98 Yet Another Wave of Problems
The group returned to Cuidi Lake Garden, exhausted, around six in the evening.
You Cheng, Luo Feng, and the others knew about the Tang family’s plans, but they hadn’t returned after a long time, so they were prepared to go locate them.
Just as they reached the main gate, they bumped into them.
“Who is this?” When he saw Tang Mingqi and Tang Mingchu carrying a tall man out of the car, he was surprised by what little he could glimpse under the darkness.
Mr. Tang patted him on the shoulder. “You must be tired from searching for supplies today. Here, the water in the car is for you and the others. It’s not much, so don’t mind it.”
“No thanks. We should be the one giving you supplies…” You Cheng felt like he owed the Tang family more and more.
“I… Uncle Tang, about the matter I told you earlier…” Even though he knew that they were very tired from rushing back here, You Cheng was feeling inexplicably anxious. He wanted to confirm this matter quickly, or else he felt that he would regret it.
Seeing that he was about to mention it again, Mr. Tang promptly yawned. “We’ll talk about it tomorrow. We haven’t even eaten yet.”
You Cheng could only give up.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng could see his uneasiness from far away.
“I want to marry Tang Susu.”
“What?!” Luo Feng almost choked on those words. “You didn’t even court her and you want to marry her already? You even approached her father to discuss it. Are you into arranged marriages?”
You Cheng shook his head. “She likes me and has always wanted to marry me.”
“What?!” The man looked at him with a strange expression on his face. “How does she like you? That Ying Chengya, on the other hand… I don’t know if she’s secretly in love with you, but she’s always looking for an opportunity to talk about this and that about you.”
You Cheng frowned in disgust and thought of Tang Susu’s rejection that day …
“Luo, how bad are your eyes? Tang Susu has liked me since middle school. She has liked me for so long… How can she say that she doesn’t like me anymore?”
You Cheng’s words were firm, as if he was trying to convince Luo Feng, but it was more like he was trying to convince himself. There was a faint sense of irritation in his tone.
“Alright. I have bad eyesight. You can do it. Try to take them with you when you leave.”
Seeing that he still didn’t believe him, You Cheng felt a little defeated.
It seemed that he had to apologize to Tang Susu. It must be because of his bad attitude in the past that she was treating him like that…
Tang Susu didn’t know that You Cheng was reassuring himself. On the way back, she killed another wave of zombies and many T2s. She was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.
While she was still in her sleep, her mother seemed to have helped her drink some porridge and even wiped her body clean.
When she opened her eyes again, the sun outside the window shone directly into her bed and onto the corner of her blanket. It was already the next morning.
She wrapped herself in the soft blanket and stretched lazily on the big bed. She rolled for a while before she finally got up in one go.
She had nothing planned today, so she went to learn how to fly a helicopter from Luo Feng. She had to join the guards at night, too.
Other than that, there was also the A-Rank mission of collecting 2 billion worth of resources.
If she was only looking for ordinary supplies, who knew how long it would take her?
In order to save time, Tang Susu wanted to find some large, valuable items, such as medical equipment. Some machines were worth hundreds of millions, and perhaps they would be of use one day…
She yawned and went upstairs. She wanted to ask where they had left the fainted man, but she couldn’t find her family after looking around the villa.
Tang Susu’s expression turned serious. Any small signs could make her nervous in this post-apocalyptic world.
“Dad, mom?”
“Big brother…” Tang Susu walked to the door and saw a few people guarding it. They were from the rescue team earlier.
The moment they saw her, they said anxiously, “Xiaoyuan is missing. Everyone’s looking for her, including your family. Don’t panic, Ms. Tang!”
Xiaoyuan? That brave and likable girl is gone?
