I'm trapped in a cube

Along the way, Zhou Chao scolded the captain for being inhumane and unreasonable, for bullying a weak investigator and leaving him alone in such a dangerous place.

Not only that, he also greeted all his teammates.

“The supply staff didn’t leave me any extra food, so I had to find wild vegetables and dig mushrooms by myself, and I had to worry about the wild vegetables and mushrooms jumping up and attacking me.”

"Lao Tian also swore to me that there are fish on this empty island. He said that he had seen one as big as an arm. It was all a lie! The fish had been killed by the activated water long ago, and there was not even a single insect in the water. "

"He also lied to me that the bugs on this island are delicious. I ate a mouthful of bitter taste and it took me three days to recover."

Zhou Chao was obviously full of resentment, and after learning the inside story of the island, he vented it all.

He has been alone for too long, and it was not his original intention to stay on this island. He battles wits and courage with activated pollution every day, and it is inevitable that he will feel resentful.

Li Luo followed behind and listened, nodding and snickering.

Until Zhou Chao complained about something:

"And this broken electronic screen. Yuanxin Technology must have cut corners. It broke as soon as the warranty period expired. I don't even have any entertainment on this empty island. I squat on the ground and count ants every day."

"I don't even want to check whether the mushrooms I dug up are edible. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been lying on the bed long ago."

"Heartless capitalist!"

Hearing this, the smile on Li Luo's face disappeared instantly.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Chao noticed something was wrong with Li Luo.

"It's okay, I really have no conscience."

"Oh." Zhou Chao responded dully, and then continued to curse.

From the bad atmosphere of the investigation team to the materialistic and extravagant lifestyle of Dawn City, some people are suffering in the abyss, while others are enjoying happiness in the high-rise buildings of Dawn City.

"Do you know what those capitalists will think if activated pollution really spreads to Dawn City?"

"What do you think?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"They won't think about how to deal with activated pollution, but how to use it! They will use activated pollution to make the figures alive, and then sell them to those two-dimensional ones. You know, it's best to cheat the two-dimensional money! Maybe those two-dimensional people will be grateful to them!"

"Also, they might activate all the machines in the factory so that the machines don't need to consume electricity. However, if the machines gain consciousness, will they ask for rest? What about asking for weekends? But it's useless to ask, even if It’s human beings, and there are many people who don’t have to take a break or have weekends…”

"They may also activate the water to generate electricity by themselves, activate the flames, let them burn their own boilers, activate the pickaxes, let them dig their own mines, and activate the corpses so that they can come back to work!"

Zhou Chaoyi said indignantly, getting more and more outrageous as he spoke.

"The house prices in Dawn City are so expensive, will they revitalize the houses in other cities, and then wave the whip to let those houses come to Dawn City on their own, and then they will sell the houses?"

Li Luo listened to his nonsense and couldn't laugh or cry: "Will you buy an activated house to live in? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the house?"

Zhou Chao was stunned and muttered: "Now that the house has not been revitalized, isn't it still eating a lot of people..."

"There's more! There's more!" Zhou Chao suddenly thought of something again.

“Have you ever seen those cows plowing the fields in history books?”

"I've seen it before, what's wrong?" Li Luo nodded.

"Do cattle need to eat grass when plowing the land? Forage is the cost, and you have to spend time and energy to care about the health of the cattle."

"Later, humans replaced cattle with machinery and let the machinery plow the land. At this time, oil was the cost, and time and energy had to be spent on maintaining the machinery."

"Isn't this the same? The only difference is that efficiency has become higher. The development of human productivity is the pursuit of the ultimate in efficiency, which is also what capitalists are pursuing."

"But what is the most efficient thing? Let the land cultivate itself!"

“Revitalize farmland!”

“This way, both cattle and machinery can be optimized.”

"This is the same for any job. For example, a clerk who works in front of a computer is like a cow. Cows need to eat grass, and clerks need wages. Both are the same. Their wages are the cost. Ten Clerks need ten wages and ten costs.”

"But the efficiency of clerks is limited. How can we improve efficiency?"

"Revitalize the computer! Let the computer work by itself. There is no need for clerks, no salary, and no need to care about the computer. There is no "Computer Operations Protection Act" on the computer. Isn't it a good place to exploit?"

"The clerks can also be optimized and let them do whatever they like."

"Yes! Let them buy houses. No one has bought the houses that came to Dawn City anyway."

"What? No salary?"

"You spent all your salary on revitalized figures? Whose fault is this? It's not their own fault!"

…

Zhou Chao's resentment slowly subsided under the constant complaints.

He is just an ordinary person struggling in the abyss, and is naturally entangled in the world. What he said is just nonsense in Li Luo's opinion.

Although it is unrealistic, it is also unrealistic.

Fortunately, the activated pollution only exists on this empty island and has not spread. Dawn City is also far away from here, and the nonsense of the Zhou Dynasty will not be realized for the time being.

"In short, I won't let the activation spread any further. Although I complain, I never regret staying on this empty island. As long as I'm here for one day, the activated pollution will never leave this empty island!"

"Weren't you forced to stay by the captain? What's there to regret?"

"Then... then there must be my personal will! The captain can't force me!" Zhou Chao explained anxiously: "Of course I have to agree, the captain will keep me here, this is also my decision."

Li Luo listened to his stumbling excuses and didn't go into it further.

In any case, Zhou Chao did stay here.

"I will also stop the activated pollution." Li Luo said seriously.

Zhou Chao was stunned. He didn't know why Li Luo suddenly became so serious. After thinking about it, he could only think that Li Luo was affected by his emotions just now.

He sighed and apologized a little embarrassedly:

"I'm a person who talks without restraint, and I haven't talked to anyone on the island for a long time. Don't mind it, just ignore my nonsense just now."

"I think what you said makes sense. Activated pollution is really terrible. We can't let it spread to Dawn City." Li Luo said seriously.

Seeing Li Luo so serious, Zhou Chao was speechless.

"Uh, well...you don't have to be so nervous. Capitalists won't do this."

"No." Li Luo shook his head: "Capitalists really do this."
