Chapter 36 Under Siege

The road ahead was no longer peaceful, and they would encounter some situations almost every time they walked for a while. However, they were all just minor fights that could be resolved with a wave of their hands.

However, this slowed down the progress of the two of them.

It was not until noon that they had walked just a few kilometers, and were still ten kilometers away from Haicheng Building.

"At this rate, we may not be able to reach Haicheng Building today." Jiang Mi said vaguely while chewing on bread, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

"Use the flamethrower to clear a path." Jiang Xun frowned slightly.

"It can only be the."

After quickly finishing the bread in his hand and drinking two sips of water to replenish his strength, he took out the flamethrower from the space and handed it to Jiang Xun, while he himself held a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, keeping alert to his surroundings.

She didn't buy many flamethrowers. Although she could use a flamethrower to clear the way as soon as she went out, that would undoubtedly be a waste.

When she made this suggestion, Jiang Xun ruthlessly rejected it.

The flamethrower is far more useful than the time saved.

But now they had to enter the Haicheng Building before dark, otherwise they would be delayed for another day, so they had to use flamethrowers to clear the way.

Under the scorching flames of the flamethrower, the snow on the road was completely melted, and the two men moved forward more than twice as fast.

If it weren't for the time it took for the flamethrower to melt the snow, they would even be able to run.

By the time the two men reached the city center, they had already replaced the sixth flamethrower, and there were still three streets away from the Haicheng Building.

Seeing victory in sight, Jiang Mi showed a bit of joy on her face. She rubbed the dagger stained with smelly blood on the snow and said in an excited tone, "It's finally almost there."

There was not much time left before dark, so they had to speed up. However, there were more roadblocks in the city center, and vehicles piled up in a mess, collapsed billboards, broken glass windows, motorcycles, electric vehicles, and bicycles everywhere made the entire street extremely crowded.

They could only jump carefully on the roofs of these cars now.

The only good news is that we no longer need to use a flamethrower to clear this section of the road.

As he moved forward, Jiang Mi could see more and more bodies of the victims, all of them in a state of disrepair.

When he was about to leave the street, Jiang Mi suddenly heard a faint noise, followed by a series of roars in his ears.

"Without the deterrence of sunlight, these deformed ones have begun to move." Jiang Mi narrowed his eyes slightly, and after careful assessment, he quickly said: "Six deformed ones."

Jiang Xun, who was walking in front of her, stopped and stood still, looking in the gray snow.

After a few seconds, the two saw several mutants walking out of a shop not far in front of them.

These deformed people had twisted bodies, falling hair, black and blue skin, and large patches of scars like corpse spots on their bodies. Dense blue-black blood vessels were spread all over their bodies, their bloodshot eyeballs were bulging and almost falling out of their sockets, their mouths were wide open with twisted and intertwined teeth, and saliva was all over their mouths, making them look extremely disgusting and terrifying.

These deformed beings slowly approached the two of them, surrounding them and letting out low growls from time to time.

"Only six, quite few." Jiang Mi's expression remained unchanged. He raised his pistol and pulled the trigger at the nearest mutant.

With a muffled sound, a bloody hole suddenly exploded in the deformed person's head and he fell to the ground instantly.

Jiang Xun opened his hands slightly, and a dark blue electric ball the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in each palm. The next moment, he pushed his hands, and the two electric balls flew towards the two deformers.

Accompanied by crackling sounds, the two deformed beings immediately fell to the ground twitching, and became motionless in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them dealt with three people. Jiang Mi did not pause and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun to the next mutant. With two bangs, two more mutants fell to the ground.

Before she could fire a shot at the last one left, an electric ball had already flown over. In two breaths, all six mutants were dealt with.

Jiang Mi couldn't help but feel dazed by the ease. She recalled the fear she felt when she first faced a mutant in her previous life. At that time, she and her brother took a lot of effort to get rid of a mutant.

My brother was bitten and became infected, eventually causing his body to become deformed.

Although he gained super powers as a result, in the end...

Jiang Mi closed his eyes and wiped out the scenes of his past life from his mind.

"Let's go."

Jiang Xun withdrew his hand and continued moving forward.

As night fell, the two finally arrived at the Haitian Building.

The building has a total of 72 floors and the elevator is out of service. If the two want to reach the top of the building, they can only take the emergency passage and climb the stairs.

The first floor of the building was a large shopping mall. It was extremely dark inside at the moment, and the entrance was filled with garbage and mud. The two of them walked around it carefully, holding flashlights and tiptoeing towards the stairs.

The entire building was silent, and no sound could be heard except the breathing of the two people.

The two moved quickly and climbed to the 20th floor in ten minutes. At this point, the mud on the ground finally disappeared, but there were many messy footprints on the floor.

Jiang Mi had a hunch that something was wrong, so he squatted down and took a closer look, and discovered that the footprints were actually still a little wet. This was obviously the mud that had been brought up from downstairs not long ago, and it didn't even have time to freeze into blocks.

"There may be many survivors in this building." Jiang Mi saw the messy footprints and some of them were walking upstairs.

"Try not to alarm them." Jiang Xun glanced into the depths of the darkness, turned around and continued walking upstairs.

Jiang Mi turned the flashlight to low-light mode and walked more and more lightly.

When the two of them reached the 36th floor, Jiang Mi keenly heard some noise. He immediately pulled Jiang Xun and pointed at his ears, then pointed forward.

Jiang Xun understood immediately, and the two of them crouched and climbed up slowly. When they reached the 37th floor, they both heard a faint conversation coming from somewhere.

From the sound it sounded like a man and a woman, and they were quite close to the corridor entrance.

"Isn't it enough to have me? Brother Liu actually took in those two women, and one of them is even lazy!" The woman complained in a sharp voice.

"Look at how long it has been since you took a shower. Your body is so dirty that you can rub a mud ball out of it." A male voice said with a hint of joking.

"I didn't see you take less than a bite!"

"Hurry up, it will be dark soon and we won't be able to talk anymore, hurry up and do our work."

"Ouch, be gentle! You're hurting me!"

"Hey, don't you just like this tune? When Brother Liu treated you like this, I was so excited to hear you scream."

"Hmm~ Oh, that's annoying..."

The noises behind were becoming more and more unbearable. Jiang Mi couldn't help but secretly glance at Jiang Xun. Seeing that he still had no expression on his face, she felt a little disappointed.
