1910 The beginnings of the night of Valpurgis
Sha shifted the resources she could transfer little by little, constantly testing the areas covered in gray fog and growing anomalous flesh and blood organs from the perspective of what she could think of and do, not only the gathering place that was once the core, but also the area covered by the safety network that had been restarted, the area that was shaped like a huge tree, the area surrounded by strange non-Euclidean geometric buildings, and the area where countless tubular structures were weaved. There are also areas of matchbox-like non-planned buildings stacked on top of each other, areas that are three or four times larger than any city I've ever seen before, and areas that look small but don't know how deep they are.

All of these areas that have been rebooted have been physically separated from other uncontrolled security networks to ensure that they are not invaded by the still frantic security network parts, or those that have been modified by the body's life. There should not have been gray fog in these places, originally all armed facilities have been included in the security list, with layers of firewall protection, without the authorization of Sha Zhi, it cannot operate on its own, however, the gray fog is still generated, from some basic points that Sha can not observe, Sha has all kinds of conjectures about this, and according to the clues implied by these conjectures, it is useless, it can only prove that the generation of these gray fog is definitely not a failure of his own control, or the scope of his own control is out of order.
On the other hand, the gray fog of unknown origin dispersed in all observable areas of Shah, making what was once under control strange and crazy again. All the natives living in the Ruling Bureau are well aware of what the Grey Mist means, and the Primal Life and the Grey Mist Demon are two of the most egregious of the threats that plague it, but they are not the only ones.
Everything that was once thought of as order will be chaotic, everything that would not happen under normal circumstances will happen, and people who are accustomed to following established rules will easily die in this sudden chaos. It is a very idealistic thing to want to give full play to one's ingenuity and ability under the premise of being prepared in advance, and actually surviving in the ruins of the Ruling Bureau, even if you have already been on guard, you will never know all the situations that will arise in the gray fog, and there will always be abnormal situations that are beyond your expectations, and you don't know where they come from or where to solve them, which will catch people off guard.
For all those who aspire to an established order, whether crude or surprising, fragile or solid, the changes brought about by the gray fog are absolutely the worst. The aborigines have suffered since the dawn of the Ruling Bureau, but at that time they were still a powerful ruling force of order, with the ability to turn the disorderly gray fog into an orderly force, with a complete and normal security network, and a thriving security guard defense system under the security network system. But when the ruling bureau was destroyed by the revolutionary wave triggered by the physical life in the predicament of the people's hearts, the once cruel but high-intensity order environment became completely crazy, and more people died.
The rampaging of the security network that oversees the defense and construction mechanisms, the physical life that is completely different from the human being, the gray fog that is completely out of control, and the many strange things that are born out of it, make people quickly realize that the world no longer belongs to them, and that the powerful, authoritarian and cruel social organization that once protected them is difficult to rebuild - of course, some people think that it can be rebuilt, but everyone knows that it will take more cost and longer.
In the embattled Dark Ages, the indigenous people were divided by the frantically added structures of each region, and under the watchful eyes of all kinds of unfriendly lives, races and phenomena, they lived with trepidation, trying to survive and improve the environment in which they lived.
Sha has gone through such a period, and is a person who has put in the effort, has the idea, the ability, the experience, and the luck in such a dark time. So, it wasn't anyone else who restarted the safety net, it was herself. The confidence she has in herself, her perception of her own style, is formed from the practice of success or failure again and again. Even after the safety network reboot, we didn't give up on imagining some major, devastating, and brutal turning point for our people.
From this point of view, the gray fog that was born out of nowhere, and the damage that the gray fog brought to the people in the gathering place and the expatriate team at such an important point in time, were not completely unexpected. However, it was indeed one of the worst situations she had envisioned.
The knowledge of the gray fog and the preliminary analysis of the anomalous flesh and blood organs made Sha not believe that there was anyone in any hostile organization and life, including the life of the body, who could be like a fish in water in such a mutation. That is, despite the major setbacks on her side, she also believes that the situation of the enemy will not be too good. It's just that the body life, which is regarded as a direct enemy, is indeed more suitable for this gray fog-filled situation in terms of physical structure, even if the abnormal flesh and blood organs that accompany the spread of the gray fog at this time have a soft spot for the texture of the structure and have an extraordinary corrosive power, it is not enough for Sha to feel that she can take advantage of the situation of being also disturbed by these gray fogs.
All the insurance done just in case was working, and the prosperity on the surface of the gathering believed the caution that Sha had always been keen, and she had never been in the habit of putting her eggs in the same basket. A gathering place is a place that accommodates indigenous peoples, tries to unite people who are divided into different regions, and has a painstaking order and system, but it is by no means a place where all resources are used.
It is not for nothing that this area was chosen as a gathering place, as the large and complex underground pipeline area, which is completely under the control of the reconfigured safety network, is much larger than the area above ground and more closely connected to several other areas. Sha relied on this area of underground pipelines to create a network of gecko-like defenses to ensure that in the worst-case scenario, she would be able to buy time to transfer resources and make a comeback.
Although in the eyes of others, Sha is like a queen who has lost all her pawns, but in Sha's own opinion, it is too early to say "lost". She tugged at the web she had weaved, listened to the information conveyed from the threads, and used her perceptual and arithmetic abilities beyond the ordinary human senses to try to obtain more information.
Hundreds of conveyor lines work together, and when the scheduled task of one conveyor line is completed, it will be processed by blasting, and on Sha's retina screen, the transfer of resources, including people and materials, has exceeded the bottom line listed by itself, and has increased to the extent of two-thirds of the total. For her, although the situation was still urgent, except for the fact that she could not contact the expatriate team, all other losses were still acceptable.
Because of this, it is even more important to work on the expatriate team. These expatriate teams are like her outstretched tentacles, each of them is an important intelligence point, and they are also the most effective personnel at present. Although losses are essential, it is even more important how much information can be recovered after losses.
If she could, she needed someone in these teams to survive from start to finish, to observe, organize, and judge information in a coherent way, to deduce and witness changes to other enemies. Of course, the outsider, Father Sissen, is only under him, and in order to effectively support the two, he can't passively wait for the other party to solve the problems he is facing, and then take the initiative to contact his side.
Sha has activated all the operational arsenals in the authority management, consuming as many resources as possible that cannot be taken away, and the low-level security guards who are several times dozens of times larger than the forces used to maintain order in the gathering place, and the self-propelled weapons commonly known as dead soldiers from outsiders have left the production line one after another and entered the control sequence of the security network.
On Sha's retina screen, a fog-covered three-dimensional battlefield has taken shape, relying on a security network to control her troops, she is like a real-time strategy esports player, looking for and determining the whereabouts of enemies from a long distance, in a huge area that cannot be described in words, and launching a tentative attack on all enemies.
There are various types of dead soldiers, including those that have been planned in the era of the Ruling Bureau, and the experimental types that Sha has designed in such a world based on his own experience, as well as new types that have been transformed from the existing types, and there are also fortress weapons that have been transformed with construction machines. There are not many construction machines allocated to the expatriate team, because the expatriates are all elites, and their number is not many, and at first it was hoped that they could be small and large - this is also a matter of no choice, although they seem to have gained a firm foothold, but the reality is still an absolute disadvantage, and the fact that the Physical, with the help of outsiders, conquered two-thirds of the ruins of the Ruling Bureau in one fell swoop, shows this - but such a naïve idea may attract a head-on, and such a possibility is not missed, Sha also thought of several ways to make up for it, however, things always happened like this, and the extreme disaster that almost overwhelmed her could not be avoided no matter what.
On the premise of preserving the possibility of a comeback, in a tightrope balance, Sha unleashed the corpses so large that they were easily detected by the enemy, and their sheer strength was not enough to counteract the enemy's countermeasures. Sha's intention in releasing them was only to attract the attention of the enemy, whether it was a physical being, an outsider, or something else weird.
Perhaps judging from the current situation, it was really a failed decision to not send a large army to invade those nodes that were pocketed by the body life but did not have time to transform it, but if it had really been done at the beginning, and attracted the attention of the enemy, and let the body life also have a general mobilization at the same time, the situation would not be better than now. Now, when she evaluates her previous decision, it is difficult to say whether her decision was correct, but in terms of results, it does not look the best.
Even so, it is impossible for Sha to turn back time and go back in time, and even if she goes back in time, she can't think of a better way to bring a better outcome. All in all, for Sha, this deterioration of the situation is almost an inexplicable, inevitable change, a certain power in the dark that runs throughout, beyond the scope of human beings who can find the right way, even if they work together, there is no way.
That kind of transcendence of human intelligence is revealed in this predicament full of inevitability, which makes Sha faintly have an ominous premonition. Is the reign that has barely lasted for many generations finally coming to an even more complete end?
Strange and powerful corpses from the aesthetic and perspective of humans poured out from all corners of the Ruling Bureau, some of which were operating in the open, others hidden in undetectable locations. They may also be seen from the tall buildings that everyone can see, and from the above of the tall buildings, the naked eye can only see the lights falling like starlight, like dumplings; Or from the shadows, from the deep buried in the dead corners of the structure and the impassable parts of the pipes, through all kinds of obstacles, and climb out in a vicious shape; Some of them completed the formation of the charge under the planning of the security network, and some of them appeared to be chaotic because the security network was interfered with; But whether it was orderly or disorderly, under Sha's overall control, Kankan maintained the ability to distinguish between friend and foe, and marched in a direction that Lian Sha did not explore clearly, and then was engulfed by the gray mist.
On Sha's retinal screen, the fog that had blocked the observation was becoming clearer and clearer, and the actual gray fog was not cleared, or rather, although it was prepared to be cleared, the gray fog was produced endlessly, and at a faster rate. However, with the help of the movable corpses, as well as the pre-arranged observation relay devices in the wreckage of the non-moving corpses, Sha managed to expand her horizons once again.
A large number of computing devices, organic and inorganic, are being transported or constructed, stacked in small mountains in predetermined locations, all laid out in a well-planned and experimental nature, and Sha is inflicting on herself the experimental masterpieces that she has not yet been able to finalize, in order to greatly increase her ability to dominate this war in such a demanding environment. Any experimental thing is full of dangers, and Sha certainly doesn't want to turn herself into a test subject unless it is necessary, but her ominous premonition makes her have no choice, although she has saved the materials for the comeback as much as possible, but if she can't make up her mind here and take some risky measures, she will probably really lose the opportunity to reactivate them.
