Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 717 Uninvited Guest

"Hey! Xiaoxue, you must stay alive..."

Li Qiuyu lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the zombies wandering outside, sighing a little.

If there hadn't been zombies outside, she might have gone out on impulse to look for Jiang Shixue. When she saw with her own eyes a strong fitness coach being easily eaten by a zombie, she knew that if nothing unexpected happened, she might never be able to leave this house.

Although the Internet is still connected and she can learn about the outside world, and she has some food stored at home, being trapped here is undoubtedly a slow death. Especially when she thinks of her daughter whose life or death is uncertain, she is awakened by nightmares every day.

"Roar--"

boom!
Suddenly, a strong zombie seemed to sense something. It quickly ran to the window and raised its head to stare at the window on the second floor.

Li Qiuyu was startled and quickly lowered the curtains, not daring to breathe.

Whizzing--

Faintly, Li Qiuyu seemed to hear a friction sound outside the wall.

She hurriedly and carefully came to another room. Through the window of this room, she could clearly see that the zombie was actually climbing the wall!

Although this zombie crawled slowly, it seemed that it really climbed up!

Li Qiuyu could clearly feel her heart pounding. She squatted down and slowly walked downstairs.

She didn't know if the zombie could climb up, nor did she know if the zombie could break the window or door, but she didn't dare to gamble.

"I can't die. Xiaoxue hasn't been found yet. I have to wait for her to come back home. I can't die!"

While encouraging herself in her heart, Li Qiuyu tiptoed to the entrance of the basement on the first floor, unlocked the electronic lock, and the basement door slowly opened, and she went in.

After successfully entering the basement, Li Qiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The door to this basement is very solid, and the zombies should not be able to open it. It can also block out smells, so the zombies may not be able to find her down there.

She had already moved all kinds of daily necessities into the basement, along with many photos. Seeing the photos of her dead husband and missing woman, Li Qiuyu couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

"Xiaoxue, it's because mommy doesn't have the ability to save you, don't blame mommy... Maybe it won't be long before mommy goes to accompany you - bah! No, Xiaoxue is not dead, if anyone dies, it will be me... If only someone could help Xiaoxue, save Xiaoxue, it would be great, but unfortunately I don't know anyone with such ability, otherwise I would be willing to do anything for you..."

Li Qiuyu was lost in thoughts.

"Drip-"

Suddenly, she heard a dripping sound outside the door.

This made Li Qiuyu stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically in an instant.

That's the sound of the electronic lock in the basement!
Not only can zombies enter her home, but they can also open the electronic lock? Are zombies so smart!

Fortunately, the zombies don't know the password. Without the password, it is impossible to open the electronic lock. Even if the lock is broken by force, the door cannot be opened...

However, just as Li Qiuyu was thinking this, the metal door suddenly made a "click" sound - the door opened!
“…It’s over!”

Li Qiuyu was completely dumbfounded. How could a zombie know the password to her basement door? She thought it was impossible. She was more inclined to believe that the electronic lock was broken and could be opened by pressing any button.

But anyway, the door did open. At this moment, she thought about killing herself. She didn't want to experience the feeling of being eaten alive by zombies.

However, when she thought that her daughter might come back, and if she died, her daughter would be eaten by zombies, her eyes immediately became determined.

"I can't commit suicide! I have to lock the zombies in! I can't leave any safety risks for Xiaoxue!"

Li Qiuyu planned to wait for the zombies to come in before closing the basement door!

She still thought that there must be something wrong with the electronic lock, which caused the zombies to open it with just two presses, but the door could still be locked from the inside with a mechanical lock. Without the key, it could not be opened from the inside or outside!
She just waited for the zombies to come in, then closed the door, locking both herself and the zombies inside!

Just when Li Qiuyu had made up her mind to die, the door opened, accompanied by a voice that she was very familiar with but could not believe.

"Mom! I'm back!"

"Xiaoxue?"

Seeing a familiar figure appear from the door, Li Qiuyu rubbed his eyes. Could this be a hallucination before death?
Seeing Li Qiuyu standing there blankly with a fruit knife in her hand, Jiang Shixue immediately ran over and pounced on Li Qiuyu.

clang--

The fruit knife fell to the ground. Smelling the faint milky scent on Jiang Shixue's body, Li Qiuyu grabbed Jiang Shixue's shoulders tightly.

"Xiaoxue? Is it really you, Xiaoxue? Am I dreaming?"

"It's me, I'm back safely! If you don't believe me, pinch yourself - it hurts! You pinched the wrong person!"

Jiang Shixue rolled her eyes.

"Wow...it's really Xiaoxue! I'm so glad you're okay! It's all mom's fault that she's incompetent and couldn't save you..."

After confirming that this was really her daughter Jiang Shixue, Li Qiuyu burst into tears instantly.

"It's okay, mom. It's a good thing that you don't come looking for me. In fact, I'm afraid you will come looking for me!"

Jiang Shixue comforted him repeatedly, then she broke free from Li Qiuyu's embrace and pointed at Wang Tao at the door and said:

"Mom, it was Brother Wang who saved me! He was also the one who brought me here to save you!"

Only then did Li Qiuyu realize that there was a burly man following Jiang Shixue, with a shiny black cat lying on his shoulder.

thump--

Li Qiuyu knelt down in front of Wang Tao and cried:
"Thank you for saving Xiaoxue, thank you..."

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Wang Tao waved his hand and gave Jiang Shixue a look. Jiang Shixue then pulled Li Qiuyu up.

"By the way, I have some supplies here. You can take whatever you need. Just leave some for us mother and daughter..."

Since Wang Tao saved Jiang Shixue, Li Qiuyu must express her gratitude. However, it is the end of the world now. In just a few days, money has depreciated to the point where it is no different from paper. Giving money is obviously not enough. But she still has some daily necessities at home, which are very precious in the end of the world. Wang Tao must need them.

But before Wang Tao could speak, Jiang Shixue spoke up:

"Mom, let's pack up and go with Brother Wang!"

"Huh? Where to go?"

Li Qiuyu asked subconsciously.

"Of course we're going to Big Brother Wang's house, but Big Brother Wang said he won't stay at home for long, and he will take us to the survivors' base when the time comes..."

Jiang Shixue explained.

In fact, the main reason why she wanted to follow Wang Tao was to become stronger. But to become stronger, she had to kill zombies, which was too dangerous. Looking at the haggard Li Qiuyu, she was afraid that Li Qiuyu would worry, so she didn't say much. "Let's go to Mr. Wang's house..."

Li Qiuyu subconsciously wanted to refuse, because she had seen a lot of dirty things in the past few days since the end of the world. It happened in their community.

The fitness coach who broke into a villa with his brute force and forced the woman to have sex with him, even broadcasting it live in the owner group so that the man who was far away could see it. The woman could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide in front of the camera after being humiliated for two days...

Although the hostess opened the door before she died and let the zombies in, and the male coach eventually turned into a zombie, the hostess's miserable condition had already been imprinted in Li Qiuyu's mind.

So now when she heard that she was going to a strange man's house, Li Qiuyu thought of this kind of dirty thing. It was not a question of whether she believed Wang Tao or not, but that the mother and daughter were both weak and both looked okay. If they went to a strange place, if someone had bad intentions, they would have no way to resist. She herself didn't care, at most she would die, but if her daughter suffered, she would definitely not be able to bear it...

"Brother Wang is a good man, don't worry, Mom!"

Jiang Shixue seemed to see Li Qiuyu's worry and spoke immediately.

"I'm not doubting Mr. Wang. I know he's a good person. I'm just... not used to living in someone else's house..."

Li Qiuyu shook her head repeatedly and made a lame excuse.

Jiang Shixue was about to explain when Wang Tao suddenly spoke.

"Let me dispel some rumors. I'm not a good person. So you have to go whether you want to or not."

"..."

Li Qiuyu opened her mouth and looked at Wang Tao's serious expression. She couldn't tell whether it was true or not. But she was indeed a little scared.

Jiang Shixue believed in Wang Tao very much. She didn't care about what Wang Tao said, but directly pulled Li Qiuyu's arm and asked Li Qiuyu to follow Wang Tao with her.

Wang Tao took a quick look at the supplies stored in the basement, then walked over and put them into his space backpack one by one.

This scene made Li Qiuyu dumbfounded again, but Jiang Shixue had already gotten used to it.

"These supplies are still yours. I'm just keeping them for you. See if you need anything else, and if there's no problem, you can go."

Wang Tao looked at the two girls and said.

"Brother Wang, wait a moment!"

Jiang Shixue immediately ran to her room.

Only Wang Tao and Li Qiuyu were left in the living room.

Li Qiuyu was very conflicted when facing the lifesaver of herself and her daughter. She was very grateful to Wang Tao, but she didn't really want to go with him, mainly because she was afraid that Jiang Shixue would be hurt. But Wang Tao's behavior obviously didn't allow them to bargain...

After struggling for a while, Li Qiuyu came to Wang Tao and whispered:
"Mr. Wang, thank you very much for saving us... But Xiaoxue has not yet entered society, she is relatively innocent and may not understand many things... I just hope she will not get hurt... If there is anything you need from me, just tell me..."

In this dangerous apocalypse, Wang Tao came all the way to rescue them, mother and daughter. Li Qiuyu didn't quite believe that he did it for no purpose.

Li Qiuyu has tried her best to be more tactful.

But they are all adults and naturally understand what it means.

Wang Tao was too lazy to explain too much, he just nodded.

This made Li Qiuyu feel cold in her heart. Sure enough, Wang Tao saved them for a purpose! No need to have any illusions anymore. I just hope that I am not out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth again...

Although Li Qiuyu was very worried, she still went to pack her things. Now they didn't dare to go out, so they could only listen to Wang Tao. They could only take it one step at a time.

Soon, the two girls packed up their things. Wang Tao put all the things into the space backpack one by one, and then took the two girls to the balcony.

Li Qiuyu saw the zombie that died on the second-floor balcony at a glance. The zombie had indeed climbed up, but it seemed to have been killed by Wang Tao. Its entire head was shattered, as if it had been shot in the head...

Just as Li Qiuyu was thinking about how Wang Tao killed the zombie, she suddenly felt a strong arm appear around her waist. Wang Tao directly hugged her waist.

Before she could say anything, she found herself suddenly lifted off the ground and actually flew!
Li Qiuyu was completely confused.

Looking at the villa getting smaller and smaller, Li Qiuyu suddenly felt dizzy. She subconsciously hugged Wang Tao tightly, buried her head in Wang Tao's arms and dared not look any more. But she had roughly understood in her heart that Wang Tao's strength was far beyond her imagination...

Jiang Shixue's eyes widened. Although she was a little afraid of heights, she was very envious of the idea of ​​flying. She didn't want to miss this rare opportunity and had to experience it.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the Xingfu Community.

Wang Tao held the two girls and landed directly on the roof of his building.

But after falling, Wang Tao suddenly frowned.

There were other people in the building, and there were quite a few of them, about ten or so. They were swearing and didn't seem like they were good people.

Wang Tao pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and found that Ding Yuqin and the bald locksmith were both fine, and he immediately felt relieved.

"There are some unexpected guests at home, you guys follow me."

After Wang Tao let go of Jiang Shixue and Li Qiuyu, he went downstairs, and the two women hurriedly followed.

……

"I don't know if Wang Tao will come back..."

Listening to the shouting and insults outside the door, Ding Yuqin's face was full of worry.

A group of people suddenly came last night and gained the locksmith's trust by tricking him into letting them in.

As soon as they came in, they went straight to the fifth floor, and their target was Ding Yuqin!
Fortunately, Ding Yuqin was very cautious and did not open the door to strangers, so their scam did not work. Then Ding Yuqin saw the private chat message in the community group and knew that this group of people was targeting her. Ding Yuqin was shocked and quickly locked the door and used the sofa to block the door to prevent them from coming in.

But it was not a solution to continue like this. If they were not afraid that the noise would attract zombies, the villains would have directly destroyed the door. If they were given more time, this door would definitely not be blocked...

Ding Yuqin suddenly felt a little regretful. She should have let Wang Tao in last time and exchanged phone numbers with each other.

Wang Tao said before that I could contact him if I had any problem. But now that I really had a problem, I couldn't contact Wang Tao...

Just when Ding Yuqin was regretting, the shouting and cursing outside gradually subsided and the group of people left.

Ding Yuqin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although her situation was temporary, it was still very stressful to have a group of people outside her home.

dong dong dong-

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

Ding Yuqin's heart rose to her throat again, but then a voice that was very familiar to her came out.

"Sister-in-law, open the door."

Ding Yuqin quickly looked through the peephole and found that it was Wang Tao outside the door. This time she opened the security door without saying a word.
