Ch 096. Fever

It was almost evening now, she decided not to think about these things for the time being, and prepared to prepare hot water in advance, so that when Yao come back, he could take a comfortable hot bath.

She first put two cauldrons filled with water on the stove respectively, and then turned the button to start the fire.

Looking at the two pots of water, Asuna sighed softly with a complicated expression, and kept stroking the hairs hanging down from the temple on the right side.

Yao promised that he would take her to the Yukinoshita camp to find her daughter, and patiently guide her in marksmanship.

Taking good care of him in life was the only way she could think of in return.

Besides this, is there a more appropriate way to repay him...

Thinking of this, Asuna suddenly felt a little hot on her cheeks.

During these two days of getting along, she could somewhat sense the possessiveness that Yao showed from time to time when facing her.

Perhaps for other women who are also in the apocalypse, it is a dream to find a man who is worth relying on.

And even before the apocalypse, this kind of thing does not violate the law and morality, at most it will be pointed out by the aunts and grandmothers in the neighborhood.

But she... For the time being, she still couldn't accept this.

Thinking of this, Asuna suddenly recalled her dream last night, and became a little more flustered in her heart.

Maybe after finding Yui, confirming her safety, and getting along with him for a period of time, maybe she might fall in love with this reliable little man.

Just as she was blushing and thinking wildly, there was a faint sound from the main door.

"Is Yao-kun back?"

Although Asuna was a little surprised, she was not completely overwhelmed by joy, but immediately walked toward the living room, picked up the rifle and walked carefully to the door.

When she saw Yao with a tired face, she was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly walked up to him.

"Yao-kun, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the little man whose hair were completely wet by the rain, Asuna was slightly taken aback, and quickly put the gun in her hand aside, and wiped the rainwater that was still falling on his face with her hands.

"It's okay, just give me a towel first."

Yao raised his hand to stop her movement, and after finishing the sentence in a weak tone, he dragged his moderately paralyzed body towards the living room.

"Yao-kun..."

Asuna murmured softly, not knowing why he behaved very differently than usual.

But thinking of what he said, she didn't have the time to think about it any further, she hurried to the bathroom.

"Mhhmm..."

Lying on the soft sofa, Yao let out a long sigh of relief, he could clearly feel the powerlessness emanating from the cells of his whole body.

This feeling of discomfort is partly due to the sequelae of the zombie virus invasion, and more due to the the body's immune system.

Just a few hours ago, Yao dealt with the four mist zombies that surrounded him.

In order to further ascertain information about this type of zombie, he did not choose to return here, but continued hunting.

The price of doing so is obvious, that is, there are countless dense small holes on different parts of his body.

He also finally figured out that the small holes on the body are the deepest attack method hidden by the smoke zombies.

When its tongue is wrapped around the prey's body, spikes will pop out from the surface of the tongue, injecting a small amount of toxin into the prey's body.

This toxin has the effect of paralysis, which can slowly reduce the prey's combat effectiveness.

Although the amount of poison is very weak, Yao has been attacked too frequently, no matter how strong his body is, he can't bear it.

Glancing at the overwhelmed woman standing beside her, Yao took the towel and prepared to wipe his body before going to rest.

"Yao-kun, let me do it."

Seeing his slow movements and his extremely weak appearance, Asuna took back the towel in his hand, and with his cooperation, took off his water-stained black tights.

When he saw the many small holes on his body and the red skin around the wound, Asuna suddenly felt distressed.

She didn't know exactly what zombies caused these wounds, and she didn't know whether Yao would feel pain when touching these wounds, so she could only carefully choose to go around and wipe off the rainwater on his body with a dry towel .

Yao lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, resisting the discomfort and said softly.

"Asuna, you can practice by yourself today, I am too exhausted to help."

"Um."

Hearing her soft reply, Yao didn't think much about it, completely relaxed the muscles of his whole body, and his breathing gradually became steady.

Seeing him sleeping soundly, Asuna looked at his wet pants and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

She stared at Yao's sleeping face, struggled for a moment before she blushed and finally helped him remove them.

 …

After an unknown amount of time, Yao suddenly realized that he was being lifted.

Is it Asuna?

His consciousness was a little dizzy, he barely opened his eyes, and glanced to the left with the corner of his eyes.

But after seeing the side face of this beautiful young woman clearly, he smiled helplessly, and could only mobilize what little physical strength he had left to cooperate with her.

Sensing that the weight on her shoulders had suddenly become much lighter, Asuna turned her head to look at the little man who was in the state of being lifted up by her, met his burning eyes, and explained in a low voice with a blushing face.

"Yao-kun, you got caught in the rain just now, and now you have a fever, so you can't  sleep directly, you need to take a hot bath first."

Have a fever?

Yao was taken aback for a moment, no wonder he felt extremely thirsty in his throat and the temperature on his forehead was abnormally high.

Can the fever go away before the typhoon passes?

Yao was a little uncertain. When he was injured or sick in the main god space before, he only needed spend some points to recover, so he didn't know much about this aspect of knowledge.

The only thing he knows and has personally experienced is that he has not been sick for a very long time, but once he gets sick, it would be extremely difficult, and the sickness will last for a long time.

But thinking of his stronger physique than ordinary people, he temporarily put this worry behind his head, and was carried into the bathroom by Asuna.

Through the candlelight, he clearly saw the steaming water in the bathtub not far away.

More than half of the water in the bathtub made him frown slightly, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"what time is it now?"

"Around 7pm."

Although she didn't know why he asked this question, Asuna answered honestly.

"You boiled this water for the whole two hours?"

Looking at her weak expression, Yao felt a burst of boredom for no reason, and before she could answer, he asked again in a deep voice.

"So, are you going to wait for me to finish washing, so you can soak in the cold bath water?"

"Yao-kun, you...?"

Sensing the displeasure in his tone, Asuna was a little at a loss, but still gave a soft "hmm".
