Inside the hotel.
Li Yahong sat at the table, propping up her chin and gazing intently at Wu Heng as he ate.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” asked Wu Heng.
Li Yahong tilted her head back and smiled, still watching him, “You look so clean and nice.”
“Are you sick or something? Your tone is like a ruffian’s.” Wu Heng was somewhat speechless.
“Maybe I am!” Li Yahong retorted playfully, throwing him a flirtatious glance.
Wu Heng grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
He reached around her back to undo her clasp and laid it across her chest.
“You, always stirring things up and then ignoring the consequences, don’t you have any sense of responsibility?” Wu Heng spoke bluntly.
With one hand draped over his shoulder and her legs swinging in the air, Li Yahong responded, “Letting you touch me casually isn’t considered responsible enough? The environment here is terrible, even the air stinks. I don’t feel like doing anything.”
After a slight pause, she said shyly, “Sooner or later, I’m all yours. What’s the rush?”
If Wu Heng insisted.
Li Yahong would no doubt agree.
But as she mentioned, the environment here was pretty bad.
It was not a suitable place for Li Yahong.
Wu Heng did not force the issue. He lowered his head to rest against her chest, “I’ll listen to you!”
“Gentle.” Li Yahong said gently, cradling his head in her arms.
After a while.
They separated. As Li Yahong buttoned up her coat, she asked, “Are we moving all these goods back or leaving them here first?”
The sudden appearance of all sorts of strange goods no longer surprised Li Yahong.
She did not want to pry into the secrets of her man.
Even if she did, she might find it hard to comprehend the reasons behind them.
As long as their current lifestyle could continue and further progress, that was all that mattered.
Overthinking in this world would only drive one mad.
Wu Heng replied, “We don’t need to take these back. Your convoy just needs to grab all the supplies from the shops and get ready for winter.”
There was no use of cloth, spices, and some ore in the prison, the main thing was waiting till Lundham City ended, and taking it back for resale.
Running back and forth was time-consuming and laborious.
It’s better to leave them here as long as they’re kept well and not soiled or damaged.
“Alright!” Li Yahong walked over and turned her back to him, “Help me fasten this.”
Wu Heng walked over and began to fasten her buttons as he said, “I’ve also cleared out the nearby residential areas. Let Qiangzi and his team go and gather resources.”
“You’ve been working so hard lately. We have enough resources in the prison for the winter, there’s no need to rush.” Li Yahong said.
“Um, it’s best to gather as much as possible,” Wu Heng replied casually, continuing, “Oh, next time you come, bring the heavy machine guns from the wall…um, bring two. I’ll need them.”
Li Yahong was somewhat puzzled.
Guns still had power, but they were not particularly effective against zombies.
Also, the prison didn’t have much ammunition.
She couldn’t figure out why they needed to bring them.
But since Wu Heng needed them, she didn’t want to question further. Then, she immediately realized something and asked, “But what if the skeletons guarding the wall won’t let me take the guns?”
The skeletons only obeyed Wu Heng amongst all the living.
Unless given the order to obey someone else’s commands, no one else could control the skeletons.
Going ahead and doing something against Wu Heng’s orders might get her attacked by the skeletons.
Li Yahong didn’t want to die at the hands of a skeleton because of a moment’s negligence.
“I’ll let Big Head know. It’ll go with you and give the skeletons the command,” Wu Heng replied.
“Okay.”
The couple briefly discussed their upcoming plans and straightened their clothes.
Together, they left the building.
Wu Heng ordered the skeletons to assemble, while Li Yahong took out a map to explain to Qiangzi and his team where they could transport resources from.
Once everything was ready, they set out together.
They went to a new location to continue their fight against the zombies.
…
As dusk approached.
Wu Heng returned with a large group of skeletons.
The skeletons piled the bodies they carried on their shoulders across from the hotel.
They had cleared out four residential areas of zombie hordes in the afternoon.
Though their experience had increased, they still had a long way to go before they could level up.
Among the spoils, apart from piles of bodies, they also found one gold bar weighing 100 grams and twelve weighing 10 grams each in two banks they searched along the road.
This was an unexpected delight.
Inside the hotel lobby.
“Why don’t you come back with me? Then we can return together.” Li Yahong suggested.
Wu Heng shook his head, “Sooner or later, I’m all yours. Why the rush?”
“Who’s rushing!” Li Yahong shot him a glare.
“I’ll be back in a few days.” Wu Heng patted her head, “Oh, and when you get back, visit the Alchemy Skeleton again and bring back some mental and healing elixirs, and those Corpse Core elixirs too, their production speed needs to be increased.”
“Why do you think your skeletons will listen to me?” Li Yahong queried.
“The Alchemy Skeleton is highly intelligent, there’s no difference between it and a normal person. As long as you speak normally, it will understand you.” Wu Heng replied with a smile.
“Fine then!”
Li Yahong draped her arms over his shoulders, looked into his eyes, and then closed her own.
Wu Heng held the back of her head and gently kissed her.
After a while, they separated.
Only then did Li Yahong say, “I’m leaving, see you next time.”
“Don’t forget the machine guns and the elixirs.”
“Rest assured, I might forget the car, but I won’t forget your stuff.”
Li Yahong left and boarded the bus.
After waving goodbye, she departed swiftly with the convoy.
