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?

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart?
