Ch 072. The Tired Yao

From morning to evening, until the sun's rays fade away.

Piles of zombies fell to the ground, and without exception, they all died in a miserable way.

Holding the weapon that was already stained with blood from the zombies, Yao continued to take deep breaths to calm down his high heart rate.

After a while, the blood flow in the body began to slow down, and the beating heart slowly returned to normal.

"Yao-kun, let's finish here for today."

Sayuri standing behind him looked a little pale.

It's not just because she didn't rest for half a day, but more because she witnessed the man in front of her violently killing zombies the whole time.

Looking at the zombie blood and unknown liquid scattered everywhere on the ground, as well as the bloody smell permeating the street, her legs couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"Ok, let's find a place to stay."

Yao was also a little bit tired, although after a ten-minute rest, he recovered a little physical strength.

But after all, the body is not made of iron. At this time, he and his team members must eat enough food and get enough sleep.

He took out a bottle of water from the space, raised his head and drank it "gulu gulu".

"Yao-kun..."

Yao was taken aback by the resentful gaze, but he quickly realized that he forgot that Sayuri didn't had the access to the team space.

"For you."

After taking out another bottle of water and throwing it over, Yao looked around, looking for a suitable place to rest.

After unscrewing the cap of the bottle and taking a few swigs, Sayuri pursed her moist red lips as she looked at the water left in the bottle, with a hesitant expression on her face.

She originally wanted to hold it in her hand, but then she remembered that there might be dangers ahead, and if she dropped it after meeting a zombie, it would be a waste.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing her tangled expressions, Yao was a little puzzled.

"It's okay." Sayuri smiled and shook her head, not thinking about it.

She handed over the uncapped mineral water bottle to him, "I can't finish it, you can drink it, Yao-kun."

"Have you recovered?"

"I just checked. There is no suitable place to stay near here. We may have to walk a while later."

After asking, Yao took the water bottle and poured it directly into his mouth.

As for whether Sayuri had drink from it before, he doesn't care at all. It's the apocalypse, how can one pay attention to such things now.

"It still seems to be a little difficult."

Sayuri smiled wryly. After running around for a whole day, her physical strength could no longer support her.

"Don't worry, tomorrow will be easy."

Taking a look at the team points, Yao directly exchanged for the QBZ-95 rifle, but he didn't hand it to Sayuri directly, but held it in his hand.

After all, this team member is no longer able to fight, so he simply used it first.

"Come up, otherwise, in your current state, you may pass out if you move forward for a while."

Walking in front of her and squatting with his back, Yao observed the surrounding road conditions, thinking in his heart that it would be more appropriate to take that road.

"Um..."

Sayuri, who was extremely tired, nodded her somewhat heavy head, and slowly lay down on his back.

In order not to fall down, she could only hold his neck tightly with both hands.

After confirming that it was safe, Sayuri slowly closed her eyes, the exhaustion accumulated throughout the day kept occupying her mind, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

As her breathing gradually stabilized, Yao smiled peacefully, it seemed that this team member was really tired.

Looking up at the moon that had already appeared in the sky, he held a rifle and quickly left the street that had been occupied by the moonlight.

 …

When Sayuri woke up again, she found herself lying on a big soft bed, while Yao was sitting on a wooden bench by the window.

"Yao-kun... how long have I been asleep?"

She frowned somewhat uncomfortably, and kept rubbing her hands on her lower abdomen, trying to calm down her hungry stomach a little.

"Almost three hours, it should be almost 10 o'clock now."

Sayuri was taken aback by Yao's tired voice.

Because his back was facing the window, under the reflection of the moonlight, the poor light made it impossible for Sayuri to see his face clearly.

Dinner is here, I've already eaten."

Following his fingers, Sayuri's eyes fixed on the bedside table.

Bread, and hot milk...?

Sayuri picked up the milk bottle with some doubts, and through the glass, she could feel the heat coming out.

"It's good luck, this family uses gas cylinders." Yao relieved her inner doubts with a light smile.

Even though the steaming hot food was already in her hand, Sayuri was not in a hurry to eat it.

She lifted the quilt, her eyes stayed on her bare feet for half a second, and then she moved her body, gracefully hanging her legs from the edge of the bed.

"Eh?"

To her surprise, there was already a pair of indoor shoes placed under the bed.

However, she didn't struggle too much, but immediately got out of bed and made way for him.

"Yao-kun, take a rest."

After approaching, Sayuri clearly saw his exhausted face, and couldn't help lovingly caressing his brows gently.

To support a team in the apocalypse, one can't imagine how much pressure he shoulders.

"Then I'll ask you to watch the night."

"By the way, the rifle is under the stool, but you probably won't need it tonight. I've cleaned up all the zombies around before."

"If you are sleepy, you can continue to take a rest, just remember not to sleep too deeply."

Yao, who had been sleepy for a long time, didn't care about the actions of the teammate, and stood up after giving a few instructions.

He had already showered, so after yawning, he took off his indoor shoes and fell on the bed that was still 'warm and fragnant'.

Carefully covering him with the quilt, Sayuri smiled softly, and sat on the stool that was still warm, then picked up the bread and tore open the package, chewing it in small mouthfuls.

As time passed, the moon quietly hid behind the clouds, and the light in the room became dim.

After eating a few packages of bread, Sayuri lightly took the milk bottle. It seemed that this bottle of milk had not been heated for a long time, and hot gas was still coming out after opening the cork.

Milk with high nutritional value slowly flows from the red lips into the throat.

After taking a few sips, Sayuri turned her head and looked out the window, crossed her legs, and just quietly stared at the 'moon' that appeared from time to time behind the clouds.

Gradually, at some point, her eyes were covered with a layer of crystal clear tears.

"How long has it been..."

The inaudible soliloquy only lingered in the void for a few seconds before dissipating.

How long?

I have always cared about others. How long has it been since someone cared about me like this...?

Thinking of this, she shook her head with a wry smile, interrupting her sentimentality, and didn't think much about it.

After raising her head and drinking all the milk, she left the room lightly, preparing to take a cold shower to wash away the tiredness of the day and eliminate the 'sultry heat' brought about by the hot summer.

As soon as the door was closed, her body paused, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and then she stretched lazily.

"Since Yao-kun said it's fine, then I'll take a rest later."

"But I forgot to ask Yao-kun, the condition of Saeko and Utah's group."

After talking to herself, she groped towards the bathroom with the help of the faint moonlight.
