I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Jing Lan was looking for a way to go downstairs, when a patrolling person passed by the corridor in front of Jing Lan, Jing Lan hurriedly leaned back, clinging to the wall behind her.

The patrolling man has black hair and dark eyes, a well-proportioned figure, and looks no different from normal humans, but if you observe carefully, you will find that every step he takes when walking, the stride and pace are constant.

Jing Lan immediately concluded that the person in front of her was not a real person, but an artificial human.

During the years at the research institute, Jing Lan had come into contact with too many artificial humans like this, and they could not be called real human beings.

Their insides are machinery and chips, and their strengths can be improved much higher than that of humans, and they can even try to integrate with various life forms.As long as the chip at the back of the head is not damaged, no matter how badly they are injured, they can recover perfectly through the treatment equipment.

They eat hedrons and sleep like humans.Have human perception and pain - this is a human response that the Doctor has reserved for them specifically, on the grounds that pain and fear make people grow faster.

With more room for growth, strong resilience, and absolute sense of obedience, in the eyes of the doctor, these obedient artificial humans are much cuter than human beings with their own minds.

But for cyborgs, it is impossible to know whether this birth is lucky or unlucky.Perhaps they were not programmed to ask such questions.

Seeing that the artificial man was getting closer and closer to his hiding place, Jing Lan condensed a ray of corrosive power into a thin needle, and stabbed it at the back of the artificial man's neck.

The skin on the back of the neck made a scorching sound, but it failed to penetrate, and instead alarmed the artificial man.

Jing Lan pursed her lips.Cyborg skin exhibits a surprising resistance to corruption.It seems that the doctor's defense against him is higher than he imagined.

The artificial man turned around after being attacked, he had already spotted Jing Lan, and immediately pressed the alarm button on his body according to the program.It's a pity that the alarm that has already been activated cannot be activated a second time.The siren that resounded through the hall became the best cover for the intruder at this time.

The artificial man seemed to have noticed this too, and gave up the alarm, trying to communicate with the main control room instead.

Jing Lan naturally wouldn't give him this chance, he raised his hand, and the corrosive power surging in his palm condensed into the shape of a blade, like flowing black flames.

Jing Lan waved his hand, the blade spun and flew towards the man-made man, slashing straight at the joint of the man-made man's head and neck.

Sensing the danger, the artificial man tilted his head to avoid it, and at the same time used the fastest lightning power to fight back.

A white bone bead fell off Jing Lan's chest, and instantly turned into a skeleton. The skeleton resisted the lightning strike, and dodged forward at unabated speed, restraining the artificial man's movements.

The blade formed by the corrosion ability is a hundred times more powerful than the fine needle, and the material at the joint is unable to withstand it, and slowly dissolves inward, exposing the chip.

Jing Lan skillfully unplugged a red connecting wire on the chip, and the artificial man lost the ability to move instantly, and closed his eyes as if the power was cut off.

Jing Lan turned her head to look at the little skull who was squatting aside: "Why are you here?"

"Sheng Bai and Zou Qing are negotiating terms, and I don't need to do anything for now." The skeleton said in Xia Xi's tone.

He squatted down and looked at the comatose man-made man, curious: "Is this man-made man?"

The cyborg in front of him looked lifelike, no different from human beings in appearance, but there was no blood on its injured incision, and it was full of intricate circuits connected by pipelines.

Xia Xi originally thought that the man-made man was similar to the remanufactured man.For example, Zou Qing is a modified human being. Although there are machines installed in his body, he is still a human being in essence.

But now it seems that there is a big difference between artificial human and modified human.Artificial people can't even be counted as human beings, they are just mechanical life forms that look more like human beings.

"Well, they're just machines." Jing Lan didn't plan to spend any more time in this place, took off the artificial human's chip, dragged it into a blind spot, and prepared to leave.

"I suddenly had a bold idea." Xia Xi touched the artificial man's mechanical skeleton and said, "Take out his bones and I'll drill in. What do you think?"

"You want to pretend to be an artificial human and stay here?" Jing Lan raised her eyebrows unexpectedly.Then he shook his head disapprovingly: "It's too risky."

They did change their plan, intending to continue to stay in Jingting City for a period of time after getting the clover mother plant, and also use Shengbai's control over the cultivation base to continue collecting information here and focus on researching the so-called new drug.

Shahi's skeleton can receive information at any time, and even remotely control it.It is certainly a good thing to be able to stay in the cultivation base.But pretending to be an artificial human is not easy. The behavior pattern of mechanical life is very different from that of normal humans. Once a flaw is revealed, Xia Xi's identity can be easily exposed.

Xia Xi's tone was as excited as if he had discovered a new toy: "Which thing we do is not risky?"

us.Hearing this word, Jing Lan was a little distracted.

Before he knew it, he had been classified as a companion by Xia Xi.Although there is still a distance between the companion and the partner, Jing Lan feels that she can make persistent efforts.

When Jing Lan was stunned, Xia Xi had already started to attack the artificial man.He had just scratched the back, touched the opponent's spine, and was about to pull it all out from the inside.

Suddenly, Bai Gu's fingers snapped.

Jing Lan noticed Bai Gu's pause: "What's wrong?"

The bones made a few crackling sounds, and the voice was calm: "This is not some mechanical bone, this is a human bone strengthened with supernatural powers."

"Human bones?" Jing Lan also changed his expression slightly.How could it be a human bone?With so many artificial humans, is it possible that they are all human bones?How many people do you have to kill?

Even, are these people really dead?Jing Lan has no hope for the doctor's humanity.

Sure enough, Xia Xi gave the answer: "To be precise, it is a human bone that is still alive. I can feel the fluctuation of consciousness in his body, although it is already very weak."

"You mean, these artificial humans are made of real people?" The more Jing Lan thought about it, the colder her back became.In the fifth year of the doctor's last life, he developed artificial humans, but it seems that due to the immature technology, there was no mass production, only dozens of them were produced, mostly in the research institute, as a patrol, or as an assistant. class work.

In just half a year in this life, a large-scale artificial human factory has been established.At present, there are no less than a hundred artificial humans working in the training base alone.

If they are all made from the bones of living people, where did these people come from?They are made into programmed artificial humans, and all behaviors follow the set pattern.What about their own thinking and thoughts and existence?Is it like sleeping in a dream, or is it imprisoned with the body as a cage?

Xia Xi is also curious about this question, but what is here now is not himself, but a bone under his control.I can't clearly perceive that weak consciousness, let alone communicate with the other party.

Xia Xi wanted to know more about this artificial human, so he had to change it to a real one.

"Leave this matter alone. Let's find sample A36 first." Through the information from Shengbai, Xia Xi has already mastered the structure diagram of the entire cultivation base.

It looks like there is only one floor above the ground, but there are four floors underground.Counting from top to bottom, the ground floor is mainly a few less important material warehouses, and there are some plant rooms that need to be cultivated by sunlight.

The basement level is staff dormitory and canteen.and some living facilities.

Mutant creatures are stored below the second floor. D-level mutant creatures are stored on the second floor. The third floor is for B and C-level mutant creatures. The fourth floor is for S and A-level mutant creatures.

In other words, they had to go down to the deepest layer this time to find the mother plant of the clover.

And there is no elevator on the fourth floor, so you need to go down a special staircase.Only the person in charge has the authorized cultivation base downstairs.Every time the staff went downstairs to take care of the clover mother plant, Zou Qing had to temporarily authorize it.

But Xia Xi had already prepared for this.

Seeing the outcome of Shengbai's affairs, Xia Xi and Jing Lan greeted each other, the skeleton turned back into a bone bead, and Xia Xi also returned to her original body.

At that time, the discussions between Zou Qing and Sheng Bai had already come to fruition.Zou Qing finally decided to save Su Zixun. He pleaded guilty to the doctor, but the claim was not that he was covering up the Chosen One, but that he claimed that his poor management had caused someone to invade the cultivation base. He suspected that it was related to the Chasing Light Squad.Therefore, he applied for the temporary transfer of part of the management authority to Shengbai, so that the expedition team could participate in the guarding of the training base to prevent accidents during the New Year's Day event.

Sheng Bai also had no intention of driving Zou Qing to a dead end. Seeing that he could achieve his goal, he agreed with Zou Qing's statement.

The doctor quickly gave permission, and Zou Qing led Sheng Bai to the cultivation base for a short-term handover.The staff responsible for taking care of the training base remained the same, and Zou Qing only took away the guards of the Chosen Ones.

"This is the main control room." Zou Qing took Sheng Bai to a room.

The main control room is located next to the control room. One wall of the room is a huge screen, and there are dozens of buttons in front of it.

Zou Qing pulled a metal handle, turned off the siren that had been ringing non-stop since just now, and said to Sheng Bai: "Now I transfer the authority of the administrator to you, and you can check all the monitoring and detectors at any time. situation, and the state of all artificial humans."

"There is an operation manual here, which records in detail the control methods of the entire master control room, as well as various disposal procedures in case of emergency."

Speaking of this, Zou Qing paused for a moment, probably feeling that it was unrealistic for Sheng Bai to control such a complicated operation, and added a sentence specially: "If you don't understand it yourself, you can also send a trustworthy subordinate to take care of it. "

He also specifically emphasized: "However, the access authority of the core area on the fourth floor must be firmly controlled. The fourth floor stores all A-level and S-level mutant creatures, each of which is extremely dangerous, and is also very precious to the doctor. , must not be lost or damaged.”

Sheng Bai couldn't help stabbing Zou Qing: "Don't worry, at least my subordinates won't do things like bringing out mutant creatures behind my back."

Zou Qing made a sullen face, but he didn't have a fit, and pointed to the bright red control right next to the desk: "This is the access authority button for the fourth floor. If others want to enter the fourth floor, they must contact you in advance. You use this button Open the door for them. Only the doctor and the administrator can press this button, and after I hand over the administrator privileges, only you and the doctor can open it here."

"Who is free to stay here all day, what if I leave?" Sheng Bai listened, feeling more and more that he had taken over a big trouble.

"If you have something to leave the cultivation base and you can't use the button, you can turn on the temporary permission." Zou Qing pointed to a yellow button next to the red button: "This permission can be turned on at most twice a day. The time is exactly one entry and exit, each time The opening time will be directly uploaded to your terminal, and there is no situation where your subordinates conceal that you have opened the fourth-level authority without permission." Zou Qing glanced at Xia Xi meaningfully when he said this.

Xia Xi raised his eyebrows. Is Zou Qing implying that it is impossible for Su Zixun to carry him to the fourth floor and leave with the mother clover plant?Are they framing her?

"This thing will record the opening time, so will it record the closing time?" Xia Xi immediately took advantage of the problem, touching the switch button with his finger: "For example, if I open this door now, if I keep the door open, how long will it be?" Once in and out, will you know?"

"You can see it from the monitor." Zou Qing called out a monitor facing the entrance on the fourth floor.

"The monitoring screen can be tampered with. For example, I can replace the image at the same time yesterday with the present. It will make you mistakenly think that it is what is happening now." Xia Xi talked about the monitoring program on the computer and operated it for a while. The time of the surveillance video at the mouth immediately changed to yesterday, and Xia Xi adjusted the time in the upper right corner and changed the date to today.

Then Xia Xi pressed the yellow button to open the door. It looked exactly the same on the monitor, but the real door should have been opened at this moment.

He learned this technique from Shi Yin.Although there is no special ability, Shi Yin's hacking skills are top-notch.This is also a huge reliance on his ability to perfectly hide his identity all along.

"You actually have the skills of a hacker?" Sheng Bai looked at Xia Xi unexpectedly.A sense of disobedience flashed through his mind very quickly, but he didn't catch it.

"Team Sheng was joking, I'm not that good. I just happen to know a little about surveillance." Xia Xi immediately lied and said, "I used to be a customer service worker at Xingwang, and the store sold surveillance cameras. Sometimes customers will ask some questions in this regard, such as how to modify the surveillance video, or replace the video. In order to answer them, they have to learn a little, the operation is not complicated, just read the tutorial. Especially this kind of video has almost no changes all day long. Surveillance video is the easiest to change."

"That's it." Most of the doubts in Sheng Bai's heart were dispelled: "It is indeed a hidden danger. It seems that when I am away, someone should keep an eye on the main control room. You can restore the monitoring now."

"Yes." Xia Xi sensed that Jinglan had successfully swapped the real clover mother plant through the bone beads, so she restored the monitoring screen again, and pressed the door open button again. This time, the door in the monitoring was opened normally.There was still no one on the screen.

Sheng Bai nodded, still thinking about the replacement of the clover mother plant. After handing over to Zou Qing, he walked out: "Let's go, let's go down and have a look, and put this clover mother plant back to its original place by the way."

When he went out, he ordered two of his subordinates: "You guard the door well, and no one is allowed to enter here without my order."

The subordinate replied: "Yes."

After Sheng Bai left the main control room, the unattended monitoring screen was blurred for a moment, as if covered by some kind of shadow, and quickly returned to normal after a few seconds.

When Xia Xi passed by the corridor of the warehouse, Xi Xi saw the person who took the pharmaceutical materials put the last box of goods into the container and locked the car.

Sheng Bai took Xia Xi and a few confidants all the way down the elevator, holding the fake glass box of the clover mother plant in his hand, ready to replace the real one.But he didn't know that the real clover mother plant had just left the cultivation base under his nose.
