Chapter 172

The picture is completely gone, and we can no longer see the two children competing. We don’t know if a huge monster has appeared. How are the children going to fight against it?

"Dad, sister, my sister is gone." Shi Tou was watching very intently, but when the picture suddenly disappeared, he anxiously pointed at the place where it had just been displayed.

Lu Daju touched the stone dog head, picked him up and went to find the housekeeper in the yard. Although housekeeper Wen was a little arrogant in front of him, he would come immediately when he was called, and would appear and disappear even if he was not called.

He has been missing for a long time now. Maybe something has tripped him up?

Arriving at the bare garden, I saw Mr. Wen's private vase standing there straight. The modified half of the machine was all gray, and the electric current that should have been shining brightly flashed through the gaps in the machine.

Now that half seemed to be dead, but because it was connected to the machine, the human half that was still awake could not control it and could only blink and tremble its lips slightly but could not make any sound.

"What's wrong?" Lu Daju walked over and saw Butler Wen holding an instrument for testing.

"I don't know. I suddenly checked and the signal in my body couldn't be transmitted."

"Yes, the projector in the room is broken. I can't watch the live broadcast of Zi'an and Yaya's match. It shouldn't be an individual problem." Lu Daju walked around Tongchen a few times, and suddenly remembered something. It seemed that there were no purely mechanical objects in the house except Tongchen.

He looked down at the lively Dot following him, and the starfish lying motionless in his hair without putting on a hairpin. There was nothing wrong with it, so he told Butler Wen about his discovery.

"What should we do then? Is it a problem with energy transmission?"

"There must be something interfering with their operations." He didn't notice it when he wasn't paying attention. Now he probably guessed the reason. Lu Daju quickly felt an additional fluctuation in the virtual sea.

It is very weak, at least it does not pose a threat to them, and it has a great impact on the transmission of mechanical wave signals.

Lu Daju couldn't give any advice on purely mechanical aspects, but he was an expert at using energy to create a cycle.

He put his hand on Tongchen's mechanical shoulder, and just wanted to circulate Tongchen's energy core and change the routine to reinforce the route.

Butler Wen stood by and did not stop him. Uncle Lu was unreliable most of the time, but he never thought there would be any problems with his abilities.

Tongchen's energy core was installed in the mechanical eye socket. The indigo light in his eyes was bright again, spreading from there to the mechanical parts of his body.

After restarting again, Tong Chen felt that the energy flowed more smoothly: "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

"You've been here for a few years now. You should learn how to control the flow of energy in your body and try to refine the metal machinery in your body so that it won't be so fragile and won't be broken by a sudden mistake." Lu Daju made the suggestion sincerely.

Tong Chen smiled bitterly. What he came into contact with here was a system he had never seen in the interstellar space. Materialism and idealism were two completely different concepts. He had tried before but had not made any progress.

If Zi'an was not also an interstellar human, he would have thought that interstellar humans were not suitable for idealistic energy evolution.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I will study these energies that can circulate in the body more seriously."

"What's going on with you guys suddenly being unable to move? The live stream of the exam I'm watching has no signal either."

Tongchen's eyes flickered, and after three seconds he replied, "We're unable to connect to the interstellar network signal. We've switched to the Aquamarine intranet. The latest internal documents indicate that due to the depletion of Aquamarine's resources and the extraterritorial crisis (including but not limited to biological and Zerg crises, magnetic currents in the meteorite belt, magnetic field shifts, extraterritorial gamma rays, etc.), the Star Alliance has decided to abandon the three planetary regions surrounding Aquamarine. The Star Alliance will tighten its internal defenses. Please evacuate according to the required rules on the day the document is issued."

"This internal document hasn't been released to all humans on Gray Blue Star. Those with information should keep it secret for now. Without the resources and connections, it's still on Gray Blue Star. I haven't seen any notifications on Gray Blue Star's external network. This mechanical failure is presumably the result of gamma-ray radiation from an alien domain, weakened by the Void Sea."

Lu Daju didn't listen for a long while before coming to a sudden realization: "This place was abandoned. Then, because of an explosion somewhere, there's no signal connecting to the star field."

"Mr. Lu, you summarized it very well."

"That's not right. I just sent two children away a while ago, and there were still quite a few people in that protective shield. How could they have been evacuated in such a short time?"

"Those with connections and enough star coins will evacuate. Those without connections, who are not well-informed and cannot buy tickets, will remain on this planet." Tong Chen also frowned. How could he not understand the internal situation of the Star Alliance? They had already decided to abandon this area, but he had used some tricks to make the Star Alliance suffer a loss and continue to protect this area. Unfortunately, he was ostracized from within, framed and disappeared.

The Star Alliance once again found an opportunity to completely abandon this area. He was very disappointed with the Star Alliance, or even completely hopeless, and no longer had any good feelings towards them. He was very worried about the people in the city: "All the supplies for this planet are shipped in from outside. Without external support, if the food there is consumed and the energy shield's energy is exhausted, all the remaining humans will die."

Lu Daju added, "For those inside the protective shield, it's absolutely hell on earth until they die."

There is no need to describe it in detail. When people are hungry and have to choose between dying first, themselves or others, the evil of human nature will be maximized. The weak will be forced to be oppressed, and women, children, and the elderly will be the first victims.

In a human society without order, violence and bestiality will gradually awaken.

What would the city look like then? The three of them could guess without even thinking.

The atmosphere was very solemn. The stone in Lu Daju's cup felt a little uneasy. He patted his father's cheek and said, "Dad, what's wrong? The stone is scared."

"It's okay, Shitou, good boy. Daddy will take you flying, okay?"

Speaking of Fei Shitou, he remembered the look of his sister that he had seen before: "Okay, okay, be quick, like your sister."

Lu Daju walked out holding Shitou and said something in a casual manner, which could be considered as comforting: "Let it be. It has nothing to do with us. I will take Shitou out for a walk."

“…”

“…”

Butler Wen and Tong Chen were speechless for a moment. How could they be unrelated? They all lived on this planet.

Is it possible to just watch hell on earth unfold?
