Chapter 91 How do you go to the toilet?
Zhou Yan didn't pilot the boat; the overcast weather was perfect for using his [Shadow] Superpower, so he slipped all the way back to Building 16 along the shadows.
The survivors who ran from Building 17 to Building 16 had climbed up from the other side, whereas when Zhou Yan and the others left, they had departed from the back of the building, so those people could only watch the back of Zhou Yan's boat as he left, sighing with regret.
These people had originally intended to keep fleeing toward Building 15, but on the way there, several of them were killed by merfolk, and the group lost their nerve.
They had no choice but to keep their heads down and run toward the higher floors.
As expected, they discovered Zhou Yan's home, but the door was far too advanced, and they simply couldn't pry it open. However, Zhang Yajing's door was pried open, and all the food left in the room became theirs, along with a generator Zhou Yan had left behind.
Before their celebration could even begin, Wang Youde, who had been ordered to take charge of Zhou Yan's property, stood at the doorway of Zhang Yajing's home, holding the assault rifle Zhou Yan had left for him, looking dejected.
"It hasn't even been half an hour! In the time it took for me to just go home… I got intercepted?"
...
The battle outside the window had reached a white-hot stage.
The entire 6th Floor of Building 17 had been almost completely leveled.
A mutated Ragdoll cat and a mutant of an unknown species were actually able to unleash such terrifying destructive power!
"This is bad…" Zhou Yan, lying on the rooftop of Building 16 to watch the battle, frowned.
If those two kept fighting, the Building 16 tower might very well collapse!
But Zhou Yan couldn't exactly run in between the human and the beast—those two monsters—and shout, "Stop fighting, you two!"
He could only stand on the rooftop of Building 16, observing the battle below...
Soon, Zhou Yan discovered something unusual about that… person.
Let's just call him a person for now...
The red flame aura all over his body had started to fade, flickering like a candle in the wind, and his stamina was clearly unable to keep up with Jimmy's rhythm anymore.
Soon, he was pinned under Jimmy's two massive front paws, being bitten frantically.
Thanks to his terrifying defensive power, even after Jimmy struggled for a long time, it only managed to strip off his clothes without even breaking the skin...
In the end...
The red aura on his body completely dissipated...
Jimmy's massive claws slashed directly through his chest!
"Good opportunity!"
Zhou Yan quickly shifted into his [Shadow] state and flew toward the man's corpse.
"Time to loot!"
"I'm just going to loot it once!"
"Good Jimmy! Be a good boy… let big brother touch it once… I'm just going to touch it, I won't do anything else…"
Finally, under Jimmy's confused gaze, a hand reached out from the shadow of the man's corpse...
After swiftly looting the man's chest, it quickly retracted back into the shadow...
Jimmy was startled and began frantically attacking the man and the patch of shadow beneath him, but other than tearing the man's corpse to shreds, it had no effect at all...
[legendary blind box + 1]
"Eh?!"
The words "legendary," glowing with a dazzling seven-colored light, highlighted its uniqueness...
"Shouldn't it be a super blind box? Could it be that this guy isn't actually human?"
Zhou Yan, while running away in the shadow world, looked at the system interface and fell into deep thought...
He, indeed, didn't look much like a human.
But how could such a "monster" have inexplicably been born in Building 17?
What exactly happened on the high floors of Building 17?

"I made a profit! I made a profit! Can't be greedy! Loot and run!"
But Zhou Yan, in the shadow world, saw Jimmy poke its massive head toward the water's edge and sniff gently.
Then it raised its furry head, facing Building 16, and began to...
Hiss...
Its way of expressing anger was still very much like a "kitty."
Even though it had mutated.
Seeing Jimmy looking eager to try something against Building 16, Zhou Yan felt a growing sense of unease.
Although he wouldn't call himself a good person, Wang Youde was, after all, one of his own.
He couldn't just watch Wang Youde die, could he?
Zhou Yan had no choice but to find a piece of wooden board on the water that looked buoyant enough, and revealed his figure.
"Jimmy!"
Jimmy's furry ears twitched, and it tilted its head. Its once sky-blue eyes had turned deep purple, and it curiously stared at Zhou Yan, who was waving at it from the water surface.
Subsequently, with a splash, it dove into the water...
It didn't resurface for a long time.
The water surface gradually calmed down; not even a single splash appeared...
Zhou Yan stared intently at the water surface, but since the water was already quite deep, he couldn't see the situation underwater at all!
"Did it leave?"
"Did it really leave, or is it lurking underwater waiting to ambush me?"
Zhou Yan was prepared to enter the shadow world at any moment. Logically speaking, the distance between Jimmy and him wasn't particularly far; if it had swum over, it should have reached his feet long ago...
Did Jimmy just… come home to visit?
And then left?
Just now, that man clearly knew Jimmy was hiding underwater. After he killed all the slow runners, he kept lying by the window staring at the water surface, clearly aware that Jimmy was hiding in the water...
But one was a mutated human, and the other was a mutated cat; how could they have developed some inexplicable connection?
Or could it be that after mutating, they were actually the same kind?
Zhou Yan stared at the water for a long time, but didn't wait for an ambush from Jimmy.
Instead, he heard gunfire coming from inside Building 16!
Looking up, he could only see "people" falling out of the window of Zhang Yajing's home on the 11th Floor of Building 16 like dumplings.
Judging by the situation, they jumped down voluntarily. After many of them jumped, some swam back toward Building 16, while others swam toward Building 17.
But most of the people chose to go to the nearby Building 20.
Zhou Yan stared at the crowd splashing on the water surface; surely the little kitty would make a move this time?
But to Zhou Yan's surprise, Jimmy still didn't appear, and even beneath Zhou Yan's feet, the shadows of merfolk began to appear!
"It seems it really left…"
"Could it be that because I once fed Jimmy cat canned food and cat treats, I established a deep friendship in advance?"
Zhou Yan pondered, then shook his head.
This group of people had clearly broken into Zhang Yajing's home. Driven by curiosity, Zhou Yan darted up to the 11th Floor along the shadows...
In Zhang Yajing's home...
Old Wang was very angry, especially angry.
Even though he was holding a gun and had it aimed at this group, some people still had designs on him.
They didn't just want the supplies left behind by Zhang Dongxue and the others in Zhang Yajing's home; they also wanted to snatch the gun from Old Wang's hand.
Old Wang had never killed anyone, but he couldn't let himself be killed by them, right?
He simply closed his eyes and opened fire directly!
The door was narrow, and the living room in the apartment was only so big; there was really nowhere to hide, so they had no choice but to jump into the water.
When Zhou Yan entered the room, Old Wang was aiming his gun and firing into the water...
When he turned around, he was so startled by Zhou Yan that he almost had an accidental discharge!
Old Wang looked at Zhou Yan, somewhat bewildered: "You didn't leave?"
Subtext: Are you still going to give me the supplies you left for me or not?
"I was worried about you, so I came back to check on you!"
Subtext: I came over to see who was shooting on my turf.
But Zhou Yan didn't expect that his single sentence would instantly increase his relationship rating with a middle-aged man by 10%.

Old Wang was very touched, and after being touched, he asked Zhou Yan if he could leave a bit more meat; this bunch of bastards were such animals, they were even eating raw meat!
It was frozen solid, and they were gnawing on it raw!
Zhou Yan left Old Wang a few more boxes of lamb.
Holding the five boxes of lamb, Old Wang walked toward the hallway, turning back to say: "After you left, two other people also hid in here. It's that professor. I saw you were quite interested in him, so I let him take shelter at my place…"
Zhou Yan was pleasantly surprised: "He's still alive?"
Was Professor Li Guoming actually that lucky?
He didn't die even after all that?
This was perfect; Zhou Yan needed to consult Professor Li Guoming about mutations and Superpowers, what a coincidence!
The two of them climbed up to Old Wang's home. Xiaorou was still in her mermaid form, but she had clearly gained everyone's "approval," or rather, "trust."
The iron chains were gone, and she was lying on the stairs looking down with worried eyes.
She had clearly heard the gunfire and was worried about her father.
"Mermaids really are great! They don't even need to wear clothes…"
Zhou Yan muttered.
Indeed, Xiaorou… wasn't wearing any clothes.
But there weren't any exposed areas; her body was covered in a thick layer of beautiful scales. Besides her graceful body curves, one couldn't see any place that shouldn't be seen…
Although it was a bit impolite,
Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, but then spoke up:
"Um… how do you… use the bathroom?"
