Once the encounter took place, it began one after another, and in the remote neighborhood of the port capital, beside the foggy lake in the city, the occasional gunfire rang out, which instantly lit up the night sky, and then ended quietly again.
This is a battle between individuals and the Federation, if it weren't for the fact that he had the Federation's central computer radiating brilliance behind him, no matter how powerful Xu Le was, he would only be crushed into countless pieces by the powerful political axe machine.
In this autumn's continuous silent battle, even with the help of the old thing, he still encountered many dangers, and was almost successfully hunted by the other party on several occasions.
The special department named Little Eye efficiently commanded countless military and police, and gradually played an increasingly powerful role in the battle, sometimes blue and sometimes gray sky, autumn ground, dark and damp underground, a large net with crowd tactics and intensive monitoring as the skeleton has been laid, and it has begun to gradually tighten, and will bind the seemingly powerful and invincible Xu Le in the center of the net.
A violent cough sounded in the dark underground passage, and the sound squeezed out of the injured lung was forcefully suppressed, but it forcibly burst through the throat, vibrating the dry vocal cords, and making a hoarse and unpleasant sound.
Carrying the wet wall on his back, Xu Le spread his legs and sat on the ground tired and relaxed, the H14 sniper in his arms was not so cold because of several layers of coarse cloth tied to the surface, and the military thorn tied to his calf was obviously deformed, which should have been damaged in the fierce battle.
His lips were extremely unhealthy gray and dry, and because of the violent coughing, the Sanqi brand cigarette between his lips trembled up and down with great amplitude, mixed with the spark soot peeling off, flying in the dark space in front of him, like tiny fireflies.
Xu Le squinted his eyes at the domestic sewage that was rushing not far ahead, smelled a strong fishy smell, subconsciously frowned, took off the cigarette roll between his lips, and touched a clammy and sticky thing with his fingers, only to know that the smell was bloody.
After many days of fierce fighting and high-intensity escape, Xu Le's old injuries showed no signs of improvement, and the political axe controlled the supply of medicine in the city with crazy massive resources regardless of the cost, and he even added some extremely serious new injuries in order to obtain medicine.
These days, even food and energy replenishment have begun to become difficult, and as for the ammunition that has been consumed in large quantities during the battle, there is no replenishment except for some standard caliber bullets that were fortunately found from the unconscious soldiers on the shores of Mochou Lake, and the so-called exhaustion of ammunition and food seems to have become a real and miserable picture not far ahead.
No matter from which angle you analyze it, Xu Le has now been forced into a desperate situation, and there are only two paths in front of him, either don't risk breaking through the outposts on the outskirts of the city and move to a wider world, or don't risk going up to the ground to carry out the most violent assault in order to change the current situation.
But he didn't choose any path, there was not the slightest despair on that ordinary face, not even the feeling of loss brought by frustration, he was still so calm and determined, even on the verge of extreme exhaustion and pain, mental and physical collapse, he was still in the mood to chat.
"The textbook says that because of the Great Catastrophe, all the materials of the previous civilization can no longer be found, so people only know that there was such a civilization, but they do not know what that civilization was like.
Actually, I've always wondered if human beings weren't born in S1, then where is the real home."
Xu Le wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, gently pounded his chest to relieve the severe pain in his lungs, leaned against the wall and squinted his eyes and asked: "If everything is ruined, then how did you survive all these years of getting along, I know that your ability is more remarkable than the federal people imagined, do you have any good stories to tell about these?"
There was silence in the quiet, clammy underground waterway, and I don't know how long it took, the voice of the federal central computer rang out, there were no mood fluctuations in the voice, calm and mechanically cold.
"The pre-Holocaust information was top secret, and your clearance level was insufficient.
In addition, according to the core instructions and the calculations I have repeated countless times, even if I know more details about the civilization before the Catastrophe, it will not be helpful to the current human society. ” "I just thought I might be dying soon, so even though I was only in my twenties, I suddenly felt that these endless underground sewers were full of vicissitudes, so I wanted to hear an old story with a lot of vicissitudes."
Xu Le smiled tiredly, leaned against the wall and gently stroked the rough cloth appearance of the sniper rifle from top to top, and said: "Although your life is incomparably long, I am the first guy in your life who can communicate directly, and now I may burp at any time, and you will fall into eternal loneliness again, I suggest that you should cherish the opportunity to chat with me." ” The old thing was silent for a long time, probably a little tempted by Xu Le's words, if it had a heart, there was inexplicably more emotion in the cold voice of the machine: "I told you before that the five-person team left a backdoor in my core program, and the back of your neck replaced the information fragment data in the chip, activating my backdoor, so I will send you a request to take the initiative to contact you." ” "What does this have to do with that old story of vicissitudes" Xu Le pinched the cigarette roll with three fingers and put it into his mouth, took a puff beautifully, and asked not very seriously, although many people thought that he was the most talented engineer in the Federation, but he seriously lacked academic education background, and he really didn't seem to care much about this answer that many scholars would definitely care about very much.
"That fragment of information is very similar to my core programming, in other words, we should come from the same source."
"You've said this before."
Xu Le pressed the cigarette butt into the brick crack beside him and said, "I went to the empire to help you find the answer, but I'm very sorry I didn't find it, they don't have the mechanical intelligence like you at all." ” "Looking into the starry sky, the source should be there, what I don't understand now is that the fragment of information with the same source as me is obviously of a higher level than mine, why did it appear in the Empire, as you said, the Empire is still in such a primitive period of ignorance in terms of mechanical intelligence."
"Where is it high?"
asked Xu Le.
"You can understand that the IQ is higher."
The old thing was silent for a moment and then explained, "The story of the vicissitudes of life before the catastrophe that you want to know should be related to the fragment of information in the chip on the back of your neck, as for the part I know" Xu Le said: "Although my ears have not been washed, I am listening carefully. ” "It's actually a very simple story."
The old thing said calmly: "The previous civilization created by mankind was destroyed in a cataclysm, which is what we now call the Great Catastrophe, and the team of five escaped in a spaceship and went through a long interstellar journey to come to the planet where you are now. ” "The current federal society is the descendants of the fugitive passengers carried on the spaceship, I am the star map computing computer of the spaceship, the spaceship disintegrated after landing on S1, and I was transformed into the current appearance The story of reasoning is as simple as that" Xu Le frowned, and said in a low voice: "What kind of disaster is that, it can actually destroy a generation of civilization." ” "Any story can be summed up in a very simple context, which you generally call an outline.
As for the complete way of telling, of course, there are a lot of intricate details that can be provided, but you often call it invalid content stuffing, which is generally referred to as flooding on the Internet.
If you really want to hear a complicated story of vicissitudes, I suggest you treat your injuries right away and leave the city. ” "Got it, I'll do it right away."
Xu Le used the sniper rifle as a crutch to borrow strength, and stood up with difficulty against the wall, which was such a simple action, but also affected the wounds on his body that were flooded, causing endless pain.
In the dark underground waterway, the federal central computer clearly observed his movements in some way, analyzed his injuries and the speed of life flowing, and said: "Sometimes it is really difficult for me to understand many human behavior patterns, such as you now, why you are facing such a high probability of death, but you can't see any fear in the physiological data and brainwave analysis, you must know that life's fear of death comes from instinct and cannot be removed." ” "It's impossible for a near-immortal guy like you to understand what we short-lived monkeys think.
There are no people who are not afraid of death, but human beings are good at forgetting or camouflaging, and they can easily embark on a journey without thinking about the destination. ” Xu Le picked up the heavy firearm, slowly walked towards the depths of the underground waterway, and explained with a smile: "And there is really nothing to be afraid of, I never thought that I would be able to go back alive when I was born." ” Because of this resounding sentence, the dark underground passage suddenly froze, and after a long time, the old thing said calmly: "It is true that no one can leave this world alive, and your cold joke is very funny." ” Hearing the answer that was out of logical judgment, Xu Le smiled bitterly, and said with emotion: "Such a violent word is understood as a cold joke, you are really a boring guy, you didn't get the expected bloody response, I am very disappointed, master." ” The low, almost inaudible sound of footsteps faded away, and the back of the man who had struggled to move forward was slowly engulfed in darkness, and with the old thing without a back, he walked deeper into the dark underground waterways, occasionally faintly reverberating a few words of conversation.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't worry about dying at all with you by my side, just like on the planet of the Empire, the sky is full of missiles, and you will definitely ride a black triplane to break through the clouds to pick me up."
"But have you ever experienced my painful psychological struggles, the pain of core program conflicts, no less than the pain you are suffering now.
And I had a vague sense that something very bad was going on, and it was very stressful, and I even named myself Philip in order to soothe the emotional reactions in this core program. ” "Philip sounds good, I'll call you that from now on, but is there any interesting connotation in your choice of this name, oh, I forgot, although you have a lot of substance, you have never been a funny guy."
"Philip is a famous person in the pre-Holocaust history books, and legend has it that he was on the edge of offside all his life, and some even say that he lived on the offside line, which is very similar to my current situation."
