In the Apocalypse, After Hoarding Supplies, They Teamed Up with a Powerful Figure and Went on a Killing Spree

44: Chapter 44 Nighttime Investigation of the Underwater Warehouse SupermarketShe just didn’t know if these few people were worth such a great sacrifice from Xiao Sinian.

Qi Yin’s memory and Jiang Yao’s prediction were both correct; after the heavy rain fell for three days and nights, the sky over Kyoto changed.

The signal on the television was intermittent, likely due to the weather’s influence.

All they knew was that the state was broadcasting that the current situation would persist for over half a month, or even longer.

This was hard for those who had squandered their supplies during the brief pause in the blood rain a few days ago, and they frequently cursed the government’s inaction.

The scenes of the city transmitted via video made their scalps tingle.

The streets in the low-lying areas were now completely submerged.

Floating trash, abandoned vehicles, and various unidentifiable debris—even animal carcasses—could be seen everywhere.

In some lower-lying residential buildings, the water level had already reached the middle of the second floor.

Many desperate people tried to escape using wooden boards and plastic basins, but such actions seemed highly ill-advised under the impact of the swift currents and unknown floating objects.

More people chose to huddle together indoors, but their trembling bodies betrayed their unease.

The government deployed a large number of personnel to keep the drainage systems running as much as possible, but it was a drop in the bucket.

Qi Yin said coldly, ”The water level is rising much faster than I imagined.”

At this rate, in one more day at most, their first target point would soon be completely submerged.

That would be the best opportunity to make a move.

In the early hours of the next day, the heavy rain continued, its intensity increasing rather than decreasing, and visibility was very low.

The group put on their gear and arrived at the nearest water surface on the street.

Qi Yin took out two modified Assault boats, and they soon merged into the vast watery world.

Qi Yin, Chen Quan, and Wen Yang were in the first boat, primarily responsible for commanding and clearing the path, while Lu Jinwen, Xu Yongning, and Wang Tianyu were in the second boat for lookout and support.

The engine noise from their Assault boats was very low; unless someone was paying close attention, it basically wouldn’t attract notice.

Qi Yin stood at the bow, using her Spiritual power to sense any possible energy reactions nearby.

Unsurprisingly, no zombies were found, only a few scattered survivors.

Lu Jinwen’s gentle voice rang out at this moment: ”Steer to the left, bypass that sunken bus.”

The two Assault boats nimbly carved an arc, bypassing the obstacle she had spotted.

The closer they got to the city center, the swifter the current became, and the more obstacles there were.

Chen Quan, Wen Yang, and Xu Yongning had to fire crossbow bolts to pull the obstacles aside so the Assault boats could pass.

As the searchlight beam swept across, several figures could be seen in the murky water, reaching out to them.

They weakly muttered, ”Help, save us!”

Lu Jinwen alerted Qi Yin, ”Sister, what should we do?”

”Ignore them, speed up!”

Judging by the wounds on those two and the corpses strewn across the boards next to them, they clearly weren’t good people.

The Assault boats sped straight past the two, pushing through the waves and leaving them behind.

Finally, the partially submerged sign of the large Warehouse Supermarket appeared in their field of vision.

Qi Yin glanced at the electronic map; the entrance to the underground warehouse was theoretically near a platform on the side and rear.

As they approached the target, they found the current had calmed slightly.

However, various packaging bags and mannequins from the supermarket floated on the water, making it look even more chaotic.

”This is it.”

Chen Quan parked the Assault boat next to a relatively hidden, massive ventilation duct.

This was also the entrance they were looking for.

Qi Yin stored the Assault boats into her space and made a gesture. Together with Chen Quan, she checked the diving equipment and weapons, then gave an ”OK” sign to Lu Jinwen and the others.

Everyone took a deep breath together and silently slipped into the cold, murky water.

The sound of the heavy rain was cut off by the water’s surface; the subtle sound of the current brushing against their wetsuits and their own amplified breathing echoed in their ears.
