Li Du drank a mouthful of the whiskey they had made. It had a powerful kick to it. Once the liquor touched his lips, it seemed to explode throughout his taste buds.
”Woah. What a strong drink,” he exclaimed.
Godzilla was holding a bottle of liquor in one hand and a grilled chicken thigh in the other. He was feasting happily and seemed to be in high spirits. To him, the hard liquor didn’t seem much different from beer, and was just an accompaniments to the food.
Rose originally chose beer, but after two cans felt that it didn’t have enough kick, so she switched to whiskey too.
Sophie’s eyes widened in surprise. ”Rose, are you sure you want to drink such a strong liquor? I feel that you should go with beer instead.”
Rose downed half a cup of whiskey and replied casually, ”This is nothing. Every night at home I drink a glass of whiskey.”
Sophie handed a glass of freshly squeezed juice to her. ”At least have some juice.”
She then gave Li Du a small bottle of yogurt, and added, ”This will protect your stomach. Have a few spoons of yogurt, and you won’t feel that bad tomorrow.”
Li Du cleaned up the bottle of yogurt joyfully. He felt that the woman’s concern was a pretty pleasant thing.
Hans was a party-goer. With his frivolous personality and silver tongue, he was best-suited as the one to lift the mood of the party. He constantly found topics to talk about, and everyone would be engrossed in the conversation.
After talking about sports, politics, and entertainment, the conversation moved to their daily lives.
Hans asked Rose, ”How’s the public order in Flagstaff now?”
Rose drank some whiskey and shook her head. ”The weather is too warm, so everyone’s tempers are getting wild. Since last month, crime rates have been on the rise.”
Hannah sighed, ”When we were still young, Flagstaff was considered the safest place in Arizona. I still remember that even when it was midnight, we could go out and have fun without much concern.”
Rose shook her head again and said, ”You can’t now, missy. A girl going out at night alone is not a good idea. You must have a companion with you.”
”Hannah, if anything happens, you must call me ASAP,” Hans said.
Hannah pointed to Godzilla and said, ”Don’t worry, brother. We have a monster in our house. With Godzilla, even if a werewolf appears, I won’t be afraid.
”Sorry, but the monster is going to change his nest,” Hans laughed.
”What do you mean?” Hannah asked.
”He’s moving here,” Hans said. ”Who did you think Li built this cabin for? Himself? No, he’s enjoying happy times with his lady cop.”
Li Du was about to cuss at him, but considering that Sophie sat right beside him, he held back.
However, it was true that Godzilla was moving to the cabin. There were too many goods in the place, and the treasure hunters that knew where the cabin was were far too many. If the goods were left alone overnight, there was a high chance that they would be stolen.
Stephen built up his courage and exclaimed, ”Don’t worry, Hannah. I’m here. If anything happens, call me.”
Hans glanced sideways at him. ”What are you being so impatient for? She still has me, her brother.”
Sophie placed both her hands on her cheeks and said, ”The safety of Flagstaff has certainly taken a turn for the worse. When I was younger, I also thought that it was much safer.”
Rose said, ”Compared to other cities, the safety level of Flagstaff is considered pretty good.”
”Is it?”
Rose drank a mouthful of whiskey and nodded silently.
”The cities on the West Coast—which ones have deteriorated?” Stephen asked.
