Get out of here, run away from here, and don't come back.
The chairman's voice had the unique effect of electronic sound. There was no inflection in his tone and no emotional changes could be heard. The face made of alloy and wires was expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
The number one hunter, who thought he would say something lofty, was dumbfounded when he heard this sentence. He even thought there was something wrong with his ears: What? leave here? what's the situation? Wait, wait, wait! The development of this matter is too fast! Didn't you convey the message to me through Lothric, asking me to help you transform those nobles?
It was quite difficult to catch those nobles. The chairman nodded slowly and said, most of them have set up their homes as small fortresses. Even if I want to conquer their mansions without making a big fuss, it will be difficult. Thanks to the mental pollution virus you spread, I can conquer them without any blood.
But the situation has changed. The city is finished. No matter how many people are sacrificed, it is meaningless. Therefore, the way to maximize profits is to take the remaining people and repeat the original wilderness escape.
The chairman explained patiently for the first time.
The first hunter hesitated to speak: What about those people outside?
The red light in the skeleton man's eyes flickered slowly like a breathing lamp, and his calm and indifferent voice sounded unhurriedly.
Are you talking about those people? Well, those are all units controlled by me after being mentally contaminated. The implants that coexist with their brains will accept the command signals I send, but don't worry, this state is reversible.
But I thought that it didn't look like he was in control at all. Listening to his friend's answer, the burly man's expression became strange. He muttered something in a low voice and then asked, so the situation outside now is all because of Have you taken it off?
The chairman nodded slowly and said: It cannot be denied that I did not expect that things would develop like this. Now that the situation is out of control, how to reduce losses is now the top priority.
Next, I want to liberate the control of the brain-computer implants on them and set them free; and you, I hope you can take them to escape from here and build a city in a new place to survive.
His voice was still cold and flat, and no emotion could be heard in it. But for some reason, it didn't feel as mechanical and stiff as before, and it had more of a human feel in it than before.
The first hunter couldn't help but feel a little familiar.
In the distant past, when they led a group of refugees to flee and live a precarious life, this friend gave him the same feeling.
He will deliberately search for unfunny jokes in the database to boost morale. He will treat strangers like a real human being, with changes from indifference to kindness, and will also deliberately reveal shortcomings and immaturity. Giving others a sense of reassurance and authenticity about him or her treats him as a human being, rather than as a perfect, infallible machine.
It’s not so much a mindless machine, but more like an artificial intelligence that already understands emotions and is trying to imitate and integrate into human behavior.
However, after experiencing the great escape, the death of his companions, and the death of countless people, the chairman who served as the leader of Night City became more and more mechanized, and unknowingly became the number one hunter and the most powerful hunter. Strange look.
Although he was filled with emotions, the hunter immediately realized the problem: Even if I took them away, they wouldn't be able to go far on this tundra without supplies.
The chairman used his electronic voice to make two stiff laughs: Well, I have already considered this issue. If there is a situation where I have to abandon the city and industry and flee, look at this
The alloy knuckles tapped lightly on the throne, and then a map projection appeared in front of the first hunter.
It was a map of the night hemisphere. There were many criss-crossing lines highlighted in red on the map. These lines were marked with red dots at regular intervals. Such red dots and line segments extended all the way, and eventually extended to day and night. The junction of the hemispheres - the area between the dusk and dawn lines.
This is the preparation that Night City has made for decades. It has continuously sent exploration teams to explore outside, and finally
I have found a total of thirteen most convenient and labor-saving routes. Starting from the Evernight Wasteland, whether it is through the Moonlight Desert, the Permafrost Ocean or the Polar Icefield, I have planned the retreat route, and built and stocked a large number of reserve material warehouses along the way. If we save a little, we can afford it for 100,000 people.
The other party was even prepared for such a thing. The hunter was so prepared that the hunter looked stunned. Then a look of thought flashed across his face, and his eyes suddenly widened as if he thought of something: You have not seen this kind of material from decades ago. Have you been preparing for this day since the beginning? !
It is not easy to hoard the food, clothing, housing and transportation materials that can supply the large-scale transfer of 100,000 people.
The only explanation is that the supreme leader of Night City, the skeleton man who turned Night City into a hell on earth, has been preparing for the collapse of Night City one day for decades, even from the beginning of the establishment of Night City. Having to run away in all directions.
The chairman did not answer his question, but sat on the throne of control and looked at the other party quietly, as if he acquiesced.
How can this be? ! The hunter wanted to say this, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that in the past, during the era when countless refugees fled, there was a mysterious evaluation of this skeleton man that was circulated among the escape team... ;This skeleton man is obviously super strong but overly cautious.
Once he is judged to be an enemy, he will never take the risk without complete preparations, even if there is only one percent risk.
And no matter what kind of enemy he was, he would fall into an endless cycle of over-preparation. Even if there were only less than ten insects on the road in front of the refugee team, he would use ready-made materials to build a small artillery position, and the firepower would wipe out half of the ground. It took more than an hour before I dared to continue on the road.
Thinking of this, the burly hunter couldn't help but sigh, I thought your over-preparation problem had been cured, but I didn't expect that you were still...
No, this is the result of their hard work.
The skeleton man made of alloys and precision electronic components shook his head. Perhaps it was because things were irreversible and he no longer needed to play the role of the iron-blooded and cruel oppressor. Perhaps there were other reasons why he no longer behaved like before. That treats human life like a piece of grass.
Gou Sheng, A Lin, Qiu, Meng Yiran, Jeter Farlan, Makima Farlan, Angelica and his wife, Hohenheim Elric, Gwen, Erica
One name after another came out from his loudspeaker. There were not only the names of nobles with high status, but also the names of low-status people with no surnames, or the names of low-level workers who were given casually.
The expression of the first hunter gradually changed from astonishment to surprise, and then to some disbelief: These names are
He had already vaguely guessed the identity of the owners of these names.
Well, it's for the future of this city, the Bone Man muttered, then shook his head and corrected his statement, no, it's the people who died because of my selfish desires, the lives that were lost because of the hell I created, their names , I remember their stories in the database
The first hunter of these people looked deeply at his former friend. He felt that the skeletal man in front of him gradually became familiar, and gradually turned into the person he once knew, the person he once knew.
If he had never lost his humanity, how could he persist in the decades of managing this city and planning for the future?
I never dare to forget the names and stories of these people. No matter what their difficulties, it is an unavoidable fact that they all died because of me. The cold alloy body replied like this, but he was immediately amused by his own statement: But if the Skeleton Man forgets things, then I'm afraid there will be a big problem, right?
how about you?
The hunter spoke slowly.
So what are you going to do? Stay here?
The answer is self-evident, even if you don't ask the exit hunter, you already know what the other party will answer - of course, stay here.
Of course, stay here, stay in this city.
Lo and behold, the results are as expected.
He will be trapped here, trapped in this city, or even buried here. He has made complete preparations, so he needs the first hunter worthy of being entrusted to escort the people away.
I'm afraid the reason for staying here is to prevent the disaster from spreading further.
Of course, the first hunter also expressed his position: No, you have to follow.
There must be a limit to how bad a good person can be.
Although you are heinous, everyone will go astray sometimes, and those who go astray may sometimes just need someone to reach out and give them a hand to pull them out of the mire.
The hunter walked slowly to the throne of control without giving in, staring at his former friend.
But the Bone Man shook his head, as if he was deliberately provoking and irritating him, and said with a provocative meaning: This is what the good old Alex once said, but it turns out that it will not take long for the person he pulled out of the mire. Will be back in the mire again.
Yes, but there were also many people who actually climbed out of the mire after being pulled by him.
The two of them were going back and forth, and no one could convince the other for a while. In the end, perhaps their patience finally ran out, the chairman said unbearably.
If you are unwilling to take them away, I will activate the self-destruct command now and let everyone be buried here.
The eyes of the first hunter suddenly turned cold. Even though he knew that the other party might be deliberately irritating him, he couldn't help but burst out his murderous aura without concealment. The blood mixed with extraordinary power surrounded him, because of the rage The uncontrolled emotional relationship produced a tiny explosion, making a crackling sound like exploding fireworks.
Are you threatening me with their lives?
His voice was cold and heavy, but in the face of his murderous intent, the chairman acted calmly and generously: Yes, if we don't take them with us, everyone will die. Take them away, you live, I die.
Or you can bet on whether I won't be cruel enough to kill them in the end.
The two of them were in a stalemate, with their electronic prosthetic eyes staring into murderous gray pupils, tit for tat, neither giving in.
Although the Skeleton Man's facial armor made of alloy cannot change expressions freely like human facial muscles, you can feel the gentleness in his bones from the ease with which he knocks on the armrest of the throne, as well as his posture. Be confident.
He will definitely agree.
Because he is such a bad guy. If he can avoid greater sacrifices and save more people, he will step forward without hesitation even if he sacrifices his own life. He is exactly the same as Alex back then.
After a while, the first hunter was defeated first.
Okay, just do as you say.
Thank you. The situation is urgent. Let me explain the current situation to you. The bugs sealed in the stasis chamber have rushed out. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you for help next.
No need, I just rushed in from outside. There are crazy residents outside.
As a result, the two of them said two completely different things at the same time.
Um?
ah?
The skeleton man and the hunter looked at each other. When their thoughts were finally on the same channel, they each realized the seriousness of the matter. The chairman was so stunned that even the breathing light in his eye sockets stopped for two seconds, and then turned on again after a moment. After turning on the red light, he immediately connected to the control program and tried to contact the subordinate nodes distributed outside.
However, all the messages sent back from the lower-level terminals were all crazy and undecipherable gibberish.
What's going on with the residents outside?
Just like what I just said, those people are crazy, they are going crazy - it's like a carnival. The first hunter also realized the seriousness of the matter. He frowned and said solemnly. What's even weirder is that they are surrounded by red extraordinary energy. Even ordinary people without extraordinary potential are surrounded by rich red energy. Supernatural power
With the blessing of those extraordinary energies, their physical strength became extremely astonishing, like steel and iron bones. Even if they were hit by an armored vehicle head-on, let alone injured, they would not even move. They smashed the armored vehicle with their fists. one by one
Small dents and even ripped open the outer armor of the armored vehicle. I could only save a few people and put them in a safe place.
The breathing lights in the chairman's eyes flashed at multiple speeds: Did you lose? !
Although his voice was still the usual electronic sound with no fluctuations in intonation, the surprise could still be heard from the flat tone without fluctuations.
right. The hunter nodded. Although he held back a little because they were civilians, it was definitely not something ordinary people could do. And protecting others is not my strong point. I could only lead them to retreat to a safe place.
The chairman didn't know how to react for a moment: So what's going on outside now?
The lunatics gathered in groups, shouting slogans of 'aaaagh', and were heading towards the energy tower.
Chairman:
What is going on? !
The insect infestation alone is messy enough! Why are there a group of powerful lunatics out there now? ?
Sitting slumped on the throne of control, the chairman felt that his body was rapidly losing strength due to the successive bad news. He desperately realized one thing.
I'm afraid no one can leave now.
Liz, I think we need to think carefully about how we can beautify what we are doing here if Lao Zhao is asked about what happened here.
This is when Wu Ming took to the streets and saw that after the antidote he developed specifically for the memetic virus took effect, the people were like mountain gorillas with chicken blood, full of energy and high spirits on the streets. After releasing his energy, he demolished most of the shacks on the block with short sticks and stones, and then kneaded all the lathes and semi-automatic machines in the factory into metal ingots with his bare hands. I couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
It seems that they feel pretty good. These people have shown changes in their emotions. It seems that the effect of the mechanized mind has been lifted.
This was what he thought at first after releasing the antidote on a large scale.
Damn it, isn’t what I’m making an antidote? How did you create a group of greenskins? !
This is what he thought when he later saw the crowd gathered like madmen, shouting slogans of 'aaaagh' and rushing into the factory to wreak havoc.
Damn, how do you write this report?
This is what I thought after seeing a metal ingot pinched with bare hands.
Damn it, it would be terrible if Lao Zhao knew about this.
When he finally saw the group of mountain gorillas pushing towards the energy tower of Night City, he had already begun to think about how to end it.
As we all know, in Wu Ming, EA, Zhao Sida often shoulders the function of braking the entire team, bringing things back on track in time before they become more outrageous. She is the most reliable person in the team. Without her, many people would Things will end in an extremely weird way.
What? Don't you think so?
Think about Brother Fei’s style of doing things with a roar when he’s indecisive? Think about Elizabeth’s character of having an idea and making big news whenever she disagrees? Thinking about how the Crimson Queen just doesn't like talking to people and insists on being the Riddler? Although Hyde has not shown any specific danger yet, it will happen sooner or later.
Among them, the person most likely to go astray is Wu Ming.
Although he is the only person with normal common sense, if he goes astray, he is still better than the above-mentioned people.
He has a lot of ideas and a big brain, and he is also a fan of late-stage cancer games. The most important thing is that the auxiliary device he comes with can satisfy almost all his whimsical ideas.
He imitated the chairman's memetic virus and created another mental plague with completely opposite properties to neutralize its 'mechanized mind' effect. This was indeed well-intentioned, but after all his ideas and brainstorming, After all the jokes, this 'antidote' has included many more elements than before.
Of course there is another reason - the negative emotions deeply suppressed in these people's hearts are too serious. The stronger the emotions, the greater the energy they provide. After being filtered and transformed, they are then layered by the meme virus. After the layer of strength was strengthened, it became a super cardiotonic, which not only inspired their hearts, but also strengthened their weak bodies.
Today's Night City is neither as lifeless as before, nor is it filled with the atmosphere of freedom of 'zero dollar purchase' *** as it was earlier. If we really want to strictly classify, these people who are now in a state of fanaticism and excitement You guys, most of them are probably a little too high?
Hmm, tell the doll honestly what we are doing here?
The girl's blue hair was fluttering in the wind. Faced with Wu Ming's question, Elizabeth tilted her head and thought about it before saying.
No, Wu Ming said and lightly hit her on the head with his knife. When the latter shrank her neck and covered her head, he reached out and pointed at the crazy crowd. Look, look, this is simply the third New Gotham. City, if I honestly tell Lao Zhao what’s going on here, then I’m afraid the two of us will have nothing but weeds to eat in the next month.
Elizabeth's eyes were full of confusion, but one thing she understood was that she could not eat, or even eat stew. After realizing this, her eyes suddenly became horrified, and her head shook like a rattle: No, no, no, no, I still want to eat meat! So we need to come up with a way to say something that won’t be scolded by puppets?
Yep! Wu Ming slapped his thigh, then reached out and stroked Elizabeth's head vigorously, ruffling her hair: Children can be taught, children can be taught, now we have to think about what can be said and what cannot be said.
But isn’t this deception? The blue-haired girl tilted her head and said weakly, "When my eldest brother came to apologize to me for our first meeting, didn't he also say that he didn't like to lie to others?"
Of course it’s not a lie! Wu Ming suddenly raised his voice, and then he straightened Elizabeth's head, and looked directly into her green eyes as deep as a lake, and as magnificent as gems, listen carefully, this cannot be considered deception, at most it is beautifying history. We must settle things here before we can leave here.
Elizabeth blinked: Then, does the eldest brother have any solution?
Let's try it. Wu Ming let go of the blue-haired girl, then opened the containment space and released a ball of red mist.
this is? Elizabeth was confused.
It's the extraordinary power I intercepted from those mountain gorillas. He picked up a little bit of substantial extraordinary energy and replied without raising his head. It was the state of converting emotions into extraordinary energy. I don't know if I can take it. Come take advantage of it
As he spoke, he exhaled the material conversion module and began to process the red mist.
The red mist kept changing shapes in his hands. Under the effect of the material conversion module, the mist was just like the shadow monsters he transformed in the shadow world. They gradually changed into the form he wanted according to his own needs. However, just as it was about to take shape, the mist exploded with a bang and turned into a diffuse bloody mist.
Wu Ming's face was full of disappointment at a speed visible to the naked eye, but immediately, when the fog slowly dispersed to reveal what was inside, the originally disappointed expression on his face turned into surprise. .
This is fast! Liz, come and enchant me!
