"Huh!? Why are you here?" Tang Shaoyang was not expecting the woman would follow him after what happened just now. She thought she would be scared of him.
"Because this is the safest place?" Li Shuang replied calmly. At least, she tried to be calm which was impossible after what she witnessed just now.
Tang Shaoyang accepted the answer with a nod, "You and your daughter can have the bedroom, I will stay in the living room,' He did not choose the best room as he only stayed in this room for half or maybe an hour. A random room was fine as he never planned to sleep.
Li Shuang had been too nervous and scared, she did not realize her daughter was sleeping all this time. She only noticed that when the man brought up her daughter.
The mother smiled wryly at the sight of her daughter's drooling face. This was a privilege of being a kid, ignorant to her or his situation. She was at the edge all this time, but her daughter was sleeping soundly.
Of course, as a mother, she was glad that her daughter did not get through the horrible experience she just witnessed. Her daughter's sleeping face brought a smile to her.
Nodding toward the man, she brought the daughter toward the bedroom.
Tang Shaoyang immediately contacted Wei Xi. He called him and told him the situation in Ningbo. The latter was surprised that Tang Shaoyang was already at Ningbo. Wei Xi seemed to know the distance between Ningbo and Hangzhou.
—How many survivors in Ningbo, My Lord?
"I am not sure, I just took over the first group. From the person I know, there are around five hundred people in this group, and there are four more groups of survivors. Maybe around a thousand and five hundred to even two thousand," Tang Shaoyang estimated the number of the survivors.
—That's too many. We can't transport all of them within one trip. A bus normally has around 40 to 60 seats, we need thirty to fifty buses to transport all of them in one trip, we don't have that many buses. We have to bring Tarriors as well to protect the buses from the dangers on the way. We are also in a war with an enemy that will potentially attack our city.
"I see… Then I will conquer the city first then I will unite all the survivors. We will move them after we finish the War Game," Tang Shaoyang came up with a plan since it was impossible to move all the survivors now.
—We can do that, My Lord.
"But we have a shortage of food here…" Tang Shaoyang recalled the survivors' condition. Most of them looked starved. He assumed they had a food problem.
—If it's food, we can send the food from here. We have Wen to help to transport the food.
"Let's do that…"
Li Shuang was eavesdropping behind the door. She pressed her ear on the door while listening to the conversation. She heard two different voices conversing, about food and transporting the survivors.
While she did not understand some parts such as conquering the city, Zombie Consort, and other terms that foreign to her. He kept listening until the conversation.
"It's impolite to eavesdrop, you know," she suddenly heard the man's voice from behind the door. She almost screamed but managed to hold the scream as she remembered the daughter who slept behind her.
Her cheeks flushed red as she was caught red-handed eavesdropping. It was something shameful for an adult to do. She clapped her cheeks two times, 'You have to do it now, Li Shuang!' Then she opened the door.
Li Shuang thought the man was right behind the door because the voice was too close. But it was empty, no one behind the door. She then looked toward the couch and found the man was sitting on the couch.
The man leaned his back against the couch and rested his head as well with his eyes closed, facing the ceiling. Li Shuang was determined to do this as she approached the man. Her steps were light, she thought she could come closer unnoticed.
When she arrived next to the couch, the man opened his purple eyes, "Do you need something?" The man asked her with his deep voice.
Li Shuang was startled at first, but then she hopped onto the man's lap. Without words, she kissed the man's lips. The man was unresponsive at first but then he started to respond to her kiss passionately.
She could feel his hands crept toward her buts. She let them be as she had decided. They kissed until she was out of breath.
Li Shuang parted her lips and backed away from the man. She then found the man was smiling at her, causing her cheeks to flush even redder.
"Woman! You are playing with fire!" That was what he said to her. That was indeed right, she was playing with fire and gambled her future on the man. At this moment, she felt the man's hand was on her waist.
Li Shuang smiled, "I have decided so, it's not like the fire will swallow me alive, right?"
Tang Shaoyang was well aware of her thoughts. He was strong and the woman wanted his protection for her daughter and her. This was the normal practice even in the base, the reason Zhao Zhong could have many women.
He smiled and flipped the woman. She was on the couch while he was on top of her. Li Shuang circled her hand on the man's neck and kissed the man again. It was a lie if she was not nervous, but her determination for her daughter was stronger than nervousness.
She could feel the man's hand creeping toward her chest. She let his hands be as she engaged the passionate kiss until her nipples were played by his hand.
A jolt of pleasure struck her body as she let out a muffled moan, "Hummm~" the man kept playing with her breast and it was so good. Without realizing it, she enjoyed this passionate engagement with the man. It was no longer a determination to protect her daughter but she enjoyed the pleasure.
