Section IV. Stakes

The man sighed: "No wonder Dad doesn't know." It doesn't matter, Dad is dying anyway! ”

"Hmph, listening to your tone, I'm going to die, you seem to be very happy?"

"Of course, because my dad is going to die, and I have a lot to do. This time it was a gift I gave to my father, but I hated it very much, so I planned this incident and asked Zhuge Fangliang to help. It's a pity that Zhuge Fangliang is useless, and I have to go out in person. The man played with the empty cup on the table.

"You said you planned this second lap event?" Pudde's calm words did not contain the slightest hint of anger.

"Hmm. Moreover, does Dad remember the three laps? ”

"Three laps were also your ...... at that time" always felt that what happened at that time in the three laps should have something to do with the current situation.

"Daddy is so smart! I've been going to school in the three circles, although it's going to school, but in fact, I'm being watched, who makes this genius the pride of the world government! However, I hate that kind of life very much, can Dad understand? So, for the sake of 'freedom' and 'experiment', the three circles will become an experimental field, but my experiment was successful, and my father really came forward to help that annoying Ling. As he spoke, the boy happily turned the swivel chair under him.

"Actually, I didn't do much, the world government was originally planning to gradually narrow the scope of life, and I was just hitching a ride. The wheel called World has already started to turn, and I'm just pushing it a little. ”

"That's all you have to say?" Pud observes the man, wondering what he really is doing for him.

"What else does Daddy want to know about these things?"

"You said you were my child. And I don't remember having such a child as you. And are you really a 'human'? ”

"Does Dad know about the 'Pregnant Mother Experiment'?" The boy asked.

"How did you know about the 'Pregnant Mother Experiment'?!" He shouldn't have known that at his age. Or is he an outlier like Zhuge Xun or Kate.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not that old anymore, I'm a normal high school student now, I'm only seventeen years old, and I'm a normal person. The 'pregnant mother experiment' was also discovered after I investigated. However, my background is similar to Ling's, so I like Ling's very much. And I call you 'Daddy' because I borrowed your genes from you, Pudder. 'Genius Child', 'God's Darling', 'Biochemical Warfare Murderer', Dad, how many names do you have? ”

"You just said that you hate Ling, and now you say that you like him, you are really contradictory."

"Time is running out." As the boy was talking to Pudde, another man's voice rang out outside the door.

Hearing the man's voice, the boy smacked his lips. "You're still so annoying, cloaked man, don't let people catch up with their father!"

'The man in the cloak is outside the door?!' Pudde's heart twitched, and he hurriedly opened the door to see the situation outside! But......

"Dad, don't be so anxious, you see that you are in a hurry, and I am also in a hurry, I originally wanted to talk to my father for a while." The boy saw that the dagger that flew out was piercing Pudde's thigh.

Pudder endured the pain and dragged his injured leg outside the room. I saw that all the people who had been working had been killed by a man in a cloak standing in the middle of the hall. "You guys!"

"Cloaked man, stop!" The boy spoke up to stop the cloaked man from attacking Pudder.

"You'd better hurry!" The man in the cloak stops attacking Pudder. "I'm going to see what happens elsewhere." With that, the man in the cloak walked over to the 'brain'.

"Who the hell are you! What a purpose! Pud had lost his composure, his eyes bloodshot and roaring.

The man squatted down and put his chin in his hands and said to Pude: "You too, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Answer my question! Or I'll kill you!" Pud pointed the gun in his hand at the man's head.

"If you don't want to know the truth, it's okay to kill me." In the face of Pude in anger, the man still has a tone that doesn't care. "I like Ling very much, he's like a fool, hahahaha."

"What is your purpose? Didn't you appear to me now to show me the success of your plan? Before I die. Pud said self-deprecatingly.

"I'm not showing off, I'm confident I'm going to win you. That shady guy from the cloaked man went to the 'brain' just now, do you know what that means? The man stood up and helped Pudder to his seat. Before you died, I guess you were one of my fathers, so ......" The man pulled out the dagger stuck in Pudde's leg.

The dagger was pulled out, and a stream of blood spurted out. Pude frowned. "Then I want to thank you. Don't you know that the 'brain' is no longer useful for the second circle? The skies have been destroyed, and the 'brain' here has been abandoned by the Central Circle, and it is of no use to you. ”

"I know. I'm the one who makes the central circle give up the second circle. The man poured his cup full of coffee and savored it.

"You're from the Central Circle?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary student. It's just that my head is very valuable, so the world government cares about me very much. ”

"You've been going around the bend with me." Pudd bandaged his thighs with a towel handy. "If our purpose is the same, we can cooperate."

Listening to Pude's words, the man looked up at Pude. "But our purpose is different. What a pity. Dad's goal is to destroy the current world and build a new one. A world like a second circle. ”

"Isn't it?"

"No, I hate the world from the bottom of my heart and just want to destroy it. Humans are strange creatures. The life and death of the weak can be decided at will. That's why I hate the world! Dad, I really like the second circle that my dad built. I also hope that the rest of the world will be like the second circle. But that won't work......"

"You're not going to tell me why?"

“…… Let's make a bet. The man proposed.

"Do I have any bets of value in my hand that are worth you?"

"Yes. The horn of the angel. It's your bet. If I win, you're going to give it to me and tell me the code to launch it. If you win, I'll stop attacking the second lap now and never get rid of the second lap forever. ”

"It seems that the man in the cloak didn't guess the password correctly, oh, he didn't dare to guess it at random."

"Say whatever you want."

"But if I don't bet with you, the second lap will be fine. Just past tonight. Tomorrow, the Hunter Guild will definitely send troops to support, and then those mongrels of yours will not be able to make the climate. ”

"Really? But only if the Hunters' Guild still has the spare power to support. I don't have more than Zhuge Fangliang as a chess piece. As I said earlier, my goal is to completely destroy this world, so do you think I won't be prepared for anything else? ”

"In that case, why are you betting with me? You should know all the 'secret passages' of the protective circle and the central circle, it's up to you. Why not use that? If you get the 'angel's horn', how to use it? ”

"Of course I do. But wouldn't it be fun to watch the world struggle in pain if you didn't want to use the secret passage when the time came? As for how to use your baby, it's a secret. "The man made a 'silence' move." Anyway, in fact, I'm betting with you now that I want to know which of the two of us is the real genius! ”

"In that case, I'll bet with you, but what?" This madman!

"I remember my father was betting with the vampire hunter Li Chongyi that 'whoever kills more people in one day', and then my young father won and saved his life. We're not going to bet on the complications, we're going to bet on whether your men will find out what's going on here before dawn." 'It's easy. And you have a good chance of winning. ”

Although this is a bet that is completely beneficial to himself, the man in front of him will not gamble with himself so easily, he must be planning something! Pud pondered the bet seriously. Normally, Morley, who was in the command center, would call me or send someone to ask for my opinion......

"Oh yes. The proviso to this bet is that we can't actively contact the outside, and even if a phone call comes in, you and I can't get through, and all outsiders won't be allowed to enter. As you know, the man in the cloak has killed everyone but you, and now there are only three of us underground. And the man in the cloak is now at the 'angel's horn', so it's just the two of us. ”

"Before dawn, when did it mean, but now I'm not sure when it will be dawn. This time is too vague. "That's right, if Morley really contacted himself, he would definitely notice the anomaly here, this man is just a child after all, and it's not that thoughtful thing to think about. It's 10:50 p.m., and the earliest dawn will be around 4 o'clock, with five hours to go......

"Time, it's 10:50, that is, eleven o'clock, before dawn, in order for us to be able to divide the winners and losers as soon as possible, so four o'clock is the end time, that is, there are still five hours, if the command center of the second circle sends more than five people within five hours, even if you win!"

"Okay, that's it." Just what the doctor ordered! Pude was careful not to let the man pay attention to the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Oh, Cloak Man, I'm making a bet with Daddy, so you can find something to do over there to pass the time." The man said to the cloaked man who was outside through his own contact.

"Won't you tell me about you at this time?" Pud asked the man.

"Or don't, if Dad wins, won't I have a hard time in the future?"

"Then you should let me know why you call me Daddy."

"Well, okay. Does Dad know how to have a baby between people? ”

“……”

"It's not as complicated as Dad thought, in fact, it needs men's sperm and women's eggs, and at the right time and under the right conditions, a life will be born. It is generally the woman who is responsible for giving birth to the child. But now there are men who can do it, and then in addition to men and women, artificial breeding is also possible. In the virtual child, in the palace, the sperm and the egg are put together, how to call it, oh, by the way, 'test tube child' used to be called that. It's now called 'Clone'. ”

"You're a clone?" Pudd asked.

"Hmm. So Pudde, you're just one of my many dads. ”

"Numerous dads?" Pud didn't ask the man how he got his sperm. I also know that the man in front of me said that the world government cares about him, and he also said that the person who 'made' him is the world government, and the world government wants to get his body data very easily.

"I'm a clone of the 'full body'. All the genes in my body were reorganized. I'm curious to test myself, you know? I have 415 dads and 251 moms. And all my fathers and mothers were living celebrities at the time, and even if a person is dead, whether it is a fresh corpse or a body that has turned into white bones, only if you can find his genes, or body tissue, will become a part of me.

Whether it's a scientist, a physicist, an astronomer, a celebrity, I have the genes of these celebrities in my body. So, I'm a real genius! Now you know why the World Government is so precious to me. They couldn't make a second feather, but they 'invented' me! ”

"Monster! You're truly the devil's child! Pudde's disgusted eyes still made the man stunned for a moment.

"Sure enough...... But that's okay. Oh, and it's almost twelve. No one has contacted you yet. You can see the situation outside through the monitoring here, and no one is coming, so you have to be careful of losing to me. ”

"The time hasn't come yet, and we don't know who will lose or who won."

"Yes." The man shrugged.

Red Moon Main Building:

"You're awake." Hongyue, who was watering flowers on the first floor, saw Zhuge Xun coming down from upstairs.

"How did I end up here? It's you? "As soon as I woke up, I found that I was lying here in the red moon, and before I passed out, I was obviously outside the second circle, was the red moon who brought me back.

"Ling sent you back. You'd better keep it up. ”

"Why is my key bad?" Zhuge Xun wanted to use the key to return to the battlefield, but he couldn't open the door of time, so he came to ask Hongyue. I don't know what's going on in the second lap now.

"It's Ling's meaning, he wants you to have a good rest, so he asked me to close your door."

"Let me go."

"Nope."

"Why? How did Miss Red Moon become so obedient? ”

"Hmph. You have other things to do, so now take care of your body. The dead branches in your house should be burned, take this out, it will allow you to recover your spiritual power as soon as possible. Hongyue handed Zhuge Xun another withered technique.

Knowing that arguing with Hongyue no longer would lead to results, Zhuge Xun took the dry branch and turned around and went back to his room. I didn't plan to go to the second circle without listening to Red Moon. My body knows that the second circle should be able to last until dawn, so after dawn is the time when you really need yourself, and now it is better to recover your spiritual power.

After seeing Zhuge Xun go back upstairs, Hongyue put down the kettle in his hand and looked out the window: "Which side will be the winner of this bet?" ”

Second Circle Central Command Center:

"How long do you have to hold out? Can you make it until dawn? Morley contacted Len, Joe and Kate who were outside by phone.

"The enemy commander shouldn't be there, now the robot troops on my side are almost wiped out, and there is no sign of continuing to increase, it should be able to barely support until dawn, but if there is another accident, my side will really not be able to do it. Is there any news that there will be support at dawn? Joe's body was covered with dust, and the soldiers under him could barely see the appearance of people, and everyone was supporting their bodies with perseverance.

"The aliens on my side have not increased, and they have basically calmed down, so I will let the soldiers rest in place now. I'll go back to the circle in a while, and my body will be overwhelmed. Ling took the water handed by his soldiers and drank it heavily. The voltage in the body is less than 30% of the whole, so I should go back to the circle to recharge it now, but according to the current situation, it will take a day to fully recover to 100%, and there is not so much time yet. There has never been such a situation before, the body's power level is not lower than 65%, and when it reaches 10%, the body can only maintain standing and slow walking, so now we still try to maintain the body's energy.

"I don't have anything to worry about here. But it's better to end this soon! My agent told me that I wasn't allowed to be late for the next show at the seventh lap! Kate muttered disapprovingly. has done enough for Xiaoling to contribute to herself, and the ending of the second circle is already doomed, even if you work hard now, you can't match the doomed ending.

"I know what you're doing. The infection in the circle has been basically controlled under Brie's leadership, and just now the Hunters Association headquarters called, saying that reinforcements will arrive tomorrow morning, let's hold on a little longer. "Molly had just put down the phone at the association's headquarters and contacted the three people outside the circle so that they could rest assured.

"Why don't you come over now?" Kate questioned Morley dissatisfied.

And Morley didn't know how to answer Kate's question, because everyone knew the answer.

"I'll ask my father what he's going to do next, and then I'll contact you. We're going to close the line first. Morley put down the phone contact with the three people outside the circle. Then I dialed the special line on the 'garden' side.

Arsenal under 'Garden':

"You've lost this game again, you've already lost three rounds to me." The man held his chin in one hand and watched the chess endgame in front of him and Pud. "It's already 1:50, time flies so fast, anyway, no one has contacted you yet." The man was talking about a gamble with Pud.

What's going on with Morley's side now, it seems that there should be no big problem outside the circle, so he won't contact himself for so long. But there were still two hours left until four o'clock...... "There's still time, isn't it?" Pude didn't show any agitation. Pude is confident that Morley will definitely contact him, the staff outside have all died, and the weapon output outside the second circle has stopped, and now there should be no urgent need for weapons outside the circle, so Morley has not contacted himself. Once he contacted his side and there was no reply, Morley must have thought that something would happen here.

'Bell...... Ring...... 'Just then the crisp telephone rings in the silent hall!
