Your little cute earth is online

"So, how do you want to go underground?" Zhou Renyu said with a broken expression, "We can't dig a tunnel on the spot, can we?"

"..." Lin Xingzhu laughed, shook his head, and said, "That's not what I meant."

As he spoke, Lin Xingzhu pointed to the Paradise World in the distance: "Tell me, how long can that piece of land wrapped in an energy shield completely separate from the infrastructure of the dungeon exist?"

"Although it's not very certain──judging from the map information we investigated before, 'Paradise World' is not an independent small world that supplies all energy independently. For example, there is a link between him and the energy supply station in the dungeon... Zhou Renyu murmured, "Those are one-way energy pipelines, and they are all buried deep in the ground."

"Then, let's take a drastic drudgery." Lin Xingzhu said, "Didn't he want to keep setting up the energy shield? The sudden shutdown of other facilities in the dungeon should be to save energy and supply the energy shield with maximum power."

"Either we dig out those energy transmission pipelines, follow the gap in the pipeline, and maybe enter the paradise world; or we go to completely shut down the energy supply station." After Ji Yuncheng summed up, he began to bow his head and use the communicator Contact Dr. Woolley and let him attack the energy supply station first, "Although I don't know if this method will work, we should try something."

To their surprise, Woolley quickly responded.Before the energy cover was raised, he had planned to occupy the major factories that produced energy.Shutting down the energy supply station of "Paradise World" is also in his plan, and it will be implemented soon.

Lin Xingzhui and the others waited for about ten minutes.

Dr. Woolley has new information.

"The energy supply station has been shut down. The energy cover of the Paradise World has not changed. It seems that the energy that supports the normal operation of the 'Paradise World' does not come from the dungeon."

If it doesn't come from a dungeon, then it can only come from——

Lin Xingzhui glanced up at the blue energy shield with ripples, and sneered slightly.

"There is no other way, since this is the case, we can only implement the first plan."

Zhou Renyu and Ji Yuncheng looked at each other.

Zhou Renyu: "Then I... Shall I go find an excavator?"

Lin Xingzhu twitched the corners of his mouth: "Is there an excavator around here?"

Zhou Renyu sighed and said, "Yes. There are many abandoned buildings or unfinished projects around here. On the way here, I saw several construction vehicles parked by the side of the road."

Lin Xingzhu was a little curious: "Can you still drive an excavator?"

"... forced by life." Zhou Renyu said with a delicate expression, "When I was in the camp, I was not the kind of fighting talent who was in short supply, nor was I a practical scientist. In order to make money to subsidize research funds, I did Lots of part-time jobs."

As he said that, Zhou Renyu glanced at the ground under his feet: "Now the ground is cracked like this, maybe it can save me a lot of energy. But it's not sure..."

Ji Yuncheng said clearly: "I can try to prepare some explosives for blasting."

The three found a new direction, and together, they decided to go to Dr. Woolley first.

At this time, Dr. Woolley was busy commanding his rebel army to fight north and south.As he had expected before, the army stationed in the dungeon was not that troublesome. What was troublesome was the countless mechanical legions that came out of nowhere.

To make matters worse, those robots loaded with "soul chips" began to follow the mechanical legion to attack the rebels at some point.

The chips loaded on those robots are transformed from human emotions and memories.If awakened correctly, these mechanical creatures have the opportunity to awaken their former personality consciousness like Miao Nan.

——They are also innocent people persecuted by the Institute.

Therefore, the Rebels are often constrained in the face of these robots.

Some rebels regarded these robots as enemies no different from mechanical legions, and they did not hesitate to slaughter them.But there are more rebels who have witnessed the history of these innocent people being exploited by the research institute until their souls were lost. They have deep sympathy and empathy for these robots, and they are unwilling to kill them directly.

Hesitation on the battlefield can sometimes kill people.

After these robots joined the battle, the number of casualties of the rebel army increased significantly.

"...What a bunch of waste." Dr. Woolley complained, "Over the years, I sacrificed so many resources to cultivate this kind of soft-legged shrimp?"

Lin Xingzhu tried his best to restrain his urge to mock him, and said, "At least your rebel soldiers still have some humanity."

Woolley showed the latest casualty report to Lin Xingzhu: "Yes, but look, in this war, the fastest to die are good people with humanity and universal values."

It's not speculative, half a sentence is too much.Lin Xingzhu was too lazy to argue with Dr. Woolley.

Seeing the two of them quarreling, Ji Yuncheng interjected, "We want to get through the underground pipeline, and we need some explosives for blasting."

"It's no problem. I'll prepare it for you." Dr. Woolley readily agreed to their request, with a bit of viciousness in his tone, "By the way, you blow up that disgusting paradise. It's enough."

"However, I still want to remind you. In my opinion, we can't bet our hopes on the rebels—if they can't successfully overthrow the research institute, I will consider leaving the dungeon." Dr. Woolley said, "Also That is to say, the time the Resistance can buy you is limited. You'd better move fast."

If the rebel army is wiped out, the mechanical legion will be free to attack Lin Xingzhu and the others frantically.They can no longer move freely like they do now.

"...Thank you for reminding me." Lin Xingzhu and the others turned and left the command center of the rebel army.

Perhaps after this parting, they would never see Dr. Woolley again.

Before leaving, Lin Xingzhui turned his head and asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"By the way, you have been with the director of the research institute for so many years, do you know what his real name is?"

Almost everyone mentioned "Dean" without information about the surname.It is conceivable that the dean is deliberately hiding his real name.

However, for some reason, Lin Xingzhu asked this question anyway.

"...Do you want to find out the details of the dean?" Woolley said, "So unfortunately, I don't know. When the dean appears, he is often accompanied by various 'miracles'. Now think about it, he It should be under the command of the gods, so he focused on the dungeon. But he is undoubtedly a mortal human being—where he came from, and his name, he never mentioned."

Never mentioning... eh.

Lin Xingzhu was silent for a while, and didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, today, it seems that the name of the dean is not so important.

In any case, after gathering the required tools, they blasted a passage leading to the "Paradise World" according to the pipeline distribution map of the energy station.

The passage is as tall as a person.It's dark, deep, and I don't know where the end is.

Since the energy supply station has just been shut down, there is still some energy left in the pipeline.Therefore, Lin Xingzhui and the others could not use open flames, and could only use dim fluorescent lighting sticks to walk between the pipes.

"Go a few hundred meters further." Lin Xingzhui said, looking at the construction drawing of the underground pipeline of the energy station, "They should have set up a ladder in the pipeline to make it easier for the maintenance personnel of 'Paradise World' to enter and exit here... we should also Can climb out of there."

"What if they seal the exit?" Zhou Renyu asked.

"No. There is no chance. They will definitely seal the exit." Ji Yuncheng walked calmly at the front to explore the way, "So I brought enough drugs."

Zhou Renyu: "..." Is it really prying open the door physically?

"Don't worry about us making too much noise. What we want is to make noise, even the bigger the better. Don't forget that there are still many people in the 'Paradise World' who are immersed in their dreams." Lin Xingzhu added.

Zhou Renyu thought about his relatives whose life and death were uncertain, so he also fell silent.

In the monitoring room of "Paradise World".

[Why did they still find a way to come in? 】

"God" questioned the person standing in front of the information screen in a questioning tone.

But he only got a cold and calm answer from the other party: "Who told you that you didn't provide the energy that can keep the whole paradise running? ── I developed chip robots in the dungeon and increased the output rate of energy, all just to make This land can continue to survive as a myth. For this reason, energy supply stations and pipeline systems had to be built."

Omissions are not made in a day - not even the "gods" can foresee every detail.

[What about an anti-intrusion plan for the plumbing system? 】

"Well. All the energy has been put into the energy shield. The remaining bit is also used to maintain the natural growth of the spirit tree... I closed the exit of the channel, but it seems that it can't stop them."

【…】

Now even the "God" is speechless.

"Please forgive me." The dean even said with a smile, "I never expected such a person to appear—I couldn't kill him, I couldn't let him go, but I couldn't let him get close—the energy shield has never been seen before. It is normal for the defense methods used and the defense design to have loopholes."

Now, the dean didn't even need to pretend, the "God" understood his attitude.

【what you up to?Let him take over the spiritual power we have accumulated? 】

【Let me tell you, don't try to please him by offering this 'paradise' and spiritual tree.He doesn't need these.He will only accuse you, judge you, and end your life. 】

"...And then?" The young man asked with burning eyes, "What happens after he kills me? Will he command the Zerg to destroy our surviving base, or—control the lifeblood of the Zerg and the Terran, and control this planet?"

"I know what you are doing. You want to completely awaken the spiritual tree. The mental power is not enough, so you look for subsidies from us. But he doesn't seem to have the trouble of lack of mental power."

He looked up and looked at the tree-like spirit body still dim in the crown of the tree above his head.

"Or, you are so jealous of him because...he is the real owner of the thing you can't pursue?"
