Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 451 - Chapter 451 Chapter 450 Facing the First Challenge

Su Shu held up her own water bottle and shook it, “I still have some.”

“I notice you drink frequently. Is there not much left?” Tang Zelin had noticed his wife unscrewing her bottle to take sips now and then throughout the day. How could there still be water in it?

He had been worried that she might run out later, so he had restrained himself from drinking and saved it for her.

“I still have plenty. Don’t believe me? Look,” she said.

She handed her water bottle to Tang Zelin.

Tang Zelin, somewhat skeptical, took it, weighed it in his hand, and sure enough, it felt mostly full, which made him furrow his brows in confusion.

“You drink a sip now and then, how can there be so much left?”

Su Shu took it back, smiled and said, “Because I’m a woman, I drink often but in small amounts. So don’t worry about me, drink for yourself. If you run out, can I pour you some from mine?”

“I don’t need to pour; I have enough. We’ll walk a bit more. There’s a place to replenish on the way.”

“Oh, then stop worrying about me. Rest assured, if I’m lacking anything, I’ll tell you. Don’t hold back because you’re looking out for me,” Su Shu said caringly.

Tang Zelin nodded, “Okay.”

Since she had enough water, he didn’t need to hold back anymore. He sat next to her, tilted his head back, and took several big gulps.

Su Shu pulled out some dry food and a few packets of chicken sausages from her backpack and handed them to Tang Zelin, intending them for the warriors.

Tang Zelin admired this about her; he wondered how she managed to fit all those things into such a small backpack.

Unable to help but chuckle, he said, “Didn’t I tell you not to bring anything too heavy? You didn’t listen when we left, did you?”

Su Shu smiled lightly, “It’s okay, it’s not too heavy. It’s better to carry more, so we have food on the road.”

Feeding a few people separately wasn’t that bad, considering that a big part of the reason they were out here was because of Tang Zelin’s personal affairs.

Su Shu’s thought process was simple: whoever Tang Zelin wanted to take care of, she would also try her best to help.

Zhang Dongke and Wang Meng were woken up by Tang Zelin’s voice. At first, they were surprised, but the next second, when they saw the delicious food before them, their eyes instantly lit up.

“Thank you, sister-in-law!” Eight or nine soldiers exclaimed joyfully as they received the sausages.

After a brief rest, the group continued on their journey.

As the sun set and evening approached, the squad faced their first major challenge.

At this point, they had effectively entered the region of Pengcheng, and the dilemma was whether to take the main road or a side path.

Taking the main road would allow them to reach Pengcheng City Center around ten at night. If they took the side path, it might delay them by a few hours, arriving in the middle of the night.

After the apocalypse, the safety ratings of the neighboring province were not as high as those of Province C; meaning that, whether they took the main road or the side path, dangers were inevitable.

The difference was only that taking the main road could lead them to encounter organized gangs, whereas taking the side path might bring them face to face with small groups of robbers.

In total, their group consisted of eleven people, including one woman. When calculating combat strength, Tang Zelin didn’t count Su Shu.

The combat strength of ten men was sufficient to handle smaller groups.

However, facing a large group with superior equipment was unpredictable.

He had heard stories about an arsenal in the neighboring province being looted.

Even though that gang was eventually wiped out, the batch of military weapons they stole could no longer be traced.

But taking the main road held an appealing advantage: the most powerful armed force in Pengcheng was located at the end of the main road.
