Chapter 1381 - 1376 Instinctive Jealousy
Chapter 1381: Chapter 1376 Instinctive JealousyThroughout the journey, the accompanying Order Guard increasingly gave Gong Xiao the impression of a guiding robot. They remained silent the whole way, and Gong Xiao simply followed, unable to get any response to her questions unless it was a necessary matter, at which point the Guard would utter a few words. Each time, however, the sound emitted did not exceed two syllables.
Gong Xiao couldn’t count how many times she "brushed past" individuals working within the huge square devices. Finally, they reached the end of this space and arrived at a silver door opposite to them. As before, a red light scanned over the face of the Order Guard, and the door swiftly opened. When the light fell upon Gong Xiao, it similarly flashed brightly.
"This place is huge. Will I ever have the chance to go out?" she asked, standing beside the Order Guard. She hadn’t expected any response to her question, but surprisingly, this time, the Order Guard replied.
"Once you’re in here, no one can get out."
The tone was as indifferent as ever, but Gong Xiao was unexpectedly taken aback. The Guard had actually answered her question, and what’s more, had said so many words at once!
What a surprise! Such a big surprise!
"You actually responded, which is quite surprising. But why can’t we leave? Does this mean I will be here forever?" Gong Xiao said, astonished, and then threw out another question.
However, this time, the Order Guard did not respond. She led Gong Xiao through the door, and inside was a different scene.
No longer like the prior space with its bare ceilings and huge square machinery standing on the ground.
Gong Xiao noticed very few people moving around here, and they were all women. Many spaces in front of the devices were vacant, suggesting by the black panels that many people had been here before her arrival. It was very likely that the controllers of this place had sent all the men elsewhere to avoid meeting with her.
Moreover, in the previous space, the personnel working within the square devices seemed to be all male, with hardly any females to be seen.
This area lacked the giant black square devices, but elongated oval-shaped machinery connected the ground to the ceiling. Next to each device dangled a circular glass container filled with a luminescent green liquid of unknown origin.

Yet, the jealousy vanished as quickly as it had come. A woman has an inexplicable pursuit of beauty, an obsession to which she is not immune. The beauty on others instinctively invokes some jealousy in her but thinking of the ordeal Gong Xiao is about to face – more horrific than death itself – any jealousy dissolves.
Rather than possessing supreme beauty, she would prefer to live on comfortably in this place, with ample food each day. The price she pays? Just some inhumane deeds. But in these end times, human rights are non-existent. If not for herself, who else would she consider?
She took a few deep breaths, nodded at the Order Guard next to Gong Xiao, knowing full well what these Order Guards were – simply killing machines – and was not bothered to speak further with them.
The Order Guard did not linger and left the place without looking back.
The woman sat down again, manipulated the mouse to operate the computer for a while, and then stood up to face Gong Xiao.
Meanwhile, Gong Xiao had been sizing up the woman. She appeared to be in her thirties, but as a Level 5 New Human, she had likely lived through ten years, and by now people were aware that New Humans had extended lifespans.
According to scientists who researched this field, Level 8 New Humans have lifespans of around 270 years. This woman must be at least forty by now.
