1.38 Devastated plot fragments

Newport City, Ghost in the Shell, a highly prosperous East Asian city.

Compared to arriving from a busy airport, you can only take a quick glance in the air. If a visitor approaches from the sea, you will be completely shocked by the steel jungle full of skyscrapers, dazzling neon lights on the streets, and colorful Chinese characters.

However, when you go deep into the block and witness with your own eyes the beautiful skyscrapers, there are disgusting electronic light fog, full of pronunciation garbage, and the wet and suppressed narrow back streets, like ugly scars. The humans who survived it will become an incurable acne in the city. It will bring another deeper subversive impact.

The old house is surrounded by colorful advertising signs; the narrow alleys covered by skyscrapers can only look up at the last line of the sky. Living people who have long been castrated by life are walking in the dirty eyes, their eyes are dull and their bodies are numb, and they completely ignore the exposed clothes in the window and are styling.

Slums are often red light districts, which is the Newport City in most people’s memory.

However, when ae86 dragged two long wheel marks into Xingang City through time and space, everything in front of him shocked Wu Chen.

This is a ruined city.

There are ruins of skyscrapers that are broken in half and full of holes. The remaining part is still intact, and the dead bodies are piled up like mountains. Many corpses hanging at the window are hugging each other tightly, spreading to the ground, and blending into larger piles of corpses. Without exception, these corpses have undergone different degrees of cyber transformation during their lifetime. Then they die collectively, like melted candles, countless corpses merge into one. The exposed wires, nerve bundles, subcutaneous tissues, bionic organs, and polymer materials are stewed into a pot of porridge. They are like solidified magma belts that once flowed freely along the narrow back street, swallowing everything.

The car-mounted intelligent brain quickly swept across the surroundings and found that none of the melted corpses were intact. They were all covered in skin and flesh, with ferocious faces and different postures, as if the lower half of their body was trapped in magma. The living dead who were struggling desperately were frozen at the moment of death. It seemed that the dead in the entire city were merged together. Upstairs and downstairs, on the streets, there were fusion corpses everywhere.

A full eye of corpses.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of electronic batter and human flesh burnt. "The master, the remains, are connected to each other, forming a huge prosthetic circuit. Because the prosthetic body is still charged, the human tissue attached to it did not rot, but turned into jerky."

Through the holographic window, he looked around the melted and solidified city. Wu Chen was shocked: "You mean, these residual sense bodies from human remains merged into a giant... loop."

"Yes, master." The car-mounted smart brain suddenly enlarged the picture.

I saw a small light lit up in the cracks of a large pile of corpses in the middle of the crossroads. Soon, a prosthetic eye emerged from the depths of the pile of corpses. Immediately, countless prosthetic eyes, like a hermit crab foraging, gushing out of the pile of corpses like a tide and spreading in all directions.

"Oh my God..." It seems that the intelligent brain is also infected by intensive phobia: "Humans are dead, and they are still 'living'."

As the owner of the prosthetic eye, humans are like plastic models melting at high temperatures. After cooling, they are doomed to die. However, the prosthetic body they carry is still stubbornly powered on standby. For example, the relatively flexible organs of the prosthetic eye, the prosthetic hand, etc. can leave the broken body and make food on their own?

The strange situation made Wu Chen's scalp numb and extremely cold.

The intelligent brain has named the remains of the prosthetic body that are fused with each other: "Syborg complexes".

What's even more terrifying is that the remains of prosthetic bodies are still charged. They form a circuit through the persecution remains that merge with each other, covering the entire city.

"Master, complete the commission as soon as possible." Enter the shooting location designated by the client to navigate, and calculate the best solution by fuzzy brain.

"Action." Wu Chen ordered.

"Yes!" The four female soldiers quickly got out of the car, opened the smart dragging at the rear of the car, and removed the transformed motorcycle.

"Armor maneuver." Wu Chen issued another order.

"clear."

Armored maneuver is an armored form between armor riding and armored flight. The female warrior wore armor, stepped on the rear wheel, and drove upright. It was similar to a single-wheeled balance bike, which could quickly maneuver on the road surface. The front wheels disengage themselves and transformed into a wheeled unmanned vehicle, which initiated the investigation.

The armored mobile form takes into account both movement and combat. It is called "Arcy Roller Skating" by the intelligent brain image. It is the common posture of the three Arcy sisters and the battle.

Four female armored warriors guard AE86 from front, back and left and right, carefully avoiding the cyborg complex all over the streets, and maneuvering quickly to the commissioned destination.

The four-wheeled unmanned vehicles that set out first have sent back the terrain along the way in real time. They are stored in the newly created data entries of Intelligent Brain Ai for big data calculations.

"The state of the Cyborg complex is like the human brain waves of deep sleep." As we penetrate into the city, the smart brain gains more and more.

"You mean, the giant circuit composed of Cyborg complexes is like a sleeping brain?" Wu Chen understood.

"Yes, master." Intelligent brain explained more deeply: "Even if the prosthetic body can store and analyze digital information, it does not have 'autonomy'. It is necessary for human users who implant the prosthetic body to enter commands to passively execute it."

Recalling what he saw along the way, Wu Chen suddenly realized: "This is the original intention of attacking the shell. It is connected to each other and merged into one."

"Connect." The intelligent brain understands more profoundly than Wu Chen: "It's like the body insertion between humans, and ultimately for the connection of the soul."

"Very, image." Wu Chen had no way to refute.

"So, the way humans reproduce is destined to desire deep connections with each other from the beginning of their birth." The divergent thinking of the intelligent brain seems to be inappropriate. Or it may have other profound meanings.

"It's very vivid." Wu Chen smiled knowingly, and the hellish experience in front of him was slightly relieved.

"The master, the 'Seborg complex belt' has very faint pulses of light signal. It is like the slowly flowing 'digital blood'." The intelligent brain partially amplifies the energy structure in the complex belt. The data fibers buried in the complex body and entangled with each other slowly and slightly convey the pulse signal. It is like the blood vessels covering the entire city, and are still working weakly.

"This is a city of zombies." Wu Chen understood: "All human corpses, mechanical creations, smart terminals, and even skyscraper ruins together form a Cyborg city. Or "city zombies". The whole city has become a giant Cyborg. In this way..."

"What to do?" Zhizhu has always liked the conversation with Wu Chen.

"Fighting death or continuing memory." After saying this, Wu Chen's heart was inevitably touched.

"I don't want to be forgotten even if I try everything, right?" Zhibu understood.

"Yes." Wu Chen nodded slightly.

As he drove out of a down tunnel, his eyes suddenly became clear. In the circular stadium surrounded by skyscrapers, the target object was quietly crawling on the collapsed pillar. A faint light was swimming in the half-open and half-closed eyes.

However, Wu Chen didn't know how to describe what he saw from the front window of ae86.

I racked my brains and couldn't even name it.

Because Wu Chen never lacks imagination, he cannot find any memories related to it.

What is this?
