【Living up to the name of human warehouse!】

【Amazing cabbage! Who said newcomers are dead weight? Look — a living breathing human warehouse, who can match that?】

【I apologize for my earlier comments — I was blind! This newcomer is basically a hidden divine Doraemon!】

【I was wrong too, I’m sorry, I was completely blind just now!】

【I’m in love I’m in love! Cabbage · Doraemon · Warehouse · Girl! Essential companion for all life’s journeys!】

【First time I’ve heard of sharing a backpack with someone from the residential area — isn’t that a bug? @customer service, explain?】

【Little cabbage~ yellow in the field~ so impressive from such a young age~】

【Cabbage dear~ Uncle loves you, uncle will tip you a luxury car and a mansion~ muah muah muah!】

Accompanying the lively flurry of bullet chat, the commentator also joined in —

【We can see that things have started developing in a strange direction. What originally was a gasoline-collecting operation somehow turned into a massive escape event. A large number of creatures converged in the underground parking garage and were eliminated — backend data puts the count at 327. The entire nest currently still has approximately two hundred creatures remaining, including 499 eggs about to hatch. If they can’t deal with these eggs, they’ll be plunged into danger once more. Will they succeed in stopping the eggs from hatching this time?

…Ah, some viewers may have noticed — the cabbage team member was clearly carrying sufficient gasoline all along, yet made no move to mention it after entering the dungeon. Only now, with the team at the edge of annihilation, did she produce it. This makes us wonder — was this harrowing escape orchestrated by her? If so, then this newcomer is really just too…】

【Sour sour sour — is that the sour-stink smell of love I detect?】

【Commentator, just admit you’re jealous!】

【Commentator openly displaying bitterness online!】

【I want to see the rising newcomer king be charmed by the cabbage ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!】

……

The commentator’s voice paused momentarily, then continued with its usual flat delivery:

【Alright. We can see the team members have all entered the building. Captain Yuri appears to be preparing to use the same strategy as before — luring the sentinels and the Queen away from the hatchery. Let’s continue to watch —】

……

The building was an ordinary commercial high-rise. Floors one through eight housed a mix of shopping, leisure, and entertainment functions; the ninth and tenth floors and above were the property management department; above the tenth floor was office space.

Despite having become a nest for these monstrous creatures, walking through it, one could still sense traces of human activity.

They entered through the glass main doors. No creatures on the first floor. A glance upward showed the second and third floors were also quiet — seemingly empty as well.

The massive explosion from before had shaken the entire nest. The creatures from the lower floors had almost certainly all gathered higher up.

The east and west sides of the building each had two fire escape stairwells. Uncertain whether the stairwells still harbored creatures after the explosion, and not wanting to engage them head-on too quickly, Yuri chose to take the direct elevator up to the eighth-floor cinema and reassess from there.

Last time, it was at the cinema that they had split up.

Yuri and Natasha used the special terrain of the screening halls to corner the sentinels — drawing the Queen away — while Ada and Shen Mo handled the destruction of the eggs in the hatchery.

Yuri said: “Natasha and I will set explosives in the screening hall. The moment the sentinels arrive, we detonate immediately. Even if we can’t kill them outright, we can collapse the corridors on both sides and trap them there — buying you time…”

Ada and Shen Mo each picked up two canisters of gasoline. For burning only half the eggs, this would be more than enough.

Bai Youwei listened quietly as they worked out the plan. After a while, her gaze drifted elsewhere —

The cinema, aside from the disgusting viscous fluid smeared across the walls and floor, was laid out just like any normal-world cinema: a drink bar, massage chairs for resting, and a long row of claw machines.

Bai Youwei spotted one with plush rabbits inside, walked over, and casually flicked the directional button.

Suddenly! The claw machine erupted into cheerful music!

Everyone was shocked — heads snapping toward her in unison!

Bai Youwei instantly pulled her hand back, startled: “It wasn’t me! I didn’t touch it!”
