I heard I'm an NPC

"From what standpoint are you asking me the question?"

Jing Chi looked at him expressionlessly.His eyes were dull, but he stared straight at No. 72 not far away with incomparable precision.

No. 72 froze for a moment, then smiled again. "I didn't expect you to be so sharp."

Jing Chi was silent.

No. 72 said: "Let's get to know each other again, I am No. 72, a rescue weapon of a different designer from yours."

Numbers 1 to 9 almost completely engraved the data of Jingchi, and then carried out detailed improvements.From now until the 30th, it is still perfect on this basis.

But not in the future.

The harshness of the game environment, the complete loss of contact with No. 0, and the weaknesses shown by No. 1 to No. 30 all made the rescue operation have little effect.

So after the 30th, a new professional team was sent from above.The team only kept the shape of Jing Chi for the follow-up rescue weapons, and redesigned and arranged everything else.

These new rescue weapons are naturally better than those before the 30th, and they became more and more perfect as they went on, until the 72nd, they created the most perfect work.

"In addition to being a rescue weapon, I am also the connection medium between the outside world and here."

Like all NPCs, No. 72 is alive.But he is different from all NPCs, his thoughts contain external manipulators.

He is the incarnation of an outsider human being or group here.

Jing Chi's intuition was right, even terrifyingly accurate.He was not talking to a number 72 in front of him, but talking to an unknown number of human beings from the outside world.

For outsiders, he was originally a failure, but now he has started to do his job for no reason, and has been vaccinated against rare and precious props. Isn't it just that people want to peel it off and study it?

And the companions around him are not ordinary, which makes people even more curious.

Number 72 asked, "Now, can we continue talking?"

Jing Chi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Before that, I also want to ask a question."

Number 72: "You ask."

He thought that what Jing Chi wanted to ask was about Zha Shile and Wei Mu.But unfortunately, he didn't find any trace of the second person at the scene.

And judging from the data he just read, he found that the place where Jing Chi was fighting was not the same area at all.

However, Jing Chi asked: "I have a companion who is dying. I just went back not long ago. Is she rescued now?"

No. 72 paused and asked, "What's her name?"

Jing Chi: "Gu Qinghe."

No. 72 repeated it in a low voice, and then fell silent.This silence was weird, and Jing Chi suddenly regretted mentioning her.

After a while, No. 72 said, "Don't worry, we will do our best to rescue her."

—not out of danger yet.

But Jing Chi suddenly asked again: "How did you determine her identity?"

He asked bluntly and coldly.How did they determine the identity of a dying person?

However, No. 72 didn't seem to want to continue this topic: "This is a matter of the medical system, let's continue to discuss the current issue. You may not be clear, we are already in Beichun City."

Although Jing Chi still had some concerns, he didn't delve too deeply into it.

North Spring City is the most densely populated city, and new survivors are still pouring in.Among these survivors are aboriginal NPCs, and there are also many humans who came in from outside.

At the same time, there are countless NPCs and humans transformed into 'new humans'.Among them, it is divided into death by infection and infection after death.

It can be said to be quite complicated.

And the task of these rescue weapons is to find all the untransformed humans from the outside world in Beichun City and let them evacuate safely.

After a moment of silence, Jing Chi asked, "What about those who have already been transformed?"

No. 72 has no way to give an answer.

"The evacuation channel will consciously identify the identity of the passerby. Our task is actually very simple."

Then he said: "Considering the current complicated situation, we are conducting research discussions. Now, we need to send all the remaining survivors back to avoid more tragedies."

Jing Chi nodded: "Do you still have armor?"

No. 72: "What do you need armor for? You don't need armor anymore."

Since he was vaccinated, it has been impossible to get infected easily.Now the self-healing function and defense mechanism in his body have been activated, coupled with the vaccine, he can definitely be regarded as the most virus-resistant existence in the entire game.

Jing Chi nodded and silently added some water.

I don't know if it has something to do with No. 72. After being spied on by him, although Jing Chi still hasn't recovered his naked eyesight, the data extending from his mind has a subtle connection with the surroundings.

Jing Chi can feel the ubiquitous data.

——Food is data, water is data, number 72 is data, everything is data.

And what he has to do is to search for those freshwater fish lost in this ocean of data.

This is the most difficult task.

But the upper limit of Jingchi is very high, even higher than the 72 that the designer is most satisfied with.His designer envisioned various possibilities, and left a string of codes in his body, which became countless inconspicuous branches in Jingchi's body, and branches within branches.

When replicating numbers 1 to 9, those people streamlined and strengthened them in order to make them more suitable for design purposes.So even though numbers 1 to 9 are the most similar to Jing Chi, there is still a huge gap.

Just like a tree, Jing Chi is the one that grows wildly without any pruning. There are too many branches, but each branch cannot grow well.

Others have been pruned to have a main stem and strong, strong branches.

I don't know if it was because of this, when Jing Chi left the hiding place, he only dropped a small knife.

——From No. 72's explanation, he learned that every rescue weapon will encounter such a test when it leaves the hiding place, which is the standard used by the system to test whether they are qualified.

The system is fully intelligent and will simulate opponents of different strengths according to the opponent.Everyone's equipment was obtained by defeating this opponent, and so did Jing Chi.It's just that compared with everyone else, the equipment he dropped is really crappy.

"..."

Shabby as hell.

No. 72: "In fact, there are many who failed the test and returned to the factory for reset."

Jing Chi: "..."

I was not comforted, thank you.

There are a large number of rescue weapons distributed in every winter city, but the rescue weapons that came here before have been wiped out.

While searching for survivors, the two of them also retrieved the data of those rescuers, and Jing Chi picked up some usable equipment.Then, they separated completely.

At night, he witnessed the whole process of a group of survivors consisting of NPCs and humans colliding with the 'new humans'.Jing Chi opened the tunnel and sent the surviving humans back to the present world, and those NPCs fell into a short coma.

Soon, the comatose surviving NPCs and 'new humans' woke up one after another and fell into the battle again.The surviving NPCs without a lot of help gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the "new humans" had only one purpose - to infect everyone with the virus and transform them into the same race as themselves.

Jing Chi opened the channel again and solved most of the 'new humans' for them.

But this also made him understand that it is impossible for the game to return to the original balance. As the surviving humans continue to leave, the balance will shift more and more towards the "new humans", until they are no longer opponents at all.

Humans have a home to return to, but what about NPCs?

Could it be that the only way for them to go is to be transformed?

Jing Chi is already very proficient. Along the way, he not only sent the surviving humans to evacuate, but also helped the surviving NPCs escape the attack of the 'new humans'.And escorted them to the designated area according to the instructions of No. 72.

This also makes the remaining unexplored areas of Beichun City more and more dangerous.

Sometimes he would think of Zha Shile and Wei Mu, and even himself was temporarily blinded by the attack on the data core, what would Zha Shile become?

And where did Wei Mu, who disappeared, get taken by that 'new human'?

On the seventh day in Beichun City, Jing Chi finally regained his eyesight and no longer had to rely on data.Only then did he discover that those 'new humans' who had been infected and transformed had risen to another level, just like the 'new humans' who had undergone data fusion that he met outside Beichun City. There is no distinction among human beings.

This also seems to mean that those who come from outside are completely digitized.

He knew that No. 72 should have discovered it too, but he still told him about it.

No. 72 said: "I have conveyed it to the above. If possible, I also hope that the restrictions on the evacuation channel will be relaxed."

Send the infected, transforming, but superficial blue 'new humans' home and find a way to rescue them.

But that seems like a tough decision to pass.

On the eighth day in Beichun City, Jing Chi encountered an enemy that the passage could not solve.

The other party is not a person, but a team that transforms together.

In addition, they also have supernatural powers.

The ice surface gradually crumbled, Jing Chi broke away with all his strength, and finally turned around and ran away.

——As long as this one knows how to use ice, he can't easily take it down.

After cooling down in the winter city, the ice-type abilities are almost at the top of the food chain.

And his companion didn't even make a shot.

Compared with other rescue weapons, Jing Chi has a natural disadvantage - he has no detection means, which makes him like a headless fly in the perilous Beichun City.No matter where you run, you always put yourself in crisis.

The advantage of the other party is that they are very united.

As long as one person discovers Jing Chi, it means that everyone knows his coordinates.He could only keep moving and hiding, and it became increasingly impossible for him to be their opponent.

At night, the lights are brightly lit, and even the thick fog is penetrated.

Jing Chi clutched his wound and hid in the darkness behind a small courtyard. The sound of the chase was a little far away, and the lights could not illuminate the corner formed by the high walls and debris, forming two distinct worlds.

At this time, a cat hid behind the water weng not far in front of him like a hunter, staring at him for a moment with its round eyes.
