You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Chapter 95 Underestimation and Overestimation

"don't shoulder everything by yourself."

"i will be with you."

zhang ye was by then completely immersed in the broad embrace of the woman.

it felt like plunging headfirst into cotton.

soft and comfortable.

without any hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her, and amidst her exclamations, he pressed their bodies tightly together.

ai bing's mature body displayed its allure to the fullest extent at that moment.

every ounce of flesh seemed to be just right.

zhang ye greedily inhaled the woman's scent, and his hands began to misbehave, kneading behind her back, enjoying the delightful sensation as if ripples were flowing between his fingers.

"all right!"

"what are you doing!"

"we're talking about serious matters, what are you groping for?"

ai bing said this, yet the hand cradling his head did not loosen its grip, and instead, there was a hint of indulgence in her eyes.

zhang ye smiled carelessly, his hands not ceasing their movements.

"i thought you were going to comfort me with your body."

"seems like i misunderstood, huh."

he said it with a feigned disappointment, lowering his head, but his hands continued to knead the round and full soft flesh on ai bing's back.

the woman gave him a white look, but her tone remained very gentle.

"it's just a mutant rat."

"we just have to be more careful in the future, what's there to worry about?"

zhang ye, hearing the concern in the woman's words, felt somewhat moved, and simply laid out all his worries.

sure enough, after listening, ai bing immediately fell silent.

after what felt like several minutes, her voice, cool yet with a hint of warmth, sounded again.

"zhang ye."

"you might be overthinking."

upon hearing this, zhang ye looked up from her chest with a puzzled expression.

"what do you mean?"

ai bing smiled at him and asked:

"counting from the day the zombie outbreak started, how long has it been until today?"

"just under two months."

zhang ye nodded subconsciously.

two months ago, he was still desperately looking for a job.

if it weren't for the apartment and a savings of tens of thousands left by his parents before they passed away, he might've had to worry about starving to death even without the zombies coming after him.nôv(el)b\\jnn

longing also appeared in ai bing's eyes, but it quickly turned into admiration.

zhang ye was suddenly at a loss for words.

it seemed that might indeed be the case.

seeing him deflated, ai bing's expression grew even more confident.

"moreover, even if all the rats were to mutate, how long would that take?"

"it would probably take at least a few months, right?"

"and what about you?"

"you have accomplished what you have in just one month; have you thought about what it will be like a few months from now?"

zhang ye, though silent, had already agreed with ai bing's viewpoint in his heart.

his power would definitely be much greater than it is now in a few months.

by then, he might even have guns and cannons, right?

even if he didn't, who knew whether the rats would swarm to attack his base then?

were the hundreds of thousands of zombies in sanjiang city not enough for them to eat?

and even if that wasn't enough, the worst case scenario, they could just run, right?

what's the rush?

ai bing's gaze had been observing his expression all along.

seeing that the annoyance on zhang ye's face had lessened considerably, her smile became even brighter.

"furthermore, there's the issue of your concern about the zombie-like creatures not being up to par."

"i think you may have fallen into a misconception, which i need to correct for you."

zhang ye was suddenly taken aback, "a misconception?"

"what misconception?"

ai bing turned her head to glance at the figures patrolling and working outside, her tone becoming serious.

"i don't know if you've noticed."

"the zombie-like creatures are actually a type of... creature with very clear strengths and weaknesses."

"they don't need to eat, they don't need to rest, and they don't feel any pain or injury."

"thus, as long as orders are set in advance, they will continue to execute those orders until their bodies are completely destroyed, like a sort of—"

she paused here for a moment, then uttered two words from her mouth.

"worker."

"or rather, machine."

"but because of the virus in their bodies and their inability to feel pain, they can also serve as soldiers to a certain degree."

workers and soldiers?

zhang ye gave a wry smile when he heard this.

this woman really had a way with words, picking out just the right terms.

"the misconception you have is right here."

"you've underestimated the value of these zombie-like creatures as workers, but overestimated their abilities as soldiers."
