35: Chapter 35 Helicopters
At that moment, a surprised and joyful voice came from Lu Huan: "It's open!"
Seeing this, Huo Sixian didn't delay and pulled Ye Qingqing's hand, heading straight for the rooftop.
Lu Huan was the last one, responsible for locking the door to the Emergency Exit.
At the very last second as Lu Huan was locking it, 'Li Wenzhuo' arrived.
The Emergency Exit door was an iron-barred gate; at this moment, everyone could see clearly that 'Li Wenzhuo' was behind the iron bars, reaching out his hands toward them, his black claws brandishing as he tried to swipe at them, and even from 'Li Wenzhuo's' mouth,
a few drops of saliva dripped down. If Ye Qingqing guessed correctly, 'Li Wenzhuo' wanted to eat them.
It was a mess, everything was a mess; Ye Qingqing's mind felt like a muddled heap of paste.
Ye Qingqing even began to doubt if she had truly been reborn, or if everything from her previous life was just a very realistic dream.
Because in her previous life, Ye Qingqing only remembered natural disasters; she had no memory of these Things with gray skin and black nails.
Panic welled up in Ye Qingqing's heart. When she was first reborn, she was quite confident about this life, believing that with her Space, she could live well.
But she hadn't expected so many unexpected turns in this life.
First it was the flood, and now these strange things. For a moment, Ye Qingqing's heart pounded violently, and a chill spread from behind her ears, sweeping through her entire body from head to toe.
Ye Qingqing's body was tense with cold, and she was trembling. More than anything, she felt a sense of lingering fear. Suddenly, she really missed Ah Huang and wanted to go home immediately to give him a hug.
So Ye Qingqing immediately thought of taking out Climbing Ropes from her Space. There was an Outdoor Supplies Store downstairs, so taking out the rope now wouldn't arouse suspicion.
The wind on the rooftop was very strong, even more intense than it felt on the water's surface below. There was even rain, which stung Ye Qingqing's face.
Just as Ye Qingqing was about to take out the rope, she turned around and suddenly discovered a helicopter.
"A helicopter..." Ye Qingqing looked at the helicopter before her with some surprise. Its appearance was like a pillow arriving just as one was getting sleepy.
"I'll go check if there's enough fuel in the tank."
When Meng Hangfei said this, his tone was tinged with sadness.
Ye Qingqing knew Huo Sixian and the others weren't feeling great, but she couldn't offer them any comfort right now.
In the Post-Apocalyptic World, everything is cruel. Ye Qingqing had long grown accustomed to life, death, and illness in her previous life. She even felt that humans were tiny existences in the Post-Apocalyptic World.
Overused Earth resources had led to severe environmental damage. In fact, the Earth had long ago warned humanity: global warming, rising temperatures, rising sea levels...
But humans acted as if they didn't realize it, continuing to exploit natural resources on a massive scale. Sakura Country had even discharged nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean.
So when the flood arrived, the first to be destroyed was Sakura Country.
When Ye Qingqing boarded the helicopter, the cabin was filled with silence.
Having lost a friend they had once fought alongside, Huo Sixian and the others were not feeling well.
The Typhoon weather was fierce; the helicopter swayed significantly as it flew through the air.
Meng Hangfei, who was piloting the helicopter, was very cautious, focusing intently on the conditions ahead. Ye Qingqing also felt anxious, staring blankly out the window.
In just a few dozen days, Ye Qingqing no longer recognized this city. Places not submerged by the flood were covered in devastation; due to the Typhoon, many high-rise buildings had been damaged by things swept up by the wind.
The water level was getting higher and higher. No one mentioned the Kayak and inflatable boat still parked on the 7th floor of the Department Store.
The sky remained gloomy. In the entire sky, aside from their helicopter, nothing else could be seen.
Once upon a time, Ye Qingqing actually began to miss the sounds of insects and birds.
Since they all lived on the 32nd floor, it was quite convenient for the helicopter to stop here. Going down from the rooftop Emergency Exit led right to the 32nd-floor Fire Escape.
At this moment, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but feel lucky that she had chosen such a good house.
The stairs from the 32nd floor to the rooftop were not the same as the Fire Escape stairs inside the building.
So now, the 32nd-floor Fire Escape stairs could be locked directly, and everyone could go home.
As Ye Qingqing passed the 32nd-floor Fire Escape, she heard a loud 'thud'!
Looking closely, she actually discovered several monsters with gray skin seeped with black veins...
How could this be? Everything was fine when they left, and the residents in the building were even waiting for rescue from The Authorities.
Why had this building also been overrun by these things...
Ye Qingqing was so startled by the sound that she stumbled toward the wall. Just as she was about to hit it, a strong hand caught her.
Ye Qingqing looked at Huo Sixian and said thank you, "Thank you... for saving me so many times today..."
"It's nothing..." Huo Sixian's voice was a bit raspy.
In Room 323, Ah Huang heard Ye Qingqing's voice and let out an excited bark.
But this sound attracted more and more Things to gather.
Ye Qingqing quickly opened the door and pinched Ah Huang's muzzle with one hand.
Ah Huang was very happy to see Ye Qingqing, but he didn't understand why she hadn't immediately rushed to hug him today, but instead pinched his puppy muzzle.
Apology flashed in Ye Qingqing's eyes as she apologized to Huo Sixian and the others, "Sorry, Ah Huang got a bit excited hearing my voice. I promise this won't happen again."
After saying this, Ye Qingqing gave Ah Huang a threatening look.
Although Ah Huang didn't understand what Ye Qingqing was saying, he could tell from her emotions that he couldn't bark anymore.
If he kept barking, Ye Qingqing would be unhappy.
Seeing those Things, Kong Ziyi's anger flared up. It was because of these Things that they had lost a brother.
Thus, Kong Ziyi's reason was currently overcome by grief and indignation, leaving only anger and resentment.
"Why!"
"Why!"
Kong Ziyi roared, his expression suddenly turning fierce. Although he didn't know what these Things in front of him were, they were clearly no longer human.
However, Kong Ziyi and the others weren't ordinary retired Soldiers. That day, Huo Sixian hadn't finished what he was saying to Ye Qingqing, fearing he would scare her.
Huo Sixian and the others were originally Special Forces, but later, due to a mission, they went abroad to work as Mercenaries. They had only just returned to the country when they encountered this situation.
