When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

Zhang Luotuo stumbled off the spaceship. He felt like a person returning from space in an old TV series. The gravity made him feel like lead. All the strength in his body was accumulated on the soles of his feet, and he had to stop for a while before he could take the next step.Maybe it's because the effects of the potion haven't completely worn off.His hand clumsily clung to the hatch, and it took him a while to move.It took him 10 minutes to walk from the dock to the gate of the cemetery.During this period, the taste of electricity occasionally floated into the tip of his tongue, and the residual tingling sensation still lingered on his body.It feels a bit like recovering in a hospital.He tried his best to breathe and control his steps. Slowly, his steps became steady. When he reached the gate of Feishan Cemetery, except for his dizziness, he was already acting like a normal person.

He walked up the stairs step by step. When he was three steps away from the entrance of the cemetery, he saw Joad. Joad was standing at the door, looking at the electronic nameplate at the door nonchalantly, as if he knew a lot about the history of the cemetery. Zhang Luotuo is not interested, but Zhang Luotuo is familiar with him, and he can see the anxiety in his eyes at a glance.

Zhang Luotuo walked over, his footsteps fell on the ground, and Qiao De raised his head at the same time.Their eyes met.

Zhang Luotuo's breathing became heavy for a moment.

Their eyes circled each other's body, and then hid.Zhang Luotuo pretended to walk over calmly, and stopped next to Qiao De. They looked at the nameplate on the wall together. On it was the words introducing Feishan Cemetery: The soul sleeps here.Zhang Luotuo glanced at the flickering text, which meant nothing to him.

"How are you?" he whispered, glancing at Joad.Joad didn't seem to be injured, and the outermost jacket was as clean as when he went out, but there was some black paint on his hair, and Zhang Luotuo smelled a strong rubber smell.

"It's going well." Joad said cautiously, not letting others hear their conversation.His words came out from the gap between his lips, calmly, "The four-kilometer people have caused chaos in the company, they are scurrying around on various floors, there are security guards and employees everywhere, and several robots in the restaurant have been smashed. I pressed the siren and notified Mars, and they immediately cut off the internet to prevent the news from getting out. I took advantage of the chaos and escaped, this—"

Pointing to the sticky liquid on his hair, he said coldly: "I met a four-kilometer man in the corridor, and he splashed paint on me, but I just got into the elevator and only got a little bit of it."

He paused, lowered his head, it seemed that the above words were all his planned greetings, and now the true meaning came out from the melting ice: "You came twelve minutes later than planned." He said bluntly, worried The implication is obvious, "What happened?"

Zhang Luotuo wanted to pass by, but Joad grasped the sore spot with ease before him: "You feel insensitive when you move, especially your hands, and your hair is also messy, and there is a burnt smell." Joad stretched out One hand, while no one else saw it, gently grabbed Zhang Luotuo's hand.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Zhang Luotuo sighed: "I met Fan Liu." He didn't look at Qiao De, but stared at the nameplate, as if he was very interested in it.

The nameplate has now changed its content, with a detailed picture of the cemetery drawn across it. "Established in the first part of the twentieth century..." He didn't finish reading it.

"What do you mean?" Joad asked, he was stunned, and immediately, his voice sounded calmly again, "How did he treat you?"

Zhang Luotuo shook his head: "Don't worry, it's nothing." Qiao De and Fan Liu had a good relationship, he knew it.He didn't want Joad to know what happened, it would only scare him, it didn't make sense.

Joad stared at it for a while, and seemed to understand that he would not answer, so he changed the subject nonchalantly and said, "Does Mars know about our plan?"

Zhang Luotuo shook his head again. He didn't know how to say what Fan Liu said on the spaceship. It seemed that it had been a long time ago. Those words drifted through his mind indistinctly, and were carried away by the electric current.Mars, Fan Liu, Imitation Man.Fan Liu didn't come to stop them, but to stop him.

"It's a long story..." he said wearily, "I'll tell you later."

He pointed to the watch, and Joad understood.Ten twenty.Their time is running out.

They walked into the cemetery, which was soaked in a sad smell. Zhang Luotuo could smell it, and the smell was very damp.Standing by each crystal coffin, watching the dead, he had been part of their circle of relations.But once Zhang Luotuo realized that the person lying down was actually an imitation, he felt very surprised. The imitation did not die, and what they greeted was scrapping, but now the group of imitators gathered together to mourn for each other.

They walked through Area A and then to Area B, where Asuka said he was waiting for them. There are also a lot of people in Area B. They are densely packed together, like shadows beside the crystals. Advertisements flash on the walls: "Sorrow Stoppers", "Imitation Humans That Can Comfort".

"You guys are finally here..." Asuka's voice sounded from behind them in Area B, he sprang out from the crowd and said through gritted teeth, speaking fast, "I almost thought you were kidding me. Thinking about what you gave me So much money, I decided to wait a little longer."

"Sorry, there was a delay on the way." Zhang Luotuo turned his head away and replied in a low voice with his mouth.Asuka wore a mask, sunglasses and, as usual, a crumpled sweatshirt with a certain brand on it.They looked at each other, then walked towards the toilet at the same time as if nothing had happened.Joad continued to pass through the crowd and walked inward. He wanted to go to the D area first and use the gun to deal with the administrator.

Zhang Luotuo handed the chip to Asuka in the toilet cubicle.It was placed in his trouser pocket, already a little hot, and the thin chip fell gently into Asuka's hand.

"This is related to our fate." Asuka lifted it up and said softly to the light above his head.

Area D.Zhang Luotuo walked in.He still felt a little shaky when he stepped in here.Tens of thousands of crystal cubes flickered strangely in front of him, but contrary to other areas, there was no one there, and no one cared about them, because this was undoubtedly the area of ​​the homeless.Zhang Luotuo waited blankly for a while, and Qiao De came out from a corner, holding the key of the management room in his hand.

"It's done quickly." Joad said to them, shaking the tiny key in his hand, "I said I wanted to discuss something with him. Eleven Company is going to put an advertisement in District D, and then I showed him my Eleven Company He didn't know what happened at Eleven because the internet was down. He was a little surprised, but he agreed right away, I guess because D District is rarely seen as a mecca for advertising. I called him Got there." He pointed to the corner he just came out of, which was almost invisible, "and then anesthetized him while he was turning around. He fell asleep in a second and would wake up five hours later , we're done by then."

There was no change in the management room, just like the last time they came here.Asuka casually looked at the monitor above, and inserted a chip.

"Actually, don't worry, the network has been disconnected, and the data cannot be transmitted, but it's better to be careful, this is the philosophy of hackers." He explained, watching the lights of the monitor suddenly become strange, and then patted it on another The monitoring display screen on one side shows the real-time monitoring of people in Area D.Then he walked over to the computer and glanced at the drab blue screen, full of outdated games.

He blew a whistle.

"This computer is very cool." He said appreciatively, kicking the various data cables that were entwined by the connectors, typing on the keyboard, calling up some programs, as if trying to test something, "The firewall can also be set up It's very high, the equipment is very strong, stronger than I imagined, and it seems to be much thicker than the data you brought back last time. If you can't deal with it with viruses alone, it may fail, and I need to debug it at the same time. I'll crack it first, and Zhang Luotuo will insert the virus." He put the chip on the table, seemed to be very interested, and began to move his hands on the keyboard.

Zhang Luotuo inserted the chip into the data port.He couldn't see what Asuka saw, he could only hear the connection between the computer and the chip, as if entering the same orbit.The virus was being transported, and he seemed to be able to hear the invisible virus turning into a glacier, slowly freezing the entire land, and the firewall was like a violent wave, blocking its invasion, but its root had already begun to rot.He stood up and watched the blue computer flickering peacefully, Asuka's hands were typing on the keyboard as if flying, and countless windows popped up one after another.He undressed the program layer by layer.

"After I crack it, the city's electricity will stop shutting down. If you want to be more ruthless, you can destroy it directly after the program is closed." Asuka said suddenly, raising his head from the dull pile of data.Zhang Luotuo looked at him suspiciously, Asuka raised a hand and pointed to the iron cabinet on the wall, where the data lines ended up, and they got into it.

"The computer is connected to the data cable, and the data cable is connected to it. If I guess correctly, it is probably the power supply inside, which is responsible for supplying the computer. The program of this computer is huge, and the power consumption is estimated to be hundreds of times higher than other machines. Be sure to use a special power supply." Asuka saw his confusion and explained, "Cutting the data cable will bring unexpected surprises."

"Did the program stop running?" Zhang Luotuo asked curiously.

"No, if you cut the data cable before cracking the program, you can only stop the computer, but the program is still running. After you get this computer, you can do something bad and destroy it. This will prolong the power maintenance twice. Time." Asuka explained to him eloquently, then turned around, and was overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of a bunch of programs, "...Okay, I have to concentrate, otherwise I will immediately die under the curse of the firewall .”

Joad, who was standing in front of the monitoring screen, raised his eyebrows after listening to Asuka's words, and he walked forward solemnly, approaching the iron cabinet, his expression was very curious, as if he was playing a prank.Zhang Luotuo couldn't help smiling, and leaned over.

power supply.He wanted to see what the life provider of this monster computer was like.Two small circular gaps in the iron cabinet let in light, vaguely illuminating the contents inside, but the outlines were blurred by large shadows.Joad carefully took out a miniature flashlight from his pocket and searched for the contents.

Zhang Luotuo stepped forward amidst the interlacing sounds of Asuka's mouse and keyboard, blinked his eyes, and looked inside.

There's something flickering in there.Unlike what he imagined, it was not a giant battery or a heavy wire, but three small blue crystals strung together horizontally. They were all square, with a small white dot in the middle. Their bottoms entered, making a sizzling electrical sound.

Zhang Luotuo felt that this thing looked familiar, and he thought he had seen it somewhere.

In the holographic image, the needle on the operating table was stretched towards the forehead of the man and woman who thought they were going home, and the square blue crystal was taken out from there, still stained with pale pink blood, and the small white dot in the middle was extremely eye-catching.

He remembered, and he immediately looked up at Joad.He could see in Joad's look that he remembered, too.

And the crystal that was taken out is now in front of their eyes.It is used to power the supercomputer in front of us, and the computer operates to control the electricity of the whole Chongqing.

The management department is not only unable to return to Mars.Every inch of their body is to be used by Mars.

After they die, they have to serve as a harmless nutrient solution.

Zhang Luotuo had an impulse. Before he could speak rationally, he wanted to hug Joad tightly.

"Someone." But Joad didn't give him this chance. He looked at the monitoring screen and said anxiously, as if he didn't take what he saw at all.

Zhang Luotuo looked in his direction.He didn't understand what "someone" meant at first. Area D was as calm as before, with tens of thousands of undead faces facing the camera, blurred.But then he noticed one person, Joad's thumb following the screen.It was a person who was sprinting. She quickly shuttled between the boxes without looking sideways. She was not interested in any undead. She walked straight in the corridor and walked towards the monitoring room of Area D.

"Zhao Yi?" Zhang Luotuo said in surprise.

"Is someone here to stop us? Fuck." Asuka raised his head, he stopped typing on the keyboard, sniffed uneasily, and tried to probe the door, he was always sensitive to such things, "I don't want to be caught, although I want Money." He muttered.The screen of the computer was already black, with green letters and numbers jumping on it. He was obviously still laying out his sophisticated plan to fight the firewall to the end.Zhang Luotuo could hear the sound of the virus attacking like ice.

"I'll stop it." Joad stood up and straightened his clothes.

Zhang Luotuo left the wall against which he was leaning, and quickly followed him: "I'm going too." He declared, and glanced at the surveillance video, Zhao Yi was getting closer and closer, it seemed that she came here alone, but not Know if there are pitfalls, such as R-63, "How much time do you need?"

Asuka compared a number to them, his voice was a little trembling, he was a little allergic to actual combat in a place other than Kai's home: "25 minutes."

Zhang Luotuo caught up with Qiao De, without looking at his expression, he held his finger.Joad's hands were as cold as ever.Joad shook his hand back gently, slowing his pace.They walked to the door of the monitoring room.Zhang Luotuo said softly: "That's nothing, we will go out by ourselves, without relying on anyone, no one can stop us."

He wanted to say forget the crystals, forget about killing, he was afraid that Jod would be sad, Jod had believed for a long time that he could go back to Mars, that almost became his belief, even if the belief disappeared later, he just thought that Mars abandoned them, and It's not that they were prepared to use them to the end.

"I'm fine." Joad replied, looking into Zhang Luotuo's eyes, and gently leaned over to touch Zhang Luotuo's forehead.Obviously, he knew what Zhang Luotuo was talking about, and he also saw the crystal that supplied the power, which originally grew in their brains.But he didn't hate, and even held an indifferent attitude, as if it had nothing to do with him, or in other words, he had already recognized something.

His tone was calm and almost gentle: "Let's go." He stretched out a hand, beckoning Zhang Luotuo to give it to him, and they walked out together.

Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath, and he gently put his hand into Joad's palm.

Qiao De glanced back, then turned the doorknob of the monitoring room, and the sound of Zhao Yi's high-heeled shoes came from the crack of the door.

They went out, and Joad put his back against the door and closed it nonchalantly.The sound of Asuka tapping on the keyboard faded behind and disappeared.

Their hands are still clenched.

Qiao De and Zhang Luotuo walked in the corridor for more than ten meters.Zhang Luotuo squinted his eyes, he could see the person standing opposite him clearly.

The sound of high heels stepping on the white marble floor slowed down, then became slower and slower like a train entering a station, and gradually disappeared, apparently the oncoming people also saw them.

Zhao Yi stopped.

"Jode, you are here with that robot." Panting, she said with an angry and pale expression, as if she had just rushed over from somewhere, "I didn't feel right when I was in the company, there were killers and rebels everywhere, You disappeared for no reason, I asked them to search all over the building, but they still couldn't find you."

Together with Zhang Luotuo, Qiao De blocked her way with their bodies, and they tried their best to keep Zhao Yi from noticing the closed door.

"How do you know I'm here?" Joad said tentatively.The siren cut off the network, and all the data systems collapsed. The monitoring from various places should not be able to be transmitted to Eleven Company in real time.

Zhao Yi shook her head, her nose ring flickered, she raised her hand, vaguely covering up the topic: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world."

A shadow suddenly flashed in Zhang Luotuo's mind, and he unconsciously asked, "Is it Fan Liu?"

Zhao Yi glanced at him arrogantly, but did not refute, Zhang Luotuo knew he was right.

"What did he say? Did he ask you to arrest me?" Zhang Luotuo pursued, trying to hide Qiao De behind his back.

Zhao Yi avoided his gaze, as if he was the cheap and unreal scenery background in the studio: "Yes...Fan Liu called me and said that you are here and let me arrest you, saying that you have committed crimes. He is doing something that undermines the safety of the city, and he told me not to accidentally injure Qiaode, he is also here to arrest you just like me." She said weakly, obviously speaking to Zhang Luotuo , "But I knew it couldn't be like that as soon as I heard it. I agreed to him on the surface and didn't refute it. He may think that I don't know, but I know very well, how could Joad arrest you, he has covered up before this You have been there many times... Now that I am here, it really is like that..."

She suddenly raised the gun from under the windbreaker and faced the two of them.Zhang Luotuo recognized the gun. He had suffered from it in Joad's office when the bullet from the hole in the gun went into the chair behind him.Zhao Yigao raised her head high, her breathing was very heavy, Zhang Luotuo could hear the voice coming out of her nasal cavity.

"I don't know what the hell you're up to, and I'm not interested in knowing. But now you come with me," she said to Joad, "Now, come back with me, back to Eleven, and I can pretend nothing happened .”

The muzzle lingered at Joad's temple.

"No." Joad said calmly, he blocked Zhang Camel with his body calmly.

Zhao Ding looked at him intently, her brown eyes unblinking.Her gun trembled slightly with trembling hands.She shook her head slightly, as if caught up in a losing war: "You didn't even realize what you said," she said wearily.Zhang Luotuo thought for a moment that she would shoot, rush forward, or kill them both, but Zhao Yi didn't.

"You don't even know what choice you made." Zhao Yi said.

"I know." Joad answered her calmly, "You have been with me for so long, you know what kind of person I am."

"I used to think I understood." Zhao Yi interrupted him, pointing the gun at his heart, "When I was on Mars, but now I'm at a loss."

"You can kill me if you want, but let him go. Or let us go out, you can't stop me, let me die, or get free." Joad answered her coldly.

Zhao started to tremble, and she shivered as if afraid of the cold: "You don't understand what we are facing." She raised her head, "Obviously you will be able to return to Mars in another year and a half, and get real freedom, but you just want to be a fugitive and escape early."

Joad shook his head: "You don't understand the situation." They couldn't get back to Mars.Even if Zhao Yi said this sentence, she would think it was ridiculous. She had always been a staunch supporter of Huo Huo.

"It's you who don't understand the situation!" Zhao Yi interrupted him abruptly, and said loudly, "You don't know what you're facing—or you just think that what you know is the truth!"

Qiao De was stunned for a second, Zhao Yi was completely different from usual, she was trembling, and the gun in her hand was also trembling, as if she was about to go off at any time.

"I'll tell you the truth," she whispered, very tired.
