Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xiaolian slashed towards the thunderstorm chariot with one sword!

Hand up and knife down!

After being affected by the previous confrontation between Vulture and Karamon, there is very little energy left in the Thunderstorm Chariot's shield generator, and it will take time to recharge. The piece of cement that was broken through by Chen Xiaolian just now has completely disappeared.

And the body of the special alloy has no way to stop Chen Xiaolian's sharp heavenly knife. It is cut like tofu.

Although the blade was no more than a meter long, the faint golden light on it extended several meters, encompassing the entire thunderstorm chariot.

It's over.

Chen Xiaolian had already had this thought in his heart when the blade had just cut into the thunderstorm chariot.

The loopholes in this world obviously need to know more. For example, the thin man before, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the monster, Chen Xiaolian would definitely be able to get more information!

Although he didn't know whether it was the thin man sitting in this thunderstorm chariot or some other loophole, Chen Xiaolian still wanted to be able to catch a live mouth and torture him slowly.

But—the current situation does not allow him to do so.

Even if there is some regret in my heart, there is no way to do it.

But just when the blade was halfway in, it suddenly stopped!

If the original feeling of cutting into it was tofu, then now the feeling of the long knife in Chen Xiaolian's hand is that he has cut a stone hidden in the tofu!

A muffled sound of collision came from inside the thunderstorm chariot, and although it was blocked by the body of the vehicle, it was still clearly heard by Chen Xiaolian.

In his heart, Chen Xiaolian had already felt a strong force coming from the long knife in his hand!

"Wanliu, disease!"

Countless water arrows shot out of the car's body, instantly drilling countless small holes into the armor of the Thunderstorm Chariot, like a giant hornet's nest.

But before that, Chen Xiaolian had already drawn back the long knife and stuck it on the bridge deck in front of him. A golden light blocked in front of him, and not a single water arrow could penetrate it.

......

At this time, the SUV behind him also drove right on the bridge deck.

Although the bridge deck was tilted, it had lost the support of most of the slings, and it was crumbling and creeping as if it might collapse at any moment. But the blue ocean seemed to be completely blind, stepped on the accelerator, and galloped all the way forward.

"Stop, stop! we can't get by!"

Grace clutched the headrest of the front seat and screamed wildly.

Daniel and Yang Lin on the side were also a little nervous.

Daniel whispered, "Blue Ocean, we...... Let's go back first! Detour from somewhere else, always ...... I can go back, too. ”

"No way. They won't give us a chance. ”

Lan Hai didn't look back, and said in a deep voice, the accelerator under his feet did not relax at all.

When he was less than a hundred meters away from the Thunderstorm Chariot, Lan Hai saw the Thunderstorm Chariot in front of him that had been cut in half, and the turret above was suddenly lifted open, flying more than ten meters high.

A figure stood above the body, condescending, with a cold chill on his face, looking at Chen Xiaolian under him.

Chen Xiaolian held the long knife in his hand and confronted him.

No one moved.

The SUV has driven to the bridge at this moment, and the entire body has been tilted more than ten degrees, but the speed has not decreased at all.

Still no one moved.

The SUV drove past the thunderstorm chariot at a gallop, and the strong wind it brought up shook the corners of Chen Xiaolian's clothes.

No one moved.

It wasn't until the thunderstorm chariot drove past the two of them that Chen Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief.

The steel cable above the bridge deck in the back section is still intact, at least temporarily, the four people in the blue ocean are out of danger.

"Wait for me at the other end of the bridge. ”

As the SUV passed by him quickly, Chen Xiaolian said lightly. Although the sound was not loud, it clearly drowned out the roar of the engine, word by word, so that everyone in the car could hear it clearly.

"You're confident, boy. What's your name?"

Vultures stood on the high thunderstorm chariot, looking down at Chen Xiaolian on the bridge deck in front of him, his expression smiling rather than smiling.

"I shouldn't have it?" Chen Xiaolian raised his eyebrows: "Chen Xiaolian." ”

Vulture shrugged: "Self-confidence is a virtue, but only if - when your strength is worthy of it." ”

"Do you think I'm not worthy?" Chen Xiaolian sneered.

"Hmm......" Vulture suddenly laughed, "The performance so far has been not bad. In addition to the strength, the reflexes and the mind are very much to me to appreciate. Although you ruined my Thunderstorm Chariot, I have decided to forgive you for the time being. So, I changed my mind a little bit. ”

"Say it. Chen Xiaolian nodded.

If it weren't necessary, he didn't want to start a war inexplicably.

From the beginning of entering the end of the world until now, Chen Xiaolian has not taken the initiative to make a move against anyone. The thin man before, and the man who drove the thunderstorm chariot now, were all indiscriminate, and suddenly started to do it, without even giving him a chance to say a word.

Now, since the man in front of him had no plans to make any further moves, Chen Xiaolian was naturally willing to listen to what he wanted to say.

"My name is Vulture, and I belong to the same covenant as the Derha you have seen before. But that waste is dead now. The Covenant needs people, especially those as strong as you. So, if you are willing to join, I can vouch for you in the covenant. ”

"Be clear. Whom will your covenant be hostile?"

Vultures laughed, "For the enemy, what is the enemy at the end of this world? We're just doing some clean-up that we have to do." ”

"Clean up?" Chen Xiaolian keenly captured the most important information in the vulture's words, and looked at the SUV on the other side of the bridge, which was almost at the end: "You mean, they?"

Vulture nodded, "Yes." Listen to Delha, you're just a newcomer, and you've just arrived at the end of the world. So...... As long as you can take the initiative and kill those four Awakened, you will prove your innocence. ”

Chen Xiaolian didn't refuse immediately, his mind was spinning quickly: "Then, I have two questions. ”

"Say it. Vultures held out their hands and made a gesture of please.

"First, you're saying that they're all awakened, how do you know that? Second, what is the purpose of the cleanup you're talking about? By the way, and third, since you know I'm a loophole, then I shouldn't be among the targets of your so-called cleanup. Why should I prove my innocence?"

"These are three questions. You don't seem to know how to count. Vulture sneered at Chen Xiaolian before continuing: "Regarding the first question, it's very simple, there are only two kinds of people who will enter the end of the world after death - the loophole, and the awakened who have died once and have been refreshed as ordinary people. ”

"No ordinary people?"

"Nope. Vulture shook his head.

Chen Xiaolian nodded, and now, the question he had been hiding in his heart was finally explained.

There are more than six billion people in the world, and the death toll is more than 150,000 every day!

If all the dead people would go to the recycle bin, then the end of the world should never be as empty as it is now!

In this huge copy of Manhattan Island, Chen Xiaolian saw only six people from beginning to end - Delha, Blue Ocean and his group of four, and the vultures in front of him now.

And according to Lan Hai, they have been here for so long, and there are only a few dozen people gathered in the village.

If what the vultures say is true, then everything can be explained.

Chen Xiaolian knew Lan Hai, so he naturally knew that he was once an awakened person. And the remaining Yang Lin and the three of them also had the identity of the Awakened.

It's just that these four people have all died twice.

For the first time, he died as an awakened person, was refreshed and became an ordinary person, and lost all his memories.

The second time is to die as an ordinary person and enter the end of the world.

Although at the end of the world, they don't have any abilities and no memories, but here they do!

After such a long time, these loopholes will always meet some awakened people who have lost their memories that they have seen!

Add to that the huge difference in numbers, and it's easy to infer this conclusion.

"What about the second question?"

"First of all, you have to understand what is the end of the world. ”

"Recycle bin. A place to contain all the data that the system intends to delete. ”

"That's right. Vulture smiled: "Then you should know that the recycle bin needs to be emptied." Just like your computer, the data at the end of the world is also emptied once in a regular period. This includes abandoned dungeons, as well as dead Awokens. ”

"You're the only ones left. Chen Xiaolian nodded, he had already guessed about this before, but it was only now confirmed by the vultures.

"It's 'us' who are the loopholes. Vulture deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of those two words: "But now, there is a problem with the refresh of the recycle bin." ”

"The recycle bin won't refresh?" Chen Xiaolian remembered that Delha had said this sentence before.

"Yes. Vulture nodded: "Originally, the mechanism of the recycle bin was to refresh every three months or so, and empty everything except for the loophole. But now, five months have passed since the last refresh. ”

"So what?" Chen Xiaolian frowned, "I don't understand why this is a problem for you. Could it be that you prefer a world where there is nothing in the light?"

"Of course not. Vulture sneered: "Who would think that life like that is good? If it weren't for the fact that the opened copy kept going to the end of the world, we people wouldn't have survived." We died once before we entered here, but we are not dead. We also have to eat, we have to dress, and we have to sleep. ”

"It doesn't sound like you're having an easy life. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "There are not too many city dungeons, it is rare to brush out one, and the resources in it will definitely be robbed by you." ”

"It's been good lately. Vultures stretched out his hand and pointed to the destroyed Thunderstorm Chariot beneath him: "Those who will enter the end of the world, in addition to people and dungeons, there are also equipment destroyed in battle. It's just that depending on the degree of destruction, the degree of intact access to the end of the world is also different. Not long ago, I didn't know what was going on in the outside world, and suddenly refreshed a large number of high-level equipment, even including things like thunderstorm chariots and sentry mechas, and they were all intact. This means ...... They were completely destroyed before. That's right......"

He suddenly stared at Chen Xiaolian: "Since you have just entered the end of the world, you should know what is happening outside, right?"

Chen Xiaolian shook his head, his eyes met the vultures, and his face did not show half a flaw: "What happened in the dungeon, I was not selected, how could I know?"

The vultures kept staring at Chen Xiaolian without moving away at all, and Chen Xiaolian's gaze did not flicker in the slightest, calmly staring at him.

"Okay. Anyway, no matter what happens, I don't have to worry about it. After a long time, Vulture smiled: "Once you are at the end of the world, don't think about leaving one day." Even if there is a brain out there, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Chen Xiaolian smiled noncommittally: "You haven't finished answering my question yet." Isn't it a good thing that the recycle bin stops refreshing?"

"On the surface, it seems so. Vulture snorted, "But haven't you thought about the consequences of this?"

"The consequences?"

"The timed refresh of the recycle bin was originally an automatic mechanism. But now, this automatic mechanism has stopped. If it's just for the short term, no one will probably notice it yet. But over time, someone will find this bug. ”

Chen Xiaolian's heart jumped, and he understood who the vultures were talking about: "You mean, the development team?"

"When the automatic mechanism fails, the normal and reasonable response is, of course, to convert to manual operation. And what do you think the development team will do when they find us at the end of the world?"

Chen Xiaolian nodded: "I understand." We are the bugs of the system, and after entering the recycle bin, the automatic cleaning mechanism will not remove us. But if someone from the development team finds something out of the way here, they'll find out about our presence. And at that point......"

Vulture sneered, "At that time, we will be completely emptied like those awakened. I don't think anyone would want to see that outcome. ”

"So, this pact you are talking about was formed to restart the refresh function of the recycle bin. But I still don't understand, how can you deduce that by killing other awakened people, you can restart the refresh function of the recycle bin?" Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "Moreover, I am a loophole, and I am not the object of automatic cleanup of the recycle bin." In that case, why did you and that Delha attack me as soon as we first met?"

"These two issues are actually one and the same, very simple. Vultures spread his hands: "As you can imagine, every object that exists in the recycle bin, whether it is a person, a dungeon, or an item, has a 'number'. Except, of course, for us loopholers. When the cleanup mechanism is executed, it is also executed in this numbered order. However, this automatic cleaning mechanism is not human, it has no intelligence, and can only be cleaned up step by step according to the number. And now...... When the object corresponding to a certain number cannot be cleared, this mechanism fails. In other words, it's stuck.

In order to restart the cleaning mechanism, we have to clean up the stuck object 'manually'.

And the awakened at the end of the world have lost their memories and abilities and have become ordinary people. They have absolutely no idea how the world works, what a system is, what a dev group is, what a recycle bin is. The only person who can do this can be a loophole. One - a traitor among the loopholes!"

Chen Xiaolian frowned: "Why?"

"Who knows?" vulture sneered, "The buggers themselves won't be cleaned up by the system, and they're not numbered. Then there is only one reasonable speculation left, and that is - there is a loophole who uses a certain ability, or some kind of prop, to protect a certain awakened person and let him escape the cleaning of the recycle bin. As for the consequences of doing so, he probably didn't think about it, or maybe he didn't care at all. ”

Chen Xiaolian sighed and did not speak.

He could tell that the vultures weren't lying. Since he wanted to tie him to the same chariot, there was no need for the vultures to lie to themselves.

Although it did sound cruel, Chen Xiaolian had no way to accuse the vultures and everyone in this covenant of doing wrong.

Everyone is sitting in the same boat, and now there is a man who wants to scuttle the boat and drag everyone to die with him, so it is also very reasonable that the rest of the others plan to kill him.

"But you will only kill one person, and the others are innocent. ”

"So what?" Wuya listened to Chen Xiaolian's words and sneered: "We just speculated on this conclusion, and we don't know who that person is, so we can only kill them all indiscriminately." Have you forgotten that if it weren't for the problem with the recycle bin refresh mechanism, they would have been emptied a long time ago. If you can live until now, you have already earned it. ”

Chen Xiaolian frowned: "But you and that Delha both wanted to kill me before." And I'm a bugger. ”

"Delha didn't know you were a loophole until he did it. Vulture shook his head: "Moreover, you are in the same group as those four people. As I said, the awakened person who escaped the system cleanup must have a loophole behind it. ”

"And how do you know now that I'm not that person?"

Vulture laughed, "Because you don't know me." And at the end of the whole world, there is no one except for the loophole who has just arrived in this world...... Don't know my vultures!"

"And, as I said, to prove your innocence, you need to kill those four people. Vultures raised their chin at the other end of the bridge, and the stopped SUV: "Kill them, and you'll be clean." I will be your guarantor and let you join the covenant. ”

"Thank you. Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Thank you for your willingness to appreciate your face, and thank you for telling me so many things." But—"

He raised his head and looked at the vultures with a determined gaze, "I'm sorry, I refuse. ”

[The long vacation is over, keep working!]
