Upon hearing this, Jiang Quancai finally realized what was happening and fell silent again.
They were so busy rescuing people that they only thought about how to get in, but forgot to leave themselves a way out.
Now that the road behind is blocked, isn't the only option to move forward?
But ahead lies an endless unknown...
"What should we do then?"
He Dong let out a bewildered cry.
"Then we can only move forward."
Zero said in a low voice.

"Then we can only move forward."
Zero said in a low voice.
"Forward!? Are you kidding me? There's a good chance that monster is ahead. If we encounter it, we'll all die!!! Even if we're spiritual cultivators, it's useless! Just look at the corpses of those team members; you can tell that spiritual power has absolutely no effect on it!!"
He Dong roared as if he had gone mad.
Zero snorted coldly and said indifferently:
“Your concerns are valid, but remember, the fact that spiritual energy has no effect on it might just mean the monster has higher magic resistance, not that its defense is useless. Of course, this is just my deduction and cannot be completely confirmed. But now, we must move forward, because only by moving forward can we find a way out and have any hope of survival. Otherwise, we can only wait for death here!”
"I disagree! I disagree with going forward!! Going forward will kill us!!"
He Dong roared, his face turning bright red.
"We'll die...we'll die...we'll all die...there's no escaping it..."
He muttered to himself as if possessed, repeating the same phrase over and over again, looking somewhat deranged.
Seeing He Dong's condition, Jiang Quan couldn't help but frown:
"He Dong!! Wake up!"
"Master Jiang..."
He Dong seemed stunned and muttered to himself.
"He Dong! Wake up! We have to move forward! Otherwise, sitting here is just waiting to die!!"
Jiang Quan's voice suddenly doubled in volume, startling He Dong so much that he froze on the spot. He seemed to detect a hint of fear and worry in Jiang Quan's words.
"No, we can't go forward, we can't go forward..."
He Dong muttered to himself, shaking his head repeatedly, his eyes growing increasingly confused.
Ling looked at Jiang Quan, frowned slightly, and asked:
"What's wrong with him? He's suddenly become like a different person, and... whenever that monster is mentioned, he acts like he's gone mad. Hasn't he never seen that monster? Why is he so afraid?"
It would be absolutely impossible that I was terrified by the gruesome sight of those corpses.
There's only one possibility...
Jiang Quan and Ling exchanged a glance, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes—
He's lying.
That's right. His previous experiences and coma were just a way for him to cover up his guilty conscience.
Something must have happened to him in the meantime.
Or perhaps, to some extent, he wanted to forget what had happened before, so he forcibly imposed some false memories on himself.
In his subconscious, he had completely forgotten even what happened when he was unconscious.
This is because he has too many secrets in his heart, so many that he himself is unwilling to touch them. He would rather bury them deep than expose them to the outside world.
Whenever monsters are mentioned, it triggers a memory in his heart, and then he unconsciously wants to escape, and even dares not look directly at them.
Jiang Quan and Ling were both intelligent people, so they naturally understood everything He Dong had said.
"Do you...do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
Jiang Quan looked at He Dong and suddenly asked a question.
Upon hearing this, He Dong was first stunned, then his eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Jiang Quan, his eyes filled with shock and surprise.
"Lord Jiang, didn't I already tell you all this?"
"You really didn't see the monster?"
"No, really no...no..."
"Hey He Dong, have you forgotten something? You're the only one left in this abandoned warehouse. Don't you find that strange? Why is everyone else gone, and you're the only one left?"
Ling narrowed her eyes, staring sharply at He Dong, her tone carrying a strong warning.
"I……"
Upon hearing this, He Dong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. His eyes became blank, his pupils contracted, and his body trembled slightly, as if he had fallen into darkness.
Seeing He Dong's appearance, Ling and Jiang Quan's hearts skipped a beat.
"He remembered?"
"ah--"
Suddenly, He Dong let out a shrill roar, his voice filled with extreme pain, which made everyone who heard it feel a pang of sorrow.
Then she let out another heart-wrenching scream and ran forward quickly, seemingly forgetting that she was still an injured person...
He ran while shouting:
"No! No!"
"He really remembered!!!"
Watching He Dong's running figure, Jiang Quan and Ling couldn't help but exchange a glance.
"I don't want to die...!"
He Dong's roars echoed through the empty stairwell. By this time, He Dong had completely lost his mind and rushed out without any regard for anything else.
"Calm down! Don't run around!"
