Chapter 73 - The Last Night
"Huh… Hah… Huh… Hah…"
Li Na was following the person in front of her while trying to control her breathing. She was doing daily exercise for Tarriors.
While maintaining her breathing, she also tried to synchronize her steps with the person in front of her.
This was the sixth day and she started improving. At least she was much better than the first day she started the exercise.
"Stop! You have fifteen minutes break before the Basic Combat training!" Wei Xi loudly announced to the group.
"Hah…" Li Na breathed out relievedly. She immediately went to the nearby tree. She sat down and straightened her legs out.
"Here, your water!" Cao Jingyi tossed her a bottle of water to her.
"Thanks, Sister Jingy~," Li Na cheerfully thanked Cao Jingyi as she shook the bottle.
She opened the bottle and gulped down half of the bottle.
"Uwahh!" It was just mineral water but it was very satisfying. A drink after the exercise.
Cao Jingyi was one of the closest people to Li Na. She saved her life on the battlefield and she had been taking care of her in the base as well. Now she has been looking for her since she joined Tarrior.
"Have you heard about the expedition?" Cao Jingyi asked the young girl. She paid more attention to Li Na because Li Na was one of the youngest girls around.
She also respected her that Li Na was doing this for her little sister and her grandmother too.
"Expedition? What expedition?" Li Na had not heard about it yet.
"Mengyao will announce today, you will know soon," Cao Jingyi waved her hand casually as she took a sip of water.
Not long after that, Zhang Mengyao truly came. It had been five days since Zhang Mengyao did not participate in the group's daily exercise. The rumor said she was in intense training with Tang Shaoyang so no one complained.
"Can I have your time please!?" Zhang Mengyao called out.
The little over a hundred Tarriors immediately looked toward Zhang Mengyao.
Zhang Mengyao then explained the base that wanted to form a medical team but they did not have the people. No one disagreed about the need for the medical team as Tarrior was the one who benefited the most if a medical division was formed.
"Tomorrow, we will form an expedition team. The team is composed of forty people, we have chosen the first twenty people from the "Slaves" group so we need twenty more people from Tarrior!"
No one interrupted her as Zhang Mengyao continued.
"The mission is to rescue the doctors and nurses as much as possible! It could be a dangerous mission or maybe just like a daily hunt! And the destination is SH Hospital and the one who will lead the team is our Leader! Any volunteer?"
The group immediately fell silent. Most of them were thinking about the distance between the base to the hospital.
SH Hospital was the biggest hospital so they certainly knew where it was. It was far, a long journey, and they might meet a zombie horde in the way.
Just like Zhang Mengyao said, the mission could be very dangerous, or it may be just like a daily hunt.
However, despite all these issues, two people raised their hands to volunteer themselves. Zhao Zhong and Li Na, two immediately raised their hands when they heard Tang Shaoyang would be the team leader.
Cao Jingyi who sat next to Li Na was surprised by the girl's decisive decision. She did not expect the girl would have a big gut.
"Are you sure?" Cao Jingyi could not help but ask the girl to confirm she was in the right mind.
"Yes, I am sure! Sister Mengyao and Boss are kind enough to let me choose the Advanced Class. I can't disappoint them by backing down from a mission like this!"
Li Na answered with a strong determination. Of course, one of the reasons was because Tang Shaoyang was the leader. as for the main reason…
"We need the medical division badly. I have a fragile grandma and little sister. If we don't have doctors or a medical team, who's going to treat them?"
More than that, she needed to level up her summon as well. Looking for zombies around the base was getting harder and harder. So, she was having a hard time leveling up, now added with her summon too. So an expedition like this was needed for her to grow stronger.
Hearing Li Na's strong reply, Cao Jingyi smiled. She then also raised her hand, volunteering herself to join the expedition team.
After the first three people raised their hands, more and more people also raised their hands.
"Alright, we have enough people!" Zhang Mengyao stopped more people to raise their hands as they had enough people. With Tang Shaoyang, the team only needed nineteen people.
Zhang Mengyao wrote down the name that would join the expedition team.
This time, Cao Jingyi approached her and looked into the list. She was surprised that she did not see Zhang Mengyao's name on the list.
"You are not coming with us?"
Zhang Mengyao shook her head, "Nope! Shaoyang asked me and Lu An to stay. He said the base needs a temporary leader to keep a check the base when he is away,"
"Ah…" Cao Jingyi nodded understandingly. Tang Shaoyang's decision was understandable.
The base could not be left defenseless just in case other people like Han Jiang and Shi Ping appeared.
As the two girls were having a conversation, Wei Xi appeared again.
"Alright, the break time is over! It's time for close combat training!"
The training for Tarrior continued after a small announcement.

At night
Tang Shaoyang was holing up in his room. He was in the control room, looking at the map around the base.
He was looking for a suitable place for the farm region to purchase. He could purchase the land and connect the land to the base, then he modified the land so it became a suitable place.
Doing this, Tang Shaoyang remembered a game, the only game he played in middle school.
"What is it? Empire of something?" He rubbed his chin, trying to recall the game name, "Ah, it's the age of empire!"
Remembering the old days, he smiled to himself. What he was doing was similar to the game, he would arrange the farm area orderly, the houses as well.
Then, the door of the control room opened. A fragrant smell assaulted his nose. There was no need to guess, from the odor, it was Zhang Mengyao.
She brought a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Tang Shaoyang.
"What are you doing? Why are you smiling by yourself like that?"
"I just recall that my big ambition is coming for an old game. It's kinda silly and funny," Tang Shaoyang did not bother to hide it as he told her his past.
He then turned toward her. His eyes widened a little bit when he saw what Zhang Mengyao wore. It was a cream-colored lingerie dress, the sexy one, and with a black stocking covered her feet up to her thigh.
It seemed the girl was no longer shy about their relationship. Tang Shaoyang put his right hand on her waist and pulled her closer. Then he kissed her neck as he greedily smelled her body's sweet fragrant smell.
Zhang Mengyao's cheeks reddened but she did not struggle.
"I am here to report to you the expedition team! I have chosen the member…" With her small and shy voice, she spoke up.
"Oh, really? I thought you came to seduce me?" Tang Shaoyang teased her with a surprised voice.
"You…" She did not know what to say after that as she indeed came to seduce him. It was just very hard to admit it boldly even though there was no one but Tang Shaoyang in the room.
"Good, what do you have?" Tang Shaoyang decided to let the girl slip for a moment as he asked out.
"U-uh…" Zhang Mengyao was somewhat flustered. Instead of replying to Tang Shaoyang, she put the folder in front of Tang Shaoyang, "This is the list!"
"Kuhuhu… You are too cute. I can't resist it any longer…"
Without looking at the folder, he picked up Zhang Mengyao. The girl did not struggle as she buried her head on Tang Shaoyang's chest.
He kicked open the door and brought her to the bed. Throwing the girl onto the bed, Tang Shaoyang immediately undressed.
When he was on top of Zhang Mengyao, he did not plan to undress her. He only needed to pull out her panties. To his surprise, the girl did not wear panties.
"Hoho… The naughty girl does not wear panties,"
It could not be more clear than this, her purpose coming to the control room was to seduce him.
He dived into the forbidden place. The girl started moaning after that. After Tang Shaoyang felt it was enough to score a goal, he pushed the little Tang Shaoyang to the goal.
Zhang Mengyao's mind blanked the moment the little Tang Shaoyang entered her. In the second push, she could not help but let out a lewd moan. She did not know why but it was so good.
With a desire to take over her, Zhang Mengyao was no longer shy. She followed Tang Shaoyang's rhythm afterward. It was truly the best last night before they temporarily parted.

The next morning
Tang Shaoyang went out of the elevator with a refreshed face. He enjoyed the night to the fullest. Even until now, Zhang Mengyao was still sleeping on the bed. They went crazy last night and he also woke up late.
When he arrived at the lobby, the team was there. They were ready to depart.
With a big smile on his face, Tang Shaoyang shouted, "Let's depart, guys!"
