After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS
Chapter 398 Perfect World
At this time, Su Mo and Dongdong were just coming back from buying supplies.
After the outbreak of the Kuroshio War, the World Government over-issued currency to meet the needs of the war. Coupled with the increase in various production costs, demand exceeded supply and prices rose severely.
The factory-synthesized bread that originally could be bought with a few monthly coins is now sold for dozens or even hundreds.
Strategic materials such as sugar and various medicines have been placed under military control and cannot even be bought with money.
If you accidentally get sick these days, you either have to rely on your immunity to get through it, or find ways to use your connections to get medicine from the military control department.
If you are in poor health and have no connections, you can only wait for death in fear.
As Su Mo and Dong Dong were walking, a man in a gray coat hurried past them.
He went straight to the most crowded part of the crowd, and when the nearby soldiers were not paying attention, he took off his gray coat, revealing the black leather coat with a wolf head carved on it, and then began to shout:
"Fellow countrymen! Do not be silent any longer! While we bow our heads and remain silent, the Wolf Raid fighters are fighting for our future with their blood!"
"For a hundred years, giant companies have been riding on our heads and wantonly trampling on our dignity. As long as those jackals exist, our dignity will no longer exist!"
"Fight! Fellow countrymen! Fight for our loved ones and for our future children to live in a freer world!!!"
Before he could even shout a few words, nearby soldiers rushed over, pulled out their riot batons and hit him hard on the head and body, knocking him to the ground with blood all over his face.
Even though his hands were handcuffed and his neck was pinned down by a knee, he still screamed at the top of his lungs:
"Respond to the wolf attack! Fellow countrymen! Fight together! Never give up the struggle! Never give up the struggle!!!"
Soon, the man was put into a car with a hood on his head. The soldiers looked at everyone with ferocious eyes to warn them not to have any unrealistic ideas.
During this year, things like this happened from time to time, or even every day.
Those who dare to stand up are undoubtedly warriors and very brave.
But unfortunately, they are too scattered, with no unified command and no strong power of their own. In the end, they can only be like now, a flash in the pan after the enthusiasm.
With the soldiers' quick suppression, another flame was extinguished.
The pedestrians around lowered their heads and walked away, not daring to clash with the soldiers. However, even more anger accumulated in their sidelong glances.
Su Mo and Dong Dong were nearby at the time and witnessed the fire being started and then extinguished.
Dongdong is 18 years old after the Chinese New Year. She has finally grown up and has transformed from the childish little girl into a teenage girl.
It may be that girls develop early, or it may be the effect of the replacement prosthesis, but she has not grown taller in the past few years, and her appearance and figure have not changed. She still looks petite and delicate, exactly the same as she was back then.
But after years of trials and tribulations, she has lost her former impetuousness and become much more stable.
What just happened happened right in front of her. If it were her three years ago, even if she didn't stand up for the sake of the overall situation, she would definitely not be able to hide the anger on her face.
Now she just watched silently as the man was taken into the car and drove away. Through her pair of indifferent eyes, no one could see what she was thinking.
At this moment, Dongdong felt a hand gently on his shoulder.
Su Mo looked at her with a gentle smile on his face: "I suddenly remembered that you will become an adult after the Chinese New Year. I'm sorry, it's been so chaotic these days that I didn't have the chance to give you a proper coming-of-age ceremony."
Dongdong smiled and shook his head: "It's good to be a child. I don't want to grow up yet."
Su Mo joked, "That won't work. I'm slowly becoming an uncle. It's not fair to me if you stay young forever. You have to grow old with me."
Dongdong chuckled and said angrily, "No, don't take me with you when you get old. I plan to be a beautiful girl all my life."
As they chatted, Su Mo seemed to have thought of something, squatted down and patted his shoulder: "It's been a long time since I carried you like before. Come on, get on, I'll carry you home today."
Dongdong stretched out his hand and pushed him: "Hey, how old are you? You're still carrying me around. I'm not a child."
Su Mo: "You said you don't want to grow up and want to be a child forever. Come up~"
He grabbed Dongdong's waist without saying a word and lifted her up like a pig, making her burst into laughter.
Dongdonghuan hugged Su Mo's neck, got into a position and lay on his back, resting his little head on his shoulder, feeling the broad shoulders.
Halfway through, Dongdong looked again in the direction where the man had just been taken away. His figure was no longer visible, and only an empty street was left.
The curve of Dongdong's lips gradually disappeared, and his eyes became deep.
"Boss, we shouldn't be silent anymore."
Su Mo just walked forward with Dongdong on his back. After an unknown amount of time, Dongdong heard the answer from his mouth.
"I know."
When Su Mo and Dong Dong returned to the Edge Building, KK went straight to Su Mo and said hurriedly, "Brother, the conscription order has officially come down."
Su Mo took the document and took a look at it.
As mentioned before, the World Government Army is in a tight spot in the war with Wolf Raid. On the one hand, in order to replenish troops, and on the other hand, in order to make Wolf Raid have some concerns, they have begun compulsory conscription.
Since Zhou Hannian's downfall and the Death Scythe Mercenary Group was ordered to disband, the Edge Mercenary Group has become the largest mercenary group in the entire Crescent City and even in the entire World Government territory.
Although the combat mode of mercenaries is different from that of regular troops, compared with soldiers recruited from civilians, mercenaries have stronger and more professional combat qualities and are excellent candidates for supplementing manpower.
During this year, many mercenary groups from all over the country were recruited to the front lines.
Due to Luo's previous arrangement, the people who took over Crescent City after the fall of the original city council leadership were all "their own people". The successor to the city council, Styenkov, had been under pressure and did not include the Crescent City mercenary group in the conscription list, which bought Sumer more transition time.
However, now that the transition period has passed, the court has gradually parachuted in personnel over the past three years to familiarize itself with and take over local government affairs, and has now begun to intervene in core matters.
Tomorrow, Crescent City will welcome a new city council speaker, and Schenkov will be transferred to the Upper Court Council to hold a high-ranking but powerless position.
This was both a promotion and a demotion to sideline him and a way to break up the complicated forces in Crescent City to make it easier to regain control of the city.
Mercenary groups such as Bianbian and Moxue will be transferred to the front line to participate in the fight against Wolf Raid under the command of the regular army.
Su Mo handed the conscription documents back to KK: "Deal with it as you wish. Gather everyone and prepare to go to the front."
KK's eyes flashed with some deep meaning, and he nodded and said, "I understand."
Sumer entered the elevator and went to the basement.
As we all know, the Edge Building has a total of 100 floors, 88 floors above ground and 12 floors underground.
There was a saying in the old days that land area is one of the indicators to measure a country's strategic potential. This saying is also applicable when it is reduced to the level of power.
The potential of a force is closely related to its "territory".
Something like the Edge Building is, at most, just one building. It has a limited space for living, equipment, and storage of supplies, and there are only so many things that can be done with it, so the upper limit of its potential is there.
If you want to continue to improve your potential, you must expand your territory.
The usual practice is to expand outward, such as contracting several industrial parks, or setting up branches to divide up business and equipment.
But Sumer did not do that. His choice was to "expand downwards."
During these three years, due to the accumulation of technology and experience from previous beast crises, ground aviation technology has become increasingly mature in the hands of the future.
She used ground-based aviation technology to organize an engineering team and opened up an extremely large space under the Edge Building. The combined floor area of each floor was as large as the entire Lakeside Business District.
The reason why so much trouble is that Sumer had been planning a plan three years ago, a secret plan that could change the entire world.
Sumer arrived at the 12th underground floor and stopped in an aisle that looked nothing special.
He turned on his mobile phone to connect to the corresponding system, entered a command and password, and passed the biometric identification.
There was a sudden vibration in the aisle, and the whole corridor began to sink slowly.
This process lasted for a full minute until a hidden passage appeared at the end of the aisle. After Sumer walked out, the aisle rose back to its original position without leaving any trace.
Su Mo came to a steel gate with a fiery red umbrella logo engraved on it. After entering the gate, a huge space came into view.
The walls are lined with various high-tech devices and holographic display screens, flashing complex data and images.
In the center of the hall, there are rows of mechanical culture dishes. Each dish is more than two meters high, with a completely transparent shell and filled with nutrient solution that glows with a light blue light.
There is a humanoid creature floating inside the petri dish. The reason why they are not directly called "human" is that although they have a human appearance, their internal body has an inorganic structure similar to a machine. They have their eyes closed and are suspended in the light blue liquid, as if they are sleeping.
The number of these humanoid creatures is huge. This floor alone is so densely packed that you can't see the end of it. There are hundreds of floors like this space underground in the Edge Building.
At the end of this space, Qi Ling was standing there, looking up at something.
When Su Mo came over, she smiled sweetly: "You are here, Mo Tong is not awake yet."
In front of the two people there was a special glass cabin with a sleeping girl suspended inside. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as porcelain, and looked crystal clear after being soaked in light blue liquid.
She closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled from time to time on her face. There were several cable tubes connected to her spine behind her, as if some kind of biological data transmission was being carried out.
This little girl was none other than Su Motong.
Su Motong is not a human being, but a construct. The human form she presents is just a mimicry based on her own perception of the surroundings.
The development cycle of the construct is also different from that of humans. She looked like a three or four-year-old girl before, but now, three years later, she looks like a human in her teens.
Three years ago, ever since Luo handed the human documents to Su Mo, he has been letting Su Motong absorb the knowledge in it.
The content of human documents is so vast that it includes all the documentary materials in human history. It is impossible for any individual human being to absorb all the knowledge contained therein.
Even someone like Sumer who has hyperthymesia cannot do this. He may be able to remember everything he sees, but it is impossible for him to read all the information in human documents with his naked eyes.
Just like when you count with your mouth, starting from 1 and counting upwards, you will never be able to count to trillion seconds even in your entire life.
Low learning efficiency is determined by the nature of carbon-based organisms.
But as a construct, Su Motong's learning method is different from that of humans. She can directly connect at the data level and input knowledge into consciousness in digital form.
The learning efficiency of this method is unimaginable for humans. To make a vivid analogy, humans need to read a book page by page, but she only needs to press CTRL+C and then CTRL+V the corresponding data.
Su Motong now carries the entire human document in her mind. She understands everything in human history, can see through the essence behind every event, and is familiar with the objective laws of all things. She has both flawless logical thinking and the romance and sensibility of a poet who can appreciate the beauty of all things.
Omniscience, omnipotence, the combination of absolute rationality and absolute sensibility
In literary works, this type of description is often used to describe a type of existence - God.
Qi Ling looked at the sleeping Su Mo Tong and asked thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, I don't quite understand why you spend so much time letting Mo Tong absorb humanities knowledge?"
"If we just want to enhance our strength, the technical knowledge alone is more than enough. In fact, we have already mastered the blood code, prosthetics, and spiritual brain technology from human documents two years ago. We have the capital to overturn everything."
"But you keep dragging it out, asking Mo Tong to study history, read prose, and read poetry in human documents. I don't quite understand the point of this."
Su Mo smiled and said, "Although Mo Tong is a construct, she is also my child. I don't want her world to be filled with only cold technical knowledge. I want her to know all the true feelings, good and evil, beauty and ugliness in the world. Only in this way can she live a complete life."
Qi Ling is a smart and sensitive person. She can tell that Su Mo's words are half true and half false, with true feelings and concealment.
But she couldn't tell what the specific meaning was.
Qi Ling has been with Su Mo for so many years and already knows him very well. He will definitely tell you what he wants to say, and it is useless to ask if he doesn't want to say it.
She didn't say anything more, but leaned over and kissed Su Mo on the lips: "Everything will be turned upside down tomorrow. I will debug the Black Zetsu virus again to make sure there are no loopholes."
When Qi Ling left, Su Mo still stood there, watching her back.
It was not until the figure disappeared at the end of the corridor that he murmured faintly:
"Zero I want to give you a perfect world"
