The fighting strength of the four thousand people is unparalleled, and they are advancing much faster than three years ago.
The time of the main control center is the same as that of the examination room.
At 4:15 in the morning, in just ten minutes, the core protection layer was breached, and the main control center began to be substantially damaged.
But this is just the beginning.
Before everyone could cheer, they heard the rigid voice of the system resounding under the night.
[The main control center detects a substantial danger, the attack and defense programs are automatically activated, and 1,500 firepower points are in place. 】
At that moment, the fire was overwhelming.
More than 4,000 people were almost stunned.
Before that, they had no knowledge of the level of armed equipment of the system. When it comes to the terribleness of the system, I will always think of all kinds of exams and punishments. This was the first time they faced the system's firepower.
Fortunately, You Huo and Qin Research have experience.
They have a very tacit understanding, and they have already divided the work without needing a word—
Qin Jiu surrounded the building with a large group of troops. They precisely walked in the blind spot of firepower and attacked the important position of the main control center from various angles.
You Huo took 922 and a team of invigilators and wedged inside the building.
While bombarding the command area, Gao Qi shouted in the sound of artillery fire: "Isn't the firepower too dense?! 001-"
"Speak." Qin Qiu's voice came from the front. He threw away a broken cannon barrel, and was tilting his head to put the new one on his shoulders.
Gao Qi shouted with a blushing face and a thick neck: "Shouldn't we blow up some of the firepower first?!"
"Not in time."
"When will it be? Are we all cold?!"
Qin Qiu laughed.
While frantically blasting the target, Gao Qi shouted to Zhao Jiatong behind him, "Grass! That lunatic is still laughing!"
Zhao Jiatong couldn't help reminding him: "This should be decided by him and A together?"
Gao Qi stopped protecting his friends now, and shouted, "Two lunatics!"
He cursed like this, but his actions were still very cooperative. After all, Qin Jiu and You Huo have been here before, and he believes that these two will not be planted here again.
At 4:32, the damage degree of the main control center exceeded 20%, the attack and defense procedures were raised to level 2, and the firepower increased to 3,000.
Gao Qi is going crazy.
At 4:55, the degree of damage exceeded 40%, the attack and defense procedures were raised to level 3, and the firepower was increased to 4,500.
Everyone outside the building is going crazy.
The blind spot of attack is getting smaller and smaller, and if it goes on like this, they can't even reach out for counterattack. Even more frightening is that their weapons and ammunition are running out.
And at this time, Qin Jiu actually made everyone stop the fire.
"001—" Gao Qi began to shout again, this time in a real hurry.
Qin Qiu pointed to the top of his head without waiting for him to ask why.
Gao Qi narrowed his eyes, struggling to see through the firelight where he was pointing, that was a row of firepower points that were attacking without interruption.
The moment he looked over, the row of firepower suddenly reversed direction.
Subconsciously, Gao Qi was about to roll sideways to avoid it, but just as he was about to move, he stopped. Because he found that the direction of the row of fire points was strange...
He was stunned for two seconds before realizing it.
At this moment, he finally understood why Qin Jiu had delayed the destruction of the firepower, and finally why You Huo took 922 and them into the building for the first time.
Because the group of people who went in forcibly modified the aiming direction of the fire point, in order to let the system hit itself.
The next moment, 30% of the firepower points of the main control center were artificially modified, the muzzle was temporarily turned, and the remaining 70% of the firepower points were blasted with all their strength.
At that moment, the sound of the explosion became a sound, and the people outside the building had already found a bunker under Qin Jiu's instructions.
Gao Qi squeezed behind Qin Jiu along the bunker, patted him on the shoulder, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Thank you for thinking of this idea, I'll take it."
"I was forced to be helpless, who made the weapons not enough." Qin Zhou said.
Evacuate all the arsenals in the second resting place, which was originally enough to last until the end. Otherwise they wouldn't have acted like this three years ago. But this time, the system is smarter, and an examination room is added outside the main control center, which is destined to consume some ammunition.
In this way, with their weapon reserves alone, being able to last to 60% is the limit.
The system has calculated this stubbornly, so there is nothing to fear.
What it didn't expect was that even if there were not enough weapons, this group of people came in without hesitation.
Because once this road is gone, there is no turning back.
At 5:11, the damage degree of the main control center reached 60%, the attack and defense system was upgraded to level 4, and the firepower was as high as 6,000.
This is a death series, equivalent to a patrol shredder, which can make everyone present disappear cleanly.
However, under the powerful twist of confusing them, 6,000 firepower points attacked each other, causing 4,821 of them to be scrapped on the spot and could no longer be used.
As a result, the attack level is even lower than initially.
Gao Qi and the others were instantly refreshed, waiting for Qin Qiu's order to pick up weapons and start a new round of bombing.
The team of more than 3,000 people is like a steel roller, rolling towards the center with an unstoppable force.
At 5:20, the damage degree of the main control center reached 80%, and 721 firepower points remained.
Inside the building, 922 they slapped the palm hard, and the task assigned to them has been completed. They picked up their sidearms and bowed straight out the door.
Wandering walked at the end, buckled on the one-sided goggles, and lowered his head to tighten the tactical gloves.
He and Qin Research understand this process. When the damage of the main control center reaches 80%, the main control will be converted to semi-automatic and handed over to the so-called "S group".
Three years ago, they failed to make it to this stage.
Three years later, they are fearless.
There are only 20% left, they have enough firepower and enough manpower, and 154 and Chu Yue are guarding outside to cooperate and can deal with any changes.
Just at this moment, it was like a feeling in the dark, and Wandering stopped for a while and looked back.
He was suddenly a little curious as to what program the "S group" that could take over the control was.
After this stop, he could no longer take a step.
Because three figures quietly appeared next to the main console, they were wearing white lab coats and thin rubber gloves, and they were skillfully operating at the main console.
One of them pressed the button, and a white light screen was surrounded by the main console, like a screen that covered it. You Huo and the three of them were surrounded by the "curtain".
Youhu reached out and tried it. Unexpectedly, the moment it touched the "curtain", the front end of the tactical glove was damaged, as if it had been cut off.
This is a circle of defense.
But it wasn't this one who really stopped you, it was the people who suddenly appeared, or more precisely, one of them.
It was a tall and thin woman, her face was always morbidly pale, but she was still beautiful.
Not gorgeous, but sharp and cold beauty.
She has eyes similar to those of Youyou, and she always looks at people with an indifferent light, as if she will never warm up.
At this moment, she was turning around and looking at You Huo with those eyes.
She was looking at it as if she was really alive.
Wandering nailed in place.
The moment he met her gaze, his heart beat hard, and the blood rolled in his veins. The more he did, the colder his face became.
He never thought that there would be such a day, in such a scene, to see the person who gave birth to him and raised him again.
For eleven years, they lived together, but they were no closer than outsiders. So, what kind of dialogue will happen between them after meeting for a longer time
you have grown up.
Do you still recognize me
how is it going
What would a normal mother-son meeting say? Youhuo is very unfamiliar with this, but he thought, nothing more than this.
The woman at the main console swept around, her eyes fell on the metal gun barrel that You Huo was carrying, and finally said the first sentence.
She said, "Son, are you going to destroy this place?"
You Huo suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
The heart and blood suddenly cooled at this moment, and he finally calmed down.
He thought there would be at least an opening statement, a greeting or something. But on second thought, it was indeed his mother's style, arranging them rationally in order of importance, and then going straight to the point without a single extra sentence.
He looked at the other party, and after a while, he asked back, "Can't it be destroyed here?"
"It's not impossible, it's just a pity."
The woman's eyes were also light brown, and her voice was soft and even. Such a person seems inherently persuasive, as if what she said was the most rational.
"This system has invested a lot of people's efforts, living and deceased like us. It took many years before and after, manpower, material resources and the most advanced technology are all in it. If it is destroyed, it will be in vain." She After a pause, he added: "You may think that I exist with the help of the system, and I am afraid of disappearing to say such a thing. In fact, it is not, even those people outside, those who have been competing with the system, if they know that the system is completely destroyed If they are destroyed, they will also feel distressed and regretful. Do you believe it? If they can, they may be more inclined to shut down rather than destroy.”
Youhuo tilted his head behind him and said, "Whether this is true or not, you should first ask the more than 4,000 people outside, if they feel it is a pity. Or ask those who are still working hard to survive in the examination room. , will they feel distressed and pity for destroying this place? There are also a group of people who should be asked, but they are already dead, in various examination rooms. Would you like to try to communicate with me? Come and tell me if you are done talking. This place should be destroyed."
The woman didn't speak for a long time, she just looked at You Huo quietly, not knowing whether she had no words to refute or what.
After a while, she said, "Son, you are angry."
"You seldom get angry like this when you were young, and you seldom say such long words." She seemed to be recalling, and there was a hint of gentleness in her tone.
Youhuo's lips were straight and looked at her coldly, but did not interrupt immediately.
"Are you so tall back then?" She gestured at her waist, "I am very young, sometimes I think life is very magical, such a child is my son. You are very quiet, don't like to talk, don't like Like other kids asking stupid and childish questions, they don’t get mad, and they don’t get too emotional. I imagined what you would be like when you grow up, and I don’t think other adults have the same problems.”
"Many people have been trapped in various secular pits all their lives, such as hunger and satiety, and some very empty things, love, hate, lust... These will always make people irrational, emotional, and have Sometimes even the ugly. I thought at that time, you will not be like this when you grow up. "
She looked at the confusion again and said, "You look almost as I imagined, I'm very—"
You Huo finally interrupted her: "You have a bit of a misunderstanding."
"What?" The woman was taken aback.
Youhuo said coldly: "Love, hate, lust... I have all of what you said, which is much different from what you imagined."
The other party fell silent, and the morbid face made her seem unreasonable. She pulled away from her memory and asked calmly, "What affected you? Did you encounter something or someone here over the years?"
Youhuo didn't speak, maybe he was too lazy to say anything. But she knew she was right.
"But... it's ridiculous isn't it? None of this is true."
Youhuo frowned: "What do you mean?"
She said: "The design principle of this system is a world constructed by magnetic fields and brain waves. Of course, your every move still leads to the brain, and the nerves used are almost the same, so the purpose of screening and training can be achieved. , but this is not true. I have been here for a long time, although it is not as ubiquitous as the system, but I know a lot of things. Even if the system goes out of control and accidentally pulls in so many candidates by mistake, it is still like this The actual situation. They could be lying in a hospital bed somewhere, in shock, in a coma or whatever, not dead."
"The things you see, experience, people you know, things you do... are just phantoms projected by your brain in the system, why should you fall into the mundane world for these phantoms and get angry with them? Can any of this count as real?" she said, "It's all fake."
The space surrounded by the "curtain" fell into a dead silence. She looked at the confused face, as if trying to sense his emotions. But unfortunately, she failed and can only rely on guessing.
"It's hard to accept, isn't it?" she said.
You Huo shook his head and said, "I was just thinking that my definition of reality may not be the same as yours."
She asked, "Why is it different?"
Youhuo said calmly: "I know that I have experienced this, and this is the truth."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, adjusted the valve of the weapon neatly, and calmly raised the barrel.
"I know that you passed away more than ten years ago. I knelt the whole time at the funeral, and now you are just an afterimage left by the system. Now in this place, you are a ghost, and I am the real. There are people waiting for me outside, he It's also true."
You Huo raised his eyes, and across the cold and monotonous metal platform, the space a few steps away, and more than ten years of time, he said to the person with a similar face: "It's been too long since I was a child, I did it on the day you died. I can't remember what I said or said. I will take this meeting as an opportunity, and I will say goodbye to you seriously."
"You may not be interested in knowing it, but let me tell you. Your brother is doing well, so am I, and we have a good relationship."
At a very occasional moment, Wandering thought that if he went back in time to more than ten years ago and saw his mother again, he would say something to her.
He thought he would ask for a reason, why she did those things, why she took up his eyes, and did she feel regret for a moment.
But the moment he really saw it, he found that he was much calmer than he imagined, and he didn't stick to these things.
She gave birth to him, raised him, but didn't like him very much.
This fact is actually not that hard to accept.
"That's it." You Huo said.
The damage degree of the main control center has reached 98%, and it is only five minutes away from the end.
He narrowed his eyes and aimed the muzzle at the main console.
At that second, the explosion sounded suddenly, and the continuous artillery fire flew from somewhere behind, all of which landed on the place where You Huo was aiming.
The "curtain" made a sizzling sound, flickered a few times, and then disappeared.
You Huo turned his head, and saw Qin Qiu remove the barrel from his shoulders and walk up the steps with the long pipe.
The woman at the main console asked subconsciously, "Who are you?"
Qin Qiu leaned on the confused shoulder and said to the phantom that was about to disappear: "Sorry, I came a little early, and I heard some of your conversations. My name is Qin Qiu, and I'm here to find my truth."
The moment the voice fell, the entire main control center began to disintegrate.
