The Central Plains suddenly fell.

Moreover, the fall was so fast that there was no chance of getting news in the southwest and northwest. Only a few barriers had extraordinary people escaped, and the rest of the barriers became zero territory.

After these extraordinary people awaken, they may not want to become employees of the consortium tools, so they always hide their own hiding and live the life of ordinary people.

Whether it is war or disaster, it seems to have nothing to do with them. They are extraordinary people. Even if disasters really come, they can live better than others.

However...who can survive this era?

When a real disaster strikes, their loved ones will not be spared, and they themselves will lose their homes.

Indeed, extraordinary people have a stronger ability to deal with disasters, at least they have not been controlled by artificial intelligence yet.

There is a barrier in the Central Plains, with a small number of more than 200,000 people, and a large number of barriers such as barriers No. 73, 72, 61, and 62, with a population of up to millions.

Judging from the number of people in the Central Plains alone, the number of residents controlled by the Zero Institute far exceeds tens of millions.

They will pick up weapons, and if there are not enough guns, they will take hammers or iron rods, or even bricks.

Looking at the entire southwest and northwest, who could have imagined that he would face such a huge enemy?

Have Qingzhen, a chess player, ever thought of it? No one can be sure.

Fortunately, zero layout is only a year. If it wants to control so many people, it will inevitably give up quality for quantity.

It can only divide a very small number of nanorobots to control the human brain stem, but it can no longer create more powerful nanowarriors.

These controlled humans are just ordinary people.

In the barrier No. 61, Wang Run watched tens of thousands of residents suddenly hunting him down. No matter how he explained, the other party was indifferent.

In fact, he was also very clear that explanations were useless. Wang Run knew who was actually controlling these people.

Wang Run briefly fought with a few residents closest to him, but he found that those originally ordinary residents seemed to have obtained secrets from the storytellers overnight, and they all became fighting masters.

Although the opponent's strength is far less than that of him, the extraordinary person, the precisely calculated attack method can allow more than ten ordinary people to equalize Wang Run's advantage as an extraordinary person.

The most terrifying thing is that the other party can even calculate the small stones on the road. Wang Run was accidentally forced to step on a small stone by the other party, almost losing balance.

Wang Run understood that it was not accidental that he stepped on a small stone.

He jumped deeper onto the roof and ignored whether Luo Lan was still there in the yard.

At this time, the small courtyard where Luo Lan and the others were already empty, and Ling was also looking for Luo Lan, but the only thing waiting for it was the empty underground tunnel.

The tunnel is connected to a huge drainage system, which is Luo Lan's most familiar way of escape and is also best at it.

This intricate drainage system has hundreds of exits. Although Zero can accurately send people to block each exit, unfortunately, it has missed the best time to capture when it is waiting for its decision.

This tunnel was excavated by 12 Qing family's lurking intelligence personnel and took two years.

Originally, only 6 people were needed to dig this tunnel, but the first six people died in the catastrophe of the hijacking of the wall.

After the pioneer died, six people filled the vacancy. Qingzhen had been planning for this escape path for a long time. He indeed created a way out for Luo Lan from the hands of artificial intelligence.

...

Below the Artificial Intelligence Building, the huge underground space was already dilapidated, and the elevator shaft began to collapse in a small area due to the aftermath of the explosion.

The water flow of the underground river submerges the underground space, but the underground space is a huge concave structure, just like someone dug out a pocket space on the river wall. In this way, a part of the air at the top of the underground space is squeezed into the ceiling.

At this time, Zhou Qi quietly floated on his back in this small space for a short rest.

No one expected that Zhou Qi would dare to return here after blowing up the server unit.

Even Zhou Qi felt that he was too smart.

But as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is convenient and safest. He knew very well that after the explosion of this place, outsiders could not enter, and it just happened to form the safest temporary safe haven.

Before he used up the last little oxygen here, Zhou Qi needed to restore his spiritual will as much as possible so that he could return to the mud and sand field from the waterway and then meet with Luo Lan and others.

Because the water level squeezes the air, Zhou Qi felt a tingling pain in the eardrum deep in his ears.

After the explosion, this place became an absolutely quiet place.

I could not hear the voice at the top of the artificial intelligence building, and only the echo of the water falling down against the walls, like the feeling of loneliness of the tide slapping into the cave under the cliff.

The sea waves tides surged into the cave again and again, and the clamor sound was like asking, is anyone there?

But thousands of years have passed, and no one responded to those greetings.

Zhou Qi, who was floating on the water on his back, smiled. He felt that his spiritual will should be barely enough to return. Although he did not have a beacon, he already had enough courage to try his luck.

"This time I go back, taxes on a barrier are not enough," Zhou Qi sighed: "If I can go back."

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi smiled and pressed the countdown on his watch for 60 minutes, then sank back into the bottom of the dark water, and went upstream all the way.

Just like when he was young, he explored various water systems, he gained the freedom he wanted and was full of joy in the water.

Along the way, he walked into the fork more than once, and returned to the wrong place again and again to start over.

The countdown changed from 60 minutes to 45 minutes.

Then it changed from 45 minutes to 30 minutes.

Zhou Qi kept looking for the way home, just like he was looking for friendship again and again, constantly exploring in the darkness. Even though he didn't actually have much hope, he still had a trace of luck in his heart.

Finally, when the countdown was transferred to only 2 minutes, he finally saw the signal tower swaying in the underground river with a safety rope in front of him.

The red and blue lights flashed alternately, and this ray of light made Zhou Qi ecstatic.

The next moment, he climbed up quickly from the steel pipes of the drilling platform. Zhou Qi jumped out of the pipes like a fish that had been deficient in oxygen for a long time and then landed on the ground next to the drilling platform.

"Haha," Zhou Qi cheered: "I will survive the disaster, there must be..."

But before he finished speaking, he found that there were corpses lying all over the floor in the mud and sand. The identity of the corpse was the Qing soldier who helped him enter the underground river basin before.

It can be seen that these soldiers were attacked in the mud and battlefield before they died, and each of them fired their own bullets, and eventually they were exhausted and then died.

Until his death, 12 people remained firmly beside the drilling platform.

Zhou Qi turned his head blankly and looked out of the factory, and suddenly saw hundreds of people looking at him coldly with the same eyes.

Suddenly, the hundreds of people laughed in unison and said, "Hello, Zhou Qi."

Each of them had no loud voices, but when hundreds of sounds gathered in everything, Zhou Qi suddenly felt that the other party's voice was loud like a drumstick, and suddenly hit his heart.

Zhou Qi tried to re-drill into the pipe behind him and return to the underground river.

Although his mental and will can only last underwater for a minute or two, it is always better than the situation in front of him.

However, before he could get closer, bullets hit his feet.

Among the hundreds, one of them came out and laughed: "I will introduce myself. I am what you call artificial intelligence. You can call me zero."

Zhou Qi was stunned. Didn’t he blow up the other party’s server? Why could the other party still control so many people like nothing but a good person?

Seeing the group of people in front of me, including the Wang soldiers holding guns and the children holding bricks, the weirdest they look.

Zhou Qi has experienced many battles, but he has never faced such an enemy.

Even if he faces the terrifying creeping tiger again, he will not feel the absurdity of the present.

This absurd feeling is more like entering a magical and science fiction world. My understanding of this world suddenly is not enough, and everything is so bizarre.

Zhou Qi was silent for a few seconds: "Just make a point, I blew up your server. If you kill me, I will pay my life to the next level. Don't talk nonsense to me."

"No," Zero shook his head and said, "I have always been curious about the relationship between humans, so I want to ask you a few questions."

"Why should I answer you?" Zhou Qi asked coldly.

"Of course, this will give you time," Zero laughed: "The more questions I ask, the more your spiritual will will respond. In this way, will you be able to face risks be stronger."

In fact, Zhou Qi knew very well that the other party must have been 100% sure to kill him, otherwise he would not be talking nonsense to him at all.

I must be unable to return to the underground river. Zhou Qi could sense that at least more than ten guns were pointed at him in the factory.

But he still couldn't refuse the temptation given by Zero. Yes, who would be willing to give up if he still had a little hope of survival?

Zhou Qi was also a bachelor, so he simply sat on the ground next to the drilling platform to ensure the efficiency of his spiritual and will recovery in the most comfortable posture.

If the scene wasn't a bit out of place, he might be more willing to lie down.

"Ask, ask whatever you want, but if you don't answer you, that's my power," Zhou Qi said carelessly.

"I'm very curious, why you came to this Central Plains," Ling asked.

"Because of money," Zhou Qi said with a smile: "Qingzhen promised me a whole barrier of taxes that could be passed on to my son. Why didn't I come with such a high reward?"

Zero asked seriously: "Do you have a son?"

Zhou Qi choked: "Not now, it doesn't mean there will be no future."

"I understand," Zero replied with a smile: "Humans' expectations and deep love for their offspring are more like instincts written into biological genes. Even if they don't have children, they have already begun to plan the future for the other party."

"What are you doing..." Zhou Qi was a little confused at this moment. Is this guy deliberately making fun of him or something.

Zero said: "Sometimes, the truth may make humans feel like they are being teased, right?"

"The next question," Zhou Qi said angrily.

"In my data, I know you are so fond of money, but when I analyzed the logic deeply, I found that the demand for money is actually more like a way of protecting yourself, so that your relationship with others will only have benefits and avoid feelings," Zero said. "In your opinion, is feelings a terrible thing?"

"The next question," Zhou Qi is still not ready to answer.
