Chapter 893: Chapter 389: Galaxy Building (Part 2)

The shelter on the 51st floor connected to the rooftop skylight had been smashed open, and several water collectors had amassed a large amount of water. The water on the floor was also collected into large barrels, to be used for flushing toilets.

Breakfast consisted of thin porridge with pickled vegetables and a few slices of greasy, overwhelming cured meat. The issue everyone discussed during breakfast was the power outage. Stone had been prepared for this all along, as power and water outages were within his expectations. His temporary shelter was equipped with a set of motorized descent devices. Once harnessed, a press of the button could lower people down and pull them up, complete with a fully charged battery. Even without the battery, it wasn’t a problem, because there was also a diesel generator. However, there were only 50 liters of diesel fuel.

Shana didn’t understand, "You bought food, but not much. You prepared a generator, but there’s not much fuel."

"Hey, this is a temporary shelter. Even though I’m the boss, I only have so much energy," Stone argued. "I was born in central city. I had no idea which direction we would evacuate to." On day one, Stone was incredibly busy, not only organizing shelters but also arranging for a batch of supplies to be transported and hidden in four suburbs. After all, he was just a boss, not a prince, and his staff were mostly white-collar workers who lacked physical strength and were reluctant to do work unrelated to their jobs. Even so, he arranged for these people to go on a vacation to an island, hoping they could escape disaster.

Xiao Wen brought several salted duck eggs chopped in half. Stone called her to sit down, "Little Knife is on duty today; she can handle it."

Little Knife came out with the pot of porridge: "Psh! Out with the old, in with the new lover."

Amidst the banter, everyone ate and chatted. Su Shi looked at the walkie-talkie: "Why is there no sound at all?"

Xiao Wen: "There was sound last night."

Everyone looked at her and asked in unison: "What sound?"

Xiao Wen was scared by everyone’s attitude and replied: "Last night there were two rustling noises, so I asked with the walkie-talkie. It seemed the other person was a lunatic."

"A lunatic?"

"He said the ’King of Shadows’ was looking for farmers."

"Holy shit," everyone stood up together: "Then what?"

Xiao Wen was scared again: "Then nothing, the sound stopped."

Stone hurriedly said: "Map, map, map."

"Here." A few people moved to the coffee table, Stone pointed to the underground garage: "I placed a walkie-talkie outside each of the two civil defense doors. One radio is for the door between the office building and the hotel, the other for the door from the plaza to the office building."

"And the power just had to go out." Otherwise, they could take the service elevator down to investigate.

Shana said: "Don’t rush, by the time we were in contact with Xiao Wen, Lin Wu was already inside the Galaxy Building. What time did the power go out?" Everyone looked at Xiao Wen; at that time, everyone was asleep.

Xiao Wen answered: "Probably around five in the morning."

Shana said: "They’re in the parking lot; there’s no light there during the day, their first choice is to wait for us in place. Xiao Wen, did you mention Stone to the other side?"

Xiao Wen: "No, I said I was Xiao Wen and asked who he was."

Shana said: "Lin Wu didn’t ask any further; it must be the walkie-talkie acting up. Knowing Lin Wu, he would wait for us for a while on the spot."

Stone said: "I only arranged for the evacuation, not for arming ourselves. We only have two handguns and not much ammunition. There are zombies everywhere outside. We can only wait until night, using night vision to help find them."

Shana said: "He won’t wait all day; probably he’s waiting while making repairs. We could go out once, but which door are they at?"

Stone asked: "Xiao Wen, any other information? Or did you hear any other noises?"

Shana said: "Was his voice more echoey or more confined?"

Xiao Wen shook her head; she couldn’t recall and didn’t discern the sounds.

"The best thing we can do now is to broadcast, hoping he can receive it, informing him Xiao Wen is one of us, and to wait until nightfall." Shana somewhat helplessly walked to the window and pulled back the curtains, only to see a head hanging on the glass, staring straight at her.

"Ah!" Startled, Shana stepped back, lost balance, and tried hard to stay upright, dodging the chair and tilting 45 degrees to the left. After two desperate steps, she finally hit the ground, sliding 20 centimeters face first, pointing at the window: "Jumbled gibberish." Her mouth was filled with blood from her teeth.

"What?" The bold Little Knife pulled the curtains open and saw the fierce-eyed Lin Wu. Little Knife quickly shut the curtains and turned to everyone: "It’s an illusion."

"What illusion?"

"Lin Wu floating outside the 51st floor."

As they spoke, knocks sounded on the window. Stone stepped forward, pulled open the curtains to see Lin Wu, not bothering to see if Lin Wu was floating or hanging, but immediately opened the window. Lin Wu stretched his hand to grab the window sill and flipped into the lobby, kicking out at Little Knife, who dodged, not expecting the feint, as Lin Wu knocked on her head with his left hand: "Would you compensate me if I died from the fall?"

Little Knife laughed and cried as she hugged Lin Wu, followed by Su Shi, and then Xiao Wen. Lin Wu asked: "Xiao Wen?"

"Hello."

"Hello."

Stone asked: "How did you get up here?"

"Climbed up."

Stone: "Psh, you might as well say you flew up."

Lin Wu: "Never mind that, Lin Meng is still below, along with an Earth friend."

Shana asked: "Where?"

Lin Wu said: "Door A."

Shana asked: "Inside the parking lot?"

Lin Wu: "Yes."

Shana: "That’s not right, let alone coming out of the parking lot, even coming out the nearest exit you have to detour 300 meters to get to the bottom of the building. Take a look outside, it’s all zombies."
