The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

The export market collapsed?

Old Ghost and White Fox watched as a group of adventurers below encountered the group of plant-like people; the battle had descended into chaos.

At this moment, they stood at the entrance of the escalator on the second floor. Those people in a vegetative state did not possess any intelligence; they simply instinctively lunged upwards following the sound.

The chaotic noise below drew away most of the attention, leaving only a few vegetative patients on the escalator still rushing upwards regardless of the situation.

Han Yu and Zhou Hu easily chopped and kicked him off the escalator.

The falling figures crashed to the ground with a violent thud. After twisting and turning, they rose again and joined the group of vegetative people chasing the Red Shark and the thugs.

The vegetative state patient below did not continue the pursuit, giving Ye Xiao and his group a rare chance to catch their breath.

All these changes did not seem to evoke much emotion in Ye Xiao, as if everything was already within his expectations.

Old Ghost was panting heavily, his gaze lingering on Ye Xiao for a long while.

He couldn't help but think to himself that he had indeed underestimated Ye Xiao.

Having spent a month in the apocalypse and accomplished a lot, judging people solely by their appearance would likely lead to the same fate as those other individuals, resulting in significant losses.

The white fox was also filled with many thoughts at this moment.

The encounter between Red Shark and the thugs below seemed to be within Ye Xiao's expectations. He recalled that Ye Xiao had asked Ye Xing to scout ahead, and after seeing Ye Xing's gesture, he immediately decided to head upwards.

It seems that Ye Xiao had anticipated the possibility that the exit might be blocked.

Firearms seemed to have little effect on those in a vegetative state; they appeared to be completely devoid of consciousness, relying solely on instinct to relentlessly attack Red Shark and the thugs.

Meanwhile, some people, in the chase, also ran up the escalator towards the second floor.

"What do we do now? Run, or fight?"

Wang Yao's voice pulled everyone back to reality. Ye Xiao frowned, and Zhou Hu gripped the seed-carrying machete tightly, saying:

"Those things have very high defense, so weapons aren't very effective, but they're definitely afraid of fire!"

Chen Ge chimed in, "Yes, the main problem is that we don't know where the exit is, nor do we know the situation outside. It's not necessarily safe outside either."

"Use the flamethrower!"

The white fox standing nearby immediately chimed in, "A flamethrower is also a weapon!"

[SilverMoon315: This place needs a flamethrower]

[Three Foxes: Wow, this is playing with fire!]

[Liangliang is me: My mom taught me from a young age that playing with fire would make me wet the bed.]

……

Ye Xiao glanced at the white fox with a helpless expression. "How am I supposed to explain this to those guys?"

White Fox was taken aback. Indeed, the flamethrower was quite large, and Red Shark and those thugs would definitely be suspicious.

Ye Xiao immediately glanced around, then turned to Chen Ge and called out:

"Did it become popular?"

Chen Ge has a smoking addiction and always carries a metal lighter with him.

Chen Ge nodded immediately, "I brought it!"

Without saying a word, Ye Xiao immediately pulled out a grenade from his waist, pulled the pin, and threw it into the crowd of vegetative patients below.

With a loud bang, a bright orange-white light flashed, and the two vegetative patients at the center of the explosion were blown into scattered fragments.

The surrounding vegetative state patients were all blown to the ground, but although they were scattered with many strange fragments, it still did not stop them from getting up again.

"Wang Yao, Han Yu, you throw the grenades first to cover Tyrannosaurus and the others. Old Ghost, White Fox, Chen Ge, come with me!"

Ye Xiao shouted and turned around to rush towards the shops on the side.

The group didn't understand what Ye Xiao was going to do. As soon as they followed, they saw Ye Xiao rush into an abandoned clothing store and tear all the remaining fabric items together from the mess.

The three immediately understood Ye Xiao's plan. White Fox slapped his forehead.

"I must have been stupid! You don't necessarily need a flamethrower to use fire!"

"arctic fox!"

Ye Xiao suddenly shouted and took out four or five bottles of liquor from the warehouse, piling them on the ground.

Without Ye Xiao saying anything more, White Fox immediately went to the pile of liquor, drew a dagger, slashed open the curtain that Ye Xiao had thrown over, and began making incendiary bombs.

Old Ghost used to be a mercenary, so naturally he would help White Fox make incendiary bombs.

Ye Xiao and Chen Ge, meanwhile, were pulling at the other pieces of cloth, preparing to use them to add fuel to the fire later.

The noise grew louder and louder, and it was clear that the vegetative state patients were surging upwards.

Outside, all they could hear were shouts and sounds of fighting from Red Shark and his gang of thugs, but they had clearly discovered that the nuclear guns and firearms attacks were having no effect on these vegetative patients.

Han Yu and his group, who were originally blocking the stairwell, were replaced by the thugs. Fortunately, those vegetative people were like weeds; they couldn't think or look for other paths and would only instinctively climb and chase the nearest enemy.

Just then, Ye Xiao, along with White Fox, Old Ghost, and Chen Ge, ran out from a shop on the side.

The four of them immediately ran to the vicinity of the fence, but they did not dare to get too close.

I don't know if this railing is stable. Some parts are already broken, and it could fall down if you're not careful.

Chen Ge took out a lighter and lit the exposed strips of cloth on the Molotov cocktails in the men's hands. Immediately afterwards, the three of them rushed to the vicinity of the fence with the flaming bottles in hand.

He aimed at the swarming vegetative patients below and the dense figures climbing the escalator, and threw the Molotov cocktail in his hand.

With a snap!

The Molotov cocktail was thrown down and instantly exploded among the monsters. The splashed liquid was ignited by the flames, and the orange-red fire spread rapidly to the surrounding vegetative people.

The burning vegetative patient is like adding dry firewood to an already weak fire, instantly making the fire burn even more fiercely.

The vegetative beings emitted strange screams, wildly thrashing their bodies and arms as they crashed into the crowded mass of monsters, passing the flames on to the other vegetative beings.

Several Molotov cocktails were thrown down, and large flames rose up below.

Chen Ge wasn't idle either. He swung the rolled-up piece of cloth and threw it into the burning fire below, trying to make the fire burn even brighter.

As the fire spread rapidly, the crazed, vegetative patients finally stopped moving and quickly turned into a pile of dry firewood, crackling and burning in the flames.

The vegetative patients clinging to the narrow escalator were also kicked into the fire.

After a struggle, the mall finally quieted down.

Red Shark and the thugs, panting heavily, collapsed onto the spot.

The flames below illuminated the entire mall. Tyrannosaurus turned to look at Ye Xiao and his group, raised his arm, and said to them:

"Thanks brother!"

Ye Xiao waved his hand, and Sun Hongxing glanced around. Seeing that no one was missing from the team, he told everyone to check themselves.

The situation was too chaotic. Although they were not seriously injured, several of them had minor cuts and bruises.

However, Sun Hongxing and Baolong seemed to have been prepared, giving their personnel an inhibitor and moving them to the back of the team.

Seeing the two seemingly trying to separate the others, Ye Xiao had a slight guess in his mind.

Then, he addressed Zhou Hu and the others behind him:

"In a little while, you need to be careful of those injured guys. Also, you must be careful not to get hurt by these strange vegetative people."

"These mutated vegetative patients are clearly different from the previous ones. The mutation inhibitor might not be effective at all!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the group, who had not been afraid before, suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts.
