Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 65 White Mist and Statue

Chapter 65 White Mist and Statue (4000 words)
Xie Shen was talking to Li Xiu.

But in another metal cage, another electronic synthesized sound was heard.

[The resurrected person, name: Zhang Moxuan, born on June 2050, 6. ]

The person who was resurrected this time was a woman.

Same as the previous Shangying.

Not long after being resurrected, she threw herself on a glass pipe beside her without hesitation.

Soon, a large amount of black mist began to flow into her body through the glass tube.

In just a short while, the woman also turned into a huge tumor.
After turning into a tumor, humans can continuously obtain tremendous pleasure from it.

This behavior is highly addictive.

Once you are infected, you can never get rid of it.

This man and woman are completely useless.

But it’s not over yet.

In the metal cage, the man and woman who had turned into tumors were still absorbing the black mist in the glass pipe.

As the black mist continued to flow into the body, the size of the two tumors began to gradually grow larger.

In the end, their bodies could no longer hold on and exploded.

'boom'!
At the moment the tumor exploded, a large amount of white mist could be seen overflowing from it.

"This..." Xie Shen was surprised when he saw it, "Can the tumor formed by human mutation actually transform black fog into white fog?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Li Xiu and asked, "Didn't you notice it before?"

“Not really.”

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "I developed the zirconium metal glasses about half a year ago, which was the third year of your retreat."

"After I got the glasses, I started studying the black fog."

"All in all, it's only been about 4-5 months."

"Because the time was too short, I still haven't discovered many secrets about the black mist."

Li Xiu has a strong desire to learn about unknown things.

Sometimes, this thirst for knowledge can even make him disregard his own life.

On a metal platform.

Seeing the white mist spreading all around, a flash of fanaticism suddenly appeared in Li Xiu's eyes.

He said, "Xie Shen, can you help me?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Shen looked towards Li Xiu.

The latter continued: "Use magic to guide the white mist and get a small part of it into my body."

This madman.
However, Xie Shen felt that Li Xiu's proposal was a little bit reckless.

But out of curiosity, he finally followed Li Xiu's instructions and introduced a small amount of white mist into his body.

"Wow"

The moment the white mist entered his body, Li Xiu couldn't help but let out a groan.

He breathed rapidly, and showed a very rare look of shock. "There are no side effects! Compared with the black mist, I didn't feel any discomfort after absorbing the white mist. I even felt that my physical strength was replenished and my spirit was more energetic!"

Will there be any side effects if I absorb the white mist?

Li Xiu's words made Xie Shen also freeze in place.

With a hint of caution, he carefully absorbed a wisp of white mist into his body.

next second.

Xie Shen also showed a shocked expression.

Compared to Li Xiu, he was even more shocked.

“This white mist,” Xie Shen said in a trembling voice, “is not any different from spiritual power at all.”

"This white mist can completely replace spiritual power and then be absorbed by the monks!"

"This discovery is so important," Xie Shen emphasized, "If I can mass-produce this white mist, I can even set up a sect in the space station!"

"That's not all." Li Xiu added, "I just absorbed this white mist, so I can roughly guess some of its properties: If nothing unexpected happens, this white mist can be used as a clean energy source and converted into heat or electricity - not only can it be absorbed by you monks, but it can also be used as energy to develop technology!"

As he spoke, Li Xiu suddenly placed his hand on his zirconium metal glasses and said in a deep voice, "Brain, are you there?"

"Got it! Got it!" the brain responded positively.

Li Xiu continued, "Help me modify the system files."

"Unknown energy source No. 002, scientific name 'white mist'."

"How to obtain: Inject a large amount of black mist into a living person. After purification, you can obtain 'white mist'."

“Then add notes.”

“Function 1: Can be used as clean energy.”

"Function 2: Can be absorbed by the monks instead of spiritual energy."

"Okay, done." Li Xiu had just finished speaking when his brain responded, "Anything else you want to add?"

"Gone." Li Xiu disconnected from the brain.

At the same time.

Zhuge Fu suddenly spoke up: "I suddenly thought of a question."

"Those white mists are certainly useful."

"But the prerequisite for getting white fog is that we first have to have a lot of black fog."

"Black fog is not easy to deal with."

"This gas is only produced when a person is tortured."

Zhuge Fu spread his hands and said, "We can't imprison a group of people like the Tower Prison and torture them endlessly, right?"

"After all, everyone is mortal."

"What if after you die, you are the next person to be imprisoned and tortured?"

“So this head must not be opened.”

"Let's talk about the white mist."

Zhuge Fu continued: "If you want to obtain white mist, you need a tumor that is specifically responsible for purification."

"And sarcomas are all caused by human mutations."

"And if I remember correctly, after a person mutates into a sarcoma, he or she will become addicted."

“And the more mutations there are, the harder it is to quit.”

"So, turning a person into a tumor is tantamount to pushing him into an abyss of no return."

"So."

Zhuge Fu looked at Li Xiu and Xie Shen.

Like a judge, he questioned the two, "Have you decided who you want to push into the abyss?"

The moral bottom line is indeed an issue that human society will always be unable to avoid.

People are selfish.

Therefore, every human being wants to trample on the moral bottom line.

But as human beings, we can't do that.

Because this will lead to the collapse of the entire human civilization. Once humans are separated from society, it will be difficult for them to survive alone.

So humans need a moral bottom line.

In view of this, Li Xiu thought for a long time and then said: "As for the black mist, it is not completely impossible to collect it."

"After all, as long as people are alive, they will suffer."

"Birth, aging, sickness and death, separation from loved ones, and unrequited love."

"So even if we do nothing, we can still collect a certain amount of black mist from the space station."

"Although in terms of numbers, it's definitely not as many as in Tower Prison."

"But just training some monks like Xie Shen to serve as high-level combat forces for the space station should be enough."

"Well, the problem of the black mist has been solved." Zhuge Fu immediately asked, "What about the tumor?"

"This is also easy to solve." Li Xiu said: "Among us humans, there are many drug addicts." "Although resurrection can refresh the state of these addicts and allow them to get rid of drug dependence physically."

"But the addiction is something that I can't get rid of no matter how many times I'm resurrected."

“Especially the severely addicted ones.”

"So according to regulations, our space station will not actively revive any drug addict."

"They can only suffer in the Tower Prison forever."

"I understand what you mean." Zhuge Fu said thoughtfully, "Are you planning to make this special group of people mutate into sarcomas?"

"Yes." Li Xiu nodded and replied: "And I won't force them."

"Is it to be tortured by addiction all the time, or is it to become a tumor?"

“The choice is entirely theirs.”

"This is not a choice at all." Zhuge Fu frowned and said, "I don't believe you can't guess: for drug addicts, they will 100% choose to become a tumor and then enjoy the endless pleasure."

“Without human intervention, they will never be able to return to being ordinary people.”

"You are sacrificing them on your own initiative."

"Indeed, this is a sacrifice," Li Xiumo said, "but human development always requires sacrifice."

"These."

"It's just a necessary sacrifice."

Ugh.
Zhuge Fu sighed softly and stood there in silence.

On a metal platform.

As everyone was silent, they suddenly felt a suction force coming from the glass pipes around them.

Under the influence of suction, a large amount of white mist began to flow into the glass pipe and continued to flow to the bottom of the tower along the glass pipe.

Xie Shen saw it and guessed, "I guess there is probably some kind of generator-like device at the bottom of the tower. That device can convert the white mist into electrical energy, and then supply power to the entire tower prison."

"Well, it is very likely."

Zhuge Fu nodded in agreement.

He turned to Li Xiu and asked, "Should we continue to explore the bottom of the tower?"

"Let's go deeper!" Li Xiu looked up at the sky and added, "However, before we go any further, we'd better wait for Mag and the others."

The climbing ability of the cyborg is really lacking.

Xie Shen and the other two waited on the metal platform for a long time before Mag and the other three modified humans finally arrived.

after that.

The six of them repeated their old tricks:

Xie Shen led Zhuge Fu and Li Xiu to the bottom of the tower by jumping and climbing.

Mag and the other three modified humans relied on their own strength, using their hands and feet to move downwards little by little.

...

The underground part of the tower prison seemed to have no end.

Xie Shen, Li Xiu and Zhuge Fu jumped on the glass tube for a full half hour, but still could not see the bottom of the tower.

Don’t talk about Xie Shen.

At this moment, even Zhuge Fu, who had not contributed any effort throughout the whole process, seemed a little impatient.

Impatience is a conceptual feeling.

It is not affected by the Underground Curse.

Therefore, Zhuge Fu, who is an underground person, will also feel the emotion of "impatience".

"Ouch, I can't do it anymore."

air.

Zhuge Fu couldn't help but complain, "I've been carried and jumped for so long, I feel like I'm going to faint."

"How deep is this tower prison?"

"How long will it take us to reach the bottom of the tower?"

"Don't scream." Xie Shen said dissatisfiedly: "If you really can't stand it anymore, I can just let go and throw you down."

"This way, you can be resurrected directly to the space station."

"That's not necessary." Zhuge Fu smiled and said, "I just called you a few words casually, there's no other meaning."

"I still want to see what the bottom of the tower looks like."

After this episode, everyone continued to move downwards.

Nearly half an hour passed like this.

Xie Shen discovered:

When reaching this depth, numerous strange statues with exactly the same shape began to appear inexplicably on the surrounding walls.

These weird statues are ugly.

Just one glance and Xie Shen couldn't help but think of the shape of the Tower Prison - a shape that was completely contrary to human aesthetics.

In addition, you can see:

At the very center of each statue, there is a glass pipe connected to it. The glass tube is transporting a large amount of white mist into the body of the statue.

Xie Shen found a place to stay and put Li Xiu and Zhuge Fu down.

The three began to study the strange statues around them.

"What are these statues?" Zhuge Fu saw them and couldn't help but complain: "Really, I have never seen such ugly statues in my life."

"It feels like being surrounded by countless Cthulhus while surfing on the sea."

"Everywhere you look you see these hideously ugly statues."

"Then your sanity will start to drop."

"This..." Xie Shenshen agreed: "Don't mention it, your metaphor is quite vivid."

The two were talking.

Zhuge Fu suddenly discovered that Li Zheng next to him was like a madman, staring at the nearest statue intently.

"Hey!" Zhuge Fu was anxious: "Li Xiu, are you okay? Wake up!"

"Don't be so nervous, okay?"

Li Xiu was speechless and said, "I was neither controlled nor brainwashed. I was just trying to remember the shape of the statue, so that when I return to the laboratory, I can use the same material to re-carve the statue."

"Replica?" Zhuge Fu glanced at the statues around him and said helplessly, "This is really the only way to do it."

"Not to mention that these statues are made of alloy and cannot be taken down at all."

"Even if we can take them down, it would be difficult for the three of us to carry these statues, which are more than one meter tall, all the way from the bottom of the tower back to the space station."

"So that's what I said." Li Xiu took over the conversation and said, "If you want to study these statues, you can only force yourself to remember their shapes."

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Zhuge Fu, but continued to observe the statue intently.

Li Xiu does not have the trait of "emotion".

So even if you keep staring at the statue, you won't feel disgusted.

But Zhuge Fu and Xie Shen couldn't do that. They couldn't stare at the statue for too long, so they just stood quietly beside Li Xiu.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"puff!"

suddenly.

Without any warning, a large pool of blood spurted out of Li Xiu's mouth, and he fell down with his head tilted back.

It was about to fall to the bottom of the tower.
Fortunately, Xie Shen reacted quickly enough.

The moment Li Xiu fell, he quickly reached out and grabbed Li Xiu's arm.

With just a little effort, he easily pulled it back.

Lean less.
