As soon as they got home, Yao kept working until dark, after eating for more than an hour, he walked into the bathroom with a tired expression.
Without electricity, it is naturally impossible to take a hot bath comfortably. Fortunately, it is summer at this time, and it is suitable to take a bath with cold water.
After carefully washing his body, he walked into the bathtub, soaked his body in cold water, closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
Twenty minutes later, he opened his eyes contentedly, wiped his body clean, put on his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Have they all rested yet?"
Seeing that the first floor was empty, Yao thought for a while and walked outside, wanting to see which team member was keeping watch tonight.
Because the gate is controlled by a machine, and the gate was not closed when the power went out yesterday, there must be a member responsible for guarding it at night.
Yao is considering whether to build a wooden door, although it may take a lot of effort, but it can save a lot of trouble if it is done.
Not long after he walked out of the house, he saw a young girl standing guard at the gate in the distance.
Maybe it's because she hasn't cut her hair for a while. When I first saw her, she had cute short bob hair, but now it's a little longer.
Slowing down, Yao squeezed his chin, looking at Megumi Kato who looked a little listless with her back turned to him.
When he came back, he asked the team members about what had happened, but they seemed to have a unified voice, and they all explained the experience of being surrounded by zombies by an accident.
Even Eriri, who has always been very obedient, avoided this topic.
In this regard, Yao did not intend to break the casserole and ask the end, but looking at the current situation, it seems that the problem lies with this member.
After thinking about it, Yao decided to enlighten her. Everyone will inevitably make mistakes a few times, but if she can't get over this hurdle by herself, it is impossible for him, the captain, to turn a blind eye.
"Kato, don't you feel hot?" Yao walked behind her relaxedly, rubbing her black hair, "How about tying it up?"
"Captain!" Kato shook her body when she heard him, and breathed out his little heart that was scared by the sudden call.
"I've thought about it, but I haven't decided whether to tie it up or cut it short." Kato touched her hair on both sides of her cheeks. It was indeed a bit long. It was fine at night, but it was easy to sweat during the day.
"Since you haven't thought about it, why don't you tie a double ponytail like Eriri?"
Imagining her hair tied into twin ponytails in his mind, Yao couldn't help but sneer.
"I don't want to!" Kato obviously thought of that funny scene, and hurriedly shook her head to refuse, she couldn't control this hairstyle.
"Then cut all your hair, it will be cooler." Yao continued jokingly.
Kato pursed her lips, and said abruptly, "actually...Captain, I'm sorry."
"Why do you apologize?" Yao was taken aback for a moment, but did not continue joking, just now it was just to ease her emotions, it would be inappropriate to do it now.
"The reason why we were besieged by zombies in the morning was because I made a low-level mistake and shot to attract zombies."
"So that's the case." Yao nodded clearly, and did not comfort her, but did not criticize her either.
"So... Captain, please punish me a lesson!" Kato, who was feeling uneasy, simply closed her eyes and shouted.
"..."
Looking at the bent posture, Yao raised his hand expressionlessly, and hit her hard on the head.
"It's over."
"Eh?" Kato straightened up, rubbed her aching head, and looked at him puzzled, "Captain, is your lesson too light?"
"Then should I tie you up and beat you hard?" Yao looked at her playfully.
"No!" Kato shook her head quickly.
"In that case, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again." Yao turned and walked towards the house, and said without looking back, "If I see you like this again tomorrow, I will hang you on the tree and Release a zombie after you."
"Thanks..."
Looking at his back, Kato showed a faint smile after a long time.
…
As soon as Yao opened the bedroom door, he saw a petite figure jumping towards him.
"Yao." Eriri hugged his neck tightly, her legs skillfully clamped his waist to prevent herself from falling, and rubbed her face against his hot skin.
"Your not going to sleep with your mother?" Yao raised the corners of his mouth, hugged her waist and walked towards the bed.
"Shiina is so clingy that I can't sleep well at night."
"Aren't you the same?" Yao asked with a smile, anyone who is hugged so tightly while sleeping will not be able to sleep peacefully.
"It's not the same!" Being laid down by him, Eriri's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked straight at him without the slightest evasion, "I'll only cling to Yao~"
After exhausting all her courage to say these nasty words, she raised her head and kissed Yao's lips with a flushed face, trying to divert his attention so as not to be teased by her sweetheart.
Just when the two of them were about to do something 'shameful', Yao paused and sighed in displeasure. This system prompt is really unpleasant.
After being patted on the cheek by him a few times, Eriri reluctantly let go, looked at him with a blushing face, subconsciously wanted to take off her clothes, but was held down by him.
"The blood rain is coming."
"Eh?" Eriri was stunned for a moment, then looked out the window, and indeed felt a little humid air.
"I'll call them all." Knowing that this is not the time for intimacy, Eriri calmed down and went out to knock on the team members door one by one.
When all the girls gathered in the living room, it was already raining blood outside, and Yao had already walked out.
[The essence is absorbed, and the dross is converted into points! ]
[The essence is absorbed, and the dross is converted into points! ]
[The essence is absorbed, and the dross is converted into points! ]
…
Familiar reminders kept ringing in his mind, Yao's smile gradually deepened, and he could clearly see the leaves swaying in the wind on the big tree in the distance.
And not only vision is enhanced, but also hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Although it can't reach the level where he can see the texture of the leaves clearly and hear the movement from far away, this time the body has obviously been strengthened by a step.
And this second stage of blood rain also indicates that the zombies will become more hungry and ferocious.
Yao exhaled a foul breath, and his eyes gradually turned red.
The power gained and the price paid are always equal.
He was completely exposed to the rain of blood. Although he used the system to reject most of the side effects, his body definitely couldn't bear it on it's own.
This time, the scalding temperature of the blood was no longer as simple as physical torture.
…
"Has Yao-kun always been like this?"
Sayuri's eyes were full of smiles, and she didn't care about her daughter who was taken away by Yao at all.
Utaha's cheeks were slightly red, and it was rare tthat she didn't make fun of it.
"My head is dizzy~" Kato touched her forehead, "Obviously the two times before, the fever subsided soon."
"Sayuri, hug." Shiina looked a little uncomfortable, and threw herself into her arms and kept rubbing up and down, which made Sayuri a little hard to resist.
Affected by the blood rain, they didn't notice Saeko's disappearance at all.
