Tang Rui's communications department wasn't much better off.
She wasn't originally an employee of the communications department and wasn't very familiar with the equipment. Now that the equipment was being controlled by artificial intelligence, she panicked even more: "I don't know what happened, everything just suddenly became uncontrollable..."
Qiao An'an: "Then turn it off!"
Chi Xiaoyu stared at the out-of-control launch pad: "It can't be shut down! Tian Mingbo hacked into our system! To be precise, he entered the system and merged with it!!!"
As Chi Xiaoyu spoke, Tian Mingbo's face appeared on various screens in the capital.
What terrified everyone the most was that Tian Mingbo not only projected the images onto various large screens in the capital, but he also projected them onto large screens in other safe zones.
The reason everyone knew that Tian Mingbo's image had also appeared in other security zones was because the voices of the heads of other security zones came through the communicators: "What on earth is going on? Why is even our system malfunctioning?"
Tian Mingbo said smugly, "You can't beat me!"
Qiao An'an was unconvinced. She refused to believe that a human could lose to a cold machine. She took out a long sword from behind her back that could cut through iron like mud and chopped off all the buttons on the control panel with one stroke.
Tian Mingbo can hack into artificial intelligence systems.
Then she'll destroy the entire system.
She didn't believe that Tian Mingbo could cause trouble without electricity or Wi-Fi!
Sure enough, after she chopped down the control panel, Tian Mingbo could no longer control their vehicle. However, without a positioning system, it was also difficult for them to lock onto Tian Mingbo's helicopter with missiles.
Chi Xiaoyu looked at the large helicopter that was about to go beyond the range of the shot, pulled an arrow from the quiver, and said to Chen Zhou, "Put the accelerator to the floor and get as close to the helicopter as possible."
Ye Jing: "You're not thinking of shooting down a helicopter with an arrow, are you? Do you think you can even get through it?"
Chi Xiaoyu drew her bow and aimed at the helicopter: "No need to shoot through it, just hit its rotor."
Li Jianguo also felt that Chi Xiaoyu's action was a bit exaggerated: "That's a large helicopter, not a paper airplane!"
Chen Zhou also said, "It uses a six-bladed propeller. Even if your arrow hits it, it won't damage the propeller."
Only Qiao An'an had complete confidence in Chi Xiaoyu.
She gave everyone a look that said, "Little Fish is pretty good."
Chi Xiaoyu didn't care what Chen Zhou and Li Jianguo were saying. Instead, she drew her bow and shot an arrow, but before shooting, she disconnected the string connecting the arrow to the quiver.
As Chen Zhou and Li Jianguo had predicted, the arrow was broken into several pieces by the rapidly spinning propeller and posed no threat to the helicopter.
Just as Li Jianguo was about to say, "See, it's useless," the propeller suddenly stopped.
To be precise, the propeller was tangled in something.
The helicopter suddenly lost power, and Tian Mingbo tried to salvage it. The helicopter's rotor was still spinning, and it even emitted black smoke due to excessive rotation, causing it to plummet from the sky.
It exploded with a "bang" upon landing.
Everyone on board the helicopter perished in the flames, along with the helicopter itself; there were no survivors.
Tian Mingbo's face also disappeared from the large screens in the capital.
Upon seeing this, everyone on the small missile vehicle, the survivors on the rooftop, and the survivors from other safe zones who had witnessed the entire passage thanks to Tian Mingbo's connection all breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jianguo couldn't help but give Chi Xiaoyu a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
Shen Zhou asked in confusion, "Your arrow was clearly broken by the propeller, how did you do that?"
Qiao An'an answered for the quiet Chi Xiaoyu: "The fletching on Xiaoyu's arrows contains very fine nanomaterials. She originally designed it so that one end of the nanomaterial is connected to the quiver and the other end to the arrow. When shooting, the nanomaterials curled up behind the fletching will pop out. Then, pressing the quiver will automatically retract the nanomaterials, so the arrow will return to the quiver. You don't have to worry about running out of arrows after you've shot them all."
She just untied the nanomaterials from the arrow case, so that even if the propeller breaks the arrow, it won't break the nanowires, which are many times harder than steel.
The thin threads wrapped around the propeller as it rotated.
Just as everyone was celebrating that they had finally brought Dr. Yu and his group to a complete end, Tian Mingbo's face reappeared on the large screen in the capital, which had been turned off.
He looked very smug: "You think you can eliminate me by blowing up the helicopter? You're too naive. My memories are now integrated into computer memory and can be copied and reborn infinitely!"
I will make those who stand in my way pay the price!
As they were talking, Tian Mingbo opened the security door in the capital.
The user on the console cannot close it.
Soon, zombies rushed in from outside the Imperial Capital Safe Zone, and Qiao An'an and the others had no choice but to retreat towards the Imperial Capital Building.
However, Tian Mingbo had already closed the exits on the fifth floor.
They can't even get back to the building.
Not only that, Tian Mingbo also closed the door leading downstairs from the top floor, trapping the survivors who wanted to go back on the top floor. When they saw this, everyone pounded on the door desperately, but all the doors in the building were made of very sturdy materials, and they couldn't open them no matter how hard they tried.
There was no food or water on the top floor, and it was exposed to the sun without any shelter. If the door remained closed, everyone upstairs would die within three days.
Tian Mingbo wants to kill them all.
Qiao An'an didn't quite understand Tian Mingbo's talk of infinite replication and rebirth, so she could only cast an inquiring glance at the top student Chi Xiaoyu: "Is he really as invincible as he says?"
Chi Xiaoyu replied, "Digital life exists in computer memory. Individual digital life can live and develop freely when computer computing resources are plentiful."
However, without resources, it can only exist in a virtual environment created by humans, unable to change the real world; it can only be considered an electronic pet that provides emotional value, a device that consumes energy.
Li Jianguo and Ye Jing didn't understand what Chi Xiaoyu was saying at all: "Can you speak like a human being?"
Qiao An'an understood: "What you mean is that we can cut off the medium through which it can spread!"
Tang Rui and the other people in the safe zone said they simply couldn't understand the proposal.
Because if all media are cut off, then all current networks will have to be terminated, even satellite positioning systems will have to be shut down, and many scientific documents stored in shared centers will be lost: "Our civilization will regress by nearly a hundred years."
Qiao An'an retorted, "Choose one: civilization regress or be killed by digital civilization. This is the Imperial Capital safe zone now; the next safe zone will be another!!!"
