Chapter 436 - Ridiculous Situation
Li Jiaying stopped crying upon seeing Tang Shaoyang\'s face. The little girl was attracted by his peculiar eyes. Even though this was their first meeting, the girl did not cry being carried by Tang Shaoyang.
The little girl kept staring at his eyes while her mother followed from the side. She slightly limped as she followed his pace. But Tang Shaoyang did not slow down his pace. Through his senses, he could feel another group of dogs was coming.
He led the mother and daughter to the second floor and looked for an unlocked door. They entered a random apartment and he closed the door. As he closed the door, his hand stayed longer on the doorknob. Through the [Mana Manipulation], he covered the whole apartment with his mana, erasing the odor of the mother and daughter.
Inside the apartment was a mess, but still, a much better place to rest. Jiaying was still staring at his eyes, her round eyes opened big, curious but afraid to ask.
Tang Shaoyang smiled and took out a bottle of water from his inventory. The mother and the daughter must be thirsty after the long run. He gave the bottle to the little girl after he opened the bottle, "Stop staring at this uncle\'s handsome face, you must be thirsty."
Jiaying\'s eyes widened even wider as the bottle suddenly appeared in Tang Shaoyang\'s eyes. She kept looking at the bottle then looking at him, back and forth.
From her expression, Tang Shaoyang could tell that the little girl was so curious, wanting to ask but she was unfamiliar with him, "Drink first, Uncle will teach you the magic trick later."
The little girl did not immediately take the bottle. Instead, she looked toward her mother. Only when her mother nodded at her did the little girl take the bottle.
It surprised Tang Shaoyang. He was pretty sure the little girl was very thirsty. He could tell that from her dried and almost cracked lips. But the girl was not careless about taking things from strangers. Her mother must have taught her pretty well.
Not only was she smart, but also sensible. After two gulps of water, she stopped drinking the water. Yes, she stopped drinking and gave the bottle to her mother, "You should also drink too, Mom. You run very quickly from the monster while carrying me, you must be thirsty."
"It\'s okay, you should drink more. Uncle still has more water. You don\'t need to worry about water anymore," To prove his words, he took out another bottle of water. Yes, his inventory was filled with such stuff. Snacks, food, and also meat.
Tang Shaoyang handed the bottle to the mother, "Take this, or else your daughter will not drink."
Li Shuang looked at the bottle in his hand before she looked at her daughter. There was no need to think further as she took the bottle, She drank the water greedily.
Despite the thirst, both mother and daughter only drank one-fourth of the water. After the water, Tang Shaoyang took out two pieces of bread. It was soft bread made by Elin. He had a lot of those bread in his inventory.
Jiaying and Li Shuang stared at the bread. They were no longer surprised by his trick. From their expression, he could tell that the mother and daughter were starved.
Tang Shaoyang did not immediately give the bread to Jiaying. He carried the girl to the sink, "You should wash your hands first or you will get sick."
He pressed the tap and the water came out. It was just a random try, he was not expecting the water was still running. He waited while observing the water whether it was clean or not. The water was not contaminated, it was clear.
He let the little girl wash her hand then he gave the bread to her afterward. He was about to take another bread but realized the mother was staying on the chair, "What are you doing? Don\'t you want to eat as well? Wash your hand."
"Yes, Mommy! You can have half of my bread," Jiaying called for her mother as well while trying to halve the bread, "It\'s okay, you can finish the bread. This Uncle has more of the same bread."
Li Shuang immediately got up and washed her hand as well. Tang Shaoyang helped the mother and daughter for a while.
Around ten minutes later, Jiaying was sleeping on the couch. She rested her head on his lap while snoring lightly. The mother was looking at her daughter lovingly.
"Alright, your daughter falls asleep now, let\'s get to the main topic," as soon as those words came out of Tang Shaoyang\'s mouth, Li Shuang\'s body tensed up. She looked at him nervously.
"Don\'t worry, I am not going to do anything to you. At least, I would never do something to someone as smelly as you," Tang Shaoyang covered his nose. Both mother and daughter were too smelly, their smell so stinging to his nose. That might be because of his high sense, a drawback of having a high sense.
Li Shuang lowered her head as her cheeks flushed red. If it was before the Game, no one would say something like that to her. However, that was the past, she now had to do this to protect herself from the predator in human skin. Not bathing, dirtying herself with dirt to cover her face and the smell to repel the one who tried to get closer to her.
"I have a few questions, I hope you can answer these questions for me," Tang Shaoyang looked at the woman funnily. He was not surprised by how paranoid the woman was, he understood that.
"First, is there any survivor group or camp? Or something similar around? We have built a base for the survivors, if there\'s any group, I am going to bring them there as well," Tang Shaoyang expressed his thoughts, hoping the woman would lower her guard for a bit.
If there were multiple survivor groups in Ningbo City, he was going to prioritize them first. He could take the city over later after securing the survivors. That was the plan when he spotted the mother and daughter.
Li Shuang\'s eyes brightened when he heard there was a base for survivors. Meaning she and her daughter would have a place to stay. From how the man acted, the base should have plenty of food as well. This was the best outcome for her and her daughter.
"We do have a few groups of survivors in the city but…" Li Shuang hesitated for a while, but she told the truth anyway.
There were five groups of survivors in the city and the group was led by a leader. The five groups were hostile to each other. Yes, those five groups were fighting each other, fighting for food and also territory.
Instead of a group of survivors, these five groups were more like a gangster group. This was so ridiculous, zombies were roaming around in the city yet these five groups were still fighting each other instead of clearing the city from the zombies.
Maybe that was why King Biron spared these five groups even though he ruled the city. They were not a threat at all, and they would be destroying each other.
