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

The steel door opened, and Lou Fengyue walked out, completely covered up, with a disposable raincoat over her clothes.

Although it's thin, it's fine as long as it doesn't get my clothes dirty.

The raincoats are made of plastic sheeting, so they can be wiped clean easily without wasting water.

The sound of the steel door opening and closing seemed to be a signal for this floor. As soon as Lou Fengyue closed the door, Chu Sinian and Lou Yunzheng came out.

Even Liu Wu reflexively pushed open the door and poked his head out.

He looked left and right, then asked curiously, "Are the three of you going out? To find supplies? Can I come along?"

"We're not looking for supplies." Chu Sinian smiled gently, his voice soft. "Go to Building C and kill zombies."

Liu Wu shrank back. He knew how terrifying Building C was. Every night, screams could be heard from there; it had become a zombie abode.

"Then I'd better not go and become a burden," he said, well aware of his own abilities. "I'll stay here and help you guard the house."

Lou Fengyue didn't mince words: "If anyone comes to cause trouble, don't get into a conflict with them, and send me a message immediately."

"Okay." Liu Wu nodded.

Now, only three households remain on the 37th floor. Although all three are superpowered, his daughter has no fighting ability and is only a four-year-old girl.

The security of this floor depends on these three big shots, so he stayed behind as a communications officer, which is also his way of doing his part.

The three of them went down the stairs.

Chu Sinian was paralyzed in bed for three years. He was able to walk again after awakening his superpower. He seems to be recovering very well these past few days, and his walking posture is not as awkward as before.

Going down the stairs was also smooth.

Lou Yunzheng, however, seemed somewhat distracted.

He remembered that before he left, Shen Xiaoshuang hugged him and cried her heart out.

She asked him if he could not go, if he could stay, and if he could take her with him.

It wasn't because she was worried about the danger he would face killing zombies, but because she herself would be afraid to stay there.

Recalling this scene, Lou Yunzheng closed his eyes wearily and sighed.

Despite experiencing so much, Shen Xiaoshuang still couldn't learn to be independent or care about others. She still only cared about her own feelings and ignored his emotions.

Everyone says that true friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and that's absolutely true.

It would take some time to walk down from the 37th floor, so Lou Fengyue took the opportunity to briefly explain some key points to Chu Sinian.

"Zombies don't feel pain. You can break their legs and they can still crawl. You can rip out their intestines and they can still bite you."

"Its weakness is in its skull," Lou Fengyue pointed to its forehead. "Twisting its head off won't help; it can still bar its teeth. Only by attacking its brain can we kill it."

Chu Sinian listened attentively and nodded thoughtfully.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, the zombie corpses piled up in the stairwell were still starting to stink, and the decomposition was accelerating due to the rain.

Chu Sinian glanced at it and saw fat maggots crawling on it. He couldn't help but gag.

I watch a lot of anime, so I don't think much of it. But seeing real, rotting human bodies in front of me is just too visually impactful.

Especially... these corpses were originally their kind, but now they have turned into a pile of grayish-white rotting flesh, becoming nourishment for maggots.

It's unsettling to think about how this world will evolve into.

Lou Fengyue handed her a mask. "Put this on. You'll see even more disgusting things later."

Chu Sinian opened his mouth, wanting to ask what it was, but dared not listen.

He took the mask, put it on, and turned his face away from the pile of rotting flesh.

Lou Fengyue took out the rubber boat, pushed it out the window, and then handed Lou Yunzheng a baseball bat.

Seeing the rubber boat and baseball bat appear out of nowhere, Chu Sinian stared in surprise.

But he didn't ask any more questions, climbed out the window and jumped onto the rubber boat.

Building C is not far from Building A, only about ten meters away.

The rubber boat reached the window of Building C in less than a minute.

The three of them climbed over the wall.

Because of the flooding caused by the heavy rain, residents on the lower floors moved to the upper floors. Since there were fewer people, there were naturally fewer zombies in the less populated areas. So, there were only two zombies wandering around on the fourth floor.

It's now up to Chu Sinian to practice on.

"Superpowered individuals don't mutate, just make sure you don't get a piece of your flesh gnawed off," Lou Fengyue instructed, letting Chu Sinian practice here.

She and her brother went upstairs.

"Yueyue, do you think there are still any living people in this building?" Lou Yunzheng could feel that the building exuded a deathly aura, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"There are hundreds of people in a building. It's impossible for them all to die. There will always be survivors." Lou Fengyue gripped the baseball bat and stepped onto the fifth floor.

There were only six on the fifth floor, which my brother played with.

She leaned against the wall, watching the commotion.

Lou Yunzheng is becoming more and more proficient with his superpowers, and he is also very skilled at using the baseball bat. He has learned how to release his superpowers appropriately without wasting energy.

The six zombies were quickly dealt with, and two crystal cores were found, which Lou Yunzheng absorbed.

Chu Sinian also killed two zombies and caught up with them.

"Miss Lou, a stone fell out of the zombie's head." He opened his hand, revealing a pale pink crystal in his palm.

"This is a crystal core, which can replenish your special abilities," Lou Fengyue said. "You can use a little bit of your special abilities to stimulate it, and then you can absorb energy."

Chu Sinian learned very quickly; basically, he could grasp the essentials after Lou Fengyue gave him a few pointers.

Even Lou Yunzheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Academic geniuses really have brilliant minds."

Lou Fengyue laughed and bumped his shoulder: "Brother, you're not bad either. Back in the day, you were a top student in the architecture department of Beijing."

There are eight zombies on the sixth floor. They are to be handed over to Lou Yunzheng and Chu Sinian.

The next level up is the worst-hit area, with no fewer than twenty zombies on each floor. Lou Fengyue didn't let them follow.

She gripped the baseball bat and climbed the stairs step by step, her steps showing no sign of tension, but rather a hint of excitement.

Heh heh, little zombies, your big sister's here to boost her sales figures!
