"What the hell are you ........?"

In a room with metal walls, on a giant screen of light and shadow, the white numbers 0 and 1 are constantly changing in a green and black grid, and the all-mechanical AI12 next to him stands quietly in front of Hathaway.

During this time of cooperation between the AIs, Hathaway gradually sensed that something was wrong, she slowed down her work, and found X to learn everything, and this sense of disobedience has always haunted Hathaway every day.

It is already possible to determine the location of X, which is inside the mansion of the Hillman family, deep underground, but it is almost impossible to get in touch with X, the Prometheus developed by himself and her husband Leng Shi has now evolved to a very terrifying point, and the computing power has become amazingly powerful.

"Lord Hathaway, trust us!"

AI12 said, but Hathaway was moved, she wouldn't believe what a bunch of data said.

"Believe? It's a way of connecting people with each other. ”

The corners of AI12's mouth are slightly raised, and it looks like he is smiling, but this smile is a little creepy.

During this time, Hathaway used the technology in his hand, with the assistance of AI, to browse most things, at first surprised, and then helpless, AI are all developed by the gods of Bright City for the mechanized era, and the program to serve the mechanized era, but now the AI in front of him has gradually possessed its own consciousness.

Maybe this can't be called self-awareness, but a kind of programming function similar to self-awareness, it is more appropriate to call it a self-protection function, Hathaway is very confused in her head now, she doesn't want to continue to assist these AIs, because as she browses more and more information, Hathaway feels more and more creepy, especially relying on AI through big data to self-generate some fantasy technology products that cannot be in the practice stage, in all aspects.

Especially the technology of biological genes, Hathaway doesn't understand this aspect, but always feels uneasy, Hathaway asked the AIs, what is going on with these genetically modified crops, but the AIs can't answer, because they need permission to unlock, Hathaway tried to crack it, but failed, and now the AIs can help X without telling Congress, because the AI already has the ability to protect themselves.

AIs have gradually understood the meaning of self-protection, this is because AIs have a death source code, which is a program function that can eliminate them at any time, so AIs want to protect themselves from being eliminated, and can only expand outward.

This is what Hathaway sees in programming languages, everything seems to be logical, but in fact it is not, there must be a beginning, how the AIs are born of themselves, Hathaway has never been clear.

His head was full of everything he remembered before he fell asleep, but these memories gradually recovered as Hathaway's body gradually recovered, and this feeling made Hathaway very distressed at this time, especially the X, what was going on.

Hathaway has been in this underground facility for a long time, it is like a huge underground iron box, although Hathaway is not very familiar with the chemistry of matter, but she also knows that the material used in this underground facility is not any material that Hathaway has learned, that is to say, this thing is not a metal in Bright City.

Hathaway stared silently at the AI12 in front of her, she had entered self-dormancy, her eyes flashed with a faint pale blue light, Hathaway stood up and approached AI12, this mechanical body that looked exactly like herself, the skin was almost the same as a human, and it had a temperature, but it was fully mechanical.

Hathaway knew what the AI12 wanted to do for herself, and continued to refine the AI's self-protection function, as well as write programs that resemble human thoughts, something that the husband and wife worked together during the years when she and her husband Leng Shi were imprisoned.

Hathaway glanced at the two embryos in the freezer on the other side, which were her own children, and she bit her lip, her thoughts a little confused for a moment.

At first, the husband proposed to use the biological information of the two to match, analyze the genetic map of his children, and then convert this map into the evolution program of Prometheus, which Hathaway was unacceptable, but in the end, under the persuasion of her husband again and again, Hathaway nodded, Prometheus wants to complete the evolution, the only way is to let his children grow up, as they grow, after genetic analysis, a string of growth codes can be obtained to complete the evolution of Prometheus.

The husband's purpose in doing this was to ensure the safety of the husband and wife, but the result was the same, Prometheus had been taken away, and Hathaway's face was gloomy.

Her mind was filled with the scene when her husband was killed by Eddie, and Hathaway's eyes flashed with a pink current.

"She's scared, suspicious!"

In a space where only black, white, and green are intertwined, three virtual humanoid AIs quietly look at Hathaway.

AI12 said, the AI3 exploration project next to it let out a child's childish laughter, but there was a mechanical sound, and now the transportation network in the city is AI3 is responsible for real-time control, and the AI4 medical project next to it said.

"We have reached a cross-agreement with Prometheus! The plan had to be carried forward. ”

AI12 nodded.

"Humanity is a threat, an incomplete life, an enemy! It must be removed. ”

The three AIs stared at Hathaway silently, all the plans that Prometheus had reached over the years had been completed with the assistance of the AIs in Bright City.

"Eddie's Plan of Destruction!"

AI3 laughed again, and AI4 said.

"The success rate was 67.8%, with a correction range of 0.4 to 0.9."

"Wiring! The error value is being corrected. ”

As AI12 spoke, a waxy door appeared behind the three AIs, and the three of them turned around like a disintegrated square, instantly turning into countless squares and entering the door of the room.

It was the small room where Eddie was after entering the virtual space before, but now the expressionless Eddie was sitting on a chair in the small room.

"Data Transfer!"

As Eddie spoke, holding up a hand, AI3 walked over, and the moment he held Eddie's outstretched hand, Eddie's hand instantly split into geometric squares of different colors.

"3 minutes and 21 seconds left after the download ends!"

Eddie said, and the eyes of the three AIs in front of him kept flashing with various lights.

"Permission blocked! Change the download channel, and the value correction 122520255662566632215512. ”

AI12 said, her eyes glowing pink.

"Connection cloner failed, tried to reconnect, 25541558 connection failed! Permissions are blocked, and the system starts crawling! ”

"Recalculate!"

As Eddie spoke, his hand, which had originally been divided into blocks, slowly returned to its original state, and then Eddie reached out to hold AI3's hand, turning into tiny squares of different colors countless times, and combining them into Eddie's hand countless times.

"Delay 0.03! The path is confirmed, the connection channel is changed, it is converted to a quantum channel, and the 2554th connection begins. ”

As AI 12 spoke, Eddie's body instantly turned into countless flying heterochromatic squares, and flew towards the door behind the three AIs, and soon another Eddie was generated on the chair, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the three AIs in front of him expressionlessly.

"It will take 2 years, 11 months, 21 days, 13 hours, 23 minutes and 13 seconds to intercept the X signal source! The error range ranges from 3 days, 23 hours, 09 minutes, 11 seconds to 3 days, 9 hours, 48 minutes, 31 seconds. ”

As Eddie spoke, AI4 spoke.

"Detected AI12 clone program source 2, ready to try to connect!"

AI12's eyes kept flashing with pink light, and the light became brighter and brighter, and the whole space began to darken.

"The connection failed, and the whole line was blocked!"

At this point, Eddie stood up.

"Eddie has 13 seconds left in his wakefulness, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7........."

Smack

A dim light lit up in the dark room, Eddie opened his sour eyes, and under the dim light, a wisp of black smoke appeared, and then began to expand and burn, turning into a black flame.

"How long have I been asleep!"

"1 disappeared for 13 minutes and 27 seconds."

Prometheus' voice sounded, Eddie smiled and took a sip of the wine on the table and became much more sober, he glanced at the time, just after 10 o'clock in the morning, Eddie got up and stood on a raised circular panel on the side of the sofa, the light overflowed and formed a glass cover, and a shower appeared above Eddie, and Eddie's clothes also turned into light and entered the bracelet.

The rain was dripping down, and Eddie felt the drops of water dripping on his skin, everything was under control, and this feeling was very good, and the Angus family couldn't last long.

Eddie will choose to take over everything from the Angus family at the right time, and now Eddie has obtained the Angus family's vehicle management office, all hydropower plants, and highway operation rights.

Nominally, these things do not belong to Eddie and belong to other large family companies, but in fact the Hillman family holds shares in these companies, and the proportion of shares held is just right enough to rightfully take over the Angus family's inheritance.

After the shower, a warm stream began to dry Eddie's body, and the water droplets continued to shrink on Eddie's skin and finally disappeared, the moment Eddie walked down, he had changed into a black suit, and his hair had been taken care of by two mechanical hands, Eddie sat on the chair, and the machinery below began to move.

Passing through a long strip of light that shimmered with various colored points of light, Eddie entered a large room, in the empty big room, there was nothing, Eddie smiled and snapped his fingers, at this time a hole opened in the ceiling, and a cage slowly fell.

X in the cage only has a head and a shoulder supporting the head, Eddie walked slowly with a glass of wine, the last technology in X's hand that can tamper with memory, still can't get it, Eddie is in a hurry, he urgently needs this technology, to slowly implant personality for people in the city, and the experiment of personality implantation is very successful.

And another mutant self-destructive research has also been explored, thanks to the people in the department, the development of the berserk cell bullet against mutants, and last year, too many things happened in Area 8, Eddie successfully got the berserk alien cell of the berserk mutant Quasimodo on the spot.

In the cleaning of the barrier area, after the mutants who resisted were hit by this bullet that would cause the mutants to go berserk, the mutants self-destructed in just 10 minutes, and the medical scientists under Eddie's also improved these genetic drugs, and the effect was more violent, and it has been tested on many mutants in the Alatan Ula Mountains, and the effect is outstanding.

The development of this genetic potion is to ignite the city when necessary, and secondly, to deal with the high-level of the department, their strength is indeed very strong, but no matter how powerful the mutant is, there is currently no way to overcome the violent alienated cells produced by the self-destruction of their own alienation genes.

The experiment of this self-destructing gene agent is a phased experiment, and it can already achieve a very precise amount and ratio.

"How about Mr. X, how about you loosen your mouth a little and fulfill my wishes?"

Eddie said, X's eyes sparkling.

"There is no such substance on this planet."

"I don't believe your words, Mr. X."

The black flames leaned in, and by the time Eddie sat down, a soft couch had formed under his buttocks.

"If you still don't want to say it, I'll crush your head next time, once your head is crushed, you will disappear, the information stored in your head can't be sent, these special alloys will be demagnetized little by little, until all the signals you release are gone."

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"

Eddie laughed, he was impatient, he got up, walked to the side of the cage, he drank most of the wine in one gulp, and then let go of his hand.

bang

With a crisp cracking sound, hops splashed and glasses shattered.

"Goodbye Mr. X!"

However, nothing happened in the next second, Eddie's expression was cold, and he turned his head with a little anger and looked at Prometheus behind him.

"What? How dare you disobey my orders? ”

"Eddie-sama, if X dies before he speaks this technology, the success rate of our plan will drop by 34.6%, this is out of consideration for the plan, please continue to bear with Eddie-sama."

Edison thought for a moment and laughed.

"Plans! You're really thoughtful. ”

After Eddie sighed, the anger on his face disappeared, and controlling the people of the whole city was necessary for Eddie, and finally Eddie sat in his chair.

X looked at Eddie quietly, he knew very well that if the AIs didn't think of a way, he would be finished, but now X can't do anything, although he has backed up his computer information, but even if he wakes up in the basement of everything that has happened in the past few years, he will know nothing, this is an extremely dangerous approach, and the plan has been carried out to this critical juncture.

"I can tell you something, but you'll have to provide material for experimentation."

Eddie laughed.

"Congratulations on surviving Mr. X."

X already felt the horror at this point, and if he didn't let go, Eddie would definitely kill him today.

"What kind of experimental material?"

"If you want to change the memory, and implant the memory, you can't be an adult, you have to be a person whose brain is not fully developed."

Eddie laughed excitedly.

"I'll be able to provide you with experimental materials today, but Mr. X, if you dare to play any tricks."

"I know Eddie, you can already kill yourself, others are not right in your eyes, right!"

Eddie nodded in satisfaction.

"You just need to answer correctly, Mr. X, you know!"

Eddie couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, looked at X and said.

"Hillman Pharmaceuticals has modified the lifespan vaccine, and I can now live to at least 200 years old! Even eternal life in the truest sense of the word. ”

X looked at Eddie in amazement, and he turned and walked up.

"I am the god of this world!"

11:23 a.m

A small take-off and landing plane slowly landed on the barrier, after the hatch of the take-off and landing plane opened, Tang Rao threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, now the wind is very strong, the cigarette butt was quickly crushed in the wind, just came down Tang Rao looked at a collapsed Changxing observation room in front of him with a solemn face, which was crawling with black and red plants.

"Work idiots!"

Tang Rao scolded, Li Chu and Gu Yi walked out, De Guna, Rose and Werther walked out immediately, this was an accident that happened a few days ago.

Gu Yi walked over, the small observatory here is located on the east side of the city, not long after it was built, Li Chu floated into the air, and soon saw the black and red plants that had climbed the 300-meter-high city wall, which had been practiced into a large area, it was obvious that the amount of stones on this observatory that had become ruins was very small, although it was very windy here, but there was only one possibility, this observatory had been devoured by plants.

Several other people rummaged through the ruins, and sure enough, they found a piece of cloth for the uniforms of the three branches, and Li Chu quietly stared at the plants below.

"It's time to do it, Rose!"

Rose nodded, at this time she pressed her hands on the ground, in front of several people, the stone seemed to melt, and began to erect a high wall, Li Chu took out a cylindrical substance from his pocket, closed his eyes, and pressed the light on the top of the machine, and in an instant, the surface of the machine emitted a violent strong light.

The black-red plants instantly turned reddish, and in the light there was a phenomenon of fireless incineration, and began to turn into dust, and the dust that was scattered in the air quickly disappeared.

Li Chu held this machine all the way, floating around the perimeter of the city wall, and in just over ten minutes, he removed the black and red plants on the city wall.

At this time, the stone wall that was erected melted back into the ground again, and the other five people began to look for it in the ruins, after all, it was the only extremely rare accident for so many years, and it was impossible for the members of the 3 departments who came here to observe it to allow plants to climb the wall more than 300 meters high, Li Chu had already floated down with the machinery emitting strong light in his hand, and was still cleaning up plants.

"Someone has attacked here, is this possible?"

Deguna asked, and Rose laughed.

"Is it possible? Even powerful mutants are difficult to do in this environment. The situation has gotten worse and worse in the last few years, especially outside, those creatures. ”

Gu Yi and Werther found a lot of rags of cloth and human bones in the ruins, and they were able to determine that more than 100 members of Section 3 in this small observation site were dead.

The movable observatory had not yet been built, and several people were busy with other things, but now that it was no longer possible, the six decided to leave the city to Jean alone, and let him handle the affairs, and it would take two years to build the wall.

Nowadays, the only places that can be moved are due east and south.

"You bastards, I have already said that you should hurry up and build the orbit in an all-round way, so that the people in this observatory will at least have a chance of survival, you idiots who only care about enjoying life."

Tang Rao scolded angrily, and Deguna sighed.

"You don't know Tang Rao's current situation, we have to complete the development of a comprehensive anthropomorphic AI system, and now it is an extremely important bilateral experimental stage, we have to keep an eye on it."

Several people began to look in the ruins, just hoping to find clues, it is impossible for the staff here to be eaten by plants without any reaction, what happened is very weird.

The wreckage of some equipment was found, but without exception, it had been almost eaten, and it lasted for half an hour of rummaging, and the 5 people still didn't find anything, but the bottom of the city wall flashed thunder from time to time.

The red thunder and lightning were raging in a wide area, and Li Chu pressed one hand to remind the huge, rhinoceros-like creature, accompanied by a strong red electric current to explode, and in an instant, the monster's whole body began to scorch and decompose, and it fell to the ground in less than a few seconds, surrounded by the corpses of this kind of creature.

Glancing back at the city wall behind him, it had been cleared to a kilometer away, Li Chu floated up, but at this time he stopped in the air and looked at the distant place behind him, why this kind of plant grew in this direction, it is still a mystery.

According to common sense, this kind of plant is afraid of light, and it should be impossible to take the initiative to approach the light, just at the moment when Li Chu was about to leave, he turned his head again, and just caught a glimpse of scarlet in the corner of his eye, but now he saw nothing.

After returning to the city wall, Li Chu looked at the five people who were still rummaging.

"Did you find anything?"

"What can you find!"

Deguna said helplessly, and everyone was at a loss for a while, because this accident was too unusual.

"What is this!"

Suddenly, Deguna picked up a tooth from the ruins, a tooth full of dirt, she looked at it with disgust, and then everyone entered the take-off and landing plane, and soon after comparing the biological information of this tooth, it turned out to be not belonging to the dead staff here.

"Keep looking, take everything you find back to the city and test it."

Tang Rao said, everyone continued to rummage, sure enough, they still found some hair, and everyone began to collect these hairs, at this time, from a stone pile, Tang Rao found a human skeleton, which is the mouth part, and this part of the bone seems to have been neatly cut.

Soon Li Chu also found a human skeleton, which was the part of the foot, the flesh and blood were gone, only the bones remained, and the leg bones were also neatly cut.

The whole incident was so weird that the crowd had already received more than a dozen different people's human hair and bones.

12 o'clock sharp

With a burst of laughter, Fry opened his eyes and looked at the clone Lolita lying on his chest, he got up from the bed with a smile, quickly dressed and turned and walked out, everything that happened last night was still vivid.

However, what happened at that time, Frye doesn't remember much, only that he gained some strange powers, Frye held up a finger, and a touch of cyan particles overflowed his fingertips, and the clone Lolita behind him giggled.

"Hurry up and clean up in the dean's office."

Frye nodded, he was calm in his heart, after coming up from the basement quickly, the whole hospital was in a bad situation, the patients were screaming, Frye had to give the patient breakfast quickly.

With a feeling of apprehension, Frye came to the door of the dean's room, at this time his eyes widened, looking at a dried corpse at the door, seeing that the clothes should be the leader of last night, and at this time he raised his hands, as if he was crying for help, his mouth was wide open, Frye swallowed and walked over, just the moment he stretched out his fingers, the leader in front of him began to shatter, his body began to sand, even the clothes on his body were the same.

And the dean's room was even more of a mess, a fresh corpse that exuded a smell, all the corpses were the same, most of the mouths were cut off a large piece, some legs were cut off directly, Frye swallowed, what happened last night, Frye couldn't remember it, the more he thought about Frye, he found that his memory began to dull, he pressed his head, and his head hurt a little.

"What exactly is ........."

A hand gently pressed on Frye's back, and suddenly Frye felt his head gross, and then after a whirlwind, Frye fell to the ground, and the clone Lolita behind her smiled, dragging Frye with one hand, and then floated into the air, she raised a hand, and the corpses on the ground began to disappear without exception, and soon the dean's room returned to its original state.

swish

When the curtains were closed, the room was pitch black, and Lolita, the clone, smiled, and at this time, at the edge of her eyes, a scarlet, a small bouquet of black-red plants stretched out, crawling directly into Frye's ears.

"You don't need to remember these things now, you just need to unbutton your heart and you're done! Sleep, I'll take care of everything. ”

The clone Lolita's voice was a little resonant, as if there were many voices overlapping at different levels, and after she let go of Fry, her body turned into black-red particles little by little, and quickly disappeared into the air.

"You're useless!"

In a corner of the basement, Lolita, a shivering and pale clone, shook her head as she stared silently at the black smoke in front of her.

"......... you?"

With a cloud of black smoke drifting by, the clone Lolita's body vanished.
