Ark Chess Player.

Tiny cracks appeared in Lada's tiny world.

In this hellish life, the only people I can trust are Anna and Sonia.

It was Anna who found her as she gradually broke down in a dark corner, and it was Sonia who stayed up all night to protect them in the messy classroom.

Now, there's another person I can trust, Sister Rosalyn.

To protect Rada, Rosalind fearlessly confronted the monster, and before her stood a figure worthy of entrusting everything to.

Now is the time for Rada to repay them. She will not be afraid; she will protect everyone.

"—!"

Rada stopped crawling. She heard a faint sound, not like the footsteps of a slime monster, but like the sound of a timer counting down.

The girl held her breath, carefully shrank her body, and cautiously gripped the frying pan.

The next moment, a deafening explosion roared from outside the factory! A huge gap was blasted through the walls, and burning bricks slammed into the automated workshop equipment with muffled thuds. At the breach in the wall, the headless monster collapsed heavily onto the rubble-strewn floor. Several seconds passed before deep purple blood oozed from its charred remains, filling the surrounding air with a stench.

The firelight illuminated the dark factory, the pale face of Rada who had witnessed something horrifying, and the other monster hanging from the ceiling that had been following her.

The gaunt monster, covered in thorns and blades all over its body, used the sharp claws at the tips of its limbs to pierce the walls, moving like a spider through dark corners unimaginable to ordinary people.

Like observing the prey entangled in a spider web struggling before its death, it waited quietly, toying with it, anticipating what kind of expression the girl would make.

Now it sees it, it has gotten what it wanted, and it is satisfied.

Now, it's time to enjoy the prey.

Chapter 104 The Mischievous Kids

"His-"

A monster covered in bone blades hung from the ceiling, its long, scalpel-like arms slicing through the walls as easily as tofu. The greyish-white bone blades, illuminated by the firelight, reflected in the girl's trembling eyes. It reveled in the girl's fear as it attacked the girl crouching on the ground.

Rada's throat was too sore to make a sound. If it weren't for the sudden explosion, she would never have realized that a monster had been following her. But even if she had, what could she have done? She was so weak, she couldn't do anything, she… No, she couldn't think like that!

Lada suddenly opened his eyes wide, picked up the frying pan, and stood up.

She had to overcome her fear, and even if she were to die, she would do everything in her power to buy time for her sisters.

Rada can protect everyone!

The unwavering determination overcame the fear, and the numbness in my lower back seemed to regain its strength.

The gaunt, monstrous figure drew ever closer. Rada gripped the handle of the frying pan tightly, his orange eyes, brimming with tears, held only unwavering resolve.

Perhaps it was because of her Ursus bloodline, perhaps because she was inherently exceptional, or perhaps she was simply blinded by insecurity and unable to see herself.

The moment Rada made up her mind, she could hear a roar coming from within her, a cry of defiance against endless oppression.

Flipping the frying pan with Lada is like cooking!

"Ula!"

The girl's small body unleashed incredible strength, dodging the claws that nearly pierced her head, while simultaneously flipping a frying pan and smashing it into the monster's head.

The first time.

The power of bears!

The gaunt monster was nearly knocked over in mid-air. The thick frying pan in Rada's hand reflected the monster's face. She was just a hair's breadth away from dodging it while attacking.

The monster's spiked body crashed into Rada, sending the girl rolling three or four meters across the ground.

The lacerated skin tore open further as the person fell, and warm blood seeped from the wound, staining their clothes red.

Lada braced herself on the ground with both hands, her whole body seemingly aching, but she still managed to get up, stubborn as a bear cub.

"Ula!!"

Rada charged at the monster, her voice hoarse as if sand were rubbing against each other. The scout instructor's voice seemed to echo in her ears, telling her how to take the first step in close combat, how to wield any tool at hand, and how to look into the opponent's eyes to observe their next move.

"call--"

She instinctively crouched down, successfully dodging the monster's claws that could pierce through walls, and fearlessly slipped into its spiked arms, raising her frying pan!

The second time.

The monster's face was deeply embedded in the frying pan, even piercing the bottom, with fragments flying everywhere, showing how much force she used.

This utensils, readily available in Ursus Department Store, achieved the ultimate feat, striking the face of the ruthless monster twice in succession.

"Haa...haa!!"

The Ursus bloodline burned fiercely within Rada. The little bear cub was covered in wounds from countless thorns, even her dress was soaked with blood, but this time she did not shed a tear because of the pain. Ursus people can bleed, but they cannot cry; the golden spirit was perfectly embodied in the girl.

Rada lifted the deformed frying pan, flipped it over, and started cooking.

The stunned monster slowly retreated, seemingly not expecting the girl to launch a near-suicidal attack, recklessly burrowing into it.

But it doesn't matter. Monsters are called monsters precisely because they have abilities that ordinary people cannot understand.

The gaunt monster watched the girl running towards him, then deliberately took a few steps back, while slightly raising his arms, his five fingers, sharp as blades, pointing forward.

Lada seemed oblivious to the monster's intentions, continuing to charge forward, completely unaware that his death was imminent.

The moment the girl fell into the predator's range, the monster suddenly stretched out its sharp claws, its blade-like knuckles falling off one by one, and attacked Rada!

"Well!"

Rada's breath caught in his throat as he watched helplessly as the grayish-white bone blade hurtled towards him!

At her current speed, it's like she's walking straight into a knife's edge; she has no chance to avoid it.

At the critical moment, a sharp, cold wind swept across the ground, swirling up countless pages of paper. As the wind passed, the monster was astonished to find its body becoming incredibly sluggish, and even its outstretched claws seemed to be held back by an invisible force, its flight speed reduced to a visible range.

Lada stared blankly at the bone blade that was locked on, then quickly reacted and barely managed to dodge it.

The pale bone blades slashed past the girl's body, disappearing from the spell's range like streaks of light before crashing heavily to the ground in the distance, carving small, cratered holes in the floor. Shards flew, dust scattered; if those ten bone blades had hit Rada, they would likely have instantly turned the girl into mincemeat.

"Power and glory!!"

The black shadow slashed through the air, smashing the back of the gaunt monster's head, denting most of it, and causing its upper body to tilt sharply towards the ground.

Rada's gaze fell behind the monster, and two familiar figures came into view. The girl's eyes, which had been holding back tears, instantly welled up with tears.

Anna clutched the red-covered book that symbolized truth, her invisible magic restraining the monster's body, giving it no chance to raise its hand.

Sonia clutched her arm, which was a little weak from throwing the shield with all her might, and her gaze fell on Rada's wounds as she roared.

"Ula!!"

That's all she needed to say.

Lada heard her voice and understood what she meant.

Despite the excruciating pain of his wounds, which felt like they were burning, Rada wore an incredibly bright smile.

"Ula!!!"

The girl let out a loud battle cry and charged forward with all her might, leaving bloody footprints on the ground with every step.

She stepped into the realm of literary storms, and a gentle breeze caressed her, sweeping away her pain and weariness.

Rada twisted his wrist, raised his arm, and slammed the side of the frying pan into the monster's head with all his might.

The third time.

—Lada is a skilled cook, and she has a habit.

When cutting something, only make two cuts. If you make a third cut...

It will cut the cutting board and the kitchen countertop together.

"--Bang!!"

It's hard to imagine that this is the sound of a frying pan hitting a skull. An uninformed person would think that there was a gas explosion in the kitchen. The sound was muffled and powerful.

The emaciated monster's body trembled violently, and a strange mixture of red, white, gray, and black liquid seeped from the gash that had been cut open. It continued to tremble until everything in its brain was squeezed out, at which point it stopped moving and collapsed heavily to the ground.

The curved frying pan was almost half-embedded in the monster's head, and it looked like it couldn't be pulled out.

But pulling it out was useless; Rada couldn't swing it a fourth time.

Fortunately, she didn't need to swing a fourth time.

Sonia gently put her arm around Rada's shoulder, her hands trembling. Even when facing these grotesque monsters, she had never been afraid. But now she was truly terrified. She was afraid that this silly girl who was always smiling would leave her like this. She had had enough of this nightmare.

"Hey hey hey..."

Rada rested his head on Winter's body, grinning foolishly.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Sister Sonia, it's so soft."

"I don't have any excess fat."

"Hey hey hey."

-

Lada has a habit.

Upon seeing Sonia and Anna, all habits ceased to be habits.

Chapter 105 Jie-ge, I want more!

"Doctor, those children dealt with the monster themselves."

Anemone glanced at the food processing plant, her bright eyes rapidly processing data as she analyzed the survivors' vital signs.

Of the three children who fought the monster, two were unharmed, and only one was injured. Fortunately, the wound was minor and could be treated.

"Doctor, you're really lame. Look, they're even faster at dealing with monsters than you. Can you be any more embarrassing? Forget it, why don't you just go and assist them? Maybe they can take care of this one while they're at it." Silver Lotus looked at Lin Lu with disdain, her tone full of contempt, almost as if she was about to give him a friendly gesture.

"From what you're saying, you seem very brave?"

"I'm super brave."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Lin Lu rolled his eyes at the silver lotus flower, then turned his attention to the slime monster in front of him.

The silt on its body seemed to never run out, constantly gushing out and soon covering the ground with a layer of sticky mud.

At first, the monster's outline could still be barely discerned, but now it was like a clay giant, growing from two meters tall to three meters, four meters, and constantly expanding.

The werewolves or monsters with arms like iron spears that Lin Lu had seen before were not as oppressive as the monster before him. This guy seemed to be the one who had devoured the most Originium among these monsters, emerging victorious from the fierce competition and constantly evolving.

If Lin Lu hadn't lured the slime monster away, the kids would have been in danger.

"Still can't analyze the data?" Lin Lu asked in a deep voice.

"Uh……"

This time, it was Anemone's turn to be speechless. She awkwardly shifted her gaze, muttering, "Even a super AI has things it can't do. Not everyone can be as perfect as the Doctor. If it can't be done, it can't be done." Her excuses sounded like a primary school student making excuses.

"In that case, those children are in your care. Don't hesitate to use Noah's weapons when necessary; even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

Lin Lu said helplessly that after jumping off the Noah motorcycle, his leg, which had been almost broken, had recovered, but it was still a little sore.

Monsters are called monsters precisely because they possess abilities that ordinary people cannot understand, and Lin Lu is no exception.

"And this, take it with you."

Lin Lu took out a first-aid spray from under his black trench coat and hung it on the front of Noah's motorcycle.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but the only first-aid supplies he had were manufactured by Rhine Life.

When Lin Lu questioned Kroos about why Rhodes Island had the capability to independently develop Originium fragmentation grenades but not medical supplies, the unscrupulous businessman was also puzzled. As a pharmaceutical company, how could it be lagging behind in producing emergency medical supplies? Was Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals really capable of doing everything except manufacturing pharmaceuticals?

"I know, I know."

Anemone muttered to herself as the virtual humanoid figure, visible only within the Spirit Realm's field of vision, took over the Noah Heavy Machinery and drove towards the food processing plant.

Those kids probably thought they were seeing a ghost when they saw an unmanned heavy motorcycle.

"...So, how do you want to die?"

Lin Lu turned around and looked up at the slime monster with a disdainful tone, as if he was bothered by what the anemone had said earlier.

He's not that petty.
