Chapter 1420: Chapter 589 A Few Pieces of Information_2

“You won’t be disappointed. Once you’ve prepared the sacrifices, just stand in the altar and call my na…”

After the Ice God spoke these words, there was silence. The temperature around gradually began to rise, as if its consciousness had departed.

It might be an illusion, but Wang Tao seed to detect a hint of exhaustion in its voice,

“Is it really exhausting for it to communicate like this?”

Wang Tao silently took note of this point.

Moreover, from this statent, Wang Tao gleaned another piece of information—

The fifth piece of information, the altar has to be enlarged, and one must stand on it to call the creatures within it. So outside the altar, or when the altar is not enlarged, it’s impossible to contact the Ice God. That ans the Ice God probably can’t see the situations outside the altar…

This is definitely a good thing; otherwise, the Ice God might beco a peeping tom, which would be disgusting. Of course, for Wang Tao, it actually doesn’t matter much, since he has the Space Backpack, he can just put the Summoning Altar into the Space Backpack directly. If the Ice God could see Wang Tao under those circumstances, that would be really impressive.

Today, by picking up this Summoning Altar and getting quite a bit of useful information from the Ice God. The communication with the Ice God has paused, but there will be more opportunities in the future.

Wang Tao decided to keep in touch with this Ice God in the future when he has nothing else to do, as he could probably get even more useful information.

Actually, what Wang Tao is most curious about is where exactly the Ice God is, what their situation is like, and what kind of creature it really is.

But if he were to ask these questions right from the start, the Ice God definitely wouldn’t answer them and would probably beco wary of him. So he can’t hurry, must take it slow.

The Ice God thought it had laid the bait and the fish would soon be hooked. Little did it know, Wang Tao had laid bait as well… now it’s just a matter of seeing who can catch whom!

The Summoning Altar needs a day to turn these zombies into offerings, so Wang Tao leaves the altar here and would co back for it tomorrow.

“Let’s make a trip to Zizhu Base. There are still so unresolved issues there, after all, I had promised.”

Wang Tao went up to the surface and used so discarded building materials to cover the hole. Then he called the Golden Eagle and flew towards Zizhu Base.

Before long, Wang Tao arrived above Zizhu Base.

“Huh?”

He saw many bags of food piled up at the entrance of the base, but no one was moving them. The food bags were also covered with a layer of thick snow, and the main gate of the base was tightly closed with no one outside.

“Has sothing happened?”

Wang Tao imdiately had the Golden Eagle land.

Whoo—

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings, blowing the snow on the ground away. So blood traces were revealed on the ground.

Sothing really did happen!

However, Wang Tao saw that the blood traces were not many, and there were no corpses… Either the corpses had been eaten completely by sothing, or these people had hidden inside the base.

Dong dong dong—

Wang Tao knocked directly on the door.

The area of this underground air-raid shelter was large and deep, and Wang Tao’s ntal Detection couldn’t sense if there were people inside; at most, he could see that there was no one at the main door of the base.

After a mont, Wang Tao sensed a group of people cautiously approaching the door, quietly opening a small peephole in the door. Upon seeing that it was Wang Tao, they excitedly opened the door.

“Priest Lord! You’re back!”

This group of people was Zhao Yaru and others.

At the sight of Wang Tao, they imdiately felt as if they had found their pillar of support. They even felt that the difficulties before them could be easily resolved by Wang Tao.

“What happened here?”

Wang Tao frowned and asked.

Zhao Yaru and the others had been injured before, and after so healing, although they were not completely cured, their overall condition had improved a lot. But now, they looked even more miserable, completely covered in bandaged wounds, so looking like mummies. If it wasn’t for their faces being exposed, Wang Tao wouldn’t be able to recognize who they were.

It was clear that they had been through another tough battle.

“Please co in, Lord…it’s our incompetence, we were ambushed! They stole a lot of our food…”

Zhao Yaru hurriedly invited Wang Tao inside while explaining as they walked.

After her explanation, Wang Tao finally understood what had happened, but he didn’t know whether to say they were lucky or unlucky.

Previously, Wang Tao had found that underground granary and had delivered three thousand tons of food to Zizhu Base. Since the Awakening Fruit was about to ripen, Wang Tao left the food at the base entrance and went to harvest the Awakening Fruit.

But shortly after he left, suddenly a convoy arrived.

This convoy didn’t have many people, only about thirty, but all of them were ability users, including ten awakeners. Moreover, they seed unbothered by the cold, moving freely in such chilly weather.

Those people discovered there was a Survivor Base here, and the people here were moving food — so much food! Without exchanging pleasantries, they charged over and started stealing!

Naturally, Zhao Yaru and the others wouldn’t allow the hard-earned food to be taken away, and a fight ensued.

Even though there were many people at Zizhu Base, most of their top combatants were severely injured. Even those who weren’t injured had their combat power greatly affected by the icy and snowy conditions.

However, those uninvited guests were not at all weakened by the cold environnt! And they had several fourth-order awakeners in good condition!

Moreover, Zhao Yaru and her team were sowhat restrained, fearing that they might damage the food stacked outside. The invaders, however, didn’t have such concerns and acted like robbers.

So, as soon as they clashed, Zizhu Base was imdiately pushed back. The gap between fourth-order awakeners and third-order ability users was still too large.

At that point, it wasn’t just about protecting the food anymore, but about protecting the base! If these people broke into the base, it would be like letting wolves among sheep.

These people were clearly very interested in Zizhu Base as well, and they even ntioned wanting Zhao Yaru to beco a female slave or sothing. Then they temporarily blocked the main gate of the base, trying to rush in while they had the chance.

Just when Zhao Yaru and her people decided to fight desperately, a beast roar suddenly ca from not far away. A mutant beast had arrived!

And this mutant beast was the Level 5 Lord they had seen before, the one that had knocked down the Giant Zombie!

The presence of the Level 5 Lord instantly made everyone breathless.

This mutant beast didn’t bother being polite to anyone, seeing so much food, it charged straight at them.

Zhao Yaru and the intruders didn’t dare continue fighting; they instinctively started cooperating against the enemy.

However, since they weren’t united, using all their mightiest skills, they temporarily managed to block the mutant beast’s attack, then those people just ran off imdiately.

Those people’s vehicles were specifically modified for icy and snowy environnts, reacting very quickly. They had already loaded so of the stolen food onto their vehicles, and they seized the chance to escape.

They probably thought, since their convoy could escape fast, and the people of Zizhu Base couldn’t flee, the mutant beast would definitely attack those from Zizhu Base.

Unexpectedly, the mutant beast roared and chased after the convoy instead.

As for whether the mutant beast caught up with the convoy, Zhao Yaru and her people weren’t sure. They saw both the robbers and the mutant beast leave, so they quickly took their injured back inside, cleared the blockage at the gate, and decided to just hunker down inside the base, not daring to move the remaining food outside anymore.

And then, until now, when Wang Tao ca to Zizhu Base again.

In this period, that group of robbers hadn’t appeared again, and the mutant beast was also gone.

To say they were lucky, they had encountered robbers, and the base was almost overrun. To say they were unlucky, that mutant beast suddenly appeared and chased the robbers away. They suffered so losses, but at least the base was preserved…

“You all just focus on healing for now. As for the food, I will get it back.”

Wang Tao said in a calm tone as he waved his hand.
