There was silence in the monitoring room, with only the light on the screen flickering.
Zhao Xiaohai looked at his monstrous brother in disbelief.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiaojun got up from the ground and punched the surveillance screen hard.
Crackling!
Sparks flew and the screen shattered.
The next moment, the mysterious man appeared on another screen like a ghost.
Zhao Xiaojun turned around, grabbed his brother's thin shoulders, and shook his head at him fiercely.
No one wants their loved ones to turn into monsters.
"Brother, I can't leave you..." Zhao Xiaohai cried, and the two brothers hugged each other tightly.
The mysterious man on the screen seemed very proud, as if he was enjoying a game of human nature. The pain and despair of others could make him feel happy.
I didn't say anything, but that doesn't mean I was indifferent.
My brain was working at a rapid speed as I pondered over every word the mysterious man had said, looking for loopholes in them.
The black switch releases poison gas, killing all living things in the factory within one minute.
This is a choice in which both sides will perish.
Although we will die too, everything that the mysterious man has worked so hard to build will no longer exist, and he doesn't want to see this.
He used ten million to lure us to press the green button. Obviously, releasing the Gu Mother would only benefit him and not harm him.
I thought silently, and my thoughts gradually became clearer.
"They are all Gu Mu's children...stay and become like him..."
After thinking it over and over again, I finally understood the mysterious man's evil plan.
Even if we don't eat the black slime, when the mother Gu is released, there is a way for us to become like the workers.
We have also become animals working for him, which is of course the situation he would like to see most.
Two buttons, one green and one black, stood quietly on the console.
Either become a monster or die together.
No matter which choice you make, it seems to be a dead end.
wrong!
The task given in the live broadcast room is: destroy or save all monsters.
Since the option of rescue can be given, it means there must be a way to save them.
There must be something I haven't thought of.
The Gu mother is the key to controlling the workers. What if it dies?
At this time, the chaotic sounds in the small dark room gradually subsided, and heavy footsteps were heard .
Are those monsters awake?
I walked out and opened the door. The monsters lowered their heads and walked towards the workshop mechanically and woodenly.
The first thing I did after regaining consciousness was to go back to work!
Did they never think of rebelling? It seemed that obedience to work was ingrained in their bones.
In other words, they haven't really regained their sanity...
Perhaps, death is a relief for them?
With mixed feelings, I returned to the monitoring room, stood at the entrance of the passage, turned on the flashlight on my cell phone, and looked inside.
There are some small holes evenly distributed on the top of the channel, perhaps they are the outlets for releasing poison gas.
Even if I choose to release poison gas to kill all the monsters, there is no way to escape unscathed. The poison gas will take effect within a minute, and who knows how long this passage is?
In fact, there is another way to complete the task.
On the condition of taking Zhao Xiaohai away, we persuaded Zhao Xiaojun to press the black switch after we left to release poison gas and kill all the monsters.
Destruction, or redemption?
At this moment, I suddenly understood the true meaning of this mission, and the hairs on my body stood up.
Both methods have the potential to complete the task, the key lies in my choice.
"Have you thought it through? Time won't wait for you forever." The mysterious man on the screen spoke again, "Whoever presses the green button first will get 10 million!"
Zhao Xiaojun pushed his brother out of the monitoring room and shook his head vigorously at him.
"Brother, I can't abandon you. I can work after I finish college . Our good days have just begun..."
Zhao Xiaohai cried and shouted, his voice already hoarse.
We can't continue to be in this stalemate, we have to cut the Gordian knot.
It was at this time that I made an extremely risky decision.
Without any more hesitation, I quickly walked over to my brother who was in a stalemate and closed the door of the monitoring room.
"Xiao Hai, Xiao Jun, I have a dangerous idea." I said to them in a low voice with a serious expression.
"What?"
They both turned to look at me and I whispered my thoughts.
"Brother Yunfeng, I am not afraid of danger. As long as I can save my brother, I am willing to do anything!" Zhao Xiaohai said without any hesitation.
Zhao Xiaojun also nodded desperately.
"Okay! Time is running out, let's get started!"
I calmed down, walked to the surveillance window and took a look. All the monsters had returned to the workshop.
I walked to the control panel and pressed the red switch to close the door to the workshop, then took a deep breath and pressed the green switch.
If you want to kill the Gu mother, you must release it.
If we fail, we become monsters.
Destruction and redemption.
What is destroyed is not only life, but also humanity.
If I choose to use Zhao Xiaojun, then what's the difference between me and the mysterious man in the surveillance video?
Redemption means hope, but it also carries huge risks.
Wang Cuzi said that I had a narrow escape from death this time, I hope that redemption is the glimmer of hope!
Boom!
The sound of iron bars opening was heard.
Standing at the collapsed door of the small dark room, I covered my face with a cloth, tightly grasped the weapon in my hand, and my whole body was tense.
In the darkness, a slippery crawling sound was heard, and a giant snail revealed its strange outline.
Gu mother!
The pair of black eyes on its tentacles flashed with excitement. It noticed me at the first moment and crawled towards me with its heavy body.
The long neck stretched out from the broken door frame, and when the tentacles of the Gu mother were almost touching me, I immediately moved and walked towards the management office.
The Gu mother's neck turned as I did, and the huge hard shell squeezed out of the door frame with force, causing a splash of gravel, and crawled closely after me.
Being in such close contact with this strange and huge monster, my heart was beating fast and cold sweat kept dripping from my forehead.
The Gu mother moves very slowly, leaving a sticky wet mark wherever it crawls.
I moved my feet little by little, luring the Gu mother closer to the management office.
The black eyes on its tentacles were staring at me intently. I accidentally made eye contact with it and couldn't look away for a moment.
There seemed to be a whirlpool in the black eyes, spinning around and around, infinitely magnifying towards me.
I felt dizzy and weak all over, as if I had fallen into an endless whirlpool.
“Meow——”
A sharp cat cry sounded, and I suddenly felt my shoulders relax and I came to my senses.
Wangcai jumped high and grabbed the tentacles of the mother Gu with one claw.
The mother Gu's eyes shrank back instantly, and Wangcai's claws only left a few claw marks on its tentacles.
Transparent mucus oozed from the wound, which kept wriggling and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The eyes on the tentacles looked at me again.
Can't look it in the eye!
