Chapter 16 Leaving the Apartment
Seeing her frown, Zhong Li was afraid that she would misunderstand that he wanted to have sex for free, so he added: "I can exchange supplies for water, food, and medicine."

Jiang Mi had a good impression of this person. After all, during her time abroad, his professionalism and never asking too many questions made her very worry-free.

After thinking about it, Jiang Mi took five packs of sanitary napkins and handed them to him, "Just two bottles of water."

Taking the water from Zhong Li, Jiang Mi asked casually while checking, "How old is your sister?"

"Eight years old." Zhong Li paused before leaving and replied.

"How much??" Jiang Mi raised her head in surprise, frowned again, thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "It is normal for a girl to be between 12-15 years old for the first time. If you remember your sister correctly, age, then your sister may have a health problem."

Zhong Li tightened his grip on the sanitary napkin package and said in a low voice, "My sister is sick. I will take care of it. Thank you for your concern."

Jiang Mi nodded noncommittally. Since he had known for a long time that his sister had health problems, there was no need for her to say anything more.

Jiang Mi didn't take this transaction to heart because 2602's neighbors were always quiet, and it didn't take long for her to forget about it.

After more than half a month of calm, the swollen seawater finally receded below the three-story building, and most of the buildings surfaced. But what is strange is that there should be many corpses on the water after the sudden tsunami, but When you look around now, you can barely see it.

Only fragments of body parts can be seen here and there.

"Are they those mutated sea monsters?" Jiang Xun walked to her side, looked at the sea with her and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Mi nodded and watched helplessly as a severed limb floating quietly on the sea was suddenly dragged by an unknown thing and disappeared into the water.

"When the sea water completely recedes, a large number of mutated sea monsters will be left on land, becoming the biggest threat to the early survivors."

"Some sea monsters have extremely keen hearing, some sea monsters are extremely powerful, and some sea monsters are extremely agile. Even if we are on the 26th floor, it is not safe. Many sea monsters have the ability to climb, and" Jiang Mi took a deep breath, looking a little confused. Dignity said, "The reason why those sea monsters are still hiding peacefully in the water is because they have enough food."

As for the so-called food, it is naturally the remains of the victims.

"Sea monsters are not only extremely numerous but also have huge appetites. Sea monsters in previous lives started hunting survivors on Day No. 20 after the tsunami. That was the first time humans came into contact with sea monsters. Most people did not have reasonable means of coping. Survivors It was hit hard and the numbers dropped sharply again.”

"Furthermore, because those sea monsters have a certain degree of photophobia, sea monsters will be extremely active at night and even hunt survivors in groups."

Jiang Xun's face was also more solemn than ever before. Although the sea monster was not afraid of pain or bleeding like the zombies in the novel, it was obvious that this kind of creature that still retained its brain was obviously more difficult to deal with.

"The most important thing is that they will continue to mutate, not... or rather, evolve." Jiang Mi looked cold.

"Get ready. Let's take our parents out early tomorrow morning and head to the air-raid shelter. The water level has dropped and the entrance to the air-raid shelter should be open." Jiang Mi said, turning and leaving the balcony to pack things.

"The sea monster is at its weakest at this stage, and the radiation concentration in the air is not too high. Wearing protective clothing and radiation-proof bracelets can protect us from pollution to the maximum extent. As long as we move quickly, we can come down at night Get into the dugout before.”

Jiang Xun didn't say anything more and turned back to the room.night.

Jiang Mi handed a small silver pistol to Jiang's mother. During this period, she had been teaching her parents how to use firearms. Although she only used fake guns to simulate them, she was able to fire and load them.

Four sets of protective combat uniforms and head-mounted radiation masks were neatly placed on the ground, along with various melee weapons.

"These are things we need to carry with us. There are unknown dangers in the sea, so we must be careful before reaching the air raid shelter." Jiang Mi warned while explaining the function of this equipment.

Mother Jiang took a deep breath to calm down her nervousness, waved the dagger twice in a decent manner, and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, my dear, your mother was once a prominent figure in the university's martial arts club, and I even won an award. I will never do this." It’s holding you back!”

Jiang Mi was amused by his mother's serious look, and Jiang's father also smiled and said: "Don't underestimate your dad. Before we started business, we were also farmers. If nothing else, we still have strength. We were the same in the 70s. Live some worldly life.”

The dull atmosphere was swept away, and Jiang Mi felt a warmth emerge in his heart.

After a good night's sleep, the family opened the door to the apartment after having a good breakfast before dawn the next morning.

As soon as the door opened, the tip of his nose was immediately filled with an unpleasant smell. The fishy smell of sea mixed with the smell of rotten meat and some miscellaneous strange smells were the first ones. Jiang Mi was so smoked that he closed his eyes for a moment and then calmed down. Fight back the nausea.

There was no one in the corridor on the 26th floor, not even a body was seen, but some dirty blood stains could be seen on the walls, some were splattered and some were dragged, and the originally clean and smooth tile floor was also broken in many places. , the mud carried by the sea water is everywhere, and the sticky feeling when you step on it makes you feel uncomfortable all over.

Jiang Mi walked to the elevator entrance and made sure that the whole floor was safe. Then he nodded to Jiang Xun beside him and made a safety gesture. Jiang Xun nodded, turned around and took Jiang's father and mother out.

The elevator was out of service, so the family walked down the stairs.

There were more blood stains in the corridor, and the stench was stronger. After going down three floors, he saw a mostly rotted corpse. Jiang Mi took a quick look, confirmed that it was not Zhang Jinglan's mother and daughter, and left quickly.

The further you go down, the stronger the putrid smell becomes, and even more seawater accumulates in the corridor. By the time you get to the fourth floor, the seawater in the corridor is almost up to your ankles, and there are all kinds of garbage floating on the water. The entire floor is full of seawater. All the doors to the residents were opened, and the house was even more messy.

Jiang Mi looked down from the fourth floor. After confirming the water level, he took out a lifeboat from his extra-dimensional space and threw it onto the water through the broken window.

She jumped into the lifeboat first to confirm that everything was normal, and then asked Jiang Xun to help her parents jump into the lifeboat one by one. All four people fell into the boat safely.

Jiang Mi lowered his voice and said, "Although sea monsters are afraid of light, some deformed plants are not. I will sail the boat while you observe the surroundings."

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang nodded and sat on the left and right sides, while Jiang Xun sat at the stern of the boat.

When he was ready, Jiang Mi started the lifeboat and sped towards the air-raid shelter.
