Chapter 61 We've struck it rich!

A hint of a smile flashed in Xie Tu's eyes. "We've done this once before, and the base gave us a reward of 50,000."

Each member of Team Zero receives 10,000 points.

Now that there's an extra teammate, I wonder if things will change.

"Fifty thousand!!!" Yun Zhao gasped softly.

Each person has 8,300, 7,000 plus 5,000 plus 8,300...

We've struck it rich!

This is just the points from one mission.

Rabbit felt a little embarrassed. "Sister Yun Zhao, if there's only 50,000, you can take the lion's share. We have no objection."

The other three nodded.

They all knew that Yun Zhao had just arrived at the base and probably didn't have many points.

Moreover, she was the one who found the gatekeeper, and this mission was entirely thanks to her in that she was able to obtain so many supplies.

Yun Zhao blinked. "Only... fifty thousand?"

She had never seen so many points in her life, so why use the word 'only'?

Song Hao kindly explained, "What Rabbit means is that the base might adjust the reward mechanism for Team Zero because Team Zero has gained an extra member."

Because only Team Zero is responsible for carrying out missions in the four-star contaminated zone.

"The last reward was distributed based on the number of people we had."

Song Liang said, "There might be some changes this time. If not, you can take the lion's share. We don't care."

Yun Zhao waved his hand, "No need, let's just split it equally."

She had learned that the base mission points rewards were divided equally among all teams.

We are comrades-in-arms who have gone through thick and thin together, we are a whole, and we are people who can entrust our backs to each other without reservation.

No one's efforts should be taken for granted.

Besides, the captain had already promised to give her those snacks.

"This is the first time we've ever encountered such a generous reward," Duan Xi shrugged.

Everyone nodded.

The rabbit grinned and said, "The main reason is that Dawn Base gave us an extra 20,000."

In addition to that batch of supplies, there will be extra rewards from the base when we return.

The exact amount will only be known after all the goods have been transported back and the base has calculated it.

Xie Tu found a folding stool and sat down. He said to Yun Zhao, "This is a rare opportunity. If the reward is less in the future, I will feel a sense of loss."

I've already earned so many points on my first mission.

If she only gets the minimum reward next time, which is only two or three thousand points, the difference will be too great, and I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it.

Yun Zhao's thoughts were no longer on that, and he subconsciously replied, "I know."

It doesn't matter if it's less, she can still take on side jobs.

Thinking of this.

Yun Zhao stood up and told them, "Captain, I'm going next door to collect a debt."

Xie Tu nodded, "Go ahead."

The temporary camps of the two bases are right next to each other.

There were many people outside, and the sentries were busy moving supplies and loading them onto trucks to be transported back to their respective bases.

The military trucks that the reinforcements brought had extremely large cargo beds, and the subsequent trucks sent by the base were mostly of this type, suitable for transporting supplies.

The sentries running back and forth were all very excited and worked very efficiently.

They saw many foods they had never eaten before.

Everyone has received the message.

Some foods cannot be kept for long, so we will provide everyone with an extra meal tonight.

"Wow, so many snacks... Can I buy them with points?"

One of the sentries said, "My daughter's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to buy some things to take back as a birthday present for her."

"I heard that Team Jiang and Team Xie negotiated and agreed that the construction equipment and blueprints they brought back would belong to us, while the snacks would go to the Shuguang Base. I'll go ask them later."

Dawn Base is preparing to build houses on the ground.

They have always lived deep underground, never seeing sunlight. Since the end of the Dark Ages, many people have wanted to move to the surface.

In previous years, conditions were tough, and I didn't have the energy for it.

The situation has improved in the last two years, and the base plans to start construction soon.

Everyone was happy to hear the news. Although they didn't know when it would be completed, at least they had something to look forward to.

The sentries, with their keen senses, were talking when they noticed the slender figure appear. They instinctively stopped talking and made way for her.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat quiet.

The sentries at both Dawn Base and Sunrise Base all had shifty eyes, secretly glancing at her curiously out of the corner of their eyes.

This is an S-class guide.

It is said that Captain Jiang has undergone psychological counseling, the dark matter in his mental realm has been cleared away, his condition is stable, and his combat power is even greater than before.

When the higher-ups heard the news, they couldn't stop smiling.

They exclaimed that spending 20,000 points was totally worth it!

Yun Zhao remained calm, seemingly unaware of their gazes, but her pace quickened involuntarily.

The little bluebird appeared, perched on her head, flapped its wings, and glared back at her one by one!

What are you looking at! Get lost!

The sentries awkwardly touched their noses.

They meant no harm; they were simply curious.

*

After spending more than a month inside, Jiang Mu's team felt even more out of place when they came out.

When Yun Zhao arrived, Jiang Mu was lying in the armored vehicle, enjoying the cold wind.

The weather was hot, and the tent was stuffy and hot. There was no ice or air conditioning, so staying in the car was the most comfortable.

In contrast to the busy Xie Tu, he was quite leisurely.

They saw the debt collectors arriving.

Jiang Mu opened the car door with a helpless expression, "I'm not going to run away, do you have to be in such a hurry..."

Yun Zhao raised the communicator on his wrist. "It's urgent. We need to go back tonight."

"So fast?"

Jiang Mu was somewhat surprised, "There's still a lot to come..."

Yun Zhao said, "There's nothing we can do. Our captain is too capable. He has handed over all the follow-up matters clearly, and everyone wants to go back and rest as soon as possible."

Jiang Mu: "..."

He opened the car door and got out, walking towards the camp. He gestured for Yun Zhao to follow, saying, "I'll settle the bill for you right away, but there's still gray fog and dark matter in Xiao Qizi's domain, so I might need to trouble you a bit."

"There are also two sentries who need your help with psychological counseling. Don't worry, the payment will be settled together."

Deputy Zhao wanted to ask Yun Zhao for help yesterday, but Jiang Mu stopped him.

The guide needs rest; a day later won't be a problem.

“No problem,” Yun Zhao readily agreed.

Once we get back, the price for diverting traffic from the same base might not be so high.

Apart from the lead combat units, the other sentries couldn't afford to accumulate that many points.

Opportunities don't come often, so take advantage of this time to earn some extra money.

Yun Zhao followed him into the Dawn Base camp.

This time, the passing sentries kept their eyes straight ahead, not giving the little bluebird a chance to curse them.

"Pfft—"

The little bluebird raised its noble head, glanced at them sideways, and made a sound that sounded like mockery.

Sentinels: "..."

Yun Zhao patted it gently, feeling helpless at its behavior of attracting hatred for him everywhere.

Inside the tent.

With his baby face and expressive face, Zhou Tianqi lay on his cot ordering his teammates around, "Orange, I feel terrible, quickly open a bottle of yogurt for me..."

Orange picked up a folding stool and threw it at him.

"Damn! You're better suited to be a bot!"

Zhou Tianqi nimbly flipped over to dodge, "I'm not lying to you, I'm really in pain, why is there so much gray fog in my mental realm..."

His black panther didn't want to go back and lay listlessly by the bed.

The base's guides can only clear out dark matter.

They had carried out so many missions, and they had never encountered a situation where the swirling gray fog could seep into the spiritual realm.
