The second floor is a children's playground and sauna, and the third floor is the guest rooms. Jiang Shuyin climbed up the floors one by one, her emotions rising with each floor. Along the way, she encountered some corpses with traces of being eaten by wild animals.
Where did those wild beasts come from in the city center? They were probably done by those mutants.
Upon reaching the fourth floor, Jiang Shu led the way down the long corridor. A light flickered in the darkness, making her inexplicably nervous, but she still took steps closer.
A pair of hands suddenly touched her ankles, and Jiang Shuyin was so frightened that she slammed a stick down on them.
"Ugh—" The person who was hit cried out in pain and let go. Jiang Shuyin turned around and then noticed that it was a person.
Without bloodshot eyes and sharp claws, her pale, bloodless face was haphazardly covered by disheveled hair. Only the exposed features revealed her handsome features. The head she had struck with such precision had begun to bleed, the blood spreading across the floor.
Jiang Shuyin thought for a moment, then softly murmured, "Treatment."
Green specks of light danced on his body like fireflies, and the green light on his head emitted waves of light. Jiang Shuyin stood up and leaned against the wall, quietly watching this healing scene.
About a minute later, the fireflies gradually dimmed, and the healing skills also faded.
Jiang Shu extended two fingers to check under his nose. His breathing was even and his vital signs were stable. So she continued scanning the floors; there were still three floors left.
After the footsteps disappeared, Shen Wei finally opened his eyes fully. In fact, he had been fully conscious when the glow disappeared, but he didn't know whether the person was good or bad, so he chose to pretend to be asleep.
He had already gripped the hilt of the knife when the other person reached out his hand.
But... unexpectedly, the other party was checking if he was still alive. Shen Wei was slightly embarrassed, and her ears turned red, but fortunately, they were covered by her hair.
The person seemed unaware of who he was and was about to leave. Shen Wei quietly opened his eyes a crack, trying to remember her appearance. The gentle and graceful figure stood out starkly against the bleak and quiet environment.
He didn't get up, but opened his eyes and lay on his side on the ground to listen carefully. There were only light footsteps from upstairs on the floor. Where were the monster's heavy footsteps?
————
Finding nothing on the fifth and sixth floors, Jiang Shuyin began to suspect that this conscious mutant might have driven away other monsters and had a territorial desire. Was there only one mutant in the Ottoman Hotel?
The fire door on the seventh floor was locked, and the perlite inside had been smashed to pieces on the ground. Jiang Shuyin studied the lock and realized that it could be opened with just a slight twist and pressure.
Behind the door, the lights were on, as if the scene before the apocalypse still existed, thanks to that locked door.
The floor was so smooth it reflected light. This floor wasn't very high, but the view was exceptional. You could see the layout for hundreds of meters around at a glance. In the middle was the dining area, with several round tables set up in the carpet pattern. Near the floor-to-ceiling windows, there were sofas and a bar counter in the cubicle.
Natural light streamed in, casting slanted shadows on the objects in the room. Jiang Shuyin was captivated by this tranquil beauty, so she sat down on the sofa, leaning back and gazing absently at the overhead light.
The warm afternoon sun shone on her head, its residual heat still noticeable. The central air conditioning on the seventh floor seemed to still be on, so she didn't feel stuffy. She wasn't thinking about anything; she saw the lights as lights and the flowers as flowers.
Qingwu squeezed out of her hat. After eating the crystal core, her body, without expanding, was the size of a basketball.
"Go ahead and play, I'm going to rest for a bit."
I lay sprawled on the sofa, flat on my back, and suddenly felt homesick.
After completing the A-level mission, she decided to go home and visit her family, and gently closed her eyes.
With each blink of an eye, the clock hands on the wall moved rapidly clockwise for four hours. As evening approached, the sunset outside the window was infinitely beautiful. The room was bright, and waking up felt reassuring. The vibrant rose-red outside the window was worth capturing with my phone.
Jiang Shuyin also took a picture with her bracelet and sent it to Xie Yin: Isn't it pretty?
At the top of the world, Xie Yin was also sitting on the sofa. Nova shared some snacks with him called 'Crystal Core Chips,' which were somewhat like human potato chips. The noise from the bracelet attracted all his attention.
Nova chuckled: "This human gadget is interesting. Can I take it too?"
Xie Yin unlocked his bracelet, opened the message, and saw a picture. Judging from the angle, she should be on the seventh floor of the low building next to him.
What should we pay attention to regarding the scattering of sunlight through clouds?
He sent a question mark.
Nova cleared his throat.
Xie Yin glanced at him. After a moment of thought, he said, "You only need to join the local superhuman department to receive it. It's quite interesting and can help you integrate into human society as quickly as possible."
Nova: "Well, I'll pass this message on to my people. It's interesting to hear from Kelton. I'm really looking forward to it."
The Kelton family of Division 43 in the Gamma Galaxy is known for their carefree and vindictive nature. They usually wander aimlessly through the starry sky, but if someone foolishly sends a spaceship through their body, they're doomed.
Kelton will hunt these people down from one side of the universe to the other, until he is certain that the person who offended them is dead.
Some weaker Keltons will wear down their opponents by using their lifespan, leaving them to spend their lives on the run and wandering.
Nova was so polite because he had witnessed the glorious deeds of the Kelton family. Xie Yin rested his chin on the back of his hand, staring at the setting sun, his dark eyes tinged with the translucent amber light.
Nova asked curiously, "Was that fireball really that beautiful?"
Xie Yin: "My partner showed it to me, and I asked her what she thought, but I haven't received a reply yet."
Nova watched with him for a while. The intelligent creature speculated and analyzed the problem from various aspects. It couldn't be explained by science, but it made sense from the perspective of human emotions: "She has feelings for you. Most humans are creatures dominated by emotions."
"Goodwill?" Xie Yin was probably an ignorant student, unfamiliar with the definition of the term he only vaguely understood.
Nova felt his body start to secrete stimulants. He grabbed a handful of chips and chewed them, then happily explained to him, "Affection means the emotion of satisfaction or liking for a person or thing. If it continues to develop, it can become liking, and the highest level is love. If it fails to develop, it will become dislike, dissatisfaction, or hatred."
The first half of the sentence sounded alright, but the second half made Xie Yin want to ruthlessly interrupt him.
As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, half of the Earth fell into darkness, and the other half into light.
Night fell, and black fog enveloped the earth.
Nova reluctantly returned to the building, not wanting any physical contact with Kelton, and used the single cell that had detached from his body to send a message to his people.
Neutral intelligent beings are willing to coexist with humans.
