The sixth floor only had a few shell companies, with tables crammed together in twos and threes.
Without the need to guard against harassment from infected individuals, the search and looting process can be much faster.
In no time, all the rooms, big and small, were ransacked.
A bag of Aoao biscuits, a piece of Tulijia chocolate, a tub of Kebibi potato chips, and a can of Wang Xiaoji.
Surprisingly, a can of gasoline was also found.
Even mosquito meat is still meat, so Liu Nian wasn't discouraged.
With a wave of his hand, I gladly accept it all!
After tidying up, and with the aim of summarizing the experience, we began to review the battle we had just fought.
Ghouls will attack skeletons, which are also undead units, unlike infected which only chase themselves.
The spear has an attack power of 3-5, which can easily pierce the skin of a ghoul, while the bone knife will only leave a shallow wound. It is estimated that the skeleton's attack power is around 1-3.
Since ghouls can easily tear apart the bones of skeletons, and no infected individuals were found at the scene with claws tearing through their flesh, it is difficult to infer the ghouls' attack power.
The amount of health is even more difficult to predict, since there is no health bar directly above the character's head.
Will the bleeding effect from the spear's piercing attack cause additional bleeding?
Is the act of using a spear to hold the ghoul a single attack or a multi-stage attack?
Will a headshot deal more damage than a normal attack?
Liu Nian clutched her head in anguish, unable to comprehend the many unknowns that lay ahead.
The monster is currently known to be a ghoul, and the infected person on the sixth floor was most likely devoured by the ghoul.
Ghouls devour corpses, so perhaps they could be put to use. Thinking of the corpses left upstairs, Liu Nian's thoughts began to wander.
Without further ado, I picked up the gasoline can, went into the elevator lobby, and tested whether the elevator could still function properly. I took the opportunity to be lazy.
Press the floor button, and the elevators on the fifth and seventh floors will simultaneously move towards the sixth floor.
With a "ding," the elevator doors slowly opened in front of Liu Nian.
The infamous life-or-death crisis didn't happen, which made Liu Nian feel both a little disappointed and relieved.
This conflicted mindset stems from the anxieties of an impending escalation.
The eighth floor was reached in an instant. Liu Nian remembered that when they were scavenging for supplies, there were many empty glass bottles stored in the workshop.
Gasoline and glass bottles—a bold idea formed in Liu Nian's mind.
After a long while, the last strip of cloth soaked in gasoline was used to tightly seal the glass bottle, and the item to be made was finally completed.
Liu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and stretched, her legs and feet becoming numb from sitting for so long.
A glance at the eight glass bottles on the table might have led some to guess that these are Motolov cocktails, which are essentially Molotov cocktails.
The skeleton that has been summoned is already severely damaged and may fall apart at any moment.
Liu Nian also tried to summon a skeleton again, but frustratingly, even after consuming ten mana points, the summoning still failed.
You can't summon any more.
That's what the system says.
Good grief, this has put our already meager mana reserves in grave danger.
After all, I'm not some chosen one or a chosen one. I vented my frustrations, but I still have to keep working.
They laboriously dragged the two corpses from the eighth floor to the rooftop to prevent being unable to summon skeletons when they returned from their escape.
With the preparations complete, we can begin.
—Divider—
"Squeak squeak" "Squeak squeak"
The two ghouls wandering on the fifth floor sniffed greedily.
It smelled like food; one of the ghouls stuck out its tongue and licked its lips.
Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, splashing onto the floor and creating a spray.
The two ghouls, about the same size, shoved each other as they ran toward the wooden door at the end of the corridor, from where the aroma of food was emanating.
Beneath the open wooden door, two infected corpses lay silently on the ground, emitting an alluring…? Alluring, ghostly scent.
Hearing footsteps echoing from the depths of the corridor, Liu Nian nervously swallowed.
Closer and closer, the wooden door, vibrating with each footstep, began to sway slightly.
The sound of flesh being torn apart came, followed quickly by an even more teeth-grinding chewing sound.
Calming herself down, Liu Nian cautiously peeked out from the corner on the sixth floor.
Two ghouls were fighting over the remains on the ground, unaware that they too would become prey.
He stepped back around the corner, turned on the lighter with a "whoosh," and lit the gasoline-soaked strip of cloth. The flames instantly engulfed the cloth.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Nian popped her head out, raised her hand, and threw the bottle in one smooth motion.
The Molotov cocktail traced an arc through the air before crashing into the wooden door.
Then came the sound of shattering glass, and sparks spread along the gasoline.
The ghoul, still unaware of what was happening, was happily eating when the sudden turn of events left him completely bewildered.
The infected remains, laced with chemicals, ignited instantly, and the sparks spread to the ghouls in a flash.
The ghoul on the left, unfortunately, was carrying a piece of corpse in its mouth. Sparks flew along the corpse and burned into the ghoul's body, causing it to writhe in pain on the ground.
Despite landing a successful blow, Liu Nian showed little joy on her face.
Just to be on the safe side, Liu Nian lit two more Molotov cocktails and threw them at the ghouls rolling around on the spot.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Due to their close proximity and large size, the Molotov cocktail accurately hit the two unfortunate ghouls.
The ghoul let out a rapid howl, flailing its limbs and rolling on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames on its body.
"Should we go?" Unsure of the ghoul's condition, they dared not act rashly.
"Let the bullets fly a little longer, it's always better to be cautious!" Liu Nian said, looking at the ghoul struggling on the ground.
After burning for a while, the flames grew weaker and weaker, and the ghouls were in no better shape.
Extensive areas of exposed skin were burned, with blisters surrounding the charred tissue, and the smell of burning wafted through the air from time to time.
Liu Nian carefully walked down the stairs and saw this scene.
He gripped the Molotov cocktail tightly in his right hand, ready to throw it if things went wrong.
Upon seeing the culprit, the two ghouls lying on the ground glared fiercely and struggled to their feet, ready to fight to the death.
The squeaking sounds continued incessantly.
The ghoul screamed as it approached the grotesque ghost. The skeleton fearlessly stepped forward to meet it, but before it could even raise its bone knife, it was shattered by the combined force of two sharp claws.
The system notification sounded: "Your summoned creature has been killed."
Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Nian threw the bottle and decisively chose to run away.
The ghouls behind him were itching to devour Liu Nian.
Naturally, he wouldn't let that annoying person escape from under his nose.
Ignoring the flames burning on his body, he chased after Liu Nian in the direction she had fled.
Seeing the ghoul chasing after him out of the corner of his eye, Liu Nian quickened his pace of retreat.
"Good thing you came. I was just afraid you wouldn't have kept up."
Heading straight to the rooftop, Liu Nian closed the iron gate and, not daring to delay, began chanting a spell.
The ten-second casting time passed in the blink of an eye, and a new skeleton rose from the ground.
At this moment, the iron gate also shattered under the ghoul's claws.
