"You're out of your mind."
Looking at Lamiya gradually enveloped in crimson, Renata turned her head to look at Keith on the deputy console—aside from the main console where she and another B-level researcher were located, only the deputy console where Keith was located could control Lamiya's helmet.
At this moment, Renata's face was filled with anger and shock.
Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, fists clenched. If it weren't for the researchers nearby holding her back, Renata might have already shattered Keith's glasses with a punch.
Renata never expected that this lackey of Changnan Jiangtai would be so bold.
Seeing Renata's angry expression, Keith couldn't help but feel a chill. He knew Renata's temperament, but when he thought of Dr. Changnan Jiangtai's teachings...
"All of this is for the smooth progress of the experiment. The combat data of Containment Item 13 is much more valuable to us than any mushrooms."
"Do you not know that the supervisor values Containment Item 13 very much?"
Although Keith was scared inside, he still pretended to have a "this is for a righteous cause" look.
Seeing Renata's reaction, she couldn't help but say with anger, "Don't you know what the fate of opposing the head of the experiment is?"
"I... I know, but the experiment cannot be terminated. We must continue to record Containment Item 13 and Item 81."
Upon hearing this, Keith's face turned pale, but he still stubbornly said, "After the experiment is over, I will report to the supervisor myself..."
Watching Keith, who seemed completely focused on the experiment, Renata couldn't help but feel a headache. In the end, she reluctantly released her tightly clenched fists.
The people under Dr. Changnan Jiangtai...
Are they all a bunch of madmen who only care about experiments?
On the other side,
Inside Containment Site US-04-81.
The red energy that enveloped Lamiya gradually faded away, revealing her completely new appearance.
At this moment, Lamiya's figure became slender and upright.
The loose patient gown that was originally hanging now clung tightly to her body, exposing the fair legs that were previously hidden in the trousers.
The helmet was still on Lamiya's head, but the black hair under the helmet had become longer and curled, resembling seaweed waves, cascading down to her lower back.
Under the black curls, Lamiya's originally soft facial contours became deeper and more dignified.
The sharp gaze in her dark green eyes, and the confident curve of her red lips, made her look more heroic and alluring.
Lamiya had turned into a mature and elegant woman, roughly in her thirties.
Unlike the first transformation, perhaps because Lamiya transformed into a human this time, she did not immediately lose her sanity.
Her eyes were constantly stinging, and her mind was chaotic.
It was like countless people were whispering in Lamiya's ears, but she couldn't hear a single word.
Fortunately, Lamiya still maintained her sanity.
But just as Lamiya hadn't figured out what she had turned into, an unexpected phrase suddenly came from in front of her...
"Mom... Mother?"
The swamp monster looked at "Lamiya" not far away.
In its crimson eyes, there was a momentary surge of unclear emotions. Then, it lowered its head, unsure of what to do.
Hearing this, Lamiya's eyes widened, and she was momentarily dumbfounded.
Mom?
Wait a minute... Did I become the swamp monster's mom?
What the heck? Is this a plot twist I haven't encountered even after playing the tenth playthrough?
Lamiya was stunned; she had never known that Containment Site US-04-81 had a young and beautiful mom.
Moreover, why would the swamp monster be afraid of her mom?
No, these are not the main points now...
The main point is how does she turn back?
Lamiya looked at the swamp monster with increasingly crimson eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling.
It's said that extreme fear leads to anger.
If Lamiya turned into the swamp monster's mom, and she really appeared as an ordinary human at the moment...
She might not be able to bear the monster's anger.
She didn't want to bear it at all.
Although Lamiya would resurrect in place in her transformed state, the pain was completely unavoidable!
Just watching the protagonist on the screen being digested by the swamp monster was uncomfortable enough for Lamiya; she didn't want to experience it herself.
Moreover... Lamiya's resurrection was in place. According to the swamp monster's style of eating meat without spitting out bones, she probably...
Lamiya dared not think about it. She nervously bit her lower lip, taking light steps backward.
The reason Lamiya was so calm before was because she had experienced these scenes more than once, and the methods to pass through were already familiar to her. But now...
She was somewhat unsure.
However, just as Lamiya seemed to be admitting defeat, the swamp monster suddenly spoke.
"Why... did you do that?"
"I... hate you..."
The swamp monster's voice was extremely hoarse and piercing, but it also carried a hint of sorrow. It seemed that there was an unknown grudge between it and its mom.
Under normal circumstances, Lamiya might have been willing to listen to the swamp monster's past, but now... she just wanted to escape.
Because when the swamp monster lifted its head again, a raging anger had already engulfed its crimson eyes.
Seeing this, Lamiya's face turned pale. She immediately turned her head and ran as fast as she could.
Her tender feet stepped into the muddy swamp.
Following that, there was the sound of mud splashing.
The swamp was exceptionally muddy, and Lamiya walked cautiously, afraid that she would sink in with every step and be unable to pull her foot out.
Feeling the heavy footsteps behind her, Lamiya's heart beat extremely fast, like a drum.
What should I do? What should I do?
Lamiya was extremely anxious, trying to find a way to escape, but she had never experienced these plotlines, completely unprepared.
"Stop, Number 13, ahead is the poisonous swamp area! The plants and swamps there are highly corrosive."
Just then, a familiar female voice suddenly came through Lamiya's earphones, sounding exceptionally anxious, "Run toward the gate!"
Upon hearing this, Lamiya immediately stopped and prepared to run towards the gate.
But immediately, a huge force came from behind, directly sending her flying into the air.
In pain, the pungent smell of gas entered Lamiya's nostrils, gradually making her lose consciousness...
...
It's unclear how much time passed, and Lamiya woke up in the midst of the all-over pain. She was now lying in a muddy purple swamp.
The purple mud with a pungent odor touched her skin, causing a tingling pain. Obviously, she had been thrown into the highly corrosive poisonous swamp.
At this moment, Lamiya had turned back to her original appearance, but not far away, the swamp monster still showed no signs of stopping, steadily moving towards her.
Seeing this situation, waves of dizziness and despair surged into Lamiya's heart.
The tiredness gradually overwhelmed her body, making Lamiya's eyes hazy. One of her hands hung weakly by her side on the soft mud.
The slight pain in her hand came, but the intense pain all over her body made Lamiya, who had been severely beaten, even unable to lift her arm.
How unlucky...
Who would have thought that such a terrifying containment item would be most afraid of an ordinary woman...
Is this my fate as cannon fodder?
Lamiya seemed to be sighing about her own misery and self-mockery.
Her fist tightened slightly, completely ignoring the corrosiveness above, grabbing a handful of the purple poisonous mud. Her fair little hand was burned with wounds...
Lamiya's eyes dimmed.
But the swollen lower lip, bitten by herself, represented her inner unwillingness.
Mud...
Wait a minute... Mud?
Suddenly, Lamiya sat up and looked at the mud in her hand.
She seemed to have thought of a solution!
