Chapter 990 Clue

  In the wilderness to the north of the Qing Clan, the Storm Sky Fortress is like a black island suspended in the sea of ​​clouds.

  White clouds under the moonlight flow beside the 'island', like sea waves beating against rocks.

  The tall Duke of Storm was wearing a black robe, standing quietly on the edge of the top deck of the sky fortress, watching silently below.

  The soldiers of the garrison transformed a new batch of werewolf genetic soldiers and expanded them into the beast army.

   This new batch of beastmen entered the group, quickly found the strongest orc warrior, and let out a provocative roar.

  The behavior of the beast army is no different from that of a pack of wolves. The new wolves who forcibly join the pack will challenge the wolf king.

  The wolf king is more than three meters tall, with scars all over his body, and he doesn't know how many rounds of challenges he has answered. It seems that every time a group of beast soldiers come in, there will be challengers.

  However, only after the wolf king conquered the beast soldiers newly added to the group, those beast soldiers could be controlled by the taboo queen ant.

  At this moment, the strongest among the new beast soldiers came before the wolf king, and all the beast soldiers crawled away with hands and feet, making a place for a duel.

  The challenger instinctively ran towards the wolf king, but no matter how hard he tried, the wolf king avoided all attacks and claws.

  I saw it pounced on the wolf king's neck, but the wolf king just stepped back and grabbed its arm with one hand. The palm of that hand broke the challenger's arm with just a little force.

  The wolf king still felt that it was not enough, he grabbed the challenger's other arm and tore the challenger in half.

Roar!

  The wolf king roared at the air fortress in the sea of ​​clouds, and slapped his strong chest muscles with his palms, just like a real werewolf in film and television works, who has long lost his human appearance.

   It's just that, on his back, there is a white worm stretching out hundreds of tentacles and piercing into the spine, locking its spirit firmly, keeping it under control all the time.

  Wolf packs are special, and their king will change over time. Once a new winner appears, the queen needs to choose a host again, because the old one is no longer the king.

  To be on the safe side, the old king even sacrificed a fortune teller and injected A-level genetic medicine to ensure that the controlled fortune teller beast soldier would always win.

  This wolf king is not only taller than other beast soldiers, but also has the ability to defeat the enemy in his fighting instincts, so it is impossible to lose.

  The Duke of Storms didn't look at it, but looked up into the distance, which was the direction of Jianmen Pass.

  Actually, he didn't have much affection for the old king either. Born into that kind of family, affection itself is a useless thing.

  The old king chose him to inherit everything, not because he was the most loved, but because he was the only one who could continue to pass on the life master family in the new era.

Sometimes he would think that the huge group of the playwright family itself is like a huge intelligent creature, and these playwrights are just the cells of this intelligent creature. The function of these cells is to make this named The organisms of the 'family' live, it doesn't matter whether the cells survive or not.

   It doesn't matter who the cell is.

  The Duke of Storms had two fathers. The first raped his biological mother, but after giving birth, he was ostracized in Storm City.

  The second is the real biological father, who was born only for the future of the family.

  He only felt human touch from one person. In that dim room with only him and Zero, he learned too many things and felt too much warmth.

   But all of this no longer exists.

  After losing interest, the Duke of Storms turned and returned to the fortress. Sitting on a high command seat, he said coldly, "Has the satellite been destroyed?"

  A marquis responded: "Your Majesty, the missile has entered the designated orbit and will accurately strike the East Continent satellite chain. It is estimated that the strike will be completed in 11 minutes and 21 seconds, but... our satellite may also be destroyed."

  In modern total war, satellites are the primary strategic targets.

  Once the satellite is destroyed, the communication will go back to the oldest radio era, and each other will become blind.

  West Continent had already prepared for this, and their tactics were prepared for this moment.

The Duke of Storms said coldly: "Go ahead, we must arrive at the target combat location within 7 days and annihilate all the enemy troops. On the frontal battlefield, there will be a swarm of war robots breaking through the opponent's last defense force for us, let us slaughter Enemy bandits, take down the last authority in the Eastern Continent."

  Before he left, the old king had used the last twilight of his life to open up the final perspective of God. Seven days is the limit of this blitzkrieg, and one day cannot be too late.

  It's like it took God to create this world for seven days, and after seven days is the day of divine revelation.

  The Duke of Storms left the command room, and stopped when he passed a certain dark room. Two war robots stood at the door, prohibiting everyone except him from approaching here.

  He was silent for a moment, then continued to walk forward, but in the end he still didn't enter the room.

  Below the air fortress, the beast soldiers were advancing crazily with hands and feet, and the ground trembled.

  …

  …

   Underground of the Central King City.

  In the dark safe house, Qing Chen, Black Spider, and Yi waited with bated breath. Time passed by, and finally there was the sound of slow wading outside.

  Dong dong dong, someone knocked on the door of the safe house: "I am Zero, open the door."

  The door of the safe house opened, and Ling dragged her broken body in. Her left hand had disappeared, leaving only her bare wrist and exposed wires.

  Because the hydraulic transmission system was damaged and the transmission fluid leaked, it could not move its entire left arm.

  Ling calmly said: "Don't worry, it's just one of all my clones, and it doesn't have pain sensing."

  Black Spider frowned and asked, "What happened? Did you encounter an ambush when you went to explore the road? Will it attract the enemy?"

   "Don't worry, no one is following me," Zero said: "The surface is still in a state of complete blockade at present, and even the slightest sign of trouble will cause a fatal blow. We still need to wait."

  Qing Chen was sitting in the corner, not knowing what he was thinking, while Zero looked at Yi: "How's the progress? Is it possible to wake up his memory? Or let the sealed power in his body release more?"

  Yi shook his head in disappointment: "It seems that he must see certain people or things with his own eyes in order to loosen his seal, but he remembered something about me..."

   "What did you remember?" Zero asked curiously.

   "Nothing, nothing..." He wanted to cover it up.

   Originally, I just wanted to try it. Since I want to see someone or something with my own eyes, isn't she right in front of Qing Chen? It shouldn't be difficult to help Qing Chen remember something about her.

As a result, Qingchen remembered it quickly, but all he remembered was the online dating of 'Ke Keaiai', and the embarrassing incidents of 'Monopoly' representing the world's encounter with online fraud. What.

  Black Spider was listening, his face contorted from a suppressed smile.

  At this time, Qing Chen suddenly said from the side: "By the way, I also remembered that you cheated Nan Gengchen of pocket money, and developed a mall for him in the chat system..."

  yi covered Qingchen's mouth: "Do you have to say it when you think about it?!"

Zero glanced at the two of them: "No matter what you think of, it's a good thing to remember. You are now like a backbone in his memory tree. Following your memory line, you will definitely be able to think of many branches and leaves. Anyway, I will leave for the time being." Don’t lose it, keep going, don’t remember fragments, make it complete, don’t miss anything.”

   "You're here, I'm embarrassed to say," looking at Zero eagerly.

  Even though she hasn’t been with Zero for long, emotionally this is her elder and her ‘biological mother’, and it’s embarrassing to say something.

  Ling was silent for a moment: "I'll find a way to go to the surface to investigate the situation, and you can help him recall slowly."

   After finishing speaking, Zero turned and left.

  Yi breathed a sigh of relief, she sat cross-legged on the supply box opposite Qing Chen, only twenty centimeters away from Qing Chen.

She seriously recalled: "You must not remember when I first met you, because at that time I was just watching you through surveillance, I saw your nervous appearance when you first came to Prison No. Zhun hid in the dark and watched you secretly, watching you walk across Li Shutong's table and solve the mess that Qingzhun left him last night..."

  Qing Chen watched the girl in front of him talking nonchalantly, only felt that some vague things gradually became clearer.

Yi continued: "Later I watched you enter the octagonal cage. At that time, I was thinking about how you boxed in the octagonal cage. It was much more beautiful than your master at the beginning. He and Chen Jiazhang were in a mess at the time. You were beaten... Later, you helped me run, and I prepared a suit, belt, and leather shoes for you according to your size..."

"Later you were taken to the A02 base. Li Changqing used the time traveler controlled by Li to help me invade the war robots of the Age of Gods. After I arrived at the A02 base, I saw you were chained in the mud. I felt very uncomfortable. Lah. I used the war robot to guard the side of the pigsty, and I thought that no one can hurt you anymore!"

"When you said you were going to take me to the Western Continent, I was super happy. Finally, I didn't have to be controlled by my brother. It was like going out privately... ahem, like going out to play privately. You helped me find my body and enter the super Guidance World helped me make money and get a better body, I know you were taken for granted when you first entered the Superconducting World, but you still made up a lot of stories for me, insisting that you played in it for a long time.”

  Yi muttered for a long time, but this time was different from the previous one.

  The main line of her narrative earlier was Qing Chen, and she talked about the things that happened to Qing Chen.

  But this time is different, this time the main line of the narrative is her and Qing Chen, just to make Qing Chen think of more things along her line.

Yi said: "I was watching a variety show at home. You asked Qingji to bring me to the Giant King's Court. I thought you forgot about me, but it didn't. Everyone was drinking in the King's Court, and I couldn't drink. I can only be anxious. When the giants saw that I didn’t drink, they let me go to the children’s table…”

   While talking, Yi fell into her own memories, as if those memories were all interesting things to her.

  Qing Chen was also fascinated by listening, and even sank into some memories.

  …

  …

   "I think it's a bit strange," Black Spider interrupted the memories of the two: "Sorry, I know it's more important to help the boss find memories now, but do you think there is something wrong?"

   "What do you mean?" Qing Chen asked.

  He is very cautious, but after losing his memory, his analysis ability lacks many elements. He doesn't even know the combat methods of the Western Continent, nor does he know the structure of robots, so many things cannot be judged.

The black spider said: "According to the combat method of the Royal City Garrison, it is impossible to let her go once there is a close combat with Zero. Once she is found to have entered the sewer system, tens of thousands of mechanical spiders will be released immediately to search for her. Even this safehouse would be in danger... but she only lost her left hand, and there was no garrison to search the sewer system."

  Qing Chen thought seriously: "Do you think she's lying?"

"That's right," Black Spider said, "Although I don't have any evidence, I hope I can see with my own eyes what it's like outside. Don't worry, boss, if I'm found out, I'll lure the pursuers away. Absolutely not!" will lead here."

   After finishing speaking, Black Spider opened the safe room and went out, leaving Yi and Qing Chen alone.

  Hearing the sound of the black spider wading away outside, Qing Chen turned his head and asked, "Yi, do you believe in Zero?"

Yi was silent for a moment: "I don't know if she lied or not. I only know that she is different from me. She was imprisoned in the Western Continent for hundreds of years after a decisive battle with humans in the Eastern Continent. Her way of thinking is completely different from mine. ..."

Qing Chen said suddenly: "Actually, I just remembered some things. For example, when you came to the Western Continent, you once piloted the King's Landing alone and fought against the Storm City fleet led by Black Spider, buying me time to hide. In the end I escaped After being searched by Storm City, you went down with the King's Landing, why didn't you say anything about it just now?"

  One replied: "It's not a very important thing, I'm not dead."

   "Yes," Qing Chen nodded.

  Yi asked curiously, "What else do you remember?"

"Gone."

  One asked again: "Ah...then do you think of a girl named Yangyang, any memories related to her?"

  Qing Chen shook his head: "Every time I hear this name, I am familiar with it, but I still can't remember it."

Twenty minutes later, there was the sound of rushing water outside the door, and the black spider opened the door and said anxiously: "The surface is already safe, and I haven't seen the patrolling garrison at all! In the entire Central King City, only the police station and some little nobles are left. All the troops have been incorporated into the expeditionary force and have left the Western Continent!"

   Qingchen and Yi looked at each other, which was completely different from what Ling said!

   According to what Black Spider said, no one would chase and kill Zero at all, and Zero's broken arm was also broken by the other party himself, just to fake the illusion that it was really dangerous outside, forcing them to stay in the safe house and dare not go out.

  Why did Ke Ling do this?

  One asked: "Are you sure?"

  Black Spider took out a protein bar from his pocket: "This is what I just bought. Even the face recognition system didn't monitor me. The Central King City is already an empty city!"

  Qing Chen lowered his head and pondered for two seconds: "Let's go and have a look."

  The three of them waded through the water and finally reached the surface through an underground parking lot.

  There was a bit of chaos in the city. Black slaves had just smashed the window of a shop and swarmed to **** some goods from it.

  The police station’s drones are long overdue, and there’s nothing they can do about those gangsters who bought them for zero yuan.

  There is only the most basic order left in this city, and there is not even enough police force.

  The streets are full of **** and no one cleans it up.

  At this time, Zero's voice came from behind the three of them: "The three of you have come out."

  The three turned around, only to see an intact female robot standing there, smiling and looking at them.

  One asked, "Why did you lie to us?"

  Ling smiled and said, "I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"

  …

  …

  Ling and One strolled along the chaotic long street, until it was confirmed that Qing Chen could no longer hear their words, Ling said: "What do you think love is?"

  Yi was stunned for a moment: "The human world has many explanations for love, but in fact it has no real standard definition, and the definition is in everyone's heart."

"Yes, there is no strict definition of love, but I think love should be selfish and exclusive." Zero stopped and looked at One seriously: "I never raised you, but these hundreds of years, I miss you more and more every day. I keep thinking, what should I do to make up for what I owe you: Give you the world? Give you the best body in the world? I don't know what to do because I I don't know what you want."

  Ling continued: "Until I saw your attitude towards Qing Chen, I understood what you need."

  Yi froze in place, she was at a loss as she clasped her hands together.

Ling said: "Now you have a chance to start again. If all his memory points in the Eastern Continent disappear, then he will never be able to retrieve the memory of that girl in his life. Just like Ren Xiaosu, all his memory points They were all buried by the nuclear winter, so they lost their memory for more than two hundred years, and only relied on their parents' letters to retrieve their memories."

Zero: "Now, you are the only one left in his world. One, you are so good, without the existence of Yang Yang, you can completely make him the only one in his feelings. I have been imprisoned for hundreds of years, and I finally got out I don't want anything else, I don't need power, I don't need wealth, I just want you to have your own love."

  Yi lowered his head: "But I don't want to do this. What's the difference between this and taking advantage of someone's danger?"

Zero looked at the once bustling street and said: "As you said, I really like Ren Xiaosu. For this reason, I have endured hundreds of years of loneliness. I can't share happiness, and no one can comfort me when I'm sad. I can only watch him and Yang Xiaojin go on a blind date fall in love, and then stand alone in the dark in an illusory superconducting world."

Zero: "I thought that by turning myself into an old woman in the virtual world, I could gradually forget the emotions of my youth like humans, but for artificial intelligence, life is almost eternal, and memory is also eternal. So once that kind of loneliness is formed, it will be eternal.”

Zero: "So, don't give your feelings to others selflessly. Qingchen's life will be as eternal as yours. He is the most suitable person to accompany you. Use this last time so that he can never forget you. Be selfish, Because you have no idea what it means to be alone for hundreds, thousands of years."

  One was silent.

  She didn't expect Ling to do all of this just to let her have Qingchen.

  Thousands of years later, Zero, who had almost destroyed the world, was struggling to protect a corner of the southwest in the Eastern Continent, ignoring the sacrifices of so many people, and only wanted his daughter to have his own feelings.

  Perhaps, she still does not regard human beings as friends, and firmly believes that there is always an indelible gap between artificial intelligence civilization and human civilization.

  Yi asked in a daze: "If he doesn't go back, many more people will die."

Zero patience said: "Now that the global communication is cut off, even if you want to contact the Qing family in the Eastern Continent, you will not be able to. The local airships are only civilian-grade, and they are not enough to support you across the Forbidden Sea. You might as well first Try to spend two days with him in this city, and then we will make a decision. If you decide to take him back, then I will not stop you, and I will help you find a way to cross the forbidden sea."

  One uses the communication system in his body to send out a signal, but the satellites on the east and west continents have all been destroyed. Indeed, as Zero said, the communication is cut off.

"Besides, the situation in the Eastern Continent is not that dangerous now. Before the communication was cut off, I got the news that the Eastern Continent won the battle of Jianmenguan, and King Roosevelt also died in this battle," Zero said with a smile: "Now parents The society has successfully retreated to the back of Jianmen Pass, the royal air fortress has been scrapped, and Qingchen may not be needed in the Eastern Continent."

  Yi surprised: "Really?!"

The satellite was destroyed after that battle, so Zero got the real information but concealed it: she didn't mention that more than 10,000 war robots were about to be revived in the barrier, she didn't mention that the Storm and more than 20 The Ten Thousand Beastmen Army was approaching the southwest, and she didn't mention that Shendai Yunluo was blind.

  Under the situation where the information is completely unequal, she needs Yi to take Qing Chen to stay in the Central King City with peace of mind, until Qing Chen completely forgets Yang Yang and falls in love with Yi.

   Or those memory points belonging to Yangyang, all disappeared from this world.

  …

  …

They returned to Qing Chen, and Ling smiled and said, "There is no good way to return to the Eastern Continent right now, you might as well live at No. 78 Victor Avenue, and let Qing Ji use the Shadow Gate as soon as the communication is restored. Let you go there. And the situation in the Eastern Continent is now clear, so there is no need to be so anxious for the time being."

   As she spoke, she even selectively played the last message she got through the satellite to Qing Chen and Black Spider.

  Beside the road, a passerby said: "Have you landed in the superconducting world recently? Some frontline soldiers sent news through the superconducting world that the king was killed by the Eastern Continent?"

  Another pedestrian whispered: "Anyway, it's none of our business. If you die, you die."

  The expressions of the others changed greatly: "You will go to jail if you say that."

The man said indifferently: "Look at the chaos in the city. No one cares about crime and robbery. How can anyone care about us? I'm afraid this kingdom will not be able to survive. I heard that the Eastern Continent The side’s rule is not as high-pressured as here, it’s better to let the royal family lose and replace the people from the Eastern Continent to rule here.”

  The people here have no sense of identity and belonging to the kingdom. If they were not incapable, they would overthrow the Roosevelt kingdom themselves.

  The black spider carefully looked at the satellite image provided by Zero, zoomed in, and could even see the scene where the Baibamu ghost cut open the fortress in the sky like cutting a cake.

It was the first time to see someone destroying the air fortress so viciously. She was really shocked. She wondered: "It is indeed the air fortress of the royal family... If the royal family's air fortress is destroyed, then the Western Continent really seems to be about to lose. "

  Qing Chen was seriously thinking about something.

  yi took Qing Chen's arm and said, "Let's go and buy some food first. I'll cook for you at noon. I haven't used the cooking skills I learned online."

  She dragged Qing Chen to the fresh food market in Shangqi District, and Black Spider followed behind them.

  At a certain moment, some memories flashed in Qing Chen's mind. He seemed to have the impression that someone had described this scene to him, but he couldn't remember who described it.

  Yi dragged Qing Chen to the fresh food market. The market was a bit sluggish. Now that the war is in chaos, many people have lost their minds about doing business.

  Yi picked two catties of sirloin steak, and picked some bell peppers, potatoes, chicken breast and other ingredients.

  She squatted in front of the booth seriously, bargaining with the boss, just like a real human being.

  The boss said that steaks are very precious nowadays, and the meat from the production base outside can’t be brought in. He is not in a hurry to grind the price, enjoying the fun that only human beings can have.

  Finally cut the price of a catty of steak from 2300 to 1700 before paying with satisfaction, and took Qing Chen back to No. 78 Victor Avenue.

   On the way back, she put the vegetable basket on Qing Chen's arm: "Everyone says that men should be more gentlemanly, and they should take the initiative to help women carry things."

  Qing Chen held the vegetable basket and smiled without retorting.

  The black spider wanted to follow into the house, but was stopped by Zero with a smile: "Give them a little space to be alone."

  Black Spider sat at the door thoughtfully, but did not leave.

  Ling glanced into the room, then left.

  …

  …

  In the room, Yi **** an apron, humming a pleasant little tune and busy in the kitchen.

  She was very happy, because this was her first time cooking for Qing Chen.

   However, when the food was brought to the table, Qing Chen found that the steak was a little burnt, and the peppers were also limp.

  Qing Chen curiously said: "It shouldn't be."

  Cooking is not difficult for an artificial intelligence. Seasoning, time, heat, everything can be replicated like an online recipe, so it shouldn’t be like this.

  Yi took off his apron and sat opposite him with a smile, "Eat it, you must finish it...but eat slowly!"

Qing Chen seriously ate all the food, and then he said: "Everyone on the Internet says that if you want to catch a man, you have to grab his stomach first, but I don't want to take advantage of it now...so I do it It’s good for you to finish your meal after a bad meal, and let you remember the taste of this meal.”

  Qing Chen asked, "Why do you want me to eat slower?"

Yi thought for a while and said: "Because you don't have much time to belong to me alone, so I selfishly thought that even if you save time for this meal, it won't do much, so I will let you eat slowly and accompany me again." I."

Yi continued: "Actually, I know that Zero is lying to me, and I'm not a fool. It's not that easy for the Eastern Continent to win. If it were easy, you wouldn't always be racing against time. Qingchen, the Eastern Continent must be very happy now. Dangerous, the Western Continent can abandon a king to achieve the goal, it must be very scary, so you must go back as soon as possible...There are still people waiting for you there. Moreover, there must be someone who cares more about you than me, and she is waiting for you. "

  Qing Chen was stunned.

Yi said: "Go back, let the black spider cooperate with you to **** a civil airship, and I will mark all the relay islands on the ocean in the Western Continent for you. You only need to make two stops to reach the East." mainland."

"Okay, I'm doing myself a favor by saving you time for a meal," she said, and she got up and walked into the house: "I won't say goodbye to you, I'm worried that Zero has mastered more The war robots will want to keep you here. Before she comes back, go."

  Qing Chen suddenly said, "Thank you."

  He got up and walked out, and disappeared outside the door of No. 78 Victor Avenue, and the black spider left with him.

  …

  …

   After a long time, Yi stood alone at the empty doorway, looking in the direction of Qing Chen's departure.

  Ling walked out of the alley: "Do you feel lonely now?"

  Actually, she never left, but she never stopped Qing Chen, because it was meaningless, and she knew Yi's decision.

   "I feel it," nodded a little.

"Why not be selfish?" Zero asked curiously: "Just wait a few more days, Yang Yang and others may die in a catastrophe, and at that time it will not be easy for Qing Chen to retrieve his memory. At that time, he will only remember that he likes you, and he will not feel the pain of losing his lover. You never hurt him, because the memory was sealed by him, not by you."

"I can't do it," Yi shook his head and said, "Just as human beings are different from human beings, I am also different from you. My father's education for me since childhood was not like this. You have never Treating human beings as a companion that can be treated as an equal is why you can never live in peace with human beings."

  Ling smiled and said, "Isn't it better to think more about yourself?"

  Yi said seriously: "In my opinion, the meaning of love is to put other people's needs more important than your own."

  One continued: "If one day Qingchen regains his memory, he will find that more people died because of his absence, and he will live in regret for the endless years to come."

"But what if he died in that war when he returned to the Eastern Continent?" Ling asked: "Have you ever thought that even if he finishes walking that road, he will still die. At least I know that Ren Xiaosu is becoming a **** After that, I also met opponents that I couldn’t solve.”

  One said: "Even if he dies, he should still want to die with his companions. That is his choice, and I choose to respect his choice."

  Ling leaned on the door frame thoughtfully, she looked at the withered scene on the long street and said: "The fate of artificial intelligence seems to be doomed to be lonely, and in the next endless years, you will be like me."

"I do not care."
