"That kind of crop is called a mutated plant. It contains immense energy internally and is the exclusive food for us Awakened. Our base has not only begun large-scale cultivation of this crop but has also started consuming it!"
Yue Bai's pupils constricted.
He knew about those glowing plants, and he had even eaten some.
Just as the other party had said,
That food indeed contained vast energy, perfectly suited for the Awakened.
It was a pity they hadn't managed to get any seeds of that plant here!
"So, what do you mean by 'breaking free from our predicament'?"
Yue Bai asked, "Are you willing to sell us mutated plant seeds?"
Uh!
"No, I want to invite you all to join our base?"
"Join us?"
Yue Bai frowned.
"That's right. In your current situation, even if we were willing to sell you mutated seeds, with your supply situation, you likely wouldn't last until the seeds mature, would you?"
"Therefore, the best method is to join us. To be frank, our base is not lacking in supplies, nor are we lacking in people. The reason we are out here searching for survivors is entirely for future sustainable development!"
"We don't know how long these disgusting zombies will persist. Perhaps years, perhaps decades. We are currently in the same predicament as you, surrounded by zombies. The only difference is that we can at least hold on for many more years, while you can't last a few days!"
"There are two paths before you: one is to head to the mountains and eat bark in the future, and the other is to leave with me and seek a path of common cooperation and development for survival!"
Wang Luo said calmly.
What was most precious?
If these guys were truly stubborn and refused him, he could then use Dragon Might to crush them and forcibly take them away!
However, he didn't want to resort to this unless absolutely necessary.
Once these people were stunned, many would surely die at the hands of zombies. Wang Luo didn't want to waste these combat forces.
"I need to discuss this matter with the other high-ranking officials of the base!"
Yue Bai did not refuse directly.
Because what the other party said was the truth.
There indeed seemed to be only these two paths before them.
Soon,
Yue Bai convened a meeting with the base's high-ranking officials. Although he was the leader, such a choice, which involved everyone's future, required a joint decision from the higher-ups!
Meanwhile, Wang Luo wandered outside the base.
It was a very tall and luxurious building,
But the top of the building was already dilapidated, apparently destroyed by volcanic rocks that appeared during the volcanic eruption!
"Hold on! Don't let these disgusting things rush into the base!"
In front of the building,
Because the high-ranking officials were in a meeting, the elite forces had left, causing a void in the defense.
"Hey, kid, aren't you going to make a move? Just watching from your horse?"
Someone suddenly yelled angrily at Wang Luo.
Everyone was resisting zombies now, yet this guy was leisurely watching from his horse?
"Still not moving? Believe it or not, I'll report you to the boss and cut your rations today?"
Someone shouted exhaustedly.
They had been fighting like this for so long, they hadn't had a proper rest!
"Me? Alright!"
Wang Luo smiled, dismounted from his little white dragon, and walked towards the zombies.
Inside the building,
Yue Bai led a group of high-ranking officials out.
"So, we need to confirm two points: first, whether their base truly has the ability to resist zombies, and second, whether their base has indeed cultivated that mutated plant!"
"Exactly. If they possess both these points, what's the harm in joining them?"
"We don't fear zombies right now; we fear not having supplies. Rather than fighting zombies, I fear eating bark more!"
As they spoke, the group walked out,
Just then, with a "boom," boundless lightning descended from the sky, striking the zombies below.
"Such scale! Holy crap, has someone comprehended an SSS-grade ability?"
Yue Bai and the others exclaimed, rushing towards the battlefield.
The group of Awakened who were struggling to resist the zombies suddenly widened their eyes.
"Holy crap, is he that fierce?"
Someone exclaimed in shock.
With just one ability, he had cleared out zombies within a thousand meters in front of him!
"Is this what he meant by 'the power is a bit too great'?"
The crowd was somewhat numb.
Back then, the man had simply said, "You all step back. The power of this move is a bit too great; I might accidentally injure you!"
And then the sky was filled with descending lightning!
"Who is it? Who awakened an SSS-grade ability?"
Yue Bai and the others excitedly stepped forward,
But when they saw the figure on whom everyone's gaze was focused, Yue Bai and the others fell silent.
"It's him?"
They had thought it was someone from their own base!
But it turned out to be this outsider!
"With such strength, why wasn't he defending the base? Do they have even stronger people in their base?"
A high-ranking official mused.
At the forefront of the battlefield,
Wang Luo nodded in satisfaction. "My E-grade lightning ability has been upgraded to SSS-grade. The power of 'Myriad Lightning' has indeed increased significantly!"

[Current Mission]: Host must continue to survive for three more months.
[Mission Reward]: The reward for this mission is to upgrade the D-grade Lightning Element Skill to SSS-grade "Dragon God's Embrace."
Wang Luo looked at his status panel.
This time, it wasn't a reward of an ability, but an upgrade for a skill.
"Dragon God's Embrace? Won't a giant golden dragon appear around me when I use this skill?"
Wang Luo was excited at the thought.
He used to play games where there was often a dungeon called "Dragon Taming Temple."
He had played it several times but never managed to get a giant golden dragon, cursing the developers for being scammers. Now, it was great, having a real dragon coiled around him during battle, which sounded incredibly mighty and imposing.
And Wang Luo had discovered that
The time required to be rewarded with an ability was usually longer than the time for a skill reward.
"What a shame, it's not a space ability?"
Wang Luo was slightly disappointed.
Space abilities were the best for surprise attacks, truly essential for a sneaky player!
Seeing Yue Bai approaching,
Wang Luo retracted his thoughts and asked, "How did your discussion go?"
"If you want us to join you, you must show us that your base has indeed cultivated mutated plants!"
As for their strength, forget it.
The opponent's strength had already been demonstrated.
Such terrifying power was only possessed by Yue Bai among them.
