Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 415 - 259: Reunion (Part 2)

Additionally, bringing Xiaoyueyue can also lower others’ guard.

Once we reach their gathering place, we can use Xiaoyueyue’s age and appearance to gather some intelligence.

"Brother Wu, who are these people..."

Wang Hao found a corner to sit down in, not joining those people.

Wu Xiang also sat next to him.

Wang Hao casually asked.

"They are all elite figures. That old gentleman is an academician in mechanical fields, and some of his family members are here.

The others aren’t bad either."

Wu Xiang leaned towards Wang Hao and whispered:

"Originally, they were in a settlement camp, but the camp was overrun by a zombie tide. These people evacuated early and were then attacked by monsters.

They got scattered, and we sent out many rescue teams to search for these experts."

"Oh! I see."

Wang Hao nodded, which matched his expectations.

Even though it’s the apocalypse now, technological civilization is still quite formidable.

Some specialized experts are useless, but experts in biopharmaceuticals and mechanical engineering are what every settlement camp and gathering place is vying for.

"Is your gathering place far from here?"

Wang Hao didn’t dwell on this topic.

He’s not interested in that.

He already has plenty of experts where he is, so he doesn’t lack that caliber of people.

"Not far at all, it’s about five kilometers away in Yunxi Town."

Wu Xiang’s eyes flickered as he began to boast about his gathering place:

"Our gathering place is abundantly supplied with resources; we lack for nothing. The current mayor was previously a chairman of a Fortune 500 company.

They were fully prepared before the apocalypse and entered a shelter on time. I seriously suspect they got the information in advance."

"Hiss——"

Wang Hao took a sharp breath.

Yunxi Town?

Fortune 500 chairman?

Shelter?

This.....

This isn’t just a probable guess; this must definitely be Chen Lingxue’s family!

Such luck.

Saves him a lot of trouble.

Once at the gathering place, he’ll check things out, and after that charming man investigates the place mentioned in the hints, he can then discuss cooperation with Chen Lingxue.

With firearms, and weapons made from Crystal Stones.

Chen Lingxue and her group are very likely collaborating with the Hui Province official settlement camp.

By then, a tri-party cooperation to take down a small gathering place wouldn’t be a big problem.

...

S City, Yunxi Town

This place is considered very rural.

Unlike the rural areas of Su Jing, here it’s sparsely populated with vast lands.

Yunxi Town’s main industry is large-scale sweet potato cultivation, with the fields filled with them.

Residents of the town usually work outside, only returning during the busy farming season.

The town has mountains and water, and the environment is quite nice.

Now, it is surrounded by walls, with guards on duty, and many barricading devices outside.

The defense looks quite strong.

As they were nearing Yunxi Town, Wu Xiang quickly left the group to verify information with the guards.

Only then did the guards open the gate.

A few people in protective gear came up, intending to take everyone for decontamination and conduct a series of tests.

After confirming no infections, they would still need to be isolated for a day before being released.

Wang Hao couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

This process is something every gathering place would have.

They were able to enter the First Settlement Camp previously because Bai Muran used money.

"Brother Wu!"

Wang Hao looked at Wu Xiang and asked softly:

"Is there a way to skip this examination?"

"Ah? This...."

Wu Xiang was in a bit of a bind.

He’s just a rescue team leader, and while he holds some status, he’s not a Superpower User. He can’t help Wang Hao avoid this routine examination!

Even he has to undergo the examination and be isolated for a day too.

Wang Hao took out a second-level Crystal Stone and handed it to him.

Wu Xiang’s eyes lit up.

Those venturing outside can acquire Crystal Stones too.

During a previous zombie tide defense, they killed several Heart-Eating Ghosts. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

But these Crystal Stones are for exchanging equipment.

The shelter only provided them with guns and limited bullets.

Weapons made from Crystal Stones and more bullets have to be bought personally.

Moreover, compensation is needed for the families of deceased warriors.

Improvement of life thereafter is also necessary, offering a Crystal Stone as a bribe just to skip a routine check.

They couldn’t afford such an expenditure.

"Is it enough?"

Wang Hao asked somewhat uncertainly.

He didn’t know the cost of living here.

"It’s not that much."

Wu Xiang glanced at Xiaoyueyue and then at Wang Hao:

"Younger Brother Wang, you don’t want to be separated from Xiaoyueyue, and you don’t want to be inspected by others, right?"

"Yeah! We haven’t been bitten; my sister is still young and can’t handle such rough examination."

Wang Hao nodded in agreement.

"Then just spend ten crystal coins for a private isolation room; it has everything, and a dedicated nurse will come for inspections. If all’s clear in a day, you’ll be released.

It’s all just formalities anyway."

Wu Xiang said while handing back the Crystal Stone.

"Keep it; please help me arrange it, Brother Wu."

Wang Hao smiled and pushed it back.

It’s not right to expect help without compensation, right?

He didn’t mind such a Crystal Stone.

"Haha, then I won’t be polite. I knew it, Younger Brother Wang! You’re quite capable."

Wu Xiang laughed heartily, accepted the Crystal Stone, and ran over to discuss with someone.

Soon, a pretty young lady approached and bowed slightly towards Wang Hao.
