Everyone followed Isaac's plan and soon entered the sewers.
In this world ruled by Peeta, the sewers in the city were relatively clean. Because the AI paid great attention to the protection of water resources, the moment the water entered the sewers, the filtration process had already begun.
This filtration system was very meticulous. For example … the water discharged from the kitchen and the water discharged from the toilet would not flow into the same set of pipes and would not be filtered under the same mechanism. As for the water discharged from the toilet … according to the different outlets (bathtubs, sinks, and toilets), the pipes and filtration systems that it entered were also different.
This way, it could ensure that the water that eventually flowed into the sewers reached a certain level of cleanliness. Then, the water would be collected and discharged into the rivers, lakes, and seas connected to the ecosystem.
It was for this reason that Feng Bujue and the others were not stained with the rancid smell of feces and urine …
"The environment of this sewers is not bad …" Brother Jue muttered as he waded through the water. "It's almost as good as the home of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
He was actually complaining. Feng Bujue had always thought that if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lived in a "real" sewers, these guys would stink every time they appeared, more or less stained with feces.
"Hahaha …" Two seconds later, Cyclops understood the meaning behind Brother Jue's words. He laughed and said, "Although I don't remember the animation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I understand what you're saying."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue continued. "Your engineers can restore all the games and consoles up to PS, but they can't restore an animation from 1987?"
"Because making an animation and making a game are two different things …" At this time, Isaac took over the conversation and said, "With our technical level, an experienced engineer can restore an Atari game in a day, and a team can restore nearly ten F/C games in a week. For games on MD, GB, SS, PS, and other platforms, the restoration time will increase according to the complexity of the game and the platform, but … overall, the cycle will not be too long."
He paused for two seconds, and then continued, "But … animations are another matter altogether. The production cycle of an animation won't be shortened by much because of our technological advancements. Whether it's the animation from 1987 or the animation from the 21st century, they all have to be done step by step from the original art. There's no shortcut from shooting to dubbing. Take the 1987 version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as an example. In another timeline, that animation had 193 episodes and was serialized for nine years. Our 'Game War' only lasted for nine years. " He turned his head and revealed a helpless expression. "Even if we want to restore it, we don't have that kind of resources."
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue nodded. "That's true …"
"Moreover …" Isaac was not done talking. He continued, "Other than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there are many other excellent animations, right? 'Computer Genie' (C.L.Y.D.E), 'Detective Gargoyles', 'Batman' (1992 animated version), 'Night Dragon' (Regarding this work, I think it's necessary to mention that 'Gargoyles' can be said to be Disney's response to Ah-Wah and Ana. At that time, Disney was a little desperate because of the Batman animated version, so they hurriedly prepared a dark style animation that was very different from their previous style, but more similar to Batman's style. The result proved that … many of the successes were forced. It was under such circumstances that Disney made such a classic breakthrough work. Other than that, there are also those classic movies and TV series that should have appeared … If we want to restore all of these, it will take many years of hard work … But before we win the war, all of this is just empty talk. "
When Feng Bujue heard this, he lamented, "From the sound of it, you guys really have a long way to go …"
"Haha … You think too much." At this time, Big Beardy laughed and said, "People like us, on the other hand, have it easier. Those 'restoration projects' will probably be done by our next generation, or even the generation after that. As for us … Hehe … We just need to think about how to kill those robots in our lifetime."
…
Although wading through the water was much more tiring than walking, the few of them chatted and forgot about the fatigue.
Before they knew it, they had already walked a distance of nearly one kilometer and came to the end of this section of the sewer — the entrance of a metal pipe.
This kind of 'engineering pipe' could be seen everywhere underground and in the buildings above ground in the city. It was mainly used by 'maintenance robots', so it was also called 'maintenance pipe.'
Basically, when Peta planned and built any facility, it would include this kind of pipe. From the perspective of an AI, this was a logical thing to do … Because any hardware could fail. Even if this kind of thing only happened once in a few decades, it had to be fully prepared for that one time.
But at that time, Peeta would never have thought that these pipes would become free fortifications for the resistance army after the war broke out. In the second year of the war, the resistance army used the tunnels to instigate a major incident that Peeta called the 'Gameboy plague.' You can imagine the specific details of the incident … Anyway, after that, Peeta changed his' arrest policy 'and started to kill people …
Feng Bujue stood at the entrance of the pipe. Before he could go in, he already felt that the size was not right. "By the way … isn't this pipe a little too narrow?"
"This pipe was never meant for us humans to use." Lightning Head, who was tying the equipment onto the cloth, spoke up at this moment.
"Yes, it's good enough that we can go in," Cyclops said. The one-eyed man added, "We should be glad that the repair robots of the Petah are spherical and not strip-shaped … Otherwise, we would have to look for underage and skinny soldiers to carry out the infiltration mission."
"Then …" Feng Bujue seemed to hear some bad keywords in this sentence. "When we crawl in the pipe, what if we run into a robot? Won't we be wiped out in this environment? "
This was indeed a worrisome problem. Even for Feng Bujue … if he was trapped in this kind of environment and was shot by bullets, it would be difficult for him to escape.
"Don't worry." When Isaac replied, he was already the first to enter. "As long as the facility is not faulty, there will be no maintenance robots entering the pipeline. Furthermore, the quality of the things built by AI is extremely high … These pipelines are almost empty all year round." When he said this, his upper body had already crawled in. "Also … the distance we need to crawl is very short. If we move fast, we'll be there in ten minutes."
…
Isaac was right. Ten minutes later, they successfully passed through the pipe and came to the subway tunnel.
However … what awaited them in the tunnel was a whole team of Round Table Spiders and integrated robots.
"You have been surrounded. Don't make any unusual movements and disarm within ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven …" This was the dialogue that the leading integrated robot read out.
When he heard this sentence, Isaac turned his head and gave his teammates a look. In less than three seconds, the four people except for Feng Bujue (Brother Jue didn't bring any equipment anyway) all quickly removed their weapons and raised their hands obediently.
Their many years of experience dealing with machines told them that the biggest difference between robot soldiers and human soldiers was that … if the former said "ten seconds," then it would be "ten seconds." Once the time was up, they would immediately fire. There was absolutely no second warning. As for "abnormal movements," there was no need to even mention it. As long as you dared to raise your gun, the other side dared to fire … The result of a close range gunfight with machines was self-evident.
Therefore, this assault team was easily captured.
…
"In a sense … this is pretty good." Fifteen minutes later, Feng Bujue, who was handcuffed and sitting in a prisoner's van, said to his teammates sitting next to him in an almost leisurely manner. "They will directly escort us to the central area, which saves us a lot of time and energy."
"Ha!" Cyclops looked frustrated and angry at this moment. He laughed dryly and said, "Why are we still considering time and energy … We are already doomed!"
"No … Not yet." Isaac was still very calm. "If the other party wanted to kill us, they would have done it in the subway tunnel. Since they captured us alive, it means that we are still useful."
"Tch …" Lightning Head heard this and said angrily, "Are they going to interrogate us or … transform us into PMs?"
"Bah! Compared to being transformed into PMs, I'd rather kill myself! "Big Beardy said.
"Hehe …" Feng Bujue heard their conversation and laughed. He said to Big Beardy, "Before you kill yourself, don't you think about finding the mole first?"
This sentence made Big Beardy, Lightning Head, and Cyclops' faces suddenly change. Only Isaac still maintained a calm expression.
And all of this … naturally, it could not escape Brother Bujue's eyes.
"You mean …" The next second, Big Beard turned to Feng Bujue and asked tentatively, "You mean …"
"Isn't this obvious?" Feng Bujue said in a matter-of-fact tone, "When we came out of the pipeline, a large number of people were already in position to ambush us. You know … that is the subway tunnel. To carry out an effective ambush there, they must first stop the normal operation of the subway. And from the actual situation, the other party had already received accurate information at least half an hour ago, which is why they arranged it so well. "
"That is to say …" At this moment, Cyclops muttered half a sentence and cast a suspicious look at Isaac.
Lightning Head and Big Beardy's reactions were similar to his. After all, the route of this operation was decided by Isaac, and the implications were self-evident.
"Do you have anything to explain …" Feng Bujue looked at Isaac with a smile and said, "Captain?"
Isaac's face was still tense, and he said in a low voice, "I … also think there's a mole in the team." His gaze swept across his teammates. "I'm also very clear that in this matter, I'm very suspicious." He shook his head. "But right now, I don't have any evidence to prove my innocence, nor do I have any evidence to prove who the mole is. So … I don't want to explain, because it's futile without evidence. At the same time, I don't want to identify anyone, because that will only make it seem like I'm changing the target … and it will make the real mole hide even deeper. "
"Hmph …" Hearing this, Big Beardy immediately snorted coldly. "Well said, as expected of Isaac." His expression changed, and he looked at the captain with a determined gaze. "I believe you! You're not a mole. "
"You … do you have any evidence?" Cyclops asked Big Beardy after hearing this.
"No evidence." Big Beardy pursed his lips. "It's just my personal intuition. Anyway, I don't think this man is a two-faced person."
"What do you mean by that?" Cyclops asked. "Do we look like two-faced people?"
"Ha! Who knows? " Big Beardy laughed. "Maybe I'm the mole … I want to use these words to win over Isaac and influence his judgment. Isn't this a very reasonable way of thinking?"
"Forget it, everyone knows that you're the least likely," Cyclops said. "Although you're not a person who knows how to leap, just based on the grudge between you and the Peeta Army for killing their daughter, you won't defect."
"Don't you also have a grudge against those robots for stealing your eye?" Big Beardy continued. "As for the captain and vice-captain, one is a legendary hero in the army, and the other is even more senior than the commander. It seems that … no one …"
"I say …" Feng Bujue interrupted Big Beardy. "Have you forgotten about me, the savior of the world?"
When he said this, everyone also reacted.
"That's right … You're the most suspicious one!" Cyclops looked at Brother Jue and said loudly, as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Indeed … Only you have details that no one knows." Lightning turned to look at Brother Jue and said with a frown, "Also … You were the one who suggested this operation."
"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded. "If I were a bystander, I would also think that I'm the most suspicious. Because among the five people in this team, I'm the most suspicious." He smiled and tilted his head. "So, here comes the question … Is it me or not?"
Brother Jue wasn't joking when he said this. He put on a serious expression and thought about it seriously.
Although Feng Bujue didn't do any undercover work, theoretically speaking, he could really be the traitor.
For example, before the consciousness of the "player" descended, the character that was possessed by Feng Bujue was an undercover spy. Moreover, he carried a tracking device that couldn't be detected by the equipment.
If this hypothesis was valid, then Brother Jue might have given the information to the other party without even knowing it.
"Eh?" After a few seconds, Feng Bujue suddenly thought of something. He immediately thought to himself, "Something's not right … Since this team has been arrested, why hasn't the traitor jumped out? Logically speaking, there's no need for him or her to continue pretending. Could it be … He or she … or 'Peeta', has other motives? "
