Shen Qing moved all the ruins blocking the door to the entrance of the courtyard and used them as obstacles to block the door.
She temporarily put the body into the space, found a remote place far away from the house, and threw the body out.
Under such high temperatures, these corpses will soon turn into charcoal.
After returning to the refuge, Shen Qing went straight to the second floor without cleaning up the blood stains on the ground.
After calming down for a while, the faces of the four people upstairs became much rosier and they seemed to have calmed down.
Watching Shen Qing go upstairs, he nodded lightly and said hello.
"feel better now?"
Shen Qing sat in front of Tao Ying and asked with concern.
Tao Ying nodded with difficulty.
"Then let's get something to eat?"
Except for Shen Qing, they all expressed that they had no appetite.
After all, I had just seen so many stumps and brains, and now I couldn't eat anything.
Shen Qing understood how they felt now, so he went down to the first floor and took out the self-heating hotpot from the space.
She had just experienced a big battle, and now she urgently needed something to eat to replenish her strength.
There's no one around for miles now, so it's a good time to eat hot pot, snail noodles and other heavy-flavored food.
Shen Qing tore open the package of the self-heating hot pot, then took a small handful of green vegetables from the space and cooked it.
Ten minutes later, the spicy smell of hot pot wafted out all the way to the second floor.
A few people who had just lost their appetite swallowed their saliva after smelling the smell of red oil chili in the air.
Several people looked at each other awkwardly.
I just said I had no appetite, and now I want to eat...isn’t it a bit of a slap in the face?
Shen Zhian swallowed his saliva and ran to Shen Qing's side shamelessly.
"Sister, you didn't say you were going to eat hotpot today, but I suddenly have an appetite! My appetite has increased greatly!"
Shen Qing smiled fondly, looked at the stairs, made sure Zhao Xi was not there, and took out four boxes of self-heating hot pot.
"Let's go upstairs."
"Sister is the best!"
With the help of the self-heating hotpot, my brain stumps suddenly stopped feeling nauseated.
After eating and drinking, the sun outside has not yet set.
Having spent a lot of energy fighting just now, several people lay on the floor and fell asleep quickly.
It gets dark.
Zhao Xi woke up first.
She was about to wake up her companions when she heard rustling footsteps outside the door.
The string in her mind suddenly tightened.
Is there someone outside the door?
The courtyard door has been blocked, how did this person get in?
squeak.
The door on the second floor seemed to have been scratched by something.
Is that person going to break in?
Zhao Xi's heart was in his throat.
She wanted to wake up the companion next to her, but she was afraid that the sound would disturb the people outside the door and make them make any threatening actions.
She touched the gun at her waist and climbed up quietly.
The sounds outside the door came and went, and Zhao Xi could not judge the other party's intentions.
She moved slowly to the door, the sound getting closer and closer.
Zhao Xi slowly moved closer to the cat's eye, his heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out.
What will happen after the cat's eye...
The fear of the unknown enveloped her.
She leaned closer to the cat's eye and looked out in the dim light.
Outside the door was an empty staircase with no one around.
What's going on...has that person left already?
Just when she was confused, the sharp sound of nails scratching the door sounded again.
At this moment, Zhao Xi's scalp was numb.
In an instant, all the horror stories I had heard were played out in my mind.
Squeak!
The voice became shriller.
The thing outside the door couldn't open the door, as if it was getting anxious.
Zhao Xi was so frightened that he took two steps back.
Just when she almost fell, she fell into a strong embrace.
"Be careful." Shen Zhian lowered his voice and whispered in her ear.
Zhao Xi stood firm and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear it too?"
Shen Zhian nodded.
Shen Jie was a heavy sleeper, and this small sound could not wake him up at all.
Tao Ying was frightened during the day and was sleeping deeply now.
And Shen Qing spent too much energy during the day and was not woken up.
They were the only two people who heard the sound.
"What should I do? Do you want to wake up Sister Shen Qing?" With his companion by his side, the fear in Zhao Xi's heart dissipated a lot.
Shen Zhian was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's rare to see my sister sleeping so peacefully... Don't worry. If there is someone outside the door... the two of us should be able to handle it."
Zhao Xi whispered: "What if...I mean what if, the person outside the door is not a person?"
what to do?
Shen Zhian is a materialist.
What Ah Piao... He never believed in their existence.
"Don't be nervous, it sounds like the claws of an animal...like a cat or dog."
"Really?" Zhao Xi felt more at ease.
But in this environment, can cats and dogs still survive?
"Don't panic, I'll go take a look."
"Don't open the door!" Zhao Xi grabbed him nervously.
Even if it is a cat or dog, it is very likely that it will be a hungry cat or dog.
What if I put it in now... and hurt someone?
After all, cats and dogs can move faster than they can aim.
"Don't worry, I won't open the door. I'll find a way around it."
Shen Zhian quickly walked to the window, opened it, then climbed up the window and stepped on the frame of the window to move to the stairs little by little.
Zhao Xi watched nervously.
It was too risky for him to do this.
If you don't hold it firmly and your feet slip, you will fall.
Seeing Shen Zhian successfully climb into the stairs at the corner, Zhao Xi couldn't hold back his anger.
She quickly climbed up to the window and followed Shen Zhian's route.
"Why are you here?" Shen Zhian was a little surprised.
Zhao Xi whispered: "I'm also curious about what is behind the door...and I don't trust you alone."
"ha?"
"If something happens to you, I have no way to explain it to Sister Shen Qing." Zhao Xi emphasized: "That's all."
Perhaps the empty corridor amplified the voices of the two of them, and the scratching at the door upstairs stopped abruptly.
The two of them immediately became alert.
After looking at each other, they climbed up the stairs one after the other.
The closer he got, the more nervous Zhao Xi became.
She clenched the gun in her hand and stared straight ahead.
"You can see that thing after you turn the corner. Be careful." Shen Zhian said close to her ear.
Zhao Xi nodded heavily.
Shen Zhian held a pistol, stepped in front of the living room door, and then exclaimed.
"This! What is this!"
After Zhao Xi saw the creature behind the door clearly, he also took a breath of cold air.
"This... looks like a squirrel..."
"Squirrel? Don't bully me. I've never seen a squirrel. How could a squirrel be so big?"
It was difficult for Zhao Xi to explain everything in front of him.
The creature behind the door scratching its paws is indeed a squirrel.
It's just that the common squirrel is as big as a girl's arm, but the squirrel in front of me is already close to the size of a small dog.
Another point is that this squirrel is not the usual gray color, but has black hair mixed with gold, and its big eyes protrude from the eye sockets, which looks particularly weird.
After seeing the two people, the squirrel stopped scratching the door.
It turned around and tilted its head towards the two of them.
"It...what does this mean?" Shen Zhian swallowed.
The thing in front of me doesn't look like a squirrel, but it looks a bit like a human.
Zhao Xi shook her head nervously. She had never seen such a strange squirrel.
The squirrel paused for several seconds, as if thinking.
Suddenly, it took a tentative step towards the two of them, scaring them so much that they subconsciously took a step back.
"Be careful! I feel something is wrong with this squirrel!" Shen Zhian reminded.
Seeing that they were afraid, the squirrel moved closer to the two of them.
Just when the two were at a loss, it suddenly showed its fangs and rushed towards Zhao Xi behind Shen Zhian.
Zhao Xi was so frightened that he pulled the trigger.
The squirrel nimbly dodged the bullet and pounced directly on Zhao Xi's face.
Zhao Xi retreated continuously, and when he was forced into a corner by the squirrel, Shen Zhian kicked the squirrel away.
The squirrel fell hard and screamed sadly.
Before the two of them could figure out the situation, the squirrel had already attacked Zhao Xi again.
Zhao Xi put the pistol back on his waist and ran quickly downstairs.
The squirrel followed closely and jumped down the stairs to the bottom.
Zhao Xi picked up the bench and threw it at it.
But this little thing is so flexible that it can dodge even a few hits.
Shen Zhian also chased downstairs.
Because Zhao Xi was too close to the squirrel, he did not dare to shoot easily, so he had to take out the electric baton Shen Qing had given him before.
Zhao Xi smashed it for a while and was out of breath.
The squirrel spotted the gap between her breathing and rushed towards Zhao Xi, grabbing Zhao Xi's trouser leg.
Just when it was about to bite, Shen Zhian quickly swung the electric baton.
Although he missed, the squirrel temporarily let go of Zhao Xi's leg in order to avoid the attack.
"It's really strange. Why is this squirrel only targeting you? It seems to be attacking you all the time." Shen Zhi'an stood in front of Zhao Xi and stared at the squirrel closely.
Zhao Xi gasped for air and said: "Don't you think this squirrel is a little too smart? I guess the reason why it attacked me is because in its eyes I am weaker than you."
Shen Zhian's eyes widened in surprise.
Is this gadget so scheming?
But if you think about it carefully... what Zhao Xi said makes sense.
When this squirrel doesn't move, it looks like a person is thinking.
Although it is several times larger than a normal squirrel, its movements still retain the speed of a squirrel...it is really difficult to deal with.
"In short, we both have to be careful." Zhao Xi said: "It is not easy for animals to survive in such a harsh environment. There may be some viruses on them... If they are bitten, the consequences will be disastrous."
As soon as he finished speaking, the squirrel immediately rushed towards Zhao Xi's direction.
Fortunately, Zhao Xi stared at it closely and escaped the disaster.
But as soon as she dodged, she realized that the squirrel's target this time didn't seem to be her.
Looking at Shen Zhi'an who was undefended behind him, Zhao Xi shouted anxiously, "Get away! Its target is you!"
When Shen Zhian turned around, the squirrel had jumped up and rushed towards his face.
It’s over!
It’s so hard to avoid now!
Just when Shen Zhian thought there was no way to save his life, the squirrel was hit by something unknown and fell to the ground with a thump.
"Why didn't you wake me up? Do you know how dangerous it is?" Shen Qing asked angrily at the stairs, holding a slingshot in his hand.
