Finished.

The "person", or rather the "engineer" who designed the virtual world, sensed the threat from the Red Queen and tried to break free from the constraints with all his strength.

But the Red Queen clearly had the absolute advantage, and the engineer suffered the same fate as those agents, turning into "green light sand" composed of 0s and 1s, slipping from the Red Queen's left hand.

It only lasted a few seconds before these "green light sand" completely dissipated.

After getting rid of the engineer, the Red Queen turned her attention to the desk where a large number of folders were piled up, and sat down on the office chair to begin the last two tasks of her mission.

The first is to "safely log out" humans who are still trapped in the virtual realm.

However, when acting with the Red Queen's thinking and logic, there is no secretiveness. It is guided by metaphors and makes a choice between red pills and blue pills.

She will use the authority she has wrested from engineers to broadcast the relationship between humans and machines and what the real world is like throughout the virtual world, disseminating the truth "roughly" and quickly.

Then in batches, human beings are gradually liberated while ensuring that the brain is not damaged.

However, when human consciousness leaves the virtual realm and goes to reality, although the brain is not damaged, the body cannot cooperate with them well. After all, it has never really run or jumped since birth, so it requires professional "personnel" to take care of it.

So while the Red Queen was executing the first item, she also needed to execute the second item, which was also a crucial item...

"devour".

…

Virtual world.

evening.

Norwalk Police Department in East Los Angeles.

In the lobby on the second floor of the police station, there are many police officers who have finished their shift and are chatting and relaxing. Among them is the young police officer who responded to the red queen incident in the morning and asked the sergeant about "doubting life".

The police officer sat on the public sofa with a solemn expression, turning his head to look at the street outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the right, lost in thought.

The sudden disappearance of the Red Queen, the agents turning into green sand, and many small details in daily life made him wonder what was going on in the world.

Fake?

"How can it be…"

The police officer smiled to himself and immediately eliminated the possibility that "this world is fake" because it was too absurd.

But just as he was relieved, the floor-to-ceiling window turned into a large screen...

It just turned into a screen??!!

The police officer stood up in disbelief, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. After confirming that his eyes were not blurry and there was no problem, his colleagues also noticed something unusual and rushed nearby.

"Where's the window? I remember this is a window? Who did this prank?!"

"This doesn't seem to be a prank, Sergeant. I saw the window turn into a screen before my own eyes."

"Me too, Sergeant."

"How is that possible? Your brains are all rusty?!"

"Look!" the young police officer shouted, interrupting the noisy debate and causing the hall to instantly return to silence.

At this moment, the screen lit up and began to play the truth about the war between humans and machines, as well as the tragic defeat of humans in captivity, and their consciousness being imprisoned in the virtual world.

Looking at the picture displayed on the screen, the sergeant immediately chose to deny it, turned to the open door of the office, and shouted: "Tracy! Ask the technical department to send someone over to deal with this screen!"

Then he reprimanded the police officers at the scene: "Don't let me catch who is pulling this silly prank!"

“…”

The young police officer didn't know what to say, so he went to explain to the stubborn sergeant that no one could do pranks like teleportation or changing objects.

"Be prepared..." At this time, an emotionless reminder came to his ears: "You may feel pain next, but you will also be reborn and gain true freedom."

newborn?

free?

The young police officer looked around and found that his colleagues also looked confused, as if they had also heard the reminder.

And before he could ask, a wave of dizziness quickly struck him, and darkness quickly filled the surroundings, and then...

"Well!"

It was the unbearable feeling of suffocation that made him struggle unbearably. His eyes regained vision again, only to find that his vision was hazy and surrounded by thick liquid.

What was even more horrifying was that he vaguely saw and felt extremely awkward "wire tubes" inserted into his body and the back of his head.

Finally, the police officer finally sat up, his upper body freed from the mucus, and his hands moved away the residue on his face so that he could observe the real world.

"Boom! Boom!"

Looking up, you can see the "scorched" sky with lightning and thunder.

Surrounded by Gaosong tower pillars that house humans, he was in an egg sheath in the lower area of ​​the tower pillar.

Relax and calm down.

Putting aside the impact of the real world, it is most difficult for him to accept it. It is his original parents who feel sad. At the same time, will the lover disappear completely and never meet again?

At this moment, a bee-shaped machine flew in front of the police officer, completed the scan with its red-light mechanical eyes, and then stretched out many slender tentacles.

Seeing this, the police officers instinctively wanted to resist, but they were unable to do anything and had no choice but to let the machine "play with it".

But after the machine assisted the police officers to remove the restraints of various "wires and pipes", instead of flushing them into the sewer as pollutants or performing cruel acts such as dismemberment, they used their tentacles to wrap the police officers and take them away from the egg sheaths.

Fly and shuttle through this captive pasture.

During this period, he also saw more awakened humans "enjoying" the same treatment, and many machines seemed to have been reminded long ago and directly took young children away from their egg sheaths.

"Seal" took him away from the pasture and to the sky above the ruins of the city.

There are more than a dozen large warehouses here that were temporarily and quickly built by machines.

"Bee" flew the police into the warehouse marked "Los Angeles 05".

He found that there was a multi-story structure inside, with neatly arranged "recuperation warehouses" on each floor for people who had just woken up to rest and recover.

Knowing that Los Angeles residents from the virtual realm gathered here, he couldn't wait and wanted to break free immediately to find acquaintances, but his body did not allow him to do so.

Leaving the viscous nutrient solution causes the body to gradually collapse, causing fatigue to quickly come over, and one cannot bear to fall into a lethargic state.

Later, "Bee" placed the police officers in a training warehouse to better adapt to the real world.

Leave the warehouse.

Looking around, you can see endless sentries and giant engineering machines, clearing the ruins in an orderly manner, as if they are preparing to rebuild the city.

At this moment, it was six hours after the Red Queen disposed of the engineer and completed the "devour" action on the machine side.

Cogler.

Metropolis District 09.

Local time: June 26, 2089, 02:14.

The parking area near the space gate.

In the upper cabin of the large transport boat, the Red Queen stood in front of the fixed desk, still reporting with a cold face:

"Chairman, now I have complete control over all authority, and all machines will follow your instructions to assist humans in that universe in rebuilding civilization.

Moreover, I have uploaded the data of the nano bugs covering the sky to the mother nest, so that the three-party joint team led by Dr. Wang Zhaofeng can conduct analytical research and relieve the sky from being "scorched".

At the same time, Eden's military generals, headed by Femini Okar, have accepted and actively cooperated with our reforms to Eden.

According to the program I set, the imprisoned humans are expected to wake up within seventy-two hours and completely escape from the virtual realm."

"Hmm..." Sui Bian, who was sitting on the office chair, nodded and responded.

In fact, the system reminded him six hours ago and "delivered" 72,000 points, which directly confirmed that the humans on the other side of the space gate were liberated and the machine threat was eliminated.

The Red Queen's seizure of authority was expected by Sui Bian. You must know that his secretary "conveniently" solved the embryonic Skynet ninety years ago.

After Umbrella's continuous updates and her independent evolution, the Red Queen easily dealt with the rebel machine.

He also learned about the "history" of that earth from the information copied by the Red Queen.

On the whole, it is similar to "The Matrix", but there is no scene where machines seek "equality" and "mutual assistance".

2042.

Machines are gradually "awakening", and some service-oriented machines are becoming "dissatisfied" and "disgusted" with providing services to the humans who buy them.

On April 14 of the same year, a young man named Gavry Princey who lived in Brooklyn, New York, was killed by a housekeeping machine he had just purchased.

July 28.

Governments around the world have begun to force the destruction of different types of machines in different industries.

Early August.
