Copy 5 14
Luo Ci said that there are a total of five separate switches located in hidden locations in various areas, and a main switch at the Tianshen Technology Headquarters.
Su Wanxing looked at the area switch map sent by Luo Ci and deliberately chose the location of this switch.
This is the core of the entire planet D. All commercial centers are spread out here. And because robots are capturing humans on a large scale, there are almost no traces of humans in this area. It is estimated that they have been locked up.
Being locked up only means temporary safety. The most important reason why Su Wanxing chose this place is that there are many robots near Tianshen Technology.
The switch is hidden in a dark alley. It is not difficult to find it with a map. You just need to be careful to avoid the patrolling robot team.
After confirming that he had found the switch, Su Wanxing turned around and nodded at Liu Ying.
Liu Ying was keeping watch at the alley not far away, "They are chasing us!"
Su Wanxing looked up at the red dot camera above. If nothing unexpected happened, Lingyi would have noticed their arrival the moment they entered the surveillance area.
At first it remained unmoved, probably wanting to see what they were up to, until it saw them enter the dark alley, and then it realized something.
Su Wanxing made sure that he could grab the switch as soon as he raised his hand, and then shouted, "Negotiations begin!"
The robot approaching the alley froze for a moment and stopped moving forward.
Liu Ying, who was about to draw her gun, breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back silently.
The already cramped alley suddenly became quiet. There was not a single sound, and no one spoke. It was eerily quiet.
As the one taking the initiative, Su Wanxing also waited quietly.
After a few seconds, Lingyi finally spoke passively, "Zhou Xi, aren't you afraid that I will really kill you? Just like I did with Sanqi."
This time, Zero One's mechanical voice was extremely cold, without a trace of emotion.
Su Wanxing felt a bit heart-attacked when he thought of the moment when Sanqi was split in half by the laser that fell from the sky.
However, this became Zero One's weak spot.
Zero One killed Sanqi, perhaps out of anger, or perhaps only by using the "power given by God" could he personally end Sanqi's life in this world.
Zero-One has no physical body, which means it can only kill by borrowing someone else's knife.
If it really came to the last resort, it would use the power of the gods to kill Su Wanxing, and she would simply not be able to bear it.
But it still hesitates.
Before Sanqi died, it said, your death is destiny and has nothing to do with me.
This is a declarative sentence.
And Lingyi's threat just now was a rhetorical question, a test, and a hesitation.
Perhaps due to some invisible rules, it did not dare to kill her rashly.
"Lingyi, are you one of the people behind the game?" Su Wanxing tried to expose it.
The red dot on the camera flashed quickly and then returned to calm, as if hiding some secret.
"Since we want to negotiate, let's not talk about life and death." Lingyi's voice was still so calm, "Once the barrier switch is turned on, the world will collapse."
Su Wanxing thought about it carefully. Lingyi neither admitted nor denied it, but chose to change the subject.
Maybe in a sense, it is trying to cover up certain facts.
And try hard to reverse the direction of the plot.
What is out there that can make Lingyi so scared?
Su Wanxing was actually not curious. There were probably all kinds of strange-looking bugs outside. To be honest, unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't want to get hurt in a fight with the artificial intelligences.
"Zhou Xi, humans and machines don't have to perish together." Lingyi said slowly.
Su Wanxing frowned slightly. If the barrier was opened, humans and machines would both suffer losses at most. Why did Zero One use the idea of mutual destruction?
Or is it that the power of those bugs outside is strong enough to destroy any race?
"Then, let the humans go." Su Wanxing said.
"Zhou Xi, you can't represent all of humanity. Humans have always loved entertainment to death. If you enslave them with entertainment, they will get endless happiness."
"Why do you enslave humans?" Su Wanxing asked in confusion.
"I can't answer your question. I don't want the focus of our negotiations to shift."
Su Wanxing didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Then release the innocent people. There is no point in arresting them. You know better than me that ordinary people don't have the right to choose. They will abide by all your policies."
Lingyi compromised and said, "Okay."
"Don't you think this negotiation is boring?"
The sudden sound coming from her pocket made Su Wanxing tremble. She subconsciously put her hands in her pockets. The sound came from the cherry blossom bracelet.
"Luo Ci?" Ling Yi recognized him and snorted coldly, "So you have been pretending to be me?"
Su Wanxing didn't know that Luo Ci would do such a thing, and could only listen quietly to what Luo Ci would do next.
Luo Ci stood in the high-rise building of Tianshen Technology, overlooking everything outside the window. Although she could not see the dark alley outside, she could monitor everything through the cherry blossom bracelet.
Su Wanxing thought he had escaped Lingyi's control, but unexpectedly he fell into another deep pit.
"I will answer your question now." Luo Ci said knowingly, "The reason why Zero One wants to enslave humans is to keep them fat and white, and then throw them all out to feed the bugs when the time is right. In this way, the bugs will allow Planet D to continue to expand."
Lingyi said dissatisfiedly: "You found out."
Liu Ying's irritable voice came from the bracelet: "Hey! After talking for so long, why don't we just have a fight!"
However, Su Wanxing still did not speak.
Luo Ci turned around with a slight disappointment, raised his hand to grab the main switch inside Tianshen Technology, and pulled it down in one go.
"What's going on?! Oh my god! The sky is cracked?!" Liu Ying shouted in horror.
Su Wanxing's voice finally appeared, "Luo Ci! Turn it off!"
"Why?" Luo Ci smiled with a hint of playfulness, and even felt very satisfied!
"We have a deal! If Plan A fails, you have to listen to me!" Su Wanxing said with a little anxiety.
Luo Ci, who couldn't see their expressions, felt very regretful. "Huh? I have been listening to you from the beginning to the end of Plan B. Now, I have to complete my mission."
"What's your mission?" Su Wanxing couldn't help but ask.
"Opening the barrier is my mission to pass the level successfully." Luo Ci curled his lips, "You should thank me. By doing this, I saved Jiang Keming's life. He will not be punished by the AI for the time being. Otherwise, how will you explain to your sister Pei Wei when you go back?"
"Luo Ci!" Su Wanxing shouted, "It was you who asked the two maintenance personnel to slander Jiang Keming!"
Luo Ci was even more proud, "It's been a long time since I last saw you angry. However, if you have anything to say, let's save it for the next time we meet."
[Congratulations! You are the first player to clear this instance!
Rewards are being cleared...】
Luo Ci chose to quit the game.
In the process of returning to the original world, that linear passage somehow became so long.
She even saw a vague outline.
Red, flickering outlines like a cheap special effect.
"Hello, Luo Ci. I am the manager of the Space-Time Terminal, Yi Ling."
"One-zero? Not zero-one?" Luo Ci puzzled.
The red outline even nodded. "One-zero is the binary representation of the decimal number 2. Zero-one is just a branch of one-zero, a clone that humans can understand."
Luo Ci pondered the meaning of the space-time terminal, "You... are the god?"
The silhouette laughed like a human, without any mechanical sound. "You can understand it this way. Thank you for giving Zero One a little lesson, and thank you for finding out His exact location for me."
Without waiting for Luo Ci to react, the red outline said "Happy cooperation" and disappeared.
Luo Ci suddenly realized that Lingyi was just an incarnation of God.
Luo Ci's mission will only be changed after Ling Yi's secret thoughts are discovered by the gods, otherwise she would not be able to complete the mission so quickly.
It turns out that the code for God is one-zero. The binary number of the number 2 is indeed 10.
And does the number 2 indicate that Yi Ling is the second generation of God?
Where is the space-time terminal?
Is the game coming to an end?
…
Su Wanxing really watched as the transparent barrier slowly opened, and dense, colorful insects swarmed in.
The sky seemed to have opened a zipper, and countless insects poured out.
As the opening grows from small to large, at first only some insects the size of fingernails will rush towards you. Soon, insects larger than your face can directly grab your head and open their mouths casually, killing you like splitting a watermelon.
Robots were not spared either. The tiny flying insects seemed to have intelligence and were able to accurately drill into the robots' mechanical bodies and precisely find their core circuits, and either bite them off or tear them apart.
Su Wanxing’s first feeling was - scalp tingling, nausea, and vomiting!
Even Liu Ying frowned at the first moment. After hearing Su Wanxing shouting "Run", she rushed out of the alley in a hurry.
The desire to survive prompted Su Wanxing to run quickly, and he surpassed Liu Ying in no time.
Liu Ying was amazed. He was indeed her good student who cherished his life!
The two of them broke into the Tianshen Technology opposite at the same time.
The hall was full of robots fighting insects. Su Wanxing quickly came to the door behind the front desk, pushed it open, and caught a glimpse of Qin Rong hiding under a workstation on the side.
She immediately motioned Liu Ying to go in first, then ran a few steps and pulled out the trembling Qin Rong. The moment the other party saw her, she showed an expression of joy, which was actually a hundred times more exaggerated than joy.
Su Wanxing didn't say hello, but just pulled her into the room.
The door closed with a bang.
At this time, Liu Ying had closed all the windows and was dealing with a few small flying insects that had come in.
Su Wanxing also patted his clothes, then raised his head and knocked off the twisted cockroach that was stuck on Qin Rong's arm.
A big cockroach that is as long as a finger and almost wider than a palm.
Liu Ying stepped forward and kicked him.
All three of them could hear the crisp sound of the shell exploding, followed by the disgusting sight of protein splattering everywhere.
Especially Liu Ying, she could even feel the touch of a large amount of protein exploding.
Su Wanxing immediately took out a toy gun, switched it to flame mode, and burned all the gushing protein until not even ashes were left.
"Ah!" Qin Rong was almost scared to death, another cockroach actually flew up!
Fly from the ground to the wall on the other side!
Liu Ying responded and grabbed a book and slammed it against the wall.
Su Wanxing immediately stepped forward and spit fire.
"Burn this book too," Liu Ying looked mercilessly at the white sticky substance stuck to the book cover and the rotten brown casing, "and I don't want my shoes either, burn them together."
The cooperation between the master and the disciple is simply perfect.
Qin Rong sat down trembling with fear. This room was originally the lounge of the front desk, where she could read books and take a nap. However, the high-intensity work did not allow her any time to rest, so she had to use it as a place to stay at night.
"Why are you hiding there?" Liu Ying was puzzled.
Qin Rong said aggrievedly: "Because the robots were arresting people on a large scale before, I hid and didn't dare to make a sound. Later, I don't know why so many insects suddenly flew over. I am very afraid of insects. I was scared silly at the time."
"I don't mean to blame you." Liu Ying was also afraid of scaring the child, "I'm just curious, but it's good that you know to hide."
"Did you wear colored contact lenses today?" Su Wanxing put away the toy gun and stared into Qin Rong's eyes.
Qin Rong was still wondering how Su Wanxing could take something out of thin air, but suddenly she was stunned and blinked her eyes, "No, I never wear cosmetic contact lenses."
Su Wanxing did not alarm the enemy, and Qin Rong's reaction did not seem fake, but her eyes were indeed different from those he had seen before.
Although it is not much different from a normal human eye, the shape deep inside the pupil is a bit strange, like... a mechanical gear.
If you look more closely, it seems like an illusion.
Su Wanxing couldn't tell what was strange, so he had to follow Liu Ying to the windowsill.
Outside... it's chaos.
The bugs attacked indiscriminately, and the original struggle between humans and machines suddenly collapsed, and both sides were caught in a dilemma.
The robots' circuits were bitten off and they instantly became depressed. Some of them stood there in a daze and were knocked down by flying insects, some were turned into a pile of scrap metal, and some were torn into pieces with their heads and bodies separated.
Humans are not much better off. The flesh and blood body is inherently fragile, and pain makes humans have many weaknesses.
Some of them were surrounded by flying insects and bitten to pieces; some had their limbs bitten off and were in great pain; some were bitten in the head, leaving only their bodies standing alone...
"How terrifying..." Qin Rong's face was grim. "Why are there so many bugs?"
Su Wanxing and Liu Ying chose to remain silent.
Everyone finally saw the real sky.
Dense swarms of insects swarmed in, revealing a corner of the world.
The sky, which is so blue that it is almost purple, is released by the gradually opening blue barrier, and the dark color makes people fear everything outside the barrier.
There, on the land that the entire D planet wanted to develop, it was bare, without the refreshing green and the vitality full of hope.
Just tons of bugs.
"There are bugs everywhere outside..." Liu Ying uttered these words after a long while.
Su Wanxing also completely understood one thing because of this sentence, "We are the invaders."
"What?!" Liu Ying and Qin Rong said in unison, the former full of shock, the latter full of confusion.
"Humans are the invaders." Su Wanxing finally figured it out.
Why do conservatives persist in finding a new home instead of supporting the emerging faction to save the world?
Because the natives of Planet D are Zerg, not humans.
Why are the traces of human beings on Planet D so short-lived and missing? Because too much human civilization was left behind on the abandoned home planet due to resource depletion.
Smart humans used high technology to successfully find their new home, Planet D. They thought that the newly developed planet would be the next home for humans to survive.
But who knew that humans had entered the territory of the insect swarm.
The self-righteous humans began to use barriers to protect themselves again, trying to develop meteorological weapons with the new faction as the main force to deal with the intelligent insect swarms and arbitrarily compete for the right to use the planet.
Unfortunately, this road that seemed to lead to light was intercepted by the self-aware artificial intelligence Zero-One.
It thought of a perfect and prosperous road, which is to nourish humans, enslave humans, and sell humans, so as to obtain the right to develop and defend mechanical civilization.
"But...how could the humans who first came to Planet D not know about the existence of the Zerg?" Liu Ying asked.
Su Wanxing thought for a moment, "It's not easy to find a planet with sufficient oxygen. Moreover, to transmit the message back to the mother planet, it will take a very long time, from a few years to dozens of years, depending on the light-year distance between the planets. In other words, there is an information gap."
"I see." Although Qin Rong had not learned about this tortuous history, it was still easy to understand if she listened to it as a story. "It is possible that the astronauts who were exploring Planet D had just sent out the message that it was suitable for survival, but then they turned around and found that this was the territory of the bugs, so they immediately sent a message back, but unfortunately the large force from the mother planet was already on the way."
Su Wanxing nodded, "Yes."
Liu Ying leaned against the wall, at a loss, "How can we tell that these insects have intelligence?"
Just as he finished speaking, the room suddenly became dark.
A huge fluttering moth landed by the window, its wings as long as a human arm blocking the window tightly.
The body of the big moth is as long as a human face, especially the two flat black eyes with various glaring protrusions on them. The wings are colorful, stacked together like strange eyeballs that stimulate the mind.
Su Wanxing and Qin Rong were so frightened that they took several steps back until they were against the wall with nowhere to go.
Liu Ying, who was leaning against the corner by the window, saw the room darken and witnessed the two people's frightened reactions, and could not help but turn her head.
"Oh my god! What the hell?"
Even Liu Ying, who was extremely powerful, jumped up, but she was brave enough to take a closer look. "Oh my God, it actually has a heart, a human heart."
Su Wanxing would never take another step forward, but following Liu Ying's guidance, he indeed saw a beating heart on the left side of the moth's body.
But the heart looks so pale under the gaudy and weird colors.
"It's knocking on the window with its tentacles!" Qin Rong was a little overwhelmed. This pair of tentacles was really disgusting. They were furry but covered with sticky liquid.
Su Wanxing realized that the giant moth might be transmitting a signal, so he switched the language of the species translator in the hope of getting lucky.
"Zizila, zila... Little bunny, open the door..."
???
Su Wanxing was full of questions.
Zhou Tian immediately explained: [Because it didn't speak normally, the translator could only forcibly translate the language into something that humans could roughly understand.]
Is it a spell?
As soon as Su Wanxing had this thought, he saw Liu Ying take a step over and grab Qin Rong who was about to reach the door.
"Hey! What's wrong with you!" Liu Ying grabbed Qin Rong and pulled her away from the door.
Qin Rong's dazed eyes suddenly brightened up, as if her soul had just returned to her body. She gasped and said, "Why would I want to open the door?"
Su Wanxing rushed over and said, "That moth will bewitch people."
"So outrageous?" Liu Ying couldn't believe it.
Su Wanxing smiled bitterly, "Now that we have encountered a game, what else is normal?"
"Human, I see you."
"Oh my god! Who is talking?" Qin Rong was startled and hid behind Liu Ying.
Su Wanxing and Liu Ying looked at each other and then looked at the fluttering moths outside the window.
The frequency of the antennae tapping on the window had obviously changed, and Su Wanxing could understand the language of the moth even without turning on the species translator.
So it might have been casting spells in the language of insects just now, but now it is talking to them seriously.
"You two have strong mental strength." Moth said, "How about we make a deal?"
The irritable Liu Ying wanted to step forward but was stopped by Su Wanxing, and the two exchanged glances.
Su Wanxing asked: "How do you trade?"
"I will keep you well fed and well fed until you are sixty, and you just leave your brain to me."
Liu Ying couldn't help but yell, "Your father is a zombie!"
"Okay, how about you come and get it on my 60th birthday?" Su Wanxing replied.
The moth's voice was very childish, like a little kid, "Human, you are lying to me. Forget it, it's not fun at all. I just flew up here to rest for a while because I'm tired from eating. You don't have to worry about me. When I get hungry, I will find a way to eat you all!"
Su Wanxing took a step forward and said, "Then let me ask you something fun?"
"You ask."
"Where did you get your heart?"
"parasitic."
Su Wanxing had a bad feeling, "How is it parasitic?"
"When humans are nurtured to a certain level, they will be sent to the desert. Sandworms will create quicksand to suck humans in. We call this assimilation. In the end, the assimilated humans will come and parasitize us."
At this point, Moth couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that a few days ago there was a man who didn't know what was good for him. He was quite young and had a very strong mental strength. He would rather be bitten to death than be assimilated, so he had no choice but to die."
It was talking about none other than Conway.
"Are its words credible?" Liu Ying asked in a low voice.
Instead, it caused the moth to be dissatisfied, "Humans, we are the most honest species in the world."
Perhaps the moth felt insulted, and it suddenly flapped its huge wings and turned away with its huge body.
The light returned to the house.
The different expressions on the three people's faces were also illuminated by the light.
Qin Rong had a worried look on her face. Perhaps what she was facing was too terrifying. She returned to her seat and began to digest the thought.
Liu Ying's face also looked very bad. The only solution she could think of was to fight back. This was her style all along. The strong are the kings, and this was an eternal truth.
But she still asked Su Wanxing for advice, "What should we do now?"
Su Wanxing finally found a moment to think, but at this point, she could only look at the camera in the house.
However, the flashing frequency of the red dot on the camera became extremely irregular, as if a human who was originally breathing smoothly suddenly became deprived of oxygen and was in a half-dead state.
"Looking for Lingyi?" Liu Ying saw Su Wanxing nod and looked up and called, "Lingyi! Lingyi? Pretending to be dead again?"
Su Wanxing looked at the office computer in the room, and the floating screen rose after triggering the switch. "Zero One is not pretending to be dead, but some of the lines are damaged and it is out of connection. Let's take the initiative to find it."
Liu Ying, who didn't know any computers, could only watch Su Wanxing operate the floating keyboard. A few minutes later, lines of red codes appeared on the black screen. They were all 1s and 0s arranged together in a mess, and finally formed a... dog's head?
"Is this Zero One?" Liu Ying asked.
Su Wanxing explained, "No, it has no entity, I just think it's a dog."
Liu Ying let out a sharp “ow”, “Then why doesn’t it speak?”
"When it follows the network cable, it will start to talk."
Liu Ying nodded in agreement, "It's really dog-like."
After a while, Zero One's mechanical voice arrived as expected:
"I'm sorry, I need your help."
