I'm not sick! So do my other personalities!

The third drop of "digital rain"...

Tao Nange's expression suddenly became serious, and he immediately asked: "Is it the 'digital rain' from predecessor No. 009?"

Zhou Zhen nodded. It was no longer a secret that he absorbed the "digital rain" of his predecessor No. 009.

The Ghost Team, the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps, the Deep Sea Patrol, the "Ash Order"...all are known.

After receiving Zhou Zhen's confirmation, Tao Nange didn't hesitate at all, nodded immediately and said: "Okay, then I will play the role of my predecessor No. 009!"

She is now on the "Sixth Step", but she has never been able to figure out what the "digital domain" of the "Sixth Step" is. She only knows that it may be related to her predecessor No. 009.

If you play the "digital rain" on your predecessor No. 009, this doubt should be solved.

In addition, there was indeed a slight problem with her performance just now.

But in the digital world, what can you do without taking risks?

Improving the "digital energy", improving the "digital ladder", increasing the "digital domain", exploring the "digital forest"... any one of them is more risky than the previous performance!

More importantly, Zhou Zhen had clearly prepared a backup plan just now.

When the "digital rain" broke into the classroom, Zhou Zhen sent her a message in advance and asked her to transform into a student in time to avoid the "digital rain".

As his thoughts flashed, Tao Nange continued: "However, the ghost suit of my predecessor No. 009 is very different from my ghost suit."

"My [weapon structure] can only reorganize the equipment that I know the structure of."

"I need to apply to the above for the production drawings of the ghost armor of the predecessor No. 009."

Zhou Zhen was slightly startled when he heard that he wanted to apply for the drawing of his predecessor's ghost armor No. 009. He planned to go directly to a two-dimensional store to get a similar set of his predecessor's splay props and costumes.

However, it would definitely be better if there are production drawings!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen immediately asked: "The predecessor No. 009's level is much higher than ours. Can this kind of application be approved?"

Tao Nange shook his head slightly and said, "It was already a long time ago when the predecessor No. 009 had problems."

"The ghost armor he was wearing was indeed China's top secret at the time and was not allowed to be leaked."

"But over the years, the Ghost Team's technology has been continuously updated and iterated. The suit worn by the predecessor No. 009 is at least seven or eight generations behind the current Ghost Team's Ghost Armor."

“When internal personnel use technology that is seven or eight generations behind, it usually goes through smoothly.”

While she was talking, she had already sent an application to the superior through the visual sensor.

After the application was sent, Tao Nange continued: "The application has been sent, it may take some time."

"We can go to our next destination."

Zhou Zhen came back to his senses, nodded, and immediately said: "Go to the Divan Pharmaceutical headquarters building in Qingli District."

The headquarters building of Divan Pharmaceutical is located in Qingli District, Binhai City. This is a time-honored pharmaceutical company that holds several international patents for special drugs. It has made considerable profits in recent years and is a major taxpayer in Binhai City.

However, it has also become a "digital forest" now.

The boss inside, Yao Jiangyou, is also one of Huang Xurong's buyers.

The source of infection for this “digital forest” is also the mathematics textbooks sold by Huang Xurong.

So, the two of them immediately set off, leaving Bicheng Rose Garden and heading towards Qingli District.

※※※

Qingli District, Difan Pharmaceutical Headquarters Building.

This is an inverted trapezoidal skyscraper, surrounded by no other buildings of similar height. The dark blue curtain wall reflects the sparkling skylight, and the four characters "Difan Pharmaceutical" are flying and phoenixes, standing quietly on the top of the building.

At this moment, this famous building was intact and seemed incompatible with the chaos surrounding it.

The figures of Zhou Zhen and Tao Nange quietly appeared at the door of the building.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, you can clearly see that in the splendid hall inside, two beautiful receptionists are registering visitors with smiles, and several bodyguards with anti-riot robots are on guard in the corner.

The indoor fountain facing the door is blooming, and everything looks prosperous and peaceful.

Looking at the bright "Digital Forest" in front of him, Zhou Zhen took Tao Nange and walked in directly as before.

After a while, the two came out of the "Digital Forest". As the two left, the energy of the "Digital Forest" dropped significantly.

Around Zhou Zhen's body, densely packed black and red cubes appeared again.

The next moment, the bright brilliance of [Fusion Cube] swallowed up all the colors and outlines.

Amidst the deafening noise, the skyscraper collapsed, sending flying dust flying into the sky.

Through the visual sensor, it was confirmed that the "Digital Forest" had been cleared, and Zhou Zhen nodded slightly.

Since Tao Nange's application has not yet been approved, this time he entered the "Digital Forest". Instead of letting Tao Nange play the role, he became the "teacher" again.

This performance made his mastery of the "digital forest" significantly better.

However, there is still a certain distance before the school's "digital forest" can be fully presented.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen continued: "Go to the next place."

※※※

Binhai City, High-tech Zone.

Viewed from a high altitude, the originally neatly planned and vibrant land is filled with orange-red city-specific anti-riot robots roaming everywhere. Drones patrol the streets like a dense swarm of insects, sounding alarms from time to time.

The calling waves of various channels are intertwined like a network over the city.

In front of the temporary checkpoint on the main road, a group of motorcades were waiting for security inspection.

Densely packed instruments flashed waterfall-like data on the screen. After a long time, the green results popped up. The teams on guard on both sides of the convoy finally breathed a sigh of relief. After making gestures, the gates slowly opened, and another batch of survivors were in the ghost team. Under the escort, slowly drove out of the city...

※※※

Huh...huh...huh...

A sweaty middle-aged man stepped heavily on the ground and ran with all his strength. At this moment, he no longer looked like a business elite. His high-end suit was wrinkled and stuck to his body. His tie had gone somewhere and his glasses were also gone. It fell off while running, and the surface of the big-name watch on his wrist was shattered into a spider web, making it impossible to tell the time.

He felt like his lungs were on fire, and he kept walking almost on instinct.

But even so, he still held on to the two mathematics books and was reluctant to let go of them no matter what.

"stop!"

"Put down the math book!"

"This is a warning! If you don't stop, we will shoot!"

Behind him, low and serious shouts kept coming. The middle-aged man did not dare to listen or think too much, and continued to run forward.

A group of members of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps formed a tracking formation and followed closely.

They are all "Digital Compatibles". The middle-aged man is obviously just an ordinary person, no, just a carrier. Under normal circumstances, there will be no accidents in this pursuit. Any "Digital Compatible" can easily Let go until you catch him.

But along the way, there will always be various accidents, either blocking the way of the members of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps, or equipment malfunctions forcing them to stop, or calls for help coming from the channel forcing them to split up to check, or inexplicable things happening. Lost or left behind...

After a chase and interception, the number of pursuers became smaller and smaller. Soon, only three or five members were left behind the middle-aged man.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The middle-aged man's physical strength was nearly exhausted at this moment. He seemed to hear the violent beating of his heart ringing in his ears. Stars were flying in front of his eyes. Every step he took was extremely difficult.

Just when the three or five members of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps were about to pounce, there was suddenly a violent collapse sound above the alley, and a hundred-story building fell down without warning.

Rumble...

Flying sand and rocks swallowed up the entire alley in an instant.

A moment later, a member of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps did not bother to dust himself off, and dragged out the middle-aged man who was still struggling from the rubble. After confirming the target, without any hesitation, he directly injected a [Digital Tranquilizer] into his hands and feet. He neatly put on special gloves, then turned to ask the ruins that were still collapsing: "How are you doing?"

The grinning responses from the companions sounded from several directions: "It's not bad."

"Can't die."

"Stop being so nagging, quickly open the isolation cabin and put the people in!"

As the middle-aged man was put into the isolation cabin, a line of words popped up on the main control screen of the Star Law Enforcement Corps' mothership: "All known 'carriers' in Wushan District have been arrested!"

※※※

Binhai City, Beihong District.

In the middle of a commercial street full of traces of riots, there is a five-story ancient-style building, but it still maintains the prosperity and cleanliness of the peaceful era.

A plaque hanging high on the main entrance of the ancient-style building shows that this is a large bookstore and tea room.

Even though the whole city is in disaster, the slow and melodious sound of the guqin is still heard in the bookstore, accompanied by the scent of tea, as if it is otherworldly.

Around the building, all the obstructive greenery, other shops, fountains, pools... were all demolished. Countless anti-riot robots surrounded the place three times inside and outside, sealing the place with water.

Behind the robot is a dazzling array of automatic guns.

On the tall building in the distance, snipers were ready.

In the mid-air was a dark group of unmanned bombers.

At the temporary headquarters, which was unexpectedly two kilometers away, the uniformed crowd held their breath and stared closely at the surveillance screen.

After a while, a high-ranking compatibility member of the Deep Sea Patrol suddenly walked out of the ancient building.

The other party just came out, his sharp eyes instantly looked at the nearest camera, and his lips moved: "Mission accomplished!"

The next moment, all the surrounding firepower received the order instantly and opened fire in unison.

Boom boom boom...

Countless guns poured down like a torrential rain, carrying various offensive, restrictive, and detectable "digital domains" and covering the ancient buildings like a dragnet.

In the blink of an eye, this "digital forest" was razed to the ground.

In the center of the original ancient-style building, only a strange-looking instrument remained.

This is a special device that simulates the frequency of "digital rain". It can interfere with the source of infection in the "digital forest". It is a weapon specially invented to deal with the "digital forest".

Of course, simulating "digital rain" is not real "digital rain" after all. This set of equipment can delay the recovery time of the "digital forest", but it cannot completely clear the "digital forest" in the true sense.

After dealing with this "digital forest", the members of the Deep Sea Patrol immediately packed up their equipment and evacuated, seizing the time to head to their next destination.

※※※

Time passed slowly, and the skylight changed from dazzling to soft. The noise and chaos in Binhai City seemed to be gradually calming down after a hysterical storm.

The number of survivor convoys heading outside the city is steadily increasing.

The cry slowly disappeared in the wind, and the baby's babble and the child's innocent inquiry... were like the green bud struggling to emerge from the scorched earth, slowly but firmly sticking its head out.

The disaster in the entire city began to show signs of being suppressed, and the civilized order was staggeringly rebuilt.

※※※

China, the capital.

In the underground conference room, the lighting was turned off, and the only light source came from above the long round table.

The three-dimensional map of Binhai City floats quietly.

At this moment, a large number of red dangerous areas on the map began to shrink step by step.

The map's light was not very bright, and the figures around the table were all hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.

From time to time, someone raises his hand to operate, or focuses on checking the specific situation of a certain area, or flips through the rescue records, or makes some records...

Following their actions, a low voice sounded in the conference room: "This disaster in Binhai City is much more serious than that in Tongfu City!"

"However, when the accident occurred in Tongfu City, the rescue operation of the same scale lasted for more than ten days, and finally ended in failure. But this time, it only took a few days to control the situation."

"The situation is different. In Tongfu City, we didn't have as many high-ranking compatibility people as we do now..."

"Not bad! Moreover, at that time, our technology in 'digital virus' was just in its infancy..."

Hearing this, everyone else nodded slightly, and an old man's voice continued: "It was also a bit lucky. Xiao Duan recruited the experimental subject of the 'Ash Order' this time, and the experimental subject solved the predecessor 009 by himself. No., and [Leader].”

"Otherwise, if we want to control this disaster, we may need to transfer No. 001."

Hearing this, the figure sitting diagonally opposite the old man shook his head slightly and said: "The predecessor No. 009 is indeed troublesome, but [Leader]..."

"Back then, Tongfu City also produced [leaders]."

"Those warriors who sacrificed their lives at that time have already recorded a large amount of [Leader's] data."

"Through those data, Xiao Duan, No. 007, and Xiao Guo are three "Eighth Step" compatibility. As long as we make sufficient targeted preparations, there will be no big problem in dealing with the [Leader]."

After hearing these words, most people nodded in approval.

In fact, the energy intensity of the [Leader] is much higher than that of the compatibility of the "Ninth Ladder", but the infected person has no wisdom, only instinct, and the real combat power is not as good as the compatibility of the "Ninth Ladder" By.

Of course, [Leaders] are only average among [Complete Body] infected people. Some very exaggerated [Complete Body] infected people can easily crush all human beings even without intelligence...

At this time, a loud voice sounded: "These are not too important things, let's put them aside for now."

"We can start the official content of this meeting!"

"Have you all read the information uploaded by Comrade Duan Lihe?"

"The civilization of planet 142857 in the K Southern Cross cluster treats the entire galaxy as a laboratory!"

"Before the accident of the predecessor No. 009, he was one of the strongest compatibility on the entire earth!"

"But the 'digital rain' on him killed him easily."

"Even if we find something is wrong and mobilize the whole country to find ways, it will not help."

"And the 'digital rain' on the predecessor No. 009 was just a member of that civilization!"

Hearing this, the entire conference room fell silent.

But soon, a middle-aged man’s voice sounded: “That civilization is indeed terrifying!”

"However, that piece of information is not complete, and there are still many parts that have not been deciphered."

"In addition, according to the description in that message, 'Digital Rain' is also the most advanced technology of that civilization!"

"That civilization was not the inventor of the 'digital virus', nor did it perfectly master the 'digital virus'."

"The technological gap between us now and that civilization is indeed huge, but it may not be completely hopeless!"
