Transmigrated as the Domesticated Rabbit of the Sick and Frail Villain in the Apocalypse - CH 49.3

After checking the facilities of the house, Zhao Sihui stuck her head out of the kitchen and said somewhat helplessly, “There is no electricity.”

She took out a large handful of candles from the cupboard. “I guess the power has not been restored throughout the base. It’s all instant vacuum-packaged food in the cupboard, and they even gave us firewood.”

The few of them had grown accustomed to life with electricity they had enjoyed in the City Z Base, where cooking and doing laundry had been convenient. As the saying goes, ‘transitioning from frugality to luxury is easy, but transitioning from luxury to frugality is difficult.’ They were not quite used to having a stready electricity supply suddenly missing from their lives.

After Zhao Sihui soaked the sheets, she couldn’t help laughing. “We’re being pretentious.”

At the same time, in a large villa in River Glory Base, Zuo Tai and his confidants were discussing Jin Yang’s team, which had just arrived in City A today.

“What are your thoughts?” Zuo Tai inquired.

Beside him sat a circle of people. There were a few more people present in addition to Kou Binbai and the two evolved people who had gone to meet them during the day.

“I don’t know about their strength, but I think that the leader is quite arrogant.” One of the evolved people who had seen them curled his lips. “Didn’t they say he has a leg injury? I couldn’t tell.”

“I’ve heard that he can’t overexert himself, but commuting should not be a problem. After all, he is a well known figure in City Z Base.”

Different from the righteous expression Zuo Tai had displayed in front of Jin Yang, there was some impatience on his face. “I don’t know if this team is up to the task.”

“”

In fact, he didn’t have a sliver of hope within his heart. With so many people dying at River Glory Base, he didn’t quite believe that the Morning Sun team could turn things around.

If he hadn’t been the leader of the base, he would have wanted to run away.

Kou Binbai said quietly beside him, “Don’t worry. They’re a team that has killed a level five mutated animal after all. They must be quite capable. By the way, about the team from City B…”

Zuo Tai’s face darkened, and the corner of his mouth tensed into a straight line.

City B was very close to River Glory, and according to the original plan, they should have arrived at the base yesterday. He had no idea why there hadn’t been any news from them. They had gone out for two consecutive days to greet them with no success. This caused him to hold back a fire that was burning in his heart.

He pressed down the corners of his twitching eyes. “We’ll wait for a little longer.”

On their first night at River Glory Base, all of them felt a little uncomfortable.

There was no yard here, so the black wolf slept on the sofa in the living room. The living room looked particularly dark without lights and with its entire body and fur blended into the darkness, when it was lying still, it was impossible to notice a wolf on the sofa.

In the evening, Jin Yang had removed the bedsheets from Yin Yiliu’s little bed, washed them twice, and wiped the wooden headboard clean before he allowed her to go to bed.

Because there was no electricity here, Yin Yiliu’s bath water was boiled by Jin Yang in a pot. After patting the little girl’s hair dry, he hastily wiped his body with cold water.

There were no lights in the bedroom, only a red candle burning quietly. Jin Yang wiped his body and put on clothes. When he entered the room, he saw Yin Yiliu sitting by the bed while shaking her little feet.

“Are you cold ya?” Although Jin Yang had always been in good health, she was still a little worried.

She jumped off the bed. Her little white feet stepped on the furry slippers as she ran to Jin Yang’s side and touched the back of the man’s hand with her plump hand.

She became even more worried when she sensed that his hand was cold to the touch.

Jin Yang stroked the little girl’s soft ears as his lips slightly hooked into a smile. “Don’t worry. I’m not cold, I’ll be fine in a while.”

The orange-red candlelight reflected on his profile, and the light and shadow depicted his handsome features. Yin Yiliu was stunned looking at him.

She bowed her head with an “oh” and threw herself into her little bed.

She couldn’t resist herself from rolling around in the soft bed. Like an old father, Jin Yang walked to the edge and told her to put on her blanket.

As the night deepened, the already quiet River Glory Base fell into a dead silence.

Behind the bald tree outside the front door, there were three sneaky figures hiding behind the trunk, stretching their heads to peep into the house.

“What do you see?”

The three of them were all middle-aged, their clothes were tattered, and the night wind was chilly, but what made them even more uncomfortable was their ravenous hunger.

“There’s no light inside. I can’t see anything clearly. I think they’re probably asleep.”

The leader among them was a tall and thin man. The small eyes on his shriveled face squinted at the window, but all he saw was darkness.

“Let’s go inside. They must be sleeping,” The tall and thin man said.

“Are you sure there’s food inside?” The man behind him hesitated and didn’t dare to act. “These are people Zuo Tai personally brought in. They must be evolved people. We’re doomed if we’re discovered.”

“If you’re afraid, only two of us will go in. If we find meat, you won’t get a piece of it!”

When the man heard about meat, he hesitated again. He gritted his teeth. “You’re certain there’s meat?”

“I’m certain! Don’t you trust my nose?”
