Zhang Xiao Qiang saw that Yang Ke'er was throwing a tantrum again, and wanted to lecture her. However, he saw that as she was pouting, she was secretly observing him out of the corner of her eyes. She saw that he was looking at her and immediately turned to face him.
Seeing half of the items moved, Zhang Xiao Qiang also felt that he might have taken advantage of Yang Ke'er. The majority of the work was done by her. Yet he and Yuan Yi had been helping out a little. He sucked in a breath of air and felt a headache coming on. How should he convince her?
"This…Ke'er ah, do you know that if things are left outside, they will go bad?" He replied in an amiable manner.
"Hmph, so what? As long as we head out to collect some, we would be ok if we don't meet a BOSS right?" Yang Ke'er was obviously treating the zombies as her own security guards over other stashes of resources. To her, at that time all she had to do was kill them and reach for their items, which wasn't a problem.
"Ke'er ah, if you say we're strong, and steal whatever we want, what if everything outside goes bad?" Zhang Xiao Qiang was seriously trying to educate her.
"Aiya, Hubby, aren't you annoying! At that time we can just look for those that haven't gone bad, plus…." She lowered her head after shooting Yuan Yi a look and said softly: "We still have that treasure cave!"
Hearing Yang Ke'er call him 'Hubby', Zhang Xiao Qiang had a flash of inspiration, time to use the 'saving one's generations' tactic.
"Ke'er ah, do you think we will have kids in the future?" He felt like a perverted uncle dangling a candy in front of a kid, while Yang Ke'er was like an innocent loli in front of him.
She tilted her head to think before she smiled brightly: "Yes! Our baby would definitely be pretty and cute, I'll feed the baby candy, and watch it call me mama!"
"Aren't you afraid of tooth decay?" He muttered, before continuing: "Not just one, but a bunch, a huge bunch."
Yang Ke'er nodded: "I know, it's just not in the plans right now. We'll see how it goes. Should we have more boys? Or more girls?"
Seeing her racking her brains over his kids in the future, he felt out of sorts, she was still lacking in 'certain areas', what if they have no milk, will they just die of starvation?
"So you must think, our kids will have their own kids, their kids are your grandchildren, the grandchildren…" He had not finished speaking when Yang Ke'er immediately cut him off.
"I don't want to become a granny… I don't want to become old so fast, ah~~~~~ Face full of wrinkles and mouth with no teeth, it's extremely ugly!!" Yang Ke'er seemed to be opposed to having grandchildren, she didn't think that she was only 14, how to become a grandmother?
"You can rest at ease, you won't become old, that thing I gave you to drink previously was a special treasure. You downed everything, it was water from the legendary fountain of youth, you won't turn old."
In order to convince Yang Ke'er, Zhang Xiao Qiang was basically running his mouth off. If it wasn't too fantastical, he was sure it was a mistake she would catch on.
"Haha, really?" Yang Ke'er rubbed her face slightly, pleased when suddenly she seemed to have thought of something.
"Oh no! Then won't our daughter not have the fountain of youth?" Yang Ke'er was now worried about the daughter that didn't even exist yet.
Zhang Xiao Qiang was started to lose his patience, his brows having jumped a few times. He took in a deep breath, regaining his composure before he continued.
"Then you can just give birth to sons!"
"En!" She nodded her head, obviously forgetting that daughters would marry out, while sons were truly one's own. She was too biased!
"So! We must now start to prepare resources for our kids and their kids, otherwise they might starve to death." Zhang Xiao Qiang came to his main point.
"Ha, true true, for the little babies, I have to work hard as a mother." Yang Ke'er felt extremely motivated after that tall-tale, and instantly carried a box of 24 bottles of mineral water up, even intending to add on more.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped and ask: "Is this too little? Should we go to the cities and kill all those monsters and move everything back here?"
"Too far is as bad as not enough." Zhang Xiao Qiang remembered this idiom, as he thought of the hundreds of thousands of zombies within the cities, and felt a cold sweat down his spine.
"There will not be enough s.p.a.ce to stuff everything!" He could only continue to hoodwink her.
"En! I understand!" Yang Ke'er was once again, led on by Zhang Xiao Qiang.
By then, Su Qian had also started to help, and the speed was hastened. After they threw out all the pirated discs and the equipment, the secret base was a whole lot more s.p.a.cious. Pus.h.i.+ng the stored resources aside, the place could accommodate about a dozen people. It was unclear how the original owners managed to dig this place, but a s.p.a.ce of 200sqm was now theirs, and it was still s.p.a.cious even with the resources brought down.
Looking at the s.p.a.cious den, Zhang Xiao Qiang knew his next step was to fill this place up. He was a h.o.a.rder, and he would try his utmost to collect as much as he could.
Yang Ke'er leaned back against the Hummer's door and ate an apple, while Yuan Yi stood about 3m behind and stared at his back. Su Qiang was currently wielding a hammer, her legs shaking as she stood by his side.
Zhang Xiao Qiang could tell that Su Qian was truly afraid, and how she was struggling internally. He could only give her this fair stage, how she tread this path would depend on herself. If she didn't dare to charge up, no matter how favorably he viewed her, he would have to abandon her. He was, after all, just a mediocre fighter. Against the ordinary zombies, he could still handle his own, but against any Type 2 and above, he was basically grasping in the dark.
Furthermore, there were those Mutant Beasts out there. It had already been 4 months, who knew how terrifying the extent till which they mutated? At that time, 2 dogs of about 1.6 to 1.8m had only taken a month. Zhang Xiao Qiang was suspecting that they were already starting another round of p.u.b.erty.
(A joke used to describe people that suddenly experienced a growth spurt)
The Mutant Beasts were different from zombies in that, they had eyes, could make a judgment. The first time Zhang Xiao Qiang had dealt with that Mutant Cat, he was forced into a corner. It had used the least amount of effort to ensure the largest benefit. They had intelligence after all, and knew how to lie in wait, and pounce on an opportunity when the humans had an opening.
There were only a few zombies along the several hundred meters of road. As they pa.s.sed some of the vehicles on the road, they could still see zombies in the drivers' seats struggling. This was after all not the city where human traffic used to be high, and those zombies on the road were likely infected people who were walking. They had long since forgotten themselves and their aims, only mindlessly shambling about, hoping to find fresh blood and meat, satisfying their urge.
Seeing the dozens of zombies on the road, Zhang Xiao Qiang was lazy to choose, and he randomly picked one before telling Su Qian: "That's the one, go!"
