Chapter 297 Mechanical Doll

Thousands of miles beneath the deep sea, a bright light is descending.

Yuzhuo went down against the increasingly thick sea water. A tiny glow emanated from the almost completely transparent barrier. It seemed that the barrier sensed Yuzhuo's arrival. The defense of the barrier weakened and it actually opened its door when they were about to arrive.

Zhou Yan's sparse silver tail rolled up into waves. Seeing this, he frowned and looked at Yu Zhuo behind him hesitantly.

Yu Zhuo nodded at him, then swam to the edge of the barrier first.

This place that created him and infused him with energy for many years, this place where he was first born, sensed Yu Zhuo's approach and automatically opened a gap for him to enter.

Yu Zhuo narrowed his eyes, and without hesitation, he swam straight through the gap and into the barrier.

Zhou Yanshu and Yu Xiangwan followed closely behind. The crack healed slowly, allowing them to find an opportunity to squeeze in within a limited time.

"What's in here?" Yu Xiangwan's face turned purple due to the freezing sea water. After he went in, he turned his head and looked back. The crack in the barrier had completely closed, and there was no trace of it ever being open.

"There is energy that can save your lives." Yu Zhuo said.

Yu Zhuo had been away from here for more than a hundred years. Although it was a long time, it was still insignificant compared to the thousands of years that the main system had been infusing him with energy.

Similarly, the abyss hidden under the protection of this barrier is also constantly being infected by the system energy. As soon as Yu Zhuo entered here, he could already sense the abundant system energy inside.

Using this energy to cure the diseases of the cat family may be effective.

Yu Xiangwan didn't say anything after hearing that. He looked around and saw that although the space here was brighter than outside, it was surrounded by black rocks and cliffs, and there were almost no living creatures.

He frowned secretly and continued to follow Yu Zhuo.

Yu Zhuo held Zhou Yanshu's hand, led him forward for a distance, and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Does your leg hurt?"

Zhou Yanshu was still observing his surroundings. He said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt. What is that place?"

Yu Zhuo looked in the direction of his finger and saw the black stone cliff not far away: "These are the places where I used to climb and play when I was a child. There is nothing special about them."

An unknown emotion flashed across Zhou Yanshu's eyes: "He treats you like this? There's not even a bed here, how can you sleep?"

Yu Zhuo pinched the tip of his nose and said, "When I was a kid, I was very energetic. I played for more than ten hours a day and didn't sleep much."

Zhou Yanshu sneered, turned his head and continued to look around with a cold face.

Everything here looks like a prison. Even worse than a prison, because in a prison there is at least food and daily necessities, but in this dark abyss there is only one person.

Machine... This is Yuzhuo's living environment as a machine.

Zhou Yanshu's jaw muscles moved. He looked at the black stone cliffs, held Yu Zhuo's hand and said nothing more.

Yu Zhuo was still looking for the IV tubes that he had pulled out of his body many years ago. These IV tubes contained the energy of him and the main system. Just a little bit of it would be enough to alleviate the unexplained illness of Yu's parents.

Yu Zhuo was still walking deeper into the abyss. The light outside gradually faded, and the dark fog became thicker the deeper he went.

“Ka——”

Yu Zhuo didn't know what he stepped on, his body froze, and he only heard a crisp cracking sound in the air.

"…What?" Yu Zhuo asked cautiously.

Zhou Yanshu took defensive measures the moment he heard the sound. Yu Xiangwan also walked forward quickly and looked around vigilantly.

"Is there a trap? Don't move yet..."

Zhou Yanshu whispered, but before he had time to finish, he saw Yuzhuo move his feet and squat down, twisting the stepped object with his hands.

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

"Well... it's okay, it's just a piece of mechanical debris." Yu Zhuo put the thing in his palm, pointed at the crack on it and said, "The material is quite good, it's not plastic, and there's bionic skin on it. It's probably used to make humans."

Zhou Yanshu and Yu Xiangwan were both stunned when they heard this: "What?"

Yu Zhuo was just saying it casually, but when he touched the surface of the mechanical fragments with his fingertips, he also vaguely sensed something: "Creating humans..."

Yu Zhuo's eyes changed slightly, and he strode inside. As he walked, the sound of mechanical fragments cracking on the road came one after another.

The road was almost covered with mechanical debris. At first there were only one or two pieces, but later it seemed like there were thousands and tens of thousands of pieces. Yu Zhuo walked on it, listening to the sounds of breaking and smashing, and felt his brain nerves throbbing with pain.

He is a human being, and he is also a system.

And now there is a thick pile of fragments, and what he is stepping on are all system fragments similar to his.

...What exactly happened?

Yu Zhuo frowned, and walked for about ten minutes before entering another relatively empty area. The system fragments finally became scarce, and Yu Zhuo followed the small fragments left on the ground and walked to the edge of the cliff.

There were a few mechanical dolls thrown there.

Yu Zhuo's pupils trembled and he felt his throat was blocked, not knowing what to say.

These mechanical puppets were about the same size as Yu Zhuo. They had already taken human form, with silver or white hair, but their pupils were dull and hollow, their bodies were stiff, and they were thrown naked in a corner.

Yu Zhuo walked forward, his knuckles stiffened, and turned over the puppet closest to him.

There were dense holes all over his back, with traces of mechanical wires being torn.
