Chapter 21 Crisis

  After watching the three people leave, the middle-aged security guard closed the door and his face became even more gloomy. Then, a chilling and eerie laughter echoed in the dark room, with a hint of madness and hysteria.

  "Liang Jing, and all of you people in the house, just wait and see! Isn't this current state of mine caused by all of you? I won't let any of you have a good time!"

  "Who made you not help me at first and then despise and mock me afterwards."

  "As long as you're all dead, then no one in this world will know about this matter. Don't blame me, it's all because of you, you asked for it!"

  The middle-aged security guard has completely lost his mind and is extremely vicious.

  ……………

  Knock knock knock...

  A soft knock at the door sounded outside. Before that, Liang Jing, who had keen senses, already knew it was Yang Yu Yuan outside.

  Yang Yu Yuan had just comforted everyone, and then he rushed to find Liang Jing. He felt that the current Liang Jing was unpredictable, like two different people before and after the apocalypse, both familiar and strange. For now, he needed to stabilize Liang Jing first, or else who knows what would happen next.

  "What's the matter?" Liang Jing opened the door to let Yang Yuwen enter, and after his eyes got used to the darkness, he could still make out the general outline of a person from the starlight that squeezed in through the window gap.

  "Jing, I think we should have a good talk and communicate with each other. Everyone should know what the other person is thinking..."

  "Yu Yuan, I know what you want, but all I can say is that there won't be a next time! As long as they don't provoke me, I won't take the initiative to attack." Liang Jing directly interrupted Yang Yu Yuan's words. He knew what Yang Yu Yuan wanted to say - for everyone to understand each other's thoughts and work together as a team to survive in this dangerous and cruel world. However, he had already made up his mind to leave the team tomorrow, so everything was pointless anyway, and he could only use this to interrupt Yang Yu Yuan.

  "If nothing else happens, let's take a rest. This night is too long and there are the most nocturnal mutant creatures lurking outside. Who knows what will happen next? Let's talk about it if something comes up."

  Yang Youyuan's eyes shone brightly in the dark, as if trying to see Liang Jing clearly. In the end, he could only shake his head and walk out the door. Since the other party didn't want to have a good talk, and had already given one of the answers they wanted, and since they had issued an order to leave, he couldn't linger any longer. He thought to himself that there were things to discuss properly tomorrow anyway.

  Watching Yang Yu Yuan leave, Liang Jing let out a sigh. Yang Yu Yuan's abilities were not bad, it was just that he was too kind-hearted. Sometimes Liang Jing couldn't bear to refuse him, and in comparison with him, she herself seemed like a stark contrast.

  The distant night sky remained unchanged, but the houses lit up by firelight became the target of attack for many mutated monsters. For a time, the sound of human screams and curses filled the air, as well as the howling and screeching of various mutated monsters, which soon disappeared, leaving only the faint and distant cries of the monsters echoing in the darkness. The flickering flames that dotted the landscape also slowly died out.

  It seems that the civilized world of human beings has passed, and now it is a bloody and cruel survival of the fittest. Those who are not adapted can only be eliminated and annihilated. There is no more conspiracy or calculation, but only naked exploitation and brutal collision.

  Night, extremely dangerous and terrifying...

  It's okay, Yang Yuanyuan had already instructed everyone not to light fires or speak loudly, lest they attract the attention of the mutated creatures and bring disaster upon themselves. Otherwise, their fate would not be much better than those people who were engulfed in flames earlier.

  ……………

  In a dimly lit room, four people surrounded a shallow basin placed on the table, who were the security guards.

  A middle-aged security guard held a 20-centimeter-long dagger in his hand, emitting a snowy glow in the dark night, looking very sharp.

  "Have you all thought it through? Are you ready?" The middle-aged security guard looked up at the other three and said.

  "Hmm..."

  "Ready!"

  "Li Lao Da, let's get started right away and take down Liang Jing."

  "Alright, I'll go first, then one by one, you come next." As he spoke, the middle-aged security guard gritted his teeth and with a trembling right hand holding a dagger, cut towards his left hand, intending to let blood.

  The middle-aged man seemed to be somewhat afraid, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and cut off Liang Jing's face, towards the contemptuous and disgusted eyes of the crowd.

  "Ah..."

  The pain was vented out with a loud cry, and the wound was stared at with a trembling gaze. Only to see that the left wrist was flowing with dark red blood, after about half a minute, the middle-aged security guard handed the dagger to Hei Cu, and he himself took out the prepared alcohol cotton balls to stop bleeding and disinfect, finally wrapping the wound with torn cloth.

  "Next, you with the black thick one, you come first, be a bit braver."

  He glanced at the blood-stained dagger in his hand, then looked around at the crowd beside him. He steeled himself and, mimicking the middle-aged security guard, slashed the dagger towards his left hand. Blood gushed out...

  The two remaining people couldn't help but look at each other, seemingly a little afraid. Under the urging of the first two, they finally gritted their teeth and overcame their fear, taking action. Before long, all four were done, and the basin was filled with quite a bit of fresh blood.

  "Hurry... this basin of blood can't be left here for long, those terrifying monsters are very sensitive to the smell of blood, hurry up to the rooftop!" The middle-aged security guard urged excitedly.

  "Move... the obstacles on the black thick rooftop have all been removed, hurry up. Ma Gang and Xiao Bo, you don't need to go anymore, there are too many people, it's not good to squeeze together and escape later." The door leading to the rooftop had already been barricaded by Yang Yuanyuan and others with furniture in the afternoon.

  "Li Lao Da, come with me..." Hei Cu.

  On the rooftop.

  The middle-aged security guard held the bloody basin with both hands, gave a signal to Hei Cu (Black Thick) to go first, then walked quietly towards the edge...

  Below is Liang Jing's room window.

  The middle-aged security guard glanced down at the window below, his mouth corners filled with a ruthless cold smile. If one could see his face clearly at this moment, they would discover that his complexion was both crazily venomous and slightly neurotic.

  Finally, he took a look at the black thick from the stairs, these fools really think that the mutant monsters will only deal with Liang Jing alone? Will Liang Jing resist the monsters rushing into the room alone until death? At that time, one of them ran away, hehe... gaga...

  The middle-aged security guard held up the basin of blood, just about to splash it onto Liang Jing's window, when a black shadow suddenly flew from one side and pounced on the security guard's face. The security guard let out a startled cry as his hands seemed to be violently struck by something, causing him to loosen his grip, and the basin of blood fell straight down.

  *thud*...

  A basin filled with blood fell to the ground with a loud crash, and fresh blood splattered out. The windows on the first floor were splashed with not a small amount of it, and for a time, the smell of blood filled the air...

  That is the room of three girls, directly opposite Liang Jing's room on the second floor.

  The middle-aged security guard was stunned for a moment, looked at the scene below, his face changed, and finally sneered silently, you three bitches deserved it!

  Although it didn't hit the target directly, I believe the effect won't be bad, and might even be better - killing two birds with one stone! Just thinking about it makes me smile even more.

  Buzz buzz buzz......

  No good!

  Listening to the monster's howl, the middle-aged security guard suddenly reacted and quickly walked towards the staircase.

  A loud crash was heard from downstairs, and Liang Jing suddenly sat up in bed, grabbing the short knife beside him with his right hand, wanting to see what was going on, whether it was a person or a mutated monster that caused it.

  Almost immediately afterwards, with a gust of wind blowing in through the ventilating window came a bloody smell, and Liang Jing's face changed at once. Something was wrong!

  At this time, the room downstairs also made a noise, as if it had been awakened too. Liang Jing looked even more terrible, with bloodstains and noises...

  Finished! Can't you be a bit more discreet with your voice and movements? Are you really looking for trouble?!

  Looking out the window, all he saw was the dark sky outside with black shadows flashing by, and mutated mosquitoes buzzing around. There were also other flying creatures that couldn't be seen clearly under the starlight. Even mutated rats on the ground were approaching. At this moment, Liang Jing only had one thought in his mind: it's over!

  Hooooo... Buzz buzz buzz...

  Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp...

  Ah...

  Ah...

  Two shrill cries came from the room downstairs, filling the night air with intense piercing power.

  It's not suitable to stay here for long!

  Jiang Jing was packing his mountaineering bag in the room, listening to the screams from downstairs. His eyes involuntarily revealed a struggle. Now he didn't even want to find out what had happened, just wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. But upon hearing the screams from downstairs, he hesitated. Leaving like this would be unsettling.

  Finally, Liang Jing gritted his teeth and put down the backpack, wearing a silver-gray helmet and gloves, holding a short knife in his right hand, opening the door and walking quickly away. It was for them to do something last, also counted as a friend.

  It's really impossible, let's just give up!
