Chapter 8: Deformation

“We’re alive… we’re alive! We survived the Indestructible Giant Lizard!”

A man lying on the ground came to his senses and began to shout joyfully, having escaped death.

The others, too, slowly recovered from their fear at his shouts and cheered happily.

“It’s all thanks to the Vice Captain! It’s all because of the Vice Captain that we survived!”

“Right! Thank you, Vice Captain!”

“Thanks, Vice Captain!”

The Vice Captain, whose eye sockets were still bleeding, swept his remaining right eye over the crowd, then let out a light snort, disappointed.

“Don’t you dare waste your energy…”

He pointed at a few logistics personnel, “You few, quickly get some supplies to treat the injured, and you few, tally the losses and casualties!”

“Yes, Vice Captain!”

The designated individuals immediately stood up and began to move, quickly running towards the corridor.

As one of the logistics personnel rushed towards the corridor, his shoulder bumped into the purple-haired girl.

The purple-haired girl only took a slight half-step back, but the man stumbled and almost fell.

“Why the hell didn’t you move aside!”

The logistics personnel turned his head and cursed at the girl, then paused when he clearly saw her face.

“You wretched woman, you’re not dead?”

He glanced at the purple-haired girl’s stomach, then frowned.

“Weren’t you pregnant? Why does your stomach look like you’re not pregnant?!”

The fourteen or fifteen-year-old dark purple-haired girl turned her head to look at him.

The girl said nothing, merely hiding her right hand behind her back. Her face, which resembled both East Asian and Western features, showed no emotional fluctuations, like a delicate doll.

The logistics personnel felt a chill down his neck from the girl’s eerie gaze.

“Forget it, I don’t care about you.”

With that, he ran towards the corridor again, searching for medical supplies.

Seeing the other party leave, 006 understood that she had succeeded.

This beast indeed regarded her as one of its kind, allowing her to gain protection and food within this tribe.

The rat-like claw hidden behind her back slowly wriggled, transforming into the shape of a human arm.

This girl was precisely 006, mimicked into a human form.

When she noticed that the beast would help its kind, 006 conceived this idea.

Finally, after seeing a human who could even 'drive away' a Giant Lizard by some unknown method, 006 was completely convinced of her idea.

After all, she might not be able to defeat a creature that could even chase away a Giant Lizard.

Moreover, it would provide food to its kind; if she disguised herself as a beast, she could also get some food.

Thus, this girl, who had a small person in her belly and left a deep impression on 006, naturally became the best template.

006 stood there, expressionlessly watching the surrounding beasts.

“Hey! Are you still alive? I’ll help you rest now.”

“Ah, my leg… does anyone have morphine…”

“Wow, I didn’t get a single injury, today’s my lucky day!”

What are these things chattering about?

006, who couldn’t understand human speech, stood out somewhat awkwardly among the busy crowd.

Fortunately, most of these people were immersed in the joy of being alive and didn't notice her.

But the Vice Captain, who was helping a woman rest, noticed 006’s unusual behavior.

However, before he could speak, all the people who went to get medical supplies returned and began to treat everyone’s wounds.

“Captain, I’ll help clean your wound. It will hurt a bit because I need to clear out all the remaining eye tissue, so please bear with it.”

A logistics personnel put on gloves and sprinkled alcohol on tweezers, speaking to the Vice Captain.

The Vice Captain withdrew his gaze from 006, “It’s alright, just hurry up.”

The logistics personnel began to treat the Vice Captain.

The Vice Captain then scanned the surrounding injuries and quietly spoke to the woman supporting him beside him.

“Li Xiao, go get some food and distribute it to the seriously injured…”

The woman with special abilities paused for a moment at his words, then nodded gently in understanding. She took a bag from the logistics personnel and opened it.

A fragrant aroma immediately wafted from inside, attracting 006’s attention.

Inside were black bread, canned goods, and flatbread, among other foods.

“Thank you all for your hard work. Those who are more seriously injured, please come and eat something quickly.”

Li Xiao took out the food and distributed it all to those who had lost their mobility.

However, those who received the food showed no joy at all; instead, their hands trembled, and several even failed to catch it, letting the food drop to the ground.

They knew this would be their last meal before they died.

With such severe injuries, they wouldn’t be able to work for at least several weeks.

This also meant that they would only be a burden for several weeks.

So, the organization actually intended to abandon them after they had a full meal.

The originally lively atmosphere gradually became somber as the food was distributed.

The Vice Captain, whose wounds were already cleaned and bandaged, could only sigh silently as he watched all this.

However, at this moment, Li Xiao’s angry voice broke the silence.

“You wretched woman, are you injured? To come and take food!”

Everyone turned to look, and saw a purple-haired girl standing by the bag of food, taking a piece of black bread from it.

Li Xiao, who was distributing the food, was yelling at her.

“Are you dying, or do you not understand human speech, you wretched woman?! This is for the seriously injured!”

⚆_⚆?

However, the girl showed no reaction, merely holding the bread and staring at the other party expressionlessly.

Everyone’s gaze converged, and many recognized the purple-haired girl.

“Hey, isn’t that the mixed-blood bastard we took in two months ago? She’s not dead.”

“It’s good that she’s not dead, then we can play with her again. I’ve looked for her three or four times already; there’s no helping it, young girls are just so attractive.”

“I remember this woman was quite timid, wasn’t she? To actually dare to do something like this…”

Everyone spoke one after another, enveloping 006 in a large hand of words.

What are these beasts chattering about? Are they exchanging information?

But she doesn't seem to understand…

006, who couldn’t understand human speech, stood there confused.

“Quiet down!”

Just then, the Vice Captain, whose eyes were already bandaged, suddenly shouted.

Everyone immediately stopped talking.

The Vice Captain stared intently at 006, his sturdy body slowly moving in front of her.

006, in the form of a girl, looked up at the man who was nearly half a head taller than her. There was no emotion in her blood-red eyes.

The Vice Captain frowned, looking at her abdomen, “Where is the child in your belly?”

006: ⚆_⚆

006 blinked, looking at the other party without speaking.

The Vice Captain frowned, “Are you scared silly?”

006 still didn’t speak, merely staring at him with wide eyes.

Just then, a man sitting nearby could no longer contain his anger and walked over.

Without a word, he slapped 006’s fair and tender face.

“Wretched woman, are you mute?! The Vice Captain is asking you a question, and you dare not answer!”

The man’s slap was incredibly forceful, the sound echoing throughout the hall.

006 still showed no reaction, merely slowly turning her head to look at the man who had slapped her.

“Oh, really? You dare to look at me? When you begged for mercy in bed, you didn’t even dare to look me in the eye…”

Before the man finished speaking, a fair and tender small hand landed on his neck.

The man was slightly stunned, and the next second…

Splat—!

006 plucked the man’s head from his neck as if picking an apple.

Crimson blood gushed like a spring, splattering on her emotionless face.
