Translator: 549690339      —

There were actually quite a few vehicles inside the base, and Wang Tao directly requisitioned an off-road vehicle from a staff member on duty.

The other committee members had gone ahead, and before Wang Tao set off he first went to the teachers’ apartments.

When Wang Tao entered the teachers’ apartment building, he happened to see Sun Weiguang holding a walkie-talkie and talking to someone. Wang Tao called out to him.

“Sun Weiguang, where is your wife, Han Rui?”

Startled by the shout, Sun Weiguang saw Wang Tao and subconsciously replied:

“She, she’s at home…”

“Okay.”

Without another word, Wang Tao headed up.

Sun Weiguang opened his mouth but didn’t know whether he should go home or not.

Although he was still living with Han Rui, they had been sleeping separately for some time. Han Rui hardly talked to him and was very indifferent, treating him like an ordinary roommate.

At times, Sun Weiguang still felt a bit upset. After all, Han Rui was his wife and they had lived together for some time, but now they were like strangers…

They had agreed on a medicine that would leave no memory of their affair but everything backfired when Han Rui found out everything! Fake drugs hurt’ people!

However, most of the time, Sun Weiguang enjoyed the peace and quiet If he hadn’t been unable to apply for a house, he might have already moved out and lived with Ou Yingying.

Han Rui, hearing the door open, thought it was Sun Weiguang, so she didn’t pay much attention.

Not until she felt a tall shadow block the light from the window.

Han Rui looked up, and was startled.

You… what are you doing here!”

Wang Tao frowned immediately.

“What kind of attitude is that, Han Rui? As a member of the base committee, I personally arranged work for you, and you’re not welcoming me?”

“No, I mean…”

Han Rui wanted to explain, but couldn’t seem to find the right words. She just sighed, head lowered.

“Commissioner Wang, just order me whatever task you have…”

Wang Tao wasn’t really angry, he was just teasing her. So, he said with a smile: “You’ll accompany me to supervise others in draining water, and I need you to use your Perception Ability for something.”

“Understood.”

After Han Rui put on her raincoat, they both left. As Wang Tao opened the door, Sun Weiguang, who had been leaning against it, almost fell headlong. “… What are you doing?”

Wang Tao was exasperated.

“Cough cough, I just lost my footing…”

Sun Weiguang hurriedly explained in embarrassment.

Han Rui didn’t even glance at Sun Weiguang and walked straight out.

After Han Rui had gone downstairs, Wang Tao followed her, but not without giving Sun Weiguang a look and saying:

“You have some unique hobbies…”

Once they both had left, Sun Weiguang quickly went inside and sniffed the air in the room.

“Really did nothing?”

Sun Weiguang couldn’t understand why he felt inexplicably disappointed…

After Wang Tao and Han Rui got into the vehicle, he turned to her and said:

“I want you to Perception-sense those overgrown plants…”

“Overgrown plants?”

Han Rui was a bit puzzled as she hadn’t noticed any food plants growing unusually large, but when Wang Tao deliberately drove next to some overgrown plants, Han Rui’s eyes widened.

“This… they’re so big!”

Looking at the bushes that had obviously grown much larger, Han Rui exclaimed in disbelief.

“Use your Ability and sense if there is anything special about these plants.”

Han Rui closed her eyes and concentrated. After feeling around for a while she shook her head.

“Nothing, I don’t sense anything…”

Hearing Han Rui say she felt nothing, Wang Tao sighed in relief.

He was afraid these plants had mutated into the kind of man-eating plants seen in movies. It seemed fine for now, as long as Han Rui couldn’t sense anything, there probably wasn’t any danger, at least not for the moment.

When they arrived at a place where the water was particularly deep, Wang Tao sat in the car, watching survivors in raincoats, digging through the drains with shovels, in silent observation.

He was here to prevent any potential danger to the survivors’ lives, and to figure out what was going on with the acid rain’s HP depletion.

The raincoats couldn’t cover all of the survivors’ bodies, especially since they were working, and soon, the survivors started to show «-i» above their heads.

Wang Tao observed that it was the same as with himself, starting to lose HP about every minute. However, only those with full HP were dropping in HP, while those with lesser HP weren’t.

Han Rui, watching these survivors working in the rain, instinctively reached to open the door, but Wang Tao locked it.

“What are you planning to do?” he asked, somewhat puzzled.

I m going to help…” Han Rui quickly responded.

Hearing this, Wang Tao looked at Han Rui in disbelief and told her to stay put.

Han Rui’s expression stiffened, feeling Wang Tao was too indifferent.

Suddenly, Wang Tao added:

“This rain is toxic.”

Han Rui was stunned for a moment. Was Wang Tao showing concern for her? But soon she was worried again, “Then what about them…”

“Don’t worry, I’m keeping an eye on them, it won’t be a problem.”

After hesitating for a bit, Han Rui still wished to go down.

“I can’t just sit here and watch them work in the rain…”

Her previous job had instilled in her a lead-by-example attitude. Wang Tao said the rain was toxic but not very dangerous, so she felt she should help out.

This time, Wang Tao didn’t stop her and let Han Rui go down. He couldn’t bring imself to do the same, but he admired people like that. Besides, he could also take the opportunity to observe how an Ability User fared in the rain.

The survivors generally had an HP around one hundred, and those who came out to work all had full health. Initially, there was no danger..
