Chapter 865: Chapter 338 Awakening Fruit_3

And even if they had all awakened, they wouldn’t be a match for the giant eagle outside.

“I understand!”

Jiang Shixue nodded. Lightning and Blacky also nuzzled up next to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao told everyone,

“Let’s rest well tonight and see if the bird leaves tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

...

After dinner, Wang Tao arranged for people to stand guard.

Standing guard was to guard not only against the giant eagle outside but also against the zombies chained not far away in case a Night Demon was hatched.

…

The night passed without incident.

The next morning was eerily quiet; the giant eagle seed to have left, but Wang Tao used his Plant Affinity to scan around and clearly “saw” that on the mountain above them, there stood a huge creature.

“It crouched there all night?”

Wang Tao felt sowhat uneasy.

He also looked at another entrance deep inside the cave, which was tightly blocked and completely impassable.

They had no choice but to continue waiting.

However, Wang Tao didn’t just wait idly; when he had killed a giant zombie last ti, he had obtained many Level 4 Crystal Cores without abilities, mostly of low quality. This was a good opportunity to nourish the [Armored Beetle].

After taking out 50 White Crystal Cores and a few Blue Crystal Cores, the HP limit of the [Armored Beetle] finally increased to 100,000.

It was now a fully evolved Armored Beetle. Of course, even so, it wasn’t a match for the giant eagle, so the wait continued.

Wang Tao then checked on the seven zombies chained up. It had been over seven days since the Night Demon Parasite test, but they still hadn’t turned into Night Demons. Clearly, the remaining seven Night Demon Parasite Pupae had all failed.

That ant the rate of successful parasitism was about one-third.

Wang Tao still had so insect eggs left, which could have been used for further experints with the zombies. However, with such a significant threat outside, he wasn’t in the mood to hatch any Night Demons. So, Wang Tao killed those zombies and quietly waited for a chance to leave.

As it turned out, he ended up waiting seven days.

During those days, Wang Tao could clearly sense that the giant eagle moved several tis but was always nearby and always within the range of his Plant Affinity.

If Wang Tao hadn’t had this ability, he might have actually gone out, since it was seemingly very safe outside with no disturbances at all.

It could be said that the giant eagle was very intelligent, even understanding so tactics.

Unfortunately for the eagle, Wang Tao could detect its presence, and as long as it didn’t leave, Wang Tao would inevitably stay put.

Wang Tao suddenly felt that he had killed the seven zombies too early; seven days was enough to hatch a batch.

And over such a long period, they could have let Jiang Shixue and the others consu Awakening Fruits, and even he could have tried for a Second Awakening…

Of course, there was no dication for regret in the world, and Wang Tao wasn’t really regretting it; he was just complaining. After all, he had been keeping his abilities fully active while waiting for an opportunity, not having ti for anything else.

As soon as the giant eagle left, he would imdiately slip away. He didn’t believe that the giant eagle could outlast him!

Not to ntion anything else, he had plenty of Nutrient Solution, and he had ti to wear it down. Besides, the space inside the cave was large enough for their daily needs.

Just when Wang Tao had resolved to outlast the giant eagle, that morning, he suddenly couldn’t sense the giant eagle’s location anymore.

“Hmm? It left?”

The giant eagle had flown up before, but it had always co back down quickly, unlike this ti when it disappeared for so long.

However, Wang Tao still didn’t let his guard down and continued to wait.

Over an hour later, Wang Tao still couldn’t feel the giant eagle’s presence, and he beca a bit excited.

The giant eagle seed to have really left!

“I’ll go out and check. Wait for my signal; we might need to evacuate at any mont!”

Wang Tao felt that the giant eagle might have really gone, unless it had been circling in the sky all this ti, evading detection by his Plant Affinity. If that was the case, then Wang Tao could only admit that it was incredibly cunning…

Wang Tao cautiously made his way to the cave entrance and searched the area thoroughly inside and out to make sure there were no problems before he stealthily stepped outside.

Once outside, Wang Tao imdiately looked up at the sky.

The weather was nice today, the sky was clear and cloudless. There was nothing in the sky.

Wang Tao quickly scanned the surroundings. There were quite a few traces of the giant eagle’s activity; many places were a ss, but there was no sign of the eagle itself.

After making sure several tis that there was no giant eagle, Wang Tao imdiately used his Perception Ring to communicate with Ding Yuqin,

“Sister-in-law, it’s safe now, lead the people to evacuate!”

Buzz—

The people had been ready for a while, and upon hearing Ding Yuqin’s command, they imdiately drove to the entrance.

As they passed by Wang Tao, the car door opened, and the car barely stopped. Wang Tao quickly jumped into the vehicle.

“Quick, quick, quick!”

The minibus sped forward.

Wang Tao deployed his Perception Ability to its fullest, while the others kept a vigilant watch on the sky from all angles, monitoring for the giant eagle and at the sa ti fearing that they would see it.

Fortunately, nothing untoward occurred all the way until they reached the outskirts of Changhe Base.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s enter the city.”

While they were in line to enter the city, a barrage of ssages suddenly popped up on Wang Tao’s informational wristwatch.

“Wang Tao, you must be safe, right? Sorry, I had no idea the Mushroom Cave was so dangerous…”

“Mr. Wang, are you all right? If you’ve safely returned, please be sure to contact …”

“Mr. Wang, this is your share of the paynts, please check your account…”

“Mr. Wang? Haven’t you co back yet?”

“Mr. Wang…”

It then dawned on Wang Tao that they had been in the wilderness with no network for… more than half a month!

In a post-apocalyptic world, being missing for a day ant danger. Missing for a week usually ant you were gone for good.

And they had been missing for over half a month…

“Well, I hope we haven’t been struck off the base’s register.”
