"A skirt? Are you trying to wear it for your partner?" Elsa covered her mouth and chuckled.

Jiang Shuyin then noticed that she was wearing a short skirt, and she could vaguely see the same color safety shorts underneath.

Chen Weilan went over and stubbornly pulled down the hem of Elsa's skirt.

Elsa slapped his hand away: "Okay, okay, if you pull any harder, it'll fall down. Can't you just pretend I'm wearing shorts?"

Jiang Shu wandered around for a while, finally getting into the swing of shopping. She picked out two pairs of items: a pair of charcoal gray jeans and a pair of black slim-fit trousers. Once she found them suitable in the fitting room, she put them on.

I just grabbed two loose black short-sleeved shirts.

When they passed a men's clothing store, Elsa went straight in, took a few clothes from the shelf, and held them up against Chen Weilan.

Jiang Shuyin thought for a moment and then followed him inside. Although Xie Yin was an alien, he still needed to wear clothes, so she brought him two sets.

If he gets lectured later, I can use this to shut him up.

Not knowing his size, Jiang Shuyin hesitated for a moment standing in front of the pants.

Elsa came over with a smile: "Don't know the size? We're a couple and our sizes look about the same, so let's get XL."

Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

The entire second floor was searched. Jiang Shuyin carried a large bag in one hand and gripped an iron rod tightly in the other, ready to guard against any approaching monsters.

Elsa and Chen Weilan exchanged a glance and thought that this partner was somewhat reliable.

"Why don't we put the things in the car first? It's inconvenient to carry them like this."

Jiang Shuyin adopted Elsa's suggestion.

When people outside saw them carrying things out, their eyes lit up and they rushed into the mall entrance. When Jiang Shuyin saw so many people, she turned and headed to the most dangerous hotel, the Outer Hotel.

Elsa quickly discussed it with her partner and decided to temporarily stop working with Jiang Shuyin.

Even the god Wei Shen disappeared from the hotel; for ordinary people to go there is even less likely to return.

On the top floor of the World Trade Center, a place known as the top of the world, Xie Yin stood on the edge, as if a mere gust of wind could push him off and cause him to fall.

But the giant tumor behind him knew what the man's true form was, so the idea that the black mist would fall to its death was a lame joke from hundreds of millions of years ago.

This is an encrypted message from Xie Yin of the Black Mist Clan, who held his first meeting with Nova Trolop DeWitt, the commander of his subordinate clan, in the New World.

The gist of the message is: "Why did the Kelton tribe change their name to the Black Mist tribe? Are they maintaining neutrality?"

Xie Yin's answer was: "The name change is to better integrate into human society. The Black Mist Clan has always been neutral, no matter when or where."

The subordinate race, renowned for its wisdom and high spiritual power, after receiving Xie Yin's reply, pondered briefly and stated its position:

“Our race does not need human resources to reproduce, and like you, I remain neutral.”

The next second, in the World Trade Center, the mental power controlling the advanced monsters was severed, and their intelligence and behavior reverted to the level of a three-year-old. Their reactions became slower and their speed decreased. Shen Wei, who was given the title of God of the Unknown, clearly felt the difference.

However, his body had been exhausted to the extreme during the long battle, and there was not a single part of him that was in good condition. During these three days and three nights, he slept in the closet for two hours in fear.

He knew perfectly well that there was no one behind him.

No one would come to his rescue, because he was called a god. If he failed, people would only be disappointed; if he succeeded, a brief moment of glory would be followed by an even heavier burden.

"I'm so tired," he gasped, a wide grin spreading across his face.

Seizing the opportunity, the monster's hand was cut off by his Tang sword, but the monster's other hand had already pierced through his chest.

Chen Wei fell heavily to the ground, clearly feeling the foreign object being pulled out of her body, along with a feeling of swelling, pain, and suffocation.

Before losing consciousness, the monster suddenly disappeared.

Shen Wei closed her eyes with a smile, finally free...

——

The hotel's leather sofa was torn apart by claws, exposing the latex underneath; the coffee table was overturned on its side; and the tempered glass was relatively intact.

Jiang Shu looked up and, unsurprisingly, all the lights had been destroyed.

The hotel's first floor is four meters high, and the monster has excellent jumping ability, so she kept a close eye on it.

Qingwu climbed onto her shoulder from inside the hat. Before, when there were outsiders, Jiang Shuyin insisted that he not come out. Now the two of them could talk, mainly because she wanted to teach the little one to speak Chinese.

"Let's go around the first floor first, then go to the second floor. My woman's intuition tells me there's definitely a monster here."

This floor consists of a reception hall and service area. Meals for the guest rooms are prepared on the first floor. There are also global chain brands. When she saw a store that specializes in selling lingerie, Jiang Shuyin couldn't resist taking two sets, which she put in a bag and put in her backpack.

The corridor leading to the kitchen was covered with murals, long and dark, and Jiang Shuyin couldn't help but hold her breath.

"Thump"

Footsteps!

It was the sound of meat hitting the floor, filtered out by the carpet with a dull tone.

As she got closer, without hesitation, she swung her hand and hurled it, only to be blocked by something that looked like a wall.

"Heh," the monster seemed to mock her overestimation of her abilities.

Jiang Shu launched three consecutive attacks, all of which were blocked, and even the mud-man was provoked to show some temper.

"System, view the other party's information."

[Mutant, Survival: 2000, Output: 2200, Bonus: Strength]

Jiang Shuyin immediately compared her stats with the monster's. She couldn't match the monster's survivability, but her damage output was significantly higher.

Realizing her advantage, she changed her strategy. Closing her eyes would sharpen her hearing, and she launched a frantic attack in the direction of the heavy breathing. The rustling sound of the carpet gradually faded, indicating that the monster was retreating.

It was like a warrior in a game fighting a heavily armored tank. It was a long battle. Jiang Shuyin chased after it from the corridor to the well-lit reception hall before she could see what it was fighting.

Aside from the scars she inflicted, he looked no different from a human. His bloodshot eyes pierced her like nails, and his chest was like a vacuum cleaner, making a "hoarse" sound with each rise and fall.

"Confusion."

The effect dims immediately after the additional skill is activated.

A flicker of emotion flashed in the monster's eyes, but before Jiang Shuyin could discern it, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared, coiling around the monster like a snake. The moving, leaping black mist hissed as Qingwu floated past and circled around.

I don't know how many minutes passed, but suddenly the black mist vanished, revealing the skeleton inside, which turned into powder the instant it was exposed to the air.

"Ding-dong"

A transparent crystal core fell to the ground, bounced twice, and was enveloped by Qingwu.

Jiang Shuyin shooed the baby away, and there was no trace of the crystal core on the ground.

“You…” Jiang Shuyin wanted to say something, but then she realized that Qingwu had been hatching for so long and she hadn’t prepared anything for him except for the eggshell.

Oh well, what's done is done.

Mission failed, let's continue sweeping the buildings.
