Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Weakness Potion_l
Translator: 549690339 I
In this world, where civilization had gradually been replaced by barbarism, the bespectacled man had killed the bald man, and he even wanted to kill Ding Yuqin. His fate was already sealed.
Wang Tao didn’t want to find out any more details or understand his mental state any further; he just wanted the bespectacled man to die.
Wang Tao had thought that killing someone with his own hands might be uncomfortable, might make him queasy.
But perhaps it was because he had killed too many zombies, after he killed the bespectacled man, he found he felt nothing at all.
Not even as much as when killing zombies, after all, zombies were much more disgusting than the bespectacled man.
Wang Tao dragged the bespectacled man’s body to room 202, which was the bald man’s home, and then threw him out of the window.
Bang—
As the bespectacled man’s body hit the ground, the group of zombies outside immediately swarmed over.
Wang Tao didn’t look at the disgusting scene for long; he turned his attention to the items that had dropped when he killed the bespectacled man.
First thing was for sure, killing people could also result in loot drops.
But killing people didn’t increase the HP limit, nor was there that feeling of a slight improvement in physical condition.

[Weakness Potion (small): A creature contaminated with Weakness Potion will have its Attributes reduced by l%-20% (depending on the dosage), lasting for to minutes, with a cooldown of 12 minutes for the same target]
Killing an ordinary otaku and dropping two bottles of “Weakness Potion,” does that make sense?
This Weakness Potion wasn’t like the others before; it resembled a glass bottle, not an injection.
Thinking about it, who would inject themselves with a Weakness Potion? Wang Tao felt the correct way to use this thing was probably to throw it or to drug someone…
It might not be needed for now, but who knows, it might come in handy one day.
Moreover, according to the description, any creature contaminated with Weakness Potion will be weakened, so zombies should count as creatures, right?
After stowing the items in the Space Backpack, Wang Tao went to the door of room 201, listening to the incessant zombie roars inside.
He took a deep breath, and only then did he use the key to open the door.
Bang!
The moment he opened the door, Wang Tao kicked it.
He sent the zombie that was once the bald man flying with a kick.
Then he grabbed the horned hammer and quickly ran over, pounding away at the zombie that was once the bald man.
Soon, the zombie that was once the bald man was down to a sliver of HP, and looking at that familiar yet ferocious face, Wang Tao sighed deeply.
“Ah…”
The bald man had avoided the virus outbreak, avoided the zombies, avoided the food crisis, but in the end, he couldn’t avoid his own kind.
If only he could have come back yesterday, he might have been able to be saved.
But now, it was too late…
Bang!

The HP limit went up another 5 points, reaching [69/385]
Wang Tao searched the bald man’s body and found a blood-stained photograph.
It was the family portrait he had proudly shown Wang Tao before.
Looking at the bright smiling faces of the family of three in the photograph, Wang Tao carefully tucked the photo away.
“If I ever get the chance to meet your wife and child, and I happen to be capable, I’ll look after them for you.”
Regardless, the man had taught him how to pick locks, and this infection had come while he was protecting Ding Yuqin. If Wang Tao was able, he wouldn’t mind helping the man’s family, but…
Remembering the terrifying figure he had seen on the outskirts with ten thousand HP, Wang Tao thought the chances of the man’s family’s survival were slim.
Wang Tao sat here for a while and, after smoking a cigarette, finally tossed out the balding uncle zombie’s corpse.
Then he picked up the oil drum kept in this room and went upstairs to the door of 401.
“Open up, it’s me.”
Click-
Ding Yuqin was waiting right behind the door and, hearing Wang Tao’s words, opened it without even a glance through the peephole.
“Sister-in-law, next time you could at least take a look at who it is before opening the door. You don’t have to hurry to let someone in.”
Wang Tao was somewhat speechless.
This Ding Yuqin wasn’t foolish before, so why did it feel like she had become dull all of a sudden after his short trip outside?
“…Oh.”
Ding Yuqin bowed her head and didn’t explain, mainly because it was Wang Tao outside. If it were someone else, she definitely wouldn’t open the door so trustingly.
“Let’s go, let’s go home.”
Wang Tao beckoned, and Ding Yuqin hurriedly followed.
Seeing the cuts and bruises on Wang Tao’s back, Ding Yuqin suddenly felt a twinge of heartache. She couldn’t imagine what Wang Tao must have gone through these past few days outside.
Wang Tao watched as Ding Yuqin continued to follow him all the way to the sixth floor, but he didn’t say anything.
“I’m going to take a shower, you can drink some water, grab something to eat on your own.”
After saying that, Wang Tao went to the bathroom.
Only then did Ding Yuqin realize she hadn’t returned to her own home but had followed Wang Tao to his place instead. She drank some water, didn’t take anything, and left straight away.
After washing up, Wang Tao found that Ding Yuqin had left and was slightly surprised. But he didn’t care too much.
He planned to rest well today and also make some Molotov cocktails, so that he could take care of the zombies in the yard the next day and then bring back the stuff from the car.
The gates of the community were now locked, and all the unit doors were shut as well. There were only about twenty zombies in the yard, and they definitely wouldn’t withstand his Molotov cocktails. Not to mention, he now had an Ability!
However, he decided to leave it for today, since he was still at low HP.
An hour later, while Wang Tao was cooking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Upon opening the door, Wang Tao was slightly taken aback.
It was one thing for Ding Yuqin to have gone home to shower and change clothes, but she’d also applied light makeup.
Her hair was tied up high, revealing delicate ears and a slender snowy neck.
She wore a figure-hugging dark blue pajama set, tightly wrapped around the chest but still unable to hide the prominent curves.
The hem of her pajamas was above the knee, encasing her shapely lower body, but not those slim legs sheathed in flesh-toned stockings. On her feet were a pair of brown high-heeled shoes, which unexpectedly matched well with the pajamas.
“Wang Tao, I, I’ll help you cook and do laundry…”
Ding Yuqin brushed a stray hair aside from her ear and said in a low voice, looking down.
“Okay.”
Since Ding Yuqin was willing to cook, Wang Tao decided to take a break.
After a simple lunch, Wang Tao went to make the Molotov cocktails. Gasoline was a flammable material, after all, and he didn’t feel comfortable letting Ding Yuqin handle it.
By the time the sun set, he had managed to make all thirty Molotov cocktails.
Actually, as long as the materials were fine, making Molotov cocktails was quite quick. But whether deliberately or not, Ding Yuqin often lingered around Wang Tao, causing him to lose concentration and thus wasting a lot of time.
With a faint smell of gasoline on him and a bit of irritation in his mind, Wang Tao decided to take another shower.
Coming out bare-chested, Wang Tao saw Ding Yuqin casually stretching her legs on the couch, gently massaging her silky stocking-clad legs. She seemed a bit hot, her pajama top slightly open at the chest, revealing a deep cleavage.
Feeling Wang Tao’s gaze, Ding Yuqin lowered her head with an unnatural color on her face.
Wang Tao walked over directly.
“Aren’t you going home, sister-in-law?”
