Human Restart [Whistle]

"Glassen" town.

Little Jane can go to the city of "Nineveh" as she wishes.Responsible for leading the way and escorting them to the familiar No. 1098.When the soldier came to pick them up, he couldn't hide his surprise when he saw the new clothes on Xiao Li and Yu Fei.

After the surprise, there was a little jealousy.

The city of "Nineveh" is not too far from the town of "Glasen", there is a direct train, and the journey takes only three hours.Before departure, No. 1098 reminded: "We must come back before eleven o'clock in the evening. That is the latest sleep time stipulated by the 'Prophet'."

It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and they had plenty of time to go back and forth.

Xiao Li leaned on Yufei's shoulder to rest, and returned to the world of order and civilization, but it gave him a sense of absurdity and unreality.In the empty train compartment, Xiao Li asked 1098 about the application of "healing serum" and the treatment of zombies from outside.

But what I didn't expect was that even if the "cure serum" that could resist the "super flu" was produced, the president did not intend to use it to treat the "savage zone" (that is, the outside of the "elliptical territory") who was fighting against zombies and viruses Others who desperately want to survive.

"Because they have been polluted." 1098 explained, "thoughts and psychology... from the 'survivors' we rescued, we can see. If all the survivors in the 'savage area' are brought back' Safe Zone', then the city of 'Nineveh' will definitely explode..."

"Furthermore, we don't have enough manpower."

Xiao Li thought that the "human hand" here refers to a living person, but he didn't expect that 1098 meant "robot".

"Does that mean... to give up the people outside who are desperately struggling to survive?" Xiao Li's lips trembled slightly, and he looked at No. 1098 in disbelief.

"Of course not." No. 1098 showed an angry expression, but only for a moment, "We just haven't figured out how to deal with them."

It is not difficult to deal with zombies, but what is difficult is how to deal with the survivors in the "savage area".If the "Healing Serum II" is delivered by plane, then in the future, those survivors who have been "polluted" in their minds and hearts in the "savage areas" will not be able to hold hostage, but if the "savage areas" are bombed directly and indiscriminately, ", and it does not conform to moral ethics...

(But...does the president really care about ethics?)

"Perhaps in another two to three months or half a year, we will consider rescuing them after our 'new society' is completely stable. We will not give up every inch of our country, and the zombies are just temporary residents. Or say, their lifespan is not as long as ours..."

But in the "savage area", there are people running against zombies to see who can escape the scythe of death first with the fastest speed.

"That's wrong..." Xiao Li said with a frown. Hearing this, No. 1098 glared at him immediately, and said in a reproachful tone: "There is nothing wrong. This is for the stability and peace of our 'New World', and it is the wise decision of 'New Father'! I can forgive you Too long in the 'wild zone' to understand us."

There are so many incomprehensible things!

But at this point in the chat, Xiao Li also vaguely understood that although the so-called "safe zone" was not captured by the "super flu" and "zombies", it was captured by other, even more terrifying....

And the look of No. 1098 glaring at him was not from real anger, but from extreme fear of his speech.Xiao Li's gaze fell on No. 1098's wrist, that ordinary watch. After a closer look, Xiao Li discovered that the appearance of the watch was like an "eye". It became an "ear" again.

1098 is the watch in Fear's hand.

"Nineveh" city.

The city of "Nineveh" is different from what Xiaoli, Yufei and Little Jane imagined.It looks like a normal city here, the streets are clean and people come and go.But everyone looked numb and wore the most natural clothes.However, wearing special clothes, Xiao Li and other people who stepped into the city of "Nineveh" and No. 1098 seem to be "travelers" from a certain time and space, or...actors in a certain TV series.

In short, it is out of tune with the surroundings.

But there is still something about the city of "Nineveh" that doesn't look normal.For example, there are more and denser portraits of people here than in the town of "Glassen".There are billboards all over the city.

The residents of the city of "Nineveh" also have a watch in their hands, which is muddy gray in color.Xiao Li and Xiao Jian couldn't figure it out at all. Why did these seemingly normal people become "scum" in the eyes of "prophets"?

They followed No. 1098 to the "Correction Institute".The former "schools" and "hospitals" have all been transformed into reformation centers for reforming and educating "scum".

On the way to the city of "Nineveh", through the introduction of No. 1098, Xiao Li and his group finally figured out why the residents of the city of "Nineveh" were judged as "scum" by the "Prophet".

"Except for infertile men and infertile women, most of the people here are because they have no value to the 'Xinguo'. The jobs they can do and the skills they possess can be completely replaced by robots, and they can even be done. Better." No. 1098 said, and randomly listed several occupations. Although these occupations are in different fields, they have the same repetitive and mechanical nature and are easy to be replaced by others.

"In the near future, when omnic production meets market demand, the 'scum' here will not be needed by us."

In the president's vision, omnics will slowly advance in use and replace humans.Then, all industrial operations are fully automated and controlled by the "Prophet".

In addition, some of the people living in "Nineveh" are infertile men and women, and some men and women whose mental health index is judged to be "dangerous". Sent to the "Reform Institute" for reform.If they have outstanding abilities, they may be spotted by the "elites" in the "capital" in the future and taken home to be "housekeepers", "secretaries" or other occupations arranged by the "master", but their The future is limited to this.

"There is absolutely no crime here." Xiao Jian said.

"You will know when it is night." No. 1098 replied, "Darkness naturally breeds in darkness."

Xiao Li then asked: "Then... what will happen to the other people outside the city of 'Nineveh'?"

"Except for the people in the city of 'Gomorrah', the people in other cities are of course enjoying happiness! Especially the 'capital'...everything we do is for the elites of the 'capital', they are brainpower Workers, it's hard work..." No. 1098 glanced at them quickly with envy and said: "This is the ideal world proposed by the 'New Father', where there is no disease and pain, only love and peace, and now Little by little."

Xiao Li immediately understood the envious eyes of everyone when the test results of him and Yu Fei came out.Although it is not a sure thing, you can enter the "capital" to enjoy happiness, but it can be regarded as half a foot in the "capital".

But is this really the case?

Xiao Li clenched his fist, wanting to punch the face of No. 1098, he wanted to shout that this is wrong!Today's society is deformed!

In an instant, several books flashed in his mind, and a word flashed in his mind.He was about to refute No. 1098, but Yufei took his hand and shook it gently, signaling him not to be impulsive.

No. 1098 failed to notice Xiao Li's abnormality, and continued to praise the "new world", but with a fake smile on his face: "In a world without crime and disease, everyone will die in happiness,' The Prophet' stipulated the age at which each of us should 'go to sleep', even the sentinel guide can live to be 65 years old..."

"Thanks 'evolution project' for the invention! Thanks 'new father' for the mercy!"

The word "evolution plan" hit Xiao Li and Yu Fei's minds like a heavy hammer, and their overlapping palms were suddenly clenched.You didn't hear it wrong, it is absolutely impossible to hear it wrong!

Number 1098 really said the word "evolution plan"!

But in retrospect, what's so surprising about it?Since the "prophet" is still alive, the "evolution plan" must also be made.

Next to the city of "Nineveh" is the city of "Gomorrah". From a distance, that city looks like a huge prison, cold and cruel.One of the buildings, which was round and glaring white in the sunlight, caught Xiao Li's attention.

"what is that?"

No. 1098 glanced in the direction of his finger, as if seeing something filthy, something that should not be looked at a second time, and quickly looked away: "Panoptic prison. Those who are imprisoned there will never think about it for the rest of their lives." Come out. Because they are dangerous."

Yu Fei frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "The smell of blood over there can still be smelled here."

It was as if the whole city was soaked in a pool of blood. Number 1098 replied: "The city of 'Gomorrah' deals with a large number of 'criminals' every day. Sacrifice itself and purify our world."

As they spoke, they walked into the second "Reformation Center" in the city of "Nineveh".When I first stepped into the gate, the large LED screen on the square suddenly started to flicker, and then showed a familiar yet unfamiliar face of an old man I had seen on the street, with piercing eyes and serious expression. on the face of the "new father".Then the loud music sounded, another signal. With a sound of "hula", all the "scum" in the "reformation center", led by the elliptical robot and a few guards, poured out of the teaching building or dormitory in an orderly manner, and came to the square.

In an instant, the empty square was filled with dense figures.

"What's going on here?" Little Jane was a little scared, looking at the strange faces wearing exactly the same prison labor reform uniforms and hairstyles, their expressions were numb, pale and thin, and there was no light in their eyes looking at the large LED screen.

"The live broadcast of the execution in the city of 'Gomorrah' has begun." No. 1098 said, "No matter what work you are doing, you must stop watching the execution now. Learn lessons and think about it from the execution."

The live broadcast has begun——

A woman with a prominent blackboard hanging around her neck was ushered onto the stage.Her face was pale, her cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, and she was as thin as a stick of dry wood. Even the smallest size of clothes still didn't fit her body.It looks like it's set on a skeleton rack.A lot of hair fell from the top of her head, leaving only a few sparse strands hanging on the scalp.

Maybe she was originally beautiful, maybe she was originally ugly.But now it looks like a "monster" that is neither human nor ghost.She competed with the zombies wandering outside, and on her skin that was exposed outside her clothes, there were still dots of bruises and festering marks.

Yu Fei lowered his head and said softly to Xiao Li: "Obviously she has been tortured."

There is no soul in the eyes of women, which is a state different from numbness.But empty, lifeless.It was frightening to watch and my scalp tingled.

No. 1098 squinted at them, coughed twice and said, "Silence!"

Then, a person dressed as a "priest" entered the LED screen, beside the woman.Xiao Li couldn't help shaking, and subconsciously approached the sentry's arms.Yufei immediately hugged him, stroking his ear gently with his fingers to comfort him.

"Confess the crime you have committed, tell others, and don't follow your old path."

The skeleton-like woman opened and closed her mouth like a puppet, expressing her repentance for her "crimes" clearly and clearly.In the eyes of Xiao Li and Yu Fei, these words were not his true intentions.

The whole "execution" is like a "show".Make a "show" for everyone to see and make them fear.Its source of inspiration, as expected, should come from the cruel punishments of the European Middle Ages.

Little Jane covered her eyes, unwilling to face this cruel punishment.But No. 1098 brutally tore off her hand, and said in a voice trying to suppress the painful emotions: "It must be watched."

But what I never expected was that the voice of the "female prisoner" suddenly changed, his eyes lit up, and the whole person seemed to come alive, and the wandering soul returned to his body.

"I'm innocent! I didn't kill the child in my belly, but accidentally lost it!" She hugged her withered belly, crying with tears streaming down her face, "It was just an accident Miscarriage! 'Prophet' cannot replace 'law', and your real identity is not good, but the embodiment of evil sect! Maybe you can control the machine, but you can never control my mind! Can't control me to my body control!"

Everyone was in an uproar. This passage can be said to be deviant and openly provoking "Xin Guo".But unexpectedly, the "priest" did not dispose of the poor woman in public, but ordered those chubby robots to drag her down and continue to accept the so-called "transformation".

"Only when she is sincerely repentant can she be given the punishment she deserves. Pastor Luther once said, 'If they tire in childbirth, or die, it doesn't matter. Let them die in childbirth, that's why There are women's genes' (*1 - Martin Luther - "On Eternal Life")."

In the city of "Gomorrah", it may take more courage to live than to die.

There were sobs and angry roars from the crowd, followed by a "crackling" electric current sounding, like dominoes, those "scum" fell down one after another under the electric shock released by the watch, and the scene was chaotic.

As the woman said, the so-called "new country" and the "beautiful vision" given by the president are actually false, an illusion.This is not a country!But a land ruled by extremism!

Xiao Li clenched his fists, bewildered.The politicians and leaders he was familiar with in the past and often seen on TV have all become "prophets", "Father Luke" and his "crow mask disciples"!

"...Where are the leaders of country A, the governors of various states, and the mayors of various cities?" Xiao Li couldn't help asking.

No. 1098 turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of struggle and pain. After a while, he uttered a sentence from between his lips: "Country A is in the past, 'Xin Country' is the present. As for the people you mentioned... "

The vision of No. 1098 was projected in the distance, on the gleaming and dazzling "Panoptic Prison".He just squeezed out a syllable in his throat: "'round'..." Immediately afterwards, the watch on his wrist immediately heard the cold voice of "Prophet" and the convulsive, painful electric current: "Warning, warning , red warning."

In the chaos, Xiao Li saw a familiar shadow and green eyes.

"Emily?"
