“We didn’t see anyone coming, we watched the surrounding zombies leave before we mustered the courage to walk out… We lost three people on the way, and finally, we made it to our base, sob sob…
In the lobby downstairs, a gaunt and sallow survivor began to speak amidst sobs and tears.
“I’ll take you to get something to eat first.”
A staff member gestured with a wave of her hand.
“Thankyou so much!”
The four survivors immediately followed.
After they left, Wei Zhenguo furrowed his brow.
“Old Song was supposed to lead the rescue team for them! But they say Old Song never showed up… These people don’t seem to be lying either. Did they take a wrong turn? Or did something happen that trapped them?”
Ren Jie’s expression seemed grim.
“We… must prepare for the worst.”
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone had been in high spirits with the addition of Wang Tao, an Ability User, to their group. But now with Song Jinghong’s problem, that joy immediately vanished from their hearts.
“Old Song, you can’t be in trouble…”
Feng Ming’an’s face turned bitter; he had the best relationship with Song
Jinghong.
Wei Zhenguo thought for a moment and said:
“Ah, let’s wait one more day. If there’s still no news, we’ll send someone to check… For now, let’s get Wang Tao’s matter settled first.”
“Okay.”
The next day, everyone in the base received a notice.
Shuize Base Committee had added a new member named Wang Tao. There would be a meeting in the afternoon for everyone to get acquainted with him. Most people didn’t know much about Wang Tao and were somewhat puzzled. However, some were surprised; hadn’t WangTao just arrived at the base. And now he was immediately a committee member?
Of course, whether they were puzzled or not, such decisions were not theirs to make They just needed to familiarize themselves with the new committee member so as not to make a fool of themselves in future encounters.
In the afternoon, outside the comprehensive building, in the plaza, all survivors of the base who weren’t on guard duty or out on missions gathered.
After Ren Jie gave everyone a motivational speech, Wang Tao took the stage and presented himself.
There was no denying the fact that Wang Tao commanded a presence that none of the other committee members could match, just by standing there.
Especially given his new status as a committee member, the glint in the female survivors’ eyes was almost as bright as if they were lighting up like light bulbs. Below the stage, Huo Ziyi felt both joy and worry. She was happy because her judgment had been correct, Wang Tao indeed had great potential. But her concern stemmed from the fact that it hadn’t been long since she had a conversation with Wang Tao, and now she felt as though she could no longer speak with him… She was anxious, eager to cling to Wang Tao, a strong support, but the gap in their status was growing ever wider…
Han Rui looked at Wang Tao on the stage, somewhat surprised but not entirely. After all, she had seen how strong Wang Tao’s abilities were, and as an Ability User, it was no surprise he became a committee member. She felt happy for
Wang Tao.
Sun Weiguang, standing beside her, looked at WangTao with a face full of envy.
“Wife, can’t you find a way to get me a job? You are a minister, after all
Sun Weiguang asked, somewhat discontent.
Hearing this, Han Rui replied with some helplessness:
“Wei Guang, it’s not like the peaceful times anymore. How many people do we have in our base? My so-called ministerial position is just a title; I only have two people under me. Besides, the positions at our base are like carrots in holes, I neither have the power nor the possibility to arrange one for you. Just work honestly. Isn’t it good that you’re safe and have food as long as you work in the base?”
“Fine, fine, fine!”
Sun Weiguang was tired of hearing that kind of talk.
He felt Han Rui had changed. Ever since they arrived at Shuize Base and she became the head of the arbitration department, she wasn’t the Han Rui he used to know.
The old Han Rui, although very determined, would also yield to him in many matters, unlike now, where she outright refused him.
Sun Weiguang remembered clearly that Han Rui’s old boss was named Song Jinghong, and there was a committee member in the base with the same name. It was obviously the same person!
If not for this Song Jinghong, Han Rui wouldn’t be some minister! If she could pull strings for herself, couldn’t she also find a way for him to benefit as well. Sun Weiguang glanced at Han Rui, then at Ou Yingying beside him, and suddenly he had an alarming thought.
“She couldn’t have found out about my relationship with Ou Yingying, could she…”
Sun Weiguang’s face became troubled; he really didn’t want to end his relationship with Ou Yingying!
Even though both in looks and capability Han Rui was much better than Ou Yingying, theoretically, he should like Han Rui more.
But Ou Yingying was so sweet with her words!
When he was with Han Rui, he always felt overshadowed by her. She never complimented him like Ou Yingying did.
Ou Yingying always found ways to praise him; sometimes he himself was unaware of so many virtues he possessed.
With Ou Yingying, he regained a man’s confidence!
His relationship with Ou Yingying had gone beyond the physical; they were completely entwined in both body and soul!
Just sitting together and listening to Ou Yingying talk was enough to make him feel content.
This kind of feeling was something he could never get with Han Rui!
Not to mention, when his life was in danger, it was Ou Yingying who stayed by his side, while Han Rui had come to the base to enjoy herself earlier…
