Chapter 32 Hu Xinyu's Change, the Old Man's Room in the Villa
Woke up, woke up...... When I woke up again, I found myself stripped naked...... I was lying on the big bed in a bedroom, and Sister Peng had just gone out to prepare food for me, and I had a dream in a daze. When I woke up, I heard a man walk into the room.
Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Clear.
"Brother Xiaoshi?"
I kept covering my head under the quilt, so I didn't see who it was. But through the voice, I still heard it at once, and there was only one person who would call me 'Brother Xiaoshi', Hu Xinyu. But I also clearly remember that on the night Xiaofan left, Xiaoyu called me 'Brother Shi'.
I didn't answer, and I didn't move. I don't know what Xiaoyu is doing here, whether she hates me because of Xiaofan's affairs, I don't know. If so, then I don't know if she came to kill me.
"Brother Xiaoshi?" Xiaoyu screamed again.
I still haven't responded, I don't know what I'm going to do, what I'm going to do if Xiaoyu comes to kill me; If Xiaoyu comes to me to cry, what should I say; If Xiaoyu complains about me, what should I say......
At this time, there was a sudden soft sound of 'dang' next to it, as if Xiaoyu had put something down. What is it? Knives?
What should I do? Should I jump up right away and kick the rain out? Or just subdue her? Or, send her to see Xiaofan? I didn't know what I was supposed to do, but the inexplicable fear was tapping on my nerves, and my head sank consciously, but the mattress was hard, and it couldn't sink anywhere. I felt like meat on a chopping board, stripped and washed for slaughter...... A layer of goosebumps gradually appeared on his body.
I felt the sound of clothes rubbing against me, and I felt something slowly approaching me, and I even felt that the quilt covering my face was gradually taking on a sharp shape...... Xiaoyu is really going to kill me?!
Pounce~ The quilt suddenly sank, and something pressed on my quilt. My head tightened, my right hand reflexively clenched into a fist, and then my left hand waved vigorously, grabbed the thing that pressed me through the quilt, pushed it outward, and did not let go, I sat up directly, and my right hand instantly rushed out of the quilt, and flew towards the person in front of me.
Without the slightest deviation, my right hand gripped the man's neck tightly, and I noticed that my left hand was grasping the man's wrist, not holding the knife as I had imagined. It wasn't until then that I went to look at the face in front of me, and sure enough, it was a light rain. I saw Xiaoyu's face in pain and panic, her neck was pinched by my hand, and she couldn't scream if she wanted to.
I didn't let go, but gave a quick glance to the side. On the bedside table, there is a bowl full of noodles, steaming hot. It turned out that Xiaoyu put down this just now. I looked around again, and there were no weapons to attack. Am I too sensitive......
At this time, looking at Xiaoyu again, it seems that he is almost out of breath. I quickly let go of my hands and snorted softly, "Ahh ā
Until now, I still can't be sure if Xiaoyu has any ill will towards me, if she had a knife in her hand just now, I wouldn't be surprised at all, but people brought me food, but I was rude to her...... I had to pretend to be a reflex when I just woke up to avoid embarrassment.
"Silk ......... Ahem...... cough cough cough ...... Cough ......" After I let go, Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and then began to cough violently.
"Xiaoyu, it's you Ang, it's okay." I asked, slightly concerned.
Xiaoyu coughed a few more times, then covered her mouth with one hand and shook her head vigorously at me, signaling that she was okay, but I saw that she was still coughing while shaking her head.
"I'm sorry, I was in a daze just now, conditioned reflex, don't blame me." I looked her in the eye and said.
Xiaoyu gasped for breath twice more before she slowly calmed down and said to me, "Brother Shi, I'm fine." ā
Easing his breathing, Xiaoyu raised his head and glanced at me, and was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes flickered, his brows furrowed, and his pretty face suddenly turned red, and then he hurriedly lowered his head and said softly: "Brother Shi." ā
"Ang, what's wrong?"
"That." Xiaoyu raised her finger and then hurriedly turned around and turned her back to me.
Ah......h My head was full of doubts, and I glanced down...... I'm angry! When I sat up just now, I used too much force, and I lifted all the quilts, and I had a shirt on my upper body, but it was still naked underneath, so my body was all seen by this girl!
I grinned, grabbed the quilt and covered my important parts. Forehead......
"Brother Shi, Brother Shi, on the cabinet is the instant noodles I cooked for you just now, you can eat it while it's hot! IāI'm going out first! Before the words fell, Xiaoyu turned around and walked out.
Instant noodle? I glanced back at the bowl and hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute! ā
"Ah" Xiaoyu stopped, then slowly turned her head to look, and found that I was covered with a quilt, so she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ā
Ignoring the embarrassment just now, I opened my mouth and asked, "Where did you get instant noodles, can you still cook here?" ā
Xiaoyu also stabilized her tone before she opened her mouth and said, "Well, the instant noodles were found in the refrigerator before." The kitchen stove downstairs is no longer usable, but there is an induction cooker that can be used to cook noodles. ā
"Oh," I said, but the first thought that popped into my mind was: is it poisonous in this side?
I've seen what the human heart will become in the last days, and I don't know if Xiaoyu will become like that. Once you've had it, you definitely don't want to have a second time.
"Xiaoyu, there's something I want to ask you." I said seriously.
Xiaoyu looked at me, then nodded, and walked over again.
I patted the side of the bed and said, "Sit." ā
Xiaoyu glanced at me before sitting down. It's said to be sitting, but in fact, it's just one side.
I half-leaned on the head of the bed and asked lightly, "What do you think about Xiaofan's affairs?" ā
"He's dead." Xiaoyu said.
To my surprise, the child did not react violently at all, her expression was so flat, and she said these three words almost without hesitation after I asked.
I waited for a while, but Xiaoyu didn't speak again, and then I asked, "That's it?" ā
"Hmm."
I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "You know, I threw Xiao Fan's body into the water. ā
"yes, I know."
"Have you ever hated me?"
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the floor, then raised her head to stare into my eyes, and said lightly: "If it were me now, I would have done that at that time." ā
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect Xiaoyu to give me such an answer. I can understand if she complained about me or was silent, but that's the answer. What do you mean by 'who I am'? And as she spoke, I could clearly feel the coldness in her eyes, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Light Rain ......"
"When I first learned the news, I really couldn't figure it out." Xiaoyu interrupted me and said, "But then you said that even if you are not bitten, people will mutate after death, and I understand." Also, Brother Shi, I hope this matter will not be mentioned again in the future. Xiaoyu said and stood up, "I've already gone to see your treatment of Wang Li, and that's enough." Eat noodles, I'm out. ā
This time I didn't hold on again, but when Xiaoyu walked to the door, I stopped.
"Brother Shi."
"Hmm"
"Little Fanta...... Did you say anything at the end? ā
"Oh...... He said, let me take good care of you. ā
As soon as I finished speaking, I seemed to see Xiaoyu shake all over, but I didn't react too much. She let out a soft "oh" and opened the door and walked out.
The last words...... When Xiaoyu said this question, my mind once again showed the scene before Xiaofan died-
"Stone... Elder brother...... Good... It hurts ......."
"Stone... Elder brother...... I'm so cold...... I'm so scared......"
"I... Don't want to die...... I don't want to...... Death......"
- Huh...... It's impossible for me to tell Xiaoyu these words.
I shook my head slightly, then glanced at the noodle bowl next to me. Yes, Xiaoyu didn't hate me, maybe I could be a little more relieved, besides, she's just a teenage girl. But Xiaoyu has indeed changed, and I'm sure she'll no longer be the shivering schoolgirl she used to be hiding behind people. Besides, after Xiaofan leaves, I guess she doesn't want to rely on it anymore.
But I think she still has some hatred for me, after all, I once promised to protect them, but it ended up like this, and Wang Li and Qin Feng were also taken in by me at the beginning. I wanted to get some news about the woman and the team from them, but it turned into such a disaster.
The light rain won't assassinate me.
I don't know why, but I had come to the conclusion that I had already made sure when I looked into her eyes just now. I picked up the noodle bowl with my hand, and quickly released it, I was angry, the bowl was still so hot......
I turned and went down to the ground, but I remembered that I wasn't pants on. I forgot to ask Xiaoyu just now. Forget it, I pulled the quilt over the important parts, and pulled the bedside table with the noodle bowl a little closer.
I picked up my chopsticks and looked at the steaming noodles in the bowl, and a faint warmth rose from my heart, and I didn't feel any uneasiness. I picked up a few noodles, put them to my lips, and said to myself, "You're not going to die." ā
Immediately, I put the noodles in my mouth with chopsticks and chewed them carefully. Rise...... Actually, I still like the taste of instant noodles, but if you eat this stuff every day, it will be harmful to your body. I remember there was a news story about a little girl who had eaten instant noodles for three months in a row and then hung up...... Is there a sickness, if it were me, I would be tired of it for three days in a row, and it would be three months...... However, in this last days, if you can eat instant noodles every day, it can be regarded as God's blessing...... No, I said I don't believe in God, play with eggs!
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't feel any discomfort. Now, I'll just say it's going to be fine, let's eat! I'm picking noodles on this side, and my stomach is still screaming, what is the hunger, this is, I really don't have a child.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh! It's so fragrant! Oops, there's an egg, that's good.
"Ahh I suddenly screamed softly, my eyes went dark, my body leaned back suddenly, my right hand covered half of my face, and I suddenly felt dizzy, and my body began to tighten unnaturally.
My left hand kept waving to find something, but my eyes were starting to lose sight, so I had to touch it randomly. Finally, I reached for a roll of toilet paper from next to my pillow, and I tore off a section as fast as I could, and pressed it to my face...... Rub it, rub it hard!
"I'm angry! Eat a noodle and splash the soup in your eyes! ā
After a period of random tossing, the eyes splashed by the noodle soup were finally relieved. I blinked vigorously a few times before I finally got used to it. Just as I was about to continue eating noodles, I suddenly saw a stack of clothes at the foot of the bed. I heard the sound of clothes rubbing before, and it turned out that Xiaoyu brought me the clothes.
With my left hand covering my lower body with the quilt, I ran to the foot of the bed and grabbed my clothes. When I looked out, it was a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, not the one I wore before, probably from the villa. But any clothes are better than naked, I hurriedly put on the jeans, which are also a bit big, but the intimate thing is that I also prepared a belt, and after tying it, it is almost the same. As for the T-shirt, it's yellow, forget it, the white shirt on the body is very good, and the size is a little too big to hinder the action.
Once the clothes were ready, I went back to eating noodles. After mentioning the bald one, he got a big bowl of soup and noodles, and he sweated a lot after eating, grabbed the T-shirt and wiped it casually, and threw it into the corner.
After eating the noodles, I felt that my strength had come back a lot, and I seemed to be really hungry. I turned around and went to the ground, this time I didn't have the same frizz as before, but carefully looked for shoes first, a pair of black sneakers neatly placed next to the bed, this is a shoe that has accompanied me for a long time, I like black.
I didn't see the socks, so I had to go down to the ground with my bare feet and shoes, kick the broken bench scum to the side, and I walked out of the room and went downstairs. Before going out, don't forget to tidy up your spirits, it's not okay to meet them with the reckless look just now, hey, it's not easy to lead a team.
The hall on the first floor is where 'people from all walks of life' gather. Basically, they are all idle, and Xiao Qi is even more leisurely, still sleeping.
I was still on the stairs, Lin Yang saw me, patted the armrest of the sofa casually, and said with a crooked smile: "I said Brother Da Lei, you can be regarded as awake!" ā
As he spoke, everyone turned to look at me, and I waved my hand like a leader inspecting before I walked down the stairs.
"Xiao Lei, do you feel better?" Sister Peng asked, and at the same time came over to help me.
"Well, it's okay." I waved my hand to show that I could, and then asked everyone, "Has anything happened in the past two days?" ā
Everyone shook their heads, and Lin Yang said, "Eat and sleep well!" Then he shook his hand and continued: "We have eaten enough, and you and this seventh brother have slept soundly. ā
I sat on the sofa, glanced at Xiao Qi, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, lit it, and asked, "Has he ever woken up?" ā
"Woke up," Lin Yang also lit a cigarette and said, "These seven brothers have a strong concept of time, they woke up at noon and once at night yesterday, and went back to sleep after eating with us." ā
"Ahem......" took a puff of cigarette, and I felt a wave of discomfort in my throat and coughed a few times. At this time, a voice came from the side: "Yes! Smoke to death! ā
I looked back and saw that it was Lin Yue, she turned her head to look to the side, but she knew that she was talking about me. But I didn't bother to deal with her, and I didn't want to worry about her, after all, I treated her like that two days ago, and the little girl was a little uncomfortable for a few days, and it didn't matter if I hurt me. At this time, Sister Peng walked up to me and sat down, and said, "Xiao Lei, don't smoke it yet, you just woke up, and your body is still weak." ā
"It's okay, don't worry." I flicked the ash and took two more puffs before I was able to recover.
"Shi Lei," Ao Xiang said loudly, "What are your plans next?" The tone is serious, and the expression is serious. This kid has his eye on me, and if I make a mistake, he'll fix it as soon as possible, and I don't doubt that.
I looked at the crowd and asked, "What do you think?" "I said I wasn't a dictator.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't say anything. In the end, Lin Yang said: "Wote thinks it's a taste!" ā
Wote thought it tasted...... Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and no one understood what he was saying. Seeing that we didn't understand, Lin Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "It's 'it doesn't matter' in English, I don't understand it...... Ay~! ā
"Hey!" Lin Yue frowned and said, "That's whateve."
ļ¼ Don't be ashamed, okay......"
"Huh? ā¦ā¦ Yes! Almost, almost! Lin Yang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
No one complains anymore...... It was Sister Peng beside her who gently covered her face and smiled. When I saw this scene, I suddenly remembered that when she took care of herself, she was undressed... Forehead... I don't know who took it off for me... It's embarrassing......
The thoughts in my heart didn't show on my face, and I continued: "In this case, let's rest here for another one or two days, it's best to wait for Xiao Qi to be fully awake, the specific time depends on the situation, we have to prepare some useful supplies, and then set off to Yutian City to find a safe place." ā
At this time, Ao Xiang said: "But Yutian City is very big, where are we going to find it?" ā
I've thought about this question before, only Ao Xiang is from Yutian City, but he, like us, doesn't know where Yutian City is safe. It's not easy to find a location in a huge provincial capital city with no clues, not to mention an endless army of zombies and many unknown dangerous elements. There is a more important point, but it cannot be mentioned with them here.
I didn't answer Ao Xiang's question directly, but changed my tone and asked, "What has that old man done in the past two days?" ā
He was stunned for a moment and said, "There's nothing strange about it, I come down every day at noon and evening to get something to eat, and the rest of the time I basically stay in my own room upstairs." Lin Yang and I will check it out regularly. ā
"Hmm" I nodded and said, "I'll talk to him later, maybe he knows something about Yutian Security." ā
No one objected. I remembered something and asked, "How much food is there?" ā
At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Sister Peng, who sighed and said: "It's almost gone, the instant noodles I cooked for you before were the last pack, and now there are two French breads and eight eggs left in the refrigerator." ā
It's so detailed, if it were me, maybe the number of eggs could only be remembered, but this little thing is not enough for these people to eat. "Looks like we're going to have to get out." I took a drag on my cigarette and said.
"You can rest," Lin Yang said, "I have discussed it with Ao Xiang, and when you wake up, we will go out and find some food and come back." ā
I glanced at Ao Xiang, and he nodded. I thought about it and said, "I'll go with Lin Yang, and Ao Xiang will stay to protect everyone." That's it. ā
"Shi Lei, I'll go. I'm from Yutian City, and I'm familiar with the environment. Ao Xiang said.
"Brother Shi, I'll go too!" Xiaoyu also spoke out at this time.
Sister Peng also said on the side: "Xiao Lei, your body ......"
Only Lin Yang and Lin Yue didn't say anything, it is estimated that Lin Yue is too lazy to deal with me, and Lin Yang should understand that this is a decision. Of course, the 'sleeping god' didn't move. I stood up and said, "One last time, I'll go with Lin Yang, it's decided." As I spoke, I glanced at each of them, and they gave up speaking.
"All right," I said, extinguishing the cigarette butt, "I'll go upstairs and ask the old man." With that, I turned around and walked up the stairs.
At this time, Lin Yang also got up and followed, and said, "Let's go together." ā
I nodded, but saw that the others wanted to follow, so I said, "Okay, you don't have to come with all, or people will think that we are going to plot against us, so we can just go up." ā
After saying that, Lin Yang and I went upstairs.
I also have some consideration for not letting Ao Xiang go, although Ao Xiang is from Yutian City, it will be of great help for us to enter the city, but this time I just went to find food, and I didn't have to go too deep, so it was okay for Ao Xiang to go or not. Besides, Yutian City was so big, it was impossible for him to know everything about it. In addition, there is a key question, that is, when he goes out, Ao Xiang will not 'add to the chaos'. After all, he used to be a police officer, and he seems to be a conscientious type, what if he goes out to look for food, he meets a survivor in the city, and he insists on saving it, and what if he is injured. So after a little consideration, I excluded Ao Xiang from the team looking for food. In this way, except for me and Lin Yang, other people are not suitable at all.
As for staying behind, Ao Xiang's ability is enough. And judging from Xiao Qi's ability to get up and eat, he is almost fine, with him, why don't I worry about my 'hometown' when I go out.
This time I am looking for the old man, I also have a fundamental purpose. That is, there is one thing that I can't tell them before, about our destination. Yutian Safety Station, whether it exists.
At first it was my guess that Yutian was a provincial capital. Guide. You have to get a 'protective circle' or something. Later, after the words of Wang Li, Lin Yang and others, it seems that such a place really exists. But the question is whether by the time we arrive, the safety station is still there, and it will be in ruins, like the previous garden security station.
On the second floor, we walked to the door of the old man's room. I listened first, but there was no movement, and then I raised my hand and knocked on the door.
Boom... Boom... Boom......
"Sir, we have something to ask you, open the door."
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. I turned around and asked Lin Yang, "Did he go out?" ā
"No" Lin Yang shook his head and said, "We have been in the hall all the time, and we haven't seen him come out since last night." ā
I nodded, continued to knock on the door, and said, "Sir, open the door, I have something to look for you." ā
After waiting for a while, there was the sound of shuffling footsteps in the room. Then, the door was opened, and the old man appeared in front of us, with an unhappy face, and said with a slight anger: "What do you want to do?!" ā
I said, "You don't have to be nervous, there is not enough food in the villa now, we are going to go out to find some back, and I want to inquire with you about the situation in Yutian City." ā
"Oh, that's right." The old man seemed to relax a little. I guess he thought we're going to cut him down.
"Can we go in?" I glanced behind him, but I couldn't see the whole room.
"No need," said the old man, who came out and closed the door, "just say it here, what do you want to ask?" ā
I looked at him, thought about it quickly, and then said, "Do you know anything about the situation in Yutian, where are the nearest stores, supermarkets, or food processing factories?" ā
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Get out of the villa, go south, cross a road, and then you will arrive at Yutian City, which is about 3 kilometers from here." In the city, there are several shops along the street, as well as a large supermarket. As for the processing plant, there is one in the east of Yutian, but it is far from here. ā
"Do you have a car?" I asked.
The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "It turned out that there was, but then people drove them away." ā
"Who is it, didn't you say that your family is gone?"
"A few passers-by," said the old man, "I don't know where they came from, and they didn't stay here, but drove away from all the two cars in the garage." ā
Lin Yang next to him laughed and said, "You are generous enough, just give them the key." ā
"I didn't plan to go out, and it was useless to ask for a car. Besides, I'm a bad old man, and I can't afford to mess with people. ā
I suddenly had a wit and subconsciously asked, "How many people are there, when did they come, and do you remember any of the characteristics?" ā
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Ah...... Remember, a week ago, it was three foreigners, each with a big bag, one of the little girls could speak Chinese, and they were all quite polite. They also left me some food. In this world, no one in the same country knows how to respect the old and love the young, and it is better for a few foreigners to pay attention to etiquette. ā
Foreigner? ā¦ā¦ Well, it has nothing to do with me. For a moment now, I wondered if it would be Liu Sende's gang, it seems that I was too careful. But this old man is also prejudiced enough, there are good and bad people everywhere, if he catches up with foreign villains, it is also possible to chop him in half. But the three of them drove away two cars, so can't you leave one for the others?
Thinking about it so much, I got down to business, so I said, "Sir, I have something to ask you." ā
"You say."
I suppressed my voice and asked, "Do you know this place in the Jade Sky Safety Place?" ā
"Ah, I know."
I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect this old man to really know, so I hurriedly asked, "Is there really this place!" Do you know where it is? ā
"That's right," the old man said, "Some time ago, the radio said every day that there was a safe place in Yutian City, but I couldn't hear it during this time. ā
"Yes." Sure enough, something went wrong with this security station.
"My radio is out of battery." The old man said calmly.
I'm angry............ Have I ever said the most annoying ones for the big gasps.
"Do you know where it is?" I asked, suppressing the hint of unhappiness.
The old man said, "Ah, it was said on the radio, I remember it was ...... Ah yes, in Shinan, Shinan...... The one on Keyuan Road. ā
"Keyuan Road, can you be sure?"
"That's right," the old man affirmed, "it's on Keyuan Road." It seems that those foreigners also mentioned the issue of the safety center. ā
Foreigners have nothing to do with me, just know the location, just go back to Ao Xiang and talk about it. I thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, but I have one last thing." ā
"What?"
"I'm going to come into your room and have a look."
"No way!" The old man was resolute, but that only made me more sure of what was in his room. Don't keep a few zombies in the room like in American dramas, then I can't go out.
"Why?" My tone began to darken cold.
The old man looked at me with a stiff face, and said, "We have already said that you can use whatever you want in other places, and you can eat whatever you want, but this room is my own place, and you must not come in." ā
"What if I have to go in!"
"Young man," the old man suddenly showed a slightly sad look, sighed, and said, "I don't want to interfere with you, I just want to live two more days, and I hope you can leave me the last quiet place." ā
"Sir," I said solemnly, "I don't mean to harm you, but I want to make sure that my team is safe, and for this I have to check your room, and if you strongly disagree, I don't guarantee the consequences." ā
"You!" The old man glared at me, and I didn't speak, just glared back at him.
After a while, the old man lowered his head, held his head for a while, and then raised his head and said, "Okay, but only one of you is allowed to come in." ā
"Okay." I replied happily. Then he looked at Lin Yang beside him and nodded at him, and Lin Yang also nodded in agreement.
The old man slowly turned around and pushed the door open, and I flashed him straight past him and strode in.
I'm angry...... As soon as I entered the door, a strong musty smell rushed directly into my nose, and my head was dizzy. At this time, the sound of the old man closing the door came from behind him, and at the same time said, "Look at it, go out quickly after reading." ā
I shook my head, then opened my eyes slightly and saw that the room was very dark, and the thick curtains tightly blocked the light outside. I glanced around and found no zombies. The room was very clean, all kinds of things were neatly stacked, and the floor seemed spotless, but the smell was unacceptable, and I don't know why this old man stayed here for so long.
I saw a huge picture hanging on one wall, with a gold frame on the outside. It was an old wedding photo, with a beautiful lady sitting on the picture, even if it was just a photo, it revealed her noble temperament. Behind him, a handsome man in a suit stood there, looking in good spirits. Both of them had happy and warm smiles, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in my heart after reading them. And when I think of the end times now, there is a kind of bitterness that comes to mind.
"Is this your wedding photo?" I asked casually.
"Have you finished reading it, go out after reading it!" The old man was angry again.
The feeling of comfort is suddenly gone, and it is really boring. I glanced back at him, and then looked into the room, there was nothing suspicious, there was a piece of bread on a dressing table, but it looked like that, and it took three days to go to the toilet for a bite.
There are no zombies, no Tibetans, it's that I'm thinking too much. It seems that the old man really wants to leave a quiet place, looking at the photos and reminiscing about the previous time, whether the wedding photos are his and his wife's, or his children's, I think, for him, it can be regarded as the last spiritual support.
I turned around and walked briskly to the door, the musty smell was still rolling in my nose, I didn't want to stay for a second, and when I got to the door, I grabbed the doorknob with one hand, and then turned back and said, "I won't bother again." With that, I opened the door and walked out.
Closing the door, Lin Yang asked, "How is it?" What's going on inside? ā
"There is no danger." I'm talking succinctly.
Lin Yang nodded, looked at the door of the room and said nothing.
"Alright," I said, "let's go downstairs and talk to Ao Xiang about the safety station, and then find something that can be used as a weapon, and we'll leave in a moment." ā
"Oh!"
