'Squeak!'
The door opposite opened a crack, and a dark figure blocked the gap, seemingly checking for any danger in the hallway.
As they turned to the other side, their eyes met those of Xiao Jin, who was standing there.
The man was surprised that Xiao Jin was standing there waiting for him. After a moment of surprise, he opened the door wide. A white-collar man in a white shirt and black trousers looked at Xiao Jin with delight.
"Xiao Jin, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"
At this point, the man asked in confusion, "Didn't you take sick leave? Why are you here? And you were just down there..."
The man glanced at the long knife in Xiao Jin's hand.
This time, Xiao Jin was stunned. What was going on? The other party knew him. Then Xiao Jin suddenly realized that he must know the Xiao Jin of this world.
From what he said, he works in this office building and was absent because he had taken leave.
Xiao Jin's lips twitched. What a coincidence! Of all these places, she ended up at her own company, and her colleagues even saw her killing the insectoids.
Passing the man in front of her, Xiao Jin looked behind him. In a room that was neither too big nor too small, about a dozen people were crammed together, all looking at Xiao Jin with strange expressions.
Curiosity, surprise, fear, unease, and doubt!
Xiao Jin usually seems so unassuming and low-key. Could he be an undercover agent for a national secret service? Does our company have a foreign corporate spy?
Now that monsters have invaded, he has been conscripted by the nation to fight and kill them.
In just a few minutes, everyone felt as if they had just witnessed a major drama unfold.
What else could Xiao Jin do? She couldn't explain anymore, and she still had to hide her player identity, so she simply said nothing and let them guess.
Anyway, you have no evidence to prove that I am an outsider.
Even if points are deducted in the end, Xiao Jin isn't afraid. There are so many Zerg in this world, how could he not make it back!
Faced with the man's question, Xiao Jinmu replied with a blank face, avoiding the main point: "I'm better now, so I came out to buy things."
“But…” The man was about to say something when Xiao Jin interrupted him.
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest now." After saying that, she slammed the door shut, cutting off all the various gazes from outside.
"Uh... this..." The man scratched his head, looking somewhat dejected.
Regardless of what Xiao Jin does, curiosity aside, with Xiao Jin's involvement, everyone's safety can be guaranteed.
He originally wanted to persuade Xiao Jin to come with them, but before he could even speak, Xiao Jin left.
"Zhang Xingye, you saw it yourself just now. Xiao Jin killed those monsters like cutting vegetables. Who knows who he really is? We'd better stay away from him, just in case he attacks us!"
The woman behind Zhang Xingye was the one who had just advised him not to come out. She tugged at Zhang Xingye's sleeve and glanced fearfully at Xiao Jin's tightly closed door.
"You're too nervous!" Zhang Xingye said softly as he turned his head.
"You've seen Xiao Jin's abilities. I'm not going to stay here forever; my wife is still at home. If we can persuade Xiao Jin to take us home, we won't have to be afraid of those monsters. We'd even be willing to pay him some money!"
The others nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense; in any case, Xiao Jin was someone they absolutely could not afford to offend.
Some people suddenly realized that Xiao Jin had just killed all the monsters outside, which meant that it was safe outside now, so they might as well take this opportunity to go home.
Quite a few people in the office were tempted, but in the blink of an eye, half of the dozen or so were gone. However, some, worried about encountering monsters along the way, chose to stay instead of leaving.
On the other side, Xiao Jin locked the doors and windows from the inside and installed warning devices on the handles, the gaps at the bottom of the doors, and the windows. A bell was hung in mid-air by a thin thread, so that Xiao Jin would wake up immediately if there was any unusual movement.
After completing all this, Xiao Jin turned around and sat down at the desk. With a gentle wave of her hand, several large boxes appeared on the desk.
Steaming hot braised pork ribs, the rich aroma of the sauce intertwines with the satisfying feeling of meat falling off the bone; sour soup with fatty beef, the bright red broth bubbling, tangy and appetizing, whetting the appetite; white rice, pure white and fragrant, each grain distinct; three-delicacy tofu soup, delicate and smooth, colorful; and the golden and tempting corn and shrimp, each one plump and juicy, exuding the sweetness of the ocean.
After a long day of fighting, how could Xiao Jin not treat himself well?
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Xiao Jin smiled with satisfaction. In winter, you have to eat something hot and have a little bit of white wine, but not too much.
Picking up her chopsticks, Xiao Jin first took a piece of braised pork rib, took a gentle bite, and the meat slid smoothly into her mouth, the flavor exploding instantly. Then, the sour and spicy flavor of the sour soup beef tantalized her taste buds, the warmth of the white rice neutralized all the flavors, and the freshness of the three-delicacy tofu soup and the sweetness of the corn and shrimp added a perfect finishing touch to the meal.
After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Jin stood up and walked to the side. She was too lazy to go to the public restroom, as she might run into the group of people across the street if she went out. So she simply wiped herself down inside.
Xiao Jin wasn't used to using other people's things, and since she happened to have the means, she changed all the blankets and other items on the small bed, throwing the old ones onto the small cabinet next to it.
I lay down, closed my eyes, and rested. My first night in the game passed peacefully!
While Xiao Jin was having a good meal, Zhang Xingye and five colleagues who hadn't left were curled up in their chairs and sleeping in the other office. He kept turning over and clutching the small blanket on his body.
The door was blocked by the cabinet, OK, the windows were all tightly closed, the environment was safe.
Fortunately, they usually keep some snacks and blankets in the office, so they don't really have to worry about living conditions for the time being. The female colleague has a lot of useful items in her small desk and drawer. At this point, they can't care about privacy anymore; they can always apologize later.
Dried fruit, snacks, and instant noodles were all gathered together, and there was plenty of food.
In just half a day, the whole world had changed. Zhang Xingye and the others silently processed their inner emotions.
While worrying about the safety of their family and friends, they also hoped that the government would send people to rescue them as soon as possible, their minds filled with all sorts of wild thoughts as they drifted off into a daze until dawn.
The next day.
After getting up, Xiao Jin first checked the security devices she had left behind. Good, they hadn't been damaged. After having a simple breakfast, Xiao Jin did some warm-up exercises in the room.
The small office isn't very big; you can barely do a push-up there.
After regaining consciousness, Xiao Jin wiped the sweat from her body, picked up her knife, and prepared to leave.
Time waits for no one, and there are so many points waiting to be earned, so we can't slack off.
