After traveling and stopping frequently, they finally arrived at the survivor base in City E.

After the five-person team delivered them, they took photos, uploaded them, and finally clicked "Submit Task." The task page then displayed "[Verifying]".

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe got out of the car to stretch and loosen up, their bones cracking as they did so.

Rona wrapped her long coat tighter around her. "Ugh, it's so cold. Do you guys think I should buy a mink coat after I get my points? I saw one last time, a mutated mink coat, fiery red, and it even has cold-proof properties."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe showed no impatience, and after listening, they gave their opinions seriously: "Buy it!" "If you like it, just buy it! What's the point of making money? Isn't it for spending? Buy, buy, buy! Sister Nana, I support you!"

Huo Ling led Lin Shuangshuang to say goodbye to Brother Xiaotian. Their truck had already gone to weigh and unload the goods, and they would have to walk the rest of the way on their own.

The team's mission doesn't include the return trip, and Big Brother and his group will be visiting the base in City E for a few days, arranged by their superiors. Apparently, an official reception team will be there to personally escort Big Brother Xiaotian and his group back to their village.

"Congratulations."

Huo Ling offered his congratulations.

After all, being appreciated by the authorities means their village will get better and better.

Brother Xiaotian also showed a simple and honest smile, "Thank you, thank you. Now that we've connected with the authorities, we won't have to worry about supplies in our village anymore."

Otherwise, it's very troublesome to buy or exchange supplies these days.

Brother Xiaotian pulled out a pack of cigarettes and shoved it at Huo Ling, saying, "The staff just gave these to me, want one? I've forgotten when I last smoked."

He shook his head after he finished speaking.

This world...

Huo Ling declined, saying, "I've given it up." Then she asked for his contact information, saying, "If I need any vegetables in the future, I'll contact you directly."

Brother Xiaotian was eager to get to know them. He had already witnessed the strength of the five of them. In this day and age, having more friends means having more options, and no one can have too many friends.

The two sides parted amicably.

Brother Xiaotian led the people of his village away with the official staff.

Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang's bracelets also beeped at the same time, their points had been credited to their accounts! Since they were already here, they definitely had to make a purchase.

The three of them, including Lorna, immediately beamed with joy and headed straight for the self-service vending machine.

"Here comes my mink coat!"

"I'm going to buy some games this time to pass the time back in the little castle."

"I want to buy some warm clothing."

Lin Shuangshuang looked around. She had no memory of this place, only the notes in her memo recorded that she had been here before.

Although it only happened once.

Rona and the others came once more than I did. Why didn't they come last time?

Because she can't get up.

Why can't I get up?!

Then I can't say.

But Lin Shuangshuang felt a sense of familiarity, "I feel like I've really been here before."

Huo Ling said, "It's not just a feeling, it's that we've definitely been here. Lin Shuangshuang, stay close."

He seemed very afraid that she would run away.

Lin Shuangshuang took his hand and said obediently, "Okay."

Huo Ling turned to look at her and suddenly choked up. But it was a lucky coincidence. He held her hand tightly and led her toward the self-service vending building.

"You can choose what you want to buy this time. Buy whatever you like."

Lin Shuangshuang blurted out, "I like you the most!" She couldn't help but laugh.

Huo Ling coughed and tapped her on the head. "Smooth-tongued, where did you learn that?"

Lin Shuangshuang pouted and said, "I didn't learn it from anyone." She muttered under her breath.

Four million points.

The points are split equally among seven people, and each person can get over 570,000 points.

Rona really did buy mink coats, and also bought new socks for her teammates as gifts. Apart from that, she spent the rest of her money on food.

Gao Lei also balanced food and cold-weather gear equally, with the latter being more suitable for outdoor combat, such as thick tents and windproof stoves.

Wu Zhe also bought a game console, the kind that can play multiplayer games. He said that spiritual nourishment is also very important. He also bought novels for Luo Na, lip balm for Lin Shuangshuang and Huo Ling, a hat for Gao Lei, disinfectant for Zhao Pingsheng, and new goggles for Zhang Dapeng.

Despite being the youngest, he cares deeply about his older brothers and sisters.

Huo Ling bought Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng the things they needed, then bought Lin Shuangshuang a new hair accessory, and bought S-level safety helmets for all his teammates, which would come in handy when they went out to fight.

I used the rest of the money to buy ingredients for making desserts, and this time I also bought egg tart shells.

Lin Shuangshuang looked around and bought a large basket of eggs, the kind you find in wholesale markets, with 360 eggs in each basket.

I used the remaining points to buy medicine.

While food is no longer in short supply, the shortage of medicine is more significant.

All four million points have been spent again.

Wu Zhe wailed, "The government makes money and spends it all; don't even think about taking a single penny home."

Lorna, on the other hand, had a good attitude: "These days are unstable. Do you think you can accumulate points? The smartest thing to do is to convert them into goods as soon as possible."

Gao Lei also agreed with this view.

Huo Ling went even further, saying, "Is it even necessary to accumulate these points?"

Hit the nail on the head.

Instead of saving this up, it's better to take on a big, high-paying task later.

Lorna and the other two exclaimed, "That makes so much sense!!" They instantly felt no guilt whatsoever.

Lin Shuangshuang went on a shopping spree, thoroughly enjoying herself. She loved seeing the goods coming in, and this kind of life had become somewhat addictive for her.

so good.

The little monster felt a warm glow in its heart and no longer felt empty inside.

They didn't linger after buying their things.

But just as they were about to leave City E, they ran into a strange squad.

Seven or eight people.

They were a fairly well-dressed combat team, but their gazes were extremely unfriendly, and they kept staring intently at the five of them.

Lin Shuangshuang immediately looked back alertly.

Huo Ling put his hand on Lin Shuangshuang's shoulder and pulled her to his side. As a psychic, his senses were very strong, so he naturally heard their conversation. It turned out that they held a grudge against him.

"It's them."

"right."

"So they stole our mission? Little Liuzi isn't mistaken, is he?"

One of the shorter young men nodded, "I'm not mistaken."

Their captain's eyes darkened. "Damn, it was only two seconds away, and they snatched it. Why are they so greedy? Who are these five unlucky bastards? They're disgusting."

"Captain, I checked their profile on the order-taking app. It's an unknown team, and they haven't taken on many missions."

"Tch, just five people. Our team has twenty-eight teammates. Each of them could kill them with a single punch. According to their stats, they're all only at the fourth tier. That's what people who've dealt with them online say."

"Very good, I'll remember that. If it weren't for the official base forbidding me from taking action..."

The man called captain gave a sinister smirk; a large scar covered his face.

Lin Shuangshuang's gaze was deep. Her five senses were very strong, and her sixth sense was invincible. She knew that these people had ill intentions and was prepared to make her move in advance.

She was seriously considering how to secretly get rid of them.
