Chapter 160 Knock Knock Knock

The bearded man and his wife spent the most unforgettable night.

First, the door was knocked after dark, which scared the two people who were lying in the quilt and preparing to go to sleep.

"Old man, who do you think is outside the door?" The woman asked in a low voice, shaking like a sieve.

Everyone who lives on this street knows that if there is something to talk about during the day, the door is closed at night.

Compared with zombies, they are more afraid of their own kind.

The bearded man did not answer, and rubbed his shaking hands around him.

After touching the cold sharp weapon, his heart stabilized.

The door was knocked again, and there was a strong force that would keep knocking until it came out.

The sound was not loud, but it seemed to knock on the heart.

"I'll go and see." The bearded man whispered.

The woman grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, and her voice was taut as a line, "You, you be careful."

The bearded man slapped her hand away.

He approached the door quietly and listened attentively.

"Knock knock--"

The sudden sound in his ear scared him and made him gasp.

The knocking stopped.

Apparently the person behind the door heard the noise.

"Brother, are you behind the door?"

Isn't this the voice of the person who robbed Lao Zhang's house? !

The bearded man was sweating coldly.

Why are they looking for him?

"Brother, we know you are behind." Some eerie words came from the gap in the door.

A tingling sensation climbed up his neck along his spine from the soles of his feet, as if a poisonous snake was entangled.

The bearded man's palms were full of cold sweat.

He swallowed hard, trying to make himself sound normal:

"Yes, we will talk about it tomorrow. We are asleep."

"It's too late tomorrow. Open the door and let's go in and talk."

"That won't work. We are already asleep."

The woman sneaked out of bed and squatted beside him, her heart beating so hard that it almost jumped out.

When she heard that the two men insisted on coming in, her hands and feet were cold, and her knees were weak and she sat down on the ground.

Those were two brutal men with superpowers!

Her husband couldn't beat them...

The scene of the tragic death of a woman she had seen before automatically appeared in front of her.

Faintly, she saw a face that looked like her lying in a pool of blood...

"Brother, don't worry, we don't have any idea about you, we just want to make a deal." The man outside the door took two deep breaths and tried to speak calmly.

"What deal? We have no money, no crystal core."

God bless them, let them go quickly.

The woman folded her hands and prayed continuously.

"If they force their way through the door later, I will hold them back, and you run to the safe zone." The bearded man leaned in and whispered.

"Then--"

The bearded man hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a breath: "Keep your voice down."

The woman was scared to death, her nose was sour and two lines of clear tears flowed out.

The holiday hotel is good, there are food and drinks inside.

But they can't live in it.

Boss Xia doesn't care about the outside.

Their life is as sad as in the base.

If they can live in the hotel...if they can...she is willing to pay any price...

"Okay, open the door, we can let you live in the hotel." The man behind the door finally got impatient and said the purpose of this trip.

What...?

The two were stunned.

Stay in the hotel?

"Open or not? If not, we will find someone else."

Open? Not open?

The two were unsure.

On one side were two lives that might be killed, and on the other side was the dream of staying in the hotel.

But the person outside the door obviously didn't have the patience to wait any longer.

There was a lot of room for maneuver in reserving the first place.

Go find the next person who will be the first.

The bearded man and his wife were half relieved and half puzzled when they heard that they were really leaving.

"Why don't we give it a try?"

The woman was also unsure.

After hearing that the two had really walked away, the bearded man made up his mind to open the door.

The moon was dark and windy, the moonlight was bright, the moonlight was like water, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, the old man under the moon...

The bearded man looked at the two people who were about to knock on another door and shouted softly: "Wait!"

The two turned around and showed a mocking expression.

"What, have you figured it out?"

The bearded man nodded, his eyes full of vigilance, "Are you telling the truth?"

He lowered his voice to avoid being heard by the neighbors.

"Come in and tell me."

The bearded man wanted to take a gamble.

The pointy-eared man and the pigtailed man looked at each other and turned back to the bearded man's house.

The two of them didn't hesitate and sat directly on the only bed in the house.

The bearded man half-hidden in front of the woman and asked cautiously:

"What you just said... is it true?"

"Yeah."

"But there are no vacancies in the holiday hotel. If there are..."

"Haven't you heard a saying, if there are no conditions, create them." The pointy-eared man scratched his ears and flicked his little finger casually, looking nonchalant.

The bearded man seemed to understand, his heart beating like a drum.

They were thinking...

"What do you want? Name a price, I'll see if I can afford it."

The pigtailed man on the side said, "Tell me a number."

This...

The bearded man and the woman looked at each other, not knowing how to give a price.

Seeing that the two were reluctant to speak, the long-eared man sneered and suggested:

"Hesitation? Just think about how many crystal cores your lives are worth, isn't the number easy to figure out?"

This is not just a scalper asking for an exorbitant price, it's a direct threat.

The bearded man gritted his teeth and quoted: "Ten first-level crystal cores."

"Save them for the journey." The two got up and left.

"No, no, no, aren't we negotiating the price? Let's talk about it again." The bearded man stood in front, a little flustered.

"No more time, one price, 6 second-level crystal cores." The long-eared man made a six-point gesture.

"This is too expensive! I don't have that many crystal cores!"

"If you don't have them, find a way yourself."

The long-eared man waved his arm away, and the two walked out.

The bearded man didn't stop them again, and watched them leave.

"Husband, do you think what they said is true?"

"... I don't know."

The two returned to the door just now, knocked a few times and said something, and the door opened.

The long-eared man looked back at him before entering the door, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

"They went in. Do you think that family will give 6 second-level crystal cores? It's too expensive."

The woman lay on the edge of the door with only her eyes exposed.

"If that family agrees, what's the use? We are the first to reserve. Even if there is a vacancy, we will move in first."

The bearded man heard her say that and thought it was the case.

It seems that there is no need to worry.

Let that family pay for the crystal core.

Anyway, I am the first in line.

The bearded man looked at the hotel covered with silver gauze, pulled the woman into the house and prepared to close the door.

But he didn't expect that the woman's sudden words made his scalp tingle and his heart and gallbladder break.

"As long as we don't move in, it's useless for others to pay for the crystal core. It's late, go to bed."

The woman locked the door and held his hand and found that the palm was full of cold sweat and the fingers were extremely cold.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

The bearded man turned back slowly like a machine, his eyes widened, full of fear.

"How can the second person get to the first place?"

"What's wrong with you? Is there any need to ask? Of course, it's to surpass the first one - you mean?!"

The woman also reacted.

"How dare they..."

The bearded man didn't have time to speak, and hurriedly opened the door, wanting to rush over to pull the two back.

But the two walked out of the door with smiles on their faces...
