Lu Ban wasn't sure what the incubator was used for, but a strong hunch told him that he would definitely discover something if he went there.

He glanced at Shuang Xin. This originally calm and composed researcher now had his eyes dazed and he didn't know what to do.

"You go find the singers and inform them of the situation first. I'll go to the incubator to take a look."

Lu Ban said.

"…It's useless now, so let's just leave it at that."

Shuang Xin ignored Lu Ban.

"It's futile to do anything now. Humans have no way of defeating the Zerg. We can only wait here for them to eat us and become part of the Zerg. Maybe it's because of the incomplete people like us that humans haven't completely left here. The so-called home and cradle are all scams."

Her mentality has changed. Although she doesn't want to admit it, Frost Heart is very conflicted.

On the one hand, common sense as a human being and the knowledge gained over the years told her that she was a human being and that she should fight for all those suffering from crystallization disease.

On the other hand, what she saw before her told Shuang Xin that they were the scum of humanity, the burden of humanity, the humans who had not yet evolved and would eventually be eliminated.

Out of human instinct, she refused to call those insects real humans, but everything showed that they were the orthodox humans and she was just a lingering waste.

Originally, it was already very difficult for patients with crystal disease to resist the swarms of insects, and they were difficult to match in terms of combat power. Now, even the last bit of faith that supported them, the cause of saving humanity, no longer existed.

They are the evil ones, they are the ones who should be driven out, they are the ones who need to be eliminated.

Under such an impact, the more resolute a person was before, the more likely he is to lose his mind.

Simply put, Frostheart is a mess.

You can't win by fighting, and you can't escape by running, so you are still the one who is in the wrong.

Why fight? Just be done with it.

Perhaps due to the collapse of his mentality, or perhaps due to the pollution caused by past history, Frost Heart's rationality has been stimulated and may have declined a lot.

The resulting mania, despair, and depression are common symptoms.

Seeing this, Lu Ban knew that he couldn't convince this guy just by talking.

So, he made a prompt decision, and with his right hand, a silver pen [Last Words] materialized and came in front of Frost Heart.

"what are you up to?"

Shuang Xin didn't understand. She couldn't see the pen in Lu Ban's hand. She only saw Lu Ban's hand gently placed on her forehead.

Then he wrote two words.

【calm】.

Frost Heart suddenly felt that the madness and anxiety surrounding her heart disappeared.

Although she still didn't know what to do, at least she didn't have time to think about it.

"You go back to find the singers and the others. I'll go to the incubation room. Do you understand? If you do, blink."

Lu Ban touched Shuang Xin's head, bent down as if he was talking to a kindergarten student, and asked with his eyes level.

Frostheart nodded.

"It seems you didn't understand."

Lu Ban prepared to write again.

"I see!"

Shuangxin shook off Lu Ban's hand and stood up.

She rubbed her eyes and felt weak all over, as if she had just run more than ten kilometers in the desert and was close to collapse.

"Can you walk?"

Lu Ban looked at her still trembling legs.

"no problem."

Frost Heart tried her best to calm herself down and took two deep breaths.

Then he took a step and walked out of the ruins.

Seeing this, Lu Ban did not stop and walked towards the incubation room, while sorting out the current situation.

There are now three forces in the wasteland.

One is the Zerg, which are the new humans transformed from the old humans. These Zerg are huge in number and may have already launched a great expedition to the stars or even to foreign lands. Those that remain on this planet are moving to devour humans suffering from crystal disease.

One is the human beings with crystal disease. They have been lingering on since those disasters. Their civilization has degenerated and they are in danger of facing the shortage of desert supplies and the passage of insect swarms.

Finally, there are robots, which inherit the ideas of the old era and have been watching over humans in the desert.

This was the first time Lu Ban encountered such a situation.

He didn't know how humans should be defined, whether the species that dominated the world should be considered the civilized body of the world.

The principle that Lu Ban follows is very simple. He emphasizes cultural identity. If people can identify with each other's culture, values, goals, ideals and pursuits, then they are companions.

If there is an eight-legged species in a world that supports each other, treats others kindly, is positive, and has a kind attitude towards the world and other creatures, then Lu Ban would not mind being friends with them.

But if a species that looks similar to humans in a world wants to have monkeys with Lu Ban when it sees him, and also tries to eat Lu Ban in various ways, then I'm sorry, this is not a human being.

Obviously, the swarm of insects that once wanted to eat him were no longer companions to Lu Ban.

The main structure of the incubator is located underground.

The above-ground part has been almost destroyed, and the signs of damage here are far more serious than other places, as if it had been swept by a flood or a storm.

Lu Ban walked down the stairs and saw that the downstairs was in a mess, as if it had been eaten by a dog.

Fortunately, the incubator is still intact.

It was a spacious room, round in shape, with off-white walls and floor.

The ground in the middle was bumpy, as if it had been hit by something.

Lu Ban looked around and found that all the equipment here had been completely destroyed, with only a computer in the corner left.

He followed suit and started the computer.

Most of the information inside was unreadable, and Lu Ban only found a few videos.

The name of the video is Experimental Record.

He opened one of the videos.

The pitch-black screen lasted for a few seconds, and then the scene of the incubation room appeared.

In the center, lies a woman.

The woman was in her early twenties, with a pretty face. She had not been injected with anesthesia and lay on the bed with her eyes open, full of anticipation.

The woman's hair had been cut short and she was wearing a helmet on her head with cables connected to it. Next to her was a metal container that looked like a safe.

"The first consciousness upload begins."

A voice said from the side.

Accompanied by some kind of startup sound, Lu Ban saw the light on the helmet light up.

The next moment, the woman's entire body began to twitch, with only the straps holding her in place. Her trembling caused the entire bed to shake slightly, her fingers twisted, and her toes stretched as far as they could, as if she had been electrocuted.

Then, the box next to her opened with a bang.

A twisted, filthy, mud-like monster slowly climbed out of the box.

The monster had many things that looked like eyeballs on its body, scanning the surroundings.

Then, all eyes turned to the girl.

Little by little, the monster climbed onto the twitching girl.
