39 39. Taking her to bed ( stop your dirty mind)

Inside the mall's storage, they found immeasurable amounts of food that were still unpackaged. They rushed with forklifts to transport as many as they could toward the entrance. Most food could be made inside the shelter, but things like salt and sugar were always welcome.

He found actually that two of five trucks were completely full of just salt and that made him happier. He became even happier after he found out that five trucks were loaded with sugar and two more with sweets. Now he started loading all other stuff. Rice, noodles, beans, salt, seasonings, canned food...

When he checked the list of the stuff inside the storage he became happy. So many good things.

As soon the others arrived with the trucks, they rushed out to help. Over fifty people made a line and transferred packages of person to person. It was faster than with forklifts. His group took the few forklifts and transferred the food to the main gate and then let them transfer fast to the trucks.

Just doing it this way rest of the trucks were loaded one after another in an amazingly quick manner.

As soon the last truck was filled with all kinds of food they rushed back to base.

Emma lowered one side of the walls so they could pass and rose it again. Actually she could completely rise the sides and make dome but there was no real danger, for now, that would need her to do that.

More people started appearing on the first level where the trucks started arriving, one after another. The food would be stacked on already prepared pallets and brought down to the storage area or to the main city area. She planned to make monetary service and include some kind of point system.

With those points, they could buy stuff in stores. Just basic stuff could be given free and food. But for everything else could be used points. That way the situation in the shelter could stabilize.

Actually everyone when they heard her suggestion cheered. All of them got used to knowing what they could get and were feeling safer with a paycheck. The funny thing is everyone would get the same payment as long they work normal workday. No matter a doctor or a street cleaner. Now, those that make extra work would be given extra points so people didn't complain.

So, all those that will help with gathering stuff outside would, of course, get paid extra points. As soon Emma saw Mario safe and sound, she turned around and walked back to the elevator. He had a facemask on and just rushed past the stunned Oliver that actually wanted to greet him. As Mario jumped into the elevator that was about to close doors, he smiled lightly and started ordering around. What these two have to talk about is something he shouldn't bother.

In the elevator was a silence. Mario glanced at Emma and almost started cursing. This damnable woman. Why does she look like this?

She leaned at the wall half asleep with darg bags under her eyes. Not only that, she looked dehydrated and as it seems she lost again weight. ''Stupid...'' he muttered and picked her up in his arms.

She had absolutely no strength to fight back so she just whispered. ''There is a strange thing going on in this place. Can you check out what is it? I feel somehow uncomfortable knowing that my back is freely open and is a target to someone. It seems someone tried to harm Oliver, but actually Oliver was not the target. I think it is you. Oh...so dizzy. I need to sleep.''

Her eyes closed even before the elevator door opened and he took her out. Felling her thin body in his arms made him go highwire. He tried to calm his anger as he walked towards the house. Aisa already was there waiting with a big smile.

''I will sleep tonight at my friend's house. We want to play games all night, don't let mom know. See you.'' She had a full bag of snacks and waved at him as she escaped through the door of the elevator.

At first, he was stunned but then his smile became bright. ''This is convenient. She can never completely disappear so we can ''send'' her to sleepover or training from time to time... Niceeee.'' He naughtily sent a glance at the completely obvious woman that serenely slept in his arms.

After he put her on the bed he whispered in her ears. ''I will let you off for now as I know how exhausted you are, but do not think you can escape me forever, my sweet Emma.''

He smiled again and went to take a shower. For now, he will stay here, with her. As he washed of weeks of staleness he was happy about that uniform she made. It was completely breathable and he never had any odor like others. Just not washing for a long time, his skin became itchy. He rubbed a bunch of dead skin of him and felt like a snake that shaded its dead skin.

After hot wash, he stood there absolutely naked as he had no clothes to change and just took a big towel to wrap himself into. The temperature inside the shelter as always the same temperature so even if he walked naked he wouldn't feel any discomfort. But he didn't want to shock too much Emma when she wakes up.

He put the uniform into the washing machine and watched on tv the progress of the zombies. This time they were no wildly jumping and rushing. No, this time they went slowly but steadily, like a tide that brings a lot of water.

But that was not the stranges behavior. On their way, many zombies joined in. The moment certain amount of zombies join they would make that Death Vortex again and just kill those that can't hold on or are to slow. They continued, from one city towards the other. By this pace, it will take them more than two-three weeks to go to the other side of the continent.

Not knowing what those people in the government had in the plan he made the decision to get as many people to help out by harvesting. He remembered the fields he flew over and planned to make all the farmers go out and harvest as much as they could. He would send the troops to clean the fields of possible zombies and the farmers will have full body protection, just in case of insects and animal zombies.

Wasting food is against all thoughts in this case. They need it all. There is no such thing as too much. With all those things in his mind, he went to bed grabbed softly Emma into his arms and fell asleep. He needs sleep as well.

After a long sleep, Emma felt somewhat heavy. Like a log, something pressed over her and when she opened her eyes she was met with a beautiful but tired face. Mario had really good looking face. Long black eyelashes, a bit of sun-tanned skin, full lips and it seems the beard he grew was for him to hide his appearance. But the similarity to Oliver was obvious even with his beard so he shaved it off and let his beautiful chin open.

She smiled as she watched him and suddenly got shocked. His eyes popped open and he gave her a strangely hot gaze. ''If you continue wiggling I will stop considering how tired you are and might show you how much energy I have left.''

He turned her on her back while pressing her under his body. His whole upper body was in front of her eyes and the abs were so well developed that her eyes couldn't stop staring at them. She could feel his pressure and suddenly she started getting red.

Just now she realized how close they are and that under that towel he was completely naked.

Her flustered expression made him smile brightly but he just stood up from her and tapped her head with the forefinger. ''You are so tired. Do you think I am some kind of monster that would make woman mine if she is not willing or able? Sleep a bit longer. Oliver is handling most of the things and I will go and help with harvesting stores.''

She nodded and was about to fall asleep when she opened them again. ''Small stores as well, restaurants, houses, go to villages as well. While doing that you guys can clean up the surroundings from all the zombies. Get weapons, food, seeds, clothes, anything they think it's usable... We have enough space to store things.''

He nodded. ''I planned to send people to harvest all the grains in surroundings. It would be wasteful if we don't. We have enough people and enough time for that.''

She weekly nodded. ''Do that... '' and feel asleep.

He saw that her face now looked a bit better than before and smiled. He lowered his head and pressed a tiny little kiss on her forehead. ''Sleep well.''

After he went out she opened her eyes and smiled, then she cuddled into the soft blankets again and fell asleep again. It's so nice if she doesn't have to run to handle everything. But then sighed. This will be peaceful just a little while. What will happen after that?

Soon darkness enveloped her and she fell asleep.
