Xiao Shan's father's situation doesn't seem to be much better either; the number of cannibals they encounter along the way keeps increasing.
He took the emergency exit route, which was relatively safer.
But the higher they went, the more worried Xiaoshan's father became.
He gripped his pistol tightly, focusing his attention to the maximum.
The surge in adrenaline caused his heart to race.
A series of footsteps came from upstairs, and Xiaoshan's father also showed a nervous expression.
Just as he was about to push open the door, he heard a burst of gunfire coming from inside.
He quickly hid behind the wall and waited quietly for the gunshots to pass.
However, a few minutes later, a familiar voice came from inside.
"Dad, come out, I just saw you."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan's father showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Unfortunately, he could only enter from the direction of the emergency exit.
All that could be seen were ghouls with their legs and limbs broken, screaming in agony on the ground.
"Goodness, you're so fast! I swept all the way up here and you were still faster than you were going through the main entrance."
Lu Yuan simply smiled slightly.
"Hehe, as long as we break the legs of these ghouls, they'll basically be powerless. Let's hurry up and take these ghouls away, otherwise it'll be troublesome if they gather too many!"
"Yeah, that makes sense. I'll take care of the packing. You just send all these cannibals into the dimensional space. By the way, how many do the people in your space need?"
Lu Yuan didn't inquire about how many research samples Qiao Ya mentioned were needed.
So he paused for a moment and said.
"I reckon it would take at least a hundred or a thousand. Normally, vaccine research involves tens of thousands of people. Although their technology is more advanced, they would still need a few hundred or a thousand."
Upon hearing what Yuan said, Xiaoshan's father couldn't help but gasp.
"Hundreds or thousands of ghouls? Goodness, that's a lot! How long will it take us to catch them? I've only managed to get two along the way!"
"It's alright, I've already used nearly a hundred of them. I didn't expect the situation inside this building to be worse than we imagined!"
The two then chatted while working.
Soon all the cannibals on this floor were bound and sent into the dimensional space.
When Qiao Ya saw the ghouls rolling around on the ground, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"With these cannibals, I can proceed with my research. I've already developed several reagents, but I don't know if they'll be effective! Your batch of experimental samples arrived just in time, so now I can fully focus on my research!"
"How many cannibals are needed in total?"
Qiao Ya pondered for a moment.
"For the initial phase of the work, we'll need around two hundred units, and you've already brought almost all of them. We basically don't need the rest!"
Hearing Qiao Ya's words, Lu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"That's good. I thought we'd need more cannibals. Since it's almost ready, I'll bring in the rest of the cannibals to try and get you more experimental data!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan left the metaspace and continued working.
There weren't many cannibals on the floor. After the cannibal virus broke out here, the permanent residents of the building had already fled.
All that remained were the cannibals who aimlessly searched for living people.
The building was empty; they were currently living eight stories above the water.
If you go any further up, you'll reach the hospital, but the entrance to the hospital has been blocked off.
The only way to get in is to climb up the wall.
Together with Xiaoshan's father, they headed upstairs, capturing the ghouls while binding them and sending them into the dimensional space.
In this way, Qiao Ya obtained more than three hundred ghouls.
Lu Yuan looked up at the sealed gate above and decided to stop here.
"Now it's time for us to head back!"
"No problem. By the way, I wonder when the results of this experiment will be available!"
"It's hard to say. It'll probably be very slow for her to do the research alone. Let's not rush it. We can use this time to do some welding and modification work on our ship!"
Xiao Shan's father had no choice but to nod, and the two of them left the hospital building.
Just as they descended to the fifth floor above the water...
Suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside, and the rushing water sounded like a torrential downpour.
Lu Yuan looked up at the distant sky but found no trace of rain.
A slight look of doubt flashed across his face.
"Huh? It's not raining. What's going on? Why is there such a loud sound of water? Could it be that someone on top is doing this? Or did the boat capsize and the engine is still running in the water?"
Xiao Shan's father ran to the windowsill, held his rifle, and glanced out the window.
This one look was not a big deal; the next second, cold sweat streamed down his neck.
The water was teeming with all sorts of cannibals, each one pale and lifeless, looking like a corpse just pulled from a embalming solution—a truly horrifying and disgusting sight.
Xiao Shan's father quickly called out to Lu Yuan.
"Oh no! Those ghouls have crawled out of the water! We have to get out of here right now!"
