Time gradually came to evening.
Night is the most dangerous time in Black City.
Xu Da, holding a telescope in his hand, showed a heavy look on his face.
"What a difficult monster. He has been guarding outside for a whole day. Damn it, if he doesn't leave, there's no way to get the supplies outside."
You can't eat every day in the building.
At most, we had one meal a day. There was no meat, only flour, some of which was even rotten, but we had to eat it. It was better than starving to death.
Louis on the side looked around.
This was naturally not the previous meeting room, but Xu Da and Xu Tong's room.
Well, this place is neither big nor small, and the facilities are extremely old, with black cement floors, large white walls, and a few old sofas.
There was also a color TV with no signal.
There is a photo frame next to it, which contains a photo of a family of five.
It should be Xu Da, Xu Da's wife, his son and daughter-in-law, and Xu Tong.
As for the rest of the people in the photo, Louis had not seen them in the meeting room before.
"At night, Black City is the most dangerous time. Even if the monsters leave, we cannot go out to get supplies." Xu Da sighed, with a trace of regret on his face.
But he quickly cheered up: "But fortunately, supplies are useless to monsters. They won't damage them intentionally."
"If one day doesn't work, then two days. Anyway, one day the monster will leave when it can't see anyone anymore." Xu Da patted Louis on the shoulder. "Young man, you have taken such good care of yourself. I'm afraid you were well protected by your family before, but it's different here. Intrigues and deceptions are the norm. Be careful of Cheng Tao. Although this man has some wisdom, it's not much. What makes people most afraid is the madness in his heart. I'm afraid..."
"Grandpa!! It seems like someone is coming out!" Xu Tong's eyes trembled and he pointed at the window and shouted.
"What?!" Xu Da's pupils suddenly shrank and a trace of fear appeared on his face in an instant.
"Is this person crazy?! The supplies in the building are enough to keep us safe for a while. There is no need to take risks. This is gambling with all our lives!"
"Who is it? That lunatic?!"
"I can't see clearly, Grandpa."
Xu Da quickly raised the telescope and looked downstairs.
I saw two dark shadows tiptoeing towards the car.
At this time, the monster was wandering nearby, but it didn't seem to notice the two people.
There seemed to be no trace of eyes on its face, only two slender ears moving, sharp fangs stained with bright red blood, and its mouth opening and closing, as if it was saying something.
"Looks like we're lucky. This monster seems to be blind and relies mainly on hearing to make decisions."
"Although those two were a bit reckless, they should have noticed the monster's weakness in the building in advance, so they took the risk."
"But why would they..." Before he could finish his words, a trace of gloom flashed across Xu Da's eyes.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sneer: "So this is what you planned."
"grandfather?"
"Xiaotong, be good and wait here."
"Grandpa will be back soon. Before that, Louis, you should stay here with Xiaotong. I'm worried about leaving her alone."
“… Yeah, okay.”
It's really strange. He was worried about leaving Xiaotong alone, so would he feel relieved if he left a strange man like himself?
However, if I really did something to Xiaotong, Xu Da would definitely shoot me when he comes back.
But there is no need to leave yourself alone.
He wanted to go out and take a look. Shouldn't there be more people and more strength?
But why did he leave himself alone in this place...
What exactly does he want to do?
There was a hint of doubt between Louis' brows, but he concealed it well, smiled, and began to chat with Xu Tong.
But Xu Da left the room early.
Then, some time passed.
"Bang--"
"ah--"
Two screams suddenly came from outside the window.
Louis' eyelids jumped, and then he leaned over to the window, looking downstairs.
I saw the original long-eared monster lying on a person's body and tearing his flesh and blood. Blood was spurting, which was creepy.
The other person was so scared that he ran towards the building.
All I heard was, "Open the door! Open the door!"
"We were wrong. We shouldn't have come out to steal supplies. Let me in, Uncle Da, Uncle Da——"
"ah--"
The long-eared monster's ears moved slightly, and it leaped like a monkey onto the head of the man who was banging on the iron door at the door. Then its sharp claws pierced the man's head directly, blood splattered everywhere, and the screams stopped abruptly.
Louis glanced at Xu Tong and saw that she was covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of anxiety and fear. She turned away and vomited into a trash can.
It seems that Xu Da protects Xu Tong very well.
Born in the Black City, have you never seen such a bloody scene?
But what concerned Louis was why these two people failed?
Logically speaking, after knowing the monster's weakness, shouldn't you try your best to be careful not to make any noise?
And the "bang" sound before, if Louis heard it correctly, seemed like the sound of firecrackers exploding.
Together with the last person, he banged on the iron gate and begged Xu Da for mercy...
An idea came to Louis' mind: it was Xu Da who came downstairs and killed them on purpose.
As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than the word "interest".
The reason why the other party went to steal supplies in the middle of the night was simply because they wanted to occupy the resources and form their own faction.
But it was obvious that Xu Da had seen through the opponent's tricks and then he took advantage of the situation without hesitation.
Xu Da is...
It’s really hard to comment.
You say he is not kind, but he will risk his own life to save himself in the morning; you say he is kind, but if his interests are violated, he will kill without hesitation.
However, people themselves are complex.
So we can only say that it was unexpected but reasonable.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
A crisp voice rang out.
"The bell of the conference room rang. Let's go, Brother Lu, to the conference room." The fear on Xu Tong's face had not yet faded, and he still looked a little pale.
She leaned on the wooden table, spat into the trash can, then stood up weakly and walked out the door.
Louis followed behind him and headed towards the meeting room.
After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at the meeting room.
Everyone rushed into the meeting room, and in an instant the room was packed, and everyone found their own small stool.
Louis scratched his nose. He had to stand because he was a newcomer and there was no stool available.
"Xiaolu, please sit on my seat." Xu Da waved to Louis and handed him the stool behind him.
Louis was slightly startled, but did not refuse Xu Da's kindness. He took the stool and sat in a corner with Xu Tong, Aunt Bai, Ma Fuchen and others.
Xu Da, who had been relatively amiable just now, now had a completely different look on his face. His face was ashen, and he held a pistol in his hand, pointing it at Cheng Tao.
