Since The Red Moon Appeared - Chapter 780:
Chapter 780: The mining mode of the Tinder (1)
He had been discovered, and it seemed like he had been discovered long ago.
Lu Xin and Xia Chong could not help but feel a little awkward.
Xia Chong could have opened the door next to her and left, but when she saw the way the designer from hell was looking at them politely, she felt that if she ran away now, she would lose face.
After a slight hesitation, he made a decision.
He pretended to be calm and nodded at the other party, but instead, he walked forward.
First, he had already been discovered. What was the point of escaping?
On the other hand, her mother said that there was something she was looking for here, but she had not seen what it was yet …
After making this decision, Lu Xin walked in front while summer worm followed behind. They slowly walked behind the glass wall.
As they walked into the spacious control room surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass walls, their field of view suddenly widened.
They glanced curiously at the people in the control room, then subconsciously looked outside the glass wall.
It was just a glance, but Xia Chong’s face instantly tensed up.
Even Lu Xin looked around at once, completely entranced by the sight.
It was not until they entered the control room that they could see their surroundings clearly.
They were standing on a protruding platform.
The front, left, and right sides of the platform were all made of transparent glass walls.
Outside, there was a huge, deep pit whose head could not be seen.
In the deep pit was a tree.
To be more precise, it was a tree of machinery that was assembled from countless sophisticated machine parts.
Around the mechanical tree, there were countless pale human bodies kneeling.
Lu Xin was not mistaken, it was a human body.
There were old and weak, men and women, and they were not wearing any clothes.
He knelt in front of the machine tree in the center of the pit.
If one looked carefully, they would find that everyone’s head was lowered, as if they were in deep sleep. There were two tubes connected to their bodies. One was connected to their oral cavity, while the other was connected to the electronic helmets they were wearing.
Looking down from the room they were in, they couldn’t see how many people there were.
It could only be said that his field of vision was instantly filled with pale human bodies.
The field of view from the control room was only a small part of the field.
“Hello, we finally meet.”
Just as Lu Xin and Xia Chong’s attention was drawn to the scene outside the glass wall, someone laughed.
There were four people in the room surrounded by glass walls.
One of them was a man in a white Chinese tunic suit. He sat on the black sofa, looking elegant and charming.
The other few were people in black cloaks, standing quietly in the corners of the room.
The man in a white Chinese tunic suit had a polite smile on his face, and there were nice crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes.
Summer bug was still attracted by the scary ‘human trap’ outside the glass wall and almost did not hear what Lu Xin said. After a moment of silence, Lu Xin’s neck turned slightly stiff, and his eyes seemed to have lost focus as he looked at Xia Chong.
The man in the White tunic suit was also looking at Lu Xin, sizing him up.
It was as if he was trying to determine if Lu Xin had the same thoughts as him.
After a long while, he smiled and said, ” I’ve been paying attention to you ever since you came to the pyro city. I didn’t expect to only see you now. If it’s possible, I’d like to ask where you’re from and what are you doing here at the pyro city? ”
Even though his mind was occupied by the scene outside the glass wall, Lu Xin still answered out of courtesy.
“Originally, it was just to get together with old friends.”
“Eh?”
The other party seemed to be a little surprised, but then he smiled and said, ”
it’s normal to get together with old friends. Do we still need to break into the internal transportation network of the Tinder by force? ”
there’s no need to arrange for people to pretend to be members of the cult and sneak into Pyro city as spies, right? ”
as for the killing of a black box emissary in a single encounter and the infiltration of the Tinder military base to disperse our armed forces, that’s even more impressive, ” he said. Since we can see each other in the underground workshop of the pyro building, which is the most heavily guarded place, it should be enough to prove that you’re not just here to join the party, right?”
Lu Xin was slightly confused by his words.
It was as if the things he was talking about were all very familiar things that had happened not long ago.
But why did he bring this up?
It clearly had nothing to do with her …
“Friend, it’s better to be Frank when meeting smart people.”
The designer from hell smiled and waved his hand. although it looks like you’re hostile to the Tinder, and the Tinder won’t let anyone who has seen its secrets leave, I think we should show each other enough respect even if we’re opponents.
for example, admit your identity and try to communicate with each other? ”
“Respect …”
Lu Xin did not understand anything else but this sentence.
I’m serious, “he said seriously. you don’t have much respect for me.
The designer of hell was obviously stunned and asked, “”Oh?”
Lu Xin furrowed his brows and looked at him, ” as for a traveler who’s on the road alone, he’s obediently following your rules and going to the agent to pay the toll fee and approve the bill. In the end, he asks for three … Five thousand Yuan. If you don’t agree, you’ll have to detain the person’s car. The person wants to go back on his word, but your people don’t agree. Can such rules and style be considered respect?”
“What?”
The hell designer looked a little confused. He frowned and thought about it seriously, but he was still a little confused.
“Are you trying to imply something?”
He thought for a long time before he asked tentatively, ” travelers who travel alone, you mean those souls? ”
you want to go back on your word but don’t agree. Does this mean that the ritual can’t be turned back? ”
“Hmph!”
Lu Xin glared at him coldly and did not elaborate further.
I’ve said it so clearly, but he’s talking nonsense with me?
The atmosphere between the two of them had dropped to a freezing point, and it was obvious that they could not continue the conversation.
“What’s that?”
At this moment, summer bug suddenly took a deep breath and turned around.
There was still no expression on her small face, but the faintly tense lines on her face made her look unusually serious.
“What are you guys doing?”
what is the 100 million spiritual bodies you mentioned just now? ”
“What’s the purpose of the hell you’re building?”
She stared at the designer from hell and said, “”Tell us all of this!”
Lu Xin glanced at her and thought, “Was he planning to directly execute Plan B?
When the hell designer heard Xia Chong’s question, he turned to look at her with a slight frown. He then turned to Lu Xin and asked, ”
“Who is this weapon rack?”
“Crack …”
Summer bug gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to eat someone.
Lu Xin’s expression quickly turned serious as he glared at the hell designer. “Be more polite.”
“Alright, alright …”
The hell designer raised his hand and answered repeatedly. At the same time, he frowned slightly and looked at summer bug up and down, as if he wanted to judge which force she came from by her professional equipment. After a few looks, he shook his head and said, ”
that’s the factory for the Tinder.
since you’re well-prepared and can even come in directly, you should know what kind of company the pyro company is.
Lu Xin and Xia Chong did not answer.
The pyro company’s full name was also a familiar one. It was called the pyro mining company.
It was said that the Tinder had the most advanced mining equipment and technology in the past. From the twelve high-wall cities of the Alliance in the North to the church of technology in the South, and even the resources of the surrounding human settlements, nearly half of them came from the Tinder. It was also because of this huge amount of resources and the huge power that rolled out like a snowball of wealth that the Tinder had become the scale it was today in a short time.
the pyro company is a professional mining company.
The man in the White tunic suit chuckled. in the beginning, they were collecting oil and minerals. However, a long time ago, they had already begun to study and experiment to mine the most precious resources in the world after the red Moon incident.
“The spirit of a human.”
As he spoke, he turned around slightly and looked out of the glass wall at the countless pale human bodies surrounding the mechanical tree. He sighed softly and said, ” what you’re seeing is only one of the few large operation bases that the Tinder has built in recent years. If we calculate it in order of magnitude, the mental power produced by each base every day is quite a considerable magnitude …
“You guys …”
Listening to his calm and rational voice, Xia Chong’s teeth were grinding together.
you guys are actually treating people as resources? ”
“People are resources, aren’t they?”
The designer from hell smiled and said, ” in the past, the pyro company used to treat people as employees and make them sell their sweat and blood. They overdrew their lives. But now, they’re using them as resources to continuously produce mental power. Isn’t it essentially the same? ”
“In terms of efficiency, this is a more advanced design.”
of course, I can understand your anger at the first moment, but you don’t have to be angry at me.
I’m just a designer. This isn’t my decision.
He described the human body and the layout of the pit to Lu Xin in. casual and proud tone, like an engineer explaining to an outsider the assembly line they were so proud of. However. Lu Xin and Xia Chong. who were listening to him, gradually revealed a strange expression. The muscles on their faces tensed up slightly, and their bodies undulated unnaturally …
It was because a scalp-numbing feeling was growing in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Xin finally understood why his mother had asked him to come here.
At this moment, he only had one feeling.
And that was fear!
