——What do I do?!
Ji Dong clung to the corner of the two cabinets, curling into himself to make himself as small as possible.
One of his hands was on his waist, holding the UV light in a death grip.
The Skeleton Monster was only three or five meters away from him, but when its arm was extended, the bone claws were extremely close to touching the tip of its prey’s nose a few times.
Ji Dong held his breath until his lips turned white, his heart pounded violently, his eardrums rumbled with the pulsing frequency of his blood vessels, and his field of vision blackened due to hypoxia. He was really surprised, scared, and helpless. He had to shrink back and curl himself up tighter.
——No, no!
——I can’t die here like this!
This hard-won second life was too precious, and Ji Dong didn’t want to give it up just like that.
——At least, let’s fight a little more!
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pressed his palm against the cabinet behind him once again.
Until now, Ji Xiao’niao had not had the opportunity to carefully explore his power.
After all, what they had encountered this time was a fleshless and bloodless walking corpse with only a skeleton, and his [Ordinary Power Bank] really didn’t have much lethality.
Now at this critical moment, he was only allowed to succeed, not fail, and he could only do his best and give it a shot.
Ji Dong focused all his attention on the palm of his hand, feeling the current stored in his body converge towards the palm of his hand.
His cheeks were flushed with nervousness and breathlessness, and his curly hair exploded in all directions from static electricity—and then, a powerful electric current ran along his skin to the metal cabinet door, and then through disinfection cabinets, instruments, metal desks, and chairs to the far reaches of the room.
A series of deafening “bang bang bang” sounds could be heard from all directions in the next second. The light bulbs and lamps all exploded wherever the current flowed, and the shattered glass pieces splashed and fell like rain.
The Skeleton Monsters, who could only locate the location of their prey by sound and breathing, were very confused by the sudden sound echoing all over the room.
The monsters that were coming towards Ji Dong stopped moving, turned their white miserable skulls, and after a second of hesitation, turned towards the nearest source of sound and pounced.
Even the long-armed skeleton in front of Ji Dong leaped up and slammed straight into a nearby disinfection cabinet that had blown a lamp.
——Now is my chance!
Ji Dong jumped up like an arrow off the string, like a fierce cat with an arched dive, he surged past the middle of the jumping monster’s legs, rolled on the ground, tumbled three meters, and climbed up with his hands and feet. However, it was too late to distinguish between front and back, left and right. His head was dizzy from the lack of oxygen and high pressure so he randomly went in one direction.
Ji Dong finally took a deep breath, and looked around, trying to figure out the current situation.

However, in the next second, a white shadow jumped out from the side, blocking his path.
It was a Skeleton Monster. It was not very big, but the palatine bones looked particularly strong. In addition, the sternum and ribs had increased several times in size, twisting like a bunch of fried dough twists, making the whole skeleton frame seem like an abstract craft made of entwined vines.
Ji Dong’s heart squeezed in horror, and he sensed something wasn’t right.
His breathing just now, in the end, had exposed his position!
——I have no choice but to do it the hard way!
Ji Dong pulled out the UV light pinned to his waist with his left hand, and his blade with his right, in a desperate fighting pose.
Just when Ji Xiao’niao was about to forcibly break through the blockade, he suddenly raised his head, only to see Ren Jianmo standing directly in front of him and the Skeleton Monster.
Ji Dong: “!!!”
He was shocked, and he almost blurted out the word “Fuck”.
——What is he doing?
Ji Dong glanced at the white boned monster standing in front of him, all the hairs on his body stood up in fright and he began sweating profusely.
At this moment, he couldn’t speak up, so he could only widen his round eyes and stare at Ren Jianmo anxiously, hoping that the other party’s mind would be clearer, and that he would not join in on the fun at this critical moment.
However, Ren Jianmo stopped in front of the Skeleton Monster and reached up to take off the gas mask he was wearing.
The Skeleton Monster quickly locked its gaze on Ren Jianmo, who was less than two meters away from it. It turned over and pushed its bone claws to the ground and was about to lunge at the handsome young man in front of him.
The development was so sudden that it completely exceeded Ji Dong’s expectations. He couldn’t respond at all for a moment. He could only watch dumbfoundedly as Ren Jianmo reached out to the Skeleton Monster and moved his lips twice.
Ji Dong felt as if he heard the words Ren Jianmo spoke.
But for some reason, his mind seemed to freeze the moment he saw Ren Jianmo open his mouth, he could neither hear nor think.
Just like him, the Skeleton Monster that was about to jump suddenly dropped its hands and sat down on its butt, as if it was a puppet with its strings cut, never to move again.
Ji Dong just stared straight ahead with a pair of round dog eyes, seeing Ren Jianmo walking towards him, taking his hand, and then placing the gas mask he had just taken off onto Ji Dong’s head.
Ji Xiao’niao’s mind was muddled as he was dragged away by Ren Jianmo, past the petrified monster, and towards Rose and Annie.
During these few seconds, Ji Dong’s brain remained completely blank.
His consciousness floated into the air like a soul detached from his body, looking down from above like a spectator and making a series of unconscious movements that were not controlled by his spirit.
It was not until Ji Dong breathed through the gas mask twice, that his mind suddenly woke up, his three souls returning and seven spirits regaining consciousness.
——Crap!
He exclaimed silently in his heart.
Because Ji Xiao’niao found himself standing in front of the door leading to the inner layer.
As the voice of the intelligent prompt sounded, the door slowly slid open.
Of course, the sound would definitely alert the Skeleton Monsters in the room.
However, they were scattered all over the room and were distracted by the blown lamp, and light bulbs. The loud sound of the shattering glasses and Skeleton Monsters slamming against the metal cabinets sounded one after another and would interfere with the sound of the prompt and their movements. Even if the Skeleton Monsters heard the movement and came over, they still needed some time to reach them—but these golden ten or twenty seconds were enough for them to pass through the door.
The four of them pushed and squeezed their way through the partition door, and then hurried to close it again.
The space inside was only about half the size of the outside, and the number of Skeleton Monsters inside was much less than before.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to open this door quietly and then wear gas masks and go through the inner layer silently.
Unfortunately, when they opened the door just now, the series of movements was enough for the Skeleton monsters in the whole room to focus on them.
——Fuck!
Ji Dong tightened his hold on the UV light and blade in his hands and clenched his teeth.
——Since we can’t avoid the battle, we’ll have to fight!
——————-
Five minutes later, Ji Dong, Ren Jianmo, and Rose combined their efforts to finish off the four Skeleton Monsters in the room and stood panting in front of the door to the child’s room.
Ji Dong swiped his ID card on the door lock, but the artificial intelligence of the Research Institute told him in a cold voice that his authority was not enough to open the door.
This time, they didn’t need to be polite anymore.
Rose didn’t even wait for the AI to finish its sentence, she just picked up her gun and simply blasted bullets at each of the two hinges, then kicked the door open with all her strength.
With a “bang”, a one-centimeter-thick door panel flew out and fell on the floor, revealing the small room behind and the frightened little boy in the wheelchair.
“Su Lin!!”
Annie lifted the gas mask off her head, screamed, and lunged toward her adopted son.
“Su Lin!!! Su Lin! I’m so glad you’re okay!”
She bent down and picked up the skinny child from the wheelchair, holding him tightly in her arms, her voice trembling involuntarily, and her arms closing into a circle with a strength that made people worry she might accidentally break her son’s excessively slender waist.
“…Aunt, Aunt Annie…”
Su Lin answered softly and timidly.
Ji Dong knitted his brows.
From the angle he was standing from, he could see Su Lin turn his head away, pout, and scrunch up his nose with an expression of disgust or impatience.
Not only that, but Ji Dong also saw that the child did not even reach back to hug his excited foster mother.
In contrast to her, the boy’s two small arms were hanging at his side, his hands tightly clutching the corner of his hospital gown
This expression, this reaction, really did not have any resemblance to the scene of a mother and son’s happy reunion!
——What the hell is going on?!
Ji Dong’s heart was like fifteen buckets fetch water, seven up and eight downs, always feeling that something was really wrong.
Just as he was wondering whether to suggest that Annie put the child down first, he suddenly heard Rose’s voice cut through.
“Come on, enough!”
She said gruffly.
“Time is short, let’s get down to business first!”
Rose’s voice was so loud that everyone looked over towards her.
The red-haired beauty had her left hand in the coat pocket of her camouflage uniform, and her right hand was holding the gun that was resting on her shoulder. Her posture was quite like that of a badass soldier.
She raised her chin towards the little boy being held by Annie, “Kid, do you really know where the ‘Moon God Stone’ is?”
“…”
The little boy cringed and lowered his eyes to avoid Rose’s piercing gaze.
“If, if it’s still there…”
He replied nervously, “If it’s still in that original lab, I, I’ll know…”
“Uh huh.”
Rose nodded noncommittally.
Then she turned her head to look at Ren Jianmo, her eyes stayed on the young man’s handsome and bewitching face for a second, then floated down and landed on the suitcase he was holding, and asked, “Aren’t you curious about what’s in that suitcase?”
