Chapter 65 The Chosen Poultry
The year 1811 in the old calendar.
Watching my fallen comrade being dragged away by the guards, I knew I had no way out.
I suppressed my anger, followed the footsteps of the black-robed man, and walked out of this concrete bungalow with other refugees.
The humming sound rang again, that was the sound of the city wall starting to work again - I heard from the top leaders of the resistance army that these city walls used the technology of the relics, let alone them, even the humans in the prosperous era could not break through from the front.
The Wall of Sighs, it is worthy of the name.
By the way, this is the name I heard from the guards, and the city I entered was called Varela City by them.
Following the black-robed man, we walked into the jungle not far away.
The lush jungle is a natural soundproof wall. Not long after walking, the dizzying humming sound completely disappeared.
Passing through the jungle, I finally saw the true face of Varela City.
This is a backward city made of concrete and cement. Looking around, there are almost all low houses with three to four floors or even one or two floors.
This is a waste of space.
The intelligent machines can easily build extremely strong skyscrapers, but they don't do so.
This is also puzzling.
I walked on the relatively flat cement road and saw the humans kept by the intelligent machines.
They have one nose and two eyes like me, but...
unlike the propaganda within the resistance army, these captive humans seem to live comfortably?
There is even a healthy rosy color on both sides of their cheeks!
This is almost impossible to see outside the city!
In addition, they are very awed by the black-robed man in front of me-the priest, they call the black-robed man the priest.
The intelligent machines actually started to deal with gods and religions, which is really ridiculous.
...
1812 in the old calendar.
It's been five months.
I have been in Varela for five months.
But the awakening plan still has no progress-
the residents of this city have been brainwashed, and they worship that false god from the bottom of their hearts!
They don't believe any descriptions about the outside of the city! !
Damn it! Damn it! !
...
In the year 1813 of the old calendar.
The people of the church are getting more and more rampant.
They use the statues to wantonly monitor the entire city of Varela. Anyone who has a different heart will be labeled a pagan and sent to the church's execution platform to be executed.
Not only that, they are also plundering all kinds of books in the city.
They want to rule the city completely!
...
In the year 1814 of the old calendar.
Only I am left.
The awakening plan...
I think it has failed.
I have to go to the cathedral to study again today...
No, this is not learning, this is brainwashing!
They persist in brainwashing the refugees from outside the city day after day, instilling information about the gods in us...
I don't know how long I can hold on.
Perhaps, one day I will become like these "human pets".
...
Chen Fan put down the diary in his hand and exhaled a long breath.
The content of the diary, coupled with Xu Huai's words, gave him a general understanding of the truth of this world.
Although the author of the diary did not know the reason why the intelligent machines kept humans in captivity, Chen Fan, after combining his own experience, had a startling guess in his mind.
"The Chosen One..."
Chen Fan stared at the thick diary in his hand and murmured in a low voice.
"What?"
Xu Huai, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, and curiously asked: "What happened to the Chosen One?"
Chen Fan raised his head and cast a complicated look at Xu Huai who was standing in front of him: "The Chosen One is the purpose of the intelligent machines to keep humans in captivity."
"He wants to continuously select humans who meet certain conditions, just like humans select poultry that meet the standards."
"I am the chosen poultry."
Xu Huai was stunned on the spot.
Her rosy lips opened slightly, and her big eyes were full of horror.
"This... this..."
Xu Huai was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.
"Then, what does the intelligent machine want the Chosen One to do?"
"To do hard labor?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "It's not clear at the moment, but it shouldn't be a good thing."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Xu Huai bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and asked Chen Fan.
"I definitely can't participate in the God's Chosen Ceremony." Chen Fan shrugged calmly, "I'm not going to die."
"In this way, I only have the last two options left."
"Either escape from Varela City before the God's Chosen Ceremony."
Chen Fan's eyes flashed, "Or... just do what Gao Yuan and the others said and overthrow the church!"
"Just like what is described in this diary, restart the awakening plan and let this fortress collapse from the inside!"
"I personally prefer the latter."
Chen Fan looked at Xu Huai with a smile: "The purpose of your previous actions should be to select like-minded people to restart the awakening plan with you, right?"
Xu Huai was shocked.
Seen through!
It is indeed as Chen Fan said, her previous mysterious operation of letting people find the truth on their own was to select companions - the awakening plan is not something that any cat or dog can get involved in, and it can kill people if it is not handled well!
After a brief thought, Xu Huai calmed down and nodded calmly.
"You're right."
"I do have this idea."
"Humans should not be subservient to the intelligent machines they created. What's more... I don't think life under the rule of the church and intelligent machines is very comfortable."
"Overthrow the rule of the church, unite with the resistance outside the city, and then launch a counterattack against the damn intelligent machines..."
Xu Huai looked at Chen Fan with undisguised burning eyes: "Are you willing to join?"
...
"Welcome to the Hazardous Technology Administration, trainee investigator Chen Fan."
In the holographic screen, Moore had a bright smile on his face and congratulated and welcomed Chen Fan.
"The authority of the Level I trainee investigator has been released. Further authority level upgrades require a comprehensive assessment based on your task completion."
"Task? Is it to find a scientific research ship?"
"This is just one of the tasks." Moore's smile faded a little. "Without knowing the specific location and detailed situation of the scientific research ship, I think you'd better find some low-difficulty novice dungeons to practice."
"It's not a wise choice to rashly enter the universe, especially when the human fleet cannot jump to your side."
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly: "Novice dungeon?"
"The civilization you are in now involves human mechanization transformation and civilization religious control, which can be used to accumulate experience for you."
"Investigate the truth behind this civilization, and if necessary, implement necessary intervention on this civilization to make them stop this suicidal behavior."
...
Chen Fan came back to his senses from his memories, and a little bitterness rose in his heart.
It was agreed to be just a novice dungeon.
Now it seems that he has received a task of hell difficulty-whose trainee investigator will come to investigate the rebellious artificial intelligence! ! !
While complaining in his heart, Chen Fan gave his answer to Xu Huai.
"Of course."
"But I have one condition."
