Wasteland Code Survival

"Shang, are you sure you really want to do this?" Xia Weiwei took a step back and shook his head.

In his eyes, a dangerous light was shining, but it was a pity that the man named "Shang" did not see this sign that something was about to happen.

"Otherwise? If we fail..." Shang moved his somewhat stiff wrist and neck.

"What's wrong with failure?" Xia unexpectedly interrupted Shang's words. His expression suddenly became mad and ferocious. His eyes were round and he stared at Shang as his body was gradually recovering, speaking quickly. To say."Isn't it good to let'utopia' replace this world devastated by war?"

"Xia, you--?!"

"What are you talking about, Xia?!"

"Yes, I have decided to fail the organization from the beginning. You are wrong, I am also wrong, we are all wrong... The mastermind is the right one. Imagine it, if we can really transform our brains Dataization, then we will have an endless life span, we have almost unlimited time, we can create everything, any miracle will no longer be a miracle, we can even become... God! But now? I still have the last After a few years of life span, it will return to the dust, and you will be imprisoned in this coffin-like life-sustaining cabin for eternal life, until the last bit of vitality in the cells is drained, and you die silently... …Are you willing? This world should belong to us! We are elites out of hundreds of millions. We are the masters and masters. We should not just leave the world to those ignorant fools!"

Xia's speech is fast, and her arms are waving greatly because of her emotions. From a distance, she looks like a conductor directing an impassioned march on the stage.

"Xia, you are crazy." A voice came from the loudspeaker overhead. Obviously, this was what a man lying in the life-sustaining cabin said. As for the merchant who had already crawled out of the life-saving cabin, He had an expression of horror, and his body was trembling slightly. Even the robot waiter put a robe on him without any response.

"I'm not crazy, I'm sober, since you don't agree with me... sorry--"

Xia suddenly drew a pistol from her waist, quickly pointed it at the businessman who was staying in place, and decisively pulled the trigger——

"Boo!"

The crisp sound of gunshots echoed in the confined space, and Shang slowly knelt on the ground, and the red blood slowly spread under him.

The lead bullet pierced his heart. Xia didn’t shoot at his head. There was only one reason-his brain would not immediately stop functioning with the death of the owner, but those remaining in the brain Things, for Xia, can still come in handy...

Until he died, the expression on his face did not change... In the past, Xia has always been one of his best friends. Even among the nine of them, Xia and Shang have the best relationship. He Never thought that one day, a former friend would pull the trigger at him.

"You actually killed Shang?! Guards! Guards! Guards! Capture him—no, kill him!" A voice mixed with horror and horror rang out, but no matter how they shouted, there was no guard. When he rushed in, even the robot waiter who had just helped Shang wake up just stood quietly on one side, indifferent.

"Have you forgotten? According to the original contract, none of us can hurt anyone, so they won't obey this order." Xia's tone was extremely calm and composed, and he kept on with an indescribable look. The seven life-sustaining cabins underneath swept back and forth, and then walked towards the life-saving cabin step by step.

"you--"

"no, do not want!"

"But I am different, I am not a machine, so... I can renounce my vows at will..." Xia said calmly, and walked to the back of a life-sustaining capsule, unplugged and connected to the life-sustaining capsule. Pipelines and cables.

"Humanity will evolve, and we will be sublimated to a higher level of civilization... As for those who stand still... will only become the dust of history..."

"You can't do this! You... don't! Please! Don't!" This is a woman's voice. Because the pitch is too high, her voice synthesized by software has even been distorted, and it sounds extremely harsh. .

"Qing, in my memory, you have always been a dignified and demure woman, even after your face gradually ages, you are still so full of charm, but the way you look now is really too gaffe..." Xia Unplugged the cable behind the second survival capsule.

The scream disappeared suddenly.

"Do you know what you are doing? Have you considered the consequences?" The voice seemed relatively quiet. He was still trying to stop Xia's crazy behavior. However, for Xia, none of this had any effect...

"I know what I am doing. Of course I consider the consequences of doing this. Are you satisfied with this answer? Zhou?"

"wait wait wait--"

The sound stopped abruptly, and Xia threw the cable plug in her hand to the ground.

"Xia... I know we can't stop you anymore, but I have one request."

"Requirement? You can talk about it. Depending on the situation in the past, maybe I will consider it." Xia had already placed his hand on the cable of the fourth life-sustaining cabin and squatted halfway on the life-saving cabin. In front of him, through the transparent Plexiglas, he looked at the face of the person sleeping in the life-saving capsule.

"My family... and my descendants... I hope you can let them go..."

"I won't do anything to your family. Don't worry. In the future, it will be a world without pain, killing, and war... Everything will become as beautiful as an ideal... It's a pity that you don't It's here." After speaking, Xia unplugged the cable, the densely flashing lights on the side of the fourth life-sustaining capsule gradually went out, and the face of the body lying in the life-sustaining capsule gradually turned red. .

The oxygen supply has been cut off, and it only takes a few tens of seconds, the bloodshot face will turn pale again, and his brain will completely stop working.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it." Xia stood up, beckoned to the robot standing next to him, and gave an instruction. The robot immediately slid to the Shang's body, using a high-speed handle. The rotating circular saw saw off Shang's head, then cut open the skull, took out the entire brain completely, and put it into a glass cylinder filled with transparent liquid.

The bodies and brains of the other seven people are still connected to the computer. Xia can directly access the information in their brains through the computer, but the quotient that has come out of the survival capsule is different. He wants to get the information in his head. Things, you need to perform some more complicated operations.

"Shang, you guy... I really like to trouble me..."

Looking at the brain floating in the glass tank, Xia smiled and shook his head, walked to the front of the last three life-saving capsules, and said--

"How about, do you have anything else to say in the end?"

"No, if this is the doomed end of mankind..."

"How can it be the end? This is a new era, a new beginning... Humans will be evolved, and the result of evolution is to abandon this fragile and cumbersome body-the body is a cage that imprisons our future. , If we don’t break this cage, we will never be the top civilization in the universe..."

Xia suddenly took out a folding knife from his pocket, opened the blade, and slashed across his arm. Suddenly, bright red blood flowed out of the wound and dripped to the ground.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed because of the pain, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he pulled out a crazy-looking smile: "Look, how fragile this body is, it will bleed, it will hurt, it will Death... what a useless thing is this. In order to protect this shell, we must wear thick protective clothing even when we leave the atmosphere. Why can we become the masters of the world?"

Throwing the bloody jackknife on the ground, Xia tore a corner of her shirt from the top and bottom of her shirt, and hastily wrapped the wound on her arm.

"Remember that night a few decades ago? At the beginning of 2019, we received multiple repetitive electromagnetic signals from the distant universe, and in June 2022, the pulse signal appeared again, and we could almost confirm it at that time. , This pulse signal originated from a certain civilization in a corner of the distant universe... However, do we dare to reply to this signal? We dare not at all-the history of mankind is only a few million years, when we are When a little bit of technological progress is complacent, other civilizations have already broken the boundaries of space and time. Looking at the whole world, we are just a low-level and backward primitive civilization."

Xia raised her arms, clenched her fists, and walked briskly back and forth, the heels of her leather boots knocked on the metal floor with a crisp sound——

"It is this body that restricts our development. In our history, there have been so many amazing people, but no matter how talented they are, his life span is only a few decades... Ten years is too short to do anything at all, and time will bury their achievements, just like the mud bury their bones, how many discoveries that are enough to change human beings are ignored and rejected by stupid people... You Have you ever thought that if you give those great men in the history of science enough time..."

"You calm down, you should think about it..."

"I'm calm! How many times do you want me to repeat?! Yes, the life-sustaining capsule does extend our lives, but we can't survive forever. Moreover, based on your current state, every time your consciousness changes from chaos Awakening in the process is equivalent to consuming the remaining life. How many years do you think you can live? Ten years? Twenty years? This time... is far from enough!"

"But as long as humanity does not perish..."

"We should believe in ourselves, instead of entrusting the future to those who have not yet been born!" Xia interrupted the person's voice again, "Well, since you don't mean to change your mind... Then, never leave this world. Well... my former friend."

Xia did not continue to drag, and quickly unplugged the cables connected to the last three life-sustaining capsules. Finally, all life-sustaining capsules in the "core area" ceased operation, and the original batch of "organizations" was created. The legendary character also truly fell asleep...

Only this time, they would never wake up again.

Xia seems to have just gone through a long marathon, with both hands propped on the hatch of one of the life-saving capsules, bends over and gasps for breath... His body that relies on drugs to restore youth is rapidly aging. A large number of cells are dying every minute, and the number of new cells is far from filling the gap.

He doesn’t have much time. It only takes one year at most. His appearance will turn into an old man with gray hair, wrinkled skin, and rickety spine. In another two years, he will need to rely on a ventilator and life support device. In order to barely maintain the normal operation of the body, and after three years, this body will turn his will into dust...

Thinking of this, Xia's deep dislike for the human body couldn't help but intensify a bit.

"This damn cage..."

His breathing gradually calmed down, and Xia straightened up, but his gaze stayed on one of the life-saving capsules.

This is a life-sustaining capsule in a closed state, covered with a thin layer of dust. The body lying in this life-sustaining capsule was thrown into the incinerator more than ten years ago. , And the "soul" of that person has always been alive in this world.

"Qin... you know, how I envied your ability..." Xia muttered while looking at the life-saving cabin. Then, his narrow eyes narrowed... …

"It's just not anymore. You didn't break free from this cage, you just switched from one prison to another... you poor... prisoner..."

...

...

Riding on the elevator, Xia returned to the basalt secret room directly above the core area. He just showed up when the old speaker hurriedly greeted him——

"My lord, I just received the emergency distress signal from the core area, but the signal was cut off in less than a second, and the passage to the core area was also locked. It was not opened until you came out. in the end……"

Before the speaker had finished speaking, Xia glanced at him lightly. With just one glance, the speaker felt that the remaining words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't vomit half of it.

"They are dead, all dead."

"You...what did you say?"
