Chi Yaoyang hugged it, hoping it could give him some comfort and sense of security.
"We should be okay, right?"
Chi Yaoyang spoke softly to the dog, with a hint of unconfidence in his voice.
He tried to comfort himself, telling himself that everything would pass.
The leaves outside the window swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
Chi Yaoyang's eyelids closed heavily and he slowly fell asleep.
His face still showed signs of fatigue, but he seemed to have found a moment of peace in his heart.
After falling asleep, Chi Yaoyang was immersed in a dream full of beautiful gardens.
He was surrounded by a sea of flowers, with colorful flowers blooming with dazzling brilliance.
The breeze blew across his face, bringing a cool feeling.
However, this beautiful scene was broken by a sudden horrifying scene.
All the flowers withered and turned into dead branches, emitting a rotten smell.
Inky black clouds covered the entire sky, with thunder and lightning and strong winds.
Chi Yaoyang ran around in panic, trying to find a glimmer of hope and security.
But no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to leave this dark and terrifying world.
And he woke up at this moment. The dream was so real, as if telling him that he would never be able to escape from this world in this lifetime.
Just then, the cell phone suddenly rang.
A text message flashed on the screen. He opened it and it said: Be careful! Someone is coming in!
The warning from Qin Yang made him sober up all of a sudden.
Chi Yaoyang looked around. The room was quiet and there was no suspicious movement.
What confused him even more was that his younger brother appeared in his room.
The younger brother stared at Chi Yaoyang with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
"How did you get in?"
Chi Yaoyang asked, trying to stabilize his emotions.
The younger brother approached Chi Yaoyang silently with no expression on his face.
A sharp knife suddenly appeared in his hand and he stabbed towards Chi Yaoyang fiercely.
Driven by his survival instinct, Chi Yaoyang nimbly dodged the attack.
But what was even more surprising was that at this critical moment, my brother suddenly stopped.
There was a glimmer of vigilance in Chi Yaoyang's eyes. He couldn't understand why his brother suddenly stopped attacking.
He had just dodged a fatal blow and was unsure whether he should release the anger deep within him.
"Why did you come in?"
Chi Yaoyang's voice was filled with worry and confusion as he tried to find the answer.
My brother stepped forward silently and passed the sharp knife.
He stood quietly in front of Chi Yaoyang, seemingly searching for the ability to speak.
Chi Yaoyang looked at the changes in his brother's eyes and doubts arose in his heart.
He checked the time and found that it was not yet midnight, which meant that his younger brother still wanted to kill him.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated and a chill ran down his spine throughout his body.
"Who are you and why are you coming into my house?"
"Don't you know me?"
Chi Yaoyang tried hard to control his emotions, "I am your brother."
The younger brother looked at Chi Yaoyang blankly, unable to understand what he said.
"You are my brother? I don't remember having a brother."
Chi Yaoyang was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
This younger brother was actually a complete stranger to him. It seemed that something had changed in the world, causing the connection between the two to disappear completely.
"I'm sorry, I may have disturbed you."
Chi Yaoyang tried to remain calm and explained, "I thought... I thought we were brothers."
My brother seemed to think for a while, his brows slightly frowned.
Chi Yaoyang had a bad feeling and he immediately left his brother's room.
Through the crack in the door, he caught a glimpse of his brother lying on the bed, tied up and crying.
This scene made Chi Yaoyang's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but feel confused by his brother's reaction.
He hurried to the bedside, trying to comfort this strange and distant person.
But whenever he approached, his brother would retreat and exude hostility.
"I don't know you," the brother sobbed. "You are a stranger."
Chi Yaoyang couldn't understand all this and his mind was full of questions.
"Even if a stranger wants to help you, it's normal," he tried to explain.
"I don't know what you're talking about," the younger brother was able to muster up some courage to reply, "but all I know is that you're a dangerous stranger. Leave my room."
"All right."
Chi Yaoyang put aside his inner expectations of his brother and said, "If you need me, I'll be waiting not far away."
Chi Yaoyang left the room silently, feeling uneasy.
He walked out of the room and went to the second floor.
He could feel that the whole house was still filled with noise and chaos, as if the monsters' fight had never stopped.
The noise penetrated the walls, and every room was filled with the shouts and sounds of fighting and tearing.
At this moment, Chi Yaoyang heard the sound of the neighbor next door opening the door.
He was startled, and hope suddenly rose in his heart. Perhaps the neighbor could provide some help, or tell him what happened.
He walked carefully to the next door and knocked gently.
"Is anyone there?"
Chi Yaoyang's voice came through the heavy door into the next room.
After a while, the door slowly opened and an uncle appeared at the door.
Chi Yaoyang looked nervously at his neighbor in front of him. The middle-aged man looked quite down and out.
"Sir, why are you making so much noise?"
The neighbor looked at Chi Yaoyang with confusion in his voice.
【7: When you meet a neighbor, you can offer him a drink of water. 】
Chi Yaoyang hurried to the first floor, picked up a glass and filled it with water.
Although the rules are invalid, there may be benefits to following them.
He searched frantically and finally found a surviving glass in the corner.
The water from the tap was a murky color, but it was the best they could get for now.
He carefully handed the cup full of water to his neighbor, and the middle-aged man showed joy when he took it.
He looked at Chi Yaoyang gratefully and said, “Thank you, Mr. Chi, you are such a good person!”
"If you don't have a place to stay, why not come and rest at my place for a night?"
Chi Yaoyang followed his neighbor into his home. The place was extremely dark, with only a small table lamp emitting a faint yellow light.
The moonlight coming in from the window shone on the wall, outlining the contours of the old furniture.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the neighbors, Chi Yaoyang finally saw the place clearly.
Apart from the dining table next to it filled with various foods, there seemed to be no signs that anyone had ever lived in this small room.
Everything seems so simple, yet exudes a sense of warmth.
"Please sit down. Please sit down."
The neighbor pointed at a worn-out sofa and said to Chi Yaoyang.
He nodded politely and sat down, feeling that he was still a little weak.
