Chapter 323: Chapter 158 Jiang Shixue’s Condition_4
After most of humanity had been infected and mutated, there were plenty of supplies left behind. As long as one was strong enough, it was possible to survive out in the wild.
Just like at the Fish Bay Survivors’ Camp, they had been scavenging the small town for three to four months and were still able to find various supplies…
After bypassing these obstacles, the full view of the Fish Bay Agritainment became visible.
In simple terms, it was a collection of buildings that were neither Western-style nor traditional, but the area was large enough to house many people.
Because it was still raining, the survivors were all inside, with few people outside. The arrival of Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue didn’t attract much attention.
Wang Tao noticed that the lakeside around the Agritainment was fenced off with wire mesh, which made him curious.
“What’s this about?”
The lake was full of water, and the zombies couldn’t get across, so what was the wire mesh for?
“Hey, it’s because the fish in this lake are huge, and they’re very aggressive! Someone was fishing by the lake before, and ended up being dragged in and eaten by the fish. Since then, we put up the wire mesh…”
Yu Wei explained.
Hearing this, Wang Tao’s eyes lit up. Fish that could eat a person—how big could they be!
He felt an urge to try his hand at fishing.
However, since this was someone else’s territory, Wang Tao simply entertained the thought.
When Xu Xiaojun and his group entered, they needed to hand over a certain proportion of supplies—the rule of their camp. Therefore, people who went out to scavenge had to contribute their findings.
After all, only they had the ability to go out. If they didn’t contribute to the camp, the others inside wouldn’t be able to survive.
Of course, contributions came with rewards. Those capable of venturing out had a superior status in the camp, with ordinary people serving them.
As for the specific proportion of contributions, it depended on the team, because each expedition was typically undertaken by teams made up of several people.
The base rule was that each team contributed a minimum of 10% and there was no maximum limit. If you were charitable, you could contribute it all.
Yu Wei’s small team would contribute 10%—this was within Wang Tao’s expectations.
But to his surprise, Xu Xiaojun almost handed over all of his supplies!
“Why is Fatty contributing so much?”
Li Yi next to him was also somewhat surprised.
Yu Wei and Tian Peng glanced at Li Yi, with Tian Peng whispering:
“Now you see why we don’t go out with him—anyone who goes out with Fatty becomes part of Fatty’s team, and Fatty’s team is required to contribute 90% of the supplies!”
“Hiss—why is it like this?”
Li Yi was somewhat shocked.
Although he thought Fatty seemed a bit simple-minded, he wasn’t a fool! It was one thing for them to swindle some supplies, but how could the camp demand so much from him! Weren’t they afraid that Fatty would be unwilling?
As if answering his thoughts, Yu Wei explained:
“The contribution proportion is entirely voluntary. We didn’t force him, and no one would dare force him. This was Fatty’s own choice…”
“…”
Wang Tao found Xu Xiaojun to be rather interesting. In these apocalyptic times, was there really someone who only wanted to give without expecting anything in return?
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue naturally didn’t need to contribute supplies, unless they decided to become permanent residents of Fish Bay Camp.
Once the supplies were sorted, Yu Wei and the others went off to find a doctor for treatment. There was a doctor within Fish Bay Camp, but you had to provide a certain amount of supplies for each treatment, and there was no guarantee of being cured.
As the trio left, Wang Tao overheard them quietly talking about something to do with a Red Crystal Core.
Wang Tao’s brow raised, hoping these guys weren’t looking for trouble. Although he didn’t need that Crystal Core, that didn’t mean he was willing to hand it over for nothing.
“Brother Wang, I—I’ll take you inside! They’re—all inside…”
Xu Xiaojun pointed towards a large gate within the complex.
“Okay.”
Wang Tao nodded, following Xu Xiaojun through the gate.
Whoosh—
As the door opened, a wave of noisy chatter accompanied by an unpleasant smell of sweat wafted over.
