The flamethrower warriors were undoubtedly the fastest to level up. With one flame dragon going down, countless mutated beasts lost their lives. It's not surprising at all that the two of them leveled up after this.
After leveling up, both of them can now emit twenty flames!
With continuous flames wildly spurting across the sky and ground, the term "blanketing the earth" can be appropriately used.
The mutated beasts that were frantically chasing them were forcibly interrupted, which finally allowed Xiao Fan and the others to successfully rush to the front of the office building!
After shooting and breaking down the iron door, the team charged in.
Xiao Fan had already seen the map. In this office building, there were about a hundred zombies or so.
Entering the building, there was blood everywhere near the entrance, it goes without saying, something unpleasant must have happened here when the apocalypse started.
Because the windows inside the building had iron grilles, and the door was probably locked at the time too, no mutated beasts had come in here, but the sturdy fortress was destroyed from within when someone mutated and everyone died.
As Xiao Fan's team charged in, the flame guns continued to spew flames while the others quickly took cover. Some warriors even moved two huge metal cabinets to blockade the door.
The mutated beasts came to the outside of the building but couldn't find a way in. Unwilling to leave, they lingered in front of the office building.
Along the way, there were many dead birds and beasts, attracting other mutated beasts over to feast on them. Gradually, they all came towards the office building.
But Xiao Fan didn't have time to deal with the mutated beasts right now. He started leading the team to clear out the zombies inside the building.
With bursts of gunshots, the zombies in the three-story building were cleared out one by one.
For Xiao Fan’s current team, the hundred or so zombies were nothing. With the radar's guidance, they could easily be wiped out.
After clearing out the zombies, they collected over 300 more gold coins, bringing Xiao Fan's funds up to 4,200.
By this time, more and more mutated beasts were gathering outside. The warriors had no choice but to barricade the first floor entrance with a large amount of miscellaneous items, to prevent the mutated beasts from rushing in. Then they set up defenses respectively at the windows on the first and second floors, relying on the iron windows.
"Roar~~!"
"Whine~~!"
Strange roars kept coming, the earth shook, accompanied by the rumbling sound of footsteps. Some large mutated beasts had appeared.
From the second floor window, Xiao Fan could clearly see a pride of lions appearing in his line of sight.
The lion at the front was unbelievably strong, looking to weigh at least 400 kg. Its mane blew wildly, and many of the surrounding mutated beasts retreated as soon as it appeared.
Occasionally, struggles would happen between mutated beasts of different species, like the gray wolves previously chasing the sheep.
But in the presence of other species, such fights would stop. It was just like when the gray wolves saw Xiao Fan and the others, they immediately gave up chasing the sheep.
The situation now was the same. The mutated beasts roared sporadically but did not attack each other. Instead, they all targeted Xiao Fan and the others inside the building.
Although the lions were terrifying, Xiao Fan was not too afraid because they still seemed to be vulnerable to firearms.
Even if killing them wasn't easy, the iron windows here were not so easy to break through either.
But the mutated beasts that appeared later really worried Xiao Fan.
Mutated rhinos like battle tanks, and mutated elephants the size of moving houses!
These guys were already thick-skinned and sturdy before mutation. Now they were unimaginably powerful. Just looking at their skin once would make one lose the desire to shoot them with ordinary firearms.
If you wanted to hurt them, probably only the flamethrowers and sniper rifles could do it.
As soon as the violent mutated rhinos appeared, they actually charged straight at the building!
Its sturdy horns were even tougher than metal. With a fierce impact, it actually smashed open a hole in the wall!
The terrifying giant elephants behind shook their heads and tails as they lumbered over, about to smash into the walls with their massive bodies.
Xiao Fan took one look and immediately ordered the flamethrower warriors to go forward and drive away these giant beasts with flames.
The might of the flame guns was still reliable. Two consecutive flames shot out and burned the two elephants and one rhino. These enraged beasts ran around wildly, trampling some smaller mutated beasts to death.
Seeing this, the mutated beasts that wanted to attack the building immediately pounced over to devour the meat and blood, which could make them stronger.
Although the flame guns drove back the giant beasts, the flames would still run out eventually. Fortunately, both flamethrower warriors had just leveled up and could still hold out for a while.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Fan ordered the warriors to search inside the building to see if they could find any money.
The warriors searched everywhere while Xiao Fan himself went up to the third floor, where the office of the zoo director was located.
He walked all the way to the end of the third floor corridor and opened the door to the director's office.
The office was large. Although the potted plants inside had withered, the originally fresh and elegant decor showed the owner's taste.
Behind the desk was a plaque with the four characters "Abundance of Gold and Jade".
According to Xiao Fan’s knowledge, this zoo had long been contracted out and was run by a private boss.
This boss had good foresight and business acumen. In recent years he had made the zoo extremely popular, supposedly one of the top tycoons in Yan Yun.
Moreover, Xiao Fan had also heard that this boss didn't actually like refined tastes. The only thing he truly liked was gold. Xiao Fan didn’t know if this was true or false.
Even if it was true, would he put gold in his office? That would attract too much attention right?
With a glimmer of hope, Xiao Fan’s eyes swept over the office.
Soon, he noticed the display cabinet leaning against the wall.
It contained the various honors the boss had obtained in the past, like the Yan Yun City Top 10 Youth Entrepreneur Award Medal, Philanthropist Certificates, and so on.
The most numerous were small ornaments.
There were at least a hundred of these animal ornaments. It seemed that every time the zoo obtained a new animal, this boss would make an ornament and put it here.
The golden ornaments sat on the worn bronze racks, raising a thread of hope in Xiao Fan's heart.
Could these ornaments be made of gold?
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
