Chapter 32
Strangely, the electronic lock on the door showed no signs of being damaged.
Generally, locksmiths are registered with the Public Security Bureau, and not just anyone who claims to be the owner of the house will open the door.
Because the old house has been uninhabited for many years, the electronic lock we bought is the one with the highest security performance. These people can come in quietly. They must be well prepared and equipped with relevant technology.
That means that all locked doors and objects in the old house will probably not be spared.
As expected, the lock of the house was opened without any surprise.
Bai Fei pushed the wheelchair into the living room opposite the front door and saw that the furniture in the room had obvious signs of having been turned over.
All the drawers of the chest of drawers against the wall were pulled open, and even the sofa cushions were cut open by a sharp knife, leaving the seam exposed and lonely. Even the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall were not spared.
"It looks like someone's already come in and rummaged through it. What are they looking for?" Bai Fei walked over to a chest of drawers and put the drawn drawer back in place. She turned to Liu Xia with some concern and asked, "Xiao Xia, should we call the police?"
"It's useless." Liu Xia shook his head and looked at the situation in the room calmly. This was obviously an organized and planned action, and they were not afraid of the police investigating their background at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a mess in the house so blatantly.
Judging from the dust on the ground, the house had been ransacked at least three months ago, which was the time when she was in a coma after the car accident.
So many people haven't found what they want in the old house, so this thing must not be out in the open.
What do the two messages sent by Liu Feng mean?
[You can’t protect the things in the old house.]
Beware of blue badge wearers.
Could it be that he couldn't find it in the old house, so he deliberately used this information to attract her to the old house?
But the second blue badge message seemed to be another warning to her.
It's really elusive.
Liu Xia racked her brains to recall her parents' memories before the car accident, trying to find out if her parents had told her that there were important things left in the old house and asked her to keep an eye out for them.
Thoughts kept hitting her brain, and suddenly a piece of information popped into her mind, giving her some idea.
Before she could recall it carefully, she vaguely heard light footsteps coming from the second floor...
In the wasteland world, "recycling garbage" not only strengthens the body in that world, but also strengthens the body in the real world to a certain extent, such as hearing, vision, and alertness to dangerous things.
"Shh!" Liu Xia told Bai Fei to stop. Her heart was pounding. She gasped and gripped the wheelchair armrests tightly. Her fingertips turned white from the force. A premonition of danger kept warning her in her mind, "There's someone in the room!"
"Where is it?" Bai Fei quickly lowered his voice and listened carefully, but he could not hear any sound at all.
"Maybe it's another group of people."
Liu Xia waved at Bai Fei and motioned her to come over: "Let's go out quietly first, don't alarm him."
Bai Fei nodded obediently, tiptoed back to Liu Xia, grabbed the wheelchair handle, took out the pepper spray he carried with his other hand, and looked warily at the stairs to the second floor, ready to attack at any time if the man came down.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of something heavy falling from the second floor. It seemed that it knew it had been discovered, and a sharp sound of nails scratching metal came from there.
She hadn't expected that someone would be in the old house in broad daylight. Her current condition wasn't suitable for a confrontation. Liu Xia felt a little annoyed that she could only move one leg when she woke up. She anxiously whispered, "Fei Fei, let's get out of here quickly!"
The constantly changing scenes began to flash and distort in front of Liu Xia's eyes. The dusty floor began to surge, and even the afterglow of the setting sun was flashing wildly with a strange rhythm. The severe dizziness made it impossible for her to see what was causing the movement on the second floor.
Liu Xia knew that her consciousness was about to leave her. The dizziness made her only aware of the vibration of the wheelchair rolling over the threshold and Bai Fei's rapid breathing in her ears.
"The door can't be opened!" Bai Fei frantically turned the door handle, his temples wet with nervousness.
The sound of glass breaking was heard from the second floor. The setting sun cast a distorted human figure on the lawn. The man actually jumped down directly through the glass on the second floor.
He was wearing a camouflage combat uniform, with almost his entire face covered, leaving only the eyes visible. His neck was at a strange angle, and he tilted his head to look at the two people who were blocked by the security door.
Liu Xia suppressed the dizziness in her head and fumbled around a few times before, with Bai Fei's help, she placed her finger on the fingerprint lock. With a click, the security door finally cracked open.
Liu Xia pulled the iron door open, and Bai Fei also moved at the same time, trying to quickly push the wheelchair out of the door.
But the man behind him obviously did not intend to let the two escape like this. He moved his feet and rushed towards the gate quickly. The dagger in his hand was reflected in the faint light of the setting sun, and he slashed at Bai Fei who was closer to him.
Liu Xia tried hard to control his body that was about to lose consciousness, and suddenly pulled Bai Fei away. He supported himself with one leg and tore hard with both hands in front of him. The man seemed to sense the danger and quickly took a step back, but the dagger in his hand was still torn apart by an invisible force, and a pool of scarlet blood mixed with metal fragments scattered on the ground.
The camouflaged man had a wound on his arm so deep that the bone was visible. He looked at Liu Xia warily, as if he was unsure if this girl in the wheelchair had any invisible sharp weapon on her body that could have caused such a deep wound with just a slight scratch.
Bai Fei saw that the man retreated and did not dare to move forward for a moment, so he immediately rushed forward again, grabbed the wheelchair and pushed it hard out the door, rushing towards the car he drove when he came.
She no longer cared about the fear and doubt in her heart, and just wanted to get back to the car and leave.
Fortunately, the car was parked not far from the old house, and we arrived at the destination in just a few steps.
Liu Xia climbed into the car on one leg, blood slowly flowing from her nose. She didn't bother to wipe it off, but just stared at the gate of the old house, the source of danger.
Bai Fei didn't even bother to retract the wheelchair, he just started the car engine, stepped on the accelerator with his foot, and the car rushed out like an arrow.
The increasingly intense impacts kept stimulating Liu Xia's brain until he could no longer hold on and completely lost consciousness.
…
Liu Xia suddenly felt her body being shaken violently. It was not until she opened her eyes completely that she found that the culprit was the anxious He Tianlin, and Ding Ruotong was also staring at her nervously beside her, and from time to time she used a rag that she got from somewhere to wipe her face.
This was a feeling I had never experienced before, probably a side effect of being forced to stay in the real world.
Liu Xia was relieving her headache while thinking about her real-life experiences.
"Who is that guy in camouflage? He doesn't look like he's from the same group as the first group that entered the old house. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any need to come in two groups."
"Luckily, Feifei started the car before she lost consciousness. As long as we leave the sparsely populated old house, we should be safe for the time being. After all, we live in a society ruled by law. No matter how lawless those people are, they wouldn't dare to do anything so blatantly."
After thinking about this, Liu Xia focused his attention on his current situation and found that there was a strong smell of rust in his nose and mouth, which made him very uncomfortable.
"I'm fine." Liu Xia sat up and rubbed his dizzy forehead. His muscles were trembling with pain. Seeing the anxious looks of the two people, he couldn't help but smile. "If you keep shaking me, I'm going to pass out again."
He Tianlin stood beside Liu Xia and looked at her with concern.
This was the first time the two saw Liu Xia's body convulsing while in a coma, and he even vomited blood for the first time. Such abnormal behavior made people very uneasy.
