Chapter 81 Owl(1/2)
At this time, the shrill howling sounds outside were heard one after another, and there were already people tragically dying and missing, and none of them dared to walk out of the outdoors.
The only one who can remain calm is Chen Xiao and a few companions. After all, Chen Xiao, Xu Ershao, Bai Cai and others have experienced kidnapping, and their psychological tolerance is stronger. Xiao Qing has practiced martial arts since she was a child, so her demeanor is naturally different from that of ordinary people, and Ji... Well, Ji Ji doesn't seem to understand what's going on now.
The first floor of the villa was like a hotel lobby. Although there were howling outside at this moment, from the sound position, it seemed that the unknown beasts did not seem to be approaching immediately...
"light!"
Xiao Qing suddenly said this!
This sentence immediately reminded Chen Xiao.
Yes! Lights!
No matter for any wild beast, lights and fire are always something that wild beasts are naturally afraid of! After this prompt, Chen Xiao immediately ran over quickly and turned on all the light switches behind the villa lobby in one breath.
Not only in the villa lobby, but also the open-air lampposts outside the villa were all lit up.
Soon, it seemed that it was responding to Chen Xiao's actions. The howling sounds outside became a little more fearful, and it seemed that the sound was moving away and retreating.
"Everyone goes to the tool room!" Chen Xiao made a decision, holding Ji Yi in his hand, and leading everyone along the corridor on the side of the hall to start running towards the tool room.
The tool room is indeed the only relatively closed room here, as the staff said. The tool room is located on one side of the villa, only about ten steps away, and is a separate room. The door is an embedded steel floor safety door, which is said to have certain fireproof functions. It should be very sturdy.
The room is not big, only about twenty square meters, and there are many cleaning tools, buckets, brooms, mops, vacuum cleaners on a row of tool racks. There are also some gardening tools, shovels, weed killers, etc., as well as some storage water pipes and spare lines.
After rummaging for a while, Chen Xiao finally found something that he thought was useful. First, there were a few thick work clothes. It was already midnight now, and it was still quite cold on the island in the lake. He distributed several work clothes to the girls. There was also a flashlight... Now everyone can get one.
As for the shovel, he took one by himself and another for Xu Ershao to take it, which could be used as a weapon if necessary. He glanced at Xiao Qing when he was allocating weapons and signaled with his eyes, but Xiao Qing just smiled faintly, indicating that he didn't need it.
The only hidden danger lies in the windows.
The windows of the tool room are not big, and as the staff introduced, there is indeed a row of iron fences set up on the windows. However, in Chen Xiao's opinion, the row of iron fences is far from solid enough! The iron fence, which is only the size of a finger, can have a defensive ability in front of large beasts, which is questionable.
Chen Xiao thought for a while. He worked with several men to move the shelves in the room to block the windows - although the tool shelves are also framed, at least they are better than nothing.
After a while, the howling sounds around seemed to have finally subsided, but the room was still full of panic. Some people still called back and forth with their phones. Even though they knew the signal had been cut off, they still did such a futile thing, as if trying to seize even a glimmer of hope.
Chen Xiao sat in the corner of the wall. He picked up the map on the island and looked carefully. Xu Ershao stared at him next to him, with a little uneasy in his eyes...
Sure enough, about half an hour passed, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
Chen Xiao stood up and glanced at everyone: "From now on, everyone must stay here, no one should leave!"
He said this, but he walked towards the door. He looked back at Xu Ershao: "Xiao Xu, you stay here. From now on, everyone must obey your command. Remember, no one is allowed to leave here, hold on here, and wait until dawn! I guess those strange animals should not dare to move during the day, and they may be safe after dawn. No matter what, hold on for a few hours!"
"What about you...what are you? Do you want to..." Xu Ershou strode over and grabbed Chen Xiao's arm.
"I'll go out to find someone!" Chen Xiao's expression was very firm: "No matter what, Xiao Jin and Lu Xiaoxiao came with us! You can't throw them away and ignore them!"
After hearing this, Xu Ershao's face changed. He stared at Chen Xiao's eyes and immediately said, "Okay! I'll go with you! You can't do it alone!"
"Stop making trouble!" Chen Xiao suddenly became angry. He suddenly pushed Xu Ershao to the ground with force and roared in a low voice: "Xiao Xu! Now is not the time to act loyally! Your skills are not as good as me, and it is useless to go! I need to be the leader here! There are so many people here... need a leader! You go, where is the cabbage? Where is the kid? Could you leave them here?"
As he said that, he winked at Xu Ershu.
The other staff members, regardless of gender, were panicked. Chen Xiao was worried about throwing his female companion here with these panicked people - God knows what people will do in panic.
"I..." Bai Cai was about to say that she wanted to go with Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao had already glared at her without hesitation: "Shut up! Bai Cai!" Then his voice softened a little: "I know you want to help, so please ask you to help me take care of Ji Yi here and take care of everyone."
Xu Ershao saw a trace of exclusivity in his best friend's eyes. He knew that Chen Xiao would never change his mind.
"Then... I should be qualified to go with you."
Xiao Qing, who was speechless next to him, suddenly said this quietly.
"You?" Chen Xiao glanced at Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing smiled faintly, her eyes bright: "Don't forget, your skills are far worse than mine. If you can go, why can't I?"
In this way, Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing left the tool room. Before leaving, Ji Ji seemed to finally feel a little inappropriate: "Chen Xiao...you..."
"Stay here." Chen Xiao smiled softly, hugged Jae gently, and touched her hair: "I'll go out to find something, you have to be obedient. Do you know what Xiao Xu and Baicai said?"
As he said that, he came to Ji Ji's ear, lowered his voice and reminded him: "If you encounter danger, discharge the electricity!"
"Where are we going?" Walked out of the tool room and walked back to the villa hall along the corridor. Xiao Qing followed Chen Xiao and suddenly asked this question.
"Go back to the room first, I'll get a few things."
In Chen Xiao's room, he quickly took out his suitcase. Under Xiao Qing's curious eyes, Chen Xiao changed into a pair of black leather boots, brought a headset and one-eye glasses, and put on a leather jacket.
"It's a pity that the parallel stock suit does not have offensive weapons." Chen Xiao was a little depressed. He glanced at Xiao Qing: "There must be a kitchen here. Let's go find a knife."
"Knife? No need."
Xiao Qing suddenly wanted to turn around, pinched out his belt buckle with one hand, and pulled it hard...
Swish!
After seeing a cold light, Xiao Qingdi had already added a slender sword in his hand! The metal texture of the sword seemed to be of some kind of mild steel, as thin as a piece of paper!
"Soft Sword?" Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
"I have always carried it with me." Xiao Qing didn't seem to want to say more.
Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Qing and didn't ask anything else, took out the map and spread it out.
"Look, I've been thinking just now that there are large beasts on this island. There must be a nest! But we just had only the idea of finding the missing person, but we didn't care about this. I've looked at the map carefully. There is indeed a cave on the island under that hillside, but the cave is very small and marked on the map. During the development, the cave was processed and now used as a wine cellar in the resort..."
"Wine cellar?" Xiao Qing frowned: "Have you seen that place when we were looking for it just now?"
"We didn't go. But other staff members have searched there and said that no missing person was found... But the problem is, I always feel that if there are caves on the island of beasts, then this place seems to be the best choice - for beasts."
Xiao Qing was silent for a while: "Then what are you waiting for? Go."
As soon as the two walked out of the room, they suddenly heard a "slam" sound!
The two of them changed slightly! This was clearly the sound of the glass window shattering, and the sound came from the upstairs!
"It seems that those wild beasts can't stand it anymore." Chen Xiao said quickly: "The lights can't scare them for too long! They have begun to forcefully break into the villa!"
"It's like hunting?" Xiao Qing sneered.
The two rushed to the stairs and ran back to the hall. But they saw that the glass door in the hall had broken. There were still some footprints stained with soil on the ground. The footprints were very big, with about three petals of fingers.
"They are in! Let's go!" Chen Xiao finished speaking. He pulled Xiao Qing's hand and rushed out of the door quickly and came to the barbecue rack outside. Chen Xiao suddenly felt a move in his heart, took out the lighter from his pocket, and threw it into the barbecue stove quickly...
boom!
The flames quickly rushed out. Chen Xiao picked up a pile of barbecue charcoal stored on the ground and threw them in. Seeing that the flames were getting stronger, he bent down, grabbed the base of the barbecue stove, and lifted up a barbecue stove!
"Let's go! This thing is best to act as a torch, and it can also drive away wild animals." Chen Xiao smiled.
"I'm afraid it will attract those wild beasts instead." Xiao Qing sighed.
Chen Xiao stopped and said seriously: "I really think you should go back! Such a dangerous thing..."
"It seems you really want to deliberately pull those things away, right?" Xiao Qing smiled slightly, but shook her head: "Let's go, since I've come out with you, I won't go back. Besides... just a few beasts, I'm not afraid!"
Chen Xiao saw that Xiao Qing's eyes were unshakable, so he could only sigh: "Let's go, you can't go into the woods, let's walk along the lake."
He knew very well that it was too dangerous to enter the woods with so many wild beasts looking around, so it was better to walk along the lakeside. The terrain was a little empty, and if there were wild beasts attacks, they could still see clearly. Otherwise... humans would definitely not have wild beasts in the jungle to know how to use the environment.
The barbecue stove in his hand weighs a few kilograms, but for Chen Xiao’s C-level power superpower, although he can’t overturn the car now, he still walks very easily with such an object.
The lakeside is about ten meters away from the woods, and the shallow terrain is on the lakeside. The two walked carefully along the lakeside for about five minutes...
"Did you feel it?" Xiao Qing suddenly spoke.
"Well..." Chen Xiao nodded.
Just in the woods more than ten meters away, Chen Xiao vaguely felt a few black shadows rushing over quickly in the rustling leaves.
"Five." Xiao Qing frowned: "It seems that he has been following us all the time, but probably because he is afraid of the stove in your hand, so he dare not attack."
Chen Xiao held the stove in one hand and held the shovel in the other.
Although there was a handful of charcoal thrown in the stove, the fire could not be maintained forever. Fortunately, I soon arrived at the hillside.
The cave is on the side of the lake and is not difficult to find.
The cave was reorganized when it was developed, and an oval wooden door was left at the entrance of the cave, which is said to effectively prevent moisture from penetration. The cave was also repaved with wooden boards, creating a backlit space, which is suitable for storing some food and wine - it can be said to be a natural security room. After all, the electricity on the island is powered by a generator for drinks, so it is more power-saving than setting up an electric refrigeration warehouse.
The door of the wine cellar was not locked, so it was gently pushed open after opening the door bolt. The thick wooden door slowly opened, making a creaking sound. A faint cold air came out from inside, and there was a faint and strange smell in the air.
"Did you smell it? It seems...it's a little smelly?" Chen Xiao frowned: "Did the food inside go bad?"
The two of them had just walked into the cave less than half a meter when they suddenly heard a "bang" sound from inside!!
It seems like the sound of the wine bottle glass shattering?!
The two of them looked at each other and ran inside at the same time...
The cellar was not deep, and after running for more than a dozen steps, there was a circular space inside, and the walls were moisture-proof. A layer of wood was laid on the ground to prevent moisture, and the scene in front of the cave was:
A row of wine racks had been pushed down, and the ground was covered with broken wine bottles. All the wine was spilled out, and the air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol... and in addition...
"Where did the smell of smell just now come from?" Chen Xiao frowned, held the stove and shook it, searching around in the firelight.
At this moment, he suddenly felt Xiao Qing holding his breath behind him and poked his shoulder gently.
Xiao Qing's voice was a little nervous: "Above!"
Chen Xiao looked up and saw a dark shadow curled up in the corner of the cave...
To be continued...
