Wang Tao never thought that he would see Ding Yuqin's husband Zhao Yuan here.

"He is still alive..."

Wang Tao's expression suddenly became a little strange.

In the current situation, Zhao Yuan's survival would make Ding Yuqin very embarrassed. Should he tell Ding Yuqin...

Wang Tao touched his chin.

He didn't care. Regardless of whether Zhao Yuan was alive or not, Ding Yuqin was his. After all, he promised her in the last life, and he had the ability to do so.

But if Ding Yuqin knew that Zhao Yuan was still alive, it might be hard to say. After all, Ding Yuqin in this life had not experienced too much with Wang Tao, and the feelings were definitely not that deep.

As for killing Zhao Yuan... Wang Tao didn't know that he was so ungentlemanly. With his ability, he didn't need such means.

While thinking, Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yuan again.

Compared with before, Zhao Yuan has changed a lot. In the past, he was gentle and refined, and looked very knowledgeable and a successful person. But now, he is wearing a suitable military uniform, with a cold face and some sharpness between his eyebrows, and he looks quite like that.

"Has this joined the military..."

Just as Wang Tao was stroking his chin and thinking, a slightly plump woman with a cane appeared and walked towards Zhao Yuan.

Seeing the woman, Zhao Yuan's serious and cold face showed a warm smile. He helped the woman lift the broken hair on her forehead, revealing a face with several scars. The two whispered for a while, and then left together.

Since they went out of another door, Zhao Yuan did not notice Wang Tao.

"Mr. Wang, that's Colonel Zhao and his wife from our base."

The soldier leading the way saw Wang Tao's eyes suddenly fixed on Zhao Yuan and the two, and he immediately introduced them with a look.

"Colonel?"

Wang Tao was even more surprised. It's only been a few days, and he not only joined the military, but also was promoted to colonel. There's something!

As for that woman...Wang Tao can only say that Zhao Yuan's taste is quite unique. He doesn't want such a beautiful Ding Yuqin, but actually likes this lame and disfigured woman.

Of course, Wang Tao didn't know what happened between them. Maybe they helped each other in the end times and experienced life and death together. It was normal for the two to have feelings for each other.

However, there was one question that puzzled Wang Tao - Ding Yuqin had not been able to contact Zhao Yuan for a long time, thinking that Zhao Yuan had met with an accident. But Zhao Yuan is alive and well now, which means that he did not contact Ding Yuqin.

Could it be that his mobile phone was lost? But even if his mobile phone was lost, he couldn't even remember his wife's phone number, right? And before today, the communication had not been cut off. He was doing well here, and it shouldn't be difficult to borrow a mobile phone to make a call...

"Brother, do you know him?"

Jiang Shixue was a little curious.

"I know him."

Wang Tao nodded and didn't say much. Let's do business first and see him later.

"Mr. Wang, we're here."

The soldier took Wang Tao and the others to the command center upstairs and pushed the door in. The layout inside was somewhat similar to the command center of the Wuyang Military Base.

"Welcome, welcome! I'm Bai Hao."

A middle-aged man in military uniform who looked very energetic came over with a smile. He was Bai Hao, the actual leader of the Red Stone Base.

"Hello, I'm Wang Tao, and this is my sister Jiang Shixue."

Wang Tao stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

"I didn't expect that you could actually come here from Shuize County, and there are only two of you... I guess it must have been very difficult for you along the way? But with your physique, you can tell at a glance that you are a master!"

Bai Hao was a little moved and surprised. He didn't expect Wang Tao to bring a little girl and a cat with him... Are you sure this doesn't increase the difficulty of survival? But he didn't ask in detail.

"It's really not easy."

Wang Tao nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work! It's noon now. Let's have a meal together and chat while eating?" Bai Hao said again.

In the end times, the best way to entertain guests is to treat them to a meal.

"That's great. I've been hungry for a long time!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Haha, let's go."

Bai Hao took Wang Tao and the others directly to the private room of the restaurant downstairs.

This restaurant is dedicated to providing food for their military. Although the food is not rich compared to before the end of the world, the quantity is definitely sufficient. It can be seen that they are not short of food at present.

However, since it is to entertain guests, the food must be better than usual. Bai Hao asked the kitchen to use fresh ingredients for today's meal.

"Alas, although there is no shortage of food now, these foods are all reserve grains preserved before the end of the world. There is nothing wrong with the food itself, but the taste is average. Fresh ingredients are getting less and less. If I hadn't seen you come all the way here, I wouldn't be willing to eat it!"

Bai Hao looks like a person without airs, very down-to-earth. If it weren't for this military uniform, his identity might be overlooked.

"Then we will have a good meal!"

Just as Wang Tao and Bai Hao were chatting, some people in military uniforms came over one after another.

These people are all senior executives of the Red Stone Base. They heard that someone came all the way from Shuize County, and they all wanted to come and see who the person is and have a meal.

"Hello, Chief! I'm here to eat for free, please approve!"

Someone else said bluntly.

"You kid, now that you're here, can I still chase you away?"

Bai Hao scolded with a smile.

It can be seen that Bai Hao's prestige among them is still very high, and he is deeply loved by them. They have a good relationship. Although they are superiors and subordinates at work, they are also friends in daily life.

The current situation of a survivor base can be judged from the state of the people in the base; the potential of a base can be judged from the state of the senior management in the base.

From the current situation, Wang Tao knows that the state of the people and the senior management of this red stone base is not bad. The red stone base can definitely be developed, and I don't know why it suddenly fell in the last life...

At this time, three more people came in.

A slightly fat middle-aged man in military uniform, a young woman with a cane, and a young man in military uniform who supported her.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tao felt strange. He said he would go to find Zhao Yuan later, but he didn't expect to meet him again now.

"Old Bai, you are not authentic! You didn't call me when you have delicious food!"

The slightly fat middle-aged man said loudly as soon as he entered the door.

"Hey! Didn't Xiaolian tell me that you were drunk yesterday and didn't wake up yet, so I didn't bother you!"

Bai Hao spread his hands helplessly.

"Then I don't care, you have to compensate me with a bottle of wine!"

The slightly fat middle-aged man looked unwilling. Now, both cigarettes and white wine are good things. Even in their base, they are very precious and can't be bought with money.

"Okay, okay, here you go!"

Bai Hao opened the cabinet next to him, and there happened to be a bottle of white wine in it. Obviously, this was prepared by him in advance.

"That's about it!"

The slightly fat middle-aged man immediately took the white wine happily, and then looked at Wang Tao, and said with admiration:

"This comrade is amazing! He can come to our Hongshi County alive from Shuize County! Now let our army attack, we may not be able to get through. After all, there are too many zombies outside!"

"I was a little luckier. I didn't encounter too many zombies on the road."

Wang Tao explained with a smile.

Naturally, no one would take this seriously, just thinking that Wang Tao was being modest. There may be lucky people in the apocalypse, but being able to travel dozens of kilometers from one county to another in the apocalypse is not something that can be explained by good luck.

Bai Hao took the initiative to introduce Wang Tao:

"Comrade Wang Tao, this is Ji Chen, General Ji. This is his daughter, Comrade Ji Lian, and this is his son-in-law..."

"Zhao Yuan."

Wang Tao suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Do you know each other?"

Bai Hao and others looked at Wang Tao curiously.

At this time, Zhao Yuan was a little dumbfounded. He never thought that he could see Wang Tao here!

"Brother Zhao and I are from the same hometown. We have always been neighbors and lived next door to each other."

Wang Tao explained with a smile.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears. It stands to reason that meeting fellow villagers in the apocalypse should be very exciting. But Zhao Yuan's reaction at this time was somewhat beyond Wang Tao's expectations. He didn't seem to be very excited, but rather a little... horrified?

However, Zhao Yuan reacted quickly. After being shocked, he immediately showed a look of joy.

"Yes, yes! Wang Tao and I have known each other for a long time, and we had a good relationship before!"

After briefly explaining to everyone, Zhao Yuan looked at Wang Tao again and sighed:

"When the apocalypse broke out, I contacted you, but I never got in touch with you. I thought you..."

"Haha, I am lucky. Before the apocalypse broke out, I was electrocuted and fainted. When I woke up, I found that the world was coming to an end..."

After Wang Tao explained with a smile, he looked at Zhao Yuan again and said slowly:

"I saw the message that Brother Zhao sent me before asking me to do something. After I woke up, I couldn't contact Brother Zhao at that time. I thought Brother Zhao had met with an accident... Now that I see that Brother Zhao is fine, I feel relieved, and I can just talk to Brother Zhao about the thing you asked me to do..."

"Cough-cough-"

Zhao Yuan suddenly coughed, interrupting Wang Tao's words, and then when others were not paying attention, he winked at Wang Tao frantically.

Although Wang Tao didn't understand what his wink meant, judging from Zhao Yuan's current mood, he didn't seem to want to continue talking.

So Wang Tao shut up, but looked at Zhao Yuan with a strange look.

"Husband, what do you want to ask Mr. Wang for?"

Ji Lian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Ah? Oh, my family has a cat, and I hope Wang Tao can take care of it if he is capable!"

Zhao Yuan saw the black cat lying on Wang Tao's shoulder and immediately thought of a solution.

"Oh... so that's it! This black cat is so beautiful, what's its name?"

Ji Lian looked at the black cat and asked curiously.

"Taxue."

Wang Tao took the initiative to explain.

"Good name!"

Ji Lian didn't seem to like cats very much. After asking the name, she didn't say anything more, let alone touch it.

Taxue glanced at her and then "meowed".

Others didn't care about its cry, but Wang Tao could understand it. It said that the woman named Ji Lian looked at it with a bit of bad eyes, as if she wanted to kill it.

Although Ji Lian was just an ordinary person and couldn't threaten Taxue at all, Taxue still told Wang Tao about it.

Wang Tao touched Taxue's head to show that he had received it.

Based on Zhao Yuan's reaction when he saw him and Zhao Yuan's current identity, Wang Tao felt that he seemed to know what was going on.

But after all, it was at the dinner party, so Wang Tao didn't say anything more. After the dishes were served, Wang Tao chatted with Bai Hao and the others while eating, and said no more to Zhao Yuando.

Bai Hao and the others were still very curious about the situation in Shuize County. They heard that there were already more than 2,000 survivors in the Shuize base renovated by Shuize University, and everyone was a little stunned.

"Good boy! There are so many survivors! Wei Zhenguo and the others are quite capable!"

"We left in a hurry, and there were still many people who couldn't be saved. Fortunately, Wei Zhenguo rescued them! Unfortunately, they were too far away from us, and we probably won't be able to move to our Red Stone Base for the time being..."

"..."

Wang Tao came to Hongshi Base mainly to see how the situation was here and whether people from Shuize Base could be transferred here.

Bai Hao and the others naturally said that there was no problem. The Red Stone Base was very large and could accommodate even another 20,000 people, let alone more than 2,000 people. They are already discussing how to bring more than two thousand people back safely.

Wang Tao did not participate in the discussion on how to transfer. As long as they agree, Wang Tao will naturally find a way. But there is still a question, and that is how the Red Stone Base fell in the previous life. If the reason for the collapse is not found, then the Red Stone Base in this life will still not be very safe. Wang Tao came here this time to help them investigate...

After the meal, Bai Hao asked someone to arrange a room for Wang Tao so that Wang Tao could have a good rest. They had a rescue operation in the afternoon and were going to work now.

When Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue entered the room and were about to close the door, Zhao Yuan appeared sneakily.

Just as Wang Tao was about to say hello, Zhao Yuan shushed, then came in directly and closed the door.

"Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"

Wang Tao was a little confused.

"Wang Tao, is she... still alive?"

Zhao Yuan's eyes were a little complicated.

"You mean sister-in-law? She has food and drink, and is living well. Of course I take the things you entrust me to my heart."

When he heard that Ding Yuqin was not dead, the expression on Zhao Yuan's face changed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to Wang Tao:

"Wang Tao, because we have known each other for many years, do me a favor! Don't ever mention what I asked you to do before! Don't mention her again, just treat her as dead! Please!"

"Why?"

Wang Tao asked directly.

"You must have noticed that I have achieved some success in this red stone base, but this has a lot to do with my wife - my current wife Ji Lian."

Zhao Yuan looked embarrassed, but he still said it.

"I thought Yu Qin was dead before I got together with her, and that's what I told her, and her character is a bit jealous. If she thinks I lied to her on purpose, it will be troublesome... You Don’t worry, I won’t let your help go to waste! You will definitely live here in the future, right? I will find a way to repay you!”

After listening to Zhao Yuan's words, Wang Tao frowned and said:

"Brother Zhao, isn't this not good? My sister-in-law has been waiting for you to come back at home, but you..."

"Don't tell him I'm still alive! Just say I'm dead - no, just don't mention me!"

Zhao Yuan looked determined.

"This... ugh!"

Wang Tao sighed helplessly, but he was sneering in his heart.

What Zhao Yuan said is very disgusting. Isn't this a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children for his own benefit?

And most importantly, Wang Tao felt that what Zhao Yuan told was not entirely true, and that he also concealed something important...
