Watching Wu Ming's departing figure, Qin Bai's lips curled into a smile.
He wouldn't just give out cold weapons casually; Wu Ming was a suitable candidate.
Because the other party is a police officer, although he has not yet been officially employed, his identity is more important than that of others.
Qin Bai had been thinking about how to get some firearms, because cold weapons were sometimes not as useful as firearms.
But how could he possibly get his hands on firearms?
The only thing he could think of was to take advantage of Wu Ming's identity as a police officer.
"I hope you can give me a little surprise, Officer Wu."
Qin Bai slowly closed the door.
He went to the bedroom and was about to continue playing the game when he suddenly saw a sneaky figure on the security camera screen next to him.
This was a rather thin-looking man; even his heavy clothes couldn't hide his physique.
He glanced quietly at Qin Bai's door, then pressed his ear against it, as if listening to what was happening inside.
After listening for a while, he then put his ear to Xia Lulu's door and left.
However, his behavior made Qin Bai frown.
"Are they from the Cannibal Gang? Are they here to scout the situation?"
Nowadays, in residential areas, independent people don't easily leave their homes; only those who exploit others will wander around looking for easy targets.
As for the forces formed by Wu Ming and Lin Zhao, they have only just begun, and their start is much slower than that of the Cannibal Gang.
Qin Bai suddenly remembered something: his house had a combination lock, and Zeng Qiangguo was now his man, so he didn't need to worry.
However, Lu Jie's house still has a mechanical lock. If the Cannibal Gang finds out that there is no one else at Lu Jie's house, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Should we remind Sister Lu now? No, simply reminding her won't do any good."
Those cannibals could easily strike at night when everyone is asleep. At that time, once the door is opened, a group of people can rush in and there would be no way to stop them.
Even Qin Bai was powerless to help in this situation.
"Should we have Sister Lu move heavy objects to block the door?"
He quickly ruled out this approach, finding it impractical.
Sister Lu didn't have much food left, and he pretended to be short of food as well. If he didn't have the right opportunity, he wouldn't know how to give Sister Lu more food.
If we let Sister Lu use something to block the door at this time, it would only waste her already limited energy.
After much thought, Qin Bai could only come up with two solutions.
The first thing he did was strike first and kill Shafie.
Without locksmiths, no matter how skilled those people are, they won't be able to break into other people's homes.
This kind of behavior is tantamount to deliberately courting death.
He stormed into the cannibal gang's lair alone, but even with bows and crossbows and broadswords, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
The second method is simpler: let Sister Lu stay with him for a while, and let her go back after the cannibal gang is dealt with.
However, this meant that with Sister Lu around, he couldn't use many of his things.
Especially the generator; without it, how could he sleep with the heating on at night?
Moreover, Sister Lu is a single mother, and it doesn't seem right for her to live with a single man.
For the first time, Qin Bai showed a conflicted expression. When he killed the adulterous couple, he had been very decisive and showed no mercy whatsoever.
"Dealing with this kind of thing is more troublesome than killing someone."
Qin Bai scratched his head.
After thinking about it, he decided to tell Sister Lu about the situation first.
He went outside and knocked on the door across the street.
Who is it?
"Sister Lu, it's me, Qin Bai."
Hearing Qin Bai's voice outside the door, Xia Lulu opened the door immediately.
"It's not lunchtime yet, do you want to eat now?"
Xia Lulu thought Qin Bai had come to pick up lunch, since Qin Bai would bring some food over every morning for her to prepare.
Sometimes, Qin Bai really missed the taste of Xia Lulu's cooking, after all, the taste of that milk was very different.
He tried many kinds of milk, but none of them tasted the same.
"Sister Lu, this isn't about food. Can I come inside and talk?"
The story of the cannibal gang cannot be explained in just a few words.
Xia Lulu nodded without hesitation.
After closing his own door, Qin Bai went into Xia Lulu's house.
This wasn't his first time visiting Xia Lulu's home. Compared to his rented apartment, Xia Lulu's home was actually quite simple, with no special furniture.
"Little one, do you remember me?"
Qin Bai walked to the crib and teased the baby inside, who was a few months old.
“Eeya eeya…”
The baby smiled at Qin Bai and reached out to grab Qin Bai's finger, but failed.
After teasing him for a while, Qin Bai sat down in a chair, and Xia Lulu poured him a cup of hot water.
Then, Qin Bai recounted the story of the cannibal gang in detail, and Xia Lulu's face showed a look of horror.
She never imagined that such a terrible thing would happen in the neighborhood in such a short time.
Cannibalism!
This kind of thing, which is restricted even in movies, is happening so close to her for the first time.
She even sensed from Qin Bai's words that the other party seemed to have sent people to stake out her house, and they had already appeared at her doorstep.
"What should I do now? Block the door with a cabinet?"
Xia Lulu panicked a little.
"Sister Lu, don't worry. The layout of your house is different from mine. The space in the entryway is relatively small, so we can use a cabinet to block it. However, this will make it more troublesome if you want to get out."
A small entryway means you can block it with something, since there's a wall behind it.
Like the apartment Qin Bai rented, the living room is right behind the entrance hall, with no place to block the view.
Hearing Qin Bai's words, Xia Lulu glanced at herself again before feeling relieved.
"Then I'll block it with a cabinet and put a glass on top. If someone opens the door, I'll still be able to hear it."
Qin Bai nodded in satisfaction: "Sister Lu, your idea is very good. If anyone dares to come in, you must make a sound and wake me up."
"But won't that implicate you?"
Xia Lulu hesitated.
Qin Bai smiled and said, "Don't forget, I still have a crossbow. I don't need to worry about facing a lot of people."
Hearing this, Xia Lulu finally agreed.
Before Qin Bai left, Xia Lulu hurriedly told him to wait a moment. She ran into the kitchen and soon came out with a bowl of milk.
"Your lunch isn't ready yet, so use this for now. I'll make the rest for you later."
