Chapter 680: Beast
You took a few steps back as Old Yang, holding a rock, charged directly at the iron door. The door was very sturdy, and despite Old Yang fiercely smashing it several times, he couldn’t break it open. However, the door was at least deformed, and just as Old Yang was preparing to apply more force, the door swung open, and two men emerged.
The pair, one older and one younger, had a somewhat similar appearance, looking like father and son. The younger man’s eyelids twitched immediately when he saw the weapons in Xia Xue and her companion’s hands, revealing a hint of panic in his eyes.
The older man was relatively composed. He cleared his throat and said to Old Yang, "Brother, this is a refuge for my son and me. Please show some mercy. If you are looking for food, I’m afraid we’ll have to disappoint you."
"Are there any other people inside?" you asked the middle-aged man.
"Yes, my wife is also here. My wife and I are hotel staff. After those monsters appeared, we hid inside." The middle-aged man spoke without blinking an eye, his facial expression very calm, showing no sign of peculiarity.

The monsters have poor eyesight, so as long as we are quiet, they won’t notice us. Additionally, we moved some rice from the hotel beforehand, enough to sustain three of us for a short time, until the rescue teams arrive..."
