Chapter 596: The Final Showdown

In contrast to Morpheus's silence, Neo replied very dryly:

"I see, what do you need me to do?"

"Go into the matrix, and then someone will tell you what to do."

The machine army launched a new attack, and countless sentinel moths rushed to the expeditionary force's defense line like a fire to the fire. Only in the point of perseverance, the machine is consistent to the end.

The Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force retaliated with heavy firepower, tearing most of the mechanical squid to shreds before they could enter the dome of Zion.

However, due to the sheer number of sentinels, a few stray fish broke in, and a few of them were looking for ordinary people of Zion who were not armored to attack, and they could only do this.

Wang Lei raised his Gauss rifle and shot down several sentries approaching one by one, saved several Zion civilians who were targeted by them, and warned them:

"Go to the rear! The front line is dangerous! โ€

At least it was dangerous for them, the Sentinels couldn't deal with the Expeditionary Force soldiers in nano-power armor, but it was still easy to kill a few ordinary people.

In fact, these men were still Zion's volunteers, but they had no protection on them, and they were still extremely vulnerable to the sentinels.

Seeing that the troops led by Wang Lei had indeed saved Zion, Neo finally made up his mind and said:

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Wait, Neo, you can't ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Morpheus tried to dissuade him, but Neo said firmly: "I am no longer needed here, I should go where I am still needed." โ€

"Follow me."

Wang Lei brought over an avatar device and used it to send Neo into the mother's body.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

At this time, in the matrix, almost the entire world has been occupied by Smith, and Smith is everywhere he looks, just like a zombie in the Resident Evil world.

No weapon will work on him, not even a single Smith will be able to take out even a nuclear bomb.

Smith's existence is completely beyond the limits of the parent rules, so in the virtual world, the human weapons created based on the mother rules can no longer kill him.

Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang hovered over the city in a helicopter, watching the entire world of humans being infected with Smith.

Although Jory continued to fire Smith from his helicopter's Gatling gun, the result was the same.

Bullets can't kill the electronic virus, and Smith, who has been beaten into a sieve, will repair itself and get back up in a matter of minutes, just like the boss in the game, no matter how the health bar drops, it won't go to zero.

Faced with such a predicament, Qiao Lu could only barely keep himself and Liu Peiqiang from being infected, and used Gatling to repel Smith who tried to jump up, which was only able to repel them.

"Hasn't Wang Lei done it yet?" Qiao Lu asked while firing while contacting Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin replied, "The expeditionary force has arrived in Zion, and it should be there soon!" โ€

As the number of infected people increases, Smith's individual strength is also increasing, and some even have the ability to fly, allowing him to fly around in the air like Superman.

A Smith rushed at him like a meteor, and no matter how many bullets Jolu poured at him, he couldn't slow him down in the slightest.

Eventually, the entire helicopter was pierced like a bullet by Smith and crashed into the roof of a building.

Fortunately, Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang's physical fitness was beyond ordinary people, and they jumped off the helicopter at the last moment and did not explode with the helicopter.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by countless Smiths, and now in this city, only the two of them have not become Smiths, and it is natural that they will be under a full siege.

Smith, who crashed the helicopter, landed and said in a mocking tone:

"Behold, this is the man who made me, did you foresee this situation? Or do you still think you have control over me? Just like in the old days when you controlled machines? โ€

In the Mother World, Smith's strength has completely surpassed that of Joru, and nearly 90% of humans and programs have been infected by him.

At this time, Smith was no longer in a hurry to infect Qiao Lu, but wanted to show off his achievements.

The entire mother body was infected by him as Smith, and if there was no audience, such a spectacular scene would be too wasteful.

Countless Smiths took to the streets, lined up on both sides of the road, and in the windows of nearby buildings, they were also full of Smiths, like standing tickets in a movie theater.

It was enough for them to watch the show on the sidelines and watch how Qiao Lu struggled in the end.

Liu Peiqiang wanted to get up to help Qiao Lu, but was instructed by Qiao Lu not to act rashly.

At this point, their battle was irrelevant, and Smith had no way to defeat him by ordinary means, and the results were self-evident.

However, Qiao Lu still put on a posture, even if he knew that he was invincible, he would dare to show his sword, this is the posture that human beings should have.

As the two confronted each other, it began to pour heavily in the mother's body.

This is no accident, the weather has long been under Smith's control, and this is just to set the mood a little.

A large puddle quickly built up on the ground, even faster than in reality, and was undoubtedly deliberate on the part of Smith.

Qiao Lu no longer cared about these environmental effects, and strode towards Smith, countless splashes on the ground, and before the splash disappeared, Qiao Lu had already come to Smith and punched him in the face.

Smith always smiled with ease, feeling the god-like ability in the virtual world, and he didn't pay attention to Qiao Lu's attack at all.

He took Qiao Lu's heavy punch with one hand, and the huge impact force even shook the rain and spread into a sphere, but Smith still didn't move, as if the punch was hitting cotton.

"What a disappointment for me."

Smith saw Jo Lu as the last obstacle to his complete infection of the mother's body, and he thought it would be difficult, but now it seemed that he was completely overwhelmed.

He gripped Qiao Lu's fist tightly, his fingers were inserted under his skin, and the mercury-like liquid instantly covered Qiao Lu's body.

This is Smith's virus, and both humans and programs will be infected and assimilated into the new Smith.

"Qiao Lu!"

Liu Peiqiang wanted to come over to relieve Qiao Lu, but was held down by a group of Smiths and couldn't move at all.

Under Smith's absolute control over the mother's body, Qiao Lu had no power to resist, and could only watch himself being devoured by the virus step by step, and the mercury-like liquid gradually covered his entire body.

Before Jo Lu was completely devoured by the virus, Smith said proudly:

"You lose, everything belongs to me!"

However, at the last moment before being swallowed by the virus, Qiao Lu showed a smile and said:

"Yes, I lost, but we won."

Before Smith could understand the meaning of the words, Qiao Lu was completely assimilated into Smith, leaving him without a chance to know what was going on.

On the other side, Neo, who was sent into the mother's body by Wang Lei, was also attacked by Smith at the moment of arrival, and was easily infected by the virus like everyone else.

Smith was still wondering what secret Jo was hiding, examining his body over and over again, trying to figure out what he was missing.

It's a pity that this time he completely found the wrong point, and the key to victory is no longer on Qiao Lu!
