In other words, this woman’s level of mutation and evolution is the highest he’s encountered so far!
Liang Yuan sneered, looking at the corpse: "I will never be the same type of person as scum like you."
He turned to Ding Yan: "Collect some supplies, and prepare to go to the next place."
Ding Yan glanced at the corpse, then at Liang Yuan, and asked: "Did you really deduce that she was problematic just from those little details?"
Liang Yuan walked out of the bedroom, scanned the balcony, and replied: "Isn’t it obvious? A kidnapped person, not only without a single injury, but dressed neatly and elegantly, as if she was the owner here."
"That dog clearly had the speed of a mutated creature, yet didn’t attack her. Isn’t that suspicious?"
"So far, I haven’t seen anyone who can control mutated creatures."
Liang Yuan casually explained a few things, then suddenly focused his gaze, squatted down, and looked at a pot of succulent plants in the corner of the balcony.
The succulent was already dead, and next to it, there was another flowerpot, but the plant inside had been dug out.
"Is this the cactus that gave birth to the mutated fruit?"
Liang Yuan emptied the soil from the flowerpot and searched through it.
As the woman said, she had eaten it all without leaving any behind.
Liang Yuan looked at the dying succulent next to it, thought for a while, and then collected the succulent flowerpot.
"I wonder if this succulent can be saved, and if it can, will it bear mutated fruit?"
Seeing him collect the succulent, Ding Yan couldn’t help but ask: "Are you planning to cultivate it?"
Liang Yuan nodded: "Hmm, maybe I can cultivate the mutated fruit, but it’s challenging. With the continuous heavy rain and no sunlight, these plants can’t survive without sunlight."
Ding Yan looked at the pouring rain outside, the surging floods, and sighed.
"With such a massive flood outside, the land is submerged. How many plants can survive?"
Her words reminded Liang Yuan, causing his expression to change.
Under the floods, humans would lose their footing, and plants similarly need soil for Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
In the future, plants might become increasingly rare, and the current ones will become more precious.
He immediately said: "If we encounter any plants in the future, regardless of the type, try to collect them."
"If the floods continue, plants will become increasingly scarce."
Ding Yan was slightly startled, then quickly nodded: "Alright."
The two began collecting supplies, and Song Wen and Liu Feifei also bravely came inside to help.
However, as soon as they entered, they were horrified by the dozen skeletons that had been stripped of flesh and vomited uncontrollably.
Wen Lili and Zhang Peng, who followed behind, initially didn’t understand what was happening, but when they came in to help, they also began vomiting violently.
Once they adapted, Zhang Peng asked in terror: "How did Xu Lihua’s house become ?"
Wen Lili trembled: "What... what exactly happened here?"
Liang Yuan glanced at the two and asked: "Do you know this Xu Lihua?"
Wen Lili nodded: "Yes... yes, she’s our neighbor. She’s quite mean and has always lived with her daughter. By the way, where’s her daughter?"
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Her daughter has always lived here? Even after the floods?"
Zhang Peng quickly nodded: "Yes, I saw her before."
Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked around.
Besides them, there were only those skeletons in the room.
But at this moment, Liang Yuan felt a chilling sensation.
Somehow, he felt that something was watching him.
"Could her daughter be hiding here all this time?"
Liang Yuan was suspicious, looking at Ding Yan.
Ding Yan immediately understood Liang Yuan’s concern and couldn’t help feeling a bit creeped out.
"We haven’t seen her daughter. Could she be hiding in the house?"
Liang Yuan pointed to the woman on the couch and asked: "Do you know this woman?"
Wen Lili and Zhang Peng craned their necks to look at the woman on the couch, their expressions changing subtly.
"That’s the girl from downstairs!" Zhang Peng immediately exclaimed.
Wen Lili hurriedly said: "It’s Li Han, our downstairs neighbor. She’s very approachable and even lent us food when the floods began."
"But she disappeared a month ago. I never expected... I never thought she’d be in Xu Lihua’s house!"
Zhang Peng couldn’t help but ask: "Did Xu Lihua harm her? They got along well; they never had any quarrels."
Liang Yuan didn’t ask further. From Xu Lihua’s tone earlier, she clearly believed she was different from ordinary people.
What did it matter if they were once neighbors?
In Xu Lihua’s eyes, her precious dog was probably more important.
At this moment, Ding Yan explained to the others what had just happened.
They revealed looks of astonishment.
Especially hearing that Xu Lihua had awakened a mutant ability, allowing her to parasitize others.
Using Li Han to lure innocent people inside, then killing them to feed the dog.
Such horrifying and terrifying events actually occurred just downstairs.
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.
What has happened to this world!
How did it become so terrifying!
Song Wen and Liu Feifei were pale with fear from Ding Yan’s story.
Song Wen was secretly relieved; thankfully, she came with Liang Yuan and the others.
She had naively thought of exchanging supplies with nearby neighbors to profit.
Given the situation, it was fortunate she wasn’t dead.
Liu Feifei felt the same as Song Wen.
For the first time, she felt her father and Uncle Hu were incredibly lucky.
If they had come to buy things from Xu Lihua earlier, wouldn’t they have ended up like meat buns thrown to dogs, never to return?
Liang Yuan said sternly: "We don’t know how many mutants like Xu Lihua are in Building Two."
"It’s unknown how many of these people still have their humanity, so if you go out, don’t go alone."
"Report any suspicious activities to us at Unit 32, Building One."
"We will begin sweeping the building, checking for such dangers to ensure the safety of the upper floors."
"We won’t take the cleared rooms, but we’ll take the usable items inside."
After saying a few words, Liang Yuan called out to Ding Yan: "Let’s go to the next place."
