Chapter 2 Essinger Crisis

Qinglong came over and flicked away Suzaku's halberd. "I'm warning you, kid, I will never be threatened."

I exclaimed in mock surprise. "Oh! I actually met my soulmate. It's so exciting!"

Suzaku moved the weapon to my neck again. "You are not afraid of death, are you? Then I will demolish your city."

I looked at Vina deliberately. "Did you hear the barking of the mad dog? Why do I feel so close?"

Wei Na smiled and said: "I seem to have heard it too. It's really strange. Why is there a dog on the top of Juling Tower?"

Suzaku's angry eyes almost burst into flames. She raised her halberd and stabbed it towards the ground. Wei Na realized that she was really moving and immediately pushed me out. The red halberd pierced the ground at the top of the Juling Tower like cutting tofu. The red light on the halberd flashed, and a red arc penetrated the entire Juling Tower. The elevator inside the Juling Tower suddenly lost power and fell down to the lobby on the ground floor. There were still many players in the lobby at this time.

Chuang Wang came back just in time. He wanted to find the elevator, but when he looked up, he found that the elevator was falling downwards. "Oh! Everyone, get out of here, get out, get out of here!"

The crowd dispersed with a bang, and everyone rushed out of the lobby of the Juling Tower. King Chuang, who was running at the end, jumped out of the door and the elevator landed at the same time. There was a loud bang, and a pillar of fire spurted out from the gate, sending people outside flying dozens of meters away.

As soon as the explosion ended, a large amount of rocks began to fall from the outer wall of the Juling Tower, causing the people below to run further away.

"You said you didn't want to tell me?" Suzaku looked at me and asked, his tone quite vicious.

"It's really troublesome. Whose crazy dog ​​stays up late at night and barks non-stop?" I walked back to Qinglong and said, "Is it your barking dog? Do you know that this is very immoral? This will affect your neighbors. Maybe your neighbor has something important to do tomorrow, and just because your puppy keeps barking, the result...!"

Before I finished speaking, Suzaku had already pulled the weapon out of the ground at the top of the Juling Tower. But at the same time, a crack had expanded to both sides along the gap left by her weapon. The building on the top of the tower collapsed. The crack reached the edge of the outer wall, turned around, and began to extend downward. Almost everyone in the city saw huge cracks extending down the wall of the Juling Tower to the ground, and huge cracks appeared throughout the tower.

After a loud explosion, a burst of electric sparks flashed, and the thunder cannon presented by the dragon clan broke. The huge ring-like ring broke into five or six sections and fell to the ground.

King Chuang shouted to everyone on the ground: "Be careful, something is coming down."

A piece of debris several hundred meters long fell with a loud bang on the third city wall, and a large section of the city wall suddenly fell down. Rock fragments and fire suddenly covered a large area around it.

I quietly started a private chat with him and adjusted to the text message mode: "Rose, don't make a sound, don't move, just reply with text like me."

"Yeah. Tell me."

"Take everyone out of here immediately and organize the personnel to evacuate Isengard. It looks like it will be bad today. These four guys are too powerful. All the laws and constraints are meaningless to them."

"What should I do about Essinger?"

"Don't worry. No matter what they destroy, I have a way to make them compensate. If they refuse, I will use the last resort."

"You don't want to go back, right? Even though you are the eldest young master of Long Yuan, I can't go back because of you?"

"According to regulations, senior NPCs cannot actively infringe on the interests of players without 'harassing' them. They came here on their own today, not me to find them, so no matter what they did, it was against the rules. No matter how powerful they are, the main system is still the strongest thing in this game."

"Okay then, I'll take everyone to evacuate as much as possible."

The power of the four holy beasts is so strong that I am like an ant in front of them. Wei Na had always been very powerful before, but after seeing the Four Sacred Beasts, she was as fragile as a middle school girl in front of a special forces fighting coach.

Qinglong came over and grabbed my neck with one hand and lifted me up. Wei Na wanted to save me, but a green magic circle with Xuanwu written on it suddenly appeared in front of her. After Vina hit the magic circle, she suddenly disappeared as if she had passed through it, and then even the magic circle disappeared.

"What did you do to her?" I suddenly became angry. Wei Na is not an ordinary NPC, her meaning is extraordinary. Wei Na's body is the most valuable for research in Long Yuan's laboratory. Her physical body in reality exhibits quasi-magic effects. Long Yuan has never discovered that any creature really has special functions before, but Venady indeed exhibits the phenomenon of supernatural powers.

What's more important is that Vina has a physical body, just like Lucky. She can be transplanted into a real life form. If her consciousness is eliminated here, it will be equivalent to killing someone. If the game "Zero" actually killed a physical person, then the game would be considered untrustworthy and extremely dangerous, and such a thing should never exist.

Suzaku walked up to me and said, "Are you distressed? Speak up. Maybe we can consider releasing her."

I didn't answer Suzaku's words but looked at her very angry. "I'm really angry."

Xuanwu looked at me and said: "Your friend has just been sealed. She will not be in danger for the time being, but if you always insist on not cooperating...!"

I looked at Qinglong who was still holding me. "Can you give me two hours to think about it?"

Qinglong suddenly let go. I fell to the ground. He said very arrogantly: "I only give you one hour. In addition, it is best not to do your little tricks. There is no point in evacuating. No matter where they go, as long as they are still on Chinese soil, I can take them out." They captured them. As for these cities and boats! I think even if you move, you won't have time to evacuate in an hour. Okay, think about it quickly. We'll be back in an hour." After saying this, the four holy beasts turned into The ball of light disappeared into the sky.

Almost at the same time that the four of them left, the Juling Tower suddenly made a strange loud noise, followed by the sound of some metal twisting and rocks bursting. "Oh crap!"

The 7,500-meter-tall Juling Tower was cracking in the rubble everywhere. The platform at the top of the tower had begun to collapse. I could clearly feel that the tower was tilting in one direction. In everyone's shocked eyes, the Juling Tower, the former iconic building of Essinger, collapsed. The huge tower body was thrown to the ground like a whip, and all the buildings and buildings along the way were smashed to pieces. The rock fragments flew as far as more than 100 kilometers. The entire first-layer structure of Essinger was severely damaged, and even the second layer was penetrated where the tower was directly smashed down.

The shock wave caused by this terrifying change spread nearly a thousand kilometers. Many nearby cities felt obvious earthquakes. The waves on the sea were rolling like the beginning, and fish jumped out of the water.

I directly opened the guild channel: "Don't panic, everyone, start the evacuation work immediately. Send the children of the underwater race to the submarine first and send them back to Atlantis. These children cannot be injured. Don't clean up the ruins in the city. Immediately concentrate on evacuating scientific and technological achievements and valuable materials. Send everything to Tianyu City, which is not under the control of the four holy beasts. Hurry up, everyone. Come on. I have to go offline to deal with more important matters. The command authority is temporarily Hand over the responsibility to Eagle and Hongyue, everyone, come on."

After the explanation, I didn't have time to look at Essinger's situation. Directly offline.

After taking off my helmet, I rushed to the lower experimental area of ​​the base almost as fast as lightning. I rushed into the command room and activated the broadcasts of all relevant departments. "Attention all biological and cyber departments, I require all personnel in the above departments to return to their jobs within 10 minutes and cancel all permission to go out. Maintain emergency response status within one hour." After saying that, I smashed it with a fist Remove the glass protective cover of the emergency system, and then pull up the handle to activate the emergency handling alarm.

The alarm in the base confused everyone, but everyone reacted within a few seconds and started running to their respective posts. All emergency systems in the base were activated, and even the auxiliary robots were launched collectively.

"Shenlin, what happened? I heard that you activated the base emergency alarm."

"The biological human Vina is the female experimental subject who can control electrical signals with her thoughts."

"I know, she is the most critical experimental subject. What happened to her?"

"The Four Chinese Sacred Beasts in the game captured her, and they want to destroy her. I remember that Wei Na's identity is a one-time 'sexual' NPC. If she is killed, it may lead to the complete disappearance of the land. And I think other synthesis Living things are not safe either. High-intensity torture may cause confusion, and we may lose all experimental subjects within a few minutes."

"Then order the export of stream of consciousness immediately."

"I'm doing."

"Then I won't disturb you, just hurry up."

I really can't stand it, I didn't expect things to suddenly become so complicated. If the four holy beasts destroy the intelligent form in the game, it may directly cause external life to lose its function. And even if I told Biling's situation, the Four Sacred Beasts who saw a pile of bones might be furious and kill Wei Na and me without giving us a chance to explain. If I had known better, I wouldn't have negotiated terms with them from the beginning. It would have been really dangerous now!

I rushed to the biological research control room and asked the heads of various departments waiting there: "Where are the people from the Network Department?"

"here."

"You immediately locate all existing electronic consciousnesses and introduce them into the transition space."

"clear."

I said to the head of the biological department: "Turn on the power supply of the artificial human world, and the integration of all electronic consciousnesses will begin immediately. You only have one hour. By the way. Dr. Zhang, please disconnect Lucky from the game immediately to protect all Stream of consciousness.”

"clear."

I saw that some of them were still standing and immediately patted the table. "What are you still doing standing around? Go and work!"

Only then did the researchers remember, turned around and rushed out.

I got to Lucky first. The researchers quickly disconnected him from the game and woke him up. I said to Lucky: "You have to be quiet now. Something happened in the game. I am saving everyone's lives. There may be accidents in the process. You have to be vigilant at all times. I will come back to call you if necessary."

"Don't worry, Master."

I nodded and turned around and ran towards the isolated artificial world. The huge alloy gate slowly opened in front of me. More than 30 researchers and more than 20 small automatic transport vehicles were waiting next to it. As soon as the road was opened, we would rush in and transport all the experimental subjects still soaked in the jars. Go to the connecting room.

After the gate opened, the huge metal bridge gradually turned around from being horizontal in the air. Finally, the bridge was connected, and then the gate on the opposite side began to slowly open. I rushed across the bridge with the researcher. The gates are opening one after another. There are a lot more things here than the last time I came here. It seems that many new products have been added.

"Move all these things onto the automatic transport vehicle and send them immediately to the birth room of the Biology Department."

"clear."

Researchers outside began to direct the transport vehicle to use loading tongs to transport the jars containing biological samples. I opened the last hidden secret door. "Come over and put this on two cars."

All the jars were sent to the biology department, and I returned to the birth room with the jars containing Wei Na and Ling, which was actually next door to Lucky's big room. Looking at the time, only 30 minutes have passed. It seems we still have time. The network department is still locking the stream of consciousness according to the list, and we can only wait.

There are obviously many more jars in the room than the last time I went there. Except for Wei Na and Ling, I also saw all my humanoid pets. Behind them, there are 21 large jars floating with perfect males and females. They are the Ring Knights, but we have no intention of creating an armored dragon.

Wei Na and the others were wearing nothing. I was embarrassed to keep staring at them, so I mainly spent time studying the Ring Knights. When I went last time, I also saw the bodies of the Ring Knight, but obviously these bodies were different from last time. The main change was that they became smaller. The current Ringtone Knight is only about 1.75 meters tall, which is slightly taller than my height of 1.72 meters. From the outside they look pretty perfect. The body proportions are in place and the face is quite handsome, but their muscles are not obvious, although they look like people who exercise regularly. But there is no exaggerated sense of prominence.

The director in charge of this project said to me: "During this period, some animals have undergone adverse changes, and we have already abandoned them. Anyway, they were just a pile of meat before they had connection consciousness. What we see now are the latest enhancements."

"Why have I become so much shorter? And I don't seem to be as strong as before."

"Height was specially specified by the chairman. I don't know why it was set to 1.75 meters. Originally we planned to set it at 1.85 meters. As for the muscles, they are used to improve concealment. If the muscles are too The protrusion makes it easy for the enemy to lift them up. And we have strengthened the muscle combination. Although they don't look very strong now, they are actually much more powerful than those muscular men."

"What about these female experimental subjects here?"

"Most of these are just finished, especially this one," the research director said, referring to the peppers. "This is based on Experiment No. 002, which is where the telepathy effect called Vina is produced. We haven't tested the specific effect yet. Today is an emergency start and we can't guarantee the reliability. But I think it should It’s a safe place.”

I raised my fist: "Of course it's safe. I'm b13, the highest crystallization of bioengineering."

"Report, the stream of consciousness has been completely locked." A researcher from behind shouted.

I immediately walked to the front and ordered: "First, separate the stream of consciousness from the game. Be careful not to affect the game."

Suddenly a progress bar pops up on the home screen. An electronically synthesized female voice sounded: "During electronic stream of consciousness extraction, please pay attention to the power rationing. One percent completed."

"Two percent done."

"Three percent done."

"..."

"100% completed. Stream of consciousness separation is completed, and all target stream of consciousness captures are successful. Now disconnect the external connection, and the analog signal is waiting for access. Try the primary port connection... Warning, no connected port found, please 'insert' the port to prepare Stream of consciousness merge.”

The researcher looked at me and asked, "We can complete up to three at a time. Which three should we start first?"

"This this and this." I mean Wei Na, Ling and Xiao Chun.

The researcher 'plugged' the data interface as thick as an arm into the three petri dishes I ordered. The electronic voice sounded again. "The sensor interface has detected a valid connection, please specify the 'action'."

The researcher quickly worked on the console, and three consciousnesses were extracted into the output port. My eyes are staring at the three bodies in the jar, but I don't have any bad thoughts now. Suddenly, Wei Na's body twitched first, and then her fingers began to move. Then Ling and Xiaochun also twitched, and then began to move slowly. I picked up the microphone inside the tank and started talking to comfort them. I didn't want them to finally become human beings but die from an overdose of adrenaline.

"Weina, Ling, Xiaochun. It's me, I'm Ziri. Can you hear me?"

All three bodies shook, but there was still no other reaction. I knew this indicated that the body had already reacted consciously.

"You are going through a special process now. Wei Na has experienced it once before, so it should be familiar to you. What you have to do now is to relax and don't be nervous. I will be by your side, so don't be nervous. There are a lot of people around you. Earth water. These are special waters. They will not drown you. You can breathe in these waters, so don't tense up and don't use your strength. Relax your body. Don't control it. "

The electronic sound sounded again: "The electronic stream of consciousness import is completed. Cut off the port connection. Please unplug the port. The system needs to electronically clean the port."

The researchers pulled out the connection. The yellow lights on the three petri dishes all jumped to green. The three breasts are moving slightly, but very slowly. Suddenly Wei Na opened her eyes, and then Ling and Xiao Chun also opened their eyes at the same time. Despite my prompts, they still acted very nervous. The three pairs of beautiful eyes were all wide open, and they were looking for something everywhere in conjunction with the movement of their hands.

I walked up to the jar with the microphone in hand, smiled and waved to them. The three pairs of eyes immediately calmed down after seeing me, and they no longer had that frightened expression. I picked up the phone and said, "Don't be nervous. It's safe here. You need to stabilize now. I will let you out soon. The thing in your mouth is connected to the food pipe. If you feel hungry, just suck it gently." The food in the tube will flow into your mouth, but it's best not to eat too much. You need to slowly adapt to the feeling of food now. Okay, now try to wave to me."

The three beauties immediately smiled and waved to me. It felt a little strange to see three super beauties floating naked in the jar and waving to me and smiling.

"Okay. Now you follow my movements. Stretch out your right hand. Okay, turn. Yes, slowly, okay. Now start moving your fingers, the first joint, yes. Good. Change hands, this way, okay. Yes. Move your fingers.…”

I continued to use words and actions to guide them to move various parts of their bodies. The data displayed by the instrument was very good, with 100% biological activity and no adverse reactions at all.

"Okay, now I'm here to pick you up. When I open this thing, the water around you will be drained first, and then you will lose support and fall to the ground. You will find that your muscles are weak and you cannot stand. This is normal. Don't be afraid of the situation, it will be fine in a dozen hours. Okay, I'll start with Vina first, she has more experience, you can watch and do the same after a while. "

The researchers behind me have already prepared special clothes and are waiting. In order to avoid embarrassment, they have replaced all the male researchers except me with female ones before entering their consciousness. Everyone in the base is for science. Experimental subjects will definitely not have clothes. Contact with male researchers is naturally inevitable. Everyone has no bad thoughts and does not care about this. However, Wei Na and Ling are not researchers at the experimental base. Staff, they also have gender awareness and shame awareness in the game, so I still replaced all the male researchers.

I entered my password on the meter in front of the culture tank, then pressed my hand on the fingerprint access detection pad.

The tank made a mechanical sound: "The fingerprint comparison is passed, the password is correct, and finally the control lock is opened. The connection of the liquid discharge port is detected, and the liquid discharge begins."

The liquid level in the tank began to drop rapidly, and Vina gradually fell down. I used my voice to guide her movements. "Don't try to stand. You don't have enough strength to lift your legs all the way up. For squatting like this, OK, let your feet hit the ground first, and then slowly sit down as the 'liquid' level drops."

The liquid was finally emptied, and Vina collapsed at the bottom of the filling body. The high-pressure glass shell automatically rotated half a circle, and then opened up and down. I quickly walked in and helped Vina remove the tube from her mouth, then lifted her hand and pinched the infusion needle inserted into her vein. "It may hurt a little, just bear with it." After seeing Wei Na nodding, I pulled out the needle quickly. At this time, moving quickly can reduce the pain. Wei Na's body twitched obviously, and it seemed that she was still in pain.

Although Wei Na is very weak now, this body is artificial after all, and its strength is not comparable to that of ordinary humans. As soon as I pulled out the needle, the wound became invisible. This small needle hole cannot be considered an injury at all. I picked her up, and Vina turned red. She opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly found herself unable to speak and looked panicked. I hurriedly comforted her: "Don't panic. Your vocal cords haven't adapted yet. You can't speak now. They will return to normal in a few hours."

After hearing my comfort, Vina no longer panicked and let me take her out. The researchers outside rolled up the gurney, I put her on it and the two smoke researchers started dressing her. This kind of clothes is actually a white coat, similar to a bathrobe. The base has an excellent air-conditioning system, the temperature is suitable and there are no bacteria, so there is no need to wear too many clothes.

After telling Wei Na to lie down for a while, I went back to get Xiao Chun out. When I hugged Wei Na, she only blushed, but Xiao Chun's whole body turned red, and her whole body was stiff as if she was very nervous. It seems that loyalty affects far more than just obedience! The last one to be carried out, Ling Pang, was much better, at least she didn't have any rejection reaction. After putting on the clothes of the three of them, we started to release other humanoid pets one after another. The steps were basically the same, except that Chili was a little troublesome. She struggled so hard inside that she almost broke the jar. The others were all weak when they came out, but Chili came out on his own.

After settling their humanoid pets, I asked the female researchers to go out, and then a group of male researchers came in. Now let's release the Ring Knights one by one. These men perform much better than the girls. At least they are calm after all. The advantage of being a soldier is that it is easier to command. These guys behave very disciplined when they come out. Although they are extremely curious about the things around them, I don't say they don't even ask.

The entire release process took more than twenty minutes. Including the initial delay, it was almost an hour. Hurry up and go online.
