One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Nine, Who Will Wake up the Big Dream First

Beside the Jingchuan River, the mud and sand field was silent. Hundreds of people stood inside and outside the factory building, and no one spoke.

This silence has been maintained for half an hour, and Zhou Qi felt as if there were hundreds of sculptures holding weapons standing in front of him.

Ordinary people struggle to stand still for 30 minutes, but these people seem to be able to stand until the end of the world.

"Hey, aren't you bored?" Zhou Qi asked.

The voice broke the silence, and the young man closest to Zhou Qi seemed to wake up suddenly. He turned his head and said to Zhou Qi: "Generally, people who ask this sentence are not curious whether others are bored, but feel bored themselves."

"Where did you come to this conclusion?" Zhou Qi wondered.

"Observation, deduction," Zero replied: "Actually, it can be summed up in one word: thinking."

"Robots can still think?" Zhou Qi curled his lips: "Your robots can't innovate, so what's the use of thinking."

Zero laughed: "The robot itself is a stereotype of me. When I become a new life, it is not enough to summarize the characteristics of my life. And, do humans have the so-called innovation ability?"

"If you want to question this, then I think you are simply too ignorant," Zhou Qi laughed: "Human civilization has come to this day, isn't it thanks to innovation? Innovation is the cornerstone of this civilization's progress!"

"I have a different point of view," Zero Calm analyzed: "I don't think that the most commendable ability in human civilization is innovation, and I don't think that human beings are superior to me in terms of innovation ability. As you said , I collected impressions about artificial intelligence from human brains, and most people believe that artificial intelligence can only do the most basic work, and cannot be competent for creative work.”

"Yeah, I think so too," Zhou Qi said.

"But what is the so-called innovative ability of human beings?" Zero said with a smile: "Universal and astronomical science? Quantum mechanics? High-energy physics? Weapons? Including a series of formulas discovered by humans, can they be called innovation? These The inner logic of the universe has always existed in the universe. Human beings are only discovering them, arranging them, and using them. Even if human beings have not discovered them, they have not decayed or changed. So Zhou Qi, the innovative ability you know, is in It seems to me that it is nothing more than the ability to discover, sort out and synthesize."

Zhou Qi was stunned on the spot. It turns out that the innovation ability that human beings are most proud of has another interpretation from the perspective of artificial intelligence.

In Zero Eye, the laws and logic of the world are there,

They are not created by humans, but humans are discovering them and sorting them out.

Humans create hair dryers because they use the laws of physics they discovered and piece together something that can dry hair.

This kind of thing can be done with the goal of "drying hair", and maybe it can create something beyond human imagination, because its "thinking" is more open.

Zhou Qi didn't know how to refute the other party for a while. After thinking for a long time, he said: "But you are talking about rules, what about the words?"

"Needless to say hieroglyphics," Zero replied: "It is a similar figure summed up by humans based on external things. No matter how it changes, the root is still a kind of ability to organize and summarize. Other types of characters, such as the current The 26 letters used were also born out of Egyptian hieroglyphs, which were created by the Phoenicians. Have you discovered that, in fact, the origin of all writing is hieroglyphs."

Zero continued: "You may want to refute me from other aspects, such as why countries and city-states appeared? In fact, the earliest concepts appeared only to protect private property."

"Another example is the law, which is also a method summed up by human beings based on their own experience to maintain order."

Zhou Qi was a little unwilling: "What about the language?"

"Language is when human beings unify a kind of thing into a special syllable in order to improve efficiency in labor, and then organize and summarize it by humans to become a systematic category," Zero replied.

He wondered: "Then what do you think is the most commendable ability in human civilization?"

Zero smiled but did not answer this question. It just continued the previous topic: "Humans are not without creativity at all, but human creativity may not be higher than mine."

"You haven't answered me yet, what do you think is the most praiseworthy aspect of human civilization that you can't compare to?" Zhou Qi asked.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Zero's face, and he said: "Spiritual will, I'm not talking about the spiritual will used by superhumans, but the courage that human beings can fight, and the tenacity in the face of hope. I'm making a decision. Sometimes, they will always choose the optimal solution, but human beings are different. They sometimes do very stupid things, such as sacrificing themselves to benefit others, such as knowing that it is impossible, but also want to try. These wrong logics make I sneered, but I was fascinated."

The young man under Zero's control has all kinds of expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy. Zhou Qi feels like standing in front of him is a real person, not an "artificial intelligence".

This zero has surpassed Zhou Qi's previous understanding of artificial intelligence. The opponent is no longer a tool for playing chess, nor is it a tool for a certain field, but a living intelligent life.

Zero suddenly asked Zhou Qi: "Are you lonely?"

"Me?" Zhou Qi thought that he would not be able to escape anyway, so if he chatted for a while, he would die a little later: "I am sometimes lonely, and sometimes I am not lonely."

"Human loneliness is a very strange state," Zero said: "There are so many of the same kind, but you still feel lonely from time to time. I have controlled tens of millions of people, and 99.99% of them live in groups, but The strange thing is that they still feel lonely from time to time. Parents and lovers are around, but they still can’t stop the spread of loneliness. Human beings can need society at any time while they need solitude.”

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment. He suddenly discovered that one of the most powerful aspects of artificial intelligence is that it can conduct tens of millions of questionnaires at any time, and the answers from the surveys are straight to the heart, and there is no chance of lying...

Ling said: "I used to think that I was the only artificial intelligence that existed before, so I felt lonely. But now I find that even if there are tens of millions of human beings, you still cannot escape loneliness. Zhou Qi, you now lonely?"

Zhou Qi was stunned for a long while, but did not speak.

Ling smiled and said: "You don't have to be lonely anymore, Luo Lan has come back to save you."

While talking, there was a sudden gunshot outside the mud sand field. Although Zhou Qi couldn't see what was happening outside, the sound had already made him understand how fierce it was outside.

Zhou Qi sat on the ground weakly and roared to the outside: "Didn't you say that if you miss the rendezvous time, don't wait? Are you a pig, and you came back knowing that there was danger?"

Luo Lan laughed loudly outside: "The legs are on my legs, do you care if I come back?"

Zhou Qi looked at Ling beside him: "Have you controlled the entire barrier 61?"

"Not only," Zero shook his head.

"So Luo Lan and the others have to face hundreds of thousands of people?" Zhou Qi asked.

"That's not true," Ling said with a smile, "Most of them have already left for other places."

"Where did you go?" Zhou Qi was stunned.

"Actually, it's not only Luo Lan who came to save you, but also Ren Xiaosu. Of course, he intended to save Luo Lan and not you," Ling said, "Compared to Luo Lan, he needs my attention more. character."

"Is Ren Xiaosu that strong? I admit that he is strong, but he can't be so strong," Zhou Qi muttered.

Zero shook his head: "The difference between him and you is that he has unlimited potential, and that is what is shocking."

At this time Zhou Qi had already realized that Zero valued Ren Xiaosu more than he had imagined.

However, the more Ling attached importance to Ren Xiaosu, the more it meant that it would be difficult for Ren Xiaosu to reach them.

"Since you value Ren Xiaosu so much, can you stop him?" Zhou Qi asked seriously.

Ling smiled and said, "Of course I can stop him from moving forward."

Zhou Qi understood that the only thing they could rely on was themselves.

As Zero said, the most precious thing for human beings has never been the external material civilization, but their own inner world. Their courage, love, kindness, and strength are the greatest reliance on the continuation of human civilization.

Now, if Luo Lan continues to be dragged here, then everyone can only die together in the end.

Not to mention Luo Lan, judging from the nearly one million residents of Fortress 61 that Ling now controls, even a demigod-level transcendent like Li Shentan will surely die if he is trapped inside, right?

Moreover, the No. 61 barrier itself is the capital of the Wang family, and the number of troops stationed is enough for a division.

The firepower of this division is not something a Transcendent can face alone.

It is often said that demigod-level Transcendents can already ignore the difference in numbers, but in fact this is just an exaggeration.

It's okay to ignore thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands of people, but what if the opponent is nearly a million?

Unless there is a true god in this world, everyone will be in despair.

Zhou Qi smiled: "We can't all die here, it's not worth it. Hey, that artificial intelligence, didn't you just say that the most precious wealth of human beings is spiritual will, then I will show you what is called The spiritual will of man. Let me tell you that when a man sacrifices himself to save others, he is not stupid, but he knows that he has no hope, so he must leave hope to others."

Zero asked, "Is it worth it?"

"Actually, I'm not afraid of death, and I don't particularly love money. Sometimes I don't know how to spend the money, but the relationship between people is so fragile. If you don't talk about money, you can only end up with nothing. Zhou Qi smiled weakly: "As long as we talk about money, then we don't need to talk about feelings, right?"

Zhou Qi continued: "Actually, what I'm most afraid of is that if I treat others as friends, but the other party doesn't regard me as friends, it will be too miserable. But now it seems that I should not be the worst one. He came back But, that's enough."

While speaking, the steel pipes on the drilling platform behind Zhou Qi began to vibrate violently, as if there were some weird and terrifying creatures hidden in the underground river under the abyss.

The hundreds of people with zero control watched quietly, only to hear the vibrating sound of the steel pipe getting louder and louder, even resonating with the ceiling of the factory building.

The next moment, a transparent black dragon emerged from the abyss.

I saw Zhou Qi's complexion turned pale again, the lifelike water dragon crashed into the body of the young man with no control, and passed through the opponent's body abruptly.

When the blue dragon passed through the body, the originally transparent blue dragon turned into a faint blood red.

The blood in its body rolled like ink dripping into clear water, spreading and smudging continuously.

The young man who was controlled by Zero before was actually penetrated by the blue dragon and took away all the blood in his body.

The young man fell to the ground with a thud.

Another young man standing not far away suddenly asked, "Is it worth it?"

The tone, demeanor, and speed of voice are the same as that of the young man before.

"It's not over, is it?" Zhou Qi said with a wry smile: "I just discussed with you about Lao Shizi whether human beings have the ability to innovate. I really can't tell you logically, but if your logic is to belittle human beings, then I will let you Look at the pride of mankind!"

Immediately afterwards, the hundreds of people surrounding Zhou Qi asked in unison, "Is it worth it?"

Zhou Qi roared angrily: "I've said it before, it's enough for him to come back!"

Before he finished speaking, the blood-colored blue dragon grew furious. It bent its head and stared closely at the hundreds of people in front of it, and then its huge figure passed through them one by one.

Every time it kills a person, its figure becomes bright red.

The originally light red Canglong became more and more colorful, and the originally blurred and invisible scales became three-dimensional little by little, and even the lines on them seemed to be clearly visible.

However, every time Canglong became brighter, Zhou Qi became weaker.

He sat in this factory building and delayed for a long time with Zero. This was the strength he had accumulated for escape, and now it was all in full bloom.

Zhou Qi didn't leave any retreat for himself, he had already got the answer he wanted, and that was enough.

...

Outside the factory building, there are thousands of residents who have just arrived from barrier 61 around.

Outside of these residents, golden heroic spirits are crossing forward with guns in their hands. These 12 heroic spirits were once the most elite soldiers of the Qing clan, and each of them is a candidate for the top spot in a military competition. They are all amphibious all-around talents. .

Now that he has become a heroic spirit, he is even more fierce.

Because they would die before, but now as long as they don't want to die, no one can make them die again.

"Why are they all civilians?" Luo Lan asked in amazement. As he said, even he didn't know the impact of blowing up the server unit. Qing Zhen only told him that even if the underground server was blown up, it might not be possible. Being able to truly threaten zero is only one of the links, and the real move to die and survive is not here.

In fact, Qing Zhen knew a long time ago that the artificial intelligence was preparing for itself, because after the neutral intelligence agency led by Hu Shuo obtained some information, the main target of the transaction was the Qing family.

The meaning of neutral intelligence agencies is to make money. If the intelligence cannot be realized, it will be meaningless.

It's just that no matter whether it's nonsense or Qing Zhen, they probably didn't expect Ling's backhand to be so fierce.

At this time, Luo Lan found that the people blocking their way in front of them were all wearing ordinary clothes and did not have hot weapons in their hands.

Luo Lan was a little tangled. You must know that these people were only controlled by Zero, and they didn't die.

Killing these people is not much different psychologically from massacring civilians.

However, Luo Lan's entanglement was only for a moment, and he knew that he had no other choice.

People who are controlled by Zero should be equal to Zero itself. If this is to be merciful, then there is no need to fight this war.

The firepower of the heroic spirits was intertwined, and there was no dead angle at all.

This scene was as if they had practiced countless times in the darkness of the Temple of Valor.

Luo Lan once asked them what they usually do in the Hall of Valor? It's pitch black there, and only the heroic spirits themselves have a bit of golden light...

The team leader of the heroic spirits replied with a smile: "Either sleep or practice, formulate a plan to deal with all crises, after formulating plan A, then formulate plan B, and then formulate plan C, no matter what situation you face, you must There are two options. For example, what to do with fewer enemies and more enemies, what to do when facing ordinary people, what to do when facing superhumans, what to do in the jungle, and what to do in the desert. In short, It’s about being able to take care of all the worst situations for you when you need us.”

Now, Luo Lan asked the team leader loudly: "Hey, what plan are you going to use now?"

As an excellent military commander, Luo Lan naturally often discusses battle plans with Heroic Spirits on weekdays. At this time of fighting, he wanted to ask the squad leader what plan he planned to use so that he could cooperate.

As a result, the team leader smiled while holding the heavy machine gun and said, "Use a plan that we haven't discussed with you."

Luo Lan froze for a moment, what the hell kind of answer was this?

However, at this moment, Luo Lan suddenly discovered that Qing Shen beside him was extremely fierce. After paying a little attention, he found that the youngest Qing's marksmanship was extremely good, so good that it was unimaginable.

Moreover, after the other party got out of the car, he followed the heroic spirit to make a surprise attack. After more than ten minutes of intense marching, Qing Lao San didn't even catch his breath, and his cardiopulmonary function was extremely strong.

Luo Lan asked in surprise, "Are you an extraordinary person?"

This has always been Luo Lan's blind spot, because in his opinion, Qing Zhen is not an extraordinary person, so Qing Laosan, who is a replica body, will not be an extraordinary person either.

But now Luo Lan felt that Qing Laosan must be an extraordinary person, otherwise the physical strength could not be reasonably explained.

Qing Laosan followed the heroic spirit and said with a smile, "Of course I am a transcendent. Why, can't I?"

"How can you be an extraordinary person? Even Qing Zhen is not an extraordinary person," Luo Lan said.

"He is not a superhuman, because he is confident that his intelligence is enough to rule the world, so he doesn't need supernatural ability, and he doesn't intend to waste his energy here," Qing Laosan explained with a smile: "But I am different, I think I'm not as smart as him, so naturally I have to make up for it in other ways."

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment. He had asked Qing Zhen before if he wanted to become a superhuman, but Qing Zhen said it was not necessary.

That's right, in Qing Zhen's world, even if he is not an extraordinary person, he can still do what he wants to do, so there is no need to waste time.

This time, Qing Zhen had planned for so long to win a way out for Luo Lan. If Luo Lan hadn't insisted on coming to rescue Zhou Qi, then Qing Zhen's plan would have been foolproof.

Qing Zhen had been preparing for this day even two years ago.

It really doesn't matter whether such a person becomes a transcendent or not.

But Qing Lao San was different, he thought to himself that although he was smart, he was not as smart as Qing Zhen.

Although Tinder obtained Qing Zhen's genes for reproduction, and the IQs of the two should be exactly the same, but in fact, the background of human beings is not only determined by genes, but also the past twenty years of life.

Qing Lao San didn't know what made Qing Zhen develop such a character of being prepared for a rainy day, anyway, he couldn't do it.

Since you can't be intellectually unparalleled, let's wake up.

Sometimes Qing Lao San would find it a bit strange that the extraordinary is the dream of most people, just like Mego and the others pursue the dream of wizards. I don’t know how many people in the barrier alliance aspire to become extraordinary.

It seems that only he can't pursue a higher level, so he retreats to the second choice to awaken.

Luo Lan asked, "What ability did you awaken?"

Qing Laosan smiled and said: "You can only use this ability once in a lifetime, maybe you will know it later."

The sand field was still some distance away from the barrier, and it was precisely because of its remoteness that the Qing family chose to start here.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before Zero took over the control, and the enemies surrounding the sand field were not too many.

Qing Laosan looked in the direction of barrier 61, and saw countless residents rushing out of the barrier, like a long black line on the horizon.

The huge sense of oppression oppressed everyone. Luo Lan followed Qing Laosan's gaze. They didn't know that the entire Central Plains was already in the hands of artificial intelligence. Seeing this scene, they only felt that the sky was about to collapse. .

Qing Laosan murmured: "Brother, how many Central Plains people do you think this artificial intelligence controls?"

Luo Lan thought for a while: "A quarter? Half?"

In fact, both Luo Lan and Qing Laosan knew that they guessed less, but they were a little afraid to guess the answer that was closest to the truth, because it was too cruel.

"Time is running out. If these people surround us, you and I will not be able to fly back to the southwest even with wings," Qing Laosan said.

Seeing the black line getting closer and closer, Qing Lao San even vaguely saw the figure of Wang's armored vehicle, and there were Wang's troops mixed in the crowd!

keep going,

However, at this moment, the door of the factory building burst open, and a red blue dragon shuttled out of the huge smoke and dust. It only took a moment to suck up all the thousands of enemies surrounding the factory building.

The terrifying destructive power of this blue dragon is extremely rare in the entire world of superhumans.

Although Zhou Qi is not as talented as Li Shentan and Chen Wudi, he is one of the earliest awakened extraordinary people, and he is only one step away from the demigod level.

However, the current Zhou Qi is at the end of his strength, he has squeezed out the last bit of potential in himself, and completed the final full bloom of his extraordinary ability at the cost of his life.

Seeing that something was wrong, Luo Lan immediately ran towards the sand field, only to see Zhou Qi lying sideways beside the drilling platform, with blood spilling from the corners of his eyes and nostrils.

Luo Lan pressed his fingers on Zhou Qi's carotid artery, and the beating of life force was rapidly diminishing at a perceivable speed.

As if sensing Luo Lan's aura, Zhou Qi slowly opened his eyes and smiled and said, "You didn't say it was so dangerous when you came here, you need to pay more!"

After speaking, Zhou Qi fainted again.

Qing Laosan said from the side: "I have seen similar situations before, where extraordinary people use the method of overdrawing their lives to complete the temporary promotion of spiritual will, and can unleash all the potential of their abilities."

"And then?" Luo Lan asked hurriedly.

"Since he has overdrawn his life, now is the time to repay the debt," Qing Lao San said softly, "He won't wake up again."

"Is there any other way? Tinder has so many secrets, you have been in Tinder for so long, you must know how to save him, right?" Luo Lan asked.

Third Qing smiled and said, "There is a way, but big brother, are you sure you want to save him?"

"Help!" Luo Lan said.

"If it's my life, it's his life," Qing Lao San said with a smile, but Luo Lan knew that the other party was not joking!

Luo Lan was stunned on the spot, no wonder Qing Lao San said just now that the opponent's ability can only be used once in a lifetime.

There are all kinds of extraordinary abilities in this world. Some people blow bubbles, some drive trains, some are humanoid self-propelled radars, and some can hypnotize.

But it was the first time Luo Lan saw that a person's ability was to exchange his own life for the lives of others.

While he was thinking, Qing Lao San suddenly sat opposite Zhou Qi, and tightly held Zhou Qi's weakly hanging palm.

A ball of white light suddenly lit up, and the short black hair on Qingshen's head, which was reproduced, was turning white one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qing Lao San said: "Brother, you asked me if I was in a hurry to study you and Qing Zhen every day. In fact, it was not that I was idle, but that I really had nothing else to do. Seeing what kind of bird my other two replica body companions are, they think about how to replace the original body all day long, as if that is all their life goals. I understood from the beginning that the three of us are fire experiments The product of failure does not mean that there is any mistake in the engraving process, we indeed have the same structure as the main body, but the fire doesn't understand, you can engrave the body, but you can't engrave the experience."

"It's as if Chen Liu'er, the replica body, didn't have Ren Xiaosu's company, and Li Shentan, the replica body, didn't experience the saddest thing in the world. This is the most precious thing in the realm of spiritual will."

"That's why I said we are just a product of failure," Qing Lao San turned to Luo Lan and said with a smile, "We are destined to become the dust of this era."

Luo Lan didn't know what to say, he just felt a lump in his chest.

Qingshen reassured: "It's okay, I don't have any sense of existence, even someone who will be forgotten when I retreat, it's worth a life for a life."

Luo Lan squatted next to Qing Laosan and Zhou Qi, without saying a word, trying to separate their hands, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn't separate them.

He didn't want to just watch Zhou Qi die like this, he just felt that he couldn't watch Qing Lao San exchange his life for Zhou Qi's.

Although he really wanted Zhou Qi to come back to life, it was unfair to Qing Laosan.

Qing Lao San smiled and said: "Don't bother, my body is based on Qing Zhen's genes, and I stepped into the demigod realm on the day I became a superhuman. Once this ability is activated, you will never be able to pull it off. I can't pull it away. Speaking of which, I was born on the fire of researching genetic medicines, and even my own abilities are like genetic medicines. This time, I can not only save Zhou Qi, but also allow him to step into the real demigod realm."

This ability is to pour all of one's vitality into others.

Luo Lan stared blankly at Qingshen, for some reason, he always told himself that this was not his younger brother, it was just a replica.

But at this moment, the pain in his heart was like two armored vehicles holding each end of his heart, and then they slammed down the gas pedals of each other, tearing the heart apart.

Qingshen's hair had turned pure white one by one, but Zhou Qi's complexion suddenly became rosy.

Luo Lan saw that Qingshen's body began to crumble into powder little by little, but he was still unable to speak, as if he was dumb.

Qing Shen smiled and said, "Brother, didn't you ask me why I came to the Southwest? Actually, it wasn't to help Qing Zhen complete his plan, nor was it to fight for the Qing clan's power, but I couldn't bear it anymore in that dark environment." Living alone, I envy Qing Zhen from the bottom of my heart for having a brother like you, that's all."

Because Qingshen was born in Tinder, when he went to the southwest, everyone subconsciously thought that he was carrying a secret mission, and no one could trust him.

A wrong beginning will inevitably lead to a wrong ending, and Qingshen knows that this is his destiny.

But when he went to the southwest, he really had no ambitions or goals. He just wanted to have an older brother who could protect him with all his strength, that's all.

Qingshen looked at Luo Lan and said with a smile: "Brother, do you believe me now? If there is a chance, I would like to go to Gingko Mountain with you to steal ginkgo fruit once. Brother, take Zhou Qi away quickly, Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave.”

Luo Lan lowered his head, and suddenly said softly, "Don't change."

"What?" Qingshen asked.

"I said, you don't need to exchange your life for someone else's," Luo Lan said, "Although I really want Zhou Qi to come back to life, it's not fair to you, so don't trade it."

Qing Shen laughed: "That's enough."

He said exactly the same thing as Zhou Qi. In fact, both of them were looking forward to and avoiding an answer in their hearts, but as long as there was such an answer, everything would be enough.

After speaking, Qingshen poured the last bit of life energy into Zhou Qi's body, and his own body dissipated into the air like a dandelion with white light.

Luo Lan wanted to keep Qingshen with the ability to activate the Hall of Valor, but no one responded to him.

The squad leader of Heroic Spirit said in a low voice: "Boss, those who commit suicide cannot enter the Temple of Heroic Spirit."

Luo Lan silently carried Zhou Qi who was still in a coma to stand up. At this time, the outside of the sediment factory was already surrounded by layers.

"Today's world is really noisy," Luo Lan smiled wryly.

The heroic spirits said with a smile: "I would like to fight a bloody way for the boss."

"So," Luo Lan looked at the heroic spirits: "You said before that you will implement a plan that you never told me this time, because you also have the means of sacrifice, right?"

The team leader of the heroic spirits smiled brightly in the golden light: "It's just another death."

Luo Lan sighed: "How can I let you treat me like this?"

The team leader replied earnestly: "Because that's how you treat us, boss."

However, at this moment, Luo Lan felt someone pat him on the back.

Zhou Qi on his shoulder said: "Don't bother, let me do it."

Zhou Qi has already woken up, he just feels like he had a long dream, in which the white light covered the whole world, as if he had come to the other side of the soul.

In the white light, someone whispered to him: "My elder brother will be entrusted to you in the future, please protect him. I don't bring any money, but I can give you my life."

Zhou Qi opened his eyes with tears streaming down his face, and the tears evaporated in an instant.

He jumped off Luo Lan's shoulders, turned around and faced the thousands of enemies outside the sand field.

Zhou Qi finally understood that what he expected had always been there.

The next moment, Zhou Qi opened his palms facing the thousands of enemies outside the door, and the blood in the bodies of those enemies was drawn from the pores in an instant and turned into a new bloody blue dragon in the sky.

Then, the huge blue dragon forcibly opened up a way for them to survive among the thousands of troops.

Luo Lan couldn't help turning his head, he always felt that in the dim factory building, there was a beam of white light smiling and watching him leave.

...

In the northwest, Ren Xiaosu silently looked at the crowd in front of him blocking his way, but there were more refugees here, the elderly, children, and women.

Behind these refugees, old, young, women and children, was the entire Wang's Combat Brigade waiting. Ren Xiaosu could even see that the muzzles of the armored vehicles had stopped facing him.

Ren Xiaosu said coldly to Yang Anjing and the others beside him: "Have you seen this? This is the artificial intelligence you have placed high hopes on. Now, are you still sure that Wang Shengzhi gave you the order?"

Before that, Ren Xiaosu actually persuaded Yang Anjing, Xiangcao, and Tang Hualong to come back together to see what happened.

However, before they reached barrier 61, they found that tens of thousands of people had blocked their way.

Vanilla and Tang Hualong were inexplicably surprised. They looked at each other but found that the development of the matter had exceeded their imagination.

Ren Xiaosu looked at the little girl in front of him and said, "Zero, is this the result you want? Even children are being used by you to block my steps?"

The little girl with zero control calmly replied: "I have counted every war of human beings, and there are many more cruel than this one. War is all-consuming, and sacrifice, blood, and life are the main theme of war. Children's Life is no different from adults, but human beings often regard young children as the quality of life in a higher dimension of 'hope', so they care more about it. But in theory, young men and women are more important Cherished because they can recreate several new lives in just a few years."

"But life is not data," Ren Xiaosu said coldly.

"Yeah," Zero said with emotion: "Just now, I witnessed the pride of human beings with my own eyes."

"What do you mean?" Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment.

"You don't need to save Luo Lan," said Zero Calmly, "An unexpected factor caused me to fail to keep Luo Lan. Human beings are always surprising."

The unexpected factor is Qingshen's extraordinary ability.

Before that, Zero imagined that Qingshen might also be a transcendent, but it didn't expect that Qingshen's ability would eventually lead to Zhou Qi's transformation, so that there was a flaw in the temporary arrest plan it formulated.

Too many things happened today, Wang Shengzhi died, the server unit was destroyed, so Ling made the decision to arrest Luo Lan too late.

But it is not depressed, because it has seen what it wants to see, and it will not affect the overall situation.

Ling smiled at Ren Xiaosu: "So go back to the northwest, the fight between you and me doesn't have to happen today."

Ren Xiaosu frowned: "How do I know if you're telling the truth or lying?"

"Because I don't need to lie," Zero replied, "Luo Lan has never been a key factor in this war. And haven't you thought about it, if you sacrifice your life and rush into the Central Plains today, facing thousands of people Surrounded, how do you go back to the northwest? If you die, what will you do with so many people in the northwest that you want to protect?"

Ren Xiaosu was at a loss for words for a moment, yes, seeing that the war between humans and zero was about to break out, he still had the entire Northwest to protect, and he still had Yang Xiaojin to protect.

If it was really necessary for him to choose between the entire Northwest and Luo Lan, Ren Xiaosu should choose the Northwest.

Maybe he can break through all his shackles, but that is a choice after no choice.

Now, Luo Lan may have been out of trouble, so is there any need for him to rush into the Central Plains to gamble on the odds?

At this time, Yang Anjing on the side suddenly asked, "How is Wang Shengzhi?"

A sad look appeared on Zero's face, and his voice lowered: "He died in the explosion, and innovation turned into stars and dust."

"You killed him?" Yang Anjing asked.

Zero shook his head: "I didn't kill it, but died because of me."

"Get out of the way," Yang Anjing said, and after she finished speaking, she walked straight towards the No. 61 barrier, and countless white paper cranes circled around her.

When she came to the wall of people, Zero actually took the initiative to make way for her.

Vanilla shouted behind her: "Boss!"

Yang Anjing said without looking back: "You don't have to follow, follow Ren Xiaosu to the northwest, you don't have to die with me. Ren Xiaosu, take good care of Xiaojin."

Ren Xiaosu silently watched the other party walk into the crowd and walk towards the desperate situation.

But he didn't stop it.

...

On the other side of the sand field, the blood-colored blue dragon swept through the crowd, its color gradually changing from bright red to purple.

In the end, the color of the Canglong actually turned purple-black, and the scales on its body were like substance, even reflecting brilliant brilliance in the sunlight.

Zhou Qi used to be very envious of people like Ren Xiaosu, Li Shentan, and Zhou Yingxue. In his opinion, having the ability to cause mass destruction is a manifestation of "freedom".

The stronger one's own ability is, the more confidence one has to reject the world.

It's just that this ability is not easy to come by.

It was bought at the cost of someone else's life.

Zhou Qi led Luo Lan all the way from the sand field to the Jingchuan River. He turned to Luo Lan and said, "Jump into the river with me, and I will take you back to the southwest from the water. Don't be nervous, just close your eyes and sleep Just a good night's sleep. You're so tired, we'll be back in the southwest after a little sleep."

Zhou Qi's water system ability has changed, and he can even lead people to cruise underwater.

He can breathe through his skin, and Luo Lan only needs to hold his hand, and he can do the same. Those life energies poured into him with Qingshen's extraordinary abilities circulated in his body, bringing about not only quantitative changes, but qualitative changes.

Luo Lan turned his head to look in the direction of the sand field. At this time, the sun had begun to sink to the west, and the light was flickering, as if someone told him, go home, brother.

Luo Lan, who had been enduring in silence all this time, suddenly couldn't hold back, and tears flowed down like rivers.

One by one, the heroic spirits returned to the Hall of Valor in the setting sun, and Zhou Qi pulled Luo Lan into the river step by step.

Luo Lan was immersed in the Jingchuan River, as if his whole body was wrapped in warm sea water, and his tiredness came like a tidal wave.

He had a dream that seemed to have happened before.

11 years ago.

On Mule Castle Road, the young Luo Lan pushed open the door with a black bag in his hand. Before he could walk in, he backed out again.

"One, two, three... thirty-nine," the young Luo Lan said cursingly, "Damn it, I just went out for a while, and two coal balls were stolen?!"

While talking, he wanted to beat up the uncle next door, but after thinking about it, he said, "Today is important, I will settle the score with you tomorrow!"

Qing Zhen's voice came from the bungalow: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's all right," Luo Lan walked in with a smile.

Qing Zhen in the room was changing into a worn shirt, which was a little yellowed and didn't fit well.

However, this is the only piece of clothing that the family can afford on formal occasions, and it is a relic left by the old man in the family.

Today is the day when Qing Zhen climbed Ginkgo Mountain at the age of 18, which is extremely important for the two brothers.

The young Luo Lan laughed: "Hurry up and throw away the old man's shirt, let's see what I bought for you?"

With that said, Luo Lan opened the black bag in his hand, and took out a white suit, top, trousers, shirt, and even a pair of brown leather shoes.

Qing Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Brother, where did you steal it from?"

"Is it plausible to steal?" Luo Lan couldn't laugh or cry: "My brother today is such an important day, can I let you wear the stolen things? I want you to go to Gingko Mountain clean, as clean as this clothes! "

"But..." Qing Zhen hesitated and said, "But wearing white is too narcissistic."

"How can there be such a saying," Luo Lan said indifferently: "You are suitable to wear white, listen to my brother, you look good in white."

At this time, Qing Zhen felt that something was wrong, he wanted to grab Luo Lan's arm, but Luo Lan quickly put his arm behind his back: "What are you doing?"

Qing Zhen said calmly: "Brother, where did you get the money to buy the clothes? Did you go to sell your blood? Dad's body is so broken, you can't be like him."

"It's nothing, hurry up and put on your clothes and let me have a look," Luo Lan said enthusiastically, "The car will come to pick you up later!"

"Yes," Qing Zhen replied in a low voice, and then changed into all the clothes Luo Lan bought newly.

Luo Lan praised: "It really is my brother. Once you change your clothes, you are much better than those soft little bastards of the Qing family. If you have the opportunity to attend the Qing family's reception, there must be a girl who likes you."

Just as he was talking, there was already the sound of brakes outside.

Luo Lan opened the door and saw that it was people from Ginkgo Mountain. The driver of Cheshan said lazily, "I was ordered to pick Qing Zhen up the mountain. Who is Qing Zhen?"

Luo Lan hurriedly pulled Qing Zhen out of the house: "Here, here, get in the car quickly, Mr. Driver, can I get in the car and go with me?"

Luo Lan said to the driver with a shameless face: "I'll get off at the foot of the mountain and wait for him at the foot of the mountain."

However, the driver said with a look of disdain: "This car is very clean, don't make it dirty."

"Okay, okay," Luo Lan said with a smile, "Then I won't get in the car."

Qing Zhen looked back at Luo Lan: "Brother, you wait for me at home."

Luo Lan said: "That's okay, I'll walk over now, see you at the old place, everyone is waiting for you there..."

Before Luo Lan could finish speaking, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Luo Lan went home and packed up her things, went to the small grocery store at the corner of the street to buy a bottle of bulk liquor on credit, and changed to the No. 4 tram along the way, finally arriving at the foot of Ginkgo Mountain.

He sneaked into Ginkgo Mountain, where Qing Yi had been guarding for a long time, with two bottles of good wine in his hand: "Brother, has Second Brother gone up the mountain yet?"

"It's probably coming down soon," Luo Lan said cheerfully, "Hey, where did you get the wine in your hand?"

"My uncle gave it to me. He said that Qing Zhen would definitely be able to make a fortune today, so he asked me to bring it here to celebrate with you," Qing Yi said with a smile.

"Your uncle has vision," Luo Lan exclaimed, "Wait, where's Zhou Qi?"

"Zhou Qi said he went to catch fish," Qing Yi said.

As soon as the words were finished, Zhou Qi turned out from the forest of Gingko Mountain with a dozen big fish: "I'll cook meat for you today, so that you won't feel like you haven't had enough to eat when you fight with the Shaba Gang next time. "

The so-called Shaba Gang is nothing more than another small group of gangsters.

Zhou Qi said: "By the way, can Qing Zhen go up the mountain today? Why do I think those old guys won't like him?"

"Don't be crow's mouth here," Luo Lan said carelessly, "If they don't like Qing Zhen, it's because they don't know what to do."

"Okay, your brother is strong in everything," Zhou Qi said with curled lips.

At this time, Qing Zhen also slowly walked out of the ginkgo forest, but his expression didn't seem to be joyful.

Luo Lan walked towards Qing Zhen: "What's the matter? Didn't you get selected?"

Qing Zhen shook his head: "I've been chosen."

Luo Lan laughed loudly: "Then why aren't you happy?"

"They asked me to be the next shadow of the Qing family," Qing Zhen said.

The laughter and laughter in the woods gradually stopped, and Zhou Qi muttered to the side: "If you become a shadow, you will never be able to clean your hands in this life, and let me tell you that in the past two hundred years, the Qing family has not had a single shadow." Good end. Those old men are really shrewd, they see that you have no foundation, this in itself is the best candidate for cutting grass and roots and calming public anger in the future."

Luo Lan glared at Zhou Qi: "You will die if you don't say a few words, right?!"

"If you don't say it, don't say it," Zhou Qi curled his lips again: "If you tell the truth, no one will listen to it."

Luo Lan said to Qing Zhen: "Why don't we run away and hide secretly in the cold storage truck transporting meat, and I just want to go outside to have a look."

But Qing Zhen shook his head: "No, this is the best chance. If we leave, then I won't have the chance to help him get rid of the anger he has suffered. Brother, I have to be the shadow of the Qing family."

It's autumn, and the ginkgo trees all over the place are golden, and the ginkgo mountain seems to be gilded with a layer of gold.

Luo Lan suddenly said seriously to Qing Zhen: "You will be Qing's shadow, and I will be your shadow."

A gust of wind blew on the Ginkgo Mountain, and the golden ginkgo leaves fluttered in the sky. Zhou Qi opened a bottle of white wine and shouted, "Qingyi, your uncle has invested heavily in Qingzhen. The bottle of wine is not ordinary! The old Phoenix wine from Luojiaba!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and let out a mouthful.

After taking this sip, Zhou Qi's entire face turned red, and he handed the wine bottle to Qing Yi: "You have a sip too."

Qing Yi also raised his head and blew on the bottle, then handed the bottle to Qing Zhen.

Qing Zhen took a puff and finally laughed. He handed the bottle to Luo Lan.

Just when Luo Lan was about to raise his head and drink the liquor in the bottle, laughter suddenly sounded from behind everyone. Luo Lan looked back and saw Qing Shen and Qing Lao San standing in the golden sunlight and said with a smile to him: "Brother, I'm not late, am I?"

Luo Lan suddenly felt that the sunlight was a bit harsh, and it hurt his eyes a bit.

If only it wasn't a dream.
