"At least he's not completely stupid."
Lu Zhen shot him a glance, signaling him to stay quiet.
Leng Pan didn't argue further.
"Fine. We'll go first."
She turned and pushed the door without hesitation.
The heavy metal door on the rooftop creaked open slowly, revealing a dark stairwell that led into the building below.
A damp, moldy smell wafted out immediately, mixed with something far more unpleasant. The unmistakable stench of decay.
The moment they stepped inside, the temperature seemed to drop.
Water dripped steadily from above, forming small puddles along the steps.
The walls were stained with dark streaks, and faint scratch marks could be seen here and there.
Lu Hao frowned slightly.
"It seems that something passed through here recently and it's not friendly."
His voice was low, but everyone heard it.
Leng Pan nodded.
"Everyone stay alert." She ordered.
They descended carefully, step by step.
The lower they went, the stronger the smell became.
