PDLP Chapter 76 Departure
Chapter 76 Departure
“I’m going to find a chance to expose these things,” Miao Yin suddenly said, her eyes lighting up.
Tu Hao imagined the scene, which must have been incredibly awkward: "You really know how to make things worse."
"Since I'm not going to live much longer anyway, can't I have some fun?"
"...Are you going to attack again?"
"Not necessarily, maybe it's a mutant human first?" Miao Yin looked at the ceiling, her eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.
"Tu Hao, tell me, what would happen if their relationship were to face life and death? Would they commit suicide together? Or would they each flee when disaster strikes?"
Tu Hao calmly said, "I don't understand feelings, and I'm not interested in them. But these kinds of impulsive relationships usually don't end well."
"Was your previous employer like this too?"
"There are indeed many people who have been turned against by the canaries, but they are from large and wealthy families and generally do not end up in a situation where their families are destroyed. These people cannot be compared to them."
During the conversation, Ji Yuanzhou came out from inside.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Lu Shang and Li Feng finally let go of each other, pretending that nothing had happened.
"Then I'll head back first. Call me when it's time," Lu Shang said.
"Okay." Ji Yuanzhou nodded to him and sat back in his previous seat.
With the departure of the mainland businessman, tonight's drama has come to a complete end.
Seeing that there was no hope, Miao Yin left Tu Hao behind and went to sleep in the Guanyin Eighty-Eight Temple.
Tu Hao leaned against the wall and slept lightly. The squad took turns guarding the gate during the night, and the night passed peacefully.
The next morning, when Miao Yin came out of the Eighty-Eight Temples, everyone was already up, including Tu Hao.
“If you don’t come out soon, I’m already planning to tell them you were eaten by the mutants in the middle of the night,” Tu Hao said.
"No hurries."
Miao Yin pushed aside the shelves that they had blocked off last night and walked out with Tu Hao.
Those people sat outside eating the supplies they had found the day before, but there was clearly not much food, and each person only received a little bit.
Although there was plenty of feed in the warehouse, it wasn't for human consumption, and most of it was spoiled, with a strong stench of seafood everywhere.
"You're up? How did you sleep last night?" Wang Sinian greeted them.
"good."
"Do you have any food? Would you like some?" As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people next to him changed, and they were obviously unwilling.
"No need, we're not hungry."
Miao Yin ate something in her own space before coming out. As for Tu Hao?
Let her go hungry for a meal, it doesn't matter, it's his fault for stabbing her again this morning.
"Oh, okay then. By the way, didn't we say we were going to escape together yesterday? We're planning to go out after we finish eating. What about you guys?"
“Okay,” Miao Yin said.
The survival team didn't have much food to begin with, so they quickly finished their meal, picked up their weapons, and prepared to leave.
Li Feng picked up his stick and tucked the kitchen knife into his waistband. He Mengyun held his hand and said, "Honey, remember to protect me later."
"Of course I'll protect my wife." Li Feng kissed her cheek, then turned to ask Lu Shang if he wanted to follow behind them later.
The mainland businessman readily agreed.
Seeing how sweet they were, the red-haired young man Hu Qing took out his fruit knife and said to Zhang Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, you stay behind me for a bit. I'll protect you and make sure no monster can get close to you."
Zhang Zhenzhen snorted: "Who needs your protection? I'm an ability user. Besides, Lu Shang will be by my side, right?"
Lu Shang nodded: "Of course."
"Oh, you two, still all lovey-dovey at a time like this," Wang Sinian teased, his eyes occasionally glancing at He Mengyun.
Ji Yuanzhou was carefully checking his equipment and even asked Miao Yin and the others if they had any weapons for self-defense, completely unaware of their undercurrents.
And so, this small team with its complex relationships set off from the warehouse.
Ji Yuanzhou was the first to go out. Because he possessed lightning-type attack abilities, he was always the one to clear the way.
The warehouse was quiet and seemed safe, a far cry from the harrowing experience they had yesterday when they stormed in.
He gestured behind him: "You can come out now, there are no mutants outside."
The group then cautiously emerged from inside.
Their route to the warehouse yesterday was different from Miao Yin's. They didn't go through the underwater tunnel, but entered through the main gate, passing by the sea lion enclosure, tropical fish, jellyfish, penguin area, etc., and finally bypassed the seahorse enclosure before entering the warehouse.
They were all running away in a panic to escape the mutants.
This aquarium is quite famous. Several people in the team had been there before and were quite familiar with it, so now they wanted to find a shorter way out.
First, you have to go around the sea lion enclosure, then find the stairs, go up to the first floor, and then pass through the jellyfish area, the performance area, the shark enclosure, the penguin area, and the long corridor and hall before you can reach the main entrance.
What appears to be a long route is actually the shortest they could find.
The sea lion enclosure is very large, with fifty rows of seats above and a large pool and performance stage below, with a few buckets of feed floating alone on the water.
The pool water was no longer clear as before, but a murky yellow-green color, and a strange, foul smell permeated the entire venue. The sea lions had vanished without a trace.
But the mutants won't give way to them.
Even if you try to be discreet, trespassing on someone else's territory in such an open environment will still get you noticed by the lord.
"Clap--"
The quiet sea lion enclosure was suddenly filled with the sound of sea lions clapping their hands.
Zhang Zhenzhen grabbed Lu Shang's hand and asked in a low, anxious voice, "What was that sound?!"
The group immediately stopped in their tracks, looking around in surprise and uncertainty, trying to find the source of the sound.
Miao Yin had already quietly moved away from the group and headed towards the audience seats.
The next moment, a huge object suddenly shot out of the pool, accompanied by a huge splash of water, and crashed heavily to the ground, creating radial cracks.
The creature's head and body remained human-like, but its hands and feet resembled those of a sea lion. The skin below its chest gradually turned black and grew a layer of fine down. Its mouth protruded like that of an ape, revealing sharp fangs.
As everyone turned and ran in panic, the mutant swiftly bit Hu Qing, who was closest to it, and with a snap of its mouth, it easily picked him up as if he were a chick.
Its flipper-like forelimbs pinned Hu Qing down, bit his shoulder, tore off a large chunk of flesh, and swallowed it.
"Aaaaaahh ...
