Li Nan had been gone for twenty minutes, and Mo Xiaohui was crouched by the window, eager to witness Li Nan's heroic act.
When the flashlight on the eighth floor across the street lit up again, Mo Xiaohui was taken aback. Could the situation over there have changed?
The beam of light remained steady, aimed directly at the sky, and Mo Xiaohui watched intently from behind the window until the light was deliberately extinguished.
Mo Xiaohui knew that Li Nan must have gone up, which eased her mind. At that moment, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
Heavy footsteps echoed rhythmically on the stairs, accompanied by the sound of dripping water. Mo Xiaohui's heart tightened. "Could it be that Li Nan has returned?"
She hesitated; after all, the flashlight in the room across had just been turned off. If it was Li Nan who did that, how could he possibly return so quickly?
Mo Xiaohui tightened her grip on the Climbing Pick in her hand and silently thought, "I hope nothing has happened!"
The footsteps outside grew clearer, and suddenly a loud knock echoed through the door!
Crouched beneath the window, Mo Xiaohui trembled, and that knock confirmed her suspicion: the visitor was definitely not Li Nan!
"If it’s not Li Nan, then who could it be?" Mo Xiaohui wondered to herself. The door in their room couldn't even be locked, and Li Nan never knocked.
Suddenly, a thought struck her. She had been in this neighborhood for three or four days without seeing any outsiders. Since Li Nan had gone to look for that Survivor in the building across, could it be that person had come looking for them?
With this thought, Mo Xiaohui felt slightly calmer. Not everyone was a bad person, and she preferred to believe that someone seeking help meant no harm. Overcoming her fear, she slowly stood up and moved toward the front door.
Mo Xiaohui's footsteps were so light that the person outside didn't notice her at all. Her light steps were not intentional; her mind was almost short-circuited at this moment—only instinctive reactions were guiding her actions.
The person behind the door gently knocked twice, unaware that someone was approaching. Immediately, he swung his arm, and a Fire Axe came crashing down.
With a loud clang, Mo Xiaohui's heart raced. It was clear now that the newcomer had no good intentions, at least not a hint of friendliness.
When the Fire Axe struck the security door, Mo Xiaohui instinctively stepped back. She realized she could no longer handle this situation on her own. If she had made some progress in dealing with Zombies during her days with Li Nan, it was only enough to handle one or two of them. But when it came to dealing with a living person, all she could rely on was her words. Yet in this world, could words stand up to fists?
Mo Xiaohui shuddered and quickly retreated to her room, tightly shutting the door behind her and hiding under the bed!
Under the bed, Mo Xiaohui clutched the Climbing Pick she had collected during the day, then closed her eyes tightly. All she could do was pray to the heavens, hoping that the intruder was a good person!
A frail man draped in a cloak raised a crimson Fire Axe and viciously struck at the front door. In less than a minute, he had created a large hole in the security door, big enough for a person to pass through.
The Cloaked Man seemed cautious; to ensure there were no ambushes waiting behind the door, he first extended the Fire Axe inside and swept it from side to side. Only after confirming it was clear did he crouch down and slip inside.
Once inside the house, the Cloaked Man began feeling along the walls before flipping on the light switch, instantly brightening the entire room.
Unlike an ordinary thief or robber who would first search through the house, he moved straight to the window in the living room and gazed across at the eighth floor!
He noticed that the beam of flashlight had disappeared and then revealed a wicked smile.
The Cloaked Man didn't pay much attention to what was happening across the way; after glancing briefly, he turned back into the house and called out in an extremely soft voice, "Little one, don't be afraid. I'm a good person. As long as you come out on your own, I won't harm you."
Hiding under her bed in her room, Mo Xiaohui felt goosebumps rise all over her body upon hearing his voice. Although she was kind-hearted, she wasn't naive; what good intentions could someone have who broke down a door? Mo Xiaohui absolutely couldn't imagine it. Therefore, she would never dare to come out!
The sinister voice lingered in the room, and after flipping open several doors, the Cloaked Man stepped into Mo Xiaohui's room.
"Little darling! You mustn't play hide and seek, or you'll lose terribly!"
Mo Xiaohui crouched under the bed, one hand gripping a Climbing Pick while the other covered her mouth, fearing that her breathing would attract the villain.
A pair of large feet stood at the foot of Mo Xiaohui's bed, dripping wet, and she could see clearly from under the bed, her eyes wide with fear.
At the man's feet lay the sharp edge of a Fire Axe, directly meeting Mo Xiaohui's gaze, casting a chilling light that made her shiver!
The man searched the room left and right, muttering, "That man won't come back to save you, so stop hiding. I've already seen you!"
This statement was clearly meant to deceive Mo Xiaohui, and from the man's footsteps, she could tell he had no idea she was there.
Suddenly, those large feet lifted off the ground, and Mo Xiaohui felt a pressure on her back. "Is that man getting on the bed?" Mo Xiaohui couldn't help but doubt. She had no idea what this man intended—was he a pervert or a criminal? Or perhaps both!
Clearly, Mo Xiaohui underestimated the depths of human depravity; however, this did not deter her desire to escape. One thing was certain: this man was not a good person!
Now, Mo Xiaohui regretted letting Li Nan go out. The person she had initially wanted to rescue had turned out to be a thug, something she absolutely could not accept!
Thinking about how there was now a big man lying on her bed made Mo Xiaohui feel a wave of malice. For the time being, she dared not come out and could only hold her breath under the bed, hoping that this plague would leave quickly after taking everything away!
At that moment, the man on the bed burst into laughter. "I noticed you when you entered this neighborhood. For three consecutive days, I observed your situation from across the building. Initially, I had my reservations; a strong man and a capable woman are indeed difficult to deal with! But I finally got my chance. That man's eyes seemed to have some issues; if I didn't take action in this situation, it would really be disrespectful to the gifts heaven sent me!"
The man shifted the topic and continued, "However, I didn't expect that man's eyes to be mostly fine, and he could still move freely. I originally intended to lure you into the building across the street, but since it has come to this, it doesn't matter. I came to find you myself, little beauty!"
Mo Xiaohui felt strange listening to the man talking to himself on the bed. Suddenly, a head cloaked in a dark hood poked out from under the bed, directly facing Mo Xiaohui's panicked eyes!
At that moment, Mo Xiaohui truly felt overwhelmed. She thought she could escape this calamity, but unexpectedly saw a blurry face hidden beneath a dark cloak, resembling the Grim Reaper from Western culture, wielding a scythe and hunting for souls!
Mo Xiaohui screamed in shock, while the face smiled widely, "I told you, if you play hide and seek with me, you'll lose terribly!"
In disbelief, Mo Xiaohui remembered she still had a Climbing Pick in her hand that could serve as a weapon for self-defense. She immediately swung it towards the face, but unfortunately, it moved back and jumped out, laughing loudly, "Do you want to climb out gracefully by yourself or be dragged out by me in a disgraceful manner?"
Grinding her teeth, Mo Xiaohui had already determined that this person was not good news. Rather than being at his mercy, she preferred to take them down together!
Resolute in her decision, Mo Xiaohui shouted anxiously, "If I climb out by myself, can you promise not to harm me?"
The man chuckled lewdly, "I won't make things difficult for a woman. I'm human too; I'm just here looking for food and supplies. As long as you don't mind me taking them, there will be no conflict of interest between us!"
Mo Xiaohui sneered inwardly. "If you really just want to take supplies, why do you insist on me climbing out?"
Understanding his deceptive ploy, she feigned weakness and said, "I just want to survive. I wasn't familiar with that man; I met him outside. He said I could survive here, so I followed him. Please don't harm me!"
"Alright! I'm not a murderer or a liar. As long as you climb out, I definitely won't harm you!"
Mo Xiaohui noticed that her movements were no longer within the man's line of sight. She immediately reached behind her waist with her right hand where she had hidden a scalpel given to her by Li Nan; it would definitely come in handy at a critical moment.
The man outside seemed more cautious. "Please throw out the Climbing Pick first!"
Mo Xiaohui lightly responded with an "mm," then tossed the Climbing Pick out onto the ground. At that moment, the man appeared somewhat satisfied, as if everything was under his control.
Mo Xiaohui slowly crawled out from under the bed and murmured, "Don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me..."
The Cloaked Man seemed quite pleased because he found that the woman under the bed was even more beautiful and charming than he had observed from a distance!
A smile crept onto the Cloaked Man's face as his large, calloused hands reached toward Mo Xiaohui's face.
Mo Xiaohui showed a shy expression and said dreamily, "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing much, I just want to touch your face because it is simply too captivating!"
Seeing that the man still held the Fire Axe in his left hand, Mo Xiaohui weakly grasped his left hand and said softly, "As long as you don't kill me, I will be your woman from now on!"
"Haha..." The Cloaked Man laughed heartily, gradually loosening his grip on the Fire Axe. Just then, Mo Xiaohui wrapped one arm around his neck, bringing her lips close to him while her other hand moved behind her back, suddenly revealing a flash of light!
