Chapter 44: Dark Alley

Xu Yang was sitting in the Jingquan House where he had eaten with Mateo, and everything that happened that day was still vivid in his mind.

People often say not to get carried away by a little profit, but what about 100 million? Who can refuse this 100 million?

Xu Yang took out his cash card, raised it in the air, and stared at the number in the upper right corner. It was too expensive, and there were more than 96 million left, which was already too much money for one person to spend.

We try our best, but in the end this is not what we do.

As long as I find a way to eliminate my wanted status in Kyushu, I will be truly free.

How can I remove the wanted order?

He must be confirmed dead by them, otherwise the giant enterprise will never give up.

I am a level 2 neural network engineer. Those guys who are stronger than me in the world, the so-called level 1 engineers, are very few in number. There are only 2 or 3 people in Kyushu who are better than me in this aspect. How can I say it?

The company's talent, a talent carefully cultivated by them, receives an extremely meager salary, which means that the value I create is very low.

After all, what I do every day is nothing more than checking the networking status of various devices and resisting external hackers. Such things can be left to AI to handle.

The torrent of the times has arrived. There is no doubt that neural network engineers will become a historical term in a few years. This industry will completely die out and stay in textbooks and movies forever like barbers, shopping guides, and assembly line employees. Artificial Intelligence

Before it was developed, humans could still use their digital minds to perform complex tasks, but once artificial intelligence technology matures, the skills we have mastered will be worth mentioning.

That's it, capital.

It erases the feelings, beliefs, and enthusiasm between people, suppresses gentle families and reliable friendships, and suppresses people's value and individuality. It turns people into a workpiece and a screw, which not only makes people doubt their own value, but also consumes

Use their daily energy to squeeze out the time for them to think independently.

People are too small for a company.

But should we be trampled on if we are small? Should we, as human beings, just accept our fate? Either we should lower our heads and become a company-raised dog, living an ignoble existence until we die of exhaustion, or we should be given up and abandoned by them...

Thinking of this, Xu Yang's thoughts gradually became clear.

Is 100 million yuan more than that?

That's a lot for most people, but far from enough for someone who wants to end corporate rule. The assets of giant corporations, measured in the tens of trillions, are almost astronomical.

How to do it?

If you want to start a resistance with poor and weak individuals, it is meaningless. You must contact a more powerful force.

A force with combat effectiveness and influence, a force that can develop productivity, a force that can break through technological constraints, a force that is dissatisfied with the company...

Witch!

Get out of this underground place and find ways to contact more witches.

Even fragile and fragile humans are willing to resist, and those witches who are born with strength must have an even stronger desire to fight.

When you have power, you will seek power. This is the nature of intelligent creatures. In the last era, witches secretly controlled the world, which shows that they are by no means good.

All I need is patience and direction.

Find the right direction and take action.

Xu Yang walked through the restaurant. The geisha robot was still lying on the sofa with pale makeup. There were mosaic projection fish swimming in the fish tank. He walked to the back kitchen, found the automatic noodle cooking robot, and let it make noodles.

"Today's first customer!" said the noodle-cooking robot. "Customers are really scarce. Could it be that our store's service is not good enough?"

"It's because of the escape." Xu Yang talked with the robot. If the other person was a first-generation AI, he would only reply according to the established procedures, but it seems that the other person is at least a second-generation AI, and there is still the possibility of communication.

"Our store's inventory has greatly overflowed, and we will send you a big gift package!"

After it finished making noodles, it gave Xu Yang many snacks, including yokan, chocolate and dried pork.

Xu Yang didn't expect such a good thing. He put these things in his pocket and stuffed them full.

While eating noodles, Xu Yang's reverie was interrupted by a message from Lila. Xu Yang had always turned off his network communication module to avoid tracking. Only the built-in mailbox opened permission to Lila. Lila was the only one in the world.

You can send him messages remotely.

"Please go to this location." She transmitted a map coordinate.

Xu Yang glanced around and found that it was not far away, just around a block away. It was not far from Highland No. 26, but it was relatively remote.

"What's wrong?"

"Please look for the leaves; I am fighting with someone." Lila cut off the communication.

Who can Lila fight with? Xu Yang felt a little nervous. Could it be that the Rat Man was approaching? But Lila did not ask for help, but asked herself to find Ye Zi, which showed that she was sure of winning.

Xu Yang left the noodles behind and set off in a hurry, leaving Jingquanwu Ramen Shop and walking through the nearby blocks, looking for traces of Ye Zi.

When walking here, the air is very turbid.

The roads are dim, the buildings are low, and the screen on the dome that imitates the sky has not yet been operated, casting a suffocating darkness that makes people breathless.

It's like walking through a prison, except that every area has a dazzling array of advertisements promoting cigarettes, alcohol, diamond rings, technological prosthetic eyes and hands, and brain-enhancing chips, which is eye-catching.

Companies are like hungry wolves, but they are not competing for flesh and blood, but for human attention. People's attention is limited every day. Once their time is occupied by a certain company's product, they have no time to consume it.

For another company, this is a bloody competition called "competition for stock", which is particularly cruel in this era when productivity is gradually becoming bottlenecked.

Tread, tap, tap... there was a sound of footsteps.

Not knowing whether he was a friend or an enemy, Xu Yang hid in an alley and saw a ferocious female rat-man face to face.

It has gray hair all over its body, holds a meat cleaver in its hand, wears a dirty bag on its chest, and looks like it is searching everywhere.

"Zhizhi——" The female rat man called out to its companions, but there was no response. It looked around angrily and kept sniffing, as if it was a stray female rat man.

Maybe the rat people have completed their planning. After such a long time, the rat people must have prepared all the attack preparations. They just need to break through the pass at the No. 1 connection and turn Huicheng District into a sea of ​​blood.

Therefore, they gathered a large number of troops, and even the important straggler female rats had no intention of taking care of them.

The female rat man brandished the meat cleaver and continued to search for the target.

"Wow--" a scream sounded, followed by the sound of someone falling heavily to the ground.

It's leaves!

"Kill you!" The female rat man immediately followed the sound and rushed over.

Xu Yang rushed out in one stride, drew out the gun he carried with him, and followed closely.

Ye Zi fell from several large cardboard boxes and her hands were covered with mud. She seemed to want to try to climb the wall but slipped. She didn't care to cry out in pain and immediately hugged her big satchel, even ignoring the female rat man who rushed towards her.

Asked, subconsciously opened the zipper and checked whether the game data card inside was broken.

Xu Yang shot immediately.

Bang!

After shooting hastily, the bullet missed the target and hit the wall, but the female rat man shook quickly as if he had been shot. It no longer cared about Xu Yang and Ye Zi, and turned around and ran away in order to avoid the bullet.

"Xu...Xu Yang!" Ye Zi turned around and saw Xu Yang, and was shocked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to save you." Xu Yang said.

"I...I don't need your help!" Ye Zi stood up and put his bag on his back, "I will be at the connection soon."

"Nonsense, you were obviously cornered by the Rat Man. Do you want to climb on that thing?" Xu Yang saw that there was a water pipe on the big cardboard box that could lead to the window of another house, but the leaf slipped and fell off.

"It's a matter of luck." Ye Zi lowered his head and tangled his hair with his fingers, "How did you know I was here?"

"Lila controlled me here by remote control," Xu Yang explained, "Why did you walk into such a dangerous alley alone? Even in normal times, there will be rat infestations in this kind of place."

"I want to take a shortcut and go directly to the No. 1 connection. Okay, don't ask anymore." Ye Zi waved his hand.

"Who asked you to do this?" Xu Yang noticed something was wrong.

"No, no, no, no... no, oops... please don't ask any more." She pursed her lips tightly.

"I have saved you several times, why are you so cold?"

"It's just because..." Ye Zi sighed, "It's just because I feel that I owe you too much, so I feel particularly uneasy."

"It's not necessary. I won't say anything. I can do whatever I want, whether I help you or bully you, whatever I want."

"What if I want to leave?" Ye Zi was anxious, "What would you think if I wanted to leave?"

"casual."

"But I haven't repaid the favor yet? How could I leave without repaying the favor! Don't think that because I usually behave so strangely, just think of me as someone who has no family education!"

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes, yes, that's it," Ye Zi said happily, "It is indeed... Instead of making insinuations, I might as well come up to you in person. I thought that level of casualness and laziness was just some kind of disguise... But

You are indeed an easy-going person."

"Say something quickly."

Ye Ye solemnly knelt on the ground in front of Xu Yang.

Why did she need to give such a big gift? It was the first time Xu Yang saw Ye Zi acting so solemnly.

"I'm really sorry for the many incidents in the past!" She pressed her forehead against the ground, "It is indeed with your help that I, Kojima Yezi, can survive so many dangers, further discover my potential, and understand

There are more people, please don’t worry, I will send you a big gift soon!”

"Big gift..." Before Xu Yang could think of how to respond, Ye Zi had already stood up, carried his bag, and left the alley happily.

What kind of gift can the leaves give me?

Xu Yang put his hands in his pockets and followed him out slowly.

He heard the rustling sound behind him, turned his head, and saw the female rat-man sitting on several cardboard boxes, calling out the cubs that had been hiding before. She was holding three mouse-men, and another mouse-man.

Climb onto its back.

The mice have no hair, are pink and tender, and keep sucking greedily. The female mice are very quiet, not at all as ferocious as before, and their bodies seem to have been sucked dry and become skin and bones.

After the three mousemen drank the milk, the little mouseman on the back squealed and begged for milk.

There was no more milk for feeding, so the female rat-man grabbed the mouse-man from its back and strangled its neck. Her hands became harder and harder, and the pinched little mouse struggled painfully.

The female rat man moved skillfully, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had done this.

"Hello." Xu Yang walked over.

The mother mouse man immediately stopped moving, looked at Xu Yang warily, and protected all the mice people behind her. The pinched mouse man was also released, and it fell to the ground, holding on to its mother's feet again.

, did not run away from her mother because of being pinched.

"Who is threatening you, who is ordering you?"

"Sally." The female rat man unconsciously said a name that was very important to her.

"Who is that?"

"Saint, leader."

"You can't win against the company. This was true 50 years ago and it is true now." Xu Yang took out the dried pork, yokan and chocolate from his pocket, "These are all for you, you can take the children back to the pit."

Go inside."

The female rat-man showed a very contemptuous expression.

"...Why can we only live in potholes?" said the female rat man.

She strangled the whining mouse man at her feet, crawled away with the three children on her back, and disappeared into the darkness.
