Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 27 The source of the curse?

“And the scariest thing is...”

Zhu Gefu concluded: "All cursed people will eventually suffer from 'death addiction'. This is inevitable."

"That's for sure." Xie Shen nodded in agreement. "After all, people will die eventually. So no matter how long a person lives, as long as he is cursed, he will eventually experience the pleasure of death and gradually become addicted."

"Ugh"

in the room.

Zhuge Fu suddenly sighed and said with a hint of loneliness: "So, we underground people will be destroyed sooner or later."

"And it was only after humans discovered the art of resurrection that they went extinct."

"I have to say, this is really ironic." Having said this, Zhuge Fu suddenly stood up from his chair and invited Xie Shen, "Are you interested in taking a look at my research on curses? I have thought of many ways to save myself."

"Let's forget it." Xie Shen frowned and said, "You have already described the curse so harshly, so of course I want to return to the surface as soon as possible. I wonder if you could help lead the way?"

Zhuge Fu seemed to have anticipated Xie Shen's request.

He raised his left hand and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist: "It's about two o'clock in the afternoon now. It takes about four to five hours to get from my village to the surface. In other words, if you go back at this time, it will be dark almost as soon as you reach the surface."

Xie Shen understood what Zhuge Fu meant: "So if I want to leave, it would be best if I leave at two or three o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"Ah."

Zhuge Fu invited again, "So, since you have nothing to do during this period of time, why don't you come with me to the laboratory for a tour?"

In order to dispel Xie Shen's doubts, after making the invitation, he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, I just want to trouble you with something."

"Then, whether you agree or not, I will personally take you to the surface at three o'clock in the morning."

"Is this okay?"

Since Zhuge Fu has already said this, and Xie Shen is indeed curious about what the other party is researching underground.

So after a brief hesitation, Xie Shen also stood up from his chair: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look!"

"okay!"

Seeing Xie Shen agreed, Zhuge Fu seemed a little impatient: "Let's go!"

After saying that, he took the lead and left the room.

On the way, he chattered with Xie Shen as he walked: "Don't worry, although there is a curse underground, as long as you don't stay there for too long, you won't be infected immediately."

This underground village is not very big.

Xie Shen had only taken a few steps when he arrived at the stone house where Zhuge Fu lived.

In the room, you can see a wide variety of instruments and equipment.

Among them, there are some that Xie Shen can recognize at a glance: such as flasks, microscopes, and alcohol lamps.

But there are also many complex instruments that Xie Shen cannot even name.

Not only that.

There are sound-absorbing sponges on the walls of the stone house, which is used to isolate sound.

The floor is covered with marble tiles. In order to prevent moisture, a layer of wax is even applied in the gaps.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Zhuge Fu was obviously very satisfied with his laboratory.

The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a look of pride and pride.

——The curse suffered by the underground people will only affect their bodies. As for the pleasure and pain caused to the mind, they will not be reversed.

Therefore, Zhuge Fu can enjoy the positive feedback brought by the emotion of "pride".

house.

Looking at the painting style and scene that was completely different from the underground village, Xie Shen exclaimed sincerely: "It's really amazing! It's not easy to build such a laboratory in this place!"

"I can't do it alone." Zhuge Fu explained: "Other people in the village, and even the underground people in the nearby villages, have contributed to some extent and helped." "After all, the purpose of building the laboratory is to study how to remove the curse and find the source of the curse."

"So helping me build this lab is like saving yourself."

Zhuge Fu introduced: "Then most of the equipment in the laboratory was found by villagers who ventured to the city ruins."

"There are also a few things that we asked the people on the space station for."

"Okay, okay." Xie Shen walked back and forth in the laboratory.

He suddenly looked puzzled and asked, "By the way, I see there are lights in your laboratory, so where does your electricity come from?"

"It's hydroelectric," Zhuge Fu replied, "There's an underground river not far from our village."

"Then the water in the upper reaches of the underground river falls from the surface. In addition, our village is at least 500 meters below the surface, so the gravitational potential energy provided by the water flow is very large. Anyway, it is more than enough to supply my laboratory."

"Awesome!" Xie Shen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration once again at the thought of making full use of the natural environment underground.

"No more nonsense."

In the laboratory.

Zhuge Fu walked over to an instrument that looked like a radar.

While fiddling with the radar instrument, he chatted with Xie Shen, "Although I have been researching for nearly a hundred years, I still haven't found a way to remove the curse. But the 'Infrasonic Capture Device' I developed has successfully captured the curse underground."

"Capture the curse?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard that.

Zhuge Fu did not reply, but focused all his attention on the "infrasonic arrester".

He adjusted the position of the instrument slightly.

After the power was turned on, he said to Xie Shen mysteriously, "How is it? Do you want to hear what the underground curse is like?"

“No need.” Xie Shen suppressed his curiosity and said cautiously, “If you are accidentally infected with the curse, it will be troublesome.”

"What are you afraid of!"

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Fu turned on the switch of the "infrasonic arrester" without Xie Shen's consent.

"woo"

"Naughty"

At this moment, a strange whisper that was difficult to describe in words came into Xie Shen's mind from the "Infrasonic Arrestor".

The whispers sounded horrific, terrifying, and sickening.

Influenced by this sound, Xie Shen subconsciously put his hand on his forehead.

He suppressed his discomfort and angrily said to Zhuge Fu: "Are you using me as an experiment?"

Seeing Xie Shen's abnormal behavior, Zhuge Fu's eyes flashed with fanaticism.

He said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, you are the only normal person who appeared underground in these years."

“I really have no choice.”

As he spoke, Zhuge Fu suddenly changed his normal behavior and showed a crazy expression.

He murmured to himself, "I knew it: the infrasound waves underground are the source of the curse. My previous guess was absolutely correct! So."

In the laboratory.

Before Zhuge Fu could finish his words, Xie Shen disappeared at lightning speed.

'Boom'!
next second.

Accompanied by a loud crash, Zhuge Fu was thrown backwards in an instant.

——He was kicked by Xie Shen and hit hard on the "subsonic arrester".

In the blink of an eye, the laboratory became a mess.
