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

This house is sandwiched between buildings and doesn't look very eye-catching.

The house is four stories high, with security bars on the outside and a heavy silver security door on the first floor.

The doors and windows inside were tightly closed, making it seem quite secure.

The three of them walked around and came to the back of the house.

There was also a security door at the back. As the three approached, a chuckle suddenly came from the window above.

There seemed to be a monster howling inside the house.

The surrounding buildings have gradually been shrouded in a golden veil, but soon this veil will completely disappear, leaving only darkness.

Ye Xiao didn't want to waste any more time.

He took the gun he had taken from the shorter man from his inventory and asked Afi:

"How do you use this thing?"

Afi stared blankly at the gun that had appeared out of nowhere in Ye Xiao's hand, clearly shocked by his move.

"This is a gun modified by homeless people."

She pointed to the left side of the gun. On the left side of the gun body, near the loading port, there was a cylindrical metal can with a small piece of glass protruding from the middle. There was some red liquid left at the bottom of the container.

"We put a seed kernel inside to serve as an energy source."

Then he pointed to the metal box above the gun, "This is where you put the ammunition."

ammunition?

Ye Xiao opened the box above the loading port on the gun and took a look. It was full of scrap metal or nails.

"Are these ammunition?"

Afi nodded. "Yes, using seed cores as an energy source, even these things can be fired with the power of a bullet, and the sound won't be loud."

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up; this was probably the key.

Ye Xiao took out the red seed core from the inventory. There was a circular notch at the front of the round jar on the left.

Afi pointed to the notch, "Just press one end of the seed into it."

Following Afi's instructions, Ye Xiao pressed one end of the seed core onto the notch, and a sharp spike instantly pierced out from the notch and into the seed core.

Immediately afterwards, the red liquid seeped into the jar, filling it up in no time.

With powerful weapons at his disposal, Ye Xiao felt more confident.

Just to be on the safe side, Ye Xiao spent another thousand points to exchange for a pistol in the store, and two hundred points to exchange for a magazine.

He loaded the pistol and handed it to Zhou Qirui.

When Zhou Qirui saw what Ye Xiao handed him, he immediately beamed with joy.

He quickly reached out and took it. Although the pistol was a bit old-fashioned, it was much better than a knife and was also a long-range weapon.

Having a gun in hand makes me feel much more at ease.

"Thank you, boss!"

Zhou Qirui grinned, revealing his teeth, and kept fiddling with the pistol in his hand.

Ye Xiao felt a chill run down his spine from his actions and quickly warned him:

"Stop playing around, be careful not to accidentally discharge the gas."

He came up behind Zhou Qirui, reached into his backpack, pulled out a small metal box, and handed it to Afei.

Afi opened the metal box, inside were several lock-picking tools.

In her words, after the cataclysm, lock picking is an essential skill for those wandering the world.

Afi skillfully inserted the lock-picking tool into the keyhole, fiddled with it for a few seconds, and the security door opened.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

Afi stood up, smiled shyly, and then handed the lock-picking tools back.

The single security door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading upwards.

Ye Xiao walked at the front, gun in hand, his eyes quickly scanning the open doorway to his right.

The first floor had glass counters and shelves, seemingly a small general store. Everything on them appeared to have been looted, and there was a lot of rotten food scattered on the floor.

A scream suddenly came from upstairs, and Ye Xiao quickly moved the gun towards the top of the stairs.

As he slowly stepped upwards, just after turning halfway around the corner, a long-decayed skeleton collapsed at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Immediately afterwards, with a hiss, a huge creature suddenly rushed out from the side, rolled directly to the bottom of the stairs, and crushed the skeleton to pieces.

The thing looked like a huge ball of flesh, with several claws that looked like human hands, several legs, and three heads, like a jumbled mess of building blocks.

The fleshy growths, fused together by the blood-red tumors, stretched out countless black tentacles like leeches, wriggling and waving in mid-air.

The sudden appearance of the monster not only startled Ye Xiao, but also frantically flooded the live stream with comments.

The enormous figure was over two meters wide, its twisted limbs crawling rapidly along the wall as it charged toward Ye Xiao below the stairs.

The moment Ye Xiao saw this thing, he instinctively raised the gun in his hand, released the safety, and pulled the trigger in front of the huge figure charging towards him.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Ye Xiao felt the gun in his hand suddenly vibrate, and a wave of heat shot out from the barrel.

Countless shards of iron and nails shot out from the muzzle, instantly exploding on the monster two meters away.

This shot blasted away large chunks of the monster's flesh, scattering fragments of blood and flesh everywhere.

However, the monster's attack did not diminish at all, and its huge body slammed towards Ye Xiao.

"I go!"

Ye Xiao hurriedly turned and jumped downstairs. Zhou Qirui, holding a pistol and shrinking his neck, frantically pulled the trigger at the monster, but only made a series of empty clicks.

Zhou Qirui shouted anxiously, "Why isn't it working?"

Seeing the monster charging down again, he hurriedly turned and ran away.

Ye Xiao rushed to the door, turned around abruptly, and raised the gun barrels with both hands.

Seeing that the monster was about to rush behind the door, Ye Xiao immediately pulled the trigger and fired several shots in quick succession.

The impact shards of metal, like countless bullets, blasted huge craters into the monster's body.

The continuous bombardment of shrapnel continued to widen the blasted hole, turning it into a bloody mess.

Minced meat and broken lumps of flesh were scattered everywhere, and black, foul blood flowed all over the ground.

The monster collapsed with a thud in front of the door, but strangely, its limbs seemed to retain some residual nerve function, twitching slightly.

The distorted face was still emitting strange wails.

The black, leech-like tentacles writhed with difficulty, and Ye Xiao dared not get too close.

Afi, on one side, gripped the spear in his hand and plunged it into the torn flesh, a bloody scream rang out.

Ye Xiao felt that the sound was not coming from the heads, but from the tentacles and flesh, which made his scalp tingle.

After Afi stabbed the monster several times with her spear, it stopped moving completely.

A huge, orange seed core was ejected from the mangled flesh and blood, sliding down the thick, black blood to Ye Xiao's feet.

"Hmm? Orange?"

Ye Xiao picked up the items, and Afi, who was standing to the side, asked:

"You people inside those high walls probably don't need this, right?"

Is it useless? Is there a difference between the orange and red seed kernels?

Ye Xiao didn't answer Afei, but instead put it directly into his inventory.

"It's getting dark, hurry up and get this thing out so we can go inside and spend the night!"

There was nothing to fear about a dead monster. The three of them grabbed the monster's arm, dragged it out, and threw it outside.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house.

Just as Ye Xiao stepped onto the stairs, a sound that shouldn't have been heard suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Hey kid, we meet again!"
