“Some of us gradually fell into complete alienation and deep-rooted fear, losing the ability to distinguish between what is real and what is artificial, digital, cyber... this kind of thing
People begin to isolate themselves, lose empathy, and experience large mood swings characterized by sadistic tendencies.”
"The scariest part of this, however, is that the vast majority of patients will never be diagnosed."
——Cyberpunk·2077 "The Truth about Cyberpsychosis"
...
If harmony had a color, it would probably be green.
The devil's chain saw easily cut through the fleshy wall, causing huge wounds on the left and right sides of the tunnel. The organic liquid sprayed on the digger's body like plasma, staining the devil's clothes and cloak.
Colored with rich green color.
Then, the numb and tough alien slaves picked up pickaxes, saws and shovels and began digging into the cracks in the wall.
After more than ten minutes of hard work, everyone finally saw rocks and soil again. The heterogeneous flesh wall was about 2 meters thick, and further outside was the geological layer that the underground tunnel should have.
To illustrate with numbers:
For a pipe with a radius of 10 meters, a layer of flesh wall with a thickness of 2 meters is laid on the inner wall of the pipe.
For Li Jiasu, this is a miraculous craft that he has never seen before. In the previous life of Terra Blue Star, when humans built tunnels, they needed to use reinforced concrete, stone and other materials to make supporting structures, that is, the arch rings and sides of the tunnels.
The walls and floors maintain the stability of the tunnel and resist the pressure of the surrounding rock and soil.
The heterogeneous tunnel in front of us has grown a layer of "meat": some kind of stable organic matter, which serves as the inner wall of the tunnel and bears the pressure of the rock and soil mass.
The biotechnology route is a path that the devil has never seen before, and perhaps we can apply what we have learned in the future.
Of course, the painting style of the biotechnology route will probably be more cultish...?
After digging to the edge of the flesh wall, the devil groped for a while and found several metal hoses connected to the large iron door. After thinking for a while, the devil decided to cut off the hoses and see what would happen.
After cutting off those metal hoses, the originally tightly closed metal door seemed to have its veins cut off. The gap between the two pieces of metal that fit together instantly lost its 'adhesion force' and separated easily.
The devil was overjoyed and directed the five Sleif workers to continue to dismantle (cut) the door (meat), and finally successfully removed both the left and right door panels - just like pulling out teeth - and finally stacked them on the team's trolley.
Transported back to the ground smoothly.
A true adventurer is good at discovering the true value of things.
This is the story of "escape", which expresses the adventurous spirit.
Everyone returned to the camp on the surface and brought back the loot: [Iron Gate of the Dungeon (Unknown Metal) x2].
On the one hand, carrying two pieces of metal of such size was not suitable for further exploration of the dungeon. On the other hand, most of the people in the team fell into a state of physiological nausea and had no choice but to return to the surface to rest.
I can't help it, when I demolished the door earlier, the scene was too bloody.
Li Jia Shu reluctantly announced that he would rest until 6 o'clock tomorrow morning before starting his second dungeon exploration.
"I really have no strength left."
"I feel like vomiting when I see green."
"Hey? Brother, you look good. Weren't you scared before?"
"I am an apprentice at a butcher shop in the city. I often follow the master to kill chickens and sheep."
"No wonder, you are the bravest."
Among the five civilian helpers, four looked like vegetables and no longer dared to raise their heads to look at the devil.
The lord's guests, in their hearts, have been upgraded from the 'mysterious Druid Mage' to the 'Druid Mage of Khorne'.
Killing chickens and sheep is one thing, but tearing down the door in an alien's lair is another.
In their eyes, those alien slaves were upgraded from 'the lord's coolies' to 'Khorne soldiers who are not afraid'.
The horrific scene in the corridor did not seem to affect the work efficiency of these alien slaves.
The aristocratic young man sat on the lawn, took out a bottle of peppermint oil from his pocket, put it under his nose and smelled it to relieve his nausea, and watched the devil set up the soup pot, put in white radish, chickpeas, and pickled
Meat and other ingredients...
It's so scary. As expected of a devil, he actually has an appetite.
"I have to say, Axellarite, these slave soldiers you trained are very 'tough', and their psychological quality is stronger than the soldiers I have met in other noble territories." The noble young man stuffed the peppermint oil back into his pocket.
Here, he talked to the devil, "Are you considering selling me a few of them in the future? I'll take them back to my own territory and use them as a private soldier."
The devil took out a few dried kelp knots from the dimensional bag and threw them into the soup pot.
"Not for sale."
"Yes." The noble young man nodded, not surprised by the devil's answer.
After about half an hour, the pot of late lunch was cooked, and everyone had their own thoughts and chatted while eating.
Guard Binxi wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, put down the bowl, and whispered to the noble young man: "Master, my eldest brother and I just checked those two unknown metal door panels..."
"How to say?"
"We brothers don't understand alchemy and blacksmithing, but we know trace identification." Binxi's eldest brother also put down his bowl and took over the conversation, "You should have noticed the hole in the door panel, young master. Monster
The process of melting and breaking holes is done from the back of the door to the outside."
"Well, keep talking."
"But we just checked, and the cross-section of the molten hole showed multi-layered wavy marks..."
"Just tell me the conclusion!"
"...The monster did not succeed in breaking through the door at once. It should have tried dozens of times and corroded for a long time before finally melting out the hole."
"What does this mean?"
"Uh... the threat from the monster may not be high, why don't we scare ourselves?"
The noble young man held his forehead and asked the guard brothers to continue eating and resting, while he told the devil the information he had just obtained.
The devil shrugged and said: "There is really no need to worry too much. The monster might have broken out of the door decades ago and ran into the deep mountains and forests of the island."
Of course, Li Jia Shu is also guessing in a good direction. If we take an extreme assumption, the monsters escaped from the dungeon decades ago, slipped into human villages and towns, lurked, parasitized, disguised, and reproduced...
