“This place has suddenly fallen silent. There isn’t a single zombie near the entire building. This means that there is a big guy here. Be careful,” Su Shanshan reminded Gu Zhao.

The big guy she was talking about was probably a level-four zombie or higher.

Gu Zhao nodded calmly and stood vigilantly behind her, observing the surroundings.

The two of them took a deep breath and stepped into the department store.

The first floor was the supermarket area. The shelves inside were topsy-turvy, and the little food left was smeared with blackish red blood. It was hard to tell if the blood belonged to a zombie or a human.

The dried blood meant that no one had been to this place for a long time. Su Shanshan gripped the Tang sword in her hand tightly and walked slowly to the second floor. At this time, there was no supply of electrical power to the elevator, and they had to walk.

On the stairs to the second floor, a black shadow suddenly appeared in a whirlwind. Su Shanshan was forced to take a step back quickly. The whirlwind hit the wall and left a deep mark.

As one could imagine, if the black shadow had landed on Su Shanshan, she would have been decapitated.

Gu Zhao pulled her behind him, raised a wind blade in his hand, and was the first to attack. Su Shanshan followed behind him, similarly alert. That black shadow was too fast. It should be a level-three zombie.

The shadow seemed to have disappeared. The two of them looked at each other and chose to continue walking up. Their goal was the staircase from the second floor to the third floor, but to reach the staircase, they had to go around a corner. It was a blind spot. Once they walked over there, they would not be able to see their surroundings. If there was danger, it would be difficult to avoid it.

Su Shanshan suddenly grabbed Gu Zhao, who was in front, and casually picked up a box beside her and threw it at the corner. As expected, a black shadow rushed toward the box. When it realized that it had been tricked, it turned around angrily.

It was only then that Su Shanshan saw its full features. It was a large black dog about half the height of a man. Its fur was glossy and black, its eyes had mutated to green, and there was a silver stripe between its eyebrows that looked like lightning.

This was a mutant animal. Unlike zombie animals, they were conscious, just like superpowered humans.

The black dog paced guardedly, staring at them with its green eyes, as if it was assessing the level of danger.

Su Shanshan tried to swing an ice blade at it. The black dog dodged it quickly and charged at them. It was blocked by an ice wall. The black dog spat out a whirlwind from its mouth. It did not break when it hit the ice wall, but it made a crack in it.

Su Shanshan raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the dog was a level-two mutant, but she did not let her guard down. A level-two mutant animal was equivalent to a human level-three superpower.

The black dog roared angrily and spat out another wind blade, shattering the ice wall. Su Shanshan instantly reacted and rolled over to avoid the second attack. The black dog was already in front of them. Gu Zhao fired the wind blade in his hand, and the black dog dodged it easily. This made it even angrier, and it opened its mouth at Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao pursed his lips tightly. Dealing with a mutant dog comparable to a human with a level-three superpower was still quite taxing on him. Su Shanshan stepped forward to help him restrain the mutant dog. The two of them did not want to kill it. They tied it to a corner and were ready to head upstairs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped onto the stairs, the mutant dog howled anxiously and kept struggling, ignoring the ropes tied so tightly around its body that it was almost bleeding.

The two of them did not see this scene and assumed that it was angry at losing its prey. They went to the third floor, even more guarded now. A zombie dog was far from being able to control a department store. There must be something more dangerous lurking there.

Su Shanshan was standing in the middle of the third floor. The surroundings were quiet. There were no zombies or mutant animals as they had imagined. This was strange. Su Shanshan signaled Gu Zhao to be cautious before walking straight to the top floor.. After going up a long staircase, they came to an iron fence blocking their way.
