But Wang Tao didn’t have to choose them; he held the Crystal Cores in his hands and could give them to whomever he wanted, and these two were already predetermined Ability Users by Wang Tao…
“Thank you, Commissioner Wang, Commissioner Ren, thank you for the base’s cultivation…”
The six lucky ones were also very sensible and immediately bowed to Wang Tao and Ren Jie in thanks.
“Congratulations to you all! I hope that after you become Ability Users, you can contribute more to the base, after all, this is our home…”
After Ren Jie offered his encouragement, Wang Tao distributed the six Crystal Cores to them.
All these Crystal Cores were combat abilities selected by Wang Tao, and they were all red. But he required them to merge with the Cores on the spot.
After receiving them, they swallowed the Cores immediately, and then one by one, the six people lay down on the ground to sleep.
“Not bad!”
Seeing that none had failed, Wang Tao felt very relieved. These were Crystal Cores with an 80% fusion success rate.
After they sent the soon-to-be Ability Users home, Ren Jie once again encouraged everyone.
“The committee’s goal is to make all combat personnel in the base into Ability Users! Although this can’t be achieved in a short time, the base has always been working towards this direction! Those who weren’t selected shouldn’t lose heart; continue to improve yourselves. This is just the first batch of Ability Users, there will be a second batch, a third batch…”
With these words from Ren Jie, everyone’s fighting spirit was indeed reignited —they too wanted to become Ability Users!
“Alright, let’s dismiss. Everyone get back to training, kill more zombies, and strive to become the next batch of Ability Users!”
Ren Jie waved his hand and dismissed the crowd.
As Wang Tao was preparing to leave, Huo Ziyi suddenly approached him.
“What’s up?”
Today, Huo Ziyi had made a special effort with her appearance and looked somewhat like a pre-apocalyptic minor celebrity.
“Cough, it’s like this, we have some things we would like to consult Commissioner Wang about, if Commissioner Wang has the time, please come with us…”
Huo Ziyi spoke somewhat coyly.
“Alright.”
Wang Tao didn’t have anything to do at the moment, so he followed her.
Huo Ziyi led Wang Tao to a large classroom, where aside from her, there were several other young women dressed to the nines.
On the way there, Huo Ziyi also explained to Wang Tao that she wanted him to see the program they had prepared—the apocalypse had been upon them for almost three months, and Ren Jie and others had been thinking of holding a celebration at the base when the three months were up.
This was not about indulgence or formality but to boost the survivors’ happiness index—since the establishment of the base, it had always been quite oppressive, with many people seemingly walking around like zombies.
This state was definitely unhealthy. As a once very capable deputy county head, Ren Jie knew that he needed to adjust everyone’s mental state.
Otherwise, if the oppression continued, it could push people to extremes, and it would be bad if another Shao Yong emerged.
So he planned to have a simple evening party to celebrate everyone surviving three months of the apocalypse.
Surviving three months in such a harsh apocalypse was certainly something worth commemorating.
Huo Ziyi, this former minor celebrity who had no ability to hunt zombies or dare scavenge supplies, could only do hard labor in the base without a proper role. Now, this party offered her a great opportunity!
Of course, there might be other motives involved, such as gaining the favor of Commissioner Wang Tao…
To be fair, watching these youthful and pretty girls dancing in their little skirts on stage, Wang Tao almost thought the apocalypse was a dream. But he quickly came back to reality, as these minor celebrities would not be dancing for him personally if this wasn’t the apocalypse, would they?
“Commissioner Wang? How was our performance?”
Huo Ziyi wiped the fine sweat off her forehead. She seemed to lose herself looking at Wang Tao, then, full of expectation, she inquired.
It seems Commissioner Wang was quite captivated!
“Very good! I am sure this program will be liked by many people!”
Wang Tao praised with a smile.
Huo Ziyi and her sisters all had good foundations. Even an eighteenth-tier minor celebrity couldn’t be compared to some so-called internet famous personalities.
Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Huo Ziyi blushed, speaking softly:
“Then… does Commissioner Wang like it?”
Wang Tao was about to say he really liked it when his walkie-talkie went off.
It was Ren Jie looking for him, saying there was something important.
“Sorry, I have to go for some business first.”
Wang Tao nodded to the young women and then left.
Once Wang Tao left, the other women quickly surrounded Huo Ziyi.
“Sister, you think it’s still peacetime! Be more resolute! Go straight for it! Trust me, next time you see Commissioner Wang, just sit right on his lap… What a wasted opportunity!”
Seeing her sisters’ frustrated expressions, Huo Ziyi’s face turned a bit red.
She indeed was quite interested in Wang Tao now, but she still cared about her image and really couldn’t bring herself to make such a direct move.
“Oh well, forget it! Next time, I’ll definitely go for it directly! Let’s continue the rehearsal…”
Wang Tao arrived at the comprehensive building.
Besides Wang Tao, Wei Zhenguo and the others had also returned.
“Eh? You’re back?”
Wang Tao was a bit surprised; he thought Wei Zhenguo and the others would take a while longer to return.
“Guess what great thing we found today!”
Wei Zhenguo looked at Wang Tao with a proud face..
