Chapter 3398: The Fall of Kunlun Capital (59) - The Use of Tool People

Click——!

The tight feeling around his neck suddenly loosened... Exhausted Lu Cheng woke up subconsciously and sat up abruptly. He saw that the door lock of the cell was slowly turning and opening.

Lu Cheng's pupils shrank, he reached out to touch the collar around his neck and took it off easily.

"This is……"

He was not surprised at first, but rather confused... Being captured and forced to do hard labor in the fortress was only a few days, but it felt like a century - there were too many unknown methods here.

Lu Cheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally began to approach the door of the cell. He carefully opened the iron door a little bit... Then he took a deep breath and walked out tentatively.

The lights in the corridors were as bright as day, and the cells were neatly arranged.

At this moment, the doors of the cells on both sides were slowly opening, and figures who had suffered oppression and torture staggered out... They were just like Lu Cheng, with fear on their faces, but more of confusion.

More and more male laborers walked out of the cells, and the corridors were soon filled with people... The air was filled with the smell of fermented sweat, but it remained silent.

"Should we go back?"

In the quiet corridor where only the sound of breathing could be heard, a trembling voice suddenly came.

Then there was another long silence.

“Let’s do it! Let’s fight!”

boom--! ! !

A loud noise was heard, causing the corridor to shake a few times... The sound came from the next level. Lu Cheng shuddered instantly. He thought of one thing, which was that it was very likely that the problem was not only in the cell where he was!

With the rapid sound of the alarm, it was obvious that the fortress had discovered that an accident had occurred in the cell area.

"Escape!"

……

The mechanical jailers came in a hurry, and the prison doors of each country were opened, allowing the imprisoned monks to have a carnival of freedom... Under the flashing red warning lights, the lights of energy guns continued to light up.

The mechanical jailers would kill the escaped miners without any hesitation - but after the collars of these monks were taken off, they were not as easy to deal with as before.

Even though they were still wearing shackles and their spiritual powers were suppressed... most of them had even lost their cultivation due to long-term labor - but there were so many of them.

What's more, there was someone named Loulan who was quietly hiding among the crowd... After the chaos, Loulan immediately used the energy pistol in her hand to knock off the shackles on her body. She had only been captured for a few days, and her cultivation level recovered instantly after the confinement was lifted.

For a Loulan who had recovered his cultivation, tearing the mechanical jailer apart with bare hands was no more difficult than tearing a piece of white paper... But Chen Lanzhi had no way to recover. After more than two years of imprisonment, she had already become a disabled person. Even if the shackles were removed at this time, her physical strength was at best two or three times higher than that of an ordinary person.

"Take this and wait for your opportunity."

Loulan directly threw the energy pistol in his hand to Chen Lanzhi.

"My lord, you?"

"There's something strange about this place, and its origin is unknown." Lou Lan said without thinking, "You mix in with these captives and create as much chaos as possible to protect me."

Chen Lanzhi knew what this adult wanted to do... She wanted to take this opportunity to find information about the fortress.

"My subordinate understands!"

Chen Lanzhi was not too pretentious. As a member of the secret service, she was supposed to do this kind of high-risk work... She had even been held captive for more than two years. Her familiarity with the lower level area of ​​the fortress and the cell area was far beyond what Loulan, who had only been there for a few days, could do. She was more suitable for this kind of work.

"Lord be careful!"

After saying that, Chen Lanzhi jumped directly into the crowd of people who had escaped... In addition to gathering intelligence, the secret spy was also professional in incitement!

At this time, Loulan also turned into a black shadow and disappeared secretly.

……

Loulan used a secret method to sneak around, but it didn't last long. She soon felt a sense of powerlessness... She stopped with a frown.

Although his cultivation had been restored, the spiritual energy in this fortress was so thin that it was almost outrageous - it was as if it had been emptied out, a spiritual energy vacuum zone.

She couldn't interact with the spiritual energy that was supposed to exist nowhere. If she relied on herself alone, she would run out of energy sooner or later if she used more of her ultimate skills - as for the storage items, they had been searched away when she was captured.

Along the way, in addition to the mechanical jailers, Loulan also saw a number of mechanical bodies of different appearances... they were more well-equipped fortress mechanical guards.

In addition to these two types, there must be something with even more terrifying force in this fortress… At that time, Lu Cheng’s spirit boat was directly suppressed by the terrifying vitality.

"Is this... the mark of the Pingtian Group?"

Loulan saw the spray paint on many mechanical guards and couldn't help but frowned... subconsciously recalling the information about the [Pingtian] Group.

The secret spy gathers intelligence from all over the world, which can be regarded as another kind of intelligence supplement to the [Ninth Prison].

Since the whole world is covered, there will naturally be no shortage of intelligence information about companies like the Pingtian Group, which has entered thousands of households with various small items and convenient machines.

Many cultivators from large families and even holy places sneered at the Pingtian Group, feeling that it was taking an unorthodox path and was not worthy of being in the upper class. Instead of seeking its own development, it focused on the way of machinery... This had a lot of overlap with the puppetry of Yunzhongliao.

However, the weapon-refining and puppetry techniques of Yunzhongliao had already reached the pinnacle, so they cared even less about the Pingtian Group - at most, they regarded it as a cheap substitute, and only the poor monks in the lower continent who could not afford the noble puppets would choose it.

But Loulan was very clear about how terrifying the size of the Pingtian Group was... He couldn't see the small commodities clearly, but he didn't expect that the Pingtian Group had already made the entire Alliance's food, clothing, housing and transportation inseparable from its manufacturing.

Perhaps only the major [holy places] that are independent and have great sovereignty can maintain it.

……

If the fortress was built by the Pingtian Group, Loulan only felt that she smelled a huge conspiracy - this behemoth appeared silently in the Sea of ​​​​Sky. The means used by the Pingtian Group behind the scenes are enough to move people.

"It seems that I haven't paid enough attention to the Pingtian Group..."

She used secret techniques to sneak around, and soon broke through several levels of blockades, successfully entering the middle area of ​​the fortress - compared to the riots in the lower area at this time, the middle area was still calm.

In the living area simulated at night, it was dark and unusually quiet...only from time to time could one see groups of mechanical guards moving out, seemingly heading towards the lower area, but they were quite low-key when moving, trying not to make too much noise.

Everything here was extremely unfamiliar to Loulan. When she walked into the middle area, she was more like a blind fly - she didn't know where she should go.

Tick…tick-tick——!

A small piece of gravel rolled to Loulan's feet... She narrowed her eyes instantly, and saw a black shadow floating in the shadow of an alley not far away.

She actually let someone get close to her without her noticing... No, not a person, but the most common mechanical bodies in the fortress - they have no breath of life, and when they are motionless, they are like dead objects, and cannot be detected at all?

Loulan didn't have time to think before she saw clearly that the mechanical body hidden in the shadow was actually a mechanical jailer. She was stunned and had a familiar feeling. It seemed to be the "traitor" who had helped her time and time again!

When Loulan flashed over, the opponent was also moving quickly.

"Would you like to take me somewhere..."

Loulan hesitated for a moment, then decided to follow... thinking that he wanted to find out who was behind this "traitor", which might be a major breakthrough in obtaining intelligence about the fortress.

Soon, under the other party's deliberate guidance, Loulan came to a building...which looked like a hotel.

She stopped in the corridor of one of the floors. The mechanical jailer did not move again, but stood quietly in front of the door of a house, waiting.

The door was open, only a crack.

"Let me in?" Loulan asked in a deep voice.

The mechanical jailer [traitor] did not respond... Loulan frowned, waved her hand lightly, and the door was blown open instantly - she simply released her divine consciousness.

Because of the special material of the fortress, the range that can be explored by divine consciousness is extremely limited, but everything in this room is still captured in the mind.

She didn't sense any danger...no restrictions or anything like that.

It’s just that the mechanical methods that Fortress is good at using cannot be distinguished by ordinary divine thoughts... Loulan pondered for a moment, quietly pinched a few seals with his fingers, and after adding a few defenses to himself, he walked into the room carefully.

She didn't say anything, but looked around the room again... There were some snacks, beer and other things in the small living room, and the mattress in the small room was messy, as if the person who lived here had left not long ago?

"nobody?"

Loulan became more and more confused, but saw a silver metal box on the table suddenly opened with a click.

Lou Lan sneered and walked closer to the box. "It seems like you don't plan to contact me in person. You're such a cautious guy."

The box probably contains some information left by the "traitor".

Loulan was still very careful. He flicked his finger and blew the box open. The moment the box was completely opened, something suddenly popped out!

Loulan instinctively took a step back, raised his hands, and released a magical shield to block his side - but what popped out of the box was nothing more than a mischievous puppet with a mocking face attached to a spring.

"..." Lou Lan took a deep breath, "Heh...so boring!"

The mocking puppet opened its mouth and spit out a rolled-up piece of paper... Loulan rolled her eyes and reached out to pull the paper out.

At this moment, the silver box suddenly turned into a big serrated mouth, biting Loulan's palm tightly like a trap!

Loulan was shocked and angry, but she never expected that all the power sockets in the room suddenly turned on, and wires were directly wrapped around her whole body. At the same time, the exhaust fan on the ceiling sprayed out a large amount of yellow-green mist!

The floor...the floor was pried open and hit directly on her legs.

Loulan was furious, her whole body full of spiritual energy was surging, but unexpectedly, an extremely terrifying force of thunder and lightning came from her body... Loulan screamed and inhaled the mist at the same time. Not long after, she, one of the four hidden dragon secret spies of the Netherworld, fainted.

Lou Lan fell on the low floor, his body twitching unconsciously from the electric shock... and the originally messy room returned to its original state in an instant.

Not long after, the door of the next room opened, and Miss Nan TWO and Miss Xiangxiang walked out one after another.

……

Miss Xiangxiang didn't know what was happening outside. It was Miss Nan who took her to the next room. She just heard some noises coming from outside... mixed with a scream.

Soon, the two arrived in front of Loulan.

"She... died?"

"It's impossible to electrocute a monk to death so easily." Xie Nan shook his head.

Miss Xiangxiang frowned and said, "The voltage in this kind of room shouldn't be high."

Ah Nan chuckled, "Do you know that just now, 30% of the power supply of the entire middle area was used up?"

Xiangxiang opened her mouth in surprise - there are not only living areas in the middle-level area, but also many production areas. Which ones are the big electricity consumers, accounting for 30% of the electricity in the entire middle-level area?

"Can home electrical wires withstand such high voltage?" Miss Xiangxiang expressed her doubts and felt that Miss Nan was telling a ghost story.

But Xunan ignored her and started to take off Loulan's clothes.

Miss Xiangxiang opened her mouth, but finally chose to remain silent, and even turned her back, "What are you going to do?"

"You and I will go to the upper area later. If Li Jianyi has another brain attack, someone has to deal with it, right?"

"?"

When Miss Xiangxiang turned around, the woman who was electrocuted on the ground had turned into Miss Nan! How... did she do that in just a short while?

"...You are really insidious." Miss Xiangxiang sighed subconsciously, as if she had gotten to know the other person all over again. "She was led here by you. Is she an acquaintance of yours?"

"It's just a finger-to-finger relationship." An Nan shrugged indifferently.

Xiangxiang felt that she didn't understand, but she didn't say anything... Loulan was still wearing the clothes of a hard-labor miner in the lower area, so she must have run away from the lower area.

The employees of the fortress were actually quite indifferent to the captured monks - this was mainly because they were taught in their daily studies that the monks outside were a species that only knew how to plunder but never gave any feedback to nature.

"Okay, let's go."

Xunan threw Loulan directly back onto the big bed in the room, clapped his hands and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Is that all?" Xiang Xiang pondered, "You don't have to tie her up or something?"

"That's all." Xunan said casually.

"...How are you going to get through?" Xiang Xiang frowned again. "There are many mechanical guards outside, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere."

Ah Nan chuckled and snapped his fingers, and then saw two mechanical guards walking in from outside - these guards were no different from the ones Xiang Xiang usually saw.

But the next moment, Xiangxiang's eyes widened.

I saw that the two mechanical guards began to open, and in the blink of an eye they turned into something like an external colonial armored body... Xunan walked into one of them with her back turned, and as the armor closed again... She was already inside, and from the outside, there was no difference at all!

"Come on, what are you standing there for?"

Miss Xiangxiang looked at the mechanical guard hiding Miss Nan with a strange look, and suddenly said: "Miss Nan...you are really the biggest enemy of the fortress!"

Xunan controlled the guards to spread their hands... In fact, every mechanical noble on the technological side had said similar words with gritted teeth.

——Is it my fault?

……

……

The sudden loss of 30% of the electricity in the middle area was already a huge event.

In the upper area, Li Jianyi quickly received a report from the central authority - however, under the central authority's surveillance, there was nothing abnormal in the middle area, and the streets were so quiet that not even a cockroach could be found.

"Why don't I believe it?" Li Jianyi chuckled and slowly stood up. "Arrange for me to enter the middle level area... It seems that I need to meet that lady in person again."

It's actually pretty easy to spot the problem - the fortress has always been good, but since a certain scumbag woman came here, there have been more weird things.

As for the riots in the lower area, Li Jianyi didn't take it seriously at all. The fortress had enough military force to suppress the riots - the information that riots might occur when capturing monks for labor had already been taken into consideration.

It's just a bit of a hassle - a waste of time, for example.

……

It didn't take much time. While observing the suppression operations in the lower area and hurrying on his way, Li Jianyi soon appeared in front of the door of a room... and saw Miss Nan lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread.

Li Jianyi suddenly came forward, only a finger's distance from Miss Nan's cheek, "Hmm... I don't see anything unusual. This method of forgery is really amazing..."

"Isn't she real?" The projection of the bunny-eared girl appeared next to Li Jianyi at this time... It was also scanning through the eyes of the mechanical guard who came in coordination.

But in the central scan, this is a living body.

"It's time to wake up." The Central Lady said suddenly.

Li Jianyi remained unmoved.

Miss Nan suddenly opened her eyes. The moment she woke up, Loulan saw a sloppy man with glasses and a gloomy look in front of her, as well as several mechanical guards... and even a woman with slightly glowing rabbit ears... a demon?

——You are the [traitor]?!

Loulan's eyes narrowed, and she felt extremely humiliated - but soon, she found that she was unable to say the words that she should have questioned!

She couldn't make a sound!

Her body seemed to be covered by a layer of partition... She felt like she was wrapped in a membrane!

"Are you awake?" Li Jianyi observed Miss Nan's expression. "You seem to be very surprised... Did that woman keep you here? Did she have something to tell me... Or did she think she could hold me back like this?"

That woman?

Which woman?

Loulan is now numb...
