"Sister-in-law, it's me."
Wang Tao knocked on Ding Yuqin's door, planning to have her help move things from upstairs. Since there was manpower available, there was no reason not to use it.
Hearing the sound, Ding Yuqin quickly opened the door. Seeing some Black Blood on Wang Tao, she asked with concern, "Wang Tao, are you hurt?"
"I'm okay, lucky. I almost went down."
Wang Tao's voice sounded muffled behind his mask.
His wrist was only a little sore when the Zombie pounced on him. But he didn't lose much blood, so it didn't seem serious.
"Should I get the Medical Kit..."
Ding Yuqin looked worried.
Wang Tao shook his head.
"No, help me move things first."
"Okay!"
Ding Yuqin followed Wang Tao to 601. Looking at the pool of Black Blood at the door and the signs of a fight in the living room, she subconsciously swallowed and asked softly, "Were there two Zombies here?"
"Yeah."
Wang Tao nodded.
Ding Yuqin clicked her tongue inwardly as she looked at Wang Tao's back. Two Zombies! And he took care of them both! "These things are all packed up, let's move them."
Wang Tao pointed to the things on the floor.
"Okay!"
Although Ding Yuqin wasn't very strong, the distance wasn't far, and the two of them moved everything to 501 in one trip.
As the supplies were sorted and neatly arranged, Wang Tao suddenly felt that his room was a bit small.
Mainly because he had brought back everything he felt was useful now or would be useful in the future. Clothes, books, electronics, and the like.
He was even considering furniture from other people's homes.
Although furniture was difficult to move, it could be disassembled and taken. When the gas ran out in the future, he could burn the wood for cooking...
While Ding Yuqin was tidying up and sorting things, Wang Tao took a shower. The cold water hit him, instantly giving him a jolt.
After killing the Zombies, his mind was still a bit tense. After all, being suddenly attacked by a sneaky Zombie was a minor psychological shadow.
Now, the cold water washed over him, making him much calmer.
It was a pity he didn't want to waste electricity to heat the water; a hot shower would have been even more comfortable.
While showering, Wang Tao looked at his wrist. There was a patch of bruising, but it wasn't serious and would probably be fine in a couple of days. As for the bruising on his arm before, it had long since healed.
When he finished showering, Ding Yuqin had also finished organizing.
The bruising on Wang Tao's wrist was quite noticeable, and Ding Yuqin saw it at a glance.
Having been surprised once before, Ding Yuqin didn't overreact, but she still asked, "Wang Tao, should I apply some medicine to your wrist? It'll heal faster with medicine!"
"Sure."
After Wang Tao nodded, Ding Yuqin immediately went home to get the Medical Kit.
Actually, Ding Yuqin had originally wanted to give the Medical Kit to Wang Tao, but she hesitated and didn't. It wasn't that she was unwilling, but she knew that she didn't have much value to offer Wang Tao right now. If she gave away the Medical Kit, she would really have nothing left...
Wang Tao lay on the sofa, and Ding Yuqin sat beside him, applying the medicine. The ointment felt cool and refreshing.
Ding Yuqin looked at the muscles on Wang Tao's body and thought about offering to massage him to help him relax. She had some experience in that area. But she felt it wasn't appropriate, so she didn't mention it.
After applying the medicine for a while, Ding Yuqin suddenly asked:
"Um, Wang Tao, will you be going to a Survivor Base next?"
Before the internet went down, she had seen the Government's announcement, knowing that there was a large Survivor Base organized by the Government in Yellow Wind City.
Of course, she wanted to go. She heard that it still retained the appearance of a normal society, with rules and order, and even every Survivor had a minimum living guarantee! This was simply a paradise for people in the apocalypse! But the problem was that this Survivor Base was too far from their residential area. She simply had no ability to get there...
So she asked Wang Tao to see if Wang Tao had any plans to go, and if so, if he could take her with him.
Hearing this question, Wang Tao pondered for a moment and said, "I have the idea of going, but I'm not sure when to go."
Although for now, he can kill Zombies and scavenge supplies, and seems to have the ability to survive in the apocalypse, who can say what will happen in the future.
Moreover, Wang Tao also wanted to see what the Survivor Base was like. If it was as good as they said, he would be willing to live there.
But he definitely wouldn't go now. He is currently located in Water Marsh County of Yellow Wind City, while the Survivor Base is in Red Stone County, which is a full fifty kilometers away. Unless he grew wings, with his current strength, traveling that far would be suicide.
"Um, well, if you go, can you take me with you?"
Ding Yuqin smiled ingratiatingly, looking at Wang Tao with some apprehension.
"We'll see, it's too early to say these things now."
Wang Tao did not answer directly.
And his attitude immediately made Ding Yuqin's face turn pale.
In the world of adults, people generally don't refuse so directly, and will save face for the other party.
Combining the current situation, Wang Tao's response was obviously a rejection.
After all, she can't kill Zombies, and she doesn't have much strength. To Wang Tao, she is just a burden, and Wang Tao might be able to move faster without her...
"Oh..."
Ding Yuqin bit her lip somewhat blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Wang Tao didn't refuse outright, and she couldn't pester Wang Tao to agree, could she? What if Wang Tao was still a little hesitant, and then her fuss made Wang Tao instantly decide not to take her...
Ding Yuqin didn't need to cook dinner. There was some leftover rice from noon, which was enough for Wang Tao to eat after heating it up a bit.
Considering that Ding Yuqin had also helped in the afternoon, Wang Tao gave her a packet of instant noodles.
This packet of instant noodles was an extra reward. Ding Yuqin thought she would be very happy, but she couldn't be happy at all.
After Ding Yuqin left, Wang Tao simply ate a meal, rested for a while, and then began his daily exercise.
"I feel that after killing these two Zombies today, my physical fitness has improved a bit! It shouldn't be an illusion. Killing Zombies can indeed slightly improve physical fitness! Although it's not obvious once or twice, as long as it reaches a certain amount, the improvement will probably be very considerable..."
After exercising for a few hours, Wang Tao went to take a shower, and then Wang Tao suddenly discovered that the water had been cut off.
In fact, when he was taking a shower just now, he noticed that the water flow was a bit small, so it was not surprising that the water was cut off now.
However, he felt somewhat uncomfortable, because another task had been added to his list—finding water.
He simply rinsed off the sweat with the pre-stored water, and didn't pour out the remaining wastewater, saving it for flushing the toilet later.
Then he lay on the bed and routinely turned on the radio to see if he could hear any movement.
"Buzz... Buzz... This is Red Stone Survivor Base... Buzz..."
