I can rewind time to prevent death-Chapter 434 323: Takeout (Part 7) (2/3, Request for subscription! Vote for monthly ticket!)
Yan Junze seemed to have anticipated this, taking a step back without entering through the iron door.
Before he retreated, he greeted the woman in red with another heavy blow from the club in his hand. At first, the woman was howling in agony, but now she was instinctively crawling inward, trying to escape without being able to make a sound.
Accompanied by various strange noises from inside the room, a fat man armed with a butcher's knife stepped out, his right half of the face completely decayed, and his stomach had a long gash through which red was wriggling, the cause of his death unknown.
Following him was another strangeness unable to be identified as either an adult or a child, its entire body curled up into a ball, swiftly moving forward on the ground, with its hind legs snapped off and gone.
The two strangenesses rapidly closed in on Yan Junze.
By now, the tall and thin man had already run to the entrance of the cold storage, looking over in a panicked state, ready to shut the cold storage door at any moment should the strangenesses approach.
However, knowing the truth of the situation, he was still somewhat concerned for Yan Junze's safety. Although the other party was an exorcist, capable of combating strangenesses, if he came out unscathed, it would mean less responsibility for himself.
But if Yan Junze were to be defeated and unable to come out, there would be no choice but to shut the cold storage door. If the problem in the cold storage was resolved, all was well, but if Yan Junze failed, the tall and thin man could only bury his corpse along with it.
Looking from the direction of the entrance, the sight was largely obstructed by the mass of hanging plastic cloth, so much so that the tall and thin man could hardly see what was happening inside.

But the eerie cries reaching his ears were very real, causing him to tremble, gripping the door handle without letting go, occasionally catching glimpses of different shadows around the iron door.
This scene made him feel even colder.
As for Yan Junze, upon seeing the two strangenesses charging at him, one in front and one behind, he immediately released Long-tongued Zhenzhen, the Crawler Monster, and two strange babies.
"Kill them!"
Long-tongued Zhenzhen's tongue lashed out, wrapping around the head of the butcher in the front, while the Crawler Monster started to fight with the creature crawling on the ground.
Boom!
The butcher's head was crushed by Zhenzhen's hard tongue, but the headless body still flailed the butcher's knife chaotically.
Zhenzhen drew back her tongue, then shot it out repeatedly, the tongue striking with bullet-like speed, different from the Crawler Monster's forked tongue.
The butcher strangeness's body took hit after hit and quickly became riddled with holes, falling backward, then vanished into thin air.
"That was a mid-level Wandering Spirit," Long-tongued Zhenzhen informed Yan Junze.
When Yan Junze first locked her down in Rock's old house, Zhenzhen was already an advanced Wandering Spirit. Now, after absorbing Different Dimension Energy in the Atlas for so long, her strength had grown, though not quite a true Sculpting Spirit, she wasn't far off.
Zhenzhen was now superior to the likes of a Semi-Sculpting Spirit like Resentful Granny.
Similarly, the Crawler Monster, having spent even more time in the Atlas, was no longer the weakling it once was.
Its tongue was more on the flexible side, and it now had the black, footless strangeness entangled and pinned down, its ten sharp fingers ferociously clawing at the creature.
The strangeness on the ground couldn't withstand the assault, screeching and flailing wildly at the Crawler Monster.
The Crawler Monster's strength was now verging on that of an advanced Wandering Spirit, and it hadn't felt such exhilarating combat with its kind for a long time. Once among the lowest ranks of strangenesses, it now savoured a moment of triumph.
Even its side parting hairdo, normally so neat, was now disheveled as it fought with abandon, occasionally letting out shrill, unpleasant cries, making others think it was incurring heavy self-damage whilst injuring the enemy.
Noises were still coming from inside the iron door, and the two strange babies, excited by the sounds, had already darted inside.
Concerned for their safety, Yan Junze hurriedly said to Zhenzhen, "Quick, follow the babies in, don't let them get hurt."
Mainly because Aunt Mei had taken care of these two, and now that he was about to return to Shuntian City, if Aunt Mei found out that these two kids met with some misfortune, he would have trouble explaining himself.
Zhenzhen levitated and drifted through the iron door.
Soon, the sounds of a struggle accompanied by the thrilled cries of the strange babies could be heard. These two fought much like the Crawler Monster, the only difference being their lack of a tongue.
Over here, the Crawler Monster flipped the dark creeper onto the ground, reducing it to a cloud of black smoke that dissipated completely.
It then shook its hair into place, looking at Yan Junze with an expression seeking recognition for its achievements.
"Let's go, inside."
Yan Junze patted its head and led the way into the iron door, with the Crawler Monster following behind.
Upon entering, they found the room behind the iron door to be a steel chamber, filled with poor air quality and engulfed in a stinky and even somewhat rotten smell.
Zhenzhen and the two strange babies had already dispatched the unrecognizable strangenesses that were making noises earlier, leaving two blurred masses of flesh on the floor, gradually fading away.
The room no longer harbored any other strangeness that posed a threat to them, but various strange sounds still emanated from the deepest part of the room.
As Yan Junze was about to walk deeper, Zhenzhen reminded him, "I feel very afraid; there's something in there that's very bad, very bad indeed."
"You're feeling fear too?" Yan Junze was surprised.
Zhenzhen shook her head, "It's not that I'm afraid of something, it's more like I have an instinctual sense of fear."
