Chapter 448: Chapter 200 Zijin Base_2

The road was clear of zombies, so they made good time. Soon the three vehicles arrived outside the gate of Zijing Base.

Up close, one could better appreciate the grandeur and vastness of the towering wall.

However, it was also clear that the wall had many imperfections—there were numerous patches and repairs, and overall, Wang Tao felt that the wall should be higher. It seemed as if there wasn’t enough time to finish it before the base fell. Many additions had likely been made afterwards…

“Halt, please prepare for inspection!”

By now, there were already quite a few vehicles lined up for inspection at the gates. Nie Siyan directed their convoy to join the queue.

Wang Tao frowned upon seeing the energy detector at the entrance.

This device, Jiang Shixue might not be able to pass through…

After all, Jiang Shixue had 100% impurity in her body. If she were to be scanned, it would immediately show level five impurity, and that would surely trigger an alarm at the base.

“What’s wrong, brother?”

Jiang Shixue, sensing Wang Tao’s troubled gaze, asked curiously.

After thinking for a bit, Wang Tao whispered in Jiang Shixue’s ear:

“Do you have any way to avoid detection when it’s our turn to be inspected?”

Jiang Shixue looked at the detector and furrowed her brow slightly.

Then her eyes suddenly brightened.

“I think I have an idea…”

Jiang Shixue quickly leaned over to explain to Wang Tao in a whisper.

After listening, Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue with some surprise.

“Did you remember something from before?”

“No.”

Jiang Shixue shook her head.

Wang Tao had previously told her that she had lost some of her memories. However, she was indifferent about these matters.

“Alright.”

Wang Tao didn’t press further. Jiang Shixue had just recalled the use of her eyes—a use that had been forgotten.

Previously, it was said that after Jiang Shixue transformed from a zombie into a human, she not only lost her memory but also didn’t know how to use her ability and hidden attributes.

Now, in her efforts to come up with a solution, she finally remembered the use of her hidden attributes!

Soon, it was Wang Tao and his group’s turn.

The moment they got off the vehicle, they drew a lot of attention.

It couldn’t be helped; Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun’s builds were just too large. Especially Xu Xiaojun, who stood like a dark cloud, blocking out the light for several people around him, making it hard to ignore their presence.

However, their attention quickly shifted from Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun to Jiang Shixue and Nie Siyan.

After all, both men and women enjoy looking at beautiful women.

“Wow! Two beauties!”

“That pretty girl in the JK outfit, but I feel she’s just an ordinary person… and seems to be the weakest among them. Is such a person also here to participate in the ‘Advancement Operation’?”

“That shows what you know! You only see the girl’s weakness, not the strength of those beside her! Maybe she’s deliberately nurtured to be someone’s plaything!”

“Sss—makes sense!”

“I’m telling you, kid, you’re young. I advise you not to mess with girls like her. Don’t get fooled by their seemingly weak and pure appearance. If you actually managed to trick her, you’d probably be in big trouble…”

“I get it, I get it! I’m really scared of dying, I wouldn’t dare to mess with such trouble!”

“Smart of you. Personally, I find the older woman more attractive. Look at those legs, that waist, that bust, that face—holy shit! It’s her?”

“What’s up?”

“That’s Skull Club’s Nie Siyan, the notorious swindler of our Zijing City! I suggest you keep your distance from them, otherwise you won’t know when you’ll find yourself sold off to a prison…”

“That infamous Skull Club? Sss…”

…

On the other side, listening to the whispers of the crowd, veins popped on Nie Siyan’s forehead, and she was on the verge of beating them up.

If it were before, she wouldn’t have cared, because talking is just talking and she only swindled outsiders, so fame didn’t bother her.

But now, she had reformed, and especially with Wang Tao beside her, she knew just how much he despised her former identity…

As for Jiang Shixue, she ignored the murmured discussions, not out of indifference, but because she couldn’t understand the roundabout things they were saying.

“Please come this way.”

The gates of Zijing Base were wide, with several inspection points set up.

As Wang Tao and the others disembarked, a worker in protective gear led them to one of the available checkpoints.

The energy detectors they used were second-generation, not requiring blood but just some hair, nails, or skin flakes would do.

However, what they specifically needed varied randomly for each person to prevent cheating.

Camouflaged soldiers armed with rifles surrounded them. If anything was amiss, someone might get shot.

After all, with so many people in Zijing Base, if a ticking bomb who could turn into a zombie at any moment got in, it could mean big trouble.

“Hello, I need to pluck a hair from you.”

In Wang Tao’s group, Zhu Han was leading the way, followed by the four ability users who could release sleep-inducing mist, then Nie Siyan, Xu Xiaojun, Jiang Shixue, and Wang Tao.

“Energy Level Two, Level Two impurity, pass…”

Upon seeing the numbers on the device, the inspector called out to the soldiers behind him. The soldiers stepped aside to let Zhu Han through.

Likewise, the other ability users were also waved through without question, as they were all led by a Level 2 Ability User.
