Xing Bi's answer made Qiu Shi couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him.
"So you want to kill me?" Li Feng said while looking at Qiu Shi.
"I said, if you don't die well, you will die in my hands." Qiu Shi said, his hands were still shaking a little and he was angry.
Li Feng didn't say anything anymore. He walked over and took Director Wu's cup, poured some water on his hand, wiped the blood off his face, and stuffed a piece of paper into his nose, which was still dripping with blood.
Then he nodded to Director Wu: "Continue."
"I want to contact Xiao Lei," Qiu Shi said before Director Wu spoke, "right now."
"Those people sent by the military to assist in the prevention," Li Feng said, "will take over the work of cleaning up the infected people later, so don't worry."
Curator Wu cleared his throat and was about to continue talking when Qiu Shi asked again: "Why am I not infected?"
"You are a gift from heaven..." Li Feng walked towards the sofa.
"Be careful what you say." Xing Bi spoke.
Li Feng looked at him.
"He will also beat you." Xing Bi said.
Li Feng turned to Qiu Shi and sighed: "Still researching. If you ask me now, even if I don't die soon, I can only say that you are gifted."
To be honest, Qiu Shi didn't believe a word of it.
But he knew very well that under the current situation, Li Feng would not tell him the truth at all.
"Qiu Shi, let me introduce to you the method of your partnership." Curator Wu finally waited for the opportunity to speak.
"Whatever." Qiu Shi leaned on the sofa, stretched out his legs and raised his head. He was very sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Processing so much information in such a short time was a bit powerless for him who had always lived a simple life.
More of a despair, he found that he seemed to be being pulled by some force, sinking into a bottomless whirlpool.
The most direct murderer was the man standing opposite him, leaning against the wall with a piece of paper stuffed in his nose.
Qiu Shi wanted to go over and kick the piece of paper into Li Feng's head.
Director Wu pressed the remote control, and a picture full of gestures was projected in front of him: "This is a control gesture, which can control... the mobility of the biochemical body..."
"Huh?" Qiu Shi still raised his head, but raised his eyebrows.
He immediately reacted within two seconds. Just using a gesture to control the biochemical body was probably as effective as those wandering doctors in the outer city who were shouting and jumping around to treat people.
So he sat upright and looked at Director Wu: "By what?"
"Passed..." Director Wu looked towards Li Feng.
"Through a control system." Li Fengpian started.
"What control system?" Qiu Shi asked, "Where is it? How can it capture my gestures?"
Li Feng stopped answering. When Qiu Shi looked at Director Wu, Director Wu's eyes quickly glanced at Xing Bi.
"What do you mean?" Qiu Shi suddenly smiled and leaned back on the sofa, "Do you think I can't beat him, so you let him say it? I'm going to beat you two."
"The control system has been put into your body." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi's whole body froze for a moment, and after a while he closed his eyes. His whole body seemed to have been drained of strength: "Let's all die."
"Qiu Shi." Li Feng called him, "The matter is too urgent, there is nothing we can do."
"I'm going to the dungeon, you can kill me," Qiu Shi said softly, "I won't do this or any other task. Let's all die together. I'm not that great."
"Let's go out first," Li Feng said, "Calm down."
Qiu Shi closed his eyes and didn't move or speak. He heard footsteps heading toward the door, then going out and closing the door.
The room was very quiet, and no sound could be heard. This room was hidden deep underground, and it felt like it should be deeper than the entire dungeon.
The dungeons in Yuncheng are also very deep underground. The more serious the crime, the deeper they are locked up.
Qiu Shi had been thinking about what the bottom layer would be like.
It seems that this is what is happening in front of me, and I am in it.
"Don't you need to breathe?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Yes," Xing Bi's voice sounded, "You can't hear it because your ears are not that good."
Qiu Shi opened his eyes: "What are you still doing here? Are the hidden guards unworthy of advancing and retreating with the masterminds?"
"I'm not in danger of being beaten if I stay here," Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi paused and laughed: "You still have a fucking sense of humor."
"Somewhat." Xing Bi said.
"Are you really not a human?" Qiu Shi tilted his head and looked at him, "The biochemical body that I understand is not like this. The one that broke my bones last time is more in line with my imagination."
"That one didn't break your bones last time." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi stared at him for a long time, then tilted his head and said, "Fuck."
Xing Bi said nothing.
"You really look like a living person." Qiu Shi said.
"Level 1 biochemical bodies have emotions, thoughts, and are infinitely close to humans," Xing Bi said, "but they are not human beings. Biochemical bodies below level 1 will be more in line with your imagination."
Qiu Shi sneered.
This "classification setting" is indeed very human. Biochemical bodies must also be divided into levels. High-level ones have thinking and emotions, and low-level walking zombies are enough.
"It's scary to face a non-human body that is almost the same as yourself," Xing Bi seemed to see through his thoughts, "The less the better."
"Does the first-level biochemical body still have the ability to read minds?" Qiu Shi said.
"No, this is the first question I think about." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes again: "That's it. The heart-to-heart talk ends here. If we continue talking, I won't participate in this mission. Let Li Feng find another person."
"If the initial order is to visit the nest first, then prove that you will not be infected and are the most suitable candidate for the task, and finally tell you that you need to implant the control system," Xing Bi spoke slowly, "Go and save this city. People, including your brothers of course, will you still refuse?"
Qiu Shi said nothing.
...The first-level biochemical bodies are really terrifying, no wonder they have to limit their number.
So that control system probably exists because of this fear.
Qiu Shi thought for a moment and raised his hand.
"The system is not activated," Xing Bi said. "The control of the partner can only take effect during the mission, and the biochemical body is out of control or there is an obvious error in judgment."
"Your uncle." Qiu Shi jumped up from the sofa, walked to the door, and opened the door. Outside were Li Feng and Director Wu who had no time to hide.
"Change me to a biochemical body that doesn't have the ability to read minds," Qiu Shi supported the door frame, "If you can't change it, send me to the dungeon."
"Biochemical bodies do not have this ability," Director Wu said. "Xing Bi is not an alien, and he has no supernatural powers. He just has sharper insights and more experience than ordinary humans..."
"Substitute someone," Qiu Shi said.
"There is nothing left to replace," Li Feng said. "The only first-level submarine we can use safely is Xing Bi."
"Then change to a second-level, third-level, fifth-level, or eighth-level rocket launcher," Qiu Shi said. "The remote-controlled rocket launcher will also work."
"The remote-controlled rocket launcher can be given to you," Director Wu said, "but Xing Bi is still the only partner you can choose."
Xing Bi was right. If it were in the order he said, Qiu Shi would basically not refuse this mission. All his anger came from deception.
Perhaps for these people in the inner city, this is not even a deception, just like the refugees from the outer city who were taken to the lair to build the wall, thinking that they had got a well-paying job, and finally died silently, No big deal, just tools.
Yuncheng does not have a noble purpose in accepting refugees. To maintain the normal operation of the city, to ensure that all kinds of survival materials are sufficient, and to allow the residents of the inner city to live a peaceful life, all of these require people.
They need enough refugees to serve as production tools.
"Have you remembered all these gestures clearly?" Director Wu said, "It's okay if you don't remember them. You can do it later..."
"Remember." Qiu Shi retracted his thoughts, but his eyes never fell to the projection.
Director Wu's voice became a little stern: "Please be more serious. This mission is about..."
Qiu Shi raised his hand impatiently and made several gestures: "I already remembered it just now, and I also remember the corresponding commands. This thing can't be used casually, and there is no need to talk back and forth about other things."
"You have a good memory," Director Wu smiled, "Your job is to provide data to your partner, including the environment, dangers, and mission objectives. You are the one who helps him predict dangers and provide precise strikes. There is no such equipment.”
"Why not?" Qiu Shi narrowed his eyes.
"This is... a way of cooperation," Director Wu said, "out of the trust that the partners have in both parties."
"It's probably out of distrust," Qiu Shi said, "and when I unilaterally believe that he cannot be trusted, I can restrict his ability to act."
"This is why you need to receive training," Li Feng said. "Based on historical experience, this is the safest and most effective way."
"Historical experience," Qiu Shi responded quickly, "that is to say, it was not like this at the beginning, right."
Li Feng said nothing and just glanced at Xing Bi.
"Yes," Xing Bi said, "there is a small chance that the biochemical body will lose control and violate its oath to mankind."
"What oath?" Qiu Shi turned to look at Xing Bi.
"Never betray." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi fell silent.
After a while, he smiled and said, "You are indeed not human."
"So what you need to know is that your partner has thinking ability, emotions, likes and dislikes, joys and sorrows," Li Feng took off the piece of paper in his nose. Before he finished speaking, blood dripped out again, so he had to take another He stuffed it with a pile of paper and said, "You can tell that he has likes and dislikes. In the end, the principle he will never violate is that he will not harm humans."
It was obvious that time was tight. Qiu Shi was taken to the training ground before he had even sorted out the relationship between his partners, and he was even less clear about the so-called system operation.
This is an uninhabited land composed of rocky peaks and scattered dense forests.
Qiu Shi and Xing Bi squatted in a closed carriage and were sent directly to the edge of the venue. Li Feng's voice came from the earphones: "The task is very simple. Find and clean up four infected people and two third-level biochemical bodies. Pay attention to the biochemical bodies." It's not from Cloud City, it's an intruder and it's hostile."
"Can you hear it?" Qiu Shi asked Xing Bi.
"No." Xing Bi replied.
"He can't hear it," Director Wu's voice sounded. "Now that your positioning system is on, it can sense the movement of objects three hundred meters in a circle with you as the center. You need to determine which ones are targets."
A picture like an aiming frame appeared in front of Qiu Shi. There was a ruler, some areas of different shades, and several points with different distances and moving speeds. There were eleven in total, which meant that apart from the six targets, there were five more. Irrelevant stuff.
Without giving him more time to think, Li Feng's voice came again: "Start."
Xing Bi opened the carriage door and jumped out.
"Fuck | Your ancestor," Qiu Shi had no choice but to jump out as well. The scenes in front of him overlapped with each other, making him a little dizzy. "What the hell is this? How do you see it?"
"I don't know," Xing Bi walked towards the rock in front of him, "I can't see it."
"What's your use? Partner." Qiu Shi could only look at the moving points while comparing the terrain in front of him, and at the same time judge whether the areas of different shades were obstacles and what kind of obstacles they were.
"I should ask you this now," Xing Bi suddenly rushed towards a huge rock and climbed to the top of the rock. Immediately after, he threw an infected person from the top of the rock. Xing Bi jumped and stepped on it when he landed. Breaking the infected person's neck, "Partner."
There is a coordinate next to each point, which changes as the point moves.
Xing Bi had already entered the forest, beyond the range of his naked eyes. Qiu Shi found that he could see his position in the frame in front of him. After making sure that there were no suspicious targets around him, he stopped and began to quickly study these points.
Then the coordinates of the first target were reported.
The point representing Xing Bi began to move, and after more than ten seconds, the point of the first target disappeared.
"What is it?" Qiu Shi asked.
"...a pig," Xing Bi said, "a flower."
"No need to tell me the color." Qiu Shi said and reported the next coordinates.
After the target disappeared, Xing Bi reported the target's situation to him before he could ask: "Infected person."
"Okay," Qiu Shi frowned and stared at the frame in front of him. He didn't have time to report the coordinates again, "Biochemical body at three o'clock."
Li Feng crossed his arms and looked at the picture returned on the screen with a smile on his lips.
"The response was pretty quick." Director Zhang stood next to him.
First, he picked out an unknown target for cleaning, and then used the data characteristics of this target as a basis to determine whether other targets were part of the mission. After two times, Qiu Shi was able to directly determine the type of target.
As expected of a corpse collector who has been living the worst life outside the city, he has a strong adaptability.
"It seems that I chose the right person." Director Wu said.
"There is no one left to choose from," Li Feng said, "We are just lucky."
Although he could already tell what these dots were, it was the first time after all. For Qiu Shi, the pictures floating on the cluttered background around him seemed a bit difficult. When he noticed a biochemical body approaching him quickly, It is judged that the distance is less than one hundred meters.
Looking at the distance between Xing Bi and himself, it was almost two hundred meters. I didn't know if it would be too late.
"Come back!" He pulled out the knife stuck in the side of his boot and stared at the direction in which the biochemical body was rushing.
A black figure rushed out. Qiu Shi bent his body slightly and picked the angle of attack.
To his surprise, this biochemical body was a female, with long hair tied up that was particularly conspicuous.
Xing Bi's point in the picture approached at a higher speed, and then appeared behind the biochemical body.
The biochemical body was kicked down, thrown forward several meters, and fell to the ground more than ten meters away from Qiu Shi.
Her face was turned sideways towards Qiu Shi, and she could clearly see that it was a young and somewhat childish face, and her eyes staring at Qiu Shi were somewhat hollow.
Xing Bi's movements were crisp and clear, he jumped up, fell down, and hit her on the back of the neck with his knee. Her eyes that had been staring at Qiu Shi slowly dimmed, and finally turned into pitch black.
The task was completed in half the allotted time.
Qiu Shi and Xing Bi returned to the car.
"It's perfect." Li Feng's voice came.
"Turn this thing off," Qiu Shi said, "it makes me upset."
The frame in front of his eyes finally disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief when his vision returned to normal.
The car was probably traveling on a hidden path, and it was shaking a bit. Qiu Shi leaned on the car and felt an indescribable feeling.
He has cleaned up a lot of infected people, and it is not difficult, and there is not much pressure on his heart. Most of the infected people have a very different form from when they were human beings. They are basically unrecognizable, with ulcerated and blackened skin, and blood-red skin. Eyes, all this represents a fatal danger.
The tragic scenes he saw when collecting the bodies of those who died due to attacks by the infected made Qiu Shi angry and decisive when dealing with the infected.
But the biochemical body that was easily killed by Xing Bi in front of him just now made him feel a little uncomfortable.
I don't know if it's because she's a woman, or because she looks the same as a healthy person, or because Xing Bi cleans up infected people just as neatly, and even used the same trick he wanted to use on Li Feng but failed.
"Where did these biochemical bodies come from?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Captured," Xing Bi said, "There are quite a few second- and third-level biochemical bodies in Yuncheng. These two are both level three, so it's not difficult to catch them."
Qiu Shi looked at him: "To you, what are these two biochemical bodies? Are they the same kind?"
"It's the mission goal." Xing Bi replied.
"Oh." Qiu Shi responded.
"Level three biochemical bodies do not have the ability to have emotions through learning," Xing Bi said. "They have no thinking, no joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and there is no pain when being cleaned."
Qiu Shi frowned: "Don't fucking observe me all the time. Guessing people's thoughts gives you a sense of accomplishment."
"No," Xing Bi said, "These are just questions I thought about when I started thinking about it."
"You weren't able to think at the beginning," Qiu Shi looked at him, "Now that your brain is so good, you must work hard to get closer to humans."
Xing Bi smiled and said nothing.
"You were produced...you left the factory...you..." Qiu Shi adjusted his words for a long time, and finally used the one he was most accustomed to, "How long have you lived?"
"A long time," Xing Bi said, "certainly more than twenty-five years."
"That's nonsense," Qiu Shi thought for a while, "What's the earliest thing you remember?"
Xing Bi was silent for a while: "I don't have all the memories. In order to ensure 100% control, some of my memories will be locked."
"Can you lie?" Qiu Shi asked.
"No." Xing Bi said.
"But you will answer the wrong question." Qiu Shi said.
"Yeah." Xing Bi nodded.
Back under the exhibition hall, Qiu Shi entered the laboratory for the first time.
Xing Bi entered a transparent glass cover, and the staff began to check various indicators on him. It sounded like they had to do this every time he came back from a mission to ensure that nothing happened to him.
Qiu Shi was also taken into another room, where Director Wu was the only one, but with several cameras facing him, he could feel that there was a pair of eyes behind each one looking at him.
"How does the mission feel?" Director Wu asked.
"Not very good." Qiu Shi said.
"Do you have a comprehensive understanding of your partner?" Curator Wu asked.
"No," Qiu Shi said, "I have known Director Li for ten years and never imagined that he could deceive me like this. How can I understand a biochemical body that is 'infinitely close' to humans in a few hours?"
"You completed this trial mission very well," Director Wu said. "It exceeded our expectations."
"Then your ability to predict is not good." Qiu Shi said.
"Now I judge that you can carry out the first mission perfectly," Director Wu glanced at the time, "We will set off in five minutes."
"What?" Qiu Shi was a little unbelievable.
A second-level biochemical entity appeared in the outer city. The locations of the two attacks were very close to the edge of the inner city. The purpose of this biochemical entity was probably to enter the inner city. Several checkpoints of the City Defense Department were ready.
Qiu Shi and Xing Bi were still sitting in the closed car from before. He didn't know what Xing Bi was thinking. He just felt at a loss. These people didn't even give him a chance to get angry, so he had to concentrate quickly. Start thinking about this first task.
"The areas where the target appears have been sealed off," a serious man's voice sounded. "Ordinary people are prohibited from entering, but time is tight, and it is not ruled out that there are still people staying. Pay attention to screening. If it affects the mission, we can clean it up together."
"Who are you?" Qiu Shi asked, frowning.
"Director of the City Defense Department, Zhang Qifeng." The man answered.
"Director Zhang will be involved in monitoring this operation." Li Feng's voice came.
"Whatever." Qiu Shi didn't pay much attention to him. The ghost frame had appeared in front of him, and it was much more complicated than the previous training.
"Clear the area," Xing Bi finally said as he jumped out of the car and gave instructions on the mission. "First exclude the civilians."
"Yeah." Qiu Shi jumped out of the car and saw everything in front of him. He almost couldn't see the road clearly.
Their current location is outside the No. 4 Peak Checkpoint in the inner city, going down the rocky path. It is an old road that has not been maintained for a long time. Normally no one would come up. This is within the patrol range of the checkpoint, and the City Defense Department will monitor approaching people. The method adopted by the refugees and residents of the outer city was to drive them away by shooting. If they were injured, they were considered lucky. Qiu Shi collected the corpses here as well.
Xing Bi had already started to move forward along the road. Because the scope of the mission was large, Qiu Shi had to move with him. After a few minutes, he was finally able to slowly understand the display in front of him.
Rocks, cracks under rocks, streams…
"One hundred meters ahead," Qiu Shi stopped and reported the coordinates. "Two people, suspected to be civilians, did not move."
Xing Bi moved forward almost at the same time and quickly disappeared from his sight.
Qiu Shi stared at the frame in front of him without daring to relax, and ran towards the suspicious person. This was not training, and the target biochemical body was not level three. He had to stay near Xing Bi. If the target suddenly appeared, he could Let Xing Bi have enough time to return.
"Civilian." Xing Bi's voice came.
Qiu Shi rushed forward. Although Director Zhang's "clean up together" premise was that it would affect the mission, he didn't know how Xing Bi would judge whether the mission was affected.
"Let me take a look." He chased.
Xing Bi did not kill the civilians, just knocked them unconscious.
But these two civilians... Qiu Shi was stunned when he saw the two people lying in a stone nest under a very hidden rock: "What the hell..."
Hello everyone, I am Li Datou.
And that little skinny shrimp.
Next to it was Li Datou's little butterfly pet that was damaged.
"Know?" Xing Bi asked.
Qiu Shi didn't speak, he hadn't thought about what to say yet.
Xing Bi probably didn't use too much force, or Li Datou shouldered the beating. At this time, he woke up with a groan and slowly tried to raise his head.
Xing Bi slapped him on the back of the head, and Li Datou rushed down and fainted again.
