Chapter 28 Meeting Wang Zhuhua Again
Yao Tao pretended to be confused when Ding Yuluo recognized her, "Who are you?"
Ding Yuluo's expression froze, "You don't remember me?"
Yao Tao shook her head slowly.
Wang Zhi realized something when he saw this scene. He asked Ding Yuluo, "Do you know her?"
"Of course I know her," Ding Yuluo shrilled. "She was my high school classmate. I remember her very clearly. The boys in our class who liked her were almost lining up outside the door. I really don't know what was so likable about her. She was so sick... I didn't expect she's still alive."
The undisguised sourness in Ding Yuluo's words made Wang Zhi frown.
Yao Tao said calmly, "I remember now. Did you confess your feelings to a boy in your class and get rejected?"
Ding Yuluo was furious when her true colors were exposed. "Yao Tao, don't be shameless. You seduce this one and that one all the time. You must have been working as a laundry woman to survive until now." As she spoke, she reached out and pulled off the T-shirt hood covering Yao Tao's head.
The black T-shirt hood slipped off, revealing Yao Tao's fair and clean face.
Wang Zhi and his men were stunned.
In the end times, even if there is no shortage of water, people cannot keep it clean.
Searching for supplies and fighting mutated animals will both leave people's bodies and heads covered with grass leaves and dirt.
In the last days, few people spend time and energy to take care of their hair.
There are no shampoo or hair care products, and many people just rinse with water and think they have washed their hair.
Yao Tao's hair still remains in the same state as before the apocalypse.
Silky smooth, shiny and tangle-free.
His face was also fair and clean, and had the "sickly" look that Ding Yu Luo had mentioned.
Compared with Yao Tao, Ding Yuluo's face is simply unbearable to look at.
While their team went out to search for supplies, Ding Yuluo stayed in the tent all day.
In addition, she didn't have lunch, and it was already evening. She had been hungry for two meals, so it would be strange if her complexion was good.
Yao Tao ignored Ding Yuluo, who was about to go crazy with anger. She raised her hand to gather her hair and said to Wang Zhi, "I'd better go find my friend. You should comfort your girlfriend. She was a little naive when she was in school. Don't make things unpleasant for me."
After saying that, Yao Tao turned and left.
Wang Zhi's men were anxious, "Yao Tao, don't leave."
"Yes sister, you don't have to be afraid with our boss here."
"Sister-in-law, you're going too far. Yao Tao isn't some laundry lady. She's the boss's new recruit."
Ding Yuluo didn't expect that all the team members would speak up for Yao Tao. She felt angry and wronged, and burst into tears, "Wang Zhi, they bullied me..."
When she cried, she habitually threw herself on Wang Zhi.
Before the end of the world, a young couple quarreled, the girl cried, and the boy comforted her.
But now is the end of the world!
In this world where human life is worthless, who would have the leisure to appease your little temper?
Wang Zhi pushed Ding Yuluo aside and turned to chase Yao Tao.
Yao Tao didn't go far, and Wang Zhi quickly found her. "Come back with me. I have the final say on this team. You don't have to pay attention to Ding Yuluo."
Yao Tao raised her smooth little face and looked at Wang Zhi. Her eyes were as cold and clear as a pool of water, without any ripples. "I don't want the matter between me and Ding Yuluo to affect the unity of your team."
"What happened between you and Ding Yuluo?" Wang Zhi asked.
Yao Tao smiled calmly, as if she didn't care at all. "It all happened back in our school days. I wasn't in good health back then, and the guy Ding Yuluo liked had a crush on me. When she confessed her feelings, she was rejected... and she ended up taking her anger out on me."
Wang Zhi snorted, "She is too petty."
"After all, she's your girlfriend, and I don't want to cause her misunderstanding. But I'm not the type to let anyone bully me, so it's better for me to leave."
"Don't worry about what she thinks. I sincerely invite you to join our team."
Yao Tao thought for a moment, "Then... I'll stay for a few days to observe. If this place doesn't suit me, I'll leave."
"Okay." Wang Zhi nodded. He was confident that he could keep her. "Come back with me. You can stay in the same tent with Ding Yuluo tonight. If she dares to bully you, tell me."
"Aren't you going to hand in the mission? I'll go with you. It will give Ding Yuluo some time to calm down." Yao Tao suggested.
Wang Zhi agreed, and he felt that Yao Tao was more sensible.
Who doesn’t like a girl who is understanding and considerate of others?
Wang Zhi asked Yao Tao to wait there. He went back and called a few people. He carried the corpses of the two mutant dogs out to find Zhu Hua to hand in the task.
Yao Tao put the hood of her black T-shirt back on her head.
She walked at the end of the team with a bow and arrow on her back, her head lowered, and was not very noticeable.
Wang Zhi originally wanted to ask her to come to his side, but then he changed his mind and thought that if Zhu Hua noticed her, he would definitely poach her.
So he let Yao Tao walk behind him by herself without talking to her.
When we arrived at the agreed location, Zhu Hua was already waiting there.
There were two other teams nearby also submitting tasks, but Zhu Hua was not satisfied with the prey they handed in.
One of the two teams' prey was missing half a leg, and the other had its stomach ruptured.
Zhu Hua criticized, "I told you that ten bullets must be exchanged for at least one whole prey. What are these you gave me? Are they your leftovers?"
"We managed to kill one with great difficulty, and two people died," explained the captain of a team.
"I don't listen to explanations, I only look at results."
Wang Zhi had the bodies of the two mutant dogs placed on the ground. "This is our team's prey."
Zhu Hua was overjoyed to see the two intact mutant dogs. "Captain Wang Zhi is so generous to send us two."
"It's not for free. I want to buy ten more bullets." Wang Zhi only has two bullets left. If he has to go out to search for supplies tomorrow, the safety factor of two bullets is too low.
Zhu Hua thought of something and touched his pocket, his expression changing. "I don't have any extra bullets for now. Please wait a few more days."
"How many days do we have to wait?"
"I can't say for sure, just in the next two days." Zhu Hua's eyes flickered.
Yao Tao, who was behind the crowd, was very familiar with his expression.
This means that he has something to hide!
"By the way, there is a new task. Do you want to take it?" Zhu Hua asked.
"What mission?" The captains of several teams were very interested.
"I'm going out the day after tomorrow and need to hire a few teams to protect me. When I come back, I will give you some supplies as a reward." Zhu Hua said.
"But we don't have many bullets now." The captains of other teams were also a little worried.
"How about this, in addition to the supplies, I will also give the team protecting me a gun."
Everyone, including Wang Zhi, was tempted.
Remember, they are just ordinary people.
After the end of the world, everything in the world is mutating and becoming stronger.
Only humans remain unchanged.
In order to defeat and hunt mutant creatures, powerful weapons are essential.
Several captains were eager for this generous reward.
"If you want to take the mission, please come here at 7 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning. I won't wait for anyone if you come later." Zhu Hua called over a few of his men and asked them to carry back one of Wang Zhi's team's prey.
Another mutant dog, Wang Zhi, was left behind and prepared to be used as dinner for the team members.
With Yao Tao around, he couldn't help but look forward to this dinner.
Zhu Hua left and Wang Zhi prepared to go back.
"Do you want to join Zhu Hua's team?" the captain of another team asked Wang Zhi.
"I'm still thinking about it, are you?" Wang Zhi asked back.
The captain smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course he's joining. Zhu Hua has connections, otherwise how would he have so many weapons and ammunition? He's the right one."
As he walked back, Wang Zhi frowned all the way.
He really wanted to join Zhu Hua's team, but he always felt a little uneasy.
Turning around, he saw Yao Tao.
"Yao Tao, come here, I want to ask you something."
Yao Tao walked over.
"Do you know Zhu Hua?" Wang Zhi asked.
"Of course, who in the resettlement site doesn't know Zhu Hua?" Yao Tao shrugged.
"If Zhu Hua invites you to join his team, will you go?" Wang Zhi stared into her eyes.
Yao Tao pretended to think for a moment and said, "I won't go."
"Why?"
"I always feel that this person is a bit fake...ah, this is just my personal opinion, there is no basis for it." Yao Tao waved her hands quickly, "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
Wang Zhi fell silent.
He really took it to heart.
