Chapter 54 On the Eve of the Siege

The stars tore through the sky, blinking eerily in the darkness.

The moon is very bright tonight and the wind is not light.

A pair of siblings couldn't sleep, so they sat on a stone in front of Meng Xing's soon-to-be-completed garden.

Most of the street lights in the old city have been damaged, and the white street lights in the garden should be the only light source in this area.

The two of them cuddled together, staring at the lights in the garden in a daze, imagining what it would be like to live in the new city in the future.

The two siblings didn't notice that several pairs of scarlet eyes in the darkness were already staring at them.

There was a rustling sound in the darkness. My sister noticed something unusual and looked toward the dark end of the path.

The sound of "rustling" became louder.

Something was running fast on the cement road, and the sound was approaching them.

A black shadow flashed past, and the elder sister screamed in surprise and even protected her younger brother.

"ah!!!"

My sister screamed and her shoulder was already dripping with blood. If she didn't deal with it as soon as possible, she would die of excessive blood loss tonight.

The younger brother turned pale with fright, and saw the thing through his sister's arms.

A deep chill arose from the bottom of my heart.

The thing had black fur, stood on all fours, and swung its tail behind it, like a dog.

However, it is difficult to connect the thing's head with the creature of dog.

The head was densely covered with mouths, one of which was chewing the girl's flesh.

Between those mouths, two scarlet eyes were looking at the siblings greedily.

"Monster!"

The younger brother was so frightened that he trembled even as he spoke.

"Help!"

The sister hugged her brother tightly and let out heart-rending screams of terror that were particularly clear in the silent night.

Tielin, who was stationed in the center of the old city, suddenly opened his eyes, sprouted black hair all over his body, and ran towards Meng Xing Garden.

He was as fast as a mad cow.

"Go away! Go away! Please go away!"

The girl trembled and held the branch to threaten the monster.

The fear in her eyes was about to overflow, and the blood dripping from her shoulders could not be taken into consideration.

The monster seemed to be playing a game, like a cat and a mouse, teasing the two fleshy beasts in front of it.

Finally, the monster got tired of playing with it and couldn't stand the sweet smell of blood in front of him anymore, so it pounced on the girl.

"Goddam"

Tielin let out a loud roar, rushed from the street, and smashed the monster's head with one punch.

After dealing with the monsters, Tielin Lian checked the girl’s injuries:

"How are you?"

Unexpectedly, the monster's death angered the other hidden monsters.

In addition, more and more scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness at the intersection.

More than ten of these canine monsters have surrounded the siblings and Tielin.

Beads of nervous sweat ran down Tielin's temples.

It's not that he can't defeat these monsters.

These monsters are only F-level and can be killed with heavy firearms.

Mainly, he wanted to protect the two civilians behind him.

These monsters are not very intelligent. Several mouths on their faces are dripping with saliva. They would rather die than taste human flesh.

Tielin gradually retreated, almost sticking to the two siblings.

"Even a military attaché in the old city can save these siblings!"

Tielin gradually became resentful towards Wei Na.

One monster couldn't stand the temptation of flesh and blood and took the lead in attacking.

Tielin charged up and punched out, and the demon dog was knocked back dozens of meters, wailing sharply.

With this movement, the stalemate was broken, and the monsters rushed towards the three of them.

Tielin fought with more than a dozen demon dogs alone. Another demon dog had already targeted the siblings behind Tielin and rushed towards them from one side.

"Oops!"

Tielin was so anxious that he gave up attack and defense and pounced on the tiger, hugging tightly the demon dog that only wanted to eat the siblings.

The demon dogs bit at Tielin's back.

At this moment, an orange figure appeared out of nowhere and rushed toward the siblings.

Tielin's eyes almost burst when he saw another monster.

The siblings themselves were not saved.

However, the next scene surprised him.

The orange figure turned out to be a large orange cat, resembling a tiger.

The large orange cat made an intrusive meow, bit the neck of a demon dog in one bite, and clung to the two siblings.

His copper bell-like eyes stared intently at the group of demon dogs.

Immediately afterwards, two more large old cats ran on the roof, joining the battlefield very quickly and launching attacks on the demon dogs.

Although Tielin didn't understand why monsters protected humans, he didn't have time to think about it.

He no longer had any worries, and he killed all the demon dogs in three strokes.

Seeing that the demon dogs were all dead, the three big cats hunched over and pushed towards Tielin in the form of a bison.

Tielin became alert and prepared to take action.

An old voice sounded in the distance:

"Da Huang, Er Hei, San Mazi, come back."

The three big cats quickly shrank in size and became the size of normal wild cats, running towards a small courtyard.

Tielin looked up and saw a man in tattered clothes like a beggar standing on the wall of a farmyard.

How could he not understand that this was an awakened person, and it was this awakened person who saved the siblings just now.

Tielin cupped his fists at the old beggar:

"Thank you, senior, for taking the initiative!"

The old beggar raised his head, and the tiger mask on his face made Tielin's pupils shrink.

It's a hunter!

The old beggar waved his hand:

"Young man, I am also following orders. It's not peaceful recently, so go out less often."

After saying that, he held the three wild cats and disappeared into the night.

The old beggar's words made Tielin look a little unnatural, and a little shame surged from the bottom of his heart.

Acting on orders means naturally following the orders of the president and the guild.

The Hunter Guild can send strong men to guard the old city, but what about the Public Security Bureau?

The Public Security Bureau, which protects the safety of the people, actually withdrew all the sheriffs in the old city and strengthened the defense of the Public Security Bureau!

Tielin felt very uncomfortable and saluted seriously in the direction where the old beggar disappeared.

Then Tielin picked up the injured girl and ran towards the hospital.

The first light of dawn broke through the darkness and awakened the city.

People jogging began to appear on the road, parents holding their children's hands and walking to school, and office workers hurried on the road with bread in their mouths.

The aroma of car exhaust and fried dough sticks and soy milk intertwined together to form a busy taste.

Everything was as usual.

Meng Xing finished the last bite of fried dough sticks at a breakfast stall on the street.

"Boss, how much is it?"

The proprietress was staring at a passing red car and came back to her senses after hearing Meng Xing's voice.

She whispered, "It's so beautiful."

Then she walked quickly to Meng Xing's side:

"Little brother, six dollars and a half, six dollars for you."

Meng Xing took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the proprietress, then stood up and left.

"Come again next time, little brother."

Meng Xing stopped and nodded to her very seriously as a response.

A shrill air raid alarm sounded over Nanhai City.

Parents and their children ran to the nearest building in a panic.

The office workers stared at the sky blankly, their eyes full of fear.

Almost instantly, Nanhai City became chaotic.

The monsters began to attack the city.

Meng Xing walked towards Jinmu Coffee Shop with a blank expression on his face, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Compared with the panicked crowd around him, he looked particularly unique.

When I opened the door of Jinmu Coffee Shop, Linlin and Qingqing were already in the store. They greeted Meng Xing respectfully.

Meng Xing stared out the window in a daze, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear:

"I wonder how many people will die in Nanhai."

Ye Yunyun walked over and bowed slightly:

"Good morning, sir."

Meng Xing said softly:

"Close the door, it's windy."
