NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 739 Sudden Incident
Ding Yuqin and a few others had only slept for about three hours when they woke up in the night.
Wang Tao hadn't slept yet. Seeing them waking up one by one, Wang Tao tested their abilities together. Wang Tao felt it was satisfactory, and they were naturally very pleased. They were probably too excited to sleep that night.
Just after they finished testing, Wei Zhenguo contacted Wang Tao through the intercom, excitedly stating that they had all successfully fused. So Wang Tao went over to help them test their abilities.
No one understood abilities better than Wang Tao. If he didn't help, allowing people to research on their own would surely waste a lot of time, maybe even lead to some detours. But with Wang Tao's help, they quickly figured out the exact effects of their abilities.
By the time he helped everyone finish testing, it was already late at night. Wei Zhenguo and the others felt a bit embarrassed for troubling Wang Tao for so long.
Wang Tao smiled nonchalantly and said:
"I'm fine, but you guys, don't be so excited that you can't sleep. There's work tomorrow, so you need to maintain a good sleep!"
"No way! I'm calm, I'll fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow!"
Xiang Hongbin quickly shook his head, but judging by his silly grin, he was clearly not being truthful.
Wang Tao shook his head helplessly and didn't say more.
When he returned to the villa, it seemed like Ding Yuqin and the others were asleep. Wang Tao didn't disturb them. But when he arrived at his room door, he unexpectedly found someone inside. It wasn't Han Rui or Ding Yuqin, but Li Qiuyu.
At this moment, Li Qiuyu had obviously just taken a shower, wearing silk pajamas and sitting by Wang Tao's bed. Seeing Wang Tao return, she quickly stood up.
"Ahem, you're back..."
"What's up?"
"I..."
Li Qiuyu brushed aside the hair by her ear. She wanted to find an excuse but ended up saying nothing and walked directly over to hug Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was so good to her and her mother that she felt there was nothing else she could give Wang Tao but herself. She had already mentally prepared for this when she followed Wang Tao. Besides, she didn't dislike Wang Tao; she even liked him.
However, in the past two days, she noticed Han Rui and Ding Yuqin coming out of Wang Tao's room one after another, which gave her a sense of crisis. Seizing the chance of Wang Tao making her an Ability User, she decided to take the initiative to come over.
Actually, she initially thought Wang Tao would take the initiative, but when he didn't, it made her feel insecure. Did Wang Tao really have no interest in her, only in Ding Yuqin and Han Rui?
So today, she specially waited in Wang Tao's room, believing that as long as she thickened her skin to stay here, Ding Yuqin and Han Rui probably wouldn't come over, giving her the chance to be alone with Wang Tao. Whether she could seize it or not depended on herself.
Although Li Qiuyu was also quite shy in this aspect, she was bolder compared to Ding Yuqin and Han Rui. At least she didn't avoid Wang Tao's gaze and dared to look him in the eye. Her eyes seemed to be able to drip water.
Wang Tao wasn't insensitive either. He embraced Li Qiuyu's slender waist, feeling the fiery warmth of her body, and lowered his head to kiss her.
...
It's undeniable, an Ability User's physical strength is indeed formidable.
Compared with Han Rui and Ding Yuqin, Wang Tao and Li Qiuyu could play games for much longer. Although it eventually ended with Li Qiuyu conceding actively, the whole experience was much better than before, at least Wang Tao was completely satisfied.
"If they all came to play games together, the experience would surely be maximized..."
Just as Wang Tao was thinking about when to invite the three girls to play games together, the intercom by the bed suddenly rang.
"Wang Tao, Wang Tao, this is Bai Hao, something happened at the base!"
Wang Tao thought it was Wei Zhenguo and the others, but to his surprise, it was Bai Hao, the Head of the Red Stone Base.
"This is Wang Tao, this is Wang Tao, what happened to the Red Stone Base?"
Wang Tao immediately asked.
"Rats! Countless zombie rats have appeared inside the base! Although we discovered them early and have temporarily held them off, we're struggling to maintain it! We're requesting support!"
Bai Hao's tone was very urgent; this was clearly a critical moment for the survival of the base.
"Zombie rats!"
Wang Tao frowned.
When they saw many mutant rats in Shuize County before, Wang Tao already felt that this life's gorilla zombies might not pose a threat to Shuize Base, but these zombie rats in the sewers were uncertain.
Precisely because of the concern that there might be zombie rats in the sewers threatening Shuize Base's safety, Wang Tao went to the Red Stone Base. If Shuize Base really faced some safety hazard, they could move the survivors to the Red Stone Base, providing an alternative retreat.
But unexpectedly, Shuize Base didn't encounter a rat problem, while Red Stone Base did first. Judging by Bai Hao's urgent tone, this rat infestation was certainly not to be taken lightly.
"Alright, hang in there, I'm on my way."
Wang Tao immediately got up.
Li Qiuyu had already fallen asleep in Wang Tao's arms, sleeping soundly. Hearing Wang Tao speak in a daze, she felt Wang Tao's embrace loosening and sleepily opened her eyes.
"Wang Tao, what's happening..."
"I have to go out for a while; something happened at Red Stone Base. Wait for me at home."
Feeling the seriousness in Wang Tao's tone, Li Qiuyu finally woke up completely.
"Alright! Take care of yourself!"
"Right!"
While getting dressed, Wang Tao used the intercom to contact Wei Zhenguo, telling him that something had happened at the Red Stone Base and that he should prepare. Then Wang Tao scooped up the still-sleeping Taxue and immediately left Shuize Base.
