The entire corridor suddenly began to shake violently!

It wasn't just a localized tremor; the entire Crimson Corridor, and even the entire Zetalem Starlight, seemed to be shaking.

The metal structure groaned under the strain, the floor cracked, and debris fell from the ceiling.

"What's going on?!"

Verina braced herself against the wall.

As Mingxi looked up, his spiritual power spread out like radar.

She "saw" it—

At each entrance to the Crimson Corridor, dozens of gates were simultaneously and violently opened!

Hundreds and thousands of mutated creatures flooded in like a tidal wave.

Beasts, humans, mutated supernatural beings...

Moreover, they no longer wandered aimlessly, but were driven and guided by some force, forming destructive torrents!

Even more frightening is that these creatures are in a very abnormal state.

Their eyes turned blood red, and their bodies radiated violent energy fluctuations, increasing their aggression and destructive desires several times over!

"Goodness."

"In this day and age, it's unbelievable that a beast tide would still happen."

Let me confirm again, she's transmigrated to an interstellar beast-taming world, not a fantasy monster world, right?

Mingxi was extremely shocked and whispered to Verina, "Someone has released high concentrations of berserk hormones in all areas and opened all the blockade gates at the same time."

You're saying this was an accident?

Or did someone see that you were not only alive but also lively, so they unleashed their ultimate attack?

Verina rolled her eyes, reached out and pinched her waist, only to find that her waist was harder than a rock.

"hiss!"

“Keyi, my darling, secretly tell me what your physical fitness level is. You’re amazing, as solid as an iron plate.”

"Sister, how can a lady like you utter such lewd and obscene words?"

Verina was speechless: "I meant meat! Meat—meat!"

"So ladies, please don't speak in a high-pitched voice. You're not surnamed Yu."

Guangguang: "Master, is it really appropriate for the two of you to say these things in this situation?"

“What’s inappropriate about it? Even if the sky falls, this scarlet corridor will hold it up.”

Guangguang, "You're so kind, you're absolutely right."

Mingxi's heart is certainly not big.

She knew very well that someone was trying to cause trouble, and no matter how nervous they were, it wouldn't help.

But Mingxi didn't know that the actual situation was not the same as what they had guessed.

Just then, deafening roars and rapid footsteps echoed from the passage they had come from!

The beast tide has indeed arrived.

at the same time.

The control room was now in complete chaos.

"Report! The blockade gates in areas A through F have been remotely forced open! They cannot be closed again!"

"Report! A large number of berserk hormone release signals have been detected! The sources are scattered across twelve locations!"

"Report! The number of hunter distress signals has surged, exceeding thirty!"

"Report! The audience area has also been hit by the beast tide, and some strange beasts and humans have broken through the isolation barrier!"

Nisel sat in her chair, watching the chaotic images coming from all directions on the screen, and the smile on her face finally disappeared.

"What's going on? Where did all these strange beasts and humans come from?"

Her voice betrayed a hint of nervousness, "Could it be that something's wrong with the doctor?"

"Contact the doctor immediately!"

The doctor's urgent voice came from the terminal.

"Madam, our experimental subjects have inexplicably gone out of control."

The thing at the core of Zone D7 is awakening, releasing some form of spiritual energy. Almost all life in our experimental zone has been affected! We must evacuate immediately!

"What?!" Nisel jumped to her feet. "Didn't you say that thing was completely under control?!"

"That's true in theory, but just now an extremely powerful energy swept through the entire corridor, destroying all the suppression devices."

Nisel slammed her fist on the control panel.

Just then, a heavy thud came from the door of the control room.

"There's something outside...there's something outside!"

A technician screamed.

The heavy alloy door was dented by the impact, and several limbs covered in carapace and slime reached in through the crack.

More crashes came from all directions, and the control room was also surrounded.

"Quickly! Activate the emergency plan, contact my brother, release the sedative gas, and open all escape routes!" Nisel roared.

"Lily, come with Mom right away."

But it was too late.

A huge arthropod covered in compound eyes pierced through the ceiling.

Then came the second one, the third one... the entire ceiling of the control room was blown off.

A mutated centipede, the size of a small spaceship, lowered its head and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth.

The final scene shows Nisel and Lily's terrified faces.

And a fleeting figure on the screen, hidden in the shadows, wearing the uniform of the Shadow Raven Clan's guard, but with a cold, inhuman smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Then, all the surveillance footage simultaneously turned into static...

Deep within Zone D7, Mingxi and her companion were also running frantically.

Behind them was a surging tide of beasts.

Thousands upon thousands of strange beasts and humans crowded every passageway.

They trampled and bit each other, but more of them rushed toward the scent of living people.

The walls collapsed upon impact, pipes broke, spewing out high-pressure steam and corrosive liquid, and the entire Crimson Corridor was turning into a real hell.

"left!"

Verina yelled and threw a vial of potions.

The bottle exploded, releasing a pungent yellow smoke.

The first few radioactive wolves inhaled the smoke, immediately let out a scream, black blood seeped from their eyes, ears, nose and mouth, and collapsed to the ground convulsing.

But the creatures behind them did not stop, continuing their charge by stepping over the corpses of their companions.

Mingxi kept shooting arrows, the arrow shadows like a woven tapestry.

She fought and retreated, her longbow never stopping.

The arrows in the quiver had long been exhausted.

She now relies entirely on her mental power to materialize and condense arrows.

Each arrow fired pierces through several creatures, clearing a small area.

But the beast tide is endless; once a piece is cleared, it is immediately filled again.

Mingxi was shocked by the sheer number of these strange beasts and humans.

"With so many alien beasts and alien beings, Zetalem must have long been a breeding ground for them?"

"...What you're saying is a bit scary."

Mingxi, however, felt that what she said was very likely true.

So many strange beasts and humans could not possibly have been formed during that accident hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, they could only have been created by humans later on.

And the organization capable of such a large-scale operation is most likely the wicked Descent Organization.

"This can't go on!"

Verina threw out two more potion bottles, her face as pale as paper. "I'm almost out of potions!"

Mingxi's gaze swept across the surroundings, her mental energy penetrating through layers of obstacles, finally locking onto a direction.

"Follow me!"

She turned and rushed toward a seemingly intact metal wall on her right.

Just before the collision, an arrow formed from spiritual energy was shot out from his hand.

The arrow, like a cone drill, pierced the wall fiercely!

"Boom—!"

A large hole was actually drilled into the wall.

It was as if she had shot a cannonball instead of an arrow.

Verina was stunned.

She also began to believe that Ke Yi was a supernatural being; this was something no human could do.

"What are you standing there for?! Do you want to become food for some monster? Get out of here!"

Seeing her standing there like a human figurine, Mingxi quickly pulled her away, helping her dodge the beast's terrifying canine teeth.

Behind it is an abandoned maintenance passage.

The two rushed into the passage, and Mingxi fired another arrow with a backhand.

The broken rocks collapsed and sealed off the entrance, temporarily blocking the pursuers.

The passageway was narrow and dark, but relatively safe.

The two were slightly out of breath, adjusting their breathing, though Mingxi was faking it.

However, both of them sustained some injuries.

Since Mingxi couldn't go too far, she could only make Verina suffer a little.

Verina had a claw mark on her arm, deep enough to expose the bone, and the blood was an abnormal dark green.

"These strange beasts are poisonous..."

She gritted her teeth, took out an antidote, and swallowed it.

Mingxi also had several abrasions, but they were all just superficial injuries.

Given her current physical fitness level, it wouldn't be easy for her to inflict any injuries on herself, but she's going to go all out in her acting.

Turan Yulanka can be a freak, but he cannot be an invulnerable monster.

"We can't rest for too long."

Mingxi looked like she was forcing herself to cheer up.

"This beast tide is just the prelude."

I felt /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ uneasy.

I have a feeling something bad is about to happen; we need to find an exit quickly and get out of here.

"good."

The two once again fled in panic.

The rest of the Crimson Corridor was a living hell, where almost everyone who had participated in the hunting party for various reasons had met with annihilation.

No matter how powerful a beast tamer you are at other times, if you cannot communicate with the pet space and summon pets, you will not be much stronger than exotic beasts and exotic people.

Moreover, it's about surviving a beast tide.

"Help!"

"Ahhh, don't eat me!"

"I don't want to die!"

Some people only truly regret it when they realize that their lives are heading towards death.

Hunting games can really kill you.

But if regret were useful, what would be the point of having universal rules?

Death treats everyone equally.

At the boundary between D6 and D7, in front of a heavy gate.

"Where is this? There's no place like this on the map."

Verina looked at the gate in surprise and disbelief. "Ke Yi, where did you bring me?"

"I don't know either."

She could sense that there was something wrong with the energy field here.

"?!"

Verina was impressed by this sixth man.

"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

Mingxi clearly had no guilty conscience about fooling the older woman, and was even able to continue fooling her.

Verina gritted her teeth; she couldn't get out of that broken-down car.

"Let's go in!"

This gate should have been closed, but for some reason it is now wide open.

Mingxi sensed the energy fluctuations behind the door and frowned.

Behind the door was a scene that defied description.

The ground was no longer metal or moss, but a translucent, gelatinous substance that felt soft and spongy underfoot and even undulated slightly.

Countless eyeball-shaped tumors grew on the wall, each rotating erratically, its pupils reflecting distorted light and shadow.

Phosphorescent dust floated in the air, and every breath was stinging.

The most bizarre thing is the space itself.

The direction of gravity here is actually disordered.

In some areas, objects float upwards, while in others they experience several times the force of gravity.

The light also appears unnaturally curved, making it difficult to judge distance and depth.

After going inside, I not only felt dizzy and lightheaded, but also had a strong urge to vomit.

"Ugh... Ugh... What's going on here? Ugh..." Verina vomited while gulping down medicine, trying to suppress the nausea that was rushing to her head.

At the same time, she was quite "disabled but determined", with medicine in her mouth, a green syringe in her right hand, and her left hand supporting her head.

She plunged the syringe into the ground, and the green medicine inside turned dark red. "It's high-concentration radiation! The radiation concentration is three hundred times the safe level!"

"An ordinary person's cells would collapse if they stayed here for two seconds!"

"Quickly, drink these potions, or we'll either die or be mutated into aliens."

Verina took out a few vials of potion and tossed them to Mingxi, then chug down a whole bunch of potions herself.

Although Mingxi didn't think she would be affected by the radiation, she didn't refuse her kindness.

She was curious, "What kind of chemical did you just stab into the ground? It can even detect radiation?"

"The ecological testing reagents are mainly used to test air, soil, trees, etc. They are very easy to make; you can just do it casually."

Mingxi: "..."

This girl and her hometown of Florence must have a lot in common.

"Keyi, let's go down and take a look. There must be a big problem here."

Although Verina was feeling very uncomfortable, the extremely high concentration of radiation aroused her strong interest.

The common problem among secondary professional instructors has emerged!

Mingxi ended up being the one who was passive.

Women.

Helpless, Mingxi put a layer of mental energy membrane on her body. The radiation concentration here was so high that her medicine probably wouldn't be able to completely protect her.

The two of them wound their way down the passage, deeper and deeper.

The surrounding temperature was rising, the air was scorching, and the radiation index was so high that the color of the test kit turned bright red.

The walls began to show signs of melting, and the floor was scorching hot.

Finally, at the end of the passage, a lead alloy door, at least half a meter thick, blocked their way.

There are no handles or control panels on the door, only a complex prop lock in the center.

“A matching key is needed to open it.” Verina shook her head after checking. “Forcibly destroying it will trigger a self-destruct sequence.”

Mingxi stepped forward and placed her palm on the prop lock.

She closed her eyes.

Mental energy, like the most precise probe, seeped into the lock's internal structure.

Countless complex energy circuits, energy nodes, self-destruct traps... appeared one by one in her mind.

This is no ordinary smart lock; it's a composite lock that combines interstellar technology with gadgets, making it extremely difficult to crack.

If Mingxi's mental strength is still the same as before, then there is indeed no way to solve the problem of this lock.

But once her mental energy can materialize, she can easily simulate a matching key based on the lock cylinder's condition!

Three seconds.

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

"Click".

Verina exclaimed, "My God! It actually opened! What kind of monster are you?"

Mingxi ignored her.

The energy flowing across the surface of the prop lock suddenly stopped and then dissipated like the receding tide.

The heavy lead alloy door groaned as it slowly slid open to both sides.

Behind the door lay a scene of hell.
