“The might of the axe and my strength combined should be enough to instantly shop off five zombie heads! Sweet. I must try this power out tomorrow!”
Yang Hao looked at the marks on the wall. A zombie’s head was absolutely not harder than the cement wall.
Even if he had the system and has a solid foundation, he still wishes to continue growing stronger.
He had too many worries in his heart!
After finishing his practice, his entire body was drenched in sweat. A small puddle had even appeared on the ground.
He took a bottle of mineral water and chugged it down his throat, then prepared to go take a bath.
While he was in the mailroom, he had not taken a bath for three days already. After killing zombies for a day, his entire body was even more rancid.
He carelessly walked into the bathroom. By lucky coincidence, he ran into Ye Feng Hua who was wrapped in a towel and drying her hair.
Her mellow and full shoulders and slender long legs glimmered from the wetness, attracting his attention.
It was especially stimulating as she had her arms raised, exposing her slender body with all the right curves. The slight mist coming from the water, made her look like a lotus flower breaking the surface.
“Ahhhh!”
In contrast to Yang Hao who became absent-minded, Ye Feng Hua was startled and quickly put her hands down, covering her chest. Her long hair dropped down, covering her face.
However, behind the long hair, she could still see Yang Hao.
He was 1.8 meters tall. His entire body covered in muscles was drenched in sweat, filling the air with a manly smell.
Moreover, he was only wearing underwear. What was more terrifying was that his thing was reacting.
Facing the heroic yet wild Yang Hao, Ye Feng Hua’s eyes flickered with fear and alarm.
She had never seen a man’s body at such a close distance. Her heart almost jumped out.
Yang Hao was roused by her fearful cry. He had come to and said with determination, “Why didn’t you lock the door? You should get out and let me bathe now!”
He immediately used his hand and lightly pushed her shoulder to let her leave.
Ye Feng Hua, who had been startled, did not dare move from fear when she saw his big hands.
Her face was instantly shocked. When she finally determined that he was letting her leave, she frantically ran out.
However, when she made it to the office, she noticed something embarrassing. Her clothes, underwear, and other things were left inside the bathroom.
For a moment, she wanted to cry but tears did not come out.
She wanted to go back and take them, but she was also afraid.
When she looked back, the door to the bathroom had been closed. She could only helplessly search through each office for clothes.
Luckily, she was able to find a set of clothes in one of the offices.
Who knows to whom it belongs, the underwear was the type that carried sexual appeal as if not wearing anything. The clothes were also the same, and she loathed them very much.
However, it was a lot better than just a bath towel.
After quickly changing, she quickly closed the room’s door while hugging the mop handle close to her. She turned off the lights in the room and nervously watched the door.
In the end, she could not fight against her exhaustion and tension as she fell asleep not long after.
Yang Hao did not care about her at all as he comfortable took a bath. He walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
When he saw that there was no one in sight, he knew that Ye Feng Hua went to find a place to sleep. He also minded his own business and enter the president’s lounge.
On the bedside cabinet, he placed the half-moon axe while he placed the seven-star machete beside his right hand and the dagger under the pillow.
If by any chance there were any rustles in the wind, he could immediately get up and fight.
To survive the apocalypse, any kind of preparation to protect oneself was already not bad.
The tragic cries of people, their howls of despair, and the growling sounds of the zombies all entered Yang Hao’s ears.
He knew that many people were already starved and thirsty for three days. Those people would definitely try to find a chance to go out and become zombie food in the end.
“I wonder who can become my comrade-in-arms. Returning home is till difficult!”
While listening to the sounds, Yang Hao sighed and slowly entered into a state of sleep.
Ever since the zombie outbreak, this was the first night he had such a comfortable sleep.
At midnight, when he was tossing and turning, he felt the sound of footsteps coming from the outside.
He suddenly quivered and woke up. He grasped the half-moon axe by the bedside cabinet and watch the doors with full alert.
“Mr. Yang. I’m afraid. Where are you!”
A sobbing tone could be heard. It was downcast and filled with fear.
Yang Hao knew that it was Ye Feng Hua, so he turned on the lights.
At a glance, he saw her wearing an extremely short miniskirt that barely covered her thighs. She wore suspenders on her upper body with only a bath towel draped over her shoulders. She held the mop handle tightly with both hands and walked with a face full of tears.
Yang Hao was instantly fired up. His muddle-headed state disappeared without a trace as he became filled with vigorous vitality.
“It’s the middle of the night and you haven’t gone to sleep? Could it be that you can’t sleep? Lie down on the outside, if there are any signs of activity, I am here!”
He immediately looked away from her body as the flames in his heart began to bloom bigger, but he was still able to remain in control. He hoped that she would not disturb him.
After saying so, he once again lied on the bed.
Ye Feng Hua, who had been afraid of Yang Hao from the bottom of her heart the entire night, looked at his sturdy muscles. The fear in her heart completely vanished.
She suddenly felt safe as if his presence made the growling sounds, the horror of the zombies, and everything scary go away.
Although his expression was bad, he still let her stay there.
She to take some clothing, lied down on the wide sofa, and fell asleep with her mind at rest.
She never imagined that she would come to find a man when she woke up in the middle of the night.
On the other hand, Yang Hao never imagined that he could not suppress the heat in his heart. He kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Ye Feng Hua’s appearance of wearing only a bath towel and her appearance of wearing a miniskirt kept floating in his mind.
Even if he tried to think of his goddess, he could not get rid of these thoughts.
It took him an hour to win against his desires. He did not become like Gu YU and the others who had become slaves to their desires.
He slept until morning and was woken up by the fragrant scent of rice and side dishes.
He walked out and saw Ye Feng Hua. She had once again worn her office lady uniform.
Yang Hao was a bit disappointed, but he did not feel bad.
Seeing that he still came out bare to the waist, Ye Feng Hua’s face reddened, but she passionately greeted him, “Mr. Yang, good morning! Quickly have a meal. There aren’t too many ingredients to work with, so I can only do this much!”
Even if they were separated by a wall, Yang Hao still gave her a sense of security, allowing her to sleep properly.
To repay him, she made three side dishes and a soup.
Despite there being ingredients from Yang Hao’s backpack, it was warmer, making it more appetizing.
“Let’s eat together then. There isn’t much food anymore? Okay, I plan to go out today. These should be enough for you to eat for a few days. When the time comes, I’ll come back for you!”
“Remember, you must close all doors and windows properly. Don’t open it for anyone else other than me!”
Yang Hao continuously warned her.
He saw that her gaze was a lot gentler than yesterday night.
Perhaps a woman doing laundry and cooking was able to melt a man’s heart.
“Mr. Yang. I will take care of myself properly. I will bring you to find Cai Jing.”
Ye Feng Hua had thought of things properly. She would follow Yang Hao and use gentle feelings to change him, to not let him forget about her.
She had no choice as she must rely on Yang Hao to continue surviving.
She would borrow some time to train herself and strengthen her body.
However, her face carried a certain despise that she could not conceal, as if she detested the so-called Cai Jing.
Yang Hao nodded his head and quickly ate, but he did not see the change in her expression.
After eating and drinking his fill, he wore the clothes he found yesterday. He carried the half-moon axe behind him, held the seven-star machete, and bound the titanium chromium dagger on his trousers.
After checking the situation downstairs, he prepared to jump down from the window.
Ye Feng Hua only looked at him. Her gaze landed on Yang Hao’s body, then she decided to straighten out his shirt collar and said, “I will stay well. I will wait for your return!”
Her voice and expression were like that of a newlywed wife wishing her husband well before his departure.
