Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

Five minutes later.

The stairwell on the 29rd floor.

Lu Fan lowered the brim of his hat and pushed open the door.

"Brother Han is back so early! Where is the others?" The two guards quickly greeted him.

Lu Fan deliberately made his voice hoarse: "The three of them... suddenly got excited and said they wanted to have some fun before coming up."

"Want to have some fun?"

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, and the image of Zhou Xiaoli, who weighed several hundred pounds, flashed through his mind. He immediately felt a chill and his stomach churned.

"Holy crap... these guys have really weird tastes! Aren't they afraid of getting sat on to death!"

He gagged, then quickly waved his hand, "Alright! Brother Han, you go upstairs first, Brother Huo is urging us to get together!"

Lu Fan lowered his head and slipped inside, heading straight for the 30th floor.

As soon as I stepped onto the carpet on the 30th floor, I saw two rows of people standing in the spacious lobby, about twenty in total, each holding a steel pipe or a watermelon knife.

Lu Fan stood calmly at the end of the line, observing his surroundings.

If you try to rob it by force, the seven bullets in this pistol are simply not enough.

At this moment, Li Huo walked over with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Ahem! Listen up, everyone!"

"You are all elites handpicked by me and General Manager Peng! Tonight's mission is singular—eliminate all those useless, unsightly people who just eat and do no work!!"

"Once we pull off this job, the ship will arrive in five days, and we can go with General Peng to Xihuan Mountain for a feast!"

"yes!!!"

A low, excited growl erupted from the crowd, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Li Huo nodded in satisfaction, then walked straight to Lu Fan at the end of the line.

Hmm? Did they recognize me?

Lu Fan's muscles were tense, and his hands behind his back were in a loose clenching position.

If Li Huo makes any dangerous move, he will instantly grab his gun and shoot the leader dead!

The next second!

Li Huo sighed, then patted Lu Fan's shoulder heavily, a fake smile on his face.

"Xiao Han, you're the person I value most! You'll be the team leader for tonight's mission!"

Lu Fan: "???"

He almost lost his composure.

Seriously, buddy? I just came here to find some materials.

You're really messing with people's mentality!

Sensing Li Huo's unquestionable tone, Lu Fan could only grit his teeth, lower his hat brim, and nod.

"Why are you pulling your hat down so low?" Li Huo thought he was trembling, so he patted him on the shoulder again and leaned closer to threaten, "Don't try anything funny! I'm the boss, I tell you what to do!"

He straightened up and resumed his fake smile.

"As elites of the security company, let's show our spirit and stand tall! I believe in you!"

After saying that, Li Huo turned around, released his grip, and gave instructions to the others.

"Dismissed for rest and reorganization. We'll depart immediately once night falls!"

Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could take the opportunity to slip away.

As a result, Li Huo walked ahead and waved his hand, calling out, "Let's go, Xiao Han! President Peng wants to see us! Remember, speak less and nod more!"

Lu Fan wanted to curse at this moment.

But in order not to give himself away, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Li Huo into President Peng's office.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

With his back to the two men, President Peng sat in a leather boss's chair, a cigar between his fingers, staring intently at the sea outside the window.

"Please sit down!"

Li Huo patted Lu Fan on the shoulder and sat down on the sofa.

Mr. Peng casually pulled two Dove chocolates from his pocket, tossed them behind him, and they landed on the coffee table with a crisp sound.

"Try it! Even dogs wouldn't eat this stuff before, but now it's more expensive than gold bars!"

Without hesitation, Li Huo tore open the packaging and stuffed it into his mouth, saying indistinctly, "President Peng, just tell me what's on your mind!"

President Peng slowly turned around.

As darkness fell, the large, imposing figure was backlit and hidden in the shadows.

"I have some news for you!"

General Peng flicked his cigarette ash and said in a low voice, "We just received a call from Xihuan Mountain saying that several highly aggressive mutated fish have recently appeared in the sea. For future safety reasons, all the slow-moving large ships have been replaced with speedboats, so boarding slots are limited!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Shouldn't the mutated fish appear after six days?

Could it be that this thing, like last night's torrential rain, came early?

While pondering.

General Peng held up three rough fingers, interrupting Lu Fan's thoughts: "We only have three tickets left!"

Li Huo paused in his chewing of chocolate.

"Originally, I wanted to take more brothers with me, but now..." General Peng sighed, his gaze sweeping over the two men, "You two are my most capable lieutenants, these positions are definitely for you!"

"Thank you, General Manager Peng!" Li Huo's eyes were filled with fervor.

"Oh! Thank you, Mr. Peng..." Lu Fan replied, pulling his hat down low.

"We have too many people here. If the ship arrives, it will definitely cause chaos!" General Peng's tone suddenly turned cold. "General Xu and General Niu's groups are just a burden now! When we make our move tonight, I don't want to see them still breathing tomorrow."

"Don't worry, General Peng!" Li Huo suddenly stood up, making a throat-slitting gesture. "If the riots break out tonight, I'll take Xiao Han and deal with them!"

"Okay! Very good! Xiao Han, go outside and rest for a bit. Li Huo and I have some private matters to discuss!"

Lu Fan was more than happy to agree, but fearing exposure, he quickly nodded, lowered his hat brim, and retreated.

The moment the door closed.

General Peng beckoned Li Huo closer and lowered his voice: "Actually, there are only two tickets."

Li Huo's pupils contracted.

"Xiao Han is loyal, but he's too stubborn and passive! Taking him along is less useful than taking two cases of canned goods!" General Peng patted Li Huo on the shoulder. "After dealing with General Xu and the others, get rid of Xiao Han too! I don't want any unexpected changes!"

Li Huo paused for a second, then revealed a cruel smile: "President Peng, great minds think alike! I've disliked him for a long time! Don't worry, everything will be taken care of after tonight!"

"You're truly my capable assistant! Go ahead, I have high hopes for you!"

After the office door was closed.

President Peng took a deep breath and turned back to face the sea.

As he watched the sun about to sink below the horizon and the dark clouds churning in the sky, he exhaled a puff of smoke and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Li Huo, Li Huo, what a good dog."

"Unfortunately, there's only ever one ticket!"

"I will step on your heads to build a new commercial empire in Xihuan Mountain. You bunch of violent brutes are not worth my wasting any more resources! Only if I survive will I be the greatest preserver of human civilization."

……

Half an hour later, night fell.

There was no electricity in the office building, and in several corners of the lobby were tin oil drums, inside which were burning dismantled table legs and planks.

The flickering firelight barely illuminated the hall in a dim, hazy glow.

Using the crackling, flickering firelight, Lu Fan finally figured out the location of the supplies.

That used to be the finance office, and six burly men stood at the door.

Judging from their positions, it must be that General Manager Peng, General Manager Xu, and General Manager Niu's men are keeping an eye on each other, and no one can get an extra bottle of water.

Through the large gap in the doorway, Lu Fan could vaguely see the supplies piled up inside, and in the corner were several dismantled commercial water purifiers.

"Persistence pays off! We finally found it!"

Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, pondering how to make his move, when suddenly a large hand slapped heavily on his shoulder.

"Xiao Han, what are you looking at?!"
