Chapter 239 Exploration

"Don't rush. If one batch doesn't work, send down another. We'll figure out what's going on down there eventually."

Artificial Intelligence: Prisoner didn't care at all.

Just then, a blurry figure climbed up.

A prison guard shouted in surprise, "A prisoner is coming up!"

Angel immediately moved over to take a look. Su Mo also became interested, curious to see who would be the first to climb up.

Before long, the figure struggled to climb up and lay down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Warden Fazak and the wave-conducting sphere controlled by Artificial Intelligence: Prisoner surrounded him.

"What's the situation down there!"

Fazak asked directly.

"Down there is too, too terrifying."

The figure held up a camera, saying with extreme fear.

As soon as Su Mo heard the voice, he was stunned. The first one to climb up was actually Longke.

This guy was something. He usually kept a low profile, but his survival skills were so strong. It seemed he had really underestimated him.

Artificial Intelligence: Prisoner controlled the wave-conducting sphere, extending a mechanical arm to grab the camera and start reading the film inside.

To be honest, Su Mo was also very curious and wanted to join in the fun and take a look.

But he restrained himself, deciding it was better not to join in.

Just then, another prison guard shouted, "Someone else is coming up."

Su Mo looked down into the sinkhole and could see prisoners scrambling to climb up, each looking as if they had seen a ghost.

After the prisoners climbed up, Angel and the others stepped forward to grab them and ask about the situation.

One trembling prisoner said to Angel.

"There's a giant platform down there, circular in shape. Around the platform flows a dark red, viscous liquid. The liquid constantly bubbles, and if you don't climb carefully, you'll fall in. Those who fall in are immediately submerged. The most terrifying thing is that those who are submerged climb out again after a short time, turning into a humanoid monster, with the exoskeleton armor they were wearing fused into their bodies."

Angel frowned and continued, "What else?"

"There's also an entrance on the platform, seemingly leading deep inside. I didn't dare to go in."

The prisoner replied, shivering.

"Waste!"

Angel cursed.

Then Angel went to question the other prisoners who had come up.

Over the next few hours, about fifty prisoners climbed up.

The remaining prisoners who didn't climb up were basically dead, as the timer on the clockwork bombs had expired.

The survival rate was simply too low.

Before long, Artificial Intelligence: Prisoner had read all the photos and shared the information with all the senior officers.

Angel also carefully examined them.

Su Mo asked curiously.

"How is it? Did anyone enter the passage and bring back any information?"

"Yes, there are a large number of synthetic beasts in the passage, as well as some mutated monsters, and the pollution radiation levels are even more severe."

Angel said to Su Mo, also sharing the images with him.

A synthetic monster appeared, with a human head, a leopard's body, a Bai Ze's tail, spider's tentacles, and deep red polluted bloodstains all over its body.

Su Mo felt his scalp tingling and took a deep breath.

"Damn, what kind of experiments were they doing in this lab before?"

"We only know they were forbidden experiments. We don't know the specifics."

Angel replied, frowning.

Just then, Warden Fazak waved his hand and summoned all the prison officers.

Angel and the others drove their mechas over.

Fazak said in a deep voice, "You've seen the situation, you should understand it."

"Understood. The situation is worse than we thought. Relying on these prisoners for reconnaissance probably won't do much good. This is probably the limit, after all, we can't provide them with mechas or other weapon support."

The prison officers present said with headaches.

"Each of you select a team of elite subordinates and pilot mechas to investigate."

Fazak took a deep breath. If he could, he really wouldn't want to send his own people. After all, he didn't care about the lives of prisoners, but his own subordinates were different. But now there was no better way.

"Understood."

Angel and the others responded.

Soon, ten Night Watch mechas stood neatly in front of Angel.

Angel said to them in a deep voice, "If possible, I wouldn't want to send you down to explore. But now the situation is clear. Relying on those prisoners is useless. Your reconnaissance target this time is that passage. Go as deep as possible. If things are impossible, if you encounter extreme danger, don't think too much, retreat immediately."

"Understood!"

Everyone responded.

"Go!"

Angel didn't say anything more.

Soon, forty elite officers piloted Night Watch mechas and jumped into the sinkhole.

The mechas quickly disappeared into the mist.

Angel looked at his subordinates jumping down, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Su Mo asked Angel in confusion, "What exactly is buried deep in this ruin that makes you so desperate? It can't just be a bunch of research data, right? If it's that stuff, it's better not to dig it up. Digging it up is just asking for trouble."

"Don't ask, and don't want to know, because we don't know either. Have you ever heard the saying, 'The more you know, the faster you die'?"

Angel took a deep breath and replied.

"Okay!"

Su Mo nodded. It seemed impossible to get any more information.

Several hours passed, and apart from the occasional strange noise, the entire sinkhole was eerily quiet, with not a single figure returning.

Fazak became increasingly annoyed at the sight.

Artificial Intelligence: Prisoner floated in front of Fazak and said, "According to my calculations, since they haven't come up for so long, they are most likely dead. Send some more soldiers down."

"My subordinates are not prisoners."

Fazak replied angrily.

"I know, but developing the ruins is the highest priority plan, even if it means sacrificing more people."

After Artificial Intelligence: Prisoner finished speaking, it ignored Fazak and issued orders to all the soldiers and officers.

"Volunteers for reconnaissance, 50 people. Current registration progress 0/50. Registration time 20 minutes. If the quota is not met by the deadline, selection will be made at random."

"This..."

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

......

Angel and the others couldn't help but curse when they saw this.

"Damn it! Forced conscription."

"What do we do? Can we refuse?"

Su Mo was slightly stunned, his expression also becoming a little grave. This Artificial Intelligence: Prisoner was really awesome. It was not only ruthless to the prisoners, but also merciless to its own people, actually playing this trick.

"No, refusing is violating the rules. If it really comes to it, I'll go down myself."

Angel was also going all out.

Seeing that Angel was going to go down, Su Mo coughed, symbolically saying, "Why don't I go down with you? I'm quite good at exploration. Consider it a return for your care during this time."
