“Sorry.”
Wang Tao felt somewhat embarrassed.
He had just intended to tease Chen Zhuang, but who knew the female zombie he had killed would turn out to be Chen Zhuang’s fiancee…
Wang Tao took out a cigarette, offered one to Chen Zhuang, and lit it for him.
“It’s okay. Ever since I lost contact with her, I had been preparing myself… Haha, actually, we didn’t have much feeling for each other, we met through a blind date before the New Year.”
Chen Zhuang took the cigarette, and drew a deep breath from it.
“We really didn’t have much feeling, really. It was just that I was 33, she was 30, both of us were single, and neither of us disliked the other, so we just went ahead with it, that’s all. We had planned to get married next month, in June. She said she wanted a daughter since it gets harder to have children as you get older, and I liked the idea of a daughter, but I preferred to have two children, ideally a boy and a girl. Of course, I would have respected her wish if she didn’t want to… Before the apocalypse struck, I was at the hospital and she was at the clinic. After a morning call, the zombie virus broke out, and I couldn’t contact her again…”
At this point, Chen Zhuang suddenly turned and said to Wang Tao with his back facing him:
“I just remembered I have something to do, go ahead and exchange for Contribution Points.”
“…Okay.”
Wang Tao stood up, patted Chen Zhuang on the shoulder from behind, and then left directly.
Once Wang Tao had left, Chen Zhuang slowly sat down on the ground, his eyes red.
“Little Rong, it’s my fault…”
Wang Tao looked at the list of medicines, recalled what Chen Zhuang had explained about their uses, and then decided to keep the ones he thought useful for himself and opted to exchange the rest for Contribution Points.
“Mr. Wang, you’re back!”
The Resources Department’s Guo Chao saw Wang Tao carrying a Snake Skin Bag and immediately rushed over with respectful eagerness.
Apart from Wang Tao, there were a few other people there, dressed in a way that suggested they were also Hunters. They were somewhat surprised to see Wang Tao.
After all, Wang Tao’s stature was visually striking. He stood at the entrance, blocking the indoor light completely.
Wang Tao placed the sack on the ground and said with a smile:
“Let’s see how many Contribution Points it’s worth.”
“Right away!”
Guo Chao hurriedly opened the bag, expecting it to be a bag full of food. But when he saw what was inside, he exclaimed in surprise.
“Wow! So much medicine!”
The others, hearing his voice, also turned to look and were incredulous at the sight of the sack full of medicine.
“Damn, bro, you’re awesome! Getting your hands on so much medicine!”
One of them blurted out involuntarily.
“Ah? Is this a lot?”
Wang Tao was genuinely puzzled. A clinic was supposed to have a lot of medicine, and he had just picked up what was left over, which wasn’t much. Not to mention, he had kept some for himself.
The others were silenced by Wang Tao, uncertain if he was just showing off.
Guo Chao, who was still counting the medicine, hurriedly said:
“Mr. Wang Tao is new to our base, having just arrived three days ago; he’s not very familiar with many things yet.”
“No wonder, I thought I hadn’t seen you around the base!”
The few people then realized the situation, and one of them explained:
“That’s a lot of medicine! When we go out scavenging for supplies, we do so in circles expanding outwards from the base. The closest clinics and pharmacies were scavenged long ago; it’s impossible to still find so much medicine. You must have gone to stores and clinics farther away, right?”
Only then did Wang Tao understand that other people scavenged in expanding circles. He had approached it differently; he had simply chosen a place and driven straight to it…
“Right, I got these from the Borui Clinic.”
Wang Tao didn’t hide it.
“Man, you went that far!”
“The Borui Clinic is like two or three kilometers away from our base, right?”
“Impressive!”
The group was thoroughly astonished. They wouldn’t dare venture so far out. The men quickly introduced themselves.
“Hey mate! Let’s get acquainted, my name is Fan Yuangong…”
People would always pursue those with capability, no matter the time.
“Hello, I’m Wang Tao.”
After brief introductions, the group left. They had just spent a day outside and needed to rest up.
Wang Tao waited a bit more, and Guo Chao finally gestured to him with a calculator:
“Mr. Wang, the medicine you’ve handed in can be exchanged for a total of 31,230 Contribution Points…”
“Huh? Over thirty thousand?”
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
The number was more than he expected.
“The value of items in exchange for Contribution Points at our base changes all the time; the Contribution Points required are higher for items in demand. Some of the medicine you brought in is currently what we need the most… Would you like to exchange all these supplies for Contribution Points?”
Guo Chao hurriedly elaborated.
“Sure, go ahead and exchange them.”
Wang Tao nodded.
Guo Chao immediately leaped into action and started the operation.
“Mr. Wang, please wait a moment, once the system confirms, the Contribution Points will be credited to your account.”
About ten minutes later, Wang Tao’s phone vibrated. He opened the app called “Shuize Base,” which displayed the credit of Points. His total was now “31,240/31,370” Contribution Points.
With Contribution Points in hand, Wang Tao naturally began to use them; keeping them had no purpose.
Other than guns and Inhibitors, which couldn’t be exchanged, everything else could be. However, the exchangeable items listed weren’t many, and Guo Chao told him that was all they had for now, though there might be more to come in the future..
