Whenever he happened to bump into Huo Ziyi, she was not exactly disdainful, but her expression was always indifferent and she hardly spoke, appearing very aloof. At most, she would take an extra glance at his physique, and that was all. Wang Tao naturally wouldn’t be eager to cozy up to someone who was cold to him, so he didn’t go out of his way to become friends…

When HUO Ziyi saw that Wang Tao remembered her, she immediately grabbed his hand, somewhat moved, and said:

‘■Wang Tao, it’s great to see you still alive! We’re both still alive!”

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows, Huo Ziyi was more enthusiastic than he ever remembered her being.

“Yeah, being alive is great.”

Wang Tao casually agreed and withdrew his hand.

Huo Ziyi’s heart tightened at once; she could clearly sense that Wang Tao didn’t seem interested in conversing with her.

If this were before the apocalypse, she would have definitely taken the opportunity to leave. But now, this was the apocalypse…

She poked the muscles on Wang Tao’s arm, somewhat admiringly, and exclaimed:

“Eh, Wang Tao, I feel like you’ve gotten even stronger than before! I bet you could take on zombies by yourself now, right?”

“It’s alright, I guess.”

Wang Tao replied half-heartedly.

He wasn’t one to boast, and even if he told Huo Ziyi that he was an Awakener, so what? Plus, he wasn’t interested in her, so he couldn’t be bothered to elaborate.

HUO Ziyi Picked up on Wang Tao’s perfunctory response but she still didn’t give up She wanted to latch onto someone with influence because she had witnessed a female makeup artist being violently abused to death by a group of red-eyed security guards before arriving at the base, and she didn’t want to be next.

“That’s really amazing! You can kill zombies by yourself! Oh, right, you weren’t in the Film City when it happened, were you? I don’t remember seeing you among the survivors from the Film City…”

“Oh, I was at home resting.”

“NO wonder! It’s a good thing you weren’t at the Film City. You probably don’t know how terrible it was there; it’s hard to imagine we survived that…” HUO Ziyi Wiped her tears, looking pitiful. The other people around her seemed to be reminded of some tragic events as well, as tears welled up in their eyes.

Wang Tao, hearing this, suddenly became interested. After all, the Film Ci y was a place where he had worked for a long time, and he had some attachmen to it. He was curious about what had happened there.

“If you don’t mind, you could tell me about it.”

“Ah? I don’t mind at all!”

Huo Ziyi had intended to play the sympathy card to get on Wang Tao’s good side, but she didn’t expect him to take an interest in what happened at the Film City. Her goal was to establish a good relationship with Wang Tao, so she quickly pulled him aside to sit down and explained the situation in detail.

“You have no idea, back then…”

As Huo Ziyi vividly recounted the events, a look of surprise appeared on Wang Tao’s face.

“You’re saying a military force passed by and saved some of the survivors from the Film City… Are you sure they weren’t soldiers from Shuize Base?” “No, that military force had many more people! They even had tanks! They crushed the zombies… Although it seems they were just passing by. It’s a shame I was trapped back then; I called out to those soldiers for help but they didn’t hear me, otherwise I wouldn’t have been in such a bad state. And I’ve heard that…”

At this point, Huo Ziyi whispered mysteriously into Wang Tao’s ear: “That military force seems to have been gathering soldiers on the road, and their destination was Red Stone County. The soldiers from Shuize Base wanted to join that military force, but they missed them and got left behind…”

“Oh?”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

There was no reason for Huo Ziyi to lie to him about this. The military force must have been heading to Red Stone Survivor Base, and rescuing people was probably not their main mission; their main objective might have been to gather at Red Stone Base to establish a large survivor base or something of the sort.

The survivors who were rescued were just lucky.

Of course, Wang Tao didn’t envy them. He was thinking that the Red Stone Base must be pretty good, especially since they had so many soldiers and weapons. He thought that he might visit and check it out if he had the chance. -The rest of those unlucky ones, like me, were trapped in the Film City, but luckily, we were stuck near a convenience store with water and food, so we didn’t starve to death. Later, we heard gunshots, the noise attracted all the zombies away, and we took the chance to escape. Then we ran into people from Shuize Base… I can’t forget the sight of our director being torn apart by the zombies… sob…”

Wang Tao patted Huo Ziyi’s shoulder, then briefly chatted with a few other people around her. They were all lucky survivors from Huangfeng Film City, including two celebrities not as famous as Huo Ziyi and others who worked in the film industry.

Noticing it was getting late, Wang Tao stood up.

“You guys keep talking, I’m a bit tired, I’m going to head back.”

“Mr. Wang, take care!”

Huo Ziyi and the others quickly stood up, politely saying goodbye to Wang Tao. Once Wang Tao’s figure had disappeared from sight, Huo Ziyi clenched her fists tightly.

“Yes!”

Although she had only had a simple chat with Wang Tao today, she felt it was a good start. Everyone was at the same base now, bound to see each other 0 ten, she didn’t believe she couldn’t become friends with Wang Tao, or perhaps even more… After all, Wang Tao was a Hunter, and if she could stick by him, at the very least she could ensure she wouldn’t starve!

The next day, in the early morning.

Wang Tao saw it was raining outside again.

“Today, I’ll go out and kill a few zombies, gather the materials needed for the blueprint, and then get in touch with Ding Yuqin…

After planning out his tasks for the day, Wang Tao headed to the office building. He wanted to ask Chen Zhuang how Wei Zhenguo’s injury was; he was waiting for his promotion.

After arriving at the office building, Wang Tao suddenly saw an announcement. A new arbitration department had been established in the base, with Han Rui as the head of the department.
