In the abandoned factory, there was a bloody smell that could not be blown away.
Even if the exhaust system was operated to the limit, it still could not erase the evil that had happened here.
Looking at the residual blood on the ground and the body bags being carried onto the transport vehicles, Wang Peng's face was expressionless, but his fists were clenched tightly.
1,024 people …
One percent of the permanent population of Guanghan City …
In this era of civilization, he couldn't imagine what kind of hellish scene that was. But one thing was certain, he would definitely make those people pay the price.
"They will pay with their blood …"
With an ashen face, Captain Xing's eyes were also filled with rage.
In the end, things still developed to this point.
Even before, he had thought that those robots might hold the idea of coexistence and start negotiations or dialogue with them. But now it seemed that this war had developed from a conflict of consciousness to a racial level.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have imagined that such a scene would happen in the 22nd century today …
"They don't have blood, but I will pull their memory chips out of their chest cavity and melt them into slag with a refining furnace."
Li Gaoliang didn't even know how to describe the vicious curse. After a few words, he reached out and tapped twice on his helmet, closing the visor of the exoskeleton armor.
Looking at Wang Peng next to him, he was silent for a while, then continued in a relaxed tone.
"I heard from Old Li that you also came to this era. I wanted to go to Earth to find you, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. Although I have a lot to say, let's wait until we return to Earth. "
Wang Peng nodded and spoke.
"Yeah, let's talk after everything is over."
Without any more small talk, Li Gaoliang took his two guards and strode away from the factory.
The factory was quiet again.
In addition to the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion who endured the physical discomfort and cleaned the battlefield, there were only the war reporters who recorded all this with their cameras and the agents of the Security Bureau like Xing Bian.
After answering a phone call, Xing Bian returned to Wang Peng's side and spoke in a serious tone.
"Two minutes ago, the Pan-Asian Cooperation has declared a state of emergency, requiring citizens to take the initiative to turn off their robots and pull out the memory chips and batteries.
"In order to avoid lone wolf attacks, armed police in various cities have set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits of public transportation to carry out security checks on passing pedestrians and screen out those that have slipped through the net.
"Once a robot wearing a safety collar is found in a public place, compulsory measures will be taken immediately to destroy the robot.
"If the ALPHA virus cannot be eliminated in a short time, it will not only affect our economy, but the daily lives of ordinary people will also be affected."
Once robots were excluded from society, the labor cost would skyrocket. In this era, no one was willing to engage in manual labor. Everyone wanted to sit in the office, enjoy the air conditioner, and drink milk tea to work, instead of sweating on the frontline.
"We have also experienced the days without robots," Wang Peng said, "It doesn't matter if the days are difficult, as long as people are still here."
"You," Xing Bian said, "Once, Xing Bian, you, and you." Xing Bian virus is no. " "You don't understand." Xing Bian shook his head and said, "Once society has developed to this point, it is impossible to go back.
An agent of the Security Bureau suddenly walked over from the direction of the stairs.
He stopped in front of Captain Xing and reported in a serious tone.
"We found a secret door on the second underground floor of the factory. Behind the secret door, there is a staircase leading to the third floor. After going in, we found a computer inside and a row of unfinished blank memory chips. "
Memory chips?
Captain Xing's face changed slightly.
This was not a good sign.
Those robots had already begun to make their own kind!
"Take me there."
The agent nodded immediately.
"Please come with me!"
…
In the dark basement, the three people came to the computer mainframe in the center of the basement with flashlights.
As his subordinates said, this was like an underground robot production base. Not only were there unfinished memory chips next to it, but there were also robot soldiers lying on the iron bed like an operating table.
Looking around, Captain Xing walked to the computer, reached out, and pressed the power button.
He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to actually turn on the computer.
A blue beam of light was released from the top of the case, and a screen was quickly spread out.
However, the next moment, the three people standing in the basement were stunned because of what was happening in front of them.
In the holographic window, there was a white cube space. In the cube space, a group of people were looking around with a dumbfounded expression, not knowing what was going on.
"This is …"
Captain Xing's Adam's apple moved slightly. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a terrifying guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
The expression on Wang Peng's face gradually changed, probably because he had the same thought as him.
"Looking at the number of people, there are almost a thousand people here …"
Although this statement may sound a bit ridiculous …
But this number was too coincidental.
"Call Old Liu over." Xing Bian looked back at the agent next to him. He said in a commanding tone, "Tell him to bring food!"
"Okay!"
After the agent received the order, he immediately trotted out of the basement.
Soon, a tall and thin man carrying a suitcase walked into the basement.
As an information technology expert assigned by the headquarters to the task force, although his scientific research ability was not as good as those academicians in the Academy of Sciences, his ability in the field of application was still quite strong.
"Captain Xing, are you looking for me?"
"Help me take a look at this thing." Captain Xing pointed to the computer in front of him with his chin and the picture projected on the holographic image. He continued, "I want to know what this thing is used for."
"Let me try."
Without a word of nonsense, the man called Old Liu skillfully opened the suitcase and placed it on top of the computer case.
After a few buttons were pressed, he quickly connected the computer to the computer located in the basement.
After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, Xing Bian, who had been observing the expression on Old Liu's face, suddenly found that the expression on the face of the information technology expert gradually became solemn.
He couldn't help but ask.
"Did you find anything?"
"Yeah …" Old Liu nodded solemnly. His hands left the keyboard. "If my guess is correct, these people … should be those executed prisoners."
"Those robots … uploaded their consciousness to the computer?"
"It looks like this." Old Liu's gaze moved to the unfinished robots next to him, as well as the blank memory units. He continued after a moment of silence, "Their next step should be to inject these consciousnesses into those memory units, but obviously … Before they had time to do so, they had already lost this war."
Perhaps because of the connection of the two computers, it had some kind of interference with the virtual space in the cube, so that the people staying inside were aware of the existence of the outside world.
Looking up at the ceiling, a man in a suit and leather shoes yelled.
"Hey? Can you hear me? Can you find a way to get us out … "
"These guys …"
Wang Peng slammed his fist on the table, scaring the little people in the computer. Some of them sat on the ground, some of them hugged each other and cried, and some of them ran away in panic.
Those robots …
They uploaded the consciousness of these dead people to the hard disk of the computer!
They even planned to put them into tin cans!
This was no longer a simple genocide. He didn't even know what metaphor he should use to describe such an evil thing!
Standing next to Wang Peng, Xing Bian's face was expressionless. The moment he learned this news, his mood had sunk to the bottom.
Originally, he thought that these more than a thousand homicides were tricky enough.
But now it seemed …
I was too naive …
