A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

If he really wanted to die, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to have his death sentence commuted to exile.

“Okay,” Zhou An said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ju Jia was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he won't die for now.

Seeing this, Shenna quickly said, "Mr. Jiang, although I don't have a clan, can I still command those slugs?"

"Farm 110 also has millions of slug monsters, all of which will obey your commands."

"As for killing clones, the slugs won't; they have a symbiotic relationship with clones."

"Moreover, I possess the most powerful brain and can conduct research for you. You will definitely need my brain."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An nodded slightly: "You are indeed a talented person, you can stay."

Zhou An went to the window, and the chaotic crowd below shouted, "Everyone, quiet!"

Upon hearing this, the chaotic crowd immediately quieted down.

Upon seeing that it was Zhou An, they became even more well-behaved.

“You don’t need to worry about these people being unconscious. They just need to awaken their abilities and become the chosen ones.”

"The chosen ones who were still standing led the men to carry the unconscious people into the empty rooms on either side."

"Leave a few people to keep watch, and the rest of you, organize yourselves into teams and start patrolling," Zhou An said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Chief!" the crowd shouted in unison.

"The leader?" Zhou An was somewhat surprised.

When did he become the leader?

However, he was too lazy to investigate. They called him leader, so he would be the leader.

Soon, several chosen ones led these clones to get to work.

"Let's go, take me to see the meteorite."

"Give the order as well," Zhou An said.

While speaking, Zhou An also helped them fully recover from their injuries.

After Ju Jia and Shen Na recovered, they looked at Zhou An with disbelief on their faces.

They were well aware of the extent of their injuries.

Even with the best recovery medicine, it will take at least several days to recover.

And now, he's healed instantly?

"Thank you, Master!" The two quickly bowed respectfully.

"Let's go," Zhou An said calmly.

Immediately, Shenna and the other person took Zhou An to the core base of Hive City.

The core base is located 500 meters underground in Hive City.

They arrived by elevator.

After stepping out of the elevator, you'll find yourself in a huge, round metal sphere.

The metal sphere is hundreds of meters tall and ten kilometers in diameter.

This place can be considered a forbidden area of ​​Hive City; apart from the three royal monster clans, no one is allowed to enter.

And today, Zhou An has arrived.

As the metal door slowly opened, a soft light emanated from within.

Once inside, Zhou An saw the enormous meteorite.

The meteorite was about nine kilometers in diameter and only a few tens of meters high.

Most of them are probably buried underground.

The moment Zhou An entered, he felt a strange power automatically being drawn into his body.

His mental strength was slowly increasing at that moment.

"This is truly a miraculous meteorite; it can even enhance my mental strength." Zhou An stared at the blue-glowing meteorite with amazement.

The meteorite's surface was extremely smooth, without any pits or bumps, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary object.

“Master, three houses have been built on the side; these were our previous residences.”

“I’ll give the orders to Shenna first,” Juga said.

"Mm." Zhou An nodded.

Juga and Shenna immediately released their mental energy and then issued commands through some kind of device.

A moment later, the two spoke again: "The order has been issued, and there will be no more human deaths within three days."

"Hmm, Shenna, is that your laboratory?" Zhou An's gaze fell on a house in the distance.

“My laboratory is not here, but on the floor above,” Shenna said.

If his lab were located near the meteorite, it would be too inconvenient for him to work on materials or anything else.

"Let's go, let's take a look at your lab," Zhou An said casually.

“Yes, Master.” Shenna responded and led them to the upper-level laboratory.

The laboratory was very large, filled with a dazzling array of instruments and equipment.

There is also a large warehouse containing various rare experimental materials.

There are also many cages, which hold various monsters and even humans.

Zhou An frowned when his gaze fell on the few humans.

Upon seeing this, Shenna quickly said, "Master, these three humans are all clones. They have become the Chosen Ones, so we want to study them."

"I'll release them right away."

As soon as Shenna finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Immediately, the cage holding the three humans was opened.

The three are currently unconscious, which means they have likely been drugged.

"Shinna, do you have any way to let me control the two of you?"

"As you probably know, I don't trust you."

“If not, then I’ll send you on your way,” Zhou An said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Ju Jia trembled: "Shennah, quick, I remember you were researching some kind of neural control chip, which is even more advanced than nanochips."

Shenna immediately said, "Master, I have developed a new neural control chip, which is an upgraded version based on nanochips."

"Even the sixth-order ones can be controlled. The only drawback is that mass production is not yet possible. It took me a year to produce ten of them."

"Ten? That's enough. Take them out," Zhou An said calmly.

"Yes, yes, Master." Shenna didn't care about control anymore, just to save her life.

The surgery was completed in about half an hour.

They had neural control chips implanted in their bodies.

This chip covers the entire body, and once implanted, it is almost impossible to remove.

The control terminal, however, was in Zhou An's hands.

Zhou An could take their lives at any time if he wanted to.

Zhou An tried to control them, and saw the two of them immediately kneel down in pain.

"Master, spare me!"

Unable to bear it any longer, the two immediately begged for mercy.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An turned it off.

"Very good, Shenna, compile all the information on the technology of Hive City, the power structure of the Forsaken Land, and the Earth Continent, and hand it over to me tomorrow," Zhou An instructed.

"Yes, Master," Shenna replied respectfully.

“Juga, you should stay in Hive City and manage your tribes,” Zhou An added.

“Yes, Master,” Ju Jia replied immediately.

The next day, Shenna presented all the information to Zhou An.

After Zhou An dismissed Shen Na, he began to examine the information.

Zhou An had already learned about the Ghost Forest and the Forsaken Land from them, so he stopped looking into it.

He mainly checked the technology possessed by Hive City, as well as the affairs of the Earth Continent.

In terms of technology, it must be said that Shenna is indeed quite something.

Holographic projection technology, hibernation pods, laser cannons, neural sensing technology, cloning technology, gene editing technology, brain-computer interface technology, sensory simulation, artificial sun, energy shield technology, environmental simulation technology...

There are many, many technologies.

Most of these are technologies that can be used in sunny cities.

Suddenly, Zhou An had an idea, and his gaze settled on several technologies.

Hibernation chamber technology, neural sensing technology, brain-computer interface technology, sensory simulation technology, environmental simulation technology, and holographic projection technology.

If we combine these technologies and add some other things, wouldn't we be able to achieve virtual reality technology?

That's something out of a novel, where you can use your own consciousness to enter a world that's both false and real.

If it were possible, we could take it to the main world and create a virtual reality game version of this eerie world.

They will use existing dungeon guides to create those bizarre dungeons for the public to experience.

With experience, casualties can be reduced when entering the bizarre world within the instance.

Thinking of this, Zhou An immediately summoned Shen Na.
