Wow! The explosion rate is really high

There is no answer to this question after all, because Bai E doesn't know when he will come back when nothing is wrong.

Under the early morning sunshine, the motorcade was ready and ready to set off.

Pan Sen's situation was urgent. A third-level psyker was an important strategic talent even in the eyes of the entire city. After communicating with the city, the city's top officials decided to have the convoy return home immediately.

But what happened the night before last took place in the middle of the night. As long as Pan Sen's physical condition was stabilized, it was already the afternoon of the next day. If he set out again, he would have to spend the night in the wild. It would be far better to set off early the next morning and spend a whole day. Rushing straight back to the safety of the city throughout the day.

So now, it is already the morning of the third day.

The convoy that arrived brought a lot of medical personnel, technicians, and defense personnel with it. On the way back, the car was much empty, and two vehicles were even left behind for the personnel staying at the base to use at any time.

Aryan leaned against the door, facing the sun and stepping on the edge of the car door to get into the car. He stretched out his hand and waved carefully from a distance, saying goodbye in a low voice that could only be heard near him.

"Goodbye~"

"If you say goodbye, say it in person, if you like it, confess it..." A figure in a white coat walked parallel to Aryan from behind.

Minister Eric crossed his arms and looked at the motorcade that was making final preparations. He said to the girl next to him: "Why are you young people so indifferent in doing things? In this era, there is no tomorrow. You have to wait until now." Do you know regret until regret becomes an eternal regret?"

"……None of your business!"

Looking at Aryan who shook his head and walked away, Minister Eric winked blankly.

I haven't seen you for a long time, and my little assistant has a temper?

With a sneer, Minister Eric shook his head and stood there, watching everyone get into the car.

He is not planning to go back. The last time was because he was needed to set the tone for many things at the beginning of restarting the Internet. Now that most of the development has been on track, it is even more important for him to stay in the biggest legacy of the old era and learn more about the techniques of the sages. Something that is good for yourself and the city.

"Buzz~"

The engine started and the car body shuddered slightly.

Bai E glanced at the hospital bed fixed behind him through the rearview mirror in the car, as well as the unconscious Pan Sen who was fixed on the hospital bed. He took a gentle breath and stepped on the accelerator.

Set off!

Back to the city!

The road in the wild is never smooth, and without Panson's psychic deflection barrier when they go back, they need to be more careful.

Standing at the door and watching the strange birds flying away in the lush jungle, Minister Eric sighed and walked back slowly.

Master Pan Sen fell into a coma, and things in the virtual world naturally came to nothing again.

Until the city sends out the next high-level psyker who is proficient in this art, that little thing that no one can do anything about will probably have to steal the computing resources of the host group.

Although the loss of a small amount of computing power is completely insignificant to today's humans, I am afraid that after absorbing enough computing power resources, this creation from the electronic devil will undergo unknown changes.

More importantly, since Lord Panson's accident, so far Unknown has not received any notification that the host group has been invaded.

The unknown is the most disturbing thing.

As he said, the world is precarious and ever-changing.

If you want to do something, just do it boldly...

"Beep beep~" Aryan's call suddenly came from the headset in the ear, "Minister, the headquarters is calling you."

"Oh!" Eric was shocked and strode towards the center console.

"Ta-ta-ta~" The heels of the leather shoes tapped on the smooth marble floor. Before Eric even got close, the sound had already sounded far away, "What did they say?"

Aryan put his hands on the communication desk, put on his earphones and listened to the voice coming from the microphone, and kept saying "hmm" in a low voice.

"Hmm~"

"Hmm~"

"No."

"It hasn't been found yet."

Eric approached and patted Aryan on the shoulder, so Aryan took away the earphones knowingly and stepped aside. Minister Eric took the earphones and said, "I am Eric, please say."

"Minister Eric, yesterday's communication was brief. We still don't understand a lot of things. Today I want to ask you for clarification."

"Well, you say."

"What happened the day before yesterday?"

"The evening before yesterday, 7:31."

"After the incident, until now, are there any traces of the target's appearance?"

"Currently..." Minister Eric hesitated, looking at his assistant who was operating the center console with questioning eyes, and continued to reply into the headset: "Probably not..."

Knowing that his answer would not satisfy the other party, Minister Eric did not dare to say it directly, so he followed up by explaining, "We were concerned about Master Panson's body for a long time, and there was no one to guard him here. "

Something happened to Pan Sen, and yesterday the whole base became a mess.

And there is no need for someone to keep an eye on the center console.

For major changes, the entire base will sound an alarm. For small alarms, such as a small amount of computing power resources in some host groups being stolen, only small accidents will require guarding next to the central console.

Not to mention that Master Pan Sen has fallen. Even if they find the thief and steal computing resources, what can they do?

"Make sure." The person at the base said with a commanding tone, "According to the data and pattern analysis you gave before, the virtual world that was interrupted by Pan Sen to steal computing resources lacks enough energy support. Its operation, it is impossible for it to have not appeared all day yesterday. If it has not appeared, we have to consider whether this little thing was 'scared' by Panson's behavior and completely escaped."

This means that it may be difficult for them to obtain information about the virtual world.

"yes."

The center console has a history record of all information, and you can check it at any time even if you are asked.

Eric does not have the authority to query the log records, and can only check it by his assistant Aryan who is standing a little further away and is operating the center console.

"Okay." Aryan nodded and easily opened the system log panel.

[...At 19:31:02 in the evening, the operating efficiency of the host group in the F1 area decreased by 11%, which lasted for 17 minutes and 23 seconds. 】

[...At 20:17:18 in the evening, the operating efficiency of the host group in C4 area decreased by 4%, which lasted for 15 minutes and 18 seconds. 】

Two...twice.

Aryan was slightly startled when he saw the last two lines in the log record.

As if intuitively, an image of him sitting alone next to the console that evening flashed through his mind.

‘Come out for a walk... I can’t help you with the adults’ matters, why don’t you come over and see if there’s anything you need help with in the computer room. ’

"..."

That smiling face was still so warm, but the place where it appeared was too coincidental.

Aryan has a good memory.

So why does Bai E appear in area C4 by coincidence?

So the time...why do they match exactly?

Are you hiding it on purpose?

What are you hiding?

Aryan's mind instantly flashed through the trajectory of Bai E's movements over the past few days since he arrived at the base... He was particularly clear because of his special attention.

As long as Pan Sen is around, Bai E will definitely not be absent.

Even if you insist on staying awake for several days, you must be "protecting" on the side.

This is the base!

The solid walls of the Golden Age protected the important interior, and all the soldiers brought in tightly controlled all the passages in and out. Even a fly flying in had to say hello to the surveillance. What did he need to protect?

Do you need him to guard you day and night?

In addition, during the occasional chat, she heard Minister Eric say... Bai E was not allowed to leave the camp without authorization because he had made great contributions on the battlefield in exchange for coming here. base of opportunity.

Once upon a time, she had a ten thousandth sweet imagination in her heart - maybe Bai E came for her.

But now it seems that Bai E... also came for the virtual world!

There are thousands of twists and turns, but as long as one thought is clear, it will become clear instantly.

She just has a gentle personality, but she's not stupid.

At a young age, he can become the personal assistant to the boss of the Information Department of the City Research Institute. Aryan's IQ is ranked among the best in the entire city.

After confirming that Bai E also had a relationship with the virtual world, the "it happened once" that was on his lips was swallowed hard.

Didn't show up! Didn't show up today.

If the virtual world has not appeared once since Lord Pantheon, then the possibility of being "scared away" by Pantheon's behavior can be established.

But if it appeared again after Pan Sen, why didn't it appear again today?

Pan Sen came here just to capture that virtual world that is elusive to ordinary people.

After Bai E came into contact with it, the virtual world never appeared again. Does this mean...

Bai E has taken it away?

This is something that the adults in the city want by name.

"..." Beiqi bit his lower lip, and Aryan, who had never lied before, felt the torment in his heart for the first time.

"What's wrong?" Minister Eric asked doubtfully, looking at the side face of Aryan who was in a daze and still wearing headphones, waiting for the answer.

Wei Ti's voice made Aryan tremble all over. For some reason, his palms trembled slightly and he subconsciously deleted the last log record that appeared with his authority. Then he lowered his head and shook his head gently, "No... no Appeared."

"Oh~" Minister Eric replied into the earphone without doubting that he was there, "He never appeared."

"Got it." The voice over there replied instantly, giving instructions at the same time, "Continue to monitor it. If it happens again, be sure to notify me as soon as possible."

"clear."

"Du~du~du~" After hanging up the communication, Minister Eric came to Aryan's side, "What's wrong? Why were you distracted just now?"

"I'm...thinking about other things."

"He's gone, and his soul has been taken away by you..." Eric shook his head helplessly, "He must not have gone far yet. How about I call him now to call him back and take you with me?" ?”

"No need!" Aryan flicked his ponytail, turned around and ran away.

Aryan came to the corner where Eric couldn't see and pressed his body tightly against the wall, breathing heavily.

Her heartbeat had never dared to beat wildly until now.

The first time he lied was to the higher-ups in the city.

Secretly taking away the "virtual world" that the adults in the city want, Bai E... what exactly do you want to do?

What's more important is... Bai E can actually take away things that even Master Pan Sen can't take away?

…

["Lucky Blow" charge +5. 】

"ah?"

Bai E, who was driving, had his palms trembling slightly, a little surprised.

What did you do? Suddenly +5?

I can't figure it out, I just don't think about it.

Pressing the accelerator to the bottom, Bai E was anxious to return to the city.

Not only to obey the orders of superiors, but also to consider one's own development.

Since yesterday, Bai E has felt a vague suction force acting on his body.

After several rounds of suspicion, Bai E finally located the source——

Storage space, or virtual world.

The virtual world, which is like a transparent air bag, is like a cave with gradually increasing suction. From the initial indifference to the strength enough to lock the source, Bai E also roughly guessed what this thing was "asking for".

food.

When you have no owner, you go to the computer room to steal food. If you have an owner, can you stop eating?

Stay at the base and take care of food all day long?

Then do you want to develop yourself? The base is isolated from the outside world. Just for the sake of a virtual world, just trap yourself there?

impossible.

When you gain more, you always bear more.

You can only figure it out yourself.

Computing power resources... this stuff is not that rare.

Although you can be worry-free in the computer room of the base, it is not impossible to obtain it outside, it is just a little troublesome...

Didn't you gain a lot when you attacked the omnic fortress last time?

Even though they were all handed in...

But as long as there is an explosion somewhere, there is a way.

No one is willing to touch omnics, because they are less fleshy and more troublesome.

After defeating them, the most precious things dropped are their intelligent cores and computing resources. However, humans cannot directly use these things, even the vehicles and equipment produced by intelligent machines, because there is no predictability. The reason for leaving the driver's seat is something that no human being can use directly.

Killing them yields nothing but a pile of possibly smelted steel.

And if it's not enough to eliminate the root cause, then the crazy revenge from them will also give everyone a headache.

But what if the resources they produce are needed?

There are a lot of small fortresses on the map for you to pick.

Regardless of whether the mission in Gray Iron City can be accomplished or not, it's probably time for the players to come back.

It just so happened that the new missions were seamlessly connected. If I was free, I might as well take them to fight... a copy of the original animation?

With plans for the future planned in his mind, Bai E returned home as quickly as possible.

…

"簌~"

"簌~"

The transparent air bag moves as if it is alive, sucking out the cold air in the storage space.

In the void that Bai E cannot observe, the unknowable perspective falls rapidly... falls...

Falling all the way down to the blank space, the world suddenly becomes clear...
