Chapter 333 - 161 The Singing Woman

"There are a lot of mutant fish in the flood. We could try to make sauerkraut fish with them later."

This shop was searched thoroughly, but nothing was found.

After that, the two quickened their pace, calling out at the store entrance. When no one responded, they immediately left.

"Mr. Liang, there’s a safe passage here with water stains and footprints!"

Gu Feng suddenly found the safe passage and quickly shouted.

Liang Yuan hurried over and took out a flashlight to illuminate the corridor.

They saw a large amount of water and many wet footprints in the corridor.

"These must be everyone’s footprints. They must have gone upstairs."

Liang Yuan immediately said, "Let’s go up and take a look."

The two quickly followed the footprints and water stains, heading upstairs at speed.

After climbing three floors, they saw some footprints leading to the outer corridor while some continued upwards.

Liang Yuan stopped and said, "Let’s see if there’s anyone on this floor first."

Gu Feng quickly nodded, and the two immediately walked towards the corridor.

Just as they reached the corridor entrance, they heard someone talking.

"Old Lu, where’s your daughter? Did you find her?"

"Found her, found her, thanks to Miss Dong’s help. Otherwise, Yu Yan wouldn’t have spoken. I was really worried."

"It’s good that you found her, really good. I wonder how Mr. Liang is."

"Mr. Liang seems to be dealing with that mutant octopus. He didn’t come in."

"What? That... that won’t be a problem, right?"

"Sigh, I said we shouldn’t have left. It would have been fine staying in the building."

"What’s the point of saying this now? If it weren’t for the people in Henglong Building attracting the octopus, we wouldn’t have been attacked by it. This is their fault, not Mr. Liang’s."

"Exactly. Mr. Liang went to deal with the octopus to save everyone. With his skills, it would be easy for him to escape back here."

"It might not necessarily be for us..."

These people outside were whispering, with some regretting having left with Liang Yuan.

However, most of them remembered Liang Yuan’s goodness, rebuking and defending him.

Those who chose to leave with Liang Yuan naturally trusted him more.

Only a few reluctantly left the building because their husbands or sons firmly wanted to.

They were naturally resentful of the current situation.

Of course, these were only a minority.

Liang Yuan heard this and pushed open the door to the safe passage.

"Squeak—"

The door made a squeaking sound as Liang Yuan stepped out with Gu Feng.

His spiritual power swept through the surroundings, seeing about a dozen people gathered here on this floor.

They were all ordinary people, and Liang Yuan recognized a few familiar faces.

Among them were Lu Dayou and his daughter Lu Yuyan.

"Were you all talking about me?"

He spoke in a low voice, startling everyone, who quickly turned to look towards the staircase.

Lu Dayou saw Liang Yuan and couldn’t help but show joy on his face: "Mr. Liang, are you alright?"

Others also felt reassured upon seeing Liang Yuan, all coming forward to greet him.

"Oh, it’s really Mr. Liang. I said Mr. Liang is capable and would definitely be safe."

"Mr. Liang, how did you get back? What about the octopus monster?"

"Mr. Liang, you’re back. Captain Zhao Kai and Captain Ding Yan were all very worried."

Several people were hiding their expressions and didn’t dare look at Liang Yuan, even retreating into the crowd.

These were the people who had just complained.

Liang Yuan just glanced at them, causing their faces to pale and lower their heads, not daring to look at him.

He then said, "Thank you all for your concern. I’m fine. The octopus monster has escaped. What happened to Zhao Kai and Ding Yan? Why did you split up?"

Lu Dayou immediately said, "Mr. Liang, Captain Zhao Kai and the others went upstairs to find the person who killed someone. Everyone was very angry and went to settle accounts with him."

"Many people here choked on water, and some elders couldn’t climb, so they stayed here to rest temporarily."

Liang Yuan understood and said, "You all continue to rest. I’ll go upstairs to check."

Lu Dayou immediately said, "Mr. Liang, I’m already fine. I’ll go with you."

As he spoke, he pulled his daughter Lu Yuyan along.

Liang Yuan glanced at him and Lu Yuyan, saying, "You stay and take care of your daughter. Don’t worry about the situation upstairs."

Lu Dayou shook his head: "I’ll go with you. Last time, that little bastard Sun Xu bullied my daughter, and you helped me. I must repay you."

Liang Yuan was helpless. This man was sometimes too stubborn. He could only nod and say, "Then follow us."

Saying that, he turned quickly to go upstairs with Gu Feng.

Gu Feng couldn’t help but say, "Brother Liang, the killer in Henglong Building definitely isn’t a good person. He’s deliberately killing people to attract mutant creatures, forcing us inside. This won’t end well."

Liang Yuan nodded and said in a low voice, "So we need to be careful. Gu Feng, how is your superpower recovery?"

"I’m almost there." Gu Feng quickly replied.

"Cover us in your smoke. Let’s be cautious."

"Okay."

Gu Feng quickly opened his mouth and blew out a white mist.

This mist covered the four of them, making even spiritual power unable to detect them.

Liang Yuan turned off the flashlight, and the group quickly went upstairs.

After climbing less than four floors, they heard chanting sounds from above.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but pause his steps.

Gu Feng couldn’t help but say, "What is that sound..."

"Shh—"

Liang Yuan made a shushing gesture. The sound was like singing, like music, seeming both real and unreal.

Liang Yuan could feel there was spiritual power contained in the sound!
