“Oh? You know him?”
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
Is the world really that small? To run into an acquaintance here?
“Cough, I’m not entirely sure, but I do know someone named Shao Yong. We had a business cooperation before, and he is from Shuize County. Unless there is someone with the same name, it should be the same person…”
After thinking for a while, Wang Tao said:
“Alright, come with me.”
“Ah, okay!”
Wang Tao took Gao Hua upstairs to the committee office door.
“Wait for me outside.”
“Yes!”
Wang Tao entered alone.
Inside the room, the other committee members were present.
Seeing their jubilant expressions, one could tell that their fusion must have been successful.
Upon closer inspection, Wang Tao was certain, for each person now had a blue stripe.
“Congratulations!”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
“Haha! Congratulations to us all!”
Now that they had become Ability Users, the world felt somewhat different to them.
“Can you continue to fuse with Crystal Cores?”
Wang Tao asked.
“I can!”
“Me too!”
The members quickly responded.
Apart from Liu He, Xiang Hongbin, Lu Gang, and Wei Zhen Guo were able to continue fusing. Adding to that, Ren Jie had already confirmed his ability to continue… So now only Liu He and Feng Ming’an were restricted to fusing with one type of Crystal Core.
Liu He didn’t really care since he wasn’t a combatant. But Feng Ming’an was feeling a bit distressed, sensing that he had become the weakest among them…
“As for the second Crystal Core, decide for yourself about the fusion. I’ve already told you about the side effects, so just think it over carefully.”
Wang Tao didn’t offer any further suggestions; after all, they were now experienced.
Then, the conversation shifted back to the situation at Shao Yong’s Base. With more than a week passed, if there was still no action from Shao Yong’s side, they had to make their move. After all, they owed an explanation to the other survivors in the base.
At this point, Wang Tao suddenly said:
“Among the survivors I sent to rescue, one named Gao Hua claims to know Shao Yong.”
“Hmm? Knows him?”
Ren Jie furrowed his brows.
“Yes, and not only does he know him, he has also expressed he can lead our people back.”
“Oh? Then I must hear his thoughts!”
The members were curious to know what made Gao Hua so confident.
Soon, Gao Hua was brought in.
“Greetings, committee members!”
Gao Hua quickly bowed deeply.
“Gao Hua, share your thoughts with us. Speak freely, without any reservations.”
Wang Tao said to Gao Hua.
“This is the situation: I’ve had business collaborations with Shao Yong before, and I’ve helped him a lot. We have a good relationship! I believe I can go over and gauge his intentions first, to see what he’s thinking. Then we can decide whether to persuade him or to take action to rescue our people…”
After hearing Gao Hua’s proposal, the members fell into a frown-filled contemplation. Wang Tao then asked Wei Zhen Guo to describe Shao Yong’s appearance.
Gao Hua nodded repeatedly after listening.
“It’s him!”
“Okay, you can leave for now; we’ll discuss this further.”
Ren Jie said amiably.
“Yes.”
After Gao Hua left the room, Wei Zhen Guo and the others exchanged thoughts.
Rationally speaking, sending Gao Hua was a good idea; if he were successful, it would be cause for celebration. If he failed, or even perished in the endeavor, the base wouldn’t suffer any significant loss. With so many survivors at the base, they could afford to lose one Gao Hua.
However, Gao Hua was someone Wang Tao had asked to rescue, so they needed his opinion.
“I have no objections. If you think he’s capable, let him go. He himself wants to demonstrate his abilities and gain the base’s attention,” Wang Tao said indifferently.
“Great! Let’s let him try. We should prepare for both outcomes…”
Wei Zhen Guo nodded.
Then Wang Tao called Gao Hua back in and said to him:
“What do you need to prepare, or what kind of support do you require? Just ask.”
Gao Hua’s face lit up upon hearing this.
“I need some food, and someone to take me to Shao Yong’s place. After all, I lack the ability to get there on my own…”
Ever since Gao Hua encountered Wang Tao, he had the thought of firmly latching onto Wang Tao’s coattails.
After arriving at Shuize Base, he discovered that Wang Tao was actually one of the seven leaders of the base!
This made his desire to latch on even stronger.
But he also knew that he had no particular skills to showcase or hadn’t yet demonstrated any, which made him an expendable character to these leaders. They might not even want him to hold on to them.
Therefore, he had to show his capabilities and get the leaders to take note of him!
The kidnapping of the base’s survivors seemed like an opportunity, especially since the kidnapper was Shao Yong – this made the chance even greater!
Because he was quite familiar with Shao Yong, knowing his personality and preferences, he could cater to them!
Even though Shao Yong was now an Ability User, he was still human, and these things were still useful!
Of course, Gao Hua had more in mind than just forging a good relationship with Shao Yong; when necessary, he was prepared to employ some special tactics…
“Fine, come with me, I’ll take you to get ready,” Ren Jie said as he led Gao Hua away, with Wang Tao following along.
“Are we starting the operation today? Is that okay?”
Ren Jie asked, turning his head.
“No problem!”
Gao Hua nodded repeatedly.
Ren Jie organized a Hunter Team for Gao Hua’s escort and equipped him with a walkie-talkie and some food.
