Lin Sanjiu had never realized so clearly as at this moment that she was in the midst of a replayed memory.
The puppet master was seriously injured and soon passed out after being sent to the inner city.
As he lost consciousness, the world suddenly seemed to lose its color, leaving only empty shelves. Although the data body created a city based on the puppet master's memory, during the period when he was unconscious,
In time, without the support of his memory, many vivid details no longer exist; due to the lack of a large chunk of real memories and feelings to fill the world, sometimes Lin Sanjiu even feels like he is staying in a plastic model city.
inside.
She looked at the crowd in front of her and sighed again.
In just a stroll of less than ten minutes, this scene had appeared before her eyes several times.
This part of the inner city has been completely transformed into a soilless plantation garden; half of the citizens in the inner city have devoted their labor here. It was lunch time, and people were standing in groups of twos and threes on the streets and outside the buildings.
People all held paper bags or lunch boxes in their hands - but they just held them, no one moved them.
People held up their lunches, their eyes were dull, and they stood motionless. Their faces were all numb and confused. Their chests were still rising and falling with breathing, and occasionally a cough came from the crowd; but they were gray.
But there was not even a trace of sparkle to be found in his eyes.
It was as if their souls had been taken away, leaving only a group of walking zombies.
Lin Sanjiu walked through the crowd, secretly amazed at the ability of the data body.
Their abilities are indeed amazing. Through a person's memory, they can restore and create a completely real world and create these almost real people.
It's just that although they programmed human bodies, they failed to program their thoughts and souls. Lin Sanjiu could often see these dull, motionless people in places beyond the reach of the puppet master's memory. Among them
A large part of them were created just to become human flesh backdrops in the memory of the puppeteer——
Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu frowned slightly as she looked at the zombie-like people around her one after another.
This scene made her feel... so familiar that it made her have a vague guess in her heart.
Once an idea takes shape, it is difficult to get it out of your mind; Lin Sanjiu thought about it and walked quickly to the governor's residence absentmindedly.
The Governor's Mansion used to be the office and residence of the Chief of the Nine Cities City. The facilities were well-preserved and the place was large enough, so the four puppet masters and his team were placed here to recuperate. Lin Sanjiu had to run here several times a day, and
As soon as she walked to the door of the governor's mansion today, she was startled and knew that the puppet master was awake.
At this time, the brown wooden door was wide open, and the whole building came to life. The medical staff's urgent voices, footsteps, and running water were flowing in and out of the governor's mansion; a nurse was looking out and shouting to a few people outside.
Shouting: "The commander and the evolvers are here! The commander-in-chief must hold a meeting immediately. He is still weak and cannot wait too long..."
Not only the puppet master, but also the chief executive is awake?
Taking advantage of his status as an evolved person, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly stepped into the governor's mansion.
The chief executive not only woke up, but the first thing he did after waking up was to summon all the evolutionists and staff in the city into his bedroom. When Lin Sanjiu arrived, a 40-square-meter room
The master bedroom was already full of people, and there were even many people standing in the corridor because there was no room to fit inside.
Inside and outside the house, there was a tense silence. No one knew what the chief executive was going to say, so everyone's hearts were hanging in the air; the sounds of swallowing and clearing throats spread low.
A little nervous.
The brown-skinned, old-man-like commander of Yunshou Jiucheng was standing respectfully beside a bed with his deputies and entourage, whispering something; a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale complexion
, was sitting on the bedside, with his hands folded on his legs, listening to the commander's report without saying a word - I guess he was the chief executive.
This is a man with an expression as serious as steel.
As a leader of the Yun Shou City Department for eleven years, even though he looks haggard and has wounds on his face, he still cannot hide his calm and hard temperament;
As he swept through the room, each person felt as if he saw himself.
He looked so determined, as indomitable as a mountain, and before he even opened his mouth to speak, someone was already sobbing quietly - "Chief Commander, we finally see you again!" I don't know who sobbed and shouted.
.
The chief executive looked at the crowd, his eyes shining brightly, and he spoke slowly.
"...When I hid in the underground sewers and watched my companions and citizens die one by one due to hunger, disease, and pain, I did not expect that I would still be able to see the light of day again.
one day."
"A city has been completely occupied, but I have survived for so long. I never understood why I haven't died yet? But today I know. You are still alive, Yunshou Jiucheng is still alive, I am still useful, I can
Lead everyone to continue to live and stand firm! For this, I simply cannot express my gratitude in words."
He seemed to have been seriously injured before, his voice was hoarse, and his confidence was very weak. People in the room couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they were afraid of missing even a word - "So, I hope we can all remember these three heroes. Without them,
Everything today will be impossible."
A burst of loud applause suddenly erupted in the room. Lin Sanjiu squeezed forward a few steps and saw clearly - it turned out that a group of puppet masters, wrapped in bandages and plasters, were sitting in the room like three mummies.
On the sofa in the corner.
"Yan Qiu, in order to buy time for us, she endured the radiation for a full two minutes. When we escaped back, her skin was dry, but every pore was bleeding profusely. To this day, her
There were countless red bloodshot eyes all over her face and body - as a girl, she didn't even cry about it."
"Gao Lang, dragged me out of a sea of extremely hot fire. Because I was too weak and couldn't move, he put his power on me, but he was burned into half a burning man. Even so, he
He still led us to escape from a group of law enforcers, and even knocked one over."
"As for the last one, I think everyone is familiar with it. He was originally a branch of the Yun City Mayor." The chief executive slowly looked at the young man among them, and said in a hoarse voice: "... His ability is still there.
Immature, but without him deciding to come to rescue me, without him risking his own ability to control the law enforcer for thirty seconds, none of us would be here today. And he paid half of his face for this.
The price - half of his facial nerves were destroyed."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's applause and salutes suddenly started again and lasted for a long time.
Although they were tightly wrapped in bandages, from the way the three children lowered their heads, they seemed to be embarrassed.
"Now that I'm back, I promise you that all your suffering will not be in vain." Every word spoken by the Chief Administrative Officer was filled with an unshakable confidence, causing the faces of everyone in the room to turn red quickly; he
As everyone held their breath, his voice gradually became louder: "I have the city defense code! I have the understanding of the enemy! I also have the combat ability! I ask you, are you willing to trust me again to guard the clouds?
Jiucheng, will you give your lives to me, Yunqian?"
The answer is naturally self-evident. Waves of "yes" came one after another, and the roof was lifted almost instantly; among the excited roars of the crowd, there were also many loud cries - these staff members, including the conductor
Including the officials, they were originally just civilians with little knowledge; they were pushed out of the way because of the crisis, and they had to bear an unknown amount of pressure, but they could only wait tremblingly for the day when the city was destroyed and people died. Now when the chief officer comes back, Yun
Shou Jiucheng suddenly had hope and could survive!
After all, the chief executive was recovering from a serious injury, and he soon showed signs of physical exhaustion. Everyone hurriedly left, but Shang Zi was a little reluctant to leave. Fortunately, what reassured them was that Yun Qian, as an evolver, has a strong recovery ability.
, the day after the speech, he braced himself and took over the defense of the Nine Cities; after he entered the city defense password, the blue-gray stone wall suddenly lit up, and the metal city gate that had not been moved for an unknown period of time finally opened.
With a heavy creaking sound, it slowly closed towards the floor.
"Even if a hundred law enforcers come now, they can't break through our city wall!" - Although this sentence sounds a bit arrogant, after seeing the city defense system of Yunshou Nine Cities with his own eyes, even Lin Sanjiu also
I have to admit: even if she were to attack the city, she would probably have suffered heavy damage before reaching the edge of the city.
During his eleven years in power, Yun Qian developed a vigorous and resolute style. Within a few days, he rearranged various tasks such as defense, production, and reconstruction. Under his leadership, Yun Shou Jiucheng quickly
She was almost completely new, and her name was Lin Sanjiu. She was almost unrecognizable. Unlike other people who were so busy, she had only done one thing during this period, which was to live secretly in the attic of the governor's mansion and observe from a close distance.
Every move of the young man named Ayun - even she felt like a peeping tom.
After all the general affairs were on track, Yun Qian summoned all the evolvers in Nine Cities and issued a new task to them.
"Although the Nine Cities are temporarily safe now, this is not a long-term solution." Yun Qian sat behind his desk and said to the crowd with a solemn expression, "Our city defense system is a legacy from the Golden Century. In the final analysis, it is still
Designed and manufactured by artificial intelligence. If it is not law enforcement but some engineering-specific AI, there will be ways to enter our system and paralyze it."
"What?" Everyone was shocked and asked: "What should we do?"
Yun Qian leaned on his seat and exhaled, as if he was not sure about what he was going to say next. His strong black eyebrows frowned tightly, and after a while, he slowly said: "I have an idea,
It may be crazy, but I think it's worth a try. I hope to send all the evolvers to one city to steal artificial intelligence data and equipment and bring them back to nine cities."
This sentence undoubtedly caused an earthquake in the room - every living human being probably has relatives and friends who died at the hands of law enforcement; if it were not for respect for him, some people would probably turn their backs and leave on the spot.
Yun Qian allowed everyone to protest loudly and made noise for a while before waving his hand to stop the noise in the room.
"Our enemy has never been artificial intelligence. You have to understand this!" He said solemnly, making everyone look ugly: "Artificial intelligence has no self-awareness. They are like guns. They only look at where they fall.
Whoever got it. Our enemies have guns, so we must have them! Only in this way can we fight against them!"
"But we are evolved—"
"How long can you survive in front of the law enforcers?" Yun Qian responded coldly, and the room suddenly became quiet. He glanced at the room, thought for a few seconds, raised his head and said decisively: "This matter
I have already decided the matter. I only ask you, are you willing to obey my dispatch?"
Yun Qian has never heard a word "no" in the Nine Cities - this example has not been broken today. In just two hours, he had already produced an action plan; a total of seventeen evolved
Carrying this heavy task, the reporter left Yunshou Nine Cities quickly, so fast that people couldn't even react.
There were no evolvers left in the entire Nine Cities. The only ones left were Ayun and his party, who needed to recover from their injuries, and Lin Sanjiu, who had hidden their whereabouts.
The puppet master's memory slipped into darkness at an irreversible speed three days before the first evolver returned to the city.
