The shopping mall that was once brightly lit every night is now shrouded in darkness.
Everything below the fifth floor was flooded.
The windows were almost all broken, the exterior wall paint had fallen off over a large area, and abandoned cars and trees blown in by the typhoon were vaguely visible.
Lu Yu chose a secluded location, secured the rubber boat, and walked into the mall through the window.
Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia followed closely behind.
There weren't many people out looking for supplies right now, and the mall was eerily quiet.
"We will act separately and must reunite here before daybreak."
After saying that, Lu Yu took out two flashlights and gave them to Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia, then left.
Xiao Chuxia looked at Jiang Fei expectantly: "Miss, let's go together."
"No." Jiang Fei answered decisively:
"If you're scared, just search on this floor. If there's anything important missing, I can bring it back for you."
She was looking for gold, so it was not appropriate for her to bring Xiao Chuxia with her.
Seeing Jiang Fei's refusal, Xiao Chuxia didn't force him: "I want sanitary napkins. The stock at home is almost used up. I'm afraid that if the heavy rain continues, there will be no place to buy them."
"It would be even better if there was brown sugar. I like eating brown sugar glutinous rice dumplings the most. They are sweet and sticky."
Xiao Chuxia, who had been holding it in all the way, was just about to start talking when Jiang Fei slipped away.
Xiao Chuxia was left alone there, holding a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other, staring eagerly.
Miss, you must come back soon!
She is afraid!
—
Jiang Fei did not leave the 5th floor, but took out some supplies from the supermarket warehouse.
Walk a few steps, throw something, and make sure Xiao Chuxia can pick it up.
She doesn't like to owe favors to others.
Just think of it as Xiao Chuxia’s bag of fresh produce for all seasons.
After throwing away almost everything, Jiang Fei put on his diving gear, jumped into the water, and headed straight for the jewelry stores on the first floor.
There were too many obstacles in the water, so Jiang Fei didn't dare to swim fast.
It would be nice if I could collect things with just my mind.
Unfortunately, she has to touch the objects with her hands before she can put them into the supermarket warehouse.
After finding a jewelry store, Jiang Fei deftly avoided obstacles, went in, and closed the shop when he saw the counter.
No matter who you are, come in!
[Ding—Gold detected: 1658 grams.]
[Ding—Gold detected: 1111 grams.]
[Ding—Gold detected: 265 grams.]
The system's prompt sounds rang out one after another, and Jiang Fei smiled with his eyes curved.
This trip is worth it!
Jiang Fei reluctantly went ashore only when the oxygen tank was almost exhausted.
[Ding——Current unlock progress of the third area: 98%]
Just a little bit more.
After returning the diving equipment to the supermarket warehouse, Jiang Fei checked the remaining number of oxygen cylinders. There were still two bottles. She didn't buy too many online at that time.
Jiang Fei did not plan to go into the water again, but took out an inflatable boat and went to Wanfulou near the shopping mall.
They specialize in selling gold.
She wants the ones in the water, and she will definitely not let go of the ones in the building.
She just doesn't believe that she can't unlock area 1 tonight!
Wanfu Building has a total of eight floors, but now only two floors are exposed above the water, and the floors below are all flooded.
A faint firelight shone from a window on the seventh floor.
Is anyone there?
Jiang Fei went around to the back of Wanfulou and got ashore. He secured the rubber boat, took out his dagger, and tiptoed in.
All the counters in sight were smashed, obviously taken away by the group that arrived first.
Hearing intermittent voices coming from the staff lounge, Jiang Fei approached cautiously.
The sound gradually became clearer——
"When will this flood end? I dream of leaving this damn place."
"Once the flood is over and order is restored, those police will start arresting us. Do you want to go back to prison and live your old life? Continue to be a murderer?"
"Okay, let's think about how to divide these things first."
Jiang Fei understood.
These are three fugitives.
The door of the lounge was removed, and Jiang Fei, hiding in the dark, could clearly see what was going on inside.
Three men, one tall, one short, and one thin, sat around the fire, with several black luggage bags piled around them, which must have contained gold.
She is good at robbing other thieves.
Jiang Fei picked up a small stone and deliberately threw it at the iron cabinet behind the tall man.
The crisp sound instantly made the three of them stand up.
"who?!"
Jiang Fei seized the opportunity and rushed in, stabbing the tall man in the neck with a knife.
While the other two were still not able to react, Jiang Fei quickly drew his sword and dealt with the nearest short man.
The remaining thin man was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot: "Please don't kill me! You can take anything here!"
The thin man hurriedly pushed the luggage bag over.
Jiang Fei opened it and took a look.
They are all instant noodles, ham, sausage and bread.
"Where's the gold?"
The thin man trembled and replied, "That broken thing can't be eaten or used to make fire. We threw it away today. It must have sunk to the bottom of the water..."
As the last word fell, the thin man's head was chopped off and fell to the ground.
Jiang Fei felt very aggrieved.
After all the trouble, she still has to go into the water. What is she doing here?
To eliminate harm for the people?
Boom boom boom——!
Suddenly, there was a banging sound from the wardrobe beside him, and Jiang Fei immediately clenched the knife in his hand.
Bang!
The cabinet door was slammed open.
The man kneeling on the ground, tied up with ropes, spat out the unknown object stuffed in his mouth and said weakly:
"Hero, save me..."
