Chapter 316 Returning Home
When Wang Qirui found Wang Rongke, Wang Rongke was carefully sharpening an iron spear. The spear was covered with rust and looked a bit old. The tip of the spear was also blunt. Wang Rongke lovingly wrapped torn strips of cloth around the spear and used a stone to sharpen the blunt tip of the spear.
Wang Qirui asked Wang Rongke directly whether he wanted to return to his hometown in Wuling?
Wang Rongke looks a few years older than Wang Qirui and has a calm temperament. His parents, wife and children are all in Wuling, and the other people in the team are in a similar situation. Of course, they want to go home.
"We only dare to move around the safe zone now and don't have the strength to return to our hometown." Looking at the weapon on Wang Qirui's side, Wang Rongke said somewhat dejectedly.
"The mercenary team that came yesterday is heading to the capital. They should pass by our hometown. Then we can follow them and return home." Wang Qirui's hometown is a village under a county town under the jurisdiction of Wuling. It is quite far away from the Wuling safety zone. The rescue team sent by the Wuling Military Region may not cover the area of his hometown, but their county town also has an armed department, and their village is not far from the county town. The villagers should flee to the county town.
Wang Qirui planned to go home first, and after seeing his family, he would decide what to do next.
According to Che Miaomiao's previous introduction, most of the people in this team were from near their county town, and they gathered together in the first place because they wanted to return home together.
"Before, there were fellow villagers who followed the large army out of the city, but they came back not long after they went out. The large army in front didn't care about the lives of those behind. Those people suffered heavy casualties and didn't dare to follow." Wang Rongke said with a wry smile.
"The large army in front has already traversed the road, so why are the troops behind suffering heavy casualties?" Wang Qirui asked curiously.
"So what if we pass through it once? There will still be sporadic monsters attacking the team behind us." Wang Rongke said as a matter of course.
"Have you never killed a monster?" Wang Qirui asked with a frown.
"My sister and I once teamed up to kill a wounded monster and got two iron spears in return. We encountered it a few more times later. When we could defeat it, the monster ran away, and when we couldn't, we ran away. We haven't gained anything for a long time! As for the others, they don't even have any decent weapons in their hands. When they see a monster, they can only run away, let alone dare to kill it!" Wang Rongke said helplessly.
"The weapons in the safe zone are so cheap, why don't you buy a few?" Wang Qirui asked puzzledly.
"We work hard all day and can just make ends meet. Good weapons are too expensive to buy. The cheap weapons that the government allows to rent are of unreliable quality. Sometimes they even break inexplicably when fighting monsters. Who dares to use such weapons? It is better to save more money and buy a good quality weapon." The tip of the gun in Wang Rongke's hand has been polished to a shiny shine, and it looks cold and bright, obviously of good quality.
"If I can provide each of you with a weapon like this, would you be willing to go back to my hometown with me?" Wang Qirui said, pointing at the gun in Wang Rongke's hand.
"Are you serious?" Wang Rongke raised his head and asked seriously.
"Of course it's true. When the time comes, we will leave with the mercenary convoy coming from the capital. There will be many people in the civilian team following us. We can just set up camp together with everyone. There won't be much danger." Wang Qirui encouraged.
"If you can really get more than 20 such weapons, everyone will definitely be willing to leave Xitang together." Wang Rongke said excitedly.
"A weapon like this costs more than thirty work points. How can you produce more than twenty of them?" Wang Rongke looked at him suspiciously.
“Tomorrow morning, take a few people to this place to find me.” Wang Qirui left an address for Wang Rongke and left.
Now that he knew that Wang Rongke and his men were willing to return home, he wanted to go back and see how many weapons he could exchange for the supplies he had been allocated.
When Wang Qirui went back, Jiang Jie and his men were counting public supplies. In the past two months, their food source has been local materials, wild vegetables and fruits, as well as hunted monsters. Before setting off, they had stored about half of the food they had before, rice, flour and beans. Rice was packed in ten-kilogram bags, flour was packed in fifty-kilogram bags, and a bag of round soybeans weighed seventy to eighty kilograms. In addition, there were smoked meat, dried vegetables and dried fruits that everyone had dried together in Chongzhou. These were the main foods in the public supplies.
The treasures that drop from collective monster hunting are distributed promptly according to each person's contribution and kept by each person.
When they set out from Chongzhou, each of them drove a car. The car driven by Jiang Jie burned on the way, and the car driven by Cui Lie was scrapped while blocking the enemy. However, Cui Lie robbed a military vehicle at that time, so there were still five cars left in their team. Only Cui Lie and Rong Xianxian knew about the armored vehicles and tanks that Rong Xianxian had exchanged in Xiangshan Town, while no one else knew about it.
Finally, the supplies Wang Qirui was allocated included two bags of rice, two bags of flour, a bag of soybeans, a large box full of smoked meat, dried fruits and vegetables, about 200 kilograms, instant noodles and eight-treasure porridge, some snacks such as biscuits, clothes bought in the Taijing Safety Zone, some daily necessities, the three weapons he had used before, two sets of leather armor, a rifle and a pistol given to him by Rong Xianxian, the off-road vehicle he drove, and three barrels of 50-liter gasoline.
The gasoline was seized from the gang that robbed and killed them outside Binyang City. How much gasoline did Rong Xianxian have? No one else knew except Rong Xianxian herself.
In addition to the above-mentioned items, Wang Qirui also got a share of the scattered materials from the monsters hunted by the group. Due to the large quantity, it was difficult for Wang Qirui to carry them, so he was given 300 work points based on the purchase price of monster materials in Xitang.
If Rong Xianxian did not have the space item in her hands, they would have nowhere to store the monster materials they had accumulated, let alone carry them. Originally, everyone tacitly accepted that these monster materials belonged to Rong Xianxian, and Wang Qirui had not expected that he would be given a share now.
Up to now, everyone knows that Rong Xianxian has space items in her hands, and these large quantities of public supplies are also stored in Rong Xianxian, but they don’t know what such space items are. The sachet is carried with her and is inconspicuous. The domain stone is connected to Rong Xianxian’s mind. Within a certain range, Rong Xianxian can use it through mental communication. She can even control the movement of the domain stone. The domain stone is placed in the off-road RV, and no one knows its exact location.
