When the wooden blocks collected by Du Jiujiu were ignited by Hu Xiaoyun's flame, the temperature in the room instantly rose several degrees, and the cold feeling was driven away.

Even though Du Jiujiu was not afraid of the cold, the feeling of dampness made her feel very uncomfortable.

Now that there was a bonfire, Du Jiujiu found two towels from his backpack. After handing one to Hu Xiaoyun, he sat by the fire and wiped his hair.

"I don't know when the injury on this face will heal..." Du Jiujiu muttered quietly as she looked at her own shadow reflected in the glass.

"It's probably because the venom secreted by the vines affects your healing ability, but don't worry, the wound has scabbed over and it should heal soon." Hu Xiaoyun patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.

Du Jiujiu nodded when she heard this. Although she didn't care much about her appearance, she didn't want to bear the strange eyes of others.

But as Hu Xiaoyun said, her wound had begun to itch, not only on her cheek, but also on her previously exposed thighs and arms. Presumably, this ugly appearance would not last long.

Hu Xiaoyun was warming his wet clothes in front of the campfire while rummaging through the food in his backpack.

Du Jiujiu took out a longer wooden stick from the bonfire and used it as a torch. Holding the wooden stick in one hand and a long knife in the other, she wanted to search the kitchen again to see if there was anything useful.

Pushing the kitchen door open, the breeze brought by the door blew up the dust that had accumulated for more than ten days, making Du Jiujiu couldn't help but sneeze.

Although it stung my nose, there was no rancid smell in the air as expected.

There were several kitchen knives stuck in various directions on the knife holder. Although they looked usable, the oil-stained handles made her have no desire to pick them up.

Several large stainless steel pots were placed messily on a simple wooden table, without even a vegetable leaf in them.

Du Jiujiu searched inside for a long time, but found nothing except a few packets of seasonings.

Although this store is small, it shouldn't have no reserves at all. It should at least have some fungus, vermicelli and other dry things, right?

Du Jiujiu was a little unwilling and rummaged through the cabinet under the stove, but still found nothing.

As he stood up, Du Jiujiu's peripheral vision suddenly glanced at the kitchen floor. Many black particles the size of rice grains were scattered on the greasy floor.

Just when Du Jiujiu brought the torch closer to see what it was, Hu Xiaoyun's voice suddenly came from outside the kitchen door.

"Jiujiu, don't look for it. We still have a lot of food. It's been a tiring day, so you should take a rest!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Du Jiujiu responded and took another look at the black particles.

"It's probably something dirty." Du Jiujiu thought to herself, not wanting to waste time on these useless things, she straightened up and walked out of the kitchen.

Hu Xiaoyun was sitting by the campfire at this time, using a few disposable chopsticks from the shop to insert the few remaining dried meats into the fire and roasting them. The aroma of meat with a slight burnt smell soon overflowed.

throughout the house.

Seeing Du Jiujiu come back, Hu Xiaoyun handed her a portion of the dried meat in his hand.

Du Jiujiu took the dried meat and took a bite. The burnt aroma instantly conquered her taste buds.

This dried meat is made of mutated dog meat, which not only increases the speed of recovery of superpowers, but also tastes much more fragrant than ordinary meat. It is roasted hot at this time, which adds a lot of points to it.

.

Du Jiujiu ate all the small amount of dried meat into his stomach in three or two mouthfuls, but his hunger did not ease much.

Although there is no food in the kitchen, the refrigerator next to the dining table is filled with drinks and mineral water.

Du Jiujiu then took out two bottles of Coke, unscrewed the cap and handed one to Hu Xiaoyun, then ate it with the compressed biscuits she had collected before, frowning.

It's still storming outside, but it's warm and cozy inside.

Accompanied by the crackling sound of burning wood, Hu Xiaoyun, whose nerves had been tense all day, fell into a deep sleep with his tired body after eating and drinking.

However, Du Jiujiu dared not fall asleep.

When we first arrived in this unfamiliar environment, without Xiaowen's mental detection, it was impossible to rule out all dangers with the naked eye alone.

What's more, there was also an indescribable weird feeling in this store, which gave Du Jiujiu a thorn in his heart.

Therefore, Du Jiujiu just closed her eyes and rested for a while, keeping the long knife at her hand. If anything abnormal happened, she would be able to launch a counterattack as soon as possible.

As time passed bit by bit, most of the wood blocks in the bonfire were burned out.

Du Jiujiu had nothing to do, so he moved the wooden table in the kitchen, lit it over the fire, chopped it into small pieces little by little with a long knife, and threw it into the bonfire.

With the addition of new fuel, the bonfire became vigorous again.

Du Jiujiu threw the last piece of wood in his hand, dusted off the sawdust on his body, stood up and prepared to lie down on the chair for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which was being slapped by raindrops.

Du Jiujiu's body suddenly stopped and he held his breath. All the muscles in his body tensed up instantly.

"Sister Xiaoyun, wake up quickly." Du Jiujiu picked up the long knife at hand and slowly approached the door while calling Hu Xiaoyun in a low voice.

Hu Xiaoyun didn't sleep too much. Hearing Du Jiujiu's shout, he sat up with a start.

"What's wrong!?"

Du Jiujiu didn't reply, but motioned her to look towards the door with his eyes.

It seems that I heard a sound inside the house, and the knock on the door began to ring again, but the sound became smaller and smaller.

Hu Xiaoyun also realized his rashness at this time, covered his mouth with both hands, and followed Du Jiujiu on tiptoe.

The room was not big, so Du Jiujiu quickly came to the door.

The doors of the shops in this row are all made of glass, and this one is no exception.

Although it was blocked by Du Jiujiu with several mats in the store, there were still a few rays of light shining outside through the gaps between the mats.

I guess it was this light that attracted this uninvited guest from outside.

Du Jiujiu slowly opened a corner of the mat and looked out carefully.

The heavy rain was still falling, and there was no light in the dark night sky. Du Jiujiu could only see a vague figure, probably a man based on his height.

"Open... open the door, please save me, I won't... hurt you."

The person outside the house seemed to see someone approaching, and spoke in a low voice. His voice was very weak, as if he had been seriously injured.
