Chapter 38 Leaving the Courier Room
Peng Si almost laughed out of exasperation at the old lady's incredible thought process.
The ignorant old woman hadn't yet noticed the strangeness of the two young people.
What kind of person can cross a busy street unscathed?
They were already short of ammunition, and had lost a lot of it while rescuing people. Deng Zhize and he were also injured. If the two of them really started fighting, he didn't know if he would have the life to stop them!
Miao Yin casually stroked Yan Shuzhou's head, like an owner petting their cat that had been frightened by a stranger, watching the farce with nonchalance.
"What? Did I say something wrong, old woman? I won't stop them from going to their deaths, but they have to leave the bag behind!" With that, she called her son over to block the doorway, determined not to let them leave.
Just as Peng Si was about to draw his gun to restore order, Miao Yin suddenly spoke up: "Okay, you take it."
The girl's voice was clear and melodious, and her hibiscus-like face was full of smiles, which further highlighted the charm of a classical beauty.
Peng Si looked at her with some suspicion. Something was definitely amiss. Based on his judgment of Miao Yin, she could not possibly be a kind person.
The old woman was already quite pleased with herself: "That's more like it."
She walked up to him without warning, and when she saw Peng Si blocking her way, she impatiently pushed him aside.
Not only did she push him, but she didn't even touch the right spot and accidentally pushed on Peng Si's stomach wound, causing him to groan in pain.
"Captain, are you alright?" Deng Zhize and Qiu Jing both came over to check on his injuries.
Peng Si covered the bandaged area and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
At this moment, the old woman had already walked up to Miao Yin and reached out to pull Yan Shuzhou out.
But then a flash of cold light streaked past, and all light went out. A sharp, intense pain shot through her, and she collapsed to the ground, her hoarse voice screaming in agony.
Everyone: "!!!"
Miao Yin held the blood-stained butterfly knife in front of her, watching the blood droplets slide from the tip of the knife and drip to the ground, a mocking smile curving her lips.
“If the old woman is blind, then her eyes are naturally useless. So today I will be a kind person and cut them off for you.”
"Mom!!!" her son exclaimed, rushed over and knelt beside her. After discovering that his mother's eyes were completely blind, he angrily confronted Miao Yin.
"Enough, don't do it!" Peng Si said to the old woman's son, but his gun was instinctively pointed at Miao Yin.
But the angry man wouldn't listen to him at all, and sprang up from the ground to grab Miao Yin by the neck.
Peng Si and Qiu Jing quickly grabbed his waist to stop him, but the man was fat and strong. Since the distance between them was not far, it was easy for him to hit her. So, while the man was being held back, Miao Yin lightly swung her knife.
"Aaaaaah!!!" He screamed, clutching his bleeding eyes, and leaned half his body against Peng Si to avoid lying down. His whole body was trembling.
"When a mother and son are of one mind, their strength can break metal. Since you love your mother so much, then go with her. At least you can keep each other company on the narrow bridge."
The sharp butterfly knife danced nimbly between her fingers, and a chillingly joyful light shone in Miao Yin's dark pupils, completely severing the compassionate face of Guanyin, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present.
Peng Si gritted his back molars.
He was absolutely certain he wasn't mistaken; the butterfly knife had appeared out of thin air in her hand! She really was a superhuman!
Leng Miaoyin!
"Qiu Jing, put the gun down," Peng Si said.
"...Yes." Qiu Jing lowered her gun with a complicated expression.
Peng Si said, "Weren't you going out? Hurry up and leave."
Miao Yin raised a delicate eyebrow: "The captain isn't going to hold me accountable?"
“…They attacked you first, so I can take it as self-defense.” Peng Si glared at him, clearly unhappy with the statement, but had no choice but to do so to save the lives of several residents.
"Then thank you, Captain Peng. I knew our people's officers had sharp eyes and wouldn't slander any good person." Miao Yin smiled as she looked at the other person's gritting teeth, then opened the door behind her.
"Have a safe journey." Even so, Peng Si still wished her well, not wanting a life to be lost out there.
Miao Yin glanced at the blackened gauze on his stomach: "Thank you for your kind words. See you next time, Captain."
After saying that, she closed the door and left the courier room.
-
In the property lobby, several deformed humans, attracted by the sound, drooled and were eager to try.
They were all low-level, and it was obvious at a glance that they didn't have crystal cores. Miao Yin had no interest in fighting such guys.
The flames that shot into the air burned the mutated people to death in an instant. The upgraded supernatural power was much stronger, and its corrosive properties dissolved most of their corpses.
Miao Yin stepped over the puddles of dust on the ground, walked to the table where the property management office handled matters, and opened the cabinet underneath.
"Little Boat, give me a rabbit."
Yan Shuzhou immediately summoned a nine-tasseled rabbit and handed it to Miao Yin.
The poor rabbit opened its eyes and was already in the hands of the female demon. Its fur stood on end, making it look fluffy.
Miao Yin threw it inside, saying with a veiled warning, "You stay here and keep an eye on things. If you sense a lot of humans or mutants appearing, report it to us immediately, understand?"
The nine-tasseled rabbit lay down and nodded, behaving very obediently.
Miao Yin closed the cabinet door, and the two left the property lobby. Not long after they left, a corpse fell from upstairs, splattering a mixture of pink and white all over the ground.
Miao Yin went over curiously. The corpse was a man with a broken neck and a bluish-black patch on his neck. He had obviously been strangled to death and then thrown down to dispose of the body, rather than a deformed human.
The fire burned the man's clothes, revealing his chest, which had gone limp and was covered with large patches of bruises, indicating that his internal organs and ribs had all been shattered.
Such strength is not something an ordinary person can possess.
You have to be either a boxing champion or someone with superpowers.
She looked up and saw that the man had fallen from the fourth building, probably from the tenth or twelfth floor.
In this apocalyptic world, humans are more terrifying than monsters.
However, Miao Yin just loves to explore the unknown. After ten years in the apocalypse, she needed some hobbies to keep her motivated. She was happy to go after anything that reached out its claws to her.
"Looks like there are some experts up there. Let's go take a look."
One of the elevators in Building 4 was broken, but the other one looked fine. Miao Yin pressed the button for the tenth floor, and a little over a minute later, they were standing at the door of the tenth floor.
Another nine-tasseled rabbit perched on Yan Shuzhou's shoulder, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.
There were four households on each floor. Miao Yin glanced around and saw that the doors of three households were open. Even without going inside, she could see dried bloodstains and huge teeth marks on the doors, which were clearly the work of the mutants. There were also signs of invasion in front of the door of another household, but it seemed that they had managed to defend themselves.
“Sister, the rabbit said there’s no life left in here, but there are mutated people in the stairwell upstairs,” Yan Shuzhou said.
"Then let's go up."
Miao Yin drew her gleaming Tang sword.
Although she has supernatural abilities that protect her, making her immune to harm from low-level mutants, Miao Yin still enjoys the feeling of having a weapon in her hand and prefers to use physical techniques to keep her body in a better fighting condition.
Yan Shuzhou also took out his small knife and began to get nervous.
They turned and entered the stairwell. As soon as they looked up, they saw that the entire corridor was covered with dense white threads. Upon closer inspection, they could even see human skulls wrapped in the threads.
Miao Yin casually burned a piece of silk thread, and a pungent smell immediately hit her face.
“It’s spider silk, and it contains anesthetic toxins.” She waved her hand to dispel the smell.
The enhancements from her ghostly body gradually made her immune to poisons, so this small anesthetic effect was no match for her, but it wouldn't work on Yan Shuzhou.
Miao Yin handed him a gun and a gas mask: "Xiao Zhou is downstairs, I'll come pick you up later."
"Okay." Yan Shuzhou took the things, her clear eyes full of seriousness. "Sister, be careful, I'll wait for you."
