A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 37 Crisis
"The energy core is stored at the bottom of the underground laboratory, but there is also an extremely powerful mutated creature imprisoned there. It is a monster artificially created by the laboratory, and its energy level can reach the tenth level of superpower. Even if the team recovers to its peak combat strength, they are no match for it."

Shen Tang took the research data handed over by Lu Xiao. The last page contained a photo of the mutated monster.

Inside the laboratory's glass chamber, a massive creature nearly five meters tall floated silently in a pale green liquid.

Its body is pieced together from the features of hundreds of creatures. Its claws are so sharp they can tear through steel. It has eyes of different creatures on its head and abdomen, and can twist 360 degrees. Its body is covered with translucent scales, and you can vaguely see the writhing blood vessels and organs underneath. The organs are twisted and strangely connected together, making you lose sanity just looking at it!
"What's the highest win rate for this monster?" Shen Tang felt a chill run down his spine and almost cursed.

Lu Xiao looked at her silently, then parted his lips slightly.

"One percent."

"..." Shen Tang felt very sorry, but she was not one to seek death. If she really couldn't win, she could only give up.

Shen Tang had no use for these crystal cores, so she simply gave them all to Lu Xiao to improve his favor.

"Keep these crystal cores; they're not of much use to me anyway. You can distribute them to your team members; it will increase our chances of escaping the contaminated zone."

Lu Xiao looked at her with a puzzled expression, but ultimately did not refuse and accepted it.

"The whole team will be resting tonight and will depart tomorrow morning. You can rest in this workshop tonight."

Before leaving, Lu Xiao said to her, "Thank you."

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Lu Xiao's favorability has increased by 10! Please keep up the good work!]

Shen Tang looked out the narrow window. The sky was gray and shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

Exhausted, she found a few mattresses stacked together in a corner, collapsed, and fell into a deep sleep.

While half asleep, Shen Tang heard a low growl from some kind of creature.

At first she didn't pay attention, but gradually, the strange growls grew louder and more frequent.

Shen Tang woke up from a nightmare, her head covered in sweat.

She got up, opened the door, and went out of the room, only to find that several orcs had also woken up.

They lay on the ground or in a corner, yawning lazily, clearly used to it.

Shen Tang looked down at the ground and could clearly feel that the sound was coming from underground—the monster had awakened?
Seeing that no one seemed to care, the monster probably couldn't escape, right?
Shen Tang comforted herself in this way and went back to her room to continue sleeping, but the sound kept coming, disturbing her and filling her with an unknown fear.

She couldn't take it anymore and decided to go find Lu Xiao.

Just opened the door.

boom!
Boom boom——

A series of cracking sounds came from deep underground, and the entire factory teetered on the brink of collapse.

The orcs inside the factory were all awakened.

Someone shouted,
"Run! The monster has charged out!"

Shen Tang's face turned ashen as she ran wildly after the orcs. Her obese body was panting heavily as she ran, and she was left far behind at the back of the group.

Just as she was about to escape the factory gate, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced inside. The elevator entrance connecting to the underground laboratory had been blown open, and a huge creature covered in tubes crawled out of the broken elevator entrance. It looked exactly like the one she had seen in the picture!
Seeing it with my own eyes sent my blood rushing to my brain, and the sense of horror and fear only increased.

Lu Xiao and some of the orcs were suppressing the monster with firepower, buying time for the others to escape.

Shen Tang had no time to worry about the safety of others. She turned her head and was about to rush out the door when she saw the scene outside the factory, and her pupils suddenly contracted!
The mutated creatures surrounded the factory, a dense swarm of at least a thousand!
"Oh no! These mutants heard the commotion and all came out!" "We're surrounded by enemies, we're really doomed this time."

"Never mind, we have no way out. We'll fight our way out!"

Swords, spears, fire, and cannon fire filled the air.

When the orcs ran out of bullets, they transformed into their beast forms and fought against the mutated creatures outside the factory.

Before, they would have been no match for them. But tonight, after eating and drinking their fill and recovering their strength, and with the energy provided by the crystal cores, their combat power returned to its peak. They were able to fight the mutated creatures to a standstill and did not fall behind.

However, the situation on Lu Xiao's side was not good. The experimental monster seemed to be unaware of pain, and bullets were completely ineffective against it.

A fifth-tier orc transformed into its beast form, suddenly brandishing its sharp claws and launching a sneak attack on its back.

The next second, the dozen or so eyeballs on the top of the monster's head suddenly turned around and discovered the orc's attack. Then, a huge mouth full of sharp teeth split open on its back and bit the orc's body in two, blood spurting out!

Shen Tang felt nauseous after reading it.

Within minutes, two more orcs were swallowed by the monster.

No, we can't wait any longer. Although the beastmen have the energy supply from the crystal cores and can fight a protracted war against the mutants outside, even if there are many mutants, they still have a chance to break through and survive.

But the monster inside the factory was too powerful. It couldn't wait three days. Today, it was enough to wipe them out!

Shen Tang's mind raced, and she came up with a plan. She shouted loudly in the direction of Lu Xiao and the others, "Lure this monster outside!"

The orcs present, upon hearing her voice, cursed inwardly: "Has this fat woman gone mad?!"

Higher-level mutants can control lower-level mutants. They even suspect that the group of mutants outside was lured here by this monster. Shen Tang actually wants to release "King". Once they unite, wouldn't that make them die even faster?
Lu Xiao didn't understand what Shen Tang was trying to do, but recalling her firm gaze tonight, he inexplicably felt a wavering in his heart.

He transformed into his true form, a golden eagle with wingspan comparable to the size of the experimental subject. Its sharp talons, carrying powerful wind blades, fiercely tore through the experimental subject's scales, causing pale blue blood to flow out.

"Roar!!!"

The experimental subject was instantly enraged and unleashed a sharp sonic attack.

The weaker orcs were blasted away by the invisible sonic waves, crashing into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The experimental subject had bloodshot eyes and chased after the golden eagle.

Lu Xiao swooped down towards the gate, and as he passed Shen Tang, he grabbed her with his claws and flew her outside.

Shen Tang quickly took out the blue potion from his pocket, "Pour this on the test subject!"

"What is this?" Golden Eagle spoke in human language, his voice hoarse and tinged with blood amidst the howling wind.

Shen Tang said, "This is a berserker drug. The scent it emits has a hallucinogenic and disorienting effect on polluted creatures, causing them to go berserk and frantically attack the source of the scent!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Xiao's hawk-like eyes; he hadn't expected her to have this.

He did not question the accuracy of her words. He grabbed the potion from her hand with his other paw, flipped his wings, turned around and swooped down. When he was less than ten meters away from the test subject, he released the potion.

The potion struck the monster's scales with a loud "bang!" The translucent scales were sharper than a blade, and the glass bottle shattered instantly, spilling pale blue liquid.
