Chapter 921: Survivors

921. Survivors

Lin Ye had only taken a few steps when a giant hand seized his body, but this time, the giant hand didn't take him to plant trees.

The giant hand paused for a moment, then directly crushed his body.

A lump of gray-white brain burst out from the body, and the brain landed on the ground, quickly submerged by a large amount of filaments.

The giant hand didn't chase the brain, but retracted back to the other side.

All the giant hands retracted, and the filaments covering Lin Ye suddenly moved.

Perhaps because the materials used were related to the fruit trees, after alienating, Lin Ye could resist the invasion of these filaments.

'Where should I go now?'

Without an external body, Lin Ye had lost his combat ability and could only slowly wriggle on the ground.

This was probably why those arms had let him go.

Lin Ye's body surface was covered in filaments, which affected his movement to some extent. Fortunately, no more filaments gathered toward him, otherwise he would soon be submerged by them, without even the ability to resist.

'This place is way too big.'

Lin Ye tried to absorb the filaments to continue alienating. He needed the ability to move freely here, otherwise he couldn't crawl out at all.

But as he absorbed more and more filaments, Lin Ye gradually lost control of the brain.

Many strange scenes appeared in his perception.

"What are you?"

A voice interrupted Lin Ye's movements. He had actually heard someone else's voice, even though he was now just a brain, without even ears.

There was something wrong with these filaments. They were very likely part of some entity.

Realizing his current situation, Lin Ye could only use his nerve bundles to destroy himself.

If he waited until the other party took control of the body, it would be too late to try to kill himself.

Just before his consciousness was about to vanish, Lin Ye heard a voice:

"Don't, I'm a researcher from the organization!"

……………………………………………

【Remaining Simulation Attempts: 7】

'…That doesn't feel trustworthy. Compared to a researcher from the organization, the research project is more likely.'

Lin Ye climbed up from the bed and acted according to his previous operations.

He had already understood the Fleshy Monster Main Body's abilities. This time, he planned to directly deal with the Fleshy Monster Main Body and save those researchers.

The situation outside was too troublesome. He needed some reliable help.

But achieving this wouldn't be easy. He needed to find a place that could block the Fleshy Monsters' attacks.

While repeating his previous operations, Lin Ye thought about what he needed to do in this simulation. His luck was terrible this time, and what would happen in the end was hard to say.

Not long after, Lin Ye swallowed the pill and once again became a brain.

Lin Ye followed his previous operations, only saving the survivors worth saving. After saving Zhao Jie, he asked Zhao Jie about a place that could block the Fleshy Monsters.

"A place that can block these monsters? Those facilities for holding anomalous creatures can block these monsters, but I don't have the keys to those places."

Zhao Jie didn't know what Lin Ye was planning, but he still answered Lin Ye's question.

"You mean those prisons? I thought all that equipment was scrapped."

Lin Ye didn't press further. He still had other survivors to save.

Not long after, Lin Ye had saved all the survivors. He directly brought these people to the prison area and chose the largest prison cell.

"We're just going to hide here?"

"Why don't we fight our way out?"

"This feels so stifling. I don't want to wait here to die."

……

The survivors lowered their voices as they complained. Outside the prison cell, Fleshy Monsters quickly crowded the area. If they stayed here the whole time, they might be blocked in and trapped to death.

"Do we really have to keep hiding here?"

Su Yue leaned closer to Lin Ye with some confusion. She didn't think Lin Ye was an idiot, otherwise Lin Ye couldn't possibly have rescued them.

"Yes. Only this way can you survive."

Lin Ye planned to wait until all the duplicates outside were annihilated, then go outside to find and deal with the Monster Main Body.

Only then could these survivors live.

"We don't need to clear out these monsters?"

Zhao Jie also came over. He didn't want to hide here at all.

"Don't waste bullets. These Fleshy Monsters can keep replicating."

Lin Ye held a rifle, his body covered with all kinds of firearms, all of which he had taken from corpses while saving the survivors.

Even if only the Monster Main Body remained, it wasn't something they could casually deal with.

If they weren't careful, in the end Lin Ye might once again be the only one left alive.

After some time, the area outside the prison cell was packed with dense duplicates. These duplicates only knew how to attack the prison compartment door, and simply couldn't break into the cell.

Lin Ye stood somewhat bored inside the prison cell, watching those Fleshy Monsters squeezed into meat patties.

Just then, all the Fleshy Monsters turned into rotting minced meat. Lin Ye abruptly opened the prison compartment door and, following the direction of the energy flow, went outside to find the Monster Main Body that was strengthening itself.

The Monster Main Body was very far from the prison cell. It was hiding in a corner near the Exit. At this moment, the strengthening wasn't over yet. It was in a strengthened state.

Lin Ye emptied his magazine at the Monster Main Body, but all the bullets were blocked outside by the blood-colored shield and couldn't harm the Monster Main Body.

When Lin Ye closed to a certain distance, he suddenly drew his pistol and fired a shot at the Monster Main Body's head.

Just like the previous times, the silver bullet pierced through the Monster Main Body's defense and killed the Monster Main Body while it was strengthening.

This time, Lin Ye didn't put on the Monster Main Body's corpse. Instead, he hid the corpse near the Exit.

"Are you alright?"

Zhao Jie was the first to catch up, with several survivors in better physical condition following behind him.

"I've already dealt with the Monster Main Body. Now I need you to help me find the area where the core project is located, or tell me how to escape."

These survivors had stayed in the research base for a long time. Even if they hadn't come into contact with the area where the core project was located, they had definitely guessed the approximate location of the core project.

"I might know some relevant information, but I don't know if I should trust you."

A survivor suddenly spoke up.

"I'm D-Class personnel sent by the organization. I saved your lives. I dealt with the monsters here. What more do you want from me? Besides, this isn't just about me. If we can't find a way out, we'll all die here."

Lin Ye's expression was extremely sincere as he spoke.

"…Come with me. I know the hidden door leading to the core area, but that place is extremely dangerous. If you don't want to die, you'd best not go there."

That survivor led the way ahead, but the terrain of the research base had changed greatly, so finding the previous location wasn't easy.

"Mm… this should be the place."

After spending about half an hour, the survivor stopped outside a laboratory.
