The screams were like a signal; the tension that had been suppressed for five days finally rebounded, causing people to completely break down.

Even the most dignified person can no longer care about their image and starts crying and shouting, their voice filled with a hysterical sense that if they don't cry now, it will be too late.

The more noisy it was outside, the more irritable Shekh became; his intense frustration and restlessness almost materialized.

Shi Jinzhe's mental fortitude improved rapidly after spending a month and a half with her. He was no longer particularly nervous when faced with her unpleasant aura.

He took out antibacterial pills, ate one himself, and then fed another to Shekh.

The snake's tongue curled around the pill, which it swallowed. It was bitter and didn't taste good at all.

She gave Shi Jinzhe a sharp look, but unfortunately, she was blindfolded and it was dark, so Shi Jinzhe didn't receive it at all.

Someone ran past the door. Shekh walked to the door with a grim face. Just as he was about to break down the door, his hand was covered by another hand.

"There are still six days left in the dungeon. If you expose your true colors now, the trouble will be endless." Shi Jinzhe pulled her towards him and stood in front of her to open the door.

"You go first upstairs, I'll stay half a floor behind and slow down those people."

He had experienced Shekh's threat in the previous instance and understood what Shekh wanted to do. "I know you want to say kill them all, but those players can't all die yet. We'll need them in the last two days."

He let go of her and straightened the clothes for Shekh: "Your clothes and tail are so beautiful, don't get them dirty. Let them do the dirty and tiring work."

Sheh saw that Shi Jinzhe had placed his hand on the door panel, but instead of opening the door immediately, he kept looking at her and waiting for a reply.

After weighing the options, she reluctantly hummed in agreement.

The wooden planks were decisively pulled apart, leaving the tenth-floor lobby in a mess.

Looking around, it was as if the building had been robbed by bandits; the diseased green plants inside had been eaten away, leaving only yellowed, withered branches.

The doors of all the rooms were wide open, and the contents were scattered all over the floor. Someone with an oily face was running around, and his face was covered in red rashes, which made people feel physically uncomfortable.

People who still have the strength are a minority; most people are already listless and dazed, unable to even react when being searched.

The two, dressed impeccably, seemed out of place, especially Sheikh's protective dress, which, despite its simple design, appeared excessively glamorous to others.

The young man, whose face was covered in red rashes, rushed over as if he had found saviors when he saw the two of them come out.

At first, he was quite scared, but later he realized that they told him to stay home after he finished cleaning up the body, and that they really didn't care whether he lived or died, so he finally felt relieved.

"Big brother, big sister, are you leaving here? Please take me with you. I'll do anything."

Shekh was choked by the smell emanating from the young man and felt dizzy. He reached out and grabbed Shi Jin's broken arm, pressing his forehead against Shi Jin's shoulder to catch his breath.

She thinks that with the next molt and evolution, her sense of smell won't need to evolve anymore.

Compared to the fishy stench, the smell on this person was very similar to the smell when the zookeeper pushed the manure cart past her during a previous visit to the zoo.

Moreover, the stench of feces was mixed with the putrid smell of corpses that had been disposed of.

Shi Jinzhe's arm, which was being pinched by her, was throbbing with veins. He held his breath, grabbed Shehe's arm, and dragged her toward the stairwell door.

The young man didn't give up, taking it one step at a time, pleading, "Please, just take me in!"

Shi Jinzhe: "How many older brothers have you recognized now?"

Xu Mingsui, Scarface—he'd kill anyone he acknowledged; he didn't want to.

“You are the third one; the first two were killed by you.”

"Oh, do you know where Mr. Lan is?"

The young man thought it was a good idea, so he pretended to know and nodded. Shi Jinzhe noticed that his eyes were wandering, and he knew that Shi Jinzhe was just trying to trick him.

"I won't take you in, you can leave."

"No, please..."

"Time's running out, can't you just kill him already?" Shekh desperately needed some fresh air; his patience was wearing thin.

"I don't have hands." Shi Jinzhe let her see for herself. One of his arms was almost broken by her, and he was holding onto the other arm the whole time because he was afraid that walking too fast would hurt her.

"Then I'll do it."

Shekh stretched out his hand, and a thick, dark blue liquid dripped from his fingertips, instantly corroding a pit into the ground.

"...I...I'll take my leave now."

The young man saw that Sheikh's tone was aggressive and that he was definitely serious, so he turned around and ran away.

Shekh changed direction and placed her hand on the door. The dark blue liquid spread rapidly from her palm, corroding the protective door.

Other players who still had energy all followed this direction when they saw people moving around.

One of the groups consisted of a five-person team who were carrying the starving Mr. Lan towards them. One of the team members was a boy with a wolf's tail who used a speed boost to run as fast as he could to Shi Jinzhe and explain their purpose.

"You guys are very capable. Let's make a deal. We'll take care of Mr. Lan and his group. Would it be alright if you two helped clear the way?"

"You can clear the way, but you have to help me hold off the others so she can go first."

Shi Jinzhe knew without even thinking that as long as he and Sheh opened this path, those people would definitely follow.

Whether he says it or not, they all have to go down this road, so he might as well agree and have a few more laborers.

"Deal." The young man with the wolf tail readily agreed.

He had his companion bring Mr. Lan closer. "My name is Xiao Ji. This is my temporary team. Mr. Lan," he lowered his voice, "there are no signs of infection."

Shi Jin twirled the butterfly knife; this contained a lot of information, showing that Xiao Ji was quite sincere.

He blocked Shekh, and the protective door grew thinner and thinner, with all the players guarding the doorway eyeing him menacingly.

"Do you need my help?" Shekh was still missing the last bit of coating. This door could withstand the elements for several days; its thickness and hardness were not to be underestimated, and it would take a little longer than she had anticipated.

"It's okay, you can go first after you open it."

Few of these people actually dare to make a move; the intimidation from last time is still there, it's just a show of force.

The protective door opened, and several hairy arms eagerly reached out from inside. Shekh grabbed one arm, pulled and pushed, and knocked away the hairy monster blocking the way outside.

"If you can't handle it, use venomous fangs." With that, she walked through the doorway and into the stairwell.

Outside the door, besides the hairy monster that had squeezed itself into a deformed shape, there were also corrupted mutated animals.

All the hairy monsters' eyes were fixed on Shekh, their pupils following her every move in an extremely bizarre manner.

With six days left in the instance, the Azure Building could no longer be destroyed. Shekh abandoned using his eyes and broke through using only brute force.

She grabbed the nearest monster, melted its body, and made room for herself.

After reverting to human form, the raised snake tail swept fiercely across the hairy monster, the immense force striking its cervical spine, causing it to instantly dislocate and break.

She threw the fallen monster onto the steps below the tenth floor, using its corpse to temporarily block the stairs and seal off the exit.

Sher was very careful in controlling the force of the sweep to ensure that he could kill the hairy monster, while also stopping in time to avoid crashing into the wall.

After clearing out the monsters on the tenth and eleventh floors, she saw two pairs of beady eyes shrouded in shadow on the steps ahead. The snakes' scales were rotting, revealing their ribs, and they were attacking her.
