Chapter 348: Mr. Taylor and Ciera Arrival in City A Base (2)
Because the medical resources were also very valuable.

Mr. Jones could not do such a thing.

So when Mr. Taylor looked at the huge bill that was placed in front of him, he nearly collapsed. From now on, 90% of his and his daughter’s contribution point would be used to pay off Ciera’s medical fee until it was completely paid.

Mr. Taylor could only sign it.

Otherwise, they would not treat Ciera at all.

Moreover, there was no suitable kidney for the second operation, so she had to sustain herself through dialysis and so on.

The price was by no means cheap.

In this kind of environment, it was already difficult enough for people to survive and many medical equipment were destroyed in the earthquake. City A Base had managed to rebuild the hospital and also provided the people with a lot of treatment, which was already very good.

Many other bases were incapable of doing this.

Some of them were able to do so but most of them would have limited medical capabilities following the earthquake. Many precious medicine couldn’t be found either as they have to rummage through the grounds to find them.

It was only because City A Base negotiated with the Carson Family that their medical supplies were abundant.

Of course, they could not squander it.

There were already medicine factory being rebuild as fast as possible.

But this was another matter.

Right now, Mr. Taylor and Ciera were facing a huge debt of contributing points. They knew very well that their good days were gone and they have to suffer a lot in this base.

“Dad, why did you agree to this?” Ciera looked at the huge medical bill placed in front of her and wanted to vomit blood.

Back in the Business District Base, they didn’t have to pay any medical bills because Mr. Taylor contributed to the base’s development.

He had also brought a lot of resources with him, which was all handed over to the base in exchange for some convenience. Even if it was not much but their lives were still very good in Business District Base.

Now…

“I have no other choice.” Mr. Taylor shook his head. “I’m going to join the scavenge team and gather resources. As long as I can get items with higher contribution points, the debt will be paid off faster.”

The scavenge team was a group of people who collected resources from the ruins. The areas around City A Base has been cleaned up but there were still a lot of mess further away.

Some soldiers were sent to clean up the magic beasts.

But they also needed people to scavenge and gather the resources. If these resources could still be used, they would be credited some contributing points.

Of course, since they were part of the scavenge team that came out while being protected by the soldiers, the amount of contribution points could only be 30% of the actual item’s value.

Many people still choose to go with the army.

Because they were incapable of dealing with the magic beasts by themselves. Compared to money, they cared more about their lives!

“Going out?” Ciera was stunned. “In this hot weather?”

The temperature hadn’t gone down much during the day. While it was still relatively cool at night, but the day’s temperature was really high and many people passed out when they were working because the temperature was too hot.

It could be said that it was indeed a bit miserable.

The cool talisman could be bought with contribution points and Riya had stocked up a lot for City A Base in exchange for jade. Even though Riya had to say that she felt her wrist sore because of writing too much low level talisman.

But then again, the jade that Samuel gave was really good.

Riya wanted them.

So she finished her tasks and obtained a lot of jade.

It could be said that after Samuel knew Riya’s real rank, he directly made offer that she could not easily refuse. She could only accept it and sighed deeply that Samuel is indeed a businessman.

His means were not something that Riya could compare to.

But for ordinary people, they would not buy the cool talisman unless it was necessary. Instead, they would sneak to some places where there were cool talisman set up. Even if the place was a bit crowded because it was free, but it was nothing.

As long as they could save money and resources, it was nothing much.

These people were all willing.

“Yes,” Mr. Taylor replied. “And you will come with me.”

“What? But I…” Ciera didn’t really want to go out. After staying outside for a long time, Ciera felt really dirty. Moreover, those magic beasts were very annoying and seeing them often made Ciera wanted to vomit blood.

She hated it.

Unfortunately, in this special situation, it was almost impossible for them to avoid these magic beasts all the time.

“You will come and follow. There are only two jobs that required a lot of ordinary people, construction and scavenging,” Mr. Taylor said calmly. “I don’t think you’re capable of helping in the construction site, so you will come with me to scavenge for resources.”

With Ciera’s weak strength, she would be a burden when she was working in the construction site.

Mr. Taylor felt that it would be better for her to follow him.

Besides, Mr. Taylor also felt annoyed when he thought about the huge debt that he had to shoulder because of Ciera.

If the other party was not his daughter, he would not agree to this at all.

After all, if he wanted to have a foothold in City A Base, he had to get a lot of contribution points.

“That’s…”

“Ok, now follow me to our new place.”

Ciera shut her mouth but resentment grew within her eyes.

She felt that things shouldn’t have been like this.

She’s the young miss of the Taylor Family and her family is very powerful. So why can’t she live comfortably?
