Although exhalation did not leave any mist on the mask, the sound of breathing and the narrow field of vision made everyone feel very anxious.
One member hesitated and took off his mask when he saw Mu Su carelessly taking off his protective clothing and standing conspicuously in factory uniform among the crowd.
There was no difficulty breathing or discomfort, and the data from the vehicle also showed that the air was normal.
One after another, members took off their masks, but they were not as naked as Mu Su. They just took off their masks.
"Spread out and find the location of the AIC host or enter the underground passage." Joyce also took off his mask.
The information collected indicates that AIC is located underground, and the staff offices are on the ground. It is unknown whether the people here escaped after AIC took over control of the base.
It didn't take long for more than thirty people to search a four-story building. The members of the Eternal Life Society scattered in all directions.
There was no one to control him, so Mu Su just hid behind him and ran around looking around.
The halls and bustling offices that once had people coming and going are now dormant in a cold, dark silence. Searchlights swayed, and rows of desks and metal decorations flickered and reflected light.
What surprised the members was that as a 400-year-old and unmaintained Black Mountain science and technology base, this place was in perfect condition. It was almost ready for people to move in and work directly.
Mu Su followed several members to an employee lounge on the second floor. This place was also inexplicably clean - not just clean and stain-free, but all clutter was gone, leaving only the employee cabinets and wooden benches in the corner.
.
Squeak, squeak, squeak—
There was a continuous grinding sound of the metal cabinet door being opened. When the members checked the wardrobe, Mu Su squatted in front of the bench and touched it lightly with his hand. Then his eyes gradually opened wide.
It was even waxed! Isn’t it a bit exaggerated?
Anderson opened the metal cabinet, but it was empty. Just as he was about to close it, a pattern passed by his peripheral vision. He paused, reopened the metal cabinet, and saw a photo taped on the door.
The traces of time can clearly be seen in the photo. In the yellowed photo, a little girl with ponytail and brown hair is smiling brightly at the camera, with a giant Ferris wheel in the background.
There is a line of signature below.
1998.6.1
The photo was taken on Children's Day.
"Is this a photo? Is it your daughter?" His companion came up to take a look.
"I found it in the cabinet." Anderson explained, took out a photo from his arms and smiled at his companion: "Look, this is my daughter, she is very beautiful."
After hearing the conversation, Mu Su suddenly wanted to quit.
Is this flag too standard? If I finish this battle, I will go back to my hometown to get married. There is no need to explore the Montenegro science and technology base. I just wait to die.
"Stop dawdling." Another member closed the empty cabinet and said impatiently: "Hurry up and finish the task and leave this hellish place. I'm going to propose to my girlfriend when I get back."
"Hahaha." Mu Su looked up to the sky and laughed three times, his laughter was solemn and solemn. He thought about how it would be useful if AIC jumped out and begged for mercy.
After searching the rest room, Mu Su followed them into the infirmary next door. It was also clean, except for a dummy standing in the corner with no head cover. There was also no brain that should have been in the head.
"Attention, members, the entrance to the underground passage has been discovered. Get to the location marked in the mask as soon as possible."
The communicator sent instructions, and the members hurriedly put on their masks. The mask HUD already showed the main structure of the building and underground space.
The underground passage is located at the end of a corridor.
When Mu Su and others arrived, the elevator door had been forcibly opened, and the members set up ropes and moved down one after another.
The elevator is connected to the main power supply. On AIC territory, they would not be stupid enough to provide energy to the Black Mountain Technology Base.
A few minutes later, the first member to arrive at the bottom of the elevator shaft sent a communication and had already opened the elevator door and entered a facility.
It's 170 meters deep there.
Except for the registered members who stayed on the first floor for emergencies, everyone else slid down one after another.
After more than a dozen people went down, Chen Yue looked at Mu Su with a half-smile.
"What are you looking at?" Mu Su pretended to glare back fiercely. Then two members grabbed him, one on the left and the other on the right.
Chen Yue gave an order, and they tied Mu Su into a pupa and hung him down.
"You can't do this to me, I'm--"
"Have you tried this trick before?" Chen Yue smiled and watched as the struggling and squirming Mu Su was slowly hung down.
The screams echoed in the elevator shaft, then faded away.
When everyone above thought it could be quieter, they heard a low voice coming from the bottom.
A few minutes later, Mu Su landed, and the members hurriedly untied Mu Su.
The members who came down first have found the AIC computer room. After everyone comes down, they will head towards the target point.
More than 30 people walked along the corridor, and there was a dull atmosphere in the warm atmosphere. No one spoke. It was because they were nearly 200 meters underground, because they were in awe of the place of their predecessors, and because of Mu Su's class.
In any case, after going a hundred meters forward, the front suddenly becomes clear, and it is no longer a cookie-cutter passage.
At the end of the passage is a hexagonal hall, covering an area of more than a thousand square meters. The edges are high and have a slight downward slope.
At the very bottom or in the center of the room, there is a metal platform.
There is a glass test tube on a metal table.
There is a brain soaked there.
The members gathered in front of the passage, and dozens of searchlights shone on the glass test tube. The strong light bounced off, making it difficult for them to see the brain for a while.
"Is this AIC..."
"I thought it would look more high-end."
"It should be dead..."
There was a sound of discussion and the members dispersed. However, without exception, they just stayed in front of the passage and did not approach rashly.
"Ulysses, hack into the AIC host and take out its algorithm program."
This is the purpose of the Eternal Life Society. They are also aware of the threat and uncontrollability of AIC, so they only want that part of the algorithm to bring back the synthetic humans who have been restricted to death by the code.
A member stepped forward, carrying the black box on his back, and came to the brain test tube to connect the black box to the metal table.
Buzz——
The hall suddenly flickered several times, and the white ceiling above the head lit up in circles, and the lighting was restored.
The members felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Mu Su, who wanted to escape, was grabbed by Chen Yue's collar.
"Don't be nervous...it may be that the body is connected to the power supply. The energy input here is normal." Ulysses said hurriedly with cold sweat on his forehead.
[He is right.]
A synthesized female voice sounded in the hall.
"It's over..."
The voice of a member next to Musu was full of despair.
aic wakes up.
This is the reality they least want to face.
"What would you do if you destroyed your brain?"
Joyce's voice woke up the stunned people, and he aimed the electromagnetic rifle at the brain.
[Oh God, please don’t do that...the brackets are shaking brackets.] A synthesized female voice sounded with a strange tone, and a mechanical tentacle extended under the metal table, climbed and coiled around the glass test tube, and then gradually tightened.
[Why do you think——]
In front of everyone's eyes, cracks were all over the glass tube itself. After a few seconds, it shattered with a crisp sound. The liquid fell down together with the brain. The brain bounced on the ground a few times and stopped.
