Excessive ferocity due to caution

At this moment, the two of them looked exactly like wolves in sheep's clothing... oh no, sheep in wolf's clothing.

Yang Linlin knew that once the monsters discovered their disguise, they would be torn to shreds in an instant!

The strong smell of blood and monster skin masked the body odor of the two men.

The moment the cafeteria door was opened, thousands of grotesquely distorted demons and monsters turned to look at the sound.

They were oddly shaped and dressed in flamboyant attire.

Under the gaze of so many terrifying eyes, Yang Linlin's legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground!

She grabbed Zhao Yi's arm, barely managing to stand.

Some monsters looked at the two with suspicion, as if they thought the two were of the same kind, but not entirely the same.

So they slowly walked towards the two of them, wanting to test them.

Seeing these demons and monsters approaching, Yang Linlin's legs trembled even more violently!

Unlike Yang Linlin, Zhao Yi seemed unusually excited. He even dragged Yang Linlin forward to the monsters and imitated their panting sounds.

These man-made terrifying monsters, though extremely aggressive, are all targeted at humans.

They are actually very tolerant of their own kind.

"&……%@##￥."

One of the girls, with bone spikes on her head and half her face mangled, made a strange sound and gestured wildly, as if asking Zhao Yi something.

"&……%@##￥."

Zhao Yi imitated the sounds and movements she made perfectly, word for word.

After several rounds, the girl and her "friends" seemed to finally realize that their kind was an emotionless repeater, so they lost interest in Zhao Yi and Yang Linlin and dispersed.

After they left, Yang Linlin realized with a start that her back was covered in cold sweat!

That was really close!

Zhao Yi... he never follows the usual path!

She had imagined many ways Zhao Yi would resolve the current crisis, but she never expected... Zhao Yi to just stand here like a broken record!

The amazing thing is that he actually managed to install it!

That's fucking outrageous!

In some respects, Zhao Yi is quite gifted with languages.

Being able to memorize and repeat all those strange notes in one go is indeed a skill!

Without the monsters blocking their way, Zhao Yi led Yang Linlin to wander around the cafeteria for a while. He intentionally observed the monsters' behavior and soon discovered that there were 16 doors in the cafeteria, and no monsters had been going in or out of one of the doors in the far corner.

Furthermore, the other monsters seemed to be quite wary of that door, and they would deliberately avoid it whenever they passed by it!

These actions piqued Zhao Yi's interest in the door in the cafeteria!

What lies behind that door?

It actually frightened even these ferocious monsters!

However, given the current situation, he cannot go through that door for the time being.

Is there any key information left to explore in the cafeteria area?

Zhao Yi's gaze was fixed on the several rotting corpses that had been eaten, and he noticed some scattered manuscripts in their clothes.

He wanted to collect these manuscripts.

Some monsters, thinking he also wanted to eat meat, actually made room for him.

Zhao Yi, however, does not eat human flesh.

But as a small gesture of respect, he picked up some maggots, put them in his mouth, and swallowed them.

This scene almost made Yang Linlin, who was not far away, vomit!

The viewers in the live stream were thoroughly entertained!

Seeing that Zhao Yi had eaten, their remaining suspicions about him disappeared, making it much easier for Zhao Yi to collect those manuscripts!

These manuscripts mostly contained records of experimental data, which were of little value to the two of them.

However, Zhao Yi keenly noticed a piece of paper tucked inside one of the pink manuscripts.

Because Guxuan Town was mentioned above.

It's Guxuan Town again!

Zhao's eyelids suddenly jumped up, and he quickly unfolded the letter.

...

[X-2 fusion failed; the department received a destruction order.]

Everyone is very unwilling to accept this outcome. They've worked so hard for so many years, only to end up like this!

No one is willing to accept this...

[The theoretical data perfectly matches... why... why!]

Could it be that... the Shishan Experimental Base will repeat the mistakes of Guxuan Town many years ago?

We are not afraid of death!

But... we cannot tolerate failure!

The mayor ordered us to take the experimental data and leave the Shishan experimental base. They said they would find a way to destroy everything related to Shishan.

But we are not resigned to this...

Tonight, we'll give it our all one last time!

...

After Zhao Yi discovered the paper, the two of them immediately heard a system notification.

Congratulations to players Zhao Yi and Yang Linlin!

[Hidden Mission - Investigating the Truth Behind Ishiyama High School Completed!]

[The mission rewards will be distributed after the main storyline mission is completed!]

...

The note proved Zhao Yi's conjecture—Shishan University was built as an experimental base, and the outstanding students gathered from all over City A were merely experimental subjects provided to the base!

The two will receive generous rewards upon completing the hidden quest.

It's safe to say that even if the two of them die and return to the guild headquarters now, they've already made a huge profit!

In the past, Yang Linlin would have been overjoyed and dancing with excitement.

But now, she only feels cold in her hands and feet, and her whole body is cold!

The monsters in this cafeteria were once bright and beautiful students who had worked hard and sweated to get into this university, full of dreams. Little did they know that they would enter a terrifying man-made hell!

She couldn't imagine how desperate these students must have felt when they were sent to the lab and faced all sorts of cruel treatment!

Zhao Yi stared at the note in a daze for a moment.

He remembered seeing a twisted, dark shadow under the eaves as he was about to walk out of the door in the Colossus Hospital instance!

Judging from the note, the dark figure might be X-1?

But... why would it appear at the Colossus Hospital?

Could it be that Colossus Hospital is also...?

As Zhao Yi was deep in thought, Yang Linlin leaned close to him and asked in an almost inaudible whisper:

"Zhao Yi, what should we do about the curse?"

She was now almost certain that as long as they continued to stay in this experimental base, the main quest would be completed easily!

But based on Yang Linlin's understanding of Zhao Yi, this restless guy would never be content with the status quo.

He won't stop until he turns this instance upside down!

Moreover, she desperately wanted to destroy this place filled with sin and bloodshed!
