Chapter 5

Jiang Feng leaned against the door, sitting down, his baseball cap, stained with blood, almost falling off. Huang Xiaoyue, dragging the yuan crystal in her hand, sat opposite him. Outside the door, it had become completely silent. Inside the room, it was also quiet.

The TV screen was full of static, as if Huang Xiaoyue had just turned it on. At this moment, Huang Xiaoyue had changed into a new set of clothes and put on her shoes. Jiang Feng also noticed that there were tear marks on her face.

"My phone has no signal, and the TV was just broadcasting news about the monsters. Now there's no signal at all. Has the whole world turned into a place full of monsters? Is it really true that no one will come to save us?" Huang Xiaoyue said softly, her head down.

Jiang Feng nodded, not caring whether Huang Xiaoyue could see him. He said, "I think monsters have appeared all over the world. And it's likely that these monsters are just the vanguard, the weakest ones. If we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves. We need to become stronger to survive. If you're worried about your family, then work hard to stay alive. Only then will you have a chance to see them again."

Huang Xiaoyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Mom and Dad are in Kyoto. I wonder how they are. I'm very worried about them."

"Take care of yourself first. Worrying too much about other things is a waste of energy." Jiang Feng said as he stood up and started searching the kitchen and bedroom.

The electricity hadn't completely cut off yet, so Jiang Feng boiled a pot of water. He also found some bread, instant noodles, cookies, and sausages. While waiting for the water to boil, Jiang Feng ate some of the bread and cookies.

"Come over and eat something. You need to keep your strength up to survive better. I'll go out again soon to get more crystals, and you should try to strengthen your body. Then we can go kill the monsters together." Jiang Feng said as he ate.

"Can I... can I really do it?" Huang Xiaoyue asked uncertainly.

"Show the courage you had when you ambushed me. You can definitely do it." Jiang Feng said jokingly.

Although Huang Xiaoyue was a young girl, when Jiang Feng came in, she found an opportunity to decisively ambush him. She had also changed her clothes while Jiang Feng was away. Jiang Feng could tell that this girl wasn't as weak as she appeared.

Although he had lost a lot of blood, with the help of the yuan crystal, he still needed food to replenish his strength. After eating a lot of bread and instant noodles, Jiang Feng prepared to go out again.

"Besides me, don't open the door for anyone. If I don't come back, find a way to survive on your own. I think in a few days, the military will organize an evacuation." Jiang Feng said as he approached the door.

Huang Xiaoyue nodded without saying a word. After checking through the peephole, Jiang Feng opened the door and went out.

On this floor, apart from Huang Xiaoyue's home, only one other door was closed. There was no sound coming from inside, and it was unclear if anyone was there.

The doors of the other homes were all open, and there were bloodstains everywhere inside. After checking each one, Jiang Feng didn't find any lizardmen. He then went to the elevator.

The elevator had stopped on the second floor, and Jiang Feng didn't plan to use it. After confirming that the elevator wouldn't come up, he headed towards the stairs.

Actually, the rooftop was Jiang Feng's real target. When he foresaw the future, besides experiencing his life for the next few years, his mind also gained some additional information. Using this information, Jiang Feng knew that there was a chance to obtain a good weapon on the rooftop. However, he wasn't sure about the level of danger there yet. He needed to become stronger before going up.

Jiang Feng, who had already strengthened his body to twice that of an ordinary person, looked down the stairs and slowly descended. When he reached the fifth floor, he didn't hear any sounds. After searching the fifth floor, he found neither living people nor lizardmen. He then went to the fourth floor.

He had only walked halfway down the stairs when a lizardman rushed up from the fourth floor. The lizardman was very fast and was soon in front of Jiang Feng.

As the lizardman ran over, Jiang Feng used his height advantage to swing his ice axe and strike the lizardman's head. The lizardman didn't even have a chance to touch Jiang Feng's legs before its head was pierced.

After killing the lizardman, Jiang Feng didn't move. He had just pulled out his ice axe when another lizardman ran up.

He kicked the lizardman in front of him, causing it to roll down the stairs and block the path of the approaching lizardman. Jiang Feng then descended two steps and used his ice axe to pierce the lizardman's head again. He then listened carefully. After waiting for over ten seconds without hearing any sound, Jiang Feng began to extract the yuan crystal from the lizardman.

Calm judgment, seizing the right moment to strike, and fully utilizing the terrain's advantages were key to Jiang Feng's success in killing the lizardmen. If he had to fight them face-to-face, his chances of winning would be slim. As before, he was always seriously injured before he could kill a lizardman.

Although lizardmen were much stronger than ordinary humans, their brains weren't very smart, and their reactions were slow. If everyone could remain calm and seize the right moment to deal with them, many people would likely survive.

However, reality often doesn't match our expectations. If Jiang Feng hadn't had the experience of foreseeing the future, he wouldn't be so calm. Not to mention others, especially those who had seen even more terrifying monsters.

After collecting two yuan crystals, Jiang Feng continued to the fourth floor. He thought that with four more yuan crystals, he would have a chance to strengthen himself to the Black Iron Zero stage. At that point, dealing with these lizardmen would be much easier.

The hallway on the fourth floor was covered in blood, and the walls were stained. As soon as Jiang Feng entered the hallway, he heard a sound from one of the rooms. He stopped and listened. Suddenly, a door three meters in front of him was knocked open, and a man, holding a lizardman, flew out.

The man hit the wall and spat blood. The lizardman on top of him was motionless, as if dead. At this moment, the man saw Jiang Feng, but he couldn't speak.

Just as this scene unfolded, a sound came from the room the man had flown out of. It sounded like a lizardman was running out. Jiang Feng quickly moved forward and stood against the wall, ready to act before the lizardman could emerge.

A lizardman rushed out of the room, heading straight for the man sitting against the wall. The man couldn't move and could only watch with his fading eyes as the lizardman pounced. At this moment, Jiang Feng suddenly struck. As the lizardman was about to bite the man, Jiang Feng's ice axe pierced its head.

Jiang Feng pulled out the ice axe and moved the lizardman's body aside. He then struck the head of the lizardman on top of the man. When he pushed the lizardman off, he saw that the man had stabbed the lizardman's heart with a knife.

Without checking if the man was alive, Jiang Feng ran into the room. Seeing two more bodies inside, he realized that three people had fought against two lizardmen.

After confirming that the room and hallway were safe, Jiang Feng returned to the man's side. Looking at the man, Jiang Feng knew he was close to death.

He pressed his hand on the lizardman's body and extracted a yuan crystal. He then forced the man's mouth open and pushed the yuan crystal down his throat. He then went to the other lizardman's body to extract another yuan crystal.

Just as he put the extracted yuan crystal into his waist bag, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairs. The sound was clearly not human. Jiang Feng's nerves were on edge. Without caring what was about to appear, he grabbed the man's shoulder and threw him into the room.

With strength twice that of an ordinary person, throwing a person a few meters was manageable, especially in a crisis, where the burst of strength was even easier to achieve.

Just as Jiang Feng was about to enter the room, a figure appeared at the stairs. It was another lizardman, but taller and more muscular than the ones he had seen before. This lizardman also held a knife.

"Lizardman elite, how unlucky, to encounter an elite so soon." Jiang Feng thought, surprised. He began to back away as the lizardman elite charged towards him.
