Chapter 144: Chapter 100 Li Qiuyu, Spoils of War_2, Translator: 549690339, Wang Tao noticed Han Rui wasn’t fast enough, so he grabbed Han Rui’s wrist and practically dragged her as they ran., Han Rui couldn’t understand how Wang Tao, with his large frame, could move so quickly… It was outrageous!, As she marveled, Han Rui quickly activated her Ability to carefully scout their surroundings, to avoid running headlong into a nest of zombies., Before long, they reached the villa district., However, just as Wang Tao pulled Han Rui up to the outside of Villa No. 3, Han Rui suddenly cried out in alarm., “There are five zombies inside, and one special zombie!”, Wang Tao nearly barged in; he quickly stopped in his tracks and peered inside., “Shit!”, Inside the villa yard, a Suicide Bombing Zombie and several Ordinary Zombies were roaming around., And it was a Self-exploder with 2500
/2500 HP!, Luckily Han Rui had called out in time. If they had bumped into the arms of a Suicide Bombing Zombie, that would have been quite the disaster!, Wolves in front and tigers behind., As Wang Tao hesitated between eliminating the lesser threat of the Suicide Bombing Zombie and seeking other villas, someone suddenly appeared on the rooftop of the neighboring Villa No. 2., “Come here!”, Wang Tao looked towards the voice., 80
/100, A green HP bar, indeed a human, not a zombie. He decisively pulled Han Rui towards Building No. 2. Along the way, he calmly said to Han Rui:, “Check how many people are in Building No. 2!”, When they reached the courtyard wall of Building No. 2, Han Rui immediately said:, “There’s only one person!”, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, but he didn’t stop moving., “You go first.”, Wang Tao extended his hand and Han Rui immediately jumped, stepping on Wang Tao’s hand. With an upward push, Wang Tao boosted Han Rui over into the courtyard of the Villa N0.2, then he took a standing leap, grabbed the edge of the courtyard wall, his arm muscles bulged, and he powerfully pulled himself over., The door of the Villa No. 2 was open, and a woman was waving at Wang Tao and Han Rui from inside., The two rushed in and locked the door behind them., Not long after they entered, they saw Mad Demon Zombies climbing over the courtyard wall, but all the doors and windows of the villa were locked—they couldn’t get in, and they didn’t notice the people inside., “Phew—”, Both Wang Tao and Han Rui breathed a sigh of relief., “Thank you!”., Han Rui expressed her gratitude promptly., “Don’t mention it, we are all survivors—none of this is easy….”, Wang Tao looked at the woman who spoke., She was a woman in her thirties, with an elegant and gentle demeanor., She wasn’t wearing makeup, but her natural beauty outshone any celebrity’s. Especially her proud figure, which the ordinary white homewear couldn’t conceal; even Ding Yuqin couldn’t compare to her., Wang Tao always felt that this woman looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before., “Thank you very much, my name is Wang Tao.”, Wang Tao expressed his gratitude., “I’m Han Rui.”, The woman smiled and said:, “My name is Li Qiuyu.”, At the mention of this name, Wang Tao suddenly realized., So it was her, no wonder she seemed so familiar., Li Qiuyu was somewhat of a senior to Wang Tao., She had been a celebrity, not incredibly famous, but with great potential and many held high hopes for her. Then, right at her career peak, she had suddenly retired from the circle. It was said she quit because she got married., Her fans were extremely regretful, but at that time she didn’t have too many fans, so it didn’t cause much of a stir., Wang Tao knew this because Li Qiuyu had started her career at Huangfeng Film City. So while fans elsewhere might forget her, people here still remembered her occasionally. Whenever she was mentioned, everyone would feel a sense of loss., But now it seemed she had been living a comfortable life, residing in a villa, and taking good care of herself like a young lady; it wasn’t their place to worry about her., Of course, that was before the apocalypse. Now in this doomsday, everyone was equal., “I saw you two before, but there were zombies outside, and I didn’t dare to call out… I didn’t expect you to come back,” Li Qiuyu said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with a hint of embarrassment., “We ran into Mad Demon Zombies, the kind that run very fast outside…” Han Rui briefly explained and also shared the incident with the old lady who had caused a ruckus that attracted the zombies., “No wonder I heard a shout just now; I thought I was hearing things…” Li Qiuyu looked incredulous, not expecting an encounter with someone from her community who was so troublesome., “Are you here alone?” Han Rui asked curiously., “Yeah, alone. I was living here with my husband, my daughter, and the nanny. But my daughter isn’t here and our nanny had taken leave to go home when the virus broke out… I don’t eat much on my own, and although the food isn’t plentiful, it’s been barely enough to sustain me so far…”, Hearing this, Wang Tao was surprised., She had a daughter? She maintained herself very well. But he didn’t know how old her daughter was, and it seemed likely she’d encounter more peril outside than safety…, “Let’s go upstairs to talk, watching these zombies is quite unsettling…” Li Qiuyu said, shivering subconsciously as she glanced at the shadows lingering outside the door., “Okay.”, Wang Tao and Han Rui followed Li Qiuyu upstairs., Since the new acquaintance was a woman, Wang Tao kept quiet, allowing Han Rui to chat with her, as women might find more common topics between them., He, on the other hand, checked all the villa’s doors and windows meticulously, ensuring there were no issues. Upon his return, Li Qiuyu kindly asked:, “Do you want some water? We have a well at home, it’s clean fresh water..”
