Chapter 36: Reversal of the Situation
Lucy was very surprised to see that Kevin actually had the energy management authority of this seven-star hotel, and it was also the highest level, and just opened her mouth to ask, "How are you..." Kevin smiled and shook his head. Seeing this, Lucy stopped asking.
After the permission verification is passed, the light curtain displays the data of the hotel's energy supply and use, as well as various management control options. Lucy was dazzled and confused by the information, but Kevin's operation seemed to be mastered.
"I'm going to concentrate all the energy supply of the entire hotel on Superbrain." Kevin said as he turned off the energy supply to all other systems and departments in the hotel, and then supplied all the energy to Superbrain.
Soon, the energy system issued a red warning: the local electrical load was too high and the system was about to collapse. But Kevin didn't stop the operation, he continued to activate the reserve energy and load it into the energy supply line of Superbrain.
Lucy only heard a "pop", and the entire columnar crystal dimmed, and all the electrical equipment in the room, such as the shade and air conditioner, also stopped running. Soon, Kevin and Lucy heard a commotion outside the room. They heard someone shouting, "Why is all the electrical equipment down, go and see what's going on." ”
The two of them soon heard footsteps from far and near. Kevin immediately gestured to Lucy with his hand, and Lucy understood. Kevin hid behind the door, while Lucy sat in the corner pretending to have her hands tied.
When someone opened the door and walked into the room, they found that Lucy was the only one, and asked sharply, "Why are you the only one?" ”
Lucy deliberately slurred and spat on his behalf. Impatient, the visitor took a few steps forward, grabbed Lucy by the collar and was about to move. Kevin flashed out from behind the door and slammed a blow to the back of the head, causing the man to collapse to the ground without firing.
At this time, there was a chaotic sound outside the door, as if there was a conflict between two factions. The two of them looked out the door, only to see that the waiters in the restaurant had really escaped control, and their brains had returned to normal.
In accordance with their nature and duty to maintain order in the hotel and protect the safety of customers, the waiters demanded that the militants release the customers and leave the hotel. The militants, of course, were not willing to give up, and fierce clashes broke out between the two sides.
The attendants struggled with the militants, trying to seize each other's weapons and subdue them. The militants opened fire on the attendants, injuring more than a dozen people. Unarmed, customers had to hide behind the wide tables and chairs, but people continued to get injured in the chaos.
Although the militants are armed, humanoid AI also has a subtle advantage over ordinary people. First of all, even relatively low-level artificial intelligence has a brain that is far better than ordinary people in adapting, judging and responding to the surrounding environment and emergencies. At the same time, its physical strength and speed are not comparable to ordinary people. In addition, their survivability is also far superior to that of the average person. Even if they are seriously injured, as long as their brains are not fatally injured, their lives are not in danger.
The weapons held by the militants are all small and light weapons, and they have no advantage in the face of dozens of humanoid artificial intelligence, but gradually fall into disadvantage in close combat.
Kevin and Lucy took advantage of the chaos outside to slip out. Lucy returned to her parents, and when they saw that they were all safe and sound, they hugged each other tightly with excitement.
Kevin finds two companions and discusses how to leave the hotel and ask for help.
