Chapter 72 Killer Simulator

Ji Xu has been an outlaw for some time. He has seen all kinds of chaos, including flying in the sky and running on the ground. It is common for him to become a psychological shadow for his opponents or be covered by enemy fire. Most of them were led by him, but this is his first time to fight underwater.

The submarine was several hundred meters away from the explosion point, and the huge thrust generated caused it to sway up and down in the water. Ji Xu silently sat back in the driving seat and fastened his seat belt.

The cavity formed by the torpedo explosion expanded rapidly during this period, and a vacuum environment appeared on the seabed. The entire sea area shook as if there was an earthquake. The bubbles produced burst like mushroom clouds, and the impact force spread outward. Fine pieces of acrylic rushed out of the sea along the water flow, sparkling under the helicopter light.

The splashing air currents not only destroyed the sea highway, but also attracted the attention of helicopters flying all over the city.

The message from the Super Brain Research Headquarters was sent out at the same time. When the AI ​​found out something was wrong, it immediately tried to contact its own people. However, humans are never as efficient as programs in transmitting messages. It was a few seconds late before it shouted at the helicopter, "Send the sonar! Immersive sonar!"

As they were shouting, the third explosion came as expected, leaving no one time to react.

"boom--"

The splashing water is like a tombstone reaching into the sky.

Except for the pilot who had no emotions and used all his energy to calculate his way out, all other humans including the executive officers were shaking and furious: How many torpedoes did this killer buy! Crow Island is about to be sunk, and no one is doing anything about it! !

In fact, no one cares.

Ji Xu decided to play the cyber game a few more times after returning to reality. For an outlaw, this background was simply heaven.

The island was affected, and the people who were evacuating home and stuck in traffic mistakenly thought it was an earthquake. They got out of their cars and looked at the plane, discussing whether it was a rescue plane. However, the helicopter did not land to pick up the people, nor did it drop emergency rescue kits. Instead, it lowered a line. Someone with good eyesight noticed something black tied to the end of the rope.

Ji Xu also saw it underwater. Without any hesitation, he adjusted the landing direction and pressed the button, using the last torpedo on the sonar. At the same time, he quickly got out of the submarine, wearing a light and simple diving suit, without an oxygen tank or heavy equipment. The strings of bubbles he exhaled blocked his vision. He fixed his goggles and swam towards the collapsed tunnel.

The helicopter's attack against the submarine is a dimensionality reduction attack. Ji Xu has no way to solve the problem above his head and can only try his best to prolong the assassination time.

Sonar cannot detect unless it is immersed in water, and the sea surface will reflect most of the sound waves. Torpedoes cannot be launched into the sky unless missiles are installed to make a double jump. It is easy to get torpedoes from the dark web, as Crow Island is a city on the sea. However, missiles are a bit scary, and the bartender can do nothing about it unless the preparation time is extended to half a month later.

Ji Xu couldn't wait, he liked to kill with one blow and finish the task quickly. The task list did not show the completion progress, and the executive was still alive.

He left the tunnel half naturally and half under compulsion, for he knew very well that the next target would be the sonar network. If he did not run away, the consequence for him would be the same as that of the executive, being hunted down and shot at. Unless he could get near the executive immediately, Super Brain Research would not be able to distinguish from the chart who was the boss and who was the enemy, and would be forced to stop and send people into the sea to kill him instead.

Ji Xu actually didn’t quite understand why he could always play normal games like a terrorist.

This is also a kind of talent...right?

There were many sea creatures that had been affected by the disaster lying near the tunnel. The sea water had turned red due to the dead fish. Ji Xu swam to the left half of the modified car that was crushed. Many sonar buoys were thrown down one after another above his head. He fiddled with the wreckage of the vehicle with his gloves and saw the fragments of a suit pressed under the seat. He raised his eyebrows.

Obviously, the program reacts faster than humans. In the emergency, Saimu abandoned the vehicle in exchange for the boss's survival. The executive successfully survived two explosions, but was completely cut off from the ground and the artificial intelligence assistant. In the following time, he will face the killer's pursuit alone.

…

Saimu's commands were interspersed between microphones. It withdrew all external monitoring and used all calculations on command, which made it much more flexible. However, Saimu encountered a problem that other humans could not solve, that is, it could not observe the underwater battle situation.

Without the conditions, even the best computer cannot predict the result.

Sonar can detect images similar to thermal images, but it can't distinguish too much detail. Unfortunately, the size of the executive officer and the killer is not much different. The most outrageous thing is that the killer doesn't even bring an oxygen tank! Both of them are lightweight and have no burden. The height difference of a few centimeters can be almost ignored when they are active underwater.

Everyone was devastated.

They had to figure out who the boss was from the two images. If they dragged on any longer, they would enter the escape passage, which was blocked by rubble and the gate could not be lowered. Not only would the executive be unable to escape in time after entering, the wall would also block the sound wave detection, making rescue more difficult.

The two people in the image were entangled. The executive wanted to leave, and Ji Xu followed slowly behind him, taking advantage of the situation. He was surprisingly low in aggressiveness, as if he was not the one who pressed the button for the torpedo just now. He occasionally entangled with the executive, and the other party was not stupid either. He seized the opportunity to turn back suddenly, but his route was not towards the escape passage, but towards the sea surface.

As the target of pursuit, the executive was surprisingly calmer than the employees on the ground.

The escape route has become a trap set by the killer. He was destined to be isolated and helpless. He swam towards the sea not out of desperation, but because he hoped that someone could distinguish the two from their actions. Even if the IQ of all the employees decreased, Saimu could still summarize the rules.

In the video, the one running away must be him, and the one chasing him relentlessly is the killer.

However, just as the two men had opened up a gap of less than half a meter, the killer suddenly accelerated. His body was more agile than the executive officer, and in the blink of an eye he ran to the front of the route. It looked as if the executive officer was actively chasing him, and the image could no longer tell who was who.

The executive changed direction and was about to increase the distance again when, in a flash, he suddenly realized something.

He and the killer were suspended in the dark sea water at night, staring at each other quietly. The other party did not rush up to attack him. The executive officer vaguely observed that there was a black-haired young man opposite. The water waves disturbed the other party's figure, but the killer's ease was still revealed in his movements.

The executive moved slower and slower, figuring everything out.

He was able to escape because the killer's aggressiveness was too low.

But the killer was slacking off. It wasn't that he was stupid enough to tease the enemy. On the contrary, the enemy noticed the blind spot before anyone else and kept a low profile to avoid exposing his identity. Otherwise, he couldn't escape from the sonar even if he killed himself. If the stalemate continued, the one without equipment would die first due to lack of oxygen.

Looking back at the escape passage that was not completely destroyed, the executive officer suddenly felt the other party's sinister intentions. Under the silent sea and away from the crowd, a bone-chilling chill crept up his spine.

It would be best if he died in the explosion. If he didn't die, the other party wouldn't care. Idiots would step into the trap without knowing it, and smart people would drown. Even if there were smart people who saw through the killer's plan, they could do nothing about it, because this was an open conspiracy waiting for an appointment. For example, now, the killer leisurely stopped his action and politely waited for his choice. After all, it would take time for the helpers who had come down from the water to arrive, and his only chance of survival was to take the risk and keep the appointment at the Hongmen Banquet.

The submarine went into the sea and the torpedo exploded, and the outcome of the chase was already determined.

The executive officer looked deeply at the killer who was quietly waiting in the sea water, then turned around and dived into the escape passage. He found from the killer's actions that the other party was more particular than his peers, disdained to play tricks, and would respect the enemy and wait for him to figure out how to die. However, the danger that was pressing step by step was no less than that of others.

The reason why the open conspiracy is called an open conspiracy is that even if he has thought it through, he can do nothing about it. The glimmer of hope has repeatedly caused humans to fall one after another, and no one is immune. He must enter the escape passage, so that the gap can be narrowed. The other party can put aside their worries and chase him, and he can also buy time to wait for rescue.

Ji Xu floated behind the executive and glanced at the sonar devices that were interwoven into a web behind him. He narrowed his eyes and slowly followed.

…

"They're completely in!"

The people in the super brain research team sighed. They had not thought through the crisis lurking in the pursuit. They mistakenly believed that a long-term entanglement would allow the team to distinguish the two people. However, they had never thought about why the killer in the video never took action, but instead lingered around the boss.

Saimu was the only intelligent being that did not give up. It had no emotions, so it could abandon the recorded data without any regrets and look for a new way out: "The rescue center reported three minutes ago that the rescue team is about to head to the tunnel fracture. The underwater rifle was successfully mobilized. □□ was successfully mobilized. The helicopter received it successfully."

This is to prepare to blast away the rubble and the gate and fight the killer face to face.

Some people couldn't help but ask: "Is it too late?"

Judging from the assassination speed spread by C, they doubted that the boss would not last more than five minutes. Just now, the people from Super Brain Research were frantically searching the records, trying to find out who their boss had angered to attract a killer of this level, but he had made too many enemies, and it seemed that the huge reward was accumulated by the masses. He had not taken it seriously and put it aside, but now he was regretting it when his death was imminent.

Saimu's cold synthesized voice echoed in the room: "Trying to access the helicopter communication, access completed, please ask the helicopter to hand over the equipment box immediately and support the rescue center's weapons."

“…”

To be honest, these people remained silent because they thought the boss would die sooner or later, and they tried not to make enemies with the killer. Workers are not gangsters, and they do not have a life-and-death relationship with the boss. However, machines do not know how to protect themselves, and people with authority cannot stop the boss while he is alive. They can only watch the artificial intelligence convey the order in silence.

Everyone put down their hands from typing on the keyboards and operating the sonar. The humming of the machines mixed with the beating of their hearts, making people feel irritated. All efforts were in vain, and the false hopes had been shattered. What was left was up to fate.
