Chu Xiangxiang returned to the team.

Ye Qing also added a protective cover to Chu Xiangxiang.

The four of them entered the disintegration portal one after another.

After a moment of pain, the four were teleported to another dimension - what appeared to be a laboratory.

The space in the laboratory is not too large, about 1,000 square meters.

There are no less than 50 beds in the space, some of which are only a few tens of centimeters long, while others are four or five meters long.

The air in this space contains a disgusting smell of decay.

However, there are places in the space that are bloodstained, but overall it is clean - for example, you won't see flies and mice.

The vast majority of the beds here are empty, but there are also a very small number of beds that are not empty.

For example, a few dozen meters in front of the four people, there is a hospital bed, about 6 meters long, and on top of that hospital bed, a huge figure is lying at this moment.

The figure was extremely ugly in appearance, very bloated, and had lines of wire stitching on its body.

Ye Qing and the other four people, after adapting to the environment here, began to carefully explore and investigate.

Although the strength of the four people themselves is not weak, because they have been cheated many times before, the four of them did not act separately this time, but moved forward together.

Chu Xiangxiang said with an ugly face: "What the hell is this place? There is a disgusting smell in the air, I don't like this place." ”

"Nobody will like it. Bu Fan glanced at Chu Xiangxiang and said lightly.

In this space, the giant that was stitched together was the most conspicuous.

Therefore, Ye Qing's route of progress was mainly towards that big giant.

Chu Xiangxiang continued to nag, "You say, what does this laboratory do?"

"Nature is experimenting. Bu Fan said lightly.

"Cut, when I don't know if it's an experiment? I mean, what kind of experiment. At present, there are at least twenty corpses here. So I mean—is this a ward, a funeral home, or something else?" Chu Xiangxiang tilted her head and looked at Bu Fandao.

Bu Fan shrugged his shoulders and pouted: "I'm not from here, you ask me, who do I ask?"

"yes, I shouldn't have asked you stupid. Chu Xiangxiang complained, and then turned her gaze to Ye Qing's body, "Ye Qing, you are so powerful, do you know what you do here?"

Ye Qing really knew.

Because every time he enters a new space, Ye Qing always communicates with Gilgamesh.

However, Chu Xiangxiang's attitude made Ye Qing very unhappy, so Ye Qing didn't bother to deal with Chu Xiangxiang at all.

Chu Xiangxiang was bored, and lost interest in continuing to nag.

The four of them quickly walked up to the big giant's side.

Looking at the appearance of the giant, the big armored monster he encountered earlier inexplicably appeared in Bu Fan's mind, "Ye Qing, is it possible that this guy is the big one we met in the last space?"

"Much fatter than that. Ye Qing observed the big giant for a moment, and then concluded, "It shouldn't be the same one—or rather, it shouldn't be the same type." Actually, after I deciphered the computer, I got some things about this ruin. ”

Jian Yan, Bu Fan, and Chu Xiangxiang all showed a look of curiosity on their faces.

Chu Xiangxiang hurriedly said, "What is it?"

"The name of the race that built this ruin, what it was used for at that time, and why they caught organic creatures, and so on. Ye Qing said lightly.

Bu Fan's eyes lit up, "You actually know so much information?

"Hmm. Ye Qing nodded.

These are naturally the ones that Gilgamesh told him.

The reason why Ye Qing wanted to say it was because he wanted to make the sword kill them as equal to his own information as possible, so that when he encountered many problems, it was easy to talk about it. Otherwise, if you encounter a situation where Ye Qing has to say something, everything Ye Qing knows, just take it out and say it, I'm afraid it will inevitably take a lot of effort to explain some useless things.

For example, the provenance and so on.

It just so happened that Ye Qing had cracked a computer before, and he happened to use this reason to tell everything he knew.

"Let's make a brief induction, and then you ask questions, and I'll elaborate on them. First of all, the people who built this ruin, translated into modern terms, are the undead. ”

"Ghost?!" Chu Xiangxiang was startled, staring at her with wide eyes, and said with a hairy face.

Ye Qing shook his head slightly, "It's not a ghost in the traditional sense, I don't know if you have played Warhammer 40K?"

"I've played it!" Chu Xiangxiang said.

Bu Fan also nodded.

But the sword died shook his head slightly.

That's right, this girl is a martial arts idiot, where will she play games?

Ye Qing continued: "In Warhammer 40K, there is an undead clan. The undead here are very similar to that one, but they look like the undead, and the body is actually a metal structure. Through this technology, they have achieved immortality in a general sense. ”

"Damn! Although immortality sounds tempting, if it is immortalized in that form, I will not accept it anyway, I have feelings, I have preferences, the key is to have a little JJ, ......" Chu Xiangxiang said with a look of resistance.

Bu Fan has a different opinion, "I don't think so, as long as I can live, I think it's good." ”

Ye Qing smiled and continued, "Let's continue to get down to business. About a few million years ago, this civilization was the overlord of Earth – or more precisely, the galaxy. Their name is - Empire of the Dead. Let's talk about the purpose of this ruin, in fact, after so much, you should have your own ideas, right?"

"Arsenal?" Bu Fan said first.

"Clever. Ye Qing glanced at Bu Fan appreciatively, "That's right, it's the arsenal." In the Empire of the Undead, the vast majority of its members are pure metal structures, but the kind of metal that makes up the undead is a very scarce substance. If you replace it with other metals, not only the effect is unsatisfactory, but the key is that the cost is extremely high. ”

"In this way, when the Empire of the Undead was first founded, to be exact, from a population of organic beings that were no different from us humans now, to become a mechanical race. At the beginning of the founding of the Empire of the Dead, only the princes and nobles and business warriors became all-metal structures. And the rest, because there are no suitable materials, in order to save costs, transform to semi-mechanization. ”

"The main members of the entire Empire of the Undead are semi-mechanized members. This kind of transformation can be said to be of good quality and low price. However, there is a huge disadvantage of semi-mechanization, which is that it cannot survive forever like all-metal structures. The part of the semi-mechanized body that belongs to organic matter will eventually decay and dissipate. Therefore, in order to perpetuate the imperial fire, the Empire of the Undead has introduced a foreign policy - assimilation. ”

On the issue of assimilation, Ye Qing changed Gilgamesh's explanation.

First, Gilgamesh's statement is too troublesome to explain, and second, in Ye Qing's opinion, there is no need to explain it.

Chu Xiangxiang's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and she said with some horror: "Ye Qing, on that platform just now, wouldn't that group of guys just want to give me away...... Assimilation, right?"

"Congratulations, you got it right, but unfortunately there was no prize. ”

"I'm going to wipe it, I'm not going to be a semi-mechanical creature if I kill me, it's disgusting. Chu Xiangxiang said with a look of resistance.

Bu Fan glanced at Chu Xiangxiang, "You are really enough, aren't you alive and well now?" Don't interrupt, listen to Ye Qing slowly. ”

Ye Qing smiled, "My induction is over, next, if you have any questions, you can ask them." ”

"I'll do it first. Bu Fan was the first to ask: "Regarding that assimilation, if we are assimilated, will we still retain the original consciousness?"

Assimilation in a general sense, the assimilated person will retain part of the original consciousness, but the way of thinking and acting is more inclined to the assimilated person.

However, the assimilation of the undead is to KO out the quantum information of the person, leaving only the human body, and then semi-mechanized. In such a situation, your soul is gone, what consciousness do you want to keep? Not surprisingly, the undead clan will probably strip their brains when transforming.

When Ye Qing thought of this, Gilgamesh interjected: "Captain, that's it!"

"Go and don't prying into my mind. Ye Qing glanced at Gilgamesh - in fact, with his ability, he could completely create an electromagnetic barrier to shield Gilgamesh's prying eyes. It's just that Ye Qing needs Gilgamesh, and secondly, he subconsciously treats Gilgamesh as a robot.

In this way, there is naturally no need to deliberately hide anything, and Gilgamesh is not an outsider.

Straight to the point.

Ye Qing explained to Bu Fan: "According to the information I have, I probably won't retain my original consciousness. It may be that the worldview and values are different, and the assimilation that the undead people believe is mainly for the flesh, not the spirit. When assimilation begins, the human brain is stripped away. ”

"!" Because the picture sense was too strong, Bu Fan had to burst into foul language, and at the same time subconsciously touched his head, "Peel off ......your brain?" This is a little scary!"

"Who says it's not. Ye Qing shrugged, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Chu Xiangxiang raised her right hand high, "I'll ask, I'll ask." ”

"You say. ”

……

In this way, Ye Qing and Jian Yan and the others, you asked and I answered back and forth a few times, and Ye Qing finally explained the things he wanted to explain to these guys. In this way, if there are some problems in the future, it will be much more convenient for Ye Qing to make some other explanations.

And just when the four of them were chatting happily, they didn't notice that the huge monster on the hospital bed on the side, the suture monster, quietly sat up from the hospital bed.

Don't look at its huge size, but when it moves, it is silent.

In addition, this monster itself does not have the breath of a martial artist, so even the most alert sword corpse did not notice the stitching and stitching monster!

After the stitching monster sat up, he slowly turned his head towards Ye Qing and the four of them. And it was only by this time that the stitching monster made some noise.

"Click, click, click......"

At this time, in this laboratory, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as silent.

Therefore, the strange sound that suddenly appeared immediately made Ye Qing and the four of them creepy.

"What's going on?" Chu Xiangxiang was the first to look in the direction where the voice came from—the giant, and directly saw a huge figure.

At this time, the suture monster had completely turned its head, opened its black blood basin mouth with iron wires sewn up and down, and smiled kindly at Chu Xiangxiang.

"Mom-ah-" Chu Xiangxiang screamed in fright.
