Chapter 70: Waiting for the Beast

If the beast goes and returns, then the area around the unroofed house will become a battlefield.

In order to familiarize themselves with the terrain, Jiang Chanji and Chen Yiyi walked back and forth several times around the house, inside and out.

A three-storey single-family villa with no cap on the top floor.

The basement is not yet finished.

The doors on the first floor are wide open, and there are too many gaps in the windows, doors, garage doors, to get in and out.

The second floor was the most complete, and they found in the corner of a room what was barely a nest, some kind of animal hair left on the broken quilt abandoned by the construction workers, and some leftover animal bones around it, mainly rodents.

The third floor was littered with solidified cement blocks and sand, and nothing beyond that.

Now that the beast's den has been found, it is more likely that it will return to this place.

"Battle plan: If both of us stay on the first floor, the beast may not dare to approach, so I stay on the first floor as a bait, and you hide on the second floor, waiting for the opportunity. ”

Chen Yiyi looked at him suspiciously, this instruction was too vague, she didn't know what it meant to wait for an opportunity, she preferred those clear instructions.

Jiang Chanji didn't know how to define waiting for the opportunity to move, so he had to change his words: "When I call you, you will come down." ”

She nodded obediently and went to the second floor to set up an ambush.

"Wait a minute, I'll help you find a weapon to defend yourself from. ”

Jiang Chanji's body is a weapon, but Chen Yiyi's body is just an ordinary girl's body, does she have to rely on selling cuteness when facing fierce beasts?

He searched the floor a few times, found a broken tile in the shape of a thin triangle, and then untied the warning tape, and used the warning tape to wrap the wide half of the tile several times as a grip to prevent his own hand from being cut.

A simple tile dagger was formed, the thin end was rather sharp.

He held and waved it a few times, it didn't feel very comfortable, a little panicked, but it was barely usable, not suitable for chopping, only suitable for stabbing.

"This dagger can only be used once, the tile is too brittle, I am afraid it will break after piercing the body of the beast, but this is good, the fragments of the tile remain in the body of the beast, it cannot heal or stop the bleeding, and it hurts to death. ”

He handed the dagger grip at her.

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself. ”

She took the tile dagger, looked down for a moment, carefully held it in her hand, and turned to go upstairs.

Jiang Chanji found a conspicuous position on the first floor and sat down, it was easy to see him from the outside, he just wanted the beast to see it.

The long wait began.

It was half past one in the afternoon when they entered the ruins, and now they tossed around for a while, and it was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun moves slowly in the sky, and the sun makes people drowsy.

Jiang Chanji wanted to take a nap but didn't dare to doze, for fear that as soon as he closed his eyes and opened his eyes again, he would see a bloodthirsty beast standing in front of him.

He and Chen Yiyi have neither watches nor mobile phones, and can only judge the current time by the degree of hunger - he trusts his biological clock in this regard.

"Yiyi, are you still there? not asleep, are you?"

Every half hour or so, he would yell upstairs and see a pebble roll down the stairs to represent her answer.

He waited boredly until his stomach rumbled, reminding him that it was time to go to the cafeteria for dinner in the afternoon.

When I turned my head, I saw that the sun had sunk to the western horizon, reflecting the fiery clouds in the sky.

The two teachers hope they can resolve the incident before nightfall, and it seems that they are going to disappoint them.

Even more disappointed was himself, missing out on a dinner.

"Yiyi, are you hungry?" he asked, looking up at the ceiling.

No response.

"If you are hungry, throw a stone, and if you are not hungry, throw two. ”

Two pebbles tumbled down the stairs.

"How can you not be hungry......"

Since he was hungry, the beast was probably hungry too.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. It probably doesn't look down on rodents after eating people, and if there are no other pedestrians in the ruins today who can serve as its prey, it should still return here to enjoy the stockpile, but it should not know that the two corpses have been transported.

The sun struggled a few times on the horizon before being dragged into the darkness by an invisible hand.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

I don't know if Zixuan has returned home safely.

There are five hours left until midnight deadline.

If they don't finish their task and get out of the ruins at midnight, the teachers waiting outside will enter the ruins and take action to deal with the beast, which means that the mission has failed.

On the main road of the villa complex, there is occasionally a solar street lamp that can still be on, but there is no artificial light source around the house they are waiting for.

The interior of the house is barely visible.

Jiang Chanji shifted his position and sat at the door instead, allowing the moonlight to illuminate his body.

"Yiyi, are you cold?"

Two pebbles.

The integrity of the second floor is good, although there is no glass, but one or two rooms next to the stairs are storage rooms or cloakrooms without external windows, unlike the first floor.

If it was Jiang Chanji before, he would have been shivering from the cold, but now the source energy in his body is fighting the cold, and even if he hasn't strengthened his skin and muscles, he doesn't feel particularly cold.

"Don't fall asleep, you'll catch a cold if you fall asleep. ”

A pebble.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

The boring wait was irritating, and Jiang Chanji had already begun to seriously consider whether to put some blood on himself to attract the fierce beast over.

At that moment, his stomach suddenly throbbed.

He immediately came back to his senses, as if he was not hungry......

He brace himself and observe the movement around him through the moon, clenching his fists at the same time.

"Yiyi, there seems to be a situation...... Be vigilant and don't respond. ”

He was afraid of scaring away the fierce beast, so he didn't dare to speak too loudly, but in such a quiet night, as long as Chen Yiyi didn't fall asleep upstairs, he should be able to hear it.

Glancing around, there are many shadows of construction waste nearby, but as far as the eye can see, there is nothing that moves.

The stomach throbbed again, and the thing at the bottom of the lake seemed extremely excited.

Jiang Chanji suddenly realized, could it be behind him?

There are several entrances and exits on the first floor, if the beast sneaks around him and sneaks up on him......

He immediately turned around and saw two ghostly eyes quietly moving towards him in the dark room where he couldn't reach his fingers.

It would be unwise to fight an animal with dark vision in the dark, and without thinking, he retreated from the door to the outside.

The beast wandered outside for a day but found nothing, returning to its lair hungry, and the food reserves were gone, which made it extremely angry, and the anger was naturally poured out on Jiang Chan's body.

If it hadn't smelled the scent of several strangers nearby, it might have come out earlier, but it waited for a long time until it confirmed that there was no second person except Jiang Chanji, and then it decided to attack, but unfortunately the sneak attack failed.
