Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System
Chapter 41 Midnight Gunshots, Fishing in Troubled Waters
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoqing glanced at Qin Xu with a pitiful expression, then curled up like a wounded puppy, her eyes gradually becoming vacant.
"I wonder how long this rain will last."
Qin Xu stood up, went to the window and looked outside. The thunderstorm had turned into a downpour, and it looked like the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon.
He raised his hand and glanced at his watch; it was already past four in the afternoon.
Then he turned to Zhang Yanan, who was leaning against the headboard with her eyes closed, and said, "I'm going to lie down on the sofa outside for a while. Wake me up in three hours."
"Mm." Zhang Yanan nodded.
Qin Xu gave her a look, signaling her to stare at Lin Xiaoqing, who was curled up in a ball.
Then she took a thin blanket from the closet, went outside to lie down on the double sofa, and as soon as she closed her eyes, a feeling of exhaustion instantly washed over her, and she quickly entered a half-asleep, half-awake state.
He slept very restlessly, waking up every now and then, and even dreaming of Zhang Haiyang and Feng Wenlong, covered in blood, standing next to the sofa staring at him.
After waking up in a cold sweat, Qin Xu instinctively drew his dagger and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the sofa was empty.
He raised his wrist and glanced at it, realizing he had only slept for a little over an hour. He turned his head and glanced at the open bedroom door before lying back down.
.........
"Qin Xu, wake up, it's 7:30."
The sudden sound made Qin Xu, who was fast asleep, sit up abruptly. After opening his eyes, he realized that Zhang Yanan was standing two meters away.
"You've been asleep for over three hours, get up and eat something."
Qin Xu glanced into the kitchen and saw Lin Xiaoqing cooking inside. It seemed that she had been won over by Zhang Yanan.
After getting up and using the restroom, he went to the bedroom window and glanced outside. The rain hadn't stopped, but it had turned from heavy rain to moderate rain.
After observing for a few minutes.
He sat down at the outdoor table, where there was a bowl of noodle soup, a plate of ham slices, and a can of sardines in tomato sauce.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very tense.
Lin Xiaoqing held a bowl of noodle soup, eating it in small bites with her head down, occasionally stealing glances at Zhang Yanan and Qin Xu out of the corner of her eye.
Her face was swollen like a pig's head, and she grimaced in pain with every bite of noodles, but she dared not utter a single complaint against Zhang Yanan.
Because Zhang Yanan would really slap her hard until she completely gave in.
For some reason, she felt a strange sense of admiration for Zhang Yanan, and even felt a sense of satisfaction at the thought of being slapped.
"Could it be that I have masochistic tendencies?" she muttered to herself subconsciously.
Zhang Yanan, who was eating with her head down, naturally noticed Lin Xiaoqing's furtive glances and glared at her fiercely. "Just eat your food, why are you keeping glancing at me?"
"No...no." Lin Xiaoqing lowered her head in a panic, shoveling noodles into her mouth, not daring to steal glances at Zhang Yanan and Qin Xu anymore.
Qin Xu ignored the two people, just kept his head down and ate his food in big mouthfuls. He ate two bowls of noodle soup in one go before letting out a burp.
After sitting down on the sofa, he said to Zhang Yanan, "After you finish eating, hurry up and get some sleep. I'll wake you up at midnight to keep watch."
"Understood." Zhang Yanan nodded.
"Huh? Do we still need to keep watch?" Lin Xiaoqing, who was eating noodles with her head down, looked up at Qin Xu on the sofa with a puzzled expression.
"It's very safe here. My husband and I have never had to stay up all night."
"You can go to sleep." Qin Xu didn't intend to let a strange woman keep watch for him, as that would be tantamount to handing his life over to someone else.
He clearly knew how to survive in the apocalypse and was not an old pervert whose small mind could easily control his big-headed thinking.
"Oh, okay~" Lin Xiaoqing nodded and lowered her head to continue eating her noodle soup. It was good that she didn't have to keep watch at night; she didn't want to stay up all night.
after eating.
Lin Xiaoqing was in charge of clearing away the dishes.
Zhang Yanan washed up and went to her bedroom to rest.
.........
It was past 11 p.m.
Bang! Bang bang!
boom---!
Suddenly, a burst of intense gunfire rang out outside the window, followed by a deafening explosion. Qin Xu felt the floor shake.
"They're fighting?" He frowned, turned on his flashlight, and quickly ran into the bedroom. He opened the window and peeked out to look around.
In the bedroom, Zhang Yanan and Lin Xiaoqing were also awakened from their deep sleep.
Lin Xiaoqing was only wearing a loose pink nightgown, with nothing underneath, because she didn't like feeling any restriction when sleeping.
She wasn't fully awake yet, staring blankly at the night sky outside the window. "I think I just heard an explosion. Did I hear it wrong?"
Zhang Yanan, who was sleeping fully clothed, woke up and quickly got up to go to Qin Xu's side. She stuck her head out of the window and looked around in the direction of the gunshot.
At this moment, the rain has not stopped; a light drizzle is falling outside.
"It's Yue Shang Plaza. There's a fog and dozens of monsters inside." Qin Xu pointed to the Yue Shang Shopping Mall at the end of the commercial street.
The gunshots came from there, and as the gunshots rang out one after another, you could see the flames from the gun muzzles flashing in the darkness.
"Are the officials eliminating the monsters?" Zhang Yanan asked with a slight frown. In her understanding, ordinary people couldn't possibly have guns.
"I don't know." Qin Xu shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go and see if he could take advantage of the situation and complete two tasks.
"I'll go check on the situation. You two stay here." As he spoke, Qin Xu glanced at Lin Xiaoqing, who was sitting behind Zhang Yanan.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she pulled her neckline down very low, revealing a patch of white skin, but her expression was somewhat blank.
"Go ahead, be careful." Zhang Yanan didn't ask any more questions, just gave a word of advice.
"Um."
Qin Xu quickly left the bedroom, picked up his schoolbag from the sofa, and headed downstairs with a flashlight.
After arriving on the first floor, he first picked up a black raincoat from the shelf and put it on, then filled his empty backpack with food and water.
Then he pulled up the roller shutter and went out.
The night sky outside wasn't completely dark. After turning off his flashlight, Qin Xu adjusted to his surroundings after about ten seconds.
Gunshots were still ringing out intermittently from the Yue Shang Shopping Mall area, and screams and angry roars of monsters could be faintly heard in between.
With a slight thought, a sharp, azure blade appeared in his hand. He then carefully walked along the wall towards the Yue Shang Shopping Mall.
Five or six minutes later.
When he arrived at the entrance of Yue Shang Shopping Mall, the dark mall was completely silent. He didn't know whether all the people were dead or all the monsters were dead.
"Is it over yet?" Qin Xu muttered to himself, but he didn't go in immediately. Instead, he hid in a blind spot by the door and listened intently.
Especially at times like these, we must be extra careful to avoid making a fool of ourselves.
