The insect woman walked into the passage connecting the spider's nest to the human refuge.
Jiang Wu followed closely behind.
The five- or six-meter-wide passage was traversed in an instant.
As Jiang Wu stepped out of the passage, a bright and open space opened up before him.
Underfoot is a rough but clean cement floor, and above is a reinforced concrete dome with lighting fixtures arranged in a regular pattern.
There are wide main passageways on both sides, and on both sides of the passageways are rooms with metal door frames.
The insect woman led Jiang Wu in one of the directions.
After walking another hundred meters or so, we turned a corner and came to a large hall.
There are quite a few people here.
When the Insect Woman, Jiang Wu, and Chen Xiaoya suddenly emerged from the passage that was considered a "forbidden area," everyone nearby immediately turned their attention to them.
There was a moment of silence.
Immediately, they all spoke up.
"It's Lady Insect Woman!"
"Lady Insect Woman is back!"
"Lord Bug Girl!"
They were all extremely enthusiastic and respectful.
It was as if I had seen a god.
The insect woman's expression remained unchanged, and she did not respond, simply continuing to walk on her own.
The survivors seemed to have long been accustomed to the insect woman's personality; they all stopped what they were doing and watched the three insect women leave.
Jiang Wu surveyed the survivors here.
The survivors here are in pretty good spirits.
Although their faces were somewhat pale due to being sheltered in the refuge for a long time without sunlight.
But their eyes were bright and their bodies were not thin, so they clearly did not lack basic living supplies and food here.
This stands in stark contrast to the emaciated, desperate, and numb scenes found in many survivor camps outside.
Jiang Wu casually asked, "Insect Woman, how many survivors do you have here?"
The insect woman seemed not to hear his question and continued walking expressionlessly deeper into the shelter.
He seemed to exude a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.
Jiang Wu's lips twitched. This insect woman...
That's really asking for a beating...
Chen Xiaoya, who was standing nearby, quickly whispered, "My lord, we now have more than 6,240 people in total! They were all rescued from outside by Lady Insect Woman!"
Her tone was filled with pride, as well as deep gratitude towards the Insect Woman.
More than 6,200 people!
Jiang Wu was slightly shaken and couldn't help but take another look at the indifferent back in front of him.
It is no easy feat to save so many people, shelter so many ordinary people in such a place, and keep them in such a good mental state.
This insect woman, though a bit aloof, is actually warm-hearted beneath her cold exterior.
The insect woman did not linger in the living area, but instead led Jiang Wu straight through several passages.
They arrived at a place with a heavy metal gate, guarded by several smaller but exceptionally thick-shelled mutated beetles.
As the insect woman arrived, the heavy metal gate slowly opened.
Inside, it was a completely different area from the outside.
The guards here are all mutated insects!
The environment is also completely different.
Bright shadowless lamps replaced ordinary lighting, and the air was filled with disinfectant, formaldehyde, and an indescribable odor belonging to biological tissue.
The corridor is lined with research labs separated by tempered glass on both sides.
In each research room, several or a dozen people dressed in white lab coats were busy working in front of various instruments and equipment.
These researchers included both men and women, and spanned a wide age range, but their eyes were all exceptionally focused.
Even when the insect woman arrived, they simply bowed respectfully and continued their research diligently.
The items in each research room are also slightly different.
Some research labs are equipped with biological experimental equipment such as microscopes, centrifuges, and petri dishes, where researchers are observing samples on slides or in culture media.
Some research labs display specimens of organs and tissues from various mutant insects, soaked in a transparent solution.
Some research labs are conducting even more alarming experiments.
For example, there are two research labs where T3 zombies are imprisoned, and they're still alive!
They were entangled in thick spider silk, and several researchers were using various tools to try to penetrate their impenetrable skin.
Finally, they arrived at a large laboratory marked "Core Biofusion Zone".
The laboratory consists of several specially designed operating tables.
At this moment, several people are restrained on several operating tables!
Their limbs and heads were secured with strong straps, their mouths were gagged, and their eyes were filled with extreme fear and despair.
A dozen researchers in sterile gowns were gathered around the operating table, performing "surgery".
In addition to the usual scalpels and tweezers, the "surgical instruments" they used also included some unsettling items on a trolley.
For example, insect organs soaked in nutrient solution.
For example, strange spider silk, unidentified biological slime...
Upon seeing this, Jiang Wu's brows furrowed instantly, and he felt nauseous again.
Even knowing that these people might also be heinous criminals, witnessing firsthand the scene of combining living people with insect parts still shocked his senses and crossed his moral bottom line.
Chen Xiaoya kept a close eye on Jiang Wu's expression, and seeing this, she immediately whispered urgently, "Sir! Please don't misunderstand! These people lying up there are with the ones in the outer chamber! They are all core members of that cannibalistic raider gang! They really don't deserve to die!"
