Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"call--"

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

"One or two people always try to play dead in front of me, but I didn't expect even a monster like you would be no exception."

"Anran, Anran, you're injured." Ella touched Anran's chest, where there was a bloodstain on the lower part.

"It's alright, let's hurry up and lure the next monster over," An Ran said.

The battle with Number Twenty-Three caused her to lose 100 points of health and stamina, but the impact was not significant. Besides, none of the other monsters were as strong as Number Twenty-Three, so she had to hurry.

An Ran truly experienced the strength of the monsters that Reina had researched; even with the Red Silk Potion suppressing them, they were still so powerful.

Then, under Ella's control, the other monsters were released one by one.

An Ran, who was already on guard, killed the monsters with little effort thanks to the Red Silk Potion.

The weakest dog collapsed shortly after being sprayed with the medicine, and Anran easily chopped off its head.

"There are only two monsters left banging on the lab door. Three minutes left."

Anran had Ella open the doors one by one, and she walked over step by step, clutching the last few bombs in her hand.

……

"Bang bang bang bang-"

“MD”

Reina wiped the sweat from his forehead and glared resentfully at the lab door. The phone from Director Dante had been ringing for quite a while, but now that it was the final, crucial moment, he had no time to spare.

"Pour it in!"

Reina was directing several researchers.

It's done, it's almost done.

Reina's eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

The researchers poured the reagent into the synthesis apparatus, and as time passed, a tube of orange reagent appeared in the syringe below.

"Haha, it's done!"

Reina excitedly picked up the syringe.

He had just taken a step when a loud "boom" resounded, and the laboratory door immediately began to shake violently.

Chapter 39 The Girl's Enemy: The Tentacle Monster

"Still fighting like this? If this drags on any longer, we'll all die here!"

Spitting heavily, Xie Nian, the commander of the defense battalion, also patted the dust off his clothes.

He looked disheveled and miserable.

The soldiers beside them also wore expressions of distress.

Although I already knew that the people of Jiuge were powerful, I didn't expect them to be this powerful. They were practically fighting ten against one, and they were driving them back step by step, with their outer defenses being breached one after another, and they were about to retreat into their base.

"I can't get through to Reiner at all!"

Before long, a middle-aged man with a large beard walked over, shaking his head. He was Dante, the head of the equipment department.

"It's been 25 minutes already. How are we going to hold on for the last five minutes? There aren't many brothers left who can still fight," Xie Nian said bitterly.

If they play like this, they'll all die here!

Dante was also in a dilemma. He had been prepared to slip away, but a phone call from above ordered him to escort the group from the Biochemical Department with him.

Isn't this a scam?

Although Reina and he were both supervisors, their status and position were worlds apart.

With powerful backers, Reina often berated him like a grandson.

How could he command Reina?

Now Reina is making them wait for half an hour, otherwise he won't leave. What can he do?

They couldn't persuade them, and they couldn't even find anyone.

The main door to the biochemistry lab is locked, and no one can get in. Not to mention the door to the warehouse, which is never seen open.

Even so, Dante didn't dare to abandon Reina and leave.

If he were to run back on his own, the higher-ups would skin him alive. Ultimately, the higher-ups value Reina's research highly, and he's just an afterthought.

It's like an extra pair of chopsticks that comes with your takeout order.

Ok.

Xie Nian from the defense camp wasn't much better; perhaps he was like a plastic bag used for takeout?

We are both wanderers in this world, why should brothers make things difficult for each other?

"Sigh!" Dante sighed first.

"Should we just retreat?" Xie Nian suggested.

"Do you want to die?"

Dante immediately stopped Xie Nian's idea: "If you don't want to die, you'd better give up on this idea!"

"..."

“Leaving Morningstar directly isn’t a good option either. Your position isn’t low enough, and your superiors will definitely hunt you down on the dark web.” Dante ruthlessly shattered Xie Nian’s illusions.

"..."

"Don't even think about surrendering. With what we've done, once we lose our effectiveness, even if we don't get a military court, we'll have no hope for the rest of our lives."

"They've completely outmaneuvered us," Xie Nian said with a wry smile.

Dante shook his head: "Hang in there, try to hold on until Reiner finishes his experiment. I could hear his monsters howling outside just now, I wonder what he's up to this time."

"Damn it!" Xie Nian slammed his fist on the floor.

"boom!"

A bullet flew past them, nearly scaring the usually eloquent Dante half to death.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat! We can't hold this place anymore!" Dante shouted.

"You..." Xie Nian was speechless.

……

The violent explosion brought the excited Reina back to his senses. He glanced back at the now bulging door. He strode towards Subject 24, oblivious to the commotion outside. One injection, and the living would be turned to the dead, the whole to pieces, flesh to excrement!

"Lift the cloth!" Reina beckoned to the two researchers.

The researchers grabbed the white cloth from both sides, about to tear it off.

"Boom!"

Then there was another loud crash, and the sturdy door broke open, revealing the situation in the corridor.

A researcher turned his head and saw a pair of compound eyes staring intently into the room.

"Holy crap—"

He couldn't help but take a step back.

"Whoosh!" The white sheet was ripped off, and Reina looked with satisfaction at his most successful creation, Experiment No. 24.

"Supervisor, actually, the experimental subject needs..."

"What's all the noise about!"

Reina roared, attached a needle to the syringe, walked to subject number 24, and pressed the switch to start the incubation process.

The culture medium was quickly withdrawn, then red mist was sprayed out, followed by the glass wall slowly receding.

Reina smiled.

Experiment 24 is currently resting. If you insert an needle into his body, you can go to the secret passage at the back to watch the show.

"Ha ha……"

prick.

The needle was inserted into a relatively vulnerable spot on the body of test subject number 24.

"boom!"

"Run! Run!"

"How did these things get in here?!"

"Whoosh-"

The chaotic noise finally caught Reina's attention. He turned his head and saw a huge, dark object flying through the air, accompanied by a whistling sound, heading straight for the experimental table where Subject 24 was located.

"Why is it this thing?"

Reina was taken aback. He had expected two intruders to rush in, but it turned out to be an experimental subject.

The scythe-like blade, like a thrusting spear, was about to pierce the body of test subject number 24.

"Snapped!"

Reina angrily swung his left hand, knocking the test subject off balance and sending it crashing into a nearby equipment rack, shattering the glass instruments on the floor with a crash.

"pity."

"I finally made it!"

Immediately afterwards, Anran and Ella appeared at the door.

It wasn't too surprising that Reina, a level 21 bio-engineered demon, could send a weaker experimental subject flying with a single punch.

But when An Ran saw the needle already inserted into test subject number 24, her expression suddenly changed.

Before she could even be surprised by the appearance of Subject 24, Shu Mingxu's words flashed through her mind: this subject's strength in its full state was comparable to Heloise!
