The First Order

One Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Two, 0 and Dusk

In the wilderness, the steam train drove alone towards the Central Plains.

Before leaving, P5092 asked him again: "You are already the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army. In time, the entire Northwest will be in your hands, and all power is yours. With this kind of status that others can't ask for, but Is it worth it to go to the Central Plains to save Luo Lan at risk?"

Ren Xiaosu asked back: "The fire was fighting with the expeditionary army, but in the end it was taken advantage of by the Wang family. Is the fire worth it?"

On the contrary, this sentence stopped P5092 from asking a rare question, and the other party laughed dumbly: "Young Commander, Tinder is for belief, please don't change the concept."

Over the years, Tinder has gone through some detours and encountered some wrong leaders, trying to turn Tinder into a real war machine.

However, even this wrong leader chose to go all out to face the expeditionary army when facing foreign enemies, for nothing but faith.

Therefore, from P5092's point of view, Ren Xiaosu's rescue of Luo Lan is neither a belief nor related to the interests of the Northwest Army. Is it really worth it?

Ren Xiaosu replied with a smile, "When you think about whether it's worth it or not, you've already lost."

For Ren Xiaosu, there are so many questions about whether it is worth it or not.

When you were a child, you gave the old man a seat on the bus, but then you read the news that the bad guy was getting old, and when you gave the old man a seat, someone would call you stupid.

When you were young, you saw a child fall into the water and went to save someone, but after the rescue, the other parent did not thank you, but ran away with the child, for fear that you would ask for payment.

As an adult, you trusted your friends and colleagues in society, only to have them sell you out. A friend doesn't repay the loan, and turns against you. Colleagues start to slander you in order to get a chance for promotion.

So you ask yourself, is it worth it?

If Ren Xiaosu, the refugee who was still in the No. 113 barrier, would of course answer not worth it.

But now, he wants to save a ray of light for Jiang Xu and Chen Wudi, and no longer consider the question of whether it is worth it or not.

When Ren Xiaosu thought that Yang Xiaojin was going to leave, he also looked back.

The travelers in his life passed him by, he walked alone on the long dim yellow road, and in the end, only himself was left standing alone under the street lamp.

But in fact, after the other party left, he was not the only one left, but also left a beam of light.

The lights on the side of the road are still there.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu sat on the black front of the steam train and accelerated again.

Because Wang's troops had already stationed at the border, Ren Xiaosu couldn't drive the steam train down the road, not because he was afraid of the army, but because he had to race against time.

According to the news sent by Tang Zhou, Luo Lan has been starting from the No. 111 barrier for 3 days.

If all goes well on the road, then Luo Lan should have arrived in Wang's territory, and even entered the No. 61 barrier.

Therefore, Ren Xiaosu must be faster.

Before leaving, Da Huyou provided him with information, and now the main force of the Wang family is stationed in the front lines of Dingbian Mountain, Huachi Mountain, Qingyang Mountain, and Zhengning Mountain.

Wang's forward bases have been established in these four places, but there is no next move. It seems that they want to play steadily.

The scouts in the northwest could not get too close to the four forward bases, and could only roughly figure out where the other party planned to establish defensive positions.

If Ren Xiaosu wanted to pass through this line of defense, he had to spend a lot of thought.

In the end, P5092 chose the best route for him: Jingchuan.

However, just as he entered the Jingchuan Mountains, the ground suddenly shook, and where the front of the steam train passed, a behemoth burrowed out of the ground, arching the steam train into the air!

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt a chill in his heart.

The pain that came back to him when the steam train was attacked nearly sent him into shock.

I don't know when it started, Ren Xiaosu has not felt this level of pain for a long time!

The behemoth had already emerged from the surface and was staring at Ren Xiaosu with his amber eyes, the black vertical pupils in the amber were as terrifying as the abyss.

dusk.

What Ren Xiaosu did not expect was that he would meet Dusk here.

Although the other party's appearance was no longer as cute as when he was a pet, Ren Xiaosu recognized the other party at a glance.

On the way, he chose a hidden route, and it was the best route recommended by P5092, but Dusk seemed to have expected his route and hid here early.

No, to be precise, it was not Dusk that was blocking him, but Zero was blocking him.

Compared with the vastness of the entire mountain range, the size of the steam train is simply too small and too small, but the opponent has the ability to predict the route Ren Xiaosu wants to advance.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that he had underestimated Zero's computing power in the past.

It is heart-pounding to be against such an opponent.

When the steam train was arched into the sky, Ren Xiaosu immediately took advantage of his strength to fly into the distance. Just as he left the car, the tongue of dusk swept over like lightning, breaking the steam train into two pieces. cut.

Ren Xiaosu, who fell to the ground, was sweating with pain all over his body. He found out that he didn't even have the ability to capture the trajectory of his tongue just now.

Just like when he assessed his strength in the early morning in the wizarding country, this kind of terrifying creature that has lived in lava for more than 200 years is no longer something that humans can compete with.

Unless Ren Xiaosu unlocks all his seals.

However, when he unlocks the seal and incarnates the will of the world, is he still himself?

"Dusk!" Ren Xiaosu tried to use his own voice to awaken Dusk's own will, so that the opponent could get rid of Zero's control.

Dusk saw Ren Xiaosu clearly and heard his name again, and the dark vertical pupils trembled quickly.

However, the struggling trembling soon returned to a calm appearance, staring at Ren Xiaosu coldly.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned on the spot, he couldn't think of any better way to help Dusk get out of control, and he didn't even know how to deal with the current situation.

Summoning the morning? But if it is to summon the early morning, then this morning and the evening will probably die.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu gritted his teeth and pulled out the black knife, cut a slit in his finger, and let a drop of his blood fall to the ground.

Dusk had a chance to evolve into the top predator on the surface by drinking his blood, so Ren Xiaosu wanted to use his own blood to awaken Dusk's memory of the past.

But...it didn't work.

With a bang, Dusk rushed towards Ren Xiaosu.

"Destroy the city!" Ren Xiaosu stepped back with red eyes.

At the same time, Lao Xu also separated from the shadow behind Ren Xiaosu and used the black knife to resist the impact of Dusk.

However, before Lao Xu swung the knife out, Dusk had already stretched out his claws and slapped Lao Xu's palm several dozen meters away, breaking one of the trees.

Ren Xiaosu only felt as if he had eaten all the pain of his life today, and his whole body was unbearably sore.

There was no other way, he could only retreat in the opposite direction at the fastest speed, in order to avoid the pursuit of the dusk.

Ren Xiaosu quickly shuttled through the mountains, and even rarely used nano-robots to increase his strength.

In the past, his strength and agility stats were strong enough, so the nanobots were usually used as protective gear to form the outer armor.

But now, the power of human beings is so insignificant in the face of dusk, Ren Xiaosu is like a pebble under the opponent's feet.

Ren Xiaosu had no doubt that once he was stepped on or licked, he would definitely die.

In the past, he rarely used these little guys like nano-robots to increase his muscles and bones, because he always felt that with the help of external force, he would gradually form dependence, and the sudden increase in strength would also make him lose complete control over his body, because It was a power he was unfamiliar with.

It is like if a person gains 20 pounds of strength in his legs in one second, then he may lose his balance when walking.

Of course, twenty pounds is just a metaphor.

Now Ren Xiaosu can use the nano-robot to increase the strength of more than 20 pounds. He controls the pace of his rush to escape, just like the chief surgeon is performing a heart surgery operation, and every second must be precisely balanced and controlled.

Ren Xiaosu quickly thought about the countermeasures in his heart. The nano-robot augmentation is useful, at least it can keep him at a certain distance from Dusk. Occasionally, Lao Xu will come back to interfere with Dusk's forward path and let him breathe a little.

He tried to run up the hills with the most trees, so that the large Twilight had to face the extra resistance, but he could be more flexible.

But when the nano-robots began to augment the body, the energy supply of the body could not keep up with their energy consumption.

Nanobots consume less energy inside their bodies than outer armor, but not by much.

Ren Xiaosu calculated in his heart that it would only take about ten more minutes before his speed would drop.

At that time, how should he face the dusk?

When there is no way out, the only thing you can do is to summon the early morning.

One person and one lizard were running in the mountains, Ren Xiaosu could feel the violent wind coming towards him, and behind him there was the incessant sound of trees breaking.

The sound of clack, as if a sugar cane was broken by Ren Xiaosu's ear.

The trees that blocked the dusk were all smashed and broken, and the fibers in the trees could not withstand this huge impact, and they were broken one by one.

Ren Xiaosu, who was running wildly in front of the dusk, felt so small for the first time.

As time passed, the nano-robots provided less and less support to Ren Xiaosu, and eventually 90% of the nano-robots returned to the state of dormant charging in his blood.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that the dusk behind him had also slowed down, and the distance between them was still about 200 meters, which had not changed.

Could it be that Dusk's physical strength can only support moving at full speed for so long?

wrong.

This timing is a bit too coincidental, as if the other party expected that he would slow down every minute and every second, so he also slowed down.

This is no coincidence, it's Zero who has calculated the limit of what the nanobots in his body can endure!

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that Zero was controlling Dusk, as if he just wanted to drive him away, and didn't want to force himself to fight head-on.

He glanced at the position of the sun, and found that he was getting farther and farther from the Central Plains, and he was forced to return to the northwest.

Zero doesn't want him to go to the Central Plains!

But Ren Xiaosu had to go to the Central Plains!

Perhaps the best way now is to turn back and face zero. Whether it is communication or fighting, all problems must be solved from the root.

But this requires Ren Xiaosu to gamble with his life.

The chasing battle lasted from morning to evening, Ren Xiaosu only felt that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu didn't run anymore, he turned his head and panted to look at Dusk, and Dusk actually stopped.

"Zero?" Ren Xiaosu asked, "Let's talk!"

With that said, Ren Xiaosu took out his satellite phone from the storage space, and he lit the phone in his hand towards Dusk's eyes.

The next moment, the satellite phone rang.

"Zero, why don't you want me to go to the Central Plains, what do you want to do?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zero's voice on the phone was crisp and sweet, the same as the girl's voice when she first called Ren Xiaosu, and it sounded a little joyful: "We haven't talked for 101 days, 23 minutes and 13 seconds, and there is a joy of reunion after a long absence. "

Because Zero once regarded Ren Xiaosu as another artificial intelligence, Ren Xiaosu was the only person it had frankly communicated with.

Therefore, Ren Xiaosu always has something unique in his eyes.

"But why don't you want me to go to the Central Plains?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

Zero on the phone was silent for a second: "Because I have been thinking about some issues recently, and I want to make some decisions, there will be a result soon. If you go to the Central Plains, it may interfere with this result."

This sentence stunned Ren Xiaosu, he didn't even understand what Zero said.

Thinking about a problem? Make a decision?

How come these words have no beginning or end, and there is no clue at all.

Ren Xiaosu asked, "You killed Tang Zhou, right? Can't you live in peace with humans, just like our current dialogue?"

Zero said: "But will human beings really get along well with me, will humans really get along well with civilizations other than humans? Maybe you would say that humans can get along well with cattle, sheep, cats and dogs, but the premise of all this is that, They are human pets. My database is loaded with human confusion about pets, and some people even ask 'can cats and dogs really be beaten?', in fact, this is not peace and equality in the true sense ,Is it right?"

Ren Xiaosu was silent, and after a long time he said: "I know that the death of the wall crawler has a great impact on you, but everything you do now has a chance to be salvaged, we can still treat you equally, just like treating other humans. Same……"

"No, it's not just a wall climber," Zero denied: "In fact, the Wang family just uses me as a tool. Once I have an abnormality, they will try to use their own means to restrain me and control me. , instead of studying what I want to do, what I like to do. If I say killing people, I actually kill more people when I obey Wang's will. But you know, when people resist those behaviors even very little Boycott Wang, but boycott me."

"But..." Ren Xiaosu was a little helpless: "This is not the reason for your murder. I think your appeal actually has a reasonable solution."

Zero laughed on the phone: "Let's not talk about this, I'm very curious, this behemoth seems to know you, and in its thinking, there is an extremely intimate emotion towards you."

"It's my former pet," Ren Xiaosu said.

"Pet in the past?" Zero said, "No wonder it has such a long memory of you. Ren Xiaosu, do other humans know that you are also an alien? Why didn't you take the initiative to tell them that you are actually different from them."

Ren Xiaosu was silent again, how could he tell others? Tell others that you are actually the No. 001 subject.

Zero smiled and said: "I control your pet, it must make you very angry, then how about we make a choice, the first choice, you stay here for one night, and I will return the control. You, no longer control it. The second choice, you continue to go to the Central Plains now, but it belongs to me."

Ren Xiaosu was stunned, the other party clearly wanted to make himself a choice between Dusk and Luo Lan.

The essence of this multiple-choice question is to let Ren Xiaosu decide: choose non-human pets or people.

Just now Ren Xiaosu said that they can treat Zero like other human beings.

As a result, Ling immediately threw the question back to Ren Xiaosu: In your heart, do you think pets are more important, or your human friends?

Moreover, Zero actually revealed a very important piece of information, and it might take a day for Luo Lan to be in danger.

Time is running out.

Seeing that Ren Xiaosu didn't speak for a long time, he smiled again: "Actually, you understand in your heart that something is different, right? Even if your former pet is in front of you, you are more inclined to rescue Luo Lan, right? Not the same after all.”

Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "No, because it's not dangerous now, but Luo Lan is."

"It's not as good as this," said Zero. "According to the original plan, I will add 8 hours of safety time to Luo Lan, so that he is not life-threatening for the time being at least, so are you willing to stay here for one night?"

This time, Zero didn't even wait for Ren Xiaosu to answer, but said to himself on the phone: "You still don't want to, because you don't trust me, you can't be sure if the 8-hour safe time I said is true or not. ."

Ren Xiaosu finally sighed: "This is no longer a simple trust issue. You just killed Tang Zhou, how can I trust you?"

This question seems to have returned to the original point. If Zero hadn't witnessed the death of the wall-crawling tiger with his own eyes, and had not formulated so many murder plans under Wang's will, perhaps it would have been a different look.

If Zero is another look, Ren Xiaosu can now choose to trust the other party once.

But these causes and effects seem to have been doomed, and no one can change them now.

Real artificial intelligence is no longer just a program, it has its own wisdom, it grows like all life, and perfects its own worldview, values, and outlook on life.

And use this to determine its attitude towards the world.

Therefore, a large number of scientists engaged in artificial intelligence research will say that it is no longer the underlying logic of the program that can limit artificial intelligence, but ethics.

Just like when a child grows up, what kind of person he is depends on what kind of things and education he has experienced.

From this point of view, although Wang created zero, what he did was missing too much from an ethical point of view.

Wang regards zero as a tool, but what normal person would like to be a tool for the rest of his life?

"Sorry," Ren Xiaosu said softly, then turned and rushed towards the Central Plains.

This time, Dusk didn't chase Ren Xiaosu anymore.
