Chapter 9 Wen’an City 9

 It’s around eight o’clock in the evening,

As the sky darkened, some dense, rustling sounds began to appear around.

The street lights are still on, and the orange lights attract the surrounding insects, bringing a little hope to the darkness.

There was a "bang" and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. The street lamps were knocked down by something unknown, and went out one by one, and darkness enveloped them again.

The meter-long black shadow climbed up the opposite residential building and crawled towards a bright window. Other bright windows were also smashed by something flying in the air.

Several black shadows flew towards Bai Xi. She quickly turned around and pressed the switch on the wall, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

Without the light, the black shadow adjusted its direction and flew to the side.

Others who respond slowly are not so lucky.

Under the shroud of darkness, there were frightened screams and helpless calls for help, as well as the crawling sounds of unknown creatures and the sounds of chewing bones and flesh lingering in the ears, making people feel chilled all over and their hands and feet trembled.

Bai Xi leaned against the corner to reduce her exposure to danger, and watched the movements inside and outside the house vigilantly.

As time passed by, the noise outside became louder and louder, and the black shadows began to bite each other. The noise was so loud that the doors and windows shook.

The fourth day of the game.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, the noise outside gradually subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This night was really scary.

At six o'clock, the sky gradually became brighter, and the dark shadows outside disappeared, leaving only a mess.

The exterior walls of residential buildings are full of scattered holes, broken glass windows, and deep scratches on the walls.

The building that was neat and brand-new yesterday has become dilapidated today.

The streets were littered with dried brown blood, scattered broken glass and unknown remains of severed limbs. There were also some sun visors or iron guardrails crumbling above the streets.

The movement last night scared many people, and everyone hid in the house and did not go out.

The survival rate has also dropped to 75%, and more than 20,000 people died last night.

The fifth day of the game.

Yesterday was spent peacefully, but at night, those dark shadows would come out and move.

Because the light was dark, Bai Xi could only deduce from the blurred shadows that the black shadows should be insect mutations similar to ants, and they were probably related to some kind of genetic medicine.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Xi was eating silently when there was a knock on the door.

"Little girl, are you there? Can you lend us some water? The water cut off was so sudden yesterday, and all the water we received was used up." The speaker was an old lady.

Bai Xi did not respond, nor did she have any desire to get up and look at the cat's eyes. She felt that the voice was a bit unnatural, and at this time, she did not dare to show kindness.

It is now the fifth day of the game, and everyone has stayed behind closed doors. The longest period has been four days, and the short period has been two or three days.

The food that can be eaten directly at home should be basically exhausted. The most important thing is that there is not much water and there is no way to cook the rice.

In the past two days, more and more people will be forced to go out in search of food and water. According to her previous experience of reading novels and playing games, this time is the most dangerous.

Man-made disasters are often more terrifying and violent than natural disasters.

The aunt outside the door received no response, and glanced fearfully at the taller, honest-looking man next to her.

The man raised his chin towards the door, signaling the aunt to continue knocking on the door.

The aunt continued to knock on the door, "Little girl, aunt knows you are here. You went out the day before yesterday. Please help aunt!

Everyone should help each other when encountering difficulties. If you remain silent like this, we will think something has happened to you."

Bai Xi in the room rolled her eyes and borrowed water whenever she could, accusing her of not helping each other. Why, they still wanted to rush in directly?

As expected, Bai Xi was not disappointed outside the door, as a sound of tinkering came from the door lock.

But Bai Xi didn't panic at all. The lock she changed not only had a manual internal lock, but her key was also locked and had not been removed.

The person who changed the lock told her that as long as the lock was locked without removing the key, people from the outside could not turn it and would not be able to get in.

Unless the door is smashed, security doors are not so easy to smash unless a sledgehammer or chainsaw is used to violently break the door.

But in this situation, where is it so easy to find tools, and the movement is very loud, what if it attracts monsters?

Outside the door, the honest man gave up after only a few minutes of tinkering. He was so unwilling that he even smashed the door.

The aunt's voice continued, "Little girl, your door is really strong. I'm relieved that you're not in danger. You need to pay more attention to safety in this situation."

After saying that, the two turned around and walked towards the fourth floor. In front of the door of another room, they repeated the same trick.

There are two girls living in this room together, but they are not as vigilant as Bai Xi, and they are easily forced into by honest men and aunts.

The two little girls were frightened. One of them was brave enough to grab something at hand and wanted to drive them out, but was stopped by the honest man.

He and the aunt restrained the two girls one by one. Although the aunt was older, her hands were quite strong.

Then, the girl's frightened cry for help sounded in the house.

The family next door turned a deaf ear and just ate in silence. The child wanted to say something, but grandma stuffed him with a mouthful of rice.

"Baby, eat quickly."

Grandma's untimely sudden concern, parents' silence and indifference, the child seemed to understand something, disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he imitated his parents' silence.

……

After the two left, Bai Xi's heart rang with alarm bells. These two people had bad intentions and would find her way sooner or later.

She walked to the window and took a look. Fortunately, she chose the third floor, which was only six meters above the ground. It should be easy to run.

Bai Xi took out the ropes prepared during the previous sweep from the space and compared them. They found that the lengths were roughly the same. She then looked for a secure place in the house where she could tie the ropes.

After determining the escape route, Bai Xi felt relieved and continued to warm up. Maintaining a good condition is the key to survival.

At this time, the survival rate dropped to 69%, and more than 10,000 people died.

Bai Xi did not dare to take it lightly and practiced silently, always paying attention to the movements around her.

On the sixth day of the game, the survival rate is 58%.

Auntie knocked on the door once in the morning, noon and evening, and she was able to get through it safely.

On the seventh day of the game, the survival rate is 43%.

During the day, more and more people went out to look for her. Bai Xi didn't have to go out because she had the inventory. Auntie continued to knock on the door three times a day.

On the eighth day of the game, the survival rate is 40%.

For today's breakfast, Bai Xi prepared a box of pure milk and bread for herself. Just as she was eating deliciously, there was a knock on the door from the aunt outside.

Compared to yesterday's gentle words and gentleness, today's one is more sinister.

"Little girl, open the door. I know you are here. You haven't gone out these days. Is there a lot of food in the house?
