006's body grew at a visible rate, expanding from the size of a ping-pong ball to that of a fist.
But 006's body did not stop changing.
Every one of its cells began to think alternately.
That thing moves, it actively runs over to bite me, and it even holds me down…
The physiological structure of a white mice appeared in 006's consciousness.
Its originally rotten-flesh-like body began to gradually change.
Torso, limbs, head, teeth, eyes…
One by one, the organs belonging to a white mice were constantly being mimicked and constructed, until 006 finally transformed into a white mice.
It was called a white mice, but its form was incredibly bizarre.
It had no fur all over its body; its writhing muscles and blood vessels were exposed to the air.
Its tongue hung out of its mouth as if it had no sensation.
Its two eyeballs, not covered by eyelids, seemed to have their own thoughts, looking in different directions.
Lines, black, white, large, small…
As its eyeballs and brain were thoroughly perfected, countless pieces of information entered 006's nervous system through its eyes.
006 mastered vision.
It lowered its left eyeball and looked.
Its claws clenched tightly, its sharp nails easily piercing its own palm.
Its tooth-filled mouth opened and bit down hard.
Its exposed tongue was bitten off by itself, alive.
Some cells died…
006 looked at the tongue it had bitten off, still wriggling on the ground, and understood how its own flesh and blood had been gnawed off by that white mice.
Teeth… claws…
Get food!
006 unnaturally opened its lower jaw and swallowed the tongue that had fallen to the ground back into its belly.
The tongue was digested and reabsorbed as energy, and a brand new tongue was slowly growing in its mouth.
It grabbed the ground in front with its claws, dragging its other three claws and moving forward two steps.
Through the observation of its position with its eyes, 006 discovered that this could change its own location.
Having gained vision and the ability to move, 006 manipulated its four limbs with a strange gait, searching for food in the dimly lit secret room.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak…"
A strange message entered 006's mind.
006 instinctively looked in one direction and saw a white mice hiding in the shadows, observing itself.
The white mice's dark eyes stared at 006, as if confirming whether this bizarre creature in front of it was its own kind.
006 swayed its twisted limbs, opening its lower jaw nearly ninety degrees and crawling directly towards that white mice.
Such a bizarre scene immediately made the white mice realize that this was not its own kind.
The white mice darted backward, transforming into an afterimage.
006's speed, compared to the white mice, was like the difference between a wheelchair and a horse.
Why does this thing move so fast?
006 chased the white mice while beginning to ponder with its mouse brain.
In the dimly lit secret room, the white mice scurried away as if a girl being followed, using all its might.
006, meanwhile, opened its mouth wide, constantly taming its limbs.
Gradually, its limbs, which had been moving independently, began to coordinate.
006's speed continuously increased, and its running style with its limbs also increasingly resembled that of the white mice.
The distance between that streak of crimson and that streak of white continuously narrowed.
"Screech—!"
Finally, with a tragic cry from the white mice, 006's mouth successfully bit the other's head.
Sharp teeth pierced the white mice's skull, and 006, mimicking the white mice that had bitten it earlier, used its sharp front claws to firmly pin down the other's body.
But why isn't it struggling?
006 looked with its eyeballs at the white mice, which had died after its head was bitten through, not understanding why it suddenly stopped moving.
006 couldn't understand, and it was too lazy to think further.
It bit down tightly on the other's head and pulled hard.
The white mice's head was forcibly torn off by 006, then slowly swallowed into its belly.
Then it opened its mouth wide again and swallowed the entire torso.
The white mice's body was quickly digested and absorbed, and 006 again felt that it would not die.
It once again wandered in the secret room, trying to find that white creature again.
But after wandering for a long time, no trace of white appeared in 006's sight again.
Creak…
The half-open iron door in the secret room swayed slightly, emitting a metallic hum.
006 unhesitatingly opened its mouth wide and bit directly at the joint where the iron door was making noise.
Crack!
A front tooth was instantly knocked out.
006 released its mouth and rotated its eyeballs to look at the iron door in front of it.
Soon, its constantly evolving brain reached a conclusion.
This thing cannot be eaten; eating it will hurt itself.
006 swallowed the fallen tooth and was about to continue wandering in the secret room when its gaze unintentionally saw outside through the open iron door.
Outside the secret room was a wide corridor, with several wire light bulbs hanging on the wall flickering from time to time, illuminating the corridor so it wasn't so dim.
006 poked its mouse head out the door, and its eyeballs, responsible for two directions, looked at the corridor.
What's that glowing thing up there?
It's not white, so it probably can't be eaten.
It should knock out its teeth like before.
006, with its mouse-like head, crawled out of the secret room and came to this empty corridor.
Both sides of the corridor were full of iron doors and rooms just like the one 006 was in.
Some iron doors were already rusted, some doors were ajar like its own, and some rooms even had no doors.
If 006 had human consciousness, it would definitely be startled by the scene before it.
This was because the entire corridor, as well as the surrounding walls and iron doors, were covered with several half-meter-long beast scratches.
006 crawled aimlessly when a blob of white suddenly caught its attention.
It quickly scurried over like a white mice, and just as it was about to open its mouth to bite, it stopped.
This thing…
Why doesn't it have legs?
Looking at the white, fat worm in front of it, which was similar in size to itself and constantly wriggling on the ground.
006 was unsure if this thing could be eaten.
But after thinking about it, this thing was not only white but also moved like a white mice, so it should be edible.
006 no longer hesitated, opened its lower jaw, and bit the worm on its rear.
The sharp teeth immediately pierced its rebounding body, and the white worm began to struggle painfully.
006 pressed it down with its front limbs to prevent it from struggling.
Why is it struggling this time?
006 swallowed it and found that this thing contained even more energy than a white mice.
Immediately after eating, 006 discovered another such worm through a crack in one of the many iron doors.
006 opened its mouth wide, lunged, and devoured it into its belly.
Its eyeballs peered through the door crack and found that the inside was a sea of white!
The entire secret room behind was crawling with countless worms.
006 felt as if paradise was beckoning to it; it desperately wanted to enter this secret room.
Even if its flesh and bones were crushed by forcing its way through the narrow door crack, it didn't care.
