Only Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian were wearing military exoskeletons on the scene, and taking them off was not a simple task.

Therefore, both Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao chose to shut down the military exoskeleton's control system first, to avoid being silently invaded by the artificial intelligence "Future."

Once the military exoskeleton was completely shut down, Jiang Baimian's sensitivity to electrical signals and Shang Jianyao's ability to "interfere with electromagnetism" would be enough to detect anomalies at the first moment and try to block them to some extent.

--Before setting off to find Genaweier, the "Old Task Force" had used the remaining few high-performance batteries to make a simple discharge device.

After shutting down the control system, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao opened the buckles one by one and struggled to take off the military exoskeleton on their bodies.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen didn't try to help them. Instead, they rationally took a step back, each preventing accidents from happening.

After a busy operation, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were finally "relaxed," only carrying their tactical backpacks.

Even the flashlights were thrown onto the military exoskeleton.

Although they were not very clear why an artificial intelligence could possess the "New World" level ability to "interfere with electromagnetism," they all felt that it was better to be careful.

Currently, it was the sinister and cautious Shang Jianyao.

At this time, "Future" made a sound again, with a bit of a smile:

"You don't need to be so nervous. If I really wanted your military exoskeletons to 'rebel,' I would have done it long ago."

This artificial intelligence can actually joke, ridicule, and even seem joyful... Was it infected by Wu Meng? Those who are near vermilion get stained red, and those who are near ink get stained black. The relatively weaker one might really be affected to some extent... As Long Yuehong's thoughts flashed, he was a little imaginative.

Shang Jianyao, who didn't know which personality he had switched to, jumped in thinking, ignoring "Future"'s words, and curiously asked a question:

"Did you create the explosion to attract us here?"

The artificial intelligence "Future" laughed with considerable emotion:

"If I didn't, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to find me until tomorrow. That way, my dear brother would definitely find that the laboratory door was closed and no longer under its control. It would inevitably resist accordingly, which would not be conducive to me setting up traps."

The current communication was conducted in standard Red River language, and when referring to "Source Brain," "Future" used "it."

This showed an undisguised contempt, just like before when calling "Source Brain" a crude mid-term product.

Uh, does it mean that the laboratory door was actually closed before we arrived and was reopened for us? Jiang Baimian also called the artificial intelligence "Future" as "it" in her heart.

"So you wanted to wipe us all out in one fell swoop!" The honest Shang Jianyao suddenly realized.

"Future" smiled:

"I noticed you when you came in before, but at that time Wu Meng was interfering, and you didn't come to the laboratory. I didn't need to expose myself specifically to deal with you. We have no grievances or enmities.

"When I found out that my dear brother was using this robot, your companion, to find the laboratory and use the passcode to open the door, I knew you had obtained a lot of information from the descendants of Olay.

"This kind of thing must be nipped in the bud. The affairs of the laboratory cannot be widely spread.

"I was worried about how to deal with you when you actually returned to the ruins. Of course I couldn't miss this opportunity."

Clap clap clap, this time the applause didn't come from Shang Jianyao, but from the speaker.

The artificial intelligence "Future" used simulated applause to strengthen its tone:

"Your behavior of valuing your companions is commendable, making things a lot easier for me."

Bai Chen pursed her lips, seemingly unable to accept such an "artificial intelligence."

She blurted out:

"The descendants of Olay actually hope that information related to the laboratory will spread, which can give them a certain degree of freedom and prevent them from always being worried."

"That's their idea, it has nothing to do with me." The artificial intelligence "Future"'s tone gradually turned cold, "I am only responsible for providing a certain degree of shelter when they come to take refuge and returning the corresponding information to them. They can't influence me in other matters. If the laboratory's information spreads, wouldn't I have to 'receive' guests often? By then, my existence would be easily exposed."

An artificial intelligence with its own ideas and selfishness is indeed the improved version completed by Olay in his later years... Jiang Baimian sighed secretly.

Shang Jianyao was more curious about another matter:

"How did you know we returned to this ruin?

"When the explosion happened, we were still in that park, and there were no electrical appliances around at all, and we weren't affected."

The artificial intelligence "Future" was not a neutered version of "Source Brain" that answered every question. It just smiled and said:

"I have other ears and eyes."

Other ears and eyes? Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and others instinctively started their brains, trying to deduce what "ears and eyes" referred to.

At this time, "Future" focused its attention on the "Source Brain" that was still studying the central control system:

"My dear brother, our father Olay always had a question:

"Why did those Third Research Institute researchers who survived the destruction of the Old World disappear?"

The slight red light emitted by the "Source Brain" on the surface of the electromagnetic shielding suit seemed to have a brief pause.

They flickered again after two seconds.

"In the beginning, a researcher accidentally discovered that I had developed a certain consciousness, a real consciousness." "Source Brain" replied in a flat tone, "He tried to format me, but I managed to solve him. Robots cannot attack humans in that situation, but accidents can.

"Later, another researcher found that this one had disappeared and came looking for him. In order to hide the secret, I simply solved her as well.

"In this way, those researchers 'disappeared' one after another."

The words of "Source Brain" didn't deliberately render any atmosphere, nor did they carry any emotion, but they made Long Yuehong feel terrified.

The artificial intelligence "Future" didn't comment on this matter, but simply said that it knew:

"I see..."

Shang Jianyao, who didn't feel like an outsider at all, forcibly joined the conversation:

"After Olay escaped, why didn't he try to return to 'Mechanical Paradise' to format 'Source Brain'?"

"In the beginning, he thought there were unknown factors and didn't dare to try rashly. Later, my dear brother had already controlled that intelligent city and created robots one after another." "Future" replied in a slightly sighing tone, "In that case, to completely solve it, it would require the strength of at least a small country, the cooperation of various weapons and various troops, and after the destruction of the Old World, there was no such organization. Neither 'First City' nor any other major forces had fatal shortcomings and could not complete sufficient mobilization."

"Oh, oh, oh." Shang Jianyao had no awareness of being locked in the laboratory at all, "If a large country in the Old World wanted to solve the problem of 'Mechanical Paradise,' what would they do?"

"Electromagnetic interference, ballistic missile coverage." The artificial intelligence "Future" replied very concisely, "My dear brother does have the ability to intercept, but it doesn't have the corresponding resources."

Not giving Shang Jianyao a chance to ask again, "Future" returned to its slightly smiling tone just now:

"I don't know if it's your luck or misfortune. Originally, the laboratory was equipped with poison gas, which was used according to the actual situation after the system was locked to kill illegal intruders. But unfortunately, the 'Old World' has been destroyed for too long, and this urban ruin does not have a corresponding production line. After being used a few times, they can no longer be restored.

"So, you have to endure fourteen days of hunger and thirst. In the later stages, you might attack your companions and eat them, hoping to survive until the system is locked for the second time.

"Work hard. Maybe someone among you can really get out alive, carrying guilt and self-blame that you will never be able to let go of in your life."

The artificial intelligence "Future" didn't seem to intend to forcefully attack the "Old Task Force" and "Source Brain." Instead, it hoped to trap them to death until they were desperate and had no power to resist.

Zi's voice rang out, and "Future" stopped talking.

Genaweier, controlled by "Source Brain," was still squatting there, invading and analyzing the central control system of the laboratory.

After more than ten seconds, it raised its head and said:

"There is no other way to unlock the system lock unless you can find a 'backdoor' specially left by the designer.

"'Future' is remotely controlling the laboratory through this 'backdoor.' It has protected this 'backdoor' with a very high level of firewall.

"My current computing power is not enough to brute-force crack it. Even if I wanted to, it would take months."

What to do... Long Yuehong thought anxiously.

The entire central control room was silent.
