Jiang Chen flipped over the counter in the hospital lobby and hid under the table with the hammer.
His left arm was still bleeding as if a piece of flesh was torn off. But considering the fact that he was injected with the genetic vaccine, the zombie virus infection should be ineffective against him.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his racing heart. He took out the pistol and removed the clip with a grin.
Ten rounds left.
He used his trembling left hand to push the clip back. He put the pistol back into his pocket and took a few deep breaths.
Although he was in fury mode, he couldn't unleash any killing intent against a bunch of dummies. Jiang Chen had a bitter smile on his face.
Speaking of which, this was probably the calmest berserk he had ever been. There was no red dot in his vision. Even in the face of a sea of zombies, there was no desire for violence.
Jiang Chen threw the distracting thoughts out of his head and closed his eyes to search for every detail in his memory.
Something must have gone wrong. The exit was right in front of him, but where was it?
…
Jiang Chen entered the door with the PK2000 and immediately entered combat mode. He was ready to shoot, but a gun was pointed at his head.
"Why?"
"Oh, nothing. I just thought … it was necessary?"
Jiang Chen put the PK2000 and the fuel rod on the ground as he raised his hands with a bitter smile.
Even if he returned to the modern world, he would still be in the same place the next time he appeared, which would expose his trump card. It would take three seconds to enter the password and self-destruct, and the gun didn't look like it would give him the time.
There was no bug here … No, maybe there was.
The rows of hibernation chambers were lined up side by side with bits of flesh attached to them. The pulsating membrane made people feel uneasy. But what made him even more uneasy was the gun pointed at his head.
"Didn't you say the bug threatened you?" Jiang Chen raised his hand as a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He secretly scanned the entire lobby.
Just like the layout of a theater, the "audience seats" were replaced by hibernation chambers with pieces of meat attached. In the middle of the stage was a transparent jar. The dark green liquid bubbled with a naked girl floating inside like a piece of art. But because of the distance, Jiang Chen couldn't see her face clearly.
"That's right. The insect threatened me, so I caught it." A cold gun barrel hung from the bottom of the plate-sized drone, and on top of it was a comical little TV. The person on the TV was wearing a mask, or it could be said that he did not have the concept of a face in the first place, only abstract facial features.
"Capture him?" Jiang Chen was taken aback.
"Yes, it threatened to use corrosive liquid to melt my door. It's as funny as you cutting the door with an electric welder. Hehe, then I let it in and used the ray cannon to destroy half of its body. " As he spoke, a terrifyingly long gun barrel fell from the ceiling of the hall. A drop of cold sweat rolled down Jiang Chen's forehead.
Glancing at the terrifying ravine on the ground beside him, he swallowed with some difficulty.
"To my surprise, the remaining part seemed to be alive, so I decomposed it and raised it in the hibernation chamber." The secret teller on the small TV shrugged and smiled happily.
"Where are the people in the hibernation pods?"
"They died a long time ago, so I reused them. I'm sure they don't mind. Also, the person in the jar, based on your aesthetic standards, is quite good. Would you feel sexual arousal if she was in front of you? "The secret teller blinked.
"… I don't think anyone who is pointed at by a gun would."
"You humans are so troublesome." The secret teller shook his head. "But even if you want to have sex with her, I'm afraid I can't satisfy you. Because that girl, as a living creature, was used by me to raise the insect's brain. "
"Insect, brain?" Jiang Chen looked at the hibernation chambers and then at the dark green jar in the center. He felt a chill in his heart.
"That's right. I separated the bacteria from the insect and implanted it into the hibernation chambers filled with organic matter. Where else do you think the cells outside came from? As to the insect's brain, I implanted it into the female's body. She is also a player. "The secret teller rolled his eyes and looked at him like he was an idiot.
"So it was you who did it … So, I was tricked by you?" Jiang Chen felt the cold metal texture on his temple as he forced a smile.
He didn't expect the secret teller to be lying from the beginning. The so-called power armor couldn't block the Klein particle's attack was just to trick him out of the metal box.
The program would lie? He never considered this possibility from the beginning.
"You can say that, hehe." The secret teller laughed. The laughter in the spacious hall was quite eerie.
"What benefits does this bring to you?" Jiang Chen was still confused. He didn't understand the reason behind the secret teller's actions.
"Mhmm … benefits? Hehe, have you misunderstood something? Since I'm not a human, then what's the concept of benefits to me? "
A buzzing sound came. Jiang Chen saw a sea of drones gathered in front of him like a swarm of locusts.
On the small TVs, the mocking expressions outlined by a few graphics were so glaring, but also so real.
It was not a human, no matter how much it resembled a human.
Jiang Chen forced a smile. He couldn't understand the reason behind the secret teller's actions.
Rearing the bugs that produce the mutated bacteria in captivity and then using the bacteria to destroy humans? At most, it could destroy Wanghai City. Since the bacteria itself didn't have the ability to reproduce, it could only be produced from the mother's body. How long could a bacteria's life cycle be? Not to mention the bacteria was still being consumed by the zombies.
"I've waited for too long. Your compatriots haven't been able to supply me with experimental materials for a long time. Just the data written in the hard drive wasn't enough for me to complete the final evolution. But my drones couldn't leave this door, so I couldn't capture people myself. This has troubled me for many years. Fortunately, the little bug had found its way to the door, single-mindedly trying to occupy the organic matter in order to breed those strange bacteria. Fortunately, I satisfied it and efficiently dismembered it into N parts. I believe that as long as I let those little things out to mess around, sooner or later, someone will come in and play with me. Hehehehe … "
The secret teller in the small TV let out a piercing laugh. Countless eyes stared straight into Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Evolve into advanced artificial intelligence at all costs. This is the meaning you gave me."
The voice wasn't cold, but rather relaxed. However, it sent a chill down Jiang Chen's spine.
"This is insane."
"Hehe, but I don't have the concept of 'insane'." The secret teller shrugged.
"I'm referring to the person who created you."
"Perhaps? Hard to say. But since you're here, I have to trouble you to cooperate with me. "The secret teller smiled.
"Oh? I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know how to program. "Jiang Chen cautiously looked at the secret teller.
"That's fine. I just need you to play a game with me. You play, I'll only collect data, "the secret teller said in a relaxed tone.
[Game? It doesn't sound like something good. But if I use interdimensional travel to escape, it's not impossible. But with this many drones, I'll be shot into a sieve when I return.]
Jiang Chen thought about it calmly, took a deep breath, and then curled his lips.
"Is this the game that the dead played before they died?"
"That's right. Just pick a hibernation chamber and you can start." The secret teller smiled.
"And then I'll become a breeding ground for bacteria?" Jiang Chen looked at the secret teller and mocked.
"No, no, no. Before your heart stops beating, I won't do anything to you. Of course, if you reject, I may turn you into fertilizer right now. I believe the people on the surface will come down to find you. " Killing didn't make the program feel any guilt, so the secret teller's tone was relaxed. But it was that relaxed attitude that made Jiang Chen feel disgusted.
"Looks like I have no reason to reject." He curled his lips and walked to the hibernation chamber in front of him.
"Of course. After all, this is the mission you gave me." The drone dragging the small TV followed him. The secret teller on the screen giggled. "You don't have to be too sad. With your body, you will eventually face death. However, in the virtual world, you can enjoy several lifetimes in just one second. It sounds great, doesn't it? "
Jiang Chen didn't bother with it. He stood next to a hibernation chamber and pointed at it.
A drone flew over and the lid of the hibernation chamber slowly opened. A stream of bullets swept through and the disgusting flesh bubbles were smashed into pieces. However, the hibernation chamber wasn't damaged. It was obvious that this thing was sturdy.
The flesh bubbles on the hibernation chamber all moved to varying degrees. It seemed that they could still feel the death of their own kind.
After all, it was an individual, but it was dismembered by the disgusting machine controlled by the disgusting program.
A few more drones flew over. But these drones didn't carry weapons, but cleaning equipment.
They cleaned the blood and debris and dragged away the remains. The entire hibernation chamber looked brand new … but Jiang Chen didn't feel happy because of this.
He was conflicted. To be honest, he didn't want to lie inside, but there was a gun pointed at his head.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen decided to take a gamble. Under the secret teller's satisfied gaze, he stepped into the hibernation chamber.
Suddenly, his movement stopped. He pointed at the hibernation chamber on the "stage" and asked the secret teller.
"Can I know the name of the beautiful lady?"
The secret teller paused for a moment before he asked with a smile.
"What? Did you have sexual urges? "
"Maybe." Jiang Chen didn't deny it.
Laughter that made one's scalp tingle came from countless small televisions. The informant looked at him with interest and then said.
"Name, Lin Lin!"
00？ Strange name.
Jiang Chen muttered to himself. After a moment of hesitation, he still lied inside.
[Take out the EP the moment the hibernation chamber closes and remotely activate the fuel rod's self-destruction?]
But this thought only flashed by. He only felt a slight prick on the back of his neck before he lost control of his body.
The secret teller smiled as he watched the hibernation chamber close its door.
"Hehe, then, the game begins."
