Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1698 - 717: A Woman’s Sense of Crisis (Final Day to Ask for Monthly Tickets)

Chapter 1698: Chapter 717: A Woman’s Sense of Crisis (Final Day to Ask for Monthly Tickets)

After Ding Yuqin opened the door, she noticed Wang Tao had a black cat on his shoulder and two women following behind him. They seemed like sisters, both quite beautiful, especially the elder one, who appeared very charismatic, much like a big star.

Li Qiuyu was also quite surprised to see Ding Yuqin. Wang Tao hadn’t mentioned Ding Yuqin to her, so she wasn’t aware that Wang Tao had such a beautiful young woman in his house.

In that instant, Li Qiuyu suddenly felt a bit vigilant.

When Wang Tao took her away, she had mentally prepared herself that, for her daughter’s safety, she might have to sacrifice herself. If her appearance caused Wang Tao to favor Jiang Shixue, it would be worth it for her.

But now, there was another equally beautiful woman beside Wang Tao. Although nothing had happened between her and Wang Tao, she suddenly felt a subtle sense of crisis as a woman...

Ding Yuqin, indeed, felt a slight crisis too.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, her husband was probably dead, leaving her as a helpless, solitary woman, unable to solve even the basic food issue, with her stomach already rumbling with hunger.

If she wanted to survive in this apocalypse, the simplest, perhaps the only way, was to find a strong man to protect her, like Wang Tao.

Especially with recent events, she felt it was impossible to survive alone. To live, she might have to rely on Wang Tao.

Of course, she didn’t plan to directly engage in anything with Wang Tao as she wasn’t a casual woman and was quite resistant to such matters. She thought she could help Wang Tao with chores, like cooking and doing laundry. As for what might happen after a long time, she hadn’t thought about it at all. After all, in the apocalypse, whether one can survive is uncertain, let alone the future.

But this premise is based on no one competing with her for these tasks. If other women appeared, it might not be her chance, and Wang Tao might not be willing to help her. Ultimately, Wang Tao only had a good relationship with her husband and was at most acquaintances with her...

In fact, all these thoughts flashed through the minds of both women in an instant.

Ding Yuqin hesitated for a moment before quickly inviting the three inside.

"Uh, please come in..."

Wang Tao briefly introduced the three.

"This is Li Qiuyu and Jiang Shixue, both my friends... This is Ding Yuqin, my neighbor, I live across the door."

"Hello!"

Li Qiuyu and Ding Yuqin exchanged glances, a somewhat indescribable expression in their eyes.

"Meow~"

Taxue seemed to sense the atmosphere between the two women, immediately jumped off Wang Tao’s shoulder, and lay on the balcony basking in the sun.

Jiang Shixue didn’t sense this atmosphere. After greeting, she directly followed the black cat over. She liked this black cat very much but the cat always ignored her, not even letting her touch, always aloof.

"What’s going on here?"

Wang Tao asked directly.

Ding Yuqin knew what Wang Tao meant, she quickly and trembly explained:

"The man with glasses from the fourth floor who ran out a few days ago suddenly came back with a bunch of fierce-looking people, and they came for me..."

"The man with glasses is looking for you? You have a grudge with them?"

Wang Tao frowned, remembering Ding Yuqin wasn’t the kind to cause trouble.

"No!" Ding Yuqin quickly shook her head, then awkwardly said, "They seem to be after me, specifically came for me..."

"..."

Wang Tao suddenly understood.

This reason was very reasonable. In the apocalypse, weaker individuals, especially beautiful women, would definitely be coveted by some people.

Li Qiuyu heard Ding Yuqin’s words and, as a woman, felt a sense of shared plight.

"Since there are zombies outside too, they don’t dare make a big commotion, so they didn’t forcefully break in, but if they get impatient, they might storm in... You said before to find you if there’s trouble, but I don’t know your phone number, couldn’t add you on chat apps..."

Ding Yuqin looked at Wang Tao with a pleading expression.

She had seen Wang Tao kill the zombies outside the door in one punch before, knowing Wang Tao’s combat strength was strong. However, she wasn’t sure if Wang Tao could handle that group. They managed to survive coming here, surely they had some ability.

So she didn’t know if Wang Tao was willing to help her. It seemed unwise to offend a not weak survivor team for her...

"It’s not a big problem."

Wang Tao’s expression was calm, revealing no thoughts.

Just a bunch of people with decent physical fitness, Wang Tao kills them easier than killing zombies.

But Ding Yuqin was unsure what Wang Tao meant, was this willingness to help or not? But whether helping or not, Ding Yuqin was bound to thank him.

"Thank you—grumble—"

Her stomach suddenly growled, making Ding Yuqin very embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law hasn’t eaten yet?"

"I ran out of food at home..."

Ding Yuqin said awkwardly.

According to the past situation, Ding Yuqin should have knocked on Wang Tao’s door to borrow food. In this lifetime, despite Wang Tao clearing out the zombies in the building, leaving some supplies in other rooms, she dared not go out to search due to the glasses man barging in. Hence, she was already starving by this time.

"Then let’s eat something first, who wants to cook?"

Like performing magic, Wang Tao suddenly had a lot of food in his hand, including fresh fish, meat, vegetables, eggs, fruits, milk... even various seasonings.
