Late at night, the brass ring, dark, and eerie to make people feel frightened.

In the alleys and empty buildings, hundreds of madmen gathered together, all in tatters, covered in patina-colored ash. But even with this layer of ash, their pale faces and chapped lips were still palpable.

Compared to those who starved to death and died of thirst, they are considered "lucky", even if the price paid is their own sanity.

Under the moonlight, they sat together, staring at blood-red eyes and letting out a low, oozing roar.

"Water...... Water ......"

Suddenly, a madman who seemed to be their leader walked up to the center of the crowd, screamed "ahhh Immediately afterward, the rest of the madmen also let out a few roars in response, and then took out the food they had looted for the day, including unopened cans and foul-smelling carrion.

They gathered all the food at the feet of the leading madman, and then returned to their original positions, kneeling on the ground, and bowed down with their hands raised in a posture of worship.

And the leading madman, after counting the food at his feet, stood still in the center, slowly stretched out his hands, and gradually closed his eyes, as if he was muttering something, pinching his fingers and counting. Half a minute later, he slowly opened his eyes, and after taking a long breath, he calmly squatted down and methodically divided the pile of food into nearly 100 portions.

"Ah......h

When it was done, the madman shouted again, and the rest of the hundreds of madmen rushed to his feet, scrambling to grab their share of food.

It stands to reason that the food that has been distributed is not all for one person? Why rush to grab it?

The answer is very simple: if their actions could be measured by reason, they would not be called "crazy". In today's world, "robbing and plundering" is the only way for them to survive.

"Ahh Yes! ”

Given the food, the madmen suddenly howled uncontrollably, like a pack of excited jackals. However, this excitement came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, hunger completely took over their bodies.

But just as they opened their bloody mouths to stuff the smelly food into their mouths, a strange sound suddenly sounded three streets away. All the madmen turned their heads stiffly, their eyes wide red, and their mouths grinned, all while letting out a long "huh" whistle.

"Bang! Bang bang! ”

The hurried knock on the door woke up Ouyang Yunyi, who was napping, and she glanced around several times in a daze, only to find that the door of the inn had violently shook twice.

"Who's ......"

Ouyang Yunyi glanced back at the clock on the wall, half past two in the morning. She was shocked, hurriedly pulled out the sledgehammer under the front desk, and then quietly came to the door.

"Bang bang!"

The knock on the door was more urgent and chaotic.

However, Ouyang Yunyi didn't open the door, she just held a sledgehammer, stared at the crack of the door with her eyes, and told herself repeatedly: "Aren't they just a few crazy people!" After the reinforcement of the gate, they can't break in! Even if they did knock the door open...... I...... I'll just ......"

"Bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”

Listening to the increasingly urgent knock on the door, Ouyang Yunyi was still a little nervous and scared in her heart, she glanced back at the empty hall, couldn't help choking, and thought, "What if I can't hit?" that

Didn't they let them break in? They must have known that I was the only one in the inn, so they suddenly came to the door! Annoying...... Where the hell are you...... Get the hell out of here......"

For a while, Ouyang Yunyi regretted a little, she knew that she would encounter this kind of thing, and when Ah Fu went out, she should have told him to come back as soon as possible after visiting Mr. Xu. But somehow, a whole day passed, and there was no news at all except for a text message from Ah Fu saying "I'm at the hospital".

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”

The knock on the door made people more and more anxious, Ouyang Yunyi's face suddenly lost blood, and cold sweat broke out in her palms and back, but even so, she still grabbed the wooden handle, and after moving back half a step slightly, she suddenly raised the sledgehammer high and shouted hysterically: "Ah! You crazy people! Get out of here! ”

“……”

The knock on the door stopped abruptly, and everything seemed to be quiet again.

"This ......" Ouyang Yunyi was stunned, couldn't help but wonder, and thought, "No, those crazy people are so obedient now?" I just shouted, and they really stopped! That's fine, get out of here, and wait for Ah Fu to come back......"

However, this calm lasted only about ten seconds. Suddenly there was another knock on the door, and the door shook frequently, this time, obviously more urgent, and more surprising.

"Help! Come on! Help me! ”

"Please! O kind people! Open the door! ”

It was a man's voice, it sounded, his voice was completely hoarse, but he didn't mean to give up, he still pulled his neck, and screamed as hard as he could.

"Huh?" Ouyang Yunyi was completely dumbfounded, only to see that she gradually put down the sledgehammer and stared at the door of the inn with a dull expression. In other words, in the past few months, she has met many crazy people, but none of them can speak a complete sentence, and she and Ah Fu guess that they have lost their minds and even their ability to speak.

"Ahh They're coming! Please! Open the door! ”

Ouyang Yunyi frowned, and suddenly thought about it, and suddenly realized that he might have been completely mistaken.

The person standing outside the door was not a madman, but a man who had fled. The reason why he knocked on the door so quickly was not to come in and grab food, but to call for help.

"Not good!"

Ouyang Yunyi screamed, hurriedly dropped the sledgehammer, and struggled to lift the iron bolt on the gate, and threw it to the side with a "bang". But suddenly, she found that the door was locked, so she quickly ran to the front desk, took the keychain back, and unscrewed the door lock in a panic.

"They're coming! They're coming! Open the door! Please! ”

"Got it!" Ouyang Yunyi shouted, grabbed the doorknob with both hands, and pulled it in.

This dark black solid wood door was already very heavy, and in order to prevent the crazy people from breaking in, Ah Fu welded five layers of finger-wide steel plates on the door, so that without borrowing any external force, even Ah Fu himself had to make some effort to push the door open.

Therefore, just with Ouyang Yunyi's daughter, let alone pulling the door open, it is impossible to open even a crack, but she did not give up. I saw her gritting her teeth and looking left and right, and saw an iron rod in the corner of the hall, which was also used to deal with the madman.

"Sir! You wait! ”

"Ahh What are you waiting for! Please! Open the door! Good people have good rewards! I can give you whatever you want! ”

"Sir

…… Alas! ”

Ouyang Yunyi let go of his hand without hesitation, ran to the corner of the hall as fast as he could, and picked up the iron. Then she hurried back to the gate, laid the iron flat on the ground, picked up the sledgehammer at her feet, and slammed it to the end.

I heard only a "click", and the iron rod was perfectly inserted into the crack of the door.

"Sir! You push forward! Be sure to push hard! ”

At this moment, there was the sound of "rumbling" footsteps outside the door, and the roaring sound of one after another, and listening carefully, they were obviously coming towards the inn.

Ouyang Yunyi's heart tightened, and suddenly she didn't dare to open the door, after all, she was the only one in this inn, this isolated and helpless, if the door opened, they all rushed in, then what was the purpose of the three months of hard support? Isn't everything that he and Ah Fu have worked so hard to build up turned into a bubble?

"I push! I can't push it! They're coming! They're coming! Please! You can respond to me! It has been shown that you must be a good person! But, please! Don't give up! Don't leave me here alone! Please! ”

His words were like a feather arrow, straight into Ouyang Yunyi's heart. She shook her head sharply before she finally came to her senses.

In today's copper ring, too many people have left, do you want to die for a little selfishness? A human life, perhaps, in the eyes of the gang in the central area, is less valuable than a rotten copper coin. But if even an ordinary townsfolk think so, is there any hope for this greedy town?

"Sir! You push hard! ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Yunyi used all his strength to push the iron rod, and just when the footsteps were very close, he only heard a "hiss", and the door of the inn was finally pried open with a crack that could drill people. Immediately afterward, she hurriedly threw away the iron rod and put her hands against the door, ready to push the door back the moment the person outside the door came in.

"Sir! Come on in! Ouyang Yunyi shouted urgently.

But who expected, it was not a person who entered the door, but two snow-white packages. Ouyang Yunyi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly took a look, but saw that the street less than five meters away from the inn was covered with rows of blood-red eyes, and those crazy people were about to run to their faces!

At this moment, a gray figure suddenly passed through the crack in the door, and Ouyang Yunyi immediately gritted his teeth and pushed the door forward with great difficulty. But the door was difficult to open, and it was even more difficult to close, so after the figure successfully entered the inn, he did not stop for a moment, but immediately bypassed Ouyang Yunyi, and also pushed the door with both hands, but, unlike the quiet Ouyang Yunyi, he screamed hysterically.

"Ahh I don't want to! See you again! ”

With a loud bang, dozens of madmen slammed into the gate in desperation, and rushed forward desperately.

In normal circumstances, no matter who it is, I am afraid it will not be able to stop the impact of those crazy people. But this is a desperate situation that can force out all the potential of a person, although Ouyang Yunyi and this mysterious person have not had time to say hello, but they have tacitly used the greatest strength that they have never had in their lives, and pushed the door of the inn back little by little.

So, at the very moment when the crazy people were special, the crack in the door miraculously closed. However, this is not guaranteed to be foolproof.

"Sir! You top it for a while! ”

Ouyang Yunyi shouted, and hurriedly lifted the iron bolt on the ground and buckled it into the groove on the gate. The moment the bolt was secured, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, having time to glance at the person who had entered the door.

"You! How could it be you! ”
