Chapter 378: Chapter 376: Prison Office Building 1

“Someone?!” Hearing Hua Bao’s words, Jiang Yan instantly snapped out of her drowsiness.

She grabbed a pair of night vision goggles and donned a protective mask before leaving the space with her backpack on.

The surroundings were dark, the piercing cold wind howled, and tiny black snowflakes danced in the air.

Looking into the distance, the air seemed to be filled with a thin layer of black fog.

“Here, Mom, look over there.” Hua Bao lifted a vine, and a small leaf pointed like a finger toward the northeast side of Yunding Tower.

Jiang Yan took out her night vision telescope and looked in the direction it pointed, instantly inhaling a breath of cold air:

Not far away in the snowy field, there were seventeen or eighteen tall figures lined up in a squad, marching toward Yunding Tower in an orderly fashion.

“These people, they came from the outside?” Jiang Yan was somewhat puzzled. As soon as she asked, she heard Hua Bao continue, “Mom, these people, they seem to have come out from the ground in front of us.”

If it weren’t for their sudden emergence “from the ground,” Hua Bao would have noticed them sooner.

In the “whooshing” sound of the wind, Jiang Yan faintly heard the faint sound of a whistle.

Only then did she notice that there was one more person at the rear of the group.

A person not very tall but laden with equipment.

Jiang Yan’s back chilled immediately, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Although she knew there were no ghosts or gods, the scene she was witnessing was as eerie as the legendary corpse-driving, too bizarre.

And these tall figures, were they also Evolved People like Ye Qing?

The events that occurred after the apocalypse kept reshaping her understanding.

“Mom, should we go have a look?”

“Wait a bit longer.”

As Jiang Yan finished speaking, the group had already reached the edge of Yunding Tower, the short man striding forward quickly.

She didn’t know what he did to the tower, but a very small wooden door opened, and faint light spilled from inside.

Just as Jiang Yan wondered how those “giants” would enter, the sound of a whistle rose, and the giants fell forward, crawling through the small-sized door.

Soon, the short man at the rear also bent down and entered.

Faintly, sounds of tearing, shouting, and pounding could be heard.

After a while, the noise stopped, and the surroundings once again became quiet.

“Mom, do you think there could be many such giants inside?” Hua Bao wasn’t as anxious as before.

It had clearly noticed the strangeness of the building.

Although unsure whether there were snipers in the tower, it still crafted a transparent, intricate net with several spare vines to protect Jiang Yan from all sides.

Jiang Yan frowned, “I don’t know.”

They say curiosity killed the cat.

Should they go take a look?

She hesitated for a moment, then took out two handguns, one in each hand, and quickly walked toward the direction of Yunding Tower while crouching.

Although Jiang Yan walked lightly, her footsteps on the soft snow still made some scraping sounds.

Fortunately, the wind was strong at the moment, helping to temporarily cover her movements.

“Hua Bao, do you still remember where those people came from?”

“I remember, Mom, should we go there first?”

“Yeah.”

Under the guidance of Hua Bao, Jiang Yan quickly arrived at that area.

Looking at the scene in front of her, her pupils shocked for a second:

Beneath the layer of snow, a spiral, shrinking pit with a diameter of five meters revealed a rectangular opening more than one meter high at its base.

The opening resembled a thick rectangular pipe, and compared to the surrounding ice, it was very dark in color.

Jiang Yan paused.

With such dimensions, it was impossible for such tall people to walk inside.

Unless these people crawled through it.

Moreover, such a rudimentary pipe clearly lacked oxygen supply equipment.

Then those people–

Jiang Yan recalled the equipment on the short man and took a deep breath:

He was carrying oxygen equipment.

Then those giants, with nothing on their bodies…

Jiang Yan deeply terrified.

She looked toward the direction of Yunding Tower, “Hua Bao, go inside alone when we get to the tower and come back immediately if anything is wrong.”

After an upgrade, Hua Bao’s vine was more than thirty meters long.

With two vines spread out, plus the distance they could maintain from her, it was essentially enough to fully scout the ground level of Yunding Tower.

“Okay, Mom.” Hua Bao sniffed the aroma of gold floating in the air and couldn’t help but lick its fangs.
