Chapter 20 Incompetence and Fury
The two of them went to room 602 and rummaged around, bringing all the usable containers to collect water. There was no time to wait for the water to be filled, so Wang Tao took Ding Yuqin downstairs to other rooms. He also reminded the bald man by the way.
The bald uncle is also a smart man and is already collecting water, but he is still grateful to Wang Tao for the reminder.
After working all morning, I finally filled all the water containers in these empty houses with water. Wang Tao is going to take Ding Yuqin back to cook.
"Oops! I suddenly remembered that I don't have any water in my house yet..."
Ding Yuqin suddenly slapped her forehead with a bit of embarrassment on her face.
"...Then let's go to your house first. We can cook dinner later."
In fact, Wang Tao also forgot.
"Thank you!"
When he came out of 201 and walked to the 4th floor, Wang Tao suddenly heard some noises in room 401.
Wang Tao said nothing, while Ding Yuqin subconsciously hid behind Wang Tao and nervously grabbed the corner of Wang Tao's clothes.
She didn't know there were survivors inside, she thought it was zombies.
Wang Tao made a shushing gesture, then came to the 401 door and listened.
He vaguely heard a man whispering curses from inside, as if he was cursing why there was a power outage, which made him unable to play games, but he started crying after cursing.
Wang Tao was speechless. Is electricity the focus of his attention now? How will we survive in the future?
Ding Yuqin obviously heard the sound inside, but unlike Wang Tao's confusion, she could somewhat understand why the other party was addicted to games.
Not because the game is so fun, but because he is desperate. He doesn't want to face this desperate world. He is escaping from reality.
"If it weren't for Wang Tao, maybe I would be like this..."
Ding Yuqin felt a little lucky.
"Let's go."
Wang Tao shook his head. After all, it was someone else's business, and he didn't want to interfere.
Arriving on the fifth floor, Ding Yuqin invited Wang Tao into his room.
"It's a little messy inside..."
Ding Yuqin felt a little embarrassed.
This is the first time Wang Tao has come to her home.
The apartment layout of Ding Yuqin's house is the same as that of 602 upstairs, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. However, her home is decorated to be more warm and full of life.
What she meant by chaos was the pile of film and television props piled up in the living room.
"These are all things from your brother Zhao's work. He won't let me clean up... The house is a little messy, don't mind." "It's
almost the same as mine."
Wang Tao smiled and shook his head. If Ding Yuqin hadn't helped clean it up, his house would have been a mess. Even more messy.
"Get the water first."
"Yes."
After working for a while, after preparing all the usable containers and turning on the faucets, Ding Yuqin said to Wang Tao: "Wang Tao
, I'll just watch. Fill the bathtub with water." I need some time, please sit down for a while..."
"Okay."
Wang Tao responded, but did not sit down, but walked around her house.
Her living room is large and well lit.
A huge picture frame hangs on the sofa wall.
In the photo, a woman in a white wedding dress is holding the arm of the man next to her intimately, with a bright smile on her face. The man in formal clothes looked at the woman affectionately, his eyes as tender as water... Under the bright sunshine, the two of them seemed to be shining.
The people above are none other than Ding Yuqin and her husband Zhao Yuan.
On the side of the sofa, there is a floor-standing clothes rack with a white tube top wedding dress hanging on it.
This is the same style as Ding Yuqin's wedding dress in the photo, or the same set. It is normal for rich people to buy the wedding dress they like.
Wang Tao looked at the photo and then at the wedding dress.
He heard that people with small breasts could not wear this kind of wedding dress. He always felt that some parts of Ding Yuqin in the photos had traces of pornography. But unfortunately, he couldn't prove it.
"Wang Tao, let me get you a glass of water!"
Ding Yuqin walked out of the bathroom. She felt that it was inappropriate to invite Wang Tao into her home without even a glass of water.
Although this is the end of the world, after all, time is short, and she still retains her previous politeness.
When Ding Yuqin came over with a glass of water, Wang Tao suddenly asked:
"Brother Zhao has contacted your sister-in-law before. How is he?" "
He... I'm afraid he is in danger!"
Speaking of her husband, Ding Yuqin's face A look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face.
"He went to work in the film and television city early that morning. After the virus broke out, he kept sending me messages, asking me to wait for rescue. As a result, the day before the Internet was cut off, there was no news from him. How could I send messages? I won’t reply... Wuwu..."
Speaking of sadness, Ding Yuqin covered her face and cried.
"Brother Zhao has his own destiny. Maybe he is safe now. He doesn't reply to your messages just because his phone is out of battery. Sister-in-law, don't worry too much..." Wang Tao comforted him
.
"Oh, it's impossible. He told me at that time that he borrowed a power bank. If you don't believe it, look at it..."
Ding Yuqin wiped her tears and took her mobile phone from the table.
Although the Internet is disconnected now, this chat software can view local chat records.
But after flipping through the chat history, she suddenly turned red and put her phone away again.
"Ahem, the record has been deleted... Well, I'm going to see if the water bottle is full."
Ding Yuqin wiped her tears and left quickly on her pink and white sneakers.
She was obviously lying, but Wang Tao thought it was some private words between her and Zhao Yuan that were not convenient for outsiders to see, so he didn't care.
But in fact, in the chat records between Ding Yuqin and Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan said something about Wang Tao, and it was not very nice. Ding Yuqin did not dare to show it to Wang Tao. Otherwise, if she makes Wang Tao unhappy and stops taking care of her, she will have to wait for death...
When the end comes, Zhao Yuan will not be able to come back, so he can only comfort Ding Yuqin while thinking of a way. Then Zhao Yuan found out from other survivors that Wang Tao was at home.
In terms of physical fitness alone, men definitely have an advantage over women. In a chaotic environment, it is definitely more convenient to have a man. Especially Wang Tao, who is already strong and tough to deal with.
The couple and Wang Tao are neighbors, and their relationship with Wang Tao cannot be said to be very good, but at least it is not bad.
So Zhao Yuan sent a message to Wang Tao, hoping that Wang Tao could take care of Ding Yuqin. After the chaos was over, he would definitely thank Wang Tao.
As a result, Wang Tao didn't reply to any messages.
When the apocalypse broke out, there was a popular saying in some small circles - people with better physical fitness are less likely to be infected by the virus; people with poorer physical fitness are more susceptible to infection.
Wang Tao also saw this baseless statement on the Internet later, and he did not agree very much. On the contrary, he felt that this was an excuse made up by some people who wanted to abandon the old, weak, women and children.
But it doesn’t matter if he believes it or not, as long as others believe it. For example, Zhao Yuan believed it.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan suspected that Wang Tao deliberately did not reply to his messages because Wang Tao did not want to help his wife.
Of course, suspicion was suspicion, so Zhao Yuan continued to send messages to Wang Tao, and they were all polite.
But in the chat between Zhao Yuan and Ding Yuqin, he cursed Wang Tao in various ways, said all kinds of bad things about Wang Tao, and said things like calling Wang Tao good-looking in the future.
This is actually a manifestation of incompetent rage.
Zhao Yuan loves his wife very much and he doesn't want his wife to be hurt.
But alas, there was nothing he could do.
