"What wild beast?"
Judging from the sound, the beast was quite large. However, Qin Su did not recall hearing such a roar.
"Who knows what kind of beast it was? After the apocalypse, the animals around us went crazy, driving humans to the point where they couldn't survive."
Fortunately, the city lord appeared then and helped us repel those crazed animals. We thought things would finally calm down, but those animals hybridized and became even more ferocious. They attack us every now and then…”
Inside, it was pitch black everywhere, and even the windows were boarded up.
“If the windows aren’t sealed, the monster will find us.”
The boss explained, then squatted in the corner, trembling.
"Quickly crouch down and stop talking, so as not to alert the monster."
Qin Su: ……
So this is what he meant by security?
Just then, voices came from outside.
"The monster charged forward, let's quickly surround it and attack together."
It seems the guards from the west city have been mobilized.
Although she couldn't see what was happening outside, Qin Su could tell from the guards' voices that the safety of the western city was quite reliable.
Bang!
"Oh no, that monster has seen through our plan."
A cry of pain, the sound of hurried footsteps, and an angry roar followed.
The ground trembled continuously, and the boss was so frightened that he turned completely pale.
"Oh no, I'm doomed this time."
Qin Su: ……
Suddenly, a heat wave swept in, and the wooden planks outside the window were instantly consumed by fire.
Huo Sijin got up and pulled Qin Su and her fifth uncle to a safe location.
"Quick, rush to the basement."
The boss quickly fiddled with his broken leg and rushed forward without looking back.
Huo Sijin pushed Qin Su and her fifth uncle into the basement, and then went outside herself.
"Little sister, is your boyfriend very skilled in martial arts?"
The boss watched Huo Sijin leave with a worried look on his face.
"not bad."
Qin Su certainly trusted Huo Sijin; as an interstellar being, he was no match for most things.
"Then he should be fine, that's good, otherwise I'd be in big trouble."
Haha, I see, he's worried about losing money.
However, losing money in the apocalypse shows they still have some conscience.
Outside, the sounds of bombing continued, and waves of heat made it feel suffocating even in the basement.
"What kind of monster is this? How can it breathe so much fire?"
My fifth uncle, a researcher, had never seen such a monster before.
"That's right, that monster is even more powerful than a machine. If you don't kill it, it will keep attacking without getting tired."
"You don't know, at first we thought that with more people we could wipe out these monsters. But these monsters are not only powerful, they're also very good at running away. If they sense something's wrong, they can escape in an instant..."
"To be honest, in the apocalypse, West City is already quite good. If it weren't for the monsters, I don't think there would be a better place than West City. Our city lord is an incredibly capable person; he is not only brave and powerful but also a very good administrator..."
The boss spoke of the city lord with great respect.
"What is your city lord's name?"
The boss slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory, I completely forgot to mention the city lord's name."
"Our city lord is Liu Gan. He is the one who led our entire western city to a new life."
"Liu Gan?"
Fifth Uncle's eyes widened, and he quickly took out Second Uncle's photo from his pocket.
"Is it him?"
"Yes, that's him."
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them again: "You two aren't friends of the city lord, are you?"
Qin Su nodded: "We are his family, and we came to find him."
"Oh dear, why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known you were relatives of the city lord, I definitely wouldn't have accepted your grain."
"Oh, right, you want to see the city lord, right? After the monster leaves, the city lord will definitely come out to appease them, and then you'll be able to see him."
Hearing that they were relatives of the city lord, the boss became even more enthusiastic towards them.
"Here, have something to eat."
The owner handed me a few candies; clearly, these were delicacies he had been saving for a long time.
Qin Su didn't stand on ceremony. She needed to replenish her energy, and since their things were outside, and she didn't want to take things from her spatial storage in front of others, she ate the owner's food first. She could return it to the owner after they left the basement.
The monster's roar lasted for a full two hours.
"My god, the monster must have gotten stronger again. It hasn't taken this long since the monsters were killed before."
The boss sighed, then quietly peeked out from the basement to check. Only after confirming that there was no more movement did he lead the two people out of the basement.
The house looked like it had been burned by a fire; it was completely blackened, and the interior was utterly destroyed. The owner was so heartbroken that he slapped his thigh and wailed.
"Oh dear, this monster is so hateful."
The streets were littered with signs of destruction, and a large number of the surrounding houses had been crushed.
"Hehe, looks like I'm not the most unlucky one after all, at least I still have the house."
The boss was secretly pleased with himself.
Qin Su was a little worried when she didn't see Huo Sijin.
"I hope something happened to that kid."
Although Fifth Uncle disliked Huo Sijin, he couldn't help but worry at this moment.
"Let's go look for it."
Qin Su didn't think Huo Sijin would get into trouble, but she was worried that he might run into some kind of trouble.
After walking along the street for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs ahead.
"Attention everyone, attention everyone! Although the monster has been driven away, it has mutated to be even more terrifying. In the days to come, everyone must be careful. Every household should prepare their basements to protect their lives."
"My God, so many houses have been destroyed, and that monster is still alive."
The boss was terrified, but he still accompanied her to find Huo Sijin.
Fifth Uncle didn't move; his gaze was fixed on the person on the stage, and his eyes gradually became moist.
Qin Su followed his gaze and saw her second uncle, Liu Gan.
At that moment, Liu Gan was comforting the injured when he sensed unusual gazes and looked up to see his fifth uncle and Qin Su.
He opened his mouth, his facial muscles twitched several times, then he took a step and walked towards this side step by step. After a few steps, he started running.
"Fifth Brother, Su Su, what brings you to Xicheng?"
Fifth Uncle's eyes reddened, and he glared at him angrily.
"Then why are you in Xicheng? Didn't you say you were going back to Wancheng together? I've been waiting for you in Wancheng for over a month, and you haven't come over."
The second uncle sighed: "At that time, the third brother and I were indeed heading to Wancheng, but something happened on the way, so we had to escape here."
Oh, right, the third brother is in Dongjiang. He'll definitely be here after this monster attack; we'll see him soon.
Although he downplayed it, Qin Su still caught the pain that flashed in his eyes when he talked about the accident.
However, now was not the time to talk, so Qin Su did not ask.
Fifth Uncle also knew that Second Uncle was busy at the moment, so he suppressed his doubts.
"Take care of things first. If you need any help, just let us know."
