The two of them ca to room 602 and searched everywhere, taking all the usable containers to gather water. There wasnt ti to wait for the water to fill up, so Wang Tao took Ding Yuqin back downstairs to other rooms. He also took the opportunity to remind the bald uncle.

The bald uncle was also a smart man, already collecting water, but he still expressed his gratitude for Wang Taos reminder.

After being busy all morning, they finally managed to fill up all the containers in these empty apartnts with water. Wang Tao was ready to take Ding Yuqin back to cook.

Ah! Suddenly, I rember I havent stored water in my house

Ding Yuqin suddenly slapped her forehead, looking sowhat embarrassed.

Then lets go to your place first; we can cook later.

Actually, Wang Tao had forgotten as well.

Thank you!

Coming out of 201, when they got to the fourth floor, Wang Tao suddenly heard so noise from room 401.

Wang Tao didnt speak, while Ding Yuqin instinctively hid behind him, nervously clutching the corner of his clothes.

She didnt know there were survivors inside; she thought they were zombies.

Wang Tao made a hushing gesture and then went to the front of room 401 to listen closely.

He faintly heard a mans voice inside cursing under his breath, complaining about the power outage that caused him to be unable to play his gas, but as he cursed, he began to cry.

Wang Tao was sowhat speechless. Is electricity really the focus right now? It should be how to survive from now on!

Ding Yuqin obviously heard the voice inside too but, unlike Wang Taos bafflent, she could sowhat understand why the person would be addicted to gaming.

It wasnt because the gas were so much fun, but because he had already given up hope. He didnt want to face this world of despair; he was escaping reality.

If I didnt have Wang Tao, maybe Id be the sa

Ding Yuqin felt a bit relieved in her heart.

Lets go.

Wang Tao shook his head. After all, it was soone elses affair, and he didnt want to ddle too much.

Reaching the fifth floor, Ding Yuqin invited Wang Tao into her apartnt.

Its a bit ssy inside

Ding Yuqin was slightly embarrassed.

This was Wang Taos first visit to her place.

Ding Yuqins apartnt had the sa layout as the one upstairs, 602, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. However, her ho was decorated more cozily and felt more lived-in.

The ss she referred to was the pile of filmmaking props in the living room.

These are all from Brother Zhaos work; he doesnt let tidy them up Dont mind the ss in the house.

Its not much different from my place.

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head; if it werent for Ding Yuqins help, his place would be even ssier.

Lets get water first.

Okay.

After being busy for a while and preparing all the usable containers, with all the taps open, Ding Yuqin said to Wang Tao:

Wang Tao, Ill watch over it. It will take a while to fill up the bathtub with water. You can sit for a bit

Alright.

Wang Tao nodded in agreent, but didnt sit down; instead, he walked around her apartnt.

Her living room was spacious with excellent natural lighting.

A huge picture fra hung on the wall above the sofa.

In the photo, a woman in a white bridal gown intimately held the arm of the man beside her, her face beaming with joy. The man in formal attire gazed at the woman with deep affection, his eyes tender as water Under the bright sunshine, they seed to be glowing.

The people on top were indeed Ding Yuqin and her husband Zhao Yuan.

Next to the sofa, there was a floor-standing coat rack with a pure white strapless wedding dress hanging on it.

This was the sa style as the one Ding Yuqin wore in her wedding photos, or perhaps it was the very sa dress. It was normal for wealthy people to purchase their favorite wedding dresses.

Wang Tao glanced at the photo and then at the wedding dress.

It was said that those with smaller busts couldnt pull off this type of wedding dress, and he always felt that so parts of Ding Yuqin in the picture had traces of photoshopping. Unfortunately, he had no way to prove it.

Wang Tao, Ill get you a glass of water!

Ding Yuqin ca out of the bathroom; she felt it was inappropriate to invite Wang Tao into her ho without offering even a glass of water.

Although it was the apocalypse, it was still early days, and she retained the courtesy she had before.

By the ti Ding Yuqin ca over with a glass of water, Wang Tao suddenly asked:

Brother Zhao had contacted you earlier, hadnt he? How is he doing now?

He Im afraid his chances are slim.

Talking about her husband, Ding Yuqins face instantly showed a hint of sorrow.

He went to the film city for work early that day. After the virus outbreak, he kept sending ssages, asking to hold on for rescue. But the day before the network went down, he stopped ssaging. No matter how I ssaged him, he wouldnt reply sob sob

As she spoke of her sorrow, Ding Yuqin covered her face and cried.

Brother Zhao is blessed by the heavens, and perhaps he is safe now. Maybe hes not replying because his phones battery has died. Sister-in-law, dont worry too much

Wang Tao consoled her.

Sigh, its impossible. He told at that ti that he had borrowed a power bank, look, if you dont believe

Ding Yuqin, while dabbing her tears, picked up her phone from the table.

Though the internet was down now, the chat software still revealed the local chat history.

However, after flipping to the chat history, she suddenly blushed and put her phone away.

Ahem, the records were deleted um, Ill go check if the water is filled.

Ding Yuqin wiped her tears and quickly left with her pink and white sneakers.

She was obviously lying, but Wang Tao thought it might be because she had so private ssages with Zhao Yuan that she didnt want outsiders to see, so he didnt mind.

But in reality, in the chat history between Ding Yuqin and Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan had said so things about Wang Tao that werent very nice, and Ding Yuqin dared not show them to Wang Tao. Otherwise, if Wang Tao got upset and stopped looking after her, she could only wait to die

When the apocalypse arrived, Zhao Yuan couldnt make it back, so all he could do was comfort Ding Yuqin while trying to figure sothing out. Then Zhao Yuan heard from other survivors that Wang Tao was at ho.

In terms of physical fitness, n definitely had an advantage over won. In a chaotic environnt, having a man around was certainly more convenient, especially soone like Wang Tao who was strong and imposing.

The couple, Zhao Yuan and Ding Yuqin, were neighbors with Wang Tao. Although their relationship with Wang Tao wasnt particularly close, it was at least not bad.

So, Zhao Yuan ssaged Wang Tao, hoping that Wang Tao could take care of Ding Yuqin. After the chaos subsided, he would definitely thank Wang Tao.

But Wang Tao didnt reply to any ssages.

At the ti of the apocalypse, a saying was circulating in so small circles: the better ones physical condition, the less likely they were to beco infected with the virus; the worse ones physical condition, the more susceptible they were to infection.

Wang Tao also saw this baseless claim online later, and he didnt agree with it. Instead, he felt it was an excuse concocted by so people who wanted to abandon the weak and the vulnerable.

But it didnt matter if he believed it or not, others did. For example, Zhao Yuan believed it.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan suspected that Wang Tao was deliberately not replying to his ssages and didnt want to help his wife.

Of course, suspicion was just suspicion; Zhao Yuan continued to ssage Wang Tao courteously.

But in his chats with Ding Yuqin, Zhao Yuan cursed Wang Tao, complaining about all the bad things Wang Tao had done and threatening to make Wang Tao pay in the future.

This was actually a display of impotent rage.

Zhao Yuan loved his wife dearly and didnt want her to get hurt.

But sadly, he was powerless.
