Chapter 1721: Chapter 728 Stealing Home

"Time to get up for dinner."

Wang Tao patted Han Rui’s hand.

Han Rui gradually woke up. She seemed still a bit drowsy, her eyes a little dazed. Seeing a strange man standing by the bed, she was startled for a moment, then realized it was Wang Tao.

"Wang Tao—ow!"

Han Rui got out of bed and suddenly felt a pain in her waist, nearly fell. Wang Tao quickly reached out to support her waist.

Han Rui was wearing Wang Tao’s loose pajamas. It seemed nothing much, but after Wang Tao embraced her, he could clearly feel her slender figure.

"Uh... suddenly my body feels so sore..."

Han Rui’s face flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Earlier, when she was outside, she felt her body was quite alright. But after a good sleep, she felt sore all over, especially her two arms, which were aching and sore.

"That’s normal. You were over-exerted before, relying solely on willpower and adrenaline. Your body had reached its limit... need help?"

Even as he was saying this, Wang Tao’s hand already reached under her legs, lifting her in a princess carry.

"No—I’ll do it myself, I can manage!"

Han Rui instinctively wrapped her arms around Wang Tao’s neck. At this moment, she could no longer feel her body ache, only feeling her face and body heating up.

She was a very independent person. If it were just the two of them at home, it would be fine. But with others present, being carried out like this was too embarrassing.

"Alright."

Wang Tao did not deliberately make things difficult for her.

After this little interruption, Han Rui felt her body didn’t ache as much anymore. She swayed a bit, managing to stand up straight, then asked:

"How long did I sleep?"

Since the apocalypse descended till now, it was the first time she slept so soundly. She felt like she had slept for a long time.

"Not long, just an afternoon. Dinner’s ready, and I’ll also introduce you to the other members of the household."

"Just an afternoon, that’s okay. But... the other members of the household, are they your parents, wife, and kids?" NovelFire)

Han Rui felt a bit nervous.

Wang Tao had mentioned she should follow him from now on. They were all adults, and Han Rui knew what that meant. Having been heartbroken by Sun Weiguang, and wanting to survive, she agreed.

But Wang Tao never spoke about his family situation. Hearing there were other household members, Han Rui’s first thought was Wang Tao’s parents, wife, and kids...

But Wang Tao just shook his head and said:

"I grew up in an orphanage, and I’m still single. The people at home are all my friends."

"Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that..."

Han Rui didn’t realize Wang Tao was an orphan and immediately apologized profusely. But upon hearing Wang Tao was still single, she breathed a sigh of relief, realizing they were just his friends.

By this moment, her body’s pain had mostly subsided, so she let go of Wang Tao and followed him downstairs, where they saw Li Qiuyu, Ding Yuqin, and Jiang Shixue poking their heads out of the kitchen.

"..."

So-called friends, but three beautiful women with distinct features?

With her woman’s intuition, Han Rui didn’t believe they were just ordinary friends.

"Hello!"

But Han Rui’s expression didn’t change, and she hurried to help in the kitchen.

The saying goes, "Three women make a play," so they didn’t need Wang Tao to join in, and the three quickly got along. Jiang Shixue didn’t join in; she sat on the couch next to Wang Tao, continuously asking about the situation outside.

Wang Tao stroked Taxue while briefly explaining to her, making Jiang Shixue slightly taken aback by the situation outside.

"There are already Level 2 Zombies out there..."

Then she hugged Wang Tao’s arm and said:

"Brother, when will you take me out? Zombies have reached Level Two, and I’m still Level One..."

Last time Wang Tao had merged a Superpower Crystal Core for Jiang Shixue, allowing her to ascend to Level One. But Wang Tao didn’t let her go outside, so now, with capabilities but no outlet, she felt a bit stifled.

Looking at Jiang Shixue’s pitiful expression, Wang Tao thought for a moment and said:

"Tomorrow then, I’ll take you out tomorrow."

Staying at the base won’t improve her abilities; it’s also good to let her get some exercise outside.

"Yay!"

Seeing Wang Tao finally agree, Jiang Shixue was overjoyed.

Seeing that the three women in the kitchen weren’t paying attention, Jiang Shixue suddenly stood up and quickly kissed Wang Tao on the cheek.

"..."

After the kiss, Jiang Shixue ran into the kitchen carrying a dish, leaving Wang Tao with a cheerful back.

I must say, it gave Wang Tao a slight thrill.

"Dinner’s ready!"

The women successively brought various dishes to the table.

Han Rui, looking at the food, instinctively swallowed.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she couldn’t imagine eating so well in the apocalypse. It’s like a dream! After all, she almost lost her life just for a few packs of instant noodles...

"Eat, have plenty."

Wang Tao used chopsticks to serve Han Rui a large pork knuckle.

"Thank you!"

The dinner lasted half an hour, and all the food was eaten clean. Han Rui stroked her slightly full belly, feeling a kind of unprecedented happiness.

"By the way, you should merge these Crystal Cores."

Wang Tao then took out a large number of 100% purity Crystal Cores, all basic Level One like HP, Constitution.

Wang Tao had no use for these Crystal Cores anymore and could use them to enhance their self-defense capabilities.

Han Rui doesn’t know much about Crystal Cores, only that they shouldn’t be merged carelessly, or it might not be good for the body. The Crystal Cores she obtained by killing zombies were still in her pocket.
