In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

(二九五四 六二三 一三)

The scientific research area was now in chaos, and all the security machines seemed to be going crazy, running around in the scientific research area.

Many drones flew densely in the sky. They were in groups, circling like swarms of flies.

There are dozens of bipedal self-propelled cannons walking on the ground, and there are also several phage-like guard machines mixed among them.

Mo Chen and Rosemary entered a laboratory, which had a very high security level and even used an alloy door.

However, under the continuous attacks from Mo Chen and the maid, the two of them successfully broke open the door and entered the laboratory.

If the laboratory door could talk, it would definitely emit a voice text without repetition.

Sixty seconds is just an upper limit. If sixty seconds more are given, it will be a new upper limit.

Mo Chen's unreliable sixth sense told him that there must be a good treasure inside.

Of course, the exploration thing is put aside for now.

Before the guard machines patrolling outside were discovered, Mo Chen asked the three spirit-planting warriors who retreated first: "Where are you now?"

The Peashooter's reply soon came from the communication channel: "Householder, we are trapped. The location is at the junction of the scientific research area and the manufacturing area. There is a security room here."

"Are you in the security room now?"

Hearing that Lai Yin and the others were trapped, Mo Chen asked anxiously.

"Yes, owner, there are patrolling security machines everywhere outside the security room, and we cannot leave."

Rhine stood in front of the small window of the security room and glanced outside the security room.

Several drones were suspended at the junction of the scientific research area and the manufacturing area, constantly scanning the surrounding situation.

As long as the spirit-planting warriors don't make any noise, these low-level artificial intelligences won't be able to detect them for the time being.

However, staying here is definitely not a long-term solution.

Especially when the young man withdrew his gaze and looked at the solemn-looking Ford and the somewhat ugly-looking Steven beside him, he lowered his voice and replied:

"Householder, Senior Steven is injured."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chen on the other end of the communication nervously asked three questions: "What happened? Is Steven okay? How is the situation now?"

"Senior Steven was shot in the abdomen while trying to cover us during the retreat, but fortunately he was protected by a bulletproof vest, so it was only a minor injury."

Tudou Landmine is bandaging his old partner. Fortunately, the wound is not too deep. Nuts will definitely be able to recover as before by using the spiritual power to repair it.

It's just that the three of them can't leave the security room for the time being. After all, the drones outside are not vegetarians.

"You guys stay where you are and rest for a while. Rosemary and I will rush over to join you."

"Yes, got it."

After confirming that the conditions of the three spirit-planting warriors were okay, Mo Chen and the maid began to explore the laboratory.

The two of them slowed down their pace as much as possible to ensure that they would not attract the guard machines outside.

As a laboratory specializing in the study of more advanced artificial intelligence, it was completely blocked by artificial intelligence that had gone out of control after the catastrophe.

Mo Chen wondered if there was something wrong with the brains of this group of artificial intelligences. With their wisdom, they could definitely continue to research and create more powerful artificial intelligences.

However, after thinking about it, he understood the reason why the laboratory was completely blocked.

Even after these old-era artificial intelligences awaken, they still have a fatal problem.

Because they are created with human templates in mind, they still weigh the pros and cons with human thinking.

If more advanced artificial intelligences are developed, what will be their status?

How could these silicon-based life forms, which claim to be superior to all races in the modern world, accept an artificial intelligence that is more advanced than them?

Mo Chen's eyes naturally passed over those high-end-looking research equipment, and his attention was focused on those research materials.

Although they looked very valuable, each of them was very bulky and not like they could be carried away in Mo Chen's backpack.

It's like having a big table of delicious food in front of you, but you can only look at it but not eat it. It's really painful.

After Mo Chen and Rosemary searched, all the paper materials in the laboratory were packed away by Mo Chen.

"Huh, I've gained a lot from this exploration. I might as well not go to the manufacturing area. It's better to go back to the War Garden as soon as possible."

Patting his stuffed backpack, Mo Chen planned to put it away when he was done. He turned to look at the maid, only to find Rosemary standing in front of a wall, thoughtfully.

Mo Chen put his backpack on his back, walked to the maid and asked curiously: "Rosemary, did you find anything?"

"Owner, there's something...off about this wall."

The maid pointed to the wall in front of her and whispered: "It seems to be empty inside."

"Really? I'll give it a try."

Mo Chen stepped forward, stretched out his hand and put it against the wall, silently activating his spiritual power to explore the situation.

After constantly exercising his spiritual power, Mo Chen also realized more ways to use his spiritual power.

From the "Zhiling Tongjian", we learned that for thousands of years, spiritual power has been continuously developed, and more and more application methods have emerged like a tide.

In addition to the restoration, blessing, protection, shaping, and conduction mentioned before, there are also the following:

Shock, more pure spiritual power can release spiritual pressure, shocking those living beings who are weaker than those who release spiritual pressure.

Exploration, spiritual power continues to extend outward, and it can play a role similar to radar.

Devouring, different types of spiritual power will dissolve each other, but if a more powerful spiritual power is used properly, it can use other spiritual powers for its own use.

And what Mo Chen is using now is exactly the "exploration" method.

The young man continued to release the spiritual power in his body, which rippled like water waves. He really discovered that there was a cave behind this wall.

"There is indeed something, Rosemary, for you."

Mo Chen withdrew the spiritual power used to explore behind the wall, then stepped aside, signaling with his eyes to the maid to open the wall.

The sharp scythe slashed down, and the seemingly indestructible wall collapsed instantly.

Mo Chen entered it and looked carefully, but found no traps.

This is a dark, small secret room made of light-absorbing materials. Only the container in the center of the secret room emits a faint white light.

Mo Chen took a closer look and found a simple silver bracelet lying quietly on the base inside the container.

"This is···"

Mo Chen walked to the container and looked carefully through the glass.

There is no instruction manual, and the young man doesn't know what the bracelet is used for.

But he knew very well that the props that could be placed in this secret room had not been discovered by the out-of-control artificial intelligence outside until now.

This bracelet must be absolutely extraordinary and unique in its own way.

Just when Mo Chen was about to observe the bracelet again, the maid guarding the door of the secret room became alert and had already put on dual-wielding sabers in her hands.

Sure enough, the next second, a security guard machine broke into the laboratory.

It is not advisable to stay here for long and must be retreated immediately.

Mo Chen found the console of the container, and after pressing it randomly, he finally opened the container where the bracelet was stored.

Without any time to think, he picked up the bracelet, put it on, and rushed out of the secret room.

Mo Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. When he looked down, he found a sharp needle piercing the inside of the bracelet and piercing into his body.

"Holy crap, does this thing have thorns?"

Mo Chen tried to take off the bracelet, but found that he couldn't take it off at all. The bracelet seemed to have grown on his hand.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a moment, and Mo Chen no longer paid attention to the weird bracelet. He picked up a baseball bat and hit a beautiful home run, completely destroying a drone that pounced on him.

It's time to join up with the plant spirit warriors and leave this technology factory.
