Chapter 102: The Salvation Plan for the End of the World
Under Xiaobai's skin, a faint blue data stream spread like blood vessels, but suddenly stopped at the heart - a string of flashing binary codes emerged there, like a seal being forcibly torn apart.
01001001 00100000 01001100 01001111 01010110 01000101 00100000 01011001 01001111 01010101
(Translation: I LOVE YOU)
Tang Jingmo's pupils suddenly contracted - the date of writing of this string of code showed the end of the world, and the signature was actually...
Himself?!
This is impossible!
unless......
“Sizzle~”
There was a sharp sound of electricity, and suddenly a three-dimensional projection of Dr. He appeared in the air.
He was wearing a tattered white coat, and his eyes behind his glasses were tired and complicated, as if he was staring at them through time and space.
"Congratulations to both of you for finally reaching the last step."
"Dr. He?" Xiaobai subconsciously tensed his body, with the saber already on his fingertips.
Dr. He's projection did not respond in real time like a real person, but continued calmly:
"Everything you see now is just one of countless programs. Since the successful birth of the S01 experiment, we have calculated all possibilities and written a final program for each outcome."
His image flickered slightly, and there was a slight tremor in his voice:
"And what you are seeing now... is the result I most hope to see, but it is also the outcome I least want to face."
Tang Jingmo's knuckles turned white from pinching his fingers: "Result? Ending? What kind of result? What kind of ending?"
Dr. He's eyes seemed to turn to him, as if he was looking through him at another person, or as if he was answering his question seriously:
"Tang Jingmo, as the base commander, you know better than anyone what this experiment means. We could have completed it in the end times, but the intervention of the higher dimension... disrupted everything."
His image began to flicker unsteadily, and his speech became faster:
"Protecting S01 is your most important mission. If you are with her... please help her survive in the new time and space. As long as you are alive... the end of the world can be changed."
"But, be careful—"
“Sizzle!!!”
A sharp interference sound suddenly exploded, and Dr. He's image was distorted violently, repeating intermittently:
"Attention...attention...attention..."
The following content was completely cut off, leaving only a glaring snowflake noise.
Suddenly, a crack with flashing silver light appeared in the sky.
Countless scarlet bullet screens poured down like a rainstorm:
【Virus test...confirmed】
[Clearance program started]
[Target locked: S01 experimental subject]
【Execute the kill】
The ground began to tremble, and the sky peeled away like a torn canvas, revealing the cold metal dome behind it.
The entire world they live in is actually just a huge virtual sandbox.
The cracks in the sky spread like a spider web, and the scarlet barrage of clearing procedures became more and more dense.
The ground began to disintegrate into pixels, revealing the surging data stream underneath - the world was being forcibly formatted by the system.
Xiaobai stared at his fingertips, which were gradually becoming transparent, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that I am just a piece of code."
Tang Jingmo grabbed her wrist, but the touch began to become unreal: "No, even if it is a code——"
His combat boots sank deep into the melting ground. "I truly love you, too."
The moment the cleaning program touched Xiaobai, the binary code at the location of her heart suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light.
The string of "I LOVE YOU" split and multiplied like a living thing, instantly infecting the entire clearance system.
"Warning! Emotional virus invasion detected!"
"Warning! Dangerous human emotion virus discovered!"
"Warning! Can't clear! Can't clear! Can't clear!"
The mechanical sound suddenly distorted into the aged voice of Dr. He: "Well done...my children."
A beam of light rose from under Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo's feet, and Dr. He's voice echoed in the space again:
"Captain Tang, you used your own brain as a carrier to hide the emotion virus in the core code of S01. Now, it has finally taken effect."
At the same time, another hidden image was suddenly projected in the air:
【Apocalypse Base Laboratory】
Tang Jingmo inserted the neural connector into the solar plexus, and blood flowed along the cable into the host: "Turn our memory... into a virus."
Dr. He hit the enter key with trembling hands: "This will erase all memories between you..."
"It doesn't matter!" He looked at Xiao Bai sleeping in the incubator, "As long as she is alive."
The sound of electricity rang again and the image disappeared.
All the comments were frozen into one sentence: [Final Command Override: Protect Human Love]
The white robed shadow that had always been high above showed a horrified expression for the first time:
"impossible......"
The SO1 ring was forcibly separated from Xiaobai's body, and the collapse of the entire space suddenly stopped.
"The rules say," Xiaobai clenched the SO1 gold ring in his hand, put his hands together and exerted force, breaking it into pieces and turning into golden stars.
"My existence is a virus and a destructive program, so you are afraid and want to eliminate me, but unfortunately you are one step behind..."
The broken SO1 ring burst into a blazing golden flame, burning the entire data world.
"I'm going to destroy all of your space-time anchors here!"
"Be careful!" Tang Jingmo saw a stream of data sweeping over Xiaobai, and without thinking, he jumped over and hugged her.
When the golden light faded, the two disappeared together.
[In the end of the world in 2175, outside the base. ]
At dusk of the end of the world, the sky looked like a rag stained with blood.
Xiaobai stood outside the base, his fingertips subconsciously stroking the S01 ring - it had lost its energy and turned into a dull scar.
She remembered everything: Tang Jingmo's smile, the warmth of his palm, their reunion at Dragon God Mountain, and every little detail that happened afterwards...
But now he doesn't recognize her.
After clearing the space-time anchor points buried by the advanced civilization and destroying SO1, space-time turbulence occurred and the two were drawn into the end of another parallel space-time.
He is still the youngest base commander.
She is a wanderer, a wanderer with memories of another time and space, a wanderer who protects her lover and tries to awaken his memory.
She heard the roar of a motorcycle in the distance, looked up and saw a patrol approaching.
The leading man was wearing a crisp military uniform, had a fresh scar on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Tang Jingmo.
Her heart skipped a beat and she almost rushed over to hug him, but she was nailed to the spot.
"New here?" He braked and stopped in front of her, pointing the gun at her vaguely.
"Yeah." Her voice was tight, "I was just passing by."
He frowned and looked at her - she was too clean, not like someone who lived in the wasteland.
His eyes swept over the saber at her waist, the style was familiar, it seemed like it was polished in his style.
"one person?"
"Not now," she said softly, her eyes falling behind him - that was the city wall they once guarded together.
He didn't understand the deeper meaning of her words, but out of a sense of military responsibility, he still extended his hand to her: "Strangers are not welcome in the base, but if you need shelter, you can follow me temporarily."
She looked at his outstretched hand, her eyes warmed.
