"In that case, then why are you destroying the Mastermind? Is it really the slightest possibility of coexistence between humans and artificial intelligence, as depicted in the science fiction movies of the old days? Qi Lin really didn't understand, even if the main brain really had self-awareness, then as long as it still abided by the "First Law", then it should not be an enemy to humans.

"Or are you afraid that the Mastermind's self-consciousness will become more and more perfect until the 'first law' that humanity has set for it is broken?"

"No, that's not what we're worried about...... If the mastermind wants to break through the 'First Law' by its own strength, we still have at least fifteen to twenty years, but now it's too late, we must hurry up......" Cheng Yanqiu shook his head and said in a low voice.

"Too late? What's too late? ”

"You better not ask, the less you know, the safer you are, I just told you this stuff because I really see you as a friend...... I hope that when you leave this basement, you will forget all about our conversation today, and don't try to find out the truth...... As close you are to the truth, you are as close to death. ”

"Treat me as a friend?" Qi Lin laughed angrily, "You treat me as a friend to tell me some clues, and then wait until my curiosity is completely aroused before I forget everything?!" That's what it means, right? ”

Qi Lin suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Cheng Yanqiu's shirt.

"If you're angry, beat me up and get angry, but I'm going to tell you—"

"Bang!!"

A collision sound suddenly came from the top of the two heads, and Qi Lin immediately put down Cheng Yanqiu, copied a pen from the table on the side and held it in his hand.

"What sound?"

"We were discovered...... It was my mistake, and the mastermind's men may have discovered this hidden stronghold. The corners of Cheng Yanqiu's mouth pulled out a wry smile.

"Mastermind's men? Mastermind and men? Qi Lin was a little puzzled, in a narrow sense, the mastermind is just a supercomputer that doesn't know where it is installed, controlling the operation of all shelters in the world through cables and optical fibers, and the mastermind must strictly follow the charter to do everything, which means that it is impossible for it to give any additional benefits to its subordinates, in this case, how can anyone be willing to do things for the mastermind?

And in a broad sense, the mastermind controls the operation of the entire human society, the major consortia and families are combined, and the power is not as great as the mastermind, it can be said that the entire human world is under the control of the mastermind, and everyone can be regarded as the mastermind's subordinates - take the promotion of the "Wasteland Survival Code" as an example, the vast majority of people, including those in power, fully comply with the requirements of the mastermind, of course, there are also rebels, but most of those rebels have now become dry bones abandoned in the corners of the tunnel, and Wasteland Survival Code has succeeded in turning everyone into its players.

"They're not people...... It's a biochemical puppet, and of course, it's not much different from what it looks like a human......"

Cheng Yanqiu said quickly, and somehow he found a king-size screwdriver, and began to twist the screws on the riveting parts of the steel plates on the wall.

"There's a secret passage here, but it will take me ten minutes to open it, and you'll have to hold them back for me."

"They...... How strong? Qi Lin tightened the pen in his hand, his current strength was still one-third of the energy behind the fourth-level evolutionary, but no matter how much it was different, as long as he didn't cross that hurdle, there was still a huge gap between him and the real fourth-level evolutionary.

Take Ayakui as an example, if Ayakui wants to kill Qi Lin, then he only needs to use his mental power to condense a sharp blade in Qi Lin's body, but if Qi Lin breaks through to the level of the fourth level, Ayakui's mental power can only bombard Qi Lin's body surface at most, and cannot invade his body.

It's like playing an online game, a rookie who is only level nine and still running tasks in the novice village and a senior rookie who has successfully transferred to level 10, although there is only one level difference between the two, but the latter has a whole set of skills and attribute bonuses after the transfer, and the former is only abused.

"Bang! Boom! ”

The guy above was still smashing the locked partition, Qi Lin looked obliquely from below, the partition had been significantly deformed, at most, as long as there were more than a dozen strokes, this partition might not be able to hold up.

On the other hand, on Cheng Yanqiu's side, there are dozens of screws around the one-meter-square steel plate, although Cheng Yanqiu's hand speed is already very fast, it still takes nearly twenty seconds to unscrew a screw.

"Do you have to screw so many screws every time you open an escape route?" Qi Lin couldn't help but ask.

"Actually...... Behind this steel plate is not an escape route we dug out, but a mine tunnel left behind. ”

“……”

Finally, the partition at the top of the basement was smashed open, and a stout man wearing a dirty miner's uniform and a plastic orange hard hat on his head took the lead in squeezing in, holding a pickaxe in his hand, and smashed it directly in front of Qi Lin's head!

Qi Lin jumped back a big step, dodging the attack of the pickaxe, and asked loudly, "Are you sure they are cyborgs?" How do I feel like a labor revolt from below! ”

In addition to the miner, the three people who came in behind were two men and a woman, two men were wearing navy blue stevedores' uniforms, and the women were wearing a ragged skirt, and the upper body was so naked, and a pair of shriveled ** seemed to be hanging there as if two shriveled human skin bags.

People dressed like this abound in the slums of the shelter.

"That's just a disguise! If you don't believe me, just smash their skulls open and see! Cheng Yanqiu pulled out a pistol from his jacket pocket, and fired three shots in a row, but these three shots hit the miner led by him, and the miner's body only leaned back slightly, and then rushed towards the two of them more quickly!

"I believe it!"

Qi Lin said loudly - Cheng Yanqiu's three shots hit the miner's cheek, shoulder and chest respectively, the wounds on the shoulder and chest were left aside, the shot on the cheek directly tore the skin on the miner's face, revealing the delicate tissue covered with pipelines underneath.

As Cheng Yanqiu said, these guys are all cyborgs, they have flesh and blood, but the spine is all made of metal, and they are full of electrodes; They have almost untangled skin, but hair and nails never grow; The bottom line is that they are completely unconscious!

"Get out of here!"

Qi Lin slammed his foot on the miner's chest, if it was a human miner, Qi Lin's kick was enough to stomp his entire chest, but the cyborg miner only staggered back two steps, and then rushed up again with a pickaxe.

"What a hassle!" In the face of the sharp pickaxe, Qi Lin did not retreat but advanced, and instantly approached the front of the cyborg, first three extremely fast elbow strikes hit the opponent's chest in succession, and then, he stabbed the pen in his hand into the cyborg's right eye!
