"Bai Ling, go in quickly!" Lan Ke said, kicking the alien that was flying towards her back to the men's restroom. Then she followed closely and chopped the alien that was flying towards her into two halves with one knife!
The men's restroom was not big and one could see the end at a glance. Apart from the alien just killed, there was no other alien here. There was, however, a gnawed corpse on the ground.
After Lan Ke made sure there was no danger, he easily dug out the heart core and retreated.
The door of the women's restroom was still closed, so Lan Ke knocked on the door directly: "It's okay now, open the door."
Wu Meng carefully opened the door a crack, and when he saw that it was Lan Ke, he was obviously relieved: "Come in quickly!"
After Lan Ke went in, she found that there was actually another little girl in the restroom besides Wu Meng. The girl looked only three or four years old, skinny and small, hiding behind Wu Meng with only half of her head sticking out, looking at her timidly with a pair of big eyes.
Lan Ke felt a little embarrassed for once, as if she had scared the child.
"How long have you been hiding here?" Both Wu Meng and the little girl looked extremely tired and in a very bad mental state, as if they had been trapped here for quite some time.
As expected, Wu Meng sighed and said, "I took Xiaoyu out to the supermarket yesterday morning. I wanted to buy some food before dawn, but who knew a man-eating monster would appear! When the accident happened, I was taking Xiaoyu to the bathroom. I heard screams outside, so I locked the door and never dared to go out again."
"So you are pretty lucky." Lan Ke didn't know what to say. Isn't this mother too generous
The darkness had just ended and nothing was figured out yet, but he dared to take his three or four-year-old daughter out to the supermarket. How careless he was!
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to hide in the women's restroom and escape the disaster, otherwise they would have been dead.
Soon Bai Ling came out. Her face was still very pale, as if she was in pain. Lan Ke couldn't help but frowned when she saw her like this: "Can you still walk?"
"I can do it, Sister Lan." Bai Ling immediately perked up, "Sister Lan, they... are actually my relatives, and they live nearby. Sister Lan, can I... can you please send them back? I... I'll give you the heart core!"
"Five heart cores per person. Remember to give them to me when you have them." Lan Ke said in a light voice, "Let's go now."
Wu Meng looks similar to Bai Ling, both are thin and weak. She is also carrying a little girl of three or four years old. If she goes out, she will be eaten alive by the alien species in no time.
No matter how cruel Lan Ke's heart was, she couldn't just watch them die. But she was not alone, she was the captain of the team, and she couldn't do things based on her own preferences.
So Lan Ke led her people to meet up with Bai Hu and the others, and then she simply said, "They are Bai Ling's relatives, and they live nearby. Bai Ling is willing to pay 10 new cores to have someone escort them home. I agreed. What do you think?"
Bai Hu and the others looked at each other and nodded: "We all have no objection, let's go together."
"Okay, two heart cores per person. Pang Dahai, you are a temporary member, so you won't be counted. Is that ok?"
Pang Dahai hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm just making up the numbers, of course I have no objection!"
Lan Ke continued, "Okay, let's send them back first. Also, I'm going to say this today. If you want to save someone in the future, you can ask your teammates for help. You can negotiate the compensation yourself."
No one had any objection to this statement. They were not heartless people, but no one wanted to be a saint. Now that the rules were set, they didn't have to worry about a bad guy coming out in the future and asking them to save people at every turn. This was of course the best.
Wu Meng's house is really close, just across the street in the residential area, which makes it convenient for Lan Ke.
Everyone got on the truck, and then the car started and quickly drove into the residential area where Wu Meng lived and stopped downstairs of the unit where Wu Meng lived.
Her house was on the fourth floor, which wasn't very high. Bai Ling wanted to follow, but her condition was really bad, so Lan Ke simply let her stay in the car, and she and Sun Yong escorted Wu Meng and Fang Xiaoyu upstairs.
When going upstairs, Lan Ke walked in front, Wu Meng walked in the middle holding Fang Xiaoyu, and Sun Yong was responsible for the rear. Although the layout is also one floor four households, the space here is much more cramped than the high-end apartment where Lan Ke lives. There is no light in the corridor, which looks very gloomy.
Sun Yong held a flashlight and scanned the surroundings, fearing that some alien species would suddenly pounce. Wu Meng was even more frightened. She had lived here for many years, but she felt very strange.
Suddenly, Wu Meng screamed and pointed at the wall: "Ah! Blood! So much blood!"
Lan Ke and Sun Yong instinctively looked at the place she was pointing at. It was a splattered blood that had dried and changed color.
Sun Yong was immediately dissatisfied: "It's just a bloodstain, don't be so shocked, okay? Scaring people can kill them."
Wu Meng lowered her head in shame: "I'm sorry, I... I know I was wrong."
"Stop talking nonsense and catch up!" Lan Ke walked quickly in front, calling out to Wu Meng behind her while being alert to the movements around her.
Although she had not encountered any alien species until now, she always felt that something was stirring in the darkness.
Soon, they arrived safely at the fourth floor where Wu Meng lived. Wu Meng did not live alone, she lived with her husband and parents-in-law, a total of five people in the family.
Seeing the familiar "Fu" character on the door, Wu Meng was obviously relieved, and walked quickly forward to open the door with the key.
However, just as she took out the key, a roar suddenly came from inside the house: "I don't care, I won't let you go out to look for them! There are man-eating monsters everywhere outside, they must have been eaten by the monsters!"
"You're talking nonsense! They must still be alive! Get out of the way, I'm going out to find them! I'm going to get them back!" This was the voice of a young man.
"How dare you! I don't allow you to go, do you hear me? You just stay at home and don't go anywhere!" This was the woman who just roared.
"Mom, can you please get out of the way? Mengmeng and Xiaoyu are still waiting for me to pick them up at the supermarket. Don't be so unreasonable!"
"I won't let you out! I won't let you out anyway! They're already dead!"
"Impossible! I dreamed about them last night. They said they were waiting for me in the supermarket and wanted me to pick them up. Please, please let me go."
"I knew they were bad people. They refused to let you go even after they died. They even tried to trick you into staying with them! Those two unlucky people deserve to die outside! Bah, bah, bah, get out of here! Don't even think about harming my son!"
Lan Ke subconsciously looked at Wu Meng, only to see that she was completely dazed.
