In fact, Dang Liantao knew that he and Shan Changxu were not suitable to go down together, while Wang Zheng was indeed the most suitable person to go down and explore.
But this kid is a newbie on a mission, so we can't just give him the most dangerous tasks.
But upon hearing Wang Zheng say such enlightened words, they immediately held him in even higher regard.
Then Dang Liantao said to Wang Zheng with a serious expression, "You need to understand, something is clearly wrong here. These rats are very likely the culprits behind the reported attacks on farmland, and now they may also be connected to the Heavenly Demon. You're still young, and this is your first time..."
Wang Zheng quickly interrupted him.
"But I'm a soldier too, aren't I, Lieutenant Wang Zheng?"
At this point, all three of them laughed.
Dang Liantao added, "I'll recommend you for credit when we get back from this mission. You single-handedly held off so many crazed rats and were the first to notice the deliveryman's unusual behavior. You deserve the most credit this time, and all my contribution points will be yours."
Wang Zheng was stunned when he heard this.
Thinking that Wang Zheng was going to refuse, Shan Changxu quickly added, "Indeed, I don't want it either. You and Xiaoyu can have it all. Anyway, I, Lao Shan, don't have a wife, and I can't even spend all my salary every month. Xiaoyu has also saved so many brothers."
Actually, Wang Zheng wasn't trying to refuse; he was stunned because he had no idea that missions earned contribution points and that he received a salary regularly.
He swallowed hard and cautiously probed, "Do we get contribution points for going on missions?"
Both of them nodded.
"Do I still receive a salary? Or contribution points?"
The two nodded again.
Wang Zheng was overjoyed: "Why didn't anyone tell me? I've been in the army for almost two months now, how come I haven't received anything?"
Now that he's seeing the benefits, he no longer complains about having joined the army before he met Dang Liantao and Old Gu; he just talks about serving for two months.
Although Dang Liantao was impressed by Wang Zheng's quick thinking, he also explained, "Your contribution points are naturally recorded in your file, not money. Do you expect me to open a bank account for you? You can check the exchange counter when you get back."
Wang Zheng was overjoyed.
You should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have been so resistant. I, Wang Zheng, am a god who serves the people!
It was ultimately decided that Dang Liantao and Wang Zheng would continue the investigation to find out the cause of the rat riot.
Having finalized the next course of action, Shan Changxu immediately turned to go back.
As he was leaving, Wang Zheng took out the raincoat he had received from the ring earlier and asked him to take it back and check it.
Anyway, the storage ring around their necks had already been exposed when they transformed, and given their relationship with Elder Gu, it was impossible for them not to recognize the storage ring.
Sure enough, neither of them showed any surprise after Wang Zheng produced the raincoat out of thin air, clearly indicating that they knew Wang Zheng's background.
Then, Shan Changxu quickly disappeared from Wang Zheng's sight.
Looking at Wang Zheng's youthful face, Dang Liantao didn't know what to say. In the end, he sighed deeply and then went down into the manhole.
Wang Zheng quickly stopped him, saying, "Brother Dang, let me go first. If something happens after we go down, be careful when you throw fireballs. I might get hurt, and you might get hurt instead."
Seeing Dang Liantao nod, Wang Zheng chuckled and jumped down.
'Spiritual energy users, here I come! Haha!'
The sewers in Jiangbei were not quite what Wang Zheng had imagined. They were not the narrow pipes he remembered from his previous life. Instead, they were quite spacious, enough for two people to walk side by side. However, the flowing sewage underfoot made it somewhat disgusting.
It wasn't as dark and damp as I had imagined, but there was a lot of garbage in the sewers.
The garbage was rotting and emitted a foul stench, and there were also a few dead rats scattered in the pile.
Wang Zheng took the lead and walked at the very front.
"Brother Dang, is it really this spacious inside?"
“In the past, the southern part of Beijing would experience heavy rains every year, resulting in flooding. Later, it underwent a complete overhaul.”
Wang Zheng nodded without saying anything more. It seemed that this was another difference from his previous life.
The two walked through the dark sewers, with three fireballs surrounding Dang Liantao for illumination, and Wang Zheng occasionally throwing out a beam of holy light to search for them.
Although no more live rats were encountered in the sewers, judging from the marks in the passage, there was no fear of getting lost.
