CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 169: THE WEAKNESS OF THE FLESH_2

Just think about it, that scene would make anyone’s blood boil with excitement.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is just wishful thinking, they don’t want to join the 14th Bureau yet.

"Although we don’t have tactical nuclear weapons, we did manage to get these weapons."

Xiao Yuzhu said, pointing to the weapons in front of them.

Actually, looking at the style of these weapons, you can tell that they are equipped for this side.

It seems that, although they couldn’t apply for that massive destructive weapon, they could still apply for these basic thermal weapons.

"Are there many of these instances? If there are, doesn’t it mean that the 14th Bureau can increase its strength through this method?"

Someone asked curiously while loading bullets.

Hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances but did not continue the topic.

Zhou Yingting didn’t want to waste time on this topic either and directly asked, "Can you continue to talk about the intelligence inside the instance? What is the task of your club in the instance?"

"The task inside the instance is to destroy a smart brain in the city center. The main enemy you’re facing, the entry robots, are controlled by it."

"As long as this smart brain is destroyed, the mission is considered complete."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting nodded knowingly, "So, all the indigenous people in this instance were killed by the smart brain, the artificial intelligence rebelled?"

If that’s the case, it seems quite common.

For most people present, this sort of thing is often heard.

The others listened and all turned to Xiao Yuzhu, wanting to know if the artificial intelligence really became the villain, slaughtering the humans in the instance.

According to their thoughts, it should be like this.

But when their gazes fell on Xiao Yuzhu, she shook her head, "No."

No?

That’s quite surprising?

"If not, then why is the mission to destroy the smart brain in the instance, and why did all the indigenous people in that world disappear?"

Everyone was full of perplexity, still thinking it would be more reasonable if the artificial intelligence had turned villainous.

"According to the information we’ve gathered, it was the indigenous people in the instance who used entry power to create entry technology. Although they had entry technology, you’re aware of the drawbacks of entry force."

"To eliminate the drawbacks brought by entry power, they developed something called the smart brain."

"The function of the smart brain is actually to preserve their consciousness; in terms you’re familiar with, it’s ’the flesh is weak, but the machine shall ascend.’"

"They intended to upload their consciousness, using mechanical bodies to offset the side effects of entry power."

Upon finishing, Xiao Yuzhu left Zhou Yingting and others stunned.

In their mutual glances, they saw a hint of shock in each other’s eyes.

The indigenous people inside this instance seemed quite formidable, having thought of this method to counteract entry side effects.

It must be said, this idea is feasible.

If one becomes a robot, they would no longer have to worry about the side effects of life span.

Moreover, becoming a robot is highly advantageous in some instances.

If they’re robots, perhaps they wouldn’t have to worry about being possessed by anomalies?

Zhou Yingting pondered on the benefits of mechanical ascension, while others started contemplating as well.

But quickly, Zhou Yingting noticed something amiss.

"As it stands, this idea is quite good, but why did all the indigenous people inside the instance disappear?"

"Logically, this method is good, combining entry power with the ability to counteract its side effects."

Zhou Yingting’s words were like a bucket of cold water, jolting everyone awake.

Just earlier, they were contemplating trying out this method themselves.

But looking at the outcome of the indigenous people in this instance now, it doesn’t seem promising.

"That’s unknown," Xiao Yuzhu shook her head, "That’s all the information we’ve gathered, the smart brain inside the instance is too powerful, and those entry robots are too fierce, we’re not their match."

"This instance doesn’t provide a completion time, it merely requires the destruction of the smart brain to complete the task."

"Only after completing the task can we leave the instance."

After a few simple words, everyone understood the general situation of the instance they were to enter next.

Afterward, the group fell into silence, starting to familiarize themselves with their guns.

Someone went to the side to start shooting.

After familiarizing himself with the gun for a moment, Zhou Yingting returned to the arsenal, carefully selecting until he was fully armed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Yuzhu gathered everyone, then checked the time, "It’s about time. If you’re ready, we should set off."

"Also, be cautious, don’t get too nervous and accidentally shoot one of our own, thereby failing to kill the enemy and ending up harming ourselves instead."

Xiao Yuzhu steadied herself, beginning her final words of caution.

Upon hearing this, everyone responded, indicating their understanding.

After confirming that everyone had listened clearly, Xiao Yuzhu checked the time, then looked up.

Seeing this, everyone instinctively looked up as well.

The next moment, beams of golden light descended from above, enveloping everyone.

The golden light was so strong that when their eyes met it, they instinctively squinted.

And with just that blink, when everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a completely different place.

In sight was a panorama of dilapidation and ruin.

The factory was originally just somewhat old, but now it was completely different in its state of disrepair.

The dilapidation before them was of a kind that resulted from war.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes sharpened, instantly remaining on guard.

At this moment, a figure appeared not far away, waving to them.

"No need to be tense, we summoned you here, so naturally, we’d choose a safe location."

As he spoke, he got up and walked down, eyeing Zhou Yingting and his group, finally resting his gaze on Xiao Yuzhu.

"You finally brought people in. If you had delayed any longer, you’d be collecting our corpses."

"Collecting corpses? What happened? Is the situation severe?"

She had only learned a bit about the inside of the instance previously with a tool, and she wasn’t very clear about subsequent matters.

They only had one of those tools in their club.

"The entry robots here are very powerful. Since we appeared, they’ve been relentlessly pursuing us, to the point of breaking us down."

"Several people in the club have been severely injured and are no longer combat-capable; the situation is dire."

After finishing, the man waved everyone over, "Alright, this isn’t the place to chat. With so many of us here, it’s easy to get noticed."

After speaking, he turned to lead the way.

"Why didn’t you summon us directly at your base, then we wouldn’t worry about being detected."

Upon hearing this, someone beside him immediately questioned.

The base should be relatively safe.

Walking ahead, the man replied without turning back, "The base is relatively safe, but we’re worried that bringing you in directly might get noticed."

"Many people in the club are seriously injured, having lost combat power. If discovered, a large group of entry robots might besiege us. What do you think would happen dragging injured people along?"

There seems to be some sense in that.

The person who had just voiced doubt thought for a moment after hearing this, and didn’t say more.
