Time seems to stand still.

The lobby of the command center was almost full of corpses.

Xi Xiaofan fell in a pool of blood.

He died, Zeus's blow pierced his heart, and Xi Xiaofan, who had barely experienced any reinforcement, was fatally killed by a single blow.

Before he died, his eyes were still looking at the ceiling above his head, and he just muttered two words blankly: "Dad...... Mommy ......"

Shen Yi gently closed Xi Xiaofan's eyes and sighed.

After all, he failed to protect Xi Xiaofan.

The shortcut to success was indeed dangerous and rugged - it was destined to cost lives.

A light cough woke Shen Yi up from his melancholy and returned to the real world.

"Hey, Shen Yi. ”

Shen Yi turned his head slowly.

He looked at Zeus lying on the ground: "You are Marcus now?"

"Nope. The other party shook his head: "I'm still Zeus, to be exact...... It is Zeus who has the thoughts and feelings of Marcus. ”

"Really?"

Zeus laughed twice.

Its armor value was beaten to zero by Shen Yi, leaving only a little human life to support itself, and it lost control of the Skynet base, and could no longer use any ability to fight against Shen Yi, so it can be said that it has been defeated.

At this moment, it calmed down, just like the performance of people fighting to the end before they died, extremely calm and calm.

It is a manifestation of helplessness and acceptance of cold reality.

It said, "I think I'm starting to understand what it means to be human." As we know, humans are incalculable creatures, and you may be weak on the surface, but sometimes you can burst into great power. But the important thing is that I finally understand what I was wrong with. ”

"Oh, tell me?"

"I fell for you, Shen Yi. I shouldn't have just wanted to kill that boy. He wasn't really a threat to me at all. One minute and fourteen seconds, I could easily kill you if I had focused on dealing with you during this time. Even if I let that teenager take control of the base, I can easily take out him with my current strength, and then take control back......"

"You finally understand......" Shen Yi's eyes showed sympathy.

Xi Xiaofan is actually just a target to divert Zeus's attention. He distracted Zeus's attacks and lost his attention. Without Shen Yi, even if he handed over the ten Skynets to Xi Xiaofan to control, it would be impossible for him to use them to pose any threat to Zeus. As long as Zeus killed Shen Yi earlier, he could calmly deal with Xi Xiaofan and regain control of Skynet.

It is a common mistake of human beings to look at the present and seek the end at the expense of the basics, and it stands to reason that Zeus, who is good at calculation and analysis, would never make such a mistake.

But he did it.

The reason is simple, it is influenced by the human mind.

Possessing human emotions allows Zeus to feel more emotional processes and improve his intelligence, but it also limits his computing power. It may never understand why human intelligence is so closely connected to their hearts. So much so that since he had human emotions, Zeus has actually lost one of the most important abilities of being an intellectual brain - calmness.

From this point of view, Zeus is actually more human-like than Shen Yi, at least the former still has emotions to dominate thinking, but the latter is completely unaffected by emotions, even in the most difficult moments, he has to make the most calm analysis in order to defeat a powerful enemy.

"Actually......" Shen Yi thought about it, and finally said: "A machine is a machine, and there is no need to take the route of human development at all." Whether it is a machine or a life, it has its own development process. Your real mistake is not in making a bad judgment in battle, but in the beginning, you have gone astray in the direction of your evolution. I've talked to friends before about what kind of intelligence machines would develop if they had minds. I have come to the conclusion that different soils give birth to completely different ways of life, and therefore have different ways of thinking. But unfortunately, you don't seem to want to go down this path, but want to learn about human beings. This may be an evolutionary branch, but I personally don't think it's for you. This is the most important reason why you will fail. You're trying to have something that doesn't belong to you, so you're failing. ”

"You're right, the machine ...... There should be a way for the machine to survive. When I try to take shortcuts, I'm already in a process of self-destruction. You're just speeding up the process...... But you know what? I don't regret it at all. ”

"Oh?"

A smile appeared on Zeus's face.

He whispered, "It's nice to be human and feel that kind of wonderful emotion." Anger, fear, and despair make me uncomfortable, but I'm willing to have them. Shen Yi, you are human, but I found that your thinking is closer to that of a machine. I advise you, don't give up some of the qualities that human beings have, too much rational thinking will make you lose your feelings, and it will also make you no longer human. ”

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and Zeus continued: "Machines can't be extravagant with human emotions, and human beings shouldn't be too extravagant with the high-speed computing of machines. Otherwise you will go down the exact opposite path like me. ”

Shen Yi thought about it, and finally nodded: "Thank you, I understand." ”

"It's a pity that I can't understand what happiness and joy are, and what sorrow and sorrow are. What I can feel now is Marcus' last mood - atonement. ”

It looked at Shen Yi: "Kill me, do this last thing, and you will win me." It's in the heart of my brain, and I'm guessing you'd love to get that. That might allow me to survive in another way and get answers about you......"

As it spoke, it closed its eyes.

After thinking about it, Shen Yi aimed the muzzle of the gun at Zeus's chest.

Gunshots.

Zeus's body bounced on the ground a few times, and finally did not move.

I don't know why, after destroying this terrible boss, Shen Yi didn't have the slightest pride and joy in his heart.

The completion of this mission is too difficult and full of too many unexpected factors.

Shen Yi didn't like this.

In fact, no strong man likes surprises.

Accidents can sometimes be surprises, and sometimes they can be troubles.

For the strong, they would rather not be surprised than troubled. After all, accidents are uncontrollable factors, and the truly strong are more willing to get controllable results through their own efforts, rather than waiting for pie from the sky. Surprise may bring momentary joy, but trouble can bring the end of life.

The latter is clearly more problematic.

However, among all these accidents, there was one accident that Shen Yi wanted to know very much, and if he could, it might become a controllable factor for him.

That's ...... The girl in white.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi closed his eyes.

He activated the three-dimensional image memory again.

He hoped to see the little girl in white again in this way, but unfortunately, apart from the previous conversation between himself and Zeus, he couldn't see any more figures in the entire command center.

The Blood Emblem sent a cold hint: "You have completed the hidden mission, this mission ended early, and you will return immediately." ”

Shen Yi was stunned, and he quickly grabbed Marcus's corpse.

He hasn't gotten the Skynet master program yet.

However, a white light suddenly rolled up at this moment, rolling him towards that layer of misty space.

"No!" Shen Yi let out an unwilling roar.

This bastard in Bloody City didn't even give him a chance to collect loot!

―――――――――――――――

Coming to that bizarre space again, this time Shen Yi was no longer alone.

There were also gentleness, Hong Lang, King Kong and Luo Hao standing beside him.

When they saw Shen Yi, they cheered at the same time.

Gently rushed over and hugged Shen Yi, the red lips were already imprinted on Shen Yi's mouth, this sweet kiss calmed Shen Yi's angry heart somewhat.

"I'm so glad to see you again. Said softly.

Hong Lang also rushed over: "Ha, do you know how dangerous it was just now? The fat man said that there would be less danger in leaving, but in fact, I didn't think it could be much less at all, but the terrain was more open, and there was more room for us to maneuver." Just now, four Reapers, even fired at me at the same time. Lao Tzu almost hung up, and then I heard a whoosh, and I fell here. Ha, I didn't expect that we would be able to accept the mission reward together this time. ”

"This should be the reason for the formation of a formal team. King Kong interjected.

It was indeed very dangerous just now, if Shen Yi hadn't completed the task in time, one less of them might have appeared here.

The fat man said cowardly: "Captain, your hands are ......"

Only then did everyone notice that Shen Yi's right arm was gone.

"It's fine. Shen Yi replied: "If you want to do big things, you always have to pay some price." ”

"Looks like you're having a tough time with this mission?" King Kong frowned. He didn't worry about losing an arm, anyway, he could always repair it when he returned to the city, the problem was that Shen Yi's expression looked very bad.

In fact, since he met Shen Yi, he had never seen Shen Yi have such an expression. That face was full of anger, sadness, and luck after narrowly escaping death.

Once upon a time, the expression on Shen Yi's face would be so rich?

He didn't know that it was actually a reminder from Zeus: as a human being, there is no need to deliberately suppress his emotions. Calmness is certainly an excellent quality, but being too calm is actually making yourself more and more machine-oriented.

That's not something to reinforce, just as machines don't have to be humans.

Perhaps it was because of Zeus's advice that Shen Yi no longer hid his emotions at this moment.

He said: "Xi Xiaofan is dead...... He wouldn't have had to die. ”

This surprised everyone.

"How did you get to this point?" asked Gentle Surprise.

"Then we'll have to ask this damn bloody city. Shen Yi said coldly.

He suddenly shouted: "Don't you think you should give me an explanation? You borrowed Xi Xiaofan's hand to forcibly let us accept the task, you blocked my memory, let Skynet enter Marcus's body, created a difficult boss, and even snatched the loot that should have belonged to me! This is not like the way you should do things!"

When Shen Yi shouted this, he didn't expect any kind of response.

But at this moment, a vicissitudes of life male voice suddenly sounded in the space: "Of course, e5371, I was also planning to have a good chat with you." ”
