dramatic death

18:05, ring road

The mobile terminal on the bearded man's wrist suddenly exploded, and Tong Shuyao, who was sleeping beside him, knocked his head on the car window in shock.The sun was setting and the daylight was hazy, and the people on the road around the city were vague. Tong Shuyao sat up with his head grinning, staring at the rapidly reversing road outside the window for a while, like a young child who had been trafficked.

He hasn't recovered yet, with "Who am I, where am I, and what are we going to do?" written all over his face. Fortunately, the seat belt produced by the Academy of Sciences is strong and firm, otherwise Dr. Tong might have opened the door and got off the car. Inertia threw him two miles away, crashing directly into the fence of the ring road to his death.

The bearded man rolled his eyes, raised his hand to turn on the autopilot of the hover car, and locked the door on Tong Shuyao's side by the way—the hover car of the Academy of Sciences usually does not automatically lock when driving for the convenience of escape. He lacked to open the door to ventilate in the middle of driving, but the bearded man always felt that Tong Shuyao might be an accident.

Tong Shuyao was still in a daze, and didn't have the energy to protest this "special" treatment.The bearded man pressed his trembling wrist, leaned on the back of the chair and knocked on the light screen, and a new text message popped up on the virtual light screen directly connected to the front window of the car. The sender was Chen Yan——the original box garden plan The insider of the third experiment, now the Academy of Sciences is responsible for monitoring the human flesh locators of Christie and Yintong.

Mr. Chen has always been a very busy person. He not only has to complete the regular reporting work of the Academy of Sciences, try to appease Christie's various petty tempers, but also be responsible for adjusting the experimental product A3206——Yintong from the manic state when necessary. The office staff at the tower confirmed the security protocol.

Generally, he would not take the initiative to contact the Academy of Sciences. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, it was too troublesome.Chen Yan's superficial identity is Christie's manager, and he is too busy with social activities, so he has no time to chat with the white coats who only care about the experimental data.

So when the bearded man saw the sender's name clearly, he even suspected that the other party had misremembered the reporting time.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise, raised his hand and clicked on the text message with [unread].

There is a photo in the text message.

To be precise, it was a photo sent to Yintong from the scene of the crime.

The soft light of the setting sun still remained on the dark red background, and the petite girl fell in the middle of the flower bed with her limbs twisted.Dirty blood spread under her temples, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, as if she had fallen into a sweet dream.

She appeared to be asleep.

It seemed to be really dead in the muddy flower bed.

Tong Shuyao held the seat belt on his chest and stared wide-eyed, looking at the bearded man and the light screen, tongue-tied in surprise.Dr. Bai in the back seat didn't have any special reaction. He just took his eyes out of the notebook on his lap for a while, froze for a while, glanced at the sender above, and looked at the notes full of annotations with a blank expression. .

He didn't speak, but the bearded man sighed.

"I didn't expect him to post all of this," the bearded man leaned against the back and glanced at Dr. Bai with his head down in the rearview mirror. "But it's already here, and it's useless to keep the cards."

"There is no hole card at all," Bai Yanxing didn't look up, sliding his fingertips across the edge of the page, and carefully opened a page, "The so-called hole card is just a tool for their imagination. The fear of wild animals usually comes from the unknown, once they try to hit Cage, and you'll find that the chains on the cage are just toys that can be easily broken."

"You can't imagine a living being with thinking longing for freedom. Once it has experienced it, it will never want to be locked in a cage."

"...she shouldn't have been put in a cage," the bearded man gave a short laugh, "it's a pity that we humans are all mortal bodies, we will starve to death if we eat a few meals, and we will live longer if we live a few years longer. There is no way forward without self-sacrifice.”

Bai Yanxing flicked the pages of the book for a moment.He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just shook his head: "...This metaphor is not appropriate."

The bearded man stopped talking.

He was bored by this bad conversation for a while, and he wanted to open the window to smoke a cigarette, but he was afraid that the great scientists in the car would not be able to bear the smell, so he simply took two mints from his pocket, intending to chew them to sober up.

Who would have thought that one would be unlucky enough to eat a piece of candy without being able to tear open the package, the bearded man and the small sawtooth struggled for a long while, and were about to slay the queen with all their might, but were snatched away by the little claws who had been waiting for a long time.

Only then did he realize that Dr. Ganqing Bai's junior brother was still tied to the passenger seat by a seat belt.

Tong Shu huddled in the corner, reached out and tore off the wrapping paper, squeezed out the candy, and put it back into the bearded man's hand.He blinked, with a three-point smile on his brows, and his wet eyes were amazingly bright from bottom to top. When he glanced at it suddenly, he thought that the little squirrel in the zoo couldn't stand the hunger and sneaked out to seek food.

"What were you discussing with my senior brother just now?"

The bearded man was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him really didn't know anything about the past.

Tong Shuyao came late.When he entered the Academy of Sciences, the third Hakoniwa experiment had ended for more than half a year. The few living subjects were either on the run or hadn't been dug out yet. Help the country folks take the lead.

Dr. Tong is young and inexperienced, and with the title of “Dr. Hospital.

What a little genius, he fell asleep in a special psychiatric department before he had time to shine and heat. If Christie hadn't rushed to the doctor with Yintong disease later, he still doesn't know which department he hid in and was not dug out.

So strictly speaking, Tong Shuyao really doesn't know what they are talking about.

The bearded man raised his head and glanced at Bai Yanxing from the rearview mirror. The young and promising Dr. Bai was obsessed with research, and seemed to not care about Tong Shuyao's actions to inquire about information.He chewed the mint candy and coughed. Before he could speak, Dr. Tong peeled off another piece of candy and stuffed it into his hand.

The bearded man was blocked by Tong Shuyao's incomparably natural "bribery" for a long time, and he pondered his words, thinking about where to start.

It's actually not a particularly long story.

After the beginning of the new era, two talented masters, Dr. Bai and Dr. Tong, who were once famous scientists, started research on "new humans".He collected a large amount of thinking data, and tried to use these data to simulate the living environment of the human brain.He burned all the calculation results into the first humanoid computer of the new era, and then the mechanical girl living in the basement of the hexagonal attic—"eve", slowly opened her eyes.

She is a petite girl with white hair and red eyes, every inch of her body can be connected to the terminal computer.Her body is equivalent to a high-speed terminal processor, as long as she opens her eyes, she can receive all the data information stored in the mobile terminal.

She is, in a sense, the first new human.

However, the first sentence she uttered was a prophecy of the end of the world.

"What did she say?" Tong Shuyao clutched the seat belt on his chest, and swallowed nervously.

"She said that we are all going to die," the bearded man shrugged, "this planet will sink into the Cambrian period again."

No one wants to give up their life.

But no human can compete with natural disasters.

Scientists firmly believe that eve's calculation results will not be wrong, but no matter how advanced the air network surrounding the city is, it is impossible to withstand floods and severe cold - it can't even change the gray sky, and it can't make the city's climate suitable for tree planting .It can only ensure that people will not be destroyed by bad air and that people can survive.

For a short time, lingering with difficulty.

This is a rare and stable time in the new century. Human beings who have just been attacked by the "seed" virus have no time to face another disaster.Scientists propose to use eve to calculate "results". They need to calculate the possibility of the future, and they need to find a way to keep people alive from a large amount of data.

The future is dark.

"However, research cannot be interrupted, and whether promising or not, we cannot stand still."

"So from the very beginning, the Academy of Sciences planned future research in two directions," the bearded man stretched out two fingers, as if to say "yeah", "You should have seen it in the database, the real 'seed 'The plan is actually made up of two parts, a Hakoniwa project we're in now, and TSM next door."

"ATM?" Tong Shuyao asked.

The bearded man paused for a moment: "The Time and Space Measuring Agency."

"What kind of strange organization is this..."

"I don't know either. There is a city specially designated for them in the courtyard - No. 11, you should have heard of it," said the bearded man, "but it's not important, as long as you know what we do."

"What are we doing?" Tong Shuyao asked.

"It depends on what we started with."

——Why did the Hakoniwa Project start?

Tong Shuyao raised his head, the light screen interface on the front window of the car had already been turned off, and in the dark night, the urban air network was emitting a faint light.The road around the city has come to an end, and the gray city wall is standing on the empty land. Tong Shuyao watched the huge city gate pass over their heads. Outline.

The bearded man shook his head, he stopped talking, but Dr. Bai, who was always silent in the back seat, answered.

He said: "Tong Shuyao, you just need to remember that this city called Abandoned City is the last hope of mankind."

"It's Utopia in this world."
