I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today
Chapter 1108: Side Story - Live Streaming World 77

Bai Youwei, leading the way, said, "Then keep your voices down, don’t let those little aliens down there hear... These things are really disgusting, they can crawl so fast just after being born..."

She muttered under her breath, moving forward.

Shen Mo followed behind her to a ventilation opening. Through the vertical, lattice-like partition, he saw beneath him a marsh of even thicker, mud-like mucus. Eggs were encased within it, some already broken open, with small aliens emerging, their heads large and bodies slender.

These newly hatched aliens scurried around like cockroaches, agile and sharp-toothed, occasionally tearing off pieces of eggshells to eat, growing at an alarming rate.

But it seemed they could not walk upright, probably because their limbs were not yet strong enough to support their disproportionately large heads.

Shen Mo glanced a few times, then silently withdrew his gaze and crawled forward, giving way to Ada who was following behind.

Ada reached the vent, inhaled sharply, and cursed quietly, "Damn!"

Natasha followed behind, crawling over the vent, and also witnessed the scene below, her face constantly changing.

Despite being prepared to deal with the hatched aliens, their plan had only accounted for half this number! Now, after several "accidents," their ammunition had stealthily become scarce - how were they supposed to cope?

Natasha bit her lower lip, her mind racing through various possibilities.

Using knives was not out of the question, but it was feared that if these little creatures swarmed them, their teeth were no joke!

What about grenades?... That could work, but their current position was too disadvantageous – throwing grenades from here would also affect them.

What to do...

Shen Mo seemed to know what was on Natasha’s mind, whispering, "If we’re going to deal with them, we must do it quickly. They grow very fast."

"This is insane," Ada raged, "There are just too many of them..."

It wasn’t just them feeling the urgency; the audience in the live stream was also anxious. With a God’s eye view, they could see the entire building’s situation. The little aliens hatched one after another on camera, spreading throughout the entire 32nd floor, even devouring the Queen’s corpse as food, biting and chewing like ants on syrup!

[(T ^ T) This is so heart-wrenching!]

[Yeah! Being trapped here, unable to go up or down, is just awful!]

[Honestly, if not for Cabbage causing so much trouble, this level would’ve been cleared by now]

[Front row, (→_→) didn’t you get slapped hard enough just now?]

[I’ll also speak my mind, though I want to unfollow, I’ve decided to wait and see a little longer... Woof]

[Wait and see +1]

[Wait and see +2]

[Don’t you all find it odd? Even though Yuri is the team leader, the whole pace has always been controlled by Cabbage. Blowing up the parking garage, the movie theater, the elevator, the ventilation... I hope I’m just overthinking it.]

[(Ծ‸Ծ) I frown, feeling like there’s more to this matter!]

[Damn... I’m getting the chills just thinking about it, guys! What kind of cabbage are we even fans of?!]

[Damn it, stop talking or I’ll really go crazy!]

[(○Д○) Look! Cabbage is up to something again!]

...

After watching for a while at the front vent, Bai Youwei softly said:

"Don’t you find it strange? In the Queen’s nest, there’s a lot of dirty mucus; the closer to the hatchery, the more and thicker the mucus, until here at the hatchery, it piles up..."

"It’s probably because the alien larvae need a certain level of humidity," Shen Mo said. "The mucus makes the environment moist and also blocks some of the sunlight."

"Blocking sunlight is also for moisture, right? Sun exposure would speed up the evaporation of water," Natasha questioned. "Could sunlight be their weakness?... But we’ve encountered aliens outside the building too, and they seemed unbothered by the sunlight."

Bai Youwei fell silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Though they move freely, their bodies always seem... wet."
