The next morning, Wang Tao went to the Resource Department.
All five departments of the Shuize Base were located in the Comprehensive Building, including the committee meeting rooms. Although they were referred to by their individual department names, in reality, there weren’t many people, so everything was housed together.
The Resource Department controlled all the resources of the Survivor Base and was also responsible for issuing tasks to find emergency supplies. These tasks came with a high amount of Contribution Points.
When Hunters found supplies outside, they generally kept what they could use and handed over what they couldn’t to the Resource Department in exchange for Contribution Points.
Contribution Points could not be directly traded, but the items obtained with
Contribution Points could be traded.
Regarding trade, the Base didn’t have any strict requirements-not just for trade but also, other than prohibiting infighting, harming other survivors, and similar conventions, there weren’t many stringent rules. It was relatively free.
The Resource Department was on the first floor, and a young, chubby man was surrounded by a crowd. Wang Tao did not approach them; instead, he looked at the papers posted on the wall, which listed the Contribution Points awarded for recycling certain resources.
The highest Contribution Points were given for medicines and some medical equipment. It was evident that the Base’s medical resources were scarce. Wang Tao only had a few medical kits, which weren’t even sufficient for his use, so naturally, he wouldn’t hand them over.
As for other items, such as electronic products, various tools, and some food, Wang Tao had some to spare and could exchange them for Contribution Points. However, these items were at his home and couldn’t be brought over right away.
In addition to recycling materials, the Resource Department also allowed for the exchange of other items with Contribution Points.
After Wang Tao carefully examined the exchange list, he was quite surprised.
“They even let you exchange for guns?”
The list stated that a handgun could be exchanged for ten thousand Contribution Points, bullets not included.
However, earning ten thousand Contribution Points was difficult; ordinary people certainly had no chance. This must have been intended especially for Hunters.
Moreover, Wang Tao not only saw guns on the exchange list but also bulletproof vests, high-power walkie-talkies… even Inhibitors!
Below the Inhibitor, there was a detailed description of its effect, with a special note emphasizing: With an Inhibitor, it’s like having an extra half-life!
Of course, the Contribution Points needed to exchange for an Inhibitor were the highest, at a whopping one hundred thousand Contribution Points for one bottle!
Wang Tao was curious about the origin of these Inhibitors-whether they were from airdrops or obtained through other channels. With committee members comprising the Security Army, police, and Government officials, it made him wonder…
But regardless of the source, as long as these Inhibitors were available, a lot of people would be willing to save up Contribution Points at the Base. After all, an Inhibitor could temporarily prevent the outbreak of the zombie virus, so saying it was like having an extra half-life was quite reasonable.
Wang Tao made a mental note of some items he was interested in, planning to come back later and exchange his unnecessary items for Contribution Points.
Even though he had Inhibitors and guns, no one would complain about having more. He would definitely take the opportunity to acquire them if he could. And items like bulletproof and stab-proof vests interested him as well-they must be more comfortable than wearing a steel plate. As for the high-power walkie-talkies, priced at one hundred Contribution Points each, Wang Tao didn’t have enough Points for now, so he planned to exchange for them in a few days.
By then, the young chubby man had finally finished his work. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he came up to Wang Tao.
■’Good day, sir. My name is Guo Chao. Would you like to exchange items for Contribution Points, or would you like to use Contribution Points to exchange for items?”
Guo Chao looked at Wang Tao, who was tall and strapping with a horned hammer stained with HP fastened to his waist, and treated him with great respect.
One could tell at a glance that he was a Hunter; everyone in the Base held Hunters in high regard. After all, much of their living supplies were brought back by Hunters from the outside. The Base often promoted the merits of these Hunters.
■■Hello, I’d like to exchange for a few Firefighter Axes.” The Firefighter Axes were ten Contribution Points each, and their quality should be decent-time for the horned hammer to retire. Then, Wei Zhenguo curiously inquired, “By the way, how many Hunters do we have at our Base?”
While reaching for the axes, Guo Chao replied to Wang Tao:
“Currently, there are about fifty people. This number is always changing, as it is a high-risk job. New people join from time to time, and some of the old ones leave…”
Out of the five hundred people at the Base, only about fifty were Hunters who ventured out to search for supplies. This ratio was lower than what Wang Tao had imagined.
But that’s normal. Many survivors join the base seeking a stable environment to live in. As long as they don’t have to face the zombies outside, they are willing to do any hard and exhausting work.
“Mr. Wang, you’ve just arrived at our base, right? It looks like you’re alone. Personally, I’d suggest that if you go out to scavenge for supplies, it’s better to form a team. After all, it’s too dangerous to go alone…”
Guo Chao said as he pulled out a document.
“Take a look. These are the Hunters who have recently been looking to form teams. Maybe there’s someone compatible with you…”
Wang Tao took it.
The document listed about a dozen names and their brief introductions. However, these introductions were not detailed and were very subjective, simply stating who was strong, who was fast, and who had good eyesight, among other things.
Wang Tao naturally wasn’t interested in these. If they were all ordinary people, they were likely to hold him back.
His only interest was in Han Rui, because her Ability to sense zombies was quite remarkable. Paired with his own strength… it was unrealistic to say he could dominate the post-apocalyptic world, but at least it would make scavenging for supplies in the city much more convenient.
Buzz~Roar~
Suddenly, a roaring engine sound came from outside.
“Is it the same group of soldiers who came back earlier?
Wang Tao instinctively looked out the window.
“Hmm? It doesn’t seem to be the same people we saw earlier…”
“Quick, quick, move aside!”
A large and a small vehicle came to a stop at the entrance. Though both vehicles were modified, they looked different from the ones seen before.
Five soldiers dressed in camouflage and fully armed got out of the vehicles. Among them, two were carrying a stretcher with a burly man in his thirties, also clad in camouflage, on it.
At that moment, the burly man’s thigh was wrapped in a bandage that had turned red. But he grinned, chatting and laughing with the soldiers beside him. “It’s Squad Leader Wei! Squad Leader Wei is injured!
Guo Chao exclaimed in shock and hurried over.
“Squad Leader Wei… Wei Zhenguo?”
Wang Tao had read the “Shuize Base Survivors’ Covenant,” which contained information on key personnel within the base.
There was only one Squad Leader Wei, the cofounder of Shuize Base, former captain of the Shuize Security Army, and now one of the seven committee members of the base: Wei Zhenguo.
As one of the top leaders of the base, he personally went out to scour for supplies?
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised; this differed from what he had expected. “Squad Leader Wei, how did you get hurt!”
At this moment, a slim male doctor in a white lab coat hurried over from next door.
“Ha ha, just got knocked flying by a special zombie. Hiss- Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious!”
Wei Zhenguo, lying on the stretcher, said with a grin..
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
