Chapter 40: Burning Flames

"That's right! Wang Xue, open the door! We are all your neighbors, and everyone should get a share of the food you brought back!"

"Open the door, open the door!!!"

Yan Qing quietly stepped onto the stairs and half of his head popped out to look, only to see five people standing in front of a door, both men and women, the oldest was estimated to be fifty years old, and the youngest was estimated to be in his thirties.

They all held weapons, stretched out their hands and kept knocking on the door, while shouting at the door, but the family never opened the door.

The hands of several people behind their backs were holding kitchen knives and fruit knives, and those knives were faintly flashing with blood.

Obviously, this was not the first time they did this.

"Wang Xue! If you don't open the door, we'll bang it down!" The hoarse man's voice sounded impatiently. He slapped the security door in front of him hard for the last time, and kicked it hard.

A huge sound of kicking the door sounded, and the distortion on the hoarse man's face flashed by. Although others didn't notice it, Yan Qing caught it.

"Brother Guo, I think we should just bang the door down directly?" One of the tallest bald men with pockmarks on his face bent down and said to the hoarse man.

"Yes, Brother Guo, it will be easier if we just chop the door open like last time!" Another woman in her forties also had a fierce look on her face at this time, looking at the security door in front of her with impatience.

At this time, the hoarse-voiced Brother Guo also put his hands behind his back and looked at the security door in front of him like a judge.

"Since Wang Xue won't open the door, we can just go in and kill him," he said, shaking his head proudly, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what he did. He was judging Wang Xue from the highest moral point of view.

Brother Guo had already judged three families in this way. Others on the floor didn't dare to show their heads or speak, for fear of attracting Brother Guo's attention.

"I heard that Wang Xue has a daughter who is only 18 years old. When the time comes... hehe..." A man with a sly look winked at the tall bald man, and even showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.

The bald man rubbed his hands immediately, and his cheeks suddenly turned red as if he thought of something, "I think even his wife is still charming..."

"You kid, I didn't expect you to like married women?" The woman in her forties glanced at the bald man, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"What do you know? Married women are the taste!" The bald man said, and also imitated Guo Ge's shaking head.

"Hahaha!"

The five of them burst into laughter. They didn't care whether the people inside opened the door or not. Anyway, they could break the door and get in.

They seemed to have anticipated how the people inside would be treated. Everyone's face showed different levels of excitement and evil.

"Since Wang Xue is unkind to them, we don't need to be unjust to Wang Xue. Let's just go in and kill them!" Brother Guo stared at the door in front of him with a sinister look on his face, raised his weapons and gave orders to others.

"That's right!"

Several other people also raised their weapons, echoed Brother Guo, and were ready to rush in and kill at any time.

Yan Qing looked at the five people in front of her who were pretending to make excuses for her, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. She slowly brewed lightning in her hand, and when she was about to kill these people directly, there was

a "creak" sound, and the door in front of her opened. Yan Qing took back the lightning in her hand, ready to see what the situation was.

A frail man in his fifties wearing glasses stood inside the door. He should be the Wang Xue mentioned by the five people.

The hoarse man called Brother Guo saw the door was opened and looked Wang Xue up and down with a look of "you know what's good for you" and said, "Humph, Wang Xue, you still have some knowledge! If you don't open the door, we brothers will just force our way in!"

The man with a sly eye also stepped forward and pointed a kitchen knife at Wang Xue, his face full of lust, "Wang Xue, why don't you hand over your wife and daughter?"

Wang Xue looked at the man with an angry face and pointed his hands at him. The man with the sly eyes shouted, "You are looking for death!!"

The man with the sly eyes saw that Wang Xue was not as cowardly as before, and he dared to scold him. He was about to get angry, but a hot flame suddenly burst out from Wang Xue's hand.

Before the man with the sly eyes could react, he was already shrouded in flames. "Ah!!!! My eyes!!!"

A scream rang out, like a rooster crowing. The man with the sly eyes threw away the kitchen knife in his hand, covered his eyes and fell to the ground and rolled over, trying to use this method to extinguish the flames on his body.

The remaining four people looked at the fire man who was rolling on the ground, and their faces changed drastically. They looked at each other and saw the incredible and fear in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that the most frightened man in front of them actually awakened the fire ability!

They stared closely at Wang Xue who was about to retreat with a weapon in his hand. Yan Qing, who was hiding in the dark, saw the remaining four people trying to escape. She threw out a small lightning ball,

which hit the four people who were fleeing. A slight electric current flashed, but no one noticed it. A tingling sensation spread throughout their bodies, making them unable to move.

Wang Xue, who was standing inside the door, seized the opportunity to pursue them. He immediately stepped out of the door and faced the four people who were standing there. The four people sprayed flames from their hands, and

the flames instantly ignited the four people. The terrible screams echoed in the stairwell.

Wang Xue looked at the four people who were lying on the ground and rolling because of the burning flames. He recalled that he was bitten by a zombie when he went out to find food a few days ago.

He had given up on survival. The figure of his wife and daughter at home appeared in his mind. If he died, what would happen to his wife and daughter? How would they survive in this doomsday? Who would come to protect them?

The strong desire to survive made the thin Wang Xue burst out with unprecedented strength. In the end, he successfully killed the zombies and brought the food home before he fainted. Looking at the distance of only one step, he finally fell in front of the door.

After waking up, Wang Xue’s wife told Wang Xue that luckily she saw Wang Xue had been out for a long time that day. She was really worried and was about to go out to look for Wang Xue. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wang Xue fainted on the ground. She called her daughter to move Wang Xue back home.

Wang Xue’s wife and daughter looked at the food he brought back, the scars all over his body, and the wounds from zombie bites, and they burst into tears. They couldn’t imagine what Wang Xue relied on to support him to come back.

They had been guarding Wang Xue these days, hoping that a miracle would happen. They thought that since Wang Xue didn’t become a zombie after being bitten, then maybe... wouldn’t he become a zombie?

The moment Wang Xue successfully woke up, his wife and daughter finally let go of their worries.
