The End of the Earth

The route for escorting Xiang Er did not pass through the underground city. After passing through three security gates, they took the elevator to a deeper underground.

Xiang Er could see the interior of the underground city from some windows in the corridor he passed by. An underground floor was expanded on the basis of the original shelter, and the second and third underground floors were completely connected and rebuilt into a large trading market.

Xiang Er was standing on an alloy floor with obvious signs of splicing. It was estimated that the entire Yabang underground city had been specially reinforced to prevent threats from underground.

Xiang Er looked at the sign on the wall. It seemed that he was on the seventh underground floor. In front of him should be a place specially for detaining special groups of people. There were other people being escorted here as well.

"Number 6516, this is your identity.

Hello~ Computer, check containment."

A robot walked in front of Xiang Er. Xiang San had never seen such a thing in his memory. Although there were news reports about the military developing war robots in the old times, they were only hearsay.

The robot is nearly two meters tall, and its entire body is built with a violent aesthetic. Its chest and back are each mounted with a whole piece of armor. The robot's entire face is a display interface, scanning the surroundings like a radar, with red dots flashing on its face.

"Number 6516 has been entered...

Biometric scan…”

Seeing the robots take over, several soldiers left the containment room.

“Facial recognition yielded no results…

Number 6516, please extend your hands and cooperate with the collection of biological samples."

Listening to the robot's electronic synthesized sound, Xiang Er cooperated by stretching out his hands. The robot extended a mechanical finger and touched his two hands respectively. The tingling sensation from his hands indicated that the robot had collected his blood.

Xiang Er's left eye has turned into a black demon eye, ready to destroy the robot with one blow at any time, because he is not sure whether the robot can detect his demon cells.

A strange code began to appear on the robot's facial display, and then a familiar face appeared on the robot's face.

"Hello, Number Two, this is a boot program. After completing the boot instructions, this program will connect to the current terminal and overwrite some of the protocols."

Xiang Er leaned forward and looked at the robot's facial display, saying in disbelief, "Main consciousness? Are you still alive?"

"Please address me by my correct name. This is a guided tour. There aren't many pre-set responses and it may not answer all your questions.

Answer: Not sure. My body is different from that of ordinary humans. It has the life force of the heart of the world, black crystals, ultra-fine nanoparticles, and the core protective layer of the celestial axis.

Killing me is possible, but not easy. Whether I live or die, I'm afraid you'll have to verify it yourself."

Xiang Er pondered for a moment and asked, "In other words, besides death, other factors can also trigger the boot program?"

"Yes, when isolated and losing control of other hosts, or when my brain falls into a deep sleep, or when the Creator's brain is shut down, these situations may trigger the boot program.

The boot program lurks in the background of all the terminals I have taken over. It will only be triggered when I stop being active on these terminal hosts, waiting for special conditions to activate it.

The attachment has been unlocked."

Xiang Er clicked on the attachment displayed on the screen, which contained information about Xiang San's creator brain and some important events after Xiang Er left Xiang San's spiritual world. Unfortunately, the information including the few days before Xiang San's brain collapse had not been updated.

"Is Amman alive or dead? Can you answer?"

"Sorry, not enough information to answer."

"Then I have no problem."

"Number Two, you will gain hidden access to all the terminals I have taken over, but please be aware that for your own safety, please use it with caution.

This permission cannot be overridden, but usage tracking may be queried.

In addition, you only have the right to use it, and the management right requires the Creator program to be re-connected.

Boot process complete, good luck."

The robot returned to its original appearance. Xiang Er was still digesting the information just now. His brain was not as magical as the creator's.

"Number 6516, your biological sample has been collected. Fifth-stage fusionist, you are now officially detained. Please cooperate during this process and refrain from any illogical actions.

Yabang City has the right to eliminate any unstable factors."

"Computer, erase the containment information regarding number 6516 and continue to delete the surveillance logs regarding me."

The robot looked at Xiang Er and paused for three seconds.

"Command confirmed, executing."

"Take me to where the target is being held. The rest of the procedures will proceed as usual."

The robot took Xiang Er to the detention room inside, a room that held more than a dozen people, some of whom were fusionists.

These people were not very polite to Xiang Er, the newcomer, and Xiang Er was the same. When he used the demon state, a melee began.

Almost all the people imprisoned in this place are warmongers. Even though Xiang Er's demon form is quite intimidating, he cannot completely intimidate these people.

After a melee

"Boy, you're awesome."

The bruised and battered fusionist spoke incoherently, and from the tone of his voice it seemed that the person lying there was not him but Xiang Er.

"Save your breath, or I'll kill you if you do it again."

"Uh…"

More than a dozen people were stunned and didn't rush forward.

The fusionist who spoke the harshest and had good strength just now should be the leader of this group.

"Kid, how come you're so strong that you're here? How come you're at the fifth stage? Aren't you comfortable in Sky City? You come to this damn place and are treated like trash."

Xiang Er sat cross-legged and looked at this person. Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack in the ocean of information on the computer, it would be better to ask these people what he wanted from their mouths.

"It seems you know a lot. Tell me what's going on in the Sky City?"

"You don't even know about the Sky City? Haven't you heard the saying, 'There was heaven in the old days, there is the Sky City after the catastrophe, there are Sky Cities all over the world, the last refuge for mankind.'

I heard that the Sky City has unlimited power and powerful air defense capabilities, and there is an endless supply of clean food and water. I also heard from people who have seen it that the Sky City has been continuously expanding since it officially floated in the air..."

Xiang Er listened with great interest. This guy had great eloquence and his vivid description sounded like he was telling a story.

"Next, let's talk about this ground gathering area. Actually, there's not much to say. Not only are the conditions not as good as those in the dungeon, but living in the ground gathering area is like being on a chopping board. Monsters from any world can come and take a nibble at you. Even if the monsters don't eat you, their own kind won't let you go.

In the dungeon, there is the earth as a cover, but the surface is never safe, and large gathering areas are no exception.

So I'd rather be detained in the underground city than go to the gathering area on the surface and wait for death."

After he finished speaking, there was applause from the people around him.

"It seems you know a lot."

"That's right, you are stronger than me, but I know more than you.

What's your name? Would you mind being friends?

"Xiang Er. What about you?"

"Cruandel, are you Chinese? It's a very unique name."

Kelu frowned, feeling that the name sounded familiar.

The younger brother beside him poked him and whispered something in his ear, and Kru suddenly realized.

"Xiang Er? Why does your name sound so similar to...that person's?"

"Xiang San, right? I admire him very much, isn't that okay?"

Everyone exclaimed

"I didn't expect that people still remember Commander Xiang these days."

Kru's younger brothers showed adoring expressions.

"You guys don't want to say you admire Xiang San too, do you?"

"Of course! Also, it's too rude to address him like that. You should address him as Commander Xiang, and he will definitely show up again."

As they were talking, several people's stomachs began to growl, and the serious atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Damn computer, eat twice a day, computer! Eat it for me!"

"Damn machine! Do you hear me? I'm starving to death!"

Two meals a day, Xiang Er felt it was inhumane. The appetite of the fusion people was bigger than that of ordinary people. No wonder these people were so weak when he beat them just now.

"It seems the dungeon isn't that great, is it, Mr. Crewe?"

Kru, with a bruised face and nose, waved his hands. He was also very hungry.

"Don't mock me, boy. You will feel this hunger in a few days."

Xiang Er coughed twice and asked temptingly, "Do you want to eat meat?"

Ok?

When everyone heard the word "eating meat", their brain nerves seemed to receive hidden instructions, causing them to involuntarily stare at the new prisoner in front of them.

Xiang Er raised his hands and clapped twice, then said, "Computer, send twenty servings of animal barbecue here, preferably with some jam and some wine."

Crazy? Paranoid?

Xiang Er's words were a bit abrupt. Although they sounded fantastic, these people were secretly looking forward to it, because the words of such a powerful person were naturally credible.

And a few seconds later, their guess was confirmed. A rectangular gap opened in the metal wall of the cell where they were imprisoned, and a box containing things popped out.

A virtual human face mask was projected into the void. It was the image designed by the computer of Yabang Dungeon for itself.

"Supplies allocated by the asylum management have been delivered to holding cell 62."

“Management supplies?

Boy, how did you do that?

"You two, get out of here! The boss hasn't eaten yet, so why would it be your turn?"

Kru kicked away the two younger brothers who couldn't control themselves and wanted to see whether the meat was real or fake.

"Eat first, and then follow my instructions. I'll make sure you have good food and drink in the future."

After saying that, the group of people couldn't contain themselves any longer and started to enjoy the food.

They were quite well-behaved and didn't rush to loot. Kru called on two of his confidants to distribute the supplies. Xiang Er didn't want to train a group of people from scratch. The quality of these people was not very good, but they could be used.

B7 Shelter Control Room

"The treatment in this damn place is getting worse and worse. Before, they were deducting money every two weeks, and now just a few days ago they're eating this synthetic porridge again."

Management complained.

"Say less, you're fishing in troubled waters every day and still complaining so much.

How many people want to come into this place? What else can they expect without having to risk their lives?

But it's true, I don't know what's wrong with this computer. The data has been so dense these past two days that I have to be a little lazy.

Look, more than a hundred people came in.

They all eat with their mouths open.”

As they were talking, the shelter took in another group of people.

How could they know that it was the computer that was playing tricks? It's just that this behind-the-scenes operation is reasonable. Even if it is unreasonable, there is no need for the computer to make adjustments. These people will use their imagination to make it reasonable.

What they don't know is that these prisoners are not just being fed and housed here for free...

The activities behind the Yabang underground city are hidden quite deeply. Behind it is a huge organization that has disappeared for many years, even though it is rumored that it has split.
