Ding Yan immediately stepped back and mouthed the words ’someone’s here’.
Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai also stopped, exchanged glances, and Liang Yuan took the initiative to speak to the people inside the house: "Sorry, we are leaving now."
He didn’t want to complicate things; at this moment, it’s better not to provoke strangers.
If there was a Mutant Ability User inside, a misunderstanding might lead to a fight, causing a big commotion.
Saying this, he took Ding Yan and Zhao Kai and retreated, planning to head towards the opposite door.
But then, a voice came from inside: "Wait, wait a moment, are you from Building 76 across from here? Are you the Liang Yuan mentioned by Dong Yan?"
The person inside suddenly became excited, speaking in a low and hurried voice.
Liang Yuan and the others immediately showed expressions of surprise.
Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he quickly replied: "I am Liang Yuan, who are you?"
The door opened directly, and inside, a thin young man looked outside nervously and excitedly.
Seeing the three of them, he was slightly stunned and then quickly said: "Who is Mr. Liang Yuan?"
"I am." Liang Yuan stepped forward.
The man hurriedly said: "Hello, hello, Mr. Liang. I am Gu Feng, a childhood friend of Dong Yan. She told me you would come; I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon."
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "Dong Yan told you? She’s trapped at home, unable to leave. How did you communicate?"
Gu Feng, about 1.72 meters tall, looked very thin due to long-term malnutrition.
His features were somewhat handsome, but perhaps due to long-term neglect, he appeared rather untidy.
Upon hearing Liang Yuan’s words, he hurriedly said: "Didn’t Dong Yan tell you? She has a Superpower; she can use Mind Link to communicate with people nearby."
Liang Yuan was stunned: "She has this ability?"
"Yes, her Mind Link is very powerful. It can not only facilitate long-distance mental communication but also soothe the emotions of mutant creatures."
"Recently, Wansong mutated and started killing and eating people everywhere. If it weren’t for her using Mind Link to forcibly soothe Wansong, we would all be dead."
" previously, she was the only one who could use this ability to go downstairs and catch fish to eat."
"Those Mutant Cats wouldn’t attack her. If she hadn’t caught fish and shared them with us survivors, I fear...I fear..."
Gu Feng’s eyes reddened, clearly imagining a terrifying outcome.
Liang Yuan didn’t expect that Dong Yan and her sibling would both be Mutant Ability Users and that she would be so kind to catch fish for her neighbors.
Ding Yan suddenly asked: "Then why is she blocked at the door by that Wansong?"
Gu Feng quickly replied: "I heard her say that she repeatedly used Mind Link to soothe Wansong’s emotions, leading to Wansong apparently becoming dependent on her. Thus, Wansong followed her and blocked her home."
"Are you going to eliminate Wansong? He is in Unit 3201. I can help you."
Liang Yuan looked at Gu Feng in surprise, asking: "How can you help?"
Ding Yan and Zhao Kai were also surprised; this person was trapped at home and couldn’t go out, yet he said he could help them, which was hard to believe.
Gu Feng hurriedly said: "I am also a Superpower User. I can exhale smoke, create a fog, and block his view."
Afraid of disbelief, he quickly opened his mouth and exhaled towards the corridor.
Instantly, white smoke billowed from his mouth, and soon the corridor was filled with white fog.
The fog was thick, and even though Liang Yuan and the others stood together, they could only see each other’s blurry figures.
Zhao Kai was surprised and couldn’t help but say: "With this ability, how are you still trapped at home?"
Ding Yan also wondered: "With this ability, you can completely avoid Wansong and go downstairs to catch fish."
Gu Feng opened his mouth and inhaled, and the white smoke in the corridor was immediately sucked back by him.
He then smiled bitterly: "I can avoid Wansong, but I can’t avoid the Mutant Cats on the first floor."
"Those Mutant Cats not only have good eyesight but also a keen sense of smell. Even in the fog, they can accurately find my location."
Liang Yuan and the others understood. This young man named Gu Feng, although awakened to his Superpower, seemed to only have fog-making ability, which didn’t seem to have any Combat Power.
No wonder he could only hide at home, relying on Dong Yan.
Liang Yuan asked: "In this building, besides you and Dong Yan and her sibling, how many people are still alive? Do you know?"
"Ah? I...I don’t know either. I only know that on this floor, only Dong Yan and her sibling and I are still alive."
"Others were either eaten by Wansong or escaped downstairs."
"Before the Mutant creatures appeared, there was a group of people in the building, relying on physical strength to form gangs and bully others."
"Many people were killed by them, and then someone went mad, awakening Mutant Abilities and becoming monsters, killing everywhere."
"The number of survivors decreased, and we dared only hide at home."
"Who knew home wouldn’t be safe? Mutant Cockroaches swarmed from the sewers, and now we have blocked the sewers."
Following Gu Feng’s explanation, Liang Yuan understood that very few people were still alive in Building 77.
Those who survived would only be Superpower Users.
"Right, Dong Yan might know. She has always taken risks to find food and help others."
"Mr. Liang, are you really confident about killing Wansong, the human-eating monster?"
Gu Feng looked nervously at Liang Yuan and the others, worried.
