"I'm so hungry!"

"I need to pee, Mr. Robot. Can you let me go pee first before tying me up again?"

Inside the resource collection area of the uninhabited zone, someone was lying on the ground, wailing.

He carefully observed their surroundings. The force field had a limited coverage area, and apart from the mine, it was only them.

The mine was already half full, and it seemed that in another half day or so, it would be completely filled up.

The robots acted according to their programming. There was no point in saying anything now. Once they reached space and communication was restored, the aliens would likely discover them.

Suddenly, Zhuge Tao noticed that the newly arrived mining robots, after dumping the ore, didn't continue burrowing. Instead, they stopped in place.
