“What the hell! Why is this building so moldy?”

“Hiss!” Christina’s whiskers twitched, and she tried to persuade him. “Zhou Bai! This house looks completely off. Let’s not go inside!”

Zhou Bai didn’t say anything. He just continued walking. As he walked, he said in his mind, What are you afraid of? The two of us have more than 300 points of Primordial Spirit Value combined. With my defense and your offense, if we meet another mutant like the old man or Sakurako, we’ll win them easily.

With Zhou Bai’s footsteps, creaking came from the floor. He looked down and found that all the flooring in this building was wooden. Because of the mold and dampness, the floorboards all stuck up.

Every step he took made creaking sounds, echoing in the darkness. Zhou Bai walked and inspected this building,.

This building was different from the previous building.

Zhou Bai manipulated the crystal to float into the rooms. He could see that the wooden beds, desks, chairs, and even closets were still present in the rooms, but they were all empty and looked uninhabited. They were also all moldy. Black mildew was everywhere.

Drip.

Zhou Bai looked up and found the ceiling leaking. Drops of water gathered on the ceiling. In the end, they either dropped to the ground or streamed down the wall.

“Why is there so much water?” Zhou Bai frowned. Donghua Tao Academy was 1,500 meters above Donghua City. The sky and ground around it were all man-made. Theoretically, it wouldn’t rain in any season.

Then where did this water come from?

Zhou Bai walked up floor by floor. The light from the crystal illuminated every room, but he found no other abnormalities. Looking at Christina, who shut her eyes and curled up in his mind, he said helplessly, “All right, aside from being a little damp, there’s nothing wrong with this building. What are you afraid of?”

Christina said, “It’s too dark in here!”

“You’re a cat. Why are you afraid of the dark?”

He walked back down the stairs. Zhou Bai teased Christina in his mind. Seeing how the dumb cat was trembling from fear, he couldn’t help chuckling to himself.

They exited building five, and Zhou Bai entered building four.

From the exterior, building four was already densely covered in ivy. Zhou Bai walked inside and found that some of the walls already had cracks where vines creeped out.

Zhou Bai looked toward the first room. He found the door closed.

He tried to push the door, then heard a thump. He had pushed the entire door to the floor.

Dense shadows in the room were exposed. They looked like thousands of hands that reached toward Zhou Bai.

When he saw this, Zhou Bai was shocked too. He immediately covered himself in primordial spirit power.

But the next moment, he let out a sigh of relief. The things that looked like thousands of hands reaching towards him weren’t actual hands. They were countless leaves that grew out of the cracks in the wall. They filled the entire room. If not for the fact that the door was closed, they would probably have grown into the hallway.

“They’re growing so quickly.”

Zhou Bai glanced around and didn’t find anything, then he walked toward the next room.

He found building four was different from the damp building five. There was still furniture in the rooms in building five. Most of it hadn’t been moved out.

Building four not only had furniture, but Zhou Bai also found that there were leftover tattered bedsheets, ragged clothes, even some old hangers, cups, and such.Read the next chapter on our novelhall.com

It looked like people left a lot of trash behind while moving.
