Chapter 17: The Game of Redemption
Under the operation of Zao Woushuang.
The electronic screen unfolded, and a light curtain appeared out of thin air.
A map appears on the light curtain, as well as a dot showing the geographical location.
Li Xiao couldn't understand this map at all, and he was not very familiar with this world.
"Hey, there's no signal blocking here?"
Li Xiao asked strangely.
After all, this is 10,000 miles under the sea.
"There's a signal shield, but there's also a receiver."
"People in this world rely heavily on AI to control everything, and all the electronic devices here don't have AI, they are manual, not isolated as you think," Zao explained. ”
Li Xiao nodded slightly, probably understood.
In addition to various monitoring equipment, everyone must have an AI system that can connect to the main light brain, which can actually monitor all people.
"No, even if that's the case, how can you detect Zhao Dazhi's location?" Li Xiaodao.
Zhao Wushuang smiled: "Do you remember that concert?" ”
Li Xiaos understood: "At that time, in order to find my location, you installed something like a detector for Zhao Dazhi?" ”
Zhao Wushuang said: "Yes, I was originally going to install a detector for you directly, but you guy, you only listened to two songs and left, is the song I sang so ugly?" ”
"Not really."
Li Xiao explained: "The main thing is that your song does not belong to this era, which makes me feel that the water in this world is very deep, and I don't want to wade into this troubled water, so I left earlier." ”
Zhao Wushuang: "But you still waded into this troubled water." ”
Li Xiao: "It is my duty to save the world." ”
Zhao Wushuang smiled: "However, if you make a mistake, you can save your friend." ”
Li Xiao: "Yes. ”
"By the way, weren't you curious before, where did Zhao Dazhi and those who suddenly disappeared go?"
Zhao Wushuang then clicked on the screen and said, "Now you can know the answer, this monitor is implanted in the body, and through the beta light, it can record things outside." ”
A picture popped up from the light curtain, it was Zhao Dazhi.
"Great ambition." Li Xiao's mood couldn't help but get nervous.
Because of Zhao Dazhi in the picture, his expression at this time was extremely painful, obviously the situation was not very good, and his legs were on the board.
The place where it appears in the picture is dim, and only a very bright light illuminates this area.
There are two high-rise buildings here, and Zhao Dazhi is on top of one of them.
Between these tall buildings, there is a 100-meter iron bridge.
It is a bit inappropriate to say that the iron bridge is only fifty centimeters wide, and below, there is a bottomless abyss, and there is no bottom.
On the other side of the iron bridge, there was a group of young people about the same age as Zhao Dazhi.
Oddly enough.
On them, each of them has a number number on their chest.
Zhao Dazhi's number is 18.
They were listening to something at this time, and after listening to the rules, everyone's faces showed a look of horror.
"Zhao Dazhi's situation is very bad now."
Seeing this, Zhao Wushuang worried: "Zhao Dazhi has gone underground, become a miner, and has been selected to participate in the redemption game. ”
"Miners? Redemption Game?? What the hell does this mean! ”
Hearing this name, Li Xiao felt uncomfortable.
It's definitely not a good game.
Zhao Wushuang said: "According to my grandfather's secret investigation over the years, we found that there are two kinds of people who have disappeared in the new world. ”
Li Xiao said: "Which two? ”
Zhao Wushuang stretched out a finger and said, "The first type is the person with time disorder. The time dilation of the new world is a hundred times, everyone has a long lifespan, and those who live long can even live for 10,000 years! At first glance, the world sounds beautiful, isn't it? ”
She paused, then continued: "It's a pity that most people will be born with a disease called time confusion because of time dilation as they get older. The older you get, the more likely you are to get the disease. Once you have this disease, your time perception will be confused, and you will slowly enter dementia, which is not actually dementia, but your perception is a hundred times slower, and it takes two or three hundred seconds to listen to a sentence that can be heard in two or three seconds. Such people are useless to the new world and will be forcibly 'retired' and put into retirement homes in retirement areas. However, there is no such thing as a retirement area, and there are no retirement homes. In fact, it is just to avoid the panic of the people, being thrown in an area like garbage, and leaving them to fend for themselves. ”
“.”
This world is really cruel, and the people in power really treat everyone as slaves, and life is worthless to them.
Li Xiao suddenly thought of the Yutai people in the previous world he had traveled.
These people do not have a state, they pick large and powerful countries to settle down.
Born good at business, very wealthy.
At that time, a certain powerful country where they settled suffered great losses because of the war.
However, these businessmen are reluctant to help the country through the economic crisis.
Even when there is an oversupply of milk, it is better to dump it than to sell it to the poor at a reduced price.
They control the economy here and jeopardize stability.
These actions made this person feel hatred for the Judhai.
Eventually, someone thought the gang was a bunch of bloodsuckers and started a slaughter against them.
These people, they immediately fled in all directions.
At the same time, they prayed to other countries to take them in.
At first, they used money to fund the Wa Kingdom, hoping to let the Wa State occupy a piece of land in the north of China and become their habitat.
However, in the end, it did not succeed, because the Wa State was also a lowly nation, took the money, fought the land and wanted to occupy it by itself, and finally failed.
Eventually, they begged other countries to take them in.
With a slogan "They ruined our homeland, don't ruin our hope again" was accepted by a nation.
But soon, this group of people developed.
Raise an army with money, arm.
As a result, the land has been plunged into war and people have been displaced.
Eventually, they occupy the magpie's nest.
Occupied half of the country.
This is a typical farmer and snake story.
No matter how kind a farmer is, he can't influence a poisonous snake.
And now, this group of bloodsuckers has directly fallen on the body of the Ming Dynasty to suck blood, and everything has become their wedding dress.
"Damn it, these guys."
Li Xiao took a breath and said, "But Zhao Dazhi is only twenty-two years old, so he wouldn't have fallen ill so early." ”
"So he's the second."
Zhao Wushuang explained: "The second type is debt, when the debt exceeds 100 million and cannot be repaid, it will be caught in the dungeon. ”
Li Xiao was surprised: "Dungeon? ”
Zhao Wushuang said: "That's right, 100,000 meters underground, there is also a city underground, enter there, pay off the debt, and you can leave." What awaits them is the hardest and most tiring work, that is, mining, the so-called mine is not an ore, but a kind of energy, that is, the 'supercrystalline' used in this world to generate electricity, a small piece, enough for a building to generate electricity for a hundred years. Finding and mining supercrystals is the job of miners. Very few people can pay off their debts and leave, and it is hell there. They will give hope to most people, but in the end they will only die there. There are likewise many ways to exploit you and make you never able to pay off your debts. The only way to leave, which is the game of redemption. If you win the game and get 10 billion money, you can not only pay off your debts, but also return to the ground and become a human being."
"I'm afraid, this is also fake, right?"
Li Xiaodao.
"No, it's true."
Zhao Wushuang said: "I know that there is a person who left the dungeon, his name is Kaiji, but unfortunately, he came out of the underground and all the money he obtained was cheated away by a woman, and finally became an ordinary person." ”
Li Xiao: "This is really an unlucky guy." ”
Li Xiao said strangely: "But why does Zhao Dazhi owe 100 million?" It shouldn't be."
Zhao Wushuang asked, "In the past few days, have you noticed that Zhao Dazhi has behaved strangely?" ”
Li Xiao thought for a while: "Fifteen days ago, Zhao Dazhi seemed to tell me that he liked a girl and saved enough money to marry her. I didn't care too much about it at the time."
Zhao Wushuang pondered: "It is likely that for this reason, there are some fishing girls in this world, who are unwilling to work, and use their beauty and feelings to pick Kaizi to cheat money. In this world, gambling is legal. Even if he cheats a poor bastard, he can cheat a lot of money if he wins the gamble after borrowing money. As for losing the bet, it doesn't matter if you catch the girl, it's just to find the next one. Perhaps, this is the reason why Zhao Dazhi is in debt"
Li patted the table angrily, and said with some guilt: "Damn! It's so damning! It's all to blame for the fact that I cared less about Dazhi some time ago, and let him be deceived! ”
"Don't blame yourself just yet."
Zhao Wushuang pointed to the screen: "They started to leave." ”
screen.
There were already three numbered people walking along the iron bridge.
Zhao Dazhi was in the back, he was trembling constantly, and he didn't dare to step on it.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the air, and the person in front of him, out of fear, squatted down and touched the iron bridge with both hands.
Zizizi——
The sparks bloomed, and the person was instantly electrocuted like charcoal, and then fell, and then, after the few people in the back saw the person in front of them electrocuted, they also made an 'ah' sound, and fell down in fright.
In the blink of an eye, four people had died.
Zhao Wushuang frowned slightly: "This iron bridge should be electrified, people can only move forward with their feet, and they can't touch the iron bridge with their hands, otherwise they will be electrocuted to death." Moreover, the game seems to have a time limit, and once the time is over, the edifice made of liquid metal will deform and push them into the abyss. ”
"What then!"
Li Xiao's heart couldn't help but hang, and he said worriedly: "Isn't Zhao Dazhi dead." ”
"Far water can't quench your thirst, you can only ask for more blessings"
Zhao Wushuang said: "I didn't expect that Zhao Dazhi would be selected to participate in the redemption game so soon, as long as he passes this level, he can choose to continue to the next level, or return to the underground level." The first level should be a prize of one million, the second level is ten million, the third level is one hundred million, the fourth level is one billion, and the fifth level is ten billion. After passing five levels in a row, you can return to the ground with 10 billion, or choose to pay off your debts in the third level. ”
Li Xiao said: "I know Zhao Dazhi, with his cowardly character, after passing this level, he will definitely not choose to continue." ”
Zhao Wushuang said: "That's good, there is a great chance of surviving like this, the first level is the easiest, only with a good mentality, in fact, it is easy to get this million." The most terrible thing is that most people, after getting a million, become greedy and continue to gamble until they lose their lives. ”
"Dazhi, you must go over." Li Xiao muttered: "After this pass, my brother will go to save you immediately." ”
"Are you going to keep watching, or are you going to follow me to craft weapons right away?"
Zhao Wushuang reminded: "Time is pressing, and watching here will not solve any problems." First and foremost, we need to create a number of weapons that are worth it. ”
Indeed, no matter how worried Li Xiao is now, it will be useless.
If it was in the Ming Dynasty, he could wave his hand, and there would be countless people for him to drive into this so-called underground layer.
But now, he has no hands and no weapons.
I can only rely on myself for everything.
Li Xiao thought about it, didn't plan to continue watching, got up and said, "Don't waste time, let's go build weapons first, I believe that Zhao Dazhi will definitely survive this hurdle." ”
"Ning Yun, are you tired, why don't you sit here and rest?" Li Xiao turned his head and looked at Zhu Ningyun.
I don't know how long it has been now, it's almost a day and a night, and Zhu Ningyun is indeed a little tired.
"Go ahead, I'm watching Zhao Dazhi here, if he has anything, I'll remind you at any time."
Zhu Ningyun said, she planned to give the two of them a chance to be alone.
And now Li Xiao is all about saving Zhao Dazhi and saving the world, so naturally he doesn't see Ning Yun's careful thoughts.
On the other side of the lab, there is a dedicated place to build equipment.
A three-metre rectangular black countertop with many tools scattered around it, as well as a light curtain to operate.
"How so? Get a batch of firearms? ”
Li Xiao asked, "I just don't know if you have any raw materials here. It seems that in this time and space, the development of firearms stopped after the first generation of automatic rifles, but in my head, there are more advanced blueprints. ”
Zhao Wushuang said: "It's a pity that most of the solid metals in this world have been eliminated, and there is no such thing as gunpowder, those are all products of the old era, using you as an analogy, it is equivalent to digging out bronze in your world, which is as rare as not being made at all." ”
"Ah???h
Li Xiao was stunned, "There's not even metal, so it's a fart." ”
"Yes, let's make some bows and crossbows out of wood." Li Xiao proudly: "My archery skills are unparalleled, but I can shoot halberds." ”
"A good person is Lu Bu, and a red rabbit is among horses."
Zhao Wushuang smiled apologetically: "There is no wood, this is the bottom of the sea, where can I find wood for you?" Moreover, most of the trees in this world have been cut down more than 200 years ago, and the remaining natural deep forests are also the natural oxygen of those in power, and they can't get it at all. ”
Li Xiao was very puzzled: "There is no this, there is no that, so what should I do. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice."
