Chapter 41 The Eyes Outside the Cellar
Author: Zhuge Wanjun
What Li Ang was thinking of was the fist sword that appeared in the game in his previous life.
It can be fixed on the wrist, and the fist sword can be slashed, and its function is equivalent to that of a one-handed sword.
In this way, Li Ang can not only use the warrior's one-handed weapon skills, but also use the octopus tentacles at any time.
It's just that modifying weapons is a big job, and currently Li Ang doesn't have the conditions.
In the middle of the night, Pompeii woke up as promised.
Although Li Ang does not feel tired now, he has not rested for two days after all.
I plan to return to the research institute in the future, so I must seize this last opportunity to recharge my batteries.
During the day, Xiyuan Town was much more lively, perhaps because the children were back.
From morning to night there are the sounds of children playing and laughing.
From time to time, there were rapid footsteps passing above the cellar, which made people nervous.
Fortunately, some urban residents will take control and keep the children away from the burnt and dangerous areas.
Leon and Pompeii did not dare to take it lightly.
During the day, the residents of Xiyuan Town have a large range of activities, especially in the cellars where footsteps often pass by, making them unable to "speak freely" as they can at night.
Pompei's hearing was stronger than that of Li Ang, and he was almost always tense.
Alice looked at the words and saw that both her father and Uncle Pompeii were doing something very important.
He just hugged Li Ang's arm and didn't let go, his eyes blinked like a pendant, without any complaints.
The sunlight outside shines through the cracks in the cellar's wooden boards, and a few rays of sunlight shine in.
Depending on the intensity and angle of the sunlight, you can tell the time outside.
As the sun tilts and the light softens, the tense day is about to pass.
Always be alert to the movement outside, and be careful throughout the day to ensure that you don't make any noise. This kind of hiding is a kind of torture for Pompeii and Leon.
Fortunately, this torture will be over soon.
Just when they both breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly there was another sound of footsteps outside the cellar.
This time the pace was brisk and the sound he made was hasty and vain.
Pompeii glanced at Leon.
During a day of vigilance, the two also practiced how to distinguish footsteps.
The current pace is probably that of a child.
It doesn't matter to you, no one will look at the cellar entrance.
But it's hard to say that with children, they are curious about everything and often behave in ways that adults cannot understand.
A shadow fell over the cellar entrance, blocking out the light.
This shadow is like a pair of big dark hands, blocking their exit from life.
The darkness became increasingly intense, completely blocking the gap.
The foot stepped on the cellar board and made a screeching sound, like the devil's ridicule.
Li Ang had already raised the black stone shield and one-handed sword in his hands.
Once exposed, he must rush out with Alice and Pompeii as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the night watchmen and militiamen from Xiyuan Town would be completely blocked here.
It would not be a problem for Li Ang to leave alone, but it would be difficult to take care of a child and a wounded person.
After the depression above his head stayed for a moment, his steps moved again.
The darkness and depression blocking their heads disappeared instantly, which also made Li Ang and Pompei breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Alice gently shook Li Ang's arm and pointed to the cover above the cellar.
I saw a pair of eyes sticking to the gap in the cover, staring closely below.
His face was covered by a cover, and everything was reflected in black.
Only a pair of eyes were shining with dazzling energy, as if they had seen something incredible.
Leon and Pompeii were struck by lightning.
A pair of eyes outside the cellar completely broke the tranquility of Xiyuan Town.
Pompeii pinched his throat and whispered: "Leave this man alone, don't let him call for help!"
As Pompeii spoke, his eyes gradually retreated, but his figure became more obvious under the outline of the sun.
squeak!
The cover of the cellar was lifted, and the sunlight shone on it, completely outlining its childish shape.
Pompeii and Li Ang were dazzled by the sudden light and subconsciously raised their hands to block it.
Alice stared straight at it, not affected in any way.
Pompeii covered his eyes with his hands, but lowered his voice and said tearfully: "Quickly, stop him, don't be violent..."
But before Pompei finished speaking, Li Ang had already reached out and blocked the guy's mouth.
At this moment, he had completely adapted to the light, and saw the child who opened the cellar cover. He looked quite familiar.
The next second, Li Ang suddenly realized.
This child was the one he saved by hiding with bed boards and sheets on the night of the invasion!
When the child saw Li Ang, his eyes were filled with joy. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "Are you hungry?"
Pompeii, whose mouth was covered, heard this and stopped struggling.
His eyes kept switching back and forth between the little boy and Li Ang.
"If we can have food and water, that would be the best."
Last night's food had been divided among the three of them, and what they urgently needed now was water.
The little boy nodded: "Okay, then wait a moment."
After that, he put down the cover and put some weeds on the cover to cover it up.
The hurried footsteps gradually faded away amidst the creaking of the cover.
At this time, Pompeii hurriedly asked: "What is going on? You let this kid run away like this. Is it out of kindness? You will plunge us into eternal disaster..."
Li Ang paused and said, "I choose to believe it. When I was in Xiyuan Town, I found a little boy hiding under the bed in the house. When other residents of Xiyuan Town saw me, they all screamed loudly, but only the little boy was obedient.
He didn't make any sound. Then I covered the room a little, and he survived."
"You saved his life. So he is repaying your kindness today?"
Li Ang nodded, stood up and walked under the cover, seeming to be talking to himself or to Pompeii.
"Although I choose to believe it, I still have to make other preparations."
After resting in Xiyuan Town for more than a day, both Li Ang and Pompei were almost rested.
My energy has been replenished and my wounds have scabbed over.
Now someone in Xiyuan Town has discovered them, and too much contact will definitely reveal their flaws.
"We'll leave tonight."
Pompeii immediately agreed: "I agree. After all, he is just a child, and it is inevitable that his flaws will be exposed. If he is discovered by other people in the town to be harboring monsters, I wonder what the residents of the town will think of him~"
Pompeii smiled to himself.
Even if it is not my own subjective will, as a dark creature, it is an indisputable fact.
Human beings are more accustomed to judging people by their appearance, and will easily define others or be stubborn in their own opinions.
Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard again.
The weeds on the overhead cover were swept away, and the boy opened the cover and carried a cargo basket.
"I can only get so much at first. I'll steal some of the rest when they fall asleep at night."
Perhaps because of Li Ang's size, the boy subconsciously felt that the food he brought was not enough for three people.
"Thank you. But no, we plan to leave at night."
The boy was a little absent-minded. They just met, but what he heard was the news of separation.
"Then...can I know your name?" The boy clenched his trousers with his hands, feeling a little confused.
"Leon."
