(Thanks to the leader Mr. Leng for the reward of 12345. Thank you for your support and recognition.)
The words that emerged in my consciousness were just like the Eye of Prell.
Bai Wu knew that the matter must be very important, but he still couldn't help but tease:
"This thing can actually reach my consciousness directly... So I guess, even if I have the negative attribute of aphasia, you can still understand me?"
Yes.
Bai Wu could even feel that Zero probably had an indifferent expression on his face at this moment.
But he also knew that mechanical life was like this, they were more restrained in expressing their emotions.
But he soon realized something was wrong:
"Hiss, so even though you said that you have cut off the data connection with this Apostle and it belongs exclusively to me, as long as you want, you can control my every move at any time through the Apostle? Eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating?"
has a problem
Far away in the Mechanical Temple of the Mechanical City, Zero's expression and tone were both matter-of-fact.
It seemed as if it was natural for Bai Wu to be monitored by him.
“I’m a very private person.”
so
"This thing actually directly connects to my nerves, which is a backup plan to turn me into a mechanical person? So you really are not giving up. Fortunately, I can't get angry, otherwise I would be cursing right now."
There is a price to pay in exchange for power. You have to admit that the benefits you get are greater than the price you pay. This is a good deal for you.
Zero paused for a second after he finished speaking, and said with disdain:
As for privacy. Since I was nine years old, all the people in this world who rely on digital products have no privacy for me. Privacy is just a newspaper stacked in the database and can be checked at any time. It is only up to me whether I want to read it or not, and whether I am interested. As the first candidate for the deputy city lord of the mechanical city, I am obliged to keep an eye on you.
"Duty? So I have to thank you? Should I say I'm flattered?"
Bai Wu now understands one thing—
When the leader of the mechanical tribe proposed that you be the second in command, it meant that he had made countless calculations and reached the best conclusion.
This rigid guy might be forced to put this plan on hold temporarily due to circumstances, but he will never give up on it.
I didn't expect that I would be tricked by No. 0.
I just discovered a "peeper" in my apartment not long ago. I didn't expect that the clown was actually myself and that there was a spy around me.
Although this monitor has high moral qualities and does not monitor himself...but who knows if the Apostle will record certain data and tell Zero all at once when forcibly establishing a link
Bai Wu did not feel angry. Of course, even if he did, he couldn't be angry at the moment.
Zero's domineering style doesn't really need to be explained, but he still explained it to Bai Wu:
The Apostle is a weapon I use to try to break the boundary between living and non-living things. You are the first experimental subject. But you must know that before you appeared, I was most likely forced to provide the Apostle to Jingwu for survival and was controlled by Jingwu.
I don't like being controlled by others. The Apostle can let me control all the information of Jing Wu, which is conducive to my plan to turn the tables. You should also know that I can't have no backup plan to deal with Jing Wu. Of course, when I gave it to you, it was no longer so subjective. Now it belongs to you most of the time, and your privacy will not be revealed to me.
"When are those few times?"
When you are in great trouble.
Bai Wu smiled and now had no choice but to accept Zero's domineering gift. The topic also returned to the main track:
"Tell me, what happened that made you jump out of the shadow of the peeper?"
Peeping? That word is a slur against me. I don't need peeping.
"Alright, alright, observer. As your experimental subject, I am now very curious about your purpose in looking for me."
To make a long story short, Jing Liu has been here.
Bai Wu had a rough idea in his mind. It seemed that a catastrophe was really going to happen in Baichuan City. He frowned slightly, thinking that his inner uneasiness was related to the laughter in the distance.
But now it seems... the Joker is nothing compared to the disaster that is about to happen.
The forces you have offended will gather in Baichuan City. There will be many familiar and unfamiliar faces. Their goal is to destroy you and Baichuan City. Time is short. They have already started to act a few days ago. I believe they have gathered and are on their way to attack you. This is where you should rush to be flattered.
"The last sentence... seems to indicate that the person who came here is of great importance?"
Jingwu, and a stronger existence than it. Your shelter is likely to be destroyed. The word "probably" is even a bit conservative.
Bai Wu was startled.
The news brought by Zero was undoubtedly a depth bomb, creating countless ripples in his consciousness.
An existence stronger than Jingwu, and it has to be included in Jingwu
If there was no Zero, all the people in Shudu Prison and the people in the shelter, even if they were all gathered together, would not be a match for Jing Wu alone.
The Demon King on the 51st floor was an existence that he could not challenge at the moment. The chances of winning against one Tic-Tac-Toe level were slim, let alone two
Perhaps it was because the news came too quickly and too suddenly, or perhaps it was because Bai Wu had no negative emotions. Although he realized the seriousness of the problem, his mind was still calm.
"So, the chances of saving my shelter are... almost zero?"
In the distance, a group of people who believed in the shelter were about to arrive, and this trip was to find a place for them to stay.
Now they are suddenly told... that the shelter is gone, because an unprecedentedly powerful enemy will appear, and their lives will be in danger if they stay in the shelter.
Maybe this is nothing... This group of people can be transferred, but what about Gu Hailin
Emotions gradually began to emerge and Bai Wu frowned.
Zero remained silent. After a long while, Bai Wu said:
"What do you think I should do? Evacuate all members of the shelter and hide back in the tower myself? Well... this seems to be the wisest approach at the moment." Bai Wu asked himself and answered.
You are afraid. Zero seemed quite interested.
Because Bai Wu has no fear, but Zero's logic in judging things is different from that of normal people, or it can be said that he has a better solution.
He could sense other messages besides Bai Wu's emotions.
Bai Wu was not scared by the news. He instantly had an idea, but he seemed unwilling to accept it.
"Maybe this is what fear is. I am unwilling, but I am powerless and can only be forced to choose to evacuate. If I had any emotions, I would probably be trembling now."
Bai Wu's self-deprecation made Zero a little unhappy:
You must have experienced a lot of situations where you feel unwilling but powerless, but I think you are essentially a madman. And madmen can often do things that are unexpected.
Crazy? Bai Wu didn't deny it.
"I am indeed crazy at heart. I will do things that even powerful people like the captain dare not do, but it's just my own life. This time is different. There are too many targets in the shelter that cannot be diverted..."
"My mind tells me that I should abandon the shelter and take everyone as far away from Baichuan City as possible, but..."
I recalled the duel in the Food Realm in my mind, and the words I heard in the bloody fog of Food City through the mask -
"We are needed to build the shelter!"
Gu Hailin's words made Bai Wu, who was never very passionate... also feel a little bit of bloodiness.
"This is really frustrating news. I have a few friends. For the sake of shelter, I lied to them and waited for ninety years... Although now I think about it, I seem to have been tricked by Jing Liu. She is familiar with my choices and how I would respond, so I met Gu Hailin and the others..."
"Now that the shelter has been initially built, everyone is working hard to expand it and clear the surrounding areas. Everyone believes that the shelter can be built, and we are all working hard for humans to get out of the tower. I think that at least the shelter has to be of a certain size before it will be noticed by the big forces outside the tower."
Bai Wu obviously talked a lot, and even said things like "complaining" and "getting mad".
"But now it seems... everything is just a pipe dream. If the shelter cannot be built this time... there will be no hope in the future, right? But what can I do against Jingwu?"
"Gu Hailin and his men are definitely unwilling to leave. I can even imagine him shouting at the Survey Corps to charge, and then going to his death with his twenty-four subordinates."
"Since the shelter failed, the captain will most likely consider shifting his focus back to the tower. This is one of the differences between him and me. I believe that although this world has set up many obstacles for humans, it essentially encourages humans to take back this world."
“But if I fail… who will be able to go further than me in the future?”
Bai Wu was not arrogant, and he wanted to be humble, but there was no one in the tower who could do these things or replicate his own experiences.
Zero in the Mechanical Temple listened to Bai Wu's sporadic complaints. Although this man was far away in the shelter, his tone was quite calm.
But Zero knew very well that Bai Wu attached great importance to the shelter, so much so that even though he had the answer and a more sensible solution, he was still very conflicted.
The shelter is indeed something very important to Bai Wu.
Zero said:
Then take your people and retreat, even though I am ready to rescue you. But I also think that your choice not to go crazy is a good plan, at least it can preserve my strength. Without your shelter, you may be more likely to join my mechanical city.
Bai Wu captured the key information:
"You're coming to help me?"
I'm helping you.
"This doesn't seem to be in line with your core mechanical values?"
My essence is life, and I can decide when to be crazy and when to be sane.
The white fog in the dense darkness was indeed surprising.
He believed that Zero gave the notice so that he could retreat, save his life, and preserve the possibility of a future.
But he didn't expect... Zero would put himself in danger to help him.
"I suddenly didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it... Even if you join, it's hard to change anything."
Zero can stop Jingwu, but what about the remaining one
There is a being imprisoned by reincarnation living in the plane. It is impossible for the siblings Jing Si and Jing Liu to come, and Jing Wu is being held back by Zero.
Then it is obvious that the remaining one is either the farmer who was met once in the telephone booth at Well No. 6, or the person who guards the well mentioned by the traveler.
"The big guys showed up too early... These big demons are too cautious. Can you at least let me reach the maximum level? Speaking of which... Friendship is friendship, don't you think it's too reckless for you to come and help me? Our chances of winning are slim."
Bai Wu complained like this, but deep down, because Zero was willing to help, he already had a little desire to fight.
If you choose to retreat back to the tower, I can understand that, but if you ask me whether to fight or retreat, I tend to fight. Not just from your perspective, but from my perspective.
Zero is the only person Bai Wu has met since leaving the tower who thinks about problems more deeply than himself.
Bai Wu pondered over this sentence and said:
"I understand. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
Yes, the Mechanical City has been attacked once. If I didn't help you and let your shelter be destroyed, I would be alone next time. In my calculation, if we join forces, we still have a chance of winning. Otherwise, the destruction of the Mechanical City is only a matter of time. And you also mentioned a very critical point.
Bai Wu and Zero both said the key point at the same time in tacit agreement—
"The big demons came out too early."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Wu reacted instantly.
"I see! It's easy to understand why Jing Wu wants to fight me, but I don't think there is any conflict between me and other members of the Jing family. The people from Huangquan Island definitely don't know the location of the well and the farm! So who is fanning the flames and convincing another Jing-level person to fight a small fry like me? Is it the conceited Jing Wu? It's unrealistic..."
Zero and Bai Wu thought of the same thing again.
Jing Liu is not just an intelligence agent, she has her own purpose. It is very likely that she has used some means to make a monster of the same level as Jing Zi notice you.
"And her purpose... is to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Bai Wu was shocked.
Maybe so.
Under what circumstances would Jing Liu need to use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain and arrange a well-level strongman to come to Baichuan City
A situation has emerged in Bai Wu's mind.
Jingliu moved forward step by step, taking himself through the casino, the telephone city, creating a shelter, winning over more and more partners, and even severely damaging Jingwu in the mechanical city, and learned the secret of the black fog in the black box.
All of this seems to be a gift, but without realizing it, he has packaged himself into a savior.
Now... the savior has attracted the attention of the Tic-Tac-Toe Demon King, and thus, the gift of fate has begun to reveal its price.
While the Demon King was dealing with a small figure like him, Jing Liu went deep into a certain place... and took away some things.
"So, among all the members of the Jing family, the one who has gone crazy is the best for me. The ones who haven't gone crazy are more difficult to deal with than the others. I hate being schemed against, and the other party is an omniscient being, even if her golden finger is about to expire..."
Is Jing Liu a friend? I'm afraid this statement is unreliable.
But is she an enemy? I don't think we can conclude that.
Zero said at this time:
Not every rotten fish or shrimp is worth her cheating, at least you have shown the corresponding value and strength. If it weren't for you, it's hard to say what the mechanical city would be like now. Maybe there is such a possibility that Jing Liu really believes that you can defend the shelter, and from then on, a new force that can stand firm outside the tower will emerge.
But I don’t even believe in myself... Bai Wu smiled bitterly.
Zero urged:
It's time for you to make a decision, fight or retreat
