Chapter 122: Chapter 118: Zhao Hu and Yang Tian

The gate of the steel plant, as well as the surrounding walls, had been reinforced.

This is a steel plant, so there’s no shortage of steel.

Before Wang Hao’s vehicle even arrived, many people had gathered at the gate.

They were holding various homemade weapons.

“Open the gate, it’s me.”

Zhao Meng stuck his head out.

The large iron gate slowly opened.

Wang Hao, skilled and daring, did not hesitate and drove straight in.

“Mengzi, what’s going on?”

After getting out of the car, a group of people approached.

Leading them was a big bald guy, tall and fat, with a massive build.

Zhao Meng hurried over and whispered a few words to him.

The bald guy’s eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face as he laughed heartily and came over:

“So it’s Mengzi’s lifesaver! Haha, that makes you one of us. I’m Zhao Hu. How should I call you, brother?”

“Wang Hao!”

Wang Hao reached out to shake his hand, then wanted to pull it back.

But Zhao Hu held onto it, and then Wang Hao felt a strong force on his hand.

The smile remained on Wang Hao’s face.

Zhao Hu’s eyes grew more and more surprised, and after a minute of stalemate, he laughed heartily:

“Brother, you’re indeed capable! Come on, let’s not just stand here. Today, I’m the host. Let’s welcome you properly.”

….

“Brother Hu, you’ve set up this place nicely!”

In the living room, Wang Hao said with a smile.

He followed Zhao Hu along the way and was a bit surprised.

He thought they were just a small group but didn’t expect the numbers to be quite large.

And everything was well-organized; vegetables were even planted in the green areas of the steel plant.

The defenses were well reinforced too.

It could be considered a safe place.

“It’s alright. This wasn’t originally my territory. The previous boss set this up, and I just took over by twisting off his head when I arrived, took advantage of it, haha.”

Zhao Hu chuckled, not avoiding his misdeeds at all.

Instead, he seemed quite proud.

In a chaotic world!

Strength reigns supreme!

If you have power, you can do as you please.

“Haha, I heard there’s a big shot who came to our steel plant?”

As the two chatted, several people walked in through the door.

Leading them was a One-Eyed Dragon.

A vertical scar crossed the eye he had lost.

This made his already fierce appearance even more menacing.

There was a pretty girl in his arms.

The girl was scantily clad, only in her underwear.

Her large areas of fair skin were exposed.

Yet she showed no sign of shyness, seemingly accustomed to it.

“Hiss———”

When she saw Wang Hao sitting in the living room, her face changed drastically, a flash of panic in her eyes.

But she quickly composed herself.

Sitting there, Wang Hao also showed a flicker of surprise.

Wow!

Running into someone familiar even here?

And someone very familiar at that!

“What? Stunned by a handsome guy?”

The One-Eyed Dragon gave the girl a sideways glance, sneering as he asked.

“No…, no, I just had a cramp.”

The girl, eyes flickering with panic, hastily explained.

“Humph!”

The One-Eyed Dragon snorted coldly, then his face filled with smiles again.

“Yang Tian! You’re everywhere, aren’t you?”

Zhao Hu said a bit helplessly.

“Hehe, Brother Hu, what are you saying? I’m at least the second in command of our steel plant, right?

With a distinguished guest arriving, how could I not show my face?”

The One-Eyed Dragon chuckled and sat down leisurely:

“Let me make a gesture; I’ll have my precious goose in the kitchen slaughtered and welcome Brother Wang Hao.”

“Oh?”

Zhao Hu’s eyes lit up. With Yang Tian being so generous, he naturally couldn’t back down:

“Then I’ll bring out a chicken, twenty eggs, and some fresh vegetables. Also, let’s slaughter that golden arowana fish.”

What an extravagance!

Others in the room brightened at the news.

Especially Li Qian.

She lowered her head, swallowing as she could hardly wait.

“I also have some food. I’ll take out three pounds of cured meat, two pounds of sausage, and five cans of meat.”

Wang Hao said with a smile.

With others being so generous, he couldn’t just sit by.

He could have gotten more out, but to avoid suspicion, it was better to take out less.

“Oh?”

Several people brightened at the mention.

Cured meat and sausage are good stuff.

Not only do they preserve well, but they’re also very filling.

Especially sausage, which can be eaten with porridge, and adding a few slices to a soup makes it very flavorful.

Three pounds of cured meat and two pounds of sausage, if eaten sparingly, could last a long time.

“Haha, alright, today we’ll feast.”

Zhao Hu laughed heartily.

Zhao Meng’s face also brightened with joy.

He hadn’t had a good meal in a long time.

Today, at last, he could eat well.

Most importantly, his goddess would finally have some meat today.

While everyone chatted, dishes were quickly brought out.

First came the hard dish, a large pot of stewed goose.

A big pot of goose was served, with plenty of chili peppers on top, and a fragrant aroma wafting through the air.

Even Wang Hao and Xiaoyueyue couldn’t help but move their fingers towards the food.

While Wang Hao had stored a lot of meat, it was all frozen.

Moreover, Wang Hao’s cooking skills were just so-so; he couldn’t make a dish like that stewed goose.

Following that were cured meat with green peppers, tomato and egg soup, scrambled eggs with chives, steamed golden arowana, pot chicken…

Various dishes piled high on the table.

The table wasn’t crowded, only Wang Hao, Xiaoyueyue, Zhao Hu, Zhao Meng and his brother, Zhao Qian, and one person, Yang Tian.

Even the woman beside Yang Tian didn’t sit.

She knelt beside Yang Tian, very meekly.

“Come on, let’s not be strangers, dig in.”

Zhao Hu invited everyone to eat.

Wang Hao didn’t start with his chopsticks.

He only picked up a goose wing for Yueyue after Zhao Hu and the others had taken a bite.

Then, he also picked up a piece of goose meat for himself.

The meat was well-cooked, tender but not too soft, with just the right amount of chewiness.

And the seasoning was done well, very fragrant.

Although he doesn’t usually eat spicy food, he still found it delicious.

“Haha, what do you think, Wang Hao? We have three five-star chefs here.”

Zhao Hu laughed heartily.

“Yes, it’s delicious. I haven’t had such fresh and rare dishes in a long time.”

Wang Hao didn’t hold back his compliment, saying this while giving Yueyue another chicken leg for her bowl.

Zhao Qian wanted to grab a chicken leg too.

However, Zhao Hu gave her a glare, making her shiver and change direction midway, picking up a piece of chicken instead and placing it in her bowl.

She ate it in small, pitiful bites.

“Haha, such a cute little girl, what’s your name?”

Zhao Hu said, looking at Xiaoyueyue with a benevolent smile.

“I’m Yueyue.”

Xiaoyueyue smiled at him with an innocent and kind smile.

“Yueyue! What a lovely name. Here, have this chicken leg too.”

Saying so, he used his public chopsticks to put another chicken leg in Yueyue’s bowl.

“Thank you, brother!”

Xiaoyueyue’s calling of brother made Zhao Hu overjoyed.

Wow, seems like I, Zhao Hu, still look quite young.

Yang Tian also joined in, smiling as he interacted with Xiaoyueyue, picking up food for her.

Soon her bowl was full.

And Xiaoyueyue kept sweetly calling out “brother”, with her eyes smiling into adorable crescents.

It was obvious to anyone, even a fool, that Wang Hao adored this little girl.

Being good to her was being good to Wang Hao.

In fact, being good to Wang Hao wasn’t as good as being good to Xiaoyueyue.

Of course, Yueyue herself was very lovable.

Even villains have a soft spot in their hearts.

Faced with a pure and kind child, unless they’re a deviant, generally, they won’t harbor much malice.

They’ll genuinely like them.

Especially people like Zhao Hu and Yang Tian.

Living at the top, filled with plots and responsibilities, managing subordinates, it was truly exhausting.

In the apocalypse, no one can be underestimated.

Children like Xiaoyueyue generally have no ulterior motives, clear and innocent.

Chatting with her or even just seeing her pure, sweet smile gives them a sense of healing.
