I’m Really Scared
Chapter 56: Come In, You

Outside the ironworks, the team on standby saw a sudden burst of scorching light from the center.

Tang Zhi was stunned and quickly asked, "What is that?! Is there a drone ambush here?!"

The logistics member operating the energy level detector shook his head, cold sweat on his forehead, "Energy level response is only D-level, not a drone."

Tang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Just D-level, then it's fine. The captain can handle it."

Xia Lei looked at the rolling molten iron, feeling a sense of foreboding. He frowned and opened his earpiece, connecting to Gao Ye, "Ye'zi, what's the situation?"

Energy level response doesn't represent the strength of the ability, and one must never let their guard down.

As soon as the connection was made, Gao Ye's strained and loud voice came through, "Dangerous! The enemy can control molten iron! I'm not their match!"

She only had time to shout this before falling silent. There was the sound of deep breathing, followed by the ringing of a blade.

The sound coming through the earpiece was like the noise of splitting a tide.

Xia Lei's heart sank, taking a deep breath, and he turned to the barrier specialist code-named "Screen," "Can you hold it?"

"Screen" was stunned and replied, "B-level is possible."

"Alright."

Xia Lei nodded, raising his hand and spreading his fingers towards the ironworks.

Gao Ye, mid-air, had no time to react, barely managing to block with her sword before being overwhelmed by the covering light and heat.

The melting point of iron is 1535°C, and the boiling point is 2750°C.

In an instant, under the intervention of Experimental Subject 53, the temperature of the molten iron rose abnormally, directly exceeding 2000°C.

The surging waves of molten iron were like erupting lava, the terrifying high temperature melting and vaporizing everything around, including houses and the ground, making it part of itself.

When they collided, it was easy to imagine what would happen to anyone caught in it...

Even a B-level physical reinforcement Esper would have difficulty withstanding it.

Moreover, Gao Ye was not one of those.

In an instant, the molten iron collided, submerging the girl, with a hissing sound and a large amount of white mist rising. The entire ironworks seemed to turn into a scorching hell.

If anyone stepped in, they would either die or be physically skinned.

"Shit!"

Guan Shan's eyes widened, frozen in place, feeling a chill throughout his body.

To him, it seemed as if the surrounding flesh walls were like bursting abscesses, spewing a large amount of dark green and yellow corrosive liquid.

Not only were they foul and filthy, but they also emitted an unusual and terrifying high temperature. Just looking at it caused immense psychological harm.

He didn't even want to touch it!

"This is nuclear waste, isn't it?!"

The rolling pus blocked all vision. Guan Shan could only see the rapidly descending shield bar in mid-air.

The benefit of [Immovable] activated immediately, meaning the swordswoman now had ten thousand health.

But this was just a drop in the bucket. The shield bar's rate of decrease was horrifying, bottoming out in the blink of an eye, showing how high the nuclear waste's damage was.

While avoiding the yellow pus, Guan Shan checked the humanoid monster emerging from the flesh walls, like a manifestation of the corrosive liquid.

[BOSS[Stagnant Water] Yellow Springs (lv.12)]

[HP: 19765/20000]

[Description: Come In, You~]

"This really is a hellish Yellow Springs! It's both yellow and deadly!"

Guan Shan couldn't help but complain, "And what's with this description? Is it taunting me? Do you think I don't dare to go in?!"

"...I really don't!"

Who would dare?

Guan Shan was genuinely terrified by its attributes, feeling a cold chill. "The BOSS's difficulty is unreasonable. It's not just thick health; why is the attack power so high? The NPC's damage is too low..."

The monster's head continuously showed red numbers, but compared to its twenty thousand health, it was negligible.

At this moment, the shield bar was completely shattered, the deity image entering cooldown.

The NPC's health bar started to drop rapidly. Just as Guan Shan was on edge, familiar blade light appeared!

"Swish—"

The clear sound of a drawn sword echoed through the ironworks. Gao Ye cut through the surrounding molten iron and lava.

She leaped out, falling to the ground and rolling twice, landing not far from Guan Shan.

"Hah... hah..."

Gao Ye panted heavily, covered in burn marks, still emitting heat.

The molten iron immediately surged towards her.

Guan Shan hesitated, then grabbed the swordswoman's arm and started running.

[Gravity Control] activated!

"Take this!"

He handed her a [Painkiller] and a [Strong Healing Potion].

The [Painkiller] was a healing item, but its effect was only as good as the [Entwined Flesh Parasite], slowly restoring health.

As for the [Strong Healing Potion], sacrificing some health for a near full heal was worth it for the swordswoman's five thousand health.

Guan Shan thought, "It's an NPC, might as well use it..."

Gao Ye realized these were from the "Killer Bees" Guan Shan had looted earlier.

In the emergency, she quickly took all the medicine, feeling her injuries heal rapidly, and relaxed slightly.

Seeing Guan Shan's pale face, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you that scared?"

"Yes!"

Guan Shan admitted without hesitation, since it was an NPC, righteously saying, "I'm scared shitless! Those monsters... I mean those beasts, and this water, are so disgusting and brutal, who wouldn't be scared?!"

Gao Ye thought, what are you afraid of... didn't you kill them all?

Guan Shan ran in circles with Gao Ye, the molten iron chasing like a flood.

"We're gonna die..."

Cold sweat drenched Guan Shan, his heart pounding, wishing he could fly.

"Gravity Control only lasts five seconds at a time. At this rate, we'll be caught!"

Guan Shan saw the bisected head ahead, realizing they had run a full circle.

Despite the urgency, he picked up the drops he missed earlier. Searching through, he found a useful item.

[Damaged Blood Vial]

[Effect: Boosts health by 50% and greatly increases strength for 3 seconds, possibly causing physical mutation; some effects may persist.]

[Description: Blood from a certain entity, stored in a special container, still holding some power despite being broken.]

"This is it!"

Guan Shan was overjoyed, thinking about the plot and hints, "Burn out... burn out... you come in..."

Mumbling to himself, he suddenly realized, "Shit, could it be..."

Gao Ye saw his expressions change dramatically and asked, "Did you find something?"

Unwilling to give up, Guan Shan glanced back at the humanoid pus monster, seeing the weak spot indicator in the heart area, seemingly inside...

His expression changed several times, looking at the foul-smelling liquid. Taking a deep breath, he made up his mind.

Simulator, you win!

Guan Shan, determined, turned to Gao Ye, "Split up; distract it..."

Gao Ye realized what he meant, "And you?"

Guan Shan charged towards the molten flood, his back unwavering, filled with killing intent, "I'll kill the main body!"
