Chapter 262: Staying Up Late
Hive Colony No. 013.
Inside the worker bee dormitory.
056 placed a pitch-black pill furnace in front of him, and put countless medicinal materials into it, and asked suspiciously: "My lord, can you really practice pills like this?" ”
"Try it." Su Xing said uncertainly: "I haven't opened the furnace for alchemy for a long time, and whether this alchemy furnace can still be used is two words." ”
As Su Xing spoke, he took out a 'spiritual fire talisman' from the storage bag and sent it to 056.
Under the effect of the talisman, a blue-purple flame appeared on the surface of the Nadan furnace for no reason, and even the temperature of the entire room rose.
After a while.
When the heat of the furnace faded, 056 opened the lid and saw that there were four round balls of flesh with blood red and the size of pigeon's eggs.
"Is this a success?"
056 looked at the meat ball in the furnace and said, "This elixir.... How does it look different from the ones I used to eat? Could it be that it is because the medicinal materials of the hive clan are different from the medicinal materials in the hometown of the gods? ”
This....
After all, the queen bee is different from the birthday star, and the hive family's inventory cannot be everything.
In desperation, Su Xing chose plants with similar medicinal properties to replace some rare medicinal materials that were difficult to obtain.
So, by mistake, he refined this 'life pill'.
This made Su Xing unable to figure it out:
In Su Xing's opinion, the reason why he was able to refine the life pill before, in addition to a small number of luck factors, was also very likely to be related to the unspeakable creature 'longevity'.
But Queen Bee obviously does not have such a creature as 'Shou'.
Therefore, when the formula is completely different and there is no 'longevity', he shouldn't refine this 'longevity medicine'.
Could it be that the key to refining the life pill is not the formula, but something related to him?
Thinking of the kind of flesh and blood monster that mortals transformed after taking the life pill, Su Xing said loudly: "This.... This is a failed product that has not been successfully refined, since it has not been able to refine the Qi Cultivation Period Pill, then I think it is better to leave this matter at that, let's continue to study and research, how can we blend into the Hive Clan's Council Hall! ”
With that, Su Xing used a trace of 'emotional power' and quickly took the life pill back into his storage bag.
Since 056 didn't know anything about the way of alchemy, he didn't suspect Su Xing's strange behavior.
He asked, "But Lord Spirit, with my current strength, it's still a little difficult to enter the council, right?" ”
056 has only just broken through to the third layer of Qi training, and it is indeed a little too difficult for him to infiltrate the council hall.
Even if there is Su Xing to help.
Thinking of this, Su Xing said: "This time I will go out in person, you just need to take me to the vicinity of the council hall, and leave the rest to me." ”
Hearing this, 056 exclaimed, "My lord, you want to do it yourself?" So, you can come directly into this world? ”
"Nonsense."
Su Xing said speechlessly: "I'm not something you imagined out of thin air, of course I can show my true body, but because of some kind of restriction, I can't show up for too long, so I can only go to the council hall to take a look or two, and you have to stay outside the council hall to answer me..."
…
Night.
Hive Colony No. 013.
Entrance to the Hive Council Hall.
In the recent past, Sisu, who is in charge of managing the entry and exit of the council office, has discovered a secret that is not known to the Hive people.
It may be that as a drone, his intelligence is higher than that of ordinary hives....
Si Su found that his mind seemed to be 'reset' every night.
This 'reset' is not to empty his memory or consciousness, but only to have some subtle effects on him.
For example, Si Su sometimes complains that her life is too boring.
Or, he is not satisfied with the current situation, and is even more dissatisfied with the work assigned to him by the Council of Representatives.
He even had the idea of sneaking out of the settlement to see the outside world.
Although these 'negative thoughts' often appear, as soon as Si Su falls asleep, by the next day, all thoughts will disappear.
Because of this, Si Su began to suspect that the reason why his thinking changed at night may have something to do with 'sleeping'.
In order to test this speculation, Si Su plans to stay up late tonight....
…
At the same time.
Underneath the exterior wall of the Council Hall.
By the moonlight, 056 squatted in a hidden corner and whispered: "Lord Spirit, I feel that this position is already the limit.... If you continue to move forward, you will most likely be spotted by the soldier bees. ”
"Alright, here it is."
In the dark.
Su Xing looked at the soldier bees guarding the high wall and said strangely: "By the way, don't these soldier bees have to sleep at night?" I don't think you hives have the habit of staying up late, do you? ”
"No, I don't seem to be quite accurate when I use the word habit." Su Xing thought for a while, and then changed his words: "I've also seen a few worker bees around you who try to sleep late, but there has never been a single worker bee that can stay up past three o'clock in the morning at night without sleeping." ”
"That's true."
Below the high wall.
056 whispered: "All the worker bees and soldier bees of the hive clan almost always fall asleep before three o'clock in the morning at night, even if they don't sleep.... Only soldier bees, like those who stand guard at night, can guarantee that they do not sleep at night. ”
"Still."
056 continued: "The soldier bees who stand guard at night will also fall asleep 100% after three o'clock in the afternoon during the day. ”
Su Xing was puzzled: "But can't you stay up through three o'clock at night?" Could it be because of my relationship? Or is it because you're infected with that 'freedom'? ”
In fact, so far, Su Xing is still uncertain whether the disease of 'freedom' in the mouth of the hive people exists.
If 'freedom' is really a disease, how does it spread and how does it come to be?
And where does it come from?
Virus?
Or are they fungi, bacteria, spores?
Why are the hives who don't even have hospitals so afraid of this disease? There is even a special treatment facility for this disease.
While Su Xing was thinking, 056 interrupted his thoughts: "I really don't know whether I was infected with 'freedom' or not, but in my opinion, I became different from other worker bees because I met the gods. ”
In the dark.
After a brief observation, the movement patterns of the soldiers and bees on the high wall, and the monitoring blind spots of each outpost, Su Xing planned to act.
Before leaving, he told 056: "After I show up later, you must not move around, otherwise I will be at risk of being injured if I come for too long." ”
"Okay."
Hearing 056's response, Su Xing stopped inking.
He used the "Blood Sacrifice Dafa" to reveal its true body, and then used the ability of 'transformation', and after the whole person became translucent, he decisively disappeared into the high wall.
