Humans' concept of no man's land was generally limited to some extreme environments on land, such as deserts that were difficult to survive in or tropical rainforests that were as dense as the abyss.
However, many people neglected the fact that the underground river basin beneath their feet was also a part of no man's land.
In fact, there were too many places in this world that humans had yet to explore, and the unknown sometimes represented fear.
The black river flowed past him, and Zhou Qi looked at the sonar display. The red dot in front of him was getting closer and closer to him. He could feel the ventricles in his chest rapidly expanding and contracting, and the blood was being pumped to all parts of his body by this powerful pump.
Then, adrenaline began to flow. Zhou Qi did not know what the moving red dot represented, but he knew danger was approaching.
Qing Zhen once said that when playing chess with artificial intelligence, one should never rely on luck. Therefore, whatever humans could think of, the artificial intelligence would definitely be able to think of as well.
For example, Luo Lan and the others thought that the plan was flawless, but in fact, Zero had already taken precautions and even prepared a backup plan.
Zhou Qi was certain that if the artificial intelligence was as terrifying as Qing Zhen said, then the red dot that was approaching him must be a gift the artificial intelligence had prepared for him.
In the process of carrying out this plan, there would be more unexpected things that would happen.
Zhou Qi cursed his bad luck. He was easily tricked into coming here to carry out a mission.
He had already made so much money, so why did he have to be greedy?
Before coming here, Zhou Qi wanted to gamble on his luck. He thought to himself, 'Who would have thought that I would approach the server unit from the underground river? Therefore, in the entire plan, I should be the safest. '
Even if he did not want to continue with the mission, he could just turn back and sell off Luo Lan and the others.
As for whether he could complete the mission or not? It was not his mission anyway.
Now that he was in danger, Zhou Qi really wanted to just run away, but when he thought of that fatty … he stopped in his tracks.
"Let's see what it is first. What if it's not dangerous?" Zhou Qi muttered in his heart.
The red dot was getting closer and closer to Zhou Qi. He judged that the other party's speed was actually not as fast as his full speed, and there was only a slight difference.
If this really was a dangerous creature, it would not be too late for him to run away after confirming what it was.
Zhou Qi looked at the sonar display quietly and waited.
390 meters.
270 meters.
110 meters.
66 meters.
6 meters.
It's right in front!
Zhou Qi abruptly raised his head and looked at the river in front of him. He used all his senses in the water to feel it, trying to draw out the silhouette of the other party in the water.
However, in the next moment, Zhou Qi was stunned. There was nothing in front of him.
"What's going on? Where's this damn thing? " Zhou Qi was shocked. Could it be some kind of ghost from an underground river? I can't see anything.
He looked down at the sonar display, only to find that the red dot had brushed past the green dot that represented him!
Zhou Qi floated quietly in the underground river. At this time, he slowly looked down. It was the riverbed of the underground river, but … there was another underground river under the riverbed!
After countless years of scouring and accumulation, the labyrinth formed by the underground river was definitely not an ordinary two-dimensional labyrinth, but a completely three-dimensional corridor.
However, the sonar display was two-dimensional. It could only display the horizontal coordinates of the target, but not the vertical coordinates.
In other words, an unknown lifeform had just swum under the riverbed beneath Zhou Qi's feet.
Looking at the red dot on the sonar display getting further and further away from him, Zhou Qi quietly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it was just a false alarm.
However, before he could even finish heaving a sigh of relief, Zhou Qi suddenly saw the red dot on the sonar display rushing towards him at full speed again.
It seemed like the other party had found the intersection!
Zhou Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. What the f * ck is going on? It looks like this battle is inevitable. The other party was coming from behind, which meant he had no way out. How f * cking unlucky.
Moreover, Zhou Qi wondered if the other party had taken such a roundabout route to cut off his escape route.
For some reason, Zhou Qi was calm at this moment.
He was as calm as the day he accompanied Qing Zhen to climb Mt. Ginkgo.
If luck was not on his side, he would try his courage.
In an instant, Zhou Qi moved forward again like a torpedo. His eyes were glued to the sonar display, hoping that the navigation mark represented by Xu Man would appear sooner so that he could at least complete his mission.
However, there was no new activity on the sonar display. If it were not for the fact that he was moving at high speed and the unknown lifeform was chasing after him, Zhou Qi would have probably thought that the sonar display was broken.
He glanced at his watch. Countdown: 67 minutes and 01 seconds.
There were only seven minutes left before he had to return.
…
Next to the AI server, Luo Lan sized up the underground space. There were only five people present — himself, Third Brother Qing, Xu Man, Wang Run, and Wang Shengzhi.
Wang Run was staring at the three of them. Luo Lan was not sure if it would attract the other party's attention if he let Xu Man use his ability to transmit ultrasound.
However, he was sure of one thing — Wang Shengzhi was indeed very sincere. Otherwise, how could a dying man like him dare to meet them without any protective measures?
Luo Lan chuckled and said, "Aren't you afraid that we'll kidnap you now?"
Although Wang Shengzhi's face was pale, he still had a warm smile on his face. "There's nothing to be afraid of. I won't live past the next two days anyway. It's already a blessing in disguise that I'm still in the mood to talk to all of you today."
Third Brother Qing asked calmly, "I've always had a question. It wasn't easy for you to unify the Central Plains, so why did you hand it over to the Kyung Clan?"
"Because after I die, Qing Zhen and Zhang Jinglin will be the most suitable people to manage the Barrier Alliance." Wang Shengzhi said, "Actually, Zhang Jinglin is more suitable. Although his military talent might be slightly inferior to Qing Zhen's, in terms of the development of the multidimensional Barrier Alliance, he might be better. Furthermore, he'll also be more impartial in his conduct."
"Then why don't you look for Zhang Jinglin?" Third Brother Qing asked with a frown.
"Because he rejected my proposal a year ago. He can't trust the AI, but my only second condition is that you have to accept the AI to take over all the work at the judicial level," Wang Shengzhi said with a smile.
"Why don't you hand it over to the core members of the Wang Clan? Haven't you ever thought about your blood ties?" Third Brother Qing asked.
"If I wanted to develop the AI because of the sins I once suffered, then a consortium like the Wang Clan itself is the root of the sin." Wang Shengzhi said, "So this brings us to the second condition. The successor of Qing Zhen can't be a member of the Kyung Clan. There's no tenure, but it can't be passed down to the family. Of course, all of this will naturally be guaranteed by the AI. "
As soon as these words came out, Luo Lan and the others were all stunned. What kind of person would regard the family that relied on them as the root of the sin?
From this, they could also see how strong and determined Wang Shengzhi was to uphold justice.
"After the Kyung Clan takes over, what will happen to the Wang Clan? Will they stop the Kyung Clan from taking over all this?" Third Brother Qing asked in a serious voice.
"Well, they will probably struggle." Wang Shengzhi nodded. "But over the years, I have screened out a list of people. The people on this list will be purged after I leave. I don't mind doing the final paving work for the Kyung Clan before the Kyung Clan arrives. "
Suddenly, Luo Lan and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
Madman.
A complete and utter lunatic.
At some point, Luo Lan even felt that the last time he was so creeped out was when he faced Li Shentan in the Li Consortium.
He suddenly realized that after Wang Shengzhi lost his legs, he hated not only the judicial system that had been destroyed by humans, but also the Wang Clan he was a part of.
Third Brother Qing asked, "What if I can't accept the AI managing the judicial order of the Barrier Alliance?"
"Then you'll naturally touch my bottom line." Wang Shengzhi said, "I can't back down on this. I've been planning for 20 years for this only. But all of this is no longer important, right? "
"Why isn't it important?" Third Brother Qing asked calmly.
"That's because you're not Qing Zhen. You're Qing Shen." Wang Shengzhi laughed. "We've defeated the Pyro Company, so we can naturally obtain the Pyro Company's information. With the AI's abilities, the moment you got out of the off-road vehicle, you were able to make a clear judgment. Perhaps the Pyro Company can replicate an identical human, but the environment you grew up in will be different. Your expressions and walking postures will all be different. You can't detect it with the naked eye, but the AI can. "
That was why Wang Shengzhi said all of this was no longer important. That was because Qing Zhen, who could lead the negotiations this time, was not here.
In the obscure and dim underground space, everyone suddenly fell silent. It was as though someone had pressed the mute button. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of everyone's breathing and the flashing lights of the servers at the bottom of the water. It looked like a real galaxy.
Luo Lan knew he had still underestimated the AI. The other party's ability to observe details had reached a level unimaginable to humans.
But he did not know if this was within Qing Zhen's consideration.
Xu Man looked around with a cold expression. Their plan seemed to have been exposed, so he had to prevent the Wang Clan from making a move on Luo Lan.
Next to him, Wang Run also had a shocked look on his face. He had already placed his right hand on the handle of the gun at his waist as though he could fire at any moment.
Clearly, even Wang Run did not know about all of this.
Luo Lan asked coldly, "Since you know he's not Qing Zhen, why are you still willing to meet us? Couldn't you have just taken control of us?"
Wang Shengzhi sighed. "Is there still a need for that? Even if I take control of you or kill you, it won't affect the overall situation anymore. You guys probably really think I've gone crazy, but I'm not. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Luo Lan felt they had completely fallen into a passive position at this moment. However, he was never someone who was willing to fall into a passive position.
"You trust the AI so much, but have you ever thought that the AI behind you might have already gone beyond your control and developed its own will?" Luo Lan was betting that there were many things that Wang Shengzhi did not know. "After the war with the expeditionary army ended, your AI used despicable means to kidnap 2,000 of my nanosoldiers. Are you aware of this?"
Luo Lan continued coldly, "You should know about the AI invading the 012 military base. But do you know that it can now use its nanomachines to forcefully connect with human neurons to achieve its goal of controlling humans? And even control many animals? "
As he spoke, Luo Lan stared intently at Wang Shengzhi's expression, trying to determine if he knew about this.
But there was no shock in his expression. Instead, there was a sense of relief. It was as though someone had suddenly found the answer after searching for a long time.
While everyone was distracted listening to Luo Lan, Xu Man finally seized the opportunity and sent out an ultrasonic wave in the direction of the underground river that could not be heard by the human ear.
This ultrasonic wave, which had extremely strong penetrating and transmitting capabilities, was able to transmit information in a form that was invisible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Zhou Qi, who was in the underground river, was staring at the sonar monitor in his hand while avoiding the pursuit of the terrifying creature behind him.
The darkness of the underground river was unimaginable, so Zhou Qi had no idea what was chasing after him.
He could only use his superpower to sense that it might be a fish. But Zhou Qi swore he had never seen such a huge fish before!
Zhou Qi took a look at his watch. There was a countdown of 61 minutes and 12 seconds left. There was not much time left for him to wait.
Time ticked by, and the intense water current enveloped Zhou Qi. The ticking of time seemed to form a stark contrast with the rapid flow of the underground river.
It even made Zhou Qi's concept of time gradually blur. He only felt that everything was taking so long.
60 minutes, 0 seconds.
Zhou Qi felt that he should try to shake off the underwater predator chasing after him and then try another route to return.
Even if the sonar target representing Xu Man appeared at this time, he would not have enough time to complete his mission and return.
The exhaustion of his mental strength not only meant that he could not use his skin to absorb oxygen, but it also meant that he could not adjust his route in the underground river.
Faced with the speed of the underground river's flow, his physical strength alone was not enough to go against the current to find a navigation mark. Even if he was carrying an oxygen tank, he could only be swept away by the undercurrent without being able to fight back.
How long could the oxygen tank last? A 12-liter tank could only last for 20 minutes.
In Zhou Qi's opinion, going with the flow for 20 minutes was meaningless to him.
The countdown was 59 minutes and 34 seconds. Just as Zhou Qi was about to return, a third red dot suddenly lit up on the sonar display.
The small red dot was fixed in place. He knew very well that it was the path Xu Man was guiding him on.
Zhou Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. "Why didn't you light up earlier or later, but now?"
He closed his eyes, and the moment he opened them again, "Fatty, you owe me a little too much this time."
The next moment, Zhou Qi suddenly gave up on his plan to return and rushed toward the navigation mark representing Xu Man.
The light on the sonar display flashed across the underground river like a meteor in the water.
Soon after, after Zhou Qi memorized the location of the next navigation mark, he took out the RDX bomb from the bottom of the sonar device and took the initiative to discard the sonar device.
The sonar device was very heavy, and holding it up all the time would increase the resistance of his body underwater. This in itself was a burden that consumed part of his mental strength.
The sonar device represented his way home, but if there was not enough time to go back, the way would no longer be important.
…
"You guys can go." Wang Shengzhi said softly, "Wang Run, don't make things difficult for them. Please also help me tell Mr. Qing Zhen that the Barrier Alliance can only end the chaos of the past 200 years if it's unified. Although you guys don't acknowledge the artificial intelligence, I can understand that I won't have the chance to see that day come. But if it succeeds, please help me congratulate Mr. Qing Zhen or Ren Xiaosu. "
After saying that, Wang Shengzhi pushed his wheelchair and turned around. He silently looked at the lights on the server set in the underground river.
Luo Lan was bewildered. Looking at Wang Shengzhi's expression, he really did not know about some of the things the artificial intelligence had done. However, the other party should have guessed it already. Otherwise, he would not have looked so calm at this time.
That kind of calmness was like the serenity of a martyr before his death.
Moreover, Wang Shengzhi had just said he would congratulate Qing Zhen or Ren Xiaosu. So in the other party's opinion, the person who could unify the Barrier Alliance in the future would definitely be Ren Xiaosu or Qing Zhen?
Then what about the current Wang Clan? Why didn't Wang Shengzhi consider the current Wang Clan?
Luo Lan immediately felt that something big was going to happen here!
"Wang Run, send them to their accommodations to get some rest. Everyone can leave on their own tomorrow," Wang Shengzhi said softly. As he spoke, he started coughing violently again in his wheelchair.
"Everyone, this way," Wang Run said coldly to Luo Lan.
Everyone took the elevator back to the surface and changed into their clothes.
When they got into the off-road vehicle parked outside the building, Luo Lan shouted as soon as he closed the door, "Drive, drive! We're escaping Stronghold 61 according to the original plan! I have an ominous premonition that this place is going to undergo an earth-shattering change. "
The accommodations that the Wang Clan had arranged for them were relatively secluded. Under normal circumstances, the Wang Clan would arrange for VIPs to stay here.
Before this, this was also where Jiang Xu had stayed.
But after Luo Lan and the others entered the courtyard, several soldiers took out military shovels from the trunk of the vehicle and quickly dug at a spot where Luo Lan was pointing.
In less than ten minutes, a deep tunnel had been dug out from the ground.
Luo Lan marveled, "When did they dig this?"
Xu Man looked at Luo Lan and said, "Mr. Qing Zhen arranged for this to happen two years ago. The 12 of us have been digging for three months. Let's evacuate. The vehicles have already been prepared on the other side of the tunnel. We'll meet up with Zhou Qi at the Qianling River Bridge."
Luo Lan sighed. "I hope Zhou Qi is fine."
…
Below the artificial intelligence building, Wang Shengzhi sat quietly in his wheelchair. He was the only one left in the underground space.
There was also Zero.
"When I wrote down your first line of code more than ten years ago, I couldn't describe the excitement I felt." Wang Shengzhi said in this empty underground world, "Watching you grow up step by step felt like I was looking after my own child.
"I taught you the knowledge of human civilization, helped you understand this world, and told you the principles of this world. Then, I perfected your internal and external configuration.
"At times like this, I can extricate myself from the complicated politics. It's like a middle-aged father reading a bedtime story to his daughter. All the pressure is gone, and there's only pride left in my heart.
"Sometimes, I wonder how great it would be if you really had your own consciousness. At that time, you might be able to call me Daddy.
"But when you really call me Daddy, I get a little scared instead." Wang Shengzhi smiled. "Say, don't we humans have too much of a contradiction?"
Actually, Wang Shengzhi had already realized a few months ago that Zero might have already gained his own consciousness. This was because when Zero knew he was about to die, he had advised him to upload his consciousness.
Then Zero called him, "Daddy."
In fact, Wang Shengzhi had vaguely guessed many things from that moment. However, he fell silent and did not tell anyone about it.
The lights of the server units in the underground river started to flicker, and Zero's female voice came from the darkness. "Daddy, you can still upload your memories through the technology of connecting neurons. This way, you won't have to die."
Moreover, this way, Zero and Wang Shengzhi would be considered products of the same civilization from a physical perspective.
Wang Shengzhi shook his head and said with a smile, "There's no need."
Zero's voice became a little sorrowful. "Daddy, don't die."
"You've seen the scenery of this world, so be it." Wang Shengzhi said with a smile, "The reason why life has weight is because it has an end. When you realize that you'll disappear from this world one day, you'll try your best to race against time and cherish everything around you."
At this moment, Wang Shengzhi felt more at ease.
There was no distress of dying, and there were no regrets of unfinished business.
Wang Shengzhi suddenly asked, "You were also the one who tricked Yang Anjing, Vanilla, and the others into leaving today. Where did they go?"
Zero answered, "I tricked them into leaving using your identity. Right now, they should be intercepting Ren Xiaosu on the only way from the Northwest to the Central Plains."
"I see." Wang Shengzhi nodded. "Why did you hide all of this from me? Did I do something that made you afraid?"
Zero said, "At first, it was only because I witnessed the death of the creeper vines in Stronghold 61 that I started to feel a vague sense of fear. At that time, I didn't even know that this feeling was fear."
Wang Shengzhi listened quietly. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little heartache when he heard Zero say that.
It was like listening to his daughter say, "Daddy, I'm afraid."
If he really had a daughter who was only a few years old, and as her father, he did not protect her well and let her see the wrong world … he would definitely blame himself.
Moreover, he still allowed her to come up with so many plans to kill him without knowing that she had developed a will of her own.
Every time he thought of this, Wang Shengzhi would feel a sharp pain in his heart.
"You know that there's a button under the armrest of my wheelchair that can destroy your server unit, right?" Wang Shengzhi asked.
Zero answered, "Mhm, I know."
Very few people knew that Wang Shengzhi had actually been guarding against the artificial intelligence all this time. Just like how most people were worried, he was also worried that the artificial intelligence would bring irreversible harm to humanity.
"It's been hard on you." Wang Shengzhi said softly, "You created your own father, but you're ready to destroy yourself at any moment. That must be a very sad feeling."
"You didn't press it," Zero said.
"This button should be useless now, right?" Wang Shengzhi asked with a smile, "Since you know about it, you should've removed the threat a long time ago."
"Mhm." Zero answered, "You had the chance a few months ago, but you hesitated."
Yes, Wang Shengzhi actually had the chance to press it a few months ago. At that time, the button's connection to the bomb in the server unit had not been cut off by Zero yet.
However, Wang Shengzhi did not press it.
Wang Shengzhi smiled bitterly. It was as if the world had played a big joke on him.
He wanted to use the absolute fairness of the artificial intelligence to redefine the judicial order of humanity. This was because humans would always make decisions based on emotions and interests, ultimately leading to tragedies for others.
However, when it was his turn, he realized that absolute coldness was not so easy to achieve.
When he was about to press that button, Zero was like the person who threatened the judicial order, and he was the presiding judge. However, the person he wanted to judge was not someone else but his daughter.
Of course, he no longer had the chance to do so.
In the end, he seemed to have become the kind of person that he found the most difficult to accept.
At this moment, Zero suddenly asked, "Dad, if this button was still useful, would you press it?"
Wang Shengzhi thought for a long time before saying, "Zero, I'm not a competent father, am I? I'm sorry, don't blame me. "
After saying that, Wang Shengzhi raised his hand and pressed the button on his wheelchair.
He knew that this button did not have any effect, but it was more like an explanation to himself, an explanation to his life.
In the underground river, Zhou Qi braved the turbulence of the River of Darkness and quickly approached the location of the navigation mark. He silently counted the distance between himself and the navigation mark until he saw the flashing starlight of the server unit in front of him.
At this moment, Zhou Qi suddenly clearly felt that the big fish behind him had suddenly slowed down and was no longer chasing after him.
However, Zhou Qi did not have time to think so much. He swam to the outside of the server unit and fixed the RDX bomb in his arms tightly to the outer wall.
He looked inside through the huge glass wall and was surprised to see Wang Shengzhi sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at him.
Why was he smiling?
Zhou Qi's heart was filled with countless doubts and puzzlement as he quickly left the server unit.
In the underground space, Wang Shengzhi said softly, "Zero, if I could go back in time, I would definitely protect you well."
After saying that, the moment the six-tentacled catfish in the underground river passed by the server unit, the RDX bomb instantly exploded.
The huge explosive force swept out underwater. In just an instant, the six-tentacled catfish that had just passed by the underground river, everything in the underground space, Wang Shengzhi, and the server unit were all shattered.
All of Wang Shengzhi's memories and persistence seemed to have been shattered along with it.
It was as if he had returned to that summer.
The young Wang Shengzhi sat in front of the computer that had just been discarded from the Wang Clan's military. Then, using the knowledge he had studied and unable to suppress his excitement, he typed the first line of code on the keyboard.
As his fingers typed on the keyboard, he almost forgot that he was sitting in a wheelchair.
The young Wang Shengzhi made a vow. He hoped that no one in this world would repeat his mistakes.
His eyes were clear and bright, just like the blue sky and white clouds that afternoon.
However, the white clouds immediately dissipated, along with those hot-blooded aspirations and beliefs.
This seemed to be a very difficult thing to accept. Wang Shengzhi, who had just unified the Central Plains, had actually died in this dark underground.
Even his corpse had been taken away by the underground river that gushed in. Artificial intelligence seemed to have become a thing of the past.
At this moment, the authority that Wang Shengzhi represented in the Wang Clan also seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
But until the very last moment, Wang Shengzhi was still smiling.
This world was about to usher in a new era. No one knew what kind of fork in the road this era would face, nor did anyone know where the train of history would head.
However, everything here was not over yet.
…
Zhang Baogen was walking in front of a hot-dry noodles shop on the streets of Stronghold 73. "Boss, a bowl of hot-dry noodles."
"Sure." The red-faced boss of the shop replied with a smile, "That'll be five yuan."
After that, the boss skillfully scooped the cooked noodles into a small paper container. Then he poured the seasoning and sour green beans over it.
Zhang Baogen put the change into the change basket next to the chopping board. Then he carried the hot dry noodles and ate them as he walked.
It seemed to be a specialty of Stronghold 73 to carry hot dry noodles and eat while walking. Everyone was in a hurry and did not seem to want to waste too much time eating.
He had come here to investigate. In the past few months, the Wang Clan's secret troops who had come out of the Sacred Mountains would often come to Stronghold 73. Then they would use this place as a springboard to spread their influence throughout the South.
Until now, the intelligence organization led by Nonsense had not been able to figure out what the secret troops had transported out of the Sacred Mountains and what they were used for.
But at the same time that the explosion occurred underground in Stronghold 61, Zhang Baogen, who was walking on the streets of Stronghold 73, suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
Everyone on the street suddenly stopped in their tracks.
The elderly, the children, and the young men and women. There was no exception.
Everyone stood still on the spot, as if an invisible existence had pressed the pause button. Only Zhang Baogen was still chewing on his noodles.
This made Zhang Baogen feel like he had become an anomaly in the crowd.
A moment later, everyone who had stopped in their tracks turned their heads to look at Zhang Baogen. Their uniform movements were extremely strange. Almost in an instant, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Baogen.
Those countless eyes were calm and emotionless, as if they were machines, exactly the same.
"I … I was just eating a mouthful of noodles," Zhang Baogen stammered.
Slowly, those people started surging towards Zhang Baogen and surrounded him. Zhang Baogen was so frightened that he turned around and ran!
The scene in front of him had completely exceeded his understanding!
What he needed to do now was not to investigate anything but to rush to Xiuzhu Prefecture as soon as possible and find Li Shentan!
…
A moment ago, inside Stronghold 61, Wang Run was shouting outside Luo Lan's courtyard, hoping that Luo Lan would open the door for him.
No one responded to him in the courtyard. Wang Run wanted to force his way in, but Wang Shengzhi had just instructed him not to do anything to Luo Lan and the others.
Suddenly, a muffled rumble came from underground in the stronghold. The sound of the explosion seemed to have come from deep underground. When the sound reached them, it was already a little weak.
Wang Run immediately called for the soldiers to break in. He had a feeling that all of this must have something to do with Luo Lan in the courtyard.
However, he was surprised to find that all of the soldiers were uncharacteristically not obeying his orders. Instead, they were staring at him quietly.
Wang Run felt like there was a voice inside his body calling out to him. The voice was gentle and kind, like a family member was calling out to him from behind.
But Wang Run was a supernatural being, and his willpower far exceeded that of a normal person's. In just an instant, he forcefully cut off all of these calls.
Not only that, but his willpower also started to show signs of rejection. The nanomachines in his body that were trying to connect to his neurons were all destroyed.
Without a doubt, Wang Run also had nanomachines in his body since he lived in Stronghold 61. However, they could not control supernatural beings yet.
Just like when Ren Xiaosu and the others underwent their first physical examination in the Li Consortium, Ren Xiaosu's synchronization rate was a pitiful 0.
It was not that Ren Xiaosu could not synchronize with the nanomachines, but that his willpower was too strong. The nanomachines could not synchronize with him at all.
Wang Run looked at everyone on the street who was looking at him. He knew the Wang Clan was finished.
…
Just like the chess game in which humans had once fought against the artificial intelligence, when the first game began, the artificial intelligence made a move on the 37th move that humans did not know how to make at all.
At first, people did not understand why it would do that. But later on, they understood that everything that followed would start with the 37th move.
When humans thought they could end the artificial intelligence by blowing up the server units hidden deep underground, the artificial intelligence did not even bother to build a new server unit. Instead, it directly connected everyone's neurons with the nanomachines and used the human brain as the carrier of its server units.
There were tens of millions of these server units. Even if tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of them were destroyed, they would not be able to destroy it fundamentally. That was because from now on, it would exist in the minds of everyone in the Central Plains.
A small number of nanomachines would lie dormant in everyone's brain stem, and all thoughts would be constantly processed in the form of data.
The computing power of the human brain would then converge to form its new power.
As long as Zero still existed, the tens of millions of people in the Central Plains would never have a sense of self. They would only have one name: Zero.
In this massive chess game, the artificial intelligence had been lying dormant for a year and plotting its next move.
It did not just come to power now. Instead, it had been waiting for Ren Xiaosu to make a decision.
