Chapter 70 Cause and Effect
It's currently impossible to determine whether the absorption of bullets caused Li Yi's rapid expansion, or if there was some other reason.
However, after ceasing firing, Li Yi also stopped inflating his ego.
Even after the expansion stopped, Li Yi did not stop attacking, continuously ejecting the thick green liquid from his body.
Anything that comes into contact with the liquid—on the ground, a person, or a wall—will burn a huge hole outwards from the point of contact.
The dead and wounded were everywhere, and cries of agony filled the air.
Whether ordinary survivors or those with superpowers, none were spared.
Pus sprayed towards Yu Miaomiao's location, showing that even in his madness of hatred, Li Yi had not forgotten his ultimate goal.
He would flash into the space and then flash back to the original spot, and no matter how many times Li Yi attacked, it was all in vain.
Enraged, the monster's features contorted in a ferocious grimace, its teeth chattering as it clenched together.
From Yang Silu to every bystander present, everyone regretted being trapped in this deadly situation and felt they should have been shot dead earlier.
Only Yu Miaomiao quietly pushed through the crowd and ran quickly into the mission hall.
Click to claim the task.
Add the task of participating in opening the base entrance to your wristband.
Of course, the mission is accepted in the name of the team, and as long as it is completed, everyone in the team will benefit.
Yu Miaomiao already had a plan on how to open the door.
We should make good use of the tools that are readily available to us.
She returned to the square and found herself next to a dark figure hiding behind cover. This dark figure was, of course, He Liang.
"Just cooperate with me for a bit, and I'll treat you to hot pot if it goes well."
"So generous? Is this a matter of life and death?" He Liang looked at Yu Miaomiao's smiling face and broke out in a cold sweat.
This woman doesn't play by the rules; I always feel like I'm about to be sold off and then help her count the money.
"It's a sure thing, I've never cheated you."
"Fine, I'll risk my life to accompany you."
Yu Miaomiao swiftly traversed the crowd, dodging the random attacks of the pus, approached Li Yi, and with a thought, summoned him into her spatial storage.
Of course, it's placed in a 360-degree enclosed glass room at the very edge of the space.
This was originally intended to be used as a transparent greenhouse when the house is renovated, but it has come in handy here.
The glass used was custom-made bulletproof and explosion-proof glass from the house renovation before the apocalypse. The connection process is very mature and it is very strong, capable of withstanding pressure of more than 8 tons. Now it is used to trap the monster Li Yi without any effort.
Yu Miaomiao discovered that the slime could dissolve soil, human bodies, and walls, but it could not dissolve glass or alloy materials.
The monster Li Yi stood inside, frantically banging and attacking with slime, but to no avail. He was completely bewildered.
What happened?
He gave up struggling and slumped to the ground.
Is this the end?
Even now, I still can't get rid of that hateful woman.
I hate it so much! (JPG)
After taking care of the monster Li Yi, Yu Miaomiao ran back to He Liang's side before anyone could react.
"Come on, take me through the base gate and outside the base."
Currently, He Liang should be the only one in the entire base who can overcome all the obstacles and leave the underground city.
He did indeed try using this method to transport a batch of elite military personnel from the base out to search for supplies.
However, this ability also had a bug: it could not transport more than 5 people or objects with a volume of more than 3 cubic meters at a time.
Therefore, this method of transportation is still very time-consuming and ineffective, amounting to little more than a drop in the ocean.
Sending Yu Miaomiao out was a piece of cake; combined with her spatial abilities, she was practically invincible.
He Liang dared not delay for even a moment, fearing that if he slowed down, the vast space would be corroded away in the next second.
He also has two mutated wild pheasants being raised in Yu Miaomiao's space.
Upon arriving at the base gate, Yu Miaomiao finally saw clearly what was blocking the gate from opening.
[Mutant Snow Vines]
A mutated plant that is very common in post-apocalyptic worlds and can adapt to various extreme environments.
The snow vines are thick and white. The more one struggles after they wrap around an object, the tighter they become. Once they cover an object, they cannot be cut off, demonstrating their exceptional toughness.
The dungeon gate opens outwards, but now it's tightly wrapped in mutated vines and can't be opened.
"Could you spread your shadow between the door and the vines?"
"sure."
Since shadows have no thickness, they can stay in any place they want, even when tightly wrapped by mutated snow vines, there is still room for the shadow to spread out.
Yu Miaomiao stood in the center with her back to the gate, and with a thought, released Li Yi, who was still unable to extricate himself from his resentment.
Upon being released, Li Yi immediately let out a fierce roar and began a frenzied attack.
I have to say I admire Li Yi's energy; he's like a machine that never gets tired.
Yu Miaomiao thought that it wouldn't hurt to keep such a good "machine" for herself.
Only then did everyone in the underground city realize that Yu Miaomiao had kidnapped the monster and run away to outside the base.
Yang Silu was already marveling at how this young girl was so courageous and resourceful, even risking her life, proving that women are just as capable as men.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Yu Miaomiao flashed into the space before Li Yi's venom could get close to her. The toxic pus efficiently corroded the mutated vines, and the door remained completely undamaged under He Liang's shadow protection.
After dealing with the vines, Li Yi was immediately taken into the small glass-enclosed space.
The operation was performed flawlessly.
Everything is going according to plan.
The monster Li Yi was already mentally broken.
Damn it, Yu Miaomiao! What are you doing?! Are you messing with me? Are you trying to exploit a bug in my game?
Why does the monster feel like crying even though it can't speak?
He Liang was once again astonished by Yu Miaomiao's unconventional approach; this woman had such an wild imagination.
That was a brilliant move, truly brilliant.
"If you put this thing into your spatial storage, won't my chickens be in danger?"
"I arranged a VIP single room with a view for him. Your chicken is fine, you can rest assured."
It's called a scenic spot, but it's really just a place next to the garbage station where you can get a close look at Yu Miaomiao's household waste.
What the hell?! Monster Li Yi stood inside the glass room, so frustrated he wanted to flip the table.
He simply can't speak; otherwise, he would already be exporting national treasures.
When Yu Miaomiao and He Liang reappeared in front of everyone at the base, and easily opened the base gate right in front of them, everyone was stunned.
Yang Silu was already mentally rehearsing the scene of awarding Yu Miaomiao and the others the Special Contribution Award for the Base's Underground City.
He was already quite impressed with this young-looking girl.
