Chapter 40: Hide Under the Bed
My breathing almost stopped. I instinctively covered my mouth and cried out loudly, not daring to say a word.
Because I found that she seemed not to see me.
The old lady's eyes were white and no pupils could be seen, as if she was blind.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was dry and sallow, with exposed veins wriggling like snakes under her skin. When the wind blew, it was unclear whether it was because of the cold or what, but her whole body was shaking slightly, like a ferocious cobra that would pounce at any time.
Is this Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother?
I looked at her nervously. I don't know why, but all the courage I had accumulated that day disappeared.
An indescribable fear spread throughout my body!
The wind is still blowing.
Sand mixed with concrete hit the glass, making a bang.
I don’t know how much time had passed. It seemed like a dozen seconds, or a few minutes, or even a century.
The old lady suddenly turned around stiffly, slowly bent down like a wolfhound, put her hands on the ground, and made a wheezing sound from her mouth.
She twisted her neck so exaggeratedly that I could even hear a sound like a bone breaking.
call!
Another gust of wind blew, and the old lady disappeared into the darkness...
I stared at the pitch-black environment for a long time. After confirming that she was really gone, I breathed a sigh of relief and closed the window very carefully.
The back was soaked with cold sweat.
It 's like a trip to hell.
I sat down on the ground. The sound of the wind outside was still there, and it seemed to be at the same frequency as my breathing.
Countless doubts flashed through my mind.
Is this Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother?
Why are her eyes like that?
Why is she lying on the ground?
Is it a disease, or...
boom!!!
A loud explosion interrupted my thoughts.
The door of Building D seemed to have been hit hard by something, and the lounge also began to shake slightly.
I was startled and quickly stood up from the ground.
what's the situation?
What's that outside the door?
boom! !!
There was another sound, as if a tank was rushing forward.
Outside, the dogs' barking grew louder and more ferocious.
BANG BANG BANG!!
The third one followed!
My heart trembled as well.
A terrible thought flashed through my mind - Cheng Xiaoyan's grandmother had returned!
No, or rather, she didn't leave at all!
The posture just now was clearly that of a sprinter about to exert force!
She tried to force her way in!!!
I was so shocked that I broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder Cheng Xiaoyan asked me to lock the door of Building D... I never thought that her grandmother would use this method to force her way into Building D...
boom!!!
With the fourth impact, the window shook and the powder on the wall began to fall down layer by layer.
I covered my ears and almost went crazy.
At this time, the impact sound disappeared...
Yes, it disappeared...
I was delighted. Have I given up?
However, before I could be happy, a few seconds later, a strange "crunching" sound replaced it...
“Crunch, crunch—”
It's a bit like someone rubbing a piece of glass on a blackboard; it's also a bit like a mouse gnawing at something hard...
Unable to suppress my curiosity any longer, I swallowed hard and slowly opened the window...
Whoosh!
The cold wind blew in mercilessly.
God knows why the air is as cold as ice on such a hot summer night.
I stretched out my neck, half of my head, and looked in the direction of the outer gate...
I could barely see a black mass, like a wild cat, half-kneeling on the ground, with its head tilted back, its hands raised and resting on the door lock, scratching it constantly...
Crunch!
Crunch!
This strange sound was made by it scratching!
I wondered what it was doing, and then I heard a clang, and the lock on the door fell to the ground...
I was totally stunned when I saw this scene.
Can it also unlock?
There was no time to think about it. This uninvited guest had gone to great lengths to get into Building D, so he must be up to no good. I put on my clothes, rushed to the door, and was about to go out when I suddenly remembered what Lao He and Cheng Xiaoyan had told me a few hours ago!
After 2 a.m., if you hear any noise, don't get up and don't open the door!
I had just halfway opened the door handle when I suddenly stopped.
Of course they won't hurt me.
He told me not to go out because he must have anticipated the danger outside.
Dadadadada——
At this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps was suddenly heard outside the corridor.
I couldn't help but take a look through the crack in the door, my face changed, and my heart almost stopped beating -
I saw that starting from the door, the sensor lights that were on began to go out one by one...
Like an extinguished candle, it keeps reaching towards me...
Snap!
Finally, the sensor light closest to me also disappeared. My heart tightened for no reason. I slammed the door shut and quickly locked it.
Dadadadada——
The sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
There is no regularity to the speed - sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
Finally, it stopped at my door...
I leaned my back against the door. I was so extremely frightened that I could hardly breathe. My mind was completely blank.
boom!
The door shook violently, apparently something had hit it.
I was so frightened by this sudden move that I almost jumped up.
boom!
There was another muffled sound.
Bang bang bang!
It seemed to be getting very frantic outside, knocking on the door harder and harder...
I was so nervous that I didn't dare make any sound. My heart was pounding and I was worried that the door would be kicked open.
After a while, the knocking on the door finally stopped.
Then, the footsteps slowly drifted away, as if they had already left.
Before I could relax my tense nerves, the footsteps came back again, followed by a creaking and rustling sound above the door.
I was suddenly startled.
What is it going to do?
Could it be... that he wanted to open the door of the lounge just like he opened the main door of Building D?
The thought made my hair stand on end.
Buzz buzz buzz——
At this moment, the cell phone vibrated.
It's a text message.
The sender of the text message was all strange gibberish.
The content is very short, only five words:
"Hide under the bed!"
I was stunned for a moment. Why did they ask me to hide under the bed?
Who is this guy?
Is that Liu Bin?
Snap!
Before I could think, the lock of the lounge door seemed to be twisted by something...
The door is about to be opened!
I was so anxious that I didn't have time to think about the meaning of the text message. I rushed to the bed and crawled under it.
Squeak——
The door opened.
A gust of cold air "squeezed" in from the door, instantly turning the originally warm lounge into a chilly place...
