These Tentacles Are Eager to Stick Close!Ch3 - Fortune in a Disaster (X)

Translator: Deyonna

At the moment when the little octopus was struggling whether to drill or not, he suddenly heard a scream. n13GCc

“Captain!”

Wang Yuan, who was holding the contamination index tester, suddenly had a drastic change in his facial expression.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“The contamination index is beginning to soar violently!”

Ye Yunfan suddenly came to his senses and turned around to see the green numbers rapidly changing, as if being soaked in blood, and finally froze into a bright red color—— E5lH4s

Contamination index: 99.99

Crack.

Just as a very faint crackling sound was heard, it was immediately drowned out by Jon’s even more terrified voice.

“Not good! The raw crystal inside has shattered!”

The raw crystal is an extremely sensitive crystal to contaminants and is also the core principle of the contamination detector. When the raw crystal shatters, it means that the pollution index at this moment has exceeded the measurement range.

In the instant when the words fell, the original pitch-black seabed was stained with a hazy and eerie red color, as if the cemetery sleeping at the bottom of the sea had awakened.

Everyone’s face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Because the contamination index suddenly skyrocketed…There is only one possible explanation for this situation. F3PLS

The ‘door’ is about to open!

In an instant, Chen Xinyue’s pupils suddenly dilated to the extreme. Her voice immediately raised, to the point of almost breaking.

“Run——!”

The team members are all people who walk on the edge of life and death. This one word needs no explanation. Without any hesitation, everyone immediately took action. WDOnm5

Even Ye Yunfan moved.

However, while those people were quickly evacuating, he floated and his eight tentacles excitedly went in the opposite direction.

Or more accurately, it should be advancing towards the open glass jar.

Ye Yunfan: ??? QeS UM

At this moment, he felt like he was being dragged by a group of excited huskies madly scampering forward.

Fuck!

Couldn’t pull back!

Ye Yunfan closed his eyes in pain. NVYZAC

Couldn’t pull back at all!

The time was too short, and Ye Yunfan had not had time to adapt to this non-human body, nor had he fully controlled the behavior of the tentacles.

So when he came back to his senses, he found himself already squeezed into the glass jar.

[Ah~] Muwe2B

[Fufu~]

This feeling is like climbing Mount Tai and then soaking in a hot spring pool. Every cell in the body is sending out a comfortable moan.

Even the confused Ye Yunfan couldn’t help but let out a comfortable sigh.

But the next second, the ground shook loudly. 72e8FI

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The terrifying sound of the ground cracking continued one after another, each one louder than the last.

The dead city let out a painful moan, and the floor was torn open by a huge crack that instantly spanned dozens of meters.

Countless buildings in the olden days collapsed and fell into the abyss. 5UPEO1

The apocalyptic scene made Ye Yunfan’s blood run cold, and the silly laughter of the little tentacles suddenly stopped. They curled up and became as quiet as a chicken.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The big crack continued to spread, as if it was going to split the huge city remains in half.

Under the crack, a red light shone brightly, like the lord of the underworld opening his crimson eyes and peering into the world. aCvYwl

In an instant, the seawater within a hundred meters’ range rushed in with a loud rumble, forming a terrifying whirlpool.

It carried a destructive power, crushing everything into fragments.

The surging and screaming waves were like bloodthirsty beasts, biting down on the fragile glass jar, dragging it and the little octopus inside out.

Not good! 2D5nyJ

Ye Yunfan’s heart sank.

He knew that these empty-headed little devils were unreliable!

But Ye Yunfan was unable to resist at the moment, and in the blink of an eye, the octopus and the jar were swept into the terrifying underwater vortex.

At the same time, all members of the Seventh Team were fleeing frantically. The building ruins where they were standing just now were shattered in an instant, and the terrifying whirlpool swallowed everything like a raging storm. LjIyD8

“Captain!”

“Save……ah—”

Jon, who was on his first mission, was obviously panicked and was swept away by the current after swimming only a few meters.

“Shut up!” 3EcGUu

A big hand grabbed him tightly by the collar from behind.

Jon was stunned for a moment and immediately recognized that the voice in the communication chip came from the fierce Brother Wang.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He turned around in a mix of surprise and joy, only to find that the man’s arm muscles were exaggeratedly expanding and even bursting out of his combat suit, viciously displaying his strength like a wild beast.

Wang Yuan pulled him back and handed him over like a little chick to Chen Xinyue who was next to him, speaking in an impatient tone. rPYkaE

“Your person, take care of it!”

After speaking, he turned his head and grabbed the shaky steel bars, climbing against the current like a fierce and agile giant ape.

Chen Xinyue frowned and didn’t answer, but she also reached out and grabbed Jon’s collar tightly. She took off her helmet, revealing a pretty yet resolute face.

But in the next second, the woman’s profile turned pale and the side of her cheeks showed clear concave marks, then they quickly transformed into a fish gill-like appearance. KUMpwZ

The manic currents around them immediately seemed to be guided by some strange force, slightly slowing down.

Jon stared at her in amazement, realizing that the captain’s mutation was towards fishlike creatures. No wonder the higher-ups assigned their team to dive and investigate.

Chen Xinyue glanced at Wang Yuan’s back and didn’t hesitate. She quickly pulled the newcomer to the nearest safe point.

Safe points usually depend on existing terrain and structures, are supported by machinery, and are stable but very small. They are usually only enough to accommodate two people at most. So Wang Yuan had to give up the nearest one and quickly move to another safe point. W EiIh

On the other side, several veteran team members also quickly dispersed and dived into their respective safe points.

Some people were lucky, while others were not so fortunate.

This was because, apart from a few colossal building remains, everything else was sucked into the vortex like gravel.

Ye Yunfan, who was in the midst of it all, saw this scene very clearly—— MPjDgk

The rapidly rotating waves gave the debris an almost terrifying kinetic energy, so in just a few seconds, this massive underwater vortex turned into a giant meat grinder.

“Damn it… The information… was wrong… otherworldly plane… metamorphosis…!”

Ye Yunfan couldn’t fully hear what Captain Chen was saying, but he could clearly sense her shock, anger, and fear.

However, what did she mean by “otherworldly plane” and “metamorphosis”? tCGRzk

Ye Yunfan had an intuition that this was something he needed to know.

Hold on!

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

The man named Wang Yuan had also said something similar earlier.

[Tsk, the data from a common contamination detector is so low. It’s probably just a D-level newborn otherworldly plane. I’m afraid it hasn’t even completed its first metamorphosis.] jNt1oa

The little octopus recalled the words the man had said earlier, and his mind began to operate rapidly, analyzing the secrets hidden within those words.

If taken literally, the former might refer to some kind of alternate dimension, while the latter refers to the abnormal development process of insects.

If the two were to be connected, it could possibly mean…

In an instant, an unbelievable guess flashed through Ye Yunfan’s mind, and he was instantly horrified. WPQUFk

——Alive!

That thing might be alive!!!

The little octopus immediately turned his head to look toward the center of the whirlpool, urgently wanting to verify his guess.

But now Ye Yunfan only felt like he was thrown into a blender. Everything around him was spinning, and he could only hear terrifying noises from all directions. He couldn’t see anything clearly. jqUhGP

Amidst the chaos, there were also some weak and fearful screams mixed in.

“Help… Help me!!!”

“Captain! Captain!!!”

“Ahhh zizi…” th96SU

The communication chip first transmitted a sharp and painful scream, then turned into a meaningless noise.

——Communication was cut off.

Jon was pinned down by the captain in the corner, and saw a small burst of blood in the murky and massive vortex, disappearing quickly like a drop in the pan.

Jon’s face turned deathly pale, and he stood there in a daze. He didn’t know if the fierce Brother Wang just now was inside. G05d6u

He didn’t dare to think about it.

Meanwhile, inside the whirlpool, Ye Yunfan was being tossed around violently, feeling as if his brain had been turned into mush.

At first, the little tentacles started screaming and shouting, saying they felt dizzy and very scared. But now they were probably feeling very dizzy, or maybe they felt safe inside the jar, so they were just groaning uncomfortably.

In just a few minutes, Ye Yunfan had become familiar with the body of the octopus hatchling. He immediately took control of the body and directed the tentacles to firmly attach to the jar wall, stabilizing themselves. 8bBgCd

In the swirling current, there were things constantly and wildly hitting them, such as building debris, rusty pieces of metal, and other unidentifiable objects.

But they didn’t know what material the small jar was made of, yet it was able to withstand the impact and was even more sturdy than the reinforced concrete.

“Phew…”

Ye Yunfan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better. b6AZ4s

Although they were temporarily trapped here, fortunately, the small jar was sturdy enough, so they should be relatively safe for a short period of time.

“This is really considered as gaining a fortune in a disaster.”

The “disaster” he referred to was the fact that he was instigated by these little tentacles to drill into the jar. If it weren’t for that, Ye Yunfan had originally planned to secretly hide in one of the safe points set up by the humans.

One of the little tentacles noticed Ye Yunfan’s relaxation, and its previously wilted appearance suddenly disappeared. hXitJ4

[He! Jar!]

It slapped on the jar wall and puffed out its chest proudly, indicating that it had done a great job.

[Jar! Safe!]

However, the next second— ubPeBL

Crack!

A small crack suddenly appeared on the jar wall in front of them.

The little tentacle suddenly froze and immediately stuck itself to the crack with a “squelch”, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.

Crack crack—— pMti9a

Clear cracking sounds came one after another, and the originally hairline-thin crack suddenly spread, covering the entire jar wall like a spider web in the blink of an eye.

Now even eight little tentacles couldn’t cover it up.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ye Yunfan, who was watching the whole process: “……”

Heh, as expected. Ul7yb6

He knew it!!!

The author has something to say:

Little Octopus has retracted the phrase “gaining a fortune in a disaster” and changed it to “extreme joy begets sorrow”.

Remember to check out the beautiful new cover oh~ It features a little tentacle holding a flower, and the flower is an Eyeball Rose. 1wY sp
