I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

The fifth basement level.

The air here is completely different from that on the drill ground above.

There is no sunlight, no wind, and even the dust is filtered out by the constant temperature and humidity system.

It's just cold.

That kind of cold that seeps into your bones, with a metallic, metallic smell.

Chen Xi walked at the front, still holding the chipped enamel mug in his hand. His footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, each step feeling like a blow to the heart.

The hundred soldiers behind him, who had just been enjoying their meal in the mess hall, now looked like livestock being led to the slaughterhouse. No one spoke, and the air was heavy as lead.

At the end of the corridor was a heavy explosion-proof lead door.

The hydraulic system hummed softly, and the gate slid open to both sides.

A ferocious steel monster lay in the center of the experimental hall.

It's too big.

It resembles a giant millstone, or a steel spider ready to devour anyone it chooses.

The massive robotic arm is connected to a capsule-shaped enclosed cabin, surrounded by countless cables and hydraulic pipes as thick as blood vessels.

This is a "millstone".

An industrial centrifuge originally designed to test the pressure resistance of tank armor was forcibly converted by Chen Xi into a manned device.

Su Qingge stood in front of the control panel, her lab coat pristine white, but her face was even whiter than the coat.

She looked at Chen Xi as he walked in, her eyes filled with fear and resistance.

"Chen Xi".

Su Qingge's voice trembled as she rushed to Chen Xi and blocked his way with her arms outstretched.

"You can't do that."

"This machine is designed to withstand 60G; it's for testing solid steel balls, not for holding people!"

Chen Xi stopped and looked at her calmly.

"Get out of the way."

"I won't allow it!"

Su Qingge's emotions collapsed instantly. She pointed at the cold cockpit and tears welled up in her eyes.

Do you know what that means?

"The physiological limit of humans is 9G, and pilots who have undergone professional training can barely withstand 12G when wearing anti-G suits."

"At 20G, internal organs will shift and the retina will detach."

"30G, and all the bones in your body will crumble like biscuits."

"It's reached 50GB..."

Su Qingge choked back tears, her voice as mournful as a cuckoo crying blood.

"What comes out of there won't be a person, not even a corpse, but just a pile of flesh mixed with bone fragments!"

"Chen Xi, are you trying to kill someone?!"

The hall was deathly silent.

As the hundred soldiers stared at the grotesque machine and listened to Su Qingge's description, their Adam's apples bobbed uncontrollably.

Fear is an instinct.

Any living being would be terrified in the face of such absolute death.

Chen Xi remained expressionless.

He simply took a sip of tea, then raised his eyelids to look at Su Qingge, his eyes devoid of warmth.

"Are you done talking?"

Su Qingge was stunned.

Looking into Chen Xi's dark, inky eyes, she suddenly felt a chill she had never felt before.

"Get out of the way once you've finished speaking."

Chen Xi bypassed her and walked straight up to the steel monster.

He reached out and gently stroked the cold metal casing, as if caressing a lover's skin.

"Dr. Su is right."

Chen Xi turned around, leaning against the killing machine, facing the hundred soldiers who had just eaten their fill of meat.

"This machine has no feelings, no compassion."

"Its only task is to rotate."

"Smash every drop of blood, every piece of flesh, and every bone in your body onto this thin layer of iron."

Chen Xi's voice was very soft, yet it sounded exceptionally clear in the vast underground space.

"Inside, you will go blind, you will go deaf, and you will feel your internal organs coming out of your mouth."

"You might even feel as if your soul is being forcibly pulled out of your body."

The wolf stood at the very front of the group.

The warmth of the tomahawk steak still lingered in his stomach; it was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life.

But at this moment, that heat is gradually cooling down.

Are you scared?

Chen Xi suddenly asked.

No one answered.

Only heavy breathing could be heard.

"Being afraid is the right thing to do."

Chen Xi laughed, a cruel and sarcastic laugh.

"After all, you are just mortals."

"Mortals should be afraid of death, and should lie obediently on the ground like a lump of mud."

These words were like a red-hot branding iron, piercing deep into the wolf's heart.

That look again.

That tone again.

That kind of look in your eyes, as if you're trash, as if you're worthless.

The wolf clenched its fists so tightly that its nails dug into its palms.

"Commander."

The wolf took a step forward, its voice hoarse, carrying an extreme amount of suppressed ferocity.

"Don't try to goad me."

"This trick only needs to be done once."

He stared intently at Chen Xi, the fire in his eyes now completely ignited.

"I am not afraid of death."

"I'm just afraid that after I die, you'll still call me a piece of trash who wasted food."

Chen Xi looked at him, her smile deepening.

"it is good."

Chen Xi pulled a stack of documents from his pocket and casually tossed them onto the table next to him.

That was a death warrant.

The highest level of disclaimer.

"Sign it."

"Then roll in."

"remember."

Chen Xi pointed to the coffin-like cabin, his tone chillingly indifferent.

"If you can't hold on, you'll die inside."

"Don't spit it out."

"The floors here are hard to clean, don't get my floor dirty."

The wolf looked at the death warrant.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He strode forward, grabbed a pen, and fiercely signed his name on the white paper.

The force penetrates the paper.

That was a resolute decision to risk one's life.

"Team One!"

The wolf turned around, looked at its brothers behind it, and roared.

"arrive!"

Ninety-nine voices converged into a thunderclap.

"I'll go scout ahead and see what's ahead for you!"

"If I turn into mincemeat, you can dig me out and fill that hole back in!"

After saying that, the wolf suddenly turned around and strode towards the steel cockpit.

His back was as straight as a pine tree.

There was no turning back.

Chen Xi watched that figure's retreating figure, and the fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly.

But he quickly covered it up.

He turned his head and looked at Su Qingge, who had slumped in her chair, covering her mouth and crying silently.

"Dr. Su."

Chen Xi's voice remained cold and hard, but only Li Guobang, who was closest to him, could hear the slight tremor hidden within it.

"power ups."

"Warm-up".

"Send him...on his way."

Su Qingge raised her head, her face streaked with tears, and looked at Chen Xi.

She didn't see cruelty in that man's eyes.

It's something even more terrifying than cruelty... a desperate gamble.

That's the look in a gambler's eyes.

He staked all one hundred of China's strongest backbones on the gambling table.

Just to try and catch a glimpse of that elusive...god.

"madman……"

With trembling hands, Su Qingge turned on the power switch.

"boom--"

A huge current surged in.

The millstone let out a deep roar, as if the gates of hell were slowly opening.
