Chapter 257: Cultivation
"What do you mean?"
As a member of the Hive Clan, Worker Bee 056 apparently did not understand the meaning of the word "cultivation".
Su Xing explained, "The so-called 'cultivation' is to let you become a person whose individual strength is stronger than that of other hives through cultivation.... All in all, after you cultivate, you will be more powerful than the soldiers of your clan, and more powerful than the drones."
Ahh
056 froze in place, still not seemingly understanding what "practice" meant.
After holding it for a long time, he said, "I.... Forget it, I think it's good to be a worker bee, I don't want to be a soldier bee or a drone."
Su Xing was not in a hurry at this time, so he didn't care: "Whatever you want, in short, if you are not satisfied with just being a worker bee, then just come to me at any time."
056 no longer responded to Su Xing, just sat quietly in place, silent....
…
Next.
Treatment room.
With a burst of screams, 056 finally reached the end of the treatment and staggered out of the treatment room.
After returning to the room, Su Xing said again, "How is a worker bee like you who was sent to the treatment room?"
"Quite a lot."
056 said weakly, "However, most of the worker bees will eventually be cured and return to work in the hive factory."
"What if it can't be cured?" Su Xing asked.
056 said, "If it doesn't work well, it will be sent to the dismantling plant, where it will be dismantled and remade into a new worker bee."
Ahh
Su Xing was puzzled, "Didn't you say before that all the people of the hive clan were born by the queen and the drones? What about the dismantling plant?"
The worker bee said, of course, "The dismantling plant is the dismantling plant.... It's a place where we can take our brains off and replace them with new ones."
Hearing this, Su Xing seemed to have some understanding.
In this way, the hives are not purely carbon-based creatures, but rather special structures that resemble half-machines, half-living organisms.
This structure allows various parts of the Hive's body to be disassembled and replaced.
- This characteristic is not difficult to see from the limbs of 056, which are made of machinery.
Then the question arises.
If 056 will be sent to the dismantling factory, will Su Xing, who is hiding in 056's body, also be discovered by other hives when he disassembles?
Besides, Su Xing has been hiding in 056's body.
What if the so-called "dismantling" can not only affect the consciousness of 056, but also affect the consciousness of Su Xing by the way?
This conjecture gave Su Xing a sense of crisis in his heart.
He continued to ask, "Is there a worker bee who doesn't want to be dismantled, who sneaks out of this hospital.... Like, fleeing outside the hive colony?"
"Yes."
056 said: "Some of the worker bees and soldier bees who were infected with the disease of "freedom" and did not want to enter the dismantling plant ended up sneaking outside.... But according to the drones of the hive tribe, it is very dangerous outside the colony, and none of the worker bees and soldier bees that have escaped will be able to return."
Su Xing said, "Is there a possibility that those worker bees are not unable to come back, but that after they escape, they don't want to come back?"
056 was silent.
He noticed that since another voice appeared in his head, he seemed to have some bold ideas that were different from the others.
He began to learn to think.
For example, think about why you have to work all the time, but drones are born without having to work, and they can see the queen and even have offspring with the queen.
Aren't you all beehives?
Why are some bees born noble?
…
Day 3.
056, who returned to his room, could no longer bear the pain caused by the electricity, and
took the initiative to talk to Su Xing: "That.... God, are you still there?"
Su Xing responded: "What, have you thought about it?"
"Hmm."
056 Win said: "I've been electrocuted for three days, but you've always been there, which means that it should be difficult for me to be cured again, but I don't want to go into the dismantling plant, so I decided to practice with you.... I'm going to be a drone too, and I'm going to stop working in the factory."
"That's good."
Su Xing is also not inked.
He immediately took out the jade slip engraved with "Danding Tuna Method" from the storage bag, and gave it to 056, saying, "You put this jade slip on your forehead and try to see if you can "see" the contents inside."
056 did as he was told.
After a few seconds, he showed an incredulous expression: "This jade Jane.... I put this jade slip on my forehead, and I can actually see the contents of it?"
"It's good to be able to see it."
Su Xing advised, "Next, you just need to cultivate according to the content on the jade slip.... Also, until you finish your practice, you must not tell anyone about your practice, including the attending physician in the treatment room, remember?"
Worker bees like 056 live in a "box" with no entertainment, not even a person to talk to.
With nothing to do, 056 stayed in his room every day to do penance except for treatment in the treatment room.
At the same time, under the guidance of Su Xing, an infant monk, 056 successfully cultivated Qi Sense in just one day.
This also means that he has successfully broken through to the first level of Qi training.
With the spiritual power in his body, 056 was able to silently resist by receiving electric shock treatment in the treatment room, and in this way, he was able to relieve his own pain.
Of course.
Although he didn't feel so painful anymore, under Su Xing's deliberate advice, 056 still looked like he was in pain every time, and he couldn't help but confess to the attending physician, saying that he wanted to return to work in the factory in his dreams.
But I don't know what method the attending physician used.
He seems to have noticed the difference in SCP-056, and will deliberately increase the amount of current each time he is subjected to shock.
After noticing this detail, Su Xing began to discuss with 056 how to deal with it.
Room 056.
Su Xing said: "You have been here for seven days, it stands to reason that worker bees like you, who have treated such a successful work, should have been released back to the factory a long time ago, but the hospital has not released you, I think there must be something wrong with this."
I have practiced the "Danding Tuna Method", and I can clearly feel that 056, which is getting stronger day by day, has long been the only one who looks forward to it.
He immediately asked, "So what are we going to do? Do you want to escape from this factory?"
After these days of observation, Su Xing found that the soldier bees who were responsible for guarding the hive seemed to have weapons similar to firearms in their hands.
- if not a firearm, then definitely some kind of equipment with long-range strike capabilities .... In short, it could never be a cold weapon.
So Su Xing said, "Hard fighting will definitely not work, with your current cultivation, you are far from being the opponent of those soldiers, so we have to think of some other way."
…
At the same time.
Hive Colony 013, treatment room.
The attending physician, Shi Ming, fiddled with the instrument in his hand and said in a respectful tone: "Your Excellency, I am the attending physician of Colony 013, we have a worker bee here, and it only took one day to suddenly increase the combat effectiveness from 5 to 9 points."
As soon as the words fell, an electronic synthesized voice came from the instrument in his hand: "Send me the number of the worker bee in Colony 013, as well as the specific information.... In addition, we must bring people under control of the worker bee as soon as possible, so that other worker bees must not be infected."
