"There must be something important inside with such a heavy metal door!" Mu Xiao tightly grasped the handle of the metal gate, his whole body bursting with energy, his legs like giant trees rooted to the ground, his strength surging towards his arms, his veins bulging with effort, his muscles rippling like a dragon as he strained every fiber of his being, unleashing a burst of power to pull open the metal gate.

  A sturdy and heavy metal door was slowly pulled open by him.

  Mu Shao's entire body had just undergone intense exercise, but he was like a person who hadn't done anything, quickly calming the surging blood and muscle soreness, walking down the stairs below.

  His body has undergone flexibility strengthening, and the elasticity of most tendons, joints, muscles, skin and other cellular tissues has been fully restored, naturally having good recovery ability. As long as it is not a multiple explosive force that exceeds the body's flexibility limit, there is no need to worry about damage to the body.

  ……

  The stairs on the third floor underground were even deeper than the first two times, and Mu Xiao's spiritual power detected that there were many surveillance devices and armed devices hidden in the stairwell. If it weren't for the machine being invaded by an electronic virus, most of the equipment would be intact, and Mu Xiao wouldn't have been able to walk down so easily.

  "With so many security measures, what's inside?" Mu Xiao walked for about a minute and saw another metal door standing in front of him. It was also a very precise and sturdy metal door, but it wasn't as heavy as the previous large gate, and Mu Xiao was able to push it open with less than half his strength.

  After the gate opened, Mu Xiao saw a mountain of things piled up, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, stunned and muttered to himself: "It turned out to be a material storage area..."

  A room of over 500 square meters, like a small plaza, stored a large number of boxed items. Mu Xiao used his spiritual power to scan and found electronic components, mechanical parts, various grades of nutrient solutions and life gene medicines, many high-grade Chinese medicinal materials, numerous weapons and equipment of different levels, as well as unpacked multifunctional robots, micro-detection machines, magnetic levitation cars, bullet-shaped nuclear-powered vehicles, and other expensive items.

  Among them are many different types of energy blocks and also found some light brain machine things.

  "With so many supplies stored before the disaster, it's at least tens of billions of credit points. Just relying on weapons and equipment, nutrient solutions, and life gene medicine, it's enough to support an elite team of around 300 people." Mu Xiao slightly gasped in surprise, no wonder there were so many safety measures, it turned out to be a large warehouse, looks like staying here to explore was the right bet.

  It can be certain that some of the materials were stored here by the federal government for emergency use, while another part should be smuggled goods. It can even be said that someone took advantage of their power to confiscate property from certain companies and obtained some good things through other unscrupulous means.

  Otherwise, a warehouse would not be so chaotic, with many types of goods that are unrelated, and most of them are not clearly labeled or categorized. What's more serious is that Mu Xiao found some cargo with other companies' logos, if they were federal supplies, they should have the federal logo printed on them, rather than other companies' logos.

  The law firm is a federal agency, so it's no wonder that there are so many different kinds of supplies.

  "We must move in here!" Mu Xiao's eyes shone with determination.

  This large warehouse stored so many rich materials, making it even more difficult for Mu Xiao to shake off the idea of taking this place as his base. He couldn't wait to move in immediately, but he also had a lot of precious medicinal materials and medicines at his residence that he couldn't abandon. Moreover, his little sister was also living there, and coming over would pose some risk, so he needed to make sure she had the ability to protect herself before he could come here to live.

  "Now go back to the residence, think of a way to move all the things in, and bring little sister along to increase the genetic resonance frequency..." Mu Xiao didn't touch anything in the warehouse, and decisively left, closing the metal door. Then, he returned to the upper floor, not minding the trouble, and once again burst out with full strength, closing that one heavy-as-a-mountain metal gate.

  Actually, the basement has a secret exit. Mu Xiao doesn't want to open this secret exit for the time being, because if he does, he won't know what's outside and might attract other unknown mutated creatures, which wouldn't be good. Moreover, encountering surviving humans, it's possible that someone will have greedy intentions, and Mu Xiao would inevitably have to kill again.

  So he temporarily used the law firm as an exit.

  Wow!

  Mù xiāo hū chū yī kǒu zhuó qì, shēn shēn guān jié de jī ròu, zhí jiē zhuǎn shēn lí kāi.

  Translation:

  He let out a mouthful of turbid air, stretched his joints and muscles, and turned around to leave directly.

  Earlier, on the upper floor of the staircase, Mu Xiao killed several zombies and left their bodies behind. Mu Xiao took out a bottle of flammable chemicals from his backpack, which he had obtained from the mechanical room, and splashed it over them.

  A cluster of blue-green high-temperature flames quickly ignited on the body, and after about five or six minutes, it turned into a pile of cracked charcoal.

  Mu Xiao made sure the flames were extinguished before leaving, otherwise if a fire broke out here and burned all the supplies, he would definitely be left with nothing. Although the stairway was clear of any obstructions and there was little chance of a fire occurring, he didn't want to take such a small risk.

  Before long, Mu Xiao returned to the fourth floor which was littered with corpses. On his way back, he didn't encounter any more zombies either, probably because he had already killed all those who were supposed to die.

  All flammable chemicals were splashed onto the corpses, and the green and red flames intertwined like a fire monster constantly devouring the bodies.

  The walls of the stairwell were made of fire-resistant materials, but the flames were extremely high-temperature, and soon some of the materials cracked open, filling the entire passageway with thick smoke. The ventilation equipment here was paralyzed and unable to work, and the black, pungent smoke was unbearable for Mu Shao, so he had no choice but to walk into the room, close the door tightly, and observe the extent of the fire outside with his spiritual power.

  The duration of combustion chemical agents is not long, and after a fierce peak in temperature, it gradually extinguishes.

  Mu Xiao detected that the flames had been extinguished, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited until the smoke inside had dissipated before entering. At a glance, he saw that the ground was littered with strange and grotesque human-shaped charcoal, filling him with an eerie and chilling feeling.

  "It's fine for now..."

  Mushan also felt that the entire staircase was a charnel house, and he didn't feel quite right all over, but if they left the corpses unattended, it would attract a large group of zombies to come here for a meal, which would be even more terrible.

  "It's possible to repair the general cleaning robot, and it should be able to take care of these small troubles soon." Mu Xiao understood that what she lacked now was not powerful combat capabilities, but rather auxiliary abilities. Whether it was dealing with the current cleaning problems or future repairs to the underground defense system, she needed to have the 'intelligence system' capability.

  Starting from the first floor, Mu Xiao closed one by one the rooms outside this secret staircase, reducing the number of zombies entering or people taking refuge in this secret passage leading to all hidden rooms and underground chambers.

  He did everything and left from a normal room on the fifth floor, back to the corridor outside the lawyer's office.

  "There are no survivors, nor are there any zombies." Mu Xiao walked down while using his spiritual power to detect the surrounding rooms, checking for signs of human life and sensing if there were still any zombies present.

  Not because they want to save people, but because they don't want their 'new home' to welcome strange guests.

  Mushan has already taken this lawyer building as his own.

  He fell from the fifth floor in just a few steps and had just turned into a corner.

  Suddenly, Mu Xiao's spirit caught a glimpse of an unknown object as fast as lightning, and when he reacted, something tall had already flashed before his eyes.

  Hurry!

  Kuai De Mu Xiao came too quickly for him to react, and he was torn apart by the sudden appearance of something that ripped through his black armor suit. The chest strap on his backpack was also torn in two, causing the entire pack to fall to the ground. Five gashes appeared on his chest, deeply slashing through the muscle, but strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

  "What?!"

  Muxiao endured the pain and shouted, his movements not slow, using force to push off the ground, his body violently retreating back to the stairs entrance, without hesitation using his mental energy to blast forward.

  It was then that Mu Xiao finally saw clearly what had attacked him.

  Tall and thin, with knife-like fingernails. White hair with bloodstains, eyes glowing red, tightly clenched teeth a section longer than normal, baring fangs, ferocious and sharp. If bitten, even skin and flesh might be torn off in a large chunk.

  This is a woman wearing a white work uniform, no doubt she is an internal staff member of the building. However, after mutating into a monster, she did not leave and instead hid on the upper floor to undergo genetic evolution. When Mu Xiao appeared at that moment, this mutated woman suddenly launched an attack due to her craving for flesh and blood.

  Through evolution, the variant humans have acquired wisdom similar to that of human cunning, or it can be said that they possess the instincts of wild beasts. Moreover, their strength is above that of Mu Shao, with a full 20 times genetic resonance, no wonder Mu Shao's spiritual force detected an object rapidly approaching, but his body couldn't react in time.

  The powerful mental force of Mu Shuo only pushed the mutated woman's body back a few steps without causing any harm.

  "Damn it! I actually encountered a mutant!" Mu Xiao cursed, hunger surged again, and his body was slightly affected. The new humans who hadn't cultivated their realm were really too weak!

  "Chirp... chirp..."

  The variant woman's dense, serrated teeth scraped together with a sharp, glass-scraping sound, as if mocking the weak attack of Mu Shao.

  "The mutant is indeed different from those undead creatures." Mu Xiao endured the pain and still managed to make a calm analysis, also noticing that there was no fresh blood flowing out of her body.

  "It seems that one's own body is somewhat unusual..."

  While Mokushiro was thinking of a countermeasure, the mutant woman launched a ferocious attack.

  The mutated woman with a violent rise opens her icy blade-like fingernails and makes a rapid thrust.

  Mu Shuo didn't retreat, instead counterattacking. His fists were filled with rage, his veins bulging. He transformed his spiritual energy into an invisible fist aura, using it to amplify his strength. With a loud crash, he punched the mutated woman's head.

  Under the rapid variation of the woman, Mu Shao's fist was unable to dodge, but his sharp claws grabbed onto Mu Shao's arm. However, Mu Shao's gravity-filled punch landed squarely on the variant woman's face, the impact force sending her tumbling several times before crashing into a corridor bench, the immense impact force shattering the bench into pieces.

  Mu Xiao's arm had five more deep scars, the fist that smashed the mutant woman's head was slightly numb, her face was like a steel plate covered with skin.

  The pain was piercing to the bone. Mu Xiao clenched his teeth and endured the pain, the wounds on his arm and body had cut into the flesh, if not for the Nianli Fist protecting his fist, it would have been even more painful.

  Mushuo clearly knew how big his fist was, even if it was a large elephant, he would be killed with one punch. However, when his fist hit the face of the mutant woman, it didn't smash into a pulp, but instead made his own fist numb. He vaguely suspected that this mutant's physique was similar to his own, and was about to break through to a new level. Most importantly, its genetic resonance frequency was higher than his own, which gave him a feeling of being suppressed.

  "It's just as well that my psychic powers can be used in various ways. If I were to use the same tactics as against the Variant Cat, it would be impossible to restrict this Variant Human and I'd easily be overpowered... wasting my psychic powers..." Mu Xiao thought quickly and analyzed the situation before immediately launching a counterattack, taking down the Variant Human.

  Although the mutated woman's head didn't explode, she appeared dizzy for a short while and hadn't gotten up yet. Mu Xiao jumped up, his spiritual power transforming into a drill that attached to his foot, all his strength gathering at the soles of his feet, with the momentum of splitting mountains and breaking rocks, he kicked the mutated woman's spine!

  The spine makes a cracking sound.

  "Hmph!!!!"

  The mutant woman let out an extremely painful, sharp and hoarse voice, piercing the eardrums, dazed for a moment by the pain, her tall and thin body struggling violently, like a reptile, with all four limbs clawing at the ground.

  "This guy is really going to hurt!"

  In the blink of an eye, the force with which Mu Xiao was stepping on the back of the mutated woman suddenly exploded and threw him off, rushing forward and pulling away from Mu Xiao at a safe distance before finally stopping.
