Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 990 The Little Theater of Desire ([-]): A sudden turn of events
The "power failure" itself brought unimaginable panic to Wish. She had never encountered such a situation in her long life, and the situation she faced now was completely unknown.

'calm down……'

While wishing was wringing out the clothes that she had conjured up at random, she regretted why she didn't wear power armor in the first place. She wringed out the clothes almost, came to the front desk of the ship, scanned the dock with radar like a mortal, and then Breaking into a cold sweat.

What appeared on the radar was not only the pier that had been blasted into a huge crater by a huge cannonball, but also densely packed small moving dots surrounding the pier - small things that looked like frogs, but obviously had different types of limbs. They are scattered throughout the area where the dock is located, with a fair number on the shore and others surrounding the boats.

'damn it……'

Wishes subconsciously glanced at his back.

Those little things are not on board yet.

'They're watching...'

Wishful insight made her aware of their condition.

'They...are beasts, no matter what they were before, they are beasts now...beasts that rely on instinct to hunt!

They haven't boarded the ship yet, not because they are not hungry, but because they don't understand the lights on the ship, so they retain their instinctive fear as beasts. '

Desire's hands pressing on the console couldn't help but tremble, and tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes.

Her swaying eyes moved to the display screen in front of her again. The broken giant pit occupied most of the underwater area, almost forming a perfect circle. The time when the giant pit was formed was too far away, so the current giant pit has already A large number of aquatic creatures appeared - the type that Wish seems familiar with, but feels strange at the same time.

She realized that the huge crater in front of her should be some kind of war relic, and the abnormally hot part in the center of the crater was obviously some kind of radiation.

'Is it... the crater of a nuclear bomb...'

She realizes:

'Then, these frogs...frog monsters should be small animals mutated by radiation...or people. '

Truth and fear go hand in hand.

'Get out of here as soon as possible! '

The hope is to analyze the terrain map simulated by the radar map and find an area on the edge of the crater with almost no frogmen. Then, the ship's lights will be extinguished, and the engine will be turned off after traveling a certain distance, so that the lifeboat can rely on inertia to survive the current. ——Or it may be moving forward slowly under the power of the tide.

The darkness is not only frightening, but also irritating, because the wish does not see the moonlight, is there no moon in the BIOS?

She raised her head and looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a faint white light appearing at the end of her field of vision. The intensity of these white lights was very low. Although she could see it, she could hardly tell what properties the white light had.

She couldn't identify it, nor did she have any way to try to know. There was a strange white noise coming from the city deep in the dock. Desire had never heard anything like that before, and she could only vaguely feel that the sound was not natural.

The lifeboat moved forward in the darkness, and the fishy night wind made the damn darkness even weirder. The compensation of the organs allowed the ears to hear more distant sounds, which were like gunshots, but yet Stronger than gunfire.

After several frightening deviations from the course, the lifeboat finally docked more than 10 meters away from the expected position. Wishes picked up the fire crowbar on the lifeboat and jumped towards the broken coast. .

After landing, she immediately walked towards the deeper land. In any case, the ground was much safer than underwater where her body could not respond immediately.

Her feet were already covered in some kind of moss. She wished that this moss also had excessive vitality. As long as she stayed in the same position for a while, these sticky and disgusting little things would cling to her shoes. , crawling towards her ankles.

Fortunately, she is not a member of their ecological chain, so they have not evolved to suit her characteristics, so she can get rid of them by walking quickly or stomping her feet hard.

What could have been a pleasant adventure has completely turned into a trapped beast fight with only fear due to the loss of ability, and the desire can only continue to move forward.

She gripped the crowbar tightly and moved forward in the darkness toward the dim light outside the dock.

Until she reached a completely unexpected position, she stepped forward, and the scene in front of her suddenly shattered - she had just passed through a space crack!
In an instant, the chaotic explosion of firearms appeared in her ears, and there was no longer pure darkness in front of her eyes. She wished she could only feel the bullets grazing her hair. Such a strong sense of fear made her unable to raise her head at all, and turned towards the cement beside her. The bunker moved closer.

The bullet hit her head less than twenty centimeters away. Even if she lowered her body again, she could not avoid the bullet penetrating the bunker very close to her.

Wish has never felt that bullets can be so scary in his life.

She was caught in a certain war, or maybe it was just a fight between different forces in this world. In short, she couldn't leave for the time being.

You must survive this battle first!

But this battle has no intention of stopping. Even though there are wailings and hails of bullets from both sides, the situation is getting more and more intense, and there is no sign of any intention to reduce interest rates.

The cement bunker above Xishe's head had been shattered, and cement fragments fell on her head and neck, and even some were inevitably eaten by her.

"Woooo..."

Wish burst into tears in complete bewilderment!
She cried, but she didn't dare to let go of her voice, so she just lay down under the bunker and sobbed.

All the fear lasted until a heavenly voice sounded.

"Hey you!"

It's a girl's voice!
Wishes raised her head and saw a girl in soldier uniform - a girl about the same age as her, standing in another bunker not far away looking at her. The girl's eyes were bright. Although her face was painted with anti-reflective camouflage, You can tell at a glance that her skin is fair - she looks like a normal human being!

The girl growled:

"Stay there and don't move!"

Desire looked at her blankly, her eyes gradually filled with surprise, and her pupils began to dilate - the girl rushed into what seemed to her to be a very dense hail of bullets!

The girl rushed towards her!

The girl picked her up by the waist!

The girl hugged her and ran into another larger bunker!
'oh!My god of war! '

More tears overflowed from Wish's eyes - this time because of the emotion and the instinctive joy of surviving the disaster.

The girl handed her a pistol - it didn't look like the product of an industrial assembly line, but clearly a hand-polished creation.

"Take it! Use it for self-defense!"

The girl glanced at her, held her rifle and whispered: "Wait until I come back!"

The girl rushed into a hail of bullets again.

Wishes huddled behind the bunker, sniffing pitifully, and his head was so messed up that he couldn't think at all.

I don't know how long it took - Wishful felt that time had passed as long as 1 years. Finally, finally, the girl finally came back. She growled to Wishful amid the sound of gunshots and explosions:
"Let's leave! Don't fall!"

She grabbed her hand and led her into the hail of bullets.

The time in Wish's vision slowed down again. She looked at her back and her braids, and there was only one thought in her head -

'So this is the savior. '

The girl ran through the bunker with a wish. It wasn't until she left the area where a large number of cement bunkers were located and saw the wreckage of broken vehicles covered by moss growing in the dark that the wish realized that the area where a large number of bunkers were located just now should be a road. The dilapidated road, the road should be built under the bridge, and the cement bunker is the fragments of the bridge that fell from above.

The girl ran wildly with her wish until her legs felt numb and she almost fell to her knees. The escape was finally over.

Wish finally stayed with the girl behind a wreckage of a vehicle. The gunshots were far away, and the darkness here is not very dense, because there is a dim scattered light from a certain position above the head, providing people here with a poor vision .

"Let's talk about it first."

The girl threw her braid behind her back with a clean and neat movement:

"We are a resistance force. If you are from the company, you can have a showdown with me now. We will not hurt you, but if you have contact with us, you will not be able to return to the company."

Wishes was really stunned for two seconds before he said with hysteria:

"what?"

Resistance?company?

What the hell is this?
The girl frowned:

"Did you lose your brain because you passed through the rift?"

The girl grabbed her hand and walked in a certain direction. As she walked, she whispered:
"The company's experiments have caused the world's structure to become more and more unstable, and the number of cracks has increased in the past two years... People from the company often stray into the periphery of the company by mistake, and most of them don't know anything... We are moving towards the company I’m afraid all the bottles sent over the Internet have been intercepted, and although you employees are among them, you don’t know about the evil deeds committed by the company.”

Wish was listening quietly, and became very curious about the social ecology in the BIOS.

It stands to reason that all deeper worlds use the BIOS program instruction set. No matter what kind of expansion is done to the program instruction level, it itself cannot escape the framework of the BIOS instruction set. Therefore, once civilization appears in any deeper world , its development direction will converge with BIOS - under the influence of the same underlying rules, the process of civilization will become closer and closer to BIOS.

Therefore, civilization in BIOS can basically be regarded as the [final form] of civilization in any deeper world.

'Therefore, a fusion monster [Company] really appeared in the world, and it is really heading towards its end... Doesn't this world look like a scene of purgatory on earth? '

'I should have been born in this generation, so I have not witnessed the demise of previous generations... But why do I feel like I have been born for countless years?Maybe it's because I was born relatively late... Yes, I may have existed very early, but my birth consciousness was in this generation, so I have only witnessed the existence of this generation. Although I have memories of the past, due to There is no consciousness and no subjective feelings, so it does not feel like a generation has passed. '

The wish keeps thinking in the mind.

'This is the periphery of the company. I wonder what it's like inside the company?I'm afraid it's similar to a human city-state. '

After a brief thought, the girl took her into a passage under a hill made of abandoned heavy machinery. The passage was so crude that it seemed to collapse at any time. There were simple lighting equipment on the sides and top, but the power supply here was obviously insufficient, so the lighting equipment It's relatively dim, barely providing some light.

After walking forward for about 10 minutes, something suddenly opened up in front of me - a not spacious hall appeared in front of Desire. It looked like some kind of air defense facility, with a high and thick-looking ceiling, and suspended from the ceiling. There are barbed wire fences to prevent rolling stones from falling, and rows of safes are placed under the surrounding walls. Desire has no idea what is stored in those safes.

Wishes followed the girl into a branching path in the hall, and soon came to a room that looked like a bar.

The bar cabinets in the bar are filled with wines that Xixi has never seen before. Those wines are obviously abnormal, because some of the wine bottles have things like electronic tadpoles swimming around in them... Drink this thing I don’t know what it tastes like.

The bartender inside the bar is a thin bald man with dense tattoos. He has a pair of completely black eyes. He only has the upper half of his body, and the lower half of his body is in a sealed metal barrel. He also cannot see what is in the barrel. , so it is impossible to know the other party’s life operation mechanism.

"It's over so soon?"

The thin bald man glanced at Wish, and then looked at the girl.

"No, there is a problem with our informant. The opponent's firepower is stronger than ours, and we have hired cyber mercenaries. We may lose this time."

The thin, bald man grinned:
"Where did they get the money to hire cyber mercenaries?"

Um?Does this name sound like a special unit with powerful firepower?
The girl responded:
"I heard that their programmers sifted through the mountains of ancient code to find valuable strings and obtained more than 100 points of computing power. Not only did they hire cyber mercenaries, they also bribed Turing in the garbage area to use our The authentication code has been eliminated, and now we will no longer be able to claim to be regular resistance forces."

The thin bald man cursed:
"Those Turings should be damned!"

He complained again:

"Our team leader is also a soft guy. All he wants to do all day long is ask us to knock on wooden fish and ask for computing power from the evil Buddha. How can this speed be as fast as the programmers from other companies who dig mountains of shit all day long?"

The thin bald man cursed:
"If you lose this time, you will lose money on bullets again!"

While he was talking, he looked at Xi'an involuntarily. This kind of look made Xi'an very uncomfortable, but it was not easy to attack.

"You have brought such a sluggish person back. If you open your mouth too much and use your computing power, the leader is afraid that he will talk about you."

Men mean a lot.

The girl sneered:
"A woman is not as useless as a man. Even if she can't do anything, she will at least have a way to make a living - this is a gift from the gods."

The wish was immediately understood.

In panic and anger at being betrayed, she raised her pistol at the girl and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

No gunshots were heard.

There are never bullets in the gun.

The girl turned her head and looked at her with the thin and bald head, her expression changed from pure to a twisted and coquettish one.
