"We won't have to fight on an empty stomach tomorrow. The four cookbooks have already allowed me to unlock barbecue, Autumn Kirin tea, and black tea. With just these two plants, I can boil water with these properties and drink it."

Hong Xia quickly built a bonfire and set up the cooking pot.

"Oh, and this, a grill, is for grilling."

"Grits and a bottle of water make cornbread. . . . Let me try making one."

Yang Ming felt warm in his heart as he looked at the busy little figure.

"Okay, our team's meals will be handed over to the young cook Hong Xia."

"Hum~"

She proudly puffed out her slightly heaving chest and began researching in her backpack.

"Speaking of Autumn Kirin and Black Tea..."

Yang Ming handed over a large bunch of goldenrod and chrysanthemums.

I picked up a lot of them while cutting wood. I originally just thought they looked nice, but when I collected them, they turned out to be one of the materials.

They are the raw materials for black tea and autumn unicorn tea.

"You actually have it, that's great!"

Looking at the burning bonfire, this small space under the triangular roof becomes warm.

![](008.webp)

Although they gave up the larger second floor, in such a small space, not only is safety guaranteed, but the two can see each other at all times, which quickly increases their sense of security.

While waiting for the campfire to cook food, she sorted out the bullets and supplies she had looted today and gave the shotgun bullets to Yang Ming.

"I have 35 rounds of pistol ammunition, and Mr. Yang Ming has 20. Maybe we can use guns more for fighting tomorrow."

"It's still not enough. Save it, unless you encounter a situation that can't be solved in a short time with a hammer and a bow."

Looking at the girl squatting in front of the campfire, Yang Ming thought for a moment.

"Why don't you take a bath with water today?"

"Eh--?"

"Seven bottles of water. Drink two bottles tonight and save two bottles for tomorrow's battle. That's enough. With our current combat power, we'll gain more tomorrow."

"There's no need to be so stingy in distributing supplies anymore."

"Use three bottles of water to take a shower. Look at the rag material. When it becomes cloth and enters the backpack, it is actually quite clean. You can wet it and use it to wipe your body."

"And there's unopened soap in the cabinet under the bathroom sink."

As he spoke, he saw the girl becoming more and more moved.

"Okay then." She looked very happy.

It has been two days, and he hasn't washed his body properly for two whole days. Maybe it's not a big problem for Yang Ming, and he can just bear it, but now that he has decided to make Hong Xia his white silk loli mother, he still has to pay attention to his basic image.

He didn't want to look greasy, and Hong Xia naturally didn't want that either.

Although water is the key to survival here, judging from the efficiency of looting, there is no need to worry too much about water for survival, and Yang Ming already has a plan.

The three [Forging Guides] allowed him to unlock a very important item, but he didn't have enough materials yet. Maybe he could make it tomorrow.

At the same time, the weapons of the two were also updated.

[Stone Hammer v3] Melee damage has reached 21.6, which is a significant increase compared to the previous 18.

[Iron Barrel Shotgun v3] Ranged damage is 8.9, the previous one was 8.1.

Hongxia also got a weapon besides the wooden bow, a Colt 1911 pistol.

If the hit rate is not taken into consideration, the pistol can be used as a weapon for finishing off enemies at close range, and its output efficiency is far higher than any weapon in their hands.

Judging from the two level 2 houses searched today, the danger level has been fully grasped. Even if the fat man and the helmet brother were to touch Yang Ming's face, he would only be touched twice.

If the spike traps and building blocks are used properly, Yang Ming feels that there is a chance to try the third-level building.

However, it is troublesome not to know the danger level of a building without entering it, and he does not have time to record the indicators of each building one by one.

Being radical means working harder and more proactively to upgrade and scavenge for supplies, rather than risking your life.

Hong Xia stared closely at the food and water being prepared in the campfire and was silent for a moment.

"Mr. Yang Ming! Autumn Qilin tea and black tea have different properties. I feel that black tea is better."

He took the two bottles of water handed to him by Hongxia.

[Autumn Kirin Tea]: Greatly increases the recovery speed of dysentery. Water +24, Stamina recovery +15, cures dysentery.

Black Tea: Black tea is an ancient Chinese secret, renowned for its antioxidant properties. Increases hydration by +24, Stamina recovery by +15, and digestion efficiency by +15.

What does efficient digestion mean?

【——Reduce the speed at which food is reduced. 】

A cold voice came from the survival game panel. It seemed that this was the only answer to this question.

He had previously tried to ask questions like [Why has the world become like this?], [What exactly does a survival game mean?], [Are Hongxia and I the only players?], and [Is there a chance of resurrection after death?], but the panelist never responded.

It seems that this is all the information I can get. Hong Xia took two bottles of water and prepared to go downstairs.

Yang Ming looked at the girl's back.

After a moment, he still felt that he should confess.

"Hongxia, there is something I want to tell you."

“Eh! What… is that?”

Ijichi Hongxia became nervous. This atmosphere, coupled with the things he had gradually revealed before, could it be - a confession!

Chapter 23 Girl and the Bathroom

"I'm sorry, I dragged you into this inexplicable world without your permission."

There is nothing to hide about this matter. If there are achievement rewards to be exchanged in the future, then it will definitely not be concealed.

Now that you have made a choice in your heart, you must be honest with yourself.

He has always demanded this of himself.

"I have some idea as to why you came to this world."

Yang Ming told her everything he knew.

Achievement reward exchange, airdrop box...

Hongxia held the water and tilted her head slightly.

"Why are you apologizing? It's obviously not Yang Ming's fault."

She looked down the broken staircase and entered the dim corridor after nightfall. Only a little light from the third floor came through the exit to the second floor, which was dark and eerie.

"There's absolutely no need to apologize to me. Wasn't Mr. Yang Ming also kept in the dark? And judging by the situation, even if the survival game wanted me to participate, we wouldn't be able to resist."

"Rather, it's a blessing to be able to meet Mr. Yang Ming and play games with you."

"I can't imagine being left here alone..."

Hong Xia chose not to finish her words, but looked at the darkness below.

A wave of tenderness arose in his heart. Could this person... be an angel transformed into a human?

He was clearly prepared to scold himself out of anger, although it was hard for him to imagine that Ijichi Hongxia would do such a thing.

"So that's what you think..."

"Does Mr. Yang Ming think I will blame you?"

"Ahahaha... I did have that worry before. So, why aren't you coming down yet? Do you want to chat with me for a while?"

Yang Ming watched Hong Xia hesitate for a long time before going downstairs. He smelled fear from her slender back.

“I’m a little scared…”

Hongxia turned around with an expression that looked like she was about to cry. Although girls like cleanliness, she would never dare to stay alone in such an environment.

Last night, she ran into Yang Ming's room because she was too scared to be alone.

This is completely understandable. Even Yang Ming, who seems to be completely unafraid of zombies, can't help but feel nervous when he is alone in the dark.

"Then I'll go downstairs with you."

In order to prevent the second floor from being invaded by zombies, the door on the first floor has long been blocked by building blocks, and the stairs leading to the second floor have also been demolished. The second and third floors are temporary safe areas.

Hong Xia's face suddenly turned red. She turned around, and Yang Ming clearly saw the melancholy in her beautiful red eyes. He suddenly reacted and his face turned red in an instant.

Both doors of the bathroom on the second floor were broken.

If both of them were on the second floor, and Hong Xia was drying herself inside... then...

"I promise I won't peek."

"Really···"

Ijichi Hongxia asked subconsciously, and suddenly found that her worry was a particularly funny question.

In her heart, she approved of Yang Ming's character. If he was an evil person with ulterior motives, she would not have the opportunity to obtain weapons and supplies. With his fighting ability, he would have the opportunity to take her by force at any time.

In front of a tall man who could smash a zombie's head with a sledgehammer and move quickly while holding himself with one hand, Hong Xia could not think of any way to protect herself.

Of course, the sense of security that Hong Xia can now draw from him comes entirely from the trust that has been built up over the past two days of getting along.

"No...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Hongxia reacted and twirled her clothes with her fingers.

"Ahem...there's nothing to apologize for."

Of course Yang Ming had some thoughts about her.

But...love is something that requires mutual consent. If you are too impatient, it will instantly make people lose control.

What he hoped was that Hong Xia would agree to him shyly, not in that way.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming took a deep breath.

"Hongxia, just call me Yang Ming from now on. It's a bit weird to keep calling me Mr."

"Then, I admit that I do... Yes, I like you, and I have fantasized about a future with you."

"But I'm not the type to take advantage of others in distress. You should know that. Besides, don't you have a pistol in your backpack? If I really had any intentions, you could just hit me in the head twice. I only have 100 health points, so I'd definitely die."

After hearing this, Yidi Chi Hongxia didn't know what to say for a moment... Mr. Yang Ming was probably the most straightforward and frank person she had ever met.

"Is this... a confession?"

Yang Ming looked at the slightly confused eyes, and a soft feeling welled up in his heart.

"Well, but I don't need you to respond so quickly. You can think about it more."

"I was thinking of telling you in Neon after this game is over."

"But now the atmosphere is there, and you should be able to see it."

"I won't hide it anymore, just in case..."

"Nothing, let's go, I'll go downstairs with you."

Hongxia couldn't help but wonder in her heart what he was about to say just now.

But she seemed to guess it.

in the bathroom.

Hong Xia's fingers clutched the soaked rag, the rustling sound of the fabric rubbing against the tiles being particularly clear in the confined space. Water droplets slid down her slender neck, converging into a trembling silver line at her collarbone.

"Yang...Ming?

The broken call was stuck in her throat, and she remembered the pine scent she smelled when she curled up beside him last night.

"I'm here, don't worry~"

"it is good···"
