RLDRFH Chapter 26

The villa area where He Zizhong and Fang Hao were located was not small, but the army came straight to the villa area at dawn?

“The villas here are made with tempered glass.” Seeing Fang Hao hesitate, he smiled and took his hand to walk to the first floor. “When I read the internal information of the community yesterday, there were many of empty houses here.”

Among the people who were evacuated here, many were heavyweight officials or rich people from the city. Some people even had real estate here, so it was natural to clean up this area first.

Yesterday, He Zizhong chose a villa near the gate because he knew that the houses deep in the villa area were basically owned by big shots.

The villa area was also divided into inner and outer zones. The inner zone was for dignitaries to live, and for big bosses to have meetings and offices. There was also a space planned for a clubhouse, an indoor swimming pool, and an office space.

Most of the people living in the outer zone were heads of large households, wealthy businessmen, and various well-connected organizations.

After a period of time, with the exception of the inner zone, the people in other houses must pay a monthly tax to ensure that the house is not expropriated. Of course, they generally did not dare forcibly requisition the houses in the villa area. The safety lock was already enough to deter most attempts. Once broken through forcibly, it could only be replaced by an ordinary door lock and the security would be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, as He Zizhong expected, soldiers soon came to check on them.

Hearing the sound of the door, He Zizhong went over to open the door carefully, confirming that there were soldiers outside before opening the door.

Several soldiers who had mastered the community database confirmed He Zizhong’s head of household information, and after checking the rooms one by one – He Zizhong turned off the monitoring equipment early in the morning and sent it to the space – they confirmed there were no zombies present. Most of the armed soldiers retreated, leaving two people in charge of registration.

“This is?” The soldier who had registered He Zizhong’s personal information looked at Fang Hao.

“My lover.”

…

…………

………………

There was silence in the house, and the registration soldiers were a little dumbfounded. They had seen gay men, but they had never seen such a calm and confident one!

Looking at them wearing two rings of the same style, the soldier in charge of registration whispered to the other, older man for help: “What, what should we write?” It really was a wealthy area, the style was completely different from ordinary people.

“Just write spouse.” The other person was more calm. Anyway, it was the apocalypse now, and homosexuality didn’t break the law. How could they bother about it? And just write it as it is.

After filling in the personal information, the two people asked again: “Have you always lived here? Have you ever left?”

“We were busy with work in city F before. It felt unsafe there after the accident on the first¹when the apocalypse broke out, so we came back. We just came back in the morning on the third.” They can handle the monitoring facilities in the community, but there was also monitoring on the road outside. Who knows if something will be found out?

“Have you gone out again in the middle?”

“Went out once during the day yesterday.” He Zizhong cupped his hands. “After all, there is was nothing to eat at home.”

After the two soldiers asked if there were any wounds and if it took more than 24 hours to return, they didn’t ask much. After all, the outside has long been chaotic, and people going out to find food and drink was normal. Those who have the courage to go out were better than those staying at home.

After issuing temporary identification cards, they told them: “Please don’t go out these next two days, and wait until we have cleaned up the neighborhood to do so. We will notify you if there is any situation.”

The two escorted them to the door, and Fang Hao took the opportunity to ask: “Will the troops be stationed here?” After all, the army is nearby, which would certainly give ordinary people a peace of mind.

“Most likely.” The soldier nodded affirmatively. Weren’t the big shots still waiting at the school? Not surprisingly, a temporary base must be built first before they can slowly recover lost ground.

The military had a very good idea. To enter the community from the urban area of city A required crossing a river. As long as they guarded the river crossings and bridges, and built walls in other directions, it could be used as a temporary base. Plus, they can easily prepare and enter the urban area to regain lost ground.

Of course, this was given the current level of zombies in the urban area. After all, no one thought that those zombies and zombie animals could evolve.

As soon as the military personnel left, He Zizhong reinstalled the monitoring equipment, and Fang Hao blithely began to clean up the room. Even if it was just pretending, they had just declared this to be “home”. If the sanitary condition was not good, it will really embarrass him, the “inner” person in charge of housework!

“It’s best not to use the tap water from the pipes.” Seeing Fang Hao cleaning up the room, He Zizhong naturally had no objection. This was originally a model show home. Who knew who touched what inside, and cleaning would let them rest assured. As for water… Although no one saw someone turn into a zombie from drinking tap water in his previous life, the rumor was never broken. The base also required everyone purify and disinfect water many times before drinking. Since they can avoid it, why not avoid it.

“Oh, okay.” Fang Hao asked He Zizhong to get out a bucket of water in the space. “What kind of water is this?”

“Water from the waterfall.” The water in the waterfall was very clean. He Zizhong used to drink water from the waterfall his previous life without any problems. The fish were only in the pools and streams below and had no impact on the water upstream. Therefore, using it to clean the room is completely fine.

Even in the space, when Fang Hao wiped the table, tidied, or washed things at home, it was also this water.

The two of them didn’t rush into the space. Things in the community were pretty chaotic today, and it was better to stay outside just in case.

The occupancy rate in the villa area was originally very low. Not to mention when the apocalypse arrived, some people left with the police to evacuate. But now… who knew that most of those people ended up moving back with the troops now.

After the soldiers entered the villa area, they cleared all the rooms where they could get the keys, including a house with two zombies. Within two hours, the place was cleaned up and disinfected.

About half an hour later, some high-end cars escorted by armored vehicles drove into the community one after another.

Those who originally lived here went back to their homes, and soldiers introduced the remaining leaders and officers to the villas that had not yet been sold. Some wealthy businessmen and connected people could also get some houses. But even so, many rooms were vacant in the villa area.

At the same time, the clean-up work in the nearby high-rise community was also gradually proceeding.

No matter whether someone was in a house or not, the soldiers would forcibly break in to clean it up. Unlike the villa area, those high-rise buildings did not have fingerprint locks and password locks. However, because the rooms were compact and there were many residents, it was more troublesome.

“They shouldn’t be able to finish it all in one day?” Fang Hao looked out the window. They could finally see living people in the community, although most people still stayed at home and dared not come out. Basically, the people moving outside were all military. There were many soldiers walking around, patrolling. Seeing so many living people gave He Zizhong and Fang Hao, who had been running for their lives, a sense of peace.

“Likely not. There are several residential areas around and a large general hospital not far away. There is also a maternity hospital and a children’s hospital next to the general hospital.” He Zizhong shrugged. “I originally wanted to take advantage of them cleaning up the zombies to go to nearby jewelry stores and jade shops.”

Fang Hao laughed: “No hurry, let’s take it slowly… By the way, let’s take out some of the cooking materials, and I can make something slowly in the kitchen? We have time anyways.”

He Zizhong sighed helplessly. He really didn’t want him to work hard, but at the moment they can’t even watch TV programs – the TV in the room is just an accessory, there was no cable at all! Not to mention there was no setup box.

The two ran to the kitchen. Fang Hao decided to make some gimbap²the original word was ‘seaweed wrapped rice meal’ which looks exactly the same as gimbap, because, in his words: “It’s easy to cook, and it’s even easier to eat.”

He Zizhong had nothing to do, so he helped him process the materials, cutting cucumbers, carrots and so on.

The two made a lot of them in one breath; there was no entertainment anyway. While cooking, they played around and occasionally tasted it. They even ate it for lunch. As a result, they used two pressure cookers to cook rice! A lot of cucumbers and carrots grown in space were also used up.

“What to do tonight? Shall we sleep inside or outside?” Fang Hao leaned in He Zizhong’s arms, and the two were cuddling on the big bed in the master bedroom on the second floor. The bed was bigger than the one in the space and very comfortable.

“Let’s stay outside for the time being tonight. After the outside situation stabilizes, we will return to the space.” He Zizhong decided.

For a whole day, the gunshots outside did not stop. Even now, movements could still be heard in the distance.

The two of them, like every couple who just broke the taboo, were afraid of something unexpected the next day and didn’t want to exercise at night. But once they turned off the lights and lay down together, they couldn’t help approaching, getting closer, and then they rolled together out of control.

The two tangled for a long time. He Zizhong showed his “very good” side with practical actions. He ate the meat that he missed for two lifetimes. Fang Hao collapsed in his arms and couldn’t even lift his fingers.

“Zizhong…” Fang Hao’s voice was lazy, which made He Zizhong feel a little trembling in his heart. No, if they continue, he really won’t get up tomorrow!

Kissing the person in his arms who was completely exhausted, He Zizhong hugged him tightly: “Go to sleep.”

He Zizhong, who didn’t know that his voice had the same effect in Fang Hao’s ears, closed his eyes. When the person in his arms raised his head and kissed his chin, he didn’t dare to lower his head to meet his lips-he was afraid of losing control again.

It was a wise choice not to go to sleep in the space. The army sent people to the door early the next morning. Most of the nearby places were cleared out, and only the hospital was still a high-risk zone. They could move freely in the other areas in the community, but must pay attention to personal safety. It was best not to go out, but it was not mandatory.

If there was no accident, the officials would conduct a second demographic survey in three days.
