Chapter 487 Communication Vine

“Have you discovered the second level?”

Wang Tao is a little curious.

“Yes, but it seems very dangerous inside. We didn’t dare to go too deep... Do you have time? We need a master to hold the line!”

Cheng Yiyi replied immediately.

"I do have time..." Wang Tao nodded first, and then asked with some confusion, "You came to see me?"

“That’s great, tell me the approximate location and I’ll pick you up—I haven’t found you yet, because I don’t know where you are?”

Cheng Yiyi was a little excited. With Wang Tao here, she was more confident about exploring the second level.

But when he heard Cheng Yiyi's answer, Wang Tao was a little puzzled.

"Huh? You didn't come to see me? How did you contact me?"

If Wang Tao remembers correctly, Cheng Yiyi and they were in different directions when they separated. They may not be very far away, but there is absolutely no way to use the radio at this distance.

“Haha, I forgot to tell you, we got a good thing - I can’t tell you the details, you’ll know when you come here, anyway, it’s something that can expand the communication range!”

"Okay, then tell me your approximate location, and I will go find you."

Wang Tao spoke directly.

In this crack, apart from the temporary base they entered, there are basically no other coordinates - even if there are coordinates, there is no way to judge without seeing them. So if you want to tell your position, you need to use the temporary base as the standard point, and then tell the specific position based on the compass.

"Just to the southwest of our temporary base, keep walking..." Cheng Yiyi briefly explained the specific location and some obvious buildings on the road, and then said, "Do you really don't need us to send someone to respond?"

It's not that she doesn't believe in Wang Tao's strength, it's mainly because she asked Wang Tao to come over, so it felt impolite not to send someone to meet him.

"We are all our own people, so why are you so polite? I will go there tomorrow morning."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“Okay! I’ll wait for you here!”

Cheng Yiyi actually wanted Wang Tao to bring Lan Yulian, the big wet nurse, but she thought that Wang Tao had to take care of the safety of so many students, so she didn't say anything.

After ending the call, Fu Yu and the other two people outside the tent had already demonstrated their awakening abilities in front of the students. Although they don't understand it very well, they are enough to motivate the students, and all the students are very motivated.

Even the teachers were a little envious. After all, they had paid much more for awakening than these three people.

At this moment, Wang Tao asked Pan Jian to call one of the teachers over, and then took out an unused knife from his space backpack.

“Principal Wang, are you looking for me?”

The teacher spoke very politely.

Even though they are both at the fourth level—in their eyes, Wang Tao is still at the fourth level—they still respect Wang Tao, not only for his status as principal, but also for his strength. Even though they had never seen Wang Tao do it in person before, in the past two days in the crack, they had seen how powerful Wang Tao was. Naturally, one must respect such a strong person.

“This action is an overall action for our school. Students with high points will be rewarded, and teachers with high points will also be rewarded. You have the highest points among all the teachers, so... you can try to see if you are comfortable with this knife.”

Wang Tao smiled and handed over the knife in his hand.

"award!"

The teacher’s eyes lit up.

He wanted to refuse politely, but his hands seemed to be disobedient, so he directly grabbed the knife and waved it a few times.

“Great knife! Fits well!”

 He ​​naturally couldn't see clearly the specific attributes of this knife, but he could always tell the difference between good and bad, especially since he had seen the weapons in the school's treasure house. This knife was obviously of the same type as those weapons.

“Take it if it suits you.”

Although the attributes of this knife are not too strong, it is a serious fourth-level weapon and is much stronger than other people's weapons.

“Thank you very much, Principal Wang!”

The teacher thanked him excitedly.

As for teacher rewards, it is enough to spread them among teachers, there is no need to make them all public. After all, teachers still have to be a little dignified in front of students. Therefore, Wang Tao did not let him show his rewards publicly like the three students.

But this teacher also understood very well. He went directly to tell other teachers about the rewards.

Seeing that he had obtained a weapon similar to that in the treasure house, the teachers instantly became a little uneasy.

It doesn’t matter if students can get rewards, after all, the purpose of the school is to train them. But can teachers also be rewarded? It’s not that teachers can’t have rewards, but that they need to accumulate points to redeem them in the treasure house.

As a result, this old man got a super powerful weapon without exchanging points!

This is equivalent to being ahead of them all at once. I’m envious!

“Well, I didn’t break any rules. This was also a private reward from Principal Wang!”

The teacher quickly explained.

Since the school has made rules, it is natural to abide by them. Even if Wang Tao is the one who makes the rules, under normal circumstances, it is best not to violate the rules. So the teacher must explain it clearly.

“We know, we’re just purely envious!”

"We have to continue working hard! If we perform well, it would be even better if we can get some rewards from Principal Wang. Even if there are no rewards, we can still save some more points. When we go back to school, we can redeem weapons in the treasure house. You can't Get away, kid!"

…”

Some teachers opened their mouths with envy, while others were ready to roll up.

…

In the tent, Wang Tao told Lan Yulian and Pan Jian about the situation at Cheng Yiyi's side.

“Have you discovered another second level... Do you need us to go there?”

Lan Yulian asked with concern.

"No need, I'll go there with Lightning myself to see what's going on. You guys stay here, there are still many places here that haven't been explored. With your strength, as long as you don't encounter a fifth-level lord, there should be no risk, even if you are a fifth-level lord. It’s not like the lord can’t be killed... Anyway, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bing are here and will help you avoid danger in advance..."

Wang Tao ordered.

“Okay, then be more careful.”

“I can do it, and so can you.”

The next morning, Wang Tao and Ling Ling left the stone forest together.

After spending some time, he returned to the temporary base, and then used the temporary base as his original plan to find the direction Cheng Yiyi said.

After spending a few more hours, Wang Tao finally saw the figure of the Sixth Army.

"I am coming."

After reminding Cheng Yiyi, Wang Tao and Ling Ling walked out of the darkness together.

“Did you encounter any danger on the road?”

Cheng Yiyi had been waiting outside the military camp for a long time. When she saw Wang Tao, she immediately came over and hugged Wang Tao.

“You guys cleaned up very well, and you didn’t see a single mutant plant on the road.” Wang Tao said with a smile.

“That’s good! It means we are still very meticulous in our work!”

Cheng Yiyi also smiled, and then brought Wang Tao to the temporary camp.

The Sixth Army did not have many people, just over a hundred, but there were quite a few tanks, artillery, and powered armor. Unlike Wang Tao and the others who specifically hunted the lords, the Sixth Legion pushed them all the way through. Not to mention mutated plants, even a blade of grass will not be spared, and its destructive power is astonishing.

So when Wang Tao came to find him, he didn’t use a compass. He only needed to follow the traces of fire damage and found the Sixth Army...

“Advisor Wang!”

The two deputy commanders, Lin Kaiyang and Pei Hai, also greeted Wang Tao very politely.

"meet again!"

Wang Tao responded with a smile.

Suddenly, he discovered that there were many vine-like plants in the center of the temporary camp. These plants had no health bars, indicating that they were not monsters. This made Wang Tao a little surprised. After all, along the way, the Sixth Army was like plowing the ground, leaving no plants untouched. But now there are so many left...

"This is…"

“This is the key for me to contact you! I unexpectedly discovered that there is a vine among the plants here that does not attack people, but its body can transmit signals...”

Cheng Yiyi took Wang Tao to the area near the vines and gave Wang Tao a detailed introduction.

Although Wang Tao had already made some guesses in his mind, he was still very surprised after hearing Cheng Yiyi's words.

According to Cheng Yiyi, these vines are like a combination of telephone lines and wireless routers. As long as the receiver has "telephone lines" nearby, she can transmit the message through these "telephone lines". Even if the recipient is not physically connected to the vine, the "phone line" can transmit a wireless signal to nearby areas, similar to a wireless router...

Wang Tao had thought in his mind before that the reason why Cheng Yiyi was able to contact him should not be simple signal amplification or power enhancement. Because if it was just Cheng Yiyi's unilateral enhancement, Wang Tao would only be able to hear but not reply. After all, his radio power was too weak to send the message.

But seeing Cheng Yiyi’s explanation, Wang Tao suddenly understood. These vines are equivalent to amplifying Wang Tao and Cheng Yiyi's radios at the same time, so they can talk to each other.

"interesting…"

"In addition to contacting you, I am also contacting other people. It is estimated that it won't be long before everyone can communicate unimpeded through these plants. After all, there are many such vines. As long as we don't hunt them specially, it should be enough for us. …”

Cheng Yiyi said again.

"really."

Wang Tao nodded. He was going to take some of this "communication vine" back with him. He estimated that Qu Shilin would like it.

While the two were talking, Cheng Yiyi and his party took Wang Tao to a place full of rocks.

There is a hole here, and you can clearly see a long staircase leading down. This cave entrance was much smaller than the one Wang Tao explored, but it was also pitch black inside and nothing could be seen clearly.

“The entrance to the second floor is right here…”

Cheng Yiyi pointed to the entrance of the cave.

Seeing the entrance of the cave, Wang Tao suddenly frowned.

This cave entrance gave him a different feeling from the one he explored before... But if he wanted to specifically explain what was different, Wang Tao couldn't tell for a while.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Wang Tao frown, Cheng Yiyi immediately asked.

“It’s nothing, I just feel like it’s not that simple down there.”

“Well, your feeling is right. When I was exploring before, I met a fifth-level lord below, and I almost couldn’t come back..."

Cheng Yiyi was a little frightened.

Lin Kaiyang and Pei Hai seemed to have thought of something terrible, and their expressions were ugly.

For the three of them who are fourth-level awakeners, it is still a bit difficult to fight against the sudden appearance of the fifth-level lord. Especially since this hole doesn't look like a tank can walk through, their troops can't get in...

"The fifth-level lord is indeed more troublesome... When should we go in?"

Wang Tao asked.

“Any time, we’re ready, but why don’t you take a break?”

Cheng Yiyi cares.

“Then let’s go down now, I’m not tired.”

Wang Tao rode lightning all the way here, basically not even using up his physical strength.

"OK!"

 Cheng Yiyi is not a person who writes ink. Since Wang Tao said it is no problem, then there is no problem.

He ordered the others to wait outside. She, Lin Kaiyang and others put on power armor, and then brought three more soldiers wearing power armor. Finally, together with Wang Tao, they entered the dark cave entrance.

Wang Tao immediately mobilized the power of the Heart of Darkness to push away the surrounding black fog. Although Cheng Yiyi and others could not see the black mist, they could clearly feel that the lights on their bodies were much brighter. This also gave them some relief. Inviting Wang Tao over is indeed the most correct choice.

Not long after, the group arrived at the second floor.

Wang Tao speculated that this second floor was about the same height as the second floor he had explored before, and should be on the same floor.

“There is no danger here for the time being, but there is a possibility of danger inside. Let’s walk slowly and don’t be in a hurry. The sneak attacks of these mutated plants are very troublesome..."

Cheng Yiyi and others led the team in front, and Wang Tao followed behind them.

Suddenly, Wang Tao stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Yiyi, who had an eye for six directions and an ear for all directions, noticed Wang Tao's movements immediately and asked cautiously.

Wang Tao looked at the powered armors in front of him with a strange expression.

“Don’t you feel that your strength is being suppressed?”

He had been feeling something was wrong just now, but he never thought what it was, and now he finally realized it - Cheng Yiyi and the others were not suppressed!

They are all at the fourth level, shouldn’t the second level suppress them?

“Suppression? No! Do you feel it?”

Cheng Yiyi asked nervously.

"I don't have it...get out of the power armor and let me take a look."

Wang Tao said immediately.

 Cheng Yiyi trusted Wang Tao and left the power armor directly, but her attributes still did not show any negative status.

After confirming that it was not a problem with the power armor, Wang Tao looked a little confused.

Is there something wrong with the second level now? Or was there something wrong with the second level he explored?

Wang Tao prefers the latter!

Perhaps there is something else he hasn’t discovered in the previous second level...
