Chapter 9: Laboratory №45 (3)
“Ten times, and each time he dodged in the same direction,” said Bai Lian, wiping his knife with his tie.
He had long since figured out everything in this dungeon using the Unlimited Return function.
The middle-aged man was also a player, and his ability was strength enhancement.
In a normal fight, Bai Lian wouldn’t last five rounds before being pinned to the ground.
To kill him, Bai Lian had to act unexpectedly.
The first two times, Bai Lian was killed by this player, but starting from this attempt, he had already killed him ten times using the same method.
In a world with anomalous rules, players face not only monsters and dangers hidden in dungeons.
Players themselves can also be a hidden threat.
Those who have cleared the beginner dungeon usually possess certain skills.
At the very least, they won’t hesitate to kill someone.After dealing with the man in the suit, Bai Lian calmly turned and walked away, his expression as calm as if nothing had happened.
This scene literally blew up the stream’s chat!
【Damn… Damn!】
【What can I say? Killing another player right from the start is too brutal!】
【You call him a newcomer who just cleared a dungeon?】
【Was this streamer a killer before entering this strange world? With that speed and reaction, he’s terrifying!】
【Seeing that look in the streamer’s eyes… I’ve never seen anything like it from other players. It’s scary!】
【This guy is definitely a pro. I’ll keep an eye on him!】
【How did he know someone was here? And how did he predict that the door would open?】
…
This wave of actions by Bai Lian completely changed the viewers’ perception of newcomers.
His decisiveness in killing, followed by that calm, almost chilling gaze—it all seemed unbelievable.
However, they didn’t know that this was just the beginning.
After leaving the room, Bai Lian turned left down the corridor.
This time, he turned on his flashlight.
After dealing with the man in the suit, he wouldn’t encounter other players for a while.
In Laboratory No. 45, the main threat to players isn’t other players but the Infected—people turned into monsters.
Using the Unlimited Return function, Bai Lian already knew exactly where all the Infected were in this laboratory.
If he just wanted to clear the dungeon, he could avoid all the Infected.
But to achieve a perfect rating, there was one Infected he couldn’t avoid.
Continuing down the corridor, Bai Lian reached a fork and, without hesitation, chose one path and kept walking.
【It seems the streamer is very familiar with this dungeon. He’s not even trying to figure out the forks.】
【Isn’t this the streamer’s first time in this dungeon? Is he just wandering aimlessly?】
【Shouldn’t he be collecting research data right now? I remember the last player who cleared this dungeon only managed to do so after collecting nine pieces of data.】 𝖗𝘈ℕꝋΒĘS
【Why do you all seem to know Laboratory No. 45 so well?】
【To the person above, don’t just stay in beginner dungeons all the time. Check out other streams where more difficult dungeons are being cleared.】
【Exactly, you can find guides online. To clear Laboratory No. 45, you need to collect nine pieces of research data; otherwise, you can’t open the main gate of the laboratory.】
【Let’s see what the streamer does. I have a feeling he’s not just wandering around!】
…
How could Bai Lian just wander aimlessly?
Using Unlimited Return, he had already almost cleared this dungeon several times.
All of this was just preparation for achieving the highest completion rating.
After walking down the corridor, Bai Lian finally reached a large door.
“Phew…”
Taking a deep breath, he gripped the knife in one hand and slowly pulled the handle with the other.
“Eeeeh—”
As the door creaked open slightly, a strange sound came from inside.
This sound wasn’t like anything an animal or human would make. It sent chills down the spine.
At that moment.
Bai Lian flipped the knife in his hand and instantly jumped back!
Bang!
The door swung open, and a creature appeared before him.
It was a person, gray and decayed, with a massive build. The most terrifying part was the sharp fangs protruding from its ravaged face. If it bit, it would be fatal!
This was the most horrifying creature in Laboratory No. 45—the Infected!
They were infected by the virus and turned into monsters, devoid of reason, driven only by the desire to kill.
Anything living that crossed their path became their target!
An ordinary person encountering such a monster would likely lose their mind from fear.
But Bai Lian remained extraordinarily calm.
Almost the moment the creature appeared, he charged forward, knife in hand!
Using Unlimited Return, he had already fought this Infected multiple times.
【Wow, there’s an Infected hiding here?】
【I was just wondering why the streamer stopped. Turns out he knew an Infected was inside. That’s incredible!】
【How did the streamer figure it out?】
【No way, even if he watched streams of Laboratory No. 45, he couldn’t have predicted where the Infected would be.】
【Every dungeon, even with the same setting, has random layouts, and the Infected can’t be fixed in one spot.】
【Is this his ability?】
…
The sudden appearance of the Infected terrified the viewers.
But when they saw Bai Lian not running away but instead decisively attacking, they were all stunned.
The Infected doesn’t even think about running—this is just heroic!
“Ha~!”
Seeing Bai Lian approaching, the Infected let out a terrifying roar and swung its claws at him.
Bai Lian dodged to the side, easily avoiding the attack, and with his left hand, plunged the knife into the monster’s neck!
Ssshh!
The combat knife sank into the Infected’s neck, and Bai Lian immediately retreated, increasing the distance!
The enraged Infected charged at Bai Lian again, ignoring the black blood gushing from its neck.
Bai Lian stood his ground, counting silently.
“3… 2… 1…”
Bang!
The countdown ended, and the tall Infected collapsed just one meter away from Bai Lian.
The Infected are truly terrifying, and at least until Bai Lian figured out their weaknesses, he had died several times at their hands.
After dealing with the Infected, Bai Lian crouched down and began searching its body. Eventually, he found a key in one of its pockets.
This key was an important item for achieving a perfect completion rating!
At that moment, the stream’s chat exploded.
【Holy crap! The streamer killed an Infected?】
【This isn’t just a kill; it’s an instant takedown!】
【This is the first time I’ve seen someone kill an Infected. It’s unbelievable!】
【A key? What’s it for?】
【If I’m not mistaken, this key is probably for opening doors.】
【Are you crazy? That’s obvious!】
