Wang Tao was somewhat speechless. This guy was really reckless! Not even asking, he just caught the Ability with his hand? The Shockwave might look little, yet the power was genuine. After all, he wasn’t too adept yet. This was the weakest state he could control.

Even so, Xiang Hongbin still lost over a hundred HP, resulting in internal injuries. Fortunately, it was a Shockwave. If it had been a Cutting type of Ability, Xiang Hongbin’s hand might have been gone…

“Are you okay!”

Ren Jie hurriedly helped Xiang Hongbin up.

“I’m fine… *cough cough*… tui”

Xiang Hongbin spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, then looked at Wang Tao with fiery eyes.                                 °

“A real Ability User! Did you eat a Zombie Core? What does it feel like to become an Ability User? How do you know if you have an Ability?”

Xiang Hongbin fired off questions like a machine gun.

Wang Tao was somewhat speechless, but Wei Zhenguo intervened on his behalf.

“You can ask him any questions later. Now, we have a common issue-for Comrade Wang Tao becoming the eighth member of the Base, do you have any objections?”

“No objections, of course, no objections! We had agreed from the beginning, Ability Users within the base can directly be promoted to Committee members!”

Xiang Hongbin nodded hurriedly.

“Good.”

Wei Zhenguo nodded and then looked towards Liu He, Ren Jie, and Feng

Ming’an at his side.

“We have no objections either!11

The three of them spoke in succession.

“Excellent!”

Wei Zhenguo said to Wang Tao:

According to our Base Committee’s rules, for major decisions, if over two- thirds agree, that’s enough. There are seven of us committee members now, and the agreement of five is sufficient. The other two members are outside, and there are only five of us here, but that’s enough. Now, all five of us here agree with you becoming a member of the Base Committee. Do you agree? Of course, don’t hurry to respond. I need to explain the responsibilities of a committee member first…”

After Wei Zhenguo spoke about some rights and obligations, everyone looked toward Wang Tao.

“I agree.”

Clap clap clap!

Several people clapped eagerly.

Congratulations, Comrade Wang Tao—oh no, from now on, we’ll call you Commissioner Wang Tao!”

Ren Jie warmly shook hands with Wang Tao. He used to be the Deputy County Head of Shuize County, but he was not quite used to the word “deputy”; he preferred the title of Commissioner. He believed Wang Tao would like it too.

Sure enough, Wang Tao immediately responded with a smile:

I will have to trouble Commissioner Ren for more guidance in the future!”

After exchanging polite words, they took Wang Tao to the top floor of the comprehensive building. This was the exclusive office area for the committee members, where they could overlook the entire Shuize Base.

However, it was rare for everyone to be present under normal circumstances Because they were either out searching for supplies, resting at home, or too tired and lazy to climb the stairs…

After all, it was the post-apocalypse; there were no idle jobs that merely involved sitting in an office. Everyone had to play their part, including the committee members.

There was a round table in the great hall on the top floor, with seven chairs in front of it, representing the seven highest-ranking people of Shuize Base.

Ren Jie brought another chair and invited Wang Tao to sit down.

Truth be told, sitting here felt different.

But Wang Tao did not forget that in this post-apocalyptic world, what allowed him to survive was the Strength in his hands. The feeling of superiority was to be experienced only briefly; it was not something to be indulged in.

“Have the other two members not returned yet?”

Wang Tao asked curiously.

With him included, there were now eight members in the Shuize Base Committee: Wei Zhenguo, Xiang Hongbin, and Lu Gang from the original Security Army; Feng Ming’an and Song Jinghong from the former Police Department; Ren Jie, the former Deputy County Head; the electronics guru, Liu He; and Wang Tao himself.

He had met five out of the eight members, leaving only Lu Gang and Song Jinghong.

He had heard that Lu Gang was a young man about Wang Tao’s age. Both Xiang Hongbin and Wei Zhenguo were considered his superiors. He earned his committee membership because of his marksmanship, which was the best in the entire base.

Song Jinghong was an older police officer and Han Rui’s former superior.

According to Han Rui, he was a good man who liked to nurture his juniors. He himself was known for his integrity; both within the industry and outside, he had an excellent reputation.

Wang Tao wanted to get to know these two.

‘Lu Gang left on the morning of the day you arrived. He went to hunt special zombies and hasn’t returned for several days.”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

Hunt special zombies? He had not dared to say he could hunt special zombies; he only dealt with them when encountered. But the other man directly went out to hunt? That’s seriously impressive!

Wei Zhenguo, as if knowing what Wang Tao was thinking, chuckled and shook his head.

“Hey, he said he’s hunting special zombies, but really, it’s also about luck. While scavenging for supplies, he’d see if he could encounter any. His marksmanship is excellent, the only sniper in our base, so he can snipe special zombies from a distance. Most of our Zombie Cores come from him…”

“That’s still pretty impressive!”

Wang Tao felt somewhat envious. A sniper rifle, he wanted one too…

As for Song Jinghong, he went on a rescue mission for survivors. The survivors from Sunshine Community made contact with us via walkie-talkie as they were trapped. The danger there wasn’t very great, so Song Jinghong personally led people over there. But considering the time, he should be back already…”

Wei Zhenguo looked slightly puzzled.

“Haven’tyou contacted him?”

Wang Tao asked.

“Generally, the base doesn’t proactively contact those who go out. After all, their walkie-talkies can’t be on all the time…”

Wei Zhenguo explained.

“Makes sense.”

Just then, Ren Jie, with a smile, spoke up:

“Never mind others, Commissioner Wang, when do you plan to make an appearance before all base personnel? The committee members definitely need to be known by everyone.”

“Anytime is fine.”

“Great, let me check the schedule…”

Ren Jie hadn’ t finished speaking when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

“Reporting!”

“Come in.”

A soldier jogged up to Wei Zhenguo.

“Captain Wei, the survivors from Sunshine Community have arrived at our base, but Commissioner Song Jinghong hasn’t returned…”
