Chapter 36 – The Warehouse
"Ouch! Damnit!"
Misha spat another curse as felt the excruciating pain from her severed legs.
To get out of the legs shackles and the chains that bound her ankles before the turrets could kill her, she had severed her legs and slipped into the melted hole that Tama had created.
Falling into the hole was not that painful, but the sharp objects from the melted parts left several deep cuts on her skins. In addition, once the hole connected to the lower floor, she fell down for another 10 meters and landed on her back, causing more injuries.
It was already a miracle that she was alive.
'Why do I keep getting fall injuries!? Am I cursed!?'

<<[Yes]/[No]>>
"Oh, please. Do I even have to think? No!"

"…"
Like before, Misha closed her eyes and concentrated using the self-regen skill once more. However, she recalled that she had unused free attributes that might help her in this situation.

.
Although Misha could feel that her self-regen skill could heal her injuries faster than the past as it had leveled up to 13, she had a theory that her VIT or vitality status might have something to do with the toughness of her constitution.
'All free stats to my VIT!'
Misha allocated all 43 free points to VIT and increased it to 199.
Despite her broken bones, severed legs, superficial wounds, anemia, and internal bleeding, Misha felt as if she could survive for another day or two without using her MBR.
After allocating her status, Misha finally noticed the abnormality of her maximum VIT.
It was already 1007!
'My status cap increases?'
Then she recalled that Tama had been tampering her blood cells in her heart, and it also had been curing her of the rampaging viruses in her system.
Checking back the system logs, she found several messages that she did not pay attention when she was taken into this facility. Her mind was preoccupied, thinking about how she could escape from the binding.
'Alright, no more absentminded! Stop the internal bleeding, regen everything, and regrow my legs! Wait, do you think I can regrow my legs, Tama?'
*Meh-Heh Mew!*
'You have been laughing for a while. What are you doing?'
A tentacle tongue of Tama exited her chest and sprayed yellow liquid on Misha's restraint mask. The juice dissolved the steel mask, which it fell on the side of her face in an instant.
Finally got her vision back, the mutated glowing yellow eyes of Misha glanced around.
The floor below was without any light, but she could still see everything as if it was daytime, thanked the mutated eyes.
Misha did not know where she currently was, but she felt the bone chilling freezing temperature from her surroundings. From her feeling alone, the temperature was somewhere below the freezing point, which gave Misha a hard time to move or concentrate.
The cold air hit her body, and the chill got to her bone. Her nose and ears had traces of frostbite, but Misha ignored it since she could still breathe as long as she breathed slowly.
The ceiling was 10-meter in height, which indicated that this was not a regular freezer for keeping fresh food. Furthermore, Misha could smell a familiar scent of green eggs nearby.
She found herself in a place similar to a freezer which her current location was surrounded by ice cubes, triple the size of a human.
Upon careful inspection, Misha was shocked by what she saw.
Hundreds of chicken-sized baby green egg monsters like Tama were sealed in the ice block!
Looking at another direction, more baby green eggs in the blocks of ices were everywhere.
'What is this underground facility!? The Umbrella Corp!? Are they breeding Tama's siblings here?'
A grin appeared on Misha's face.
'If my thought is correct, there should be dead eggs or my precious jellies around.'
*Mew* *Mew*
Tama pointed its tentacle, gesturing Misha a direction. Upon looking at the thing Tama was pointing, Misha cringed.
It was an area with a dozen green egg monsters at the size of 3 meters in height, sealed in a block of cubic ice each.
'I can't go over there, Tama. I need to heal myself first. Do you know that a normal person would have died a hundred times over by now?'
*Nom-Nom Mew*
'Something I can eat?'
*Mew!*
'Is it the jelly!?'
*Meh-Heh Mew!*
A flame of passion burned in Masha's mind.
As Misha rechecked her hunger bar status, it was already at 30%, which should have been over 140% in less than an hour ago.
The more Misha used her mutated strength, the hungrier she got.
Moreover, her inner desire began picturing raw food, and it was replacing her thought!
'My precious … My jellies.'
Though she was injured to the point that ordinary human should have fallen unconscious, Misha dragged her sorry body to the direction that Tama guided.
A few minutes after crawling with her cracking torso, she reached the cube that Tama wanted Misha to see.
'My precious …'
Hundreds of gels were sealed inside tall Petri dishes, storing inside the chemical glass shelves within the ice. Unlike the previous jelly that Misha had eaten, these gels had the same yellow color as Tama.
Touching the surface of the ice, her hand stuck on it.
'Whoops. Tama, help please.'
As if it knew what Misha wanted to do, Tama sprayed a bit of yellow juice around her hand, saving her from the potential frostbite.
Tama did not stop there, its tentacles began working on the ice, trying to melt it.
Five minutes later, Tama created a small hole in the ice. Misha also extended her tongue and took one of the sealed dishes out.
After she opened the seal, the familiar fishy aroma of the jelly exuded out.
*Mew*
Tama begged for a share, which Misha splitted the jelly in half and passed it over while she put the remaining into her mouth.
The yellow gel did not disappoint her.
