Su Muying entered Wang Zhi's room. Wang Zhi was sitting on the edge of the bed, smoking a cigarette he had brought back from outside.
Wang Zhi glanced over when he saw Ying sit beside him, then turned back to continue smoking silently.
"Aiya ya, has our Captain Wang been bullied?"
Su Muying leaned over, placing her arm over Wang Zhi's shoulder, and smiled at him.
Wang Zhi didn't reply, continuing to stare blankly at the desk lamp.
"I already heard from Liuli. Losing to that Jie Xi is nothing to be ashamed of."
"Phew~ It wasn't about being beaten," Wang Zhi said, blowing a ring of smoke.
"Then what was it?"
"Don't you feel like we've been living a little too easily?"
Wang Zhi crushed the cigarette in his hand, turned to Su Muying, and asked.
"Easily? Hmm... Compared to before the Apocalypse, life is certainly much easier now. No need to worry about being hunted by international police or framed by vengeful colleagues. Frankly, I prefer dealing with Zombies over living people," Su Muying mused.
Su Muying finished explaining.
"Ease only breeds complacency. When true danger arrives, we'll be helpless, left only to pray. The Zombies outside are constantly growing stronger—what right do we have to feel comfortable?"
Listening to Wang Zhi's words, Su Muying also fell silent for a moment, then spoke: "By the way, that Jie Xi seems quite interested in you?"
Damn it, why is his focus so bizarre? I'm talking about serious matters here! Wang Zhi complained frantically inside.
".....Maybe she treats the other teams this way too." Wang Zhi immediately offered a convenient excuse by generalizing.
"Is that so? But why did I also hear that you took the chocolate we acquired, packaged it nicely, and gave it to her?"
Thud!
After Su Muying finished asking, she immediately slammed Wang Zhi onto the bed. However, Wang Zhi was certainly not foolish enough to think she intended romantic activity; at that moment, Su Muying's Dagger was pressed right against his lower body.
Damn it, that accursed Jia Liuli, why does she tell everything!
"Uh.... Sister Ying, let's talk calmly. Put the knife down first and let me explain. We gave a gift, and naturally, there would be benefits, right?"
"What benefits? Being beaten up by her?"
"No, do you know what Dr. Yang, whom we brought back, is responsible for?"
"What is she responsible for?"
"They are researching the Viral Antibody Vaccine! According to Jie Xi, if they succeed, those who are injected with the vaccine won't become Infected! As long as they aren't bitten to death, they can still live!"
"Hmm.... That is indeed good news, but stay away from her place in the future!" Su Muying said crossly, putting away her Dagger.
"Got it, my dearest ancestor. Who exactly is the Captain here, you or me?" Wang Zhi mumbled under his breath.
But unfortunately, Su Muying heard him perfectly clearly. She raised an eyebrow: "Oh? And what is the Captain's opinion?" Su Muying deliberately stressed the word 'Captain' and asked Wang Zhi with a forced, insincere smile.
Gulp! Wang Zhi swallowed hard. He really wanted to slap himself for speaking out loud.
"What I mean is, Sister Ying must be tired, right? Let me rub your legs for you." Wang Zhi said as he rolled off the bed.
"Mmm! Now that you mention it, I actually am a bit tired. Go ahead and rub."
After Su Muying spoke, she leaned back on the bed to enjoy Wang Zhi's massage.
"Your technique is good. If this were before the Apocalypse, I would definitely have you arrested and made into a massage therapist."
Wang Zhi looked at Su Muying's smug expression and thought to himself that one day he would certainly make her kneel by the bedside and rub his legs!
.....
After the massage, Wang Zhi went to the living room and turned on the Ling Lingyao to check for any recent news. He found that his intelligence work had successfully earned him another 200 Survival Points. Currently, Wang Zhi and his team still had over 13,000 Survival Points remaining.
In addition, Wang Zhi also found an interesting announcement: the Dawn Tower had preliminarily constructed a Sun Room.
The Sun Room is a place about the size of a soccer field. Above it is a layer of thick tempered glass, and outside the glass is the azure sky. The floor inside the field is covered with photovoltaic panels, which can generate a certain amount of electricity using solar energy. Most importantly, survivors can enter this area to sunbathe and relax. Of course, this is not free; the entry fee is 5 Survival Points for unlimited time.
"Interesting. It can generate electricity and allow people to sunbathe. This project is quite something!" Wang Zhi said, looking at the announcement about the Sun Room.
"What's so special about it?"
Fatty also came over and asked at this moment.
"Look, the Dawn Tower built a Sun Room. Inside you can sunbathe... Hey! Fatty, where are you going?"
Before Wang Zhi could finish speaking, he saw Fatty heading toward the door.
"I'm going to sunbathe and heal my injuries, Captain Wang. Goodbye."
"..." Before Wang Zhi could tell him not to go alone, Fatty had already slipped away. Wang Zhi shook his head and continued looking at the Ling Lingyao.
"Hmm? What's this? New large-scale leisure and wellness project: Natural Hot Spring Construction Complete?"
Wang Zhi's face darkened. This wasn't news; it was tempting people to spend.
However, the group hadn't celebrated since returning. This hot spring might be a good place for that.
Wang Zhi looked at the details of the hot spring and thought it seemed quite nice. They hadn't had a proper bath since the Apocalypse began. They should go relax there this time.
Closing the Ling Lingyao, he called everyone downstairs, preparing to head to the natural hot spring on the first floor.
The four of them arrived at the elevator, intending to go to the first floor, but noticed several unfamiliar faces stepping out of it.
The leader was a gentle-looking man wearing glasses, followed by four women of decent appearance.
Seeing the man's frail look, as if his body had been drained by the four women behind him, Wang Zhi inwardly joked, 'Could this be the 'Kidney-Deficient Young Master' (a reference to someone weak from debauchery)?' Despite his thoughts, he still approached to greet them.
"Hello, I am Wang Zhi, Captain of the Sunset Glow."
"Reincarnation, Tang Qilin."
Tang Qilin spoke briefly, ignored Wang Zhi's extended hand, and led the four women behind him toward the residential area.
Wang Zhi awkwardly retracted his hand and touched his hair. He truly hadn't expected the other party to be so arrogant.
However, anyone who could reach this level must have the basis for such arrogance. Although the man with glasses looked physically weak and was accompanied by four women, reaching the third floor was certainly not due to luck.
But since the bespectacled man was so aloof, there was no opportunity to get acquainted; he would just have to observe him in the training grounds later.
