Universe Infinite Canteen

By the time Ma Lu realized, there were already more than a dozen Mimic Jellyfish clinging to his back.

Moreover, even more jellyfish were drifting towards him, prompting Ma Lu to hurriedly remove his clothes, but several jellyfish had already stuck to his body, on his neck, back, and even his buttocks.

Seeing the situation turn grim, Ma Lu didn't think about retrieving the Collection Bag anymore and quickly found an empty room to rush into, and immediately closed the door.

These Mimic Jellyfish moved far slower compared to the aggressive piranha zebra fish, to call their movement crawling would not be an exaggeration.

Even the closest Mimic Jellyfish was still steps away when the door shut.

Seeing that he was temporarily safe, Ma Lu began to deal with the Mimic Jellyfish on his body.

However, no matter how much he tugged, cut with a knife, or shot with a gun, he couldn't remove the jellyfish from his body, and could only watch helplessly as they gradually fused with his flesh.

The Mimic Jellyfish roamed across his body and within a short while, Ma Lu's body was numb on one side.

Realizing the dire straits, he couldn't delay any longer, fearing complete paralysis in a matter of seconds, rendering it impossible to even die. Also considering he had lost the Collection Bag, he decisively grabbed the knife and reopened.

It was actually thanks to his previous reckless spending on blind boxes that he now could act without hesitation.

With one stab, he accurately pierced his heart, and then collapsed into a pool of blood, and in his last view before dying, he saw a Mimic Jellyfish slowly passing through the alloy door, drifting towards the room.

Damn! What the heck is this thing!

Reviving once more in front of the urinal, Ma Lu began to miss Rabbit Man, whose combat prowess among the prisoners was not the strongest, but his knowledge on Space Fish was above most.

Had he been there, the likelihood of being helpless in the previous situation would have been reduced.

This also instilled a stronger sense of urgency in Ma Lu, necessitating a quicker rendezvous with Rabbit Man, if he hadn't perished by then.

Armed again with magnetic gloves and a doll, Ma Lu once again approached the group of Mimic Jellyfish.

The capabilities of these jellyfish were quite eerie; not only could they blend color-wise with their surroundings, but they could also completely merge into anything they desired.

Even the Chef's Knife had no effect on them, however, they had weaknesses too – slow movement, and compared to other Space Fish, they had very low attack desires.

Had Ma Lu not been a meddler, attempting to catch one, he wouldn't have incited a siege.

Revisiting the spot, he made no hesitation; setting his jet boots to maximum thrust, he crossed the jellyfish corridor in just nine seconds.

Looking back, he saw that the Mimic Jellyfish were still quietly floating on the ceiling, as if unaware of his presence.

Ma Lu felt regret as he watched so many Six-star ingredients in front of him, yet unattainable.

However, now he truly found no means to counter these Mimic Jellyfish, and thus could only leave them here for now, to revisit after meeting with Rabbit Man later.

As for whether these Mimic Jellyfish would still be here then, it would be left to fate.

Ma Lu continued forward and walked about fifty more steps when suddenly the front opened up.

A vast hall appeared before him, with an elevator tower at its center.

However, unlike the previous fish cages, the elevator lobby here is not enclosed but open, with the elevator tower standing in the center of the cylinder, connected by metal bridges and supports to the terraces of various floors.

This means that even without taking the elevator, one can use the zero-gravity environment in space to go to other floors' terraces.

Of course, in emergencies, the gates between the terraces and the cabins can be closed to prevent enemies from directly accessing other floors from the elevator lobby.

However, after being converted into a fish cage, many gates have also been damaged and are permanently open, ensuring that more Space Fish can enter the fish cage.

As the central area connecting various floors, it is bustling here now.

More than thirty anglers have gathered, many of them, like Ma Lu, planning to meet with teammates on other floors.

After meeting, they erupted into conflict, coveting one another's weapons and catches.

In the end, those who are still alive found cover here.

With more and more people arriving, breaking out has become increasingly difficult; as soon as someone shows their head, they are immediately greeted with moves from others.

Ma Lu had just arrived when he saw a guy, who didn't believe in bad luck, trying to use a rocket propulsion backpack to go to the next level, but he had just taken off when he was hit by at least a dozen weapons, and finally turned into a fireball under a grenade.

This discouraged him from trying his luck with jet boots, although Ma Lu could still avoid attacks by constantly reversing time, but as always, when the attacks reached a certain level, it was not something that could be dodged by moving.

If there were only about ten people, Ma Lu might have tried, but now there are too many people, and this place is also some distance from the save point; Ma Lu doesn't want to spend another ten minutes running here every time he dies.

Since fighting alone doesn't work, Ma Lu plans to use his old trick again and form a team.

Simply put, the reason so many people are stuck here, unable to move, is that no side has shown overwhelming strength.

Ma Lu estimates that as long as he can pull together a small team of five to six people, probably no one would dare to attack them at will.

Of course, considering that everyone from facility number 444 is a villain, forming a wild team is also quite risky, perhaps even riskier than going solo.

But Ma Lu doesn't want to linger here any longer; he wants to find Rabbit Man soon, and maybe even return to pack up the mimic jellyfish.

Thinking this, he immediately started to take action and began scouting for teammates.

Bad guys also differ.

Some are bad but still willing to follow some rules, or their minds are fairly simple and easy to manipulate; Ma Lu targets these two types of people.

His gaze swiftly swept over the people present, quickly spotting a suitable candidate.

That was a big man with muscles surpassing Tyson, bare-chested with granite-like developed pectoral muscles, holding a patterned Battle Axe in his hands.

Just like a mythical Norse pirate.

Except the color of his skin was a bit strange, slightly purplish; it wasn't clear whether it was from too many drugs or naturally that way.

And not far from him, the little Huzi confronting him was also placed on Ma Lu's candidate list; unlike others, Huzi had teammates, but he was severely injured with several gunshot wounds to the abdomen, lying on the ground, looking as if he wouldn't last long.

But Huzi didn't abandon him, which shows he is quite honorable.
