Chapter 526: Chapter 226 Let Him Stay_2

Jade Lotus whispered an explanation.

“That’s good,” Wang Tao nodded and then added, “Let’s go rescue them tomorrow, what do you say?”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking!”

Jade Lotus was eager to try.

She gestured to everyone to enter the building.

Jade Lotus briefly explained to Wang Tao about her taking over Zijin Base.

In short, there were some minor troubles, but no major issues, and the transition was overall smooth.

Since the General had long been prepared for his own demise, he had made arrangements at the base—if the base were to be forcefully seized, it would probably self-detonate. But if it were to be handed over to someone he designated, it would transition peacefully.

The current situation with Jade Lotus was considered a designated succession, so the transition was peaceful.

Of course, things couldn’t possibly go completely smoothly. Even if the General had excellent foresight, he couldn’t accurately predict human nature.

It was smooth for Jade Lotus to get the remote control, but after some people learned that the leader of Zijin Base had changed, they started having other ideas and planned to seize the base.

But with Ying Feng, the Level 3 Ability User there, nobody could cause trouble. So they were just minor irritations, easily dealt with by Ying Feng.

What Jade Lotus feared was the base’s self-detonation, but with the remote control in her hands, Ying Feng would have no rivals within the base!

So, Jade Lotus boldly made some personnel adjustments in the base. Those who were disobedient were either detained or eliminated.

She even carried out a purge within her own club.

She had mentioned to Wang Tao before that some people in the club were causing discord, which led to unrest within it. Seizing the opportunity, she let Ying Feng deal with them. Those who resisted were eliminated, leaving only her staunch supporters.

This was why she had stayed at the base for three or four days.

“Impressive,”

Wang Tao complimented.

He had said before that Jade Lotus was quite good at managing the base. If it had been Nie Siyan who went, it’s very likely she wouldn’t have been able to accomplish as much, and even if she could, who knows how long it would take—it certainly wouldn’t be settled in just three or four days.

Jade Lotus felt a bit proud upon receiving Wang Tao’s praise.

She had always felt overshadowed by Wang Tao, and though she didn’t have much competitive spirit, being outdone by him certainly caused some discomfort. Now, having demonstrated her capabilities, she could consider it evening the score, right?

While she was thinking this, suddenly, a group of people appeared before her. Among them were several of her loyal subordinates, who slightly bowed and said to Jade Lotus:

“Leader!”

Jade Lotus was about to speak when she clearly saw them and suddenly froze.

It wasn’t just her; Ying Feng also rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

As for the more than thirty elite reinforcements behind her, they were dumbstruck upon seeing this group.

“Level 3?”

They were acutely aware of the aura—it was unmistakably Level 3!

But the issue was, this aura emanated from every single person in the group!

Nearly twenty Level 3 Ability Users?

My God, what was happening!

The reinforcements couldn’t believe it, or perhaps didn’t want to. If there were only one or two Level 3 individuals, they might chalk it up to good luck. But the appearance of nearly twenty Level 3s… that could only mean one thing—they were truly powerful! And it meant they were really falling behind!

“You all…”

Jade Lotus approached these groups of subordinates, squeezed her team leader’s cheek a bit, and asked,

“This is not an illusion… have you all really reached Level 3?”

The subordinate nodded, then whispered in Jade Lotus’s ear:

“It’s all thanks to Mr. Wang’s care that we were able to reach Level 3. However, Mr. Wang said… cough cough… it should all be credited to you, leader…”

“…”

She wasn’t even there, and she was accruing debts?

But if it was this kind of debt, she didn’t mind owing at all!

“Everyone…”

It was then that Wang Tao spoke up.

All eyes turned towards him.

“We’ll start the rescue operation tomorrow, let’s discuss the tactical arrangements first…”

Jade Lotus no longer dwelled on it and immediately started discussing with Wang Tao.

After several hours of discussion, they came up with a final plan.

They would split into three teams tomorrow: one team to hunt zombies, another to draw the zombies’ attention, and a third to go into the dive hall to rescue people.

Of these, luring and hunting zombies were the most dangerous—so teams one and two.

While anyone could lure zombies, hunting them could only be done by the strong.

Thus, it was decided that the Level 3 Ability Users would form the team hunting zombies, and the reinforcements would either draw the zombies’ attention or go into the dive hall for the rescue.

If this was before their arrival, the reinforcements would definitely have objected to such an arrangement. They would have wanted to kill zombies since doing so yielded Crystal Cores! Luring zombies was both risky and offered little reward—who would want that?

But now… these Level Two elites were actually the weakest among this group! They had no say in the matter! What else could they do but obey the orders?

“Everyone rest well tonight, we move out first thing in the morning!”

Wang Tao waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

“Yes!”

As the reinforcements left, they instinctively stole glances at Wang Tao. They were curious to know why so many Level 3 Ability Users showed him such respect…

In the evening.

Jade Lotus brought Ying Feng to Wang Tao’s room.
