“I… I’m sorry, Wang Tao, I’m sorry!”
Hearing Wang Tao’s words, Ding Yuqin apologized in a bit of a panic.
Although there seemed to be something off about what Wang Tao said, she had no mind to think about it.
Because what Wang Tao said was true, he really had done a lot for her.
Wang Tao clearly had the opportunity to leave, but he came back and saved her, that was an indisputable fact!
“Sorry, it’s all my fault, I’m a heartless, bad woman… I’m sorry!”
Tears poured out of Ding Yuqin like a dam had burst.
Wang Tao sneered and said:
“So, sister-in-law, what do you think you should do?”
“I… I… I’ll definitely do as you say, whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it,”
Ding Yuqin said hastily.
“Really?”
“Really!”
“Alright, then go change into this dress.”
Wang Tao pointed to a white wedding dress hanging under the wedding photo.
“What’s with that look, sister-in-law? Didn’t you say you’d listen to me?”
Ding Yuqin bit her lower lip, but eventually, she sighed.
“Wang Tao, I’ll listen to you and put on the wedding dress, but please don’t humiliate me…”
“Relax, sister-in-law, I’ll just admire from afar, I won’t even touch you.”
“You, you said you wouldn’t touch me…”
“Rest assured, sister-in-law, I’m just feeling the fabric of the wedding dress,
I’ve never touched it before in my life!”
“You, you said you’d only touch the wedding dress…”
“Relax, sister-in-law, I’m just going to give you a little massage, I won’t do anything to you!”
“You, you…”
“I’m just going to rub…”
“Mmm~”
An hour later.
“It’s all your fault, sob sob…”
Ding Yuqin, her wedding dress in disarray, cried in Wang Tao’s arms.
Wang Tao glanced at the wedding photo on the wall, then gently brushed away the strands of hair sticking to Ding Yuqin’s forehead with sweat.
“Sorry, I accidentally got your wedding dress dirty. I can wash it for you if it’s really so bad!”
“You, you’re shameless, a scoundrel, a bad man… Ah—”
“I’m very angry, call me ‘husband’ and let me hear it, otherwise there will be no end to today.”
“Are you going to say it?”
“…Hu, husband…”
“You’re so good, sister-in-law!”
“You must have stored a lot of water at home too, let’s go clean up. We’ll rest here tonight.”
“…You!”
The next day.
Wang Tao got up early.
Seeing Ding Yuqin still asleep beside him, Wang Tao patted her.
“Sister-in-law, the sun’s shining on our butts!”
Ding Yuqin woke up groggily and glared at Wang Tao resentfully when she saw it was only six o’clock by the clock on the wall.
“Ahem, it’s mainly because the bed here is too soft, I’m not used to it.”
Wang Tao spoke with an irritating tone.
“Serves you right!”
“So I think, I need to sleep on it a few more times. After all, it’s the apocalypse, I need to fix my bad habit of being picky about beds!”
“…I don’t want to deal with you anymore!”
Since she was already awake, Ding Yuqin hurried to get out of bed to cook, afraid that Wang Tao might play tricks again.
Wang Tao did not stop, but instead looked at his own HP bar, his expression showing some surprise.
“My HP is regenerating again!”
His current HP was [360/480], which meant that the cooldown period for this regenerative ability was one day?
Being able to replenish too HP each time was quite impressive. After all, if not for this Blood Replenishing, it would be very slow to recover just with time.
It was just unclear whether this Blood Replenishing ability belonged to him, Wang Tao, or Ding Yuqin… It was really hard to say.
After all, since the apocalypse began, he had the ability to see living creatures’ HP bars and loot drops from killing monsters; perhaps Ding Yuqin had some abilities as well.
However, there was no way to prove this unless he tried it out with another woman, cough.
After getting up, Wang Tao unexpectedly found a skull mask in Ding Yuqin’s house and took the item upstairs.
“Sister-in-law, did you make this especially for me?”
When Ding Yuqin saw the item in his hand, her face immediately blushed.
“Then thank you, sister-in-law, I really like it!”
“Wang Tao, look how neatly I arranged these!”
On the rooftop, Ding Yuqin called out to Wang Tao with a hint of seeking praise as she looked at the neatly arranged leeks.
Wang Tao, who was observing zombies through a telescope, turned around and saw Ding Yuqin, dressed in a black silk OL outfit, bending over to tend to the leeks, and he nodded immediately.
“Looks good!”
“Hehe, it’s so neat!”
Ding Yuqin, looking at the lush green leeks in front of her, felt jubilant.
Besides the leeks, many green plants were placed around, all collected by her inside this building.
“It’s just a pity that it doesn’t rain…”
Ding Yuqin muttered while watering the leeks and green plants.
Before the apocalypse, there was a heavy rainfall, but after that, it had been clear skies. If it weren’t for some water stored in the building, they would have run out long ago.
Moreover, the stored water was running low, as it had been more than ten days since the water stopped, and much of it had gone bad. They could only use it for washing clothes, taking baths, and watering the green plants.
For drinking, they relied on the purified water provided by Wang Tao in large barrels.
Hearing Ding Yuqin’s muttering, Wang Tao also looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
But he wasn’t thinking about rain; instead, he was hoping for another airdrop to happen soon.
As for the water issue, besides killing zombies to obtain purified water, he could also solve it by digging a well.
It was just that he didn’t have the tools for drilling a well right now; if he could find a long steel pipe, he might be able to try drilling a small-diameter artesian well.
His family used to live in the countryside, where everyone used artesian wells. He knew how to make one, but it required some tools and effort.
“Let’s go, sister-in-law.”
Wang Tao came over and patted Ding Yuqin’s buttocks.
“Ah!”
Ding Yuqin gave Wang Tao a glare and then followed behind him, asking:
“Wang Tao, what are we having for lunch?”
Until a few days ago, she never imagined she could be picky about food in the post-apocalyptic world… And that was all because of Wang Tao.
“Just see what you can make—never mind, let’s eat those ready-to-cook meal packs today to change it up.”
After their outing, the supplies at home could be considered abundant, and they now had the luxury of choice.
“Okay!”
At noon, Ding Yuqin was cooking in the kitchen, while Wang Tao was fiddling with the radio and walkie-talkie.
Ever since he made contact with other survivors through the walkie-talkie at the water plant, Wang Tao liked to play with the device whenever he had some free time.
“Sss…sss… is there anyone who can receive… sss…sss…”
“Hmm?”
Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, Wang Tao’s eyes lit up. He quickly moved to the window, but the signal was still not very strong.
“Sister-in-law, I’m going up to the rooftop. Call me when dinner’s ready.”
“All right!”
Wang Tao took the walkie-talkie and ran to the rooftop.
“Is there anyone who can receive… sss…sss…”
The rooftop was open and at a high elevation, with nothing to obstruct it, making the signal much better as soon as he got there.
Wang Tao pressed the transmit button on the walkie-talkie.
“Who are you? Where are you? Repeat, who are you? Where are you?”
“Aaaah! Someone finally received me! My name is Ou Yingying, we’re trapped, please save us…”
“Ou Yingying?”
That name sounded vaguely familiar..
