Chapter 411 The epidemic is rampant (9)
Xia Yueke couldn't sleep in the room. They were some distance away from the people who were robbed. They could tell that the people who were robbed were orcs, and there was no doubt that the robbers were humans.
Xia Yueke guessed that it might be in this wooden house, but she didn't know which family it belonged to.
Xia Yueke felt a sinking feeling in his heart and broke into a sweat. These humans had only temporarily set their sights on the orcs. Once the orcs' food was eaten up, they would be the ones to be robbed!
Cangwu sat silently beside Xia Yueke, "Are you unhappy? Are you afraid that those people will come and steal our food?" "No, I will beat them away."
Cangwu's voice rang out behind him, with an unquestionable firmness. But Xia Yueke's brows were still furrowed, and her face was solemn.
She knew in her heart that the robbers were a well-trained gang with strong strength.
No matter how powerful Cangwu was, he was alone. Two fists could not defeat four hands, so how could he resist those wolf-like robbers? Thinking of this, Xia Yueke felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her heart, spreading throughout her body. In this sultry night, she couldn't help but shiver.
They are always few in number!
But to reassure Cangwu, Xia Yueke nodded and said, "Go back to sleep."
On the next morning, the orcs who had been robbed began to borrow food from everywhere. The orcs who were on good terms with them were begged one by one. Some took out a piece of dried meat, some took out a few dried fruits, but there was no more.
The orcs shared a small amount of food, which was not enough for them to eat. Some of the cubs were even crying out of hunger, and the females all had pale faces.
But every orc got a little food, which solved the problem. Everything was moving in a good direction, and there was harmony in the tribe.
But it only lasted for one day. At night, another robbery occurred. Xia Yueke and Cangwu still leaned on the window to listen like they did yesterday.
Unexpectedly, a roar was heard, which seemed to come from a male orc. "Adi, you are going too far. This wasn't the attitude you showed when you begged us to share your food this morning. I didn't expect that you would actually want to steal the food!"
The roars of the robbed orcs could also be heard from the surroundings. From this, it could be heard that they seemed to be familiar faces.
Xia Yueke felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that food was too important. These people were going crazy.
Xia Yueke and Cangwu stopped listening and reinforced the fence surrounding the wooden house with their left and right hands. They successfully made it two meters high and put sharp bamboos on it. Anyone who dared to climb the wall would be stabbed.
There were also many traps at the entrance to prevent anyone from attacking them in the middle of the night.
There are many people doing this around here, and these humans are all alert. Now they not only have to be wary of their own kind around them, but also of the orcs.
Xia Yueke and Cangwu were busy in the yard. Cangwu suddenly stopped and made a vague gesture at Xia Yueke not far away.
Xia Yuke immediately stopped and listened to the surrounding sounds. Could someone be robbing them so soon? They still had a lot of traps to set. What should they do? Should he run away with Cangwu now? But there were so many things in this room, she couldn't bear to leave them!
Xia Yue used nearly 20,000 beast coins to fill almost the entire house with food, enough for the two of them to eat for 30 days. If they left here, they would not be able to find enough food and water to help them get through the rest of the day.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Boom boom boom boom!!!”
There was an urgent knock on the door. Xia Yuke was puzzled. Are the robbers nowadays so bold? Are they going to come in through the main door?
Just as Cangwu was about to take action, Xia Yueke heard a familiar voice, "Xia Yueke, are you there? Are you guys there? I'm Lu Chunlai!"
When Xia Yuke heard this, for some reason, she felt relieved and gave Cangwu a wink.
He opened the door, and the man was Lu Chunlai.
Xia Yuke looked behind her and found that there was no one else. When Lu Chunlai saw the door was open, he immediately rushed in.
As soon as she came in, she said anxiously: "Xia Yueke, I seem to be being watched. I always felt that someone was looking at my wooden house during the day. I thought it was an illusion, but I had that feeling again just now, so I came to find you..."
Lu Chunlai felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time she sought help from others. In the past, she always relied on her status as a karate champion and was not afraid of these things at all. But now, she was alone, and the opposite side gave her the feeling that there were quite a few people, and they were all very powerful guys, which forced her to be vigilant.
Xia Yueke was speechless, looking at her expressionlessly, "So you came to us? What if you get us into trouble? And why should we help you? We've only met once, so we don't have much of a relationship."
Xia Yueke had been panicking about this matter for the past two days. She thought she could survive for a few more days and wanted to transfer some supplies. Now Lu Chunlai intervened, which put them in the target of those people in advance.
Lu Chun knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled at Xia Yueke's cold face and said, "Okay, Xia Yueke, I'm alone anyway, so why don't I move in with you guys? Besides, I'm very strong, so leave the fighting to me!"
Xia Yuke still looked at her straight. Isn't this as she should? She brought trouble upon herself. If Lu Chunlai didn't fight, should she do it?
Lü Chunlai then continued with a pained expression, "How about this: I give you one-fifth of my food?"
Xia Yuke snorted softly. They already had food, so they didn't have to worry about it. But now the trouble had come. Even if they drove Lu Chunlai away, it would be useless. The other party would definitely think that they were teammates, and if they were to take action, they would solve the problem together!
Seeing that the two were still dissatisfied, Lu Chunlai was in a dilemma. It was not until he saw Cangwu that his eyes lit up:
"How about this? I'll join you, give you all the food, and then I'll help you protect Xia Yueke, Cangwu. Although my strength isn't very strong, it should be no problem for me to protect her! Otherwise, when you go to fight others, Cangwu, you'll have to distract yourself to protect Xia Yueke. How troublesome!"
Cangwu was not satisfied with the previous answer, but seemed to agree with the current statement. He looked at Xia Yueke, still asking about her decision.
Xia Yuke thought this was a very good idea. Her fighting ability was so weak that she was holding Cangwu back. If Lu Chunlai could protect her from behind, wouldn't Cangwu be able to show his skills?
Xia Yueke nodded without hesitation, "Okay." She looked at the sky again.
It was already late at night, and the other party had not made a move yet. It seemed that they did not plan to take action tonight and would wait until tomorrow night. This was just right, and they could also prepare everything.
