Psychics don't die from gunfire

A strong feeling of weightlessness came.

Amidst the flickering of the spectrum that is enough to cause photosensitive epilepsy, the surrounding scene changes crazily, as if falling from a high altitude and rushing to the bottom of the sea in an instant. The part of Thousand Stars City floating on the sea quickly collapsed and disappeared.

It seemed like a long time passed, but it seemed like only a moment.

When the bizarre scenes finally stopped changing, everything was completely different.

Looking up, on the pale land, one piece after another stands indifferently, like a huge giant with an unimaginable size clenching its fist and hammering a modern city to pieces.

But anyone who lives here will never regard it as "urban ruins".

Because of the color.

It is not the gray color of dilapidation, nor the color of steel and concrete. These broken walls all have a weird color that is extremely uncomfortable and almost challenges the limits of the human eye.

Just like the "uncanny valley effect", as robots look and act more and more like humans, humans will develop positive emotions towards them. However, when these similarities reach a certain level, the emotion will drop sharply in an instant, causing great disgust and horror.

The color of these ruins is very similar to reality and is in line with the public aesthetics of mankind. However, for some unknown reasons or differences, it still gives people a strong sense of discomfort - it is simply another "uncanny valley effect."

If you stay in such a place for too long, even normal people are likely to develop mental problems, just like the "cabin fever" caused by staying in a small, dark environment for a long time.

"——Confirmed that it has dived to depth 3, but the specific landing point is unknown."

After briefly saying something in the communication channel, this company member belonging to [Zero Degree Network] and the captain of this deep dive team raised his head and looked at the two figures in front of him.

Although they can make a short-term breakthrough through the "sharp needle" technology to directly cut through a small area and sink it to a deeper depth, due to the firewall protection of Thousand Stars City, they can only ensure the "specific depth" of the landing point, but not the "specific depth" of the landing point. The "specific location" of the landing point.

——But at this moment, without the suppression of Thousand Stars City, they no longer need to disguise themselves and can show their full face!

The exoskeleton power armor worn by the three of them is a "Bronze Rider" specially used in frontal battles. The exoskeleton of the last person is a "Pillain Bird" specialized in information operations.

Equipped with "NY421 type" assault rifle, alloy dagger, prosthetic eyes and enhanced heart and lungs, various tactical equipment including electromagnetic grenades, temporary supercomputer enhancement components, and network module units.

This is a standard elite deep dive team.

In theory, they can already defeat the network protection project of a medium-sized enterprise. This is the confidence brought to them by the cutting-edge technology of [Zero Degree Network], the leader in the information field of the enterprise alliance.

If it weren't for the direct request of the woman who was sent from the headquarters and ranked in the high-net-worth talent training sequence due to the increasing arrogance of the Enlightenment, they even felt that only two people would be enough to complete this mission - "Capture the suspected omnic The remnant guy."

"Depth 3"

Song Shi suddenly felt like laughing.

So he laughed.

"Let me tell you, everyone, I don't understand anything. I got involved out of nowhere."

He looked at the people on both sides. On one side was the deep diving team of Zero Degree Network, and on the other side was the man in beach shorts. At this moment, the latter's clothes were slowly dissolving.

"As you can see, I'm just a nobody. I don't want to cause trouble, and I don't want to hear any information at all." Song Shi was still laughing: "If I say I'm leaving now and keep my mouth shut, can you let me go? ?”

"They won't care."

The man in beach shorts suddenly spoke, his voice subtly low: "Can't you see? They will never let a person go! Use whatever means you can, let's go together, maybe there is still a way to survive!"

The deep-diving team in front turned a blind eye to the words of the two men. One of them threw out a few compression capsules. The compressed files inside were decompressed at a frame rate and quickly spread out, turning into a building 20 meters long and 20 meters wide. , a cubic barrier in a closed space.

——The temporary LAN prison is formed and the blockade is established.

This is also the power of virtual deep diving technology in this era.

Just like a normal person learning a foreign language, he needs to mark each word of the foreign language with annotations in his own mother tongue, and compare the two one by one to learn and memorize.

Even if he later reaches the level of proficiency in using it, he still needs to go through the understanding process of "foreign language", "translation" and "native language" when hearing the foreign language spoken - compared with native speakers, this requires an additional transformation.

The current virtual deep dive technology will transform abstract things such as data and code into concrete scenes, which is equivalent to skipping the process of "foreign language" and "translation", avoiding inefficient transformation, and directly entering the "native language" stage. !

Granted, it's still going to be an extremely uncomfortable sight like this area, but the technology is still great.

Whether it's the equipment on this deep-diving team or the current cube barrier, they are all manifestations of this concreteness.

——Qi Cha.

The leader of the deep dive team loaded the rifle and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

They have sealed off this area, crushing other people's avatars here, and the other person's consciousness will also sink, and the body in reality will turn into a vegetative state that has lost cognitive abilities.

[Zero Degree Network] Corporate Code: "Information" is property, "intelligence" is the foundation.

——Don't let any insider leave!

Then, in the surprised expression that has not yet fully emerged, the reflection of the artificial eye, a surging and terrifying flame wave spread out in an instant!

"Information correction! Information correction! Second-ring psychic! Suspected to be on the path of the Great Source!"

The captain's right arm clicked, and a heavy protective shield unfolded. He suddenly nailed it in front, completely covering the whole person, and shouted loudly: "Operation plan correction! The first combat target is transferred, and the tactical target: annihilation!"

When they saw that this affected passerby fell into depth 3 forcibly, but did not show much discomfort at the first time, they made the judgment of "psychic", but they did not expect it to be the second ring.

——And, this intensity of psychic flame, the peak of the second ring? !

Looking at the analysis provided by the database and tactical terminal, the captain put up a protective shield, and at the same time, the vector nozzle on his back sprayed out. Obviously, he had made a judgment and accelerated his charge.

But the next moment, his face suddenly changed.

With the continuous impact of the flames, this protective shield that could theoretically withstand the attack of large-caliber machine guns for a period of time was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye - no, not only melting, but while melting, part of it was quickly turning into ashes.

"No! The winning rate displayed by the terminal is too low! Retreat!"

"Notify the top, quickly activate the 'anchor' to pull us up!"

"Retreat-"

"- Kill if you want to kill, leave if you want to leave?"

Avoiding a rain of bullets, Song Shi sneered.

He did not pull out the heavy murder, but summoned a "spark" and then extinguished it.

The next moment, in the barrier space that was almost "rendered" and could be ignited by even a spark, it instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire that was almost pulpy in the burst of "spark".

If they were in an open area, even though they still had no chance of winning, they could at least fight for a while with the high mobility of the powered exoskeleton and a set of equipment. But the barrier set up in advance blocked the enemy and also blocked their combat space.

When Song Shi directly used a "fire" and "rendering", this space was like purgatory at this moment. The constantly compressed and surging flames completely engulfed the four people, and the black ashes rose in wisps.

Half a minute later, with the will of the ruler, the sea of ​​fire that flooded the space slowly separated, leaving only the captain who was still holding on, and three piles of black ashes mixed with a few lumps.

When he saw these three piles of ashes, Song Shi seemed to notice something and glanced at the man in beach pants - the latter was also surrounded by flames. Although he was not burned, he was also completely imprisoned in place.

But soon, he retracted his gaze and came to the captain who was extremely embarrassed, covered with scars, and half-kneeling.

Song Shi looked down at him.

"I ask, you answer."
