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

In the end, the special police officers did not catch up because their orders were to evacuate the Cuiping residential area and go to Yunhe Community and Huanhehui Shopping Mall to clear out zombies and search for survivors—that is, the area where Luo Zeyan lived.

Lou Fengyue ignored them, picked up the rotten wooden stick, and went upstairs.

The situation in Building D was similar to that in Building B. There weren't many zombies, probably because they had all seen the terrible state of Building C and were hiding inside.

If anyone has a fever, they should be isolated to prevent the mutation from causing people to bite each other and ultimately harming the entire building.

There weren't many zombies, but there weren't few either.

There were six or seven dead from the disease in the 39-story building, and about a hundred zombies.

Lou Fengyue fought her way up as easily as strolling through her own backyard, clearing out the zombies in just over half an hour.

I also took the opportunity to check if there were any superhumans.

Unfortunately, no.

Upon reaching the 18th floor, I suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation.

She stopped abruptly and looked out the window in the direction the monitoring system had detected.

A boy was seen holding an air conditioner unit, his body dangling in the air, his face pale and his lips blue with tension.

They look like they've been gone for a while.

"What are you doing?" Lou Fengyue frowned, expressing her incomprehension at his performance art.

The boy looked over at the sound, forcing a smile that was strained and his voice trembling: "Um... bro, want to lend a hand?"

Lou Fengyue: ...

Yesterday I encountered two silly kids climbing drain pipes, and today I met a superhuman climbing an air conditioner outdoor unit.

I never knew before that viruses could cause intellectual impairment.

Why not use the stairs if the exterior wall tile color is too attractive?

"Brother, I really can't hold on much longer—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy's hand slipped, and he fell to the ground.

Even faster than his descent was Lou Fengyue's vines.

The vines, like serpents, darted out of the window frame, wrapped around the boy's waist, and pulled him up abruptly.

The boy fell flat on the floor of the stairwell, sprawled out, panting heavily, like a fish that had been pulled ashore.

Lou Fengyue looked down at him, slung the rotten wooden stick over her shoulder, and said, "Why climb the air conditioner unit when there are stairs?"

The boy recovered, sat up, looked up at the person in front of him who was wrapped up tightly except for his eyes, and swallowed.

"I... I have superpowers, and I wanted to try jumping off to see if I'd die, but I chickened out as soon as I climbed out..."

Lou Fengyue looked at the seemingly simple-minded boy in front of her and seriously doubted whether he had an intellectual problem.

"I will die." With those two words, she answered the question he was trying to verify with his life.

The boy blinked and asked curiously, "Have you tried it?"

Lou Fengyue: "..."

If I had tried, would I still be standing here talking to you?!

Lou Fengyue took a deep breath, too lazy to keep arguing with him.

She crouched down, pulled off one glove, and touched the back of his hand with her fingertips.

The boy paused for a moment, feeling a cool sensation on the back of his hand, but he didn't flinch. He just stared down at the pale, slender hand, the outline of which was visible to the bone.

Out of the blue, she asked, "Are you a girl?"

Lou Fengyue: "..."

[Wind-based ability detected. Copy immediately?]

Wind element?

That's really crazy.

It is one of the attribute abilities. It is not strong in attack, but it can run fast and jump high. At a high level, it can glide briefly.

A master at escaping.

It was copied.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired wind-based superpowers.]

"What's your name?" Lou Fengyue asked.

"Chen..." The boy paused, his clear, puppy-dog eyes scanning her up and down. "Are you human?"

Lou Fengyue couldn't help but roll her eyes, not wanting to talk to him anymore, and turned to walk downstairs.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

The boy quickly got up from the ground and chased after him in a few steps.

"My name is Chen Yue, and I live on the 18th floor. You're also a superhuman, right? That green vine you used earlier was pretty powerful. Can we team up sometime?"

Lou Fengyue finally stopped and glanced at him sideways: "What team are we forming?"

"I heard that as long as the authorities establish a safe zone here, they will recruit people with superpowers to form rescue teams to rescue other survivors." Chen Yue honestly confessed everything.

Lou Fengyue withdrew her gaze and continued walking downstairs. "Not interested."

"Why aren't you interested? They'll recruit you! That's a permanent position, a secure job. They said they'll provide room and board, isn't that great!" Chen Yue followed closely beside her, chattering away.

Lou Fengyue had never met such a noisy person.

With a slight lift of his fingertips, Chen Yue's voice vanished completely—his lips were frozen shut, rendering him unable to speak.

But his eyes shone even brighter, as if he had discovered the most interesting game in the world, and he stared intently at Lou Fengyue.

"Mmm...mmm...mmmmmmm..." He gestured wildly and made muffled sounds, trying to express something.

But Lou Fengyue didn't even look at him directly.

A sense of helplessness welled up inside me.

Who did they save...?

Upon reaching the lobby on the first floor, seeing that Chen Yue still wanted to follow, Lou Fengyue turned her head and gave him a cold glare.

"Get up there," she said, "or I'll throw you to feed the zombies."

Chen Yue stopped and looked at her pitifully, then pointed to his mouth, which was stuck together with frost.

Lou Fengyue sighed inwardly, raised her hand, and dispelled the layer of frost. "Get out."

Chen Yue let out a heavy sigh, glanced at Lou Fengyue's indifferent attitude, and helplessly turned and walked upstairs.

Finally free from this trouble, Lou Fengyue strode out the door and turned towards Building E next door.

There are still three buildings left. If we clear them out quickly, we can still make it home for lunch.

There were fewer zombies in Building E than in Building D, only 87, and 23 crystal cores were collected. They were wiped out in half an hour.

Finally, there's Building G.

Building G is located at the very innermost part of the residential area, near the perimeter wall. Behind the wall lies a two-lane main street, which is also the boundary of the safety zone.

After Lou Fengyue finished cleaning up the zombies in the building, she stood on the rooftop of Building G and looked out.

Across the street is a park. The once lush lawn was submerged in water for nearly ten days. Now that the water has receded, it has been trampled by zombies, leaving behind a pool of black blood carrying the virus.

A large area has been abandoned, a mixture of black, yellow, and green colors, looking down from above like an unkempt paint jar.

A faint buzzing sound came from the air, and Lou Fengyue turned around warily, her gaze meeting that of a drone flying in the sky.

The drone's camera was pointed directly at her.

The system panel popped up, displaying automatically received WeChat messages.

Qin Qian: {Comrade Loulan, you cleared out all the zombies in the residential area by yourself?}

Lou Fengyue didn't reply; she knew Qin Qian was watching her through a drone.

She didn't bother to take out her phone and pretend, and went straight downstairs.

There were 13 untreated little idiots left in the lobby of Building B, but when I went over to check, there were only 12 left today.

I reckon one of them wandered out.

She entered the room and quickly killed them all. Then, she activated her senses and knocked down a few silly little creatures hiding in the community garden who were munching on leaves.

[Random Task: Clear out the zombies from all residential buildings within the community - Completed]

[Rating: SSS+]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 10 Body Tempering Pills, 10 Holy Light Spring Waters, and 5 Blood Clotting Ointments]

[Congratulations, host, on receiving a special reward: Grade A item - Soul Furnace]

[How to use: Take 1 gram of furnace ash in the palm of your hand, rub it in until absorbed, and your supernatural power will be greatly enhanced within 12 hours.]

Lou Fengyue's lips twitched as she watched.

Use furnace ash?

What kind of weird operation is this?

Besides, what kind of bullshit "Soul Furnace" is this? Isn't this just a sandalwood incense burner she accidentally found while scavenging for trash in the Disaster game?!

It's exquisitely made and beautiful, but completely useless.

Did she glance at it and then throw it away?

They actually came up with another fancy name and gave it to her as a reward?

Most importantly—she doesn't have any fire-based abilities right now!
