Chapter 513 [Unguarded Cities]

Chen Xiaoliang was stunned.

He stood in the room, right in front of the screen on the wall.

He felt a little dull - the room was closed for a long time and inevitably a little dull when the ventilation system stopped.

But Chen Xiaocai's mind just moved. Suddenly, the ventilation system in the room emitted a "drop” sound, and it started to run automatically. Although it was a super quiet system, once it operated, it inevitably had a little sound, which was heard by Chen Xiaocai, who was overwhelmed with sensation.

His subconscious head looked at the vents in the room and noticeably felt a little fresh wind pouring into the room.

This is… what happened?

Chen Xiaoliang opened his eyes and began to think.

My last memory was… I was in Room Zero, looking for the so-called "my place”??

And then what?

And then... blank?

He just appeared in the room?

Chen Xiaocai's face got serious.

No, it's not right!

Something must have happened in the middle.

But why can't I remember at all?

Memories... erased? Deleted?

What have you been through in Room Zero? Know what?

Again… what did you get?

He remembered clearly that he had entered the Zero City system, clearly remembered the conversations he had with the Zero City system, the conversations about "permissions”.

Also, I went through a copy of "Qin Huang Ling” again.

But then after entering Room Zero... I can't remember anything.

“Shit!” Chen Xiaoliang couldn't bear to whisper: “Do you want to play like this?! Fucking Zero City system! What have you done to me? ”

Wait

The ventilation system in the room? How did it open?

Power back?

Chen Xiaolei was stunned by God's kung fu, and heard the voice of the young man called Guan Shan by the Blue Sea coming from outside the door.

“Little face! Are you in there? Sir send me to look at you...”

Then there was the sound of the door slamming: bang bang bang bang...

Chen Xiaoliang was still a little dizzy. He didn't recover at once. After a few seconds, he reacted. Guanshan smashed the door outside!

“I'm... okay! ”

Chen Xiaoliang took a deep breath and saw the screen in front of him, reflecting his face contour.

Some blurred, some inaccurate, although obviously their own appearance, but I don't know why, Chen Xiaoliang always felt some... strange?

He shook his head and walked to the door.

Outside, the sound of Guan Shan came: "Little face? What did you just say? ”

“I said... I'm fine.” Chen Xiaolian subconsciously held the door handle and gently turned.

Ta-da, the door's open!

Outside the door, is Guanshan's dumb face.

This young man stared wide-eyed... he didn't look at Chen Xiaocai, but at the door that was opened!

The young man's expression was also a little stiff, and his eyes were full of shock.

“What's the matter? You saw me as if you saw a ghost.” Chen Xiaolian frowned.

“I...” said Guanshan stammering: “The door is open? ”

“Yeah.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded consciously: “When you knocked on the door, I opened the door... hmm? ”

“System restored? Electricity's back? ”

Guan Shan suddenly shouted.

But then they looked in the hallway...

All rooms remain closed and locked.

“You... how is your door...”

Chen Xiaocai smiled. “I don't know. ”

Guan Shan stunned for a moment and then flew fast: “Something's wrong here. I mean, something's wrong with Zero City! The system malfunctioned and is now almost everywhere. ”

Chen Xiaoliang thought: I know. But naturally his face wouldn't show, he looked at Guanshan.

Guanshan was a little hairy with Chen Xiaolian's eyes on him. Although his heart was strange, he still flew fast: “Ignore these first, sir, let me see you. Since you can go out, then come with me! ”

“To where? ”

“Go to the Senate Control Center… it's the safest place there is now!” The silence of Guanshan.

“... okay.” Chen Xiaoliang's mind was confused and he nodded before he could think too much.

Guanshan then led the way ahead, leading Chen Xiaoliang to the safe passage, but to the door of the safe passage, Guanshan walked in, but Chen Xiaoliang continued along the corridor as if he didn't realize it.

Guan Shan looked back at Chen Xiaocai and didn't follow up. When he looked back, he found that Chen Xiaocai had walked over to the elevator and shouted in haste: “The power is gone, all the elevators are... hmm?! ”

The next second, Guanshan's stuck!

Chen Xiaocai pressed the elevator button at random, and the elevator that had already stopped, “Ding” sounded...

Here we go!

Guan Shan once again showed that ghost expression.

“I...” Chen Xiaocai grinned and frowned at the elevator that lit up in front of him: “I... don't know. ”

“...” Guan Shan's heart is amazing, but he can't even think about it: “Let's go! I'll talk to you later, sir. ”

A moment later, they left the hotel and rushed into the street.

Zero City's system has stopped, stopping that kind of alternating day and night simulation system, the streets are pitch-black!

Even all the street lights have been turned off, and occasionally some armed Angel Corps fighters patrol the distance for security patrols.

Looking at the black painted street, Guanshan took out two lights, shoved a glance at Chen Xiaolian, and lowered his voice: “Come on, come with me. ”

“Okay.”

Chen Xiaolei nodded, holding the lights behind Guanshan, and flew quickly towards the centurion district of Zero City.

At this time, strange things happen again!

With Chen Xiaolian running, on the street, where he went, the street lights on the side of the road, suddenly one after the other, lit up!

It's like lighting up just for him!

At this time, even if Guanshan wanted to press his personality, he finally couldn't bear.

He looked at a lit street lamp around him in shock and suddenly stopped, turning around and staring at Chen Xiaocai!

“You… what exactly did you do?! Why... these?!! ”

Chen Xiaoliang also stood still.

He frowned at the street lights around him.

Flying thoughts in my heart.

Is it because of me?

In an instant, a bold thought rushed into Chen Xiaolian's mind.

Is it permissions?

I thought it was too dark in my own consciousness, I wish I had some lighting.

And the street lights turned on automatically?

And in the room, when you feel bored, the ventilation system works automatically.

And you can open locked doors at will!!

This is… permissions?!

Looking at the complexity of his expression, looking at himself, his eyes shocked with a hint of Guanshan, Chen Xiaolei took a deep breath, waved his hand: “Wait a minute. ”

Chen Xiaocai looked up at the “sky”, although the so-called sky had become a black nothingness.

Chen Xiaolian thought: It's too dark, let it shine.

The moment this thought flashes...

The world, bright!

……

Blue Sea was talking to Wu Angel in a low voice, and suddenly an Angel Corps man fell and crashed in outside the door.

“Here we go! Launch!! ”

“What's up?” Wu Angel frowned and scolded: “What's the rush! Speak slowly! ”

The Angel Corps took a deep breath, but his face was excited: "Outside... Outside! Day and night simulation system activated!! ”

And the next few seconds, the staff sitting in front of the console, all of a sudden, they were all excited, and soon, one by one, they came with a surprise debriefing voice.

“Ecosystem activated!! ”

“The energy system is back and recharging! Restored! ”

“All surveillance is back to normal! ”

“The energy in the production area is normal! ”

“The backup system is in sleep! Main energy supply restored! ”

“Zero City is awake! It's awake!! ”

In front of the console, a technician reported exciting news. Blue Sea and Wu Angel and others, though unknown, both relieved themselves unconsciously.

This fluctuating watchman, a good piece of news. Throughout the hall, a thrilling voice.

“Internal security clearance unlocked! ”

“Love Sea Automated System Restored! ”

“Resident Team Autonomous System Restoration! ”

“Angel Legion Armament System Restored! ”

“External lighting system…”

“We're saved...”

Blue Sea and Wu Angel exchanged their eyes with each other, both eyes full of suspicion. But after all, they are excellent leaders, at this moment, temporarily suppressed the doubts in their hearts, but immediately issued instructions.

“All duty personnel, check the surveillance of their respective positions! I want to know if Zero City is 100% back to normal! ”

“Yes!”

“Also, order all resident team technicians to enter their respective roles and inspect every place! ”

“Yes!”

“All Angel Legion combatants enter the post, control continues, and everyone is ordered to stay indoors and stay out! Street martial law! No outsiders are allowed to move freely except for members of the permanent team and Angel Corps! ”

“Yes"

At this point, the Blue Sea saw Guanshan rushing in.

Blue Sea immediately whispered to Wu Angel and walked over.

“How's he doing? ”

Guan Shan's expression was very strange. In the face of the Blue Sea question, he did not immediately answer, but stared at the cheering and exhilarating cry in the lobby. Guan Shan swallowed the mouth spit: “Sir... here...”

“Well, just now, the Zero City system woke up and everything was back to normal.” The Blue Sea laughed.

“Really... just now...” Guanshan muttered to himself, then he shook his head hard: “You told me... I went to find Chen Xiaocai, and then I brought him back. ”

“Bring it back?” Blue Sea stunned, nodded immediately: “OK, now the situation is unknown, staying in the hotel is too dangerous, you can bring it back, you dispose of it very nicely. Where are the people?”

“Outside, I asked him to wait in the lounge and you can meet him anytime. ”

Blue Sea nodded: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute. ”

“Sir.” Guan Shan's expression was very serious: “You'd better go see him now... Something's wrong! ”

“Hmm?”

Guan Shan's forehead came out of cold sweat and couldn't care less. He went straight past it and said a few quick words in the ears of the Blue Sea.

Blue Sea stunned: “What did you say? ”

Guan Shan smiled bitterly and then went on to the Blue Sea ear to say what he had just seen Chen Xiaocai and what he had seen and heard on the way back.

After that, the Blue Sea also stayed.

“... really? Is there such a thing? ”

“I... thought I saw it, but... but...” Guan Shan's expression seemed like he was going to cry: “I'm confused right now, sir, and I don't know what's going on. ”

With a shock in his eyes, Blue Sea took a deep breath and flew fast: “Hurry! Take me to him now! ”

……

Chen Xiaolian sat in the lounge.

This lounge is not set up with the kind of sci-fi in the movies, but rather has a nostalgic old-fashioned style.

In the leather sofa, Chen Xiaocai sat uncomfortable. He twisted his body and stood up and walked to the wall of the room.

There are several wall lights on the wall.

“Off.”

The room darkened.

“On.”

Room lit up.

Chen Xiaoliang smiled strangely.

“Really... yes. ”

Chen Xiaolian, like a child who got a new toy, had a novel feeling in his heart.

And just after he turned off the lights in the room again and turned them on again, the door opened.

Blue Sea stood at the door of the room and saw the lights flashing, switching off, one more.

Chen Xiaolian just stood by the switch on the wall with his hands behind his back.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the Blue Sea. This sword, the leader of the mountains and seas of flames, is utterly shocked!

His expression became impossible to describe in words, and suddenly he walked in, closing the door hard, twisting his head, staring at Chen Xiaocai with incredible eyes!

Chen Xiaoliang stood and looked quietly at the Blue Sea.

“Chen Xiaocai... can you tell me what the hell is going on? All this just now... you are...” Blue Sea feels a little bitter in the mouth: “How did you do it? ”

Chen Xiaoliang also looked a little strange: “I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to explain. ”

“Then explain slowly!” The blue sea's tone revealed a hint of anxiety - a hint of fear and anxiety in his heart that instantly made him lose his mind.

Chen Xiaoliang frowned and looked at the Blue Sea.

“… sorry.” Blue Sea rubbed its own face: “My emotions are exciting... but I don't think you have a hard time understanding! This is Zero City, our home! And you... seem to control something in Zero City? An outsider, however, controls some of the permissions of our home, which makes me nervous and irrational! Chen Xiaoliang, I need an explanation! ”

“Well, there's gotta be a stall.” Chen Xiaocai sighed, but when he was about to speak.

Bang

The door was forced open!

Wu Angel walked in anxiously.

“Blue Sea! Come with me! Something's wrong! ”

“What?”

“Quick! Control Center!! Get everyone together! Quick! Get all fighters on your team!! ”

Wu Angel finished his speech and quickly turned around and ran away.

Blue Sea stunned for a second and finally turned to follow, but took two steps and looked back at Chen Xiaocai: “Come with me! Face!”

……

In the main control hall, the atmosphere of joy and excitement has been swept away! Replaced by a repression like that of a great enemy!!

Blue Sea walked in with Wu Angel and saw two other acquaintances.

The heads of both resident teams have arrived with several key players from their respective teams.

In the hall, the atmosphere is tense!

“Something wrong? ”

Blue Sea asks.

Wu Angel's face was like water, pointing to an Angel Legion man: "Report to me. ”

“Yes!” the Angel Legion immediately stood upright and, although a little nervous, spoke quickly.

“Just now… everyone was checking the procedures for their respective roles and it seems that almost all of the functions in Zero City have returned to normal, but… I have discovered an anomaly within the responsibilities of my position. ”

“What's going on? ”

“External channel management authority, sir!” The voice of this man in the Angel Legion is a little trembling.

Managing permissions for external channels!

That said, the Blue Sea and the two new arrivals sucked in a cold breath of air.

A middle-aged man in a grey robe sighed with a hissing voice: "Speak up, what is going on? ”

The person who spoke was obviously a giant figure of the Presbyterian Church, and the reported Angel Legion officer immediately bowed down to him and continued: “The passage outside Zero City, the highest security level part of Zero City, has always been firmly in control of all the functions of opening and closing the passage, as well as the temporary authority to open the alternate passage at any time.

That is, each resident team has its own channel of authority. Angel Legion has a safe passage for battle. The Zero Town itself also has public access, allowing internal and external personnel to enter and exit on the opening day.

We have the security screening feature to soar away from the electronic guards of the outside world program - although they have been trying to do so, it is because of the security program in the outer corridor of Zero City that we have been solidifying our soup.

But just now... "

“What just happened?” The Blue Sea said in silence.

“Just now, the external channel management authority, the security program, disappeared! ”

Wu Angel growled angrily: “What do you mean disappeared? Is the program still awake? Locked up? Like what just happened? Locked up? Going into dormancy? ”

“No, that's not true.” This debriefing post is covered in sweat: “In what just happened, the external access procedure did not disappear, it was just locked down, meaning that all the ‘doors' were closed and people outside could not get in. The people inside can't get out either. This is called ‘locking’, but now… things have changed strangely.

The entire external channel security system... has completely disappeared! ”

His voice began to tremble, apparently his heart could not repress the appalling emotions, and all his tone became stuttering.

“If, for a long time, the authority system of the external corridor has been a wall to protect Zero City from foreign invasion… Now, my lords, this wall has completely disappeared! It's like this program never existed! ”

The last few words made the hall sound quiet!!

A few seconds later, the Blue Sea asks in a dull voice, "You mean… the walls don't exist? So now all the external corridors in Zero City... the main corridor, as well as all the authority corridors that each team has... are open?! ”

“That's not true.” This man whispered: “You may have misunderstood a concept. In essence, Zero City has only one external passage, which is the Central District, which is the one where everyone gets in and out the most on weekdays, and the one where people can get in and out on open days, we call it the 'gate’.

Beyond that, the resident teams, the special channels that they own, the alternate channels, etc., the small channels that are opened with various permissions, are collectively referred to as' small doors', which should not exist on the run, but are opened individually using the 'external channel system'.

That is, on the walls of Zero City, there are additional doors that have been opened for use by your permanent team and within our Angel Legion.

But these doors themselves were opened later, and the initial passage, the only one, was the gate.

And all the new doors were opened individually using the program... and now the program doesn't exist! So... Ladies and gentlemen, those access roads for the resident team themselves, as well as the battle safety roads used inside the Angel Corps, etc... all the 'doors' don't exist anymore! It's all gone! ”

The faces of all those present changed color.

The Blue Sea is still the most calm one: “So... according to you, all these ‘doors' have disappeared, which means that everyone will have to walk 'doors’ in the future? Doesn't seem like a bad thing...”

“That's not true.” This man's eyes are red, obviously under extreme anxiety, and his voice is getting sharper and ugly: “The little door disappeared! But the gate is still here! And because of the disappearance of the 'external channel system'! We lost control of the gate!

Now the doors are completely open and ready to enter and exit! That means that whoever it is, whoever it is, doesn't need any screening, no security system readiness and access control! The people inside can go anywhere, while the people outside can go anywhere!!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me get this straight: Zero City, we're in a state of insecurity! ”

Unguarded!

Zero City is not secure!

Open the gate!

Everyone heard and understood these words!

That's why the lobby suddenly became silent as if a needle could be heard on the floor!

Everyone's face shows shock, anxiety, panic, confusion… and so much more.

“Let's just say we're in danger now. ”

Speaking was the head of another team, who was wearing a white robe that looked a bit like a magician.

“You could say that. ”

“Not necessarily.” Closed by the Blue Sea, I couldn't help but ask: “Even if the gate is open... the enemy outside, such as an electronic guard, may not be able to find where the gate is...”

“I'm not so optimistic about that.” This man flew fast: “The program of the outside world, the electronic guard, has been searching tirelessly for our entrance to the door. We have always been safe because we have an 'external corridor security system' in Zero City.

We didn't develop the system, we brought the Zero City system. It's very smart, and we haven't been able to crack it, and we haven't even been able to understand how it works.

In short, its existence releases a variety of ‘deceitful' data to deceive the outside world program from our retrieval.

This retrieval and search does not exist at all times! Because we have a security system that protects us and blocks our doors, we can't be found outside!

But now, as I was saying, this program that protects us, it's gone for no reason!

So… "

“So the master program of the outside world, those terrible electronic guards, could find us anytime, from an already open door, kill us in, destroy us, destroy the Zero City?” The Blue Sea whispered in a calm, almost weird voice: “Is that what you're trying to say? ”

“… yes.” This man trembled: “Based on this situation, in accordance with the Angel Corps Supreme War Rules, I, as the head of the surveillance post, am obliged to make my recommendations to Lord Wu Angel. ”

“Go ahead.” Wu Angel's face is iron blue.

“… In accordance with the ancient rule, this similar situation arises, which states that the highest priority is to evacuate! Evacuate all Zero City personnel!! ”
