Chapter 920: Upheaval

"Shang, are you sure you really want to do this?" Xia Weiwei took a step back and shook her head.

In his eyes, a dangerous light was shining, but unfortunately, the man named "Shang" did not see this signal that indicated that something was about to happen.

"What else? If we fail..." Shang moved his stiff wrist and neck.

"Is there anything wrong with failure?" Xia interrupted Shang's words unexpectedly, his expression suddenly became crazy and ferocious, his eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at Shang, whose body was gradually recovering, and speaking fast said. "Isn't it good to let 'Utopia' replace this world that has been devastated by war?"

"Xia, you—?!"

"What are you talking about, Xia?!"

"That's right, I've decided from the very beginning that I want the organization to fail. You're wrong, I'm wrong, we're all wrong... The mastermind is the right one. Imagine if our brains can really digitized, then we will have endless lifespans, we have almost infinite time, we can create anything, any miracle will no longer be a miracle, we can even become... gods! But now? I still have the last A few years of lifespan will return to dust after exhaustion, and you will be imprisoned in this coffin-like life-support cabin forever, until the last bit of vitality in the cells is squeezed out, and you die silently... ...Are you willing? This world should belong to us! We are the elites selected from millions, we are the masters, we are the masters, we should not just hand over the world to those ignorant fools!"

Xia's speech was fast, and his arms were waving wildly because of his emotions. From a distance, he looked like a conductor conducting an impassioned march on the stage.

"Xia, you're crazy." A voice came from the loudspeaker above the head. Obviously, it was the words of a person lying in the life support cabin. As for the Shang who had climbed out of the life support cabin, On the other hand, he had a horrified expression on his face, his body trembling slightly, and he didn't respond even when the robot waiter put a robe on him.

"I'm not crazy, I'm sober, since you don't agree with me... sorry—"

Xia suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist, quickly aimed at Shang who was standing there, and pulled the trigger resolutely——

"Boom!"

The crisp gunshots echoed in the confined space, Shang slowly knelt down on the ground, and the bright red blood slowly spread under his body.

The lead bullet pierced his heart, and Xia didn't shoot him in the head, because there was only one reason - his brain would not stop functioning immediately with the death of its master, and those remaining in the brain Things, for Xia, can also come in handy...

Until his death, the expression on his face did not change at all... In the past, Xia had always been one of his best friends, and even among the nine of them, Xia and Shang had the best relationship. I never thought that one day, my former best friend would pull the trigger on me.

"You actually killed Shang?! Guards! Guards! Guards! Arrest him—no, kill him!" A voice mixed with horror and fear sounded, but no matter how much they shouted, there was no guard Rushing in, even the robot waiter who just helped Shang to wake up just stood quietly by the side, indifferent.

"Have you forgotten? According to the original contract, none of us can hurt anyone, so they will not obey this order." Xia's tone was extremely calm and calm, and he kept looking at the remaining people with an indescribable gaze. After sweeping back and forth on the seven life-support cabins below, he walked towards the life-support cabin step by step.

"you--"

"no, do not want!"

"But I'm different, I'm not a machine, so... I can break my oath at will..." Xia said calmly, walking to the back of a life support cabin, unplugging the connection with the life support cabin. pipes and cables.

"Humanity will evolve, and we will sublimate to a more advanced form of civilization... As for those who stand still...will only become the dust of history..."

"You can't do this! You...don't! Please! Don't!" This is a woman's voice. Because the pitch is too high, her voice synthesized by software has even been distorted, which sounds extremely harsh .

"Qing, in my memory, you have always been a dignified and demure woman. Even after your face is getting old, you are still so charming, but you are so out of control now..." Xia Unplugged the cable behind the second life support module.

The screaming suddenly disappeared.

"Do you know what you are doing? Have you considered the consequences?" The voice was relatively quiet, and he was still trying to stop Xia's crazy behavior. However, for Xia, none of this had any effect...

"I know what I'm doing. Of course I consider the consequences of doing so. Are you satisfied with this answer? Zhou?"

"wait wait wait--"

The sound stopped abruptly, and Xia dropped the cable plug in his hand on the ground.

"Xia... I know we can't stop you, but I have a request."

"Requirement? You can tell me about it. From the past, maybe I will consider it." Xia had already put his hand on the cable of the fourth life-support cabin, and squatted halfway on the cable of the fourth life-support cabin. In front of him, he looked at the face of the person sleeping in the life support cabin through the transparent resin glass.

"My family... and my descendants... I hope you can let them go..."

"I won't do anything to your family, don't worry, in the future, it will be a world without pain, killing, and war...Everything will become as beautiful as ideal...It's a pity, you can't see it We're here." After finishing speaking, Xia unplugged the cable in his hand, and the densely flashing lights on the side of the fourth life support module gradually went out, and the face of the body lying in the life support module also began to gradually turn red. .

The oxygen supply has been cut off, and it only takes a few tens of seconds for that bloodshot face to turn pale again, and his brain will also completely stop working.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about it." Xia stood up, waved to the robot standing beside him, and gave an order, and the robot immediately slid to the side of Shang's body, using a high-speed The rotating circular saw saw off Shang's head, then cut open the skull, took out the entire brain, and put it into a glass jar filled with transparent liquid.

The bodies and brains of the other seven people are still connected to the computer. Xia can directly retrieve the information in their brains through the computer, but it is different for Shang who has come out of the life support cabin. Things, you need to perform some more complicated operations.

"Shang, you guy... you really like to cause trouble for me..."

Looking at the brain floating in the glass tank, Xia smiled and shook his head, walked to the front of the last three life-support cabins, and said——

"Well, is there anything else you want to say in the end?"

"No more, if this is the doomed end of mankind..."

"How could it be the end? This is a new era, a new beginning...Humanity will evolve, and the result of evolution is to abandon this fragile and cumbersome body—the body is a cage that imprisons our future , if we don't break this cage, we will never be able to become the top civilization form in the universe..."

Xia suddenly took out a jackknife from his pocket, opened the blade, and quickly cut his arm. Immediately, bright red blood flowed out from the wound and dripped onto the ground.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed because of the pain, but the corners of his mouth were raised upwards, and he pulled out a smile that looked a little crazy: "Look, how fragile this body is, it will bleed, it will hurt, it will Death... what a useless thing it is, in order to protect this body, we have to wear thick protective clothing even when we leave the atmosphere, how can we become the masters of the world?"

Throwing the bloody jackknife on the ground, Xia tore off a corner of his shirt, and hastily bandaged the wound on his arm.

"Remember that night decades ago? At the beginning of 2019, we received repeated electromagnetic signals from the distant universe many times, and in June 2022, that pulse signal appeared again. At that time, we could almost confirm that , this pulse signal comes from a certain civilization in a certain corner of the distant universe... However, do we dare to reply to this signal? We dare not at all——The history of human beings is only a few million years. When we are complacent about a little bit of technological progress, other civilizations have already broken through the boundaries of space and time. Looking at the whole world, we are just a low-level and backward primitive civilization.”

Xia raised his arms, clenched his fists tightly, and walked back and forth quickly. The heels of his leather boots knocked against the metal floor, making a crisp sound——

"It is this body that restricts our development. In our history, there have been many amazing and brilliant people, but no matter how talented they are, their life span is only a few decades... Ten years is too short to do anything, and time will bury their achievements, just like soil burying their bones, how many discoveries that can change human beings have been ignored and discarded by stupid people... you Have you ever thought that if you give enough time to those great men in the history of science..."

"Calm down, you should think about it..."

"I'm very calm! How many times do you want me to repeat?! Yes, the life support cabin has indeed extended our lives, but we can't survive forever, and, with your current state, every time your consciousness changes from chaos Waking up in midst is tantamount to consuming the remaining life, how many years do you think you can live? Ten years? Twenty years? This amount of time...is not enough!"

"But as long as humans don't perish..."

"We should believe in ourselves, instead of entrusting our future to those who have not yet been born!" Xia interrupted the man's voice again, "Okay, since you have no intention of changing your mind...then, say goodbye to this world forever Well... my ex-friend."

Xia didn't continue to procrastinate, and quickly unplugged the cables connected to the last three life-support cabins. Finally, all the life-support cabins in the "core area" stopped operating. The group that created the "organization" back then The legendary figure also truly fell into a long sleep...

Only this time, they never woke up again.

Xia seemed to have just gone through a long-distance marathon, with his hands propped on the hatch cover of one of the life support cabins, bending over and panting heavily... His body, which was restored to youth by drugs, was rapidly aging. Every minute a large number of cells are dying, and the number of new cells is far from filling the gap.

He doesn't have much time. It only takes one year at most, and his appearance will become an old man with gray hair, wrinkled skin, and a bent spine. After two years, he will need to rely on ventilators and life support devices In order to barely maintain the normal operation of the body, after three years, this body will turn into dust with his will...

Thinking of this, Xia's deep aversion to human flesh couldn't help intensifying a bit.

"This damn cage..."

Breathing gradually calmed down, Xia straightened his waist, but his gaze stayed on one of the life support cabins.

This is a closed life support cabin, covered with a thin layer of dust. The body lying in this life support cabin was thrown into the incinerator more than ten years ago , but that person's "soul" is still alive in this world.

"Qin... Do you know how much I envied your ability..." Xia looked at the life support cabin and murmured, and then his long and narrow eyes narrowed... …

"It's just not now, you didn't break free from this cage, you just changed from one prison to another...you poor...prisoner..."

...

...

Riding the elevator, Xia returned to the basalt chamber located directly above the core area. The moment he showed up, the old speaker hurried up to meet him——

"My lord, I just received an emergency signal from the core area, but the signal was cut off in less than a second, and the passage to the core area was also locked, and it was not opened until you came out. Next in the end……"

Before the speaker finished speaking, Xia glanced at him casually. With just one glance, the speaker felt that the remaining words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit out even half of them.

"They're dead, they're all dead."

"You... what did you say?"
