that it hasn't appeared yet, otherwise it would be much easier..."

While speaking, Wang Tao took out a large number of crystal cores.

Although this operation was very tiring, the gains were also great. Much greater than the mother zombie that was hunted in the farmhouse yesterday!

If obtaining those crystal cores yesterday allowed Wang Tao's blood volume to be raised to the second-level maximum, then obtaining these crystal cores today would allow Wang Tao's physique, agility and spirit to be raised to the second-level maximum.

These crystal cores have already been synthesized to 100% purity by Wang Tao in advance, so Wang Tao now directly finds the crystal cores he needs and then begins to fuse them.

He just told Bai Hao and the others to go home and rest, but he didn't mean just to eat and sleep, but to prepare to be promoted to the third level!

After the promotion, all fatigue is eliminated, all physical strength is restored, and even some hidden injuries in the body are healed. So there is nothing wrong with saying that he is resting and recovering his strength.

"Brother, you are going to be promoted to the third level!"

Although Jiang Shixue didn't want to disturb Wang Tao, she couldn't help but ask excitedly when she saw Wang Tao swallowing so many second-level crystal cores one by one.

"Well, I should be able to advance to level three today."

Wang Tao nodded. He was still relatively calm. He had seen all kinds of storms in his previous life. It was only the third level, so there was no need to get too excited.

"yeah!"

After getting a definite answer, Jiang Shixue was happier than her own promotion. The other people were also very excited. They naturally hoped that Wang Tao would get better and stronger.

"There are still quite a few crystal cores here. You can pick some that you can use."

Wang Tao pointed at these crystal cores and said.

When the next strategic shift takes place, the women can go out to fight and demonstrate their strength.

"Yes!"

While the girls were selecting crystal cores, Wang Tao had already fused all the crystal cores he needed. Then he felt his body suddenly lighten and become full of strength. His attribute panel changed from level 2 to level 3.

Wang Tao clenched his fist. He felt that he could shatter a building with one punch.

"The third level in this life is much stronger than the third level in the previous life!"

After sighing in his heart, Wang Tao closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body. Suddenly, he opened his eyes again.

"Huh? I actually sensed the situation of the fourth level. The promotion to the fourth level in this life is not the same as in the last life, especially for me..." (End of this chapter)
