I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 642: Memories of Shadow

The massive attack came to an abrupt halt.

The black smoke in the sky shrank back and turned into a human form.

The black shadow reached out and took the falling Coke.

It was obviously stunned, holding the Coke can for a long time. After a while, a faint black smoke floated out of its body, and it pried open the pull ring on the Coke can.

"Clap!"

Brown-black liquid rolled out with white bubbles. The bubbles kept bursting, and Coke dripped from the side of the can and spilled into the sky.

The black shadow held the Coke can and remained silent.

Under Mo Ling's shocked gaze, the black shadow actually picked up the can of Coke and poured it on his head, but the Coke went straight through the black shadow's illusory body and floated into the air.

"It's this smell, yes, I have already forgotten it..." The black shadow muttered in a daze, as if he recalled something.

It finally calmed down, holding the Coke can, and did not attack Mo Ling again.

The dark head slowly looked towards the block in the sky.

"Has someone finally found me? Where are you from? The Pipe Fortress? Or somewhere else?"

The black shadow eagerly threw a lot of questions at Mo Ling. Before Mo Ling could think of how to answer, the black shadow continued to ask.

"Are you a relic? Or some kind of technological creation? What is the current technological level of mankind?"

These questions made Mo Ling even more confused about how to answer. He looked at the electronic screen in the cube, intending to find out the identity of the black shadow first.

After writing some simple questions on the electronic screen, Mo Ling directly transmitted the electronic screen to the front of the black shadow, and the black shadow directly grabbed the electronic screen.

However, Black Shadow didn't seem to understand how to use the electronic screen. After fiddling with it for a while, he noticed the problem on the screen:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Mo Ling was still wary of the black shadow. Although it spoke human language and its logic and behavior were consistent with humans, its strange appearance still made people very suspicious. So, Mo Ling did not answer its questions first, but asked about its origins.

The black shadow stared at the words on the electronic screen in a daze for a long time.

"It's been a long time since I saw human writing."

It stroked the electronic screen nostalgically, gently lifted it in front of itself, and looked at it for a while.

"Is this the current human technology? It's amazing."

The dull and strange sound came from its body again.

"I can't remember my name, but I remember that I am a member of the Pipeline Fortress Development Group..."

……

"The first residential area has been completed. It is right above the current residential area. The living conditions there are much better. Hurry and move there..."

Dark Shadow vaguely remembered that before he came here, he was organizing the relocation of people in the old residential area of ​​Pipeline Fortress.

The environment in the old residential area was terrible, but people were used to living there and were not willing to leave. He was given a task to persuade those stubborn elements to move out. Although he was not very interested in this task, he had no way to disobey the order. He could only go to persuade those who were unwilling to move out every day.

He may not be good at other things, but he is very thick-skinned, and people often get annoyed by him and start cursing at him.

He just stood there, let others finish scolding him, and then continued to persuade them.

They were all people who could reach the fourth level of the abyss, and none of them were so stubborn. After scolding them, they calmed down. Most of them would apologize, pack up and move away. Some people knew that they were impulsive and offered him two cigarettes, but he politely declined.

"No, just move out early... I'm on a mission and can't smoke."

After some refusal, he always took a can of Coke from others and left quietly.

They were all companions in exploring the abyss, and there was no ill will between them, but the environment was too bad, and there were always casualties, so everyone was full of hostility. Too much pressure would transfer negative energy to the people around them.

He knows this very well, so he won't take it to heart with those who scold him.

With such persistent persuasion, the number of residents in the old residential area gradually decreased.

"You've done a good job. Let's move everyone out as soon as possible. The conditions in the Residential Area Zero are too bad, and the pipeline fortress still needs to be renovated, which may have an impact on the structure there. If you stay there, you may get hurt. Tell them the interests involved, and they will understand."

His superiors thought he was very efficient and asked him to keep working hard. It was at this time that he learned that the old residential area was now called "Residential Area Zero."

The major renovation of the Pipe Fortress is about to begin. The pipe structure of the No. 0 residential area will change. If you continue to live in it, you will be injured at best, and at worst you will be directly crushed by the changed pipes.

After he told the "nail households" about the interests at stake, they quickly packed up their things and moved out.

"Sure enough, people will only seriously consider it when their own interests are involved."

He persuaded people much faster, and gradually, only one household was left in residential area zero.

"Room 0123."

In order to complete the task as soon as possible, he moved directly into Room 0122, and patiently persuaded the residents of Room 0123 every day. Not only did he explain the pros and cons of relocation clearly, he also asked his superiors for some benefits, and promised that the residents of Room 0123 could get these benefits as long as they moved.

But the resident of room 0123 just didn't want to move out.

The person living in room 0123 is a senior of the pioneer group. He is very old and has a bad temper. He keeps flipping through a pile of old books every day. No one knows how he found these books when supplies are so scarce in the abyss.

"Old man, please go quickly. I will help you move the books."

"Go away, don't disturb me from reading."

"The pipeline fortress will be renovated soon, and no one can live here. You will get hurt then." He persuaded very patiently, although he had said this many times.

"Come and tell me when the renovation starts." The old senior still looked indifferent.

"You have to leave first before we can start the transformation. The higher-ups will not ignore your safety."

"Wait until the transformation is completed before I leave." The old senior said lightly.

"You have to leave first before you can reform."

"..."

The old man stood up and hit him on the head with the book.

"Get out! If it weren't for your good attitude, I would have done it a long time ago! I said I would move out, so don't bother me anymore! Just tell your superiors, and I will leave when the renovation begins, no need to rush me."

"Okay, I'll try." Covering his head, he agreed helplessly.

He knew that if he really said that, he would definitely be scolded by his superiors again.

This is a veteran of the pioneering group. No one would risk hurting him when starting the transformation. Although it sounds simple and he will leave once the work starts, who can guarantee that the veteran will not get hurt?

No one is willing to take responsibility, so he is forced to do this offensive thing.

There are traffic jams at both ends, and you will be scolded wherever you go.

Thinking of this, he was unwilling to leave and stayed in front of the old senior's door.

"If you don't want to leave, just stay here and don't disturb me while I'm reading."

The old man waved his hand and went back to reading...

"Is this book really that good? Why do I have to read it here? Wouldn't it be the same if I read it somewhere else?" He covered his aching forehead and muttered softly.
