“Hmm? Sit down and tell me what happened!”

Wang Tao personally poured a cup of water for Gao Hua.

Glug, glug—

Gao Hua drained the large cup of water in one breath, then wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly said:

“I heard that Shao Yong wasn’t dead, so I thought he might return. Thus, I went to the old mall early this morning to wait for him, and sure enough, I saw him!”

“He entered the underground mall furiously, and not long after, he came out even more enraged, killing lots of zombies as if to vent. Then he entered a residential area!”

“I heard him mention before that he had set up some temporary safe zones outside, and a few houses in this residential area were just that! I didn’t dare to follow any longer, so I immediately came to report to you, big brother!”

After listening to Gao Hua’s account, Wang Tao’s brow suddenly furrowed:

“You mean, you followed him until he entered the residential area? How long did you track him for?”

“All morning! I have to thank you, big brother, for significantly enhancing my strength. Otherwise, I couldn’t even get near the underground mall, let alone follow him…”

Gao Hua expressed his sincere gratitude.

But there was no smile on Wang Tao’s face; he was entirely serious.

“He… has come.”

“What?” Gao Hua was startled, then quickly said, “Big brother, are you talking about Shao Yong? He’s still in the residential area! I saw him enter with my own eyes!”

“No, he has come, and he followed you here.”

Wang Tao shook his head.

“…How can that be? That’s impossible!”

Gao Hua was still somewhat stunned.

“Shao Yong’s perception is very sharp. The chance of not being detected after tracking him for so long is almost impossible.” frёewebnoѵēl.com

When Wang Tao was near the hospital, he glanced at Shao Yong through a telescope from a distance, and he was noticed. Gao Hua following for so long without being caught? Clearly impossible.

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Gao Hua immediately started to panic.

Wang Tao then asked:

“Did you use the Stealth Potion?”

Previously, when he volunteered to rescue hostages, Wang Tao had given him some life-saving items, including two bottles of Stealth Potion, one for hiding from people and one for hiding from zombies.

However, Gao Hua did not use the potions at the time, and after returning to the base, he offered to give them back to Wang Tao, who refused to take them. After all, as a big brother, how could he reclaim gifts given to his younger brother? It was considered a reward for his sibling.

If Gao Hua had used the Stealth Potion that could hide from people, then it might be possible that he wasn’t detected.

But Gao Hua shook his head.

“No…”

“Then, how far away were you from him?”

Gao Hua did not dare to hide anything, thought for a moment, and quickly said:

“Probably… about twenty meters?”

At that distance, without using a Stealth Potion, Wang Tao could be one hundred percent certain that Shao Yong had noticed him.

Given Shao Yong’s character, if he had noticed someone tailing him, the fact he did not kill or even capture Gao Hua indicated a particular problem—Shao Yong intended to counter-track Gao Hua.

Thus, Wang Tao had concluded that Shao Yong had arrived.

And he might have already entered the base!

Shuize Base was originally established to stop zombies, and only the main gate was guarded by fully armed soldiers, while other areas were protected with high walls and barbed wire to stop the zombies. The high walls could stop zombies, but they would not stop an Ability User!

“What should we do now? I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Gao Hua was somewhat panicked.

After all, the speed with which the underground mall fell, leaving almost no survivors, was to his credit.

If Shao Yong had come for revenge, Gao Hua would certainly be the first one!

Moreover, if he had truly led Shao Yong into the base, then it would be as dangerous for the entire base as if he had released the zombie virus in the underground mall! Moreover, Shao Yong could be even more dangerous than the virus, as he was now a vengeful man seething with anger!

Seeing the anxious Gao Hua, Wang Tao stood up and patted his shoulder.

“You needn’t worry too much or blame yourself. Shao Yong had already learned the location of the Shuize Base from those Hunters, so he would’ve found his way here with or without you. What I need to do now is act as if nothing happened, and you should tell no one about this issue; leave the rest to me. Go get some rest, but I suggest you avoid less crowded areas, and it’s best to rest in the office. If there’s any danger, call for help on the walkie-talkie immediately.”

“…Okay!”

Gao Hua bowed deeply to Wang Tao with great gratitude, then left with a face full of shame.

“Big brother, I’m sorry for causing so much trouble for the base…”

If he had known that he was detected and followed by Shao Yong, he definitely wouldn’t have returned so quickly.

Having finally found a decent Survivor Base, he really didn’t want anything to happen to it. Especially since this incident would surely lower Wang Tao’s opinion of him… He had only just clung onto his big brother’s coattails and he didn’t want to be cast aside!

After Gao Hua left, Wang Tao looked out at the greenery outside the window and furrowed his brows in thought.

If he were Shao Yong, bent on revenge, upon following Gao Hua to the base, which location would he prioritize visiting?

The comprehensive building? The teachers’ apartments? The villa area? The cafeteria? The warehouse…

All these places seemed like plausible targets!

“Shao Yong… where are you?”

As Gao Hua walked away from the villa area, his heart was heavy with concern, but he did not show it on his face.

After all, Wang Tao had told him not to be too tense, so as not to let Shao Yong know that he was discovered. Otherwise, Shao Yong might act immediately, and both he and the base’s survivors would be in big trouble..
