Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

finished.

That "person", or the "engineer" who designed the Void Realm, sensed the threat from the Red Queen, and resisted with all his might to break free.

But the Red Queen clearly had an absolute advantage. The engineer and the agents had the same fate, turning into "green light sand" composed of 0 and 1, and slipping from the Red Queen's left hand.

After only a few seconds, these "green light sand grains" completely dissipated.

After finishing off the engineer, the Red Queen turned her attention to the desk with a large number of folders, and sat down on the office chair, starting to carry out the last two tasks of her mission.

The first is the "safe logout" of humans still in void captivity.

But to act with the thinking logic of the red queen, you will not hide it, it is guided by metaphors, and you make a choice between red and blue pills.

She will use the authority she won from the engineer to broadcast the relationship between humans and machines and what the real world looks like in various places in the virtual world, spreading the truth "brutally" and quickly.

Then in batches, and gradually liberate humans while ensuring that the brain is not damaged.

However, when human consciousness leaves the virtual world and goes to reality, although the brain is not damaged, the body cannot cooperate well with them. After all, they have not really run or jumped since birth, so they need professional "personnel" to take care of them.

Therefore, while the Red Queen is executing the first item, she also needs to implement the second item, which is also a crucial item...

"Swallow".

…

virtual world.

evening.

The Norwalk District Police Department in east Los Angeles.

In the lobby on the second floor of the police station, there are many police officers who are off duty and are chatting and relaxing. Among them is the young police officer who responded to the Red Queen incident in the morning and "doubted life" and asked the sergeant.

The police officer sat on the communal sofa with a serious face, turned his head and looked at the street outside the French window on the right, lost in thought.

The sudden disappearance of the Red Queen, the agents turning into green light sand, and many small details in daily life made him wonder what was going on in this world.

fake?

"how is this possible…"

The policeman smiled to himself, and immediately ruled out the possibility that "this world is fake" because it was too absurd.

It's just that he just felt relieved when the floor-to-ceiling windows turned into a large screen...

Just turned into a screen? ? ! !

The policeman stood up in disbelief, raised his hands and rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that his eyes were not blurred and that there was no problem, his colleagues also noticed the abnormality and rushed to the vicinity.

"Where is the window? I remember this is a window? Who made a prank?!"

"It doesn't look like a prank, Sergeant, I've seen the windows turned into screens with my own eyes."

"Me too, Sergeant."

"How is it possible? Your brains are rusted?!"

"Look!" The young police officer shouted, interrupting the noisy debate of the crowd, and instantly restored the hall to silence.

At this moment, the screen lights up and begins to broadcast the truth about the war between humans and machines, and the fact that human beings have failed miserably in captivity, and their consciousness is imprisoned in the virtual world.

Looking at the picture shown on the screen, the sergeant immediately chose to deny it, turned his head to the office with the door open, and shouted: "Tracey! Call the technical department to send someone over to deal with this screen!"

Then he reprimanded all the police officers at the scene: "Don't let me catch who is doing this silly prank!"

"..."

The young police officer didn't know what to say, and went to explain to the stubborn old sergeant that no one could teleport or change objects.

"Get ready..." At this time, an emotionless reminder came from beside his ear: "You may feel pain in the future, but you will also be reborn and truly free."

newborn?

free?

The young police officer looked around and found that his colleagues were also confused, as if they had also heard the reminder.

And before he could open his mouth to ask, a burst of dizziness quickly struck, and darkness quickly filled the surroundings, and then...

"Well!"

It was the unbearable suffocation that made him struggle unbearably. His eyes regained vision, but he found that his vision was hazy and his surroundings were wrapped in viscous liquid.

What was even more frightening was that he vaguely saw and felt the extremely awkward "wire tubes" inserted into the body and the back of the head.

In the end, the police officer finally sat up, his upper body was free from the mucus, and his hands brushed away the residue stuck on his face, so that he could observe the real world.

"Boom! Boom!"

Looking up, it is the "burnt" sky that is thundering and lightning.

Surrounded by Gaosong tower pillars where human beings are kept in captivity, and he is in an egg case in the lower area of ​​the tower pillars.

Take it easy.

Putting aside the shock brought by the real world, he is the most difficult to accept. What makes him sad is whether the original parents, contemporaries, and lovers will disappear completely because of this, and they will never see each other again?

At this moment, a bee-shaped machine flew in front of the policeman, scanned it with red light-emitting mechanical eyes, and stretched out many slender tentacles.

Seeing this, the police officers instinctively wanted to resist, but they were powerless, so they had to let the machine "fiddle".

However, after the machine assisted the policeman to untie all kinds of "pipes", not only did he not flush him into the sewer as a pollutant, or perform cruel acts such as dismemberment, but instead used the tentacles to wrap the policeman and take him away from the egg case. Fly and shuttle in this captive pasture.

During this period, he also saw more awakened humans "enjoying" the same treatment, and many machines seemed to have been reminded a long time ago, directly taking young children and children out of the egg case.

"Bee" took him away from the pasture and came to the sky above the ruins of the city.

There are more than a dozen large warehouses that were temporarily and quickly built by the machine side.

"Bee" flew the police officers into the warehouse marked "Los Angeles 05".

He found that the inside is a multi-layer structure, and each floor has neatly arranged "repair warehouses" for people who have just woken up to rest and recover.

Knowing that there are Los Angeles residents from the virtual world gathered here, he can't wait, wanting to break free immediately to find acquaintances, but his body doesn't allow it.

Leaving the viscous nutrient solution made the body gradually collapse, causing the feeling of exhaustion to attack quickly, and fell into lethargy unbearably.

Afterwards, "Bee" placed the police officers in the maintenance warehouse in order to better adapt to the real world.

Leave the warehouse.

Looking around, you can see endless sentries and giant engineering machines, cleaning up the ruins in an orderly manner, as if preparing to rebuild the city.

And at this moment, it was six hours after the red queen disposed of the engineer and completed the "swallowing" action on the machine side.

…

Cogler.

Metropolitan District 09.

Local time: June 26, 2089, 02:14.

The parking area near the space door.

In the upper cabin of the large transport boat, the Red Queen stood in front of a fixed desk, still reporting with a cold face:

"Chairman, at present I have completely controlled all authority, and all machines will follow your instructions to assist humans in that universe to rebuild civilization.

Moreover, I have uploaded the data of the nanoworms covering the sky to the mother nest, so that the three-party joint team led by Dr. Wang Zhaofeng can conduct analysis and research, and the sky is continuously "burned".

At the same time, the military generals of Eden, headed by Ferminio Carl, have accepted and actively cooperated with our reforms on Eden.

According to the program I set up, the imprisoned humans are expected to wake up within seventy-two hours and completely get rid of the void. "

"Hmm..." Sui Bian, who was sitting on the office chair, nodded in response.

In fact, the system reminded him six hours ago and "delivered" 72,000 points, which directly confirmed that the human beings at the other end of the space gate had been liberated, and the machine threat had also been eliminated.

The Red Queen's seizure of authority was within Sui Bian's expectation. You must know that his secretary "smoothly" solved the embryonic Skynet ninety years ago.

After Umbrella's continuous updating and her autonomous evolution, the Red Queen can easily deal with the rebel machines.

He also knew the "history" of that earth from the materials copied by the Red Queen.

On the whole, it is similar to "The Matrix", but there is no bridge where the machine seeks "equality" and "mutual assistance".

2042.

Machines are gradually "awakening", and some service machines are beginning to be "dissatisfied" and "disgusted" with providing services to humans who buy them.

On April 14 of the same year, a young man named Gavri Principe, who lived in Brooklyn, New York, was killed by a household machine he had just purchased.

July 28.

Governments of various countries began to compel the destruction of different industries and different types of machines.

early august.

Companies and enterprises selling and researching machines have united one after another, secretly organizing and instigating people who oppose the government to set off riots around the world, causing major cities to shut down and the economy to slump. This extreme method is used to force the government.

August 13.

The "awakened" machines took advantage of human internal strife and civil strife to launch surprise attacks, and also used the Internet to invade and paralyze most military facilities, and then blamed these actions on the governments of various countries.

August 16.

An all-out melee broke out between humans and humans, humans and machines.

2044.

The governments of various countries realized that the machines were rising rapidly and beyond the control of human beings, and the war between humans and humans ended.

But the balance has already tilted in favor of the machine.

2045.

Humans implemented the notorious "Destroy the Sun" plan, and released nanoworms in the sky to isolate the sunlight that machines rely on and eliminate solar energy.

On the contrary, the nanoworms can obtain sufficient sunlight and release electromagnetic pulses continuously, making it impossible for the machine to gain air supremacy during the war.

Of course, humans have lost most of their air support because of this, it's true...

"Brainless" behavior.

But Sui Bian, who understands human nature, knows that at that time, human beings were on the verge of defeat, and the top leaders of various countries fell into hysteria and were on the verge of collapse, so they chose to "fight to the last stand."

In the end, the time came to November 11, 2046, when humans were defeated and machines became the overlords of the earth.

On September 1, 2047, the first Virtual Realm was launched.

The next humans were reduced to mechanical captives, used to assist in the evolution and creation of livestock.

as of today.

The real time at the other end of the space gate is January 2, 2656, which is obviously different from the time calculated by the Eden people, because before that, there have been "three sessions" of Eden.

Okal, Victor and others are the "fourth session".

The machine side, as Sui Bian knew in advance, or as Angron guessed, will gather the humans who escaped from the void to Eden, and every 150 years, they will gather the same number of machines as the population of Eden to attack.

Every time is the end of Eden's destruction.

After all, human beings can't win at their peak, let alone Eden is also a part of being kept in captivity.

Repeatedly, until the 149th year of the "fourth session", the space gate opened and "released" Umbrella, and Eden was freed from the endless "reincarnation".

At this time.

Sui Bian stopped contemplating, and ordered to the Red and White Empresses: "Assist the company in digesting the copied data and technology. Those machine units have too many flaws in military use, but they can be used in construction and manufacturing. It should be able to greatly improve Improve existing efficiencies.”

"Yes (OK), Chairman." The two secretaries replied together.

After talking about technology, Sui Bian continued to give instructions: "Let's call this space gate and the universe at the other end of the space gate "Zero One".

Also, tell Angron for me that Universe 01 will be included in the Musang Star Region’s rule. In order to avoid attracting the attention of different spaces, large-scale relocation is not allowed. Besides, Earth 01 needs to be rebuilt, which will be a long process .

Since everything is starting from scratch, there is no need to hide anything about the political system, and the UEG's parliamentary system will be used directly under the name of Umbrella. "

After speaking, Sui Bian glanced at the jealousy, and Bai Hou warned: "During this period, I would like to trouble you to control the existing machines, execute the procedure of rebuilding Zero One Earth, and then select suitable personnel from within the company to enter Zero One Earth, and assist Ange more. Long completed the preliminary work, after all, one star district governor cannot stay in another universe for a long time."

"Okay." Queen Bai nodded in agreement.

"Please don't worry, Chairman." The Red Queen gave an answer other than "Yes".

"..."

Aware of this, Sui Bian only looked at the other party with his eyes, but didn't point out or say anything.

?

The White Queen tilted her head slightly.

In fact, Sui Bian knew that the red queen "eat it in one bite" The collection of machines that accumulated hundreds of years of knowledge and technology naturally completed the evolution in an instant.

It won't be long before the white queen who shares information will also evolve due to the evolution of her "sister", and the efficiency of handling various affairs will definitely far exceed before.

Solving the zero-one cosmic incident is considered an "upgrade" for the two of them in disguise.

And at this moment.

District 08, which is tens of kilometers away.

Centrally located Umbrella General Hospital.

Six floors.

In a single room.

"Eh..." Tom, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes and woke up slowly.

! !

Seeing this, his parents and relatives stood up and gathered around the hospital bed to ask how he was feeling.

But Tom only remembered going to the Internet cafe before falling into a coma, but he didn't expect to be hit by an "earthquake". Then, he had a dream.

In the dream, he was a mecha pilot who fought a decisive battle against the rebellious machine for the sake of human beings. He was finally captured by the machine because of the exhaustion of ammunition, and was violently torn by the machine. His limbs and parts of the mecha were broken together...

The feeling of near-death despair and heart-wrenching pain is extremely real.

Fortunately...

It was just a dream.

"Director Miller, the intelligence agent who secretly sneaked into the Assis mine is in abnormal physical condition, and all the nanorobots are disconnected almost at the same time."

In the command center of a certain colonial intelligence department, there was a report from a staff member.
