Backyard Fire

If anything on the 5th floor of Jinrui Hotel is the largest, it must be the flowering plant that occupies the rooftop garden on the 5th floor. They also saw the head of a Jingba dog in a flower at that time, and indeed saw the dog still gasping for breath with its mouth open, which is very likely still alive.

Combined with the restaurant downstairs and what the survivors on the 28th floor called the "mutated dog," it is highly likely that this mutated dog is the second level threat marked on the map.

Since such a large plant is the first level threat red dot, what about those densely packed first and second level threat red dots?

Tom suddenly remembered the 17th person who went missing in the 6th floor camp.

"I have to warn the 23rd," Tom immediately thought of it, but the next moment he suppressed the impulse and forced himself to put it aside for now. After he redeemed the technology, the redemption room will not be open again during the period when the shelter is open. He needs to take this opportunity to quickly take note of the surrounding situation.

He immediately zoomed in on the map and found more than ten green dots in a house to the west of the World Trade Plaza, and several dots in a tall building to the east. Around the green dots of these two groups of survivors, there are also threats from first and second level mutated creatures, and even to the east, the red and green groups are intertwined, possibly engaged in a melee.

This should be the only survivor around here.

After closing the map, Tom quickly left the exchange room and went to the lobby to open the door, allowing a group of highly guarded people outside to enter.

During the time Tom entered, they killed about ten mosquitoes, two of which were still mutated.

Since there are still survivors near the International Trade Plaza, it is possible that it is Zhao Manqing or his sister Luo Xuan. Since he has come here, he must not give up easily.

So he first sent three people to drive a car back to the Jinrui Hotel restaurant campsite, reminding the 23rd to pay attention to the threat coming down from the rooftop and suggesting that they consider moving the campsite to a shelter, as it is safer here. At the same time, it was reported that two groups of survivors were found at the International Trade Plaza, and our side will send people to search as soon as possible.

The soldier delivering the message left, and Tom was not idle either. He left Zhao Xin and 10 soldiers behind to protect the survivors in the shelter, while he himself followed the mutated black cat bell to a survivor gathering place further east. Because the map shows that they may be fighting against mutated creatures and must require rescue.

As for Ouyang Haotian and others, they went to a survivor gathering point relatively closer to the west to rescue them.

Although it was late at night now, Tom had already seen the distribution of mutated organisms around him from the map. He drew a simple map and instructed Zhao Zijian, who was leading the team, to avoid the difficult gathering place of mutated organisms. He himself wore worker ant armor and rode a bell straight east.

Since subduing the bell, the little cat has been quite obedient to Tom, but this time it is unwilling to let Tom tie a big car to its back. In the end, Tom can only compromise and let the bell go lightly without dragging the big car, and then make a plan to help the survivors solve the threat.

This run took over twenty minutes and successfully arrived at a shopping mall.

The pulled down iron gate could not stop Tom's metal shaping. After he opened his mouth, the bell smoothly slipped in and carried him straight to the seventh floor.

The once bustling shopping mall is now only shrouded in gloomy darkness. This is a standard layout structure, with various shopping stores on the first to sixth floors. On the seventh floor, it is naturally a resting and dining floor for cafes, restaurants, McDonald's.

People who have survived for more than half a year under the influence of micro disasters are naturally not fools. There are not many options to choose from in modern reinforced concrete forests like Morikawa City that meet the two conditions of food and safety. Restaurants are often the best choice.

There are several restaurants on this floor, and Tom rode his bell in search. Finally, he found the remains of several cockroaches under the corner of a restaurant wall.

So he controlled the bell to jump up the window and indeed found a big hole, and immediately got in.

Where is the safest place in a restaurant?

That's naturally the kitchen.

As a result, no living people were found here, but rather two charred human remains were seen.

Burned and then gnawed on.

Tom nodded, it seemed that these survivors had discovered the key issue, knowing that the burned human corpse would not mutate if eaten by other creatures. Reducing the number of mutated organisms around is undoubtedly more beneficial for one's own safety.

He searched around and made sure he didn't find any living people, so he drove the bell to leave and move on to another family.

In the end, after searching for three restaurants, Tom successfully found survivors in Madonna Laurie.

The awakeners in the venue, who can resonate with the yellow energy storage crystal, illuminate the entire venue like a 100 watt humanoid light bulb. Two people wearing various simple iron plates are fighting with a few large mice with blades. There is also a circle of dead cockroaches and ants around.

At the corner, more than ten people huddled behind a woman, who opened a pale yellow light shield to resist dozens of small mice approaching.

Tom only took a glance and judged that these people had strong abilities. As survivors struggling to survive, they did have their own unique qualities to live to this day.

However, the current situation is not optimistic. Two people dressed in iron plates have been knocked down, and the mice are rushing forward and constantly pulling. If left unattended, they will soon be torn to pieces.

So Tom clapped the bell, and the mutated little black cat jumped up with a powerful meow. Opening its mouth was an air compressor cannon, which blew the mice away. Then he pounced on the largest second level mutant mouse and pressed it fiercely with his claws.

And Tom also took advantage of the bell falling to the ground and jumped onto another big mouse that couldn't escape. The shapeshifting knife fiercely penetrated its back, holding the handle of the knife in one hand and the assault rifle firmly hanging on it to fire.

The big mouse being ridden kept jumping and jumping, while the small mouse next to him was hit by the assault rifle and retreated in succession, which immediately helped the two of them break free.

Before Tom could finish killing the mouse he was riding on, the two of them quickly got up and waved their blades to help Tom cut down the mouse.

With the addition of Tom and Bells, these mice couldn't lift the waves at all. It only took a few minutes, and the group of mice left over twenty corpses and fled in a hurry.

"Thank you..." A person dressed in sheet metal armor panted and ran over to shake hands with Tom, using the light from the humanoid light bulb next to him to see that he was actually a woman.

A sturdy body, tall stature, with a flat head after removing a rudimentary helmet, it's hard to tell if it's a woman without careful consideration.

"No need to thank you, I came specifically to find you." Tom held her hand together and could clearly feel that it was covered in scars, very rough, but very calm and powerful.

"My name is Tom and I come from the shelter of Haiwei Mini Industry."

"Are you talking about a shelter?" The female humanoid light bulb next to her jumped up with joy, and then the light stopped turning off due to her excited emotions. Two seconds later, it lit up again. The people around also cheered loudly and were very happy.

The armored woman also smiled and said, "My name is Liu Qi."

The other one in armor is also a woman. She is a bit shorter than Liu Qi, with particularly big eyes and long eyelashes that look quite cute with a few blinks. It's just a long scar that slants from the forehead through the nose and finally lands on the chin, destroying the delicate face but giving off a heroic feeling. She blinked her eyes and wiped a handful of sweat, saying, "My name is Cheng Lili."

The girl with a humanoid light bulb introduced herself with a sweet smile and said, "My name is Xu Lili."

Through her light, Tom looked around and saw that among the dozen or so people, there were only five or six males, with a considerable proportion of females. Combined with the attributes of this shopping mall, he can probably guess why the proportion of female members is so high.

But now is not an opportunity to understand their past, the top priority is to send them back as soon as possible. Zhao Zijian may need his support.

So he first asked them where the nearest toy store was in this building, and on-site modifications of remote-controlled cars could take people back. Then Cheng Lili told him that the eighth floor is the entertainment floor, and besides the cinema and game hall, there is naturally a toy store.

Tom immediately climbed up the eighth floor with this group of women's soldiers, and under the guidance of Cheng Lili, he went to a toy store and indeed found a toy car.

Under the shining light of Xu Lili, the women were surprised to see a piece of iron melting like chocolate at Tom's touch, and then automatically growing into a metal box. Subsequently, Liu Qi and Cheng Lili worked together to dismantle the upper part of the largest electric remote-controlled toy car, and then installed the metal box with multiple air holes on top.

As for the remote control, Tom can only stick it to the roof of the car with transparent glue, and then he will sit on it and drive.

Half a year has passed since the Miniature Cataclysm, and these dozen or so people are quite optimistic. During Tom's transformation process, they chattered incessantly, most of which were aimed at the mutated Little Black Cat Bell.

After all, women are born with no resistance to furry things, whether it's cats, dogs, or mink coats. And the bell also enjoys the pleasure of being tickled by a group of small people, even if they are too small.

During the renovation, Liu Qi, as the leader of the team, cautiously inquired about the situation of Haiwei Mini Industry and did not seem to let down her guard against Tom, who suddenly appeared. This cautious and non superstitious attitude is indeed a qualified leader. No wonder this team can maintain an optimistic attitude despite limited resources and a safe camp.

After the renovation, Tom tied the toy car to Bell's body and reluctantly carried it down to the first floor. Only then did he pack the survivors into the carriage and start their journey back to the shelter.

Liu Qi did not go in. As the captain, she strongly demanded to stay on the roof of the car with Tom. Although her tattered armor had limited protection, it was evident that she was quite experienced, so Tom agreed to her request.

After spending over half an hour this time, I finally returned to the old customs shelter. However, as soon as he entered the door, Tom realized that the situation was not right. One soldier sat beside him in pain with a broken arm, while the others were extremely scared.

Tom recognized that this soldier was one of the ones he had sent back to report to the 23rd earlier. According to the plan, they returned to the camp to report the situation to the 23rd, and then brought back the subsequent orders from the 23rd. Now with all this blood, is it a chance encounter halfway through?

There's no reason, Tom confirmed in the exchange room that the road to Jinrui Hotel is very safe.

"What happened on the 23rd?" Tom asked solemnly.
