Just as Lu Ke was lost in confusion, there was a soft knock on the door.
Lu Ke suddenly got up from the ground and went to the door.
In her mind... the person knocking on the door right now must be her father, who has gone out to find food!
But as she gripped the doorknob, a question suddenly crossed Lu Ke's mind.
She remembered... that her father had taken his keys with him when he went out...
Lu Ke calmed down a little and slowly moved closer to the peephole.
Let's see who's outside before opening the door...
Then, through the peephole, Lu Ke saw another eyeball peering inside.
...
Chapter 115 Rolling Eyes, Awakening!
"what!"
Lu Ke gasped in surprise, and startled, she instinctively backed away and collapsed to the ground.
Those bloodshot eyes looked exceptionally terrifying.
That's definitely not my father!
"Xiao Ke...is that you?"
Just then, a soft call came from outside the door. The somewhat husky male voice seemed to sound familiar to Lu Ke.
She mustered her courage and walked to the door again, hesitated for a moment, and then looked through the peephole once more.
There stood a fat, slovenly man in front of her door.
Lu Ke knew this man; he lived in the room across the hall and often stared at her with strange eyes. Whenever she happened to run into him on the stairwell, she would subconsciously quicken her pace.
Although they lived across the hall from each other, Lu Ke didn't even know the man's name... So what did this man want when he knocked on her door at this time?
Lu Ke's intuition told her... it probably wasn't a good thing.
However, Lu Ke, who was not going to pay attention to the man at the door, suddenly froze on the spot after seeing the food that the man took out from behind his back.
"I know... Lu Ke, you haven't eaten in a long time, have you?" The man's voice carried a hint of temptation. "But... I still have quite a bit of food left at home."
Lu Ke stared in silence at the instant noodles dangling in the other person's hand, her stomach rumbling reflexively.
"It must be hard to go hungry," the man outside said with a hint of sympathy. "So... I couldn't bear it, so I decided to help Lu Ke and your family. Quick... open the door, I'll help you carry the food inside."
Through the peephole, Lu Ke could see the man outside had turned to the side, and behind him... was a whole box of food.
"Th...thank you..."
Lu Ke said softly.
"You're welcome... so please open the door quickly..."
"Thank you for your kindness, but... please leave the food outside the door, I'll bring it in myself in a bit."
Lu Ke spoke slowly, and the man's voice outside the door abruptly stopped.
She wasn't some clueless naive girl; the saying "one should always be wary of others" was a wise saying that existed even before the apocalypse.
Especially now... she now bears the responsibility of her younger brother's life.
"Well... okay then."
After an eerie silence lasted for a while, the man outside the door spoke.
Then... under Lu Ke's gaze through the peephole, the man left the food and closed the door.
However... Lu Ke did not open the door immediately, even though the box of food outside looked very tempting.
Anyone who would willingly hand over precious food in a post-apocalyptic world... must have no good intentions.
Despite knowing this, Lu Ke still had to risk trying.
After all... food is what she and her brother need most right now.
So Lu Ke peered out through the peephole at the door... She wasn't in a hurry to take back the food in front of the door.
Opposite her, the man was making the same gesture as Lu Ke, his eyes filled with barely suppressed desire.
This is a contest between... the fish and the fisherman.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ke, unable to hold on any longer, finally couldn't help but gently open the door.
Her body was very weak from not eating for a long time, and she was starting to feel dizzy as she kept watching the movements outside the door.
Lu Ke knew... she couldn't delay any longer.
She moved quickly, and the moment the door opened, half of her body had already peeked out, and her little hand had already touched the cardboard box.
However, Lu Ke's little hands did not linger on the cardboard box for long. She knew very well that it would be very difficult to take the box away by herself... Her goal was clear: to take some of the food inside the box directly.
With her speed, even if the other party was observing her the whole time, they would definitely not be able to react in time.
Sure enough, when a strange noise came from inside the opposite door, Lu Ke's hand had already touched the food.
"what!"
However, the girl who touched the food suddenly let out a shrill scream.
An unprecedented, excruciating pain shot through her fingers. Startled by the sudden blow, Lu Ke stared wide-eyed at her small hand... only to see a mousetrap clamped tightly around her finger.
"Duang!"
The door opposite opened with a thud, and a man walked out with a sinister grin on his face.
Lu Ke slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with deep fear.
Young Lu Ke never imagined that... the other party could predict her thoughts in advance and carry out such cruel methods.
Just as Lu Ke, who had just pulled her hand back despite the excruciating pain, was about to close the door, a rough, large hand had already grabbed the doorknob. The weak Lu Ke had no chance to resist.
Then, to Lu Ke's frightened gaze, the man stood before her.
"This young lady is quite shrewd, but she's still too naive compared to me."
Looking at Lu Ke's pained expression, the man revealed an expression of toying with his prey.
"Don't come any closer... Dad, Dad will be here in a minute..."
Lu Ke spoke, feigning composure.
"Haha, who are you trying to fool?" the man said with a look of disdain. "Your father? He's probably already dead out there."
Lu Ke's face turned pale instantly; the man in front of her seemed to have been observing their family's situation the whole time.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The man looked Lu Ke up and down. Although the girl looked haggard, she still had a delicate face. "As long as you do some fun things with me, you won't have to go hungry anymore. By the way, your mother seems to be quite good-looking too. I'll go find your mother after I've had my fill of you."
Then, the excited and wicked man could no longer restrain himself and pounced on the panicked Lu Ke.
"do not want!"
Lu Ke instinctively let out a scream, then endured the excruciating pain in her hand and dodged to the side.
The man missed his target, but he didn't seem to care... Instead, he watched with great interest as Lu Ke slowly moved backward, seemingly becoming even more excited.
"Who are you? Don't you dare bully my sister!"
At that moment, Lu Xiaotian suddenly popped out from the side and grabbed the man's trouser leg tightly.
"Get out of my way, you brat! I'll show you right now how I'm going to toy with your own sister!"
The man kicked Lu Xiaotian away and continued walking towards Lu Ke with greedy eyes.
"what!"
The man let out a scream. He stared wide-eyed at the little kid at his feet who was biting his leg tightly. With a furious expression, he reached out and grabbed Lu Xiaotian by the neck, wanting to throw him away.
To his surprise, this little brat had an unexpectedly strong bite.
Then, enraged, the man grabbed the kettle from the coffee table and smashed it mercilessly over Lu Xiaotian's head.
"Xiao Tian!!!"
Amid Lu Ke's trembling screams, her beloved younger brother collapsed heavily to the ground, lifeless.
At that moment, her heart seemed to lose its ability to beat.
"saliva!"
The man spat casually, ruthlessly kicked Lu Xiaotian aside, his eyes filled with a violent aura.
He grinned as he looked at Lu Ke, who had lowered his head and seemed to have given up resisting.
"You're really asking for trouble. If you just behave and listen to me, none of this will happen."
Then, the man paused, looking at Lu Ke with some surprise as she slowly raised her head.
The girl's eyes had turned as white as snow without her noticing.
Just as the man was about to pounce on her, Lu Ke, expressionless, swiftly extended her finger and touched the man's chest.
Just then, Ye Xinglu and Saber arrived at Lu Ke's apartment, following the screams.
He stepped through the open door, looked at the scene unfolding in the living room, and sighed softly...
It seems... I've arrived at just the right time...
...
Chapter 116 I can...do anything
The man's large body crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
His expression remained unchanged, still showing the ugly look he had just made, as if he had no idea what had happened.
The man remained motionless after falling to the ground.
