Chapter 120 Can you smell the fragrance?
The male insects in the room hesitated and dared not approach when they saw them like this.
"What...what did you see...what's going on outside?"
After a while, a male insect, with a trembling voice, asked Liu Yan and Lü Cheng, who were sitting on the ground.
Faced with his question, Liu Yan trembled and remained silent. His face was pale from the discomfort he had just experienced. Recalling the scene outside the door, he felt his stomach churning again.
Liu Yan raised his hand and covered his mouth forcefully, trying to suppress the emotions that had been aroused in his heart. His expression was somewhat painful, and his breathing was slightly rapid.
Lu Cheng, pale-faced and powerless, got up but still struggled to leave the doorway.
"Ah! Blood...so much blood is coming in!!"
Suddenly, a rather thin male insect pointed at the door behind Liu Yan, which had been closed again, cried out in alarm, and backed away in fear.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan suppressed his distress and turned around at the same time as Lü Cheng. Then, before the blood could stain his clothes, he quickly left through the doorway.
"Bang...bang bang..."
The closed door suddenly made a vibrating sound, as if someone was knocking hard from the outside.
"Quick! Quickly grab something and block the door!!"
The male insect that had previously blocked them suddenly spoke up and ordered its companions to pick up the furniture in the room and block the door.
Liu Yan and Lü Cheng reacted quickly and worked together to push the sofa to the door as a barrier.
The door began to vibrate incessantly from the continuous knocking, as if whatever was banging on it would burst through the door at any moment.
The male insects carrying the load, hearing the constant knocking sounds, became noticeably flustered.
But in their panic, none of the male insects noticed that this seemingly flimsy door, though constantly vibrating from the knocking,
But the door was simply closed, with no indication that it would be opened.
As the number of items piled up at the door gradually increased, the knocking gradually decreased. The male insects listened to the weakening knocking and their tense hearts slowly relaxed a little.
And so, several male insects, under the light of the room, fearfully huddled together, waiting for the sky outside the window to light up.
As the darkness outside the window gradually receded and was replaced by bright white, the male insects, who had fallen asleep at some point, also awoke one after another.
"Ugh... how did I fall asleep..."
Feeling the somewhat dazzling sunlight streaming in through the window, Liu Yan frowned slightly and propped himself up from the ground.
Lu Cheng, who was resting on the chair next to him, also slowly woke up. After the sounds outside the door gradually disappeared last night, he was so mentally exhausted that he unknowingly fell asleep next to him.
"Is it dawn? Have your personal computers received a signal?"
Lu Cheng also got up and turned around to ask. The other male insects who woke up one by one next to him looked away with some disappointment after receiving no answer from them.
"A whole night has passed, why haven't the female insects come to rescue us yet? Haven't they noticed we're missing?"
The one who spoke was the thinner male insect who had noticed the blood seeping in earlier. He looked uneasy, glancing at his companions on either side, his voice revealing a hint of panic.
"It seems so. There's no signal from the personal terminal, and no female insects have come looking for us for so long. It's possible they haven't realized we're missing yet."
Lu Cheng frowned as he answered, revealing his guess, his face as worried as Liu Yan's.
"What should we do now? I'm so scared, and I'm so hungry... Waaah... I want to go home, I don't want to be here, I want to find my father... Waaah..."
The youngest male insect, clutching its abdomen, sat fearfully in the corner, its eyes filled with dread as it cried.
"Stop crying! Who doesn't want to leave here? Do you think you're the only one who wants to? You're so annoying! Shut up!"
The male insect that had previously directed them to block the entrance was now bristling with annoyance as he berated him, but perhaps influenced by his emotions, a hint of fear also appeared in his eyes.
"Can you smell anything...?"
One of the male insects, which had been silent all along, suddenly opened its nostrils and spoke, instantly attracting the attention of the other male insects.
"What's that smell? Wait a minute..."
Liu Yan asked in confusion, but suddenly stopped, because he too had smelled a faint fragrance, it was...
"It tastes like dessert?!"
Lu Cheng stated Liu Yan's conjecture with certainty, exchanged a glance with him, and looked at him with doubt and confusion in his eyes.
They blocked the door like this, and there were corpses outside, so how could there suddenly be a dessert smell inside the room?
The remaining male insects also smelled the fragrance and involuntarily stood up, starting to search the room.
But yesterday they had already moved all the items in the room that could be used to block the door. The room, which was already very messy, was now completely searchable.
The male insects searched but found nothing; they did not discover the source of the fragrance.
"The scent seems...it seems to be coming from outside the door, the scent is strongest near the entrance..."
The male insect, which was the first to smell the fragrance, stood by the door, sniffing lightly, and then spoke again about its discovery.
Liu Yan and Lü Cheng also leaned closer to sniff, and were surprised to find that the fragrance at the door was indeed the strongest.
"How about... we open the door and take a look? There doesn't seem to be any noise outside anymore..."
Liu Yan spoke up, glancing at the male insects behind him to ask for their opinions.
"No, I disagree! What if the assailant is still outside?"
What if this fragrance... is just them deliberately trying to lure us into opening the door?
What if we open the door and they come in and kill us?!
The male insect that suggested blocking the entrance was the first to object, and then gave his guess and reasons.
"But since the middle of the night, it's been quiet outside, and we haven't eaten anything since last night. I'm so hungry..."
The younger male insect, sobbing slightly, spoke of his hunger; he hadn't eaten anything before going to play games the day before.
After leaving the club, he originally wanted to find a place to eat, but he ended up here by accident. It can be said that among these male insects, he was the smallest and the hungriest.
“Zhang Bochao, calm down and think about it from a different perspective. If these perpetrators really wanted to get in, why did they just knock on the door instead of using any weapons?”
Do you really think they don't have any weapons to break down the door?
It was just an ordinary wooden door. If they really wanted to break in, there were many ways. But they neither smashed the door nor forced their way in; they just knocked. Doesn't that say something?
Lu Cheng first offered a reassuring explanation to the agitated Zhang Bochao, and then shared his own guesses and thoughts.
