Chapter 125: Chapter 99: End of the Band

"You mean, there are two different factions in the laboratory, one wants us to release them, and the other wants to stop us from entering the laboratory."

Kevin kicked the robot head on the ground that was sparking, "But what if it’s just a malfunction?"

"I don’t think it’s just a malfunction," Hong Fangqi said in a deep voice, "Earlier, I mentioned that a very few creatures could retain their rationality after being infected by the fungus. Maybe some of the experimenters are exceptions.

They knew that lifting the laboratory lockdown would cause even more serious disasters, so they tried to warn us with traps and push us back.

Everyone, should we continue?"

"Continue," West said calmly, "With me here, there won’t be a problem. But if any of you want to leave, sorry, I can only put you to sleep temporarily."

He stared at the three of them, his expression extremely serious. If any of them uttered even a single "no" in the next second, a battle would break out.

"I haven’t achieved my goal yet," Kevin declared that he had to continue.

"Nature is under threat," Zhou Yuan said in a manner very fitting for a Forest’s Child follower.

"Then I have no issue," Hong Fangqi shrugged.

The group started moving forward again, with West continuing to lead the way.

They quickly finished exploring the first floor, and the traps they encountered were easily handled by West.

As they went up to the second floor via the stairs, West suddenly paused in the corridor: "Be on guard, there’s an unusual energy fluctuation."

Fizz.

The chandeliers on the ceiling and the wall sconces began to flicker at a high frequency, and the emitted light gradually turned into a dangerous crimson red.

[To ensure safety, the managers of the secret laboratory contained some anomalies for protection. The upcoming anomaly has not yet been documented by the Control Bureau.

This anomaly had appeared randomly in various corners of the real world and the Spirit World multiple times five years ago. Before being contained by the Supernatural Organization, it caused at least 500 humans and 200 Extraordinary Creatures to vanish.

I call it—the Endless Labyrinth.]

Swoosh!

The lights in the corridor suddenly went out, plunging into pitch darkness. Utilizing Dark Vision, Zhou Yuan saw things around him changing rapidly: the ceiling inverted, walls shifted horizontally, and the corridor stretched infinitely. His teammates vanished in an instant.

A moment later, the lights came back on. Zhou Yuan was still standing in that same corridor, but his three teammates were nowhere to be seen.

Thump, thump, thump...

Heavy footsteps echoed from the end of the hallway, each step causing the decorative paintings on the walls to shake incessantly.

Soon, a massive female troll, as fat as a mountain, emerged dragging a giant bone. She emitted a foul stench, like a cesspit, and flies buzzed around her.

[A female troll trapped in the Endless Labyrinth, years of loneliness have left her in a state of extreme hunger and she won’t spare any male creature she encounters.]

"Oh, oh, oh! What a handsome man!" The female troll’s eyes widened, and she let out an excited shriek, drooling.

"Oh shit, Bogang!"

Zhou Yuan exclaimed.

"What’s Bogang?" The female troll understood human speech.

"It means that you have a good foundation, and if you slim down, you’ll look great."

"How dare you mock me?" The female troll instantly flew into a rage, "I’m going to drain you dry!"

As soon as she finished speaking, bang!

Zhou Yuan pulled out an Iron Rose and shot her in the head, blood and flesh flying everywhere. The massive body collapsed with a thud, causing the oil paintings on the wall to fall.

He blew away the gunpowder smoke from the barrel, stepped forward, and collected the corpse for sale.

[Name: Headless Female Troll’s Corpse]

[Price: 200]

[Star Coins +200]

He then turned and walked away. The stairs they had used earlier to come up to the second floor had disappeared, replaced by an endless corridor lined with neatly arranged wooden doors on both sides.

[To leave this labyrinth, first you need to find a resting hall, then find the door in that hall. Finally, stand in front of the door and shout, "Let me out," and push the door. Only then can you exit the anomaly.

Does it sound simple? Since this anomaly came into existence, no living creature has ever found this exit condition.]

"It’s practically impossible to discover under normal circumstances," Zhou Yuan complained. "There are doors everywhere here. The chance of shouting the specific phrase in front of the correct door is virtually nonexistent."

"Since so many Extraordinary Creatures are trapped here, I might as well gather some forces. After coming all this way, it wouldn’t make sense to leave empty-handed."

Zhou Yuan took out an ordinary Paru Ball and released the Weaver.

After recuperating in the Paru Ball, the injuries on the Weaver’s body had long healed, and its previously bare upper body was now clothed.

"Let’s go, it’s hunting time."

·

Endless Labyrinth.

Looking at the seemingly endless corridor, Kevin clicked his tongue in amazement: "Using anomalies for protection, it’s just like Wangu Genes. Luckily, I am prepared."

He took out a phone from his Storage Ring and dialed a number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

The next moment, Kevin transformed into a stream of green data and entered the screen. Thud, the phone fell to the ground and self-destructed after ten seconds.

In the villa’s first-floor dining room, a phone hidden by Kevin in the vegetable rack lit up, emitting a beam of green data from the screen that materialized into Kevin.
