Chapter 188 The Way Out
"So boring~"
Chai Chai dropped the game console out of boredom, and his upper body fell backwards, falling into the beanbag.
"what happened again?"
Li Ang, who was sitting behind the desk studying semiconductor chips, raised his head and glanced at her.
"Today's video games are no longer challenging. It feels as lonely as snow."
Chai Chai shook his head, put his hands back, hugged his head, and adjusted his position lying on the lazy sofa.
Li Ang glanced at the words "You have been killed" on the black and white screen of the TV, continued to lower his head to study the chip, and said casually: "Why are you dead when you are as lonely as snow?"
"Because the opponents are all stupid computers and humans, and they don't have the pleasure of killing."
Chai Chai curled his lips and said, "Now the U.S. financial market has completely collapsed, and countless game companies have gone bankrupt.
Although certain electronic technology equipment and props in killing games can allow ordinary people to quickly develop large-scale games,
But no one is playing,
Many people have moved to the gate world where they can be colonized, and all games have become ghost servers, leaving only humans and machines. "
This is true. After the explosive awakening of Star Gate, all political entities in the world were forced to change.
The Special Affairs Bureau, for example, takes the path of advanced collectivism. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of residents live together in urban buildings, accept the management of "big patriarch", obey the deployment, and do their best, and highly intelligent intelligent machines ensure the fairness and progressive nature of the management process. .
And European Heavy Industries Group and several other large multinational companies have become giant corporate governments in literary and artistic works.
Although like advanced collectivism, unified management of residents under jurisdiction is carried out,
But the purpose, process, form, etc. are completely different.
The sole purpose of corporate government is to perpetuate its own existence and ensure the perpetuation of class divisions and its own dominance.
A small number of chaebol families, combined with players who have mastered powerful extraordinary powers, are at the top of the ruling system.
Below this, there are the managers of the company and the mid-level extraordinary people - they are the white gloves that extract profits for the big shots above.
Further down,
It is the hundreds of millions of workers - every resident under the management of a corporate government is a corporate employee. If there is no chance, they will not be able to become the ruling class in their lifetime. They can only find ways and means to climb up and strive for the opportunity. One day be promoted to the middle level in the system.
As the Special Affairs Bureau and the Abnormal Society gradually moved their home base to the Door World,
Therefore, in the European and American regions of the real world, several companies and governments are confronting each other.
What is worse than corporate governments are criminal enterprises - they usually exist in areas where corporate governments are in conflict with each other and cannot control, or do not want to control for the time being, and are ruled by several extraordinary criminals or families of extraordinary criminals.
The living environment of the residents under its jurisdiction is almost equivalent to that of Colombia during the Pablo Escobar period. They need to pay protection fees to the "godfathers" and "godmothers" of each neighborhood. They are occasionally killed and there is no place to redress their grievances.
In order to escape this bad and harsh life, a large number of anarchists have even emerged around the world - they do not trust any political entity and would rather enter the wilderness than accept any form of rule.
These people will form a group, calling themselves the Wanderer Tribe. Each tribe is usually led by a player or a transcendent, with as few as dozens of people, as many as hundreds or thousands. Each tribe member must learn to use and repair weapons, learn to drive vehicles and survive in the wild. Under the leadership of the tribe leader, they must carry out dangerous wanderings in the wilderness where there are abnormal phenomena.
The number of these homeless people exceeds many people's imagination. Not only in Europe and South America, but also in the once prosperous North America, there are also many American families. Because they are not qualified to move into city buildings and have seen through the bad nature of the American government, In the end, he chose to take his family with him and embark on the road of wandering.
The anarchist wanderers are like weeds on the roadside, living and dying quietly, in a post-apocalyptic style of Mad Max.
Of course, the worst living environment does not belong to the above three types - the wanderers are led by extraordinary patriarchs. As long as they are careful, they can still barely survive.
And various corporate governments, due to mutual confrontation, the existence of the Special Affairs Bureau, and Russia that once again has the embryonic form of a red empire, do not dare to go too far on the surface - going too far will attract the attention of other corporate governments. attack,
Moreover, the relatively favorable living conditions of the residents under the Red Empire are also a contrast.
At least that's the case for now.
The worst living environment is slave society and primitive society.
In some uncharted corners of Africa,
Some players who have mastered extraordinary powers enslave tribal residents on a large scale and directly conduct inhumane extraordinary experiments and rituals.
Human life is worthless, especially with the relatively mature cloning technology.
Such dehumanizing behavior will naturally be suppressed by the Global Occult Alliance.
Unfortunately, the Global Occult Alliance has not been having an easy time lately.
The global village is gradually falling apart. A large number of members from various countries who were originally stationed in the Global Occult Alliance responded to the call of their respective countries and returned to their home countries.
Although the remaining people are all people with lofty ideals who truly believe in "world unity" and "human unity", and for humanitarian reasons, organizations such as the Special Service Bureau and the GRU still provide human, material and financial support.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the available manpower of the Global Occult Alliance has been drastically reduced.
Under such circumstances, even the Global Supernatural Alliance, guarded by Michael, is somewhat powerless to deal with the human tragedies that are occurring on a large scale around the world.
Chai Chai couldn't find any living people who could fill a game. They were just a small microcosm of today's world.
Li Ang said without raising his head: "How about I discuss it with Lao Xing and see if I can get you a super-high-speed network cable specifically for playing games from the door world of the Special Affairs Bureau?"
Chai Chai tilted his head, "Eh? Is that okay?"
"It's okay. Do you want to squat at the exit of the door world holding the game console?"
Li Ang rolled his eyes, took out something from the void, and threw it in the direction of the lazy sofa.
"This is..."
Chai Chai raised his hand to catch it and looked at the ordinary black umbrella in his hand, his eyes stagnant.
Soul-inducing flags.
This special prop, which almost accompanied Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao through the entire killing game, has not been used for a long, long time.
The original function of the soul-guiding flag is to absorb and store Yin Qi and contain spiritual bodies.
At first, Li Ang specially took this umbrella to the cemetery and hospital morgue in Yin City to absorb the Yin Qi and raise firewood, but later with Qing'ejia,
Chai Chai can wear the Qing'e Armor as his body, and his daily spiritual energy consumption is close to zero. Li Ang's strength is growing at a faster rate, and he no longer needs Chai Chai as a plug-in equipment.
The soul-attracting flag disguised as a black umbrella has been lying in the corner of the warehouse and has never been taken out.
Chai Chai asked in confusion: "Why did you give me this thing?"
Li Ang said without raising his head: "I found a shop in the game square that can enhance equipment, and upgraded the quality of [Soul-inducing Banner] from [Rare] to [Excellent].
After a few days, the equipment enhancement coupons purchased by that store from the game mall arrived, and they could even be upgraded from [Excellent] to [Perfect] again.
When the time comes, the soul-guiding flag will not only be able to store a massive amount of Yin Qi, but also accommodate more spiritual bodies, and ensure the spiritual body's independent thinking, so that the spiritual body will not lose its self-awareness because it lives too long. "
"Eh?"
Chai Chai blinked and didn't react for a while.
Li Ang said casually: "The meaning is that as long as there is a perfect quality [Soul-attracting Flag], an intermediate-level spirit body can live for a long time without dying, becoming a kind of immortality in a certain sense.
From now on, you must keep the [Soul-Inducing Flag] close to you and carry it with you at all times.
Although Qing'ejia had been strengthened again when it was in Yin City, it did not have the function of anchoring the self-will of the spirit body. "
"oh oh."
Chai Chai subconsciously gave up thinking and nodded to show that he fully understood.
But soon, she realized something was wrong, looked at Li Ang and her expression changed slightly: "You, why did you suddenly think of strengthening the [Soul-inducing Banner]?
I remember that the shops in the Killing Fields game that could enhance props were very expensive, right?
I don’t feel that’s necessary…”
"in case."
Li Ang simply said, taking out a stack of documents from the void and handing them to Chai Chai with his psychic hand, "In addition, these are the two plans I prepared. Please take a look."
Chai Chai fell silent and quickly flipped through the document. He saw the first part of the document, which detailed the plan of the Insect Nest Brainworm to transform the world of Menfei.
The insect nest will spread rapidly on the Menfei planet. It will first control and captive 99.8% of the population on the Menfei planet, allowing them to provide Li Ang with the power of faith.
Then build tens of thousands of insect nest bases on the surface and underground.
Because Li Ang has been tirelessly collecting genetic samples of novel creatures and roadmaps for technological creations,
The current insect nest can already produce insect nest rockets that are powerful enough to enter space.
The Hive Rocket is faster than the speed of the second universe and can break away from the earth's gravitational field, taking the Hive Mothership to other planets and satellites in the Gate World for cross-planet colonization.
"In addition to the planet where Menfei is located, there are at least three planets that can be colonized in the Menfei world.
The protist algae specially cultivated in the insect nest can absorb toxic gases or liquids and spit out oxygen and carbon dioxide.
If there is a lack of water, other types of ships in the Hive can also drag meteorites with solid ice from space and smash them into the colonial planet, creating lakes and oceans.
The process of planetary transformation will be slow at first, but now the scale of the zerg hive cerebrates is also expanding, and I have gradually relaxed the thinking restrictions of the cerebrates, allowing them to be more creative and learn mechanical technology and genes faster Technology increases expansion speed. "
Li Ang said: "One of the colonized planets will be transformed into an environment close to the earth.
I will let the insect nest sow the genetic seeds of human beings on the planet, cultivate pure human beings on earth, and create a natural earth atmosphere.
If something happened to me and I couldn't escape for a long time,
You can live on that planet in the future, or you can go to the door world of the Special Bureau and live in a real human society - I will tell Sunisheng and let her take care of you. "
"..."
Chai Chai finally realized that Li Ang was arranging a path for her.
She lowered her head, looked at the document full of handwriting, and took a deep breath.
Qing'ejia's fingers pinched a corner of the document, gradually tightening it until it became wrinkled.
"don't want."
"Um?"
"I do not want."
Chai Chai raised his head suddenly, his hair flying, pursed his lips slightly, and looked directly at Li Ang. For the first time, he showed an emotion called anger in front of him, "What is this? It makes you look like you are going to die." It’s the same thing! Isn’t it the Battle of Siming? I’ll go with you.”
"This time is different."
Li Ang also interrupted Chai Chai expressionlessly for the first time: "The fight for the door has started the prelude to the plane war.
And Siming, no matter what it is, it feels very... fatal to me.
Human beings have limits,
Any form of life, including seemingly powerful extraordinary beings, immortal species, and immortal species, also has its limits.
The killing game is still too dangerous. You are not a player, so there is no need to take risks with me..."
"Lulu, lulu, lulu, lulu."
Chai Chai covered his ears, closed his eyes tightly, and made a gurgling noise from his mouth, "I won't listen, I won't listen."
"You going with me will only increase the risk I need to take care of you."
Li Ang looked at Chai Chai who was in autistic mode, unable to maintain his expressionless and cold face, and said helplessly: "I'm serious.
So many people died in the last battle for the door. This time, the number of participants in the Battle of Command has expanded, and there may even be more players from other worlds.
Even I, Michael, and Sunisheng may not be able to come out alive.
Or keep your original personality and will and break away..."
"Bring all the insect nests with you!"
Chai Chai said categorically: "If you feel that you are in danger, there is no need to consider what other people or organizations on the earth think.
I asked all the brainworms and lower-level soldiers to expel a large amount of water from their bodies and compress their bodies.
Go to the market and search for all space props that can hold life forms.
Finally, with the door leaf,
A large number of insect hive units will definitely be unleashed in the shortest possible time.
Even if you don't win the final victory, you can still come out alive!
If it doesn't work, we can still admit defeat..."
"...If you can't get the top few and further touch the truth of the Killing Game, even if you give in and leave, you will die in the Killing Game sooner or later.
Or they may exhaust their intended lifespan after a few decades and die early like the gods in the past, losing themselves and lingering in the world as rotten corpses. "
Li Ang shook his head and said: "Okay, this matter has been decided.
Let's go, the rematch on day seven is coming. "
He stood up from the chair and reached out to pull the Chai Chai on the couch, but he didn't pull it - Chai Chai's eyes were a little red, and there were glistening tears in them.
