“Boom—”

In his drowsy dream, Carl was suddenly awakened by a earth-shaking noise.

When I opened my eyes, the chitinous ceiling just happened to collapse and fall.

The heavy rock directly smashed the pool in the middle of the room, and the mind flayer larvae fell to the ground and soon became silent.

The conversion chamber where Carl was located was also hit, but fortunately, the rock was not big and it helped him to smash the conversion chamber, allowing him to get out.

"Hey! Kid! Help me open this thing!"

Seeing that Carl had regained his freedom, the female Orc warrior called out to him loudly.

With the idea of ​​"one more person, one more fighting force", Carl quickly ran to the opponent's transformation warehouse.

Most of the Mind Flayer's things are made using a kind of biotechnology. These transformation chambers are like the things that are created by the targeted mutation of the Zerg in "StarCraft", so ordinary people don't know how to operate them.

But as a machinist, Carl's understanding of related fields is not limited to pure mechanics.

After a quick inspection of the conversion chamber, Carl soon discovered an abnormal dent.

Extending a finger, he pressed it carefully.

"Guji~"

Carl's fingers sank in without any hindrance. The sticky, slippery yet very warm liquid wrapped around his fingers, giving him some bad associations.

But the conversion chamber was not opened, as if the depression was not there for opening and closing the chamber door.

This situation made the orcs in the transformation chamber look anxious, and their light green faces became even greener.

I don’t know if it was because he was too excited, but suddenly, a wave of psychic energy spread out from the orc’s brain to the surroundings.

Carl was the first to be affected by the psychic fluctuations, and he was caught in a mixture of anxiety and anger.

Immediately afterwards, as if in response, fluctuations of psychic energy began to appear around Carl's brain.

At this moment, a stream of spiritual energy flowed along Carl's fingers into the depression.

"Shh~"

The lid of the conversion chamber opened, and both the Orc and Carl were stunned.

Seeing that his method worked, Carl immediately walked towards the survivor next to him.

After rescuing the two people in the same way, he said to the orc who was about to leave:

"There are still a few survivors here. Let's wake them up. No matter what happened here, with more people, we can have more combat power!"

After standing there hesitant for a moment, the orc gritted his teeth and joined the rescue effort.

Soon, the five people who were not killed by the ceiling were all rescued. The orcs slapped them hard on both sides to wake everyone up.

Relying on her own muscles, the half-orc female warrior took it upon herself to say to the people who had just awakened: "We were captured by the Mind Flayer and used as vessels for transformation. Now something has happened in his territory. If you want to live, follow us!"

After saying that, she ignored these guys and dragged Karl outside.

The door of the transformation room was also opened by psychic power. However, when Carl opened the door, what appeared before him was a corridor burning with raging fire.

"Walk with your back bent! The smoke will choke you!"

Forcing Carl to bend down, the orc crouched and ran skillfully, looking very experienced.

Following suit, Carl followed closely, ready to escape.

The group of seven quickly passed through the burning corridor and came to a wider hall.

This hall looked like an enlarged version of the transformation room just now. There was a petal-shaped platform in the middle and doors leading to other locations around it.

It can be seen that this mind flayer seems to like this design very much.

On the petal-shaped platform in the center of the hall, several professionals of different races were imprisoned in things similar to transformation chambers.

But their condition is far worse than that of Carl and others who were transformed into mind flayers.

Seeing that Carl seemed to want to save these people, the orcs became a little anxious.

It’s obvious that this group of people don’t have much fighting power. Instead of wasting time rescuing them, it’s better to find an exit and escape quickly.

The vibrations outside were becoming less and less, and the orcs felt that this was a sign that the battle was about to end.

If the enemy of the Mind Flayer wins, everyone might still have a chance to survive, but if the Mind Flayer wins, they will be in danger.

"You go first! I'll catch up with you soon!"

Seeing that Carl insisted, the orc gritted his teeth, but finally left with the rest of the people.

Carl did save her, but she couldn't risk her life for Carl's kindness.

Watching the orc and the other five people running into a passage, Carl quickly ran to the machines and rescued these people as he did before.

“Plop!”

There were eight cabins in total, but seven of them fell to the ground when the doors opened, leaving only a tiefling girl who looked about the same age as Carl, half-kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.

At this moment, she was sweating profusely, and beads of sweat as big as beans slid down her fiery red skin, giving her skin an oily luster.

The tiefling's unique devil tail hung limply from her lower back to the ground, looking listless.

The tube top and shorts that could barely cover her key parts were sticking to her body because of sweat.

Light-colored fabrics appear almost transparent against dark skin.

As his brain felt a dull pain, Carl's mind flashed with the image of a tiefling woman who had once threatened the position of the leader of Area 3D.

But he quickly realized that now was not the time to think too much.

Cursing himself inwardly for being obsessed with sex, Carl forced his neck to turn and look at the victims who were like vegetables beside him.

But in Tiefling's eyes, it seemed as if Carl was puzzled by the state of these people, so she explained:

"This is a facility used by the Mind Flayers to create slaves. They have been turned into mindless shells under the torture of psychic energy. Go this way! This is the exit!"

After explaining, she pulled Carl directly and walked towards another path different from the orcs.

"Do you know where the exit is?"

If the tiefling girl had told this when Carl was about to rescue people just now, the orcs might have been happy to save her.

"Not everyone is as willing as you to save a tiefling. The real exit is still some distance from here. We must first find enough equipment to save our lives."

"I was sober when I was captured, so I remembered the uses of some of the rooms here."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of a room.

"This is the cleaning room. After the mind flayer captures someone, they will clean and disinfect them. Equipment of low value will also be thrown here to wait for processing. I hope there will be something useful here."

Having said that, the tiefling girl kicked the door.

"Hiss~"

But the quality of the Mind Flayer's building was obviously beyond her expectations, so she could only breathe in the cold air, endure the pain, and stand frozen in place.

"Most of the buildings here require the assistance of psychic energy to use. Let me do it."

Raising his hand, Carl recalled the feeling just now and activated his weak spiritual power again.

"Shh~"

The door of the cleaning room was opened, and various low-level armors and equipment were piled up into two mountains of garbage, lying there quietly.

And the moment the door opened, in the middle of the two garbage mountains, a strange creature that looked like a brain but had four beast claws turned around.
