Hearing the girl say that, the other survivors felt even more confident and completely ignored the rescue team's words, pushing open the door and entering the small house.
"It smells so good, I can smell food."
"Wow, this house is huge! It must be at least two or three hundred square meters, and it even has a second floor!"
"Woof woof, woof woof woof!"
Mantou, who had been sleeping in the back, rushed out aggressively upon hearing the noise, barking at the uninvited guests. This startled a student who was about to enter. After seeing Mantou's appearance, the student frowned and cursed unhappily.
"Go away, go away, you dog, how dare you scare me!" Without saying another word, he kicked the steamed bun.
"Awooo, awooo." The kick seemed to have hit something, and Mantou took a few steps back weakly, shrank back, glared fiercely at the intruders, and turned to run towards the door of Su Luo's room.
"Hehe, Xiao Yu, you're really pathetic, getting scared like this by a dog."
"Hey guys, come quick! There's lots of good food here!"
As they were talking, someone had already followed the scent and found the warehouse of strange items. As soon as they entered the warehouse, they were 'terrified' by the contents.
"Oh my god, so much food, and it's still warm!"
"Twilight, come quick! You can even take a bath here!"
Unlike the students, the search and rescue team members immediately overturned their assumptions upon entering the cabin.
This little house has an owner; people live there!
"Wait, don't eat yet!"
Although it is the end of the world, as soldiers of the country, they are protecting their own people. How could they break into people's homes to rob and eat?
"Mind your own business! This stuff is made to be eaten, isn't it a waste to leave it here?" The girl named Mumu didn't think she was wrong at all, and was even the first to pick up her chopsticks and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs on her plate.
"If all else fails, I'll just have Dad give the money to the owner of the house. It's no big deal." Mu Mu rolled her eyes at the search and rescue team members, thinking to herself that these people were really blind. Given her status, they should have driven over to pick her up anyway. Making her walk and go hungry, and they still had the nerve to do it?!
Looking at the table full of food, although they also had supplies, the apocalypse had brought a large number of refugees, and the little supplies they had stockpiled needed to be considered for the long term. Most of them were compressed biscuits or dry food. It was the first time they had seen such a sumptuous meal in several days.
"Captain, why don't we go too..."
"No," Lin Shuyu said sternly. "Don't forget our identities and our responsibilities."
After saying that, Lin Shuyu glanced at the youngest member of her team and handed him the only quick-heating meal that was supposed to be given to the team leader from her backpack.
"Eat it. You're still growing, this is more suitable for you."
Seeing that the captain had given her all his best-kept secrets, Zhang Miaomiao waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't accept it, I'm not hungry, Captain."
"Just eat it, don't waste the captain's good intentions." Wu Rensheng, who was the first to spot the light in the cabin, patted Zhang Miaomiao on the shoulder and stuffed the hot food into his arms. "There's a water dispenser outside, go get it yourself."
After watching Zhang Miaomiao leave, Lin Shuyu instructed his men to be on high alert everywhere. Although the place seemed safe, they could not rule out the possibility of something unexpected happening.
...
"Ah, that feels so good!"
Zhao Cai hummed a little tune as he soaked in the bathtub. He hadn't had such a comfortable bath in years; his body was rusty. If a gourmet were here, they would surely marvel at how Zhao Cai's skin had been transformed after just one bath. The entire box, once a green, blood-stained, rusty iron, had turned a bright red, like a brand-new product straight from a smelter.
Just as Zhao Cai was thinking of closing his eyes to rest, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the dormitory. He complained that the food critic was making too much noise, but as he listened, he noticed that there seemed to be quite a lot of people coming and going.
Suddenly opening the dormitory door, I was confronted by... a stranger?!
After exchanging glances, a gasp pierced through the small house. Hearing the sound, Lin Shuyu immediately led her people to the scene. Her gaze shifted and met Zhao Cai's.
"This, this is a one-star? No, a two-star monster?!"
"Could this be a two-star monster instance?" Wu Rensheng guessed seriously. Meeting Captain Lin Shuyu's gaze, he immediately led his men to retreat!
Only then did Zhao Cai realize that a thief had broken into his house!
"Wait, don't go!"
Taking full advantage of his long arms and legs, Zhao Cai used both hands and feet to bypass the search and rescue team and lock the front door of the hut.
"You think you can just take my sister's things and leave? No way!"
The main entrance was blocked by a lucky charm, and blood-red vines surged out of the box, encircling the intruders.
"Captain? Should we charge?"
Two-star monsters are more intelligent and possess more unique abilities than ordinary wild monsters. If we were to encounter one head-on now, we probably wouldn't stand a chance.
but……
"You just said this belongs to your sister?"
"Yes, everything in this room belongs to my sister. If you know what's good for you, put it down right away. My sister might be merciful and spare you..."
'Bang!'
A gunshot rang out, hitting the box squarely, but it only caused a minor scratch, not fatal, but it was enough to thoroughly enrage Zhao Cai.
"Fine, fine, you're using this feint to try and pull this stunt on me, aren't you!"
"Then you'll all go to hell!"
With a gurgling sound, foul-smelling blood gushed out of the box, instantly transforming into tens of thousands of blood-stained vines upon hitting the ground. These vines shot out simultaneously, stabbing towards Lin Shuyu and her group.
At the same time, the door to Su Luo's room opened, and Su Luo, dressed in casual home clothes, carrying a cup of hand-ground coffee and holding the injured Mantou in one hand, slowly walked past the group of people and sat down on the sofa in the center.
