[I am currently in the middle of the text. I woke up a few times in the middle of the night after being bitten by a cat. I am very sleepy and it is affecting my progress …]
One side of the glass door of the police station was already broken. The door on the right was only left with a sharp glass stub. It shone in the night. This was the first time Lin Sanjiu saw the public security bureau so ecstatic. She hurriedly used her body to push the door open and shouted at Hu Changzai, "Get in!" Without turning his head, he kicked away a duoluozhong that pounced at him. At the same time, he suffered a cut on his leg.
Hu Changzai stumbled and rolled into the hall on the first floor. The sharp buzzing followed closely behind him.
"Go and find something to block the door. I will hold them off for a while!" Lin Sanjiu said as she held the metal bar and blocked the door. Hu Changzai knew that this was not the time to be courteous. He dragged his injured leg and rushed into the room on the first floor. After a while, he pulled out a meeting table.
To be honest, Lin Sanjiu's calves and stomach were spinning when she saw the duoluozhong swarming toward her like a tidal wave. When she saw Hu Changzai, she quickly deflected a mouthpart that was aimed at her face. Then, she leaped over the glass door and used the meeting table to block the door.
The table under his palm was immediately shaken back and forth by the mouthparts' banging sounds.
"No, this table won't last long … Let's go upstairs!" Lin Sanjiu shouted. Although they couldn't escape even if they ran upstairs, this was the only way out at the moment.
Hu Changzai did not dare to delay any further. He limped and followed Lin Sanjiu up the stairs. When they reached the second floor, they heard a loud crash downstairs. The table had been flipped over.
Both of them looked at each other. Both of them felt their chests tighten.
"Should we hide in the room?" Hu Changzai ran as he lost blood. His face was frighteningly pale. He really couldn't run anymore, "We might be able to escape from the outer wall."
"This is the only way." Lin Sanjiu nodded and rushed into the corridor.
The first room in the corridor was a water room without a door. The second room was the Department of Household Registration, but the door had been destroyed by something, so it could not be used. She glanced around and found that the door of the third room was still intact. It was slightly ajar, and there was a crack in it. She was overjoyed and shouted, "Here!"
Then, he hurried over and pushed the door open.
The two tall duoluozhongs in the room turned their heads at the same time and looked at her.
In an instant, the two of them froze, unable to move.
The two duoluozhongs were males when they were alive. Each of them was at least 1.8 meters tall. They had consumed a lot of humans. Their skin was plump, and their muscles were taut. Their mouthparts were shockingly thick. Compared to the ocean of their kind outside, they looked much more dangerous. At this distance, a simple swipe of their mouthparts could kill the two of them.
However, in the next second, the two duoluozhongs turned their heads away at the same time and stared at each other.
Huh?
In the blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu's back was drenched in cold sweat. She calmed herself down and realized that the two duoluozhongs in the room were staring at each other ferociously. Their eyes refused to look in their direction.
Between them was an overturned office table, a pile of blood-stained documents, and … a golden-orange collar. The collar glowed warmly on the dirty floor. It looked out of place against the dilapidated surroundings.
Lin Sanjiu immediately understood what it was and why the two duoluozhongs were behaving like that. A thought flashed through her mind. Then, she did something that made Hu Changzai's jaw drop.
"Come in. Close the door." Lin Sanjiu stepped into the room and gave the order without turning her head around.
Just as Hu Changzai was about to blurt out, "Are you crazy?", she realized that the two duoluozhongs were still motionless. The room was not big. She was only a few steps away from the duoluozhong by the door. However, the duoluozhong only tensed its muscles, but its eyes did not even move. It continued to stare at each other.
"The thing on the floor is a 'Special Item' unique to the New World … It seems like both of them want this collar for themselves. They are afraid that the other party will take advantage of it. I'm afraid that they won't be able to care about us now." Even though Lin Sanjiu wasn't usually very smart, the more dangerous the situation was, the more quick-witted she became. At this moment, she didn't even think of lowering her voice. Instead, she laughed out loud, "Gentlemen, we are here to hide. We won't do anything. Don't worry, let's continue! "
Lin Sanjiu spoke nicely, but her body was on high alert. She gripped her metal rod tightly and walked slowly to a metal cabinet with a grave expression. She stuck close to the wall and slowly walked to a metal cabinet.
The duoluozhong with the tattoo of a Descended Tiger on its arm snorted coldly. However, it didn't move.
Hu Changzai could tell that Lin Sanjiu had made the right bet. He immediately closed the door and stood beside her cautiously.
"Get out!" The duoluozhongs closest to them couldn't stand it anymore.
Lin Sanjiu looked at its motionless back and said softly, "Guys, I'm sure you can guess that we have no choice but to come in. If we don't come in, we will die outside. You guys can continue with your standoff. I understand that if you make the slightest mistake, the ring might be taken away by the other duoluozhongs. If we can get what we want, I promise I won't disturb you. "
"Such courage …" If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, Hu Changzai would have praised her as a heroine.
Lin Sanjiu listened carefully. She could already hear the sound of messy footsteps and the "squeak" of the sticky skin of the duoluozhongs as they walked.
The eyebrows of the two duoluozhongs knitted tightly together.
"Our pursuers will be here soon. If they swarm in, you won't be able to deal with them, right? What should we do now? They are all duoluozhongs. Why don't you tell them that there is no one inside? " Lin Sanjiu's tone was a little rascally. She then gestured to Hu Changzai with her chin, "Hey, bandage your leg."
She was confident that the two duoluozhongs wouldn't allow such a large group of people to rush in.
Sure enough, just as she finished speaking, the door of the room was slammed by a mouthpart from the outside. Immediately after that, the two duoluozhongs in the room let out a high-pitched and sharp buzzing sound at the same time. Then, a few faint cries came from outside the door. The buzzing continued for a few minutes. When the room became quiet again, there was no sound from outside.
It seemed that just like the difference in combat between posthumans, the duoluozhongs were also divided into different levels.
"Get lost now!" Even though the duoluozhongs did not turn around, their tone had become much more ruthless.
"Okay, okay. We will leave immediately after my partner's leg is bandaged …" Lin Sanjiu said as she squatted down to examine the wound on Hu Changzai's leg. Hu Changzai raised his head gratefully, "I'm fine. Let's go. This is not a good place to stay for long."
His tone suddenly became sluggish. He realized that Lin Sanjiu was silently mouthing to him.
"You run first. Go downstairs."
She mouthed to him a few times. Finally, he nodded his head, full of doubt.
"Alright, I'm done bandaging your leg," Lin Sanjiu said as she helped Hu Changzai up. "Thank you for your help. We will take our leave now."
Naturally, the two duoluozhongs did not reply. They did not even move their eyes away from each other.
Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips and suppressed the anxiety in her heart, which felt like she was walking on a tightrope. Only Hu Changzai, who was standing beside her, could see the expression on her face. His heart immediately started pounding.
When she opened the door, there was not a single duoluozhong in the corridor outside.
Lin Sanjiu gave Hu Changzai a gentle push. The latter immediately understood and ran toward the stairs without a second's delay.
"Um … I was just curious." Lin Sanjiu turned around. She could feel that her palms were sweaty. "What did you guys do just now? Why did all the other duoluozhongs leave so quickly?"
One of the duoluozhongs hissed impatiently. Even though it did not move, Lin Sanjiu did not want an answer. She just wanted a small opening in their minds.
A card quickly shot into the air. When it reached the top of the collar, it suddenly shot up and then fell down heavily.
When the collar was hit by the force, it instantly turned into a cloud of golden orange-colored light spots. Very quickly, the light spots fused into the card. Before the duoluozhongs could react, the card flew back to Lin Sanjiu. Once the card was in her hand, she immediately ran. She had rehearsed this plan countless times in her mind, but she did not expect that she would actually get the collar!
