Chapter 248: Chapter 134 The Only Belief_3
“It’s right here! Still alive, but very weak!”
Han Rui pointed at an opening.
Wang Tao discovered it was the entrance to a basement.
“Did she hide in the basement?”
Wang Tao took some effort, but finally cleared the entrance to the basement.
She found that the basement was specially designed, with a large iron door lying flat and an electronic lock on top.
He couldn’t break the lock… Fortunately, he didn’t know whether Li Qiuyu did it on purpose or forgot, but the door wasn’t locked.
Boom—
Wang Tao strained to open the door, and the sunlight instantly shone into the dark cavity. He immediately saw a woman lying on the floor of the basement, wearing pajamas.
Her HP was [10/100]
Just 10 drops of blood, at the brink of death.
After Han Rui confirmed there were no zombies inside, Wang Tao had Han Rui keep watch while he went down.
“Hey, wake up!”
Wang Tao propped up Li Qjuyu, who looked pale and had lost weight, then patted her face gently.
When she didn’t respond, Wang Tao took out some purified water from the Space Backpack and sprinkled it on her face and lips.
A moment later, Li Qiuyu opened her eyes.
“You… Wang Tao… ”
Her expression was still somewhat vague.
Seeing her awake, Wang Tao didn’t say much else, just carried her away. “Let’sgo!”
Han Rui hurried to drive, and Wang Tao carried Li Qjuyu into the back seat. The car started immediately, heading for Shuize Base.
On the car, Wang Tao, with no regard for traditional feelings about men and women’s contact, quickly checked Li Qjuyu’s body.
She had many wounds, but they were mostly scrapes and bruises, with no signs of virus infection. Wang Tao also pulled back her eyelids to look, and found no whiteness. Her body also did not have any impurities…
Seeing this, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought Li Qjuyu’s critically low HP was probably due to some external injuries and hunger.
Wang Tao took out a bottle of Potion and poured a little bit into Li Qjuyu’s mouth. That bottle was enough for an ordinary adult’s energy consumption for one day, and if she had too much, she might not be able to handle it.
Then Wang Tao took out a medical kit, injected her with a Potion, and bandaged her up simply.
Before long, Li Qjuyu’s HP began to rise.
When it reached 30 HP, Li Qjuyu opened her eyes.
“Am… am I dead…”
Li Qiuyu, still not quite used to the light, covered her eyes with one hand while blindly grabbing with the other.
But suddenly, a warm, rough hand took hold of hers. Li Qjuyu instinctively tried to pull away but failed.
She slowly came back to her senses and looked at Wang Tao with eyes that had slightly adjusted to the light.
“Wang Tao? Are you… did you die too?”
What kind of thing is that to say!
Wang Tao slapped her face lightly, then said with resignation:
“I’m not dead, and neither are you.”
“Ah?”
Li Qiuyu was startled for a moment before she realized she was actually in Wang Tao’s arms, and they were in a car, with Han Rui driving in front.
Li Qiuyu quickly sat up and then looked at Wang Tao somewhat embarrassedly.
“What… what exactly happened… I thought I was dead?”
“We found you in the basement, saw you were still alive, so we brought you out.”
Wang Tao shrugged.
“Basement… I remember now!”
Li Qiuyu suddenly widened her eyes as though she remembered something terrifying. She spoke weakly:
“I was still asleep, and suddenly I heard some noises. When I opened my eyes, I saw a huge zombie in my yard… I was startled, screamed instinctively, which drew its attention, then it started to tear down my house… I managed to crawl to the basement from the second floor, just got into hiding when I heard a loud bang, and the house seemed to collapse…”
Thinking back to the earlier situation, Li Qiuyu was still somewhat frightened.
” Thank goodness my basement was reinforced by my husband before to keep some important things, and it even had a thick electric iron door, but there was no food left in my basement… After that zombie visited, the door seemed to have broken, and I couldn’t get out. I thought I was going to starve to death in there…”
At that point, Li Qiuyu looked at Wang Tao and Han Rui with a face full of gratitude.
“How did you guys… ”
“A week ago, we saw a huge gorilla-like zombie heading in your direction. We were no match for it, so we didn’t go over. We thought you were dead… This time passing by your place, I thought to take a look, just in case you weren’t dead, and turns out you indeed weren’t…”
Wang Tao didn’t hide anything or exaggerate, simply recounting the events as they happened.
Although he made it sound simple, as if it was something he did casually, Li Qiuyu was still immensely grateful. After all, she remembered her house was in ruins, and even if it was casual for Wang Tao, it wasn’t easy to casually rescue her from the basement…
“Thank you, Wang Tao, and Han Rui, thank you both!”
Li Qiuyu clasped her hands together, full of gratitude.
“Oh? Didn’t you want to die before? Now you don’t want to die anymore?”
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
He could feel that Li Qiuyu still had a strong desire to live, otherwise she might have died already.
Li Qiuyu tidied her hair, her face a mix of embarrassment and self-deprecation.
“Sigh! I thought I had become accustomed to death, I thought I was no longer afraid to die… But when my life was truly threatened, I found out I was still afraid of dying…”
There was something else she didn’t mention, which was her desire to see her daughter again. Although she had witnessed most of her close family die, her daughter was still alive before and had told her she would come to find her… Her daughter was her only reason to keep living!
