Liu Lei took one last look at the box, a hint of attachment and reluctance in his eyes.
He also sprinkled a large amount of perfume near the box, hoping to cover up the smell emanating from his sister so that the two monsters would not notice it.
After doing this, he no longer hesitated, tightly grasped the U-shaped lock in his hand, and walked towards the store door with firm steps.
He cautiously leaned against the door and peeked out through the crack.
I saw the two monsters following the footprints on the ground and rushing towards this side at an astonishing speed.
Liu Lei took a deep breath, took one last look at where his sister was hiding, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
Then he rushed out of the store without hesitation.
"Alpaca! I'm here! You two big idiots!" Liu Lei yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing throughout the entire street.
His shout immediately attracted the attention of the two monsters. They suddenly raised their heads and locked their eyes on Liu Lei.
When they saw the prey they were chasing, they sped up without hesitation and rushed towards Liu Lei like lightning.
Liu Lei also knew how fast these monsters were, so after shouting loudly, he turned around and ran away without stopping.
He ran as fast as he could without looking back, with only one thought in his mind: he must lure these two clawed demons away to buy more time for his sister.
Two claw demons were chasing Liu Lei like the wind. One of them suddenly stopped when passing by a cosmetics store.
Its evil eyes stared into the store with longing, and it kept sniffing the air, sensing that there might be food hidden inside.
However, because the perfume is too strong, it cannot accurately determine the specific location of the food.
Moreover, Liu Lei covered Liu Jia's body with a cardboard box to prevent her smell from escaping, and used perfume to cover it up, so Liu Jia's smell was very faint.
"Ah! Ahhhh! I'll fight you!"
The Claw Demon at the door of the cosmetics store was attracted by the sound and stopped wandering here. It rushed directly towards Liu Lei.
In the shop, Liu Jia listened to her brother's roar outside and the monster's footsteps going away, covering her face and crying in pain and sadness.
She kept struggling in her heart. If she went out, both she and her brother might not survive, and she would have let her brother down.
But if she doesn't go out, she will always be tormented in her heart, because her brother is the only relative she has left, and her parents died to protect them. If her brother is gone too, she will become an orphan.
So what's the point of her living?
"It would be better to die with my brother and go find our parents together!" Liu Jia murmured softly. She stood up suddenly, threw the cardboard box covering her head aside, and ran to the door impatiently. She wanted to be with her brother.
"Ah! Come here! I'll beat you to death! Ahhh!"
At this time, Liu Lei outside was holding a U-shaped lock and waving it in front of him, trying to prevent the Claw Demon from approaching him.
However, these clawed demons did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. Their goal was only to capture Liu Lei and present him to the Queen in order to expand their own tribe.
If it weren't for the fact that they only wanted to capture people, Liu Lei would have had no chance of resisting at all due to their own powerful strength.
At this moment, they deliberately consumed Liu Lei's physical strength, intending to take him away easily after he was exhausted.
Just like that, the two monsters teased Liu Lei like they were playing with a cat or a dog, and before long, they made him breathless and sweaty.
Liu Lei was very anxious and wanted to get away from here, but he was surrounded by monsters and couldn't escape.
At this moment, he was like a fish at the mercy of others, unable to fight back.
If I couldn't run farther, it would be easy to catch my sister with the monster's speed.
Just as he was considering whether to risk getting injured in order to force back the monsters on one side and then take the opportunity to run away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his sister coming out of the cosmetics store out of the corner of his eye.
Liu Lei's heart was filled with despair and pain. Sister, why did you come out? Why are you so stupid! Even if your brother dies, as long as you can survive, it's good!
Suddenly a low roar was heard.
The Claw Demon in front of Liu Lei sensed the smell behind him and slowly turned his head.
Its eyes flashed with a fierce light as it locked onto Liu Jia, and a low roar came from its throat.
Liu Lei secretly cried out that something was wrong and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He rushed towards the Claw Demon without hesitation and hugged its waist tightly from behind.
"Sister! Run! Don't worry about me! You must leave here alive! Run!" Liu Lei hugged the Claw Demon with all his strength, trying to stop it from attacking Liu Jia. He was already prepared to sacrifice himself.
However, he overlooked an important fact: there was another claw demon nearby.
At this moment, the clawed demon that he was holding tightly did not move at all, but just looked at the brother and sister coldly.
"Brother! I won't leave! What's the point of living alone? I might as well go with you to find our parents!" Liu Jia shouted and shook his head, his tears leaving several marks on his dirty face.
When Liu Lei heard what his sister said, his expression was stunned. Yes, if his sister was left alone in the world with no one to protect her, she might suffer more.
However, at this time, the two claw demons seemed to have lost their patience.
The Claw Demon, who was tightly hugged by Liu Lei, suddenly stretched out his normal hand, grabbed his neck with his backhand, lifted him up suddenly, and threw him hard on the ground in front of him.
"Uh..." Liu Lei was knocked unconscious by the fall. His head was buzzing and stars were flashing before his eyes.
He curled up, trying to ease the severe pain in his body, but the pain was so severe that he couldn't utter any words.
In fact, this claw demon did not use too much strength.
If Liu Lei's arms or legs were broken, it would have an adverse effect on the subsequent mutation process, which was obviously not in line with the Queen's expectations.
Therefore, although the IQ of these claw demons is not high, they obey the queen's orders very much and act cautiously.
"Brother!" Liu Jia felt a pain in her heart when she saw her brother being injured by the monster. More tears welled up in her eyes. She cried loudly, spread her legs and ran towards her brother.
Now that she had decided to face death with her brother, she no longer had any concerns.
She no longer wanted to escape; this long and difficult apocalyptic life made her exhausted.
Even if she was not devoured by the monster, the daily hunger was unbearable for her.
Besides, she missed her mother.
Determined to die, Liu Jia was no longer afraid of monsters. He ignored the two monsters, quickly came to Liu Lei, hugged him and burst into tears.
