One Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Four, Under the Abyss

"Are you ready?"

After dinner, Luo Lan stood up, took a deep breath and asked.

He looked around, and Zhou Qi, Qing Laosan, Xu Huo and others all stood up silently: "Ready."

Including 180 special company soldiers, a total of 184 people came to the Central Plains, and now they are about to enter the No. 61 barrier. Success or failure is here.

The bridge of Qianling River stands on the turbulent river. This end of the bridge and the other end of the bridge seem to connect two different worlds.

life and death.

They knew that Luo Lan asked if they were ready, not if they had enough to eat.

Instead, they asked, after crossing the bridge, have they thought about the consequences of everything they will bear?

Zhou Qi asked: "I just want to know, after the completion of this plan, will the Wang family be taken care of? If you let me take this risk, you have to tell me whether it's worth it?"

In the documents Zhou Qi and the others got, there was only such a solitary action plan, and nothing to follow.

It is as if you are an actor in a stage play, but you only get your own script, which only has your own plot and lines.

What other people will do and what will happen next, you have no idea.

Luo Lan looked at Zhou Qi and said seriously: "I don't tell you about other plans, in order to prevent you from being controlled by artificial intelligence, and then being known by Wang's details of the overall plan. Don't worry, it's not only you who don't know, Xu Hsu also doesn't know. , Qing Laosan does not know, including me, all those who may lead to the leakage of the plan have no right to know the overall plan."

That is to say, in fact, when the plan was made, Qing Zhen had already assumed that all personnel in this operation would be captured or die.

Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows: "Okay, even if you don't know, then I'll balance my mind. Let me tell you, Fatty Luo, don't lie to me, this plan should be worth the risk for so many of us."

"But I have to say one last thing," Luo Lan explained with a solemn expression: "No matter who is in danger of being captured, don't do force resistance. Suicide is our best choice. We can't let artificial intelligence control us to face it. Qing Zhen, do you understand?"

It was hard for Luo Lan to imagine how painful Qing Zhen would feel when he wanted to fight against his controlled self.

So if that happens, the pain will be borne by itself.

Xu Xu said: "I have made a detailed retreat plan, and that will not happen."

"It's better," Zhou Qi pouted.

However, at this moment, not far from the camp where Luo Lan and the others were, a black door of shadow suddenly opened.

Luo Lan's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, because he had seen the Gate of Shadows beside Ren Xiaosu too many times!

It's just that this Shadow Gate seems to be bigger than Ren Xiaosu's.

The next moment, the slender Luo Xinyu walked out of the door, her face full of exhaustion.

"Hey, why are you here?" Luo Lan asked curiously.

When the Qing's secret nuclear weapons military base was destroyed earlier, Luo Xinyu was captured by the Qing's.

Originally Luo Lan thought that the other party should be imprisoned by Qing Zhen somewhere, but did not expect to see the other party here.

I saw a strange metal ring around Luo Xinyu's waist, with a countdown displayed on it, and an electronic combination lock.

Luo Xinyu said with a pale face: "Untie this time bomb for me, and I will tell you the news that Qing Zhen wants me to bring."

Luo Lan was delighted, it turned out that this guy was forced by Qing Zhen to deliver the letter.

Looking at the other party's expression, he should have overdrawn his abilities along the way, and he was about to run out of fuel and dry up.

But Luo Lan didn't have the slightest idea of ​​pity and cherishing jade. He happily glanced at the countdown on the metal circle. There were 1 hour and 31 minutes left.

Luo Lan said with a smile: "You tell me the news first, and I'll solve it for you. I, Luo Lan's reputation, should be guaranteed, so I won't lie to you."

Luo Xinyu hesitated for a while, and finally took out a small note from her pocket and handed it to Luo Lan.

After Luo Lan unfolded the note, she was delighted. The note read: Ren Xiaosu has already set off for the Central Plains. He should be ambushed and blocked by artificial intelligence on the way, so it will take three days to arrive.

Below the note, there is a small string of numbers.

He handed the note to Xu Xu: "Check the handwriting and numbers."

The number was not intended to convey any information, but an encryption method for conveying the information, in order to ensure that Luo Xinyu did not drop the note.

After human beings have gone through countless wars, intelligence transmission has become a systematic discipline.

Every number, every stroke, may become a mark of authenticity.

Two minutes later, Xu Xu nodded to Luo Lan: "No problem, the information is true."

Zhou Qi laughed: "Finally there is good news. Once Ren Xiaosu arrives, our life safety will be greatly guaranteed."

As a result, Zhou Qi suddenly found that Luo Lan didn't seem to be very happy: "What kind of expression do you have? Didn't you always expect Ren Xiaosu to protect you? Why do you look a little unhappy this time?"

Luo Lan said calmly: "You also know what we are here for. Before I left, I didn't let anyone tell Ren Xiaosu, I just didn't want him to accompany us on our adventures."

"I've never seen you think so before," Zhou Qi wondered.

"This time is different," Luo Lan said. "This time is more dangerous than ever."

"You are very affectionate," Zhou Qi said disdainfully.

"Unlock it for me," Luo Xinyu said coldly.

"But I don't know what the password is, should I try it for you?" Luo Lan laughed.

Luo Xinyu's expression changed immediately: "You don't know the password either? That's what your Qing family did. You can play tricks on other people's lives? Qing Zhen said that this combination lock only has three chances of trial and error. Do you know the password?"

Luo Lan walked up to Luo Xinyu and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, although Qing Zhen didn't tell me the password, since he asked you to come to me, he must think I can try it right, my brother is not a murderer without blinking an eye. Executioner."

Luo Xinyu pursed her lips and didn't speak, just quietly watched Luo Lan enter 123456 on the metal bomb belt. With a click, the buckle of the belt was released.

"Look, the password is as simple as that, and it succeeds once," Luo Lan said with a smile.

At this moment, her heart was a little broken. It turned out to be such a simple password?

Luo Lan smiled and said: "Actually, there is no limit to the number of failures of this combination lock. You can unlock it by trying a few more times. Qing Zhen will scare you. But I want to remind you, don't go to Wang's after the bomb is removed. , go wherever you want, don't get involved in these right and wrong. Yang Xiaojin is at the No. 144 barrier, you can go to her. "

Luo Xinyu rolled her eyes: "You don't have to worry about it."

Saying that, she turned around and entered the Shadow Gate and disappeared, as if she didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"What do you say now? Are we here waiting for Ren Xiaosu to meet?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Of course this is the best solution," Luo Lan said, looking across the bridge, "But Mr. Wang won't wait for us."

As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a convoy driving out from the gate of Fortress No. 61 on the other side of the bridge. It seemed that they were here to welcome Luo Lan and the others.

"It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's go," Luo Lan laughed and got into the car.

The long off-road team drove all the way across the Qianling River Bridge.

After they all crossed the bridge, Luo Lan suddenly stopped the motorcade. He thought for a while, and then took out the red eye of true vision that Ren Xiaosu had given him.

Xu Huo and the others watched silently, only to see Luo Lan finding a wide bridge before the Wang's convoy didn't arrive, and pressing the red eye of true vision on it and twisting it ten times.

Then he turned to Xu Xu and said, "This is the life-saving charm that Ren Xiaosu gave me. It is said that behind this door is the place I want to go most. If your retreat plan doesn't work, we will leave here. Zhou Qi , remember, we will meet here at that time. If the time is up and you are not there, we are not waiting for you."

According to Luo Lan, Zhou Qi seems to be going to act separately from them next.

Zhou Qi pouted: "Don't worry, I didn't expect you to give up your life to wait for me. But don't you go in and see what's behind the door, aren't you curious?"

Luo Lan smiled: "If I don't watch it, I'm afraid I'll watch it myself, so I can't bear to go to the No. 61 barrier."

In fact, Luo Lan could probably guess where the door was, but he couldn't look at it.

People have to look forward, because they always look back at those beautiful pasts, and they may be reluctant to move forward.

All that is in the past is left in the past.

After speaking, Luo Lan got into the car again without looking back, and then drove off to meet Wang's motorcade.

When the two convoys converged, Wang's convoy suddenly split into two groups, one opened the way in front of the convoy, while the other was directly attached to the end of Qing's convoy, just like escorting Luo Lan and others.

This set of operations flows smoothly, like a precise machine.

Zhou Qi looked through the car window: "Is this treating us as prisoners?!"

"Don't talk so much when you're on someone else's site," Luo Lan smiled, "Isn't this all expected?

At this time, the car intercoms of the two parties have been connected to their respective channels, and the voice of the reception staff of Wang's came from the intercom: "Boss Luo, stay safe, I am Wang Run of Wang's, and I will receive you this time."

Zhou Qi picked up the car walkie-talkie and sarcastically said, "Wang's reception is quite high."

Wang Run replied: "After all, this is the first time that the master of the Qing family has come to visit the Wang family. We are here to prevent people with bad intentions from destroying the friendship between the Wang family and the Qing family."

Zhou Qi hung up the walkie-talkie, and then whispered: "I'm afraid we're almost gone, everyone, what should we do now?"

At this time, Zhou Qi, Xu Cong, Qing Laosan, and Luo Lan were sitting in the same car, and Xu Cong acted as the driver.

However, before they could speak, Wang Run's voice suddenly came out of the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, we will now go directly to Wang's Artificial Intelligence Building to visit. Chief Wang Shengzhi is already there waiting for you, and the meeting will start today."

Luo Lan and the others were all stunned, why did they go directly to see Wang Shengzhi? This is not in accordance with the procedure ah.

Generally speaking, the Wang family should let them settle down at the arranged residence first. After all, for such a high-level meeting, the journey from the southwest is long and exhausting.

Either way, it's not etiquette.

Zhou Qi confirmed that the microphone of the walkie-talkie was off, then lowered his voice and said to Luo Lan: "This is completely different from what we planned! We should wait for Ren Xiaosu to come before entering the artificial intelligence building!"

Xu Con also said: "No, we can't enter the artificial intelligence building now, we have to wait for Ren Xiaosu to arrive at the Wang family."

Entering the building where the artificial intelligence is located is the first step in their plan, and it stands to reason that they should be happy.

But the time is not right!

Luo Lan nodded, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Wang Run, is this how your Wang family treats guests? Our Qing family master came to your realm, and he didn't even let you take a shower? Besides, we Enough sincerity has been given, now it's time to see your sincerity."

Wang Run replied on the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, I'm sorry, it's very difficult for me to agree to your request, because the sir has little time. This is not a secret, and the sir also said that there is no need to hide it from you, he can't wait any longer. It's rare for him to regain his sanity today, so if we want to talk about it, it has to be now."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Lan and the others looked at each other in the car, they never expected to get such an answer.

Wang Shengzhi is running out of time? !

This huge Central Plains has just been unified, and the people who unified it are already on the verge of withering. Moreover, if what Wang Run said is true, Wang Shengzhi has very little time to wake up now.

Now, it was supposed to be the time for the other party to enjoy power!

"Do you think this news is true or false?" Luo Lan asked.

"It should be true," Qing Laosan said calmly, "otherwise we are all under Wang's control, he doesn't need to be so impatient, and he doesn't need to lie to us."

Zhou Qi said: "Then it would be great if we just boil him to death. As soon as Wang Shengzhi dies, the Wang family will be in chaos immediately. At that time, there is no need for the Qing family to deal with the Wang family, and it will collapse on its own."

Luo Lan glanced at Zhou Qi: "It's not the Wang family that we have to deal with this time."

It's AI zero.

Qing Zhen told Xu Con a long time ago that most people regard Wang and AI as a complete whole, but in Qing Zhen's eyes, AI and Wang are separated.

In Qing Zhen's view, artificial intelligence is far more dangerous than Wang's.

This time, they are here to destroy the server in the underground river. To complete this step, they must first enter the artificial intelligence building.

But once you enter that building, there is no turning back.

Zhou Qi said, "I suggest waiting, at least until Ren Xiaosu arrives."

Luo Lan analyzed: "We can't wait any longer. If Wang Shengzhi suddenly died, would we still have a chance to enter the artificial intelligence building? I'm afraid not."

"There is no chance if there is no chance," Zhou Qi said, "We can look for opportunities later."

"No," Luo Lan said firmly: "This is the most important part of Qing Zhen's plan, and it must be successful. Qing Zhen has said more than once that we have to race against time."

Qing Laosan suddenly asked: "Even if you will die in this race?"

Luo Lan stared at Qing Lao San and said, "It's too late for you to be afraid of death now."

"I'm not afraid," Qing Laosan shrugged his shoulders: "You dare to go, what can I do?"

Luo Lan turned to look at the others: "Xu Cong, Zhou Qi, is there any omission in our plan? No, just because we suddenly got the news that Ren Xiaosu is coming, we have to give up the plan that has been planned for a long time? We can't Wait for Ren Xiaosu."

"Are you worried that Ren Xiaosu will be involved in this matter and put him in danger?" Qing Laosan said softly, "Actually, what we are doing now is also helping the Northwest."

Luo Lan smiled: "It's nothing, I can't think about it so much now. Besides, we're not bad, there's no reason to expect others to be the savior of the world every day, right?"

A person with a truly strong heart never needs anyone else to be his savior.

They are ready for everything, even ready to face death.

Zhou Qi asked softly: "Have you made up your mind? Maybe our plan is successful, and Qing Zhen's follow-up plan may also fail. If we die here, we will die in vain."

When Zhou Qi asked this sentence, he seemed to return to that snowy night and climbed the Ginkgo Mountain with Qing Zhen.

"Think about it," Luo Lan said, looking out the window, "The 1,374 secret-related staff of the Qing family have been isolated from the world for five years. They have not even gone back to see their family members, just for the moment of success. Qing Zhen carefully prepared them. The plan should not be wasted, the hard work of these secret personnel should not be wasted, and the opportunity that was finally won should not be wasted."

Luo Lan suddenly laughed: "With so many things on my back, I suddenly feel like a hero."

...

After the convoy entered the barrier, Xu Con suddenly said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the No. 61 barrier. There are dozens of vehicles in our convoy, and when it passed, few pedestrians on the road stopped to watch."

This is actually very unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, everyone would stop and see what happened to the team.

"It's a little weird, but I don't care about it anymore," Luo Lan said. "Get ready to start."

Ten minutes later, when the convoy passed the Jingchuan River Bridge inside the No. 61 barrier, Luo Lan's convoy suddenly stopped, and all Wang's vehicles braked suddenly.

Luo Lan jumped out of the car swaggeringly, and all the special forces even got out of the car and enforced martial law around the car.

Wang Run looked at Luo Lan who was approaching with a cold face: "What is Boss Luo doing?"

Luo Lan smiled on Wang Run's car window and said, "Can't I come to chat with you? How have you been recently, how much salary Wang Shengzhi paid you, are you married, have children, and how old are the children? , boys and girls..."

Wang Run was stunned for a moment, he thought to himself what the hell are you talking about with me here.

At the same time, Zhou Qi took advantage of the cover of the special company soldiers and jumped into the calm Jingchuan River.

A person weighing 150 pounds jumped into the river from a bridge more than three meters high, and it was like a drop of water fell into it, without making any sound that could alarm Wang Run and others.

There was no splash either.

At this time, Wang Run saw Luo Lan's smiling expression and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly got out of the car and looked behind the convoy. He looked at the river again, but found nothing unusual.

Under the turquoise water, Zhou Qi was like a torpedo, hiding in the depths of the water and swimming toward the west.

Zhou Qi did not stay inside the barrier, but swam out of the barrier all the way, and finally climbed ashore at a sediment factory near Wang's.

The sand field did not look abnormal from the outside, but after it went ashore this week, all the machinery for digging the sand stopped.

Several soldiers with live ammunition walked out of the factory to greet him: "Sir."

Here, before Luo Lan arrived, he was firmly controlled by the Qing family.

In other words, Qing Zhen took control of this sand field earlier. At that time, artificial intelligence had not yet mastered the weapon of nano-robots.

"Are you ready," Zhou Qi condensed.

"Ready."

"Everyone in the factory is under control?" Zhou Qi said, "We must make sure that nothing goes wrong and that no one gets away."

"Understood," said one of the soldiers, "do you want to silence them all?"

"No," Zhou Qi muttered, "If Luo Lan finds out, he will have to nag for a long time. It's alright, just keep them under control."

A group of people walked silently into the factory building. In the factory building, a piece of oil cloth covered a huge mechanical monster.

Zhou Qi tore open the tarpaulin covering it, revealing the true face of the steel monster inside.

Standing in front of it, human beings seem a little powerless and insignificant.

The soldier introduced: "This is the equipment that Kong used to drill underground. Although it is decommissioned, it is sufficient for the task of digging underground rivers."

The DP-01 drilling platform is equipped with the EST-01-29 core drill bit. This monster seems to have the power to directly pierce the center of the earth.

More than 20 Qing soldiers with live ammunition have been lurking in the Central Plains for a long time. At this time, each of them has an indescribable sense of mission.

This inconspicuous sand field is the starting point of all plans.

The rumbling sound came, and Zhou Qi calmly watched the steel machine start, and the moment when the invincible drill bit came into contact with the ground, everyone could feel a sense of power from modern scientific civilization.

It only took an hour for this behemoth to help them find the location of the underground river.

If you want to get closer to the server group of AI Zero, you have to enter the underground river first.

It was a dark world, but Zhou Qi was not afraid.

He was afraid of things that he had never told anyone else.

Zhou Qi stood silently in front of the drilling equipment. After a while, he suddenly asked the soldier beside him, "Do you believe that someone will give their life to save you?"

The soldier froze for a moment: "Sir, I believe it."

"Well," Zhou Qi was silent again.

The roaring drill bit pierced into the ground like a thorn. When the scale indicated that the drill bit reached 27 meters, water suddenly overflowed from the ground along the steel pipe outside the coring bit.

"Sir, it's open," the soldier said.

The giant drilling rig began to pull the drill bit upwards, allowing Zhou Qi to follow the pipeline directly into the underground river.

Zhou Qi began to take off his suit, and the soldiers on the side brought him a professional diving suit and fins.

"Flippers and oxygen cylinders are no longer needed," Zhou Qi smiled and pointed to the ground under his feet: "That's my home court."

Under the pipe, it is like an abyss, as if it leads directly to the purgatory deep in the heart of the earth.

...
