A bizarre and terrifying experience; I messed up the dungeon world.

"You're just a piece of my flesh," Han Yingying said.

Han Yingying raised her straight knife and slashed her left wrist. The wound was deep. Blue blood flowed out, running down her wrist onto the blade of the knife.

The straight sword absorbed the blue blood. The blade glowed with a blinding blue light.

Han Yingying gripped the knife with both hands and slashed down at the air in front of her.

A black crack appeared in the air. The folds of space were forcibly severed.

The blade glowed blue. It struck the woman in white on the shoulder.

The blue blood made contact with the optical fibers inside the woman in white. A piercing hissing sound emanated from them. The woman in white opened her mouth and screamed. The sound wasn't human; it was high-frequency electronic noise.

Ah-Jie covered his ears. The tablet fell to the ground. The progress bar reached ninety percent.

Wang Jianguo discarded the giant axe with its rolled-up end. He pulled two high-explosive grenades from his bag, pulled the pins, and threw them at the crack in the wall from which mechanical spiders were still emerging.

An explosion rang out. The crack collapsed. Flames illuminated the hall.

The woman in white tried to back away. Han Yingying didn't give her the chance. She flipped the straight knife, slicing horizontally through the woman's chest. Blue blood flowed down the blade and into the woman's body.

The woman in white moved slowly. One by one, the fiber optic cables connecting her to her body snapped.

"Virus upload complete." A-Jie picked up the tablet, panting heavily. "The underlying logic is locked. She can't change the rules anymore."

Lu Chen appeared behind the woman in white. A purple butterfly knife precisely pierced the back of her head. The blade severed the main control chip.

The woman in white stopped struggling. Her body dissolved into a pool of silvery liquid, flowing onto the metal floor.

Lin Qi stopped in front of the glass door deep inside the hall. She glanced back at the fallen woman in white. Lin Qi thought, these people are indeed powerful. That woman with the straight knife is a madwoman. She even bleeds herself.

Lin Qi pushed open the glass door and entered the laboratory.

There were no monsters in the lab. In the central incubator sat a tube of red reagent, labeled: Third-Generation Gene Enhancement Fluid.

Lin Qi picked up the reagent. Without hesitation, he plunged it into his vein and pushed the red liquid to the bottom.

A sharp pain instantly swept through her entire body. Her bones cracked and popped. Muscle fibers began to reorganize. Lin Qi gritted her teeth, remaining silent. Black impurities seeped from her skin. Her wounds healed at a visible speed. Power surged within her.

Lin Qi took off her tattered tactical vest and threw it on the ground. Underneath, she was only wearing a black sports bra, the fabric soaked with sweat and clinging to her body. She picked up a short knife and walked out of the laboratory.

In the hall, the silvery liquid did not dissipate.

The liquid began to gather and rise, forming a two-meter-tall silver giant egg. The surface of the egg was covered with red blood vessels that pulsated rhythmically.

"The dungeon didn't give a completion message." Lu Chen sheathed his butterfly knife, staring at the giant egg.

A-Jie stared at the tablet. The screen was filled with red warning boxes. "Strange bug upgrade. This thing is absorbing the space station's backup energy. It's about to hatch."

Han Yingying walked over, knife in hand. "Destroy it."

Lin Qi walked over to Wang Jianguo. Wang Jianguo looked at Lin Qi and swallowed hard. "Girl, with a figure like yours, it's a shame you're not a model."

Lin Qi ignored him. She gripped her twin swords tightly. Lin Qi thought, "Now that I've taken the stuff, I have to get to work. If this egg hatches, no one will be able to escape."

Five people surrounded the giant egg.

The blood vessels on the surface of the giant egg pulsated at an increased frequency. The red light grew brighter.

Han Yingying raised her straight knife. The tip was aimed at the center of the giant egg. She stabbed it down.

The blade touched the eggshell. It was stopped by an invisible force field and slid to the side.

"Extremely high physical defense." Han Yingying sheathed her sword.

Lu Chen flicked his butterfly knife. The blade sliced ​​into the eggshell, leaving a white mark. The mark healed instantly.

"It's repairing itself," Lu Chen said.

Lin Qi stepped forward. The effects of the third-generation enhancement fluid had brought her speed and strength to their peak. She gripped the swords with both hands, the short blades crossed. Aiming at the white mark left by Lu Chen, she slashed down forcefully.

The blade sliced ​​through the force field, piercing the eggshell. Green mucus spurted out, splashing onto Lin Qi's arm. The mucus was highly corrosive; white smoke rose from Lin Qi's skin. She didn't retreat. She exerted force with her wrist, widening the incision.

"Fatty, throw the grenade!" Lin Qi shouted.

Wang Jianguo took out the last three high-explosive grenades from his bag, pulled out the pins, and stuffed them into the giant egg through the incision Lin Qi had made.

Lin Qi drew his sword and retreated.

The five people ran towards the entrance of the hall at the same time.

The explosion came from inside the giant egg. Dull. Powerful.

The silver eggshell was shattered into pieces. Green slime and bits of flesh splattered all over the hall.

An alarm sounded on the space station. Red emergency lights flashed.

"Self-destruct sequence initiated." A-Jie looked at the tablet. "Three minutes countdown. The space station is about to disintegrate."

"Did you get the data?" Han Yingying asked.

"Got it." A-Jie unplugged the data cable and stuffed the tablet into his bag. "The logs show that the parent organism of the immortal beings is not in Earth's orbit. Zero here is just a distribution terminal. The source of the strange bug is in the deep sea. Pacific coordinate system. Mariana Trench."

"Let's go." Han Yingying turned and ran outside.

The five people retraced their steps, passed through the airlock, and returned to the spaceship.

The fleshy passageway of the spaceship had withered and turned grayish-brown. It creaked and crunched when stepped on.

Han Yingying entered the cockpit. She sat in the driver's seat, her hands resting on the control panel. Blue optical fibers extended from the control panel, connecting to her wrists.

Spacecraft launch. External docking lock disengages.

Lu Chen sat in the passenger seat. He looked at Han Yingying's wrist. The red thread hadn't faded; instead, it had become thicker.

Lu Chen thought, the strange intrusion into reality has intensified. This instance is merely a stepping stone. Zero's true form lies in the deep sea. The rules there may be completely beyond human comprehension.

Lin Qi sat in the corner at the back of the spaceship, furthest from everyone else. She sheathed her twin swords in her lap, closed her eyes, and regulated her breathing.

Wang Jianguo sat opposite Lin Qi. He looked at Lin Qi but didn't dare to say anything. He felt that Lin Qi was even more dangerous than the woman in white from before.

Ah Jie sat in the middle, holding a tablet, analyzing the data he had just downloaded.

The spacecraft detaches from the space station. Accelerates backward.

Through the porthole, they saw the massive ring-shaped space station undergoing a series of explosions. Flames spread silently in the vacuum. The space station disintegrated, breaking into countless fragments that drifted into the depths of space.

"System notification. Dungeon [Eden Space Station] cleared. Rewards being calculated." A-Jie read the words on the screen.

Ten minutes later, the spaceship passed through the clouds and began to decelerate.

The gravity system returned to normal. The spacecraft landed smoothly.

The hatch slowly opened.

Outside air rushed in, carrying a pungent sulfurous smell.

Han Yingying pulled the fiber optic cable from her wrist. She stood up, picked up her knife, and walked towards the hatch.

Lu Chen followed behind her.

Wang Jianguo stretched. "Finally back on Earth. I'm going to have a good meal."
