The Canine Skeleton Monster’s strength was so strong that the impact directly broke the two legs of the table.
Ji Dong’s entire body was thrown, his back and the back of his head smacked against the hard wall. He almost passed out in one breath, and gold stars flashed before him.
Dizzily, he could only hold his head and barely rolled over to sit up, because he no longer had time to hesitate—one of the Canine Skeleton Monsters had already opened its sharp teeth and pounced towards him.
“Crap!”
Ji Dong shouted. With a sharp kick, he sent the fallen table flying at the Canine Skeleton Monster.
A loud “bang” sounded, as the massive head of the canine was slammed squarely by the table and flew out, rolling into a ball.
This only allowed him to buy himself a very short time.
The other two canine-like creatures perfectly formed a beautiful arc as they dodged the oncoming table by jumping to different directions.
The sudden change of trajectory caught them off guard. Their claws slipped on the smooth floor, but that didn’t help Ji Dong grab more time. In the next second, the two vicious canines had already stabilized themselves and pounced towards the fallen curly-haired youth at the same time.
——Shit!
Ji Dong tried to pull out his UV light, but he immediately realized that they were just a hair’s length away. He didn’t even have time to raise the lamp!
Almost simultaneously, someone grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him with one hand.
While dragging Ji Dong to his feet, Mo Tiangen booted the Canine Skeleton Monster that was about to bite Ji Dong’s neck.
However, it was too late to dodge away from the second Canine Skeleton Monster.
The humongous bone dog gnawed on Mo Tiangen’s calf.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Mo Tiangen cried out in pain.
Ji Dong only felt a “buzz” in his head, and for a moment, he went completely blank.
——Brother Dagen had been bitten! He was bitten!
“Ahhhhh!”
Mo Tiangen clenched his teeth and bore the excruciating agony of having a chunk of his flesh torn off. He used his free leg’s enhanced brute strength to crush the skull of the Canine Skeleton Monster that was biting him to death.
He used formidable and ruthless strength that even with a setback, he actually “crunched” and forcibly broke its neck bone.
“Ji Xiao’niao, let’s go!”
Teacher Dagen took out the UV light from his waist with his left hand, grabbed the back collar of Ji Dong with his right hand, roared, and raised him up.
“Come on, get in! Go!”
“Wait!”
Ji Dong’s mind was in chaos.
He knew that Mo Tiangen had been infected by the “Judas Tears” and would soon be like Xiong Er, who had lost all his flesh and skin and turned into a shriveled bone monster!
But he didn’t want to give up.
He couldn’t just stand by and watch Mo Tiangen die in this [Film].
——They were companions who came together!

——He couldn’t leave Brother Dagen here alone!
——Isn’t there a vaccine?
——If it’s not too late…

“Don’t do this…!”
He bit his lips as tears rampantly came out.
“Don’t do this… Brother Dagen… don’t do this…”
At this time, the other two Canine Skeleton Monsters had already sensed their predicament.
They were like hungry wolves on the hunt. Their two front claws on the ground while their hind legs arched, tensed and ready, as if they were about to attack at any moment. Only due to fear of the UV light in Mo Tiangen’s hand that they didn’t pounce on them immediately.
What’s worse, the only remaining unbroken glass cabinet was continuously being shaken. Any moment, it wouldn’t be able to hold up–and inside, there were still two Canine Skeleton Monsters locked up!
Mo Tiangen was fierce.
“Stop nagging and slide down!”
He picked up Ji Dong’s bent leg and lifted him without hesitation. With a violent shove, he pushed him into the garbage disposal tunnel.
Ji Dong didn’t even have time to say a word when his whole person rolled down helplessly like a broken sack.
At the same time, the last glass cabinet also shattered, two Canine Skeleton Monsters broke free. Together with their companions, they ran towards the only one alive in the laboratory…
————————-
The descent was short-lived.
Ji Dong rolled out of the garbage disposal aisle and fell on all fours into a pile of large and small black garbage bags.
Then two hands reached over, one grabbing his arm, the other shielding the back of his head and pulling him up.
“!!!”
Ji Dong grabbed Ren Jianmo’s hand; his lips shivering so much that he could barely get out a syllable in its entirety.
“Brother Dagen, he… he…”
Ren Jianmo looked up and stared at the exit of the garbage disposal passage.
The aluminum pipe was quiet and peaceful, no longer emitting any sound of something passing through it.
“Shh, shh!”
Ren Jianmo stretched out his hand, touched the wool roll on the back of his head with his palm, put his lips close to his ear, and whispered softly, “I know.”
Ji Dong’s eyes were sore and swollen. Tears just gushed out of his eyes uncontrollably.
——In a [Film], any player could die…
——Just one moment of carelessness, and you may never return…
——He lost a very important partner, one he could trust and rely on…
Logically, he understood that they were still in the [Film]. This was not the time to grieve and it didn’t allow him to cry as much as he wanted, to vent his emotions.
But Ji Dong’s tears couldn’t be suppressed.
With teary eyes, he could only fiercely bite his lips, trying his best to not let himself cry out.
“… Let’s go.”
One of Ji Dong’s hands was grabbed by Ren Jianmo’s, while the other hand was trying hard to dry the tears that kept pouring out, while his lips quivered. With the best of his efforts to suppress his trembling voice, he quietly said:
“Do not delay in… here….”
Ren Jianmo didn’t say anything.
He didn’t try to console him because it wouldn’t help at all, so he just grabbed the cold and wet palm of Ji Dong and climbed down the garbage pile with him.
Rose and Annie stood a few steps away, both silently watching the two men.
Since the vaccine was exposed, Annie knew that she had lost her credibility among these people and could be discarded by them at any time. To protect herself, she could only reduce her presence to a minimum and did not dare say more than half a word.
Rose’s expression was even more complicated. Her eyes seemed to ooze with frost. There were too many vague and unexplainable emotions.
Currently, she kept looking down at her watch. Seeing the bright yellow hands on the progress bar, left her distracted.
From the look of the curly-haired child crying miserably, she was sure that the muscular man was definitely in trouble and would never come back.
She knew she had been saved by these people many times along the way, and the brawny man’s death had nothing to do with her.
But so what?
As a participant in the [Peach Blossom Spring], who had experienced three [Films], she was already used to people dying before her.
When a person learned to be apathetic and became accustomed to witnessing life and death, her sole thought would be her desire to survive.
Although this [Film] was only an F-level difficulty, it was significantly more complicated than the previous two [Films] she had experienced. Now, she was the only one left from her teammatesr. She was left all alone.
But Rose’s thoughts remain unchanged, and that was: No matter what, only her survival was of utmost priority.
——Shit, if only I could get the vaccine!
——If only I had the vaccine, I wouldn’t have to worry about the risk of mutation at any moment!
The redhead cursed in her heart. Her gaze drifted unnaturally to the side, then landed on the hand that Ren Jianmo was not using to hold Ji Dong.
——He was holding the suitcase taken out of the metal cabinet by the muscular man, also known as “Teacher Dagen”.
Rose clenched her fist. Her nails dug deep into her palm.
And now, that precious-looking case, held by the stunning, long-haired man, had not yet been opened.
——What was in that box?
——Could it be the vaccine?
Rose bit her lip.
Two to one, and the opponent was exceptionally powerful… Rose didn’t feel that she could snatch the box from the hands of “Mr. Ren” with just her own fighting strength.
Rose thought carefully in her heart and she unconsciously moved one foot forward and glanced at the faces of Ji Dong and Ren Jianmo.
Then, when she suddenly raised her head, she was met with a cold, sharp gaze.
The face of Ren Jianmo was expressionless, only staring straight at her with a pair of heterochromatic pupils.
Rose felt cold all over her body. Her heart suddenly sank, and the step she had just taken was involuntarily taken back.
She understood the warning implied in his eyes, but her thoughts were still overwhelmed. It was difficult to calm down.
Once a person has a certain, obsessive idea, it was very difficult to quench it.
——If it was the Moon God Stone inside, it would be fine. They had the same interest in the matter. There was no competition.
——But if, just if ……
—— What if what was placed inside was really the vaccine?
……
Ji Dong could hardly restrain himself from being sad and upset, but there was no time for him to feel sentimental now.
He wiped his tears while allowing Ren Jianmo to take his hand and rejoin Rose and Annie.
“What should we do next?”
Rose lowered her eyes and forced herself not to pin her eyes on the small suitcase that Ren Jianmo was carrying.
Only then did Ji Dong finally have time to seriously survey the environment they were in.
This was a waste disposal room. The area was quite large. The roof was also remarkably spacious.
Probably because of their previous experience, at this time, as the eyes could see, other than the four of them, there were no other creatures. Whether it was the humanoid Skeleton Monsters, Canine Skeleton Monsters, or human corpses, it was a surprisingly rare safe area.
The aluminum pipe they just fell through was a drop-off channel for ordinary garbage. It was mostly corrugated papers, scraps of paper, and other office waste. Nothing dangerous.
If they fell on a mound of old needles or glass items, it was expected that even if they were not stabbed by the broken glass pieces, they would be infected with the “Judas Tears” and would die here.
Ji Dong looked around and saw two large garbage crushers and an incinerator next to them, which were used to deal with those sharp objects or infectious waste products.
Obviously, the place they were in now should be the Institute’s waste treatment center.
The door to the waste treatment facility was closed at the time of the accident, and no one had ever been inside, so it became a rare safe spot for them to take a breather.
“We should be at the bottom level of the whole Research Institute now.”
Ren Jianmo said.
“If we want to return to the A and B areas of the lab, we have to go through the logistics area where we came in at the beginning and go back to the top two floors…”
Ji Dong raised his face. His eyes, which had just finished crying, were still red; but when he looked at Ren Jianmo’s eyes, they glittered, as if they were projecting small stars.
He truly felt that the great beauty Ren was all-powerful.
Although Ji Dong himself looked at the floor plan of the Research Institute very carefully, he knew he didn’t have the ability to completely print and engrave the dizzying drawings in his mind. At most, he could only remember the location and structure of the most important laboratories. As for the garbage disposal center on the bottom floor, he couldn’t even remember its specific location.
Although it was also Ren Jianmo’s second time to enter the [Film], his level of performance was not like a rookie with mediocre experience.
Whether it was his agile and near-like omnipotent skills or his sharp memory, each performance was far better than those “ordinary players”.
More importantly, Ren Jianmo was impressively calm.
Several times, in the most critical situation, he was exceptionally calm and gave the most rational instructions.
Along the way, Ren Jianmo’s performance made Ji Dong feel that he was so powerful that he didn’t look like a novice at all, and his experience was staggering.
“But it’s not good to move around again, right?”
Rose scratched her short red hair with annoyance.
“The logistics area is full of…”
Just as they were talking, Annie, however, took one step backward, and by this time was standing by the door.
Unlike the smart doors in the experimental area that required ID cards to be swiped, the door to the waste disposal center was a normal sliding door lock.
Catching them off guard, she jerked the door open, turned, and ran out.
Ji Dong froze for a second before he drew his legs to try and chase after Annie.
