Kingdom of Corrosion

Maya was in the Triumph Building, which counted as a landmark building in the southern district. It integrated gourmet food, supermarket, hotel, karaoke, foot massage, sauna, amusement park, cinema, and pet hospital facilities. Every floor covered an area of more than three thousand square meters. Among them, the most famous was the Xialma Supermarket on the 7th, 8th, and 9th floors which, without any exaggeration, sold almost all legal items, including houses. Lin Wu spotted the Triumph Building from five kilometers away.

The South City District wasn’t heavily impacted by floods due to its higher elevation. The floodwaters had flowed back into Day After Tomorrow City from West City, and although South City had also been inundated, it wasn’t hit by aggressive flooding. The neat rows of cars on the road indicated that the water levels in South City weren’t high enough to float the vehicles away. However, the sediment brought by the floodwaters was still significant, covering the cars with a layer of dirt, with some ground areas having mud as deep as ten centimeters.

The floodwaters may not have swept the cars away, but they did wash away the zombies, which were far less dense in this area—much less so than during the intense periods in Left County. Lin Wu crouched low and used the cars for cover as he checked out a few of them, discovering that water had accumulated inside, which ruled out his idea of using the cars as a means of transportation.

Lin Wu crossed the road and leaned against the perimeter wall of a residential compound, the stickiness of the mud underfoot bothering him enough to re-tie his shoelaces tightly. As Lin Wu stood up, he was momentarily dazzled by the sunlight. Looking up, he saw someone in the 32nd-floor apartment of the compound using a mirror to flash light in his direction.

It was two women and a man who were survivors. They became rather excited when they spotted another human and waved eagerly. Lin Wu waved back in response. The mirror flashed again at Lin Wu, then the light shifted and began to move in front of him, pointing towards a roundabout parking lot one kilometer away.

Put simply, it meant there was a parking structure within the roundabout, which had three levels. It seemed the survivors were trying to tell Lin Wu that there was either something terrible in the parking structure or other survivors were inside. Perhaps the two were one and the same because nowadays, survivors can be the most terrifying of all.
