Chapter 89 Stop whining and nagging
Meng Shiwan and his group drove into the base and stopped in front of the points office.
Tao Yarong drove the truck into the checkpoint at the entrance of the office.
As soon as she got out of the driver's seat, she saw a man smiling and approaching her.
"Hello, hello, I am Gao Leiyang, the head of the points office. Welcome back to your team safely."
As he spoke, he extended his hand to shake hands.
Tao Yarong greeted the other person with a blank expression.
Seeing that the other person was sweating profusely, his smile remained as warm and enthusiastic as ever.
She even smiled in a slightly obsequious way, as if she were some important person.
Although Tao Yarong is a person with superpowers, ordinary people would envy her.
But in all her time in the rescue team, no leader had ever treated them with such warmth.
She wondered if it was because she was now following her sister that these people respected her because her sister was so powerful.
That doesn't justify fawning over a junior team member like her.
You should fawn over your sister.
Tao Yarong looked puzzled, but responded to the other party's enthusiasm, walked to the back of the car, and opened the back door.
The carriage was filled with supplies, some of which fell to the ground with a clatter as the doors opened.
The outermost layer contains some snacks and the like.
This is a snack shop that Tao Yarong asked Meng Shiwan to help her acquire.
Snacks fell to the ground, revealing boxes of neatly arranged medicines inside.
Several boxes tilted over, spilling the medicine inside, and Gao Leiyang's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Medicines, precious supplies.
He stared intently at Tao Yarong, waiting for her next move.
Tao Yarong felt uneasy under his gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gao Leiyang is a man who wears glasses and has a slight beer belly.
He slapped his forehead, sweat dripping down his face. "Look at my memory! Meng Shiwan has spatial abilities, right? The remaining supplies must be with her, otherwise transporting them back would have been really difficult."
At that moment, Tao Yarong's mind went blank; she suddenly realized what this person was up to.
The news of Meng Shiwan's multiple superpowers has probably spread among these leaders.
The news that she was clearing out zombies and collecting a lot of medical supplies at the central hospital was being watched by many survivors, and it certainly couldn't be kept secret.
The central hospital has advanced medical equipment and more comprehensive drug storage.
Such a large quantity of medical supplies would even tempt the base.
Unfortunately, the rescue team's mission for the three was to rescue water-based ability users and survivors, and transporting medical supplies was not included in the task.
They naturally couldn't use this as an excuse to ask Tao Yarong and the other two for it.
Meng Shiwan wasn't part of any department, wasn't under the base's jurisdiction, and there was no way to ask her for anything.
So, there's only one way for them to get these medical supplies.
The idea is that Meng Shiwan can get the points office to sell, and they can buy it back at a high price using points, a win-win situation.
Gao Leiyang, the head of the points office, came here to keep watch and was extremely enthusiastic towards Tao Yarong.
At this moment, Meng Shiwan and the others parked their car on the side of the road and came over to see the two staring at each other.
Meng Shiwan asked, "Why isn't there a reckoning?"
Gao Leiyang immediately showered Meng Shiwan with flattery upon seeing her.
"Hello, hello, I am Gao Leiyang, the head of the points office. You must be Meng Shiwan. You are truly beautiful and capable, which is enviable."
Meng Shiwan: ? ? ?
"So, why not settle accounts?"
Whether she's good-looking or strong has nothing to do with them clearing out supplies and exchanging them for points.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem inclined to take out medical supplies, Gao Leiyang subtly reminded them, "These supplies, aren't they...?"
Meng Shiwan suddenly realized, "There is a problem. Look at my memory."
Gao Leiyang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Meng Shiwan as if she were a living Bodhisattva.
He quickly waved to the employees not far away, telling them to get ready.
As soon as Meng Shiwan took out the medical supplies, she immediately put the medicines that required low temperatures into the refrigerator and sent them for preservation.
However, he saw Meng Shiwan's hand on the boxes inside the truck, and those stacks of medicine boxes suddenly disappeared.
Meng Shiwan laughed and said, "Now there are no problems, let's settle the accounts."
Gao Leiyang: !!!
He froze on the spot, his neck stiff as he stared at the open space.
There were no large quantities of supplies, and even the medicine inside the truck had disappeared.
He forced an awkward smile. "Miss Meng, you're quite the joker."
Meng Shiwan suppressed her smile slightly. "Who's joking with you? Hurry up and inspect it. Don't waste time. Also, we're not selling the snacks, only the precious metals inside."
Seeing that Meng Shiwan really didn't intend to offer medical supplies, Gao Leiyang simply asked, "Miss Meng, aren't you going to sell the batch of medical supplies from the Central Hospital?"
Meng Shiwan glanced at him and said, "It's none of your business whether I sell or not. Just mind your own business."
Gao Leiyang: ...
"That batch of medical supplies is very important to the base. With those supplies, we can save more survivors, which is a good thing, right?"
Meng Shiwan looked at him like he was an idiot. "So?"
Gao Leiyang: ...
"So if you sell that batch of supplies, you can save more survivors. I can give you a price that's 20% higher."
Meng Shiwan scoffed, "What do those survivors have to do with me?"
Gao Leiyang looked bewildered, feeling that Meng Shiwan's questions were jumping around so fast that he couldn't keep up.
He answered sincerely, "It doesn't matter."
Meng Shiwan shrugged. "That's terrible. What do their lives have to do with me? I won't sell that batch of medical supplies."
Gao Leiyang had never seen anyone so arrogant and direct. "But..."
Meng Shiwan said impatiently, "Stop babbling and get to the cleanup. If you're going to be so slow and inefficient here, we can go to another base. There are always places that are efficient."
Gao Leiyang felt like vomiting blood.
How can there be such a difficult person to talk to?
Before he could say anything, he was about to go to another base.
If a big shot like Meng Shiwan really took this batch of medical supplies to other bases...
The entire leadership of the base must be so angry they'd vomit blood.
He dared not say anything more and quickly ordered people to clean up the precious metal jewelry in the carriage.
As for that batch of medical supplies, let's discuss it further later.
Gao Leiyang called over the staff to clean up.
Tao Yarong watched from the side, taking out her phone to record.
There are several boxes with names written on them. Remember how many points you can exchange for them. When the jewelry store owner comes looking for you, you need to give them half of the points.
Su Su silently gave Meng Shiwan a thumbs up, "Only someone like me can handle this kind of cunning old fox in the workplace."
Meng Shiwan smiled but remained silent.
Are they really afraid she'll leave the base?
Compared to that, they cared more about her value.
Given that there are very few dual-elemental ability users, why does she possess eight-elemental abilities?
When all other superpowers were still low-level, why was she already at level five?
The base must have investigated her and must know that she did not have any superpowers in the first few days of the apocalypse.
Why did he suddenly awaken so many superpowers and become so strong? What happened in between, and how did he do it?
Those people will inevitably continue to observe and study.
Meng Shiwan didn't care about any of these things, as long as they weren't disturbed in front of her.
With an RV that grants immunity to all damage, and the ability to teleport back to the RV, she's fearless no matter the situation.
"Sis, the points are calculated, come quickly."
Tao Yarong was waving, and judging from her excited expression, she had quite a few points.
Meng Shiwan walked over, and Tao Yarong handed her a piece of paper with a stamp on it, showing the total points.
A total of 580,000.
They raided so many gold shops and got 580,000 points in return, which seems pretty good.
Meng Shiwan took the certificate to the counter to process the transaction. The staff member was also shocked when they saw the 580,000 points.
Such a large amount of points is rarely seen.
After the staff confirmed that everything was correct, they transferred the points to Meng Shiwan's residence permit.
They had agreed before going to the Central Hospital that all the supplies they obtained would belong to Meng Shiwan.
Tao Yarong and the others had no objection to giving the points to Meng Shiwan.
As Meng Shiwan came out of the lobby, Tao Yarong said, "Sister, we're going to find our families. We're leaving the rescue team, and they're moving out of the family dormitory. A few of us are going to pick them up."
Meng Shiwan nodded, "Go ahead."
Qiu Zhiyi chimed in, "Sister, we need to go find our families too."
The internet is still working, and as long as my family is alive, I can still contact them.
Neither he nor Su Su's family were locals; they were considered outsiders. Their parents had worked hard for many years and bought a house in a suburban area.
Looking back now, I realize that sometimes luck really does play a role.
Because of the lack of money, the house is in the suburbs, and both parents work in the suburbs.
There are fewer zombies in the suburbs, so rescue teams start their operations from there. They feel more at ease when their families arrive at the base early.
Meng Shiwan waved her hand, "Go ahead, I'll let you know the meeting place in the group later."
"Okay, sis, we're off."
They each drove away, and Meng Shiwan finally had some peace and quiet.
She couldn't just sit idle; there was still something else she needed to do.
As she walked to the RV and was about to open the door, a loud shout rang out behind her.
"Sister, it's you! Sister, we meet again! Sister, sister..."
Meng Shiwan: ...
The older sister kept calling out, and she knew who it was without even turning around.
Luckily she was a girl, otherwise he would have been calling her "brother" endlessly.
She turned around and, sure enough, saw a group of familiar faces.
only……
Meng Shiwan looked Zhang Qiang up and down, "Where are your ears?"
Zhang Qiang looks absolutely terrible now, even worse than when he was a zombie carrot.
His left arm is gone, and now his head is bandaged. Judging from the outline, his right ear is also gone.
Why is it that every time she sees him, she seems to be missing a part?
The others around him weren't much better off; they all had injuries of varying degrees, though none were as serious as Zhang Qiang's.
There were far fewer people than the last time I saw them.
Several men were carrying metal items such as doors, windows, and trash cans on homemade trays, presumably to exchange for points.
