Be careful of the violence in the content.
The girl’s voice was full of fear and despair, making people want to rush over to help as soon as they heard it.
Shen Jie didn’t immediately act but instead asked Jian Mingze beside him, “Did you hear that sound?”
“Sound?” Jian Mingze looked puzzled.
Even with a mask, the foul odor in the underground space couldn’t be completely isolated. Jian Mingze furrowed his brow deeply, his amber eyes narrowing in the dimly lit space, showing a hint of vigilance. “What sound?”
“The voice of a little girl,” Shen Jie said.
He remembered something.
Previously, Aunt Jiang had insisted that she heard Xiao Ya’s voice when she emerged from the hiding ward, but those around her had no recollection of it. In the end, Aunt Jiang impulsively left the room, only to be caught by Mutated Nurses and locked in the infusion hall.
“It’s strange,” Jian Mingze said. “It’s very quiet on my end, and I haven’t heard anything.”
He thought for a moment and added, “Perhaps it’s a ‘Soul’ category’s alien capable of bewitching people’s hearts. Be cautious and don’t act impulsively.”
With that, Jian Mingze took out a flashlight from his treasure chest and handed it to Shen Jie.
Shen Jie took the flashlight, nodded slightly, but the voices in his ears became more and more miserable, including “Mom, where are you?”, “Big brother, why aren’t you coming to help me?”, “Help—” causing him to furrow his brows lightly.
The source of the sound was deep within the corridor.
The two of them quickly advanced, stepping on the carpet.
The carpet was black, and under the flashlight’s beam, anyone could see it woven from countless shiny, slippery strands of hair, with the surface resembling a thick layer of wax, greasy and soft to step on.
Soon, the narrow corridor reached its end.
Ahead was a black door. There was a rectangular observation window on the door, and they could see the scene inside by getting close to it.
Shen Jie looked into the room.
—The room was large, with veins crawling all over the walls, like dense vines intertwining.
On the walls and floor grew structures resembling biological cabins, but the substance constituting them was strange, writhing organisms, closing like clamshells, trapping patients inside.
Blood-red light descended from the ceiling, casting everything in an eerie darkness.

Inside the room, there were more than a dozen “nurses” moving about, but unlike the nurses on the upper floors wearing pink uniforms, these nurses wore black uniforms, with several black tentacles surging out from where their heads should be, writhing in the air.

Although unsure if there were traps inside, faced with this situation, Jian Mingze made a decisive move and exclaimed, “Save them!”
The door was tightly locked. But the conditions for activating the ability “Sideways Jump” were very favorable in this situation — able to move to any point within sight.
Jian Mingze’s hand covered Shen Jie’s back, and the two of them teleported into the room together.
Jian Mingze’s hand suddenly produced a dagger emitting white light, slicing off the tentacles on the nurse’s head.
The syringe containing the worm fell to the ground and shattered, emitting a crisp cracking sound. The fat white worm was exposed to the air, wriggled for a moment, and then dissolved into a puddle of water.
Shen Jie swept his long knife horizontally, severing the waists of two mutated nurses standing nearby.
The nurses were cut in half, with the lower halves losing their vitality. The tentacles from the upper half’s head fell to the ground, only to instantly transform into limb-like structures for grasping the ground. Meanwhile, the body’s severed surface grew out a blood-gaping mouth with two rows of saw-like teeth, leaping towards the two of them in a sudden attack!!
Meanwhile, the alarm bells rang loudly in the room, and all the nurses turned their bodies towards the direction of the disturbance.
A battle was inevitable.
The aliens more or less inherit the characteristics of the Undead Soul Corpse, showing strong vitality.
Previously, the weak points of the pink-uniformed nurses were relatively easy to find, being the heart behind their backs and the brain at the center of the cross.
But these black-uniformed nurses—
Shen Jie squinted.
The long knife quickly cut down two nurses who had only half of their bodies left, but the result was that the bodies, now cut into quarters, quickly resumed activity on the ground, like continuously dividing octopuses.
Continuing like this would only lead to more and more of them.
He looked at the motionless lower halves of the nurses beside him, which were also cut into two pieces, but they did not revive.
Why?
In addition, he confirmed that the previous strike had hit the mutated nurse’s heart position—where a normal person’s heart would be—but there was no sensation of piercing the heart.
The system reminded him: [Aliens of Rank Three and below still cannot transcend the concept of ‘living organism’ and inevitably possess fatal organ weaknesses, albeit in different positions and quantities from ordinary humans.]
Shen Jie’s blade changed direction, no longer aimed at their bodies but at their tentacles.
Moreover, he didn’t just horizontally sever them, but with extreme precision, he cut directly from the soft and smooth tips of the tentacles.
It was like cutting through a continuously wriggling soft noodle falling from the sky in rapid motion, and cutting the noodle in half from its core. This required extremely acute eyesight, precise control of the knife, and meticulous attention to the angle and force of the cut.
But Shen Jie’s blade was steady, and so was his hand.
Swift, precise, and ruthless.
The blade gleamed like rain.
The leaping tentacle were cut open one by one, falling to the ground, motionless.
It could be seen that within the cross-section of each tentacle, there were tiny brains and hearts hidden.
If these things weren’t destroyed in an instant, who knew how many living beings would still split off.
With the nurses in the room dealt with, Shen Jie turned to look at Xiao Ya bound in the biological cabin.
His blade was stained with blood, surrounded by nurse corpses. His once-white hair unavoidably got stained with blood during the prolonged battle, turning its tips a pale red.
Xiao Ya widened her watery eyes and reached out to him desperately, “Big brother… save me…”
System: [Something’s not right with her.]
Jian Mingze approached with the glowing dagger, intending to help cut the vein-like things wrapped around her body and rescue her from the cabin, but Shen Jie grabbed his hand.
“Wait.”
Shen Jie looked down at her, reaching out to touch the girl’s skin.
The system’s alarm immediately sounded.
[Warning! Warning! Infection value has exceeded the limit.]
[Please note, the target is an alien.]
Just as the system warned, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the girl’s face.
“Big brother, you’ve got the wrong person.”
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and a carpet woven from hair rose up like a fountain, enveloping them from all directions like a tidal wave.
Simultaneously, the ceiling cracked open, and a surge of hair poured down towards them.
The change was sudden.
The black wave had already reached them in an instant. Jian Mingze wanted to activate “Sideways Jump” to escape with Shen Jie, but the passage outside had already been occupied by the rising strands of hair.
This room, this space, was itself a huge trap.

In the midst of the thunderstorm,
The pale spear pierced through the alien’s chest for the hundredth time.
“It’s useless,” Lin Ze said, “Just like this, you can’t kill me. If you want to destroy me, then destroy my domain completely—come on.”
“By the hands of the city’s guardians personally destroying this filthy, dirty building, burying everything, my purpose would also be achieved.”
Zong Lin: “You talk too much.”
Lin Ze suddenly felt a burning pain in his soul—this shouldn’t be happening. If the “Soul Box” wasn’t destroyed, how could Zong Lin’s pale spear hurt him?
He slowly lowered his head to his chest, where there was actually a forcefully broken crack in his domain, through which the pale spear penetrated. The power infiltrated the domain and, through “Soul Tracking”, he influenced the fundamental nature, and structure of both his essence, and his domain at the same time.
It wasn’t about destroying the “Soul Box” or the domain; it was about using excessively powerful force to forcibly surpass barriers, locking him in, and dispelling the mist.
“How… is this possible?”
Zong Lin impaled Lin Ze to the ground with his spear. Lin Ze’s wounds could no longer heal, nor could he move.
If he wanted, he could indeed unleash his power and wipe out Lin Ze’s domain in one go.
But in doing so, the survivors inside would not stand a chance.
Shen Jie was still inside; he couldn’t do that.
Zong Lin left the spear in place to fixate it, stepping into the misty domain.
He had to bring Shen Jie back.
And he also needed to figure out what was going on with the son that Zhu Ping’an mentioned.
