Liangfeng Community
The prop's anti-electric effect was only effective on himself. Gao Wenwen had no choice but to let go of the person and leave him there: "Then you figure out a way yourself."
He should be able to find a way to get rid of the electric field he set up himself. The most important thing is that everyone needs to get out of here quickly.
Shi Yan was still trying to break down the door with violence, but the stairwell was narrow and she couldn't really use her full strength. Just when she was at her wit's end, the entrance was opened from the outside and someone poked their head in. It was Shu Shenan's anxious face: "Are you all right? Come out quickly!"
There was no time to say more. After he opened the exit, everyone ran out of the basement.
Before leaving, Ding Can looked back at Song Qi in the distance. There was already a faint smell of gunpowder in the air. He was not sure about the operation process of the machine, but it should be activated soon.
Song Qi stared at the backs of the people leaving, with a hint of confusion and unwillingness in his eyes.
At this time, he should have occupied a new body and used his control over the community to eliminate these people and also those who might affect his future plans.
The next second, his eyes returned to those of a wild animal. He took a big step forward without any expression. High voltage current instantly spread throughout his body. He fell heavily to the ground. Flames started burning from his body and he was quickly surrounded by fire.
Perhaps silently waiting for death to come was more tormenting for him, so he chose a quicker way to end his life.
The consequences of years of evil finally showed up at this moment. Everything he had squandered would vanish into thin air, and all that was left was the condemnation of the world.
"Let's go." Ding Can came back to his senses when he heard Yu Fu's voice. He raised his hand and was pulled by him to leave the basement together.
Shu Shenan walked and talked: "I just saw your message and found out that the cave entrance was closed. I finally found a way to open it. Everyone has evacuated, and only you few are left."
"Thank you, brother." Gao Wenwen said gratefully. He didn't expect that at this critical moment he would turn around and think about bringing them out. In less than half a minute, several people quickly reached the path outside the house.
In order to avoid being affected, they ran outside again. After running about ten meters, they heard a huge explosion behind them. Everyone fell forward to the ground, feeling the heat wave invading from behind and then disappearing.
In the darkness of the night, the whole house was engulfed in flames that shot up into the sky, like a fleeting display of fireworks, and gray smoke filled the air.
The temperature around us rose a few degrees, and only after the smoke cleared a little did we finally see the ruins of the house.
Song Qi has lived a lifetime, and from the construction of Liangfeng Community to the present, he has experienced the feeling of holding human lives in his hands for a long time. His right and wrong will be judged by those who should know the truth.
However, the Liangfeng community, which has no leader, and those who know the truth besides Song Qi, will still require a lot of effort to completely resolve the issue.
Starting today, community residents will face a very big battle. I just hope they can unite.
Shu Shenan stood up and wiped the dust off his face. At first, he thought his legs were shaking uncontrollably because he was too excited. Then he felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake. He said hesitantly, "Is it an earthquake?"
Could it be that the explosion in the basement caused the land to collapse further, causing a small earthquake in the area? If that's the case, then the surrounding area is no longer safe.
Xia Jialian tried his best to maintain his balance: "No, this should be a sign of the copy collapsing."
Several people followed his gaze and saw that the dark blue sky above their heads had changed, and subtle folds began to appear like a scroll.
After Song Qi was dealt with, the inside story behind Liangfeng Community was revealed. No matter how many searches were conducted afterwards, they would have nothing to do with them. According to the previous rules, it was indeed time to leave.
Moreover, according to the final sprint stage of the training camp, the trainees should normally have to go through several more copies before they can reach the final clearance.
But this goes against everyone's original idea. The purpose of all of them entering the copy this time was to find the truth within the system. They have already taken a step further and must not miss the opportunity.
"Didn't they say that this instance has already established a connection with the system headquarters? After we find the truth, shouldn't we get closer to the system?"
Shu Shenan had just survived the disaster and had a phone call with his sister. He hadn't hung up yet, so of course he could hear the noise at the scene.
Shu Yubei's voice on the other end of the phone didn't sound very stable. "It's the same here. The images in the monitoring room are becoming disordered, and the circuits are also becoming unstable. I don't think it will last much longer."
"Don't worry, we won't go back to the training camp." Ding Can looked at his companions' panicked expressions and spoke in a firm tone.
She has been coexisting with the system for as long as the system has been established. Even if she does not have much initiative, she can still do her best to avoid being affected.
She stretched out her hand towards Yu Fu: "If we can stop it, let's do it together."
The moment their palms met, a breeze rose from under their feet and the vibrations from the earth became more and more violent. The others could only hold on to something to control the shaking of their bodies.
In addition to Song Qi's room where the explosion had just occurred, tiles and wall coverings began to fall off from other nearby houses. The outside of the walls seemed to have been melted by something and gradually turned into a fluid shape.
The whole world seemed to be melting like ice and smoke, and it would soon disappear into nothingness.
"Will it succeed?" Gao Wenwen squinted his eyes and looked at the two people nearby. Nothing that happened around them could affect them. The whirlwind that surrounded them wrapped around their bodies, and the air filled with smoke and burning ashes could not get close at all.
Yu Fu looked at Ding Can, and from this moment on, he finally understood where the familiarity and intimacy he felt when they first met came from.
They really have known each other for a long time, even when they were just cold data at the beginning and had not yet developed humanity and personality.
To put it in an analogy, it is like the connection and bond that we have since birth. No matter what we go through, even if we have lost our memories, it will never change.
And now, after knowing everything, the connection will become closer, and they are working together to search for something hidden deep in the copy.
Soon, Yu Fu began to feel the place that he once thought was his home. The moment he established the aiming point, something was calling him, making him return to the environment where all kinds of data were integrated with each other.
Ding Can closed his eyes. "As long as we make them visible to ordinary people, the transmission link between the training camp and the system will be broken and integrated with the dungeon. Then everyone won't have to go back."
What they have to do now is not to recognize and respond to the return of this call, but to resist it with all their might and find a point of action to uproot it from the darkness and expose it openly to everyone.
"I can do it." Yu Fu clenched his hands tighter. He couldn't see with his eyes, but he could feel the presence of the detection system all around him. It was as hard to grasp as the wind, but it was nearby.
Shi Yan was clinging to a street lamp by the roadside when she noticed the tip of her finger slowly disappearing. Her voice was barely audible in the whistling wind. "There's not much time left."
The street lamp also tilted and fell down at this time. She subconsciously let go of her hand, but still fell to the ground with it.
The moment I fell, I first felt pain on half of my body, and then I realized that the shaking of the ground seemed to have disappeared.
Looking at the surrounding houses and buildings, there were no signs of collapse. The collision sounds coming from afar disappeared and everything became quiet.
"It's done." Gao Wenwen came over and pulled her up from the ground. He looked at Ding Can and the others, noticed the marks on their necks, and pointed, "You..."
Ding Can couldn't see his own, but he noticed that Yu Fu had the same data chain marks on his neck that he had seen on the original residents of the community.
As the database was gradually revealed, everything became easier: "It's okay, now I can fully feel the existence of the system."
As she spoke, she turned around and looked in a certain direction in the community.
A tall tower that did not exist originally suddenly rose from the ground. No light could be seen from it. It was pitch black, and in the moonlight it looked like a sleeping black monster.
Moonlight... Ding Can raised his eyes and looked at the full moon in the sky.
I had just looked at the starry sky the day before, but according to the current weather, the moon shouldn't be this round. Now there is a strange red in the deep golden color, which makes people feel a little creepy at the sight of it. Something is starting to become different.
Shi Yan watched the disappearing finger reappear before her eyes, and scratched her finger to confirm that there was nothing wrong: "So we are going there, right?"
"Gather everyone first." After sending the message for everyone to gather at the tower, a figure was seen appearing at the end of the path.
The once healthy community looked like it had been ravaged by war. The road was split in the middle, houses collapsed, and the remaining ones were tilted and crumbling.
Fortunately, even at night, the moonlight is extremely bright. Although it is not as good as the vision during the day, it is enough to see things dozens of meters away.
Shi Yan looked at the large number of people coming and asked, "Are they students?"
"Everyone should be heading to the tower from all directions now. These people look more like the original residents." Xia Jialian narrowed his eyes, trying to see the expressions on those people's faces.
Gao Wenwen swallowed and said, "It's a bit strange."
Just as I was wondering, I heard the sound of birds flapping their wings in the distance. A large black flock of birds was approaching like a dark cloud.
"System marks have been found on them before." Yu Fu said silently.
The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but everyone understood what it meant. These people and animals had already received notifications from the system, and their appearance at this moment was definitely not just to say hello, but to prevent them from approaching the tower.
As for other students in the community, the situation they face is certainly not much different from theirs.
Yu Fu then looked towards the darkness in the distance: "There are more than just them."
In Liangfeng Community, artificial intelligence was originally used as a publicity gimmick. There are machines and equipment everywhere in the community. Now it has become the most powerful weapon controlled by the system.
