Chapter 160 Knock Knock Knock
The bearded man and his wife spent the most unforgettable night together.
First, there was a knock on the door after dark, which scared the two people who were lying in the quilt and preparing to go to sleep.
"Old man, who do you think is outside the door?" the woman asked in a low voice, her whole body shaking like a sieve.
Everyone who lives on this street knows that people talk during the day and close their doors at night.
They are more afraid of their own kind than zombies.
The bearded man didn't reply, but rubbed his hands beside him with shaking hands.
My heart calmed down after I touched the cold sharp object.
The door was knocked again, and the knocking seemed to continue until the person came out.
The sound was not loud, but it felt like knocking on the heart.
"I'll go and take a look." The bearded man whispered.
The woman tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, her voice taut as a thread, "You, you better be careful."
The bearded man slapped her hand away.
He tiptoed closer to the door and listened.
“Knock knock—”
The sudden sound in his ear scared him and made him gasp.
The knocking stopped.
Apparently the person behind the door heard the noise.
"Brother, is it behind the door?"
Isn't this the voice of the person who robbed Lao Zhang's house?!
The bearded man broke out in a cold sweat.
Why are they looking for him?
"Brother, we know you are behind this." A somewhat eerie voice came from the gap in the door.
A tingling sensation crawled up from the soles of my feet along my spine to my neck, as if a poisonous snake were coiling around me.
The bearded man's palms were covered in cold sweat.
He swallowed hard, trying to sound normal.
"Yes, we can talk about it tomorrow. Let's go to bed."
"It's too late to do it tomorrow. Open the door and let's go in and talk."
"That won't work. We're already asleep."
The woman quietly got out of bed and squatted beside him, her heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.
When he heard that the two men insisted on coming in, his hands and feet became cold, and his knees became weak, so he sat down on the ground.
Those are two brutal men with super powers!
Her husband can't beat two people...
The images of women who had died tragically that he had seen before automatically appeared before his eyes.
Faintly, she saw a face that looked like her own lying in a pool of blood...
"Don't worry, brother. We don't have any thoughts about you. We just want to make a deal." The man outside the door took two deep breaths and tried to speak calmly.
"What kind of deal? We don't have money, no, we don't have crystal cores."
God bless them and let them go quickly.
The woman folded her hands and prayed continuously.
"If they try to break in through the door, I'll hold them back and you run to the safe zone." The bearded man leaned in and whispered.
"That--"
The bearded man quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down."
The woman was so frightened that her nose felt sore and tears flowed out.
The resort hotel is good, with food and drinks provided.
But they couldn't live there.
Boss Xia doesn't care about what's happening outside.
Their days were just as difficult as they were at the base.
If she could stay in a hotel...if she could...she would pay any price...
"Okay, open the door, we can let you stay in the hotel." The person behind the door finally became impatient and stated the purpose of his trip.
What...
The two were stunned.
Stay in a hotel?
"Will you open it? If you don't, we'll find someone else."
Open? No?
The two were unsure.
On one side are two lives that may be harmed, and on the other side is the long-desired opportunity to stay in a hotel.
But the person outside the door obviously didn't have the patience to wait any longer.
There is a lot of room for maneuver when it comes to reserving the first place.
Find the next person who will be the first.
When the bearded man and his wife heard that they were really leaving, they were half relieved and half confused.
"How about giving it a try?"
Women are equally unsure.
Hearing that the two people had really walked away, the bearded man hardened his heart and opened the door.
The moon is dark and windy, the moonlight is bright, the moonlight is like water, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, the old man under the moon...
The bearded man looked at the two people who were about to knock on another door and shouted, "Wait!"
The two turned around with mocking expressions.
"Why, have you figured it out?"
The bearded man nodded, his eyes full of vigilance, "Are you telling the truth?"
He lowered his voice for fear that the neighbors would hear him.
"Come in and talk."
The bearded man wanted to take a gamble.
The man with pointed ears and the man with pigtails looked at each other, then turned around and went back to the bearded man's house.
The two of them didn't hesitate and sat directly on the only available bed in the room.
The bearded man half-hid himself in front of the woman and asked cautiously:
"What you just said... is it true?"
"Um."
"But there are no vacancies in the resort hotel. If there were..."
“Haven’t you heard the saying, if there aren’t any conditions, create them.” The man with pointed ears scratched his ears and flicked his little finger casually, looking nonchalant.
The bearded man seemed to understand and his heart was beating like a drum.
They want to...
"What do you want? Name a price and I'll see if I can afford it."
The man with pigtails on the side said, "Tell me a number."
this...
The bearded man and the woman looked at each other, not knowing how to offer a price.
Seeing that the two were still unable to speak, the long-eared man sneered and suggested:
"Hesitant? Just think about how many crystal cores your lives are worth. Isn't that a pretty easy number to come up with?"
This isn't just a scalper asking for an exorbitant price; it's a direct threat.
The bearded man gritted his teeth and quoted: "Ten level one crystal cores."
"Let's keep these flowers for the journey." The two of them got up and left.
"No, no, no, aren't we here to negotiate the price? Let's talk about it again." The bearded man stood in front, looking a little flustered.
"No more wasting time, one price, six level-two crystal cores." The long-eared man made a six gesture.
"This is too expensive! I don't have that many crystal cores!"
"If you don't have one, find a way yourself."
The long-eared man waved his arm away and the two of them walked out.
The bearded man did not try to stop them and just watched them leave.
"Husband, do you think what they said is true?"
"...have no idea."
The two returned to the door, knocked a few times, said something, and the door opened.
The long-eared man looked back at him before entering the room, unable to conceal the sarcasm on his lips.
"They went in. Do you think that family will give you six level 2 crystal cores? That's too expensive."
The woman lay on the edge of the door with only her eyes exposed.
"What's the point if that family agrees? We're the first ones to make the reservation. Even if there's a vacancy, we'll be the first to move in."
After hearing what she said, the bearded man also thought that this was the case.
It seems there is no need to worry.
Let that family pay for the crystal core.
Anyway, I am the first one.
The bearded man looked at the hotel covered in silver gauze, pulled the woman into the house and prepared to close the door.
But he didn't expect that the woman's sudden words would make his scalp tingle and his heart and liver break.
"As long as we don't move in, it doesn't matter if others pay for the crystal core. It's getting late, let's go to bed."
The woman locked the door and took his hand, only to find that her palms were full of cold sweat and her fingers were icy cold.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
The bearded man turned his head slowly and mechanically, his eyes wide open and full of fear.
“How can the person who comes second get to the first place?”
"What's wrong with you? Is there any need to ask? Of course it's to surpass the first place - what do you mean?!"
The woman also reacted.
"How dare they..."
The bearded man didn't have time to say anything. He hurriedly opened the door and wanted to rush over to pull the two people back.
But then they saw the two men walking out of the door with smiles on their faces...
