Chapter 398 Perfect World

At this time, Su Mo and Dong Dong were coming back from buying supplies.

After the outbreak of the Kuroshio War, the world government over-issued currency to meet the needs of the war. In addition, various production costs increased, demand exceeded supply, and prices rose severely.

The factory-synthesized bread that could be bought with a few moon coins is now sold for dozens or even hundreds.

Strategic materials such as sugar and various medicines have been included in military control, and they are not even available for money.

If you get sick these days, you either rely on your immunity to bear it, or find ways to get medicine from the military control department.

If you are not in good health and have no connections, you can only wait to die in panic.

As Su Mo and Dong Dong walked, a man in a gray coat hurried past.

He went straight to the most crowded place, and took off his gray coat while the nearby soldiers were not paying attention, revealing the black leather coat with wolf head line carving inside, and then began to shout:

"Fellow countrymen! Don't be silent anymore! While we bow our heads and keep silent, the wolf attack fighters are fighting for our future with blood!"

"For a hundred years, giant companies have ridden on our heads and trampled on our dignity. As long as those jackals exist, our dignity will no longer exist!"

"Go to fight! Fellow countrymen! For our loved ones, for the future children to live in a freer world, go to fight!!!"

Before he could shout a few words, the nearby soldiers rushed over quickly, pulled out the riot sticks and hit him hard on the head and body, beating him to the ground with blood all over his face.

Even though his hands were handcuffed and his neck was pressed down by a knee, he still shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Respond to the wolf attack! Compatriots! Fight together! Never give up the struggle! Never give up the struggle!!!"

Soon, the man was put into the car with a hood on his head, and the soldiers swept their eyes with ferocious intent to warn them not to have unrealistic ideas.

This year, such things happened from time to time, and even every day.

These people who dared to stand up were undoubtedly warriors and very brave.

But unfortunately, they were too scattered, without a unified command and without strong power. In the end, they could only be like now, with a flash in the pan after the blood.

Under the rapid suppression of the soldiers, another wisp of flame was extinguished.

The pedestrians around lowered their heads and left, not daring to conflict with the soldiers, but more anger accumulated in their sidelong glances.

Su Mo and Dong Dong were nearby at this time and witnessed the scene of the flames being lit and extinguished.

Dongdong is 18 years old after the Chinese New Year. She has finally grown up and turned from a childish little girl into a young girl.

Maybe it's because girls develop early, or maybe it's the influence of replacement prosthesis. She hasn't grown taller in the past few years, and her appearance and figure haven't changed. She still looks petite and delicate, just like she did back then.

But after years of tempering, she has lost her previous impetuousness and has become much more stable.

What happened just now happened in front of her. If it was her three years ago, even if she didn't stand up for the overall situation, she would definitely not be able to hide the anger on her face.

And now she just watched the man being taken into the car and drove away silently. Through her indifferent eyes, no one could see what she was thinking.

At this time, Dongdong felt a hand gently on her shoulder.

Su Mo looked at her with a gentle smile on his face: "I suddenly remembered that you will become an adult after the Chinese New Year. Sorry, it's been so chaotic these days that I didn't have the chance to give you a proper coming-of-age ceremony."

Dong Dong smiled and shook his head: "It's good to be a child. I don't want to grow up yet."

Su Mo joked: "That won't work. I'm slowly becoming an uncle. If you stay young forever, it's not fair to me. You have to grow old with me."

Dong Dong laughed and said angrily: "No, don't take me with you when you grow old. I can't I am ready to be a beautiful girl for life."

As they chatted, Su Mo seemed to think of something, squatted down and patted his shoulder: "It's been a long time since I carried you like before, come on, get on, I'll carry you home today."

Dong Dong stretched out his hand and pushed him: "Hey, how old are you, and you're still carrying me, I'm not a child."

Su Mo: "You said you don't want to grow up, you want to be a child forever. Come on~"

He hugged Dong Dong's waist without saying anything, and lifted her up like a pig, causing her to laugh.

Dong Dong hugged Su Mo's neck, put her body on his back, leaned her head on his shoulder, and felt the broad shoulders.

Halfway, Dong Dong looked at the direction where the man was taken away just now again, and his figure could no longer be seen, leaving only an empty street.

The arc of Dong Dong's lips gradually disappeared, and his eyes became deep.

"Boss, we shouldn't keep silent anymore."

Su Mo just carried Dong Dong on his back and walked forward. After a while, Dong Dong heard his answer.

"I know."

When Su Mo and Dong Dong returned to the Edge Building, KK went straight to Su Mo and said hurriedly: "Brother, the conscription order has been officially issued."

Su Mo took the document and took a look.

As mentioned before, the World Government Army was in a tight spot in the war with Wolf Raid. On the one hand, in order to replenish troops, and on the other hand, in order to make Wolf Raid have some concerns, they have begun compulsory conscription.

Since Zhou Hannian fell and the Death Scythe Mercenary Group was ordered to disband, the Edge Mercenary Group has become the largest mercenary group in the entire New Moon City and even the entire World Government area.

Although the combat mode of mercenaries is different from that of regular troops, compared with soldiers recruited from civilians, mercenaries have stronger and more professional combat qualities and are excellent candidates for supplementing manpower.

During this year, many mercenary groups from all over the country were recruited to the front line.

Due to Luo's previous arrangement, the leaders of the original City Council in New Moon City were all "own people" who took over after the fall of the leadership team. The successor of the City Council, Schenkov, has been under pressure and did not put the New Moon City mercenary group on the recruitment list, which involved more transition time for Su Mo.

However, now the transition period has passed. Shangting has successively airdropped personnel in the past three years to familiarize themselves with and take over local government affairs, and has now begun to insert core matters.

Tomorrow, New Moon City will usher in a new City Council Speaker, and Schenkov will be transferred to the Shangting Council to serve as a high-ranking but powerless nominal position.

This is not only a promotion but also a demotion to sideline him, but also a way to break up the entangled forces in Xinyue City and make it easier to regain control of the city.

The mercenary groups such as Edge and Moxue will be transferred to the front line to participate in the battle against Wolf Raid under the command of the regular army.

Su Mo returned the conscription documents in his hand to KK: "How to deal with it. Gather everyone and prepare to go to the front line."

KK's eyes flashed with some deep meaning, and he nodded: "Understood."

Su Mo entered the elevator and went to the basement.

As we all know, the Edge Building has a total of 100 floors, 88 floors above ground and 12 floors underground.

There is a saying in the old times that the land area is one of the indicators to measure a country's strategic potential. This saying is also universal when it is reduced to the level of power.

How big the potential of a power can be is closely related to its "territory".

Like the Edge Building, it is just one building at most. It is so small to live in, put equipment, and store supplies. There are only so many things that can be done, and the upper limit of potential is there.

If you want to continue to improve your potential, you must expand your territory.

The conventional approach is to expand outward, such as contracting several parks, or setting up branches to distribute business and equipment.

But Su Mo did not do this. His choice was to "expand downward."

In the past three years, due to the accumulation of technology and experience in the previous beast crisis incident, the ground-air technology has become more and more mature in the hands of the future.

She used the ground-air technology to organize an engineering team to open up an extremely large space under the edge building. The combined area of ​​each floor is as large as the entire Lakeside Business District.

The reason for such a big hassle is that Su Mo had been planning a plan three years ago, a secret plan that could change the entire world pattern.

Su Mo came to the 12th floor underground and stopped in an aisle that didn't seem to have anything special.

He turned on his mobile phone to connect to the corresponding system, entered a command and password, and passed the biometric information recognition.

There was a sudden vibration in this aisle, and the whole began to sink slowly.

This process lasted for a full minute until a hidden passage appeared at the end of the aisle. After Su Mo walked out, the aisle rose back to its original position without leaving any trace.

Su Mo came to a steel door with a fiery red umbrella logo on it. After entering the door, he saw a huge space.

The walls were covered with various high-tech equipment and holographic display screens, flashing complex data and images.

In the center of the hall, there were rows of mechanical culture dishes. Each culture dish was more than two meters high, with a completely transparent shell and filled with nutrient solution that glowed with light blue light.

There was a humanoid creature floating inside the culture dish. The reason why they were not directly called "humans" was that although they had human appearance, their bodies showed an inorganic structure similar to that of machines. They closed their eyes and floated in the light blue liquid, as if they were sleeping.

The number of these humanoid creatures was very large. This floor alone was so densely packed that there was no end to them, and there were hundreds of floors like this space under the Edge Building.

At the end of this floor, Qi Ling was standing there looking up at something.

When Su Mo came over, she smiled sweetly: "You're here, Mo Tong hasn't woken up yet."

There was a special glass cabin in front of the two of them, in which a sleeping girl was suspended. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as porcelain, and it looked crystal clear under the infiltration of light blue liquid.

She closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered from time to time on her face. There were several cable ducts connected to her spine behind her, as if some kind of biological data transmission was being carried out.

This little girl was none other than Su Mo Tong.

Su Mo Tong was not a human, but a construct. The human form she presented was just a mimicry based on her own cognition of the surroundings.

The development cycle of the construct was also different from that of humans. She looked like a three or four-year-old girl before, but now three years later, she looked like a human in her teens.

Three years ago, since Luo handed over the human document to Su Mo, he had been letting Su Mo Tong absorb the knowledge in it.

The content of the human document was too huge. It contained all the literature and materials in human history. It was impossible for any human individual to absorb all the knowledge in it.

Even someone like Sumer who has hyperthymesia cannot do this. He may be able to remember everything he sees, but it is impossible for him to read all the information in human documents with his naked eyes.

Just like you count with your mouth, starting from 1 and counting up one by one, you can never count to a trillion seconds even if you spend your whole life.

Low learning efficiency is determined by the nature of carbon-based organisms.

But as a construct, Su Motong's learning method is different from that of humans. She can directly connect at the data level and input knowledge into consciousness in a digital form.

The learning efficiency of this method is unimaginable for humans. To make a vivid analogy, humans need to read a book page by page, while she only needs to CTRL+C and then CTRL+V the corresponding data.

Now Su Motong carries the entire human document in her mind. She knows everything in human history, can see through the essence behind everything, and is familiar with the objective laws of all things. She has both seamless and flawless logical thinking, and the romance and sensibility of a poet who can appreciate the beauty of all things.

Omniscient, omnipotent, a combination of absolute rationality and absolute sensibility

In literary works, this kind of description is often used to describe a kind of existence - God.

Qi Ling looked at Su Mo Tong who was sleeping, and asked thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, I don't quite understand why you spend so much time to let Mo Tong absorb humanities knowledge?"

"If it is just to enhance our strength, technical knowledge alone is enough. In fact, we have completely mastered blood codes, prosthetics, and spiritual brain technology from human documents two years ago, and we have the capital to overturn everything."

"But you still keep dragging it on, asking Mo Tong to learn history, read prose, and read poetry in human documents. I don't quite understand what the point is."

Su Mo smiled slightly and said: "Although Mo Tong is a construct, she is also my child. I don't want her world to be left with only cold technical knowledge. I want her to know all the true feelings, good and evil, beauty and ugliness in the world, so that she can live a complete life."

Qi Ling is a smart person and a very sensitive person. She can hear that Su Mo's words are half true and half false, with true feelings and concealment.

But she can't tell what the specific meaning is.

Qi Ling and Su Mo have been together for so many years, and she already knows him very well. He will tell you what he wants to say, and it is useless to ask if he doesn't want to say it.

She didn't say anything more, and kissed Su Mo on the lips: "Tomorrow, everything will be turned upside down. I will debug the Black Zetsu virus again to make sure there are no loopholes."

When Qi Ling left, Su Mo still stood there and watched her back.

Until the figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, he whispered faintly:

"Zero, I will give you a perfect world" (End of this chapter)
