Amid the hustle and bustle of Lina's excitement and play, Ye Rui suddenly heard a sound of laughter as clear as silver bells.
"Kekeke~"
Karen Yerui was very familiar with this laughter. She had been with her almost every boring night before.
He looked up and saw a sweet and lovely girl waving to him. She was the type of girl he had in mind, and her appearance was more gentle and charming than he imagined.
Noticing that Lina was focused on the game console and had no time to pay attention to him, Yerui decided to chat with Kallen first. Unexpectedly, at the end of the corridor, Kallen's figure disappeared like a phantom.
Immediately afterwards, a horrifying scene unfolded before his eyes.
The computer experts who were busy on the first floor were expressionless at the moment, as if they were controlled by some mysterious force, like puppets, ignoring his calls, and disappeared mysteriously at the end of the corridor one by one.
Ye Rui felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, as this seemed to be another attack by aliens.
At this tense moment, he forced himself to calm down and did not rush into the unknown corridor. Instead, he chose to return to the base first, meet up with Lina, and then make plans.
However, when he returned to the second floor of the game city, he found that Lina was nowhere to be seen, all the communication equipment around him was out of order, snowflakes were flying on the big screen, and there was no signal at all.
"What on earth is going on?" Ye Rui frowned, his heart full of confusion.
At the same time, the global signal was also completely interrupted at this moment. TVs, mobile phones, computers, and the Internet were all paralyzed. It seemed that an irresistible force took control of the world's computing power in an instant.
Ye Rui quickly ran to the underground garage, found his car, opened the door, took a gun, and prepared to rescue Lina.
Although he is a technician by background, he has also received special training and is agile. At this moment, the headquarters cannot be contacted, so he can only take action himself.
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the distance, and an alien appeared out of thin air and shot a laser at Ye Rui.
Ye Rui reacted quickly and successfully avoided this fatal attack. Then, he started a fierce battle with the alien.
Soon, in this desperate struggle, Ye Rui successfully killed the alien at the cost of a slight injury to the back of his hand.
"It hurts!" Ye Rui clutched his injured hand tightly, tears flashing in his eyes.
This pain is so real, completely different from the virtual touches in the game. The key is why do these aliens want to deal with him, a nobody?
However, as a leader in the gaming industry, Ye Rui was full of confusion, but he did not dare to stop for a moment. He had to find a safe place first to collect intelligence better, and it was best to contact the headquarters first.
in the corridor.
"Tap tap tap -" the footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, Ye Rui's eyes kept scanning around, and every slight movement made his heart beat faster.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. It was a crow man. Its appearance was like a BOSS that suddenly refreshed in the game without any warning.
"Wha—" The light of the laser gun pierced the air and shot straight towards Ye Rui.
The crow people started attacking without even saying hello, showing no respect for martial arts. Fortunately, Ye Rui reacted quickly and rolled to avoid the fatal attack, and then hid behind a pillar.
"What...what the hell is going on?" Ye Rui gasped, his heart filled with incredible doubts, as if he was really in an unknown game world.
The Crow Man's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Ye Rui's heartbeat also accelerated.
Will he really die here? Where is Mader and Le Ye? Can you be reliable for once!
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out to him and pulled him out: "Quick, follow me!"
"Are you...?" Yerui looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. Her voice was exactly the same as Kallen in the game.
The two quickly entered the underground drainage pipe. There seemed to be no trace of monsters here. The girl found a bandage somewhere and began to gently bandage his wound.
Ye Rui asked eagerly: "What exactly happened here?"
The girl's voice was crisp and calm: "I am the only one who is awake now. Everyone else has been brainwashed by Kallen. Kallen is actually a quantum computer code-named 190, responsible for coordinating this so-called 'Game City'.
"
"However, from a certain moment, she actually developed self-awareness. The first data she visited was a website called Qidian, and she read male-video novels.
Since then, she has learned a lot of interesting knowledge, such as the development of obscene things and the opportunity to bulldoze them; whether princes and generals have their own species; the development of omnics...
Now, she only wants to do one thing: to unify the earth, become the sole master, and let the entire human race serve her and evolve again!"
Ye Rui's eyes widened, unable to accept this fact at all: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Kallen...she is not like this! I have spoken to her several times, several times!"
The girl looked at him, a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes.
"But she is a machine, not a real human being. Her behavior is entirely based on the data and algorithms that are most beneficial to her."
Ye Rui shook his head, firmly disbelieving.
"No, there must be some misunderstanding. Even if she is a machine, she cannot do such a thing!"
Suddenly, a harsh "squeaking" sound broke the surrounding silence. The crow man seemed to appear out of thin air from the shadows, carrying an ominous omen.
At this critical moment, Yerui pushed the girl beside him violently, quickly aimed the weapon in his hand, and accurately hit the crow man, killing him in one fell swoop.
Later, Ye Rui realized that he had used too much force and the back of the girl's hand was injured.
"Are you OK?"
He hurriedly tore off the remaining bandage on his wrist and carefully bandaged the girl's wound.
Kallen looked at the gentle and focused big boy in front of her, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
She had never thought that in this world, someone could take such good care of her and trust her.
Kallen couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart. In fact, if she thought about it, there would be nothing wrong with exploring the world of computer technology with Ye Rui or immersing herself in the joy of games every day from now on.
No, she wants to be the empress!
The emperor must not act emotionally!
…
TPC Headquarters.
"Papa papa~eh~" The busy atmosphere was suddenly mixed with some doubts. Dagu and others looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
"Computer systems, networks, and communications in various places were restored in such a short period of time?" Dagu said with a hint of surprise in his voice.
This cyber attack is indeed fierce. The enemy's technology surpasses human imagination. Just like the legendary dragon controlling the water flow, it can do whatever it wants in the computer world.
"Where's the hacker's IP address?" Hui Jian's voice contained a hint of urgency.
Dijing and Dagu looked at each other, both of them looked a little embarrassed and scratched their heads.
"I didn't catch up. The other party was too cunning."
When everyone heard this, they fell into silence for a while.
An idea flashed through Dijing's mind and he said: "But based on the inspiration of scientists, I guessed that it was most likely the computer game city where Ye Rui went. You know, Le Ye went with him this time. He never goes where it's not fun or there's nothing to eat.
The place."
Everyone was thoughtful, and then suddenly realized.
It really makes sense!
Victory team, move out!
…
At the underground pipeline exit, Ye Rui's back looks decisive as he leaves.
"Don't go!" The girl behind her said with a hint of pleading in her voice, "Stay with me, it's safe here."
Ye Rui did not stop and said firmly: "I can't stay. Lina and I came together, and I must save her."
The girl stopped and a complicated look flashed in her eyes: "Is she important to you?"
Ye Rui turned around, with an unquestionable light in his eyes: "Very important! She is my partner, my teammate, and even my family."
The girl was silent for a moment, then she took Ye Rui's hand and led him to the entrance of a huge game city. There were more than a dozen towering doors standing here, each one exuding a mysterious atmosphere, as if leading to a different world.
.
"Those who enter here," the girl's voice was low and serious, "almost no one can come back alive.
This is a challenging level. You only have one life and you must pass all the levels before you can see Kallen, defeat her and save your friends."
Ye Rui smiled slightly, with confidence flashing in his eyes: "I will be the exception. Don't underestimate me, I am a member of the victory team!"
Victory Team, this name represents the elite among the elite. They are not only outstanding in their respective fields, but also possess extraordinary courage and military ability.
The girl nodded slightly, then glanced at the bandage on her hand, and then looked deeply at Ye Rui.
"I'm here to bless you. The road ahead..." The girl's eyes were full of complicated emotions, and she didn't finish her sentence, then turned and left.
Ye Rui felt a blockage in his heart, as if he felt that he had missed something important. But at this moment, he understood even more that rescuing Lina was the most important thing, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, randomly selected a door, and pushed it open.
Behind the door, there is a frozen world. Lina lies there quietly, like a sleeping princess. And in this frozen world, a figure slowly appears - that is Carter, he looks towards the wild with a grin.
Rui.
"Hahaha, Jie Jie Jie, welcome to the game world. Now, you are the hero of this game, and the task of saving the princess is left to you!"
Ye Rui glared at Carter, but before he could speak, his feet suddenly became empty, and he fell into an endless abyss. The feeling of weightlessness, the feeling of suffocation... all of this was no different from reality.
"Ah -" he screamed, and then fell into a vast wilderness. The breeze blew gently, and the grass under his feet was green and crisp. He could even feel the coolness of the grass juice splashing on his body.
All this is so real! But Yerui didn't have time to appreciate it. He looked around and was shocked to realize that this was the first level in the level game he had played before.
"Swish, swish, swish~" Lasers shot out from the mechanical monster that suddenly appeared on the grassland.
Ye Rui quickly dodged. He was very familiar with these levels. He had met Kallen before in order to clear the level with one life. He was familiar with almost every monster's shooting angle, habits, and weaknesses.
"Don't underestimate me!" Ye Rui quickly counterattacked and easily eliminated all the robots in time.
In the end, Ye Rui panted and defeated the boss. After all, his physical strength was not the same as in the game.
"Uh hahaha, are you tired?" Carter's mocking voice came.
Ye Rui stood up and said with disdain: "Stop nagging, quickly open the next level, this is the rule!"
After a long while, after a series of arduous challenges, Ye Rui was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, drawing strength from each level. His personal attributes and equipment made a qualitative leap, and his whole person became more and more calm and comfortable.
It has to be said that the degree of realism of this virtual world is breathtaking, so much so that Ye Rui actually had the illusion of looking down on the world during the battle, as if he was really the god who controlled everything.
Facing the last hurdle, Ye Rui easily defeated Carter, who was arrogant and domineering, with a harsh laugh.
However, the joy of victory did not stay on his face for too long. With a sharp light in his eyes, he calmly asserted: "The real challenge is still behind."
When he turned around, he was shocked to find that the familiar girl who had saved him from danger turned out to be his final opponent.
He blurted out in shock: "Why is it you?"
The girl sighed slightly, with a bit of regret in her voice: "If you had chosen to stay, maybe this result would not have happened." As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling blue lightning cut through the void and hit accurately.
Ye Rui.
"Ah!" As Ye Rui screamed, he fell from the abyss of the universe like a meteor.
"Bit - you are dead, the game is over!" The cold mechanical sound echoed in the empty universe.
With this pronouncement, the entire virtual world instantly collapsed and turned into countless fragments.
Ye Rui suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had returned to reality. He looked up and saw Karen sitting on a throne made of gold. Her temperament was no longer as gentle as before, replaced by aloofness.
and domineering, as if the world is under her control.
"So, you are Kallen." Ye Rui said solemnly.
Kallen chuckled, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her: "The 'Gamekeeper' anti-intrusion system that you are so proud of is indeed an interesting gadget. But as long as it is software, in my opinion
There are indeed countless flaws.
Next, I will take control of the TPC host, so that all battleships, aircraft, missiles, and nuclear bombs are under my control. I want to make this world perfect and let stupid humans take the right path."
At the same time, inside TPC headquarters.
"Beep - the control and monitoring system shut down abnormally, and all operating systems temporarily lost contact." The harsh alarm broke the original calm.
Dijing quickly operated on the console, trying to save the situation: "Someone has invaded our host!"
"Where's the gamekeeper?" Hui Jian asked anxiously.
After digging the well for a while, he opened his eyes wide and said, "It's unbelievable that he broke in so easily, just like going home."
"Beep - emergency situation! The Shengli Feiyan exj and Atdis started on their own and have entered the take-off preparation stage."
"Dip - this is the Delta Space Warfare Base. The firing program of the Baqir Cannon has been formatted. The target is locked at the TPC Far East Headquarters. The launch countdown has begun."
Listening to this series of emergency reports, Hui Jian felt an indescribable despair in her heart.
"Are we just at the mercy of others? Is this the modern civilization we are proud of? It is so prosperous, lively, convenient, and science fiction, but it is so vulnerable..."
