Chapter 67 The Final Showdown (6)
Time seemed to stand still.
The lobby of the command center was almost full of dead bodies.
Xi Xiaofan fell into a pool of blood.
He was dead, Zeus' blow pierced his heart, and Xi Xiaofan, who had hardly undergone any strengthening, was fatally struck by the blow.
Before he died, his eyes were still looking at the ceiling above his head, and he just muttered two words blankly: "Father...Mom..."
Shen Yi gently closed Xi Xiaofan's eyes and sighed.
After all, he failed to protect Xi Xiaofan.
The shortcut to success is indeed full of dangers and rugged - it is doomed to pay the price of life.
A light cough awakened Shen Yi from his melancholy and returned to the real world.
"Hey, Shen Yi."
Shen Yi turned around slowly.
He looked at Zeus lying on the ground: "Are you Marcus now?"
"No." The other party shook his head: "I'm still Zeus, to be precise... Zeus who has the thinking and feelings of Marcus."
"Is it?"
Zeus laughed twice.
Its armor value was reduced to zero by Shen Yi, only a little human life was left to support itself, and it lost control of the Skynet base, and could no longer use any ability to fight against Shen Yi.
At this moment, it calmed down instead, just like the performance of people fighting to the end before dying, extremely calm and composed.
That is a manifestation of helplessness and acceptance of the cold reality.
It said: "I think I'm beginning to understand what it means to be human. As we know, human beings are incalculable creatures. You may be weak on the surface, but sometimes you can burst out with great strength. But the important thing is , I finally understand what mistake I made."
"Oh? Tell me?"
"I fell for your tricks, Shen Yi. I shouldn't just want to kill that boy. He actually poses no threat to me at all. One minute and fourteen seconds, if I concentrate on dealing with you during this time, I can easily Kill you. Even if that boy takes control of the base, I can easily eliminate him with my current strength, and then regain control..."
"You finally understand..." Shen Yi showed sympathy in his eyes.
Xi Xiaofan was actually just a target to divert Zeus' attention. He distracted Zeus's attacks and distracted him. Without Shen Yi, even if the ten Skynets were handed over to Xi Xiaofan to control, it would be impossible for him to use them to pose any threat to Zeus. As long as Zeus kills Shen Yi earlier, he can deal with Xi Xiaofan calmly and regain control of Skynet.
It is a common mistake that human beings make to only look at the immediate moment and ignore the basics for the end. It stands to reason that Zeus, who is proficient in calculation and analysis, would never make such a mistake.
But he just committed a crime.
The reason is simple, it is influenced by the human mind.
Possessing human emotions can certainly allow Zeus to experience more emotional processes and enhance wisdom, but it also restricts its computing power. It may never be understood why human intelligence is so closely connected with their hearts. So much so that since possessing human emotions, Zeus has actually lost one of the most important abilities of the brain—calmness.
From this point of view, Zeus is actually more human-like than Shen Yi. At least the former still has emotions to dominate his thinking, but the latter is completely unaffected by emotions. Even in the most difficult moments, Zeus must make the most calm analysis to defeat Shen Yi. formidable enemy.
"Actually..." Shen Yi thought for a while, and finally said: "A machine is a machine, and there is absolutely no need to follow the human development path. Whether it is a machine or a life, each has its own development process. Your real mistake is not that Make bad judgments when fighting, but from the beginning, you are going astray in the direction of evolution. I have discussed with friends before, if machines have minds, then what kind of intelligence they will develop. What I got The conclusion is: Different soils breed completely different ways of life, so they have different ways of thinking. Unfortunately,
You don't seem to intend to go down this road, but want to learn from humans. This may be an offshoot of the evolutionary path, but I personally don't think that's for you. This is the most important reason why you will fail. You try to have something that is not yours, so you fail. "
"You're right, machines...should have their own way of survival. When I tried to take a shortcut, I was already on the process of self-destruction. You just speeded up the process...but you You know? I don't regret it at all."
"Oh?"
A smile appeared on Zeus's face.
He whispered: "It's really good to be able to become a human being and feel such wonderful emotions. Although anger, fear, and despair make me uncomfortable, I still prefer to have such emotions. Shen Yi, are you Human, but I found that your thinking is closer to that of a machine. I advise you not to give up some of the qualities that humans possess. Excessive rational thinking will make you lose your feelings and make you no longer a human.”
Shen Yi was stunned, and Zeus continued: "Machines cannot extravagantly demand human emotions, and human beings should not overly extravagantly demand the high-speed calculations of machines. Otherwise, you will walk on the completely opposite path like me."
Shen Yi thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Thank you, I understand."
"It's a pity, after all, I can't understand what is happiness and joy, what is sadness and sorrow. What I can feel now is Marcus's last mood—redemption."
It looked at Shen Yi: "Kill me, after finishing this last thing, you will win me. The program is in the core component of my brain, I guess you must want this very much. Then maybe I can use another A way to survive and learn the answers about you..."
Saying that, it closed its eyes.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi aimed the gun at Zeus' chest.
gunshots.
Zeus's body bounced on the ground a few times, and finally did not move.
For some reason, Shen Yi didn't feel the slightest sense of complacency or joy in his heart after eliminating this terrifying boss.
The completion of this task is really too difficult, full of too many unexpected factors.
Shen Yi didn't like this.
In fact, any strong person does not like accidents.
Accidents can sometimes be surprises, and sometimes troubles.
For the strong, they would rather not be surprised than troubled. After all, accidents are uncontrollable factors, and the real strong are more willing to obtain controllable results through their own efforts, rather than waiting for the pie to fall from the sky. Surprises may bring temporary joy, but troubles may bring the end of life.
The latter is obviously more of a problem.
But among all these accidents, there was one accident that Shen Yi wanted to know very much. If possible, it might become a controllable factor for him.
That's... that girl in white.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi closed his eyes.
He activated the three-dimensional image memory again.
He expected to see the little girl in white again in this way, but unfortunately, apart from the conversation between himself and Zeus, he couldn't see anyone in the entire command center.
A cold reminder came from the bloody coat of arms: "You have completed the hidden mission, this mission ended early, return immediately."
Shen Yi was stunned, and he quickly grabbed Marcus's body.
He hasn't got the main program of Skynet yet.
However, a white light suddenly rolled up at this moment, rolling him towards that layer of misty space.
"No!" Shen Yi roared unwillingly.
The bloody city bastard didn't even give him the chance to collect the loot!
———————————————
Coming to that strange space again, this time Shen Yi is no longer alone.
Standing beside Wen Wen, Hong Lang, King Kong and Luo Hao.
When they saw Shen Yi, they cheered at the same time.
Ruan Ruan rushed over and hugged Shen Yi, red lips were already printed on Shen Yi's mouth, this sweet kiss calmed Shen Yi's angry heart somewhat.
"It's nice to see you again." He said softly.
Hong Lang also rushed over: "Ha, do you know how dangerous it was just now? Fatty said that the danger can be reduced by leaving, but in fact, I don't think it's much less dangerous at all, but the terrain is more open, allowing us to circle around It’s just that the space is larger. Just now, four Reapers fired at me at the same time. Four! I almost died, and then I heard a whoosh, and I fell here. Ha, really no Thinking that this time we can accept the task reward together."
"This should be the reason for forming a formal team." King Kong interjected.
It was really dangerous just now, if Shen Yi hadn't completed the task in time, maybe one of them would be missing here.
The fat man cowardly said: "Captain, your hand..."
Only then did everyone notice that Shen Yi's right arm was gone.
"It's okay." Shen Yi replied: "If you want to do great things, you always have to pay a price."
"It seems that you have had a hard time completing this mission?" King Kong frowned. He wasn't worried about losing an arm, anyway, it could always be repaired when he returned to the city, but the problem was that Shen Yi's expression looked very unkind.
In fact, since he knew Shen Yi, he had never seen Shen Yi with such an expression. It was a face full of anger, sadness, and the fluke of a narrow escape.
When did Shen Yi have such rich expressions on his face?
He didn't know that it was actually a reminder from Zeus: as a human being, there is no need to deliberately suppress one's emotions. Calmness is certainly an excellent quality, but being too calm actually makes you more and more mechanized.
That's not a direction worth strengthening, just as machines don't have to be like people.
Perhaps it was because of Zeus' persuasion that Shen Yi no longer concealed his emotions at this moment.
He said: "Xi Xiaofan is dead...he should have not died."
These words surprised everyone.
"How did you get to this point?" Wen Rou asked in surprise.
"Then we have to ask this damn bloody city." Shen Yi said coldly.
He suddenly shouted: "Don't you think you should give me an explanation? City! You borrowed Xi Xiaofan's hand to force us to accept the task, you blocked my memory, let Skynet enter Marcus' body, and created a high-level The difficult boss even took away the loot that should belong to me! This is not like your proper way of doing things!"
When Shen Yi shouted these words, he didn't expect any kind of response.
But at this moment, a vicissitudes of life male voice suddenly sounded in the space: "Of course, E5371, I am also planning to have a good chat with you."
