This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1272 - 566: You Have Lost Connection

It can be said that every magnetic disk on the table next to these cabins represents a being that once entered these Sleep Pods.

As for where the physical bodies of these beings went...

[...As you continue your observation, you notice that each sleep pod is connected to a pipe, and numerous pipes extend through the walls surrounding the factory ceiling, intertwining and finally merging into a larger pipe, stretching towards the end of the factory...]

[You follow the direction of the pipes...]

[In the deepest part of the factory, you see a huge spherical device, surrounded by octopus-like protrusions, and beneath the device, is a row of water pipe-like outlets, each connected to a test tube-shaped transparent glass instrument.]

[And a nearby display shows a line of gloomy text: Vaccine Zone — Current Stock: 0 Doses.]

"Zero doses..."

Mu You sighed helplessly.

The main reason he insisted on coming here was because this was the most likely ’Vaccine’ production site he could think of, if he could find a dose of the Vaccine here, he would be able to move in and out of Eden freely in the future, without any restrictions.

It turned out he was right; this was indeed the source of Vaccine production.

However, the stock of the vaccine was zero, which means, by now, all the vaccines produced had been used up...

["Liars... the Watchers, have been deceiving us from the start..." Chun Li, clutching her head, spoke in pain, unable to believe what was before her.]

Mu You sighed again. From the current situation, it appears that the beings in Eden are just ’chickens and ducks’ being farmed by robots, carefully raised until they mature, then gathered in sufficient numbers and ’slaughtered’ to be converted into resources needed.

But in some sense, the robots didn’t deceive them, these beings entering the dormancy areas did indeed enjoy a permanently peaceful and carefree life in the ’programmed world’ woven for them by the robots.

Unfortunately, it was not their physical bodies enjoying this beautiful life, but merely the copies of their consciousness.

Regarding the issue of whether the consciousness copy of an individual still counts as the person himself after his death, if the robots had to answer, they would certainly consider it so. In the robotic worldview, core data is the foundation of everything, and everything outside the core is a component that can be replaced at any moment.

So, for robots, as long as the core data remains, even if the body dies, loading the consciousness into another mechanical body can achieve a perfect ’resurrection’.

However, for living beings, this question is more complex—both consciousness and body are a part of a person. Whether a clone of a person can replace the original after his death involves serious ethical issues. Most beings instinctively think of that clone as another separate being.

Mu You was pondering this when suddenly an alarm popped up in the game.

[You faintly hear footsteps coming from outside...]

[Turning your head, you see a large number of mechanical figures flickering in and out of view from the factory windows, all moving rapidly.]

[Seconds later, two teams of twenty Battle Robots appear at the factory entrance, rushing in and surrounding you.]

This number was clearly aimed at them from the start.

Mu You found it strange, with the shielding of the Chameleon Mask, he had stealthily made his way here without being detected, so how could he suddenly be discovered now? Could the robots’ scouting capabilities have suddenly increased...

Mu You couldn’t figure it out, but since he had already been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore, having seen all the information he wanted to see, staying here was pointless.

Next, he was preparing to fight his way out, take Chun Li to a safe place, and then leave directly.

[All the robots maintain their formation and advance towards you...]

[Under the cold light of the factory ceiling, your right arm’s mechanical cannon fires first.]

[The roar of the Blast explodes among the robot crowd, twenty Mechas quickly scatter and charge towards you from all directions...]

[Amidst the rolling dust, the Green Bee Sting transforms into a green light and shoots out, precisely hitting the brake system of the leading jumping robot, the uncontrollable robot convulses, its movements deformed in mid-air, and you kick it away with a flying kick...]

[However, the other robots take this opportunity to swarm up...]

[You have equipped the ’Combat Circuit’, engaging in close combat with many robots...]

What Mu You didn’t know was that just as he had instantly killed the first robot.

In a distant control room of the robots, the main brain’s voice rang out again.

"Detected residual original weapon, invader danger level upgraded to: Highly Dangerous! Current extermination mission success rate: 0.7%, immediate reinforcements arranged."

"Current idle Watchers total 3727, all activating combat programs, heading to Dormancy Cabin No.5 for support..."

...

[...The blue shadows, like Reaper’s Blade, flit up and down through the factory, piercing through robot after robot, causing them to lose their ability to act...]

[...The remaining robots continue their fearless attacks on you, with dense gunfire suppressing you...]

[...Silver Angel’s Wings unfold, protecting your body, as you weave through the barrage of bullets, continuously reaping the surrounding Mechas, all the Blasts and stray bullets are blocked by the pristine wings, not causing you even a scratch...]
