Game Invasion: A new term for each level

Chapter 200 Glorious Evolution!

Yang Hui led the way, and the group slowly walked down the anti-slip steel steps.

The cold white light reflected off the metal wall, casting a blinding white glow that made everyone's faces appear deathly pale.

As they turned the first corner and entered the main corridor, everyone's breath caught in their throats.

"What the hell is this?!" Yan Yiming couldn't help but gag, clutching Yang Hui's clothes tightly.

Dozens of corpses lay scattered haphazardly in the hundred-meter-long corridor.

The corpses were wearing stab-proof vests bearing the Unicorn Company logo, but the parts above the neck were extremely bizarre.

Some have huge monkey heads, some have ferocious tiger and leopard heads sewn on, and one even has a pangolin head covered in scales on a human torso.

These people's bodies were torn into pieces by sharp claws, or burned to charcoal by violent lightning, their deaths were extremely gruesome.

The walls were covered with deep claw marks, and the alloy wall surface was torn off like paper.

"It was Lion King who did it." Old Gu squatted beside a corpse, looking at the smooth fracture with cold eyes. "It was venting its anger. These—are all experimental products of Unicorn Corporation. The entries for awakened non-human species don't look like this."

Yang Hui had seen the entry about awakening and changing the human species. Their bodies would also undergo mutations. Rabbit Three Girl was all furry, like a large rabbit. Zabu was the same, like a lizardman who had walked out of a fantasy novel.

These corpses lying in the corridor only had animal heads; below their necks, they were no different from humans!

Zheng Chong stared at the monsters with human bodies and animal heads, veins bulging on his forehead. He slammed his fist against the wall and yelled, "To hell with 300!"

"Damn it! That bastard Manager Sun told us this was just a simple game instance! This is clearly Unicorn Corporation's underground lab! Are we here to clean up their mess? Or to become living sacrifices?"

Duan Fan clutched his wounded shoulder, his face so dark it seemed to drip water: "Manager Sun said this was the last chance to pull off this scheme; if it failed, he'd go back to his hometown to grow potatoes. Now it seems he's not afraid of growing potatoes, he's afraid these inhumane schemes will be exposed! I don't know what's going on with Unicorn Company, but Manager Sun will definitely be purged!"

"We've been tricked." Yang Hui's voice was as deep as a stone at the bottom of water: "The Lion King's rampage just now wasn't aimed at us at all. It was looking for an exit, or rather... looking for the enemy who took everything from it."

Old Gu suddenly remembered something: "When I was gathering intelligence, I learned that the Golden Mane Valley in the North City Wildlife Park had a new cub two months ago! But we haven't seen it. Could it have been captured by Unicorn Company? That's why the Lion King is behaving so strangely."

"Very likely!" Yang Hui carefully recalled the Lion King's actions and agreed with this view!

Just then, the display screen at the end of the corridor lit up, and after a buzzing sound of electricity, Manager Sun's hypocritical face reappeared.

At this moment, the panic in his eyes was gone; instead, he stared intently at Yang Hui, his eyes filled with a morbid excitement.

"Brilliant! It's simply art!" Manager Sun clapped his hands wildly in the monitoring room. "Yang Hui, I take back what I said in front of the zoo. Your strength is far superior to those trash from the Northern Storm."

"The golden lightning we just unleashed was such a pure energy source, it was truly a gift from heaven! Do you know how much equipment we used to collect the Lion King's lightning power? And you, all by yourself, are worth all our previous efforts!"

"Manager Sun, how do you explain these corpses?" Yan Yiming roared, pointing at the deformed children scattered on the ground.

"Explanation? This is great evolution! It's just the necessity of scientific experimentation." Manager Sun laughed wildly, pointing off the screen: "What's a little sacrifice if it can awaken the experimental subject? Originally, the Lion King's heart was the best fuel, but now, with the thunderous energy you unleashed, that beast's life is no longer important!"

The surveillance footage then shifted, revealing the scene at the end of the corridor: a circular hall embedded in the rock strata, with water droplets seeping through the concrete walls.

A cylindrical nutrient dome stands in the center of the field. The dome is semi-transparent, and a pale yellow liquid is circulating inside.

The lion cub floated in the middle of the liquid, its limbs outstretched, no longer twitching, its chest and abdomen remaining still. Several thin tubes were still connected, but the waveform on the monitor had become a straight line.

The lion king lay beside the enclosure, desperately pounding on the alloy base, letting out mournful cries.

It pressed its head against the cover, its forehead against the wall, its intact forepaw still patting, and then licked itself twice with its barbed tongue. Its body was bleeding continuously, and its broken leg was hanging behind it.

"It sensed the presence of the cubs," Old Gu said in a deep voice, "but they had clearly already been dissected; they obtained the genetic technology."

"Yang Hui, I'll give you a chance." Manager Sun's voice became extremely arrogant, a sinister light flashing in his eyes. "Bring your men into the arena. As long as you cooperate with us to complete the final energy infusion, 300 million will be yours immediately! That's enough for you to squander your entire lives in Beicheng, without having to risk your lives in these hellish dungeons anymore!"

That's obviously a lie. Manager Sun just wanted to lure them into the venue as well. He thought that Lion King would fight back fiercely, and that both sides would fight to the death so he could reap the benefits!

Yang Hui looked at the distorted face on the screen, then at the inhuman, substandard experimental subjects, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"300 million, that sounds like a lot?" Yang Hui said, cracking his wrists as he popped a throat lozenge into his mouth.

In his eyes, the dark golden light began to surge once again.

"Right! 300 million! How long will it take you to earn that? By relying on the management bureau?"

Manager Sun was very confident; he believed that no one could resist the temptation of money.

"You should keep this 300 million to buy yourself a solid gold coffin."

He raised his hand and delivered a powerful punch, directly striking the dense array of energy transmission pipes on the ceiling.

His right fist followed immediately!

With that punch, the power supply to the entire corridor emitted a loud, strained roar.

Then he swung his left and right fists back and forth, crackling with tiny golden arcs of electricity.

"Yang Hui! You've already chosen your own death!" Manager Sun gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

The assistant wanted to dissuade him from stopping, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Manager Sun whirled around, grabbed a researcher by the collar, and yelled, "Where's your stitched-together animal?! Let it out! I'm going to kill them!"

The researchers shook their heads repeatedly, saying, "If we let it out, we'll all die! We simply can't control it."

"If it doesn't come out and take care of these people, you'll be next! If things get out, do you think the Management Bureau will let you off the hook?"

He knew Unicorn's ways; if the Administration found out, they would immediately cut ties and claim it was his sole decision! Unicorn was completely unaware.

That's how it is with those in the upper echelons: the winners get promoted and receive raises, while the losers are pushed out to take the blame!

But the Administration Bureau wasn't stupid. They eventually managed to extract resources from Unicorn Company, which pleased the Administration Bureau as well, and the "instigator" was brought to justice.

Who will have any sympathy for those who work at the bottom of society?

Only by relying on yourself can you forge a path to success!

Manager Sun abruptly shoved the researcher aside, and at that moment his assistant silently handed him a silver box.

The silver box was marked with a danger triangle. After Manager Sun opened it, there was a round button with a skull pattern inside. The button had a cover with some words written on it.

Dangerous experimental subject: Chimera!
