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

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 The Cats Have Mutated Too (Fourth Update)

”There were no special characteristics found on her body after the mutation.”

”Wait, could it be related to me forcibly interrupting her mutation process?”

Liang Yuan suddenly realized this, it was probably indeed related to that.

In other words, the mutation process is very easily influenced by external factors.

”What are you thinking about?”

Liang Yuan immediately shared his guess with Ding Yan.

After listening, Ding Yan thought for a moment, ”I think your analysis makes a lot of sense.”

”The mutation process should be susceptible to external interference.”

”If you hadn’t interfered, I might have ended up like Wang Yanmei, turning into a lunatic who only knows to attack others.”

”I might even live forever in anger, controlled by that emotion.”

Liang Yuan said solemnly, ”In this world now, there are probably many people who have eaten mutant fish, and there must be quite a few with extreme emotions.”

”I’m afraid it won’t be long before many people awaken all sorts of strange mutant abilities.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan’s face changed slightly, ”If that’s the case, didn’t we barely kill one Liu Erlong? Wouldn’t there be a second, third Liu Erlong appearing?”

Liang Yuan said solemnly, ”In this kind of environment, human morals will hit rock bottom. There will definitely not be a shortage of people like Liu Erlong.”

”We must find a way to let Old Ma and the others awaken their mutant abilities as soon as possible.”

”As long as they are careful not to be controlled by their emotions, they should be able to stably gain the mutant abilities without becoming lunatics who only know to destroy and kill.”

Ding Yan nodded, ”Okay, once we find Brother Cai and Xiaozhao, let’s discuss this with them.”

”Let’s go, let’s find them first. Brother Cai and Xiaozhao ran to the building next door. They should have returned long ago, something might have happened to them.”

Liang Yuan stood up, his expression heavy.

Ding Yan’s expression also changed slightly, ”I hope they’re still alive.”

On the way, Ding Yan gave her ability a name, called [Empowerment].

Empowerment, as the name suggests, can grant superpowers to any part of her body.

Whether it’s her palm or her head, the power can rapidly enhance her body’s defense and attack power wherever it goes.

This is empowerment.

Liang Yuan was also thinking, his mutation progress was at 3%, how much does it need to reach before he can awaken mutant superpowers?

And does increasing mutation progress through the system’s attribute points work faster than eating mutant fish?

Another point, since he hasn’t eaten mutant fish, is there a risk of being controlled by emotions if he awakens his mutant ability?

After thinking it over, he made a decision.

If he can avoid eating mutant fish, he won’t eat it.

Because the mutated strawberry that appeared in the system lottery disc reminded him.

Mutated strawberries have quality and purity attributes.

Could these two be the main factors affecting the emotional danger during mutation?

If the quality and purity are higher, will the influence be smaller?

”No rush, anyway, the system’s attribute points can grow all my attributes equally. I’ll slowly accumulate points, if I can’t get attribute points with 100 points, then I’ll try with 500 points, 1,000 points!”

”I refuse to believe I won’t get attribute points.”

Liang Yuan swore silently in his heart. Before they realized it, the two had returned to the fourteenth floor.

Outside Wang Yanmei’s house, the door was open, and there were noises coming from inside.

Liang Yuan and Ding Yan exchanged a glance, and finally, Liang Yuan said, ”For now, let’s not provoke that lunatic. We’ll take a detour through the corridor to the second unit.”

Ding Yan also nodded, ”Alright.”

She certainly didn’t want to take unnecessary risks, the priority was to find people.

The two quickly crossed the corridor and reached the second unit.

This was Liang Yuan’s second time entering the second unit.

The previous time was when he was chasing down Wang Meng.

Ever since the great flood, Liang Yuan had rarely stepped outside, let alone come to the second unit.

The layout of the second unit was identical to that of the first unit, one stairway for two homes.

The hallway was covered in mold, and there was garbage strewn all over the floor, with signs of smoke and fire everywhere.

Someone must have been cooking in the hallway.

Occasionally, foam boards and bed frames could be seen scattered in the corridor.

Liang Yuan and Ding Yan walked side by side in the hallway, which was unusually quiet, with only the sound of heavy rain and thunder from outside.

”Where did the people of the second unit go? Were they scared away too?” Ding Yan asked in confusion.

Liang Yuan said, ”It’s possible. Let’s start searching from the eleventh floor, and see if the eleventh floor of the second unit is also occupied by Liu Erlong’s people.”

The two went down the stairs, and upon reaching the eleventh floor, they heard strange creaking sounds.

They immediately stopped in their tracks and exchanged a look.

Liang Yuan made a shushing gesture and then peeked through the railing.

Upon seeing, his pupils shrank.

On the eleventh-floor landing, a large black-and-white cat was hunched over a corpse, feasting.

It emitted low whimpering sounds from time to time.

Liang Yuan saw that this black-and-white cat was significantly larger than a normal cat, almost the size of an adult golden retriever.

”Mutated?”

Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat as he immediately thought about it.

Yes, fish can mutate, humans can mutate, then why not animals?

So far, he had only encountered mutant fish and humans and had neglected the fact about other animals and plants!

This cat was so huge, it was undoubtedly mutated.

At this moment, Ding Yan also saw the scene in the hallway, and her face changed as she almost cried out.

Liang Yuan quickly covered her mouth and whispered, ”Let’s back off.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the cat suddenly turned its head.

Its vertical pupils seemed to glow with a green light.

”Not good!”

Liang Yuan’s expression changed instantly. He didn’t expect the cat’s hearing to be so sharp. He quickly picked up the crowbar and shouted, ”Be careful.”

Ding Yan immediately raised her crossbow arrow and aimed at the mutant cat.

”Whoosh——”

The arrow flew through the air, but the next moment, Ding Yan lost sight of the mutant cat.

Too fast, it was too fast!

She didn’t even see how the cat disappeared!

Just as she was in a state of uncertainty, Liang Yuan suddenly grabbed her collar and pulled her back, shouting, ”Watch out!”

She heard a creepy meow right above her head.

Followed by a ripping sound, her T-shirt was instantly torn apart!

Ding Yan’s hands and feet turned cold at once, and instinctively threw a punch.

A faint light flickered on her fist.

Empowerment activate!

The punch tore through the air, but the mutant cat was long gone.

Liang Yuan pulled her against the wall and said, ”Let’s go, this mutant cat’s mutation level is very high.”

Because his spirit attribute reached 1.7, his senses were extremely sharp, allowing him to vaguely see the cat’s afterimage.

Ding Yan looked down at her torn T-shirt. If it had been a little closer, the cat would have torn her flesh!

Her heart pounded fiercely, and sweat beaded on her forehead, ”Even animals have mutated, we...”

Before she could finish, a strong gust of wind blew from below. Liang Yuan was already swinging the crowbar.

Boom!

The crowbar struck the steps, the tremendous force chipping the concrete.

Sparks flew, and the black-and-white figure flashed, merging into the darkness.

Only a pair of eerie green eyes shimmered in the night.

Without hesitation, Liang Yuan pulled Ding Yan against the wall and moved forward.

”Meow!”

”Meow~”

”Whimper~”

From the darkness, several more cat cries echoed!

Liang Yuan’s hair stood on end, ”There’s more?”

On the eleventh floor, three more mutant cats appeared!

Ding Yan was also shocked, ”So many mutant cats, how did the people in the second unit survive?”

Liang Yuan quickly pulled her upstairs. Those mutant cats only watched them and didn’t follow.

At the twelfth floor, the door of 1203 suddenly opened.

”Liang Yuan, Ding Yan, hurry inside!”
