Chapter 719 Neighbors

After knocking on the door several times, there was still no movement in room 601.

It was 602 who opened the door first: "What are you doing? Are you done yet?!"

Annan turned around and saw a bearded man with an impatient look on his face.

The eldest brother looked at Annan's face, was stunned for a moment, and then muttered: "Are they not the same two people as before?"

Annan knew that he was probably talking about the two clerks she met yesterday.

So I ignored him and continued knocking on the door.

This time, she called out, "Tang Qiyun, it's me, open the door."

There was still no sound from inside.

The man with the beard had not left yet. Seeing them knocking on the door persistently, he could not help but interrupt and said:

"Stop knocking. Two people knocked on the door two days in a row, but there was no response. I think the person is dead."

Annan turned his head and gave him an unpleasant look.

The man felt Annan's cold gaze and shrank his neck unconsciously. Then he seemed to feel a little embarrassed and shouted:

"That's right! People die every day in the apocalypse. Not to mention that 601 is weird to begin with. More than ten owners have died..."

Annan thought for a moment and asked him, "When was the last time you saw the person living next door?"

The eldest brother replied without hesitation: "Never seen it before."

Annan was a little surprised: "Never seen it before?"

The man nodded. "The world is not like it used to be. Neighbors treated each other as friends. Now, neighbors avoid each other and try to avoid running into each other at off-peak times, for fear of being spotted and having their doors pried open."

The eldest brother pointed to the door of Room 601 and said, "Besides, this family is very low-key and rarely goes out. If it weren't for the occasional noise, I wouldn't have known that someone was living inside."

Annan continued to ask: "What sound was made?"

The bearded man originally had little patience and his purpose in opening the door was to curse people, but he hadn't seen a beauty as plump and healthy as Annan for a long time, so he was willing to say a few more words.

Of course, it was mainly because the man next to her looked ferocious, with his hands in his pockets, as if he would pull out a weapon and kill him in the next second if he didn't cooperate.

The man closed the door a little, then answered:

"They were all strange noises, like banging against the wall, cracking whips, and groaning. It sounded like a woman was being tortured."

"Oh, yes, occasionally you can hear a few strong barkings from dogs."

The dog's barking annoyed him. Although he had plenty of supplies at home, including protein, they were all expired canned food, dried snake meat, etc. He hadn't eaten fresh meat for a long time.

If it is made into dog meat stew, it would be wonderful to drink a pot of it in such cold weather!

But he did not dare to act rashly.

As the only residential building of 100 square meters in Manji Base, most of the most powerful people in Linbei City are basically in this building. They are polite to each other and do not offend each other.

After so many years in the apocalypse, who can still keep a dog? What dog can still be alive and well?

There is only one answer: humans are powerful, and dogs are also powerful.

Not to mention what the person is like, the dog might be a Tibetan mastiff, a Rottweiler or something like that.

Although he was greedy, he was living a good life now, so he valued his life. He was not hungry, so there was no need to risk his life for the sake of his appetite.

So I never provoked the other party.

An Nan knew he was not lying. Tang Qiyun had said before that she had been trying to have an abortion, and those noises must have been made by her in an attempt to have a miscarriage.

Then he asked, "When was the last time you heard anything going on inside?"

The man thought for a moment: "It seems to be three months ago..."

An Nan and Gu Zhiyu looked at each other. Three months ago, wasn't that the time they met Tang Qiyun?

The man slapped his head and said, "Oh, that was the cry of a baby three months ago! I heard a baby crying!"

He smacked his lips and said, "At first I thought I was hallucinating. In this world, how can a baby be born alive?"

"But I heard it a few more times afterwards and was sure it was the baby crying. But after a while there was no more sound."

As he spoke, he guessed:

"I guess they were a couple with a dog. The man abused the woman from time to time, and after they gave birth to a baby, the whole family died..."

"Maybe the woman died giving birth, and the baby couldn't be raised, so the man couldn't bear the pain of losing his child, so he committed suicide. As for the dog...it must have died for its master!"

Seeing that he looked confident and his words were getting more and more outrageous, Annan said no more, turned around and knocked on the door twice more.

The man next to her thought she didn't believe it, so he continued, "Don't disbelieve me. I'm telling you, this 601 is very evil, anything can happen..."

At this moment, footsteps were heard downstairs. Soon, another person came to the sixth floor.

"Hey! It's you!"

Annan looked and saw that it was the female clerk from yesterday.

She actually did it again.

The male colleague who was with her did as he said and did not come with her.

Annan nodded to her in response to her greeting.

The woman was quite enthusiastic: "Are you here to look for the residents of Room 601 as well?"

Annan just said "hmm" and didn't explain further.

The woman leaned forward and asked, "Still no one opened the door?"

Before Annan could say anything, the neighbor next to him spoke first:

"No one, really no one! These two have been knocking for quite a while."

He curled his lips and said, "This beautiful clerk, if I were you, please don't come here again. No one has responded for three consecutive days. The person inside must have died again."

He always comes to disturb others, which is really annoying for him as a neighbor.

The female clerk sighed and said, "It seems that he is really gone. I specially picked different times to come over the past three days, but all of them were in vain."

She got up early today on purpose, thinking that if the person was still there, it was impossible for him to go out so early in the morning, right?

Still no one was there.

So he walked up to the door, knocked a few times, then turned and left.

Annan didn't stay any longer and went downstairs and went home with Gu Zhiyu.

Back at Room 501, Annan touched Fugui's head and let it smell it to see if the scent of Zhuifeng and Tang Qiyun was still there.

Fugui sniffed it carefully and nodded, "It smells good."

He quickly added, "But it was very faint, it should be just the remaining breath, the person is definitely not here now."

Annan nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the time, and flashed into the space with Gu Zhiyu and the three little ones.

Since Xiao Tang is not here, let's talk about it later. Now let's test the upgrade effect of the space.

Everything in the manor remains the same as before, probably only the time quota has been upgraded.
