The huge explosion at the arsenal caused the number of androids in Red City to drop sharply, making the assault team's route smoother.
They reached the Red City Administrative Center with almost no effort.
Facing this management center where no human beings survived, everyone felt a little emotional.
Xigou: "Alas... Hongcheng has such good basic conditions and its technology seems to be pretty good. If it hadn't been betrayed by AI 200 years ago, it might be a large city with a large concentration of humans now. Maybe it could even be our main city in the early stage."
Lao Ao: "Now you can..."
Everyone: “Oh~~~that makes sense!”
The shadow guard has returned to Cheng Dafu's body and is now walking in front of the team. The mechanical heart behind him begins to tremble.
"Hmm? I think I sensed the location of the fishing robot."
He took out the mechanical heart, and a layer of milky white energy smoke emerged from it. It floated into the air and pointed to the top floor of the Municipal Center.
Fox Demon: "So this item is used to help us lock onto the dungeon boss. Now that we can find the fishing robot, let's give it a try! Anyway, we are now covered by the base's signal and the data has been backed up. If we die, we will only lose a set of ordinary equipment."
The previous battle had destroyed most of the equipment that they had once been proud of.
The battle intensity is too high!
It would be strange if they were not damaged after being hit by energy rays head-on. They don’t have any high-strength equipment made of nano materials, but only some biological material equipment decomposed from organisms.
A first-level crocodile leather garment can only withstand the first-level damage. If it is level 2 or above, it will be severely worn out, and if it is level 3 or above, it will be directly turned into ashes.
Cheng Dafu was fine. He did not participate in the frontal battle, and the equipment on his body was all decomposed from the second-level chaos priest. The energy attribute was very high, which could help him greatly improve the attributes of his pet.
When fighting, Cheng Dafu's summons are obviously stronger than the players'.
Everyone is now free of worries and ready to risk their lives against the fishing robot.
They walked into the municipal center cautiously. There was no army of androids ready for battle as they had imagined. There were only some robots working in various shapes and they all seemed to have high IQs.
The gatekeeper was a female robot wearing black stockings and with a beautiful face like a celebrity. She bent down slightly:
"Welcome guests, our city lord is already waiting for you on the rooftop."
Gentle and generous, non-aggressive.
Next second.
Bang!
He was shot dead by Lin Tang.
When it fell to the ground, the expression on the robot's face was full of surprise. Based on its logic, it seemed that it did not understand why a service robot like itself was beaten to death.
Lin Tang spat with disdain: "The guy in front is almost beating his brains out, and he's still playing politeness? My evaluation is just four words: Don't get involved!"
The players' violent behavior frightened the office robots in the hall who were originally calm and composed.
They stepped back slightly, as if feeling the fear.
This made Xigou nod his head: "This is a bit like AI intelligence. If it is like those androids without any emotions, how can it be called an intelligent robot?"
"How can intelligent robots without emotions... wipe out humans?"
All the office robots on the first floor, even those that were not aggressive, were killed by the players without leaving a single one alive.
Cheng Shaofeng raised his lips and said, "Okay, the struggle between races does not allow for any mercy."
What if these robots backstab them later
The crowd walked up level by level, killing people along the way.
Reached the top floor.
This is a conical roof. Once you enter, you will see a large flat space without any obstructions.
There is a statue carved in the middle.
It was an old, broken fishing robot with deep fear in its eyes.
"Um?"
In the lobby on the top floor, countless intelligent robots were crowded together, talking at once, and it was very noisy.
"Boss, they were very aggressive and killed us all."
"Why bother talking to them when you can just kill them all?"
"How can you, a filthy human, compare with us?"
These are all intelligent robots. Their conversations are full of emotions just like humans, and they also have a superior quality, as if they are some kind of extremist organization.
Surrounded by them was a kind-looking old man who looked no different from a human being.
At least the players can't see any traces of the robot. If they were outside, they wouldn't even suspect that it was a robot. It's just like... a clone of the Scourge Base.
It smiled and nodded to the intelligent robots seeking comfort: "Okay, you guys go away first, I'll take care of it."
Cheng Shaofeng: "Oh? The robots we just killed have all been resurrected."
Yaohu: "I figured it out. After all, it's just a program. As long as the data is saved, it can be resurrected by changing its body. This technology should be the most basic for robots."
Lin Tang pulled out his rifle: "It doesn't matter, I will take action and kill him again."
Bang bang bang!
He aimed at these defenseless robots and pulled the trigger continuously, causing loud explosions in the attic.
But the old man raised his hand slightly, and a stream of energy covered the robots with it as the center, forming a blue energy shield, and they were safe inside, not even affected by the impact.
There were also robots smiling at them with disdain.
Just get away unscathed right under everyone's noses.
The fox demon glanced at his smartwatch: "The energy intensity... is much higher than that of a third-level Nether Demon beast! It seems to be a fourth-level one!"
Now, everyone's vigilance was raised to the maximum.
Among them, the highest-level members of the peak team are only level 24, and the others are around level 21, and they have just been upgraded.
It’s too far from the fourth level!
If they all work together, they might be able to defeat the Hades monster, but that's their limit.
The fox waved his hands: "Don't attack them. I guess this boss won't let us win by force. We need to... outsmart him."
He asked the old man, "You are the fishing robot that took away Red City, right?"
The old man smiled and said, "Humans, they all call me Fishing Old Man."
"It happened 200 years ago, it's been too long. You don't understand the situation at that time, and you won't understand what I did at that time."
"Actually, I'm more curious about who are the masters of these clones? Why did you come to my Red City?"
Cheng Shaofeng raised his eyebrows.
The composition of the players can be seen at a glance.
It seems that this old fisherman has some skills.
Mo Ming laughed loudly: "We? They are the most powerful beings in the universe! Have you heard of...high-dimensional creatures? You are nothing but a bunch of data in my world!"
Everyone: “… ”
The demon fox quickly covered his mouth and said, "We are from the human camp, helping the people of Red City who died in your hands to fight against you."
The fisherman seemed to be really thinking about something inexplicable: "High-dimensional creatures... This is an interesting concept. I often think about this question. Before you fight me, I want to show you something."
"Come with me."
It didn't seem that he treated the players as enemies and attacked them whenever he met them. Even if the players killed tens of thousands of androids and blew up his missile launch center, he still looked very calm.
The players looked at each other, and finally looked at Cheng Shaofeng.
Cheng Shaofeng: "Based on our current strength... it would be difficult to win in a head-on fight, so why not wait and see."
They followed the fisherman to a large screen, on which was a rotating silver-white planet.
The old fisherman gently moved his fingers in the air, and the view of the planet was constantly zoomed in, from space to the ground, and the creatures inside also appeared.
Metal earth, mechanical bugs, red trees that can convert cosmic radiation into electrical energy, and a large number of high-tech robots living in this world, everything about them is so... sci-fi.
It can’t be said to be a style like cyberpunk or steampunk, but rather... a mechanical frenzy.
Fishing Master: "This is the perfect robot world in my mind, what do you think?"
Xiao Ma Ge subconsciously wanted to find Long Yi, only to realize that Long Yi had already turned around.
The Clown King said indifferently: "YY? Everyone can do that. We often fantasize about being able to fly into the sky and break through the void. It's just that your robot's G-spot is a bit strange..."
Lin Tang: "But the resolution of your thing is still quite high, and the modeling is also great. If it can be put into our world, I guess we can make another "Mechanical OL" game, which will definitely sell well!"
Polar Bear: "Be more confident. The art style of this game is better than our "End of the World OL", and the details are also good. As long as the game mechanism allows, who doesn't want to experience being a robot?"
Looking at the players chatting, the fisherman just shook his head and did not comment.
At this moment, Lao Ao suddenly said: "Did you create this?"
The fisherman said, "Yes, every creature here has its own personality and behavioral logic. The planet also has its own basic physical rules. Everything is running perfectly and has been running for 50 years. The speed inside is 100 times faster than our speed. In other words, the world inside has a history of 5,000 years."
Yaohu and Lao Ao looked at each other and both thought of the key point.
Yaohu: "So, what you actually want to show us is... you created a virtual world?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I often wonder, after I create a completely virtual world, the people in this world have a history of 5,000 years. They believe in their own existence and will never be aware of my existence. Then how do we define our world as not being controlled by the high-dimensional creatures you mentioned?"
"Perhaps we are just a bunch of virtual data? I play the role of a robot city lord in this pile of data, and you play the most ridiculous warriors in human history. Is there any need for us to fight?"
"Moreover... the so-called high-dimensional creatures are not out of reach. There is a 98.6% chance that they are just ordinary creatures than you and me. We always like to imagine a world that is better and stronger than our own, don't we?"
At this moment, the players suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. The final boss they were going to fight was not a powerful robot, but... a philosopher.
The boss in the game seriously discusses with you whether he is virtual data, which makes players feel strongly uncomfortable.
Lin Tang really wanted to say, "Yes, you are just a piece of data in the game, and we are playing this game in the real world wearing helmets."
But his mouth was still covered by the fox demon, so he could only whimper.
Cheng Shaofeng frowned and looked at the fishing robot.
'Good fellow... He has lived long enough to comprehend philosophy. This robot is really smart. Don't mislead the players into thinking that this is a real world.'
The fox said firmly, "This is a question that can never be proven, but if you want us to see your virtual world program... then that's it. Our mission is to kill you."
"You're right, I can never prove it, but I can change the world into what I want it to be."
The old fisherman glanced at the players and shook his head: "Your power is too weak... I have already reached the level of a fourth-order human evolver by transforming my body more than 50 years ago. In this city... I can still exert several times my own power."
"You don't stand a chance..."
"The reason I allowed you to fight until now is just because I wanted to study your body structure more and make a new batch of robots..."
At this time, a progress bar appeared in the hall, which had reached 99%, and then advanced to 100% in front of everyone's eyes.
"Well, now my robot has your abilities."
"Come with me."
All the players became alert and did not follow its arrangements immediately.
But the fishing robot seemed to have achieved its goal. With a slight wave of its hand, more than ten energy rays were emitted from the roof, covering all the players.
On the spot, the player lost all ability to move!
Completely locked.
The energy can't function either!
Looking at the smart watch, all the skills turned gray and could not be used.
The same goes for Cheng Dafu and Shadow Guard.
Xigou immediately shouted: "It's bad! We are totally unable to resist! What kind of power is this!"
Demon Fox: "Plot kill?"
Lin Tang immediately shouted, "Lord, help me!
!”
Cheng Shaofeng: "Soldiers, I am no match for it..."
Cheng Dafu, who is level 31, is like a waste at this moment.
The opponent's strength far exceeds theirs!
Everyone could only be controlled by the energy shield, pulled to the edge of the window and look outside.
In a factory in front, a group of androids that looked exactly like the players walked out.
The thin dog holding dual knives, Lin Tang holding a rifle, the polar bear with his summons, all the dead players were copied!
Demon Fox: "It's copying our people!"
And, not just one!
30 thin dogs, 50 Lin Tang, 20 old white guys... walked out of the city center and rushed towards the new players.
Fishing Old Man: "Thank you for helping me kill those charred people. Their bodies are so small, but their souls have trapped me, leaving me with only the Red City and the virtual world to keep company."
"Thank you for helping me improve the power of my androids. I haven't found such a suitable replica for a long time. They will take your abilities to the whole world and transform this backward wasteland into the mechanical world in my mind... Oh, the name of "Mechanical OL" you mentioned is quite good. This world will be called that from now on."
"Finally, thank you for visiting me. It has been a long time since I felt human blood flowing through my hands... I know you can't die. As a matter of highest courtesy, I will put your souls into my perfect virtual world to accompany me forever."
Hearing the last sentence, Cheng Shaofeng was shocked!
