Chapter 137: Hatching, the Infinite Sea Begins!
Monsters were attacking Shelter No. 6, and chaos was spreading through the base.
Liu Jianjun cried out in shock, “Why are there monsters inside the shelter?!”
His subordinates didn’t know how to respond. Should they tell the Director that it was his order to protect the pregnant women—and some of them had been parasitized by monsters? Once these creatures grew to a certain point, they would burst out from the host’s body.
“Director Liu, our top priority now is to deal with the monsters that have infiltrated the shelter. These creatures are clearly even stronger than the man-eaters we encountered outside,” one subordinate said urgently.
Another added, “And we can’t rule out the possibility that these monsters will continue to parasitize and spawn more of themselves.”
Hearing the word “parasite” sent chills down everyone’s spine.
No one wanted to be unknowingly parasitized and then killed when the creature emerged from their body.
Liu Jianjun snapped, “Call all players immediately! Conduct a full sweep of Shelter No. 6. We must eliminate every last monster!”
Another person said, “Whoever caused this has to be the one behind the earlier kidnapping case. We have to find and eliminate him. If we don’t, these terrifying situations will keep happening.”
Liu Jianjun was filled with frustration.
Shelter No. 6 entered a state of high alert.
Meanwhile, in their dormitory, Zhang Li and Zhao Fuqing heard the screams from within the shelter.
Since Su Ning had left, the two of them rarely went out except to work. They mostly stayed in the dorm. The food they’d gathered from the last instance was enough to sustain them until the next one began.
Hearing the screams, Zhao Fuqing turned to Zhang Li. “Sister, what’s happening in the shelter?”
Zhang Li wasn’t sure. She opened the door and they stepped outside. Many others were also coming out to see what was going on.
However, their dorm was far from the hospital inside the shelter, so they could only hear faint screams and gunfire from afar. They couldn’t get any clear information.
Just as confusion was spreading, a siren began blaring over the shelter’s speakers.
“Warning, warning! Multiple unknown creatures have appeared inside Shelter No. 6. To prevent casualties, all residents are to remain indoors and await rescue!”
“Warning, warning! Multiple unknown creatures have appeared inside Shelter No. 6. To prevent casualties, all residents are to remain indoors and await rescue!”
The broadcast repeated over and over.
Zhang Li immediately became alert. She pulled Zhao Fuqing back into the dorm and barricaded the door.
She thought to herself, Why are there monsters inside the shelter now?
She sighed. Ever since Su Ning left, it seemed like trouble kept coming one after another.
As for the Sixth Shelter being attacked by Yan Liuxing, Su Ning was completely unaware—and even if she knew, she wouldn’t have cared. Since she’d left that shelter, whatever happened there had nothing to do with her anymore.
At that moment, Su Ning was looking at the Ghost White Tiger’s monster egg.
When she returned to the Dead Corpse Hell base, the egg had started to shake.
Su Ning was thrilled. She still remembered clearly when Li Ming obtained the Slime King.
Although she’d already used her Scavenger’s Eye to view the Ghost White Tiger’s data, she still loved it.
After all, it was a feline—and one of the few normal and attractive pets she had.
Hua Hua (Terrifying Carnivorous Flower): Huh?
Hong Hong (Electric Hive Queen): What’s going on here?
Jiang Jiang (Corpse-controlling horror bug): What do you mean by that?
Zombie minions: Aren’t we your most loyal companions??
Su Ning: …………
Finally, the eggshell cracked open in a flash of light—and a small black-and-white kitten appeared before Su Ning.
Su Ning: White Tiger? Or just a white cat? Let me check the data again… yep, it’s a white tiger.
“Didn’t expect a newborn white tiger to look just like a kitten. So cute!”
Little Ghost White Tiger tilted its head: ?
Su Ning was completely charmed by it. It was just too adorable.
The little tiger didn’t cause much commotion, but her other pets—especially Hong Hong—instantly felt a strong sense of crisis. They could sense this new creature had immediately surpassed them in status.
Feeling threatened, they all started working harder to earn Su Ning’s favor.
Su Ning: What’s going on? You guys are competing now?
Back to work—Su Ning continued preparing for the next instance.
“Ocean or river, there’s definitely going to be lots of seafood!”
Thinking of seafood made Su Ning drool. She was determined to catch as much as possible.
“To farm seafood, I’ll need a fish tank!”
Unfortunately, all she could find were small decorative tanks. Still, she decided to store them in her Foggy Home for now.
“Foggy Home” was the name Su Ning had casually given to the place she was living inside the Dead Corpse Hell instance.
She also discovered that the land in the instance was fully usable—it wasn’t polluted and could be cultivated.
Su Ning figured that since she could enter Dead Corpse Hell freely, it would be a waste not to farm here.
She planted seedlings cultivated with her Super Fertilizer to see how they would grow in this soil.
Not a single bit of land would be wasted.
Just as Su Ning was busy with preparations, the system’s voice suddenly rang out:
[Ding! The Survival Game has now begun. Instance: Endless Ocean Objective: Survive in the instance for 7 days Optional Quest: Kill 100 sea monsters. Reward: Deep Sea Mud.]
Su Ning read over the new instance’s mission.
“Endless Sea? As expected, it’s the ocean. But this quest seems… too simple?”
The side quest to kill 100 monsters could be skipped. So in theory, just surviving 7 days would be enough to return.
But Su Ning didn’t believe it would be that easy—not for an instance that involved every player.
“The real difficulty must be in the survival part.”
That hunch was immediately proven true.
The very next second, Su Ning was teleported onto the open ocean.
There were no islands or land in sight.
She was floating in the middle of the vast sea.
For anyone without a strong mind, this would be a terrifying start.
Su Ning quickly pulled a plastic boat from her inventory, got on it, and stayed alert.
Then she opened the chat channel to see how others were doing.
Right now, the global chat was the main hub for player intelligence sharing.
[Endless Sea instance—at first I thought the mission was a breeze. Then BAM—right into the ocean!]
[I’m just glad everyone got dumped in the sea like me. Misery loves company.]
[Be careful—there’s something in the water!]
[Of course there is! I haven’t had seafood in ages. I’m going all out in this instance!]
[Luckily, I spawned on an island… but it’s tiny.]
[Help! I can’t swim! Glub glub!]
