Chapter 71 The Matter Subsides
Soon, Xiao Zhao jogged back to his room, carrying two bottles of mineral water under his arm and two bowls of thin porridge in his hand.
Xiao Zhao found the porridge in the pot in the kitchen. It was obviously made by those people earlier, and they hadn't finished it. The rest was probably left for that silly kid who was on guard duty on the third floor.
"Brother Han, here you go!"
"Fatty, Shurou, come and have some water and something to eat first."
Han Shuo first unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to each of them.
After the fat man and Li Shurou finished drinking the water, their complexions improved considerably.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zhao also came over to help, and together with Han Shuo, they fed the two of them the thin porridge.
Since Fatty and Li Shurou had been hungry for several days, they should not eat too much.
He took a few sips and then lay down again.
The two looked tired and wanted to say something, but Han Shuo stopped them.
"Don't ask or say anything tonight. You are all too weak. Get some rest. I'm back! You can sleep soundly now."
After Han Shuo finished speaking, he smiled and nodded at them.
"good!"
Fatty and Li Shurou were indeed very, very tired. Han Shuo's four words: I'm back!
This gave them both a great sense of security, and soon they both fell asleep in bed.
This isn't just about physical rest; they've been tense for so long, and their minds need to relax even more...
After seeing that the two were sleeping peacefully, Han Shuo went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Having been away for so long, he hadn't had a proper wash, especially since he was covered in blood tonight. It took Han Shuo a long time to wash off all the filth.
Afterwards, Han Shuo asked Xiao Zhao to take a shower as well. Like Han Shuo, he hadn't taken a hot shower for quite some time.
Now, almost all external water resources have been infected, and only groundwater is usable.
The farm has a deep well that they dug themselves, which makes things much more convenient.
And so, the night finally quieted down and passed peacefully...
...
The next day, Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao woke up early.
The two quickly disposed of the body in the house. Han Shuo went to the kitchen to cook, while Xiao Zhao drove back the van that had been parked some distance away yesterday.
It wasn't until almost noon that Fatty and Li Shurou woke up one after the other.
Hearing a noise inside the house, Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao quickly ran over.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?" Han Shuo handed him the water.
The two drank some water and nodded to Han Shuo.
"I'm much better. I wasn't really sick to begin with, I was just starving. Once I have a couple of big meals, I guarantee I'll be jumping around again."
The fat man twisted his neck and felt a lot of his strength return.
"Hmm, Han Shuo, I'm not in much trouble either," Li Shurou said softly, though her complexion was noticeably worse than the fat man's.
This is understandable, given the difference in their physical conditions. During those days in the cellar, without food or water, the fat man's body proved to be a great help.
Seeing that the two had regained some of their strength, Han Shuo smiled and began to introduce them to each other.
"Fatty, Shurou, as I mentioned last night, this is Zhao Yu, who is 28 years old, just like you."
"Xiao Zhao, this is the doctor I told you about, her name is Li Shurou. The other fat guy is... uh... Wu Chengbin."
Han Shuo paused for a moment when introducing Fatty, having kept calling him Fatty so much that he almost forgot his real name.
The scene was a bit awkward. The fat man glared at Han Shuo, and he immediately guessed the reason behind this detail.
"Hello, Zhao Yu," Li Shurou greeted him politely.
"Just call me Fatty, nice to meet you," Fatty said casually.
"Brother Han calls me Xiao Zhao, and I'm used to being called that by others. You can just call me Xiao Zhao too." Xiao Zhao was a little shy.
Now, the three of them were completely acquainted.
The four chatted for a while longer before the fat man's stomach started growling.
Han Shuo had already prepared the meal. He instructed Xiao Zhao to bring it over, and the four of them ate while talking about what happened last night.
"I said, have you taken care of all those people outside?" the fat man asked, his mouth full of food, his words muffled.
"Yeah, Xiao Zhao and I killed them all last night."
Han Shuo casually said that he didn't think he had done anything wrong by killing those people. He could tell from the two corpses in the garage last night that these people were also ruthless killers.
Moreover, the intrusion of these people did indeed threaten the safety of his friends. If he had hesitated even slightly at the time, he would probably be the one who died.
You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others! If you don't kill them, they will kill you.
With things in such a chaotic state outside, Han Shuo had to be ruthless and decisive.
...
"Han Shuo, awesome!" Li Shurou gave him a thumbs up.
"But, speaking of which, what's the deal with those people?" Han Shuo asked.
"You're one to talk, those people came just a few days after you left."
“There are many of them, and they don’t look friendly. There’s only Fatty and me here, and we obviously can’t hold them off.”
The fat man and Li Shurou each offered their explanations, one sentence at a time.
"You think you can stop me from running away? Didn't I leave you a car?"
"We originally wanted to run away, but it was because of you that we were worried you wouldn't be able to find us when you came back. In the end, Fatty came up with an idea, and the two of us hid in the cellar."
Li Shurou put down her chopsticks and began to tell Han Shuo what had happened.
As for the fat man, he was busy eating the whole time, his hands and mouth never idle.
"You two were worried that I wouldn't be back by the deadline and they'd starve to death in there, having already moved all the food out of the cellar."
"We believe you!" The fat man suddenly found a moment to look up and reply.
One sentence: I believe in you!
This deeply moved Han Shuo.
Then, remembering the two corpses in the garage, Han Shuo continued to ask.
"Whose are the two corpses in the garage?"
After saying this, the fat man and Li Shurou were clearly puzzled.
"I don't know, whatever. I guess they'll find the survivors here by chance later."
"oh……"
And so, Han Shuo finally understood the whole story.
Now that it's all in the past, and his two friends are standing unharmed before him, he can finally relax.
After finishing his meal, the fat man stretched lazily. This guy, with his easygoing and chubby body, was already lively and energetic again after just one night.
The fat man's eyes had already been fixed on the gun on Xiao Zhao's back. He was itching to get closer to him and started trying to befriend him.
"Hey Zhao, that's a pretty good gun you've got!"
The fat man winked and said, as if he was about to gouge out his own eyes and stick them to the gun for a good look.
"Cough cough..."
Han Shuo coughed twice. He saw through the fat man's little scheme at a glance. He didn't know why the kid was so obsessed with guns.
