The door opened a crack, revealing half of the woman's face. She gripped the doorknob, and nervously and cautiously asked a question.
"Are you doing manicures? Are you really willing to pay anything?"
She had been secretly watching what was happening outside, and hadn't originally planned to open the door. After all, she couldn't believe that someone would come to get their nails done in this situation...
Anyway, she couldn't believe it and thought it was some kind of scam.
But seeing the skill that man displayed, she knew these people were not simple, and if they really wanted to harm her, she would have no way to resist.
She wanted to take a gamble, since hiding here all the time wasn't a solution.
Li Xin'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around, her tone excited.
Yes, what do you want?
She had been thinking about getting her nails done for a while, and now that she's seen the nail salon, she'll feel really bad if she doesn't get her nails done today.
The woman pursed her lips and asked tentatively.
"Can you take me to my apartment building?"
Then he quickly added:
“My home is near Huating. There are monsters on the road, and I’m scared to be alone.”
She worked overtime the night before last and rested at the store. When she woke up yesterday, she couldn't get through on the phone, there was no one outside, and the doomsday countdown was gone, which made her very panicked.
She had locked the shop and was about to walk back when, after walking two blocks, she saw the horrific scene outside. She saw two people on the street, pinning another person down and biting them; blood was everywhere…
She was terrified and ran back into the shop to hide, her head buzzing.
She was too afraid to go out, but thankfully the store had some snacks to tide her over. The waiting was agonizing; she was also worried about home…
Li Xin'er didn't agree immediately; she turned to ask Li Yiyuan.
Do you know where Huating is? Is it far?
Li Yiyuan had been abroad for many years and only knew the general location; he was really unfamiliar with this particular neighborhood.
"have no idea."
The woman, as if grasping at a last straw, spoke with even greater urgency:
"It's not far, just over there near the primary school."
Li Yiyuan thought about it carefully.
"I know a little place, it's not far, just a few minutes' drive."
Li Xin'er thought it was a great deal; it was just a short trip on their way.
"Okay, we'll drop you off at the entrance of your apartment complex, and you can do my nails, how about that?"
"Okay, okay, come in."
Fearing that Li Xin'er might change her mind, the woman quickly opened the door completely and drew back the curtains.
This revealed the woman's full appearance; she was around thirty years old, wearing a long, off-white down jacket and black high-top boots.
