Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

The person inside the machine was naked, with no hair, and even no eyebrows and eyelashes.

Judging from his physical features, he should be a man.

He closed his eyes, not because of the explosion just now, but because his eyelids were sewn up.

Not only his eyes, but also his mouth and ears were all sewn up, leaving only his nose for breathing.

There was more than that that made Lin Yi and others feel cold on their backs. This man had no hands or feet, and even no lower body.

The densely packed wires inside the machine were connected to the man's body, and the thickest one was connected to the spine from the back of the man's neck.

"Why is there another person in here?" Zhang Cheng looked back at Lin Yi and Zhou Kai.

"Didn't you hear his heartbeat just now?"

Lin Yi shook his head. Until now, because the parts inside the machine were no longer working due to the explosion, and there were no "clicking" sounds, Lin Yi heard the extremely weak heartbeat of this man.

"I heard a different sound in the sound inside the machine." Zhou Kai said truthfully.

"However, the sound was very small. I thought it was the sound of parts running, so I didn't pay attention to it."

"Is this person captured by this machine?" Zhou Yun asked in a low voice.

She remembered Zhang Cheng said that this machine was specially used for capture.

Zhang Cheng shook his head: "It shouldn't be."

"Then he must be the one who controls this machine." Lu Linhai said angrily.

"No." Zhang Cheng shook his head.

"All the lines in the machine are connected to this person, and he is so weak. Perhaps, the reason why he is inside this machine is because he is the machine..."

"Battery?" Lin Yi frowned, and an extremely cruel guess came to his mind.

"Battery?!" Lu Linhai was shocked, "Isn't this a person? How can it be a battery?"

"I have the same idea as Lin Yi." Zhang Cheng nodded.

"No way, why would you use a person as a battery?" Lu Linhai was confused. He really didn't understand how a living person could become a battery.

Moreover, this practice is extremely cruel.

The people in the machine will not die immediately, but will be gradually drained with the operation of the machine, accompanied by continuous pain.

"I have thought about this kind of thing." Zhang Cheng sighed, "but I am still shocked to see it with my own eyes."

"What do you think about all day?" Lu Linhai said.

"It's not a female gorilla anyway."

"......" Lu Linhai glared at Zhang Cheng.

"Since humans can raise aliens in the city, it means that there has been a war between humans and aliens." Zhang Cheng said quickly.

"Do you know what is the most scarce thing after the war?"

"Supplies." Lu Linhai replied.

"What supplies?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Food?" Lu Linhai thought about it.

"You only know how to eat."

"Medicine for treatment?" Zhou Kai said.

Zhang Cheng shook his head.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, glanced at the machine in the distance, and said, "Energy."

"That's right. As far as the world is concerned, the most scarce thing is energy."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "There are many kinds of energy, such as natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and even nuclear energy."

"Fighting with aliens will definitely consume a lot of energy. Not only that, fighting will also destroy the environment and squeeze the living space of organisms."

"After that, humans did not eliminate the aliens, but raised them. This practice will make energy consumption even greater."

"In order to maintain human survival and to continue to raise aliens, the surviving humans will definitely look for new energy."

The reason why Zhang Cheng thought of this was because of the deep pit he had seen in the secret room of the hospital.

Zhang Cheng has been thinking about what the role of this deep pit is. Combined with the current situation, perhaps this deep pit is one of the special devices that provide energy.

Of course, how to provide energy specifically, with Zhang Cheng's existing knowledge, he has not figured it out for the time being.

However, when the energy on Earth becomes scarce, under the premise of ensuring that the ecology is not completely destroyed, humans can continue to survive, and no new energy can be found for a while, humans themselves may be used as a new energy source.

After all, even if there is no human link in the food chain, it will not have any impact on the ecology.

Moreover, the human base is huge, and with the existence of cities like the Oracle City that make livestock, this situation is not impossible.

The machine in front of us is the best proof.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhang Cheng was very interested in this machine, and now he is becoming more and more curious, and can't wait to go over and study it.

"Be careful." Lin Yi reminded, "Although this person's heartbeat is quite weak, he is not dead yet."

Lin Yi and Zhou Kai both heard an extremely weak heartbeat, but even if this man is still alive, he may not be able to hold on for long.

"It's better to be alive!" Zhang Cheng was even more excited, "Maybe I can ask some useful information before he dies."

"You are too cruel, aren't you?" Lu Linhai said.

"You're not cruel?" Zhang Cheng teased, "Look at that man's shoulder, your steel rod is still stuck there."

"......" Lu Linhai was speechless - he couldn't beat Zhang Cheng.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Yi agreed with Zhang Cheng's statement.

They couldn't save this man, after all, his condition was already very bad.

Even if he could be saved, he probably couldn't live normally in this world in his current state.

You know, this world is full of dangers, and in this man's current state, he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.

So, the only thing they can do is to free him.

After approaching, Lin Yi heard the man's weak breathing.

However, there was almost only outgoing air, no incoming air.

The man couldn't hear, see, or say anything. Even if he wasn't dead yet, he couldn't feel anything around him.

"Uncle An." Lin Yi glanced at An Chengdao.

An Chengdao nodded, he understood what Lin Yi wanted to say.

The bloodletting knife flew into his hand, and An Chengdao squatted beside the man, trying to cut the thread used to suture the man's organs.

However, these threads were extremely tough and couldn't be cut at all.

The man seemed to feel someone touching him, but he didn't resist or struggle. I don't know if he was used to it, but numb.

"I still don't understand what to do to use a person as a battery." Lu Linhai looked puzzled.

"Does this machine rely on extracting his vitality to operate? Or something else?"

Zhang Cheng has also been thinking about this question. He thought about it, looked up at Lin Yi and others, and a bold guess came to his mind.

"Do you think there is a possibility-" Zhang Cheng said.

"This person who is used as a battery... is a chosen one with special abilities?!"
