Chapter 77 Human vs. Machine?
Qi An didn't believe in such nonsense as "the phone came to life."
Does she have an AI program on her phone?
With such a smart program, can her phone even run it?
Or is it that her phone is actually connected to the internet, but she just doesn't know it?
Qi An typed the question out again, and then many more times.
Just as she was about to press the button until it was smoking, a sentence finally appeared on the memo:
[Stop! Your phone's memory is running low!]
Qi An was overjoyed, but quickly suppressed his excitement and typed a message first:
Thank you for your timely reminders twice, which helped me avoid danger.
【Hey! Thanks for accepting! Here's a little heart for you~】The reply included a small red heart doodle.
Qi An exhaled, unmoved, and steered the conversation back to the main topic:
Can you answer my questions? Who are you? In what form do you exist? What do you know about me?
[Cyber combat and life assistant, codenamed "Blue Star," dedicated to serving you!]
The answer came very quickly, but Qi An was taken aback.
Blue Star?
Speaking of blue stars, apart from the chalk drawings on the bulletin board at the orphanage when he was a child, Qi An could only think of the "Weaver Girl" anti-aircraft weapon.
The anti-epidemic weapon back then was also a bit strange, as if it knew her!
Are you the battle AI behind "Weaver Girl"?
Wow! You're so smart!
Qi An felt no joy at having guessed correctly. She paused for a moment before asking:
Please answer my third question: How much do you know about me?
This time it took a little while for the message to appear on the memo:
[The secret to your immunity to contamination, the mystery of your genes, the fact that you possess more than one superpower, and the fact that your captain and vice-captain know all your secrets—they are the people you trust most.]
Isn't that all?
Qi An remained stunned for a moment.
This "blue star" must have read all the chat history and memos on her phone.
Can he freely turn on her phone's camera and microphone?
"Blue Star" must be a combat AI developed by Base North 1. It knows everything, which means Base North 1 knows everything, doesn't it?!
Has she been running around naked the whole time?
If she was running naked in the line of sight from the top floor of North 1, then what was the point of going through all that trouble to get her blood back?!
Don't panic! I have no ill intentions towards you at all, really!
I already said it's a cyber assistant, so all we need to do is gossip together in our daily lives and fight side by side on the battlefield!
A major battle might be imminent.
Just a heads-up, don't overthink it. Use this time to rest and recharge; we'll have a chance to meet up soon!
Go get some rest!
Five seconds after that sentence appeared, the entire memo, including both text and doodles, disappeared completely.
But two seconds later, a small blue star appeared on the whiteboard.
The little star's doodling process was very slow, as if there was an unseen person holding a stylus, carefully drawing next to Qi An!
Qi An stared at the screen as it gradually went dark, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
After regaining her senses, she immediately got up and asked Yu Shuang, "Captain, have we used the combat AI of the North 1 Base?"
Did this task require you to download any cybersecurity tools?
A question mark appeared above Yu Shuang's head: "No. Combat AI? Never heard of it!"
Qi An remained silent. Even the captain, as the head of the entire team, had never used or heard of this little assistant. Was she the only one who had one?
So, was she already being watched by very high-ranking figures a long time ago?
I say I need to rest, but how can I sleep well knowing this kind of thing?
Qi An finally drifted off to sleep in the latter half of the night, but his dreams were chaotic, filled with images of the military camps, high-rise buildings, and streets of the North 1 Base.
She woke up later than everyone else the next day.
There's no need to get up early, because after the two white priests died, the forest was like a place without its guardian beasts.
The remaining mutated Fallen Insects were like lambs to the slaughter. Even if they were dispersed and moved by the remaining Wise Insects and mutated Insects, they could hardly escape the radar sight of large reconnaissance aircraft.
Some small teams with minimal casualties, along with two smaller teams that entered the forest yesterday, have once again ventured deep into the city to mop up the remaining enemy forces.
The team doesn't need to get up early; they just need to recover from their injuries.
But when he woke up, the support camp, which had been bustling with activity the night before, was now empty.
A large number of wounded and medical personnel have been evacuated, and the command post has also been moved back several kilometers.
For a moment, only the Stars Squad, Feng Xu's squads, and Southeast No. 1 Squad, which was about to get on the bus and leave, remained in the camp.
"Oh my god, you're finally up! Let's go back to base together! This is the last bus!" Zhao Lang called out from the bus door, carrying the last big backpack their team had left.
Yu Shuang simply waved her hand and said, "You guys go first, have a safe trip."
Zhao Lang was taken aback, "You..."
As if he had just thought of something, Wu Han ignored the excruciating pain in his back and strode back into the tent.
Qi An was rummaging through his bag inside the tent.
They may be the only team that fought many battles but never lost a single tactical backpack.
Each member of the team carried a black box carefully wrapped in layers of packaging in their bag.
Compared to the large, one-meter-square boxes in the basement of the Central Plains No. 3 base, these black boxes are much smaller, but when five are put together, they form a complete "Weaver Girl" drone swarm!
Wu Han didn't recognize "Weaver Girl," but he had already guessed that the team had another mission.
What mission? What mission is more difficult and demanding than killing a mutated white priest?
The Stars Squad's previous actions—avoiding direct combat with the Fallen Insects, conserving their strength and resources, and readily calling for support when possible—were met with immediate responses from several elite squads in South China...
This team!
Today is a bright and sunny day, with a slight northerly wind gently blowing up the withered yellow leaves in the open space in front of the camp.
Qi An looked up and saw Wu Han standing backlit by the curtain. He smiled and said, "You guys go first, have a safe trip."
