Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Liars, all liars! 1

Translator: 549690339 |

Ding Yuqin had wanted to sleep at home, hoping to see Wang Tao safe and sound when she woke up.

But with Wang Tao not around, she felt so insecure that she couldn’t fall asleep at all.

So, she watched Wang Tao from the balcony.

Due to the angle, she didn’t see how Wang Tao left Building No. 4 or how he avoided the zombies, but she saw him effortlessly scale the courtyard wall and dodge the zombies.

This made Ding Yuqin a bit excited.

“Wang Tao is so strong, nothing will go wrong with him!”

She couldn’t see what happened to Wang Tao after he climbed over the wall; she could only see part of the street. Nevertheless, she stayed on the balcony, occasionally glancing toward the entrance of the community, with her hands busy sewing a black mask.

This was a double-layered mask, with a white skull’s big mouth on it. Wang Tao had seen a garment with a skull head on it before, and he thought that cutting out the skull head and sewing it onto the mask would definitely look cool.

However, Wang Tao had only mentioned this idea casually because these fancy accessories that didn’t increase fighting ability weren’t his priority. He would rather spend that time training. Moreover, his sewing skills were inadequate.

But Ding Yuqin took his words to heart. Since she didn’t have much to do at home, she decisively helped Wang Tao sew a handsome new mask.

Just as she finished sewing the mask, she saw the zombies in the community downstairs becoming more frenzied, followed by a faint buzzing noise.

She didn’t know what was happening, but the sight of the frenzy outside sent her heart racing.

“Wang Tao, you must be okay…”

The noise outside grew louder, the zombies downstairs became more frenzied, and Ding Yuqin’s anxiety and excitement intensified.

“It sounds like a plane…”

She hadn’t seen the cargo plane, but she had been on planes before, and the noise was similar. She guessed that it might be a plane passing by.

Her nervousness was naturally for Wang Tao, while the excitement came from the thought of the government’s rescue.

However, after living through so many days of the apocalypse, she had completely lost hope in the idea of rescue.

Even now, hearing the sound of a plane, she didn’t dare to harbor too much hope.

After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

She had now pinned all her hopes on Wang Tao. Wang Tao had promised her he wouldn’t abandon her!

And just as Ding Yuqin prayed for Wang Tao to return quickly, she suddenly heard another roar. But this sound wasn’t from above; it was at the entrance of the community.

She quickly focused her gaze and saw a white pickup truck suddenly backing out from a small alley, then sharply swerved ninety degrees, positioning the driver’s side towards Happy Community.

“That’s… Wang Tao!”

Ding Yuqin suddenly clenched the mask in her hands with some excitement. Although the distance was too far for her to see the driver’s face clearly, she was too familiar with Wang Tao’s build and his head-to-toe black armed gear! “Is he planning to drive the car back to the community? He must have gotten a lot of supplies! That’s great—”

Ding Yuqin’s monologue suddenly stuttered.

Because she realized that Wang Tao wasn’t driving into the community but heading directly towards another street. In the blink of an eye, she could only see the two red tail lights on the white pickup truck.

“He… left?”

Ding Yuqin’s expression became somewhat blank.

Thud—

The newly sewn mask fell to the ground from her hands.

“He promised me, if he had the strength left, he wouldn’t abandon me… He obviously still had the strength…”

“Liar!”

“All liars!”

“Sob sob…”

Ten minutes earlier.

After agonizing for a few seconds, Wang Tao decided to go for the airdrop.

As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for the prepared. The airdrop wasn’t far from him, and if he failed to seize this chance, who knew when the next one would come—if there would even be a next time.

Moreover, Wang Tao desired the airdrop not just for the resources inside; he was more eager to learn the current state of the outside world and the Government; to know if there was a chance of restoring order; if the Government had any deeper understanding of the apocalypse…

He was certain the Government would leave information in the airdrop.

So, this was an opportunity.

Conveniently, there was a pickup truck outside, filled with gas. The airdrop had fallen in a less crowded area where there were relatively fewer vehicles on the road… Most importantly, he had two Stealth Potions—a source of confidence! Wang Tao wasn’t too fond of taking risks, but now with so many favorable conditions before him, he felt the risk was worth taking!

Thus, Wang Tao picked up the car keys, opened the pickup truck door, and loaded all the supplies he had just gathered onto the vehicle.

Then, with a skilled reverse and drift, he floored the accelerator before the distant zombies could react.

Boom—

The white pickup truck roared away as several zombies at the roadside choked on its exhaust.

Inside the vehicle.

Wang Tao felt the wind passing by his ears and watched the houses swiftly fly by, feeling a swell of pride in his heart.

Who says you have to hide at home during the apocalypse?

Wasn’t he having fun outside?

Seeing some zombies on the road, Wang Tao extended his middle finger, offering them an international friendly gesture, and courteously inquired about the health of their family members.

Soon, the vehicle approached a residential square. Several abandoned vehicles blocked the entrance, and Wang Tao remembered there were quite a few zombies inside the square. He immediately reduced speed, trying to be as quiet as possible, then sought a path through.

At the entrance of the square, a skinny female zombie was hanging its head low.

As the pickup approached, it slowly lifted its head, revealing a gaping mouth that stretched to its ears, then it opened its mouth even wider.

Then—

“Ahh—”

A piercing Screaming sound, like fingernails on glass, erupted from its mouth.

Wang Tao, inside the truck, jumped in shock.

“What the hell!”

He looked towards the source and saw the female zombie with the wide-open mouth.

“Huh? It only has [200/200] HP?”

But before Wang Tao could express his surprise, he saw a large group of zombies in the distant square awakened by the Screaming, turning their heads one after another towards the pickup, then walking and even Running towards Wang Tao’s location!

“Damn it!”

Seeing at least a hundred zombies charging toward him, Wang Tao could no longer worry about finding a way through. He whipped the steering wheel around and drove straight into the Screaming zombie.

Bang—

[-34]

[-166]

[0/200]

The Screaming zombie was first struck and sent flying, then its head was crushed under the wheels of the truck, killing it instantly!

Wang Tao, with one hand out the window, willed the Screaming zombie’s drop bag into his body after it died—he had tested earlier that as long as he was within about three meters from a zombie, he could absorb the transparent bag. Without even looking at what the zombie dropped, he floored the gas pedal again, and the unrelenting pickup continued on, crashing into the back of an abandoned sedan ahead.

Bang!

A loud crash sounded, the abandoned vehicle was shoved aside, while the pickup shuddered violently, its body twirling uncontrollably.

Wang Tao jerked the steering wheel twice in quick succession, forcibly stabilizing the vehicle.

Glancing in the rear-view mirror at the horde of at least a hundred ferocious zombies in pursuit, Wang Tao stepped on the gas once more.

“Damn it, I can’t afford to show off like this anymore!”
