"Hey, are you still alive?"

The slightly irradiated sewage flowed down the girl's dirty and greasy black hair, and Qi Lin seemed to see the girl tremble slightly imperceptibly.

Qi Lin just wanted to get closer, but the girl suddenly shrunk her shoulders, and in an instant, the two steel nails nailed to the shoulders tore the already miserable wounds on the girl's body even more, and several white fat maggots fell into the water.

A slight sound came from under the girl's head, but Qi Lin couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

"Cooper, did you hear what she said?"

"Her word order and pronunciation are a bit confused, and I can only understand a few key words, but after my analysis just now, she seems to be scared and asks you not to go near her."

"Scared?"

A girl who would be scared of this would be locked up in such a place by a mutual aid society? Moreover, judging from the various confinements on the girl's body and the very heavy iron chains, it seems that the mutual aid association is very afraid of her......

"Why are you being locked up here?" Qi Lin asked with the muzzle of the gun slightly off.

It took at least ten seconds for the girl to lift her head with difficulty, and a pair of somewhat confused eyes appeared between her tousled hair.

"I ...... I...... I don't know ......."

Qi Lin finally heard this sentence clearly, but there was basically no difference between hearing it clearly and not hearing it clearly.

This girl, could it be that she has lost her consciousness because she has been tortured by the mutual aid association? You know, although all the attacks in the game world will not damage the player's physical body in reality, but the mental impact is real, if you go crazy in the game, then even if you quit the game and return to the real world, it will be difficult to return to normal.

Just when Qi Lin wanted to ask about the depressions outside, Cooper's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the speed of his speech was quite fast.

"Master, please don't stay any longer, those people from the mutual aid society outside have brought a laser cutting machine, and it is connecting the power supply, and when the laser cutting machine can be started, it will only take ten minutes to break the door of the sixth cabin."

The watertight door of the sixth compartment was entangled by Qi Lin with an iron chain, and if it was to be smashed open, not only would the movement be huge, but it would also require an evolutionary or other tools with sufficient strength, and if a laser cutting machine was used, the metal door made of special alloy would be similar to a piece of tofu under the high-temperature laser.

"Okay, then she'......"

Qi Lin raised the pistol in his hand and aimed it at the girl's head - for a girl who was so tortured, maybe killing her would be a relief for her, even if the chance of resurrection had been lost, it was better than suffering life and death day after day in this dark water prison.

This is probably the only mercy that Qi Lin can give to the other party.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the girl's eyes suddenly showed a hint of horror, and then she began to struggle slightly, ignoring the steel nails that had been driven into her body.

"No...... No...... No...... Kill me...... Save...... Save ......"

Qi Lin's fingers stopped, if the other party was no longer loveless, then he was helping her by shooting her, but if the other party still had a strong sense of survival......

Qi Lin put down the gun, and then sighed: "I'm sorry, I can't save you, I'm still being chased by the people of the mutual aid association." ”

After saying that, he turned around and swam to the bottom of the wellhead, stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the wellhead, and with a slight force, he drilled out of the wellhead.

"Save ...... Help me......"

The girl's faint cry seemed to be still lingering in his ears, and Qi Lin could only calm down and move the cover of the wellhead back to its original place.

Qi Lin boasted that he was probably a chaotic and neutral member of the lineup of the nine-square grid, acting completely according to his mood on weekdays, and maybe sometimes he would save someone because of a little kindness that suddenly emerged from his heart, such as the hunted Song Xiaodie and the abandoned Xiaolei, but that was within Qi Lin's ability, and now, Qi Lin is still unable to protect himself, if he saves such a drag oil bottle, not only will he not be able to save her, but he will also be dragged down by the girl.

"Master, I look at your expression, it seems to be a little ...... Is the expression of guilt in human feelings because the girl was left behind? Cooper asked suddenly, coldly.

"Huh? Guilt, how is that possible? I used to be a mercenary who did things for money, and my hands were covered in blood, so I still left it to those great sages to do this kind of thing. Qi Lin sneered a little self-deprecatingly and began to run in the direction of the seventh cabin.

"Then do you think that the founder of the Mutual Aid Association is a great sage who purifies all sentient beings?"

"Of course......" Qi Lin was about to say that of course he didn't count this answer, but he suddenly got stuck in his throat...... Although in Qi Lin's view, the Mutual Aid Society is a godly organization that wantonly exploits the fanatical beliefs of the ignorant to strengthen itself, and has a dark side to the glamorous and noble appearance, which is simply full of ugliness and sin when revealed......

But imagine what the hundreds of thousands of slum players would be in now living in the Iron City if there were no mutual aid associations.

Wilderness settlements? Cultivating, planting, and hunting some weak mutated creatures? That's fine, I'm afraid, because more people will end up as refugees who gather on the outskirts of the city, begging and scavenging for a living, relying on little by little supplies scavenged from the dangerous abandoned cities of the old era—some people may make a fortune from this, but many more will die for a variety of reasons: mutated creatures, radiation, hunger, cold, disease, and even the killing of the same kind.

And among these hundreds of thousands, a considerable number will become "slaves......

Thinking of this, Qi Lin suddenly fell silent.

"Why are you asking me this? Could it be that as an AI mastermind, you've been studying philosophy and sociology lately? Qi Lin said to Cooper with some confusion as he walked briskly.

"It's nothing, master, just think I'm chatting with you in order to send out the lonely place when I repair the nuclear reactor."

“…… Will AI be lonely too? ”

"If you want, you can simulate hundreds of different human emotions through a huge database."

"Forget it." Qi Lin was a little speechless, chatting with a virtual AI in a virtual game world, thinking about it was absurd enough.

Qi Lin finally walked to the end of the corridor, and then, the scene in front of him made him curse a swear word.

The watertight door to the seventh chamber has been completely welded shut!
