Chapter 132: Commander Qiao’s Reputation Is About to Be Infamous

Yi Zhe and Huo Chenggui couldn’t stay at Shi Yuebai’s place for very long.

They just came back to check on the Shi family, and were getting ready to leave.

But Shi Yuebai instructed Commander Qiao to send them a few boxes of disinfectant, sterile gauze, and other medical supplies.

“These were all things people traded for when we used to exchange junk for supplies,” Commander Qiao explained briefly.

“Yuebai says these things will cover Brother Huo’s points.”

Back then, they’d traded for these because Shi Yuebai’s abilities were weak—at most, she could draw a dizziness array.

Now, she could draw much more, and her soul power was far stronger than before.

Her healing array had grown larger and larger, now hovering right above the “Tong” character frame.

Anyone who got hurt, as long as they stood under this healing array—whether internal or external injuries—would recover automatically.

The only catch was, you had to be able to get into the “Tong” frame.

So Shi Yuebai’s people didn’t need these medical supplies anymore.

Yi Zhe was a good guy; the mercenary corps’ presence had saved Shi Yuebai a lot of trouble.

She could now focus on losing weight and growing vegetables at the Shi house, all thanks to the mercenary corps carrying the burden.

So Shi Yuebai had Commander Qiao bring out all the medical supplies stockpiled in the Shi family courtyard—including those they’d scavenged later—and give them all to Yi Zhe.

Yi Zhe frowned and gave the supplies a quick once-over.

There were 600 bottles of expired but still sealed disinfectant.

Sterile gauze x120

Band-aids x50

Thermometers x60

Masks x1000

Pregnancy tests x253

Seemed like some odd things had gotten mixed in.

Yi Zhe didn’t look too closely.

Commander Qiao had brought out a mountain of medical supplies.

The mercenary corps really did need them.

But Huo Chenggui had only given Shi Yuebai a little over 30,000 points, and this pile of stuff was already worth far more than that.

In a big city, forget 300,000 points—even 30 million points wouldn’t be enough to buy all this.

Because it wasn’t just about price; there was no market for it.

“Wait a second.”

Yi Zhe saw Commander Qiao delivering the supplies across the ditch and turning back to collect the cloud ladder.

He called out to Commander Qiao.

Yi Zhe quickly typed a line on his communicator:

[Team Channel. Yi Zhe: Everyone, transfer all your points to Yuebai.]

[Team Channel. Huo Chenggui: Done. Thanks, sis, for your generosity. Let me show you how much medical stuff my sister donated us. [picture][picture][picture]]

[Team Channel. Chen Yong: (⊙o⊙) Wow, that much? Of course we should give all our points. I’ve sent every last one, not a single point left. [picture]]

Chen Yong even posted a screenshot of his account balance in the team channel.

Not a single point left.

After that, Shi Yuebai’s communicator kept buzzing.

On the wasteland, transfers didn’t need confirmation; they’d go straight to her account.

She was just working on her leg meridians with her eyes closed, and the buzzing nearly made her lose focus.

Luckily, her soul was incomparably strong—the strongest in the wasteland.

When Shi Yuebai finally checked her communicator, her account had received a total of 890,000 points.

Is 890,000 a lot?

Look at all those zeros.

But Yi Zhe could say with certainty that, even scraping together all these points, you still couldn’t buy much medical supplies in a big city.

You might not even be able to buy a ton of water.

Shi Yuebai sat in her wheelchair, thinking about how to spend these 890,000 points, while watching Ah Hong and Nong Yasi working in the vegetable garden.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that it was only three new plots of garden space—there was still a lot to do.

And behind the Shi house, more than half the area was steps; follow the steps up and you’d reach the swimming pool.

The steps were all tiled.

Some of the tiles were broken, but it didn’t affect how flat the steps were.

Second Sister-in-law Shi cherished the environment, and every day she’d carefully clean the steps, one layer at a time.

So these three new vegetable plots could only keep expanding toward the Pang family’s side.

Fortunately, the wall behind the Pang house already had a short section built.

Once they finished building up the wall, no one would accidentally fall into the ditch.

“Yuebai, Captain Yi and your third brother have already left.”

Commander Qiao came up behind Shi Yuebai.

Shi Yuebai turned and shot him a look.

Her mom was muddle-headed, and everyone else just went along with it.

Since when was Huo Chenggui her third brother?

Commander Qiao just smiled, his gaze falling on the baby cabbage patch not far away.

“Wow.”

As Xu Xuejiao became more and more well-behaved, and turned from someone who’d doubted Shi Yuebai into her die-hard fan, Commander Qiao’s privileges around Shi Yuebai had grown a lot.

For a long time, he hadn’t even been able to enter the Shi family courtyard.

But now, he could go around the Shi family’s inflatable tent and reach the back garden.

Commander Qiao stared in shock at the vegetable patch before him, unable to hide his excitement.

Sure enough, giving his life to Shi Yuebai had been the right choice.

So many vegetables.

He’d been wrong—he’d known Shi Yuebai had a lot of vegetables, but he hadn’t realized there were this many.

And the baby cabbages had already grown into a whole patch.

Ever since Xu Xuejiao’s outburst, Commander Qiao had had to cook separately with her at the bottom of the ditch.

Later, Xu Xuejiao started cooking big pots of food for the orphans and loners in the team.

Commander Qiao followed along, climbing up the ditch to eat with everyone.

He’d already had mushrooms and potatoes, and there was a pile of scallions at the bottom of the ditch too.

Shi Yuebai knew everything—if she hadn’t given out those scallions, the Qiao family wouldn’t dare touch them.

“Yuebai, I did a pretty good job with this errand, huh?”

Commander Qiao hinted madly.

He knew that as long as he got things done for Shi Yuebai, she’d never be stingy with food.

Commander Qiao didn’t want to keep eating potatoes and mushrooms—he wanted something fresh.

So his eyes kept darting toward the baby cabbage patch.

Shi Yuebai said coldly, “Baby cabbages are so cute—how could you even think of eating them?”

Commander Qiao: “...”

Yuebai was right; he didn’t dare argue.

Then Shi Yuebai said, “I’ve still got 890,000 points here. Go to the city and buy some more seeds.”

Commander Qiao immediately pulled a long face and nodded.

Last time he went to buy people, all his acquaintances in the city looked at him with terror.

They all thought Commander Qiao had hit rock bottom and started eating people.

Cannibal groups weren’t anything new in the wasteland.

But that was the lowest of the low.

Only someone truly desperate would ever eat another human.

How useless did Commander Qiao have to be to start buying people from the city?

And not just once, but again and again.

Now, all his old acquaintances in the city avoided him like the plague.

They were afraid he’d get so hungry he’d bite them.

And while cannibal groups weren’t banned from entering the city, the city police would tail them the whole time.

If he went and bought another 89 people, Commander Qiao’s reputation would be utterly infamous.

Eat that many? He’d be a straight-up ogre.

God, it’s getting so cold."
