Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

There was a violent roar, and a large number of large lifts continued to cross the sky to the north of the city. A large number of cylindrical cleaning robots flew towards the place where the dust was spreading, and began to clean up the dust diligently.

"Please slow down, don't be in a hurry."

A team leader from Section 5 stood in a management vehicle, wearing a gas mask. At this time, his heart was full of fear. Under the light, many particles could be seen floating. Some people had already started bleeding from the mouth and nose, or vomiting. .

A serious explosion occurred in a chemical company. Various toxic substances have begun to spread in the 85th District in the north. With the breeze, the dust spread very quickly. Some people who were able to drive away had already left in their cars. Most of the affected people were unable to leave and could only enter the lift.

"Please take the metal antidote. You may experience dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea after taking it. Please don't panic."

At the door of the lift, several Section 4 personnel wearing drug masks were distributing metal antidote. This antidote can neutralize a variety of toxic metal ions inhaled in the body. Those who have bleeding from the mouth and nose He was rushed to a distant hospital by a small lift.

A large lift landed, and a large number of Section 3 members carrying square bags and dust cleaners began to get off the lift in large numbers and began to clean up the harmful particles floating in the air.

Hazardous materials have spread to a nearby 10-kilometer area. People in the local area have been evacuated urgently. More than 6 districts have been affected. Currently, the only effective method is to use hazardous materials cleaning robots to work quickly in the air to prevent these harmful particles from continuing to float. far away.

The explosion also affected a large number of residential areas near the company. Those who were injured by the flying stones and metal after the explosion were sent to the hospital immediately.

The situation is still not optimistic. The team leader of Section 5 stood on the car and shouted over and over again. He could already smell the stench in the air. The smell was disgusting. He knew very well that if Without carrying biochemical breathing equipment, it is impossible to completely isolate harmful substances. Some substances will undergo chemical changes after burning and can easily penetrate the gas mask.

At this time, several people from Section 5 were carried out by other team members. They were responsible for entering the vicinity of the explosion to check on the injured. Some people had already shown symptoms of poisoning, but there were still many people around.

Nearly 700,000 people in 6 districts need to be evacuated urgently. Although some news is still playing on the street poles, and people from Section 5 are actively helping to sort out the situation, the situation is still very bad.

Smoke and dust were still flying in the distance, and fire could be seen in the air from time to time. Everyone was very anxious. This explosion was different from the previous ones. It was an explosion in a chemical factory. Its nature and harm were far greater than any explosion in the past. , the explosion occurred less than 15 minutes ago.

More and more members of Section 5 were carried out, and some had bleeding from the mouth and nose. The team leader himself also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

However, there are still many injured near the explosion range, and the number of cleaning robots is far from enough.

A small take-off and landing aircraft slowly hovered over the smoke-filled explosion site. Many people looked over, wondering what was going on. Such an approach was obviously very dangerous.

"Tell them to move faster. I can only release my power for 5 minutes at most. After 5 minutes, I won't be able to control it."

Rose said, Tang Rao next to him coughed a few times. The toxic smoke had entered the cabin of the take-off and landing machine, and the situation of the take-off and landing machine was also a little unstable. Tang Rao looked at the situation on the light and shadow panel and took a picture Pat Rose on the back.

"This is what God should do, isn't it?"

Rose smiled and threw away the cigarette butt from her mouth. She was only wearing a white waistcoat.

"Do you want me to help you?"

Tang Rao smiled and coughed and moved closer. Rose blocked Tang Rao's hand. At this time, Rose's eyes began to release yellow particles. Everything in front of her eyes changed. Countless superpositions The intertwined particles of different colors became extremely clear in Rose's eyes, and she stabbed her chest with one hand.

dong dong

Rose sneered and jumped off the lift. Instantly, there was a burst of intense yellow light, and the entire sky above the explosion site emitted a golden light like the sun.

A large number of yellow particles began to be released overwhelmingly, covering the entire explosion range in an instant and starting to spread towards the periphery. Everyone was watching this strange scene in front of them.

At this time, a bunch of members of Section 5 who were still on the nearby floor were planning to break open the door and look for the injured. When they saw that the door seemed to melt, it fell to the ground like mud. At this moment, everyone could no longer smell the smell. The pungent smell disappeared, and several people felt much more relaxed instantly.

"Go inside. In the bathroom, there is a poisoned patient. Feed her the metal antidote first. Listen to my voice and act according to the instructions. Our cyan god!"

Several people from Department 5 looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. Yellow and cyan particles were intertwined. They followed the instructions and found a woman who seemed to be unconscious in the bathtub. They hurriedly followed the instructions to give her Give the antidote.

At the same time, all the people in Section 5 who were searching for and rescuing the injured heard the voice of the cyan god. According to her instructions, they went directly to the place where there were people. Some doors, some walls or collapsed stones were dissolved without exception. Generally, the rescue process becomes extremely easy.

At this time, two women from Section 5 who were rescued saw the chemical factory that exploded opposite. A large amount of black material gathered at the company's location. They could no longer smell the pungent smell in the air.

Yellow particles were floating in the air. Many people didn't know what was going on. They only knew that God himself came over. Where the yellow particles floated, some materials deformed and twisted.

Soon the yellow particles had covered an area of ​​5 kilometers near the explosion range, and a large number of personnel from Section 3 were also involved in search, rescue and evacuation work.

Jean quickly shuttled through some places near the explosion site. After finding the injured, he directly used telekinesis to drag him. In just a few seconds, he walked through the streets and alleys and brought the injured to the lift of Section 4. , and then returned quickly.

As soon as the accident happened, Gene came directly, and Tang Rao and Rose also left Phoebes' house directly and came to the scene.

Fortunately, Bright City adopted a block power supply system when it was first established. If a problem occurs anywhere, the power will only be cut off in the damaged area of ​​the power block, while other places can still maintain power supply. If there is a problem in When chaos occurs and it is dark and dark, the situation will only become more serious.

"Hurry up Gene, there are three injured people in the small building that was hit by a metal object to your right front. Hurry up and get there. They have been poisoned."

Gene smiled, a cyan particle floated by his ear, and Tang Rao's voice came.

The harmful particles in the air have been controlled by Rose's power and are moving towards the explosion site. All they need to do is let the cleaning robot come over to clean them up later. However, Rose's power is a problem. At present, Rose can simultaneously There are 183 material elements that she can control. If there are any more, her power will be out of control. The power out of control is terrible and will affect the collapse of the atomic structure of all materials, including people.

But at present, the harmful substances produced after the explosion and chemical changes have far exceeded this amount, and the situation is still very serious.

After Gene quickly found the injured, he looked at the time and saw that just 2 minutes had passed since Rose liberated her power. There were still many injured within 1 kilometer nearby. Gene sped up. At this time, some senior officials from the business department They had already put on their biochemical equipment, rushed in directly, and began to assist in the rescue.

Gene breathed a sigh of relief. A few minutes ago, Gene already knew that Alpha had captured Anna, the robot that caused a lot of accidents tonight. Now Noah has brought people from the AI ​​R\u0026D team to the field to investigate Anna. All data.

"Hurry up Gene, there are more than 300 people, we should be able to make it in time."

Jean smiled and quickly shuttled between the landing point and the explosion point. With the help of the senior management of the operation department, the efficiency of the rescue instantly improved.

"Everyone evacuates!"

As Tang Rao's voice reached the ears of every rescuer, everyone began to evacuate. Jean had arrived at the explosion site. In front of him was a giant black sphere, full of harmful substances. Just 4 seconds passed. minute.

"Fortunately, I caught up."

Jean smiled and walked over to Rose, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the lower half of her body completely integrated into the ground. He stretched out his hand and pressed a black pillar machine on Rose's chest. With the blood spurting out, Jean En pressed the spider-shaped machine on Rose's violently beating heart. As the heartbeat began to become slower and slower, the yellow particles floating in the air began to dissipate. Rose woke up and pressed her aching heart with one hand. Looking at Jean standing aside, tilting her head, she glanced at the torn clothes on her chest and snorted coldly.

"What? I'm very proud of being a woman, even though I'm a little smaller here, but"

"I was observing how to clean up so many harmful substances directly."

Rose smiled helplessly and stood up from the ground. A large number of yellow particles wrapped around the black ball in front of her. They were still controlling these harmful substances. Many cleaning robots had already come over and started to clean up the black ball. But after a round of cleaning, the black ball has not shrunk yet, and it will take some time for the robot to take away the harmful substances and put them into a container for hazardous materials disposal.

"We can only take our time."

Rose said, Gene took off his uniform and put it on her body. Rose stood up and buttoned the uniform.

"Time flies so fast. I still remember that I had a fight with Ellie because of that incident on the road, although I won."

Gene smiled and nodded.

"We have abandoned countless people along the way before we finally survived and finally came to this land. The result is still the same. Only through constant abandonment can we continue to move forward."

"Why are you talking about these things all of a sudden?"

Gene asked and Rose shook her head.

"Perhaps what you said was right. Artificial intelligence research may destroy mankind one day in the future."

Gene smiled and took out a cigarette and handed one to Rose. After lighting it, the two of them stared at the black sphere in front of them quietly, with smiles appearing on their faces.

"God's punishment! Haha!"

Rose shook her head, her smile slightly bitter.

"Human beings are always self-righteous and unable to learn lessons from history. They naively think that they can control nature, but they are always punished by nature. There are always many innocent people, the elixir of life! Hahaha, those who trained us in the past and commanded us The people we brought back the material of immortality have turned into the dust of history, but what about us? Aren’t we now repeating the path of those in power who ordered us in the past? Control everything, create lies, create the truth, and plan a set path It’s a route for today’s humans to take, deciding what they use, their lives, and even their next step.”

Rose blew out a puff of smoke and sighed.

"Determining their lives, what does all this mean? We should have been sleeping long ago, but what does all this mean now? We are immortal and immortal. We can only look at everything in front of us, have ideology, and have power."

"That's why we become gods!"

Tang Rao's voice came from behind, and the two of them looked back. Tang Rao had already walked over, took out a cigarette from Jean's trouser pocket, lit it, and the three of them sat on the ground quietly. Only tonight You can continue to wait for the cleaning robots to clean up all the harmful substances here, while the outside is cleaned manually.

"Perhaps we should stay when the asteroid explodes and turn it into dust in the universe, so that we don't need to experience life and death again and again for more than two centuries."

Rose said, but Jean didn't answer. Tang Rao held a cigarette, crossed her legs, and sat on a big rock. At this time, small black bumps appeared on her skin. She had just inhaled an overdose of harmful substances. It had been discharged directly, and these harmful substances quickly floated towards the big black ball.

"People's desire to survive is very strong. It only took a few minutes for the explosion to occur, but in those last 10 minutes, the seven of us did everything we could and successfully escaped and returned to the earth. Obviously that We were still enemies at that time. After everyone actually found the elixir of life, everyone became crazy, and the orders from our respective superiors were probably the same. Whichever country can get the elixir first will be equivalent to getting the permanent elixir. Control, all countries are preparing to welcome the return of their respective heroes, it’s really ridiculous to think about it now.”

As Tang Rao said, Gene raised his head and looked east.

"The people are already cheering!"

Tang Rao looked at the news. The news that the gods dispatched urgently to resolve the disaster in just a few minutes has appeared on the pages of major media. They have done this countless times in the past to stabilize people's hearts. , I can’t remember the last time the people cheered for the gods.

However, the three of them all know that they are not omnipotent gods and cannot lead mankind to transcend everything. Humanity still needs to solve the problem in the future. Their only purpose now is to prepare for human beings to carry out interstellar travel and find the next earth. .

In the past, regardless of the prevalence of cosmic life, most observers were calculating how much life there was in the universe and whether there were advanced civilizations or intelligent species like humans. However, in fact, there may be.

When Heaven's Punishment fell, what was released far exceeded human imagination. With human technological means, there was no way to solve the problem. We had to either wait to die or do our best to escape. In the end, all mankind chose the latter. .

In the 20 years since the eight people came to this land, they have traveled to countless places and witnessed countless human escape trajectories.

"You said, in the Kimberley mines."

Tang Rao asked, and Rose immediately said with a smile.

"I knew it was impossible. The place couldn't hold up. Before we escaped, chaos had already begun because everyone was starving to death. Either you or I would die. Plus the epidemic. It was impossible. , that place can only be destroyed."

Jean's face changed slightly. In his impression, there was once a dark-skinned woman named Laila. She was obviously supposed to escape with them, but when she finally left, she chose to go back. After leaving, Gene could only hug Ellie who was emotional and wanted to go back together, and finally the eight people left.

"Can you Laila survive? Finally."

Rose noticed the change in Gene's expression, and Tang Rao laughed.

"She also takes care of more than 50 children. Together with Ellie, I can only say sorry to her. After all, the situation at that time, if we did not leave, we would be infected with fatal hemorrhagic fever, which no medicine can cure. disease."

"Maybe she survived!"

Jean let out a puff of smoke.

"Because kind people often have good luck, don't they? Many times on the road, you all complained about Ellie's overflowing compassion, but many times if it weren't for Ellie's kind deeds, we might have died countless times. ."

"I really can't refute this, it's just..."

Tang Rao's expression tightened and he shook his head.

"I remember there was a boy named Long Fan at that time. He should have taken good care of Laila. After all, their relationship was quite ambiguous at that time."

Gene smiled and nodded. At this time, Noah sent a message. All of Anna's data had been checked. The data with abnormal behavior had been cleared. It would take a certain amount of time to recover, and because the current in the body was not stable. Stability has caused the working part of the circuit to be fused and burned, and some abnormal data can never be recovered.

"That is to say, we have no way of knowing what happened to that robot."

Tang Rao was a little angry when Gene's phone rang. As soon as Gene took out the phone, Rose and Tang Tao saw the number 0005.

"What's wrong Alpha!"

"I have something I want to tell you. Only you can know it. Are you free now?"

Jean hummed, and after knowing where Alpha was, he said he would be there in half an hour at most.

4:28 am

Eddie sat quietly on the chair, watching the major events happening in the city. Although he didn't know what happened, the damage was to the west. This was a devastating blow to the Angus family. .

"Although I don't know who did it, it really helped me a lot. Eddie looked at the empty bedroom. Prometheus was still calling some surveillance cameras to check the situation, because it didn't know what happened. "

After Eddie took a comfortable sip of wine, he lay down on the bed next to him and closed his eyes. The lights in the room were turned off. Only the long passage at the back of the room was lit by various long strips of small breathing lights. .

At this time, in the center of the huge underground space far away from Eddie's bedroom, Store the signal and send it out. Once it is sent out, he can escape from the sea of ​​misery. After being imprisoned for so many years, Eddie always wants to dig out the secret of how to implant personality from his own head.

It is impossible to do this with the current materials on this planet. In X's memory, the sky space has accepted him who escaped from the exploding asteroid, and he has enjoyed the highest treatment for nearly 30 years.

The only pity is that the material that can extend lifespan fell to the earth. At a time when the earth's situation is so severe, the plutocratic owners in the Tianji Space Station do not dare to rashly let some scientists or soldiers return to the earth.

The original plan was to wait for the disaster to end before going back to look for the elixirs that fell on the earth. However, it took hundreds of years for the original chaebol owners to control everything in Tianji Space Country and completely control themselves. It was frozen, hoping to be resurrected one day, but unfortunately, in the years that followed, the Tianji Space Kingdom had no power at all, or in other words, no one had the courage to return to this seemingly dead planet.

X was reborn through his own clones again and again, continuing his life, and finally failed in the final attempt to seize power on the lunar base. At that time, X and his friends were driving a large spaceship with the intention of death. Heading straight towards the earth, the spaceship was directly hit by a gravity cannon. At the last moment, X rushed into the earth on the core shuttle spacecraft.

He originally thought that everything would end if he was left alone, but what X didn't expect was that there were countless people on the land where he landed, and a war was going on.

The originally dead plan was resurrected again. The most regretful thing about The original group of scientists who founded the country.

But researcher, Hathaway possesses all the characteristics of this type of researcher.

Over the years, after observing Hathaway, X came to the conclusion that her ability in AI development was not as good as her husband Leng Shi at the beginning, but in just a few years, her technology has surpassed her husband's , and continue to widen the distance between the two. Innate talent coupled with a fanatical hobby for this thing is the only way to push a person to the abyss.

At this time, a black flame lit up in the dim light, and Prometheus began to speak. X quietly listened to what it was saying about the major event happening in the city now.

"what happened!"

X exclaimed, and soon Prometheus disappeared. While writing the data, bit by bit it was transmitted to Prometheus. This is why X is not too worried now, because Prometheus will definitely try his best to prevent Eddie from killing him. Because he is the key point in promoting the Prometheus plan, if he is killed, the success rate of this plan will drop too much.

Among the Prometheus programs, the most important evolutionary program is determined not to allow this to happen, because it needs to continuously evolve itself so that it can continue to provide strong and reliable support for the Hillman family. This is why Eddie and others Reasons for repeated success over the years.

Although the waiting process was a bit long and torturous, X knew that even if he waited for ten years, it would not matter to him. This humanoid hesitated about his identity, but believed without hesitation that he could finally peer into the bottom of the abyss by cloning himself an unlimited number of times.

This is a wonderful and eternal subject. It is also something that X fantasized about countless times when he was young. Human time is limited, but in limited time, one cannot understand the whole world. For X, it is timely Its a sad thing.

Countless past events began to pop up, and more and more appeared in X's memory.

"Only time is the most powerful weapon!"

X is very aware of the importance of time. There should be a way to extend the life of clones in the future. This is what X is very eager to see now. The brain of his clone can only survive for 10 years, which is already the limit. Yes, X also thought that if there was really no way to escape, he could just activate the bomb buried in the core of his brain and destroy his brain directly. Anyway, it would just take some time and start all over again.

Time is meaningless to X, now all we have to do is continue to wait.

At this time, the black flame appeared again.

"The faulty program has been found, from"

Didi didi

Just when Prometheus was about to speak, Eddie had already walked out of the passage. He looked at Prometheus standing in the air with cold eyes, holding a gun in his hand.

"Is this the reason for my failure? You really treat me as a fool."
