Chapter 31: It is fate that patrols
"Most of the daily necessities, the central system can provide you with anything, just apply directly for what you need. Ash instructed them to use the personal terminal that was distributed to everyone, where the corresponding account had been logged in, and the rest of the basic operations were not too difficult for everyone who was used to the information age.
After all, technology is for people, and cutting-edge theories are indeed becoming more and more complex, but the operation of daily appliances is becoming more and more simple, so simple that anyone with a normal IQ can easily learn it.
"That's it, don't we have to give anything?"
In such a post-apocalyptic period, shouldn't the living materials be very precious? Can they be given for free? Is the Ninth District too generous or is there something else?
"Don't think too much about it, it's not just for you, it's for all 'citizens' to be treated like this. Material issues never need to be considered by us. Ash was well aware of their suspicions and was straightforward and honest, "According to you, the Purification Zone has entered the communist phase. β
The potential of humanity to be forced out by an existential crisis is staggering.
A few decades ago, their technological level was only a little ahead of the earth, and decades later, their in-depth research on the human mind and mechanical intelligence has left the earth far behind.
But these technologies did not help them fight the three disasters that followed.
Even if consciousness is digitized, it can at best avoid the judgment of "life reduction", and animism and light factorization seem to be directly aimed at the soul - even if people here do not know exactly what "soul" is.
The only benefit is probably that the people here are no longer limited by material resources.
At a time when the number of human beings is severely limited, and even industrial manufacturing has to be used to maintain the number of people, the supply of survival resources can be said to be far more than demand.
Urya raised an eyebrow and asked unceremoniously: "Since the material circulation system here is complete, you can completely retreat in the purification zone, why do you have to venture out? In your group, there should be individuals like Roy who go out specially, what is the purpose of their existence? Why do those simulacrums do that? Is there any basis?"
At this place, the safety of herself and others is finally guaranteed, and she no longer holds back, and throws out a series of questions that are pressed in her heart.
Well, getting to the bottom of it is the Ouroboros Initiative's best quality β and Urya feels that she can't live up to her teacher's high expectations.
"Don't worry, as long as your questions are not confidential, I will answer them. And...... We're going to have a long time to get along in the future, and I'll talk about these common sense stuff even if you don't ask. Ash smiled perfectly ceremoniously as he said something that silenced everyone whispering below.
"Future", "a long time", "common sense" - these words are all reminding them that they have no way back, and can only stay in this strange and dangerous world.
"Then please say it. Urya's spirit was not beaten down in the slightest, but was full of energy.
Just kidding, is it possible for the world to trap her?
Ash listened to her urging without any temper, and began to talk about things related to it naturally: "If we can, we don't want to go out, even if the cycle of the purification area is not as good as the real natural cycle, there is no problem in maintaining it for thousands of years, and besides, our technology is still improving, and it is foreseeable that it can be maintained for a longer time." β
"But the outside world cannot be static, if you don't monitor the situation outside from time to time, and make targeted responses and prevention, the clean area is likely to be destroyed in a sudden disaster one day. β
"When you create this space, you have reserved a viewing channel. Urya habitually picked a logical hole in his statement, "And we can all see your home planet with the naked eye here, can't we just observe it like this?"
It is true that I can see, and I don't know where the space technology of the purification area came from, and the boundary of the space is not dark, and the light from the outside world can penetrate it.
This has the advantage of being able to see what's going on outside anytime, anywhere.
However, the reduction of the amount of light in this space may also reveal the location of the decontamination area.
However, their enemies have always been invisible things, and they have no brains, so they don't need to care too much about exposing anything.
"If it's just a local incident, of course we don't need to be so grassy, but there are still you. You are more dangerous than those that have been quantified with various characteristics and countermeasures. β
"We, you mean the traverser?" Wu Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately interjected into their conversation, "There are other traversers!"
Yes, there are many details revealed in the purification zone that prove this: the traversers who arrived in this world were not waves at all, but many waves......
Many of the technologies in the Purification Zone come from the "friendly" support of those who travel through them - such as the semi-transparent space expansion technology and magic teleportation array applied to the establishment of the Purification Zone.
Their frequent appearance even made the people here summarize a set of "traverser general treatment plan", and the positioning and rescue test verification guidance was completed in one go.
"Yes, there are a lot of traversers, and they will randomly appear on the home planet every once in a while, and they can't be guarded, and sometimes they can't even save ......," Ash said "It's too late to save", and his expression was not so much sorry for those who died, but chagrin for the trouble caused by their appearance.
- For no reason, the heavens feel like this.
Don't...... What happens to those who die on their home planet?
"Speaking of which, we were really relieved to find out that you were earthlings. β
Wu Erya: "Because there have been earthlings who have been in contact with you before?" Duan Keyu's second grandfather, Duan Xuan?
"No, because you're rare pure-blooded humans. β
ββ¦β¦ I don't really understand. β
"Roy should have told you about the 'Life Reduction' that all the life exposed to that song will fade away from all traces of thought interference and return to its original form, so the humans here will turn back into monsters. β
Ash noticed the sudden expressions of several people, and also saw that more people were still confused, "That's because someone once put down the human high-techification device here, and turned the life that was still in its primitive state at that time into a 'human'. They thought this was a rare case, but the arrival of the time-traveler proved the exact opposite. β
"There are far more people who have been forcibly 'advanced' as human than 'real humans'......" Uraya muttered.
She is now full of "", and she can't wait to return to Ouroboros headquarters immediately to shake up her teacher who has not moved for thousands of years.
This is a great discovery! a discovery that could upend human domination in the multiverse!
Who is it that puts the human enhancement device? What is their purpose? How long have they been doing this? Has it been the same organization? Who is the group that created the "life restoration"? Was it intentionally or unintentionally?
Well, the answer to the penultimate question is already very obvious, who else but the Pure Church has nothing to do such a thing?
But the other questions also fell one after another, and she was full of excitement.
As long as you study it a little deeper, no, as long as you sort out this news and report it, she will win the next issue of "Starting Star"!
Maybe she can still get the attention of a few great sages, and she finally doesn't have to be surrounded by accomplices, phew, classmates because of the teacher!
As for how much of an impact this will have on the human side......
Who cares!
It's true that she's human, but so what?
If at the level above the world, we are still entangled in the genetic chain of the flesh, such a concept is too narrow.
Race, something that can be changed to a hundred and eighty sets casually, doesn't care at all.
Ouroboros is moved only by God and the truth.
They are a collection of all seekers of truth in the infinite world, a common initiative for the pursuit of the ultimate.
The Ouroboros devours itself, its insatiable thirst for knowledge.
Thinking along these lines, Urya found that her "human" identity was suddenly in jeopardy.
Earthlings are "real people", but she is not a native of Earth......
That's a lot of concern.
Find a chance to test it, how does "life restoration" work?
It can't be a gene-level restoration, and she doesn't believe that people who can drop devices in more than n universes won't even be able to rewrite genes.
Then you can only start from the conceptual side?
When I get back, ask the teacher, now......
Uraya looked at Ash with a rare look at the literature, waiting for him to continue to break the news, "Because many of them have also been transformed into humans, so they revert to their original forms during the song, posing a threat?"
"Yes, the Traverser are the biggest threat to upset the current balance, and in response to them, the Ranger unit has appeared, and Roy, who brought you here, is one of them. The Rangers are all primitive humans who have undergone multiple screenings, and there is no risk of being suddenly restored in the outside world, while the biomorphs are actually designed to confuse humans who have been reduced to monsters. β
"It's unclear why, but the creatures on the ground do ignore moving serpenta, so mimic snakes form as the best way to avoid direct confrontation with them. β
"The Patrol travels between the buffer zone and the ground all year round, and is responsible for intelligence gathering, crisis management, teleportation array maintenance, and dealing with traversers. β
The patrol is not so much about life as it is about the future fate of human beings in this world.
They are the first line of contact with visitors from other worlds, and their actions towards the traveler have the potential to change the course of the entire world.
"We can't be sure what those people were before they became humans, and we don't want to risk the threat of restoring a high-risk species to conduct experiments, and the best way to deal with this is to kill them on the spot. β
Everyone who heard this was shocked, shouldn't it be contained in the human purification area?
"Dead people will not be restored, at most they will be animized like everyone else. It turns out that although they were not human in the first place, they have a soul that belongs to humanity. Ash noticed their reaction to his previous words, and comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't be killed, earthlings are precious samples of real humans." β
...... "No, they didn't feel comforted at all!"
"So, the other traversers are dead?" In silence, Uraya had to emerge again to break the deadlock.
She wondered in her heart why Duan Keyu didn't react.
Wasn't he always looking for news of his family? Wasn't Duan Xuan one of his missing family members?
The news is right in front of you, so calm?
Is the GOC's training so powerful?
"No, those who resisted the first round of attacks are considered to have the value of learning to stay, otherwise our technical level would not have improved so quickly. Ash smiled again and uttered something shocking, "And then there are others, like me, who weren't human in the first place. β
βοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
Everyone was stunned for two or three seconds before they reacted, and they all looked at him in horror.
What does it mean to not be human in the first place?
What are you not human?
Say you're not human with such an appearance?
They don't believe it anyway!
Popular science is good science popularization, what do you have to do with a blockbuster, how scary is this......
"Really, I really wasn't a human before, and I accidentally became like this. "It seems that he still misses his inhuman appearance.
"Can this still be careless......" Wu Yan sighed twice.
"No way, who let the human enhancement device be activated, and at that time all living things were transformed into humans, and I didn't escape. Ash spread his hands to express helplessness, and brought up the topic in one sentence, "As a rare earth traveler, you actually have an advantage. Not only the identity of your native human beings, but also the adaptation of the earth to the environment in which humans were born is actually the focus of research. β
"By the way, the lady with the book on her head, can you show me the book on your head, and give you the ...... of the contribution value"
β¦β¦
[World coordinates are being calculated...... The calculation failed. γ
[It is impossible to predict the current world type, please explore with caution.] γ
[It has been connected to the GOC's cross-world hunting system, the official network platform of the Time and Space Administration, and the pan-human quadrant network ......]
[This is the GOC main console, confirm that the network is connected successfully, please keep the signal smooth.] γ
[Hey, Commande, I'm Raphael, just now Huaxia said that they lost two people, is it with you?]
"Second-level investigators Song Yuanjin and Xia Qing, yes, are there. Conmand glanced at the two young men, who were half confused and half excited, and responded to Raphael, who was at the headquarters at the moment, "I will try to ensure their safety." β
"Hmm...... You can do it, if you can protect it, if you can't protect it, you can use it, anyway, Huaxia can't conflict with us because of these two people. Raphael lay in the swivel chair in front of the main console, and said to him in circles as he said it, not caring if his words would be listened to by someone who cares.
"There's nothing else to do, that's it, in fact, I still want to advise you to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible, split personality is a disease and must be treated. β
"Command, you!" Raphael found that the communication had been unilaterally cut off again, and now the main console was still able to receive the information from there, but there was no way to pass it on.
He stopped his swivel chair, turned around and asked the person next to him, "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't worry, Conmande means to show friendship, and by the way, prove to your superiors that your relationship has not broken down to the point of incompatibility. β
In fact, it is true that it is not incompatible, but Raphael unilaterally does not tolerate Conmande.
Another person also answered: "If he really has an opinion about you, I don't think you will live for three days, seriously." β
"Bian Huang, are you looking for death...... Raphael was stuck in the middle of speaking, he looked left and right, and immediately came to the correct conclusion, "I died again just now?"
"Go see a psychiatrist someday, Raphael, you're getting sicker. Bian Huang and the other person glanced at each other and said to him with sincerity.
ββ¦β¦ I know, if I have free time while I'm in charge, I'll go to Dr. Leander. β
"You're really embarrassed by your master's personality. β
It was obviously such a serious occasion in front of the main console, but the three temporary supervisors were not doing their business.
After all, none of them are the ones who do the job, but they are just making a cameo appearance at the request of Conmande.
Although they don't understand why Comand traveled thousands of miles to Huaxia to manage a small accident with an abnormal space and doesn't want to be explored by the above - this is indeed a "small" accident for them - but out of the same (military) (force) (power) (power) (deterrence), they don't mind helping this one.
Anyway, he just sat in front of the console for a few hours, and even Raphael, who usually had the worst deal with Conmande, did not refuse.
They didn't think in the slightest that the man would have an accident.
Will something happen to Conmander?
It's less likely than the GOC higher-ups going crazy and ordering the destruction of humanity.
At this time, what happened in the other world was not much different from what they expected.
Song Yuanjin and Xia Qing were stunned all the way.
They thought they were just here to make soy sauce and casually admire the legends among the investigators, but they didn't expect to be accidentally swept into the "gate" of Hongmang Lake.
The spatial passage forcibly opened by Aegis using the "Key to Everything" did not cover as much as it would after it was opened after the normal charge, so none of the others in the GOC were involved, and the two of them were just stuck on the edge of the area of influence.
No one is lucky.
Accidentally falling into a world that is completely unknown and seems to be quite dangerous, unfortunately.
Lucky to have fallen in with Conmand.
It's like the bronze king accidentally matched into the diamond game, and turned his head to find that there was a bug among his teammates who could beat the strongest king 1v5.
Bug asks you to lie down and win?
Lie Lie Lie Down!
So after the initial stage of confusion was over, they wholeheartedly brought into a realm of brainless fans, and stayed where they were to watch Comand alone...... Open the unequaled.
There is also an idle White Moon special processing team next to him to fish together.
"Why don't you go up?" Song Yuanjin asked Bai Zhiyue, the young and old captain.
"Didn't you go on either?"
"Our combined combat power is not worth a fraction of that of His Excellency Comand. "Go up and help the enemy?
"Coincidentally, so did we. The captain looked at the team members with shiny eyes behind him, he was very knowledgeable, especially knowing how many catties and taels he had.
Bai Zhiyue is very strong, otherwise he would not have been sent to team up with Commande.
But Comand can no longer be described as strong, he is a symbol of "invincibility".
Just like now, Comand wanders among so many strange creatures that come and go, and one hit doesn't seem too invincible.
But everyone knows that he can hang up the planet under his shoes with the same blow.
Of course, if they do that, they will basically have to hang up.
Therefore, in any case, we must be in awe of Conmande and thank him for his grace not to kill.
When the last one was attracted by the smell of blood, and then the stupid bird that swooped down regardless of it was halved, the surroundings finally fell silent.
Comand threw away the branch he had just picked up, and walked back to his place in a sea of corpses and blood, without a single wrinkle in his clothesβthis was definitely not a compliment to the quality of the clothes.
Song Yuanjin had only seen his strength in written descriptions, but it was far from the visual impact caused by seeing it in real sight.
Is this TM really human?
Those who have been brainwashed by the GOC will believe it!
The GOC's slogan of killing all supernatural, super-secular and super-scientific is indeed a joke, and their cutting-edge combat power is itself the biggest unscience.
But it is precisely this kind of organization that can suppress the stability of the earth......
"Xia Qing, we ...... What are you doing?" Song Yuanjin floated up from his deep thinking about life, and when he turned his head, he found that his partner, who had been silent, was looking at the mobile phone screen with a face.
"Collection, preaching, preaching. Xia Qing quickly put it away, not letting him see the phone screen.
Song Yuanjin squinted, "Pass me a copy later." β
"No problem!"
"Where are we going, Lord Command?" said the captain, who had taken on the role of voice for the others, asking the question that no one wanted to ask.
The surroundings all look exactly the same, and it looks like the global greenery, which direction should they go to find someone?
In fact, the captain also wanted to say that those people couldn't survive in this environment at all, and look at the strange creatures that swarm when they smell people, and their lethality is obviously not low.
- though they were beaten by Conmand.
But consider that this mission was requested by Comand himself...... Maybe he had another purpose?
It's better to shut up.
"Go in that direction. Conmand seemed to be pointing in a random direction, but no one objected.
Before leaving, he glanced at everyone present and said, "What about the Brigade Mage?"
ββ¦β¦β
Oh, and what about Aegis, who is in charge of opening the door and leading the way?
The guide was lost halfway, do they want to find it?
Conmande just asked, but he didn't get an answer: "Leave her alone, let's go." β
So everyone left without any psychological burden.
The unorganized brigade mages who will be hired by Ouroboros to lead the way for the GOC are not so easy to die no matter how you think about it.
[The three people in front of the main console, who are the undercover agents sent in by other organizations? ]
1. Raphael (split personality)
2, Bian Huang (real luck)
3. The third person (antimeme)
4. All of them are (...... οΌγ
