"No, no, I don’t want to die. Save me. You’re a mutant ability user; you must have a way. Save me."
Chen Hong pleaded desperately, but his vision was getting darker and weaker.
Breathing heavily, his voice grew softer, almost a whisper: "Save me... save me... I... I... don’t want to..."
He didn’t finish his words before losing consciousness.
Blood flowed, washed away by the flood.
Liang Yuan shook his head, pondering Chen Hong’s last words.
Wang Ze is very powerful?
His abilities are very strange?
What exactly are Wang Ze’s abilities?
He was cautiously thoughtful; the people Chen Hong brought had all died.
Most of the bodies lay on the corridor of the first and second units.
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then turned back to the corridor of the first unit to check on Song Wen and the others.
Just as he was about to turn, the entire corridor suddenly shook violently.
A massive black shadow burst out of the flood outside the corridor.
Then, a tentacle instantly smashed into the corridor!
This sudden attack left Liang Yuan with no time to react!
The corridor roared, large stones shattered, and bricks broke apart, making Liang Yuan unstable and fall into the water!
This moment felt like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, causing the flood to boil instantly!
Countless mutant fish smelled the scent and attacked wildly.
Liang Yuan’s face changed drastically, he kicked the water hard, and with the immense force, he rose up.
But with the water’s resistance, he couldn’t get out of the water.
He urgently flailed his arms, swimming desperately.
The iron sheets in his clothes made it difficult for Liang Yuan to float.
Mutant fish around him fiercely bit him, but fortunately, his constitution had reached 4.8, and his defense power was strong enough.
Most mutant fish couldn’t break his skin, but the stinging sensation from countless bites still frightened him.
Outside the corridor, a giant tentacle kept swinging and smashing the building walls.
The entire building trembled; the corridor bodies were rolled up by the waves.
The giant tentacle grabbed the bodies and dragged them underwater.
The sight frightened Liang Yuan; his body sank, heading underwater.
He quickly took off his iron-laden jacket, feeling instantly lighter.
He then frantically swung his arms, swimming upstream rapidly.
In an instant, he reached the windowsill of a twelfth-floor apartment.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the windowsill and climbed up urgently.
As he exited the water, mutant fish clung to his body.
The mutant fish hung onto his clothes and hair, refusing to let go.
Liang Yuan couldn’t deal with them at the moment, using his hands and feet to climb over the twelfth floor and rolled into a room.
Then he urgently shook his body, throwing down dozens of fish.
He lifted his foot and stomped down hard, crunching sounds echoed as he smashed all the mutant fish.
Instantly, numerous points were credited to him.
Liang Yuan didn’t care about the points, his eyes fixed on the window.
The tentacle dragged the bodies underwater and slowly sank.
Only now did Liang Yuan see the shadow’s true form underwater.
It was a giant octopus!
A single tentacle was nearly ten meters long, with a diameter exceeding two meters!
And that was just one tentacle; the entire body might be as tall as a floor!
Liang Yuan’s face turned grim: "Mutant creatures are getting stronger. This octopus’s mutation progress must be over 30%!"
"I’m still not strong enough, far from it!"
The sense of crisis in his heart escalated rapidly!
The mutant octopus gathered the corpses, dragged them underwater, and disappeared slowly.
Rain continued to pour down, and everything seemed to calm down.
Only the broken corridor told the tale of the previous danger.
Liang Yuan steadied his mind, quickly left through the door, and went along the stairs to the thirteenth floor, returning to the first unit through the corridor of the thirteenth floor.
Now the corridor between the first and second units on the twelfth floor was broken and basically non-passable.
But the water level had risen, and sooner or later, it would be completely impassable.
What was more worrying now was whether the damage caused by the mutant octopus to this layer of the corridor would affect the entire building structure.
"This building is ultimately not stable enough; sooner or later, we must leave it."
He made up his mind, he had to hasten the construction of the raft.
Meanwhile, he realized the mutant octopus was likely attracted by the blood.
From now on, disposing of bodies was not as simple as throwing them into the nearby flood.
Otherwise, attracting large mutant creatures would spell trouble.
"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, please, please save Feifei."
Liu Danian fell to his knees in front of Liang Yuan, tears streaming down his face, pleading.
Liang Yuan helped him up and said solemnly, "Uncle Liu, don’t panic. Let me have a look."
He glanced at Song Wen who was squatting beside Liu Feifei and asked, "What’s the situation now? Does she have breathing?"
Song Wen quickly said, "Yes, she has breathing. She was hit on the head earlier and has been unconscious since then. It’s all my fault; if I hadn’t dodged earlier, Feifei..."
Song Wen’s eyes reddened, tears streaming down.
Since she joined the small team formed by Liu, it was the first time she felt warmth after the apocalyptic flood.
Being close in age with Liu Feifei, they talked a lot and were almost inseparable every day, forming a deep bond.
Her self-blame at this moment was genuine.
Liang Yuan checked Liu Feifei’s breathing and found she still had it.
He then examined Liu Feifei’s forehead and found it swollen.
He immediately said, "No skin break, only swollen. She might just be unconscious. Let’s take her back and check."
A head injury could be serious, but if there’s no internal bleeding, it might not be a big deal.
However, if there’s brain bleeding, it would be a major problem.
Liang Yuan picked up Liu Feifei, noticing the green glow from Song Wen’s hand earlier, he asked, "Did you awaken your mutant ability?"
"Huh? I... I don’t know. I ate a green bead earlier and felt my body heat up..."
Song Wen quickly explained, the earlier danger made her forget about this event.
Liang Yuan didn’t press for more details and carried Liu Feifei, leading the three of them upstairs swiftly.
The immediate priority was to deal with Wang Ze; he didn’t know how Ding Yan was doing.
