Chapter 1131: Chapter 459 School Registration Chapter 1131: Chapter 459 School Registration The following day, at dawn.

Wang Tao woke up and saw the message sent by Gu Yun.

“The committee has already decided to send troops to explore the Rift…”

Wang Tao wasn’t surprised by this news. The Rift was definitely a place to go to; it was just a matter of going sooner or later.

However, the fact that the committee had made the decision so quickly indicated that they must have solved the problem of staying warm in the cold.

The issue wasn’t simple, but it wasn’t difficult either since anything was possible if sufficient funds were invested.

The committee must be determined to take a risk. It was highly likely linked to Wang Tao, after all, the news he had brought back from outside wasn’t good. If they continued to hunker down in the base, even if they survived the entire winter, they wouldn’t be able to go outside anymore because of the rapid Ascension of the zombies…

Gu Yun mentioned that the departure would be in three days and asked if the Starfire Society was going out this time.

Usually, those with strength would definitely go; he hoped that Starfire would participate, especially since they had a great healer! But since Wang Tao and his group had just returned from outside, they might need to rest and recover; hence Gu Yun wasn’t certain.

“Of course we’re going.”

Wang Tao replied with a voice message.

In three days’ time, Ding Yuqin and the others would have completed their Awakening.

Hearing the noise, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng opened their eyes beside him.

Lan Yulian was still a bit groggy.

“What’s up, Wang Tao…”
She normally had her guard up, but when she was with Wang Tao, she would subconsciously rely on him, hence lowering her alertness. Lu Yingfeng, in contrast, was much more alert since she was a bodyguard and couldn’t afford to lose vigilance.

Wang Tao shared the news he had just received with the two women, and they were also curious about the so-called Cave, naturally wanting to go down and have a look.

After getting up and washing up, Wang Tao planned to stay home for the day to rest and wait for Ding Yuqin to wake up.

But during breakfast, Gu Yun called.

Wang Tao thought it would be about the Rift, but it wasn’t; the Awakeners School was almost ready, and Wang Tao could come over to check everything out. After ensuring there were no issues, they could officially open the doors.

“That was quick…”

Before Wang Tao had left the city, City Hall mentioned that the school should be almost ready by the time he returned. He hadn’t expected them to be this efficient.

“The building and all are ready-made. They’ve temporarily pulled a bunch of people over; if you find them unsuitable, just replace them. The school obviously doesn’t have any students yet. For recruiting students, you said you’d handle it yourself, so we’re not getting involved. In any case, you’re the boss of the school, what you say goes, everything centers around you!”

Wang Tao’s authority as the principal was significant, he had a say in everything except for the school’s finances.

In reality, Wang Tao didn’t care about the level of authority; he just wanted to unearth and train those with potential. However, having this kind of power was convenient for him.

Then, Gu Yun added:
“Cough, Wang Tao, when the school officially opens, there might be a group of people who come to enroll first. See if they have potential, keep them if they do, if not, don’t bother…”
Hearing this, Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

They were all adults, the meaning behind those words was clear; probably all those who came to register first had connections in some form.

However, Gu Yun had not said that Wang Tao must keep them, but rather to select based on potential, and those without it could be easily dismissed. It was still mainly up to Wang Tao.

That meant these connected individuals were just taking advantage of the chance to take an early test, not gaining much else.

“Alright.”

Wang Tao nodded in agreement.

This was reasonable; since the base provided the money, manpower, and venue, it was normal for some people to get a backdoor entry. Since they didn’t insist that Wang Tao keep everyone, the reason was simple–the school was for training Awakeners who needed to go out and kill zombies. If they truly lacked strength, going out would mean courting death. Therefore, there was no need to keep everyone. If they couldn’t become Awakeners, living a safe and secure life as Ordinary people was also quite respectable…

The two chatted for a bit more before Wang Tao finally said:
“I’ll go check it out now. By the way, where is it?”

“Alright, the address is…”
The location of the Awakeners School was also in the central area but a bit distant from City Hall.

Wang Tao called over Lan Yulian and Xiang Hongbin among others, and they drove together to the Awakeners School.

The snow was still falling outside, but humans were highly adaptable; there was basically no disaster-related news within the base anymore, and people wearing thick clothes and Mechanical Exoskeletons rotated clear snow off the roads.

Despite the continuous snow and the extremely low temperatures making it impossible for Ordinary people to go outside, the situation had improved compared to when the heavy snow had just started. It was on the right track, slowly progressing toward a better direction.

After a while, Wang Tao and his group arrived at the Awakeners School.

From afar, they could see the large steel doors with a few big characters–Changhe Base Awakeners School.

“This place seems pretty big! And the way it looks, it’s like a military camp…”

Xiang Hongbin looked towards the school gates.

“After all, this school is different from other schools; it requires combat training, so there’s probably a large training field inside…”

As Wang Tao talked, their vehicle reached the gates.

Click–
The gates automatically opened.

And standing inside to welcome Wang Tao was his old acquaintance, Cheng Yiyi.
