Chapter XXIV. He's coming?

Should I go in or not?

Looking at the two-story building in front of him, which was mainly built with gray and black as the main tone, Lu Yu had no plan in his heart for a while.

The small building is not big, and there are some unknown green plants planted in the two-inch fence.

At some point, the sky became darker

Lu Yu, who was lurking in the nearby grass, was somewhat hungry.

The blood on his legs had already coagulated into blood clots and stained his pants. On the other hand, the pain is not solidified.

For Lu Yu, it was like a blade, constantly stimulating his nerves.

Can't wait.

Lu Yu knew that the injury on his leg had to be medicated in time.

After three days of fighting, the inflexibility of legs and feet alone is enough to snuff out one's vitality.

Right now, it's very likely that the medicine you need is in this small building.

was consumed little by little, or fought with the people in the house, Lu Yu would rather choose the latter.

Wrong!

Before, he was just observing from a distance, when Lu Yu really walked in front of Xiao Lou. A vague smell of blood, accompanied by a breeze, drilled into Lu Yu's nose.

Someone is dead in this room!

A ridiculous idea wells up from within.

How could I have such a strange thought, Lu Yu took a deep breath, and finally decided to sneak into the house quietly.

Looking through the crack in the door, there didn't seem to be anyone.

The empty hall was filled with simple furniture, and the floor was littered with miscellaneous objects, as if they had been searched.

Wait a minute...

Door?

Isn't the door closed?

In other words, the people who went in to search were most likely gone? There is no need to clash head-on with others, Lu Yu is still a little happy in his heart.

Squeak –

Lu Yu pulled the doorknob with both hands upward, trying not to make the sound of the door opening so obvious.

The door opened

What greeted me was an empty hall, not unlike the scene seen in the crack of the door before.

Looking at the rags all over the ground, Lu Yu began to worry a little about his medicine.

The kitchen didn't

Toilets don't

The master bedroom does not

Neither in the living room

After a carpet search, Lu Yu, who had no gains, finally set his sights on the second floor, which had not moved.

Maybe it's on the second floor, Lu Yu doesn't want to give up casually

Bang bang bang,

Just then, a dull knocking sound came from the second floor.

Anyone else?

Lu Yu, who heard the voice, immediately clenched the pickaxe in his hand, lowered his footsteps, and slowly walked towards the stairs.

No matter who he was, Lu Yu felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

It didn't take long for Lu Yu to identify the room where the sound came from.

Standing in front of the door and taking a deep breath, Lu Yu could already foresee the fierce battle that would follow.

Syllable!

The thin wooden door shattered in response.

The swinging hoe pierced the wooden door, mixed with flying wood chips, and fell heavily into the house.

"Don't move!"

Lu Yu, who was holding a repeating crossbow, kicked the remaining wooden door open with one kick and rushed straight in.

According to his thinking, this behavior was enough to make the people inside unable to react.

It's just that...

Looking at the equally empty guest bedroom, Lu Yu found that the situation seemed to be not quite the same as he imagined.

Bang bang bang,

In a daze, the sound of percussion sounded again from the room.

Who the hell is it? Lu Yu quickly looked in the direction of the sound coming from, and his whole heart was hanging in his throat

In the corner, there was a girl with her back against the edge of the cabinet, her hair was messy, her face was a little bruised, her mouth was specially sealed with duct tape, and her hands were tied behind her back.

After searching the entire room again and making sure that there was no second person, Lu Yu fixed his eyes on the poor girl in front of him.

"What is the relationship between the people hanging outside and you?"

Woo woo woo~

After seeing Lu Yu's gaze, the girl immediately struggled violently.

Do you think you're a bad guy?

That's right, in this kind of game where it's either you die or I live, there will be some good people there. Lu Yu sneered, and under the girl's surprised gaze, he untied her.

"What are you going to do?"

Before Lu Yu could react, the girl took the first step to tear off the tape on her mouth and yelled at him.

"Me?"

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly, "You must go to the designated safe area within the specified time, you should know this better than me." ”

"You know, that's not what I wanted to ask."

"Anyway, I saved you, after all. You might as well tell me what happened here. ”

"Stay away from me."

Looking at the red-eyed girl in front of her, Lu Yu knew in her heart that she still hadn't let down her vigilance against herself, so she said helplessly, "Okay, since you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask." ”

"It's been so hard to travel all the way, I'll rest here for a while, collect some supplies and leave, do you think it's okay?"

"My partner and I risked our lives to collect the supplies from the residential area in the center, so why should we give them to you?" Perhaps because she hadn't eaten for a long time, the girl's voice was a little dry.

And all this directly caused her to think she was very fierce, to Lu Yu's ears, it was like a little girl being coquettish to her elders.

Poof-

couldn't hold back all of a sudden, Lu Yu laughed.

"What are you laughing at, do you think I'm joking with you?" Seeing this, the girl said unceremoniously.

"No... No, I just think you're cute. ”

When he said this, Lu Yu didn't mean to joke at all.

Under the red duck egg face, a pair of big eyes, coupled with its small body, isn't it a cute girl who is alive and easy?

"No, I'm the one with the weapon in my hand now, why should I fight with you here." As Lu Yu spoke, he skillfully removed the repeater tied to his hand, and made a gesture to aim it at the girl.

"Don't.. Don't, I say, I'll say it now. The girl changed her previous indignant expression and hurriedly begged Lu Yu for mercy.

"Well, that's right. If you cooperated with me like this, I might have let you go sooner. Seeing that the girl finally gave in, Lu Yu's tone was no longer as tough as before.

But...

Play to play, make trouble, and there must be vigilance.

Although he was talking to the girl on this end, the crossbow in his hand was still firmly aimed at the target, and he had no intention of putting it away.

After all, no matter how weak the girl in front of her looks, she is still a contender for the final spot.

Just as a girl won't believe herself, she will never believe her.

After all, it's a matter of life and death...... There is no right or wrong.

...

"As you can see, the three of them are partners in my alliance halfway through."

In the messy living room, the girl pointed to the three hanged ghosts and said proudly, without hiding the joy in her heart that brought about surviving.

"Didn't the instructor say before that this is a game of sole survivors? Then how did you end up...... I'm sorry, but I mean to say why did you choose to cooperate? ”

"Are you stupid?"

The girl glanced at Lu Yu, and then said, "That's right, in principle, there can only be one survivor in this game. But despite this, there are still a lot of people who choose to form an alliance, do you know why? ”

"Why"

It's not that I'm pretending to be confused. In fact, Lu Yu really agrees with the practice of forming an alliance.

I am worried all day long, and I don't even dare to go into a deep sleep when I sleep, for fear of being slaughtered quietly, how can anyone like this kind of life.

"Most of the time, you have to admit that one person really can't match the strength of a team. Whether it's opening a road or conducting a search, a large number of people means that everyone will share the risk. ”

"Relatively safe, that's exactly what most people want. So... We have an alliance" The girl saw that Lu Yu still looked confused, so she added, "Of course, this alliance is not in the full sense of the word"

"What do you mean? In the illustrative point! ”

"It's a different kind of competition, to be precise. Hunting, tracking, pathfinding, searching, each link is in charge of a separate person. Together, we fight against external enemies and compete fairly for the last place to survive. ”

"Since the team is really as good as you say it is." Lu Yu paused, pointed to the hanging corpse and said, "How could the three of them be hanged here?" ”

"That's... That's because—" At this point, the girl's face suddenly became very ugly.

"He's coming"
