Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 594: 462 exploded again?

```

"Understood, my lord." Bai E nodded and left politely.

```

Were they the ones the children truly trusted? Or was it just soone who had once heard his na from the children's lips and was now using it as a pretext to get closer?

When Bai E first made contact with Weslin, he was present as well, but back then, the other party did not show the slightest hint of friendliness upon hearing his na.

It was only after learning more information that they showed this "kindness."

Was this kindness genuine or rely out of self-interest?

Bai E had no interest in further interaction; the promise Helen had made to him was far more significant.

It was ti to visit his production pod!

While walking towards the underground production hall, there was a barely perceptible breeze.

Helen was very efficient in handling matters; she had arranged the necessary greetings well in advance. Upon seeing Bai E, a skinny, dark elder who was in charge of supervising the underground production hall gestured him forward, "Admiral Bai E, please co in!"

Entering the underground production hall required passing through multiple checkpoints, each heavily guarded. The thick steel walls were of a reliable quality; even intense heavy artillery fire would likely fail to breach it quickly.

Moreover, the mont Bai E stepped into the hall, he felt a brief stagnation in his Spiritual Energy.

Its activity also greatly diminished.

Not only did the intelligences that inherited technology from the Golden Age have asures against spiritual energy users, but humans themselves had their own ans of defending against spiritual energy users.

Only after passing through several barriers did Bai E arrive in the area where the underground production line was actually located.

The lofty hall seed endless, and rows of production pods like single beds were neatly arranged within it.

From underground, nurous tubes extended up and connected to the head casings of the pods.

A pale green glow emanated from the transparent lids of the pods. Nearing one, Bai E looked through the greenish light to see the dormant individuals inside.

These were artificially created humans nearing completion, their naked bodies subrged in what appeared to be a green solution, their eyes closed, serene and tranquil.

Where the soul originated from was unknown to anyone.

But those artificial humans who had been out of the pods for only a short ti seed to soon possess their own thoughts.

Even Bai E, who had once personally experienced the process, found it quite miraculous.

However, at the mont, Bai E had no ti to ponder these ultimate cosmic mysteries.

Looking at the production pod in front of him, Bai E's gaze fixated on a line of tiny letters that only he could see—

[Artificial Human Production Pod (Neutral)—Use "Lucky Strike" to destroy and loot: Guaranteed（Integrated Control Chip*50, Research Experience 1000 points）; High Probability（Technology: Artificial Human Intelligent Production Line）; Possible（Knowledge: Genetic Modification）]

The possible loot wasn't much and seed straightforward.

But what it provided was precisely what he needed at the mont.

All these things were the foundation upon which the city stood; while he might not be an expert, having control over them at least gave him the capital to say "no" to the city's power structure in the future.

Not to ntion, with all this technology and knowledge, the force he would develop could eventually have the credentials to stand against the city.

Looking around, he noticed that there wasn't a single person watching this area.

It seed that Helen's orders had been effective, and everyone was quite at ease with his arrival, allowing him to move about and inspect as he pleased.

Moreover, his "Heavenly Eye" Spiritual Energy, though suppressed and functioning at low efficiency, enveloped the space around him at all tis.

Even actions observed by caras from outside the range could be perceived by his Spiritual Energy.

Unless there were special caras with spiritual energy detection capability, whether he was under surveillance was crystal clear to Bai E.

At the mont, of course, there were none.

Still, looking down at the nearly-completed dormant human body in the pod in front of him, Bai E hesitated for a mont before walking away.

With so many production pods available, there was no need to destroy one that was about to give birth to a "newborn."

After moving a certain distance from the first pod, Bai E set his sights on another, where the green solution in the pod was almost empty.

You're the one!

"Crash!"

To make his actions a bit more credible, Bai E purposely moved very close, as if drawn by the machine and wanting to observe it up close.

"Snap!"

The mont the pod exploded, the green solution splattered all over Bai E's face.

Sticky and a bit sweet...

[Loot acquired: Integrated Control Chip*50, Research Experience 1000 points, Technology: Artificial Human Intelligent Production Line, Knowledge: Genetic Modification.]

Got them all!

Wiping the thick liquid off his face, Bai E turned to see a large group of white coats and the ard soldiers following them, quickly approaching the explosion.

Bai E stood still, arms hanging by his side, trying to appear as harmless as possible.

"..."

The person in charge of the underground production pods looked at the machinery debris scattered on the ground and the green solution splattered even onto the walls of the neighboring pod. The first look in his small eyes was anger, but upon resting on Bai E, it quickly turned into helplessness.
