In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

On the rocky cliffs, crawling monsters surged down like a tidal wave.

In the blink of an eye, they will be surrounded by monsters!

"Quick, think of a solution!"

"The Su family!"

"Your lightsaber!"

Everyone panicked and tried to pry the door open. Maddie remembered Sue's lightsaber and hurriedly shouted for him to use it to break down the door.

Suddenly, the door opened.

The loudspeakers on the roof also started playing.

"David, come in."

It was Ted's voice.

Before they could even savor the joy of surviving a disaster and finding a new lease on life, everyone rushed inside.

Just as the monster was about to pounce on them, the door slammed shut.

The moment the door closed, a sprayer above it emitted salt water!

"Huh...huh...huh..."

The group leaned against the door, panting heavily. They had almost been wiped out.

If the door had opened even a few seconds later, everything would have been over.

"Ted, Ted!"

An old man appeared behind the group, and David's family excitedly rushed forward to hug him.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you were outside until you started banging on the door," Ted explained apologetically.

Those unaware of the truth naturally wouldn't think much of it.

"This place is wonderful!"

"There's also a salt water spray gun here."

"Hi, my name is McGrady."

"Nice to meet you."

"Really thank you very much."

"The Su family."

"Anna."

Regardless, Ted opened the door at the crucial moment. Even if he hadn't opened the door, the monsters outside wouldn't have posed a threat to Su and Anna. However, Su, who had no intention of revealing his strength, naturally had to make a gesture and greet the owner of the place.

"Aunt Stella."

Ted's wife also came out, and everyone exchanged pleasantries again.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone noticed a strange man in camouflage uniform squatting in a corner eating.

"This is Gretel, Corporal Gretel."

Grett introduced himself: "I work for the Department of Homeland Security."

Everyone introduced themselves.

Ted said, "Grete's father fought alongside me in the Gulf War."

“I lost contact with… um… I lost contact with my department. Luckily, I remembered that Ted had such a place, so I hid here.”

“That’s really lucky.” David stared at Gretel.

Gretel looked down and patted his sidearm: "Does my gun make you uncomfortable?"

"I feel uneasy whenever I see a gun."

"Oh, I see!"

Clearly, the presence of a stranger with a gun made David wary, and Gretel did not take any action just because he said he was uncomfortable with guns.

After all, guns are deterrent weapons.

He was able to stay here because he had a gun, and he was able to make Ted's family obediently follow his lead and act in his play.

The atmosphere became slightly heavy. Ted remained silent, and everyone vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Then, before they could think any further...

The sounds of monster attacks outside were getting louder and louder, and the clanging noises drew everyone's attention.

"Are they going to keep crashing like this all night?"

"It may continue for a while."

“Those damn monsters know we’re in there.”

"No one is allowed to barge into my place."

"I think so too."

"If it were me, I would feel incredibly lucky to be here."

"It's not easy to survive a calamity like this, let alone encountering it a second time. But we will definitely get through this safely as well. We must work together to overcome this difficulty; unity is strength!"

"How about we have a big meal first? We need to find a way to get through this time, and you'll have just enough time to enjoy Stella's classic home-cooked dishes. Right, honey?"

"I think so. I hope everyone will do me the honor of eating stewed meat."

Ted smiled at his wife, Stella, who smiled knowingly.

Greta smiled and got up to go inside; everything seemed normal.

Suddenly, Su whispered in Anna's ear, "Take him down."

The order came suddenly. Although Anna was puzzled, she acted without hesitation and did not choose the wrong target.

Chapter 554 Anomaly, Breakthrough?

Anna moved with lightning speed, her long legs turning three steps into two, and she instantly arrived in front of Gretel.

Although Gretel was on guard, he was mainly focused on David and never expected that Anna, this pretty little girl, would suddenly make a move, and so fast!

Although Gretel drew his gun immediately after realizing what was happening, he still lost the initiative. As soon as he pulled the gun out, Anna kicked his wrist, sending the gun flying.

He then turned around and kicked Gretel in the chest, knocking him to the ground, before quickly picking up his gun.

"do not move!"

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at Gretel, who was trying to get up. Gretel glared angrily and resentfully at Anna, but his anger had no effect on Anna, who could only obediently raise her hands in surrender.

"what happened?"

The unexpected turn of events startled David and the others.

Ted and Stella, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know how Anna had figured out that Gretel was suspicious, the two of them were finally completely at ease.

Since Sue and Anna didn't speak, the elderly couple, Ted and his wife, took the initiative to explain.

David and the others were taken aback by what they said.

David was alright; he already had a feeling that something was off about Gretel, this stranger, and was on guard.

The others didn't really think much of it. After all, they had just survived a close call and hadn't calmed down yet. Besides, what Ted said during his introduction seemed normal, so they didn't think much of it.

Now that they hear it, they feel a sense of lingering fear.

The elderly couple, Ted and his wife, have been taken hostage!

If Anna hadn't suddenly intervened and subdued the man, taking his gun, their entire family, or rather, all of them, could have been taken hostage.

No, not at all.

And then there's Sue, the 'Jedi Knight' who possesses a lightsaber. Gretel would never have imagined that Sue would have a lightsaber, so there's still a chance!

Moreover, others might not have noticed, but Maddie happened to see it. It was something Sue said to Anna that made Anna suddenly take action.

In other words, it was Su who noticed the problem.

So even if Anna doesn't make a move, the Su family can find a suitable opportunity to strike. With their intentions on the side of the enemy and the Su family possessing lightsabers and formidable skills, the opponent is destined to fail!

Anna subtly consulted Su about how to deal with Gretel. Su approached Gretel, looked at his slightly resentful expression, and spoke calmly.

"You have two choices: stay put and wait for the eclipse to end and the reckoning day to pass."

"Or, be thrown out."

The area is surrounded by monsters that roam the mountains and plains; the fate of someone thrown out is predictable.

To be honest, Greta wasn't really that bad; he was just a bit selfish. If he were truly bad, he wouldn't have allowed Ted to open the door and let them in in the first place.

After all, the day of reckoning is only one day, and once that day is over, the disaster will be over.

"what……"

Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out.

Everyone was startled and looked over to see a snake-like crawling monster, about a meter long, biting Taylor's neck. Taylor screamed and grabbed the monster with both hands, trying to pull it down.

"Taylor!"

David and Lola rushed to help their son when they saw him being attacked by a monster.

Together, the group pulled the monster down and threw it away. The serpentine monster crashed to the ground and was immediately cleaved in two by Maddie with the axe beside him. It trembled and writhed for a moment before going still.

"Taylor, you..." Maddie, having killed the monster, threw down his axe and looked at Taylor, who was being held by his parents.

Taylor's neck was a bloody mess, bleeding profusely; clearly... he was not going to survive!
