Devouring People! The Sky Dome Trembled!

Buzz.

Ma Fei deliberately prolonged the last word, making it sound extremely unnatural.

From his hesitant tone, one could tell that he didn't have much confidence in what choice Su Mo, this person from the future, would make.

He wasn't even sure if Su Mo would answer the questions.

"This is interesting. Does this mean the choice has been handed back to me?"

"It seems that my previous actions and all my expressions triggered the mechanism left by Ma Fei, and it actually started interacting with me."

Glancing at the camera flashing red light in the corner, Su Mo smiled and stepped forward to the small monitor.

I'm not afraid of you playing real, violent Q&A games.

I'm afraid you're just making things mysterious and acting like a ghost.

Su Mo greatly admired Ma Fei's manners, and at the same time, he felt no resistance whatsoever.

There were no specific questions on the screen in front of them, only a simple multiple-choice question.

Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?

Yes or no!

After a pause, Su Mo gently pressed the "yes" button, and the screen went black. At the same time, Ma Fei's voice rang out again.

"Very good, you've made your choice."

"It seems you're also a radical activist, which is a bit unexpected. I'm really curious to see what outcome you'll achieve this time."

"To be honest, since your compatibility score is a good 91 points according to the evaluation rules I set, I will now give you three questions."

The UI of the simple analytics screen is poorly designed and is clearly the work of an amateur.

However, the screen does show all of Su Mo's behavior after entering the first floor, from the most basic standing posture to the changes in his body when faced with various options, as well as the most important major choices.

Aside from getting a low score 13 seconds after entering this area, Su Mo undoubtedly scored almost full marks on all other points.

In total, the score is as high as 91 points! Just nine more points are needed to get the permission to go to the third floor in the upper right corner and obtain the secret left behind by Ma Fei.

"Each question has a reward of three points. If you answer the first question correctly, you can take anything here without paying any price."

"Answer two questions correctly, and you can take two items."

"In return, if you answer three questions correctly, you can take everything with you and gain access to the third floor."

"Are you ready!"

Three questions, three points each, for a total of nine points.

After scanning the area and finding no passage or iron gate leading to the third floor, Su Mo nodded and selected "yes" again.

If the rewards on the second floor are this terrifying, then by that logic, there should be even more of Ma Fei's treasures on the third floor.

These are the legacies left behind by people who have struggled in the apocalypse for nearly ten years. It is an unimaginable wealth.

Having arrived here, even if it's just to take everything from the second floor, you should still choose to answer the questions.

Whoosh. The exhaust fan behind the monitor began to hum softly, and at the same time, the first question set by Ma Fei appeared on the screen.

[Question 1]: After you've spent some years struggling in this wasteland, one day a group of powerful strangers enter your life. They tell you that they've found a magical ticket that allows you to leave this wasteland and go to a world without any disasters, where you can simply enjoy life. However, there's a price to pay for the ticket.

[A. The cost of listening B. Direct refusal C. Direct agreement]

"Hmm, this is indeed a very interactive reading comprehension multiple-choice question!"

Seeing the two options that popped up on the screen, Su Mo didn't hesitate and immediately chose option A: Listen to the Price.

Leaving the wasteland is certainly tempting, but a normal person would choose to continue listening.

[Supplementary Question 1]: You agreed to their first-stage request. You wanted to leave the wasteland. You chose to listen to the price. Then, instead of telling you what the price was, they told you that they were about to establish a country, a wasteland country. As long as you joined, you could leave with them. As for the price? You didn't need to know.

[A. Agree B. Refuse C. The cost of insisting on listening]

"Oh? They've started playing around?"

With great interest, Su Mo's mind raced as he pondered the deeper meaning behind the three newly presented options.

If this was an option Ma Fei had considered before, given his current position, he would ultimately choose to participate, regardless of the final choice.

So, what answer does Ma Fei want: to participate or not to participate? "This is truly a question that tests human nature, but I choose C!"

Su Mo glanced at the rotating camera in the upper right corner, tapped his finger, and chose to continue listening to the price.

At this moment, the question was no longer just about Ma Fei; it was conveying a secret from the early days of the Yan Country Kingdom.

For Su Mo, knowing the true reason for the founding of the Yan Country Kingdom is more important than going to the third floor.

[Supplementary Question 1]: At your insistence, you obtained the "partial" cost they revealed. These costs can be summarized into three points: 1. When you choose to join, your shelter will level up ten times, but the consequence is that your shelter level will be permanently fixed.

2. Tickets to "Heaven" are scarce, so you need to cooperate with them regularly to organize and complete some seemingly "unbelievable" activities, such as: "Chicken Eating Battle Royale" games, Wilderness Welfare Lottery games. 3. You need to accept their assignments to serve in a certain place for more than ten years, leading ordinary people through disasters and accumulating "merit".

A. Agree B. Reject

"Huh, so that's how Ma Fei got his level 17 shelter? He got the benefit of leveling up ten times in one go?"

After staring at the text on the screen for a while and confirming that it wasn't a joke, Su Mo's expression turned serious.

If what Ma Fei described in his question is true, then the group that founded Yan Country was actually able to influence the Shelter Core to a certain extent.

This kind of capability cannot be achieved by technology alone; they must have obtained some kind of secret!

"If I were presented with this option, would I agree or refuse?"

At this moment, Su Mo truly put himself in the shoes of the options, pondering what his true nature was when faced with such choices.

The question is whether to join a country founded by one's own people, or to choose not to believe in it and insist on following one's own path of development.

Seeing Su Mo deep in thought, the multiple-choice questions on the screen didn't urge him on; instead, they went into screensaver mode, patiently waiting for Su Mo to think.

From Ma Fei's perspective, choosing B might be the more correct answer, but Su Mo is more curious about what he would actually choose.

"I'm quite a bold person. In this situation, just putting these strangers in front of me to negotiate terms is already a huge disgrace."

"Why would I let them talk to me about some bullshit price!"

After much thought, having arrived at the answer in his heart, Su Mo laughed heartily and chose B without hesitation!

Reject!

[Question 2]: Please state the reasoning for Question 1 in one sentence.

In the first question, after Su Mo chose to refuse, the screen did not indicate whether it was correct or incorrect; instead, it jumped directly to the second question.

"Good heavens, so this was the pit all along."

No score will be given regardless of whether you choose to agree or disagree for the first question.

In the second question, only the reasons submitted on the answer sheet will be used as the criteria for evaluation.

If you get it wrong, you lose everything, and I doubt you'll get another chance on the third question.

Yes, then let's get six points in a row and move on to the exciting third stage.

"What other reason could there be but a simple one: following my heart?"

With a confident smile, Su Mo selected the input box and, after the familiar input method popped up, used his hand as a pen to write down an extremely idealistic answer.

[My shelter level is my foundation for survival. Want to seal it off? Level 10 isn't enough; you'll have to pay more!]

In the blink of an eye, with the strokes of Su Mo's brush flowing like dragons, the screen began to lag after the submit button was clicked.

Snowflakes began to flash across the screen, accompanied by the sound of water flowing through the energy network of blood vessels on the ground, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise a few degrees.

"Cough"

A muffled cough came from the speakers. Compared to the lively AI and the recording, this voice sounded like someone who had just woken up and hadn't quite recovered.

"Future traveler, your answer is very interesting, it's been a long time."

"It's been so long since I've met someone as interesting as you!"

After a brief moment of dazedness, Ma Fei regained some consciousness and checked the answer. The phlegm in his mouth was no longer stuck, and his speech became more fluent.

"Excellent, excellent. The refusal was reasonable and well-founded, and the person is not rigid; they know how to be flexible and adaptable."

"If you can secure the greatest benefit for yourself, I'll let you pass this test."

Beep! Beep! After Ma Fei's voice disappeared, the screen returned to normal, with two festive beep sounds accompanied by a green checkmark.

The score in the upper right corner has reached 97 points, and the privilege of taking two items with you has also been granted.

"For the third question, you can choose to answer it now, or you can choose to answer it when you come back here next time."

Make a choice!

"Yes or no"

It was another familiar multiple-choice question, and without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo chose to continue answering.

It would take at least half a year to enter this site again, and there are too many variables in that time. It's better to finish answering the questions now and then.

[Question 3: If I told you that every time the alien race intercepted our goods, they did so with orders and intelligence from above; and if I further told you that the purpose of establishing Liangfang Town was not for trade, but to deplete the resources of Shanbei Province, please give me your opinion!]

???

The sudden appearance of a line of text on the screen sent a storm of emotions through Su Mo's heart, who was still waiting to answer the question.

At this moment, even Su Mo, who maintained a calm demeanor, was stunned! What? The interception of goods by the alien race was actually the intention of the Yan Country's high command? The purpose of establishing Liangfang Town wasn't for trade at all, but simply to deplete the food and resources of Shanbei Province? What were the higher-ups doing? Were they eating? "Recruitment, entrance fees, barriers, alien races"

While muttering the extracted keywords, the story of the Pterodactyl Zeta suddenly popped into Su Mo's mind.

The story of someone who came to the wasteland to protect their family, only to slaughter the entire clan when they were all caught off guard.

Isn't the approach taken by the Pterodactyl Zeta strikingly similar to that of the current high-ranking officials in Yan Country? "What a grand scheme, what a grand scheme!"

"Human Gu worms are protected by the Sky Dome Barrier, while the Gu worms of other races survive by sucking human blood."

"When a certain condition is about to be met, once supplies are cut off and the barriers are removed, the only way for everyone to survive is through killing."

"But what ability would humans, who have always relied on barriers and lived in a fantasy world, and other races, who have always relied on collecting tolls and never worked, farmed, or hunted for themselves, have to survive in the wilderness back then!"

"That's their ultimate goal!"

The old machine's fan whirred, and the room grew increasingly stuffy, but Su Mo, standing in front of the screen, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body began to tremble.

Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs.

"The sage is not benevolent; he treats the people like straw dogs!" Looking at the dialog box in front of him, waiting for him to enter information, Su Mo's mind was crystal clear at this moment. A classic phrase suddenly jumped out of his mind and could not be shaken off.

His body resembled Great Spear, his hands a red tassel, the screen an enemy, and his words a structured composition.

Su Mo wrote with flowing strokes, beginning to express his inner "rage": "I opened the journal and saw that there seemed to be no problem with it. On each page, written crookedly, were the words 'Fight to the end'."

"I couldn't sleep no matter what I did, so I carefully read through the pages for half the night before I finally saw the words between the lines: the entire mayor's log was filled with two large characters."

"Eating people!"

Whoosh! As the last two words were written, a thunderous boom suddenly resounded throughout the room.

The entire ruins seemed to be crumbling.

The earth was shaking, and the sun and moon were turning upside down.

Even without direct monitoring, the Sky Dome Barrier actually began to react to the words, seemingly wanting to destroy Su Mo, this "heretic".

Compared to those who are slow to realize the truth, Su Mo, who saw through their tricks from beginning to end, is undoubtedly a much more dangerous person!

But the next moment, when a roar like a lion rang out, everything fell silent, everything stopped! "Good! Good! Good!"

"Cannibalism! This rule, this country, this world, is cannibalism!"

As a green checkmark appeared on the screen, a rumbling sound began to ring out, and a door leading to the third floor appeared on the ceiling of the room!
