Chapter 500: Mud Monster



The monster quickly controlled the girl's limbs, and then its mud-like body covered the girl. The convulsions quickly turned into contractions, and the girl let out a painful and shrill wail.

At this moment, all emotions turned into pain and gushed out from the throat.

The hoarse voice obviously came from a torn throat. She was muttering incoherent words. Lu Ban knew without even having to understand that it was definitely a curse and regret.

This process lasted ten minutes.

During these ten minutes, the girl remained conscious.

She was eaten up like that, leaving nothing behind.

After the monster ate the other, it shrank quickly and turned into a ball of dough with a rough surface.

Something seemed to be brewing.

This is probably why this place is called the Incubation Room.

Lu Ban looked at the mud-like monster and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.

It was like the tall tower in Kushui Town in the Kingdom of Night transformed into flesh and blood.

Like the cement monster in the culture tank at Nan Hua Private Renji Hospital.

It also looks like a big golden retriever with silt flowers blooming in the sewers of a wasteland.

Puff——

The video suddenly shook, and a sharp, insect-like foot poked out from the muddy monster.

Then, the mud suddenly broke, and countless insects swarmed over the bed, the ground, and the walls.

These insects seemed to be controlled by something, and were looking around for information.

Then, they seemed to have found an exit and gathered towards the safe-like container from which the monster had just crawled out.

It quickly disappeared.

"The experiment is over. It was a success."

The video ends here.

Lu Ban looked at other videos and found that they all contained almost the same content.

In the video, humans callously hand their own kind over to monsters to be devoured, and they leave as insects.

Just like the machines on a pig slaughtering production line, meticulous.

"...A fusion of consciousness?"

Lu Ban thought about it carefully.

He was roughly certain that the mud monsters in his own world, the Kingdom of Night, and the Ruined City were probably of the same kind, but they might be in different stages of evolution.

The Ruined City is the most advanced, it can already completely mimic humans or animals, and has mastered their thinking.

Nan Hua Private Renji Hospital is relatively primitive, but because it is combined with architecture, it has developed the ability to open up different spaces.

As for the Kingdom of Night, Lu Ban felt that this might be the original form of monsters, but considering the legend of Ku Shui Town, perhaps even the monsters there were from foreign lands.

The monsters here in the wasteland seem to be somewhere between the Kingdom of Night and Lu Ban's world.

After this monster devours a human, it will merge with the human's consciousness and obtain the memory and thinking of the devoured person. Therefore, it is normal for it to be able to present the human's own consciousness.

Lu Ban even thought of a terrible possibility.

Is it possible that consciousness uploading, which was discovered by people in the old days, is just wishful thinking?

It's not that they successfully uploaded human consciousness into these monsters and controlled them, but that these monsters pretended to be controlled by human consciousness, thereby deceiving the desperate humans.

Whether it's consciousness uploading, human transformation, or the bridge, it's all a conspiracy.

Lu Ban even wondered whether the disasters and seeds of madness at the beginning of this world were planted by the chosen ones from foreign lands?

For the advanced technology of the old humans in the wasteland, a simple monster attack might not be effective. Only by combining all these means and allowing those humans to gradually obtain the answers we have today, can this place be completely destroyed.

Even though they suffered such persecution, those suffering from crystallization disease still continued their civilization for hundreds of years in this barren land. If when the disaster occurred, people were not overwhelmed by madness and despair, but worked together to find a way out, perhaps the wasteland would become a world that is dilapidated but still full of vitality.

Those supreme and great beings, the old rulers, naturally disdain to get involved in these things, but there are still many civilizations in foreign lands that are expansionist and aggressive in nature, like the Fog City, Dusk City, and areas like the Deep Sea that have already launched several foreign wars.

It's like one day you see several nests of ants fighting downstairs, and since you don't know any of them, you just let them fight. If you're in a bad mood one day, just pour a bucket of water on them, and everyone's done for.

If some ants spell out your name, you might find it amazing and observe them carefully, or even catch a few ants to see. However, if you don't use the right amount of force, you might crush the ants to death.

But after looking at these ants, you still can't see any problem, so you lose interest. By the next day, you can no longer tell which group of ants spelled out your name. You step over and may step on some, but it doesn't matter.

Lu Ban left the incubation room, not knowing what the consequences would be if he told Shuang Xin and the others about these things.

He came to the edge of the ruins. The three natives of the wasteland were a little dazed, staring at the industrial park in silence.

As night fell, the four returned to the future city.

At the entrance of the ecological park, the robot girl was waiting for their return.

"…Is that so? The power cannot be restored."

Lin felt a little depressed after hearing Lu Ban and the others’ description of the conditions in the industrial park.

Of course, Lu Ban did not tell these robots the truth about the destruction of the world.

"But it doesn't matter. In one day it will be the end of the year. This year we will light a bonfire to welcome the arrival of the new year. Humans have a saying, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. As long as the new year arrives, there will definitely be a way to solve it."

The robot girl smiled as warmly as the sun.

"Um."

Frost Heart nodded, looking haggard and weak.

After dinner, Lu Ban went outside to the windy and sandy wasteland. He saw Shuang Xin also looking up at the stars.

"We need to compile everything we saw here and report back. Although we didn't find the insect swarm this time, we got more valuable information."

Shuang Xin saw Lu Ban and said.

"What are you going to do with these robots?"

Lu Ban asked.

At this time, Lin was still telling stories to the singer and Shanshan in the ecological park. Those were stories that had been circulated in the old world for thousands of years and originated from the original beautiful imagination of mankind.

"I don't know. Even if we can bring them back, the lack of energy will still make them unable to move, and..."

Frostheart was a little hesitant.

Bringing Lin and other robots back to the city-state was undoubtedly telling them that the world they were familiar with had been destroyed. This was a bit too cold for Frost Heart.

When humans in the old era chose alienation, these man-made robots retained human hearts.

Frostheart couldn't just view it as a tool.

Lu Ban did have a solution.

He can actually let a robot like Lin enter the [Weird Amusement Park], become a part of the weirdness, and bring it back to his own world.

However, if this were to happen, Lin would be completely polluted and become something weird.

Lu Ban didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for robots.

He is still thinking.

"We will go to the industrial park tomorrow to look for any more information about the Zerg. Since humans once controlled the Zerg, there must be a way to seal it off."

Frost Heart said again.

"I have figured it out. Even if we are discarded defective products, we still have the right to survive."

“This is why we are still here.”
