Chapter 74 The Storm is Coming

"The storm is coming!"

Qin Xingyue, who saw all this at home, silently put down her telescope, turned back to the living room, thought for a while, walked to the door, and activated the sensor alarm device installed at the door.

From now on, whenever someone touches her door and tries to force their way in, an alarm will sound immediately in the house. This way, she doesn't have to worry about someone breaking into the house without her knowing it one day if she falls asleep.

She had installed this thing before, but the situation was far from this serious, so she felt it was unnecessary and did not activate it.

But from now on, I’m afraid I won’t have peace!

Looking at the time, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, so she returned to bed for a nap.

However, earth-shaking changes have already taken place in the community.

Sister Lin died and her body was thrown in the snow. The white down jacket she was wearing was now tattered and full of holes, and it was soaked with blood and the original color could not be seen.

Her face was full of pain, her eyes were wide open, and her body was torn and lying in the blood.

Her house was also rushed into by a group of people and all the food was stolen. The son and daughter in the house tried their best to stop them, but it was of no avail.

There were more than ten people who robbed her house, but the others still had some conscience and did not participate.

Not long after, those people left with their looted things, satisfied, while Sister Lin's two children sat on the ground with their clothes in disarray, their expressions dull and lifeless.

A high school girl had tears on her face and murmured, "Why, why did it become like this!"

Everything was fine just now, and their family had a good relationship with other people in the community, but why did it become like this now?

All the food in the house has been stolen. What should I do next?

"Sister, don't cry. The ground is cold. These beasts will get their retribution sooner or later!" The fifteen-year-old boy on the ground stood up and went to help the girl who was two years older than him.

His face was covered with wounds, from being beaten by the gang when he tried to stop them.

The hatred in his eyes was so strong, but when he saw his sister like this, he still comforted her: "Look, this is what I just snatched back!"

He unzipped his clothes, revealing a small bag of rice and a few pieces of bread.

The girl's expression changed then. She stood up and looked at the messy house. She ran to her room quickly as if she had thought of something. She moved the bed away and saw some snacks and dry food sticking out of it. She then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these were not discovered by anyone.

She wiped the tears from her eyes, looked at her brother who had caught up with her, and said, "These are the only things left at home. We must hide them well from now on!"

The boy nodded, knowing that his family of three would have to rely on these things to survive for the time being.

"Aren't these people supposed to go collect supplies? Why haven't they gone yet? They suddenly went crazy and robbed our house. Mom, why did they come back but mom hasn't come back yet!" Lin Ye frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

"Something must have happened. I'll go out and take a look. You stay home and lock the door. Don't open it no matter who knocks!" Lin Yanyan instructed her brother.

My mother is in charge of property management, and people often come to visit her, so when someone knocked on the door just now, they opened it without thinking too much, and then the tragedy just now happened.

From now on, they will never open the door to anyone again.

"I'll go with you. When mom comes back, we'll settle accounts with those people. We must make them pay back!"

Lin Ye followed his sister, and the two of them talked as they locked the door and walked out.

The Lin family lived in Building B of the community. When they left the house, the others had already dispersed, and only a few scattered people were left in the vast snow.

Seeing the brother and sister, those people looked at them with complicated eyes and a hint of sympathy.

"Uncle Li, have you seen my mother? Aren't you supposed to go get the supplies?"

The two siblings saw an acquaintance who lived upstairs from them and hurried over to ask.

Uncle Li saw the wounds on their bodies and sighed, "Poor kids, those beasts really have the guts to do that to them!"

He had a good relationship with Sister Lin, and he knew that those people were going to rob the Lin family.

But he didn't go. After all, they had a good relationship and he couldn't do such a thing.

He wanted to stop those people, but they looked so angry that he didn't dare to say anything at that time, for fear that he would meddle in other people's business and anger those people, which would then implicate his family.

In the end, I could only remain silent, hoping that the two children would be smarter and close the door immediately if they saw something was wrong, and not let anyone in.

But now seeing the looks of the brother and sister, he knew that those people had succeeded!

"Uncle Li, a group of people just broke into our house and stole all our food. What happened? Where is my mother?"

Seeing him like this, Lin Yanyan guessed that he knew something, but the most urgent task now was to find her mother.

After hearing their words, Uncle Li was a little hesitant and couldn't say anything. After all, he saw the tragedy happen with his own eyes, but did not do anything to stop it.

Seeing him like this, the two siblings became anxious and began to urge him. At this time, someone next to Uncle Li reminded them: "What's the big deal? Just tell them. After all, this has nothing to do with you!"

After that, he pointed to a place not far away and said to the two siblings: "Your mother is over there, so pitiful, she was stabbed dozens of times, alas——"

As he said this, he sighed, strode away, and his back looked a little depressed.

He had a mental breakdown before, but now he has regained his sanity, but life has to go on. What to do in the future is also a big problem.

There is no more food to be collected, and I don’t know how long his family can last with what they have.

If I had known this earlier, I would have followed those people to the Lin family so that I could have taken something away.

Thinking of this, he looked back at the two people running to the other side and shook his head.

At that time, he didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he didn't dare, or maybe he was still hindered by his conscience. But now, it's too late to say anything.

"Mother!"

Lin Yanyan and Lin Ye ran over, saw the person lying on the ground, and saw clearly that the face was their mother.

"Mom, don't scare me, don't scare me, Mom!" Lin Yanyan cried and hugged Sister Lin in her arms. The body in her arms was already cold, and even the blood that flowed out had already coagulated.

But she didn't care about the mess and wiped the blood off Sister Lin's face with one hand. When that face was revealed, the last bit of hope in the siblings' hearts was gone.

"How could this happen? How could this happen!"

Lin Yan cried, tears falling continuously. Her mother was fine a few hours ago. Before leaving home, she told her to cook more noodles in the evening so that the three of them could have a good meal.
