Special template?
Isn't this what she had been pursuing all along? Although the bonus from this special template wasn't heaven-defying, it was enough to significantly boost her strength.
Just the "Constitution-HP conversion rate increased by 100%" alone could directly double her HP, greatly increasing her chances of survival.
However, there were two problems before her now.
The first problem was that there was a 10% chance the drug would cause her to become an irrational mutated monster. This chance didn't seem high, but she really didn't dare to gamble casually. She was different from players; she didn't have the chance to restart.
The second problem was that the drug's production progress was only 92.257%. Although this value was slowly increasing, it would still take at least five or six hours to reach 100%. During this time, if these two bottles of Enhancement Potion were discovered by the two agents from Gene Primordial outside, she might not be able to keep the potions for herself.
Thinking of this, Lily decisively carried the Inducement Bait and walked out of the laboratory, blocking Yago and Shino outside.
First, delay them, then see if she can find an opportunity to come back and take the Enhancement Potion away.
The first step of her plan was successful. Yago and Shino's attention was completely drawn to the Inducement Bait, leaving them no time to pay attention to the laboratory's situation.
"It's a good thing that woman didn't lie."
"With this, can the insectoid tide be lured away?" Patrick Star asked curiously.
Shino shook her head: "It just means there's hope, but whether it can be lured away depends on whether those shapeshifters give us a chance. Let's go, time is short, we should go check on the insectoid tide first."
Initially, the players didn't quite understand what Shino's words meant, but after following Yago and Shino to the outer perimeter of the Abandoned Cooling Plant, they understood.
"This, this, this…"
"Holy crap, my trypophobia is acting up."
"Slime everywhere, ugh~"
Outside the fence, gray-brown insects, each about the size of an adult husky, were frantically crashing. They piled on top of each other, occasionally tumbling, occasionally scurrying left and right, continuously making creaking sounds.
Just looking at this disgusting scene made all the players' scalps tingle. After hearing the piercing sound, they felt even worse.
The reactions of the players watching in the live stream were not much better.
"Quick, turn the camera away! I don't want to see insects, I want to see Lily!"
"Stop filming, stop filming! If you keep filming, I'll unfollow!"
"Hiss, such handsome insects."
"Damn, there's a pervert."
Insects seemed to have a special kind of magic. A single one placed there was fine, but when their numbers increased and they gathered densely, it would make people feel a chill down their spine.
"The situation is not good."
Yago looked Four Directions.
Under the influence of the insectoid tide, the Abandoned Cooling Plant was now in utter chaos.
Residents living in the outer areas were frantically running towards the center as if mad, causing major traffic jams on several roads and even small-scale stampede incidents.
This was not good news.
These residents running around chaotically resulted in no one guarding the fence, and it was foreseeable that the fence would be destroyed by the insects much faster than expected.
Furthermore, since the Inducement Bait was scattered by Nine near the Wildfire Gang's entrance, these residents running to the center of the Abandoned Cooling Plant would not only fail to be saved but would instead become the primary targets of the shapeshifters.
"Alright, the few of you go explain the situation to the residents. The rest of you, follow me to stop those bugs from coming in. We need to wait for an opportunity, and when a gap appears in the insect tide, we'll send out the induced bait we found in the laboratory."
Yago skillfully assigned tasks, but his words received no response from the players. They all turned their gaze towards Lily.
Yago: "…"
He could only cast a pleading look at Lily.
Lily said, "Everyone, please follow Mr. Yago's command for now. I know you want to protect me, but the most urgent task is to defend the Abandoned Cooling Plant first."
As soon as she spoke, the players immediately complied.
Yago's mouth twitched. There was nothing he could do. Who told Lily to get furious and directly blow up those two from the Truth Society for the sake of these people?
