No one objected.
After all, Zhao Gang did most of the cleanup work by himself today.
Zhao Gang had no objections and immediately handed over his points card.
Grandma Yin gave him a teasing look; the young man was still quite impatient.
Grandma Yin transferred 3,000 points from her points card. "Okay, check it out."
Zhao Gang entered his fingerprint, and the small points card display screen showed that his Taoyuan Base points account had a balance of three thousand and three contribution points.
"Contribution points?" Zhao Gang looked at Granny Yin in confusion.
Grandma Yin explained, "At Peach Blossom Base, a single account automatically gains one contribution point for every thousand points accumulated."
Before Zhao Gang could react, Meng Lao Er started yelling.
"Good stuff, Brother Gangzi!" Meng Lao Er said enviously, "With contribution points, you can go into the outer city to exchange for important supplies for the Peach Blossom Base."
Zhao Gang: "What important supplies?"
Just as Meng Lao Er was about to speak loudly, Meng Lao Da pulled him back and gave him a warning glare.
After sternly calming his restless younger brother down, Meng the eldest whispered in Zhao Gang's ear:
"Gasoline, batteries, weapons, evolution potions... In short, anything controlled by biotech companies and bases can be easily exchanged for contribution points."
Zhao Xiaoxiu overheard their conversation and was secretly pleased.
Any one of these items would be in high demand; it seems that the contribution points from Peach Blossom Base are indeed a valuable asset.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced at the gate on the other side of the outer wall. Through the half-open crack, she could vaguely see that the inside was brightly lit, with a dazzling array of stalls and a lively atmosphere.
“Dad.” Zhao Xiaoxiu tugged at Zhao Gang’s trouser leg.
Zhao Gang looked down and saw his little cub pointing at the outer gate with his bright, round eyes.
The elderly father immediately received the signal, and ignoring the two Meng brothers who were still talking to him, he bent down, picked up his daughter, and prepared to leave.
"Zhao Gang." Granny Yin suddenly appeared in front of the father and daughter, moving much faster than an ordinary person.
The father and daughter exchanged a glance; it turned out that the leader was a speed-type evolved human.
Compared to the commonplace Power Evolution, which accounts for over 80% of evolutionary paths, Speed Evolution stands out as quite unique.
Seemingly noticing the surprise of the father and daughter, Granny Yin blew away a stray white hair that flew towards her, and said, her breath reeking of alcohol:
"I used to be a long-distance track and field athlete."
He's not good at anything else, but he's fast and has great endurance.
"Zhao Gang, would you be interested in joining our Qinghe Hunting Group?" Granny Yin sincerely extended an invitation.
She said, "If you come, I'll give you the position of deputy commander."
The deputy commander, who was grilling meat for the team members, immediately looked over warily.
Grandma Yin ignored him and looked at Zhao Gang seriously, continuing to offer discounts, "It's dangerous for you to take Xiaoxiu on missions all the time, but it's different if you join the team. We have a dedicated logistics team that can help you take care of the child."
Zhao Gang: "I don't..."
Hey! Gangzi, you're here!
Zhao Gang's refusal was drowned out by another excited male voice.
Today's team leader, Huo Dongfang, ran over with a big smile, waving friendly to Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was in Zhao Gang's arms, as he ran.
Upon approaching, he shoved the old woman aside and excitedly slapped Zhao Gang on the shoulder: "I've been looking for you! Come on, let's go to the team's place for a couple of drinks!"
As she spoke, she winked at Zhao Xiaoxiu, "Want a drink, little one? It's sweet and sour, and really delicious!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu had just opened her mouth to say "thank you" when she was interrupted by Granny Yin.
She finally realized Huo Dongfang's intention and slapped him hard on the back of the head without hesitation.
"What are you doing? Don't you know the rules of the underworld, first come, first served?!"
You think you can steal her away? You're too green, young man!
Huo Dongfang rubbed his head, which was still dazed from the slap, speechless. "Yin, you didn't show any mercy with that slap, did you?"
"You're getting on in years and almost retired, can't you give the opportunity to the younger generation?"
Grandma Yin raised her hand again, her eyes dangerous. "Who are you calling an old woman!"
Huo Dongfang knew how crazy this woman was; she would start a fight at the slightest provocation. He didn't want to argue with her, so he quickly patted his mouth and said, "I admit I misspoke."
Huo Dongfang immediately reached out and pulled Zhao Gang: "Gangzi, come on, let's go have a couple of drinks over there. I have something to tell you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Granny Yin punched him in the chin.
Caught off guard, Huo Dongfang's head was knocked to the side, and he staggered and spun around two and a half times before regaining his balance.
"Are you really crazy?!" Huo Dongfang exclaimed incredulously.
Grandma Yin chuckled and turned to run towards her own campfire.
As he watched her hoist up the rocket launcher and aim it at him with an air of certainty, Huo Dongfang's displeasure gradually turned into shock.
The shock turned into terror.
He was a vision-evolved human, and he clearly saw that Silvera had opened the protective cover on the rocket launcher switch, and a frenzied killing intent surged from her right eye, which was not blocked by the rocket launcher.
"Gangzi, I'll treat you to drinks next time."
After saying that, Huo Dongfang took off running!
"Huo Dongfang, how dare you try to steal my man! Today I'll teach you a lesson about respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"
Silver Granny, carrying a rocket launcher, gave chase and roared in a powerful voice, "Huo Dongfang, you stop right there!"
The father and daughter left behind exchanged a glance and calmly walked towards the outer gate.
Survivors at Hope Base can enter the outer wall of Peach Blossom Base to exchange for supplies.
The prerequisite is that they must have points from Taoyuan Base in their points cards.
After Zhao Gang showed the balance on his points card, the security guard at the gate immediately let him through.
Stepping through the outer gate, the view immediately brightens up.
Candlelight can never compare to incandescent bulbs.
Suddenly transitioning from the warm orange light of the streetlights to the bright white light, Zhao Xiaoxiu rubbed her eyes uncomfortably, and it took her a while to fully open them.
This is the busiest time of day in the night market area under the outer wall, with people coming and going to exchange goods.
The buildings surrounding Taoyuan Base are mainly made of wood, and the night market street is built around the inner city, forming an extremely long circular street.
In the shantytowns on both sides of the street, there were shops selling meat, fruits and vegetables, daily necessities, and all kinds of second-hand goods.
People would occasionally approach the father and daughter on the street and ask if they wanted to buy something nice.
But when asked what good stuff it was, they evaded the question, which seemed unreliable.
Without a local to guide them, Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father could only watch the excitement on the street.
The father and daughter spent over half an hour browsing around before learning from other passersby that the weapons, gasoline, batteries, and evolution potions Meng mentioned could only be purchased at the base's supply depot.
The base's supply depot is open from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
It's already past 10 p.m., and the supply depot has long been closed.
Zhao Xiaoxiu calculated the time and frowned. "Dad, if we go on a mission tomorrow, the supply depot will definitely be closed when we come back."
"Then we won't go tomorrow." After saying that, Zhao Gang stopped in front of a low shed made of wooden planks and plastic sheeting.
