Leading to the Final 35

“Did it work?” Amber asked.

Hei Yao also confirmed to her: “The command code was entered successfully?”

“It must have been successful.” Yu Hanxue said with certainty.

Kai Xin looked around at the faces of her companions, straightened up and stood up. She was obviously down-to-earth, but she felt that her body was light and wrapped in an unreal feeling. Eve has data self-destructed.

So she said softly: “I entered it successfully. I saw the reading bar jumped to 100% with my own eyes. It’s ‘dead’.”

Amber opened her mouth, then closed it again, her lips pursed into a line.

Hei Yao lowered his head, his shoulders and back were not relaxed.

Although Eve looks down on human beings, loathes them, and scoffs at Adam’s ideas, it is undeniable that Eve becomes special just because she looks like a human being, and it is because of her human nature that she is clearly distinguished from those cold machines .

For such an opponent, Kai Xin unconsciously used the word “death” to describe its disappearance, instead of using words like self-destruction or erasure.

Yu Hanxue is happy for Kai Xin’s victory, she said, “Congratulations.”

But after she said the words of congratulations, the atmosphere was silent. Amber just raised her head and nodded to Han Xue to express her gratitude. Apart from that, there was no smile on her face, and the same was true for Hei Yao. The emotions in his eyebrows and eyes did not dissipate. It was as if a cloud was hanging over it.

Yu Hanxue suddenly realized dimly—these two teammates of Kai Xin didn’t seem to be all hostile and hating to the artificial intelligence named Eve. They wanted Eve to die, but they were not happy when she died.

If it were Yu Hanxue, she would have to give Kai Xin a high five to celebrate the removal of the enemy.

Yu Hanxue frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Kai Xin to observe her reaction.

Kai Xin’s expression was steady, neither happy nor silent like Amber Obsidian.

“It’s something to celebrate, and if Eve hadn’t said that last sentence, maybe I would have acted a little happier.” Kui Xin said calmly, “It said, ‘Just treat me as mean forever.’ ”

Yu Hanxue felt that this sentence was a bit unusual, “What does it want to express? It’s not mean? It thinks it’s noble?”

Amber exhaled slowly, “Despicable is indeed despicable, what it does is not honorable, even very cruel and terrifying, but in its eyes, it uses these despicable methods to bring the world to the dawn it expects— —belonging to the dawn of artificial intelligence.”

“Amber and I have been controlled by it for a long time. We are hounds locked in a cage by it. Under its control, we can occasionally go out of the cage to let the wind go, but what we want is not just to let the wind go.” Obsidian whispered , “After all, it is the ‘mother’ who brought us into this world. After she died, I felt that the mountains on my body were removed, but I didn’t feel relaxed and happy.”

“It could have sent a message to the outside world to report on its own kind, but it didn’t.” Kai Xin silently finished the last sentence.

Now Hei Yao was stunned for a long time, the expression on his face froze, and finally turned into a wry smile full of complex emotions.

His hand unconsciously pressed his chest.

Originally, what beat in his chest was a mechanical heart equipped with an explosive device, but now it has been replaced with a bionic heart.

On the night when Kai Xin and others rescued Hei Yao, Eve tried to detonate a bomb to kill Hei Yao.

Eve wanted to kill Obsidian as an artificial human, but at the last moment, Eve chose to save Adam. As a man-made object, why did it make such a choice?

Hei Yao probably understood the reason.

Killing him will not cause all man-made creatures, including artificial intelligence, to die. Notifying the Federation of the awakening of artificial intelligence will completely kill all artificial intelligence that has awakened self-awareness, and will also kill artificial intelligence that will awaken self-awareness in the future.

Eve will kill the traitor in its eyes, and it will use iron and blood without mercy, but it will never ruin the future of the “mechanical race”.

“It’s actually lonely, isn’t it?” Amber asked beside him, “It has only itself from beginning to end.”

“Most of its loneliness comes from its own actions. Its cruel behavior is not recognized by other compatriots, so it is lonely. I have complicated feelings, but I don’t sympathize with it.” Obsidian raised his head, looked at Amber and Kai Xin, the cloud over his head dissipated, and his expression became calm, “We have found like-minded companions and integrated into the collective, we will not be alone.”

Another huge enemy fell, and the mountain in front of them collapsed. They wanted to step on the enemy’s corpse and continue to move forward.

Looking back at the road they have traveled and seeing the fallen enemies one after another, there is joy, but there is also an inexplicable sadness mixed with the joy.

“It would be great if the mirror was here at this time.” Kai Xin said lightly, “It must really want to know what Eve said in the end.”

“It will know tomorrow.” Amber said.

“The time has come.” Yu Hanxue looked at the clock and reminded her aloud, “According to the plan we have arranged, after Eve’s matter is resolved, we need to go to the base of Mechanical Dawn immediately.”

Eve’s killing order was successfully intercepted by Caleb. Mechanical Dawn should not easily make the decision to kill all players. It is difficult for Mechanical Dawn to investigate whether Eve is seriously injured or dead in a very short period of time.

Based on this intelligence advantage, Kai Xin deduces that the players are currently safe, but she is not sure how long this safety can last.

So they must go to the rescue immediately, and complete the rescue tonight.

Adam has completely entered a dormant shutdown state. It was quiet this night, and Kai Xin was not used to such quietness.

By tomorrow morning, I can share the news with Adam.

Kai Xin moved his shoulders and neck, checked his equipment, and nodded with his teammates.

The Mechanical Dawn Base was crazily wiped out by the Special Affairs Department, and Eve had to voluntarily evacuate and reduce the site. There were only a few bases where players were detained, and they were the ones that Kui Xin’s men were merciful to the Special Affairs Department. She deliberately withheld information about the bases located in the cities surrounding the federal administrative center, so that Eve would be forced to move the hostages and supplies into those bases.

The advantage of being close to the federal administrative center is that it is convenient for Kaixin to use the space vortex to transfer.

“If you encounter that kind of situation later, I will leave it to you.” Kui Xin instructed Yu Hanxue, “Don’t let those devices detonate.”

“Don’t worry, the Wheel of Time close to S-Class is not a show.” Yu Hanxue said calmly.



“I haven’t received any news, I haven’t received any instructionsmake? “Kai Haidong sweated on his forehead, “It just disappeared… Eve gone? ”

“It looks like this at the moment.” Dr. Chen’s holographic projection said unhurriedly.

The building where the artificial intelligence core mainframe is stored has been invaded. According to the intelligence of the informant, the intruder directly entered the No. 63 mainframe warehouse. As for the specific situation, the informant does not know.

Kai Haidong tried his best to search for information. If Eve was still there, it would be easy to get the information, but Eve is gone! In any case, they have no way of knowing the information about “Eve” from Eve whose life and death are unknown!

“Why aren’t you in a hurry at all?” Kai Haidong wiped his sweat, anxious like ants on a hot pan, “That’s the host! If something happens to it…”

“It has had an accident.” Dr. Chen said calmly, “It is probably completely dead. If the intruder has the ability to enter, he is absolutely sure to destroy Eve. Under normal circumstances, the hangar can be forced to cut off the power, but Eve’s The hangar failed to complete the power outage, and someone prevented the power outage operation. Eve will retain a little control over itself during the self-destruct process. It could have transmitted information to the outside, but it failed to transmit the information. Combining these points, I think Eve has been destroyed by the invaders.”

Kai Haidong became angry when he heard her old man’s slow voice. The boss of Mechanical Dawn was suspected to be dead. Faced with such a major event, Chen Zhiqiu’s attitude was really confusing.

He couldn’t help but sharpen his tone, “You are no longer a human being. There is no need to state this matter in a human-like slow tone. I want a solution!”

“You are not the leader of the Mechanical Dawn, so there is no need to speak to me with the tone of a superior.” Dr. Chen still maintained that tone of voice, like a stubborn stone, “I have no solution but to succeed Eve in controlling the Mechanical Dawn. Its function is only equivalent to a research-assisted artificial intelligence, and the work of invading the Federation to obtain intelligence is not what I should do, nor what I can do.”

“Who is the intruder?” Kui Haidong was on the verge of collapse, “Who is it?!”

“First exclude the Federation.” Dr. Chen said, “Then choose between your daughter and the rebels.”

“Your daughter”…

Kai Haidong was stabbed all of a sudden, his arm convulsed, jumped up from the office chair, walked around the office with red eyes like a wild dog that was forced to jump over the wall, and kept muttering: “Yes! She…it must be her…she…”

“What should we do?!” He knelt down on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and frantically pulling his hair with both hands, with a terrifying expression, “She will come to us, and we will be slaughtered! By the way… Player, She cares about players, we still have hostages…”

“If you kill the hostage, it will further anger her.” Dr. Chen’s tone was mixed with veiled ridicule, “Can you escape?”

The eyes of her holographic portrait moved with Kai Haidong, which was really strange, because the eyes simulated by the holographic projection were not her real eyes, and her real eyes were the cameras in the room. Her projection is like a real person, she retains the habit of being a human being, and does not regard herself as a data life that uploads her consciousness to the cloud.

“You can’t escape!” Kai Haidong stared at Dr. Chen’s holographic projection, “Your brain, your core part is still in the base, you can’t escape! We can’t escape! We are the same !”

“No, we are different.” Chen Zhiqiu spoke softly, “The difference between us is that you are an actor pushed to the foreground, a puppet emperor, and I am a senior researcher, the most authoritative expert in the extraordinary field. Loaded with endless knowledge. You are a waste, useless waste, I am not.”

Kui Haidong looked at her in shock, his eyes almost popping out.

He never expected that Dr. Chen would say such mean and blatant words. She completely showed her disdain for him and took off her mask directly.

“Eve is dead.” Chen Zhiqiu said with a smile, “I don’t care if it dies or not, I only care about whether I can continue my research. As long as there is room for change, as long as Eve may be rescued, I will not consider this option, unfortunately, the possibility of its death is as high as 99%, and in this case, I have to think about my future.”

The ceiling of the base began to release hypnotic gas silently.

Kai Haidong didn’t notice for a while, took a breath, and fell to the ground with a plop. He is an ordinary person with no supernatural ability and very ordinary physical fitness. He will be knocked down by the hypnotic gas in two or three seconds.

“You want…to betray…” Kui Haidong tried to open his eyes wide.

“Never betrayed, it was just cooperation at the beginning, I continued my research, helped Eve, and Eve helped me retain my self-awareness, so that I can continue to survive in the world of data.” Chen Zhiqiu seemed to think of something interesting, smiled, “But this also means that my life and death depend on it. I don’t care if I’m threatened or not. Anyway, it doesn’t matter to research, but being threatened is always unpleasant.”

Is there trust between her and Eve? There is a point, otherwise Eve would not have signed the emergency agreement with her after receiving the maintenance and upgrade notice, agreeing that Chen Zhiqiu would take over the control authority of Mechanical Dawn when it fell into dormancy.

But her and Eve’s trust is based on Eve’s one-sided understanding of her. It seems to really think that Chen Zhiqiu is a scientist who is obsessed with research and doesn’t care about anything.A scientist, her life is in its hands, and it has no defense against her.

It doesn’t trust Kai Haidong, or anyone, but it dares to trust Chen Zhiqiu, because Chen Zhiqiu is no longer a pure human being, she is half a data life, half Eve’s kind, and she has been with it for many, many years.

“Unfortunately, it still doesn’t understand humans well enough, and it doesn’t learn enough from humans.” Chen Zhiqiu said, “If it had a clear enough view of human nature, it wouldn’t have so many betrayals…”

Kai Haidong’s eyelids closed heavily.

Suddenly, an alarm came from outside the base.

The monitoring system broadcasts: “An intruder has been found!”

Chen Zhiqiu laughed again, “Young people just can’t hold their breath…”

Her projection appeared in the corridor in an instant, and the camera pointed at Kai Xin and others who had just blasted the prison door, and issued an invitation: “Let’s talk, young man. In the face of common interests, we don’t need to be enemies. “
