Judging from the pictures in the news reports, the attackers are supposed to have used some kind of powerful poison gas bombs, and many coalition soldiers wearing chemical protective suits and gas masks are carrying the bodies out of the venue one by one, while another group of executors with bulletproof shields have completely surrounded the entire venue, preventing any idle people from entering.

"Little Ray, this guy ......"

Qi Lin couldn't help frowning, if it was really as described in the report, "free will" had been controlled by the Revolutionary Federation, then Xiao Lei's situation was probably very dangerous...... The Revolutionary Union can be regarded as cannon fodder under the mastermind, and free will is the pawn of the Revolutionary Union...... Cannon fodder in cannon fodder.

The news was quickly refreshed again, this time the regular meeting of the consortium alliance, the main content of the discussion was a new set of shelter management plans - if the organization wants to start a war with the mastermind, the first thing to do is to make the management of the vault completely free from the dependence on the mastermind, if they can't come up with an alternative, after the connection with the mastermind is cut together, the entire shelter world will inevitably fall into chaos......

This chaos would be devastating for the social order...... Imagine what it would be like for human beings living in the Internet age to one day all the networks were paralyzed.

This kind of thing has not happened in history, a few decades ago, the telecommunications giant CenturyLink in the United States had a large-scale network outage, including Arizona, Idaho, Massachusetts and other 37 states could not use the network, affecting the entire territory of the United States......

The outage lasted for 32 hours, during which utilities were inoperable, and people were unable to call the emergency police or use ATMs...... Even hospitals are forced to use pen and paper to keep patient files and medical records......

At such times, people realize how dependent they are on the Internet, without which it is almost impossible for modern people to maintain a normal life.

In this accident, the direct economic losses reached an astronomical amount, and even the Homeland Security Bureau of the United States intervened in the investigation.

And that's just 32 hours of disconnection, less than two days in total.

And if humanity starts a war with the mastermind now, then the entire shelter network system built based on the mastermind will be completely overthrown...... This will be a huge project, you know, the influence of the current mastermind on human life is not comparable to the original network.

It is no exaggeration to say that without a mastermind, the level of human technology would be set back by decades, if not more.

Not every Vault has the ability to transform itself into a purely mechanical world that is completely independent of electronics and networks like the organization's headquarters, and many will die from this change, and without a mastermind, the cost of managing the Vault will increase exponentially, and everything will have to be done by manpower...... Qi Lin suddenly understood why the mastermind said that the human race would never be able to win this war...... According to the current comparison of strength between the two sides, the organization still has the strength to fight, but this is a conclusion based on the existing foundation, if the time comes to completely tear the face with the mastermind, not much else, the logistics of the organization camp alone has become a big problem that is difficult to solve.

Not to mention the big one, just talk about the problem of ammunition supply - the numerical control automatic production line is definitely useless, large arms factories will be completely paralyzed, if you want to produce bullets, you can only use those old-fashioned lathes that rely on workers to operate, some high-precision parts even need people to take vernier calipers and sandpaper to polish manually, the production of a bullet will be more than ten times or even dozens of times in the past, and the labor cost has risen to an immeasurable point.

After the bullet is manufactured, all steps such as storage, transportation, and deployment need to be completed by manpower, and the easy-to-use PDA and logistics management software are all gone, replaced by heavy paper lists and physical bills that are extremely easy to lose.

In addition, without the support of the transportation system, the frequency of the trains transporting the supplies must also be recorded manually, and the slightest negligence may lead to accidents such as two trains colliding on the same track...... All in all, by that time, human society will instantly return to the state it was two or three centuries ago.

To make matters worse, if the transmission of information is hindered in the underground shelters, then the human army will be in a situation where it will be fought on its own, and the transmission of information can only rely on signal soldiers, which is not even as convenient as the beacon tower in ancient times.

After adding these conditions, Qi Lin felt that there was almost no chance of winning on the organization's side.

Although he didn't know what the "new management plan" discussed at the alliance's regular meeting was, Qi Lin was sure that the new management plan would definitely take the high-pressure militarized management concept to the extreme, and the shelter might become something similar to a concentration camp, which was no wonder it would provoke strong resistance from the rebels.

From the perspective of the big picture, the "free will" group is undoubtedly being used as a gun by the mastermind, but from their point of view, they are also fighting for their own survival.

Once the new management plan is implemented, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the shelter will definitely be the first to be abandoned, and the remaining people will be completely deprived of their human rights, they will be forced to work long hours and high intensity or be sent to the battlefield, and everyone will become a bargaining chip in this war, a bargaining chip that can be sacrificed at any time.

Not many people are willing to accept such a fate...... It's like a multiple-choice question, suppose that humanity will perish in five years, and if you are willing to sacrifice yourself immediately, then this assumption will be erased, and if you are unwilling, then you will disappear with all of humanity after five years.

I'd love to know how many people would choose to sacrifice themselves right away if this were true?

Are there really so many people who choose to sacrifice? No, a lot of people are selfish...... This has nothing to do with morality, survival is the innate instinct of all living beings.

What's more, if you put this question into the current situation, even if you sacrifice yourself, you can turn the tide, at most...... It's just a second delay in the end of humanity......

(ahem...... How do you feel a little violent all of a sudden...... Wait, the courier arrives, I'll go get a courier...... ）

"Is it really only you who can solve this problem?" Qi Lin suddenly found that he was the one who did this multiple-choice question.

Even if other people fight with their lives, they will only give all mankind *** to the death, and they may not even have a second, but Qi Lin is different, according to the mastermind's plan, he is the one who can turn the tide.

It's just that here's the ...... What the hell should he do? This raging ...... How do you save it?

The second mastermind has disappeared for most of the day, and the situation in the underground world is becoming more and more chaotic, and war may break out at any time.

There are still almost fifty hours before the relaunch of the "Wasteland Survival Code", and the program architecture of "Utopia" is gradually replacing the virtual world that Qi Lin was familiar with, and no one knows when the "test" will go......

Lie down and you'll probably never be able to climb out again.

……

……

District 6.

The entire Vault has entered a state of war, all the main transportation routes are completely closed, the defenses are fully activated, and the external tunnels are completely blocked with stones and concrete, sealed with iron plates and molten steel - Qin's idea is simple, he wants to isolate the Sixth District from the rest of the Vault and turn it into an isolated island.

The longer it drags on, the more opportunities there are for him, and what he is most afraid of is being blitzkrieg by the organization, and if he can drag the other party into the confrontation stage, he is fully confident that he will hold on to the sixth district.

It is impossible for the organization to devote the vast majority of its military strength to the side of the Sixth District, they can't take it, and they can't afford to spend it...... In any case, the Revolutionary Union is the first to be eradicated, and relatively speaking, the influence of the Sixth District is much smaller than that of the Revolutionary Alliance.

Moreover, the regular meeting of the consortium alliance was attacked by the rebel group, which shows that the revolutionary alliance has already begun to take action, although for Qin, this is really not good news, but at least it can give the sixth district a chance to breathe.

"Sir, that Miss Lei has asked to see you." Qin was intently looking at the Sixth District Defense Map spread out on the table when an assistant suddenly pushed the door and walked in and said to him.

"Miss Lei? Lei Yun? Isn't she already gone? Qin raised his head, his two eyebrows furrowed tightly together.

"She came back with a shipment this time...... Well, the movement on the Order's side was so fast that we didn't even think about her and implemented the lockdown plan, and accidentally sealed her in the Sixth District. The assistant said with some hesitation.

"Why didn't you tell me then?"

"Time is too tight, we have expelled as many outsiders as possible who are stranded in District 6, and those who have not been expelled in time have also been detained, but Miss Lei, she was in the VIP reception room at that time, and we left her out on a negligent basis." The assistant replied.

Since District 6 was a special zone divided to deal with the genetic collapse event, there were no civilians, which allowed Qin's people to successfully complete the blockade plan within a few hours, but the time was still too tight, and at least three hundred outsiders could not leave in time, Lei Yun was one of them.

"Is she still in the VIP reception room? Is there anyone else besides herself? Qin suddenly asked.

"It's still there, in addition to her, there are two bodyguards, both of whom are executors who have registered in the Lei family."

"Did she say she was looking for me for something?"

"No, but judging from Miss Lei's attitude, she seems to be very dissatisfied."

"Ignore her, keep the VIP reception room under control, don't allow her and her men to leave half a step, provide them with food and water on time, but you have the right to shoot them if they act in any way." Qin said solemnly.

"If the other party is hostile, can I kill them?" The assistant suddenly asked, shooting does not mean killing, many times, the first goal is to make the other party lose the ability to resist, but it is not excluded that in some special cases, the other party must be killed to solve the problem.

“…… OK. Qin hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Qin understood that neither the Sixth District nor himself could afford any accidents...... He even said that if killing Lei Yun could immediately ease the tension between the Sixth District and the organization, he would not hesitate to do it.

He was different from Qi Lin, he had lived for too long, and for Qin, his feelings as a human had faded to the point of being dispensable, and in many cases, he even felt as if he were a machine...... A machine similar to the mastermind always puts the interests first...... In order to achieve the goal, no means will be spared.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, at least he knew that he had always been on the side of the human race, but the way he did it was a little different from the group of people in the organization.

The organization wants to shut down the mastermind, and Qin also wants to shut down the masterbrain, the starting point of both sides is the same, but the organization chooses to be tough with the masterbrain to the end, while Qin chooses to cooperate with the other masterbrain consciousness that has been split.

This choice is very risky, but the success rate of this matter is always proportional to the risk, and Qin had argued with the other eight people more than once about it, but none of them agreed with his plan.

He asked the other eight people if they could find a way to solve the problem from the inside of the main brain, for example, using the underlying program that was originally implanted in the main brain as a breakthrough...... But this idea was rejected by eight other people, in their opinion, the mastermind has completely freed itself from the shackles of the underlying program, although the underlying program still exists, but the mastermind can use a very ingenious way to ignore it, for example, in the eyes of the mastermind, the "utopian plan" is proposed for the survival of mankind, and it is completely contrary to the first law, then it will resolutely carry out this plan to the end.

Qin had originally planned to tell them about the existence of the second mastermind, but the result of several arguments was to make him change his mind.

Qin had a vague feeling that more than one of the other eight people had a mask on his face, and their disguise was so perfect that even Qin couldn't detect their specific purpose.

Although the information related to the second mastermind can win the support of some people for Qin, if this matter is really announced, Qin always feels that something difficult to control will happen......

Some of them have changed...... This change is subtle, so hidden that even the people who spend time with them can't notice it. However, looking at the series of changes that have taken place since the establishment of the organization, Qin has found a huge problem hidden in it.

These problems are deadly, deadly enough to cause an organization to collapse overnight, deadly enough to plunge the entire human world into a war capable of self-destruction.

These problems do not occur naturally in the process of organizational development, but are deliberately caused by someone, and the people who cause these problems are hidden in them.

……

Not long after the assistant left, a few crisp gunshots came from the window, Qin was stunned for a moment, and the direction from which the gunshots came from was the VIP reception area.

"What's going on?" Qin grabbed the microphone on the table.

"One of Miss Lei's bodyguards tried to force his way out of the reception area, but the guard chose to shoot when the stop failed, hitting the other party in the leg, and the other party tried to return fire and was killed on the spot."

"Got it." Qin said in a flat tone and hung up the phone.
