Inside one of the buildings was the facility Alex had been looking for. It was the place where they kept all the humans.
The inside was a huge dome filled with rows of massive tubes. Naked men and women floated in each one.
If Alex had been there in person, he would have expected each human to be hooked to cables and some kind of VR device.
But there were none. Unlike Aira, who had used a device, these people floated freely in the strange liquid.
From time to time, a faint energy leaked out from their bodies and was absorbed by the pods.
Many pipes extended from each pod, running into the ceiling and floor.
In one of the pods, the liquid suddenly began to sizzle like boiling water.
A moment later, wounds started to appear all over the man's body. Each wound looked like it had been made by a sword.
The man's muscles tensed. A gaping hole opened in his stomach.
Blood seeped out and dyed the liquid red.
