Start with Mechanical Hunter

Among carbon-based civilizations, there is a classic saying - life is a form, not a substance. The more "living" materials we implant, the more examples of "life as it may exist" can be accumulated.

Yagami Motoko looked at a big tree in front of her. She said it was a tree, closer to a living organism. Its leaves were like the human prefrontal lobe, the tendons were like human neural circuits, the white pulp was rippling in the fruits, and the crown was umbrella-shaped. Neural Networks.

At this time, the treetops can be seen with the naked eye growing in all directions, intertwined with the branches and leaves of other trees.

A slight sound sounded from behind. Yagami Motoko jumped up suddenly without looking back. She turned over and kicked. With the sound of explosion, the upper body of a biochemical monster exploded directly.

White pulp is spraying everywhere.

She knew that this kind of monster was called a 'brain plasma experiment', which was a product of life technology, and the purpose of studying it was to test whether ordinary people could break through the upper limit of the 'human brain's computing power' through stimulation.

Obviously, the project failed, and these brain plasma experiments were used as waste and moved here. Among all the biochemical monsters, it is the weakest, but it has a characteristic. It can invade like artificial intelligence. and control the island's weapons systems.

If you don't find its true identity as soon as possible, its threat will become bigger and bigger, and it will eventually surprise you.

In a sense, it is also artificial intelligence, but biological AI.

Obviously, these big trees are its products.

‘Captain Suzi, please leave here as soon as possible. I can detect that your nerve conduction speed, cell division speed, and organic compound decomposition speed have all increased to varying degrees. ’

"What happens if it goes up?"

"It will assimilate," Miss Shell said.

Yagami Motoko nodded, and the next moment, most of the chemical reactions in the body stopped.

"Assimilation is lifted by 75%."

“How wide does the Deep Web open?”

"It is currently open to 21%, and it has been confirmed that it will be completely rolled out in eight minutes."

"Then what's going on?"

"What can be confirmed so far is that there are more than 600,000 chemical reactions taking place here, and they are increasing at a very fast rate."

Yagami Motoko stepped forward and rushed out of this 'forest' in a few breaths. According to the map in her mind, this was the artillery fire zone in the Escape game.

When the deadly poisonous gas in the laboratory is released, the participants will be rushed to this field of gunfire to meet the next test in the game.

However, what shocked the Ghost in the Shell captain was that the mechanical weapons hidden everywhere were being transported towards the center of the island under the action of the 'conveyor belt'.

The reason why these 'conveyor belts' are in quotation marks is because they are not mechanical conveyor belts, but biological conveyor belts.

There are meat rugs all over the place, and the waves of the meat rug are getting higher and higher. The meat sprouts are getting into these weapons, giving people the feeling of an old woman knitting a sweater.

This conveyor belt is 'alive' and they are relaying each other to transport these weapons to the same place.

That was a 'danger zone', and there were some very powerful biological monsters inside. Even she herself had to be careful when entering it.

However, whether it was an illusion or not, she seemed to see a huge arm being reshaped in the 'danger zone'.

Various types of armed electromagnetic guns, plasma warheads, including laser defense systems, are being 'implanted' into this arm.

As the most popular TV show in the world, The Fugitive Game not only makes money, but also has the world's number one ratings. Some military contractors are also willing to use the show to promote their new weapons.

For example, the chain particle cannon of Taibo Defense System, the individual nanosuit of Marubeni Global Security, or the cutting laser net developed by the recently emerged Maas Edge.

These pieces of equipment are constantly 'moving', as if they can't wait to be combined.

After watching for a full minute, Yagami Motoko took a deep breath and said:

"Miss Shell, how far does the deep net open?"

"37%."

…

"Big news! Big news!!!"

In a seventh-level aircraft, Bird Morgans was staring at the island shrouded in white mist with gleaming eyes, wishing he could plunge into the holographic screen and give a live broadcast.

As a famous host, the reason why Bird Morgans is able to stand out in a highly competitive workplace has nothing to do with his being the chairman's son. It is entirely because he is brave and shameless.

What others dare not broadcast, he dares to broadcast.

Where others dare not, he dares to be the first to do so.

For example, he once paid a cyber hacker to hack into the system of the famous idol Aidolu, found out the code of Aidolu's underwear, and confirmed the color of her underwear.

Rainbow colors!

For another example, in order to verify the new model of prosthesis 'Mr. Dashu Assault Type' newly developed by 'Companion Bionics', one of the six major bionic groups, he personally experienced it on the show, although he was later sent to the hospital due to anal fissure and massive bleeding. , but it also successfully proved that this prosthetic body still has a lot of room for improvement, and it is not as perfect as advertised.

The ratings for that episode were off the charts.

Within two days, Bird Morgans walked out of the hospital wearing a free bionic butt provided by 'Companion Bionics'.

Now, when the world's number one popular show suddenly goes on temporary hiatus, Bird Morgans knows that his chance has come! !

"Mr. Bird, I have an obligation to warn you. Since cyber hackers have hacked into this program, they probably won't mind hacking into your head. Even if you install the highest level of electronic defense, facing this level of hackers, Your mortality rate is as high as 86%. According to the contract terms of our Honglian Security Company, due to accidents caused by the employer himself, our company..."

"These are small things!"

Bird excitedly did a few breast expansion exercises, then he smiled and moved next to the cold-faced bodyguard.

"Miss Gelder, are you dressed today?"

"I'm wearing it. It's rainbow-colored. It's the same style as Aidolu. It's exactly the same as the contract requires."

Miss Gelder nodded calmly, then slapped the perverted host to the ground with a backhand slap.

"According to Article 14 of the contract we signed, when the employer asks questions involving privacy, the bodyguard has the right to massage the employer's face."

"Cool!!!"

Bird jumped up with a swollen face and laughed loudly: "Onboard artificial intelligence, open the channel for me, I want to host the show!"

In an instant, more than a dozen drone cameras surrounded him.

At the same time, various indicators were displayed on the holographic screen, including ratings, number of people online at the same time, number of voice barrages, emotional projections, etc.

Soon, barrage text emerged one after another, spinning rapidly around Bird's body.

‘Hahahaha, Bird was beaten by the bodyguard lady again. ’

‘I want to see the big sniper lady, the guy with anal fissure gets fucked! ’

‘Ahhhh, I really want to be Miss Bodyguard’s dog and eat from the same bowl as Bird. ’

‘Bird, what’s the big news today? ’

As a super rich second generation, the reason why Bird's program is popular is because he is enough of a fool. Faced with the cordial greetings of these viewers, he is not angry even if the holographic barrage gets into his pants. He shakes his pants and removes those The barrage of 'Ah, I'm not clean anymore' and 'Ah, I'm dirty' came out, and he got straight to the point:

"I am currently located at the location where the preliminary round of the Escape game is held."

"The current global positioning system can no longer search this island."

"So, here I come!"

And barrage has also increased exponentially.

‘Damn it, turn off the screen quickly, you’re going to be hacked into your head. ’

‘My roommate was just taken away by ambulance, Bird, you want to take me away too? ’

‘Help, I don’t want my memory to be deleted. I don’t have a memory backup yet. Is it too late to do it now? ’

‘It’s too late, unless you give me 1 million machine tokens, and I will do it for you myself. ’

Bird looked calm. Although the content of the barrage was all about "running away", the ratings were rising steadily.

The bodyguard lady glanced at them and sneered, a bunch of people looking for death.

"Without further ado, we can now see that the isolated island is shrouded in a strange white mist. This white mist may be the key to the failure of the global surveillance system!"

"Let's get closer and see what happens!?"

The aircraft gradually sank. A man and a woman looked at each other and felt difficulty breathing. It felt like they were immersed in a closed water tank.

"Ahem, what we can see so far is that this mist seems to be a biological virus. Although my family's ancestral aircraft has a self-circulating air system, it is impossible to confirm whether this virus has invaded. Having said that, Gai Miss De, due to the impact of the virus, do you have a desire to mate now?"

The bodyguard lady opened her eyes suddenly and threw Bird to the ground.

Bird was surprised and happy, "Is it really true? Or in front of so many people!?"

"Idiot! Look at the top of your head!!"

Bird looked up and saw a hollow as big as the mouth of a bowl suddenly appeared, with burnt smoke on the surface caused by high temperature.

Before he could say anything, a cold mechanical voice sounded.

‘The 8-14-135 area is in the ‘data takeover zone’. Please leave all unmarked manual data on your own, otherwise you will be expelled by the Decepticons! ’

‘Fuck! Mother City Legion! ! ! ’

‘Run away, Bird, or your father will replace you with a clone! ’

'Clones are boring. I still like how unruly you look when you have an anal fissure. ’

"Why are you running?!" Bird pushed away the bodyguard and jumped directly into the driver's seat. Then he pulled the joystick and the aircraft rushed directly into the fog.

Bird laughed:

"What could be more exciting than now?! Let's see what's on the island that makes Cybertron even dispatch its mechanical army!"

Seconds later, numerous alarms sounded.

‘A biochemical reaction occurs on the flank surface, a biochemical reaction occurs on the flank surface. ’

‘The main nozzle loss is 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%… a large number of blockages appear. ’

‘Weapon system failed, weapon system failed. ’

However, neither the two of them, nor the audience, had time to pay attention to this.

Because a creature as huge as an island was struggling to get up, and the aircraft's weapon system, a coffin-sized weapons bay, was stuck on its knees, making up the last link.

Coincidentally, when this behemoth was rising from the ground, the aircraft fell from the sky and inserted into its palm, just like a toy airplane.

At the same time, in the city that never sleeps, Aidolu looked at Gao Gong worriedly.

At this time, the senior engineer was like an old human-shaped bacon that had been dried for decades. Apart from the skin, only the bones were left, and all the vital parts had disappeared.

At this time, Bird, who was slowly rising from the "Five Finger Mountain", stared at the super monster that stepped into the sea in stunned silence.

"What the hell!?"
