Chapter 1145 The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (26)

The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Twenty-Six)

Song Ning couldn't wait to boil water and take a nice hot bath. She also washed her hair carefully and felt refreshed all over.

After drying himself off, Song Ning stood there for a moment to feel the atmosphere.

Wang Kang is truly a capable person. The bathroom he designed was actually just a small space about the width of one person, created by lowering the area by ten centimeters next to the stove. Wang Kang suggested that a curtain could also be added in the middle, but Song Ning, who was with him, felt it was unnecessary and refused.

Moreover, the stove next to the curtain was burning brightly with warmth, which immediately made him feel warmer and made the bath more comfortable. So Song Ning took a thorough and enjoyable bath in front of the big cat.

After he changed his clothes, he plopped down on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed). A wave of warmth, even a kind of heat, rushed up his body. Song Ning realized that he was sitting on the head of the kang. Wang Kang had specifically told him that the head of the kang was very hot and dry, and that was no exaggeration.

Song Ning moved down a little, then called to the big cat that had been lying there for some reason.

"Brother Leopard, come and try it out, this kang (heated brick bed) is really worth it."

The big cat, who had been lying down with its eyes closed, slowly opened them. Seeing Song Ning dressed, it slowly stood up and wiped its paws clean before getting onto the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).

Song Ning looked at the big cat expectantly, "Brother Leopard, how are you feeling? Are you warm?"

The black panther sensed it and its paws twitched slightly.

However, upon looking up and seeing the bright, sparkling eyes of the humans, he paused for a moment before nodding.

Song Ning was overjoyed. "I knew you'd like it too, Brother Leopard. We can finally get a good night's sleep tonight, and it'll even save us some money compared to before."

Previously, it was too wasteful to just leave the large iron pot open to heat the fire. Now, we can directly use the kang (heated brick bed) itself to retain heat, saving at least half the heat compared to before.

As he spoke, he gradually began to nod like a chicken pecking at rice, clearly getting sleepy.

Seeing him like this, the black panther reached out its paw and nudged him, then pulled him into its arms and began to sleep.

On the other side, Wang Kang was walking back in a small cart.

At first, he was a little worried about the dangers of taking this route. Then one day, he casually asked, "Why doesn't Brother Leopard like to stay at home all the time?" Song Ning replied, "Brother Leopard went out to patrol his territory." Only then did Wang Kang realize why he hadn't seen a single zombie on the road since his first visit. He figured Brother Leopard had probably killed them all.

The snowstorm didn't seem too heavy today. Wang Kang squinted and peered ahead before continuing to push the cart forward.

The cart was loaded with quite a few things, and Wang Kang couldn't help but chuckle every time he looked down.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any bad intentions when he saw so many good things over there.

So many honeycomb briquettes, and the food in those four large freezers—he even saw several cans of food on the shelves that looked perfectly preserved—it was all good stuff.

And the kang (heated brick bed) he built himself, every single thing could tempt him to evil thoughts.

"Luckily, I'm a good person."

Wang Kang muttered something to himself and pushed the stroller with even more force.

He was a content man. It was already a favor that Brother Song and Brother Leopard didn't use him and then throw him away. They were even willing to lend him a small cart. They were already incredibly kind people. Not to mention that there was work for him to do later. Even though it was the dead of winter, he was already grateful to have work to do in exchange for food. He couldn't be a greedy person who couldn't swallow an elephant whole, nor could he be so unkind.

After walking for quite some time, Wang Kang kept looking ahead and finally saw a faint glimmer of light not far ahead.

His limbs, stiffened by the wind and snow, suddenly regained their strength, and he pushed the cart forward with all his might. The firelight grew closer and closer, and a figure in the distance spotted him and rushed toward him.

"Old Wang, you're finally back."

Wang Kang's wife, Li Aifeng, rushed over and brushed the snowflakes off Wang Kang's head and shoulders. Then she looked down at the things on the cart, her face filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Boss, you really got all this stuff back? That Leopard guy and his gang actually kept their word and gave you the goods?"

She couldn't resist squatting down and lifting the tattered clothes covering the briquette to look inside. She immediately saw the tall pile of honeycomb briquettes underneath. The smell was pungent, but it filled her with joy and delight. She couldn't hide her happiness as she looked up at Wang Kang.

"Honey, you really brought back coal? This is good stuff, this is good stuff!"

She said it twice, which clearly showed how surprised she was. Wang Kang was pleased to see his wife so happy, but he didn't forget his business.

"Did no one notice you when you came out? Quick, give me a lamp to warm my hands. Let's hurry up and move all this stuff home. If we save it, we can get through the winter."

Li Aifeng quickly said "Hey," and the two of them quietly carried all the things home.

They didn't live inside the base; they lived in a house outside, a house they had saved up to support before the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, the good news is that you don't have to pay the mortgage anymore, but the bad news is that the house is useless in the apocalypse.

However, the couple couldn't bear to leave, so they stayed in the house and didn't move. As a result, after so many years, they have really settled down here.

It took the two of them quite a bit of effort to move all their things back home. Wang Kang immediately put away the little cart and carefully wiped off the dirt with snow.

This is a really good thing! The fact that they were willing to lend it to him is already a huge favor. He can't let such a good thing go to waste.

The couple had just finished setting up their things and had just lit a fire to heat up their kang (heated brick bed) in preparation for cooking something to celebrate. Wang Kang also had a kang built at home; after all, he was in this line of work and would use it whenever he needed it. Since it was too cold, they would still be willing to heat it up.

Now that's where it comes in handy!

Wang Kang was still feeling fortunate that it was the apocalypse. No matter how much he messed around in his home on the first floor, he wouldn't have that annoying property management anymore. He had also turned the original common area at the back into a small courtyard, where he placed many of the things he needed for his work.

The couple were busy inside and out when there was a knock on the door, and they immediately became nervous.

Li Aifeng, wearing dirty gloves, approached Wang Kang. Wang Kang grabbed her hand and patted it, saying, "It might not be anything serious. You stay behind the door and I'll go check it out."

Li Aifeng didn't say anything, grabbed a crowbar from her head, and stood behind the door.

Wang Kang then opened the door. A neighbor lived a few hundred meters away. As soon as the neighbor saw him, he spoke in a low voice, "Wang Kang, can I borrow your little cart?"
