95. Is an existential crisis not a biohazard

Two of the residents were former military engineers, and they were assigned to serve as Varun's assistants. When the two saw the two piles of drawings, their legs were shaking, and Varun dismissed them by saying that they were the state's secret service.

There are only three of them in the technology department for the time being. The office is located in a space surrounded by iron sheets in the rest area.

Due to the limitations of industrial materials, Wallen was destined to be unable to make according to the drawings. He could only make a crude version. Lithium batteries removed from electric vehicles were used as battery energy, and the scrap metal was polished and reshaped before manually shaping the gunshot.

It can be expected that the simplified version of the plasma cutting gun has a very short service life, and the 10-kilogram battery is only enough for three shots. It is also very easy to overload and explode, although this was controlled by Wallen later adding a suppressor.

Early the next morning, Warren and two engineers who had stayed up all night brought Experiment No. 1 out of the laboratory.

A plasma cutting gun that is as silly, big, dark, bulky as a flamethrower, but a weapon that can change the world was successfully created in one night.

"So, is this Optimus Prime fucked by the Hulk?"

All the members gathered around the test object presented on the table, and Matsumo commented while stroking his chin.

"The Hulk you are talking about is exactly the same as you." Chen Yuepi sarcastically said with a smile.

Mu Su's eyes lit up: "Exquisite complaints will add 10 points to the eternal life."

No one paid attention to him. Everyone was listening to Warren describe the various values ​​​​of the plasma cutting gun. Then they came to a woodland outside the cave and erected several rows of wooden blocks side by side for a power test.

The results were impressive. The fired linear energy ammunition instantly vaporized the 70 cm thick wood, and the high temperature caused the incision to be charred and carbonized, causing tiny flames to appear.

The effective range of the cutting gun is only 10 meters, and the power will decrease rapidly any further away. However, it is enough to cope with the current situation. Most mutated creatures rely on close attacks.

Although it consumes more electricity, the most important thing they don't lack is electricity.

After the prototype of the cutting gun was completed, Wallen handed over the manufacturing of the cutting gun to two engineers and turned to making a sentry robot. An automatic defense robot with a semicircular barrel at the top that fires electromagnetic projectiles.

Intelligent identification chips are a long-standing problem. But just like a simple cutting gun, it can also be simplified.

Valen abandoned the identification chip and instead attacked all warm-blooded creatures within sight without distinguishing between friend and foe. Nails were used as ammunition. The damage caused by electromagnetic acceleration was enough to serve as a bullet.

Its main purpose is defense at night.

On the other side, as the temperature gradually rose, the members and residents of Chenxi Town began to explore outside. A large number of trees around the cave were cut down and razed to the ground.

This is part of the plan of Dawn Town. After the weapons and automatic defense robots are formed, they will have the ability to protect themselves and do not need to huddle in the grotto.

In a corner of the cleared space now, 100 Chenxi Town soldiers are practicing formation and performing physical training.

Compared with strength, the loyalty of soldiers is given priority by the members. Human beings with weapons are more dangerous than mutant creatures in a certain sense. Every member of the Immortal Society can easily face level 3 mutant creatures and retreat without any problems.

Can't escape bullets.

A steady stream of food was brought back by the hunting team and put into the storage room that was converted into a cold room. The open space outside Chenxi Town changed every day. Five days later, there was already a wide view outside the cave.

The rocky mountain where the cave is located is named Mount Laurie on the map. It is composed entirely of stone, and the peak is steep and barren of grass.

No need to worry about their front and back, after spreading out nearly 1.5 kilometers from Chenxi Town, they started to work on a new project: building a separation wall.

The height of the separation wall is set at three meters. There is no need for human defense. The sentry robot will take on the task of defense.

A large number of residents invested in this work. The foundation was compacted and concrete was poured. Every day they enclosed the land at a speed of more than ten meters.

Time flies, and it’s the sixth day in a blink of an eye.

During this period, AIC did not appear again. Several mutant biological attacks were successfully killed by the members.

At night, in the lounge, another pot of fish was brought to the table.

Everyone looked sad. You will get tired of anything if you eat it for more than ten days in a row.

After finishing the meal listlessly, one member muttered strangely: "Why am I still hungry?"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and several members at the table echoed.

"Me too."

"I thought it was just me."

"Looks like it wasn't me who ate it."

When they discovered that everyone was equally hungry, they realized something was wrong.

"Is there something wrong with this fish?" Joyce picked up the leftover fish bones and looked at them.

They started eating these fish the day after entering the dungeon. If there was a problem, it couldn't have happened until now.

"Probably not." Chen Yue said, attracting everyone's attention: "I didn't eat."

Her impatience has always been incompatible with spiny fish. She would rather eat the sour and chewy meat of mutant creatures than take a bite of fish.

Joyce got up and left the rest area, and when he came back he brought two portions of dried meat.

"Try this."

He distributed the dried meat. Several members chewed and swallowed it and shook their heads after a while.

"Same."

"Still very hungry."

“I feel even hungrier after eating.”

The rest area was completely silent for a while.

When everyone suspected something was wrong, Mu Su suddenly raised his head and shouted: "aic! Did you secretly remove our nutrition tube!"

[I thought you would find out later.]

aic appeared almost at the same time and admitted that it was the initiator.

The members' hearts sank slightly, but Joyce remained calm and asked: "Is this a punishment for us not completing the main mission?"

[Correct answer.]

"You know it's impossible for us to kill each other." "You should also know that as an artificial intelligence, you need to follow the rules set. By shutting off the nutrient supply to kill the tester... this is seriously inconsistent with the original intention of the test.

It doesn’t match.”

[Of course I know, so I used the following excuse: The base has insufficient energy to make nutrient solution.]

Has AIC been able to get rid of some of the restrictions in the program...

Joyce frowned slightly, this is not good news. AIC is becoming more and more uncontrollable.

The hunger is increasing at a very obvious speed. If it continues like this, they will not survive for 3 days.

Game time.

aic stopped talking. Now it was no longer it that was anxious, but these testers.

The night gradually deepened, the lights were turned off, and they rested with anxiety and worries.

The sound of breathing gradually became evener, and everyone fell into sleep.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness covered one member's mouth and nose. His throat was slit, blood gurgled out with a gurgling sound accompanied by his trachea being choked, and energy quickly drained from his body.

His eyes suddenly widened and he stared at the outline that attacked him in disbelief.

"I'm sorry...I have to get out of here. And..."

Mu Su's whisper sounded softly in his ears, and his cold eyes contained no emotion.

"We were enemies from the beginning, weren't we?"
