Chapter 58 Knock, knock, someone is knocking on the door
"Meow meow, tell me, why haven't Sister Lan and Brother Tang come back yet?"
Basement safe house.
Xiao Li held the kitten in his arms, feeding it and murmuring to himself.
The cow-colored kitten nestled in the girl's arms, its two little front paws gripping the pacifier tightly, grunting and eating with great pleasure.
It doesn't care what the nanny says to it.
"Ms. Li, the steak is ready. Please come and eat it while it's hot."
Over in the simple kitchen, the young chef in white placed a plate of medium-rare steak on the dining table, with an exquisite and beautiful rose carved out of carrots placed next to it.
His old father's sound sleep made him feel more and more at ease, and his cooking skills became better and better.
This grilled steak is even more fragrant than the teppanyaki that day.
The cat was so delicious that Xiao Li didn't even finish feeding it. He directly rushed to the dining table with the cat in his arms, eating until his mouth was covered in grease.
Old Song called out, "Little girl, if you're worried about them, just let me go out and look for them. I'll definitely help you find them soon."
"You'll definitely take the opportunity to escape soon." Xiao Li looked up from his plate and glared at Old Song. "Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm young and cute. I won't let you go. Sister Lan specifically told me to keep an eye on you before she left."
Just as I looked up, the steak on the plate was taken away by the white cat.
"Why!"
Xiao Li was so angry that he pounded the table.
Boom boom boom.
Boom! Boom!
“……?”
Several people in the room looked towards the door at the same time.
There was not only the sound of pounding the table, but also someone was knocking on the door.
"The trap didn't activate and the alarm didn't go off." Xiao Li stood up puzzled.
Could it be that Sister Lan and the others are back?
But I didn't hear Sister Lan's voice.
Meow!
The white cat put down the steak in its mouth.
His blue eyes suddenly lit up and stared at the door.
A low growl came from his throat.
"Little girl, don't move. Untie me." Old Song said with a vigilant look, "You two hide in the back. I'll go open the door and take a look."
There is no peephole installed on the iron door of the basement, so there is no way to know who is outside except by opening the door.
Xiao Li hesitated for a moment and took a kitchen knife.
The situation was sudden, and Qiao Lan told them that the matter of guarding the prisoners had to be put aside for the time being, as everyone's safety was the most important thing.
She cut the rope around Old Song and whispered, "Don't take this opportunity to run away..."
Old Song jumped off the chair and rotated his wrists and ankles to quickly circulate blood in his arms and legs that had been tied for a long time.
The knot that the fat girl used to tie him up was too difficult to untie. If it were an ordinary knot, he would have untied it himself long ago.
"I'm not running. Don't hold the knife against me. Stay away from me."
Old Song stopped Xiao Li who was about to follow him, picked up a kitchen knife from the kitchen counter, and walked to the door alone.
Knock, knock! The knocking continued.
Not too light or too heavy, very rhythmic.
"Who is it?" he asked loudly.
No one answered.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The sound of knocking on the door continued.
It definitely isn’t Qiao Lan Xiao Tang.
The city is full of ruins, who could it be?
Xiao Li and the young chef looked at each other and both felt a little scared.
Who is so quiet and silent, just knocking on the door?
They all tightened their kitchen knives, stepped back, and stayed beside the unconscious old chef.
Click, Lao Song unscrewed the lock.
He turned the doorknob and opened the door a little.
There is no one outside the door.
Meow! Ouch!
The white cat suddenly screamed.
He jumped up and landed on the old chef's quilt like lightning.
As fast as a flash of white light.
Woo-woo—ow!
At the same time, a black light appeared.
In the blink of an eye, it shot in from outside the door.
It was so fast that no one could see what it was.
Old Song instinctively swung his knife and slashed downwards.
But it came back empty-handed.
"It's not a human, it's an animal!" Xiao Li exclaimed.
Everyone realized belatedly that it was not someone knocking on the door, but just a small animal rapping on it with its paws.
Because he was too short, everyone looked up at the same time when the door opened and didn't see him.
By the time you realize it's down there, it's too late.
It shot in.
Woo!
Woof woof!
Crunch!
Old Song's reaction was quick enough. He closed the door immediately after noticing something was wrong, but a huge force hit the door, making the gap bigger, and more animals rushed in in the blink of an eye.
There was a lot of shouting.
Each one is very fast.
Surrounded the three people in the house!
There was another strong slam against the door, and this time, the iron door was completely knocked to the ground, and the door hinges and leaves were broken.
The shadow that hit the door fell to the ground, shook its fur, and turned out to be a squirrel.
It is more than three times larger than an ordinary squirrel. Its huge head is even larger than its body, which is disproportionate. Its forehead is bluish. It is obvious that it was this iron head that hit the door just now.
Old Song swung his knife and chopped at the squirrel.
squeak!
The squirrel howled loudly and jumped aside.
The big tail turned around and swept over, directly wrapping around Lao Song's ankle and pulling him down.
"Run out, it's dangerous here!"
While fighting with the squirrel, Old Song shouted to Xiao Li and the others to run away quickly.
The safe house is no longer safe when it is attacked by a group of mutant beasts. At this time, running out may give you a chance to survive.
However, the alarm suddenly rang out in the passage, and a man ran in with a gun, pointing the gun at the gate, blocking everyone's escape route.
"Dad! Dad! Wake up!"
the young chef yelled.
He and Xiao Li slashed with their swords, but they were just ordinary people, with slightly better physiques after attracting crystal cores. How could they compare with the mutated animals?
In the blink of an eye, danger arose and both of them almost lost their lives.
The young chef just hoped that his old father would get up quickly and show his prowess like he did when he killed the big rat in seconds.
However, the old chef was sleeping very soundly, and even though the white cat was jumping around on him, he showed no intention of waking up.
Meow!
The white cat became anxious.
A short three-legged chicken flew onto the dining table and fluttered towards the kitten that Xiao Li had placed on the table.
The kitten was holding the baby's pacifier in its mouth and was too scared to move.
Oh!
The white cat barked wildly.
Suddenly, the old chef pulled out a small gray stone from under his quilt and swallowed it in one gulp.
The sharp cat claws scratched the old chef's face.
Three bloodstains, blood dripping.
