Chapter 178 - 178 The Broadcast
178 The Broadcast
Early in the morning, Lu Shuangshuang got out of bed with two dark circles under her eyes.
Last night, the screams from the villa next door kept persisting, keeping her awake.
“Is that guy’s stamina that good?
“Three groups of people took shifts!”
Lu Shuangshuang muttered.
The sounds from last night made Lu Shuangshuang recall the feeling of Wang Ran’s touch on her thighs, when he was helping her trim her leather pants, and the friction between their bodies when they were on the dolphin’s back.
If she could actually sleep through all that noise and those thoughts, it would have been a wonder!
“Lu, you’re awake!
“Come and have breakfast!”
In high spirits, Lin Momo held Lu Shuangshuang’s hand and led her to the side of the large pool.
Lu Shuangshuang’s eyes lit up when she saw the table laden with a wide variety of steaming hot dishes.
Previously, at the grain depot, they had either eaten rice or congee for their three meals, and they often made up for the rest with their imagination as they ate.
The situation in the housing area was marginally better. They had the luxury of seasoned vegetables.
In comparison to all that, this place was heaven!
Who had ever seen steak and lobster for breakfast?
Lu Shuangshuang’s firm beliefs started to waver.
The lobster broth was so fragrant!
Captain Jin should not have any objections to her staying here for a few more days…
Lu Shuangshuang started to slurp the lobster broth.
Although the lobsters had been frozen, they had been cooked well and tasted pretty good.
Not long after, Wang Ran came over for breakfast.
Lu Shuangshuang raised her head while gnawing on her lobster pincers.
Wang Ran looked energetic, even after a night of fighting.
As a policewoman, Lu Shuangshuang had witnessed a lot of scoundrels. Those scoundrels had all looked very dispirited. Why was Wang Ran still so energetic after a full night of fighting?
Could it be that Awakened Ones were also empowered in that aspect?
“Oh, by the way, Lu, you are a police officer, right? Could you help me see if there is anything that can be improved in terms of the security measures on our Island?”
Wang Ran said, as he picked up a bun.
“Alright,” she said.
Lu Shuangshuang nodded.
It seemed that she had a reasonable reason to stay here for a few more days.
She had to take the opportunity to indulge in the food more!
After Wang Ran finished his breakfast, he found Tang Tang, who was playing Civilization 6.
“Let’s go. We’re going to get your family’s cruise ship back.”
Wang Ran had not forgotten about the cruise ship that was docked at the pier.
Now that the dolphins were helping to clean up the mutated creatures in the nearby waters, Wang Ran could drive the cruise ship back without any worries.
“Right now? That’s great!”
Tang Tang jumped up.
It was always fun to go on trips with Uncle. This time, she could try the rocking of the boat.
“I’ll think about who else to bring…
“Let’s take Momo, she’ll keep those mosquitoes at bay.”
Wang Ran, Tang Tang, and Momo drove the armored Hummer out of the house.
The road to the south had been blown up, so Wang Ran had to take a detour to the north.
It would add at least an hour to the journey, but Tang Tang and Lin Momo didn’t mind it in the least.
It meant more fun on the road.
Tang Tang ate once in the front passenger seat and then took over the wheel, letting Lin Momo and Wang Ran exercise in the back seat.
Everyone was in a good mood.
Tang Tang drove the car and turned on the radio.
The Hummer’s radio had been modified, so it could receive more frequencies than a normal civilian radio.
Tang Tang casually fiddled with it and actually struck gold!
“This is the Evernight forum. We will play the latest news every day on a loop.”
A pleasant female voice came from the radio.
Wang Ran immediately stopped mid-thrust with Lin Momo.
Lin Momo was a little depressed, but she knew that the matter at hand was more important. She obediently got off Wang Ran and got on her knees…
“This is the Evernight forum. We will play the latest news every day on a loop.
“After a week of fighting, the government has built a large city-level survival base with the Third Ring as the boundary.
“A wall is being built near the Third Ring Road.
“It’s estimated that within half a month, their forces will continue to move closer to the Third Ring Road.
“The government’s powerhouse, Lin Liye has already reached the strength of a rank-five Awakened. His team successfully killed a red-eyed mutant zombie, which has opened up a lot of ground for the government.
“The south has been completely occupied by zombies.
“At least two red-eyed mutated zombies have appeared in the south. It has been rendered completely inhospitable for humans.
“A massive zombie horde showed up just south of N-City, led by a red-eyed zombie.
“We do not know why, but the tide of zombies has been dispersed. It is believed that it has something to do with the powerful Wu Jianguo in N-City.
“To the west, a large number of zombies have begun to migrate to the east. We can only speculate that a few powerful Mutated Zombies are leading them.
“In the northern part of Russia, the frigid temperatures seem to have affected the development of zombies. There aren’t even any sightings of silver-eyed Mutated Zombies.
“At present, Russia has become the first choice for survivors to escape. A friendly reminder, be careful of mutant bears.
“At present, more than half of the country has fallen to Mutated Zombies. The number of red-eyed zombies has already reached two digits, and the number of other Mutated Zombies is at a concerning level.
“In India, the zombie virus has grown saturated in the Ganges River, producing a high rate of mutations.
“The situation in the other neighboring countries is relatively better.
“The Evernight Forum does not have any verifiable intel on other countries, as of this moment.
“If you have any information, you are welcome to call the satellite phone or send us a radio message. Our contact information is as follows…
“Next, we’ll broadcast today’s latest news.”
…
“Uncle, you’re so weak. Your name isn’t even on the radio.
“Wu Jianguo has stolen the limelight.”
Tang Tang joked.
“Gulp gulp gulp…”
“Oh my, Wu Jianguo still calls Master ‘Boss’ when he sees Master.
“Having a good reputation is not necessarily a good thing. It’ll bring unwanted attention.
“I am loving these peaceful days,” Lin Momo raised her head and said.
Wang Ran pressed Lin Momo’s head down again.
“I didn’t expect that S-City has already fallen.
“J-City is right below S-City, which is not far from N-City.
“The last thing I want is for all that mess to spill to our doorstep.”
Wang Ran had a feeling that after his transmigration, things were progressing much faster than before.
Had he unintentionally changed the development of all these subplots, speeding everything up?
It was not impossible.
“Uncle, why don’t you take us to S-City and take down the bosses?
“I love such instances.”
Tang Tang suggested.
“Forget it. What do I stand to gain?
“How much gas would it cost to go back and forth?
“I won’t carry out such a thankless task.”
Wang Ran firmly rejected this suggestion.
Unless the zombies there affected his peaceful life, Wang Ran did not want to travel hundreds of kilometers away to help someone else clean up their mess.
However, this broadcast did give Wang Ran some inspiration.
He could also set up a radio station, and whenever he wanted to open a market to exchange for supplies, he could advertise.
However, this seemed to be a technical job. He wondered who could do it.
Zhao Dong? He studied Computer Science, so he should be able to do it…
After an hour and a half of driving, the three of them arrived at the dock.
There were a lot of zombie corpses nearby that had started to rot and stink. Coupled with the constant sea breeze, the smell…
Tang Tang’s family’s cruise ship was a hundred meters away from the dock.
The location was a little different from the last time he was here.
“Uncle, someone’s on the ship!”
Tang Tang’s sharp senses picked up some signs of life.
From the looks of it, someone had taken up residence on this ship. The ship had moved about a hundred meters away from the dock.
For survivors, this was a good base.
“Damn it, how dare you occupy my family’s ship.
“I’m going to go up and kill them.”
Tang Tang clenched the blood roar in her hand.
“Don’t kill them.
“In this world, isn’t it normal to want to stay on an ownerless cruise ship?
“Just scare them off.”
Wang Ran tried to persuade him.
Unless the person was too ugly or too ruthless, Wang Ran would not kill indiscriminately.
“Uncle, why don’t we go and act like newbies and play along with them?”
Tang Tang began to come up with ideas again.
“Forget it!
“Let’s take the cruise ship and drive it home. Then, we’ll be done for today.
“What’s the point of fooling about?”
Wang Ran jabbed Tang Tang’s little head with a finger.
“Uncle! Just let me have fun!
“I’ll giving you access to the back door!”
Tang Tang gave Wang Ran a look.
Because she was afraid of pain, Tang Tang had never opened up access to that place.
She was going all out today.
“Do I look like the kind of person who would change his principles for such a small profit?”
Wang Ran glared at Tang Tang.
“Master, since it’s still early, why don’t you let her have fun?
“We just have to go back on time.
“You can’t cage people up from their nature.”
Lin Momo, who was standing by the side, spoke up for Tang Tang.
“Momo, you’re the best!”
Tang Tang pounced on Lin Momo.
Both of them were shockingly large. With this collision, they actually bounced away from each other.
“Alright, alright, Momo has spoken up for you.
“Don’t take too long, don’t get too engrossed.”
Wang Ran reminded her.
“Thank you, Uncle!”
Tang Tang jumped up and kissed Wang Ran’s face.
The three of them found a small boat and paddled to the cruise.
Using a self-made grappling hook, the three of them climbed onto the cruise.
This cruise ship was slightly smaller than the Rose, but it was still luxurious enough.
Because it was built in the last two years, the facilities on the ship were very modern.
It would be a good idea to drive it back and make it a sub-base.
Not long after the three of them stepped onto the deck, a few Awakened Ones with sharp weapons surrounded them.
“What are you three doing on our ship?”
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man. He wore glasses and looked refined.
However, his face was pale, and his eyes were sunken.
He was not the only one looking so haggard. The few people around him were also like this.
Such weaklings!
Was there not enough food on the ship?
“We were just passing by and wanted to see if we could come to this ship to hide.”
Tang Tang skillfully put on her acting skills.
The middle-aged man in glasses sized up Wang Ran and the other two.
Each of them had fine skin and tender flesh, and their faces were radiant…
It was obvious that the girls had never been devastated by society.
“You guys… You want to join our camp?”
The middle-aged man in glasses threw out the question.
“Yes, yes, yes!
“Can you guys take us in?
“My name is Tang Tang, and this is my sister and brother-in-law.”
Tang Tang began to set roles for them.
“Alright, but our place…
“It’s a little different from an ordinary camp.
“If you can’t accept it, you can leave at any time.”
The middle-aged man in glasses thought for a moment and answered.
“Ah? What’s different about this place?”
Tang Tang asked, pretending to be innocent.
“This…
“You’ll know when the time comes.
“I’ll find a room for you guys.
“Do you want one or two rooms?”
The middle-aged man in glasses asked.
“One room!”
Tang Tang answered decisively.
The survivors looked at Wang Ran with strange eyes.
In the post-apocalyptic world, morality had collapsed. For brothers and sisters to partake… It was not rare.
Soon, Wang Ran and the other two were brought to a luxurious cabin.
Obviously, there weren’t many survivors on the ship, so there was some room.
“You guys can stay here for the time being.
“We’ll bring you some food later.
“But… If you want food, you have to exchange it for something.
“I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
The middle-aged man in glasses said and closed the door.
The moment the door closed, he seemed to have heard the words “Brother-in. law, don’t…”
Young people nowadays …
The middle-aged man in glasses shook his head and left.
“Brother-in-law, my ass!
“You’re enjoying yourself way too much, aren’t you?”
Wang Ran rapped his knuckles on Tang Tang’s small head.
“Aiya, Uncle, don’t you like to add some fun?”
Tang Tang leaned over.
“Don’t mess around,
“Have you noticed that there’s something wrong with the survivors on this ship?”
Wang Ran pushed Tang Tang away.
Perhaps it was because the place he had pushed was more sensitive, because Tang Tang’s face suddenly turned red.
“Is there a problem? They’re just ordinary survivors.
“What problems could there be?”
Tang Tang was carefree and didn’t pay attention to the details.
“They all seem to be very weak.
“There are some clear signs of anemia.”
After all, Lin Momo was a professional nurse, so she could tell at a glance.
“Anemia? I don’t think you’ll get anemia if you don’t have anything to eat, right?
“Are they often drained of blood in the middle of the night like Uncle? Haha.”
Tang Tang laughed.
As she laughed, Tang Tang’s smile gradually froze.
She had also participated in the operation of draining Wang Ran’s blood in the middle of the night.
She had been exposed…
“Momo, sense if there are any zombies on the ship.”
Wang Ran ordered her.
Tang Tang’s words just now reminded Wang Ran.
These survivors were so weak, could they be feeding zombies with their blood…
Lin Momo focused her mind and sensed it.
Lin Momo found it through the tiny pheromones from the cabin’s vent.
“Master, you called it. It’s a Mutated Zombie with golden eyes.
“It’s in the open-air suite on the highest floor of the ship.”
Lin Momo fully displayed her ability.
“Why am I not surprised?
“Let’s go and meet this Mutated Zombie.”
Wang Ran took his wife, Lin Momo, and his sister-in-law, Tang Tang, and headed upstairs to the cabin.
