Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Chapter 37: Crisis

"The Energy Core is stored in the deepest level of the underground laboratory, but there’s an extremely powerful mutant creature imprisoned there. It’s a monster artificially created by the lab, with energy levels measured to reach the Tenth Rank Superpower. Even if the team regains peak combat strength, combined, they are no match for it."

Shen Tang took the research materials handed over by Lu Xiao, the last page showing a photo of the mutated monster.

Inside the lab’s glass pod, a massive creature nearly five meters tall hovered quietly in pale green liquid.

Its body was pieced together from hundreds of biological traits, its claws sharp enough to tear steel apart, different creatures’ eyes growing on its head and abdomen, able to swivel 360 degrees, its body covered with translucent scales, faintly showing writhing blood vessels and twisted, bizarrely connected organs underneath—just looking at it was a sanity-dropping experience!

"This monster... What’s the highest win rate?" Shen Tang looked at it with a chill running down her spine, almost swearing.

Lu Xiao looked at her silently, mouth lightly opened,

"Ten percent."

"..." Shen Tang felt it was such a pity, but she wasn’t a person who courted death; if it’s truly unbeatable, she’d have to give it up.

Shen Tang had no use for these Crystal Cores, so she decided to give them all to Lu Xiao to boost affinity.

"You should take these Crystal Cores. I have little use for them anyway. You can distribute them to your subordinates, increasing our chances of escaping the polluted zone."

Lu Xiao looked at her puzzled, but ultimately didn’t refuse and accepted them.

"The whole team will rest tonight, and we’ll set off tomorrow morning. You can rest here in the workshop tonight."

Before leaving, Lu Xiao said to her, "Thanks."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Lu Xiao’s affinity +10! Keep up the good work!]

Shen Tang looked towards the narrow window; the sky was gray and foggy, making it hard to tell whether it was day or night.

Exhausted mentally and physically, she found a few mattresses in the corner stacked together and fell asleep on them.

Half-asleep, Shen Tang heard some kind of low growl from a creature.

Initially, she didn’t pay attention, but gradually, the strange growling got louder, and the frequency increased.

Shen Tang awoke in terror from a nightmare, drenched in sweat.

She got up, opened the door, and walked out of the room, finding several Beastmen awake too.

They lay on the ground or in corners, yawning lazily, apparently accustomed to it.

Shen Tang looked towards the ground, clearly feeling the sound coming from below—the monster had awakened?

Seeing everyone unconcerned, the monster probably couldn’t escape, right?

Shen Tang comforted herself and returned to the room intending to sleep again, but the sound persisted, annoying her immensely, with an unknown fear looming in her heart.

Unable to endure it, she planned to find Lu Xiao.

She just opened the door.

Bang!

Boom boom—

Explosions sounded from the depths underground, making the whole factory sway.

The Beastmen in the factory were all awakened.

Someone shouted,

"Run, the monster has broken out!"

Shen Tang’s face turned pale and she ran after the Beastmen, panting heavily, left far behind at the end of the team.
