"I—I just want you to prepare a warm bath for me as well, if you don't mind, of course. My body feels so sticky right now."
"Oh, surely, Master! Lieutenant, please help me lit the fire."
"Chirp!"
Roselia and Lt. Spicy Wing went to the kitchen to start cooking and set up a warm bath for their Master while Yang Zhang and the rest of his pets were waiting in the living room.
Yang Zhang checked his phone to pass the time. Since there was no more internet provider after the apocalypse, Yang Zhang used his phone to look at his old pictures, especially his pictures with his grandparents since he didn't have any parents.
"Pii?"
"Hehe, they are my grandparents. They died when I was in high school. I was born fatherless and was soon motherless as well," Yang Zhang replied. "I was raised by my poor grandparents until I got a job in the city. That's why I'm used to living alone like this, hehe."
"Vii?" Little Ivy asked when she saw Yang Zhang taking a selfie with a girl.
"Oh, haha! This is Liling, she was my girlfriend for 1 week, so we haven't done anything intimate, just a few dates. But she went to another province before the apocalypse started. I lost contact with her after that, though, so I'm not sure what she is up to— or whether she is still alive right now," Yang Zhang replied.
"Vii! Vii!"
"Hm? What is it? You want to be my girlfriend? Haha, you're already clinging to me every hour. I think you're already my girlfriend at this point," Yang Zhang joked.
It seemed that Little Ivy didn't know the concept of a lover, maybe because her mind was still pretty immature, so if Little Ivy was a human, she would be a 5 years old little girl who would say love, marriage, or girlfriend innocently.
And Yang Zhang just went along with it.
"Viii!" Little Ivy was happy and hugged Yang Zhang's arm tighter. Meanwhile, Poddie was staring at Little Ivy and Master Yang Zhang, and then asked;
"Pii? Pii?"
"Oh, you want to be my girlfriend too?" Yang Zhang asked. "But you're a boy, Poddie."
"Pii…" Poddie looked sad after the rejection.
Yang Zhang sighed. Really, both Ivy and Poddie were basically little kids. "Fine, you can be my girlfriend too. I guess everyone can be my girlfriend," Yang Zhang said.
"Pii!" Poddie hugged Yang Zhang's nose like usual as a sign of dependency.
Chestnut was looking outside and seemed to have noticed something.
"Squeak…"
"Huh? What is it, Chestnut?" Yang Zhang heard Chestnut was mumbling over something.
"Squeak," Chestnut pointed at something outside.
Yang Zhang got up and peeked from the window. He saw a silhouette standing far from the hut. From the shape, it was either a short man or a big monkey that stood with two feet.
It could also be something else, this was the apocalypse, so mutated animals weren't that uncommon. It was hard to determine the identity of the silhouette at dusk in this dark forest.
It was already dusk and would be dark soon, so Yang Zhang also hesitated to check, afraid there might be stray zombies that jumped on him. He was also in bad condition right now.
The silhouette stood in the same spot, unmoving, and it seemed to be staring in the direction of Yang Zhang's hut.
Yang Zhang decided to close the window and check it tomorrow morning to see if the thing was still standing in the same position.
"Squeak?"
"Oh no, don't go there. It seems dangerous. Who knows, it might be a dangerous animal or zombie," Yang Zhang said. "Let's just sit inside the house for now. We will check it tomorrow."
"Squeak!"

Roselia came to Yang Zhang with a bowl of instant rice with a cracker as a side dish.
"Master, this is your food, and the warm bathtub is ready. I can help you whenever you like, Master," Roselia said.
Yang Zhang raised his brow suspiciously, but he decided to dispel his suspicion for now because he was starving.
Roselia wanted to spoon-feed Yang Zhang, but the latter said that he could eat it himself.
While he was eating, he saw Chestnut and Spicy Wing also ate their small meals, but the plants didn't eat at all.
It was already a long unanswered question for Yang Zhang. Thus he asked, "Roselia, what do you eat? I never saw you, Poddie, and Little Ivy eat anything."
"Pii?"
"Vii! Vii!"
"Ahahah, Master, we don't eat like you or Chestnut and Spicy Wing. In order for us to eat, we just need to root ourselves inside fertile soil, and get nutrients from the sun, just like all plants should be. I've taught Little Ivy and Poddie to root in the backyard as well because the land is very fertile."
"Vii!"
"Really, it's very fertile?"
"Indeed, Master," Roselia nodded. "The land around the hut is very fertile and good for plants. You can plant anything, and it would definitely grow quick and healthy!"
"Pii!"
Little Ivy and Poddie also confirmed the same thing. The land was very fertile and good for them.
This made Yang Zhang ponder for a moment.
'Maybe I should really start thinking about my job as a farmer in the apocalypse. It would be great in the long run,' Yang Zhang thought.
After he had filled his stomach, he walked to the bathroom in the backyard for a bath.
Just like a most rural or isolated house, the bathroom and washroom were in the backyard, separated from the main house, so it was a bit creepy at night without a lamp.
Luckily, Spicy Wing and Roselia took the time to set up a torch near the bathtub, so it wasn't as dark.
Yang Zhang was about to take off his shirt, but he glanced at the woman beside him and blushed slightly, "W—Why are you still here?"
"Master, I will help wash your back," Roselia said.
"I—I can do it myself. You should go back—WHA!" Yang Zhang quickly closed his eyes when he saw the rose petals on Roselia's dress suddenly fall, exposing her bare body in front of her Master.
Yang Zhang had a quick look before he closed his eyes, with only a torch giving a glimpse of her figure. Yang Zhang noticed that Roselia had quite a pair of perky boobs, probably a C cup, with inverted nips. She had a nice figure, with an obvious curve on her hips.
She had stitches on her body, but honestly, it wasn't that bad.
Or maybe it was because of Yang Zhang, who got used to seeing the stitches and the ashen grey body. Otherwise, Roselia was a true beauty.
Yang Zhang was about to open his eyes again, at least to peek at what was down under, but it was too late because Roselia suddenly dipped inside the bathtub and sat there, waiting for Yang Zhang.
'Ah, damn it, I don't want to ask her to show something. That would make me sound like a big pervert!'
Roselia had a light smile on her face. She didn't mind showing her perky boobs to her master, "Master, the water is warm… I think. You should dip in."
"Why are you in my bathtub?" Yang Zhang asked, trying to be virtuous.
"Because it's my duty to wash your back, Master. I can also give you a massage," Roselia said. This time, Yang Zhang felt that Roselia had a slight tint of blush on her face, maybe she was a bit embarrassed, but she took everything in the name of duty.
Yang Zhang wanted to refuse because he already had an erection right now, so he was a bit embarrassed.
But it seemed that Roselia really wanted to do this maid duty or whatsoever, so Yang Zhang took a deep breath and then turned around to undress, so Roselia couldn't see his rock-hard dick right now.
Yang Zhang dipped into the bathtub. The temperature was just right, and Yang Zhang stretched his feet inside the tub.
The tub was actually long enough for him to lay flat, but since Roselia was sitting behind his back, he could only sit in the bathtub awkwardly.
"Master, why don't you rest your back? Aren't you tired?" Roselia asked. "Or do you want me to wash your back now? I just think that you should rest inside this warm water first before I wash your back, Master…."
"W—Well, you're still in the tub with me, so I don't have enough space to lay right now," Yang Zhang replied honestly.
"Master, who said you don't have a space to lay?" Roselia asked. She seemed to be surprised by Master Yang Zhang's answer. She started massaging her perky breast in a circular motion, thinking it would make her breast softer and plumper at the same time.
"Master, you have my body. You can lay your head on my breasts.. I think it's very comfortable to lay on," Rosalie said.
