Era of Disaster

Chapter 65: LV2 Metamorphose Stage

The bullet actually got bounced back!

Astonishment flashed through Hong Qi Hua's eyes. One must know that the place she aimed for just now was the head! In the end, just like Bai Yi said, as the physical body gets stronger, these originally lethal weapons to living things on Earth would become more and more ineffective. However, this didn't seem to be something that normal lifeforms could achieve, at least, Hong Qi Hua knew that there wasn't anybody in her team that could repel a bullet.

However, even though the bullets got repelled by Bentham, Bai Yi's strike couldn't be underestimated. With the help of the rotational force, the sword sliced into Bentham's calf, eliciting an ear-piercing cry from him. The sharp broadsword along with Bai Yi's current strength could cause greater damage than a normal bullet.

"AOWWWWWW!" Bentham roared in pain, and two of his arms reached towards Bai Yi.

Bai Yi immediately flipped backwards, and the broadsword sliced across Bentham's palm again. This time, Bai Yi's broadsword vibrated continuously, not letting Bentham catch his sword easily again. Heloise hid in a corner with her sniper rifle the moment the battle started. She hadn't fired recklessly since the start of the battle, but she squeezed the trigger without any hesitation now.

Bentham had his mouth wide open from the scream!

The high-speed bullet spun quickly and headed for Bentham's mouth, but at this moment he suddenly glanced in Heloise's direction. His mouth that was already wide open opened even wider.

Looking for death?

Heloise suddenly had this thought flash across her mind, but in the next moment an intense soundwave exploded from Bentham's mouth. Everyone could see that the air shook to the point that invisible ripples appeared, and the sniper bullet started to slow down visibly, stop, and shot out backwards.

With a loud buzz, everyone could feel an explosion in their heads, making them feel dizzy and disorientated.

After a few seconds, the powerful soundwave attack stopped. There wasn't anybody near Bentham anymore. Everyone had run and hid somewhere in that moment.

Bai Yi hid behind the platform and touched his nose, discovering a trail of blood coming from it. Just now the immense impact to his chest already injured his heart, and the genes that Bai Yi fused with was only a butterfly. His body constitution was actually a level worse than the others, so after suffering the shock wave, his nose started to bleed. This wasn't a good sign. It only meant that Bai Yi's internal organs were starting to crumble.

At this time, Martin and Heloise weren't better off. Martin was caught in Bentham's hands, so he was the closest to the soundwave and Heloise just happened to be in the direction of Bentham's soundwave attack. Blood not only came out from their noses but also seeped out slowly from their eyes and ears.

This was definitely not something an ordinary soundwave could do!

LV2 - Metamorphose Stage! The production of an absolute lifefield and the ability to control the body's special energy!

No wonder even somebody like Yu Han was willing to become a lackey. At a time like this, it was an overwhelming strength.

In addition to being stunned by the soundwave, Bentham's battle power far exceeded everyone's expectations, thoroughly shocking everyone. This caused all of them to immediately stop their initially chaotic battle.

Everyone in Bai Yi's team hid in some corner, and Bai Yi breathed heavily in his hiding spot. How can we deal with a guy like this? At this moment, sparks suddenly burst out from the control panel which was damaged from the gunshots. It then exploded with a soft 'bang!', producing a cloud of black smoke. This kind of a small explosion didn't cause harm to any of them, so nobody really minded it.

Only Yeye suddenly looked alarmed, and revealed a smile.

Hehehehe, this is interesting. That control panel controls all the prison cells in the first level of the circular walkways, its role was to make it more convenient for the researchers to release the monsters to conduct experiments. Now that it got destroyed, all the locks of the prison cells in the first floor lost its functionality.

The doors of the prison cells hadn't been opened yet, but in reality, it had already lost its function.

Bentham saw the dying look of Martin in his hands, and revealed a mocking smile. He then grabbed Martin and returned to the observation deck.

Bentham said that he wanted to make Martin go to the platform to fight with the gene-fused monsters, but in reality, he didn't know how to operate the controls. In the end, he was just an experimental subject. However, there didn't seem to be a need for it now. After the experimental monsters fused with the activated cells, their intelligence was not bad at all. After the first one discovered that the prison door wasn't locked anymore, many others followed and gradually walked out from their prison cells.

The two groups were still standing off against each other, but suddenly all of them had to be on guard against a third party. A bone-thin tiger with saliva dripping from its mouth walked out from the prison cell. In the distance, many other experimental monsters continuously walked out from the prison cells.

Yeye was probably the only who knew how many monsters were trapped in this research facility, but in this layer alone there were probably at least hundreds.

The most important thing was that the experimental monsters had been starving for more than a month!

"ROARRRR!!" One of the gene-fused monsters roared loudly, and immediately as if it were a signal, all the monsters rushed at each other. At this time, there was only a single thought in their heads… Tear apart all other living things and consume them! Hunger was one of the basic drives of all living things, and these monsters had starved for so long.

"Get out!" Bai Yi shouted to everyone.

However, the initially wide-open door suddenly closed shut again, and it felt even more sturdy. Yeye at this time grinned like a sly fox… Hehe I'm sorry, but while you guys were battling Yeye had already regained control of the entrance, and Yeye's job is to prevent any experimental monsters from escaping.

At this moment, the two teams that were still standing off against each other suddenly looked at the closed doors, instantly becaming anxious. This is really… disastrous!

Bai Yi saw the doors closed on themselves, and immediately thought of Yeye. This must've been her doing! However, Bai Yi couldn't afford to think about this now, as the sinister-looking tiger that was 2-3 times larger than a normal tiger had locked onto him as its prey.

When the monster pounced at him, Bai Yi dodged on instinct and simultaneously swung his broadsword viciously towards its neck.

'Dang!', the two thin tails of the giant tiger swept out in an instant and Bai Yi's broadsword almost got knocked out of his hand. These gene-fused monsters, with the exception of a small minority, had all assimilated the activated cells longer than anybody else here!

Bai Yi borrowed the force knocking his sword away and dived in that direction, barely slipping past the giant tiger's attack. When the giant tiger pounced over Bai Yi's head, his eyes focused and viciously sliced across the giant tiger's tummy with his sword. A 'puchi!' sound instantly came from the soft tummy, and the ferocious tiger's tummy was almost split into half by Bai Yi's sword.

Vast amounts of blood and organs immediately sprayed out from its abdomen, completely drenching Bai Yi in blood.

With the death of the first monster, the intense smell of blood quickly filled the entire sealed underground space, instantly agitating the other monsters and exciting their bloodlust. At this time, even Bentham who was the strongest here couldn't keep his calm anymore. Only he himself knew that among all the experimental monsters, his strength wasn't actually among the top few. If those few monsters really escaped, then it could only result in death for him as well.

"Noel, open the door!" Bentham shouted at Noel.

"Open the door… yes!" Noel immediately replied loudly, and the whole group of them sprinted towards the big entrance. Apparently, as long as the person wasn't stupid, he would know that whether they could escape or not depended on Noel. Even Bai Yi's group involuntarily stopped their attacks, fearing to injure Noel by accident.

"Return Martin to us, and we will help to block the monsters. Or else we will choose to kill Noel!" Bai Yi suddenly came out and said to Bentham's group.

Bentham's group looked at Bai Yi in fury. This guy, is he threatening us?

"Hmph!" Bentham gave a cold snort and tossed Martin over. Apparently, even though he was furious, he wasn't somebody that was controlled by his emotions. Killing Martin would just vent his grudge, but if Bai Yi's group were really willing to risk their lives to kill Noel then they all had to stay here.

Although he tossed Martin over, he used a huge amount of strength and the direction of his toss was towards three blood-thirsty monsters running over here now.

This bastard!

Bai Yi swore in his heart but still dashed out with Hong Qi Hua to intercept Martin.

"Team leader, are we going to stop them later?" Yu Han asked. This was a golden opportunity. If he made use of this well, he could trap Bai Yi's group here once and for all. Out of everybody here, Bentham was the only who had the power to do such a thing.

"Noel, can you set the door to rapidly close after opening later?" Bentham wasn't some kind soul either.

"I…can try!" Noel said hesitantly. Do we really need to do this? We were all strangers just a while ago, is there a need to be so ruthless?

"You must do it!" Bentham said to Noel viciously, and jumped at a monster rushing towards them.

Their discussion wasn't a secret to Bai Yi's group. In reality, as long they weren't some naïve and innocent amateur they should have guessed this as well. Woolf gritted his teeth while Heloise and Mavis appeared incomparably calm. Later when the door opened, that was when the true battle would begin!

Chapter 66: Main Character?

Fortunately, not every monster targeted Bai Yi or Yu Han's group. These monsters had no clear goal in mind, as they were just driven by their intense hunger to kill and consume anything in sight. However, as the number of monsters killed by Bai Yi's side increased, the stench of blood got heavier and heavier at their location, and attracted more monsters over to them.

"Damn it!" Noel looked around the door and swore.

"What is it?" Bentham asked.

"There's no data port on this side of the door!"

"What?"

"Data port! If there isn't a data port for me to connect to, then I can't even enter the facility's intranet, and there's obviously no need to think about opening any door!" Joel punched the door in frustration.

"You must open this door!" Yu Han looked at Noel viciously, he didn't want to die in this place.

"Fuck, do you think I need you tell me that? You think I want to die here?" Noel replied agitatedly.

"Go to the control panel, there should be a data cable that can access the facility's intranet there!" Bai Yi suddenly said and pointed to the control panel that had just exploded and was still smoking. Everyone instantly looked over and hope rose in their hearts again. Although the control panel was still smoking, there must be a data cable inside that connects to the intranet since it was a control panel. Now they just had to place their bets on Noel's abilities.

Noel didn't hesitate. He immediately ran to the control panel and frantically tried to put out the fire. He then quickly took the outer layer apart and searched for a data cable that he could use to connect to the facility's intranet.

Everybody else saw the situation now and did their best to protect Noel.

After a few minutes, an expression of joy showed on Noel's face, he could finally connect to the facility's intranet! However, after more than 10 minutes later, more and more monsters surrounded them, and everyone gradually started to panic and become anxious.

"Is it still not done yet?!" Bentham shouted.

"Wait, wait…The programming is completely different from just now, I need to decrypt the code from scratch, and even the encryption method is totally different from before!" Noel cursed. Everyone else swore in their hearts. Just what was going on here?! At this time, Yeye sat in her main room and looked at everyone's anxious expressions arrogantly… Hehehehe, foolish humans.

……

"Momo, go hide in that prison cell first, we may not be able to protect you in the upcoming battle." Bai Yi found a gap in battle and retreated to Momo's side to tell her.

"Orh!" Momo nodded obediently. (TN: Orh is another sound that Chinese people make for expressing consent/approval, just like 'ok'.)

"Sharpei, go and protect Momo. Once you hear my shout take Momo and rush out, got it?" Bai Yi said to Sharpei. At this time Sharpei was covered in blood as well, making it seem even more sinister.

"Woof!"

"Sara…you should go as well. Help me to protect Momo, thanks!" Bai Yi swept the rest of them with his eyes and stopped at Sara.

Sara felt a jolt in her heart, and looked at Bai Yi in surprise. She wasn't stupid, and she very quickly guessed that Bai Yi was trying to protect her. In the team, other than Momo, the person with the least battle ability would be her. Anybody could imagine how fierce the battle at the door would be later, and Bai Yi probably thought that Sara didn't have the ability to protect herself in such a battle.

"O…Ok." Although Sara understood Bai Yi's intentions, she didn't object and nodded her head hesitantly. At this moment, Sara felt immense resentment in her heart, resenting that when they had to fight all she could do was hide by the side. The monsters already left the prison cells, by then they just needed Sharpei to block the door and there wouldn't be any danger. There wasn't any need for her to protect Momo.

Bai Yi fiercely hacked off a claw from a monster, and Woolf immediately brought his greatsword down mercilessly, chopping off the monster's head. Bai Yi took the chance to lean back to back with Woolf.

"This is the hookgun, didn't you like to play with this normally? If we can't break our way out later, shoot Yu Han with this. We must at least pull that bastard back. You have the greatest strength here, so I'll leave this to you." Bai Yi slung the hookgun onto Woolf's body, and immediately shot out towards another monster without waiting for Woolf to reply.

"Later when the door opens, don't let Noel leave. Actually, it is impossible for all of us to be able to get out later, but if Noel is here we can open the door again. Remember well!" Bai Yi said to Heloise, and at same time he swung his broadsword viciously, helping her out of her situation.

"En!" Heloise's face was covered with blood as well, appearing to be very miserable. However, she still replied very seriously.

"Everyone else, do as you see fit." Bai Yi said lastly.

No matter if it was Hong Qi Hua or Mavis, Bai Yi trusted that they had their own plans, and as for Martin and Warner, he did not have any special instructions for them. Oh right, there was still the pet pig Pupu. It was already more than a meter long now, and so fat that it almost looked like a ball. It normally just lazed around doing nothing all day. If it'd been in other teams, then it would've probably been killed and eaten. However, Pupu actually managed to become so fat in Bai Yi's team.

Actually, Bai Yi had another plan to get out in his heart, but that plan was too dangerous. Dozens of times more dangerous than it was now.

While dealing with the numerous monsters, everyone still paid a bit of attention to the control panel, waiting anxiously for Noel to open the door.

Everyone's minds became more and more tense. Even Bai Yi did not realise that other than feeling anxious, there was something else there… impatience, brutality! Especially for Woolf, who'd changed the most, a trace of agitation and hysteria started to appear in his eyes, just that it wasn't very obvious.

LV1-2 Brutal Stage, just what did it mean?

Suddenly, an expression of great joy appeared on Noel's face. Seeing his expression, Hong Qi Hua immediately spun her two knives and quickly killed her opponent, dashing out instantaneously. Sure enough, when Noel pressed the 'Enter' key, the giant door which had been shut all along started to move, slowing opening towards the two sides.

Moving at the same time as Hong Qi Hua was Bai Yi and Yu Han. The others were slower by a beat, but similarly reacted very quickly.

Bai Yi and Yu Han sprinted towards the giant door at the center from the left and right, and there was even a monster they had yet to finish dealing with chasing behind each of them. While running, Yu Han took out his handgun and Bai Yi touched a table knife behind his back. Almost at exactly the same time, the bullet and table knife shot out towards their targets.

The table knife collided with the bullet with a 'ding!' and started spinning in the air. In the next instant, the two of them collided together forcefully.

'Dang!', the two swords crossed, and they tried to push each other back.

"Do you regret it?" Yu Han said with a twisted face. The two swords pushed against each other, creaking due to the enormous strength behind them.

"Regret… No, if I can defeat you once, I can do it a second time." Bai Yi's soft fur on his face slowly opened up.

"HA!" Yu Han laughed insolently, and started to put more strength in his arms. His strength from the ant genes greatly exceeded Bai Yi's. However, suddenly Yu Han's expression changed, a small crack appeared on his katana! Yu Han immediately released his strength and abruptly flew backwards. Sure enough, in the next moment his katana broke in the middle, as half of the blade flew into the sky and landed, bouncing on the floor a few times.

"So your weapon is better than mine!" Yu Han touched his face, one of his feelers got sliced off and there was also a small cut on his face from Bai Yi's blade.

"To think of it, I only noticed now that you don't have characteristics of any other animals. Let me guess, you only fused with the genes of a butterfly? Ahahaha…LV1 activated cells? Forget about it, no matter what, I had better luck than you from the start." Yu Han, becoming more and more arrogant as he spoke. The wrapped-up bundle on his left arm also finally revealed its appearance.

A shield?

No, it was a tortoise shell, but it grew solely on Yu Han's arm, looking just like a shield. The patterns on the shield were clear and defined, carrying a slight greenish-black light on it. With just a look one could tell that it was extremely tough. A golden snake extended from the top of the shield where his upper arm was, coiling around the shield and raising its head at Bai Yi.

Tortoise, snake…Xuan Wu!

"Xuan Wu!" Bai Yi said softly. (TN: Xuan Wu is also known as the Black Tortoise, which is a combination of a tortoise and a snake. It is one of the guardians of the four compass directions in Chinese mythology, along with Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger. But Black Tortoise sounds quite lame by itself so I'm gonna call it Xuan Wu.)

One of the four Divine Beasts in Chinese mythology, the Xuan Wu was a famous creature. Although Yu Han's left arm and Xuan Wu had no relation at all, it was enough for him to be arrogant. Apparently, Yu Han was very prideful over it as well. Although it couldn't be compared to the Divine Beast Xuan Wu now, it was still a very good omen. Yu Han waved his left arm and the snake immediately hissed and glared at Bai Yi.

"I don't deny that your luck is really good. You were ahead of the others even in the beginning stages of the change. Even the genes that you fused with suggests such fortune…But don't tell me that you think you are the main character in this world?"

"However…You know, a world that only revolves around a single person like in the novels… doesn't exist." Bai Yi's tone was very light, just like he was casually chit-chatting with a normal person. At the same time, Bai Yi squeezed his broadsword and slowly walked towards Yu Han again.

At this time, the other people who were battling subconsciously avoided the two of them, even Bentham. Even though his strength was undoubtedly number one here, he could still feel an intimidating atmosphere between Yu Han and Bai Yi.

Chapter 67: Everyone

"However…You know, a world that only revolves around a single person like in the novels… doesn't exist."

Bai Yi said while slowly walking towards Yu Han. At this moment, the two monsters chasing behind them finally caught up with the two of them. With a 'kacha!', the monsters' jaws snapped closed but suddenly, both of them accelerated at the same time and the two monsters only bit onto empty space.

'Dang!', Yu Han used his tortoise shield to block Bai Yi's broadsword, and a sharp and clear collision sounded. Bai Yi instantly felt his arm go numb but there wasn't even a scratch on the tortoise shield. The shield was damn hard, and at this time the golden snake leaned forward and fiercely bit towards Bai Yi. Simultaneously, Yu Han did not throw away the broken katana in his left hand but stabbed it towards Bai Yi's abdomen.

Bai Yi's broadsword appeared in front of the snake head, and at the same time his left hand grabbed a kitchen knife and blocked the katana. A long 'clang' rang out, and Bai Yi revealed a cold smile… Bai Yi - was a chef!

……

Escaping through the metal door?

No, the most direct method was to wipe out the other team. To speak of it, both sides were already fighting a life and death battle, they stopped only because of the appearance of the monsters. While the giant door slowly opened bit by bit, both sides instantly abandoned the front of 'cooperation' and started fighting again. Within the two groups of people were more and more monsters of many different kinds, making their battles even more hair-raising.

Bentham rushed towards the door, as he had the confidence that if he stood guard at the door, nobody from Bai Yi's team could escape. They want to protect an inhumane researcher? Then let them stay at this place together and battle it out with those monsters, just like what those researchers had done before.

Bai Yi's team saw Bentham rushing towards the door and they immediately got very anxious, Woolf and Martin immediately wanted to rush after him.

Although Martin was severely injured just now, his recovery ability was actually the best among all of them. Just like the Tentacle Slug back then, his recovery ability and toughness were top-notch.

Moreover, Martin felt that everything was caused by him, so he needed to put an end to this himself.

The Woolf now felt a brutal excitement gradually filling his heart, as he wanted to see just how powerful this guy that injured Bai Yi and Heloise so badly was.

A life form's transformation was continuous and gradual. Although the researchers categorized the evolved lifeforms based on LV1-1 Binging Stage, LV1-2 Brutal Stage, and LV1-3 Hypersomnia Stage, there was no such clear boundary in reality. At least, there wouldn't be any situation where somebody would suddenly level up and become stronger by dozens of times in an instant.

In reality, Woolf had already entered the Brutal Stage, but the presence of his good teammates and friends had suppressed that kind of impulsiveness and brutality.

……

At this time, Heloise and Mavis managed to stop Noel and Balawi.

"Hehe, these two beautiful ladies, actually we don't have any conflict, right? Why is there a need to be so fierce?" Balawai said with a frivolous expression, pointing his submachine gun and looking at the two 'beautiful ladies' stopping him. Heloise and Mavis both fused with genes from other animals, but due to their intentional choices of genes they still looked like a 'demi-human'.

"Stay here!" Heloise was still bleeding from her eyes, giving her a demonic beauty.

"Stay here? Pretty girl are you inviting me? But even if you say so, there's no need to do it now!" Balawi still wanted to continue speaking but Noel stopped him.

Both of them knew that Heloise's target was Noel, because Bai Yi just now did not hide his instructions to them in the slightest. This was just like how Yu Han hadn't bothered to hide his plan to trap Bai Yi's group here. This wasn't an overt or a covert plot. This was undisguised antagonism that the both of them had against each other. At the same time, both of them had full confidence that even if they told each other… They would still be able to achieve their goals!

This undisguised attitude from both Bai Yi and Yu Han was the attitude of the strong!

After being pulled by Noel, Balawai stopped his joking around and stretched his neck, seriously pointing his submachine gun at them. On the other side, Heloise and Mavis held their own weapons steady. They had to make Noel stay, but not kill him and also be wary of their counterattack.

……

"Fat pig!" The seventh person in Yu Han's team Moses looked at the human and pig in front of him and sneered.

"My name is Warner, 10 years old!" Warner said seriously with his fat body approaching 1.8 meters tall. Bai Yi did not give him any mission, but Warner still blocked somebody from the other team. Warner was still young and did not understand a lot of things, but from the short period of interaction he could tell that Uncle Bai and the rest were good people.

"Pu pu!" The pet pig Pupu also shook its fat body and oinked.

"10 years old, still a kid! This is very dangerous for you eh?" Moses was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a slight cruel smile. Bilbo was different from Noel who still retained his kindness from the past world. He was somebody who truly liked this new world with no rules and no need to fear anything.

……

"Khina, what do we do?" Ning Xue asked Khina.

"Get out!" Khina replied resolutely and brought Ning Xue over to rush out of the door that had just opened a crack. Inside her heart, Khina definitely did not want to fight with Bai Yi and the rest, what more a life and death battle like this. So, the only thing they could do was to leave the battle.

Bai Yi's team knew that Bai Yi had no intention of harming the two of them, so nobody attacked them either. Bentham obviously would not attack somebody from his own team as well. Hence, the two of them were the first to exit the door smoothly without obstructions, arriving outside.

……

Hong Qi Hua moved the fastest, but she did not head to the door because it wasn't a success if only one person made it out. Hong Qi Hua's rapidly dashed forwards, her body incomparably agile. Every time she passed by a monster, she would use her short knife to swiftly cut it once. In just a few dozen seconds, without even completing half a round, Hong Qi Hua had 7 monsters following behind ferociously chasing and biting at her.

Even if it was Hong Qi Hua, this kind of situation was like dancing with death. When one of the monsters bit down, Hong Qi Hua abruptly dashed up the wall and did a backflip, landing on that monster's head and jumped off again into the air. That direction was the direction where Bentham and the entrance were.

From the initial confrontation, Hong Qi Hua had been thinking, how do we deal with a powerful enemy like Bentham?

Undoubtedly, a head on confrontation had no chance of victory, as a real battle was just this strict and cruel. If a head on confrontation wouldn't work, then let's mess up the playing field by introducing a third party.

Hong Qi Hua landed on the floor and shot out again with her body bent low, her speed almost producing afterimages now.

……

Sara and Momo looked nervously at the battle going on outside, their hearts going all the way to their throats, fearing that any of their friends would meet with mishap. Suddenly, Sharpei's voice become low, his growl immediately causing Sara to turn her eyes back. Following Sharpei's gaze, Sara instantly felt her heart turn cold.

What a malevolent and ugly looking monster!

This monster couldn't be described by any single animal, or rather it didn't look like any animal. Although it was ugly, it seemed to be extremely powerful. The monsters surrounding it were all starving, yet they still involuntarily walked around this guy. That monster slowly walked along the circular walkway to their location.

Sara instantly looked towards Bai Yi and the others in fear, wanting to shout for help. However, in the next instant, everyone appeared in her eyes.

All of them are fighting for their lives now!

"Sara, you go over as well. Protect Momo for me!" Bai Yi's gentle smile flashed across her mind. Sara blanked for a moment, and slowly breathed out, drawing the katana that she seriously picked behind her back. To think of it, this sword had never been seriously put to use ever since she picked it.

"Momo, stay in this room, ok?" Sara squatted down and said to Momo.

"Older sister Sara!" Momo stared at Sara.

"Be obedient, I'm fine." Sara stroked Momo's head and smiled.

"Sharpei, when I first saw you, you were only as big as both of my palms. I never thought that you would be so big now, huh?" Sara smiled as she touched Sharpei's neck; its tough skin was slightly rough to the touch. She then stood beside Sharpei. Sharpei turned around and looked at Sara, suddenly opening its mouth wide to the point where the edges of its mouth seem to tear, revealing the razor-sharp teeth inside.

……

The true battle erupted in an instant!

However, only two people stood as audience to a battle like this.

Yeye at this time didn't have her giggling expression either, but seriously observed every action taken by every single person through the surveillance cameras. Yeye's consciousness emerged not long ago, and she still relied largely on her original AI. An AI had no emotions, and only knew how to judge based on an object's characteristics, but what was this feeling? It felt that her judgement was being influenced by everyone, it was really weird.

"Hmph~~!" Yeye used more than 60% of the free processing power of her AI to do a simulation and got a result. However, Yeye just gave a light 'hmph!' at the concluson.

As for the other audience, the Progenitor that laid at the bottommost part of the facility did not move in the slightest. However, everything that was happening was being reflected in her right iris, including every change in expression and even… their internal struggles.
