Shi Jinzhe tried it twice in a row, for five minutes, not a second more or less. When he tried it for the third time, as soon as he let go, the snake's tail appeared again.

"I guess it can only last fifteen minutes, no more than that." Shi Jinzhe asked, "Does this have anything to do with your molting?"

"Maybe, but I didn't expect to shed my skin at this time." Sheh collected the snake skin and thought about her crazy desire to suck blood yesterday. She said, "Maybe it has something to do with your blood. I don't have that kind of desire for others."

"You always say that I have a nice smell. Is that my blood?"

"Yes, it smells good." Sheh said as he spit out his tongue, looking a little eager to try.

Shi Jinzhe took a step back and away from her. If his blood was really special, then what happened in the maze before...

He still remembered the situation when he discovered the statue. The statue was pressed under the stone slab, especially the body part, which was blocked tightly by the heavy stone slab.

How could a stone statue that couldn't even be broken by a stone slab so large crack so quickly because of a tiny stone?

At this moment, I suddenly realized that I had overlooked many details because of fear.

Sheh came out of the broken stone statue. The stone was very thin, and she twisted her body a few times and easily broke free.

The thin stone slices could not stop her, and the thick stone slabs could not crush the statue. In fact, when he found the statue, there was not even a scratch on it except for a broken edge where the earring was.

Shi Jinzhe raised his hand and rubbed the teeth marks on his neck. He was injured at the time and the stone statue was stained with a lot of blood.

He wondered, what if Shekh was not able to come out because the statue was broken?

"Shekh, were you conscious when you were in the statue?"

Shi Jinzhe didn't like to pry into other people's past. He wouldn't ask if others didn't tell him voluntarily. But he had to ask now.

He suspected that his blood was his unknown skill.

"No." Sheh touched the double S earring on his left ear. "Something flowed into my body from here, and I woke up."

Shi Jinzhe stared at the earring on her left ear. Not only was the earring stained with blood, but he had also kept it hidden in his arm for quite a long time.

It was not a coincidence that Sheh was able to wake up, it was her own blood that woke her up.

Shi Jinzhe: "I don't know what this skill of mine is. It's hidden so deeply."

He looked at the two old teeth in the palm of his hand. Could it be that they were replenishing energy and promoting evolution?

Then this skill can't be called selfless dedication, devoting oneself to others, sacrificing oneself, no skills, just relying on luck.

Sheh couldn't let go of the tip of his tail that had been covered with new skin. He kept kneading it in his hands. When he heard Shi Jinzhe say this, he glanced at him and said as if he had thought of something, "You didn't get infected immediately yesterday."

"Then maybe there are more resistance to bacteria." Shi Jinzhe was not sure about this. If there was a real resistance, there would be one that was immune to all poisons, but he might only have temporary immunity.

I don’t know how this skill was equipped on him. I couldn’t figure it out, so I just gave up thinking about it.

He found a cowhide sheath for a knife, put the two fangs in it, and put it in his pocket.

Afraid that Shehe would be hungry after not eating for a day, Shi Jinzhe hurried to prepare food for her.

The two of them did not go out and no one came to look for them, so they spent the eighteenth day peacefully.

On the nineteenth day, the Azure Warehouse Management Area was completely covered with fungi, and a large number of hairy monsters gathered around the Azure Building. Sheh discovered that they were practicing Jenga.

"The group on the left has reached the third one."

"Well, what's the sum of the three on the left and the two on the right?" Shi Jinzhe pulled down her fingers that were leaning against the window. "Use the math, don't count."

"I don't want to count."

"Then count." Shi Jinzhe followed her wishes. When he heard Sheh say five, he asked the next question.

The hairy monster downstairs stacked the things shakily up high, and served as a teaching tool for the two people on the ninth floor for the whole morning.

During lunch, one group managed to stack four of them and successfully reached the window on the third floor of the Blue Tower.

A couple of employees' family members who lived on the third floor turned their heads and saw a furry face through the window.

Under the fur was a face that had been drained of nutrients, with gray-brown gums sticking out, causing the cheekbones to bulge outward, making the corners of the bones look extremely sharp.

The hairy monster knocked on the glass towards the couple in the window, stretched his head to look inside, and most of his face seemed to want to get in through the window.

The knocking gradually changed from tapping to slapping, with such force that the glass was shaking.

But no matter how impatient the hairy monster's movements were, the fake smile on its face always remained in the same arc, as if it was glued on.

The wife's face was pale and she was so terrified that she forgot to call for help. Her mind was blank and she was completely unable to react.

It was only when the ceramic bowl she was holding hit her instep that she remembered to run. She patted her husband on the back and said, "Don't just stand there, run!"

The two fled in a hurry. The husband protected his wife. Before closing the door, he turned his head to look at the monster. It had its eyes wide open, with its eyeballs almost popping out, staring at the two of them.

Seeing the two men running away, he banged on the window like crazy, as if yelling at them not to run.

The two found their father who worked at Wei Lan and begged him to move to a higher floor. The third floor was too low and the monster was already able to climb up.

"It's an exception to bring you in. This is not a hotel. You can't stay wherever you want. These rooms for you to stay in are all vacated by the staff offices. The rooms above are occupied by several senior executives and experts from the research center."

"But...but I heard that someone moved into the ninth floor the day before yesterday, and those two people were not even employees of Wei Lan..."

The husband stammered in retort, "Dad, you are a core employee after all. They let an unrelated person live here without even telling you..."

"What do you want me to do? Let me lose face and beg the chairman?"

"… We can't get to the ninth floor, so why don't you secretly let us go to another floor? Don't you have the authority to go to floors below the seventh floor?" The wife carefully protected her belly. "It's been four months. I really can't stand being scared. My heart almost jumped out of my chest."

"Yes, Dad, Weiwei really can't stand the shock. You know she's in poor health, and she's a twin. My mom was so reluctant to let her go before she passed away. You saw how many names she had."

The young couple's words struck the father's heart. His wife had named the two children before she died. If something happened to them, she would probably be very sad.

The father was struggling internally. Wei Lan had been closely monitoring the entry and exit of personnel on each floor this year, except for the floors below the fourth floor, which were relatively loose. If someone was sent up there and was discovered, it would be a serious matter.

But he heard screams coming from other rooms, and his daughter-in-law shrank her shoulders in fear, and he was also worried about his grandchildren.

My daughter-in-law is in really poor health. When Mr. Lan brought them in half a month ago, considering Weiwei's physical condition, he only dared to let her stay in the isolation room for two minutes.

It would be dangerous if you get startled.

After thinking it over, my father agreed to the request. He quietly sent the person to the seventh floor and said, "This is my office. You must not walk around casually. Understand?"

The two of them happily promised, "We will definitely not walk around or talk nonsense."
