Catastrophe Containment Facility
Chapter 302 - 300: Infinite Human Reproduction

He took out his phone and checked the time, discovering he still had over twelve hours until the end of the event; it was time to start harvesting monsters.

Before setting off, Xun Qing had mentioned that they only had thirty-six hours for the assessment. Wen Wen had already wasted too much time and couldn’t afford to waste any more.

He snapped his fingers, and a completely sealed metal box appeared in his hand.

This was a Disaster Level Containment Item, "Infinite Proliferation Human," commonly known as the "Proliferation Body."

Transformed from the Disaster Level superpower user Zheng Feng, it was almost impossible to completely destroy it with physical attacks.

Although this thing was troublesome to deal with outside, the Hunters Association could handle it, even completely eliminate it without much difficulty.

But this was the Underground Labyrinth. The monsters here knew no other form of attack besides physical ones, which meant that all the monsters here were helpless against this thing!

Thus, Wen Wen chuckled darkly as he poured the meat mass onto the ground. In just a moment, the mass twisted into an adult man’s body.

Having split too many times before, Zheng Feng no longer had his own will and was just a mass of flesh with the characteristic of splitting.

Once its body was separated, it would evolve into two similar individuals. When these individuals became numerous enough, they would combine into grotesque monsters and attack all living beings!

Wen Wen took out a Short Sword and, with a swift movement, chopped the body into many pieces.

Watching those pieces transform into new human bodies, Wen Wen smiled faintly.

Now, he just needed to wait for the monsters to take the bait.

...

In the dark cavern, a relatively small monster crawled out from the shadows.

It didn’t know what had happened today, but it seemed like battles were happening everywhere. It had seen the boss it had followed for a long time getting turned into a hornet’s nest by a two-legged monster with a long spear.

It also saw the boss’s rival turned into delicious roasted meat.

It seemed like there were rampaging two-legged monsters in every direction, forcing it to constantly hide.

In this Underground Labyrinth, it was one of the relatively intelligent individuals, knowing to ensure its safety by attaching itself to the boss and knowing when to flee if it couldn’t win a fight.

Of course, the main reason it had survived was that many superpower users simply weren’t interested in it.

Suddenly, it smelled a sweet scent. It knew this was the scent of those two-legged monsters—they must be delicious but also not to be messed with.

Still, it ran toward the scent, planning to first assess the strength of the two-legged monster.

There were strong and weak individuals in its species, so surely not every two-legged monster could be that powerful.

As it approached, it found over ten two-legged monsters stacked on top of each other, lying on the ground, slightly squirming, and emitting meaningless groans.

The monster could sense that these were the sounds and smells of the weak, even more fragile than the newborns of its species—presumably tastier than the newborns too!

Yes, it had eaten the young of its species, for in this Underground Palace, the only food they could obtain was their own kind.

Anyway, its kin would continuously be born from the hive and would never be depleted.

Licking its lips, it walked toward those two-legged monsters, and although it was relatively intelligent, the concept of a "trap" didn’t exist in its mind.

It approached one of the two-legged monsters and sniffed it. Seeing no reaction, it bit down.

Flesh filled its mouth, exciting the entire monster. The taste was completely different from that of its kin; this was the food their species was meant to consume.

For such food, any sacrifice was worthwhile.

It gobbled voraciously, shedding bits of flesh as it ate, until its belly couldn’t hold any more. Only then did it realize that the amount of food around it seemed to have increased manifold...

At first, it was happy, for more food with every bite meant it could forever indulge in this feast.

But gradually, it grew fearful.

Because those fragile foods were combining in a way it couldn’t understand, forming a huge, monstrous aberration, and it was trapped in the middle, unable to escape.

...

The monster’s roar was so piercing that Wen Wen, who was observing from the sidelines, couldn’t help but clean out his ears.

He casually walked over, knocked it unconscious, and harvested the tumor before ignoring it. The monster’s body rapidly vanished into the Proliferation Body, providing energy for its expansion.

Although the infinite proliferation of the human body is termed "infinite," it doesn’t expand out of thin air.

Expanding out of thin air can only go so far; beyond that, it needs an energy supplement to continue.

This was also one of the reasons why Zheng Feng, though unconscious, had still persistently attacked Wen Wen; uncontrolled expansion required an energy source, and the flesh of Supernatural Beings was the best energy there was.

The recent feeding of the small monster had better dispersed the Proliferation Body’s scent, quickly attracting more monsters who followed the smell.

To this species, delicious food was an irresistible attraction; they were willing to give anything for such a temptation.

To their taste buds, members of their own kind were actually the worst food, suggesting the dire disaster that would unfold should such a monster escape the Underground Palace.

One after another, monsters were consumed by the Proliferation Body, which grew larger and more powerful in its ability to devour monsters.

Wen Wen stood at the edge of the expanding Proliferation Body, restraining a monster here and there to pluck a tumor.

In the beginning, Wen Wen’s actions were no match for killing the monsters himself, but in the later stages, he was so busy merely harvesting.

Due to the influence of the Sanctuary, the Proliferation Body didn’t attack Wen Wen, making his harvests go smoothly.

But even if it had attacked, it would have been only a minor inconvenience to Wen Wen’s harvesting, because, no matter how much they expanded, they were just Disaster Level; mere numbers couldn’t harm Wen Wen.

Thus, the Proliferation Body grew larger and larger, its seductive scent became sweeter in the nostrils of the monsters, turning the place where the Proliferation Body resided into a dining hall for the monsters, but this dining hall was also their dying ground.

Wen Wen moved like a ghost among these vast dining halls, slicing off tumors from the bodies of monsters.

During the hunt, Wen Wen also heard plenty of curses from other superpower users, but he merely laughed silently a few times and continued his harvesting.

Since these monsters were essentially Demon Hunting Coins, how to benefit from them was a matter of personal skill.
