If someone else had come over, like Wei Zhen Guo or Chen Zhuang, then it would be every man for himself.
Before the sun set, they finally saw the gates of Shuize Base.
Wang Tao looked at Han Rui and found that she had fallen asleep.
“Wake up, we’re home.”
Wang Tao patted Han Rui’s face.
“Mm—”
Han Rui woke up groggily. She was still a bit confused about her surroundings and murmured subconsciously:
“…hubby?”
“Yes!”
Wang Tao was startled for a moment, then promptly responded.
Hearing this familiar voice, Han Rui became fully awake and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Wang Tao found this amusing, but since the vehicle was about to be inspected, he didn’t tease her.
After the two got out of the car and a brief inspection was completed, Wang Tao told someone to go clean his car. The front of the vehicle was covered with zombie gore, which looked pretty disgusting.
“You’ve had a long day; go back and get some good rest. As for the spoils from these past two days, don’t worry, I’m not one to hog it all. I’ll sort it out and share some with you,” Wang Tao turned around and said to Han Rui behind him.
“Oh…”
Han Rui, with her head down, quickly left.
Wang Tao found it strange, sensing that Han Rui was acting a bit odd, with her face still flushed.
Once Han Rui entered her office in the comprehensive building, she immediately leaned against the wall, touching her hot cheeks, her eyes filled with shyness.
When she had woken up just now, she had subconsciously called out ‘hubby’, but what made her feel shy was that although she had said ‘hubby’, the image that had appeared in her mind was of Wang Tao…
“Wang Tao, you’re finally back!”
Ding Yuqin, seeing Wang Tao return safely, hurriedly wanted to rush over and hug him, but was blocked by Wang Tao placing a hand on her forehead.
After all, he was quite dirty and needed to wash up first.
Ding Yuqin gave Wang Tao a look, but she was ultimately relieved.
Wang Tao was supposed to return yesterday, but everyone else had come back except him.
Even though Wang Tao had contacted the base through the walkie-talkie to say he was not in danger, spending the night outside was still too risky.
Ding Yuqin had not slept well last night, feeling that she was now emotionally and physically unable to part with Wang Tao…
After taking a shower and changing into fresh clothes, Wang Tao came out to see Ding Yuqin had made several dishes and was waiting for him at the dining table.
Seeing Wang Tao come out, she immediately got up to serve him rice.
Wang Tao was surprised and asked:
“Eh? Aren’t these dishes absent from the house?”
“I exchanged them today at the Resource Department with Contribution Points,”
Ding Yuqin briefly explained.
In the past two days, those who had left the base had generally come back with great yields. Some people found some vegetables and meat. Not wanting to eat them for themselves, they exchanged for Contribution Points. Using these points, you could buy more Ration Tickets, and for the sake of feeling full, the food exchanged with Ration Tickets was more cost-effective.
Before Wang Tao returned, he had communicated with Ding Yuqin, and she went to purchase these foods and prepared a sumptuous dinner.
“Sister-in-law, you’ve gone to the trouble,” Wang Tao said with a smile, then he asked, “Sister-in-law, how many Contribution Points do you have left?”
“Uh, none left…”
Ding Yuqin said somewhat embarrassedly.
“Then next time you want to exchange for something, just use my Contribution Points.”
“Ah? Is that okay? Aren’t Contribution Points non-tradable?”
“What’s the problem? I’ll just say I’m exchanging for myself; nobody dares say anything, and I could exchange them myself anyway, I’m just too lazy to go.”
Wang Tao laughed and shook his head. As a family member of a committee member, shouldn’t he have some privileges? He had so many Contribution Points that he didn’t know how to spend them all.
“Oh, okay…”
A hint of joy appeared on Ding Yuqin’s face.
It wasn’t that she wanted to use Wang Tao’s Contribution Points; it was that Wang Tao’s gesture gave her a strong sense of security. She worried that she was not attractive enough to Wang Tao, but now it seemed that Wang Tao did like her.
After enjoying a hearty dinner, Ding Yuqin sat on Wang Tao’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, her cheeks blushing as she looked lovingly into Wang Tao’s eyes.
“Wang Tao~”
Seeing that look in her eyes, Wang Tao knew what she wanted.
Wang Tao wanted it too. He had been injured and lost some HP that day when facing a Self-exploder. Tonight, he’d need to properly replenish his blood with Ding Yuqin.
Before that, though, Wang Tao still had an important task, and that was to tally some of the spoils from his recent outing.
Wang Tao had been away for two days and found five airdrops, all with parachutes.
He had taken everything from the first, third, and fourth airdrops. The second airdrop was empty, and there were people fishing nearby, so Wang Tao didn’t go there. From the fifth airdrop, the one Wu Fei and others had fought over, only a box of Inhibitors was left.
So Wang Tao had managed to get 16 boxes of Inhibitors in total, each box containing 20 bottles, making 320 bottles in all.
Adding to the 19 bottles he already had, he now had a total of 339 bottles of Inhibitors!
But having so many Inhibitors on hand was currently of no use to him. As a member of the base’s committee, he had to make some contributions to the base.
Therefore, apart from the share for Han Rui, Wang Tao decided to set aside a portion for the base’s warehouse, as a way to motivate Hunters to earn Contribution Points.
Of course, Wang Tao estimated that others had also gathered quite a few Inhibitors, so the base’s supply would definitely increase, and it would be inappropriate to continue exchanging them for 100,000 Contribution Points. The price might drop. But, that was for Ren Jie and the others to consider. Wang Tao didn’t need to worry about it..
