Apocalypse Cockroach Chapter 75: Hold this!!

Chapter 75: Hold this!!

After the meal, Zhang Xiao Qiang went back into his room, sitting on the sofa and smoking a cigarette. He thought back to the morning exercise and felt that he might have been to harsh on them, and was considering to let them rest in the afternoon. Otherwise, they might not meet the requirements for tomorrow. Since the crux of the training had not been achieved yet, should he decrease the tempo somewhat? Yuan Yi and Su Qian’s performances could be said to be satisfactory, especially that Su Qian, who had that unbreakable resolve. She gave it her all during the training, and it could be seen that she was willing to grab the chance.

The moment he finished the cigarette, he drank some water and had a thought. If the plans to go to WH City were off, should he continue to J City? The situation there was uncertain, and it was considered the place with the strongest security under the government. There should be some form of preparation there. Who knew, there might be remnant troops, at least there wouldn’t be slaves or women being treated as b.i.t.c.hes right?

“Or should we head for BJ?” Zhang Xiao Qiang felt that it was funny. Even the WH City that was only a few hundred km away could not be reached, not to mention BJ that was at least over a thousand km away. He didn’t even have a map, what if he accidentally exited the country?

“Squeak.” The door was pushed open, as Yuan Yi entered with a white nightgown, carrying a basin. Seeing the basin, Zhang Xiao Qiang immediately felt uncomfortable with his perspiration-soaked body, the high-intensity exercises in the morning had caused his entire uniform to be soaked. It felt just nice for a bath.

He stood up and didn’t let Yuan Yi do it, instead, taking off the clothes himself. He felt comfortable immediately. In the past, he didn’t have the qualifications, now that he had, he didn’t have to feel awkward about himself.

Zhang Xiao Qiang didn’t get Yuan Yi to help him with the bath this time as well, he quickly washed himself off roughly, before handing the towel to Yuan Yi, who felt at a loss. He changed to a new set of clothes and climbed into bed.

Yuan Yi was about to carry the basin out when Zhang Xiao Qiang called out: “Bring me the lunch later, I’ll take a nap.”

Yesterday, Zhang Xiao Qiang had eaten lunch with Yang Ke’er, there wasn’t a need to head to the kitchen to eat. Furthermore, Brother Long and the rest would usually place their rations in the kitchen, and once it was prepared, it would be sent to the rooms. Unless there were some urgent matters that require discussions.

Zhang Xiao Qiang had met the chef yesterday, he used to be a sous-chef, and his skills were decent. He was the only person in the entire group that didn’t have to risk his life and could eat his fill. It seemed like the saying ‘be a chef and you wouldn’t go hungry’ had some truth to it!

As he slept, someone entered the room. He opened his eyes and noticed Yuan Yi carrying lunch in.

Lunch was pretty appetizing, the chef had prepared clay pot rice, Zhang Xiao Qiang could not remember when was the last time he had clay pot rice. Eating such a rare meal in this current apocalypse was truly a luxury.

When he ate it cleanly and drank some water, Zhang Xiao Qiang asked: “Where’s Ke’er?” She usually kept such a strict eye on him, and yet, today Yuan Yi had spent almost half a day here and Yang Ke’er was nowhere to be seen?

“Miss Ke’er didn’t eat and just fell asleep, she said she didn’t sleep well in the morning!”

Zhang Xiao Qiang laid back on the bed, getting Yuan Yi to sit at the head of the bed and ma.s.sage his temples.

He could smell the fragrance from Yuan Yi’s body, as his brain started to whir again. If he had no goals, he could only stay here temporarily, at the very least, he had to ascertain that Yuan Yi and Su Qian could protect themselves before they left. As to their thoughts? Where they important?

However, up to this point, Brother Long and Chen Yi were still nice on the surface, regardless of how fierce or vicious they were, at least to himself, they had sent women and allowed him to rest. He could not just take it for granted as well, at the very least, he needed to prepare some resources. At that time, whether they lived or not wasn’t his problem anymore.

“The granary?” Zhang Xiao Qiang considered that place, before shaking his head. Even Brother Long and his 20 men could not handle the place, if he brought these 3 women there, wasn’t that equivalent to slapping Brother Long’s face?

However, the vicinity was cleared by Brother Long and the rest, and a little further, they would be able to reach the city. Thinking about the millions of zombies awaiting them to send themselves as food, he quickly vanquished the thought.

Thinking up to this point, he began to feel frustrated, and the fragrance from Yuan Yi was still lingering, and it caused him to be distracted.

He flipped his body, sprawling on the body, hugging the pillow and begin to think again, where should he start his own establishment?

As he sprawled, he felt uncomfortable, and he wanted to toss again, when his right hand brushed Yuan Yi’s thighs, and he subconsciously felt her up, feeling the smooth skin at his fingertips. Zhang Xiao Qiang was suddenly reminded of the mining company she was trapped in, there seemed to be red wine and some other resources there?

At this point, he lifted his head and noticed Yuan Yi’s face was flushed red, eh, something felt different under his hands? He took a look and noticed that he had absent-mindedly treated her legs as a pillow. Her legs were turning numb.

Seeing her flushed and embarra.s.sed expression, Zhang Xiao Qiang truly felt strange: ‘Maybe she really belongs to those special type?’

“The place that you escaped from, where is it roughly?” He felt that it was worth a try.

“It’s at some town called Gu Ye Town near Guang Shan area… Ah!” Zhang Xiao Qiang felt a little interested and did not let go of her thigh, instead, applying slightly more strength. Yuan Yi’s face started to flush more, and could not help but moan.

“How many zombies were there? Were they near the town?” He continued to ask.

“There were dozens of them, should be composed of my ex-workers, it takes about 5 minutes to drive to the town.”

Zhang Xiao Qiang stopped caressing her thighs and began to sink into his thoughts. 5 minutes? Then discounting the possibility of a thousand other zombies in the town, he and Yang Ke’er should be able to handle those. The 2 women could get a feel of fighting for their survival, rather than being shocked or scared at the next major operation.

“From here to there, how long would it take?” Zhang Xiao Qiang wanted to make sure and to take into consideration all factors.

“I’m not too sure, the other time, the small car took about 1 hour back here. The main issue was that the roads weren’t too good, and the car had traveled slowly.” Yuan Yi’s flush started to subside with the stopping of Zhang Xiao Qiang’s hands.

It was not yet 1 pm, and if they left now, there was still enough time. Zhang Xiao Qiang immediately pried Yuan Yi’s hands away and jumped out of bed.

“Go, wear your uniform, wake Yang Ke’er, both you and Su Qian will follow us to that place.” He ordered as he put on his shoes.

Yuan Yi turned pale, she knew that it was the time for her to come in contact with those zombies, but she hadn’t expected it to be so fast. She went off without a sound, although her steps were heavy.

By the time Zhang Xiao Qiang prepared his items and brought his weapon and water out, the ladies were still not ready. He sat down and waited.

By the time they came out, it took 20 minutes. Seeing them drag their feet, Zhang Xiao Qiang’s expression was ugly. He saw Yang Ke’er and her sleepy expression and didn’t say much, he knew it must have been her who was slow. Yuan Yi and Su Qian would not have dared to make him wait.

When they walked to the car park, Yang Ke’er insisted on her Landrover but was shot down, as it was not a race, they were going to get supplies. How much s.p.a.ce could the Landrover fit?

In the end, they drove a cargo truck, and Su Qian sat at the driver seat, with Yang Ke’er sitting beside to learn, whereas Zhang Xiao Qiang and Yuan Yi sat behind, observing the scenery. Zhang Xiao Qiang was feeling uneasy, as the unpredictable weather was making it hard to grow anything.

Yuan Yi looked out at the pa.s.sing scenery with an amazed expression. She had been cooped up at the chicken farm for too long, and the sights outside were too mesmerizing. Zhang Xiao Qiang looked at his watch, noting that it was about half an hour, and they should be there soon. He pulled out his handgun to check and saw Yuan Yi eyeing his gun.

When she saw Zhang Xiao Qiang looking at her, she immediately lowered her head, as though she did something wrong, her hands turning white, as she became fearful.

Zhang Xiao Qiang could understand how she feel because it was normal to think that with a gun, it was easy to have control over one’s life. She would not be treated like a dog then. This was the common thinking of a weakling, placing their hopes onto an insignificant item. They had never thought to train to become strong.

“Ka” He loaded some bullets, and handed the gun to Yuan Yi, who looked at it, not daring to take it.

“Hold this!!!” Seeing Yuan Yi being hesitant, Zhang Xiao Qiang barked out.
