Where is this?
who I am?
In a hazy mist, Jiang Xuezhou opened his eyes and looked blankly at the surrounding haze.
Suddenly, the middle of her eyebrows stinged slightly, and she raised her index finger and pressed it on the middle of her eyebrows. Just as the fingertips touched, the vague memories gradually began to become clear.
The first thing I remembered was my name, followed by the day of my birth, and the surrounding environment also changed, and the smog turned into heavy snow.
It's a girl...
...The brain cells have good activity, good physical fitness, and normal hormone levels, which is a good seedling.
Thank you doctor!
You're welcome, this is what I should have done.
She looks like you.
Then... call her Xuezhou.
It would be great if I could pass the exam.
The silhouette of memory flashed like a slide.
She saw two kind smiles, and then the blurry outline dyed with white frost, and then watched the sound gradually turn into a sad look.
Mom...Dad...
She muttered quietly.
It seems that I have returned to my very young age.
At that time, the family was in a scavenger team, and her mother was in a garment factory. The staple food was potatoes and beets that could grow even in the cold zone. Although the cows were raised in the settlement, they were livestock entrusted by the Science and Technology Commission to the local management. Most people might not be able to eat meat once a week...
She only remembered that her only wish was to pass the assessment of the Science and Technology Commission and enter the college to become an explorer.
That is the only way to change destiny besides wandering on the wasteland, and it is also the only way to change one's life plan for all survivors.
Any family can get huge subsidies from the Science and Technology Commission as long as they can train an apprentice... It is a wealth that everyone will envy. Her parents can live in a larger house, and her brothers and sisters can also change to a more relaxed position, striving to contribute two more good seedlings to the Science and Technology Commission.
For the lucky one who becomes an apprentice, he will live a rich and prosperous life from now on, and there is no need to worry about trivial matters about scientific research.
etc……
Haven’t I passed the assessment?
And he has also become a researcher whom countless apprentices dream of...
A hint of panic suddenly appeared in Jiang Xuezhou's eyes.
I……
How did you come back?
Apart from everything she saw in front of her, she seemed to be unable to remember anything.
An unknown force freezes a part of her memory, limiting its flow rate, allowing it to be released a little bit, and studying it in a cocoon.
‘Answer me.’
The sound in the dark sounded again, with a bewitching force.
‘Remember carefully…’
‘Who is the most important person in your life besides your closest relatives?’
The most important person besides the closest relatives?
A moment of confusion arose in her eyes.
There seems to be no such thing at all...
After entering the exploration team, people will leave every few days. She has become accustomed to jumping from one step to another, slowly forgetting the people she met in different stages of life... including the father, mother, brothers and sisters who have not seen her for many years and may still regard her as glory.
Thinking about it this way...
Her life seemed meaningless, just a program that was designed just right and has run pretty well so far.
It's like...
NPC is the same.
To her expectations.
She thought that the voice in the dark would be as disappointed with her life as she did, but what she didn't expect was that the voice seemed to be very satisfied with her dullness.
A person on the marginal side of society is undoubtedly easier to replace than a person standing in the center of the stage.
People don’t have much memories of her, and they won’t be surprised by the incongruity and change in her.
It's too easy to replace it.
It is so easy that people can't help but wonder whether there is any need to do this.
At this time, the scenery in front of her changed again. The cold wind passing through her neck made her tighten her neck, hugged her almost frostbitten arms, and squatted on the ground.
It was not until this time that she realized that she was squatting naked in the heavy snow, and the boundless wind and snow seemed to be about to completely submerge her.
And in the distance, clusters of green light were like the eyes of aliens, and like the dark fire that shone to hell.
perhaps……
This is my ending.
Like most of the prospectors who walked into the ruins in confusion and died silently with confusion and regret, they could not escape the boring fate.
Just as she was about to close her eyes and accept her fate, a figure suddenly came to the heavy snow like goose feathers.
He was wearing a painted black exoskeleton, and the bulletproof plate on his chest was sunk in. The howling wind seemed to have had a significant impact on him, and every step forward was difficult.
Who is this guy?
The voice in the dark seemed to be confused, and she did not answer her inquiry.
The man called her.
Hello.
A hint of panic appeared on her face, and she even forgot that her whole body had frozen and she collapsed backwards on the cold snow.
Don't go
Stop talking nonsense, how long do you plan to sleep here?The man kept walking to her, ignored her reaction, and grabbed her arm.
Jiang Xuezhou instinctively wanted to struggle, but the man didn't intend to pay attention at all and pulled back without saying a word.
Leaving.
That was the last sentence she heard.
The surrounding scenery changes rapidly like a train window, and the world constructed by fragments of memory collapses in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have come to another world, and the blocked memories also poured into her mind like a tide.
This feeling was like being pulled back to the shore from the deep sea, and the incomplete five senses returned with a breath of breath.
At this time, one hand took off the glasses that were worn on her head.
ah!!!
Jiang Xuezhou let out a frightened scream and quickly shrank to the wall and hugged his arms tightly. Only then did he realize that he was wearing clothes intact.
Her fair face gradually turned into the color of a lantern.
Fortunately, the person who took off the nerve connection device on her head was not looking at her at this moment.
That's all right, right?I've tried my best if it's OK.Ye Shi looked at Yun You beside him and said.
Yunyou, who put away the tablet, nodded and smiled and said.
Well, you have successfully separated and you have done a good job.
True or fake?Ye Shi glanced suspiciously at the girl sitting in the corner of the wall with a blushed face and muttered, "But I feel like there is something wrong with this guy's head."
Yun You was stunned.
Maybe...it will be fine in a while?
According to Zhuang Lan, if the mind is not strong enough, taking off the glasses directly is prone to schizophrenia, unless it is closed through normal channels.
That is, put on the neural connection device and connect it to the memory extraction device, enter the dream constructed by her memory fragments, and let her wake up from the dream on the fly.
Ye Shi didn't want to be so troublesome, but the Grandma from the Ideal City said she couldn't leave that little girl alone.
In order not to affect the subsequent plot, he had no choice but to go to the entertainment room in the living area to find a neural connection device with a universal interface and sent a copy online with Classmate Jiang.
Speaking of which, this guy seemed to have had a long nightmare, there were aliens, mutants, robbers, etc. inside...
He counted and had completed at least six copies just now.
But the final pass was so simple that he felt that he did nothing at all and just pulled her.
Then she woke up.
He thought there would be a boss battle in the future, but he still looked forward to it for a few seconds.
By the way, just before he brought his virtual reality device online to make a copy, the time bomb stuck to the floor-to-ceiling window had been removed by him and Yun You.
That thing turned out to be a micro nuclear bomb with an equivalent weight of 10,000 tons.
It seems that the Enlightenment people plan to completely destroy the here after taking away the data.
Gradually recalling the whole story, Jiang Xuezhou slowly let go of his hand holding his collar, and said softly with a red face and lowered his head.
……Thanks.
No need to thank me, I just pulled you. If you want to thank me, thank that person.
Ye Shi pointed to Yunyou next to her with her chin. She did a lot of the work, but I couldn't understand the code.
Jiang Xuezhou nodded with a red face and said thank you in a low voice to her.
Looking at this polite little girl, Yun You smiled with her arms in her arms and said in a relaxed tone.
You're welcome, although we have been together for a short time, we are also considered partners who have experienced life and death together.
partner……
Jiang Xuezhou silently glanced at Wali lying on the ground, and the scrapped Xiao Wang beside him, bit his lip gently, trying to say something but didn't know how to speak.
Ye Shi walked over, raised Wali's arm, and carried the Willant man from the ground.
Although the people are already cold, I still have to give the Legion an explanation.
Let's go, don't let everyone wait too long.
……
Living area.
Su Ming, Meng Liang and Pangolin who had previously gone to the administrator's office have arrived here and are sitting silently in front of a dusty table.
Especially Su Ming.
After watching Lu Yang's previous video, he seemed to have become a different person, and he didn't say a word along the way from the manager's office to here.
Sitting between the two, Meng Liang smiled bitterly, praying silently in his heart that his partner would come back quickly...
At this moment, the door next to it opened.
The three of them walked in from outside.
Let you wait for a long time.Sitting in front of the table, Yun You looked at the three people at the table apologetically, then looked at Jiang Xuezhou, "Sit down too... What we are going to say next is very important."
As he had already learned the whole story along the way, Jiang Xuezhou didn't say a word and silently pulled open a chair and sat down.
Ye Shi temporarily placed Wali in the corner of the wall, Hexiu clapped his hands, and returned to the table to find an empty chair.
... Let's discuss the torch plan and this 'Sanctuary No. 0'.
Su Ming coughed lightly, first breaking the silence in the room, looking around at everyone present, and speaking.
I can't represent the position of the business, but...as an ideal city citizen, I think we should ruin this place.
He paused, and he continued.
Destruction in the physical sense.
The air was quiet for a while.
I voted in favor.
Pushing his glasses, Yunyou continued to look at everyone sitting here with a serious expression.
...As the degree of mutual trust that does not even have communication channels between various forces in the wasteland, once this evil weapon is unearthed, even if it is just a blueprint... everyone will fall into the prisoner's dilemma.
Ye Shi was stunned.
……What's the meaning?
Yun You smiled and was about to explain to this stupid but indecent silly child, Jiang Xuezhou, who was standing beside him, said with a complicated expression.
It means that the first person to ‘press the button’ will get the most profit, so even those who are not interested in this weapon will have to join the competition because no one can guarantee that others have not made this plan behind their backs.
Seeing that someone had already said it to him, Yun You coughed lightly and said.
… Just like she said.
In reality, the prisoner's dilemma is not absolutely unsolvable.
The reason why prisoners become prisoners is because there is no channel for information exchange, and many problems will naturally be solved.
However, this is the difference between wasteland and real society.
Let alone the Internet, there is no telephone line between enterprises and colleges. There are huge differences between the collective social form and individual thinking logic.
Even organizations like the alliance, which are not very large in management, have troubles with whom they should contact when they first meet with the company.
Not to mention the huge organization that focuses on one route, which has developed for a century and a half.
Once you enter the prisoner's dilemma, there is almost no solution.
Jiang Xuezhou stared at Yun You intently.
But how do we ensure that you have not obtained the research data, and it is just that you don’t want others to get it, so you proposed to destroy this refuge.
Su Ming frowned and stood up at Jiang Xuezhou.
Are you doubting us?
It's just a reasonable question, but your current reaction makes me feel even more suspicious.Being stared at by the murderous gaze, Jiang Xuezhou's face was not very good-looking, but he did not give in at all.
This is no longer about herself.
But the fate of many people...
Ye Shi glanced at her unexpectedly.
I always feel that this guy seems to have become different after coming out of that dream.
Looking at the angry Su Ming, Yun You coughed gently and said in a calm tone.
Su Ming, Ms. Jiang from the college is indispensable, and there is at least one person from all parties involved... so sit down.
... Hearing the unquestionable order, Su Ming did not speak and sat back silently.
He didn't think about what to do to a girl, he just wanted to scare this guy, but he didn't expect it to be useless.
If the academy people die inside, the conditions for blowing up the shelter without any diplomatic risks will not be valid.
Even if they could push the female researcher's death to the Enlightenment Society, the other party believed it or not, was forced to make the worst plan.
After all, the result of the two postures is completely different from the result of the unrecognized death inside and the generous step out of it.
Yunyou looked at Jiang Xuezhou.
What we do to make you believe.
To everyone's expectations.
Representatives from the Academy did not propose some embarrassing conditions for this opportunity.
After staring at Yun You's eyes for a while, she suddenly spoke.
I believe in you.
Yunyou was stunned.
Just as she subconsciously wanted to ask why, Jiang Xuezhou seemed to move away from her eyes embarrassedly and whispered to herself.
...If you want to possess it alone, there is no need to spend that effort to save me, right?Anyway, I'm just an irrelevant little person.
So I believe you.
I also hope...I won't regret my decision.
It’s so... I’ve long said Ah, which made us so nervous.Ye Shihu breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair.
Jiang Xuezhou stared at him annoyed.
Is it too much for me to consider such an important decision for a while?
Ignoring this ungrateful guy, Ye Shi simply raised his hand.
I, vote for it.
The reason is simple, the league cannot win this competition.
This is an objective gap.
Even if the Legion's R&D capabilities and scientific researchers are above them, the advantage of time accumulation cannot be filled in just a few days and months.
Just like although confidence and arrogance are separated by a wall, the result is apart from a hundred and eight thousand miles apart, he is still self-aware of this.
What's more, being dragged into a competition where there is no benefit to the league.
It is foreseeable that apart from the ultimate weapon to restart the world, the plan is likely to produce any phased results that have a positive effect on society.
Taking this issue into consideration, Meng Liang nodded.
Ye Shi and I have the same position.
Except Ye Shi, everyone looked at the pangolin who had said nothing from beginning to end.
Only one person left without a statement.
However, the latter's answer was not beyond the expectations of many people.
Votes in favor.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his tense expression finally eased a little, Yun You showed a happy smile on his face, and he looked at everyone around him with thanksgiving.
Just in the moment, they almost completed a miracle that could not be accomplished in this wasteland.
People from four different places, namely the Legion, Enterprise, Academy and Alliance, have voted the same vote on the issue of the future destiny of civilization.
Just like those brave and ordinary people a few months ago, two hundred years ago, or even longer...
They made ordinary but not simple choices.
……
The bomb starts timing again.
The group evacuated from the shelter.
Before leaving, they took a little time to bring the twelve dormant cabins in Area X-13 to the entrance of the shelter.
The crew on the Trail Blazers have been killed.
At this moment, those who were lying inside were disciples of the Enlightenment Society. According to Zhuang Lan's confession, there was also a guide.
In the organizational structure of the Enlightenment Society, the guide is between elders and disciples, equivalent to the mentor of many disciples.
Although it is cheap for these guys to die silently, as people who have been exposed to those who have been deleted data, letting them be buried with the secrets in their stomachs that shouldn't have come to this world from the beginning is the best choice for people who are still alive on the surface.
As for Zhuang Lan.
It is logical that it should be left to those Willant people to deal with it. After all, she killed one of their commanders, but Su Ming and Yun You both resisted doing so.
…We will not extradite anyone to the Legion, which is equivalent to selling criminals to slave traders.
The pangolin was stunned.
That's not very good.
Before the alliance was established, they seemed to have sold the captive plunderers to the mines in Honghe Town, which was nothing to be ashamed of.
He calls it efficient.
But soon he remembered his undercover role, and his face changed and he glared at Su Ming fiercely.
What do you mean?
Dare you sarcastic?
Abominable East Coast people!
Su Ming ignored him directly and looked at Ye Shi who was laughing for some reason and continued.
One thing is one thing, this is our principle... At least in my opinion, the management of the Enlightenment Society should be punished.Even if she killed the Legion, I would still be disgusted when I think of the things the Willant people did to the prisoners. They are not as simple as sending people into the mine to work... Do you want to hear it?I have heard of some from Xingshang.
Ye Shi coughed.
No.
Don’t be so heavy in the joyful game, he is not the kind of person with bad taste.
Besides, do you still need to guess this kind of thing?
When they seized the Iron Heart, they saved many pity people who had been ruined by those big noses.
A collective of warlords who were feudalized can become a closed small kingdom, as small as an airship or a manor, and the only thing that can restrain the behavior of these Willant people is the moral sense of their direct superiors.
This happens to be the most unreliable.
Even if the legion conquered half of the Central Continent, the most civilized place might be the only city of Triumph under His Majesty the Marshal.
Even Triumph City is just a relatively civilized city.
It is foreseeable that she will not be judged, and her final fate will only be tortured to death by the governor named Cohen.
So let it be handled by you. We won’t hand her over to the Legion anyway, you can do whatever you want.Su Ming shrugged, using this sentence to determine the fate of that person.
Ye Shi felt that this guy had said so much nonsense, but he was just trying to throw the troubles into the league.
However, such a result is not harmful to the league.
Even if she is just a disciple, with the power and speed of three-stage awakening and being sent to participate in this mission, she is at least an elite monster.
If you take some thought, you might be able to ask something from her.
With so many refuges and occupying the Feng Shui treasure land of the Great Desert, I guess there are many good things from the Enlightenment Club.
Thinking of the wrong memory extraction device I saw before, Ye Shi couldn't help but smile a black-bellied smile on his face.
Or just use that one?
He thought it was very reasonable for the person to return the other person's way.
It is necessary to advise the manager.
Hello……
The sound coming from beside him interrupted Ye Shi's mind.
Looking in the direction where the sound came, I saw a D-level researcher from the college standing there, looking like he had something to say.
This guy had never given him a good look, and Ye Shi was not interested in her, so he asked casually impatiently.
What's wrong?
Jiang Xuezhou didn't say anything for a long time.
Just when he was almost impatient, she said in a very low voice.
...You saw it?
Um?Didn't understand what she wanted to ask, Ye Shi replied casually.
Seeing this guy pretending to be stupid, Jiang Xuezhou blushed, gritted his teeth, and finally put the words to his mouth back.
……nothing.
Ye Shi: ???
Damn it!
You have cat cake!
After hurriedly disconnecting from the previous topic, Jiang Xuezhou continued to speak.
By the way...
Ye Shi rolled his eyes impatiently.
So what's wrong?
Jiang Xuezhou asked in a low voice.
That person... pretended to be me, right?
Night Ten: To Ah.
Jiang Xuezhou asked immediately.
How did you recognize me?
She wanted to ask about this question before she came out of the shelter, but she had never thought about how to speak.
Seeing that admiring look, Ye Shi smiled embarrassedly.
This Ah.
To be ashamed, he is a high-profile player at least, but there are too many great people in the group and they are not very good at it.
Especially intuition.
It's not that he bragged, no one in the entire server is better than him.Even the old lady who had lived for more than two hundred years was frightened, and he identified it at a glance.
Oh, isn't that simple... It's not like Ah at all.
Jiang Xuezhou was stunned.
Totally...unlike?
Ye Shi said simply.
Well, maybe my intuition is more keen. The moment that person stood at the door, I knew she was not you.
...It seems that I am very familiar with you.
Ye Shi waved his hand.
You don’t have to be very familiar with each other, but you are you, she is just her... they are not the same person, how can it be the same?
A trace of redness gradually dyed his fair face. Jiang Xuezhou stared at him and gritted his teeth, and finally snorted coldly and walked away.
Ye Shi inexplicably stared at the guy's back as he turned around and left.
Hey.
It's really evil.
I thought I could trigger a hidden task, or because I was too grateful, I burst into gold coins, etc., but I turned around and left.
MMPD!
When did I provoke this guy?
……
Just shortly after Ye Shi and Su Ming and his group evacuated from the Industrial Building, the deafening explosion swallowed the No. 0 refuge.
The 10,000 tons of equivalents released internally were enough to completely blow up the entire unfinished shelter, at least enough to completely destroy part of the server.
The plan brought out from the shelter and the video left by Captain Lu are enough to explain what has happened here.
Although it is a pity that no treasure was taken away from it, this can still be regarded as a barely satisfactory result for all parties.
However, what everyone was surprised was that the chain reaction caused the surface to collapse.
By chance, the power chamber was located just below the ground where the Deciders chased.
The Willant people who had escaped from the buffer cabin had not yet recovered from their horror, and fire broke out under their butts.
The loss is only 10,000 tons of equivalents, and the shelter itself absorbs most of the explosion shock waves.
If the equivalent is larger, I am afraid that few people will survive...
In the camp.
Adria found Chu Guang and said angrily.
What happened to the explosion just now?
Chu Guang looked at this guy with a strange look on his face.
What does it have to do with me?
However, considering the other party's anxious heart, he still coughed lightly and comforted him without any pain.
I heard that it was an unfinished refuge, maybe it was disrepaired... the reactor exploded.
Hearing this sentence, Adria immediately squirted.
How could a third-generation controlled fusion explode?The critical temperature of that thing is billions of degrees!
It may also be tens of billions of degrees, he can't remember it.
But he knew one thing, that was not the kind that could be ignited by a gasoline barrel, even if you threw a lighter.
Chu Guang shrugged and said with no advice.
I didn't know, I'm also confused now... I just hope that my people have come back from below, and they may know something.
Unlike the confused representatives of the Legion, enterprises, and colleges, he actually knew something about what happened below.
The Pangolin can't wait to report the latest plot to him.
Although he was surprised, he still expressed respect for the players' choices.
The league really doesn't need that kind of thing.
He said it.
He will stay with his residents until the end.
Looking at Adria who was furious, Chu Guang continued with a smile.
By the way, if your airship is really not repaired
Forgot!
Before Adria could react, McClass, who had answered in advance, pulled his arm and stared at Chu Guang vigilantly and answered.
We know how to practice ourselves, so you don’t need help!
Looking at General McClan, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said with laughter and cry.
I haven't said anything yet.
McClane said with a dark face.
I don't want to know.
Several Willant people rushed towards the Industrial Building.
Chu Guang guessed that they should have gone to Wali to find out the situation, but unfortunately that brother had been killed by the disciples of the Enlightenment Society.
At this time, his personal guard captain Lu Bei walked from the side.
The young man said with a serious expression as he pressed his right fist against his chest.
…Sir, the wolf cavalry of the Death Corps has locked in the phase cannon that attacked us, but has not found the enemy's command.
Chu Guang frowned.
Not found?
Lu Bei nodded ashamed.
Well... According to a wolf cavalry report, the local command should not be nearby.He found a signal tower in the area near the signal source, which seemed to be connected to other terminals in a wired manner, and seemed to be connecting a long distance away.
who I am?
In a hazy mist, Jiang Xuezhou opened his eyes and looked blankly at the surrounding haze.
Suddenly, the middle of her eyebrows stinged slightly, and she raised her index finger and pressed it on the middle of her eyebrows. Just as the fingertips touched, the vague memories gradually began to become clear.
The first thing I remembered was my name, followed by the day of my birth, and the surrounding environment also changed, and the smog turned into heavy snow.
It's a girl...
...The brain cells have good activity, good physical fitness, and normal hormone levels, which is a good seedling.
Thank you doctor!
You're welcome, this is what I should have done.
She looks like you.
Then... call her Xuezhou.
It would be great if I could pass the exam.
The silhouette of memory flashed like a slide.
She saw two kind smiles, and then the blurry outline dyed with white frost, and then watched the sound gradually turn into a sad look.
Mom...Dad...
She muttered quietly.
It seems that I have returned to my very young age.
At that time, the family was in a scavenger team, and her mother was in a garment factory. The staple food was potatoes and beets that could grow even in the cold zone. Although the cows were raised in the settlement, they were livestock entrusted by the Science and Technology Commission to the local management. Most people might not be able to eat meat once a week...
She only remembered that her only wish was to pass the assessment of the Science and Technology Commission and enter the college to become an explorer.
That is the only way to change destiny besides wandering on the wasteland, and it is also the only way to change one's life plan for all survivors.
Any family can get huge subsidies from the Science and Technology Commission as long as they can train an apprentice... It is a wealth that everyone will envy. Her parents can live in a larger house, and her brothers and sisters can also change to a more relaxed position, striving to contribute two more good seedlings to the Science and Technology Commission.
For the lucky one who becomes an apprentice, he will live a rich and prosperous life from now on, and there is no need to worry about trivial matters about scientific research.
etc……
Haven’t I passed the assessment?
And he has also become a researcher whom countless apprentices dream of...
A hint of panic suddenly appeared in Jiang Xuezhou's eyes.
I……
How did you come back?
Apart from everything she saw in front of her, she seemed to be unable to remember anything.
An unknown force freezes a part of her memory, limiting its flow rate, allowing it to be released a little bit, and studying it in a cocoon.
‘Answer me.’
The sound in the dark sounded again, with a bewitching force.
‘Remember carefully…’
‘Who is the most important person in your life besides your closest relatives?’
The most important person besides the closest relatives?
A moment of confusion arose in her eyes.
There seems to be no such thing at all...
After entering the exploration team, people will leave every few days. She has become accustomed to jumping from one step to another, slowly forgetting the people she met in different stages of life... including the father, mother, brothers and sisters who have not seen her for many years and may still regard her as glory.

It was not until this time that she realized that she was squatting naked in the heavy snow, and the boundless wind and snow seemed to be about to completely submerge her.
And in the distance, clusters of green light were like the eyes of aliens, and like the dark fire that shone to hell.
perhaps……
This is my ending.
Like most of the prospectors who walked into the ruins in confusion and died silently with confusion and regret, they could not escape the boring fate.
Just as she was about to close her eyes and accept her fate, a figure suddenly came to the heavy snow like goose feathers.
He was wearing a painted black exoskeleton, and the bulletproof plate on his chest was sunk in. The howling wind seemed to have had a significant impact on him, and every step forward was difficult.
Who is this guy?
The voice in the dark seemed to be confused, and she did not answer her inquiry.
The man called her.
Hello.
A hint of panic appeared on her face, and she even forgot that her whole body had frozen and she collapsed backwards on the cold snow.
Don't go
Stop talking nonsense, how long do you plan to sleep here?The man kept walking to her, ignored her reaction, and grabbed her arm.
Jiang Xuezhou instinctively wanted to struggle, but the man didn't intend to pay attention at all and pulled back without saying a word.

The surrounding scenery changes rapidly like a train window, and the world constructed by fragments of memory collapses in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have come to another world, and the blocked memories also poured into her mind like a tide.
This feeling was like being pulled back to the shore from the deep sea, and the incomplete five senses returned with a breath of breath.
At this time, one hand took off the glasses that were worn on her head.
ah!!!
Jiang Xuezhou let out a frightened scream and quickly shrank to the wall and hugged his arms tightly. Only then did he realize that he was wearing clothes intact.
Her fair face gradually turned into the color of a lantern.
Fortunately, the person who took off the nerve connection device on her head was not looking at her at this moment.
That's all right, right?I've tried my best if it's OK.Ye Shi looked at Yun You beside him and said.
Yunyou, who put away the tablet, nodded and smiled and said.
Well, you have successfully separated and you have done a good job.
True or fake?Ye Shi glanced suspiciously at the girl sitting in the corner of the wall with a blushed face and muttered, "But I feel like there is something wrong with this guy's head."
Yun You was stunned.
Maybe...it will be fine in a while?
According to Zhuang Lan, if the mind is not strong enough, taking off the glasses directly is prone to schizophrenia, unless it is closed through normal channels.
That is, put on the neural connection device and connect it to the memory extraction device, enter the dream constructed by her memory fragments, and let her wake up from the dream on the fly.
Ye Shi didn't want to be so troublesome, but the Grandma from the Ideal City said she couldn't leave that little girl alone.
In order not to affect the subsequent plot, he had no choice but to go to the entertainment room in the living area to find a neural connection device with a universal interface and sent a copy online with Classmate Jiang.
Speaking of which, this guy seemed to have had a long nightmare, there were aliens, mutants, robbers, etc. inside...
He counted and had completed at least six copies just now.
But the final pass was so simple that he felt that he did nothing at all and just pulled her.
Then she woke up.
He thought there would be a boss battle in the future, but he still looked forward to it for a few seconds.
By the way, just before he brought his virtual reality device online to make a copy, the time bomb stuck to the floor-to-ceiling window had been removed by him and Yun You.
That thing turned out to be a micro nuclear bomb with an equivalent weight of 10,000 tons.
It seems that the Enlightenment people plan to completely destroy the here after taking away the data.
Gradually recalling the whole story, Jiang Xuezhou slowly let go of his hand holding his collar, and said softly with a red face and lowered his head.
……Thanks.
No need to thank me, I just pulled you. If you want to thank me, thank that person.
Ye Shi pointed to Yunyou next to her with her chin. She did a lot of the work, but I couldn't understand the code.
Jiang Xuezhou nodded with a red face and said thank you in a low voice to her.
Looking at this polite little girl, Yun You smiled with her arms in her arms and said in a relaxed tone.
You're welcome, although we have been together for a short time, we are also considered partners who have experienced life and death together.
partner……
Jiang Xuezhou silently glanced at Wali lying on the ground, and the scrapped Xiao Wang beside him, bit his lip gently, trying to say something but didn't know how to speak.
Ye Shi walked over, raised Wali's arm, and carried the Willant man from the ground.
Although the people are already cold, I still have to give the Legion an explanation.
Let's go, don't let everyone wait too long.
……
Living area.
Su Ming, Meng Liang and Pangolin who had previously gone to the administrator's office have arrived here and are sitting silently in front of a dusty table.
Especially Su Ming.
After watching Lu Yang's previous video, he seemed to have become a different person, and he didn't say a word along the way from the manager's office to here.
Sitting between the two, Meng Liang smiled bitterly, praying silently in his heart that his partner would come back quickly...
At this moment, the door next to it opened.
The three of them walked in from outside.
Let you wait for a long time.Sitting in front of the table, Yun You looked at the three people at the table apologetically, then looked at Jiang Xuezhou, "Sit down too... What we are going to say next is very important."
As he had already learned the whole story along the way, Jiang Xuezhou didn't say a word and silently pulled open a chair and sat down.
Ye Shi temporarily placed Wali in the corner of the wall, Hexiu clapped his hands, and returned to the table to find an empty chair.
... Let's discuss the torch plan and this 'Sanctuary No. 0'.
Su Ming coughed lightly, first breaking the silence in the room, looking around at everyone present, and speaking.
I can't represent the position of the business, but...as an ideal city citizen, I think we should ruin this place.
He paused, and he continued.
Destruction in the physical sense.
The air was quiet for a while.
I voted in favor.
Pushing his glasses, Yunyou continued to look at everyone sitting here with a serious expression.
...As the degree of mutual trust that does not even have communication channels between various forces in the wasteland, once this evil weapon is unearthed, even if it is just a blueprint... everyone will fall into the prisoner's dilemma.
Ye Shi was stunned.
……What's the meaning?
Yun You smiled and was about to explain to this stupid but indecent silly child, Jiang Xuezhou, who was standing beside him, said with a complicated expression.
It means that the first person to ‘press the button’ will get the most profit, so even those who are not interested in this weapon will have to join the competition because no one can guarantee that others have not made this plan behind their backs.
Seeing that someone had already said it to him, Yun You coughed lightly and said.
… Just like she said.
In reality, the prisoner's dilemma is not absolutely unsolvable.
The reason why prisoners become prisoners is because there is no channel for information exchange, and many problems will naturally be solved.
However, this is the difference between wasteland and real society.
Let alone the Internet, there is no telephone line between enterprises and colleges. There are huge differences between the collective social form and individual thinking logic.
Even organizations like the alliance, which are not very large in management, have troubles with whom they should contact when they first meet with the company.
Not to mention the huge organization that focuses on one route, which has developed for a century and a half.
Once you enter the prisoner's dilemma, there is almost no solution.
Jiang Xuezhou stared at Yun You intently.
But how do we ensure that you have not obtained the research data, and it is just that you don’t want others to get it, so you proposed to destroy this refuge.
Su Ming frowned and stood up at Jiang Xuezhou.
Are you doubting us?
It's just a reasonable question, but your current reaction makes me feel even more suspicious.Being stared at by the murderous gaze, Jiang Xuezhou's face was not very good-looking, but he did not give in at all.
This is no longer about herself.
But the fate of many people...
Ye Shi glanced at her unexpectedly.
I always feel that this guy seems to have become different after coming out of that dream.
Looking at the angry Su Ming, Yun You coughed gently and said in a calm tone.
Su Ming, Ms. Jiang from the college is indispensable, and there is at least one person from all parties involved... so sit down.
... Hearing the unquestionable order, Su Ming did not speak and sat back silently.
He didn't think about what to do to a girl, he just wanted to scare this guy, but he didn't expect it to be useless.
If the academy people die inside, the conditions for blowing up the shelter without any diplomatic risks will not be valid.
Even if they could push the female researcher's death to the Enlightenment Society, the other party believed it or not, was forced to make the worst plan.
After all, the result of the two postures is completely different from the result of the unrecognized death inside and the generous step out of it.
Yunyou looked at Jiang Xuezhou.
What we do to make you believe.
To everyone's expectations.
Representatives from the Academy did not propose some embarrassing conditions for this opportunity.
After staring at Yun You's eyes for a while, she suddenly spoke.
I believe in you.
Yunyou was stunned.
Just as she subconsciously wanted to ask why, Jiang Xuezhou seemed to move away from her eyes embarrassedly and whispered to herself.
...If you want to possess it alone, there is no need to spend that effort to save me, right?Anyway, I'm just an irrelevant little person.
So I believe you.
I also hope...I won't regret my decision.
It’s so... I’ve long said Ah, which made us so nervous.Ye Shihu breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair.
Jiang Xuezhou stared at him annoyed.
Is it too much for me to consider such an important decision for a while?
Ignoring this ungrateful guy, Ye Shi simply raised his hand.
I, vote for it.
The reason is simple, the league cannot win this competition.
This is an objective gap.
Even if the Legion's R&D capabilities and scientific researchers are above them, the advantage of time accumulation cannot be filled in just a few days and months.
Just like although confidence and arrogance are separated by a wall, the result is apart from a hundred and eight thousand miles apart, he is still self-aware of this.
What's more, being dragged into a competition where there is no benefit to the league.
It is foreseeable that apart from the ultimate weapon to restart the world, the plan is likely to produce any phased results that have a positive effect on society.
Taking this issue into consideration, Meng Liang nodded.
Ye Shi and I have the same position.
Except Ye Shi, everyone looked at the pangolin who had said nothing from beginning to end.
Only one person left without a statement.
However, the latter's answer was not beyond the expectations of many people.
Votes in favor.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his tense expression finally eased a little, Yun You showed a happy smile on his face, and he looked at everyone around him with thanksgiving.
Just in the moment, they almost completed a miracle that could not be accomplished in this wasteland.
People from four different places, namely the Legion, Enterprise, Academy and Alliance, have voted the same vote on the issue of the future destiny of civilization.
Just like those brave and ordinary people a few months ago, two hundred years ago, or even longer...
They made ordinary but not simple choices.
……
The bomb starts timing again.
The group evacuated from the shelter.
Before leaving, they took a little time to bring the twelve dormant cabins in Area X-13 to the entrance of the shelter.
The crew on the Trail Blazers have been killed.
At this moment, those who were lying inside were disciples of the Enlightenment Society. According to Zhuang Lan's confession, there was also a guide.
In the organizational structure of the Enlightenment Society, the guide is between elders and disciples, equivalent to the mentor of many disciples.
Although it is cheap for these guys to die silently, as people who have been exposed to those who have been deleted data, letting them be buried with the secrets in their stomachs that shouldn't have come to this world from the beginning is the best choice for people who are still alive on the surface.
As for Zhuang Lan.
It is logical that it should be left to those Willant people to deal with it. After all, she killed one of their commanders, but Su Ming and Yun You both resisted doing so.
…We will not extradite anyone to the Legion, which is equivalent to selling criminals to slave traders.
The pangolin was stunned.
That's not very good.
Before the alliance was established, they seemed to have sold the captive plunderers to the mines in Honghe Town, which was nothing to be ashamed of.
He calls it efficient.
But soon he remembered his undercover role, and his face changed and he glared at Su Ming fiercely.
What do you mean?
Dare you sarcastic?
Abominable East Coast people!
Su Ming ignored him directly and looked at Ye Shi who was laughing for some reason and continued.
One thing is one thing, this is our principle... At least in my opinion, the management of the Enlightenment Society should be punished.Even if she killed the Legion, I would still be disgusted when I think of the things the Willant people did to the prisoners. They are not as simple as sending people into the mine to work... Do you want to hear it?I have heard of some from Xingshang.
Ye Shi coughed.
No.
Don’t be so heavy in the joyful game, he is not the kind of person with bad taste.
Besides, do you still need to guess this kind of thing?
When they seized the Iron Heart, they saved many pity people who had been ruined by those big noses.
A collective of warlords who were feudalized can become a closed small kingdom, as small as an airship or a manor, and the only thing that can restrain the behavior of these Willant people is the moral sense of their direct superiors.
This happens to be the most unreliable.
Even if the legion conquered half of the Central Continent, the most civilized place might be the only city of Triumph under His Majesty the Marshal.
Even Triumph City is just a relatively civilized city.
It is foreseeable that she will not be judged, and her final fate will only be tortured to death by the governor named Cohen.
So let it be handled by you. We won’t hand her over to the Legion anyway, you can do whatever you want.Su Ming shrugged, using this sentence to determine the fate of that person.
Ye Shi felt that this guy had said so much nonsense, but he was just trying to throw the troubles into the league.
However, such a result is not harmful to the league.
Even if she is just a disciple, with the power and speed of three-stage awakening and being sent to participate in this mission, she is at least an elite monster.
If you take some thought, you might be able to ask something from her.
With so many refuges and occupying the Feng Shui treasure land of the Great Desert, I guess there are many good things from the Enlightenment Club.
Thinking of the wrong memory extraction device I saw before, Ye Shi couldn't help but smile a black-bellied smile on his face.
Or just use that one?
He thought it was very reasonable for the person to return the other person's way.
It is necessary to advise the manager.
Hello……
The sound coming from beside him interrupted Ye Shi's mind.
Looking in the direction where the sound came, I saw a D-level researcher from the college standing there, looking like he had something to say.
This guy had never given him a good look, and Ye Shi was not interested in her, so he asked casually impatiently.
What's wrong?
Jiang Xuezhou didn't say anything for a long time.
Just when he was almost impatient, she said in a very low voice.
...You saw it?
Um?Didn't understand what she wanted to ask, Ye Shi replied casually.
Seeing this guy pretending to be stupid, Jiang Xuezhou blushed, gritted his teeth, and finally put the words to his mouth back.
……nothing.
Ye Shi: ???
Damn it!
You have cat cake!
After hurriedly disconnecting from the previous topic, Jiang Xuezhou continued to speak.
By the way...
Ye Shi rolled his eyes impatiently.
So what's wrong?
Jiang Xuezhou asked in a low voice.
That person... pretended to be me, right?
Night Ten: To Ah.
Jiang Xuezhou asked immediately.
How did you recognize me?
She wanted to ask about this question before she came out of the shelter, but she had never thought about how to speak.
Seeing that admiring look, Ye Shi smiled embarrassedly.
This Ah.
To be ashamed, he is a high-profile player at least, but there are too many great people in the group and they are not very good at it.
Especially intuition.
It's not that he bragged, no one in the entire server is better than him.Even the old lady who had lived for more than two hundred years was frightened, and he identified it at a glance.
Oh, isn't that simple... It's not like Ah at all.
Jiang Xuezhou was stunned.
Totally...unlike?
Ye Shi said simply.
Well, maybe my intuition is more keen. The moment that person stood at the door, I knew she was not you.
...It seems that I am very familiar with you.
Ye Shi waved his hand.
You don’t have to be very familiar with each other, but you are you, she is just her... they are not the same person, how can it be the same?
A trace of redness gradually dyed his fair face. Jiang Xuezhou stared at him and gritted his teeth, and finally snorted coldly and walked away.
Ye Shi inexplicably stared at the guy's back as he turned around and left.
Hey.
It's really evil.
I thought I could trigger a hidden task, or because I was too grateful, I burst into gold coins, etc., but I turned around and left.
MMPD!
When did I provoke this guy?
……
Just shortly after Ye Shi and Su Ming and his group evacuated from the Industrial Building, the deafening explosion swallowed the No. 0 refuge.
The 10,000 tons of equivalents released internally were enough to completely blow up the entire unfinished shelter, at least enough to completely destroy part of the server.
The plan brought out from the shelter and the video left by Captain Lu are enough to explain what has happened here.
Although it is a pity that no treasure was taken away from it, this can still be regarded as a barely satisfactory result for all parties.
However, what everyone was surprised was that the chain reaction caused the surface to collapse.
By chance, the power chamber was located just below the ground where the Deciders chased.
The Willant people who had escaped from the buffer cabin had not yet recovered from their horror, and fire broke out under their butts.
The loss is only 10,000 tons of equivalents, and the shelter itself absorbs most of the explosion shock waves.
If the equivalent is larger, I am afraid that few people will survive...
In the camp.
Adria found Chu Guang and said angrily.
What happened to the explosion just now?
Chu Guang looked at this guy with a strange look on his face.
What does it have to do with me?
However, considering the other party's anxious heart, he still coughed lightly and comforted him without any pain.
I heard that it was an unfinished refuge, maybe it was disrepaired... the reactor exploded.
Hearing this sentence, Adria immediately squirted.
How could a third-generation controlled fusion explode?The critical temperature of that thing is billions of degrees!
It may also be tens of billions of degrees, he can't remember it.
But he knew one thing, that was not the kind that could be ignited by a gasoline barrel, even if you threw a lighter.
Chu Guang shrugged and said with no advice.
I didn't know, I'm also confused now... I just hope that my people have come back from below, and they may know something.
Unlike the confused representatives of the Legion, enterprises, and colleges, he actually knew something about what happened below.
The Pangolin can't wait to report the latest plot to him.
Although he was surprised, he still expressed respect for the players' choices.
The league really doesn't need that kind of thing.
He said it.
He will stay with his residents until the end.
Looking at Adria who was furious, Chu Guang continued with a smile.
By the way, if your airship is really not repaired
Forgot!
Before Adria could react, McClass, who had answered in advance, pulled his arm and stared at Chu Guang vigilantly and answered.
We know how to practice ourselves, so you don’t need help!
Looking at General McClan, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said with laughter and cry.
I haven't said anything yet.
McClane said with a dark face.
I don't want to know.
Several Willant people rushed towards the Industrial Building.
Chu Guang guessed that they should have gone to Wali to find out the situation, but unfortunately that brother had been killed by the disciples of the Enlightenment Society.
At this time, his personal guard captain Lu Bei walked from the side.
The young man said with a serious expression as he pressed his right fist against his chest.
…Sir, the wolf cavalry of the Death Corps has locked in the phase cannon that attacked us, but has not found the enemy's command.
Chu Guang frowned.
Not found?
Lu Bei nodded ashamed.
Well... According to a wolf cavalry report, the local command should not be nearby.He found a signal tower in the area near the signal source, which seemed to be connected to other terminals in a wired manner, and seemed to be connecting a long distance away.
