“He’s moving?”
“He’s living just fine, why is he moving?”
“Does he dislike me, doesn’t want to live across from me anymore?”
“Is it because I eat too much? Or because I can’t be of help to him? But as a weak woman, what help can I offer Wang Tao in this post-apocalyptic world…”
At that moment, Ding Yuqin’s heart was filled with panic.
She was only surviving now thanks to the relief Wang Tao provided. Without him, she was certain to die!
She was still young, she didn’t want to die!
“Hmm, moving, moving right now.”
Wang Tao nodded his head.
He hadn’t gone out at night before because the zombies in Building 4 hadn’t been cleared out, and he was afraid of accidents; it was too dangerous in the pitch dark.
But now that the zombies had been cleared out, there was nothing to worry about if he worked at night.
Wang Tao was planning not just to move all the supplies to 602, but he also wanted to move those chives to the rooftop.
Growing them on the balcony was obviously not as good as the rooftop.
He decided to dismantle some of the furniture and use the steel pipe clothes racks on the rooftop to build a simple shed to house the diesel generator. After all, the smell was too strong; it was impossible to live with it indoors…
Talking about moving, in fact, there weren’t too many things.
Items that were not immediately needed could all be left in 501. Wang Tao only needed to move daily necessities, exercise equipment, the generator, and food.
As for other furniture, beds and such, he could just use those in 602. Wang Tao wasn’t very picky, second-hand goods were fine for him.
Ding Yuqin watched Wang Tao move bag after bag of food upstairs, which instantly gave her a sense of being abandoned…
Two hours later.
“Sister-in-law, you go back to sleep, I can handle the rest,” Wang Tao said, waving his hand with a hint of distaste.
Ding Yuqin was too weak; her working efficiency was too low. Working together, sometimes she even got in the way.
“Oh…”
After Ding Yuqin left, Wang Tao busied himself until midnight, finally settling into his new home.
Then, without resting, he took a telescope to the rooftop.
The weather was good that night, with stars scattered across the sky.
“Zombies are so active at night, but I wonder if their strength has increased…”
Wang Tao felt an urge to have a go with the zombies at night, of course, this was just an impulse, he definitely wouldn’t do it right now.
Wang Tao took a dry towel, dampened it with alcohol, and then went to the edge of the rooftop, lighting the towel with a lighter.
Watching the towel catch fire quickly, Wang Tao casually tossed it down.
The flaming towel drifted down towards the street, landing amidst a few zombies.
Attracted by the light, the zombies immediately ran over, but upon feeling the heat of the flames, the surrounding zombies quickly retreated a few steps. One of the zombies stared restlessly at the flames, while the others left outright.
After the towel burned out, the zombie that had remained waved its arms and came over, waiting at the ashes for a while, and then left when it found nothing.
From the rooftop, Wang Tao watched all of this unfold.
Then he tried another experiment, this time not with a towel but with a thick stick.
After lighting the stick on fire, Wang Tao threw it towards the distance.
Crack—
The sound of the stick hitting the ground attracted a few zombies, but after feeling the light of the fire, they, too, retreated. In the end, only two zombies remained, staring at the burning stick from afar.
The stick burned longer, and after a while, those two zombies also lost patience and contorted their bodies to leave.
Seeing this, Wang Tao felt a bit exhilarated.
“If I could turn the area around the compound into a firewall, wouldn’t the zombies be reluctant to come over? Then, wouldn’t this at least be a relatively safe, small-scale Survivor Base?”
“`
Of course, Wang Tao would never do that, because this community’s location isn’t great, lacking tall perimeter walls, and there aren’t many good resources nearby.
He himself had no plans to stay here for long, so there was no need to consider setting up a small Survivor Base. However, it could be turned into a temporary base…
The next day.
Wang Tao awoke in the large bed of apartment 602.
Before he could wash up, he heard a knock at the door.
Upon opening it, there stood Ding Yuqin, right on time.
“Wang Tao, I, I’ve come to make you breakfast.”
Today, Ding Yuqin’s attire was different from usual, making her look very homely.
Her black hair fell behind her, adorned with a black butterfly-knot hairband. She wore a deep purple low-cut camisole dress, which perfectly highlighted her shapely gourd-like figure.
But what was most attractive were her round, snowy, and slender legs and the rounded feet in flip-flops, stirring an urge in one to play with them.
Wang Tao had just gotten out of bed, and seeing Ding Yuqin’s outfit, a nameless fire suddenly sparked in his heart.
But his self-control was solid, after all, with so many beauties on set, lacking self-restraint would be embarrassing.
Wang Tao surveyed Ding Yuqin with an appreciative eye several times before stepping aside to let her in.
“Hmm, sister-in-law, come in.”
Ding Yuqin, slightly stiff in her movements, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon Wang Tao’s invitation. She feared that once Wang Tao moved, he wouldn’t need her to cook anymore.
“By the way, make breakfast a bit more substantial today.”
Wang Tao suddenly stopped walking, and Ding Yuqin, looking down, didn’t notice and bumped into him.
“Ah!”
Feeling the softness behind him, Wang Tao very gentlemanly stepped aside, letting Ding Yuqin go first.
“Sister-in-law, you should watch where you’re going!”
With a blush on her face, Ding Yuqin replied in a low voice, “Hmm.”
She felt that Wang Tao had done it on purpose, but she had no evidence.
After watching Ding Yuqin sway her way to the kitchen, Wang Tao first went to the bathroom, then headed to the exercise area to start his workout and cool off a bit.
An hour later, Ding Yuqin, who had prepared a full table of dishes, called Wang Tao to eat.
Since Wang Tao had asked for a more substantial breakfast, she naturally complied; knowing his appetite, the amount was not excessive.
“Sister-in-law, please sit too, let’s eat together.”
Ding Yuqin had been looking for an excuse to stay. At Wang Tao’s words, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly thanked him.
“Thank you!”
Wang Tao usually had her cook lunch. Does this breakfast count as an extra treat?
However, Wang Tao’s next words dispelled Ding Yuqin’s hopeful thoughts.
“I’m going out for a bit later, out of the community, sister-in-law. You just stay in your room and don’t wander around.”
“Ah? You’re leaving the community?”
She subconsciously frowned, feeling scared just by the thought of stepping out of her own doorway, let alone the community where zombies roamed outside. Could it be… was Wang Tao heading to find a Survivor Base? But he hadn’t agreed to take her with him yet!
No wonder he didn’t ask her to have breakfast and made it so lavish; it turned out to be a farewell meal!
Ding Yuqin became anxious at once.
She instinctively grabbed Wang Tao’s hand with a pleading look.
“Wang Tao, please don’t leave me behind, take me with you, I’m begging you…”
Wang Tao was startled at first, but after seeing the expression on Ding Yuqin’s face, he realized she might have misunderstood.
So he said calmly:
“It’s too dangerous outside, sister-in-law. It’s better for you to stay at home, I’ll leave some food for you.”
