Chapter 119 9nd Floor
The next day, everyone was awakened by an explosion.
When Miao Yin opened the door, she saw Ji Yuanzhou standing next to the socket with a bewildered look on his face, and a broken kettle lying next to him.
"Didn't you control your strength well?" she said.
Ji Yuanzhou pushed up his glasses somewhat awkwardly: "I absorbed a crystal core yesterday, and my superpowers have become much stronger. I'm a little unfamiliar with them now."
"Practice more," Miao Yin said, waving her hand.
Seeing that everyone else had come out, Miao Yin took out some food and placed it on the table: "Get ready, we're leaving today."
“Okay,” Ling replied.
After a night's rest, she and You Wenwen looked better and more energetic.
They changed their clothes into bathrobes from the hotel closet.
Miao Yin then remembered that they had no clothes to wear, so she took two sets out from the Eighty-Eight Temples and gave them to them.
It's almost August now, and the weather is getting warmer, so everyone can finally wear some light and easy-to-move clothes.
After they finished washing up and eating their fill, Miao Yin equipped them with some weapons.
Although having superpowers is enough, in the apocalypse, it's always safer to carry some self-defense items, since no one can predict what might happen.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Miao Yin said, "Let's go to the ninth floor first."
She still remembered what Yan Shuzhou had told her yesterday: the sound of voices on the ninth floor.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any other living people here besides them.
Anyway, it won't make a difference if we go up and see what's going on.
Nine-Tasseled Rabbit perched on Yan Shuzhou's shoulder once more, listening to the surroundings for everyone as they walked up the stairs to the ninth floor.
From the moment the Nine-Tails Rabbit appeared, You Wenwen's eyes were glued to it, and he kept secretly watching it, hesitating to speak several times.
It wasn't until Yan Shuzhou glanced at her casually that he noticed she was looking at his summoned creature with longing eyes.
"You..." Yan Shuzhou didn't know how to communicate with her, and he got stuck after saying just one word.
Yu Wenwen knew that her little secret had been discovered, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, brother, I just really like this little rabbit, I didn't mean to bother you."
Teenage girls have absolutely no resistance to these cute little rabbits that can make soft whimpering noises. Even if they know it's someone else's superpower, it's hard for them to look away.
Yan Shuzhou noticed her fondness for the Nine-Tails Rabbit, pursed his lips, and tried to communicate with her.
"Then...would you like to hug it?"
"Is that alright?" You Wenwen was overjoyed, but then suddenly remembered that the Nine-Tails Rabbit was working, so she immediately whispered, "No need, I won't bother you."
"It's fine."
Yan Shuzhou reached out and conjured up another nine-tasseled rabbit: "You can hold it."
"Wow!" Yu Wenwen exclaimed softly, immediately taking the little rabbit and holding it in her palm.
The nine-tasseled rabbit's white ears twitched, and it tilted its head to rub against her palm: "Eek."
Yu Wenwen was completely charmed by its cuteness, and carefully hugged it close to her, her face showing two shallow dimples.
The youngest members of the two teams formed a friendship without even realizing it.
"We've arrived," Ji Yuanzhou reminded them.
The entrance to the ninth floor is just ahead.
“Sister, the sound we heard last time was from the very back,” Yan Shuzhou said to Miao Yin.
"understood."
They entered the ninth floor, which, unlike the relatively harmonious fifth floor, looked as if it had been swept away by a raging storm; not a single room was in good condition.
The camel-colored carpet in the corridor was completely soaked in blood, which had congealed into a black color. The decorations were broken all over the floor, and there were scratches all over the walls.
All the room doors were broken, bed sheet fragments were flying outside, and several floor tiles were cracked.
This place doesn't look like a place where anyone is alive.
Miao Yin approached a wall, her fingertip touching a black mark. She gently wiped it, and black fragments fell off. She smelled a faint burnt smell that lingered on it.
"A fire-type ability user."
She picked up a fragment of a lamp from the ground and examined its clean cut, which looked like a wind or water-based blade.
"Another person with superpowers."
It looks like it's going to be a fierce battle.
Tu Hao stood at the back of the line, looked around, and said, "There are no corpses."
There were none, neither from mutants nor humans.
“Look inside,” Miao Yin said.
They walked toward the last room at the end of the corridor.
The room was in a similar mess; even from a distance, you could see broken cups scattered all over the floor and wooden planks smashed by something.
The Nine-Tasseled Rabbit suddenly stood up.
“Sister,” Yan Shuzhou said, “there’s a mutant inside, one.”
Ling silently stood beside Miao Yin, and Tu Hao also stopped in his tracks. The ominous sign of the Crying Wolf made a slight noise.
"Ji Yuanzhou," Miao Yin called out, "Come here and practice your special ability."
Ji Yuanzhou took a deep breath: "Okay."
The blue crystal core contained abundant power, which directly elevated his superpower to a new level. Now, he wanted to see exactly how much he had evolved.
Ji Yuanzhou entered the room first, followed by Ling, while Miao Yin strolled over slowly and leaned against the relatively intact door.
The room was in a mess, with almost nothing intact, and scratches left by the mutants were everywhere.
Electricity crackled from Ji Yuanzhou's hands as he remained vigilant about his surroundings.
But after looking around, he couldn't find any sign of the mutants.
The wind was whistling through the window. Ji Yuanzhou kicked aside the chair blocking his way and walked into the bedroom.
The entire bedroom window was shattered, and a rope was hanging from the lower frame.
This is……
When Ji Yuanzhou got closer, he saw that the rope was actually made by rolling up several bed sheets and tying them together. One end was attached to the foot of the bed, and the other end hung outside the hotel.
He looked down and saw that the rope was very long, with dozens of knots, hanging from the ninth floor all the way down to the second floor. It was clear that the person who tied it must have gone through many rooms to make it.
There was still some blood on the rope.
So, have the people who were originally here successfully escaped?
"Snapped!"
A small pebble suddenly fell on Yan Shuzhou's shoulder, and he subconsciously looked up.
On the ceiling, a deformed human with unusually long limbs, resembling a praying mantis, was clinging to it, its head tilted 180 degrees towards him.
