Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1492 - 622: An Exchange

The City Hall of Hongfeng Base was exactly as Xiang Bo had described—it was a huge mushroom, and a very beautiful red mushroom at that.

"This house is so beautiful! It feels like we’re in a fairy tale world..."

Ding Yuqin’s eyes lit up slightly.

"Indeed."

Wang Tao nodded.

Upon hearing the praises from Wang Tao and his group, Xiang Bo immediately grinned and then invited everyone inside the City Hall, where hot tea had already been prepared in advance.

"Once again, welcome to our Hongfeng Base. We have prepared a welcome dinner for you all, and we hope you won’t find it lacking. Also, the Awakeners of our base, upon hearing that people from other bases are visiting, are very interested and would like to exchange ideas with you. If you don’t mind, I will invite them to the dinner, but of course, if you’re uncomfortable with that, we can forget it..."

Xiang Bo was very polite and respectful of Wang Tao’s opinion.

"Sure."

Wang Tao also wanted to see what the overall level of the Hongfeng Base was like. It might not be very intuitive from other aspects, but judging from the High-leveled Combat Power, it was quite direct and meaningful.

"Thank you very much!"

Seeing that Wang Tao did not refuse, Xiang Bo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, it would have been awkward to be rejected. Hearing that Wang Tao was very powerful, capable of defeating a Level 5, Lord, he definitely did not dare to neglect him.

A somewhat ecstatic Xiang Bo then started chatting with Wang Tao again.

What he was really interested in wasn’t just Wang Tao’s power, but also Wang Tao’s base.

Although the City Hall had been propagating that their Red Maple Base was the only human settlement left in the world, and in fact, they had indeed not discovered other Survivor Bases, this seemed like the truth.

However, some still believed that the survival of the Red Maple Base, though its process was not replicable, didn’t guarantee that similar events hadn’t occurred elsewhere; they just hadn’t seen them.

Xiang Bo also had this idea; he thought it very likely that there were other Survivor Bases elsewhere.

But this was just speculation, impossible to confirm. According to the activity radius of the survivors of the Red Maple Base, indeed, no other Survivor Bases had been discovered.

Now, with the arrival of Wang Tao, who claimed to be from a major base, together with members of the Liehuo Gang, the "lie" that the Red Maple Base was the last base in the world naturally fell apart.

Xiang Bo was very curious about the base; he wanted to know how the survivors there managed to survive until now. This might have some reference value for their Red Maple Base.

"I am very curious about Mr. Wang’s base. Could Mr. Wang possibly introduce it a bit?"

Xiang Bo got straight to the point.

"The place I come from is Changhe Base..."

Wang Tao had just started when Xiang Bo interrupted him.

"Changhe Base? Changhe... could it be the Changhe from West Province’s Changhe City?"

Seeing the shock in Xiang Bo’s eyes, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

"Oh? Mayor Xiang also knows about Changhe City? Yes, it’s that place."

Changhe City is not very large. It’s a remote place with little notoriety. Unless one is a local of the province, people from other provinces generally don’t know about it. Xiang Bo’s reaction clearly showed that he knew of Changhe City.

Hearing Wang Tao’s query, Xiang Bo nodded somewhat bitterly:

"My wife is from Changhe City. When the Apocalypse descended, she had just returned to Changhe City..."

"...If you could provide some specific information, perhaps I can look around Changhe Base for you."

"Thank you, but there’s no need. Because that morning she called me, and before the call ended, she had already..."

Xiang Bo’s expression became somewhat mournful.

"Condolences."

Wang Tao shook his head.

This kind of thing was all too common in the Apocalypse. He had heard many similar stories before, but each time, he would still sigh internally.

After all, witnessing or listening to the death of a loved one while being powerless to help was truly too despairing.

"Let’s not talk about these sad matters anymore. Please tell us about Changhe Base, Mr. Wang."

"Changhe Base is a large Survivor Base with a population of five hundred thousand, and it also has a sub-base called Silver Serpent Base. The combined population of the main base and the sub-base is nine hundred thousand..."

"Hiss—"

The people of Red Maple Base, upon hearing that Changhe Base had a population of five hundred thousand, and together with the sub-base, nine hundred thousand, all involuntarily inhaled sharply.

Although Red Maple Base had a population of eight hundred thousand, its survival was due to many coincidences and elements of luck. Without a bit of luck, Red Maple Base wouldn’t be what it is today.

So when they truly heard about a Survivor Base of a scale similar to Red Maple Base, Xiang Bo and the others were quite surprised. Just like Wang Tao when he first heard about the eight-hundred-thousand-strong Red Maple Base.

"How have you managed to survive until now? Did you also find a place like ours, with natural mountain walls serving as city walls? But as I remember, Changhe Base doesn’t have high mountains, let alone such a place surrounded by high mountains..."

Xiang Bo quickly asked, curious about how Changhe Base managed to survive until now.

Although at the time the Apocalypse descended, the state had already quickly organized manpower to build Survivor Bases, the Zombie Virus was too terrifying! These Survivor Bases started to fall one after another, eventually none of them survived...

Wang Tao smiled and said:
