"Although our base has a safety net, even if survivors do nothing, the base won’t let them starve to death," the consequence is that these people might be compulsorily drafted to fight at any time! So after arriving at the base, it’s better to find a job for yourself. There are many job positions at our base, and even if you really can’t do anything, selling your labor is also an option...
This definitely won’t be a problem for you. I won’t go on about it."
Wang Tao and the others all nodded, which was what they expected.
Not to mention Changhe Base, even the various bases they had seen before, regardless of size, all had something similar to Contribution Points. Survivors couldn’t just freeload at the base; they had to contribute.
Although this divided people into different ranks—actually, it was also divided before the apocalypse, just not so overtly—it also gave people the motivation to climb upward.
And now, under these circumstances, those with greater strength and more contributions should indeed have privileges.
This was not about oppressing ordinary people but rather providing an alternative form of protection for them—if these people weren’t granted privileges, not to mention whether they would be willing to contribute to the base in the future, the real question was, even if you didn’t grant them privileges, couldn’t they just take them?
After all, they were powerful and could get what they wanted anyway!
If things really developed to that point, the consequences would be severe—it would’ve been possible to settle things through negotiation and peace, but force was used instead. And the ones to suffer would be the whole base!
So, this was actually a form of protection for ordinary people!
The founders of the base, the Six Major Legions, were willing to give up some of their interests, also considering this problem.
Of course, since ranks were explicitly assigned, there would naturally be exploitation of some people, which was inevitable and temporarily unsolvable.
However, for Wang Tao and his group, with their abilities, not to mention the upper ranks, atleast being in the middle class was definitely not a problem.
...
Duan Xuchang talked a lot more with Wang Tao and his group, continuing until late into the night. He finally realized it was getting late, so he stood up to take his leave.
"Haha, maybe it’s because I was too tense before, now that I feel safe I’ve become more talkative, I hope you don’t mind!"
"What are you talking about, we’re really grateful you told us all this stuff! Stay for a meal with us!"
Wang Tao was ready to invite Duan Xuchang for a meal, but Duan Xuchang declined.
"I haven’t gone home today yet, my wife is waiting at home!"
Seeing the happiness on Duan Xuchang’s face, Wang Tao nodded with a smile.
"Alright then, I really envy you!"
Being able to be with your wife in the apocalypse was indeed enviable.
But as soon as Wang Tao expressed his envy, he immediately felt several gazes directed at him.
"Haha, it should be me envying you! Sleep well!"
Duan Xuchang winked at Wang Tao and then left laughing.
Wang Tao personally saw him out and, upon returning, found that Wei Zhenguo and the others had taken some food to their respective rooms. Only Ding Yuqin and a few other women, along with Lightning, were left.
Seeing the women staring at him, Wang Tao felt a slight thrill in his heart.
Could it be that tonight he could relax properly with all the women?
However, clearly, he thought too much.
The women suddenly glared at him in unison, then all retired to their rooms as well.
Even Jiang Shixue, who usually liked to stick close to Wang Tao, left, leaving only Lightning looking at Wang Tao expectantly.
"...Sigh! Poor us, it’s just you and me from now on!"
Wang Tao intentionally sighed loudly.
Seeing that he received no response, he simply patted Lightning’s head and then took out some food. After eating simply with the dog, he returned to his room.
The place Duan Xuchang had arranged for Wang Tao and his group was a small courtyard with many rooms, but only their group was in the entire yard, so it was quite peaceful.
In the room.
Wang Tao lay in bed, with Lightning lying under the bed.
Without turning on the light, Wang Tao lay with his eyes open, looking at the ceiling.

"What a comforting feeling..."
Wang Tao mumbled.
Since the apocalypse began, this was the first time he felt such a strong sense of security.
This feeling was really comfortable!
"Sleep!"
Wang Tao closed his eyes, not having slept soundly for a long time.
But just as Wang Tao was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening.
Lightning, who laid on the ground, immediately raised its head, but soon lay down again.
Wang Tao’s eyebrows lifted. He was curious as to who the visitor was. But he didn’t look, nor did he use his Perception. He closed his eyes and even deliberately made a soft snoring sound.
Before long, Wang Tao felt a soft body gently climb onto his bed.
After coming into contact with the other’s body, Wang Tao didn’t need to look to instantly know who it was.
"Sister-in-law, you’re in the wrong room."
Wang Tao suddenly spoke out.

Ding Yuqin was startled by Wang Tao’s voice, her face slightly flushed, and she lightly hammered Wang Tao’s chest in mild annoyance.
"You’re pretending to be asleep to scare me!"
Wang Tao wrapped his arm around Ding Yuqin’s waist, looking at her watery eyes in the dark and teasing:
"Sister-in-law hasn’t answered me yet, I said you’re in the wrong room."
"Hmph~"
Ding Yuqin ignored him. But feeling Wang Tao’s wandering hands, she bit her lip and then whispered in Wang Tao’s ear:
"Bad man! I didn’t get the wrong room, I came to sleep with you!"
