After dinner, everyone would chat for a while longer before going home. The public security in the Priliccia District was relatively better. The middle class cared a lot about security. They didn't have bodyguards, so they could only rely on the protection provided by the police department. But they also had not-so-weak social connections, so the police precinct in a middle-class district was not a good assignment. No one knew when they would be complained about over the phone for some…-

The thing about feelings is, if you want to be able to deceive people, the first thing you have to do is deceive yourself. You have to invest yourself in having an emotional collision with someone you don't necessarily like, and you have to find some good qualities in the other person. Professional emotional scammers are able to timely withdraw themselves from the roles they play after the other party has taken the bait. Lisa was obviously not such a professional emotional scammer; she had somewhat…

When Ponda found out that the place this "kind person" wanted him to go to was the Empire District, he roughly knew who he was going to see next. It was a very ordinary house on the side of the road, with a sign that read "Wanli Firm." He knocked on the door. Before long, the door opened. The person inside sized him up, "Mr. Ponda?" Ponda nodded, "That's me." He was wearing a set of clothes that looked a bit casual today, and a fisherman's hat, covering his features and face as much as…

Ding Longyun walked to the edge of the roof and looked down. Seeing something, he muttered, "Something's not right tonight." Su Li quickly followed and saw dark shadows churning in the water where they had thrown the corpses. When the shadows surfaced, they revealed themselves to be numerous Water Rat Beasts. These Water Rat Beasts could not climb ropes. Instead, they were diving in through the windows of the 30th floor below. "What's not right? Are you talking about these Water Rat Beasts?" Su Li…

With a "smack," the steel shovel struck the Corpse Beast's thigh, sending the monster flying sideways. "Xuehui, now!" Ding Longyun chuckled. With her previous experience, Xu Xuehui was no longer afraid of these Corpse Beasts. She immediately grabbed the hammer and ran toward the monster that Ding Longyun had knocked down. Su Li also moved to attack. Like Ding Longyun, he only attacked the Corpse Beasts' limbs, leaving the final, fatal blow to Xu Xuehui. Although these were all low-level Corpse…

The two grown men insisted that she eat a little more, and Xu Xuehui managed a few more bites before finally frowning and declaring she couldn't eat any more. Ding Longyun couldn't force her, so he collected the remaining fried rice, which was now completely cool. Xu Xuehui finally let out a sigh of relief. By now, the sky had completely darkened. Ding Longyun found a candle and lit it, making it the only source of light in the dark apartment. "Rest for a while. We'll go up to the roof together…

"Grip the hammer with both hands and swing down with all your strength. Don't be afraid, and don't hesitate to strike. They are no longer human; they are monsters." Su Li guided Xu Xuehui, knowing that getting her to smash a Corpse Beast would be a significant psychological hurdle, and since she wasn't very strong, smashing the monster's head wouldn't be easy. "The first one is always the hardest. Once you take down the first one, the rest will get easier." Under Su Li's guidance, Xu Xuehui…

Additionally, all the windows in this apartment had been sealed from the inside, making the light inside quite dim. "For safety, the four of us slept together back then to look out for each other. It's a shame now that only I'm left." Ding Longyun's expression turned slightly grim as he spoke. Su Li understood that there were four living people here, including Ding Longyun. The other three had been killed by monsters, leaving only Ding Longyun. Seeing the four beds, Su Li's mind stirred. He asked,…

"Heh heh, I don't care for beer. I prefer baijiu ," Ding Longyun said, retrieving a bottle of liquor and a bottle of soda from the room piled with supplies. He handed the soda to Xu Xuehui and placed the liquor on the table. Su Li saw that it was a bottle of Feitian Maotai. Ding Longyun said, "Don't laugh, but I've only ever had Maotai once in my whole life. That was the year my uncle came to my house for the New Year. He brought a bottle, and that was the only time I ever tasted Maotai." "My…

The Water Rat King had killed two of Ding Longyun's companions, but Ding Longyun managed to kill it in turn. "Soul Devour" must be the special skill he acquired by killing the Water Rat King. The two men quickly moved all the items from the raft onto the balcony. When Ding Longyun saw the LPG tank, his eyes lit up. He exclaimed, "My god, is this LPG tank usable?" "Of course," Su Li nodded. "Haha!" Ding Longyun laughed. "The residents in this building use piped gas, and it's all shut off now. I…
