“Don’t be nervous, just take your time.”

Wang Tao, supporting Ding Yuqin, came out and saw the figure lying on the ground, Ding Yuqin instinctively clung tightly to Wang Tao’s waist.

“He, he’s gone mad! He wanted to commit suicide with us! And then…”

Ding Yuqin trembled as she recounted what had happened.

It turned out that the day after Wang Tao had left, the glasses-wearing man from 401 took the initiative to come out and invited the bald man downstairs and Ding Yuqin to his apartment as guests.

Of course, saying it was to entertain guests was an overstatement since he didn’t have much to offer; it was really just to discuss what to do in the future. Ding Yuqin originally didn’t want to go out, but since she thought Wang Tao had abandoned her and left alone, she felt the only way to survive was to save herself, so she went out.

The bald uncle also came out, after all, the glasses-wearing man seemed very normal, and both he and the bald uncle thought he truly wanted to unite everyone for self-rescue.

Unexpectedly, after inviting everyone out, the glasses-wearing man suddenly went to open the unit door while no one was paying attention and let the zombies in!

His home had long been out of supplies, and with the power, water, and internet cut off… he had been driven mad by the apocalypse!

The mentally unstable glasses-wearing man wanted to take everyone down with him!

The glasses-wearing man thought death was no big deal, but after seeing how ferocious the zombies were, he suddenly chickened out…

The betrayed Ding Yuqin and the bald uncle didn’t have time to get back to their homes, so they had no choice but to hide in the glasses-wearing man’s house.

In his house, the bald uncle naturally wanted to settle scores with the glasses-wearing man, but after the latter’s tearful apologies, claiming he had been blinded by insanity, he managed to convince the kind-hearted bald uncle Although Ding Yuqin no longer trusted the glasses-wearing man, she was, after all, a frail woman; if the zombies came, she would still need their protection, so she didn’t say anything and just kept a close watch on the glasses-wearing man.

And so, the group stayed inside 401 for two days, but there was no food and very little water in his house. All three of them were struggling to hold on.

At this time, most of the zombies in the corridor had left, with only one upstairs.

Therefore, the bald uncle suggested going downstairs to his place to get some things, as he still had some food Wang Tao had given him.

But he was afraid that the glasses-wearing man would harm Ding Yuqin, so he proposed that he go together with him and have Yuqin stay at home to keep watch.

Hearing there was food, the glasses-wearing man instantly perked up and agreed there was no problem. Then he and the bald uncle sneakily slipped out.

But after the two left, something happened downstairs that drew a zombie and they both ran back.

When Ding Yuqin opened the door, the glasses-wearing man suddenly pulled her out and opened the door-he wanted to drag everyone down together again!

By then, his mind had already become abnormal.

As Yuqin was about to be bitten by a zombie, the bald uncle desperately charged at the glasses-wearing man, pulling Yuqin back inside, but he himself got bitten… In the final moments, the bald uncle forcefully shut the door to 401, and as the two men struggled, the glasses-wearing man’s keys got lost too.

The bald uncle resolutely dragged the zombie down the stairs with him.

Yuqin frantically hid in the bedroom and locked it from the inside.

Since the glasses-wearing man didn’t have the keys, and since he hadn’t eaten before, he didn’t have the strength to break open the bedroom door, so the two were stuck in a standoff from yesterday until today.

But when the glasses-wearing man had gone down previously with the bald uncle, he had managed to get some food from the bald uncle’s place. So as long as he recovered some strength, he could probably break open the bedroom door by ramming it.

By then, Yuqin would surely die. After all, she was originally not as physically Strong as the glasses-wearing man and hadn’t eaten for days; she had no way to resist.

And just when Yuqin was at her most desperate, Wang Tao arrived like God himself, appearing right in front of her!

After listening to Ding Yuqin’s rough explanation, Wang Tao looked at the glasses-wearing man as if he were looking at a dead man, then he said somewhat displeased:

“Sis-in-law, didn’t I tell you to hide in the house and not come out! Why did you go out?”

“I… I won’t do it again…”

Ding Yuqin hung her head slightly, not daring to meet Wang Tao’s eyes.

Right then, Wang Tao seemed to remember something and suddenly asked:

“Do you think I abandoned you and left on my own?”

When he went after the airdrop, he drove there, so if Ding Yuqin had been by the window, she could have seen it. Most people would probably assume that Wang Tao was planning to leave on his own.

II II

Ding Yuqin really wanted to say yes, but she didn’t dare.

She was afraid that her distrust would annoy Wang Tao, and only when she lost Wang Tao did she realize how much she needed him.

In the few days that Wang Tao was gone, she truly understood what the apocalypse was!

Seeing that Ding Yuqin remained silent, Wang Tao knew what was probably going on.

”Stupid woman! Even if I really had left, couldn’t you have asked the bald guy to unlock the door to my room? You know I have food in there. But you chose to trust a stranger instead? Really—”

Wang Tao reproached irritably.

The death of the bald man made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. Although they had been strangers before, the man had taught him the entire set of lock-picking skills, and he had a good personality, not one of those greedy types. Wang Tao had a good impression of him.

And yet such a man had died like that…

“I’m sorry… I… sob sob…”

It was the first time Wang Tao had been so harsh to Ding Yuqin, and it instantly frightened her. Clutching the corner of her clothes, she apologized with teary eyes.

“Ah, okay, okay… It’s not your fault…”

Seeing Ding Yuqin’s haggard and fearful appearance, Wang Tao couldn’t bear to say more. After all, she only had 10 drops of HP left. He was really afraid she might die if he continued.

Wang Tao helped Ding Yuqin to sit in a chair, then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to her.

Ding Yuqin swallowed, but hesitated to take it.

Wang Tao straightforwardly brushed aside Ding Yuqin’s messy hair and somewhat roughly stuffed the dark chocolate into her mouth.

“Eat!”

“Mmm…”

After seeing that Ding Yuqin could still eat, Wang Tao then turned his attention to the glasses-wearing man on the floor.

The man with glasses only had [5/100] HP left. He didn’t have much HP to begin with and had been severely beaten by Wang Tao, now nearing a state of death.

Wang Tao strode over and, grabbing the man’s collar, pulled him up from the ground.

“Spa-spare me…”

The man with glasses started speaking with a tremble.

Without a word, Wang Tao grabbed his throat and then forcefully squeezed. Crack!

[-5]

[0/100]

“Ugh—”

The man with glasses’ eyes bulged, his pupils slowly losing focus.

Ding Yuqin, who had been eating the chocolate with her head down, shuddered all over.

Wang Tao looked back at her.

“Sister-in-law, stay here for now. I’ll be right back. Don’t go running off again.” “O-okay….”
