Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

The biggest gain Chen Yan gained while accompanying the workers on the front line was the opinions put forward by the workers.

Any work must contain trivial parts. For every work system, systematic self-correction is the most difficult part to establish.

The quantum clone helped Chen Yan stay with most of the workers. Frontal communication and more nuanced synaesthesia made him aware of all the difficulties he faced at work, as well as the loopholes in the work rules temporarily formulated by the United Group.

After receiving this feedback, the United Group's Foreign Affairs Office—mainly composed of Z Group executives and a small number of employees from other companies—began to correct and adjust the front-line work system.

They - including Chen Yan - are careful and considerate, collecting every feedback and every change in work situation, and correcting mistakes in the shortest possible time.

They - the workers on the front lines, and the vast majority of people in the Foreign Office - they are not the same people who remain in the conference rooms of the United Group today.

The vast majority of them have faith in their hearts. They believe that relying on their own hands, the world will become better and better.

They believe that as long as they work hard, they will get the rewards they deserve.

Of course they know that there is still [success] between [effort] and [reward].

But they want to believe it.

They have faith in their hearts for a better life in the future.

This belief allowed them to persevere in the ice and snow.

……

Chen Yan quickly developed another ability to link quantum clones and synesthesia——

After transforming people into quantum clones, he was able to quickly accept the working knowledge obtained from the logistics center database by whispering to the workers.

——This new capability directly omits the long and costly process of “skills training”.

People can accept a skill in a short period of time and quickly master it in practical work. Although there will definitely be obstacles, most of them can be solved through knowledge and practical work itself.

——While performing such a large amount of work, Chen Yan's extraordinary power rapidly expanded and became stronger, and he accumulated more and more out of control.

He had to transform more people into quantum clones - reservoirs of his out-of-control power.

——He didn’t mind such means, and even did more than necessary. He seemed to have predicted his ending, so he almost did whatever it took at this moment.

From that day on, Chen Yan never rested again.

He never returned to his body.

Synesthesia has changed under such extreme use - it seems to be evolution, and it seems to be something else. Chen Yan's feelings about people are getting deeper and deeper. In addition to deep-seated memories and emotions, there are also deeper s things……

Under the heavy snow, in the hazy halo, trembling in the dim light, is this human nature?

Chen Yan didn't know.

He didn't have time to care about such things.

He has a huge amount of work to do, and controlling the quantum clone requires all his energy. Apart from that, he has almost no time to care about anything else.

Chen Yan appears next to countless people at all times, listening to what they say without any barriers, communicating with them, and coordinating all work.

At the same time, he appeared in every corner of the mechanical hive, using violent means to uphold the justice he insisted on.

He realized more clearly that he was not a good person from beginning to end.

It’s just that the education he received gave him faith, everything he experienced strengthened his faith, and the practice supported by his heartfelt pursuit made him what he is today.

Therefore, he did what he did now while restraining his nature.

……

In the process of the "expanded" operation of the quantum clone, Chen Yan found that he had become something similar to a "central brain", which may also be called a "hive"——

He is parasitic in the server of the mechanical hive, greedily absorbing up to 1 byte of knowledge stored in the server like a worm.

And use quantum entanglement as a channel to transmit this knowledge to every staff member who needs knowledge.

Chen Yan didn't know how long such a life would last - he had no time to care about such problems, he just ran at maximum power like a machine.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, the first island chain was rapidly developed, and miracles also appeared under the power of people——

However, in more than a week, a complete transportation channel has been built on the ice of the entire first island chain.

Most of the resource islands in the first island chain have restarted, and truck after truck of various reserve grains, mineral resources, natural gas, and oil resources have been transported into the mechanical hive.

The magnitude of these resources is large, and a large part is stored. The other part is used to build artificial plantations and artificial breeding gardens for mechanical hives, and only a small part is used to support people's survival.

——Since the population in the mechanical hive is really small, even a small amount of energy investment allows every household to use natural gas and sufficient electricity.

Also after the gas pipelines were restarted, the gas company turned on full power, so there was hot water again in the heating pipes leading to thousands of households.

——Since everything is centrally allocated by the United Group, these resources do not require any more money from the public.

Perhaps because human beings are really lucky, during this special period, the new monetary policy of the United Group has also been greatly developed.

——Due to the great security and the preservation rate under the control of the United Group, the new currency will soon be exchanged on everyone’s mobile phone.

Each unit of new currency has a corresponding anti-counterfeiting identification code. On the premise of ensuring everyone's privacy, any illegal transactions can be traced to their source.

——In the early days of the implementation of the new monetary policy, more than a dozen black markets, large and small, quickly appeared within the mechanical hive.

Bartering on the black market is extremely dangerous, but there are still people doing shady business at the risk of losing their heads.

For these people, their assets are not visible to the public, and they were used to using cash for transactions in the days when logistics centers ruled. Now that they suddenly have no cash, the materials they originally earned through dirty means cannot be exported through the original channels. Goods.

The black market was quickly wiped out as soon as it appeared. It revived in a short period of time and was quickly wiped out again by the armed forces of the United Group.

After repeating this process several times, there was finally nothing like a black market.

What remains is people's spontaneous bartering. Although it needs to be controlled, it no longer poses a threat to the implementation of the new currency.

According to Z Group's internal plans and deductions, when the new currency is fully used, if the monetary policy itself is fair enough, naturally no one will barter anymore, and there will no longer be an organization similar to the black market.

As for other aspects, including the cold-proof construction of the mechanical hive itself and preventive measures for the next apocalypse, preparations have been made.

[The next apocalypse], this is one of the things that Chen Yan is most worried about.

Judging from previous experience, humans are powerless against the power of the world.

Just one tsunami almost destroyed the entire human civilization. Chen Yan could not imagine what the world would look like when the next apocalypse came.

He could only use the extreme imagination of the United Group's think tanks to build the mechanical hive into something similar to an air raid shelter.

And it broke the ice downwards, allowing the entire mechanical hive to sink under the ice for disguised warmth.

……

All work is difficult and is the result of countless efforts by everyone.

Fortunately, the end of the world has united mankind again. Since Chen Yan "reprimanded" some restless people in the United Group last time, they have indeed stopped making small moves in private.

People's lives seemed to get better in a short time. If the remaining usage time of various resources were not marked on the official website of the United Group at all times, and if not everyone had to perform all work through the official website of the United Group, Maybe everyone already thinks that the apocalypse is over, maybe everyone already thinks that they have survived...

People passively accepted all the drastic changes, as if they were adapting to everything that had happened in the empire in the past few years.

Like them, Chen Yan was once at a loss in the drastic changes of the times, and was pushed forward by the torrent of the times.

Even now that he has become a ruler, he still connects with those who were once like him through synaesthesia. He feels their feelings, listens to their inner voices, and adjusts some of the rules when he thinks it's necessary.

Time flies by.

……

A few days later, the arrival of two visitors broke Chen Yan's state of concentration, to the point where he was almost suspended in suspended animation——

A shuttle boat sits on the tarmac of the last air port that will be demolished.

News of their arrival spread quickly, and the survivors in the mechanical hive were almost emotionally detonated by their arrival——

Besides us, there are other human survivors!

This is definitely one of the most exciting news for the entire mechanical hive after the tsunami!

However, the two visitors did not appear in public. They obviously had their own channels. They only appeared once on the tarmac and then disappeared from people's sight.

……

When Chen Yan woke up because someone appeared in front of him, he was already emaciated from not eating for many days - he was obviously squeezing his life force.

The two people in front of him didn't know that he had almost given up on his true body, and his now awakened true body was only one of his quantum clones.

If we insist on saying that there is any difference between it and the countless other quantum clones, it may just be the eyes of the demihuman king that can spy on everything.

Chen Yan kept this body to maintain the activity of these eyes, just to obtain the holographic image of the island chain.

They looked at him, who was as haggard as a human being, and couldn't imagine what had happened to him, nor could they imagine how long he could last.

……

A moment later, in the dining room of Chen Yan's cabin, Chen Yan, Ogami, and Miao Shuisheng were sitting around the dining table.

Klein is on the table——

Ogami held a cup of hot water and looked at the long knife placed on the table in front of him.

"Kleon turned into this knife. After killing the grand leader, he never responded."

For Ogami, it is necessary to meet Chen Yan. He needs to tell Chen Yan the truth about what he saw and ask Chen Yan to help him next.

For Miao Shuisheng, the moment he met Chen Yan again, the whole world had changed. Everything had changed, and both of them had put aside their original grudges.

As a handful of people exposed to the truth about the world, they apparently all felt the need to communicate with each other.

Ogami told Chen Yan their experiences along the way in very simple language.

"That's probably what happened."

Miao Shuisheng changed his usual posture and sat there without saying a word as if he had lost his soul. Ogami completed the narration alone.

Their stories reminded Chen Yan of the information he got from dreams a few days ago, and he gained a deeper understanding of the world.

"Xanthium wants to continue this world indefinitely. This is not a good symbolism. I have probably seen such a future...

In such a future, everyone would have a miserable life, so it is best not to have such a future. "

He asked them:

"What are your plans?"

Ogami said:

"I plan to find a way to go to the BIOS again and kill the grand leader's backup.

No matter how many backups he has or how many times he regenerates, I will kill him as many times as he wants.

In addition, I decided to tell Nuomiguo the truth about the world and let her decide whether to stay or go. "

Judging from the entire incident described by Ogami before, he was really exhausted due to information asymmetry. If Nuomiguo went to BIOS with him, the trip would be much smoother.

——Of course, if she is willing.

Chen Yan said:

"As it should be."

He turned to look at Miao Shuisheng.

The latter felt his gaze and was no longer silent:

"I denied everything about Xanthium, cut off all ties with him, and gained true freedom."

He frowned:

“But I always felt like something was wrong, I felt empty inside.

I reflect on myself and there is nothing that makes me feel empty.

I don't know why..."

Chen Yan said:

"It's because of Liang Ansheng."

Miao Shuisheng's eyes froze.

Chen Yan added:

"Have you ever thought about chatting with Liang Ansheng face to face?"

Miao Shuisheng had obviously never thought about this.

Chen Yan continued to guide the conversation:

"Let's do this. I'll send you to talk to Liang Ansheng in person, and you can also do me a favor——

Whether you had a pleasant chat or not, tell me what happened between you later. "

Miao Shuisheng hesitated, struggled, and finally said:

"Why are you so sure..."

When he asked this question, he noticed Chen Yan's eyes that were different from before, and he suddenly realized.

He gave his decision.

"no problem."

Chen Yan said:

"Don't resist me in your heart, and then slowly recall Liang Ansheng's appearance. That will be the coordinate of your upcoming arrival."

Miao Shuisheng closed his eyes and gradually relaxed, then Liang Ansheng's appearance appeared in his mind.

The next moment, Miao Shuisheng disappeared from the cabin.

Just as Ogami was about to ask, he suddenly saw a piece of paper appear on the table in front of him.

Chen Yan said:

"In the deeper world where time rules are disordered, Miao Shuisheng has found his own destination."

He opened the letter and saw Miao Shuisheng's last words.
