After the training course, I was riding my bike home.
Zhao Gang noticed that his cub was overly excited and eager about the guests coming to the house.
Sheng Qingyang went home with the patrol car to pack some things first, and came back later.
Zhao Xiaoxiu thought it was perfect; it gave her time to prepare how to welcome the guests.
First point.
"Dad, you can't let them out, okay?" Zhao Xiaoxiu earnestly instructed.
Zhao Gang responded with an "oh," already starting to regret teaming up with Lord Number Three.
Zhao Xiaoxiu continued, "If we encounter any danger at night, we must protect Sister Sheng. She trusts me a lot, which is why she came to stay at our house."
Zhao Gang looked down at his cub with curiosity, suspecting that Sheng Qingyang had drugged her.
Zhao Xiaoxiu: "When we get back, we'll tidy up the things on the sofa in the living room so that Sister Sheng can rest."
"And another thing!" Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly remembered something important, "We haven't used the filter yet, and it's too late to use it now. We can't let Sister Sheng use our water!"
Zhao Gang: "..." This is so troublesome, but I dare not say it, for fear that the cub will be unhappy.
"You like Sheng Qingyang?" Zhao Gang asked uncertainly.
Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled, "Yeah."
“Dad, she’s very polite and definitely a person with good manners,” Zhao Xiaoxiu emphasized.
Zhao Gang remembered the two tactless people who had come to his house before, and finally felt a little better.
He hates people who lack a sense of propriety!
Hearing this, we've arrived home.
The father and daughter parked their bicycles and quickly began tidying up the house, moving all the clutter from the living room and cleaning out the first-floor bathroom for guests.
Soon, it got dark.
Around 7:30 p.m., Sheng Qingyang arrived at Territory No. 13 in a patrol car.
Aji's previous visit to inform people to come directly to their doorstep indicated an emergency.
The situation is not urgent, and they will not barge into the territory directly to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Sheng Qingyang called out Zhao Xiaoxiu's name in front of the territory.
"Kosode!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu, who had been waiting in front of the house, jumped up from the stool with a start. "Dad, Sister Sheng is here!"
Zhao Gang came out of the house with a solar-powered flashlight in his hand. He turned it on and shone it over, and Sheng Qingyang was standing outside the territory with a large bag on his back.
He nodded, not caring whether others could see him in the dark, and said, "Come in."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Xiaoxiu jumped off the stool, reached for the flashlight in his hand, and happily went to greet him.
From Sheng Qingyang's perspective, the dark road was suddenly illuminated, and against the light, he could vaguely see a small figure running towards him.
She quickly reminded her, "Xiaoxiu, you don't need to come over. Wait for me where you are. It would be bad if you fell in the dark."
The swaying flashlight stopped, and he obediently stood still and waited for her to pass by.
Sheng Qingyang smiled faintly, quickened his pace, and walked up to the little girl. Following her footsteps and the path illuminated by the light, he arrived step by step in front of the house with the light on.
Zhao Gang stood outside the door with a calm expression and invited her in.
"I'm sorry to trouble you," Sheng Qingyang said apologetically.
"No trouble at all!" Zhao Xiaoxiu put down the flashlight and pulled Sheng Qingyang into the house.
The spacious living room had few pieces of furniture, but the house was spotless, and the terrazzo floor was sparkling.
Sheng Qingyang was slightly stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had returned to the home where his parents and family were still alive when he was a child.
When the SHASI virus was not present.
"Your house is so tidy." Sheng Qingyang took off his backpack and placed it on the floor next to the sofa, praising it sincerely.
Zhao Xiaoxiu said, "It's all thanks to my dad. My dad is amazing."
After saying that, he turned around and winked at Zhao Gang, and the old father, who was initially a little unhappy, immediately smiled.
"Sister, Dad and I sleep upstairs. There's a toilet and water in the stairwell on the first floor. You can use the toilet there, but don't use the water directly; it's river water."
"Also, remember to lock the front door when you go to sleep at night. If anything happens during the night, call us immediately, and I'll come to help you right away..."
Zhao Xiaoxiu, like a concerned old man, chattered on and on before waving her little hand to Sheng Qingyang and saying goodnight, then went upstairs with her father.
Sheng Qingyang listened patiently with a smile on his face the whole time, responding patiently until he watched the little guy's figure disappear at the top of the stairs.
"Goodnight, Sister Sheng." The little head suddenly appeared, only to be pulled back down again.
Sheng Qingyang's smile deepened. "Goodnight, Xiaoxiu."
The first floor fell completely silent.
Sheng Qingyang took out the sleeping bag, spread it on the sofa, turned off the flashlight Zhao Xiaoxiu had left behind, and went to sleep.
With no nighttime entertainment, most lords were already asleep before eight o'clock, and Sheng Qingyang's schedule was the same, getting up early and going to bed early.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights on the second floor were also turned off.
The entire Territory 13 was instantly plunged into darkness, pitch black.
The darkness breeds fear. The tranquil Territory 13 is like a giant beast, opening its blood-red maw in the night, waiting for its prey to come to it.
Two very faint footsteps came from the uncultivated wasteland.
Some voices, inaudible to ordinary people, whispered across this wasteland.
"Are we really going? This Territory No. 13 feels particularly creepy."
"Since we're already here, how can we not go? This is the richest place in Zone B. They sold the Floating Fish for over 16,000 points. Don't tell me you're not tempted."
"But brother, don't you think it's especially scary how dark it is here?"
"You think you can see in the dark? Who are you trying to fool!"
"But, but..." His night vision seemed to be malfunctioning here; things in front of him looked very blurry, perhaps only slightly better than that of an unevolved ordinary person.
The other person, who could read minds, glanced at him and then strengthened their mental power to remind him: "Pay attention to the situation inside the room."
The night-vision man nodded, suppressing his panic, and quietly peeked out through the glass of the aluminum alloy door.
Seeing that there was only a sleeping bag on the sofa in the room, I breathed a sigh of relief.
The two exchanged a glance and began to act!
The mind reader pulled out a gun and stood outside the door, while the night-vision man swiftly pried open the lock with barely a sound.
The night-vision man pushed open the door and entered. His movements were practiced, and the knife in his hand gleamed coldly. He moved swiftly and decisively, covering the face with one hand while stabbing the sleeping bag in the chest and abdomen with the other.
The knife pierced through easily. The night-vision man instantly realized something was wrong.
At the same time, the mind reader, who was standing by the door with a gun for cover, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.
He had just read a heartfelt message—death!
die?
Who will die?
Wait! Whose thoughts are these?!
The mind reader turned around in a panic, and a gleaming, sharp dagger swiftly sliced across his neck.
The laryngeal artery ruptured, and blood gushed out like a jet. The person slid down the door in an instant.
Before he completely lost consciousness, the mind reader saw a pair of gentle eyes stained with blood looking down at him.
