Chapter 310 Energy Is Everything!

Su Qi was not surprised that the old man knew about the extremely evil place and the future generations. After all, this place had been there for at least half a year.

Almost 80% of the living beings who entered the dark zone in large numbers never returned. They may have died in it, or they may have been imprisoned here to work illegally, just like now.

"So, boy, let's dig first. You newcomers must dig at least five energy stones. According to your speed, each one will take at least four hours." The old man said calmly: "And the environment here is It’s not suitable to stay for too long, problems may arise.”

He looked at the terrifying electromagnetic storm in the sky, and there were also fine and floating black particles in the air.

"Okay, it's just an energy stone."

Su Qi took out a sparkling blue crystal in his hand and said with interest:

"Is it this one?"

The old man nodded: "Yes."

"Wait, that's not right!"

The old man suddenly stared at the energy stone with wide eyes. After confirming that he had seen it correctly: "How could you have it!!!"

Suki paused: "Of course I picked it up from here."

The old man's eyes widened: "How could such a good thing happen? And even if I picked it up, I've been here for a long time, why didn't I pick it up!"

Su Qi: "You are old and it is normal for you to have dazzling eyes."

but.

He paused slightly, and it turned out that this thing was the energy stone.

I only know it now.

Because this piece was naturally not picked up here. It was the product of the [Heart of Divine Machine] when Xiao Meng used its energy.

Just like when you burn coal, there are always cinders left behind.

"I always thought it came from scraps. Not to mention the warehouse full of starships, there is also the risk of explosion. I didn't expect it to be an important energy stone needed for mechanical life in this world."

after all.

That [Mechanical Core] is equivalent to unlimited energy, so Su Qi doesn't think much of these 'cinders'.

"Anyway, let's complete the task of one piece first." Su Qi was about to throw it directly into the energy storage box with his own code written on it. This thing is also a transportation tool and can protect the energy stone.

But at this time, the old man suddenly looked a little dazed, staring at the energy stone in Su Qi's hand.

"etc!"

He suddenly couldn't help but opened his eyes wide and spoke.

Su Qi paused: "The eyes are as big as copper bells?"

The old man took a deep breath and said, "Let me take a closer look."

Su Qi's brows raised slightly, and he spread his hands, letting the blue energy stone be in his palms.

The old man murmured: "This purity, this magnitude of energy, is completely rare among many energy stones. I have never seen a few even in this mine."

"is that so?"

Su Qi: "Then I'm really lucky."

The old man suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Qi's arm: "Boy, do me a favor!"

"Don't hand over this energy stone."

Su Qi paused, his eyes showing a bit of interest: "Why?"

"Because someone needs it."

The old man pursed his lips and said solemnly: "I will give you all the energy stones I dug, so that you can complete higher targets and get more preferential treatment."

Su Qi looked at the old man's solemn look, but was not in a hurry:

"I remember that among the rules announced by the mechanical life, there is the harshest punishment for those who secretly hide energy stones."

"And there's surveillance everywhere."

The old man shook his head and said: "Don't worry, this is a magnetic storm area, all machinery will malfunction, and surveillance is very weak."

"in addition."

He looked at the entire mine with a solemn voice and said:

"I will not let your risk go in vain, I will provide you with shelter and resources, and more"

The old man whispered:

"The only chance to escape from here!"

It seems that this sentence is a bit shocking or extremely taboo. He is not at all like the old mining man just now, but a warrior.

Su Qi's eyes paused: "Escape?"

The old man said solemnly: "This is a huge cage, and it is completely controlled by those mechanical beings."

"Everyone who enters this place will be enslaved forever and ever, unable to get out."

indeed.

Not only are there a large number of creatures from ancient times, but there are also many real-life adventurers who have entered this place after recovery. Some have been here for more than half a year, and their expressions are only numbness and despair.

Su Qi looked slightly smiling: "Have you reached this point?"

"Then old gentleman, let me go with you."

The working time lasted for a total of fourteen hours, and it was time for everyone to hand over the energy stones. The time was fixed. Those who did not reach the amount of energy stones would face level three punishment.

after all.

This world is not afraid of death, because of the heat of the extremely evil world, groups of illegal workers are coming.

"drop--"

Su Qi handed over the five energy stones he dug.

This is the energy stone that I actually dug. After all, even if the [Heart of Divine Machinery] produces just unwanted 'cinders' and 'waste', they are extremely precious and rare here.

And at the same time.

Su Qi also had a deeper chat with the old man and deepened his understanding.

This prison is very large. After all, there are hundreds of energy mining areas to be mined. The number of people in each mining area is not equal, but they are all more than a hundred people. At least 100,000 people are imprisoned here.

Bai Yilin, Jiang Zhi, and Long Xun must be among them, but we don't know where they are specifically.

but.

Su Qi was not in a hurry to find them. The three of them were all outstanding in strength and ability, so there was naturally not much danger in this mining area.

"Boy Su."

"Come on, you can move around freely now."

At this moment.

They returned to the prison from the mining area through the transport elevator, but it was not the corridor that led directly to their room, but instead they arrived at a huge city built with white machines.

It's just that the sky above the city is full of holographically generated weather.

Su Qi glanced over and saw an endless stream of people walking tiredly towards the streets.

"It's actually a specially built city prison, and it also allows free movement and various shops."

Su Qi saw commercial streets for eating, resting, entertainment, leisure and so on.

"I thought that according to the understanding of mechanical life, everyone would be put into cells directly, provided with food to sustain life functions and a minimum rest period, and then continue mining without stopping, and the cycle would repeat."

elder:"."

"You are much more vicious than mechanical life."

He shook his head and said: "After all, the mechanical beings know that we are all living beings of flesh and blood. If we have a mental breakdown, it will cause fierce resistance."

"Of course, they are not afraid of resistance. There are many people who are afraid of death, so there is no one to mine for them."

Su Qi was noncommittal.

He kept walking with the old man.

Su Qi has also been observing the surroundings.

to be honest.

There were indeed many people in ancient times, but there were obviously more adventurers in the current world. After finishing their voluntary labor, they cursed, complained, and powerlessly hated the world, but it was of no use.

"I've been here for a week, either mining or mining. Do we have a chance to escape?"

"Don't think about it, you can't escape from here."

There is no shortage of people with Sequence Seven, but their expressions are heavy: "Countless people have tried, but without exception they all died."

"to be honest."

Some people also accepted their fate: "Instead of thinking about escaping from here, if you work hard to mine, you can live more comfortably, get higher treatment, and even be promoted to the prison's management."

They said all this tiredly and numbly. Their voices were obviously not quiet, but they were like a pool of stagnant water.

"Boy Su, stop looking. Remember to follow me closely, avoid their sight, be natural, and don't attract the attention of the people around you."

"Do you even have to protect your own people?"

The old man took in this scene and sighed:

"They are a group of people who have lost their fighting spirit and are mentally dead. Some of them have become vicious dogs of mechanical life in order to obtain better rights and interests. They are useless."

Under absolutely powerful power and rule, many people will naturally rebel. This is the selfishness and differentiation that human nature should have.

"Let's go, avoid the crowd and enter the alley"

The old man whispered.

Su Qi followed the old man. Not to mention this city prison, the degree of freedom is still very high. After all, it is too huge. It has the feeling of a normal world. People can eat, drink, sleep, and have entertainment.

There are also nameplates to restrict everyone, and there are still many surveillance devices on the streets and buildings, so everyone can move freely.

There were fewer and fewer people around, and the path began to shift toward the gutter corner.

Su Qi: "By the way, aren't you worried about being tracked by the nameplate?"

"do not be afraid."

The old man shook his head and stretched out his hand to press his ears, but extremely precise mechanical chips were revealed on his ears: "I have blocked them."

Su Qi raised his eyebrows:

"Prosthetic body??"

"No, it's a higher level than that. It's life technology that you can't imagine." The old man said softly.

but.

Su Qi had already seen through it.

This is an ordinary product of the kingdom of divine weapons.

After all, the most important [Heart of Divine Weapon] in the entire Divine Weapon Kingdom is still used as energy source in his own starship.

in addition.

Now that the Kingdom of Divine Weapons has been destroyed, it seems that the existence of this world is unknown, and this place is probably the only fragment of the world that still exists in the Kingdom of Divine Weapons.

"Help me." The old man walked to the extremely dilapidated cement space and walked to a sewer.

"What, you want to steal the manhole cover?"

"." The old man's veins popped out: "Help me move the manhole cover away!"

This kid is completely different from other people who will come after him!

Not only does he have no sense of urgency, he is curious about everything, and he also has a mind for joking!

Su Qi: "Okay."

He moved the manhole cover away.

Then the old man stood next to him, stretched out his left hand, and his fingers were changing. A large number of precision active high-tech molecules gathered in them, and when pressed on the ground, high-frequency signal waves were emitted.

Suki looked at this scene. He could only say that he had seen the body of the former captain of the starship transformed into a machine.

And the next moment.

At the exit of the sewer, a somewhat shabby blue and white mechanical dog slowly emerged.

"Don't panic, it's one of our own." The old man reminded Su Qi, worried that the boy would be frightened when he saw the mechanical life form.

"I'm not panicking."

elder:"."

He watched in silence as Su Qi reached out and touched the head of the mechanical dog: "Not bad, I want to get one."

The mechanical dog moved its eyes and stared at the old man. A mechanical voice came out: "Old Wang, is this the newcomer you brought this time?"

The old man held his forehead: "Yes."

Su Qi lifted it up and swayed it, and said calmly: "It seems like a guy with no sense of boundaries."

Su Qi said with great interest: "I can't help it. This is my first time coming into contact with mechanical life forms, and I am very interested."

indeed.

This is a brand new sequence performance. Although the energy and spiritual energy in the body are similar, they are essentially different.

Life is another form.

If it is a mechanical life, it seems that it can solve the problem of little Al-ling's life collapse. After all, the life of little Al-ling, the daughter of the tentacle man, will disappear like quicksand due to being caught in a curse.

"Let's go, new guy."

It directly changed its body, became another form, and left Suki's hands.

"There are surveillance machines cruising nearby, so we can't stay here any longer."

Say it.

A rusty pipe appeared in the dark hole of the sewer, and it jumped down first.

The old man also nodded towards Su Qi: "Come on, boy, you will understand when you get down there."

He followed suit.

"OK."

Su Qi also followed. There was a change in gravity inside, and the whole person seemed to be traveling at some kind of extreme speed, moving rapidly.

The further you go down, the more you can see the structure below. It is a complex structure that is precision-built but broken.

"It's obviously a prison, but it's like a normal city, and there's actually such a huge space underneath." Su Qi said to himself.

But the mechanical dog said calmly:

"Because, this is what we built for the hired humans."

"only."

The mechanical dog looked up, his tone unchanged, but his mood became a little heavy: "The rebel forces are crazy and unscrupulous, and now this place has become a prison for their [Black Fire] slavery."

Su Qi pondered: "In other words, you are the original leaders of this world, and you are very friendly with living creatures, but you were defeated by this [Black Fire] mechanical army."

"Now, let's hide down here and survive with some of the humans, right?"

Old man: "Boy, what you said is a bit hurtful."

"But it seems that's what it is, and it's even more brutal."

Su Qi touched his chin and analyzed: "Because from now on, the most important thing for mechanical life forms is energy, and they now control almost all energy mining areas."

"From what I can see now, it seems to be a crushing level for you."

Instead, the mechanical dog turned its head and seemed to have some emotion: "Human, you can't judge our strength."

"Yeah?"

Suki smiled.

When the mechanical dog was just lifted up, a lot of information had been captured. It had high strength, but some parts were worn out, and it was still in super power-saving mode.

They are probably already in a situation of extreme energy shortage.

In this place where energy is everything, it is already in a state of being completely crushed.

No wonder the old man was extremely excited when he saw that he had taken out the extremely pure energy stone, and brought him over without stopping.
