Phew~

After some effort, Wang Tao slightly sawed the short wooden handle of the horned hammer, then tightly stuffed it into the steel pipe. To be on the safe side, he also applied some glue inside.

After tested for a while, there was no looseness at all.

Its quite heavier, but its just right for me, and the power is much greater!

The difference between hammering with this hammer and with a steel pipe is significant, especially the horn of the horned hammer its power must be tremendous.

Wang Tao, dinner is ready

Outside the door, came the knocking of Ding Yuqin.

Okay.

When Wang Tao arrived at the dining table, Ding Yuqin had just served him a big bowl of rice and handed over the freshly washed bowl and chopsticks.

Wang Tao took them and said with a smile:

Lets eat together.

Eh!

Ding Yuqin had been waiting for those words. With Wang Taos permission, she immediately went into the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks for herself.

Although she felt it was highly probable that Wang Tao would invite her to dine with him, since he hadnt said anything yet, she hadnt taken her own bowl and chopsticks to prevent him from feeling repulsed.

The dinner was a simple fry-up of three dishes and a soup simple in style, but plentiful in portion. After all, whether Wang Tao was going out to kill zombies or training his body, he had to ensure he got sufficient nutrition.

Ding Yuqin waited until Wang Tao started eating before she moved her chopsticks.

Wang Tao tasted each of the dishes and had to admit that Ding Yuqins cooking skills were really good; it felt no less than a regular restaurant chef, far better than his own clumsy attempts.

Ding Yuqin ate quietly while discreetly observing Wang Tao.

Though confident in her culinary skills, she knew that everyone had different tastes. The dishes she cooked for Wang Tao yesterday were different from todays, and she couldnt guarantee he would definitely like them. Once she saw that Wang Tao seemed satisfied, she felt relieved.

Since Ding Yuqin had indulged in a big meal yesterday, her hunger wasnt as intense as before, allowing her to eat more gracefully, exuding an air of refinement.

When she noticed Wang Taos bowl was nearly empty, she immediately put down her chopsticks and got up.

Wang Tao, let me get you some more rice!

Wang Tao didnt refuse.

That would be great, sis-in-law.

Ding Yuqin was wearing a gray professional dress today. The clothing was form-fitting, highlighting her curves beautifully, especially her legs in thin black silk stockings not the digitally-edited kind often seen online, but full and round, smooth lines, remarkably healthy and slender legs.

This made Wang Taos gaze somewhat disobedient.

Pleasant things were meant to be appreciated, and Wang Tao did not try to hide it.

When Ding Yuqin came back with the rice, she felt Wang Taos gaze. She paused slightly, then pretended as if she noticed nothing and handed over a large bowl of rice to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao, here you go.

Thank you, sis-in-law.

After eating for a while, Wang Tao suddenly asked:

By the way, sis-in-law, what did you do for a living before this?

He knew that Brother Zhao was a director, but he wasnt quite clear about Brother Zhaos wifes occupation.

Ah? Oh, your Brother Zhao invested, and I opened a restaurant back in my hometown.

Upon hearing Wang Taos question, Ding Yuqin quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and then answered.

No wonder sis-in-laws cooking is so good.

Wang Tao realized.

Yeah, I thought that since I was running my own restaurant, I definitely should know the quality of the food we serve. So, I decided to learn cooking and spend over a hundred thousand on it! And then, just when the restaurant hadnt been open long, the apocalypse came

Ding Yuqin said with a bitter face.

`

After dinner, Ding Yuqin cleaned up the dining room and the kitchen, and then mopped Wang Taos house.

Huff~

She hadnt done so much work in a long time and was feeling somewhat sore in her waist and back.

So she sat on the sofa, took off her high heels, and rubbed her sore ankles. She decided she would not wear high heels tomorrow; they were too tiring.

Wang Tao, what time should I come over tomorrow morning?

Wang Tao, who was studying the map, raised his head, and when he saw Ding Yuqin rubbing her ankles wrapped in black stockings, he suddenly felt the urge to help.

After waiting for a while, Wang Tao finally spoke.

Six oclock, he said.

Oh, then Ill come over at six. Im going back now, Ding Yuqin, feeling somewhat uneasy under Wang Taos gaze, quickly put on her shoes and went home.

Watching Ding Yuqin leave, Wang Tao began his daily exercises.

Since waking up from a three-day coma, his physical condition had not only become much stronger than before, but he could also slightly feel the improvement with every exercise session.

The reason most people lack perseverance in some matters is that they can neither see nor feel any hope of success.

Now, after exercising, Wang Tao could clearly feel some slight changes in his body. Although not much, the improvement was indeed there.

Furthermore, Wang Tao was quite self-disciplined, so as long as there were no accidents, exercising was something he did every day.

Although killing zombies might lead to faster improvement, as killing zombies directly increases the HP bar, with the increase in the HP bar also bringing about a slight improvement in physical conditioning. However, killing zombies was too dangerous, with the possibility of an accident occurring.

Besides, Wang Tao was not an engine that could keep killing zombies all the time; there had to be time for rest and meals.

Thus, both killing zombies and exercising were non-negotiable.

Both were essential, and both had to be strong.

After working out, Wang Tao took a quick shower, then turned off all the lights in the house.

He went to the window and parted the thick curtains.

Light could attract zombies. Although Wang Tao lived on the fifth floor, when it came to safety, he never let his guard down.

The weather tonight was nice; even though the moon was not visible, the sky was filled with stars.

Under the starlight, Wang Tao could roughly see the situation in the yard, where he could see the zombies wandering.

Huh~

Wang Tao was not sure if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the zombies seemed to have more energy at night than during the day?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao took a small metal fragment, took a deep breath, and threw it with all his might down to the opposite building below, where there were three zombies.

Clang~

Hehe

Roar

Instantly, the three zombies near the metal fragment went into a frenzy, emitting a series of chilling roars, and began to wildly run around near where the fragment landed.

With their agility, who would have thought they were the same zombies from during the day? If someone had said they were athletes, Wang Tao would have believed it.

Other zombies in the yard began to move towards those three frenzied ones. Although their speed was not as fast as the frenzied zombies, it was still much quicker than the sluggish pace during the day.

The agile zombies I saw last night were not some mutant variant; it must have been them!

Perhaps zombies are different during the day and at night!

They are slow and stiff during the day, but at night, they become faster, more likely to frenzy, and more agile! No wonder its said they prefer dark places!

Just not sure if there are other differences

In any case, zombies are more terrifying at night! Dont go out after dark!
