Chapter 5 Someone Knocks on the Door

The family of four leaned on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

They were awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.

Chen Qingqing sat up suddenly and subconsciously hugged her daughter in her arms.

Lin Bo glanced at the clock. It was 3 o'clock in the morning... Who would knock on the door?

He gave his wife a puzzled look, and Chen Qingqing shook her head.

No one knocked on the door on the first night of the apocalypse in the last life.

"I'll go and see." Lin Bo said in a deep voice, moving Xiao Huan to his wife's side.

"If there is any danger, you should hide in the space first."

Chen Qingqing nodded.

Lin Bo took the machete from the dining table, walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eye.

Standing at the door was the neighbor downstairs, a single man in his forties who was living off his parents. He had just sent his mother away last month and had been looking for a wife recently. As for why Lin Bo knew this, it was because this man had posted a lot of blind date lists in the elevator...

Lin Bo didn't like this man very much.

Because Chen Qingqing said that this man always came to talk to her when she took the children out to play, and asked her some personal questions.

Looking at the man's expression through cat eyes, you can see that the other party's emotions are not very stable.

He knew that Chen Qingqing was alone at home taking care of the children, but he still banged on the door so hard. What was his intention?

When the man waved his hand again and was about to bang on the door, Lin Bo suddenly banged on the door a few times from inside.

The man was startled and stuttered: "Ms. Chen, did you hear the noise outside?"

Lin Bo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chen Qingqing also heard it, handed her daughter to her son, walked to the door and looked at her husband.

"...I heard it, is there anything wrong?"

The man smiled proudly, but his tone was very anxious: "I heard your daughter crying loudly downstairs. Your aunt didn't seem to come today? Do you need my help?"

"...No, thank you." Chen Qingqing frowned.

"You're welcome, Miss Chen. If you can help me, just tell me. It sounds chaotic outside. I saw that people are discussing it online. If you are scared, just come to me. I'm downstairs."

"..."

Chen Qingqing took a deep breath: "I know, please go back."

The footsteps gradually faded away, but Lin Bo was still looking at the cat's eyes.

Chen Qingqing felt a strange feeling in her heart, and soon Lin Bo looked at her and shook his head with a serious expression.

...The man didn't leave!

Lin Bo watched him deliberately stomp on the spot, his footsteps gradually lightened, and he turned around and stuck to the door.

As long as the door is opened, he can get in!

Lin Bo's face darkened.

It seems that the man doesn't know that he has returned home.

Lin Bo flies all over the country for work all year round. He is away on business for one or two months and usually gets home late at night.

In addition to Chen Qingqing taking care of the children, Lin Bo would also ask his aunt to help.

So the man didn't notice that Lin Bo was back.

Lin Bo couldn't imagine how his wife would deal with this pervert if he was really not at home.

Lin Bo turned to look at his wife and whispered, "How do you want to deal with it?"

Chen Qingqing survived three years of struggling in the apocalypse, not by kindness.

After rebirth, she put all her feelings on her family. For something that would threaten the safety of herself and her family...

Chen Qingqing glanced at the machete in her husband's hand.

If her husband was not there, she would definitely open the door and get rid of this man immediately to eliminate future troubles.

But the apocalypse has just begun, and she doesn't want her husband to be stained with the same blood so early.

Once there is a precedent, such things will only become more and more frequent, and people's personalities will continue to be affected by it.

Most importantly, she didn't want Xiao Huan to see this.

Chen Qingqing exchanged glances with her husband.

"Get rid of him."

Lin Bo nodded, grasped the door handle, and pushed the door open.

The man standing against the wall at the door was also startled. He quickly put on a flattering smile and looked over. When he saw Lin Bo, his face froze.

Lin Bo is 1.85 meters tall and works out a lot. He has all the muscles he should have. In order to make it easier to move things, he only wore a shirt, which showed the shape of his muscles, making him look tall and strong.

The man looked at Lin Bo, who was a head taller than him and holding a machete in his hand, and swallowed.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Bo looked down at him.

The man opened his mouth, stepped back a few steps, and laughed awkwardly: "I, I want to ask if you need help."

"I didn't expect you to be at home, then, then you definitely don't need me."

"I really don't need help, but if you have extra food, I don't mind taking it." Lin Bo looked him up and down.

"You are the only one in your family, so I guess there must be plenty of food, right?"

The man's smile was almost unstoppable, and his eyes kept glancing at the machete in Lin Bo's hand. Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is indeed quite sufficient, then... I will send some over later?"

Lin Bo pulled the corner of his mouth with a fake smile: "Thank you."

The man immediately turned around and ran downstairs as if he was escaping.

Lin Bo closed the door, looked at his wife who was standing against the wall with her arms folded, and sighed softly: "I didn't know you had such a neighbor."

"It's all my fault. I wish I had known earlier."

Hearing this, Chen Qingqing's unhappiness about her neighbor suddenly disappeared, and she smiled: "Don't blame you. I didn't know he would be such a person before."

This man seemed to have died very early in his previous life. Except for coming to her house to borrow something at the beginning of the end of the world, they had no intersection since then.

She didn't expect this man to squat at the door of her house.

The shouting outside continued, but fortunately the electric car downstairs stopped sounding the alarm, and the horn sound on the street in the distance gradually subsided.

Huo Huo started crying again.

Chen Qingqing took Huo Huo from Xiao Huan.

"It's time to change his diaper."

Lin Bo took Xiao Huan back to the bedroom.

Their house has four bedrooms and one living room. The couple lives in the largest master bedroom, Xiao Huan lives in the second bedroom, another room is a children's room that was renovated in advance for Huo Huo, and the last room is a study.

Huo Huo is only three months old and cannot be left alone, so the crib is placed next to the couple's big bed for easy care.

Huo Huo has gradually gotten used to the noise outside, and continued to fall asleep after changing his diaper.

Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo also sat on the bed and snuggled together, planning for the future.

"We can stay here for another month. We can go to the villa after a month."

The villa is neither in the city center nor in the countryside. It is in a remote area. Moreover, the facilities are not complete, the occupancy rate is very low, and there is nothing to loot. It is likely to be safe.

Chen Qingqing pulled up the quilt, "It's getting cold."

"Yes." Lin Bo hugged his wife tightly.

"After this week, we will go out to collect some clothes, quilts and so on."

Lin Bo asked casually, "Will winter be difficult to endure?"

Chen Qingqing nodded seriously, "Very difficult."

When the first winter of the apocalypse arrived, the water and electricity were completely cut off, and both the city and the countryside were in chaos.

The south was better, but the cities in the north had no heating, which was a real disaster.

Not to mention that this year's winter is more terrible than the winters in the past few decades.

But firewood and coal can be burned in the countryside, so many people run to the countryside, which makes the countryside more crowded. There are

also many people who stay in the city and rely on collecting wood and fuel to burn fires in buildings for heating.

But many things will produce thick smoke when burned, which can easily expose the location and bring about fatal disasters.

So in comparison, the villa is really the best choice.

There was a knock on the door, and Chen Qingqing immediately sat up alertly, and then realized belatedly that it should be the man downstairs who delivered something.

Lin Bo patted her shoulder lightly.

"I'll go."

Chen Qingqing nodded, but as she watched her husband leave the bedroom, Chen Qingqing always had an ominous premonition in her heart.
