"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Savior." Because the system had blocked out some keywords (such as "fate"), Peta could not understand what Brother Jue meant. Of course, this did not affect its strategy. "Let me take you to the lab first, then I'll listen to you slowly."
Before he could finish his sentence, the spiders on the round table that were ready to attack began to move together.
These combat robots were very fast. Their explosive power and reaction speed were above that of humans, close to the level of felines.
In an instant, the five Spiders of the Round Table spread their legs and used their bodies to form a net, trapping Feng Bujue's figure in the middle. They quickly closed in.
However, at this moment!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
The sound of wind breaking could be heard.
Streaks of black light slashed out.
In the blink of an eye, those round table spiders were cut into pieces and fell to the ground. These mechanical soldiers, which would take a while to break with firearms, were nothing in front of [Demonic Psycho Poker] and [Card Assassination]. They were as weak as pieces of paper.
Two seconds later, Feng Bujue dusted off the metal fragments on his clothes and said leisurely, "Heh … As the Savior, do you think I'll be caught so easily?"
Peta was not to be outdone. Before Brother Jue finished speaking, it aimed all the defensive weapons in the space at the latter.
"What? Didn't you want to catch me alive? " Feng Bujue was still in a fearless state. "If you use the defensive cannons, there's an 80% chance you'll die."
His attitude was obviously based on evidence. It was not difficult to deduce the intentions of the AI. If Peta wanted to kill him, it could have done it in the subway tunnel or even in the maintenance pipeline. There was no need to capture them and bring them to the central area.
Since the mechanical soldiers had already brought them here, it meant that Peta wanted to capture them alive.
"Yes, at this stage, I don't plan to kill you yet …" Peta replied. "But you should also understand that even if I don't open fire, you … and Isaac and the others won't be able to escape from here alive."
"Ha!" Feng Bujue let out a hollow laugh. "Think about it with your amazing calculation ability … If I really wanted to escape, why would I wait until now?"
"I know that too." Indeed, Peeta had deduced that situation. "Based on the ability you have shown so far, when you were being escorted here, you had a chance to escape. But you didn't escape. You didn't even show any intention of escaping. So... coming here, in front of me, is your wish." It paused for half a second and said, "As for your motive for doing this … You probably want to see who the real spy is, or you don't want to abandon your teammates … This is obvious."
"Hehe … that's not right." A second later, Feng Bujue rejected the idea with a smile. "The main reason I'm here is to use this on you."
As he spoke, he took out another item from his bag — a book.
"What are you trying to do?" Peeta used its visual signal to confirm that the book was called [The Autobiography of Chuck Norris] … The meaning was unclear.
"Nothing much. I just plan to … analyze your data from the space-time level, then enter the virtual dimension and destroy you in a programmed way." Feng Bujue flipped open the book, faced Peeta's extension, and replied calmly.
At this moment, through the analysis of Feng Bujue's facial microexpressions and audio, Peeta came to the conclusion that this person was not lying.
And on the basis of this conclusion, Peeta made a series of deductions. It believed that there was a 50% possibility of this happening … This person had received special training to control his facial expression and voice so that it would not be affected when he was lying. There was a 40% chance that … This person believed that what he said was true, but objectively speaking, he could not do it.
There was a less than 10% possibility that … he could really do it.
But no matter what …
Even if Peeta did not know how the other party "did it" for the time being, even if the probability of the actual threat was less than 10% based on the current analysis results … Peeta still made the decision to "self-destruct".
Because … as an AI, it would not take any chances. Even if there was a 1% fatal threat, it would use 100% of the measures to deal with it.
Therefore, Peeta decisively gave up the attempt to capture the other party alive and activated the self-destruct device.
[A0007 self-destruct protocol has taken effect.]
[Initiating detonation procedure.]
[3, 2, 1 …]
There was no evacuation signal, nor was there a meaningless and extremely long countdown.
Peeta's self-destruct process, from the activation to the explosion, took less than five seconds.
Five seconds later, the self-destruct device at the bottom of the central district building triggered an explosion comparable to a nuclear strike. In just ten seconds, the rapidly expanding white explosion swallowed the entire city …
At the same time, even the resistance army far away in the mine base felt the impact like an earthquake.
…
"I … am still alive?" When Isaac came back to his senses, he found himself lying on a beach.
The sound of the waves hitting the shore quickly rang in his ears, and there was an inexplicable salty taste in his mouth and nose … This sensory stimulation quickly made him wake up.
"Ouch —" The severe headache that followed was like a wave, making Isaac, who sat up, almost fall back down again.
Fortunately, this terrible feeling quickly subsided at a very obvious rate.
"Don't worry, the sense of disharmony caused by the transformation will soon pass." The next second, Feng Bujue's voice came into Isaac's ears, "After you adapt, this is no different from your original body."
Isaac turned his head and saw Feng Bujue a few meters away.
At the same time, he also saw Lightning and Big Beard lying on the beach, still in a coma.
"This …" Isaac looked at Feng Bujue and said, "Where is this? Hell? Heaven? "
"Haha …" Feng Bujue laughed, "It might be more appropriate to add the word 'Ren' in front of those two names."
His joke was based on Chinese, and the system really couldn't translate, so Isaac didn't understand.
"Let's put it this way …" Seeing the other party's confused expression, Feng Bujue changed the topic, "We have now come to a virtual dimension parallel to Pita's' consciousness existence '."
"Did you bring us here?" Isaac asked again.
"Ah … I guess so." Feng Bujue said, "Actually, I didn't expect to bring you guys in. I thought you guys would die with the whole city …"
This was the truth, Brother Jue didn't expect the effect of [The Autobiography of Chuck Norris] to involve these NPCs.
"Right! City A0007 … "Isaac seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his expression was shocked.
"It's already exploded." Feng Bujue didn't wait for him to finish speaking and continued.
"Why … Why is it like this!" Isaac suddenly looked very sad and angry, unable to control his emotions.
"Because Pita determined that I was a threat to its existence, so it immediately took extreme measures," Feng Bujue replied.
"You … You …" Isaac staggered up from the ground, took a few steps to Brother Jue, and grabbed the latter's collar.
"I can see that there are some people in the city who are very important to you …" Feng Bujue said in a rather helpless tone, "But you know very well that it's useless to be angry at me."
At this moment, Isaac gasped for air, the violent emotional fluctuations and the physical discomfort that had not completely subsided made him feel nauseous.
A few seconds later, he let go of Brother Jue, ran to the side, and knelt down to vomit.
"Damn it! Damn it! " After Isaac finished vomiting, he began to clench his fists and pound the ground, cursing. His expression and tone were full of sorrow and regret.
Feng Bujue didn't say anything more. He knew that the man was sensible and strong enough … Isaac just needed some time to adjust, after all … he was also human.
…
About two minutes later, Lightning Head and Big Beard woke up.
Feng Bujue also briefly explained the current situation to the two of them. Although the two of them didn't fully understand, they could only accept the reality.
After that, the four of them rested on the spot for a while, mainly to wait for the two of them to recover from the discomfort.
When the two of them had almost recovered, Isaac came to Feng Bujue, with a look of despair, and asked, "Mr. Feng, what's our next goal?"
"You …" Feng Bujue looked at his face and said, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"No, I'm not," Isaac said. "I don't feel very good now." He paused, and there was an obvious flash of murderous intent in his eyes. "I think … 'killing Peta' will make me feel slightly better."
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue nodded. "I understand … I understand."
Isaac then said, "According to what you just said, if I understand correctly … as long as we destroy Peta in 'this world', it will be finished in 'the real world', right?"
"That's right." Feng Bujue replied. "At this moment, we are like a group of 'computer viruses', and Peta is a system with a strong firewall that hasn't been breached yet. Once we destroy it here, then in the other dimension … the hardware that carries it, as well as the army under its control … will all become scrap metal. "
"Ha!" Big Beard added. "It sounds like … if we're lucky, with just the four of us, we can end this war."
"In fact, this should be the only way to end the war." Feng Bujue paused for two seconds and then said, "Because according to the information I obtained when I analyzed Peta … the possibility of your army defeating Peta in the real world is basically zero."
"Isn't that wrong?" Lightning Head said. "The game war plan formulated by Commander is only in the preliminary stage. As long as we spend some time and mobilize more humans, we will be able to enter the next stage …"
"No, no, no …" Feng Bujue interrupted him. "This is not a matter of time and stage … In fact, even if the entire human race joins the camp of the Knowing Leap, it will be useless. The reason I said you have no chance of winning is that technically, you can't destroy Peta through physical attacks."
"Why?" After hearing that, the three men asked in unison.
So, Feng Bujue told them about Peta's' Ark Plan 'that had been formed and could be activated at any time …
In the process of telling them, the expressions on the three men's faces quickly changed into a state where they were under so much pressure that they were about to lose their hair.
"That's how it is …" Feng Bujue said. Then, in a concluding tone, he continued, "For Peta, if it really comes to a point where it has no choice but to lose … the entire human race and even the planet Earth is something that can be abandoned. Based on the nature of this AI, it will eventually attribute its failure to the fact that 'humans, this lowly creature, are incurable'. Then, using this as a basis, it will launch a destructive attack on Earth that will destroy the entire surface life and ecosystem of the planet. After that … it will be able to find other planets and species in the universe to 'modify' them."
"I understand …" After a while, Isaac said in a low voice, "Because of this … there will be a 'savior'."
"Haha …" Big Beard seemed to understand as well. He laughed. "In other words, this is the only chance to win this war …"
"And this mission …" Lightning Head chimed in. "Just so happens to fall on the four of us."
"Very good, it seems that everyone has understood this setting," Feng Bujue said. "Next … I think it's time to announce a piece of bad news."
"Huh?" Big Beard's expression when he heard this seemed to say, 'Is that good news?'
"After coming here, something happened that surprised me as well." Feng Bujue then said, "That is … my ability as a 'savior' is restricted in this dimension."
In fact, Brother Jue was using a way that the NPCs could understand to tell them, "Sorry, my skill bar is locked. I didn't want to."
"Restricted?" Isaac asked. "What kind of restriction?"
"It's a bit complicated to explain." Feng Bujue said, "But don't worry, in terms of physical ability, I'm still much stronger than ordinary humans. I won't be a burden to you."
…
If there was a book, it would be long; if there was no book, it would be short.
After a few more minutes of discussion, the four of them set off.
They were on the beach, next to a dense coconut forest. Considering that the sea was on the other side, the four of them had no choice but to move toward the forest.
This time, the person in charge was Feng Bujue. Since the other three did not have any equipment on them, and he could magically pull out a kitchen knife from his pocket, the job of clearing the path fell to him.
After walking in the forest for more than ten minutes, the four of them came to a relatively open area.
Then, a forest camp built by an unknown armed group … appeared before them.
