Comprehensive fear: this dead heroine
Chapter 26
After Alice left the small town with Zuo Si, she headed west all the way, following the route Alice planned to take before.
The winter is long, the sky seems to be occupied by dark clouds, and there is very little time to see the sun. Even if there is no snow, but layers of dark clouds are piled up in the sky, people will feel very uncomfortable if they cannot see the sun.
There was another heavy snowfall last night. Alice and Zuo Si were unlucky. They were on the way when the blizzard came. There was still half a day to go to the next rest point. The two of them were in a car, so they were trapped in the on the road.
It snowed all night, and the whole car was buried in the snow. Zuo Si and Alice pushed open the car door buried in the snow and walked out after a lot of effort.
The car has been specially modified so that it can drive on the snow. However, Zuo Si and Alice have not undergone special modification. When they got out of the car, they got stuck in the snow.
Alice was tall and had long legs, and the snow didn't reach her waist. Zuo Si was a bit miserable. He sank into the snowdrift as soon as he got out of the car, and everything below his shoulders sank into the snowdrift.
When Alice cleaned up the snow on this side of the cab and went around to Zuo Si's side, she found that Zuo Si was still thumping in the snow and wanted to get out.
Seeing this, Alice burst out laughing. She walked over and pulled out Zuo Si who seemed to be growing in the ground.
The snow on the roof of the car was already cleaned by Alice, so she simply picked up Zuo Si and put it on the roof of the car.
Zuo Si blinked and looked down at Alice: "I also need to clear the snow around the car."
Alice gave Zuo Si a funny look, and said, "Are you sure it's you cleaning the snow and not the snow cleaning you?"
Zuo thought for a while and said seriously, "I'm clearing the snow?"
Alice patted Zuo Si's leg hanging beside the car: "Sit down obediently."
Alice's speed was very fast, and within a few minutes, the snow beside the car was cleared. She folded the extended military shovel and put it in the trunk of the car.
This off-road vehicle was specially customized. Although the heat preservation effect was not satisfactory, it was excellent in other aspects. The vehicle was buried in the snow overnight, and there were no traces of freezing on the outer wall of the vehicle and the tires.
Breakfast is the leftover canned beef rice from last night. After adding water, it becomes canned beef porridge.
The canned beef tastes good, but after eating too much these two days, even Zuo Si got a little tired.
After eating the hot meat porridge, the body quickly warmed up, and the two got into the car, ready to move on.
Due to the thick snow, the speed of the vehicle slowed down, and it had only traveled a hundred kilometers in the morning.
Zuo Si looked at the past through the car window, and the outside was still a vast expanse of whiteness, which didn't seem to be any different from before.
Snow, wilderness, without navigation and landmarks, it is extremely easy to go the wrong way.
Today is a rare good weather. The sun broke free from the thick clouds and sprinkled the golden sunlight on the ground. The world wrapped in silver was coated with a faint golden layer.
It would be nice to enjoy the scenery, but neither of the two people in the car was in the mood to enjoy the snow scenery.
Alice found that she took Zuo Si to the wrong path again.
Alice stopped the car, took out the map and checked it.
There are no landmarks around, and it is not easy to identify the direction. Alice held the map and looked for a long time, but she couldn't find out where the two of them were.
If she had gone the wrong way before, it wouldn't matter much, but this time, the supplies in the car were almost exhausted, and she had to go to the supply point set up by the Red Queen to replenish supplies.
Zuo Si obediently sat on the passenger seat, fiddling with a Rubik's cube in his hand.
Turning back and forth, the colors on the Rubik's Cube were still unable to connect to one side. Zuo Si's patience was extremely good, but he was not in a hurry, and he was still fiddling with the Rubik's Cube seriously.
"Alice."
Zuo Si had just turned all one side of the Rubik's Cube into yellow when she heard a somewhat familiar female voice. She froze for a moment and looked up.
The familiar figure of the Red Queen appeared on the main console of the car.
Zuo Si blinked his eyes, looked at the Red Queen's petite and exquisite voice, and asked with some doubts: "Red Queen, why did you become smaller?"
The moment the Red Queen appeared, Alice's body tensed instantly. She put down the map in her hand, raised her head, and looked at the Red Queen who was only the size of an adult's forearm with full alertness.
She really had a way to know where they were.
"How will you be here?"
"Alice, you probably don't know that everything that comes out of the New York base has my mark on it."
The corners of Alice's lips tightened, and her fear of the Red Queen grew deeper.
Alice and the surviving humans need the Red Queen, but they must guard against the Red Queen.
After the red, she is no longer a simple artificial intelligence program, she can think independently, and also has her own consciousness.
The last hope of mankind seems to be in her hands, but in fact, it is all controlled by the Red Queen. The operation of the base and the search for survivors all have the shadow of the Red Queen.
If the Red Queen wants to do something...
Alice suppressed those chaotic thoughts. She looked at the Red Queen and said, "What do you want from me? Did something happen in the base?"
The Red Queen shook her head and said, "The base is running well. On the ground, another tenth of the area in New York City has been cleared. I have already sent people to settle in."
The person in the red queen's mouth refers to a replica, not a human.
Humans are too timid. They would rather hide in the ground than return to where they should be. Even if Alice repeatedly promised that there would be no more zombies in New York City, they would not believe it.
"Then why are you looking for me?"
The red queen turned around, looked at the light-golden snow outside the car window, and replied: "Since yesterday afternoon, I have noticed that you have deviated from the established route and are getting farther and farther away from the supply point. According to my calculations, The materials you brought out are running out, if you continue to deviate from the correct path, you will face great trouble."
"I think you need my help."
The Red Queen has appeared, and she has revealed the unspoken things between the two of them. No matter what her ultimate goal is, Alice, who has no choice, now has only one way to go.
In such a world, if they lose their means of transportation, as well as their food and water sources, the fate they will face can be imagined.
Alice turned on the satellite map and selected the correct route.
The red queen's figure flickered for a moment, as if she was about to disappear. In the next second, her figure solidified again. The flickering just now was more likely to be caused by a bad signal.
"Alice, everything I do is for the future of mankind."
After Hong Hou finished speaking, she turned her head and looked in Zuo Si's direction. Zuo Si raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a big smile.
The Red Queen turned her head silently, and continued to look at Alice: "Our ultimate goal is the same, you don't need to guard against me."
After saying this, the Red Queen cut off contact without waiting for Alice's answer.
Her figure disappeared into the car, Alice's body was still tense, she pursed her lips, looked at the direction where Hong Hou disappeared, and her blue eyes slowly became solemn.
It is impossible for the Red Queen to appear for no reason. For so long before, the Red Queen has been acting as if she has not tampered with her car. Now it is suddenly exposed. What is the reason?
There are too few known clues now, and Alice can't figure out what Hong Hou wants to do. She clearly feels that this artificial intelligence has begun to lose control.
"Alice?"
As if sensing that Alice's mood was wrong, Zuo Si leaned over and looked at Alice with his head tilted.
"What's the matter with you, Alice?"
Alice took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Zuo Si.
"Zuo Si, do you believe me?"
Zuo Si nodded vigorously: "Of course I believe you."
Alice stretched out her hand, touched Zuo Si's soft hair, and said, "Zuo Si, the Red Queen is not a good person, you can't trust her."
Zuo Si showed a blank look on his face: "But..." But she clearly saved you before.
Before she could speak, she was interrupted by Alice: "Remember what I said, the red queen can't be trusted, no matter when, don't trust her."
"I see, Alice."
In this world, the person Zuo Si trusts the most is Alice. Since she said that the Red Queen cannot be trusted, then she doesn't believe it.
Hearing what Zuo Si said, Alice's frowning brows relaxed a little. No matter what the Red Queen was planning, she would always show her fangs.
The Red Queen has already planned the route. As long as they follow that route, they will reach the supply point. Alice restarted the car and rushed towards the destination.
At the same time, after the Red Queen cut off the communication, she began to arrange everything.
The replica of Alice has already transported the experimental body from the previous underground hive. After those monsters are out of the nutrient solution, they will not survive for too long. Only after confirming the time when Alice reaches the destination can the experimental body be sent to to the given location.
The two test subjects No. 70.00 and No. [-] have arrived at their destination ahead of schedule. They have [-]% of the memory of the main body, which is enough to make it look like the real one.
The big net has been opened, just waiting for the prey to step into it. The red queen looked at the moving red dot on the screen, and the data flow in her eyes was flowing rapidly.
***
The supply point set up by the Red Queen is in a small town. Every time Alice leaves the New York base, she will plan the route in advance. The Red Queen will deliver the supplies to the predetermined location by helicopter in advance, so that Alice can pick them up.
There are many people like Alice searching for humans in Xincun, and they are also replicas.
Human beings are already a scarce resource and need to be closely protected. The task of searching for surviving humans naturally falls on replicators that can be mass-produced.
Alice could stay in the base, but that kind of comfortable life didn't suit her, so she chose another path.
Alice turned her head and glanced at the little girl sitting in the co-pilot seat playing Rubik's Cube, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.
If not, she would not have met this little guy.
Three hours later, Alice and Zuo Si arrived at their destination.
After several heavy snowfalls in succession, the snow on the ground was already very thick, and more than half of the houses in the town had been buried by the snow. Alice knew that the supplies were all in this place, but she didn't know the exact location.
"Zuo Si."
Alice turned her head and shouted, Zuo Si, who was playing Rubik's Cube in a daze, raised his head and looked at Alice in confusion: "What?"
"Give me the black bag in the trunk."
"it is good."
Zuo Si agreed, put down the Rubik's Cube in his hand, and flipped over the seat neatly—Alice is tall and has long legs, and although the space of the off-road vehicle is large enough, it is difficult to flip from the front row to the trunk. Still a little powerless, at this time, the petite Zuo Si came in handy.
The original full trunk was more than half empty, Zuo Si quickly dragged out the black backpack and handed it to Alice.
There were a lot of things in the backpack, and Alice searched for a long time before finding out what she needed.
It was a palm-sized silver box, which looked a bit like a powder box for makeup. Alice threw the backpack on the back seat, and then opened the silver box.
The things contained in the box are naturally not powder cakes. After opening the box, a three-dimensional projection appears in the void.
The blue light lit up, and Zuo Si looked up. When he saw a miniature town model in the void, Zuo Si widened his eyes and murmured, "It's so beautiful."
Her voice was so low that Alice didn't hear it. She carefully looked at the shrunken projection of the town, tapped her fingers a few times in the void, and the projection of the town began to rotate, and a red dot appeared on the projection of the model. middle.
In the blue screen, the red dot is particularly conspicuous. Alice zoomed in on the location of the red dot and found that it was the only church in the town.
Her brows frowned inadvertently. Is it a coincidence that the supplies are placed in the church?
Alice was a little hesitant, but now that they were running out of ammunition and food, they had to go to the church this time.
She is not a procrastination person, this trip must go, with the ability of the red queen, if she really wants to attack them, she has a lot of methods, so it doesn't take so much trouble.
Alice used human thinking to speculate on artificial intelligence programs, but she forgot that although the Red Queen bears the name of artificial intelligence, she is not human.
The town wasn't too big, and the car soon stopped outside the church. Alice and Zuo Si looked out of the glass window at the church, which was covered by heavy snow, and fell into silence.
The car is specially designed to drive in the snow, but both of them are flesh and blood human beings, and have not been specially designed. Just looking at the snow that has buried more than half of the church, they can know How thick is the snow, let alone Zuo Si, even if Alice goes out, only her head will be left outside.
"Zuo Si, you stay in the car, I'll clear a way, and you're coming out."
Alice ordered.
Zuo Si suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed Alice's arm.
"I'm not well, Alice."
Zuo Si's face turned pale, and there was no trace of blood on her lips. She was holding Alice's arm tightly, and the blue blood vessels were clearly visible.
"I'm not well, Alice."
Zuo Si's face became paler and paler. Looking at Alice, she became very weak.
"Alice, I'm so sorry."
Seeing her like this, Alice showed anxiety on her face. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Zuo Si's hand on her arm. It was so cold that she felt as if she had caught a piece of ice, which was biting to the bone. The coldness instantly permeated 1's whole body.
Something was wrong with Zuo Si. Alice stretched out her hand to touch Zuo Si's forehead. Her head was as cold as her hand. Alice didn't feel like she was touching a person, but a piece of ice. like.
"Zuo Si, what's wrong with you?"
Alice asked anxiously, Zuo Si reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at Alice, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the next second, the darkness dragged her consciousness into the abyss, Zuo Si didn't say a word When he said it, he fainted.
"Zuo Si!"
After Zuo Si passed out, her body temperature returned to normal, and her cheeks also returned to normal color. Alice frowned and looked at Qin Yue, always feeling that something seemed wrong.
After carefully checking Zuo Si's body, Alice didn't find anything wrong. In addition, when she suddenly fell asleep before, Alice suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.
It was getting late now, and she had to shovel a way to the church first.
Alice flattened the co-pilot's seat and picked up a comfortable position to place Zuo Si.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back."
Alice touched Zuo Si's hair and got out of the car.
She first went to the back row to take out the folded military shovel, and soon began to shovel the snow. The place where Alice parked was not far from the gate of the church, but the snow was too thick, and she spent a lot of effort just now. A path was cleared.
The door of the church opened to the inside. Alice put her ear on the door and listened to the movement inside the door.
The church was quiet and there was no sound. Alice breathed a sigh of relief and pushed open the door of the church.
This church is not big, roughly estimated to be only two to three hundred square meters. Alice glanced at it, and found that the church was empty, except for a few boxes stacked under the cross, there was nothing else.
Alice frowned slightly when she thought of the rotten stools they saw in the last church.
The church is really too clean.
But this is where the supplies are stored, and perhaps the people sent by the Red Queen cleaned it up.
Alice stomped her feet, and the snow on her boots fell to the ground, which soon turned into a puddle of water. She raised her feet and walked quickly towards the place where the supplies were placed.
outside the church.
In a house not far away, the girl in black leather pulled out the dagger from the heart of the girl standing opposite her.
The blood spurted out in an instant, and the girl took a few steps back, all the blood that spewed out fell on the ground, and there was not a single trace of blood on her body.
Just killed someone, but the girl didn't show any expression on her face. She reached out and threw the dagger at the girl, and turned her head to look at the picture on the computer screen next to her.
Alice had already walked into the church, but Zuo Si was not with her.
A glint appeared in the girl's eyes, and she turned and left the room.
Zuo Si, who was in a coma, was carried out of the car. Her clothes were stripped off and put on another girl. The girl lay down in the car instead of her. The woman in the fur coat took it away.
The car door was closed, and the girl closed her eyes, pretending to be in a deep sleep.
It was quiet all around, the sun was pulled into the thick clouds by the dark clouds at some point, the sun was blocked, and the temperature began to drop.
The monster's roar seemed to come from a distant place, love, but soon, those roars approached here.
The girl lying on the passenger seat opened her eyes, and her black pupils almost occupied the entire eye sockets. She opened the car door and walked out, roaring at the black shadow that was rushing towards here.
"what!!!"
A sharp female voice came in from outside the church, and at the same time, the familiar roar of a monster sounded at the same time, Alice's face changed suddenly, she dropped the supplies and ran towards the outside of the church.
Just as he stepped out of the door of the church, a huge figure was thrown from a distance, hit the ground heavily, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.
Alice took a step back and looked down. When she saw the monster clearly, Alice's pupils constricted instantly.
It was the monster they met in the underground beehive before. Its head had been crushed, and the yellow-brown mucus seeped out from the crushed head, and fell on the snow that had not been swept clean on the ground. It was quickly melted away, revealing the blue slate below.
Alice took a deep breath and looked up.
Not far from the car, the petite Zuo Si was trembling with four or five monsters. She was petite and kept walking between the gaps of the monsters. Several times, she was almost touched by the monster's sharp claws. But she narrowly avoided it again.
Alice saw that Zuo Si's nails became black and long. Every time he swung them, he would leave a deep scratch on the monster's body. In just a few breaths, Zuo Si crushed the heads of two more monsters. , there are only three monsters around her left.
At this moment, a monster seemed to have discovered Alice's existence. It immediately dropped Zuo Si and rushed towards Alice.
Alice pulled out a pistol from the pouch on her waist, aimed at the monster's head, and shot quickly.
This monster was injured by Zuo Si before, and its reaction speed was a little slow. Before the raised arm could protect the head, it was smashed by the bullet shot by Alice.
It fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then fell silent. At the same time, Zuo Si's battle on the other side also stopped. After she eliminated the last two monsters, she stood there straight and still. , her hand that had turned into a claw hadn't recovered yet, and a viscous yellow-brown liquid dripped down from her finger and claw.
Alice only felt a pain in her heart, and quickly walked towards Zuo Si, Zuo Si seemed to have reached the limit, her body swayed, and fell down in the snow with a plop.
"Zuo Si!"
Alice yelled, and ran over to hug Zuo Si.
Zuo Si's body was covered with the monster's slime, but the slime was much less corrosive than before. After it touched his hands, it only brought a slight tingling sensation, and there was no other feeling after that.
Zuo Si was unconscious, and Alice was anxious. Naturally, she didn't notice this kind of thing. She hugged Zuo Si's limp body and saw that her hands had not yet turned into normal, and her heart ached terribly.
She is still just a child.
These monsters are exactly the same as the monsters in the underground hive, and they are hundreds of kilometers away from the hive. How did these monsters come here?
Alice suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her head, first carried Zuo Si into the church, and changed her slime-stained clothes.
Zuo Si closed his eyes tightly and fell into a deep coma. Being tortured by Alice, there was no sign of waking up.
Alice was distraught, and after Zuo Si was settled, she first moved the supplies to the car, and finally carried Zuo Si into the car.
The sky has already darkened, but Alice has no plan to spend the night in this small town. There are so many monsters dead here, who knows what will come over. Zuo Si's current situation is not very good. If she encounters danger, Alice will not He must be able to take care of her.
Alice didn't start the car, she took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions, and then started to contact the Red Queen.
The Red Queen looked indifferently at the message requesting communication from Alice, and had no intention of answering it.
She had already got what she wanted, and before that, she didn't want Alice to ruin her plan.
Alice tried to contact the Red Queen, but the Red Queen never responded to her. Alice felt a little uneasy in her heart. She turned her head to look at Zuo Si in the co-pilot's seat, and she suppressed the uneasiness again.
Zuo Si was still here, and those monsters might not have been brought by the Red Queen, and he was waiting for Zuo Si to wake up and ask what happened.
The Red Queen deliberately refused to answer her satellite phone, so Alice stopped trying to contact the Red Queen. She drove Zuo Si away from the small town and continued on the original route.
This time, Zuo Si was in a coma for five days before waking up.
When Alice saw the 'Zuosi' after waking up, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly.
Alice reached out her hand as fast as lightning, and clamped Zuo Si's arm.
"You're not Zuo Si! Who are you? Why are you here?!"
'Zuo Si' opened a pair of dark eyes and looked at Alice in a daze, as if he didn't know what she meant.
"Alice, I'm Zuo Si, why do you..."
Alice didn't say much, she opened the car door, and pulled Zuo Si, who was sitting in the driving seat, who didn't seem to know what happened, out of the car and threw it on the snow.
She is not Zuo Si!
Alice's eyes were red, and she didn't even look at the person exactly like Zuo Si who fell in the snow.
In this world, it is not difficult to make an identical person. Alice thought of the last time she saw Zuo Si, and her blood turned cold little by little.
It turned out that the Red Queen had never given up on Zuo Si as a test subject. All she had done before was to paralyze her. In the end, she took Zuo Si away when she was not paying attention.
Five days have passed, and it will take more than half a month for her to return to the base from here, even if she travels non-stop. Such a long time is enough for the queen to do many things.
Alice opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. She glanced out of the car window inadvertently. She saw the girl who had fallen in the snow slowly get up, patted the snow on her body, and sighed. He hung his head, not knowing what to think.
Her figure overlapped with Zuo Si's figure, Alice took a deep breath and calmed down slowly.
What is wrong with this replica?
Alice opened the car window and yelled at the replica, "Come up."
The duplicate body looked up at Alice, the corners of her mouth hooked up, showing a bright smile, and the next second, she took out a dagger from nowhere and pierced it deeply into her heart.
Blood spurted out, Zuo Si's smile froze on her face, and she fell down straight.
Alice did not expect that she would make such a choice.
Not long after he died, the clone's body turned into a puddle of reddish-brown liquid, which melted into the snow.
Such is the fate of the replica.
It took Alice a month to finally rush back to the New York base, and it was also the coldest time of the year.
She returned to the underground base unimpeded all the way, and the moment she entered the base, it was like entering another world.
Passing through the long silver corridor, Alice didn't meet anyone on the way, and she was rushing day and night, which made Alice look a little haggard, but there seemed to be a raging flame in those green eyes. combustion.
From the moment she entered New York City, the Red Queen knew that Alice had returned. She did nothing but stayed in the laboratory, waiting for Alice's arrival.
There are many laboratories in the underground base in New York, some of which Alice knows, and some of which Alice does not know. The place where the Red Queen is located is known to Alice, in the laboratory where Zuo Si once stayed.
Alice had already arrived at the door of the laboratory. She didn't do anything, and the silver door in front of her slowly opened. In the entire laboratory, except for the Red Queen, there was no one else there.
Alice strode towards the red queen and stood two meters away from her.
"Red Empress, where is Zuo Si?"
The Red Queen pointed to the nearby laboratory and said, "There she is."
Alice didn't check on Zuo Si's situation, she just looked at the Red Queen, and asked in a cold voice, "Red Queen, what exactly do you want to do?"
The Red Queen returned and said, "As you can see, I am protecting human beings."
"Protect humans?"
Alice seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world: "Red Queen, do you mean to protect human beings by locking them up in a laboratory and treating them like guinea pigs?"
"Red Empress, what did you do to Zuo Si? I told you that you are not allowed to deal with Zuo Si in any way. Could your program make you disobey my orders?"
The Red Queen looked at Alice silently. There was no expression on the face that was very similar to Alice. She just looked at Alice like that, and only after a long time did she speak. What she asked was another person who had no connection with the previous one. question.
"Alice, what is a human being?"
Alice was stunned. She looked at the red queen and frowned.
"What do you mean?"
The Red Queen ignored Alice, and said to herself: "Humans are advanced animals evolved from apes. Their wisdom surpasses many creatures. Although their bodies are fragile, they have become the masters of this world with their wisdom. "
"Alice, what is your definition of human beings? It is exactly the same as human DNA, body structure, and appearance. Does it belong to human beings, or do they only evolve naturally and be born from the mother's body to be human?"
Alice vaguely felt that something was wrong. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the red queen.
"Do replicas count as humans?"
Alice replied subconsciously, "Of course not."
The Red Queen raised her head and looked directly at Alice. There was no emotion in those cold, inorganic eyes.
"It's a pity, Alice, if the clones are not human beings, there probably won't be any human beings left in this world."
Alice froze there completely as if struck by lightning.
"What did you say?!"
"If the clones are not human beings, the human race is already extinct."

The winter is long, the sky seems to be occupied by dark clouds, and there is very little time to see the sun. Even if there is no snow, but layers of dark clouds are piled up in the sky, people will feel very uncomfortable if they cannot see the sun.
There was another heavy snowfall last night. Alice and Zuo Si were unlucky. They were on the way when the blizzard came. There was still half a day to go to the next rest point. The two of them were in a car, so they were trapped in the on the road.
It snowed all night, and the whole car was buried in the snow. Zuo Si and Alice pushed open the car door buried in the snow and walked out after a lot of effort.
The car has been specially modified so that it can drive on the snow. However, Zuo Si and Alice have not undergone special modification. When they got out of the car, they got stuck in the snow.
Alice was tall and had long legs, and the snow didn't reach her waist. Zuo Si was a bit miserable. He sank into the snowdrift as soon as he got out of the car, and everything below his shoulders sank into the snowdrift.
When Alice cleaned up the snow on this side of the cab and went around to Zuo Si's side, she found that Zuo Si was still thumping in the snow and wanted to get out.
Seeing this, Alice burst out laughing. She walked over and pulled out Zuo Si who seemed to be growing in the ground.
The snow on the roof of the car was already cleaned by Alice, so she simply picked up Zuo Si and put it on the roof of the car.
Zuo Si blinked and looked down at Alice: "I also need to clear the snow around the car."
Alice gave Zuo Si a funny look, and said, "Are you sure it's you cleaning the snow and not the snow cleaning you?"
Zuo thought for a while and said seriously, "I'm clearing the snow?"
Alice patted Zuo Si's leg hanging beside the car: "Sit down obediently."
Alice's speed was very fast, and within a few minutes, the snow beside the car was cleared. She folded the extended military shovel and put it in the trunk of the car.
This off-road vehicle was specially customized. Although the heat preservation effect was not satisfactory, it was excellent in other aspects. The vehicle was buried in the snow overnight, and there were no traces of freezing on the outer wall of the vehicle and the tires.
Breakfast is the leftover canned beef rice from last night. After adding water, it becomes canned beef porridge.
The canned beef tastes good, but after eating too much these two days, even Zuo Si got a little tired.
After eating the hot meat porridge, the body quickly warmed up, and the two got into the car, ready to move on.
Due to the thick snow, the speed of the vehicle slowed down, and it had only traveled a hundred kilometers in the morning.
Zuo Si looked at the past through the car window, and the outside was still a vast expanse of whiteness, which didn't seem to be any different from before.
Snow, wilderness, without navigation and landmarks, it is extremely easy to go the wrong way.
Today is a rare good weather. The sun broke free from the thick clouds and sprinkled the golden sunlight on the ground. The world wrapped in silver was coated with a faint golden layer.
It would be nice to enjoy the scenery, but neither of the two people in the car was in the mood to enjoy the snow scenery.
Alice found that she took Zuo Si to the wrong path again.
Alice stopped the car, took out the map and checked it.
There are no landmarks around, and it is not easy to identify the direction. Alice held the map and looked for a long time, but she couldn't find out where the two of them were.
If she had gone the wrong way before, it wouldn't matter much, but this time, the supplies in the car were almost exhausted, and she had to go to the supply point set up by the Red Queen to replenish supplies.
Zuo Si obediently sat on the passenger seat, fiddling with a Rubik's cube in his hand.
Turning back and forth, the colors on the Rubik's Cube were still unable to connect to one side. Zuo Si's patience was extremely good, but he was not in a hurry, and he was still fiddling with the Rubik's Cube seriously.
"Alice."
Zuo Si had just turned all one side of the Rubik's Cube into yellow when she heard a somewhat familiar female voice. She froze for a moment and looked up.
The familiar figure of the Red Queen appeared on the main console of the car.
Zuo Si blinked his eyes, looked at the Red Queen's petite and exquisite voice, and asked with some doubts: "Red Queen, why did you become smaller?"
The moment the Red Queen appeared, Alice's body tensed instantly. She put down the map in her hand, raised her head, and looked at the Red Queen who was only the size of an adult's forearm with full alertness.
She really had a way to know where they were.
"How will you be here?"
"Alice, you probably don't know that everything that comes out of the New York base has my mark on it."
The corners of Alice's lips tightened, and her fear of the Red Queen grew deeper.
Alice and the surviving humans need the Red Queen, but they must guard against the Red Queen.
After the red, she is no longer a simple artificial intelligence program, she can think independently, and also has her own consciousness.
The last hope of mankind seems to be in her hands, but in fact, it is all controlled by the Red Queen. The operation of the base and the search for survivors all have the shadow of the Red Queen.
If the Red Queen wants to do something...
Alice suppressed those chaotic thoughts. She looked at the Red Queen and said, "What do you want from me? Did something happen in the base?"
The Red Queen shook her head and said, "The base is running well. On the ground, another tenth of the area in New York City has been cleared. I have already sent people to settle in."
The person in the red queen's mouth refers to a replica, not a human.
Humans are too timid. They would rather hide in the ground than return to where they should be. Even if Alice repeatedly promised that there would be no more zombies in New York City, they would not believe it.
"Then why are you looking for me?"
The red queen turned around, looked at the light-golden snow outside the car window, and replied: "Since yesterday afternoon, I have noticed that you have deviated from the established route and are getting farther and farther away from the supply point. According to my calculations, The materials you brought out are running out, if you continue to deviate from the correct path, you will face great trouble."
"I think you need my help."
The Red Queen has appeared, and she has revealed the unspoken things between the two of them. No matter what her ultimate goal is, Alice, who has no choice, now has only one way to go.
In such a world, if they lose their means of transportation, as well as their food and water sources, the fate they will face can be imagined.
Alice turned on the satellite map and selected the correct route.
The red queen's figure flickered for a moment, as if she was about to disappear. In the next second, her figure solidified again. The flickering just now was more likely to be caused by a bad signal.
"Alice, everything I do is for the future of mankind."
After Hong Hou finished speaking, she turned her head and looked in Zuo Si's direction. Zuo Si raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a big smile.
The Red Queen turned her head silently, and continued to look at Alice: "Our ultimate goal is the same, you don't need to guard against me."
After saying this, the Red Queen cut off contact without waiting for Alice's answer.
Her figure disappeared into the car, Alice's body was still tense, she pursed her lips, looked at the direction where Hong Hou disappeared, and her blue eyes slowly became solemn.
It is impossible for the Red Queen to appear for no reason. For so long before, the Red Queen has been acting as if she has not tampered with her car. Now it is suddenly exposed. What is the reason?
There are too few known clues now, and Alice can't figure out what Hong Hou wants to do. She clearly feels that this artificial intelligence has begun to lose control.
"Alice?"
As if sensing that Alice's mood was wrong, Zuo Si leaned over and looked at Alice with his head tilted.
"What's the matter with you, Alice?"
Alice took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Zuo Si.
"Zuo Si, do you believe me?"
Zuo Si nodded vigorously: "Of course I believe you."
Alice stretched out her hand, touched Zuo Si's soft hair, and said, "Zuo Si, the Red Queen is not a good person, you can't trust her."
Zuo Si showed a blank look on his face: "But..." But she clearly saved you before.
Before she could speak, she was interrupted by Alice: "Remember what I said, the red queen can't be trusted, no matter when, don't trust her."
"I see, Alice."
In this world, the person Zuo Si trusts the most is Alice. Since she said that the Red Queen cannot be trusted, then she doesn't believe it.
Hearing what Zuo Si said, Alice's frowning brows relaxed a little. No matter what the Red Queen was planning, she would always show her fangs.
The Red Queen has already planned the route. As long as they follow that route, they will reach the supply point. Alice restarted the car and rushed towards the destination.
At the same time, after the Red Queen cut off the communication, she began to arrange everything.
The replica of Alice has already transported the experimental body from the previous underground hive. After those monsters are out of the nutrient solution, they will not survive for too long. Only after confirming the time when Alice reaches the destination can the experimental body be sent to to the given location.
The two test subjects No. 70.00 and No. [-] have arrived at their destination ahead of schedule. They have [-]% of the memory of the main body, which is enough to make it look like the real one.
The big net has been opened, just waiting for the prey to step into it. The red queen looked at the moving red dot on the screen, and the data flow in her eyes was flowing rapidly.
***
The supply point set up by the Red Queen is in a small town. Every time Alice leaves the New York base, she will plan the route in advance. The Red Queen will deliver the supplies to the predetermined location by helicopter in advance, so that Alice can pick them up.
There are many people like Alice searching for humans in Xincun, and they are also replicas.
Human beings are already a scarce resource and need to be closely protected. The task of searching for surviving humans naturally falls on replicators that can be mass-produced.
Alice could stay in the base, but that kind of comfortable life didn't suit her, so she chose another path.
Alice turned her head and glanced at the little girl sitting in the co-pilot seat playing Rubik's Cube, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.
If not, she would not have met this little guy.
Three hours later, Alice and Zuo Si arrived at their destination.
After several heavy snowfalls in succession, the snow on the ground was already very thick, and more than half of the houses in the town had been buried by the snow. Alice knew that the supplies were all in this place, but she didn't know the exact location.
"Zuo Si."
Alice turned her head and shouted, Zuo Si, who was playing Rubik's Cube in a daze, raised his head and looked at Alice in confusion: "What?"
"Give me the black bag in the trunk."
"it is good."
Zuo Si agreed, put down the Rubik's Cube in his hand, and flipped over the seat neatly—Alice is tall and has long legs, and although the space of the off-road vehicle is large enough, it is difficult to flip from the front row to the trunk. Still a little powerless, at this time, the petite Zuo Si came in handy.
The original full trunk was more than half empty, Zuo Si quickly dragged out the black backpack and handed it to Alice.
There were a lot of things in the backpack, and Alice searched for a long time before finding out what she needed.
It was a palm-sized silver box, which looked a bit like a powder box for makeup. Alice threw the backpack on the back seat, and then opened the silver box.
The things contained in the box are naturally not powder cakes. After opening the box, a three-dimensional projection appears in the void.
The blue light lit up, and Zuo Si looked up. When he saw a miniature town model in the void, Zuo Si widened his eyes and murmured, "It's so beautiful."
Her voice was so low that Alice didn't hear it. She carefully looked at the shrunken projection of the town, tapped her fingers a few times in the void, and the projection of the town began to rotate, and a red dot appeared on the projection of the model. middle.
In the blue screen, the red dot is particularly conspicuous. Alice zoomed in on the location of the red dot and found that it was the only church in the town.
Her brows frowned inadvertently. Is it a coincidence that the supplies are placed in the church?
Alice was a little hesitant, but now that they were running out of ammunition and food, they had to go to the church this time.
She is not a procrastination person, this trip must go, with the ability of the red queen, if she really wants to attack them, she has a lot of methods, so it doesn't take so much trouble.
Alice used human thinking to speculate on artificial intelligence programs, but she forgot that although the Red Queen bears the name of artificial intelligence, she is not human.
The town wasn't too big, and the car soon stopped outside the church. Alice and Zuo Si looked out of the glass window at the church, which was covered by heavy snow, and fell into silence.
The car is specially designed to drive in the snow, but both of them are flesh and blood human beings, and have not been specially designed. Just looking at the snow that has buried more than half of the church, they can know How thick is the snow, let alone Zuo Si, even if Alice goes out, only her head will be left outside.
"Zuo Si, you stay in the car, I'll clear a way, and you're coming out."
Alice ordered.
Zuo Si suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed Alice's arm.
"I'm not well, Alice."
Zuo Si's face turned pale, and there was no trace of blood on her lips. She was holding Alice's arm tightly, and the blue blood vessels were clearly visible.
"I'm not well, Alice."
Zuo Si's face became paler and paler. Looking at Alice, she became very weak.
"Alice, I'm so sorry."
Seeing her like this, Alice showed anxiety on her face. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Zuo Si's hand on her arm. It was so cold that she felt as if she had caught a piece of ice, which was biting to the bone. The coldness instantly permeated 1's whole body.
Something was wrong with Zuo Si. Alice stretched out her hand to touch Zuo Si's forehead. Her head was as cold as her hand. Alice didn't feel like she was touching a person, but a piece of ice. like.
"Zuo Si, what's wrong with you?"
Alice asked anxiously, Zuo Si reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at Alice, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the next second, the darkness dragged her consciousness into the abyss, Zuo Si didn't say a word When he said it, he fainted.
"Zuo Si!"
After Zuo Si passed out, her body temperature returned to normal, and her cheeks also returned to normal color. Alice frowned and looked at Qin Yue, always feeling that something seemed wrong.
After carefully checking Zuo Si's body, Alice didn't find anything wrong. In addition, when she suddenly fell asleep before, Alice suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.
It was getting late now, and she had to shovel a way to the church first.
Alice flattened the co-pilot's seat and picked up a comfortable position to place Zuo Si.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back."
Alice touched Zuo Si's hair and got out of the car.
She first went to the back row to take out the folded military shovel, and soon began to shovel the snow. The place where Alice parked was not far from the gate of the church, but the snow was too thick, and she spent a lot of effort just now. A path was cleared.
The door of the church opened to the inside. Alice put her ear on the door and listened to the movement inside the door.
The church was quiet and there was no sound. Alice breathed a sigh of relief and pushed open the door of the church.
This church is not big, roughly estimated to be only two to three hundred square meters. Alice glanced at it, and found that the church was empty, except for a few boxes stacked under the cross, there was nothing else.
Alice frowned slightly when she thought of the rotten stools they saw in the last church.
The church is really too clean.
But this is where the supplies are stored, and perhaps the people sent by the Red Queen cleaned it up.
Alice stomped her feet, and the snow on her boots fell to the ground, which soon turned into a puddle of water. She raised her feet and walked quickly towards the place where the supplies were placed.
outside the church.
In a house not far away, the girl in black leather pulled out the dagger from the heart of the girl standing opposite her.
The blood spurted out in an instant, and the girl took a few steps back, all the blood that spewed out fell on the ground, and there was not a single trace of blood on her body.
Just killed someone, but the girl didn't show any expression on her face. She reached out and threw the dagger at the girl, and turned her head to look at the picture on the computer screen next to her.
Alice had already walked into the church, but Zuo Si was not with her.
A glint appeared in the girl's eyes, and she turned and left the room.
Zuo Si, who was in a coma, was carried out of the car. Her clothes were stripped off and put on another girl. The girl lay down in the car instead of her. The woman in the fur coat took it away.
The car door was closed, and the girl closed her eyes, pretending to be in a deep sleep.
It was quiet all around, the sun was pulled into the thick clouds by the dark clouds at some point, the sun was blocked, and the temperature began to drop.
The monster's roar seemed to come from a distant place, love, but soon, those roars approached here.
The girl lying on the passenger seat opened her eyes, and her black pupils almost occupied the entire eye sockets. She opened the car door and walked out, roaring at the black shadow that was rushing towards here.
"what!!!"
A sharp female voice came in from outside the church, and at the same time, the familiar roar of a monster sounded at the same time, Alice's face changed suddenly, she dropped the supplies and ran towards the outside of the church.
Just as he stepped out of the door of the church, a huge figure was thrown from a distance, hit the ground heavily, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.
Alice took a step back and looked down. When she saw the monster clearly, Alice's pupils constricted instantly.
It was the monster they met in the underground beehive before. Its head had been crushed, and the yellow-brown mucus seeped out from the crushed head, and fell on the snow that had not been swept clean on the ground. It was quickly melted away, revealing the blue slate below.
Alice took a deep breath and looked up.
Not far from the car, the petite Zuo Si was trembling with four or five monsters. She was petite and kept walking between the gaps of the monsters. Several times, she was almost touched by the monster's sharp claws. But she narrowly avoided it again.
Alice saw that Zuo Si's nails became black and long. Every time he swung them, he would leave a deep scratch on the monster's body. In just a few breaths, Zuo Si crushed the heads of two more monsters. , there are only three monsters around her left.
At this moment, a monster seemed to have discovered Alice's existence. It immediately dropped Zuo Si and rushed towards Alice.
Alice pulled out a pistol from the pouch on her waist, aimed at the monster's head, and shot quickly.
This monster was injured by Zuo Si before, and its reaction speed was a little slow. Before the raised arm could protect the head, it was smashed by the bullet shot by Alice.
It fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then fell silent. At the same time, Zuo Si's battle on the other side also stopped. After she eliminated the last two monsters, she stood there straight and still. , her hand that had turned into a claw hadn't recovered yet, and a viscous yellow-brown liquid dripped down from her finger and claw.
Alice only felt a pain in her heart, and quickly walked towards Zuo Si, Zuo Si seemed to have reached the limit, her body swayed, and fell down in the snow with a plop.
"Zuo Si!"
Alice yelled, and ran over to hug Zuo Si.
Zuo Si's body was covered with the monster's slime, but the slime was much less corrosive than before. After it touched his hands, it only brought a slight tingling sensation, and there was no other feeling after that.
Zuo Si was unconscious, and Alice was anxious. Naturally, she didn't notice this kind of thing. She hugged Zuo Si's limp body and saw that her hands had not yet turned into normal, and her heart ached terribly.
She is still just a child.
These monsters are exactly the same as the monsters in the underground hive, and they are hundreds of kilometers away from the hive. How did these monsters come here?
Alice suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her head, first carried Zuo Si into the church, and changed her slime-stained clothes.
Zuo Si closed his eyes tightly and fell into a deep coma. Being tortured by Alice, there was no sign of waking up.
Alice was distraught, and after Zuo Si was settled, she first moved the supplies to the car, and finally carried Zuo Si into the car.
The sky has already darkened, but Alice has no plan to spend the night in this small town. There are so many monsters dead here, who knows what will come over. Zuo Si's current situation is not very good. If she encounters danger, Alice will not He must be able to take care of her.
Alice didn't start the car, she took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions, and then started to contact the Red Queen.
The Red Queen looked indifferently at the message requesting communication from Alice, and had no intention of answering it.
She had already got what she wanted, and before that, she didn't want Alice to ruin her plan.
Alice tried to contact the Red Queen, but the Red Queen never responded to her. Alice felt a little uneasy in her heart. She turned her head to look at Zuo Si in the co-pilot's seat, and she suppressed the uneasiness again.
Zuo Si was still here, and those monsters might not have been brought by the Red Queen, and he was waiting for Zuo Si to wake up and ask what happened.
The Red Queen deliberately refused to answer her satellite phone, so Alice stopped trying to contact the Red Queen. She drove Zuo Si away from the small town and continued on the original route.
This time, Zuo Si was in a coma for five days before waking up.
When Alice saw the 'Zuosi' after waking up, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly.
Alice reached out her hand as fast as lightning, and clamped Zuo Si's arm.
"You're not Zuo Si! Who are you? Why are you here?!"
'Zuo Si' opened a pair of dark eyes and looked at Alice in a daze, as if he didn't know what she meant.
"Alice, I'm Zuo Si, why do you..."
Alice didn't say much, she opened the car door, and pulled Zuo Si, who was sitting in the driving seat, who didn't seem to know what happened, out of the car and threw it on the snow.
She is not Zuo Si!
Alice's eyes were red, and she didn't even look at the person exactly like Zuo Si who fell in the snow.
In this world, it is not difficult to make an identical person. Alice thought of the last time she saw Zuo Si, and her blood turned cold little by little.
It turned out that the Red Queen had never given up on Zuo Si as a test subject. All she had done before was to paralyze her. In the end, she took Zuo Si away when she was not paying attention.
Five days have passed, and it will take more than half a month for her to return to the base from here, even if she travels non-stop. Such a long time is enough for the queen to do many things.
Alice opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. She glanced out of the car window inadvertently. She saw the girl who had fallen in the snow slowly get up, patted the snow on her body, and sighed. He hung his head, not knowing what to think.
Her figure overlapped with Zuo Si's figure, Alice took a deep breath and calmed down slowly.
What is wrong with this replica?
Alice opened the car window and yelled at the replica, "Come up."
The duplicate body looked up at Alice, the corners of her mouth hooked up, showing a bright smile, and the next second, she took out a dagger from nowhere and pierced it deeply into her heart.
Blood spurted out, Zuo Si's smile froze on her face, and she fell down straight.
Alice did not expect that she would make such a choice.
Not long after he died, the clone's body turned into a puddle of reddish-brown liquid, which melted into the snow.
Such is the fate of the replica.
It took Alice a month to finally rush back to the New York base, and it was also the coldest time of the year.
She returned to the underground base unimpeded all the way, and the moment she entered the base, it was like entering another world.
Passing through the long silver corridor, Alice didn't meet anyone on the way, and she was rushing day and night, which made Alice look a little haggard, but there seemed to be a raging flame in those green eyes. combustion.
From the moment she entered New York City, the Red Queen knew that Alice had returned. She did nothing but stayed in the laboratory, waiting for Alice's arrival.
There are many laboratories in the underground base in New York, some of which Alice knows, and some of which Alice does not know. The place where the Red Queen is located is known to Alice, in the laboratory where Zuo Si once stayed.
Alice had already arrived at the door of the laboratory. She didn't do anything, and the silver door in front of her slowly opened. In the entire laboratory, except for the Red Queen, there was no one else there.
Alice strode towards the red queen and stood two meters away from her.
"Red Empress, where is Zuo Si?"
The Red Queen pointed to the nearby laboratory and said, "There she is."
Alice didn't check on Zuo Si's situation, she just looked at the Red Queen, and asked in a cold voice, "Red Queen, what exactly do you want to do?"
The Red Queen returned and said, "As you can see, I am protecting human beings."
"Protect humans?"
Alice seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world: "Red Queen, do you mean to protect human beings by locking them up in a laboratory and treating them like guinea pigs?"
"Red Empress, what did you do to Zuo Si? I told you that you are not allowed to deal with Zuo Si in any way. Could your program make you disobey my orders?"
The Red Queen looked at Alice silently. There was no expression on the face that was very similar to Alice. She just looked at Alice like that, and only after a long time did she speak. What she asked was another person who had no connection with the previous one. question.
"Alice, what is a human being?"
Alice was stunned. She looked at the red queen and frowned.
"What do you mean?"
The Red Queen ignored Alice, and said to herself: "Humans are advanced animals evolved from apes. Their wisdom surpasses many creatures. Although their bodies are fragile, they have become the masters of this world with their wisdom. "
"Alice, what is your definition of human beings? It is exactly the same as human DNA, body structure, and appearance. Does it belong to human beings, or do they only evolve naturally and be born from the mother's body to be human?"
Alice vaguely felt that something was wrong. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the red queen.
"Do replicas count as humans?"
Alice replied subconsciously, "Of course not."
The Red Queen raised her head and looked directly at Alice. There was no emotion in those cold, inorganic eyes.
"It's a pity, Alice, if the clones are not human beings, there probably won't be any human beings left in this world."
Alice froze there completely as if struck by lightning.
"What did you say?!"
"If the clones are not human beings, the human race is already extinct."
