Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 696 [I Decline]

Without a trace of hesitation, Chen Xiaoliang slashed into a thunderstorm tank!

Hands up, knives down!

Previously, when the tooth was swept away from the Kara Beast, there was little energy left in the shield generator of the Thunderstorm Chariot, and it took plenty of time to recover. The piece of cement that was just broken through by Chen Xiaocai has now completely disappeared.

And the body of the special alloy, there is no way to stop Chen Xiaoliang's sharp knife. Cut in like tofu.

Although the knife was less than a metre long, the pale golden light on it stretched out several metres to cover the entire thunderstorm tank.

It's over.

Chen Xiaoliang had this idea in his mind when Blade had just cut into a thunderstorm tank.

The loopholes in this world obviously need to know more. Like the skinny guy before, if it wasn't for the monster suddenly appearing, Chen Xiaoliang would definitely get more information!

Although it is not known whether the thin man is sitting in this thunderstorm tank or some other loophole, Chen Xiaoliang still wants to be able to catch a live animal and torture him slowly.

But —— now he can't do that.

Even if there is some regret in the heart, there is no way.

But when the knife was halfway through, it stagnated sharply!

If the original feeling of cutting in is tofu, then the feeling that Chen Xiaolian's long knife has now uploaded is to cut a stone hidden in the tofu!

The muffled sound of a collision came from inside the thunderstorm tank, and although blocked by the body, it was still clearly heard by Chen Xiaolian.

In his heart, Chen Xiaolian has already felt a powerful sword in his hand!

“Millionaire, sickness! ”

Countless arrows were ejected from the body of the vehicle, instantly drilling the armor of a thunderstorm tank through countless tiny holes, like a giant hornet's nest.

But before that, Chen Xiaoliang had retracted the knife and inserted it on the bridge in front of him. A golden light blocks the way, and no arrow can penetrate it.

……

At this point, the SUV behind you is just above the bridge.

Though the bridge has tilted, losing the support of most of the slings, crashing and creeping squeaks, as if it could collapse at any moment. But the Blue Sea seemed completely blind, stepping on the throttle and marching forward.

“Stop! We can't make it! ”

Grace grabbed the headrest of the front seat hard and screamed wildly.

Daniel and Yanglin on one side were also a little nervous.

Daniel whispered: "Blue Sea, let's... go back! Around from somewhere else, always... can go back. ”

“Impossible. They won't give us a chance. ”

The Blue Sea did not turn back, the silence, and the throttle at the foot did not relax at all.

Less than a hundred meters from the thunderstorm tank, the Blue Sea saw half the thunderstorm tank cut in front of it, and the turret above it was lifted sharply, flying more than a dozen meters high.

A figure stood above the body of the car, standing high, with a cold chill on his face, looking down at Chen Xiaoli.

Chen Xiaolian held a long knife in his hand and confronted him.

Nobody moves.

The SUV is now over the bridge and the entire body is inclined more than a dozen degrees, but at no reduced speed.

Still nobody moves.

The SUV raced past the thunderstorm chariot, and the wind blew Chen Xiaolian's corner.

Nobody ever moves.

Chen Xiaolian sighed in relief until the thunderstorm tank passed by the two of them.

The steel wire above the bridge in the back is still intact, at least temporarily, the Blue Sea Four are out of danger.

“Wait for me at the bridge. ”

Chen Xiaoliang faintly opened his mouth as the SUV quickly rubbed past him. Though not loud, it clearly overwhelmed the sound of the engine, word for word, so that everyone in the car could hear clearly.

“You're very confident, kid. - What's your name? ”

Fang stood on a tall thunderstorm chariot, staring down at Chen Xiaoli on the bridge in front of him, his expression seemed not to smile.

“I shouldn't have?” Chen Xiaocai raised eyebrows: “Chen Xiaocai. ”

Toothless shrugged: “Confidence is a virtue, but only if - when your strength matches that confidence. ”

“You don't think I'm a good match?” Chen Xiaolian grinned.

“Hmmm...” The fangs suddenly laughed: “So far, so good. Apart from strength, I appreciate the reaction and the brain. Though you destroyed my thunderstorm tank, I decided to forgive you temporarily. So I changed my mind a little bit. ”

“Go ahead.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

If not necessary, he does not want to start a war unwittingly.

Nor has Chen Xiaoliang taken the initiative against anyone since he first entered the end of the world. The skinny man before, and the man in the thunderstorm chariot now, all of a sudden started to do it, without even giving him a chance to say a word.

Now, since the man in front of him had no intention of further action, Chen Xiaoliang would naturally be happy to hear what he wanted to say.

“My name is Fang, and I am one of the same covenants that you have seen in Delha before. But that piece of crap is dead now. The Covenant requires manpower, especially if you are strong enough. So, if you want to join me, I can vouch for you in the covenant. ”

“Be clear. Who are your covenants against? ”

Toothpick laughed: “Enemy? Where are the enemies at the end of the world? We're just doing some cleanup work that we have to do. ”

“Clean up?” Chen Xiaolian acutely captured the most important information in Tooth Language, looked across the bridge, and had almost reached the end of the SUV: “You mean, they? ”

Fang nodded: “Yes. Listen to Delha. You're just a new guy, just arrived at the end of the world. So... as long as you can take the initiative and kill those four awakeners, you prove your innocence. ”

Chen Xiaocao did not immediately refuse, his mind spinning quickly: “Well, I have two questions. ”

“Go ahead.” The tooth outstretched its hand and made a gesture, please.

“Number one, you mean, they're all awakeners, how do you know that? Secondly, what is the purpose of the clean-up? And thirdly, since you know I'm a loophole, I'm not supposed to belong to what you call a cleanup. Why should I prove my innocence? ”

“These are three questions. You don't seem to know much.” Chen Xiaocai continued with a sarcastic remark: "With regard to the first question, it is simple that only two kinds of people - the loopholes and, once, the awakeners - will enter the end of the world after death and be refreshed as ordinary people. ”

“No ordinary people? ”

“No.” Fang shook his head.

Chen Xiaoliang nodded, and the questions he had been hiding were finally explained.

There are more than 6 billion people worldwide, and more than 150,000 people die every day!

If all the dead go into the trash, then the end of the world should never look so empty now!

In this large copy of Manhattan Island, Chen Xiaoliang saw only six people from the beginning - Delha, four in the Blue Sea, and the teeth in front of him now.

According to the Blue Sea, they have been here for so long, and there are only dozens of people gathered in the village.

If what the fangs say is true, then everything can be explained.

Chen Xiaoliang knew Blue Sea and naturally knew that he had been an awakener. And the remaining three Yang Lin, who wanted to come, also had the identity of awakener.

Only four of them have died twice.

For the first time, he died as an awakener, was refreshed into an ordinary person and lost all memory.

The second time, he died as an ordinary man and entered the end of the world.

At the end of the world, they have no power, no memory, but there are loopholes here!

After such a long time, these loopholes will always meet some of the awakeners they have seen, who have lost their memory!

Combined with the huge differences in numbers, it is easy to deduce this conclusion.

“What about the second question? ”

“First, you have to understand what the end of the world is. ”

“Trash. The place where all the systems intend to delete the data. ”

“Exactly.” Smile Tooth: “Then you should know that the trash needs to be emptied. Like your computer, the data at the end of the world is regularly emptied. Includes a copy of Abandoned and includes the Dead Awakener. ”

“Only you loopholes remain.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded, on this point he had already guessed, only now it has been proven by his teeth.

“are ‘we’ the lookers.” Dental deliberately exacerbates the pronunciation of those two words: "But now there's a problem with the refresh in the trash. ”

“No Refresh in Trash?” Chen Xiaocai remembered having said this before Delha.

“Yes.” Nod your teeth: “The original trash works by refreshing every three months or so, emptying everything but the vulnerability. But now, five months have passed since the last refresh. ”

“So?” Chen Xiaoliang frowned: “I don't understand why this bothers you. Do you prefer a world of naked and nothing? ”

“Of course not.” Tooth laughing: “Who would feel like living like that? Without the penetrated copies that are constantly entering the end of the world, none of us would have survived. We didn't come in here until we died once, but we're not dead. We have to eat, we have to dress, we have to sleep. ”

“Sounds like it's not easy for you to live.” Chen Xiaocai laughed: “There are not too many copies of the city. It is rare to paint one. The resources inside will surely be robbed by you. ”

“Not bad these days.” Tooth outstretches, pointing at a thunderstorm tank that has been destroyed underneath: "It will enter the end of the world, with equipment destroyed in combat, in addition to people and copies. Depending on the degree of destruction, however, the level of integrity at the end of the world varies. Shortly before, I didn't know what was happening in the outside world, and suddenly I refreshed a lot of high-end equipment, including things like thunderstorm tanks and sentry armor, and they were intact. This also means that… they were completely destroyed before. By the way..."

He suddenly stared at Chen Xiaocai: “Since you've just entered the end of the world, you should know what's going on out there, right? ”

Chen Xiaocai shook his head and looked at his teeth. His face did not show half a split: “What happened in the copy, I was not selected, how do I know? ”

His teeth were constantly staring at Chen Xiaocai, he did not move away at all, and Chen Xiaocai's eyes did not flash at all, and he looked at him calmly.

Whatever happens, don't worry about me. ”Toothless laughed for a long time:“ At the end of the world, don't ever think about leaving one day. It has nothing to do with us, even if it comes out of our brains. ”

Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help but smile: “You haven't answered my question yet. Isn't it a good thing that the trash can stop refreshing? ”

“It seems so on the surface.” Toothless groaned: "But haven't you thought about the consequences of this? ”

“Consequences?”

“Timed refresh in the Trash was originally an automated mechanism. But now, this automatic mechanism has stopped. If only in the short term, no one may have noticed. But over time, someone will always find this BUG. ”

Chen Xiaoliang suddenly realized who the fangs were saying: “You mean, the development team? ”

“When the automatic mechanism fails, the normal reasonable reaction, of course, is to convert to manual operation. And what do you think the development team will do when they find us at the end of the world? ”

Chen Xiaoliang nodded: “I get it. We are the Vulnerable, the BUG of the system, and the automated cleanup mechanism will not clear us until we enter the trash. But if the development team discovers the anomaly here, they'll find us. And then..."

The fangs grinned: "By then, we will be emptied completely, just like those who awaken. I don't think anyone would want to see that happen. ”

“This covenant in your mouth, then, was made to restart the refresh function in the Trash. But I still don't understand. How can you infer that killing other awakeners can reboot the refresh feature in the trash?” Chen Xiaoliang shook his head: “Moreover, I am a vulnerability and do not belong to the object of automatic cleaning in the trash. If that's the case, why did you and that Del Ha attack me the minute we first met? ”

“The two issues are actually one and the same, very simple.” Tooth stalled: “As you can imagine, every object present in the recycling bin, be it a person, a copy, a prop, has a 'number’. Except, of course, for our loopholes. The clearance mechanism was also carried out in that order. However, this automated cleanup mechanism is not human, it is not intelligent and can only be cleaned sequentially, one by one by number. And now… when an object corresponding to a number cannot be cleared, the mechanism fails. In other words, it's stuck.

To reactivate the cleanup mechanism, we must ‘manually’ clear the stuck object.

And the awakeners at the end of the world have lost their memories and abilities and become ordinary people. They have no idea how the world works, what the system is, what the development team is, what the trash can be. Only a loophole can do that. One - traitor among the loose! ”

Chen Xiaoliang frowned: “Why? ”

“Who knows?” chuckled Toothless: “The vulnerabilities themselves are not cleaned up by the system, nor are they numbered. So there's only one reasonable presumption left -- that there's a loophole, with some ability, or some prop, that protects an awakener from cleaning up the recycling bin. As for the consequences of doing so, he might not have thought, perhaps -- it doesn't matter at all. ”

Chen Xiaocai sighed and did not speak.

He could tell that his teeth were not lying. Since he wanted to tie him to the same chariot, there was no need to lie to himself.

Though it does sound cruel, there is no way for Chen Xiaolian to blame his teeth and everyone in this covenant for not doing it right.

- Man is no good to himself, and the heavens are gone! Everyone was sitting on a boat, and now there was a man who wanted to sink the boat and drag everyone to die together, so it was only reasonable that the rest of us were going to fuck him.

“But there's only one person you're going to kill, and the others are innocent. ”

“So what?” Xiaocai listened to Chen Xiaocai and laughed coldly: “We just speculated on this conclusion, and we don't know who that person really is, we can only kill them all indiscriminately. You forgot, if it wasn't for the trash refresh mechanism, they would have been emptied. To live to this day, it's already earned. ”

Chen Xiaoliang frowned: “But you and that Delha tried to kill me before. And I'm a loophole. ”

“Delha didn't know you were a loophole before she did.” The teeth shook their heads: "And you were with those four. I told you, the awakener who dodged the system cleanup must have a loophole behind him. ”

“How do you know I'm not that guy now? ”

The fangs laughed: "Because you don't know me. And at the end of the world, no one but the loophole who just arrived in the world... doesn't know me! ”

“And, as I said, to prove your innocence, you still need to kill those four people.” The tooth went towards the other end of the bridge, and the stop SUV lifted its chin: “Kill them and you'll be clean. I will act as your guarantor and let you join the covenant. ”

“Thank you.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded: “Thank you for showing your face and for telling me so much. But...”

He raised his head and looked firmly at his obtuse teeth: "Sorry, I refuse. ”

[Long vacation is over, keep working!
