Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 324: Scared! I was locked up in the mysterious white prison

In order to fight against the hidden family, and also to rescue the school belle as soon as possible.

At Li Xiu's request, the silicon-based man Hope temporarily built a laboratory in an abandoned underground warehouse outside the city of Gabriel, and also purchased many high-tech blueprints that were publicly sold from the trading market.

Besides.

Considering that it is difficult for Earthlings to adapt to the hot environment on the silicon-based people's planet, Li Xiu also requested that Hope purchase several liquid coolers for cooling.

When everything was ready, Li Xiu immediately sent over a dozen scientists, led by Zhuge Fu, just to master the high-tech drawings of the silicon-based people as soon as possible.

As for why Li Xiu himself did not go.
According to him:

The reason why Xie Shen and others can keep in touch with the main base of the Milky Way is because Li Xiu has been sitting in the omniscient and omnipotent chair, helping to calibrate the time and space coordinates at any time.

As long as Xie Shen and others don't return to the Milky Way, Li Xiu will never be able to leave the chair of omniscience and omnipotence.

Otherwise, Xie Shen and his team would immediately lose contact with the Milky Way.

...

in this way.

time flies.

In order to save the Milky Way and for the future of all mankind, a group of scientists led by Zhuge Fu were almost crazy and desperately learning the technology from the silicon-based people.

No entertainment, no rest.

Driven by the desire to survive and a sense of collective honor, these scientists mastered about 70% to 80% of the high-tech drawings purchased by the silicon-based man Hope in less than three months.

Relying on the technology learned from the silicon-based people, Li Xiu further upgraded the shelter built on the Black Worm Star.

This means that under the influence of the zero-dimensional annihilation weapon, the shelter, which could only last for three months, can now last for more than three years.

At this point, Li Xiu and others who were struggling to survive on the Black Worm Star finally got a moment to catch their breath.

They are safe.

temporary.

...

...

Gabriel's outskirts.

Deep underground.

"Hey, wake up."

In a daze, the silicon-based man Burgess felt someone shaking him, so he suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around.

Seeing that he was in a narrow, pure white room, and there was another silicon-based person staring at him blankly, he subconsciously sent a telegram to him, "Where is this place?"

"I don't know." The silicon-based man shook his head and said, "I'm the same as you. I just woke up not long ago."

"When I woke up, I found myself locked up here for no apparent reason."

Is that so?
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, the silicon-based man Burgess stopped talking to the stranger and just continued to observe the situation around him.

suddenly.

He found an inconspicuous, palm-sized display screen in the corner of the room, so he asked the strange silicon-based man, "What is this display screen used for?"

"unclear"

The strange silicon-based man turned his head and glanced at the display screen.

Because the display screen was too small, the strange silicon-based man moved his head closer in order to see it more clearly.

He put his head against the screen and said, "On this screen, there is a drink cup, a hammer, a lead ball, and a large piece of silicate sprinkled with metal powder, which looks quite delicious."

"What does this mean?"

"I don't know." Burgess shook his head and tried to instigate the strange silicon-based man: "Why don't you try pressing the pattern on the screen?"

Just try it.

The strange silicon-based man didn't think much about it. He followed Burgess's instructions and nodded to the drink cup pattern on the screen.

'Rumble'

The moment he pressed the pattern, Burgess felt the whole room shaking violently.

This made him feel a little flustered and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know!" The strange silicon-based man also seemed a little panicked.

After about a minute of shaking in the room, a gap suddenly opened up on the ceiling of the room, and a beverage cup filled with unknown liquid fell out of the gap.

"Great, there's water!"

Seeing water falling from the ceiling, the strange silicon-based man immediately showed an expression of ecstasy.

He picked up the drink cup, unscrewed the lid, and took a small sip.

"Um"

The stranger silicon-based person tasted it and gave his evaluation: "This seems to be hydrogen fluoride mixed with toluene. Not to mention it tastes pretty good."

"Would you like some?"

As he said this, he handed the drink in question to Burgess.

Is it just a normal drink?
in the room.

Burgess glanced at the electronic display screen beside him out of the corner of his eye.

He noticed that the beverage pattern on the electronic display screen had disappeared.

In other words.

Although the patterns on the electronic display screen can provide corresponding items after clicking on them, they are obviously disposable.

Once you order, there will be no more.

Just like the glass of water in front of you.
After understanding this, Burgess smiled at the strange silicon-based man in a very friendly manner and took the drink naturally.

Then, he drank all the liquid in the cup in a flash.

"you!!"

Seeing Burgess's move, the strange silicon-based man angrily asked, "Why did you drink it all at once? Couldn't you leave some for me?"

"hey-hey."

Burgess smiled innocently and said, "Anyway, just click on the screen and this room will provide unlimited drinks."

"If you want to drink, just go and order it again."

It is true.

After hearing what Burgess said, the strange silicon-based man didn't say anything more, but just put his head against the electronic display again.

Apparently, this strange silicon-based person's eyesight wasn't very good.

So every time he looked at an electronic display, he would put his head as close as possible.

Perhaps because of this, the strange silicon-based man did not notice the detail that all the items on the display screen were disposable.

"Eh??"

Seeing that the drink icon on the display had disappeared, the strange silicon-based man asked anxiously: "The drink icon is gone?"

"Is everything on this display only given once?"

"I'm sorry," Burgess, who had noticed this detail long ago, said with a simple smile, "I really didn't know that those icons were disposable."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have finished the drink in one breath."

"Forget it, forget it." At this point, no matter how much the strange silicon-based person said, it would be useless.

So he waved his hand and pretended to be magnanimous and said, "The most urgent thing right now is to find a way to leave here first."

"Otherwise, even if we can drink a little more water, we will be trapped here forever and eventually die of hunger and thirst, right?"

indeed.

Burgess knew that the other party was right, so he looked around the room and knocked on the walls and floor from time to time.

When the strange silicon-based people saw this, they couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you doing?"

Burgess replied without turning his head: "Looking for a mechanism or a secret door."

"Ah"

The strange silicon-based man laughed and said, "Don't even think about it. How could the person who locked you up here be so stupid as to leave a secret door for you to escape?"

"If you ask me, instead of looking for a secret door, it would be better to try to reach the ceiling of the room," explained the strange silicon-based man.

"When this room was serving us drinks just now, a gap opened in the ceiling."

"The gap is just big enough for the two of us to crawl in."

“I feel like this is our chance.”

The ceiling?

Burgess subconsciously looked up at the ceiling when he heard this.

After a few seconds, he shook his head.

"No, the ceiling is too high."

"Even if the two of us work together and one of us uses his body as a cushion underneath, the height is still far from enough."

"This..." The strange silicon-based man thought for a moment and said, "How about we wait in this room for a few more days?"

"Maybe tomorrow, new silicon-based people will be sent here."

"When there are more people, everyone can pile up on top of each other and naturally reach the gap in the ceiling."

"This is the only way for now." Having no other choice, Burgess could only nod helplessly after hearing the advice of the strange silicon-based man.

The two sat opposite each other in the room, both silent.

...

that's it.

After a long wait and suffering, the day finally passed with difficulty.

At noon the next day, seeing that no new people were put into the room, the strange silicon-based man said in despair, "It's over, it's over."

"This mysterious person who has imprisoned us is determined to kill us."

"He neither communicated with us nor provided us with any food or water."

"Ugh"

As he spoke, the strange silicon-based man sighed helplessly and said, "Why am I so unlucky!"

In comparison, Burgess seemed much calmer.

He spoke to comfort the other party.

"Don't be impatient, just wait for another day!"

"Maybe tomorrow, everything will take a new turn."

"Alas," the strange silicon-based man sighed again upon hearing this, "At this point, we can only continue to wait."

...

Time goes by every second.

That night.

While the strange silicon-based man was sleeping, Burgess secretly pressed the hammer pattern on the display.

'Rumble'

Accompanied by an inexplicable shaking, a gap appeared on the ceiling of the room.

After a few seconds, an exquisitely shaped metal hammer head fell out from the gap.

Seeing this, Burgess quickly reached out and caught the hammer head.

After doing all this, he did not forget to turn around and look at the strange silicon-based man.

Fortunately, although the noise made by the room shaking was quite loud, the silicon-based man was still in a deep sleep throughout the whole process.

This is an opportunity.
in the room.

Seeing that the other party had let his guard down, Burgess, holding a metal hammer, raised it and struck the other party to death with one blow.

After the death of this silicon-based person.

About half an hour later, a new silicon-based man fell out from the gap in the ceiling of the room.

The moment this new silicon-based man appeared, drinks and silicates sprinkled with metal powder were refreshed on the display screen in the room again.

Good guy.

After seeing this scene, Burgess finally understood everything.

——After all this time, it turns out that the owner of this room just wants them to kill each other!

This room will only provide water and food to the prisoners when new people join.

If you want new people to join, you must kill the old ones first.

So if Burgess wants to live longer, he can only keep killing people and end it all by committing suicide.

but.
Is there really no way to escape from this room?

...

in the room.

Burgess, whose body was covered in blue-gray blood, glanced at the new recruit who was still in a coma.

He tightened the hammer in his hand, gritted his teeth, and did the same thing again, using the hammer to kill the newcomer who had just entered the room.

This happens one after another.

After Burgess had killed more than a dozen people, the corpses of the dead silicon-based people piled together were more than three meters high.

With the help of the mountain of corpses formed by countless silicon-based people, Burgess easily reached the ceiling of the room that he had not been able to reach before.

In this way, relying on his own intelligence, Burgess successfully got into the gap in the ceiling of the room.

The gap is a dark, narrow tube.

He crawled forward along the pipe, and soon arrived at a laboratory with extremely low temperature.

Looking around, there are many unknown life forms in this laboratory with black hair on their heads and brown skin.

Except for these extremely ugly life forms.

Burgess also observed that there were more than a thousand other monitoring devices in the laboratory.

——And the images of these monitoring devices are all monitoring silicon-based people like Burgess who are imprisoned in white rooms.

Obviously.

This is actually a super-large prison built by aliens, specifically for detaining and observing silicon-based people!
As for the aliens' exact purpose in doing this, Burgess has no idea for the time being.

The only thing he could think of now was to escape.

The further away you can escape, the better.

but.
In the laboratory.

Before Burgess could take any action, he felt himself being enveloped by a mysterious force and being slowly lifted into the air by this force.

"how come."

Seeing himself being controlled again and with more than a dozen lives on his hands, Burgess finally escaped from the white room.

At this moment, he was a little emotional and asked, "Who the hell are you? What's your purpose in secretly studying us silicon-based people?"

Because silicon-based people use electrical signals to communicate.

So except Xie Shen and Deng Bin, none of the other staff members at the scene could hear Burgess's voice.

Among the crowd.

Deng Bin showed a smug expression.

He was like a victorious rooster, and spoke happily to Xie Shen who was standing beside him.

“Did you see it?”

"I told you this silicon-based man could escape from the room, but you didn't believe me."

"You lose to me now."

talking.

Deng Bin directly reached out to Xie Shen and asked for it.

"Xie Shen, I'm willing to admit defeat."

"Hurry up and bring me the Classic of Mountains and Seas that Su Xing gave you earlier!"
