Chapter 20 Impotent Rage
The two of them went to room 602 and searched around, taking all the available 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 uncle by the way.
The bald uncle was also a smart man and was already collecting water, but he still thanked Wang Tao for his reminder.
After working all morning, they finally filled all the containers that could hold water in these empty houses with water. Wang Tao was going to take Ding Yuqin back to cook.
"Oh! I suddenly remembered that I don't have any water at home..."
Ding Yuqin suddenly slapped her forehead, her face a little embarrassed.
"... Then let's go to your house first, and the meal can be cooked later."
In fact, Wang Tao also forgot.
"Thank you!"
When Wang Tao came out of 201 and walked to the 4th floor, he suddenly heard some noises in room 401.
Wang Tao didn't say anything, and Ding Yuqin subconsciously hid behind Wang Tao, grabbing the corner of Wang Tao's clothes nervously.
She didn't know there were survivors inside, she thought there were zombies inside.
Wang Tao made a shushing gesture, then came to the door of 401 and listened.
He vaguely heard a man's low curse from inside, as if he was cursing why the power outage caused him to be unable to play the game, but he started crying while cursing.
Wang Tao was a little speechless. Is the focus now on electricity? How to survive in the future!
Ding Yuqin obviously heard the voice inside, but unlike Wang Tao's confusion, she could understand why the other party was addicted to games.
It's 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 there is no Wang Tao, maybe I will be like this..."
Ding Yuqin felt a little relieved.
"Let's go."
Wang Tao shook his head. After all, it was someone else's business, and he didn't want to interfere.
Coming to the fifth floor, Ding Yuqin invited Wang Tao into her room.
"It's a little messy inside..."
Ding Yuqin was a little embarrassed.
This was the first time Wang Tao came to her house.
Ding Yuqin's house is the same as 602 upstairs, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. But her house is more cozy and full of life.
The mess she mentioned refers to the pile of movie props in the living room.
"These are your brother Zhao's work stuff, he won't let me clean up... The house is a little messy, don't mind."
"It's about the same as my house."
Wang Tao smiled and shook his head. If Ding Yuqin hadn't helped to clean up, his house would be even messier.
"Let's get some water first."
"Okay."
After working for a while, Ding Yuqin prepared all the containers that could be used and turned on the faucets. She said to Wang Tao:
"Wang Tao, I'll just watch. It will take a while to fill the bathtub with water. You sit for a while..."
"Okay."
Wang Tao responded, but did not sit down. Instead, he walked around her house.
Her living room is large and well-lit.
A huge photo frame hangs on the sofa wall.
In the photo, a woman in a white wedding dress is holding the man's arm intimately, with a bright smile on her face. A man in a formal suit looks at the woman affectionately, with a tender look in his eyes. Like water... In the bright sunshine, the two seemed to be glittering.
The people above were Ding Yuqin and her husband Zhao Yuan.
On the side of the sofa, there was a floor-standing clothes hanger with a set of white strapless wedding dress hanging on it.
This is the same style as Ding Yuqin's wedding dress in the photo, or it is 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.
Heard that people with small breasts cannot control this kind of wedding dress, he always felt that some parts of Ding Yuqin in the photo had traces of photoshopping. But unfortunately, he couldn't prove it.
"Wang Tao, I'll go get you a glass of water!"
Ding Yuqin walked out of the bathroom. She felt that it was a bit inappropriate to invite Wang Tao into her home without even a glass of water.
Although this is the end of the world, after all, the time is short, so she still retains the previous politeness.
When Ding Yuqin came over with a glass of water, Wang Tao suddenly asked:
"Brother Zhao contacted you before, sister-in-law, how is he?"
"He... I'm afraid he's in danger! ”
Speaking of her husband, Ding Yuqin's face suddenly showed a trace of grief.
"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, he had no news the day before the network was cut off. No matter how I sent messages, he didn't reply... woo woo..."
Speaking of the sad part, Ding Yuqin covered her face and cried.
"Brother Zhao is a lucky person. Maybe he is safe now. He didn't reply to your message just because his phone was out of power. Sister-in-law, don't worry too much..."
Wang Tao comforted.
"Alas, it's impossible. He told me at that time that he borrowed a power bank. If you don't believe it, you can see..."
Ding Yuqin wiped her tears and took her mobile phone from the table.
Although the network is disconnected now, this chat software can view local chat records.
However, after turning to the chat record, her face suddenly turned red and she put her phone away again.
"Well, the record is deleted... That, I'll go see if the water is full. "
Ding Yuqin wiped her tears and left quickly in her pink and white sneakers.
She was obviously lying, but Wang Tao thought that there were some private conversations 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 pleasant. Ding Yuqin did not dare to show it to Wang Tao. Otherwise, if Wang Tao was unhappy and stopped taking care of her, she could only wait to die...
When the doomsday came, Zhao Yuan could not come back, so he could only comfort Ding Yuqin while thinking of a way. Then Zhao Yuan heard from other survivors that Wang Tao was at home.
In terms of physical fitness alone, men are definitely better than women. In a chaotic environment, it is definitely more convenient to have a man. Especially Wang Tao is strong and looks difficult to mess with.
The couple and Wang Tao are neighbors. Their relationship with Wang Tao is not 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, he will definitely thank Wang Tao.
As a result, Wang Tao did not reply to any message.
At the time of the doomsday outbreak, there was a saying popular in some small circles - the better the physical fitness of a person, the less likely he is to be infected with the virus; the worse the physical fitness of a person, the more likely he is to be infected.
Wang Tao later saw this unfounded statement on the Internet, and he did not agree with it. Instead, he felt that this was an excuse made up by some people who wanted to abandon the elderly, the weak, women and children.
But it didn't matter whether he believed it or not, as long as others believed it. For example, Zhao Yuan believed it.
So Zhao Yuan suspected that Wang Tao deliberately did not reply to his message, and Wang Tao did not want to help his wife.
Of course, despite the suspicion, Zhao Yuan continued to send messages to Wang Tao, and they were all polite.
But in the chat with Ding Yuqin, Zhao Yuan cursed Wang Tao in various ways, saying that Wang Tao was not good in various ways, and told Wang Tao to look good in the future.
This is actually a manifestation of impotent rage.
Zhao Yuan loves his wife very much, and he doesn't want his wife to be hurt.
But unfortunately, he can't do anything.
