Chapter 5: Rescue? Seeking Collection

  The bathroom on the first floor.

  Buzz buzz buzz...... Mutant mosquitoes keep crashing into the bathroom door.

  "Ah Yu, do you think Liang Jing will come down and help us?" Liu Zhen asked anxiously, propping herself against the bathroom door with both hands.

  "Ah Zhen, don't worry, I'm here to take care of it. Let's get the monsters outside to calm down." Gao Fu Yu was also anxious at this time. Originally, only two monster mosquitoes knew they were inside, but because of their loud cry for help earlier, more monster mosquitoes had been attracted and were constantly hitting against the bathroom door.

  "Hmm... I knew it, you're the most capable one. Nothing is difficult for you." As she spoke, she also gave Gao Fu Yu a flirtatious glance with sparkling eyes.

  "Haha, of course, it's easy to bully those working-class people like Liang Jing, I have many ways to make him surrender." Gao Fu Yu was somewhat carried away by Liu Zhen's flirtatious gaze, as a local he usually spoke loudly and thought himself superior to these migrant workers, often acting recklessly, but this time he also included Liu Zhen in his disdain.

  A hint of disgust flashed in Liu Zhen's eyes, but her expression quickly recovered. Meanwhile, Gao Yu was too busy indulging in his own self-importance to notice.

  Boom boom boom...

  A loud crash woke up Gao Fu Yu, knowing that the thin bathroom door would not last for long, she didn't care about anything else and immediately shouted loudly.

  "Jing, come down from the horse and shoo away these strange mosquitoes..."

  The beam on the second floor also raised an eyebrow, was this Gao Fu Yu looking for death? He could ask people like that! Although he usually didn't appreciate Gao Fu Yu's tone of voice, after all, he was a local, and a dragon couldn't suppress a snake in its own nest. As long as it was within a certain range, just smiling would be enough. Thinking to himself, he thought Gao Fu Yu had been cornered, shook his head and didn't take it seriously.

  He glanced at the last locked room on the second floor, which was Jinghui's room. He was surprised that Jinghui had to work overtime at the factory today. Jinghui was Liangjing's colleague and roommate, and he usually worked in the office for just five days a week, eight hours a day, with a fixed salary. Unless the factory was short-staffed and needed to recruit new people from the city job market, there was no reason for him to work overtime. He didn't expect Jinghui to say that he had to go to the factory on a weekend.

  Shaking his head, forget it. Now he's still thinking about these things. This little white face probably didn't do a good job again. The theft of many materials in the factory is not unrelated to him. Liang Jing knows something about this, but she also doesn't say much.

  He didn't slow down his pace, nor did he respond to Gao Feng's shouts. He planned to observe the situation first and wouldn't risk his life to save others if it was too dangerous. Liang Jing didn't have that kind of selfless spirit.

  Looking from the staircase, Liang Jing couldn't help but reveal a strange and playful expression. Among the four rooms, only the landlord's room was open, which meant there shouldn't be any mutated monsters inside. However, their cries for help were coming from the kitchen and bathroom area, or more precisely, from the bathroom itself.

  Can't help but think, it shouldn't have developed to that point so quickly, the two of them are indeed a perfect match, shook her head and thought maybe she was overthinking, they might be fleeing from mutated monsters and hiding inside to resist, Liang Jing muttered to herself.

  The sound from the bathroom suggests that there are no variant spiders inside, if there were, the bathroom door wouldn't have held up. Now, even if Gao Feng and Yu are inside, they won't be shouting loudly, but it's unknown how many variant mosquitoes are in there.

  Now Liang Jing also found that the most common ones are variant spiders and variant mosquitoes, while others are relatively rare.

  Boom boom boom...

  The sound of mutated mosquitoes crashing into the bathroom door kept coming from downstairs, and Liu Zhen's cries grew more desperate.

  "TMD, Liang Jing are you dead? Don't you want to mix anymore? Come down quickly!" Gao Fu Yu really couldn't support it anymore and was furious. You're just a foreign worker pretending to be something you're not, it's easy to deal with him, there are many ways. Now the rental situation on the second floor of this building is very hot, just drive him away and rent it to someone else, or even discuss with other landlords not to rent a house to Liang Jing, see how he can still mix here.

  "Looking for death!"

  The upstairs Liang Jing heard this and his eyes turned cold. Originally, he was already in a bad mood because of Xiao Gao's affairs. Was this guy looking for death? For a moment, Liang Jing even thought of waiting for Gao Fu Yu to be killed by the mutated mosquitoes, but after thinking about it, Liu Zhen was inside, and maybe Gao Fu Yu was really desperate and forced to speak like that. Plus, he usually spoke roughly and rudely anyway.

  Liang Jing quickly thought of a way, and it was no longer possible to use mosquito nets, but instead pulled the spider webs in the second-floor hall and kitchen together, waiting for the mutated mosquitoes to be attracted and thrown into the spider web, making it easy to solve.

  Bang!

  A ceramic flower pot with a diameter of about 20 cm, containing the flowers and soil inside, was smashed into the kitchen door under Liang Jing's powerful force, suddenly opening the door. The mutated mosquitoes inside were startled, and when they saw Liang Jing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, they seemed to be excited and flew up towards her, but then hesitated for a moment as if uncertain.

  How come you didn't come up?

  Is it because of the mutated spider upstairs? They know there is a natural enemy above.

  "Uggghhh... Thud!"

  However, Liang Jing did not give up. With his right hand holding the red clay teapot, he suddenly exerted force, and the red clay teapot flew at high speed under Liang Jing's extraordinary power, instantly appearing in front of a mutated mosquito. It hit the wall beside the bathroom door with a loud crash, shattering into pieces on the ground, leaving behind fragments of the teapot and the long, limp legs of the mutated mosquito that had been smashed flat, twitching weakly.

  A faint white glow was absorbed into the body, feeling much weaker, and the white glow of the mutated mosquito seemed to have a greatly reduced effect. It's unclear whether it's because the body is saturated and no longer absorbing or if the mutated mosquito's mutated white light is too low-level.

  This stirred up a hornet's nest, and after Liang Jing deliberately showed his face, their fear of natural enemies could no longer hold them back. After a brief hesitation, they buzzed loudly and rapidly advanced upwards at an extremely fast flying speed, living up to the name "Air Force". Just as Liang Jing had barely run into the kitchen to avoid the spider web, they were about to catch up with him from behind.

  Li Jing ignored this group of stimulated insects that had forgotten their lives and deaths, stepped into the bathroom without stopping, bang... closed the door. The powerful force directly knocked the fish that had passed through the spider web back, shaking and swaying, about to fall down, finally fell on the spider web, like a fish stuck in a fishing net, jumping and jumping, unable to escape.

  "Get 4 bronze coins"

  There were a total of four, all killed by Liang Jing, none survived, and became the nutrients for Liang Jing's upgrade and strengthening. Among them, two variant mosquitoes each burst out 2 copper coins, if calculated this way, the probability of coin drop seems to be around 50%.

  Five groups of faint white spiritual light entered Liang Jing's body one after another, making his body even more robust and agile, his spirit full and his strength increasing. He was getting closer to the state of transformation, but a problem arose - his figure had become stouter, and his entire body seemed to have expanded by a circle.

  "Liáng Jìng, Liáng Jìng... are you there?"

  "Liáng Jìng, how's the situation outside?"

  “……”

  It seems that there are no more mutated mosquitoes outside, but I don't dare to go out. In the bathroom, I keep shouting, hoping to get a definite answer from Liang Jing.

  The sound was still coming from the bathroom, and Liang Jing felt a bit annoyed with these two people. Can you be louder? Can't you finish playing soon? Aren't you afraid of attracting more variant monsters?

  Down to the first floor, Liang Jing also ignored them and didn't respond to their words from start to finish. After searching around the first floor to see if there were any more mutated monsters, she locked the front door.

  The living room on the first floor was still relatively clean and didn't seem to have suffered much. However, upon going downstairs, a corpse of a mutated spider was found at the bottom of the stairs, which was much smaller than any that Liang Jing had seen before. The corpse was almost completely dry, with several corpses of mutated mosquitoes nearby. It seemed that these two natural enemies had been fighting non-stop since their mutation, and the mosquitoes had managed to gang up and kill the spider before it could evolve further.

  It's quiet outside again, and there is no response from Liang Jing. The anxiety in his heart grows even more intense, and the voices shouting in the bathroom become even louder.

  Liang Jing didn't have time to deal with them, numbly, and wasn't afraid of provoking more variant monsters. He was simply a stupid fighting machine! It's better if they come out slower, he searched for things that might be useful to him on the first floor. Whatever caught his eye would directly disappear from his hand and then appear in his item list, and he threw away some items.

  Found a thermos, and surprisingly there was still hot water inside. Liang Jing didn't hesitate to take out the last two packets of instant noodles and soak them, preparing for lunch. It's already 2 pm now, and she hadn't eaten breakfast either, her stomach is growling with hunger.

  "Alright, you can come out now. There are no more mutated creatures here." Liang Jing shouted impatiently towards the kitchen and bathroom area.

  After confirming twice with each other, they finally left the narrow bathroom and walked out.

  Wow! It seems that my previous so-called crooked thoughts were correct, these two are really hooked up, and I guess they're preparing for a crazy and pleasant in-depth communication over the weekend.

  The man's physique was almost deformed, with no visible muscles or a healthy appearance. His skin was pale and clean, his belly protruded, and his neck and chest were flushed red. He wore a gold chain around his neck and only had on a pair of four-cornered briefs. Hmm, from the outside, he didn't look very impressive.

  The woman was wrapped in a white bath towel, her hair tied up and coiled behind her head, with a flush on her face, and her watery eyes seemed to see Liang Jing as somewhat flustered and embarrassed.

  Looking at Gao Fu Yu, Liang Jing couldn't help but compare himself. At 178 cm tall and nearly 80 kg in weight, he was lean yet not bulky like a bodybuilder. His perfect muscles and physique were matched by his ordinary yet angular face, making him the epitome of masculinity. He felt very satisfied with himself and looked down on women who only liked pretty boys, thinking they had no taste.

  In Liang Jingxin's heart, he didn't know if it was jealousy or what, but he looked down on handsome, delicate and fair-skinned men. In his words, a man should have the appearance of a man, strong, powerful and robust.

  "Liáng Jìng, how come you're only arriving now? Do you know how urgent our situation was back then? What would have happened if something had gone wrong!" Gāo Fù Yù had just been praised by Liú Zhēn a few sentences ago, and her heart was even more fluttering with excitement, making her increasingly impatient with Liáng Jìng who was eating noodles on the side, muttering to herself.

  Liang Jing was eating noodles when he heard this and raised an eyebrow, what's wrong with this kid? He still owes me for saving his life? Does he really think he's so awesome that others owe him?

  "I'm telling you, in Qing Shui Bay, no one doesn't give me three points of face. If they offend me, they can't mix in the 1/3 acre land of Qing Shui Bay!"

  "Boom!"

  One of the wooden stools was kicked by Liang Jing and flew to Gao Fu Yu's door, smashing it into pieces, with wood shavings splashing everywhere, making a loud cracking sound, and the door also had a big hole punched in it, with broken planks.

  This wooden stool was made of solid wood, sturdy and durable with a layer of varnish on it. But surprisingly, Liang Jing kicked it with one foot and it fell apart. If he had kicked a person like that, wouldn't their bones and internal organs have been shattered?

  Liáng Jìng also didn't think that with one kick, he would actually destroy the wooden stool and the door. After a series of strengthening his body, it had already surpassed the physical quality of four normal people combined.

  The huge noise startled the two people on one side. Especially Gao Fu Yu was so frightened that he reflexively stood up from his original seat, as if pushed by the splashing wood chips, and took two unconscious steps back. His already pale face turned even whiter.

  "Don't come and provoke me, otherwise you'll bear the consequences!"

  Liang Jing patted Gao Fu Yu's pale face, and Gao Fu Yu nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. "Now answer my question, it's best if you don't say something I don't want to hear. You should know that with so many monsters around, it's very normal for people to die or disappear randomly, do you understand?"

  Gao Fu Yu was really frightened this time, his mind still in the peaceful world of before. What Liang Jing said also made sense, with so many monsters and dead people, it's likely that if Liang Jing had really killed himself, his body would have been eaten by the monsters quickly, and when the government came to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything.

  Suddenly it seemed that even the things in his four-cornered pants had shrunk a bit, and he couldn't help but nod hastily, which made Liu Zhen on the side look at him with even more disdain.
