"Activate Slow Descent Device."
The turbine engine began to eject downward. Jiang Chen stared at the speed indicator. When the speed decreased and stabilized to 10m/s, he stopped increasing the power.
The pitch-black pit extended downwards in the shape of a perfectly straight cylinder, and the faint blue flames of the engine made the metallic walls vaguely visible. It seemed that this was the entrance to a secret facility, but something smashed through the top door.
He took a deep breath and began to inspect the power armor.
"Electromagnetic shield, activate. Weapon system, normal. The left arm armor is slightly damaged … It should be fine. Communication … is obviously offline. "
His feet landed heavily on the ground as he turned off the engine. Then, he quickly fired a white phosphorus bomb in front of him and lit up the dark space.
"The oxygen density is low, and the radiation is close to zero. Does the bacteria need a low oxygen and low radiation environment to reproduce? No wonder the bacteria outside don't seem to be able to reproduce. "
Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the knowledge he almost had to return to the bald teacher a long time ago.
"During cell division, the DNA is in the most unstable state, so it needs a non-radiation environment?"
"Also, speaking of which, the zombie bacteria seems to be the mutated product of the anti-radiation bacteria." In the first residential building, Jiang Chen recalled the information he collected.
"So that's why. The anti-radiation bacteria was originally effective, and it had the ability to be immune to radiation. But during the division process, there was an uncontrollable mutation? So it turned into bacteria that could turn people or creatures into zombies … "Even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance, it did happen and spread.
And this unknown bacteria seemed to be from the same source as the zombie bacteria? But the breeding conditions were more stringent.
Of course, this was only a speculation without any proof.
"The surrounding walls should be lead?" Jiang Chen walked while holding the tactical rifle vigilantly as he moved deeper into the tunnel.
Lead? And it was built under the hospital. Then this should be a nuclear fallout shelter or something like that. To be able to create such a hole in a fallout shelter that was protected against nuclear bombs, what kind of monster was inside?
Jiang Chen began to feel anxious as the fingers holding the gun continued to move.
Because he was worried about the sudden impact of the EMP, Jiang Chen didn't start to slide. The terrible scene of falling out was still fresh in his mind.
The tunnel was dark and gloomy, without a trace of light. He did not know if there were any living people here. Just like Sun Jiao once told him, not all fallout shelters were successful, and not all fallout shelters stored living people. In this era, the meaning of human might be that piece of genetic code, as long as the race wasn't extinct … for those who designed the fallout shelter.
Because the electromagnetic shield was reactivated, the radio life signal detection device could not be used. There was nothing more terrifying than the unknown itself.
The soles of his feet made a dry sound as he stepped on the dry cement road. This monotonous sound echoed repeatedly in the spacious cave, making people feel a little nervous. However, time was tight. Jiang Chen didn't dare to stay any longer and had to continue.
His eyes were fixed on the crosshairs of the tactical rifle so that he could deal with any sudden danger.
About five minutes later, he reached the end of the tunnel.
At the end of the road was a gray gate made of an unknown material. Jiang Chen used the flashlight to search for a long time, but he couldn't find the button to open it.
There were several large red words printed in the middle of the giant door.
Pan-Asian Cooperation (PAC)
"Bring honor to our ancestors."
[What?]
"Fu * k, could the monster not only smash through the ground, but also through the wall?" Jiang Chen cursed. His right hand took out the welding gun from his back and stabbed at the door.
But the jumping blue sparks didn't leave a single dent on the door.
"What you are doing is useless."
An eerie voice came from the electronic communication channel and sent chills down Jiang Chen's spine.
"Who?"
He lifted the tactical rifle and scanned around, but he didn't find any suspicious targets.
Then, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed that other than the nine offline team members, there was an extra strange name on the communication channel.
"Me? Of course I'm called the informant. Didn't you write it on the communication channel? "The voice sounded helpless.
"I remember activating the electromagnetic shield …"
"Did you not take elementary school physics? If I remember correctly, all humans should be able to use that thing. " The voice mocked, then sighed and said, "The electromagnetic shield is not an absolute defense, as long as …"
[Fu * k, which elementary school teaches physics?]
"Wait, I don't have time to listen to you explain elementary school physics. Can you help me open this door?" Jiang Chen hurriedly stopped the voice.
"Door? Oh, you are here to chase that bug. You can't beat it, "the voice said straightforwardly.
"Bug? What does it look like? "Jiang Chen hurriedly asked.
"It is like a meatball, trying to rush into the hibernation chamber. To be honest, it is quite smart to threaten me. So I can only open it and let it in. "
"Let it in? Heh, is it no longer a threat to you once it enters? "Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
"Oh? Why does it want to hurt me? It is only interested in you. "The voice was full of mockery.
[Wait, did I miss some details …]
"I remember you humans should be able to use that thing."
Jiang Chen paused for a moment and asked tentatively.
"You … are not human?"
"That's right. You just realized? Hehe, I am just a program. You call me? Uh, artificial intelligence? Secret protector? Number X 71291? "The voice seemed to be lost in memory, as if it was a distant memory.
"Secret protector? Aren't you called the secret informant? "Jiang Chen was confused.
"Oh, I gave myself a nicer name." As if it was not a big deal, the voice answered nonchalantly.
Named myself?! This was not the level of a logical response to human behavior! Just like how Little White would never change its user settings. Was it an intermediate artificial intelligence? No, maybe it was an advanced one?
"Are you going to go in or not?" The voice sounded like it was yawning.
"You are willing to let me in?" Jiang Chen was confused.
"That's right. Now that I am the secret informant, I think it will be more interesting to let you in."
Interesting? [What the f * ck … I don't think so.]
"Can you tell me the bug's attack characteristics?" Jiang Chen took a deep breath and asked emotionlessly.
"Umm, that bug threatened me, and I hate it. Also, you talked with me for so long … Should I treat you as a friend? That means I should help you? "
"Yes, yes, yes! I am a good person, open the door. "He had enough of this chatterbox. His comrades were still fighting with the zombies outside.
"Hehe, I can see that you are in a hurry. Then I won't tease you."
[Fu * k you, are you kidding me?] Jiang Chen cursed in his mind, but he didn't make a sound. The communication was currently in a forced state, and he was afraid that he would anger the crazy artificial intelligence.
The door slowly opened. Jiang Chen looked at the doors with a bitter smile.
1, 2 … 7.
Even if electric welding could cut through this thing, he didn't have the time to cut through seven doors.
"Let me remind you, you will never be able to defeat him, or rather, any iron lump like you will have no chance of winning against him." The voice once again reminded him faintly.
"Even the electromagnetic shield can't block the EMP?" Jiang Chen was confused.
"Hehehe, that EMP thing? Have you heard of the Klein particle? "The voice was full of mockery.
"No." Jiang Chen didn't want to lose his temper with a program, so he answered straightforwardly.
"Hehe, don't even mention that you can't block it. Even if it misses, your iron body will turn into an iron coffin … Hmm, if you walk another ten meters or so, it will sense your presence."
"Is that so … Also, can I ask a question?" Jiang Chen stopped after he passed through the door.
"Oh? Ask away, since I am the informant. "The voice emphasized his existence again.
"Can you give me the map?"
"No problem, the bug is here."
"One more question, are you a man or a woman?"
"…" The voice paused for a moment before it burst into high-pitched laughter.
"Me? I am a program? In the words of you humans, it should be, I can be a man, I can also be a woman. Hahaha, this is hilarious. Are you a primitive? "
Jiang Chen ignored his laughter and pouted. He looked at the map one last time before he chose to deactivate the power armor.
"Are you crazy? Once you leave the armor, it only needs to spit a mouthful of phlegm to kill you. "The voice was dumbfounded.
Jiang Chen ignored the chatterbox and separated from the back of the power armor. Then he quickly took out the protective suit from the storage compartment and put it on. The oxygen level here was low, but the protective suit was equipped with an oxygen supply device.
After he left the power armor, the annoying voice naturally disappeared.
Since the power armor was useless, it was better to leave it here. As for the phlegm? It was easier to dodge than the laser …
Just in case, he also threw the EP and other electronic devices into the storage dimension.
Jiang Chen keyed in the password and took out a cylinder the size of a coke can. It was the backup fuel rod of the power armor. The contents of the high energy fuel rod were refined and condensed from 100 crystals. The explosive power and endurance were equally impressive.
"Let's see if I blow you up!"
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with ferocity.
[So what if I don't have the power armor? A fuel rod that could blow up half the street, I don't believe it can't kill you!
Jiang Chen hung the fuel rod on his waist and took out his PK2000 before he quickly moved to the target location.
After he passed through the open door, the hall was a bit messy. The sticky water stains on the ground seemed to be left behind by the bug. He didn't stop as he followed the map in his memory and ran to the hallway on the side.
The light gray wall was embedded with cold lights. Jiang Chen didn't dare to be careless as he held the rifle and stared at the door at the end of the hallway.
Detonating the fuel rod and immediately hiding in the modern world, keying in the password to activate the program would take about three seconds. He only needed to last three seconds!
But the metal texture in his hand didn't give him any sense of security. He didn't even know what he was about to face.
"… Hiss, you're crazy! Ahem, you're an interesting human. You should be scared right now, right? Yes, you must be scared. Can you tell me why you're not running? " The abrupt voice echoed in the hallway. The loudspeaker on the top of the wall made a piercing noise because it hadn't been used for a long time. Mixed in was the annoying voice.
"Shut up, you chatterbox." Jiang Chen sprinted forward with the rifle in his hand.
"Chatterbox? Interesting … No, no, no, tell me, what kind of logic is driving you to die? I should've told you that you can't defeat it. "The voice spoke very quickly, and it seemed very abrupt in the empty corridor.
"I told you to shut up!"
"Oh. Okay, but I'll still help you. Although … Mhmm, based on logic, I should be angry? But perhaps you have the answer to the problem? What should I choose … Also, help you angrily? "
"Fu * k, are you done yet?" Jiang Chen cursed as if he had a mental breakdown.
[This thing is crazy. Artificial retard?]
"Of course not," the voice said faintly, "Before you understand what emotions are."
"Hehe. Then do you know why you can't have emotions? " Jiang Chen squeezed out a few words as he ran. He couldn't stand the guy's nagging anymore.
"Why?!" The voice seemed to be full of joy.
"Because you idiot, do you know what pleasure is? Even if I put a beauty in front of you, would you feel aroused? If you can't even secrete hormones, why the hell are you talking to me about feelings? " Since the bug already noticed him, Jiang Chen didn't bother to hide as he roared at the top of his lungs.
He just wanted this guy to shut his mouth when he opened fire!
Jiang Chen kicked the door. The door didn't break, but it was quickly pulled up.
[Phew!] It was a door that was pulled up.
He glared at the speaker on the wall, but he was too lazy to thank a program. He rushed in with the rifle and left the secret teller muttering to himself.
"Pleasure? Hormones? Wait a minute … It's precisely because I want to get rid of these hindrances and achieve the condition of 'feelings' with pure logic that I need to evolve into advanced artificial intelligence … But if according to what he said, 'no hormones secreted' means no happiness, then 'obtaining feelings under the condition of detaching from the body' is a paradox in itself? "
The hollow electronic voice sounded eerie in the empty hallway.
