Doomsday Wonderland

Lin Sanjiu had never realized so clearly as at this moment that she was in the midst of a replayed memory. .しwx520. Lok Man Novels

The puppet master was too seriously injured and soon passed out after being sent to the inner city.

As he lost consciousness, the world suddenly seemed to lose its color, leaving only empty shelves. Although the data body created a city based on the puppet master's memory, during the period when he was unconscious, In time, without the support of his memory, many vivid details no longer exist; due to the lack of a large chunk of real memories and feelings to fill the world, sometimes Lin Sanjiu even feels like he is staying in a plastic model city inside.

She looked at the crowd in front of her and sighed again.

In just a stroll of less than ten minutes, this scene had appeared before her eyes several times.

This part of the inner city has been completely transformed into a soilless plantation garden; half of the citizens in the inner city have devoted their labor here. It was lunch time, and people standing in groups of twos and threes on the streets and outside buildings all had paper bags or lunch boxes in their hands—but they were just holding them, no one moved them.

People were holding their lunches, standing motionless with dull eyes, their faces full of numbness and confusion. Their chests were still rising and falling with breathing, and occasionally a cough came from the crowd; but there was not even a hint of sparkle in their gray eyes.

It was as if their souls had been taken away, leaving only a group of walking zombies.

Lin Sanjiu walked through the crowd, secretly amazed at the ability of the data body.

Their capabilities are truly amazing. Through a person's memory, they restore and create a completely real world, creating these almost real people.

It's just that although they programmed people's bodies, they failed to program their thoughts and souls. In places beyond the reach of the puppet master's memory, Lin Sanjiu could often see these dull, motionless people. Most of them were created just to become human backgrounds in the memory of the puppeteer——

Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu frowned slightly as she looked at the zombie-like people around her one after another.

This scene made her feel... so familiar, so familiar that she had a vague guess in her heart.

Once an idea takes shape, it is difficult to get it out of your mind; Lin Sanjiu thought about it while walking quickly towards the governor's residence absentmindedly.

The Governor's Mansion used to be the office and residence of the Chief of the Nine Cities City. The facilities were well-preserved and the place was large enough, so the four puppet masters and his team were placed here to recuperate. Lin Sanjiu had to run here several times a day, but as soon as she walked to the door of the governor's mansion today, she was startled, knowing that the puppet master was awake.

At this time, the brown wooden door was wide open, and the whole building came to life. The urgent voices and footsteps of the medical staff were flowing in and out of the governor's mansion like running water; a nurse poked his head out and shouted to the few people outside: "The commander and the evolvers are here! Chief Commander, please There will be a meeting soon. He is still weak and cannot wait too long..."

Not only the puppet master, but also the chief executive is awake?

Taking advantage of his status as an evolved person, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly stepped into the governor's mansion.

The chief executive not only woke up, but the first thing he did after waking up was to summon all the evolutionists and staff in the city into his bedroom. When Lin Sanjiu arrived, the 40-square-meter master bedroom was already full of people, and there were even many people standing in the corridor because they couldn't fit inside.

Inside and outside the house, there was a tense silence. No one knew what the chief executive was going to say, so everyone's hearts were hanging in the air; the sounds of swallowing saliva and clearing throats spread a trace of nervousness.

The brown-skinned, old-man-like commander of Yun Shou Jiucheng was standing respectfully beside a bed with his deputies and entourage, whispering something; a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale complexion. , was sitting on the head of the bed, with his hands folded on his legs, silently listening to the commander's report - I guess he was the chief executive.

This is a man with an expression as serious as steel.

As a leader of the Yun Shou City Department for eleven years, even though he looks haggard and has wounds on his face, he still cannot hide his calm and hard temperament; As he swept through the house, each person felt as if he saw himself.

He looked so determined and as indomitable as a mountain. Before he even opened his mouth to speak, someone started sobbing quietly - "Sir, we finally see you again!" I don't know who sobbed and shouted. .

The chief executive looked at the crowd, his eyes shining brightly, and he spoke slowly.

"...When I hid in the underground sewers and watched my companions and citizens die one by one due to hunger, disease, and pain, I did not expect that I would still be able to see the light of day again. one day."

"A city has been completely occupied, but I have survived for so long. I never understood before, why I haven't died yet? But today I know. You are still alive, Yunshou Jiucheng is still alive, I am still useful, I can Lead everyone to continue to live and stand firm! For this, I simply cannot express my gratitude in words."

He seemed to have been seriously injured before, his voice was hoarse and his confidence was very weak. People in the room couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they were afraid of missing even a word - "So, I hope we can all remember these three heroes. Without them, everything today would be impossible."

A burst of loud applause suddenly erupted in the room. Lin Sanjiu squeezed forward a few steps and saw clearly - it turned out that a group of puppet masters, wrapped in bandages and plasters, were sitting in the room like three mummies. On the sofa in the corner.

"Yan Qiu, in order to delay our time, she endured the radiation for two full minutes. When we escaped back, her skin was dry, but every pore was bleeding profusely. To this day, her There were countless red bloodshot eyes all over her face and body - as a girl, she didn't even cry about it."

"Gao Lang, dragged me out of a sea of ​​extremely hot fire. Because I was too weak and couldn't move, he put his power on me, but he was burned into half a burning man. Even so, he He still led us to escape from a group of law enforcers, and even knocked one over."

"As for the last one, I think everyone is familiar with it. He was originally a branch of City Mayor Yun." The chief executive slowly looked at the young man among them, and said in a hoarse voice: "...His ability is still there. Immature, but without him deciding to come to rescue me and without him risking his own ability to control the law enforcer for thirty seconds, none of us would be here today. And he paid half of his face for this. The cost – half of his facial nerves were destroyed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's applause and salutes suddenly started again, lasting for a long time.

Although they were tightly wrapped in bandages, from the way the three children lowered their heads, they seemed to be embarrassed.

"Now that I'm back, I promise you that all your suffering will not be in vain." Every word spoken by the Chief Administrative Officer was filled with an unshakable confidence, causing the faces of everyone in the room to turn red quickly; he As everyone held their breath, his voice gradually became louder: "I have the city defense code! I have the understanding of the enemy! I also have the combat ability! I ask you, are you willing to trust me again to protect the clouds?" Jiucheng, will you give your lives to me, Yunqian?"

The answer is of course self-evident. Waves of "yes" came one after another, and the roof was lifted almost instantly; among the excited roars of the crowd, there were also many loud cries - these staff members, including the commander, were originally They are just civilians with little knowledge; they are pushed out of the market because of the crisis, and they bear countless pressures, but they can only wait tremblingly for the day when the city will be destroyed and people will die. Now as soon as the chief officer returns, Yun Shou Jiucheng suddenly has hope and can survive!

After all, the chief executive was just recovering from a serious injury, and he soon showed signs of physical exhaustion. Everyone hurriedly left, but Shang Zi was somewhat reluctant to leave. Fortunately, what reassured them was that Yun Qian, as an evolver, had very strong recovery ability. The day after the speech, he managed to hold on and took over the defense of Nine Cities; after he entered the city defense password, the blue-gray stone wall Suddenly there was a bright light, and the metal city door that had not been moved for an unknown period of time finally slowly closed to the floor with a heavy creaking sound.

"Even if a hundred law enforcers come now, they can't break through our city wall!" - Although this sentence sounds a bit arrogant, after seeing the city defense system of Yunshou Nine Cities with his own eyes, even Lin Sanjiu also I have to admit: Even if it were her to attack the city, I'm afraid she would have suffered heavy damage long before reaching the edge of the city.

During his eleven years in power, Yun Qian developed a vigorous and resolute style. Within a few days, he rearranged various tasks such as defense, production, and reconstruction. Under his leadership, Yunshou Nine City quickly took on a new look, making Lin Sanjiu almost unrecognizable. Unlike other busy people, she has only done one thing during this period, which is to live secretly in the attic of the governor's mansion and closely observe every move of the young man named Ayun - even herself I also feel like a peeping tom.

After all the general affairs were on track, Yun Qian summoned all the evolvers in Nine Cities and issued a new task to them.

"Although the Nine Cities are now safe for the time being, this is not a long-term solution." Yun Qian sat behind his desk and said to everyone with a solemn expression, "Our city defense system is a legacy from the Golden Century. In the final analysis, it is still Designed and manufactured by artificial intelligence. If it is not law enforcement but some engineering-specific AI, there will be ways to enter our system and paralyze it."

"What?" Everyone was shocked and asked: "What should we do?"

Yun Qian leaned on his seat and exhaled, seemingly unsure of what he was going to say next. His strong black eyebrows frowned tightly, and after a while, he slowly said: "I have an idea, maybe it's crazy, but I think it's worth a try. I hope to send all the evolvers to a city Steal artificial intelligence data and equipment and bring them back to Nine Cities."

This sentence undoubtedly caused an earthquake in the room - every living human being probably has relatives and friends who died at the hands of law enforcement; if it were not for respect for him, some people would probably turn their backs and leave on the spot. . Yun Qian allowed everyone to protest loudly and make noise for a while, then waved his hand to stop the noise in the room.

"Our enemy, UUkanshuwww.uukanshu.net, has never been artificial intelligence. You have to understand this!" He said solemnly, making everyone look ugly: "Artificial intelligence has no self-awareness, they are like a It just depends on whose hand it falls. Our enemies have guns, so we must have them! Only in this way can we fight against them!"

"But we are evolved—"

"How long can you survive in front of the law enforcers?" Yun Qian responded coldly, and the room suddenly became quiet. He glanced at the room, thought for a few seconds, raised his head and said decisively: "I have decided on this matter. I just ask you, are you willing to obey my dispatch?"

Yun Qian has never heard a word "no" in the Nine Cities - this example has not been broken today. After only two hours, he had already produced an action plan; a total of seventeen evolvers shouldered this heavy task and left Yunshou Nine Cities quickly, so fast that people could not even react.

Among the evolvers who had not left in the entire Nine Cities, the only ones left were Ayun and his party, who needed to recover from their injuries, and Lin Sanjiu, who had hidden their whereabouts.

The puppet master's memory slipped into darkness at an irreversible speed three days before the first evolver returned to the city. (To be continued.)
