You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

Lou Yunzheng did not respond to the accusations coming from outside.

He just stared at the bowl of noodles that had already clumped together, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally finished it all without wasting a single bit.

My sister must have suffered a lot in the disaster game, maybe even not having enough instant noodles to eat. That's why she's so determined to collect more supplies so that her family won't go hungry.

Survival is tough in the apocalypse. Even a cheap packet of instant noodles is something my sister risked her life to find.

We cannot waste it.

When Lou Yunzheng finished washing the dishes and went out, he saw Shen Xiaoshuang sitting cross-legged on the sofa, sulking, looking like she was never going to talk to him again.

He remembered that whenever he couldn't meet her demands, she would use this trick, waiting for him to come over and coax her, and then make up for it with more things.

This time, Lou Yunzheng didn't try to coax her.

He went straight into the study and made up the sofa bed.

Then he took a thick quilt from the wardrobe and put it on the sofa in the living room.

"Would you like to sleep on the sofa or in the study?" he asked.

Shen Xiaoshuang snorted, turned her body to the other side, and turned her back to him, clearly not wanting to talk to him.

"Then you can sleep on the sofa, I'm going to rest." Lou Yunzheng ignored her temper and turned to go back to his room.

Seeing that he really wasn't going to coax her, Shen Xiaoshuang became anxious: "Lou Yunzheng! I'm angry! Can't you at least try to comfort me?"

"We still need to go out to find supplies tomorrow, so go to bed early." Lou Yunzheng didn't linger, went into the study, and closed the door.

Shen Xiaoshuang pulled the blanket over her chest, curled up, her eyes reddening repeatedly, but no tears fell.

Only a floor lamp was lit in the living room. Lou Fengyue came out, poured herself a glass of water, drank it, and turned off the light when she went back to her room.

The room was plunged into complete darkness.

Hearing the screams coming through the glass window, Shen Xiaoshuang quickly pulled the blanket over her head and huddled under it, trembling.

In the second bedroom, Lou Fengyue lay on the bed and opened WeChat on her phone.

Liu Wu sent a new message.

Liu Wu: {Oh right, girl, I forgot to tell you, the officials came to collect the body of the old lady from 3704 today. They saw that the girl was all alone and looked pitiful, so they took her too.}

Lou Fengyue narrowed her eyes.

They've taken them?

The floodwaters in Linjiang City have not yet receded, and the only safe zone we can think of right now is a site selection. Where can we get to?

Liu Wu: {I only overheard it briefly; it seemed like they were assigned to a military base to do some logistical work.}

Lou Fengyue: {Okay. Do your phone and power bank still have power?}

Liu Wu: {The power bank is dead, my phone still has 15% battery left, but it probably won't last much longer.}

Lou Fengyue: {I'll get you a new power bank tomorrow. The zombies will be more active at night, so make sure the doors are blocked off and be careful.}

Liu Wu: {Okay, thank you, girl.}

Lou Fengyue reminded Chu Sinian before putting down her phone.

With her sensory abilities fully activated, she can only perceive a radius of fifty meters.

The 38th and 39th floors are uninhabited, but due to the flooding and Zhang Yong's instigation a couple of days ago, there are now more than twenty people stuck on them.

Two of them have a fever.

Down below, you can probably reach the 21st floor, which is filled with the presence of living people. Three people have fevers, but there are no superhumans or zombies yet.

The building is currently considered safe.

But the situation in Building C next door is not so optimistic.

Because the distance wasn't far, Lou Fengyue could sense that there were no living people left on the 37th floor of the neighboring building, and more than a dozen zombies were wandering around.

The horror of the torrential rain phase lies in the fact that floodwaters trap people, preventing them from leaving or escaping. If even one zombie appears in a building, the entire family of three or four is almost certain to perish.

One household mutated, then the entire floor was affected, and then several floors above and below.

The infection rate is comparable to cell proliferation.

The cries and screams were incessant, and without the drowning sound of the torrential rain, they sounded even more terrifying than in the previous days.

The night is deep.

Lou Fengyue turned over, stopped sensing, and closed her eyes to sleep.

The diesel fuel at home ran out, and the generator will stop working after only a few hours.

I'll go check out the gas station tomorrow.

Let's do some tasks while we're at it.

It was 5:30 in the morning, and the sky was still dark.

Lou Fengyue was awakened by the sound of rain.

It's starting to rain again outside. The rain isn't heavy, but it's unlikely we'll be able to go out in a rubber boat.

Today's plans are on hold for now; we'll have to wait until the rain stops and then see how things go.

She then used her sensory abilities to monitor the people with fevers.

There were two people on the 38th floor, and one of them suddenly had a drop in body temperature.

It's not the kind of fever reducer.

It was a sudden drop in body temperature, like a kerosene lamp being abruptly blown out.

She sat up, quickly changed into long sleeves and trousers, and put on cut-resistant gloves.

Her long hair was tied up and tucked into a baseball cap, then she put on a hooded sweatshirt and a mask.

When I left the room, I found that the person sleeping on the sofa had become Lou Yunzheng.

Hearing the noise, he woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at his fully armed sister, his mind instantly clearing.

"So early? What happened?"

"There are zombies upstairs, I'll go take care of it." Lou Fengyue was changing her shoes in the entryway.

The 38th floor is currently unfurnished, without entrance doors, and houses more than a dozen people.

Once that person becomes completely zombified, the dozen or so people will not escape unscathed, and soon the entire building will be doomed.

This must be resolved as soon as possible.

"I'll go with you." Lou Yunzheng threw off the covers, strode to the entrance, put on his shoes and mask, and put on his baseball cap.

Not having time to change her clothes, Lou Fengyue grabbed two disposable raincoats and put them on to avoid getting her clothes dirty and difficult to wash.

The brother and sister went out, and the steel door was locked tightly.

Shen Xiaoshuang was awakened by the noise. She peeked out of the study and saw that no one was in the living room. Her gaze involuntarily moved to the closed wooden door of the second bedroom.

She tiptoed out and tentatively turned the doorknob of the second bedroom.

It's unlocked!
