Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 8 Suicide Prison Break

"How do you plan to escape?" Xie Shen looked at Li Xiu carefully, as if he wanted to find out what the other party relied on.

Li Xiu raised his lips and said with a fake smile: "Don't think too much. I'm just an ordinary person. If you insist on saying that there is something special about me, it's probably that my brain is smarter than ordinary people!"

"It's you."

Li Xiu asked curiously, "Why can't you feel pain? Is it natural, or did you use some special method?"

Seeing Xie Shen's tangled expression, he quickly added: "Don't worry, no matter what you say to me, the management of the 'Tower' can't hear it. Or, even if the management of the 'Tower' can hear what we say, they can't respond."

"What do you mean?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard that.

Li Xiu asked back, "Have you heard of those fake people in the 'Tower' prison?"

"I've heard of it, what's the matter?" Xie Shen asked.

Li Xiu pointed out the key point: "The biggest difference between pseudo-humans and humans is that they do not have the characteristic of 'emotions'."

"Besides that, no matter what they do, they can only do it according to pre-set rules and regulations, just like robots."

Seeing that Xie Shen still looked puzzled, Li Xiu said, "Give me an example."

"If a fake person happened to pass by outside our room and happened to hear us talking, or even heard us planning to escape, he still couldn't do anything to us because the rules and regulations in the 'Tower' don't specify what to do in such a situation."

"I see." Xie Shen said with enlightenment, "Then if that's the case, then aren't those pseudo-humans in the 'Tower' just a group of machines? They can't even be considered artificial intelligence. After all, artificial intelligence sometimes knows how to adapt."

"That's not the case." Li Xiu shook his head and said, "They are real humans, or in other words, they are real creatures."

"In the past, many people also thought that pseudo-humans were robots who only did things according to the set programs."

"But then someone accidentally caught a pseudo-human and dissected it."

"Then that person discovered that the pseudo-human's body structure is exactly the same as that of humans. The biological similarity is 99.9%. The only difference between the pseudo-human and humans is their brains."

"What's the difference?" Xie Shen asked.

"How should I know that?" Li Xiu said speechlessly, "I don't specialize in this. The human brain is very complicated."

in the room.

Xie Shen chatted with Li Xiu for a long time about the matter of "fake people".

During this time, he also knocked from time to time, trying to find out how Li Xiu planned to escape from the "Tower" prison.

But Li Xiu obviously didn't trust Xie Shen 100%, so he was unwilling to reveal the key.

Xie Shen could also use torture to force the other party to speak.

After all, he is the torturer in this reincarnation, and Li Xiu is the tortured.

But everyone lies.

If Li Xiu made up a flawless lie, Xie Shen would not only not gain any benefit, but would also miss the chance to escape due to torture.

Considering this, Xie Shen was no longer in a hurry.

After all, there is still a long way to go.

He and Li Xiu were in the same room, so he would be the first to know about any movement of the other party.

...

time flies.

Almost a year has passed since Xie Shen and Li Xiu became cellmates.

In this reincarnation, although Xie Shen was the one responsible for torture, he never took the initiative to torture Li Xiu.

This is not because he is a saint.

The main thing is that if Xie Shen wants to complete the task, he must torture Li Xiuda for more than 15 hours a day. This is even more exhausting than working 996.

Therefore, Xie Shen would rather be electrocuted by the mechanical arm so that the value on the electronic display screen will rise to [70%] than spend time torturing Li Xiu every day.

He couldn't feel any pain anyway.

Although it was unintentional, Li Xiu was extremely grateful for it.

So after spending a whole year together, he finally trusted Xie Shen completely and told him his plan truthfully.

"Have you ever heard of a space station?"

in the room.

Li Xiu asked Xie Shen.

"Space station?" The latter showed a puzzled expression: "Is it the kind of manned spacecraft flying in outer space?"

"Ah."

Li Xiu said: "But the space station I'm talking about is much larger than you think. There are many people who escaped from the 'Tower' prison on it."

Xie Shen understood what Li Xiu meant: "So you want to escape to the space station?"

"Yeah." Li Xiu responded.

"How did he escape?" Xie Shen guessed according to Li Xiu's words: "Commit suicide and then resurrect?"

"clever!"

Li Xiu's eyes showed admiration again.

He looked at Xie Shen and said, "After all, let alone we are all imprisoned in the Tower Prison. Even if we were not imprisoned here, we would not be able to go to outer space."

"So the simplest and most direct way to escape from prison is to commit suicide and then wait for the people in the space station to revive us."

"So it's not so much that we are escaping from prison, but rather that the space station is trying to snatch people from the Tower prison."

"I understand what you mean." Xie Shen frowned and said, "But the problem is: the electronic synthesized sound in the 'Tower' prison will revive us the moment we die, and the people in the space station don't know when we will die."

"If we assign someone to recite our names and our dates of birth 24 hours a day, it is possible to revive us."

"but"

“The cost of doing so is just too high.”

Xie Shen pointed out the crux of the matter: "After all, there are far more than just the two of us on the entire planet. The number of humans throughout history, totaling hundreds of billions, right?"

"Well, you are absolutely right." Li Xiu followed up, "The 'Resurrection Factory' in the space station cannot take care of everyone perfectly, so we can only take the method of constantly rotating and trying our luck to revive people."

"Be more specific."

"The space station will arrange a small number of people to try to resurrect the dead starting from 1900 hours and 1 minutes on January 1, 00 AD, in the order of the Hundred Family Names. It is basically the same as the exhaustive method used in the 'Tower' prison."

"Then when the space station happens to read your name, and you happen to die in the 'Tower' prison at that moment, you will have a chance to be resurrected in the space station."

"But the probability is very small."

"Every time you die, there is a chance of about one in hundreds of thousands of you being able to be resurrected in the space station."

"Because the probability is so small, people with bad luck may be imprisoned in the Tower for thousands of years and may not even be able to go to the space station once."

Is this so?
After hearing what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen immediately understood why Deng Bin had never mentioned anything about the space station.

Because that guy has never been there.
