Chapter 48 Performers (15) Jinjiang exclusive authorization for the first release, guaranteed...
The two were ready for the adventure.
The robotic beings at the forefront were blocked by a sudden rise of huge solid ice. The ground crackled and formed layers of ice, covering the colorful surroundings and engulfing this world immersed in performance with sharp and cold white.
The audience's eyes flashed with red light of error, and the alarms sounded one after another. The solid ice slightly blocked the waves ahead, but soon broke again, with crisp shattering sounds dancing with alarms.
The Song sisters rushed backwards, ice clearing the way and plasma cutting beams penetrating metal. Two crazy killers leaped in the steel torrent.
A Ni no longer looked at the changing votes and the final ranking. She lifted the curtain and her steps as she rushed out were entangled by a thin vine. Ling Xiao grabbed her wrist and said, "It's too dangerous..."
"Are you trying to tell me not to go?" Ani raised her hand and pulled the vines away. "They are doing this for me."
"It's for their own lives, their destinies controlled by you." Ling Xiao corrected her, "If we leave them alone, they will be firmly in first place, right? There are tens of thousands of intelligent machines, how can they rely on their own strength..."
"So you've always been so rational and boring." Ani broke free from the vine, grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of her, "Have you ever thought about something exciting? Have you ever thought about giving up the unchanging stability for something? It seems that if anyone dies in front of you, you will take two steps back to avoid being splashed with blood."
Her eyes sparkled. Ling Xiao paused in silence: "I have always been like this, you don't just know me now."
"I know, so you just stand here and don't come over to avoid getting hurt." Ani quickly told him, "That's enough, let go."
The vines closed in, Annie shook off his hand, predicted the direction the two would escape, and quickly designed a shortcut to get in.
What on earth is she going to do? Can you save Song Zhen and Song Shuang from these crazy, malfunctioning audiences? I've already used it up, why do I need to -
Ling Xiao suddenly thought of it. She said, I am very short of manpower.
Just because of the lack of manpower, they are willing to risk their lives for two dangerous people who contribute most of the value. Such a level of irrationality is indeed rare. In the hunting grounds, hunters who cannot weigh the pros and cons often die halfway.
He looked at Ani's back, and the calm expression disappeared from his face. Ling Xiao stared at him for a few seconds, then quickly followed.
On the other side, at the forefront of the chase, Song Shuang grabbed his sister's hand and teleported away, shaking off the most aggressive group of intelligent robots that were rushing towards him from behind like a ghost. The scenes at both ends were forgotten, and Song Shuang's voice seemed slightly distorted at high speed: "Sister, I always feel that I will die more distinctively after helping her."
A thick layer of ice condensed and spread out from Song Zhen's palm, blocking the various attack weapons equipped by the robot tribe: "Between being blown to pieces and being torn apart, how are you going to choose?"
Song Shuang: "Anyway, they are all dead...hiss."
The intelligent robot that rushed over from the flank raised its gun and the laser beam suddenly lit up. Her figure disappeared on the spot and appeared more than ten meters away. A strand of her hair turned into ashes in the laser.
Song Shuang was still in shock, her soul not yet able to return to her mind. She murmured, "I kind of regret it." Before she finished her words, there were several more clanging sounds, and the sparks rubbed and blended with the ice, bursting out a dazzling burst of lightning and ice chips.
Song Zhen grabbed his sister and protected her behind him, raising his arm to freeze and block another hail of bullets that blocked their way out. The electromagnetically propelled bullets were swift and silent. After a slight muffled sound, they penetrated through the weak points in the ice layer and penetrated into the solid arm muscles of the genetic warrior.
The blood shone through her light-colored combat uniform.
Song Shuang's pupils trembled, and he had no time to reach out to protect the other person. In her sight, the rolling chain saw on the opposite side made a deafening roar, which was a destructive force that the combat uniform could never withstand.
Her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and when Song Zhen stood in front of her, all the thoughts in her mind suddenly turned blank. At the moment when the sharp edge of the chainsaw was about to hit him, a force suddenly emerged from nowhere, and Song Zhen's body was pulled to the other side.
The chainsaw hit the ground with a thump.
Song Shuang looked in the direction of the power and saw that the group of crazy intelligent machines behind Annie Chaoyue had appeared in front of him on the right without him knowing when.
Ani pulled Song Zhen out and said without hesitation: "Follow me."
"Go with you?!" The two said in unison, showing shock and surprise at the same time, but their bodies were quite honest and carried out the action immediately.
Annie chose another road and turned to a road leading to the backstage. There were not many intelligent spectators gathering from this direction, and the three of them easily broke through the blockade.
The red light of verification fell on Ani, and the verification began with the condition of "whether she disrupted the performance". The verification was passed, and her behavior was regarded as a farewell performance, with a strange green mixed in with the rising red data. The omnics ignored her existence and directed all their attacks at the "virus".
She led the two of them into the props backstage, rushing through the fire rings and magic props. After the sisters rushed into the curtain, virtual screens were projected in the eyes of the audience, as if they had made a temporary calculation as to whether they could enter the backstage - and then the torrent swept away all the obstacles on the ground, and anything that blocked their way was shot into sieves and torn into pieces.
Ani pulled out the whip from her waist and whistled. A dozen or so horrible monsters that had been quiet nearby raised their heads at the sound, and trained in circles according to Annie's instructions, randomly knocking over the props that had been piled up like a mountain. Amid the alarms of the intelligent machines and the screams of the monsters, she led the two of them out of the inner door of the performance center and shook off a large number of pursuers.
"How could you!" Song Shuang choked on the air, coughed, and forced out words, "How could you run away like this?"
The two of them knew the strength of her as the boss guarding the gate.
"I often run away." Ani answered without turning her head, with a hint of pride in her tone, "I'm very good at running away!"
The two sisters looked at each other, speechless and choking: "Are you often chased?"
"Of course, I've always been pursued by others since I was a child. Later, I met my brother in the Central District. He was not popular and was always pursued by-"
Ani paused, changed the subject, and said stiffly: "He is no longer my brother."
Song Shuang immediately remembered who she was talking about, and said helplessly: "Zero One Three can no longer be described as having bad relationships."
While the few of them were having a brief conversation, Annie broke into the guard room of the performance center with ease, blew up the energy compartment of the guard machine with one shot, rushed up to it and pinched the machine's identification camera with one fist, and violently stabbed the biological armor in to cut off the self-destructive plate.
It can be said that she has learned a lesson from her failure. Annie will no longer take lightly this fully mechanized thing that can be embedded with several explosive chips in its body.
She skillfully pried open the locks and turned off the surveillance cameras in various places.
Once the camera is turned off, the intelligent machines cannot communicate with each other and see each other's situation, just like a huge square with only a small night light on, like a blind man groping in the dark.
They will catch up much more slowly.
Only then did Annie's heart settle down. She immersed herself in cracking the access rights to the Guard Hall's regional network. Her hands danced rapidly on the virtual keyboard of the guard hall. Song Shuang came over, his eyes fell on the screen, followed her thoughts, and checked the coverage.
The guard hall's regional network covers the entire performance center.
Song Zhen was guarding the door.
The cracking process reached a fever pitch, with more omnics moving towards the guard hall.
The first enemy appeared. Song Zhen covered his wound and gathered strength in his palm, which could immediately cool down and create solid ice.
The enemy came within fifty meters and raised his gun. Song Zhen narrowed his eyes and stared at its footsteps. His body was like that of a nimble female leopard, and he could jump out and break its neck at any time.
Before the gun was fired, the vines spread on the ground suddenly entangled with it. When Song Zhen was completely unprepared, and the frenzied intelligent machine race was also unable to predict it, the green vines swam into the gaps in the machinery, and the powerful green stems and tender leaves took root and grew in the gaps, pushing open the tightly closed metal plates.
In the blink of an eye, the silk vines had entangled the machine, and the scattered shells and the fastened weapons were pried open by the soft and extremely tough vines.
Ling Xiao used this method to block the increasing number of enemies.
The numbers continued to surge, and the vines began to become overwhelmed. He barely held on for a moment, and before Annie raised her eyes, he quickly gathered the green vines, and a large piece of green brushed across the ground, and returned to the guard room and turned into a human form.
Ling Xiao wiped the corner of his mouth to remove the faint bloodstain that seemed to be caused by a knock of his teeth.
If they can't crack the access rights to the local area network, these machines will continue to eradicate the virus endlessly. Ling Xiao couldn't understand what Ani and Song Shuang were doing. He stood silently at the other end of the door, and was greeted by Song Zhen's eyes as if he knew him for the first time.
Both sides were injured, both internally and externally, and no one was in a good condition. Song Zhen's usually cold face showed a trace of shock. "You? No way, I met the most conservative contestant at this time...Did the devil burn your brain? Did she give you a drug or a curse?"
Ling Xiao licked the wound on his lips and said, "I want to ask this question as well. Is it because of a magic potion or a curse that she refuses to abandon you?"
Song Zhen actually tasted a hint of deliciousness from his life of slavery serving the great devil Ani. She quickly shook her head, so as not to be bought off so easily by Ani and become her willing slave: "Maybe we still need her... thinking this way, she is not so wicked."
Ling Xiao curled his lips lightly: "You are finished. The last victim whose principles were destroyed by her started with 'she doesn't seem that bad'."
"Who was the last one?"
"It's me."
The conversation about the patient's condition was interrupted by countless figures surrounding the guard hall. Song Zhen's scalp tingled as she watched. She rolled up her sleeves, and the snow-white bandage was wrapped around her wrists, covering her strong and muscular forearms.
"How long will it take?" Song Zhen held the leather ring in her mouth and tied her hair up into a high ponytail, and asked seriously.
Ani was so absorbed in cracking the code that she didn't answer. Song Shuang said on her behalf: "Fifteen minutes, about."
"You can only go left, not right." Song Zhen looked at the rows of intelligent robots and glanced at Ling Xiao who was frowning. "Otherwise, your sister's arms and legs will be broken here."
Song Shuang accepted the secondary screen and cooperated with Ani to overcome the strange viruses that were unexpectedly found in the program. The combination of these viruses and the Joker virus caused the programs of these intelligent machines to become severely corrupted, and no matter how hard the two tried, they could not gain permission to shut down the local area network.
Song Shuang began to sweat. She wiped her forehead and caught a glimpse of Ani's concentrated profile out of the corner of her eye.
Ani showed extreme concentration and seriousness, ignoring the outside voices. It was as if she had more than one brain working. Song Shuang, who was equally knowledgeable and had excellent grades, could only assist her, as she often could not keep up during the cracking process.
Song Shuang gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, I hate geniuses, and immediately devoted himself to the task of obtaining authority.
Five minutes later, the noise behind him was like a wave, and mechanical fragments shattered and flew around, hitting the tempered glass outside the guard room.
Ten minutes later, the alarm sounded very close, as if the gun-equipped weapon of the intelligent machine was raised behind Annie.
In twelve minutes, someone's blood gathered on the ground and formed a lake.
The intelligent mechanical body only has bionic skin on the surface, so the amount of blood loss will not be too large. The blood was mixed with metal fragments, shattered ice, and torn and scattered vine leaves.
Blood stained the sides of her shoes.
At the thirteenth minute, a familiar panting sound came from behind Annie, and Ling Xiao's slightly cool body temperature pressed against her back.
The flower wall spread out, and the scent of grass and trees filled the hall. He suppressed his instinct to flee because his forehead was burning hot from excessive blood loss, causing a fever.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, muttered to himself, and said, "I am the victim who has been most affected, Miss Ani."
He knew Ani was racing against time and didn't respond. Ling Xiao's vines were scarred, covered with bullet holes and laser marks, and the sound of seconds moving rang phantomly in his ears.
At thirteen minutes and thirty-five seconds, the last line of defense collapsed, and a robot gun was pressed against his forehead.
He watched the robot frequently reporting errors and pulling the trigger. All his desire to survive was gone. He had no time to savor the fear, and his only reaction was to close his eyes.
Silence for three seconds.
In these three seconds of silence, Ling Xiao thought about not being able to give the fruit as a gift to someone, and about his peaceful life. Even the despair of life and death seemed boring.
Three seconds later, Ling Xiao opened his eyes without his brain exploding.
The omnic that rushed into the guard hall froze in place, the red light in its eyes dissipated, showing "not connected" and unable to continue executing the program.
A hand came from behind, and Ling Xiao's waist softened instantly. He turned around and saw Annie looking up from the virtual screen, holding a tiny physical chip lock with two fingers.
The chip lock will pop up only after obtaining the local area network switch permission.
"I got it." Ani said, "The internet is down. Omnics are the cutest when they don't have independent consciousness."
Ling Xiao looked at her, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "...Ms. Ani."
"I'm here," she said. "Anything you want to praise me for?"
Ling Xiao smiled. He was still in shock, but he organized his words carefully and said, "If I were a little slower, I would have become a victim on your road to fame, one of the countless background boards. Miss Annie, even if you are extremely smart and trustworthy, and you never let me down, now is the time for you to praise me."
Ani was very satisfied: "I plan to reward you too, do you want to -"
Before she could ask, Ling Xiao said, "Hold me."
"Ah?" Annie was stunned for a moment, and he stretched out his hand and got into her arms without waiting for her to react.
Ling Xiao placed his chin on her shoulder, and the injured vines wrapped around her softly and weakly. He closed his eyes again and said, "Just let me hold you for a few more minutes... Miss Annie."
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he felt fear and dependence within audible range of his breathing. Annie felt as if a light feather had tickled her chest, causing an intractable itch. She ignored the Song sisters nearby and went straight over to kiss him.
Before the kiss fell, a light screen appeared in front of her, interrupting Ani's thoughts.
The screen displayed the Angel Eyes supervision mark, and then stopped at the voting page at the moment of closing the regional network. The real-time voting was displayed as follows:
Crown Circus, Ani, 14,677 votes.
First.
Ani stared at the number. After the regional network was shut down, the number stopped changing and completely solidified. She glanced at the second place, and saw that there was only a few votes between the two.
The light screen continued to change, and three targets for completing the hunting mission appeared on it.
There are nine hunters left.
The Joker virus has not been eliminated.
Received first place in the voting. 【Completed】
Rankings are being updated...
Ranking updated to: Galaxy no.2120, Ani.
Click here to set the teleportation target and leave the hunting area.
After a brief delay, this screen also appeared in front of other players. But apparently everyone else got only ranking updates and teleported out of the equation.
Ling Xiao turned it off without looking closely. He gently wrapped his fingers around her limbs again and asked softly, "Where are you going..."
He can't live without his Qiao Mu. At least now, he doesn't want Ani to leave him.
But she is not a tree, she can grow legs and run away. Ling Xiao could only ask her like this nonchalantly, as if the answer was not important to him.
Ani looked at his serious, emotionless face and said deliberately, "Of course I want to go home."
Ling Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to ask her the interstellar coordinates of her way home. But he turned his head away again, holding her hand tightly, trying to hide his mistake: "Maybe, maybe... we will go the same way. If you are not interested now, I can also pretend that you never said it before. Miss Annie, we have done our best as companions to each other."
What is this little mouth talking about? He doesn't really think it's pure friendship. Ani stared at his lips, not listening to a word he said, and leaned over: "So where are your vines climbing?"
He froze and looked down, seeing several uncontrolled vines lifting up the corners of her clothes and climbing up slowly, seeming to be very interested in the area around Ani's waist.
Ani held his face, lowered her head and kissed his lips, and whispered in between the entanglements: "Come back with me, I will teach you...how to plant trees, how to plant flowers, how to pollinate, I will teach you how to bear fruit."
Lingxiao's snow-white ears turned red.
It's ridiculous that the vine tribe was taught how to grow flowers by humans. However, he was distracted by this ridiculous flirtation and took her hand and brought her to him: "...You set the coordinates."
Annie held him and set the coordinates, and suddenly she looked at the Song sisters next to her as if she had a guilty conscience.
Song Shuang treated Song Zhen's wound. Both of them were still breathing and would not die for the time being. As soon as Ani's eyes passed by, Song Shuang pointed to the place where the chip was implanted in his neck: "Big Devil, you finally remembered us?"
"I have to go back and make some arrangements." Ani winked at the two sisters, "and then I'll contact you. I'll buy you warships and mechas when I get back. Don't disappear. It all depends on you whether you can have a good fight with the Night Owl and teach my brother a lesson so that he'll be scared and avoid me when he sees me!"
"...The phrase should be," Song Zhen's forehead veins throbbing wildly, and he corrected, "Let's have a fight?"
-
At the same time as Ani said "Night Owl" in the live broadcast room, this flashy command ship was docking at the port near the tracking area.
"Boss," the second-in-command smacked his lips at the wanted list, "Are there any villains more rampant than us? This Mo Wan has been committing crimes around here one after another, and the United Police Department is a bunch of idiots, and they couldn't even find a trace of him."
Or maybe their group of star pirates has the means, murder and arson, and professional skills. In a short time, the area was narrowed down to the vicinity of the research institute, and the fact that someone was covering up the crime was confirmed.
But... sheltering? Zero One Three had a serious problem with the Science Association, and Lin's joining them made him even more annoyed. This mermaid is really not a good person. She claims to be noble and has all the bad habits of a mermaid aristocrat, but she protects that virtuous man who is good at serving women.
He was so annoyed that he ground his teeth, and his sharp teeth made a clicking sound. After a long while, he said in a nonchalant tone, "I am really surprised that these two people can get along so well."
The second-in-command didn't dare to say a word.
Ling Yi San turned his wrist, his sharp eyes and eyebrows showed a layer of intimidating hostility: "Kill them all, they are all bitches. ... Bah, they are not worthy of being bitches."
The marks on his body gradually faded, but the content could be seen through his flesh, as if it was directly branded on his bones.
The second-in-command looked down at the crack in the ground and thought to himself, I'd better find a crack to hide in. The boss's mental state is really worrying.
Ling Yi San casually pointed at a subordinate and said, "Come with me to find someone. The others surround this branch of the Science Association and block the surrounding star tracks. If there is any accident, just open fire. Even if a disobedient mosquito flies out, it will die. Oh, there is one more."
He thought of the vine and uttered a few words with a gloomy look in his eyes: "What do you mean by blossoming and bearing fruit? He deceived the little girl with all his tricks. Go and detect all the coordinates sent by the authorities after the hunting is over. Search them one by one and find him for me."
Ling Yi San paused, speaking word by word, with hatred so strong that every syllable was cold and sharp, as if he could scrape the bones and suck the marrow out of a person and stab him to bleed profusely in an instant: "I will tear him alive."
