Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 150 - Night Exploration of the Sky Hotel 01

Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Night Exploration of the Sky Hotel 01

Jiang Yan smiled without comment, “You could say that.”

“Can this thing really support the weight of an adult? With the exterior walls all being wet, won’t there be a problem with adhesion?” Ye Qing’s points of concern were clearly different from Sun Jingtao’s.

Jiang Yan picked up one of the claws and explained, “Believe it or not, any single finger here can hang a weight of 100 kilograms.”

The three of them were shocked and openly doubtful, not even bothering to hide it: “That’s impossible?!”

“Do you know what organism in the natural world has the strongest adhesion?” Thinking that they could only act at night and currently had plenty of time, Jiang Yan took the opportunity to ask an additional question.

“Gecko,” Zhao Pengfei answered quickly.

...

Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yan shook her head, “No, it’s actually the ivy.”

“Plants???” They nearly dropped their jaws in astonishment.

“The mature ivy’s suckers can withstand adhesive forces 112 times that of a gecko’s feet. Converted, a mature ivy can bear a maximum tensile force that’s 2.8 million times its own weight.

These two claws are originally modeled after the ivy to create biomimetic palms, so their adhesion and load-bearing abilities are naturally not to be underestimated. Moreover, there are additional power devices on the back.”

Jiang Yan concluded and patted the object that looked like a turtle shell.

Despite sounding full of technological wonders, Ye Qing was still a bit worried:

“Jiang Yan, climbing walls is somewhat dangerous, since this device is so good at bearing weight, why don’t I climb?”

Given that there was water everywhere outside, if one truly fell, at worst it would result in serious injury.

But if they were noticed by the opposition, getting shot into a sieve was also a possibility.

Besides, sneaking in from the upper floors was obviously much more dangerous than from below.

“No need,” Jiang Yan refused without even thinking.

“…” Ye Qing was stunned that she refused so bluntly, his gaze fixed for a second.

But he couldn’t say much more.

To keep talking would only make himself seem nagging.

Jiang Yan wasn’t unaware of Ye Qing’s concerns.

However, she had Space, Hua Bao, weapons, a map—she naturally had nothing to fear.

“Alright, I trust in Jiang Yan’s capabilities, let’s adjust our plan accordingly,” Sun Jingtao from the side said.

“Mhm,” everyone nodded.

The four quickly adjusted their plan.

And it wasn’t to act simultaneously anymore, but to wait until Jiang Yan had climbed the wall for a while, estimating that she had probably scouted enough from above, then they would act.

This way, they could keep guard for Jiang Yan below.

If she unfortunately fell down, they could immediately go rescue her.

As for later, they could help divert some of the enemies’ firepower and attention.

Regarding the time to strike, they chose after one o’clock in the morning.

At that time, everyone would be asleep or drowsy, which would be when defenses were at their weakest.

Unable to withstand the concerns of the three, Jiang Yan eventually put on the climbing gadget and demonstrated it for everyone on the spot.

Seeing her hang securely with one hand from the ceiling, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Time unknowingly reached the evening.

The group didn’t turn on any lights.

After a simple meal, aside from using the telescope to check the situation in the building opposite, they spent the rest of the time mentally preparing for all the possible scenarios.

The room was very cold and they were all somewhat damp, making it obviously colder.

But fearing they would attract attention, they dared not start a fire for warmth.

Later, Sun Jingtao simply took Ye Qing next door to practice military boxing to warm up.

Only Zhao Pengfei and Jiang Yan remained in the small room.

“Ah, who knows when this rain will stop…” Zhao Pengfei said to himself with a worried glance outside.

What he was actually thinking was about the whereabouts of his son.

But he didn’t say it out loud.

Jiang Yan, who was sitting with her eyes closed and resting, heard his words and furrowed her brow slightly:

Many of the things that had happened in this lifetime were no longer the same as those she had experienced in her last lifetime.

Hopefully, she wouldn’t encounter such bizarre events again.

Time quickly moved to one o’clock at night.

Ye Qing first looked across with the telescope.

The building was pitch black.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Fully armed and carrying an inflatable boat, they moved stealthily to the outside of the building.

“Jiang Yan, you must be careful later, and if you find anything wrong, come back immediately,” the three of them still couldn’t help but repeatedly remind her.

Jiang Yan nodded.

The pouring rain continued relentlessly, providing them some cover.

It was pitch dark outside, not a single light in sight.

However, all of them had the night vision glasses given by Jiang Yan, allowing them to proceed without any trouble.

Still, for safety’s sake, they paddled very slowly.

Along the way, the inflatable boat seemed to bump into something from time to time, making a “thud thud” muffled sound.

Zhao Pengfei, driven by curiosity, leaned down to take a look, only to see a decaying pale face.

The key was that the face’s eyes were gone, its mouth wide open, anything but ordinary in its hideousness.

Zhao Pengfei felt a chill run down his back, nearly losing half his soul from fright.

Luckily, he had a strong heart and managed to keep quiet without crying out.

“Why are there corpses all around us?!” Zhao Pengfei said and then shuddered retrospectively.

He silently prayed that his son wasn’t among them.

The others also saw and collectively gasped.

The water was littered with numerous nude corpses in various stages of decay.

Most were women and children, along with a few men.

Without exception, either their eyes were gone, or areas like their stomachs and chests had been cut open.

Some even had intestines and organs floating outside.

On some of the bodies, there were faintly visible black Mutated Leeches.

This area was just next to another residential building, creating a blind spot in their view.

It wasn’t visible through the telescope during the day.

“The organs must have been taken,” Sun Jingtao said, his heart sinking. “Live cultivation, missing organs… What on earth are these people doing?”

Although this indicated they hadn’t found the wrong place, Ye Qing felt a bad premonition bubbling inside him.

“Jiang Yan, maybe you shouldn’t go up,” he suggested.

They had come to kill and rescue, not to lose their lives.

“It’s okay,” Jiang Yan shook her head, already standing up.

As they spoke, the inflatable boat had reached the Space Air Hotel building.

They approached from the outside, deliberately avoiding the entrance with berthed pleasure boats.

At this moment, the water level had reached around the twenty-second or twenty-third floor.

Jiang Yan raised her hand and climbed up the wall like a gecko wearing a turtle shell.

The rest in the inflatable boat, while vigilant of their surroundings, looked up anxiously.

Hua Bao, meanwhile, pulled up the hotel’s external surveillance and HVAC system layout, informing her of the exact direction to climb.

In less than three minutes, Jiang Yan had successfully scaled to the thirtieth floor.
