If you root the valve proper then it would be new tube time I guess. But I always have at least one tube spare on any ride, often two if I know I am going far afield.
Recent ride with eight of us (all experience riders with good tyres, tubes and pressures) saw 15 flats, we ran out of tubes and resorted to patching, was crazy day. I did a ride the other month where I had five flats on a rail trail, ridiculous. Then on another day you get none. Just luck of the draw.
