Qi Wei understood Li Guangquan's words and even more so the pause he made afterward.
The anger in his eyes grew stronger.
"No, don't..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Qi Wei angrily conjured a golden blade and pierced it through the man's chest, spurting blood that pooled on the floor tiles.
The boy hiding in the closet peered through the crack and saw his brother was dead. He covered his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound. So much had happened in the past few days; he had grown up and understood everything.
But tears welled up in his eyes and dripped uncontrollably onto the back of his hand, the despair of losing his last loved one spreading through his heart.
Afraid of not being able to see the villains who killed his brother clearly, he quickly wiped away his tears and stared intently at their faces, memorizing their ugly appearance.
He hoped that one day he could avenge his brother.
"Boss, what do we do with this body?" someone asked Qi Wei.
“It’s such a waste to throw it away; the brothers haven’t eaten meat in a long time,” the man added, his meaning quite clear.
Qi Wei frowned. He found the idea of eating two-legged sheep disgusting, but supplies were scarce. If he didn't let them eat it, they would compete with him for supplies. So he turned a blind eye and acquiesced to their actions.
"Do as you please."
Upon hearing this, the person who asked the question immediately smiled and called to another person who had eaten two legs of mutton to help lift it.
"Waaah." The boy hiding in the closet understood what they were talking about, and he couldn't hold back his sobs any longer.
Gradually, a golden light shone from his eyes, and a spherical mental domain with a radius of one meter unfolded around him. He wanted to rush out and snatch his brother's body back.
Because it hadn't absorbed energy for so long, that small mental realm quickly disappeared.
"Is that what you call crying?" Li Guangquan said, puzzled.
Just as the group was about to come in to check, the little boy, trembling, stared anxiously at the wardrobe door.
Just then, several bird-like monsters covered in pustules suddenly flew out of the window.
Smelling the blood and seeing the windows wide open, they called to their companions and rushed inside.
Upon seeing the group of bird-like monsters, Qi Wei and the others hurriedly shouted and fled. The two people who were carrying the corpses were too slow and were ruthlessly locked inside the house by Qi Wei and the others.
Screams mingled with the sounds of the bird-like monster eating, and the people outside the door were so frightened that they pressed even harder against the door.
Qi Wei and Li Guangquan seized the opportunity to escape and ran downstairs back to 1201.
When Shen Jiaojiao saw Qi Wei return, she quickly opened the door and greeted him with a smile.
"You damn woman, what are you blocking the way for? Close the door right now, or those bird-like monsters will fly in." Qi Wei pushed her away forcefully, ran back to the sofa and sat down, not forgetting to tell Shen Jiaojiao to close the door.
Shen Jiaojiao stumbled from the push, turned around with a cold face, and closed the door.
1201 is clearly her home, but now she lives here worse than a servant.
But since Qi Wei is the hero who cleared out the monsters in the stairwell, it's understandable that he has a temper. Her life was indirectly saved by Qi Wei!
Seeing Qi Wei sit down, Li Guangquan quickly came to his side and started talking badly about the 17th floor again.
He still remembered the grudge of his leg being broken on the 17th floor before the monster arrived.
"Boss, there must still be supplies on the 17th floor. And if you get rid of such a selfish and indiscriminate killer before the apocalypse and distribute the supplies, who in the entire fourth unit will dare to disobey you?"
Qi Wei wasn't very bright. After being embellished by Li Guangquan's words, he impulsively decided to lead his men to the 17th floor.
His wiser father stopped him from acting impulsively; the old man could tell at a glance that Li Guangquan wasn't thinking of his son's best interests.
Li Guangquan has a personal grudge against the 17th floor and is clearly trying to use someone else to do his dirty work.
“Son, I heard that the guy on the 17th floor has a chainsaw and a pistol. He’s survived all this time alone in this monster-filled world. He might have some other tricks up his sleeve. We need to think this through carefully. Better safe than sorry.”
"Yes, then let's listen to my dad."
Seeing that his efforts to sow discord had failed, Li Guangquan cursed the ancestors of the two men in his heart.
...
After killing the four villains, things calmed down considerably in Unit 4.
Gu Mingyue hadn't heard anyone come to the 17th floor to ask for help or commit violence in the past few nights.
In high spirits, she led her pets directly to the commercial street away from the Junyue Mansion residential area.
Anything edible was either looted by humans or devoured by monsters.
Gu Mingyue only found some daily necessities that no one had taken.
"Ahhh, don't eat me!" Someone was screaming for help and running frantically outside.
The shouts made Gu Mingyue immediately stop what she was doing.
Finally, a monster appeared and let her touch the crystal core. Two beams of excitement shot out from Gu Mingyue's eyes.
"Little Wolf, Little Flower, you two go out through the back door of the shop and flank them," she said to the Czech wolfhound and the golden hamster, then crouched down and squatted at the shop entrance, looking out.
There were three humanoid monsters. The leader was a late-stage level one monster. Its mouth was deformed, with two rows of dense fangs growing inside. Its neck was also very long, about a meter long.
Just like giraffes, they grow tall so they can eat the leaves on tall trees.
The monster's neck is elongated in order to bite its prey earlier than its companions.
If it evolves to level two, its neck can even grow to three meters long, making it a true long-necked monster.
Gu Mingyue has collected quite a few crystal cores over the past few days, and is now in the late stage of level one.
To evolve to level two, she either needs to absorb several level two crystal cores or absorb a dozen or more level one late-stage crystal cores. Level one early-stage crystal cores are almost useless to her now, so she can only give them to her pets.
Fearing that the humanoid monster would escape, Gu Mingyue even released Xinghe to show her respect for the late-stage level one monster.
The running man saw a shop with its doors wide open and ran straight in without thinking.
As soon as I entered, I ran to a shelf, and the monster's long neck hesitated slightly before reaching in.
Recently, a mysterious superhuman has been circulating in the monster world. This person can control the minds of his fellow monsters and extract their crystal cores when they are unable to resist.
The humanoid monster, about to evolve into level two, cautiously glanced inside with its completely black eyes.
The person who had just entered realized that he wasn't the only one hiding in the room. He saw a stunningly beautiful couple hidden on another shelf, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Finally, he put his hand in front of his mouth, signaling the two not to make any noise and disturb the monster outside.
This person was none other than Yang Zhong from apartment 202 in unit 4. His family's food supplies had all been eaten, so he thought he would come out to search for some supplies.
I never expected to see such a terrifying humanoid monster as soon as I came out.
Since drinking Black Rain, Gu Mingyue has gained the same photographic memory as Xinghe.
I've already recognized the person next to me as someone who lives in the same building.
