Zhan Wu Zha was tormented by Zuo Feng until it had vomited all its stomach acid; now it was still hungry and nauseous. Poor Xiao Mi Tao was crying and throwing up.
Actually, Zuo Feng felt a bit nauseous himself doing this; it was also his first time mashing a zombie's brain into a paste.
But there was no other way—no matter how good Zhan Wu Zha was with bows, arrows, and firearms, it still needed the ability to kill zombies up close!
Just like today with the five zombies, Zhan Wu Zha threw up terribly after stabbing them. How could that work?
This was still good because the zombies' limbs were all shattered. If they had been able to move, Zhan Wu Zha would have been in big trouble, throwing up after just one stab. Its mentality still needed training, which led to the scene of Zuo Feng mashing zombie brains.
"Alright, let's make some barbecue. Everyone eat a bit, then get some good rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll head into the mountains."
Zuo Feng had originally planned to make some pig brains for the girls to eat, but then he decided against it.
Their stomachs were empty from throwing up, so he decided not to torment Zhan Wu Zha any further. Zuo Feng also noticed that even Da Mi Tao was a bit uncomfortable, her pretty face slightly pale. Clearly, Da Mi Tao also had no experience killing zombies up close with a knife.
Zuo Feng felt that Da Mi Tao also needed a lesson like this. As for Xiao She Jing, she was indeed worthy of her special police background, completely unaffected.
Fortunately, Xiao Chu Niang's cooking skills were excellent, and the group of Ying Ying Yan Yan all ate a little. Next was the part the girls were most looking forward to, and also the part Zuo Feng was most looking forward to!
The girls hadn't showered for many days. If Xiao Mi Tao hadn't collected enough water during the rainy night for them to at least wipe themselves down, they would all be stinky by now.
Now the base had an independent rainwater purification system, and water resources were abundant. The girls had long been looking forward to a good bath, and Zuo Feng was also looking forward to it—a group of Ying Ying Yan Yan taking a bath!
In Zuo Feng's anxious anticipation—then the girls, clustered together, walked into the female bathroom, leaving Zuo Feng standing alone outside.
Zuo Feng was isolated again. These women were too much! A team-building activity as meaningful as showering, and they didn't even include him, their leader!
Didn't they think to invite him, their leader, to shower together? It was simply too much!
He stared longingly at the female bathroom again, but no one invited him to join the team-building.
Zuo Feng sighed helplessly, and could only grudgingly move tables and chairs to block the paths.
From the First Floor to the Second Floor, there were four elevator entrances and two safety exits.
Although they were all tightly closed and required identity verification to open, they still needed to be blocked.
What if the electronic intelligent system malfunctioned? The hardworking Zuo Feng moved tables and chairs for over half an hour before he finally blocked off the four elevator entrances and safety exits.
He was covered in stinky sweat from the exertion, and those Ying Ying Yan Yan still hadn't finished showering. Faintly, he could still hear their laughter coming from the bathroom.
With nothing to do, Zuo Feng could only lean back in a chair and keep watch. Another half an hour passed, and the group of Ying Ying Yan Yan finally came out of the bathroom, chatting and laughing, wiping their wet hair.
He glanced sideways, wow! They had all changed into silky, thin, strap-on nightgowns. Based on the movement, Zuo Feng guessed that none of these women were wearing underwear, which was a visual feast.
But the proper Zuo Feng expressed disdain for this, muttering to himself: If they're not wearing anything underneath, what's the point of wearing anything on the outside! These women don't even mind the trouble; how inconvenient to wear nightgowns!
Seeing that all the girls had come out, Zuo Feng finally picked up his change of clothes and walked towards the female bathroom. He needed to shower too.
There was also a male bathroom on the First Floor, but both the male and female bathrooms were dirty from killing zombies. Zuo Feng was too lazy to clean them, so it was much more convenient to use the female bathroom that the girls had already cleaned. Anyway, it was a shower, not a bathtub, so there was nothing to be particular about.
Fortunately, Da Bai Tu was the cleanest. Just as Zuo Feng started showering, Da Bai Tu, who had already showered, ran in and showered with Zuo Feng again…
After showering, Zuo Feng felt refreshed and his mood improved significantly.
With Da Bai Tu in his arms, Zuo Feng smiled as he walked out of the bathroom. He saw that these girls really knew how to enjoy themselves. The sofa from their home had actually been moved by Da Mi Tao to the base's main hall.
Now, these girls were lying on the sofa, applying face masks, eating snacks, and chatting, their voices rising and falling. The air was filled with a fresh scent.
Zuo Feng couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly. These girls really knew how to enjoy life, even in the apocalypse.
Zuo Feng also lay down on the sofa. Da Bai Tu snuggled beside him. Seeing Zuo Feng sit on the sofa, Da Mi Tao turned her head to look at Zuo Feng, pointed to an empty conference room, and said:
"We discussed it, and the zombies on the lower four floors haven't been cleared yet, so it's not suitable for everyone to sleep in separate dorms. So tonight, we decided to sleep together; it'll be safer this way. That conference room is spacious enough to accommodate all of us."
Zuo Feng looked in the direction Da Mi Tao was pointing. The conference room was indeed spacious and bright, enough to accommodate everyone, and closing the door would ensure safety. Zuo Feng nodded, expressing his agreement:
"That's good too. Being together, we can look out for each other, and the safety factor is higher."
Seeing Zuo Feng agree, Da Mi Tao immediately added:
"Then hurry up and pack up, go to the dorm area and move the beds, mattresses, and quilts over there. You can rest there peacefully tonight."
Zuo Feng acknowledged, got up, and walked towards the dorm area. He hoisted a bed onto his shoulder and walked steadily towards the conference room.
As he walked, Zuo Feng felt that something was off. He looked back and saw that the girls were leisurely leaning on the sofa, continuing to enjoy their free time, with no intention of helping at all!
Instead, bursts of laughter occasionally came from them. It turned out that all the heavy work of moving beds had fallen on his shoulders alone.
Zuo Feng sighed helplessly, shaking his head, and thought to himself: Survival in the apocalypse is not easy. These girls are good at being lazy, but he can only accept his fate. Who told him he was the only man? It turns out that his role as leader not only involved commanding battles but also working as a porter. What a tough life.
However, seeing the girls relaxed and at ease, a sense of satisfaction welled up in Zuo Feng's heart. Perhaps this was the so-called trust.
Eight large beds! He finally managed to move them all and arranged them neatly in a row.
At this moment, Zuo Feng was exhausted like a dog. He suddenly recalled: He could have just stored eight beds with the Kong Ling crystal and then taken them out in this room!
He didn't need to exert himself moving them back and forth!
As his mind caught up, he looked at the girls covering their mouths and snickering. A vein throbbed on Zuo Feng's forehead—these women did it on purpose.
Zuo Feng, who had taken another shower, returned to the room. The girls had already spread their bedding on the beds and were all lying down.
Of the eight beds, Zuo Feng and Da Bai Tu shared one.
Xiao Shao Fu and Tong Tong shared one.
The other girls each had one.
Even Kong Ling had a bed to herself.
Of course, there was a space between each bed. Lying on the bed, Zuo Feng tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He and Da Bai Tu were sleeping on the middle bed. In the brightly lit room, Zuo Feng occasionally turned his head, looking left, then turning his head again to look right. At this moment, Zuo Feng had a new understanding of an ancient poem—"Looked at horizontally, it's a ridge; looked at sideways, it's a peak; far and near, high and low, each is different."
"This life is unbearable…"
Zuo Feng's heart was filled with melancholy. He had originally planned—to have a good cuddle with the freshly showered Da Bai Tu at night.
Now, they were all sleeping in one room, and his plan was shattered. The most outrageous thing was: they all had to sleep with their clothes on!
How could Zuo Feng possibly sleep like this! He tightened his embrace on the soft Da Bai Tu and closed his eyes unwillingly. The lights weren't even turned off, which crushed his idea of secretly playing basketball.
In the dead of night, Zuo Feng heard the girls' even breathing. His heart was filled with both helplessness and a touch of warmth. In the apocalypse, this trust and tranquility felt especially precious.
