Wang Tao had fallen into a state of weakness for the entire day and had originally planned to go hunting zombies, hoping to raise his HP to five thousand. Now that was out of the question.
Although even in his weakened state, he could still kill most of the Level 1 Elite Zombies, there was no need to risk it, after all, you only live once.
Wang Tao took out some materials and crafted several Rejuvenation Potions, then he sent some over to Wei Zhenguo, explaining the situation to him. “Rejuvenation Potion? That’s some good stuff!”
Everyone was surprised to see the potion. Nobody asked Wang Tao where it came from, they just used it.
Although there was the side effect of a “one-day weakness period,” the potion could save lives at critical moments; the side effects were bearable.
“Wang Tao, if you’re not going out today, can you help me finalize the list of the first group of Ability Users?”
Ren Jie suddenly said to Wang Tao.
They had already mentioned the need to improve the overall strength of the base, and the simplest way to do that was naturally to increase the number of Ability Users.
After several days of selection, some preliminary lists had been drawn up. Next would be to confirm the specific individuals and then provide them with Crystal Cores.
“Sure.”
Wang Tao didn’t refuse; he was curious to see the current levels of these survivors.
As for the confirmation process, Ren Jie was prepared to have those on the list display their abilities in front of them, after which he and Wang Tao would decide. If committee members had their own recommendations, they could of course make a direct appointment.
Wang Tao thought this method was not problematic, so they settled on it.
Ren Jie used the broadcast system to call the individuals on the list to the plaza outside the comprehensive building.
Suddenly, nearly all the survivors in the base showed up.
Although many were not on the list, they wanted to see how strong those who were listed actually were. Some also felt somewhat indignant…
Of course, more importantly, everyone wanted to know who exactly would become Ability Users, for they would be key figures to cling to in the future!
But just as all the survivors had gathered on the plaza, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky!
“A plane? Another airdrop is coming!”
A moment later, Wang Tao saw the silhouette of a transport plane in the sky and was rather surprised.
The first time the airdrop came, the note left in the drop by that military base said they didn’t know if there would be another airdrop.
But a month later, the second airdrop arrived. Now it hadn’t even been a few days, and the third airdrop was here!
If the airdrops could maintain a frequency of once or twice a month, that would be quite nice!
It was just unknown what the situation inside the military base was like now, whether it was safe. Considering they were still able to make airdrops, it should be safe, right?
Wang Tao felt that Shuize Base still lacked a bit of appeal. If he could go to the military base, that would be even better…
“Another airdrop is coming!”
Ren Jie looked at the airdrop somewhat happily, as every airdrop meant a harvest.
Wang Tao felt a bit regretful as he was in a weakened state today and couldn’t go out; otherwise, he could have happily collected the airdrop.
However, Wei Zhenguo and the others were outside; they would definitely not let these airdrops slip away.
“Look here!”
Ren Jie shouted to the survivors below, instantly attracting their attention. After merging with the Screaming Crystal Core, his voice was now very loud and could be used as a human megaphone.
“With your current abilities, going after the airdrop is still very dangerous. But once you become Ability Users, you can go and collect the airdrops yourself in the future!”
Ren Jie spoke with a smile.
The crowd below became excited upon hearing this. Who wouldn’ t want to become an Ability User who could dominate the post-apocalyptic world!
“I will now start reading the list. Those who are called, please come up to the stage and showcase your abilities.”
Ren Jie began calling names one by one.
Every person called was thrilled to go up on stage; some displayed their strength, others their speed, and still others their resilience and more.
When selecting Ability Users, of course, priority was given to those with good physical condition. And this list was made up of survivors Ren Jie had picked out as having relatively good character.
Thus, the specific individuals chosen for this first group of Ability Users were fundamentally those with good character and physical fitness.
Wang Tao sat on the stage, silently observing the survivors below.
He could generally tell who had good physical fitness just by looking at their HP bars, but some qualities cannot be shown through the HP bars. Just like himself, he had inherently good physical fitness that couldn’t be wholly reflected by the HP bar.
Soon, everyone on the list had shown what they could do. There were only 30 people on the list in total, but only 6 would be chosen.
The reason there were so few was that the remaining spots had been taken by the Security Army. Apart from Ability Users, the Security Army had the strongest combat power in the base, so they naturally had to be prioritized to become Ability Users.
Not counting Wei Zhenguo and his group, the Security Army currently had 14. members; adding these 6 slots meant that the first batch of Ability Users would consist of a total of 20 people!
If all 20 of them succeeded, it would be a substantial increase in strength for the base!
After some consideration, Wang Tao and Ren Jie chose the 6 individuals. Those not selected looked disappointed, while the chosen ones were ecstatic.
Wang Tao was very fair, he didn’t know these 6 individuals. He simply saw that they had high HP, had killed many zombies, and had good physical fitness, and then he chose them.
As for Ding Yuqin and Gao Hua, these two naturally weren’t chosen. They were actually on the list, clearly Ren Jie was giving them face.
