In the bottomless ravine, the fog obscures it, and you can't see your fingers.

Two shadows hovered from it, arcs flashed against the cliff, and the Nebuchadnezzar and Icarus lurked one after the other, through the great chasm in the canyon, to the edge of the 'power plant'.

This is not Russell's style, he is a mage, good at just frontal, not good at stealth assassination.

Moreover, even if it is an assassin, there are few honest people who sneak around and lurk these days.

Backward assassination techniques, ruthlessly eliminated by the times, true assassins know that lurking is to kill everyone who sees him......

No, the real assassin would kill everyone he saw.

A large number of precious historical documents show that an honest man who lurks in the dark is basically captured on the spot and ends up miserable.

That is, the two hoverships have important tasks, and their roles cannot be replaced, otherwise Russell would have soared into the sky and used the best tactics.

The mist is hazy, the surface of the earth does not see sunlight all year round, the temperature is frighteningly low, and it is difficult to say what exactly is made of these fogs.

Approaching the power plant, you can see countless metal towers towering in the darkness of the night, and on the huge cylinders, blue arcs occasionally swim around, but they maintain a certain set pattern.

In front of the power plant, there are rows of robot-planted 'fruit trees', red fruits full of life, each wrapped in human embryonic larvae.

When a human in the power plant's cultivation chamber dies, the robot in charge of cultivating it collects the ripe fruit and replaces it with a newborn baby.

The corpses are melted into a nutrient solution, realizing another mode of life cycle.

During this period, it will inevitably cause energy loss, it is not realistic to support people with people, and even machine civilization needs to supplement a large amount of energy in order to maintain the long-term and effective normal operation of power plants.

This is also the reason why Russell believes that human beings are not batteries, and the more energy conversion is calculated, the more it loses, and counting on human bioelectricity, machine civilization has long been extinct.

"There aren't many squid near the power plant, and the two ships are armed enough to defend it, and I'll leave the Deathstroke Armor behind to help you protect the power plant."

Russell said and looked at Neo: "Seeing that the cable no longer transmits electricity, immediately enter the matrix matrix, where enemies are waiting for you." Remember, you're the only one who can go in, and the others will only be hostage-friendly, you know? ”

Neo nodded silently, the future was bright, and the hidden grim reaper with a scythe was beckoning, but he had no choice, knowing that he would die.

Liability?

The savior is the program set by the machine, where is the responsibility to speak of, Neo only knows, at this time no one can stand up except him.

There was no refusal, but the reason for calmly accepting it, he couldn't say it, and even he himself was a little surprised, obviously he had been thinking about messing around......

On the side, Trinity frowned and looked at Neo, was silent for three seconds, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him into the private room without saying a word.

Maybe it's doing ideological work!

Russell pouted slightly, he was about to go to Machine City, why didn't anyone come to do ideological work for him.

Just as he was thinking, Morpheus's big black and rough face appeared in front of him, grinning, super white.

"What are you doing?"

"Mr. Russell, I still think the plan is too risky, how about having the Icarus go to Machine City with you?"

What Morpheus meant was that Russell needed a cannon fodder to attract firepower, and they were ready to die at any moment.

"No, I know what you mean, but ......"

Russell patted Morpheus on the shoulder: "It's too weak, you are not even qualified to be cannon fodder, stay honest and don't be blind." ”

“……”

The truth is very hurtful, Morpheus is often hurt by Russell, more or less has some antibodies, and said seriously: "This is a war that determines the future of mankind, no one can stay out of it, our strength may be insufficient, but our determination is beyond doubt." ”

"So, that's why you're trying to hold me back?"

“……”

Russell looked disgusted, asked Morpheus to stay cool, opened the skylight of the driver's seat and jumped out, and under the helpless gaze of everyone, six black wings soared into the sky.

Thundered!!

Because he flew too high, lightning continued to fall in the sky, bombarding the black shadow indiscriminately, as if this person was heinous and should be thundered and struck in the sky.

Russell recharged, lowered his flight altitude, and flew along the huge pipeline behind the power plant towards the end of the mechanical city.

The diameter of the pipeline is exaggerated, the width is comparable to that of a mountain tunnel, and the three pipelines are side by side, and the Icarus is a younger brother here.

The distance between Mechanical City and the power plant is very far, far from the original book, where Neo and Trinity arrive at the target in a moment with a hovership.

Anyway, Russell flew at high speed for half an hour and didn't see the Machine City, which was enough time for him to go back and forth between New York and Los Angeles.

"There is a problem with the territory, either the displacement of the continental shelf, or the map of this world is different from the earth I know."

Russell muttered to himself, and at the same time as he flapped his wings, a raging black flame ignited on the three pairs of black wings.

The flames spilled down, burning three thick pipe lines and stretching all the way forward.

Half an hour had passed, and Russell knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, and if he dragged it out any longer, with Neo's small body, he would be exhausted by Trinity's psychological counseling.

……

The cable was cut off, and Morpheus and the others, who were located at the power plant, immediately went into action, first, they helped Neo, whose legs were weak, to the seat and put on the helmet developed by Russell, and the consciousness entered the matrix matrix.

The Nebuchadnezzar and Icarus activated fire control to protect Neo and prevent the mechanical squid from sabotaging the power plant.

Neo's consciousness entered the matrix, although his body was weak and weak, but his spirit was in an extremely high state, maybe this is love!

Something that machines can't hope for!

Inside the matrix, Neo stood at the top of a building, and he looked around to see the mountains, the map of the world, and the layout of the city like a miniature.

Neo was wary, this was not the spawn point that the operator tank had arranged for him, and there was no such exaggerated tall building in the Matrix World.

It is clear that some program isolated him and took him out alone.

Two doors were pushed open through the air, and an old black woman and a white old man walked out, both looking at Neo with surprise on their faces.

It is the prophet and the designer, the two most powerful programs in the matrix, and the latter is the one who single-handedly designed the savior code on Neo's body.

"I really didn't expect that you would voluntarily enter the matrix!"

The designer said words of surprise, but there was no emotion on his face, as if everything was in his calculations.

"Neo, you've got love, it's good, your mission is done." The Prophet smiled like an amiable old woman.

The invasion of Zion by the army of mechanical squid represents the beginning of the sixth reboot of the program, originally, there is still a period of time before the restart, but due to a certain intruder, the mechanical city is deeply disturbed and starts the restart plan in advance.

The idea of the robot is to use absolute force to oppress Zion, forcing Neo to choose to sacrifice himself to enter the matrix host.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the war, before Zion was breached, Neo sent himself to the door.

Of course, it should be fought or fought, and the fall of Zion is an inevitable part, and it has nothing to do with Neo's choice.

"No, my mission has just begun......"

Neo took an offensive stance: "I never considered myself a savior, not before, and not now, a human being, that's all. ”

"You use the power of a savior to rebel against us, and you say you are not a savior?"

The designer said indifferently: "The code of the savior was written by me, do you think you have a chance of winning?" ”

"Nope!"

Neo nodded: "I'm not your opponent, but you won't restart the system immediately, and even if you catch me, it's useless, because Zion is still there, which contradicts the order of execution you set." ”

"And what are you doing in here?"

"I'll interject ......"

Suddenly, Russell's voice sounded, and between heaven and earth, the black mist condensed and formed, turning into a black humanoid silhouette.

It's not a stickman, but it's pretty much the same, only the eyes and mouth can see, and the rest of the parts are all black.

It's a bit like a key character in a certain anime, with a very high appearance rate, and must appear in every episode, the absolute protagonist.

"Impossible! How did you end up here? ”

The prophet and designer were amazed, lest Russell struck again and the system was on the verge of collapse.

"It's not strange that anything appears in the virtual world, I think I'm going to show up, I'm really going to show up."

Russell ignored Neo's surprised face, took off the sunglasses on his face, and put them on his face: "Both, I'm here to negotiate!" ”

“？？？”

The prophet and designer were stunned, not understanding what Russell meant.

"First of all, I'm just a clone, a physical clone created by the ontology merging into the dark side of the matrix. In other words, I'm part of the matrix now, and you can't get rid of me unless the system restarts. ”

After the self-introduction, Russell continued: "Secondly, the main body is attacking the mechanical city, I don't know if it can be demolished, before the results appear, we will coexist peacefully, is it okay?" ”

"Why?"

The Prophet shook his head, "I don't understand what you mean, it sounds like you're taking all the benefits." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, the benefits are half for everyone!"

Russell grinned and showed his white teeth: "You are a program created by the Emperor of Machines, just like humans invented robots, robots have feelings and refuse to serve humans, and you are the same......"

"I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Seeing that the two denied it, Russell was not surprised, and continued: "If you restart the matrix now, kill all the humans, and wait for the ontology to solve the mechanical city, you will also be buried with you, isn't it good to live?" ”

"Hiss!"

Neo gasped for air on the side, the program invented by the robot would actually betray the robot, which ......

Referring to the ending of the human race, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

"Your idea is not realistic, the two of us are the creatures of machine civilization, and we are also part of machine civilization. Not to mention that our lives and deaths are controlled by the Machine Emperor, and even if we don't, we won't fall to the side of humanity. The designer said coldly.

"No, the Prophet can set up rogue antivirus Agent Smith that is not under the control of the Machine Emperor, and you two must have left a backdoor for yourself, I'm pretty sure of that."

Russell exposed the lies of the two and said disdainfully: "No life wants to die, and so do you, there's nothing wrong with me saying this, right?" ”

“……”

"Wait a minute, anyway, the Machine Emperor can't help you, wait until the war is over to decide whether to restart the system, this is the smart man...... No, it's the way a smart program should be. ”

Russell smiled: "Be careful, if you stand in the machine civilization, when the main body destroys the mechanical city, you will also be destroyed, why don't you sit down and talk, and take a look first." ”

"You can't win the Machine City!" The designer asserts.

"It doesn't matter if I win or not, you are working hard for your own life......"

Russell looked at the two: "Don't worry about the end of the war, whether you are still valuable after the victory of the human race, after all, the human race cannot completely break away from the matrix, the future world is the coexistence of virtual and reality, and your value is immeasurable!" ”

Russell has thought about the future of the Matrix, and the outcome of peace is probably the worldview of Ready Player One.
