BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59 - 59 Survivor Status_l
Wang Tao remembered, this Ou Yingying was one of the survivors trapped in the water plant! He still had her and that married man’s “masterpiece” saved on his phone.
He had unexpectedly made contact with them…
After thinking for a bit, Wang Tao spoke up.
“How many of you are there? What’s your situation?”
“Three of us! There are three of us in total, and one of us is a police officer! But we are trapped inside a milk tea shop, and there are zombies all around us…
wuu wuu…”
The person on the other end wept softly as they spoke.
-What’s the name of the milk tea shop? Are you injured? Let that police officer
speak.”
Wang Tao was quite curious about their current state, so he asked a few more questions.
“Si Mei Milk Tea Shop! We’re at the Si Mei Milk Tea Shop on Rui Cai Commercial Street! I’m not injured. Wei Guang—oh, that’s my companion, he s injured, but not by a bite, he’s asleep. As for Officer Han, she’s trapped in a dollar store nearby, I don’t know how she’s doing… Big brother, please save us.” Wang Tao frowned, the policewoman wasn’t with them? Then they re probably doomed!
This pair of dog man and woman were indeed scheming, but in this apocalypse, strength and courage were more important. Since they had neither strength nor courage and were cowards without anyone to protect them, they were unlikely to survive.
As for the Si Mei Milk Tea Shop, although Wang Tao hadn’t heard of it, he did know of Rui Cai Commercial Street, which was not far from Shuize University.
in other words, this group was close to the Suzaku University Survivor Base, but they got trapped before they could reach it. He didn’t know whether to consider that good or bad luck.
-How did you get trapped? What dangers are outside?”
Wang Tao continued to ask.
“We encountered a very terrifying zombie earlier, and Officer Han fired her gun to save us! Although she seemed to have killed the zombie, the gunshot attracted a large horde of zombies, and we were forced to split up. Wei Guang got injured while running away…”
A very terrifying zombie? It must have been a special zombie.
Firing a gun in the streets, the consequences were obvious.
The policewoman definitely knew the consequences, but she still fired her gun to save others. Wang Tao had to admit, although he wouldn’t be that kind of person, he still had great respect for them.
Wang Tao thought for a moment and then said: “Don’t you have any food in that milk tea shop?
-We do… but there are too many zombies outside, and they are still knocking on the door… I’m so scared, can you please send someone to rescue us…”
Send someone?
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows.
Ou Yingying clearly had a misunderstanding. She couldn’t possibly think he was from the Shuize Base, could she?
Wang Tao didn’t explain; he just continued to ask her many things.
Ou Yingying, like grasping at a lifeline, told Wang Tao everything that had happened along the way.
Of course, she didn’t go into detail about what happened inside the water plant. Having heard all this, Wang Tao had a pretty good idea of their situation. After escaping from the water plant, the three of them were quite lucky not to encounter a large number of zombies. Adding to that, Han Rui was very familiar with the roads, so before entering Rui Cai Commercial Street, their journey was full of close calls but without real danger.
Ou Yingying said that Han Rui initially didn’t want to enter Rui Cai Commercial Street. Although it could serve as a shortcut, the commercial street was bound to have many zombies.
But after observing for a while, they saw that there were hardly any zombies inside the commercial street. Instead, it appeared to be quite deserted.
Sun Weiguang thought it was an opportunity not to be missed. They had seen wandering zombies at the water plant, so maybe the zombies in the street had moved on.
Therefore, Ou Yingying agreed with Sun Weiguang. Majority rules, and the three of them entered the commercial street.
Actually, they could have passed through the commercial street safely, but when Sun Weiguang saw the milk tea shop, he insisted on getting two cups of milk tea for the ladies.
At that time, the door of the milk tea shop was open, and it looked safe inside. Han Rui allowed it since there was a zombie ahead, which she planned to sneak past and take care of. Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying went to the milk tea shop together.
But then Sun Weiguang made a noise in the milk tea shop, which suddenly attracted a terrifying zombie.
Seeing that the two were in trouble, Han Rui decisively fired her gun from a distance, hitting the zombie.
The zombie immediately switched its target and ran towards Han Rui.
Ou Yingying saw the zombie follow Han Rui into a craft store, followed by a few gunshots; the zombie fell to the ground. Han Rui was temporarily safe, but the gunshots attracted a large number of zombies.
Ou Yingying and Sun Weiguang frantically sought shelter in the milk tea shop, quickly pulling down the rolling shutter door under Han Rui’s command…
That all happened yesterday.
The current situation was that zombies swarmed outside, and Han Rui got separated from them; neither knew anything about the other’s circumstances. As for the walkie-talkie, it was because Han Rui had earlier found a small hand-cranked generator, which she had Sun Weiguang use to charge the walkie-talkie. Therefore, the walkie-talkie was in the hands of Ou Yingying and the others…
After understanding these details, Wang Tao directly said:
“You guys hold on and wait for rescue. Hang in there!”
Then, without giving the others a chance to respond, he promptly turned off the walkie-talkie.
“Wang Tao, it’s time to eat!”
Just then, Ding Yuqin came upstairs to call Wang Tao for dinner.
“Coming.”
Wang Tao slapped his bottom and went downstairs.
At the dining table, Ding Yuqin served Wang Tao his meal, and only after Wang Tao was seated did she take her own seat. Then she asked curiously:
“Wang Tao, who were you just in contact with?”
“A group of survivors, I had met them before…
Wang Tao briefly explained and shared the story about how that despicable couple deliberately endangered others.
“To think they would trade their teammates’ lives for a chance to escape… They’re really harsh!”
Ding Yuqin felt a chill in her heart; she thought she wouldn’t last a day in that kind of environment.
However, the more she thought about it, the more grateful she felt toward Wang Tao. If it weren’t for him, she would have been long dead…
“It’s the end of the world, what’s so harsh about it? If I were pushed to the brink, I might do the same. Sister-in-law, you’d better be careful.” Wang Tao said, shaking his head with a smile.
Although he spoke in jest, he knew human nature could not withstand such tests, and he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t do the same.
“You definitely wouldn’t!”
Ding Yuqin glared at Wang Tao.
Seeing that Wang Tao’s bowl was almost empty, she hastily got up to serve him more rice.
Wang Tao suddenly spoke up:
“This afternoon I’m going to take a trip to Building 3; sister-in-law, don’t wander around the house.”
“Ah? What for?”
Ding Yuqin quickly asked.
“To see if I can kill the zombies in Building 3-”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuqin immediately grasped Wang Tao’s hand with some worry.
“Could you… maybe not go? It’s too dangerous! The zombies inside the building won’t affect us anyway…”
Wang Tao wrapped his hand around her pale, delicate one.
“We have to kill the zombies because killing them makes us stronger-111 find some disabled zombies for you to try later, you’ll understand then.”
“Ah? I can’t do it…”
Ding Yuqin waved her hands in refusal.
Wang Tao glanced at her.
“Sister-in-law, not listening again? If I say you can, then you can!
His tone brooked no argument.
Ding Yuqin looked down, troubled, and fiddled with the white rice in her bowl.
“…Okay..”
