Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Initial Battle with Wang Yanmei

Liang Yuan’s expression darkened slightly. The mother and daughter imprisoned by Liu Erlong?

He had seen them through his drone before, and they were nothing more than ordinary women.

How could they have turned into vengeful spirits?

”No, no, that can’t be right. If people could really turn into ghosts, wouldn’t Liu Erlong and his crew all come back to get revenge on me?”

Liang Yuan suppressed this absurd guess and immediately thought of another possibility.

”Mutation!”

”Wang Yanmei mutated?!”

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he immediately formed a hypothesis.

”Liu Erlong isn’t lacking in food. That mother and daughter were his playthings, his tools for venting. He would’ve made sure they had enough to eat.”

”But Liu Erlong probably wouldn’t have given them good food. Most likely, he only let them eat mutant fish.”

Liang Yuan took a deep breath. According to this theory, wouldn’t the degree of mutation of that mother and daughter surpass even Liu Erlong’s?

”But why did that person just now say Wang Yanmei turned into a vengeful spirit and her daughter died?”

He was curious about what exactly had happened in Wang Yanmei’s apartment on the 14th floor.

That was Liu Erlong’s room, and both women were Liu Erlong’s women.

Logically, before Liu Erlong’s death, no one would dare to go into that room to stir up trouble and commit murder.

Liang Yuan thought quickly as he hurried downstairs.

As soon as he reached the next floor, he saw several people climbing up the stairs, crying out for their lives.

They climbed while shouting in terror.

”There’s a ghost, a ghost!”

”There’s a ghost on the 14th floor!”

”Help!”

Liang Yuan didn’t stop them and continued to hurry downstairs past them.

As he encountered more and more people along the way, he soon reached the 15th floor.

There, he saw several bodies on the ground.

His steps paused slightly as he lowered his head to examine the corpses.

All the fatal wounds on these bodies were on their necks, with jugular arteries severed.

Before their deaths, these people seemed to have witnessed something terrifying, their eyes wide open and bulging.

Liang Yuan squinted at the fine wounds.

It was evident that the cuts were made by an extremely sharp object.

”Did Wang Yanmei mutate into a weapon?”

He was astonished and looked down at the 14th floor.

Below was already quiet, with no sounds of fighting or screams.

Liang Yuan gathered his courage, lightened his steps, and slowly walked down the stairs.

At the entrance to the 14th floor, six or seven people lay scattered, all lifeless.

Liang Yuan stepped over the bodies and walked to the door of room 1401.

The door was ajar and unlocked.

Inside, it was pitch black, like the mouth of a monster ready to devour.

He hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed the door open with a crowbar.

Dim light filtered in, revealing sticky blood on the floor of the living room.

Not far away, near a table, were two bodies.

And in a chair by the table, a figure seemed to be sitting.

Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. The figure, with disheveled hair and a bowed head, was clearly a woman.

”Wang Yanmei?”

Liang Yuan guessed silently. He thought for a moment and decided not to go in.

He wasn’t sure what kind of strange abilities the woman had mutated into and did not want a confrontation.

He turned to descend the stairs, looking for Ding Yan, Old Ma, and the others.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a white figure standing behind him, staring at him.

In that instant, Liang Yuan’s scalp tingled, and he almost cried out.

Instinctively, he raised the crowbar in front of him and stared hard at the woman in white.

The woman wore a white nightgown, stained with copious amounts of blood.

Her hair was disheveled, covering most of her face, but her eyes, filled with malice, locked onto Liang Yuan.

He noticed that her arms hung at her sides, her hands covered with silver scales.

Her nails were about eight centimeters long, stained with blood.

She really did look like a ghost straight out of a horror movie.

Seeing that she wasn’t moving, Liang Yuan steadied his nerves and asked, ”Wang Yanmei?”

Staring at him, Wang Yanmei suddenly spoke, ”They say you killed Liu Erlong?”

Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded, ”Yes, I killed him.”

”Hehe, hahaha, hahaha, well done, well done, sob...”

She abruptly laughed loudly, almost maniacally, and then suddenly started to cry.

She seemed completely unhinged, like a lunatic.

Cautiously, Liang Yuan asked, ”Wang Yanmei, how did you end up like this?”

She just sobbed quietly, ignoring him.

He tried to take a step closer.

Wang Yanmei suddenly raised her head, glaring at him.

Liang Yuan’s hair stood on end, and he quickly stepped back, saying, ”I mean no harm. I just want to know what happened to you. Don’t worry, Liu Erlong is dead, and I guarantee no one in this building can hurt you again.”

Wang Yanmei’s expression turned ferocious: ”Guarantee? What guarantee? Can you bring Xiaochang back to life? Can you?”

Suddenly frantic, she screamed and leapt towards Liang Yuan.

Her speed was astonishing.

Liang Yuan hastily thrust the crowbar at her.

Wang Yanmei jumped back, dodging the attack.

Then she pounced again from the side, her right hand slashing down with her knife-like nails.

Liang Yuan quickly blocked with the crowbar.

But she was too fast!

The crowbar hadn’t even swung fully when her nails were already right in front of him.

In the critical moment, Liang Yuan ducked his head, using the helmet to deliver a headbutt.

There was a grating sound as the helmet was slashed.

Liang Yuan swung the crowbar again, hitting something with a thud.

He saw Wang Yanmei cry out in pain.

Seizing the chance, Liang Yuan quickly backed into room 1401, slamming the door shut.

Bang!

As the door closed, a piercing scream came from outside.

Then, furious banging on the door.

”Get out, get out, don’t come into my house, get out!”

Wang Yanmei screamed, clawing at the door.

The screeching of nails scratching the door filled the air.

Deep marks appeared on the door, her sharp nails piercing through it!

Liang Yuan watched in horror, knowing that the door typically had a steel core.

He quickly touched his helmet.

Five cracks had formed on it!

Just a little more, and her nails would’ve pierced the helmet.

It wasn’t that the helmet was stronger than the door but that her attack was aimed at his neck and wasn’t as forceful.

Liang Yuan shuddered. ”Wang Yanmei has mutated into sharp claws and her speed is so fast!”

He didn’t worry anymore and quickly scanned the entrance area.

His eyes lit up as he spotted a new pink electric bike helmet on the entrance shelf.

Without hesitation, he replaced his own helmet with the pink one.

The helmet was a bit small and fit snugly on his head.

Liang Yuan quickly looked around the room, noticing that the woman sitting by the table hadn’t moved.

”Hey?” he called out, but there was no response.

He tried moving closer.

Still no response.

As he got even closer, he saw that the woman’s neck had a bleeding wound, her collar soaked in blood. She had long been dead.

He breathed a sigh of relief and realized why she was motionless.

”Wang Yanmei’s daughter, Liu Chang?”

”No wonder she mentioned not being able to save her daughter. Liu Chang is dead.”

Liang Yuan looked at the other bodies.

Near Liu Chang was a male corpse, his face unrecognizable from all the scratches.

Liang Yuan immediately recognized him.

”Wu Hua?”

The former private enterprise owner from the owner’s group, the running group leader.

Now his corpse was cold, never to run again.

He then glanced at the other corpse, which was Zhang Li’s.

Zhang Li’s injury was simple, a cut wound on the neck.

Based on the room’s state, Liang Yuan formed a theory.

”Looks like Wu Hua and Zhang Li took advantage of Liu Erlong’s death to come here for supplies.”

He could imagine the desperation of the mother and daughter.

They must have faced more abuse and threats from Wu Hua.

Probably at that moment, Wang Yanmei’s mutation and awakening happened.

Thinking about it, Liang Yuan frowned suddenly.

”Liu Erlong also mutated suddenly in a life-or-death situation.”

”The mother and daughter ate a lot of mutant fish, but they were still normal when I observed them with the drone this morning.”

”So Wang Yanmei mutated during a life-and-death crisis?”

”Could mutation require surviving mortal peril?”
