Seeing that Price had already stopped, they naturally didn’t continue forward.

For the moment, they were at a standstill here, unsure of what to do next.

Yigol was at the back, so the smell he sensed was naturally less intense.

After a while, he finally spoke up, frowning slightly.

“Are we going to stay here, or are we going to keep moving forward?”

Upon hearing this, they both shook their heads without hesitation.

No matter what, they had already come this far, and there was no way they would give up easily.

So at this moment, Price bolstered his resolve and said,

“No, we have to keep going. We can’t just stop here.”

Suri also strongly agreed with this.

They had already come such a long way, and they couldn’t just stop now.

So she immediately chimed in as well.

“That’s right, we do need to keep moving forward. We can’t give up now, or else things might become even worse.”

Although she had thought of many possibilities and speculated what could be causing the smell,

even if she knew, she wouldn’t hesitate at this moment.

So now, she knew what they needed to do.

Since the two of them had made such a decision, how could Yigol not support them?

So he immediately nodded and said,

“Alright, of course, no problem. If you want to keep moving forward, then I’ll definitely accompany you from behind.”

Afterward, they continued silently moving forward without any discussion.

But as they kept moving, the smell became more and more unbearable, causing them to feel nauseous.

Originally, they hadn’t eaten much, but after smelling this, they lost their appetite entirely.

Before, when they hadn’t eaten anything, their hunger was somewhat bearable, but now, feeling so nauseous, they had no desire to eat at all.

After a while, they finally saw a small door not far away.

But Price could clearly see that the small door was slightly ajar.

When he saw this, he became somewhat cautious and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. He also stopped in his tracks.

The two behind him naturally didn’t see what was happening up front, so they looked puzzled, not understanding why Price had stopped out of the blue.

Suri immediately asked,

“What’s wrong? What happened? Why did you suddenly stop?”

Hearing her question, Price finally turned his head and shook it seriously, gesturing for her not to speak loudly.

His caution was only because he was afraid that there might be someone else in the room.

He clearly saw that the door was not closed properly.

If there were others, his current situation would be extremely dangerous. After all, he didn’t want to bring his friends into danger.

Upon seeing Price’s behavior, both Suri and Yigol became increasingly puzzled, clueless about what was going on.

Soon after, he cautiously said,

“That door seems to be open, and I’m worried that there might be someone inside. Let’s be careful for now. If there are indeed people inside, it might become even worse.”

Price spoke in a very low voice, and they finally understood his meaning.

Initially, they didn’t understand why he had suddenly become so cautious.

But now they knew.

It was only because he feared there might be someone in the room.

Since that was the case, they would definitely be more careful and try not to let their worst fears come true.

Suri began to think seriously after hearing his words.

It took her a while before she finally said,

“But just now, we didn’t see any signs of people on our route. There shouldn’t be anyone here, right?”

She always found it strange since logically, that should not be possible.

Moreover, she couldn’t bear to stay here any longer, as the strong smell was causing her nausea to rise.

After carefully considering her words, Price thought they made sense.

And, at the moment, Price found the smell unbearable as well.

So after thinking for a moment, he nodded gently.

“Alright, let’s go take a look. Maybe we’re just overthinking.”

After saying that, he mustered the courage to walk towards the front.

No matter what, they couldn’t give up now.

They had come this far, and there was no turning back. Any effort they made before would be wasted otherwise, and they couldn’t let that happen.

So at this moment, they all cheered themselves up and continued moving forward.

After some time, they finally arrived at the door.

Carefully listening for a while, they realized there was indeed nothing inside and most likely no one there. Their fears of something happening had been unfounded.

Price cautiously peered into the room. He was astonished by what he saw next.

Unexpectedly, there was a corpse inside.

Now he knew why they had smelled such a strong odor earlier; it was coming from the corpse.

For a moment, he was stuck in place, unsure of what to say next.

This revelation dealt a significant blow to him.

And the corpse was right before his eyes.

He couldn’t accept it.

Naturally, the two people behind him didn’t know why he had suddenly stopped.

They both found it strange and didn’t know what was going on.

After a while, Suri finally asked again.
