It was a fruitful haul this time at 101.
Wang Tao couldn't carry everything by himself, so he called Ding Yuqin to help.
"Leek!"
When Ding Yuqin arrived at 101 and saw the lush green leeks, her face was filled with envy.
Although there weren't many leeks, there were definitely enough to eat occasionally.
She had the idea of asking Wang Tao for two pots of leeks. After all, there were twelve pots in total, so losing two wouldn't matter, or even just one pot would be fine...
Just as Ding Yuqin was wondering how to bring it up, she suddenly saw the two corpses in the corner.
"Ah!"
She subconsciously hid behind Wang Tao and covered her mouth tightly.
Ding Yuqin hadn't actually seen many Zombies. She had only seen them online when the internet was still working. As for in reality, there were some downstairs, but she didn't dare to look. The Zombies in the building had all been cleared by Wang Tao.
Now, suddenly seeing the corpses with their brains splattered and smelling the disgusting odor, her legs were about to give out...
Wang Tao turned around and saw Ding Yuqin's terrified expression, so he explained,
"They're dead, don't worry."
The first-floor apartments had security bars, and since there were Zombies outside, there was no way to throw the corpses out. For now, they could only be left there.
"Okay..."
She quickly turned her head away, not daring to look anymore.
As for her earlier idea of asking for two pots of leeks, she instantly abandoned it.
She didn't think Wang Tao would give away the spoils he obtained at the risk of his life for nothing. If she asked for them, she was afraid she would annoy Wang Tao, which would be counterproductive...
After packing up the spoils, Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin made three trips before finally bringing everything back to 501.
On the way, the Balding Uncle, hearing the noise, came out to take a look, his eyes full of envy.
Wang Tao gave him some food. After all, the Balding Uncle had provided the number of people in 101, and it wasn't false information, so it was normal to give him some benefits.
The door of 401 also opened a crack, but before Wang Tao could see the situation inside, the person closed it again. He only vaguely saw a young man wearing glasses and the Health Bar above his head that read [50/100].
Wang Tao had originally thought about communicating with him, since he was one of the only four Survivors in the building. But since the other person wasn't interested in communicating, Wang Tao naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble.
It was already noon, and Ding Yuqin began to make lunch for Wang Tao. Wang Tao, on the other hand, was frowning at the twelve pots of leeks.
He didn't have room for them in his house, and leeks needed plenty of sunlight. His balcony was too small, and if he put all the leeks there, he wouldn't be able to get any sunlight himself.
"No, I still have to move. There are plenty of empty apartments in this building anyway..."
After thinking about it, Wang Tao decided that 602 upstairs was a good choice.
The layout of 602 was Three Bedrooms and Two Living Rooms, which was much larger than his two-bedroom apartment. It was also very clean and suitable for living.
402 downstairs was also an option, of course, but Wang Tao felt safer living higher up. Moreover, he might be able to move the leeks to the roof to grow...
The roof was accessible, as it was where residents hung their quilts to dry. It was usually locked, and you needed to go to the Property Management to get the key when needed. Now, he didn't know who had the key. However, Wang Tao knew how to pick locks and make keys, so whether or not he had the key didn't matter much.
"Wang Tao, lunch is ready!"
At this moment, Ding Yuqin had already prepared lunch.
"Okay."
Lunch wasn't lavish, as many of the vegetables had been used up, but there was plenty of meat.
After Ding Yuqin served Wang Tao a small bowl of rice, she sat down and said,
"Wang Tao, when I opened the refrigerator just now, I saw that the Outdoor Power Supply was almost out of power..."
"Almost out of power... I see."
Wang Tao frowned.
The meat at home needed to be preserved in the refrigerator. After the power went out, he used the fully charged Outdoor Power Supply to power the refrigerator.
Although it was an energy-saving refrigerator, it still used about one kilowatt-hour of electricity per day. But the Outdoor Power Supply had a limited amount of power after all, and after a few days of use, it was almost depleted.
Unless he finishes all the food that can't be stored at room temperature in the next few days, he will have to find diesel and use a Diesel Generator.
Wang Tao originally planned to clear out the Zombies in 102 tomorrow. This was the last Zombie in this building. The day after tomorrow, he would see if he could move, and the day after that, he would find a way to go out and find diesel.
But now he has to bring the plan forward—go and clear out 102 this afternoon! Move tonight, and go out to find diesel tomorrow! In fact, Wang Tao doesn't expend much physical strength killing Zombies. The reason why he only goes out once a day is not out of fear, but for safety. If there are any sudden crises in the future, he can respond in time.
And based on the current situation, the power outage is a crisis—endangering his food safety.
So, he has to take a little risk...
After the meal, Ding Yuqin took the initiative to wash the dishes, and after washing the dishes, she helped Wang Tao wash his clothes. Wang Tao had said before that he didn't need Ding Yuqin to wash his clothes, but now the washing machine can't be used. Since Ding Yuqin is willing to help, he won't say much.
As for the water problem, although water is also precious now, stagnant water will deteriorate if stored for a long time... So use it when you need it, and find a way when there is no water.
After Ding Yuqin finished washing the clothes, Wang Tao had almost rested.
"Wang Tao, are you going out again?"
Ding Yuqin was a little surprised. She knew that Wang Tao had only gone out once a day before.
"Yes, I'm going to clear out the Zombies in room 102."
This is the last room with Zombies in this building. After cleaning 102, Building 4 can be considered completely safe.
"Then you must be careful!"
Ding Yuqin's face was full of worry.
The only time she saw Wang Tao fighting Zombies was Wang Tao's first battle, and due to the limitation of the peephole, she didn't see the whole picture.
So Ding Yuqin is not very clear about how strong Wang Tao is.
But judging from the fact that Wang Tao only went out once a day before, she felt that Wang Tao's battle with the Zombies must be very difficult... Now that Wang Tao is going out twice, it makes her even more worried.
"I will."
Wang Tao nodded.
With Ding Yuqin's help, Wang Tao was soon fully armed again. After he let Ding Yuqin go home, he came to the outside of room 102.
According to Balding Uncle, there was a family of three in room 102, a couple in their thirties and a child in elementary school.
Wang Tao doesn't know how many Zombies are inside, but he is preparing as if there are three Zombies inside.
Click~ After fiddling for a while, Wang Tao opened the door lock of 102.
As soon as he opened a crack in the door, he smelled a strong bloody, foul smell.
In just an instant, Wang Tao judged in his mind that a battle had taken place here! Wang Tao gripped the long-handled Claw Hammer in his hand, and then suddenly pulled the door open!
