Chapter 598 The Disappearance of “It”
"Is this true?! Is this a trap?"
"So far, I've never seen an account being impersonated! It can't be fake, it's Brother Shunzi's account!"
"We're back! We're all back!"
"@654321! I knew you would come back, Brother Shunzi. Where are you now, Brother Shunzi? Lead us all to charge again!"
“…”
In an instant, the surviving employees were excited. After struggling in this damn doomsday world for so long, there was finally some damn good news!
Immediately afterwards, noticing what Brother Shunzi said, they all started asking questions frantically.
"Life mentor Keaiduo: @654321, what's the PUBG game? What's going on? Never mind, no matter what, Brother Shunzi, count me in !"
"The Immortal Mo Yu: Add me in! I want revenge!"
"Being happy is like being a superman: Me too! I'm still alive now, thanks to my hatred for these bastards. As long as I can get revenge on them, death doesn't matter at all!"
…
One employee after another spoke quickly, compared to their previous "cowardly and afraid of death".
Today, employees' beliefs have undergone tremendous changes.
This disaster has made people grow, but the price is too high.
They lost so much...
Colin looked at the IDs of these old friends, and corresponding figures flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.
It has been just over three years since the first asylum notice was issued, and everything seems to have changed.
In fact, from his perspective, it has only been about half a year...
Because he was asleep for a long time.
When I woke up, many things were gone.
Shaking his head secretly, Colin edited another sentence "Be patient" and then told them that he had to confirm some of their situations before making further arrangements.
For example, the location needs to be determined.
Otherwise, the employees said it was on Earth, but now the Earth is so big.
Gathering all the people was a very laborious task, even for him.
Moreover, the location of this area had to be determined carefully. Colin could only use some reference objects in his mind and ask if any employees had seen similar things. If so, he would confirm it privately and carefully.
He or the other party will not report each other's current location, but will just say that they will go to a certain place and meet there at that time.
But thinking of this, Colin suddenly realized that something was wrong.
At this time, the employee who was communicating with him sent a message:
"Actually, that 'retarded robot' has disappeared. There's still a risk in reporting my location now, but it's not that great anymore..."
"Disappeared?"
Colin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had indeed not seen these things bubbling.
He posted the relevant question and asked it, and soon got the answer: at the beginning of the disaster, this thing was still there, and then suddenly one day, it disappeared.
It seemed as if in an instant, there was no trace left.
At present, no employee has figured out what is going on, and no one knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. However, most employees actually prefer to see this thing in the chat channel every day, and that would be the best.
It's not because they have been in contact with it all day that they have developed feelings for it, but because, to many company employees, this thing is like a cockroach.
Compared to seeing it, after a blink of an eye, it's suddenly gone.
That's what makes people feel deadly.
Especially since this is a terrifying thing that is extremely harmful.
However, compared to the employees who knew nothing, Colin had some guesses...
"The time of disappearance is somewhat close to when Mr. Wu summoned the 'City of Scripts', but I'm not sure if that's the case."
"I can't sense its specific location for now, but I can't sense its situation in the first place. 'Ms. Rabbit' also said that if I want to deal with it, I might need higher-level authority. Well, the key is authority, not strength..."
Colin pursed his lips, suspecting that it might have achieved some unknown purpose during the disaster and had left the internal group chat.
But now, the most urgent problem is obviously not this.
If it can't be tracked, it will be put on hold for the time being.
When I have a chance, I'll go check it out and see for sure whether it escaped, was abducted by some existence, or was completely sealed away, or what the situation is...
"Brother Shunzi, don't you need me over there?" "Life mentor Keaiduo" suddenly sent a question.
"The distance over there isn't very suitable. Now you just need to take shelter well, and wait for the results for the rest." Colin replied simply.
After being promoted to C-level clearance, his speech restrictions have been lifted.
I no longer feel a strange sense of unease when I send two more words than before.
"From what I can tell, this is probably some corporate response mechanism left behind in this world, and the target is indeed... 'Ms. Rabbit,' or rather, all 'outsiders,' including her."
Colin raised his hand and touched his chin, feeling that the protection on Earth was somewhat indifferent.
It's a bit like a mechanical execution system without intelligence...
It will not be like the "World No. 13" branch, which engages in some borderline manipulation.
It is what it is.
At this time, "Life Coach Keaiduo" saw what Colin said and sent a message that seemed to be very regretful: "Okay."
Colin had a rough idea of what the other party was thinking, but he was not sure about the situation of Keaiduo's relatives.
But the other party has good relationships with many people within the company, otherwise it would be impossible to get information.
However, in the past few years, many of these people have died as the "gods" wantonly wielded their power and "ignored" mortals, or died tragically at the hands of invading heretical races and civilizations, as well as various anomalies...
At present, anyone who cannot be contacted is basically in danger.
"But speaking of which, if I start to act, the whole world will probably be in turmoil. To stop me, the commotion those containment objects will create might be no worse than the 'divine disaster' at the beginning of the disaster. You must be prepared..."
"No problem." "Life mentor Keaiduo" immediately became serious when he saw this message.
"We still have half a month or a month left, so you should prepare yourselves..."
After saying that, Colin thought for a moment and sent another message:
"There's one more thing. Organize a team and have them write down all the information about the current heretics, anomalies, and some of the more active containment objects, including what they've done..."
At that time, if there is an opportunity, he will strike these guys as appropriate.
"No problem, it should be resolved soon..." "Life Coach Keaiduo" responded.
This aspect of things is not difficult, because every time the "internal group chat" is restored, someone will send up some new abnormal intelligence, asking people to pay attention and avoid stepping into the trap...
Over the years, a lot of them have accumulated.
All he needs to do is tidy it up a bit.
Soon, he finished everything and sent it to Brother Shunzi.
"That's quite a lot of data..." Colin held the parchment in his left hand, touched his chin with his right hand, and looked at the contents on it.
The higher-level creatures didn't take the initiative to move. Their common behavior at this moment was mostly dormant and waiting, with almost no activity. Even when they did move, it was mostly "proxy" warfare...
Then, some abnormal things were just ordinary. They had no actual intelligence, just mechanical actions, like stones on the roadside. If you don't kick them, your feet won't hurt. They usually don't target anything...
So the impact is not particularly large.
The greatest threat to the current population is still some alien race that appeared out of nowhere, possessing more advanced technology or special mystical abilities. They arrived here using various means and continuously captured or killed the few survivors...
Colin remembered that some time ago, he even saw some huge things like spacecraft hanging above the dome, but he didn't have the free time to deal with those things at that time.
Of course, in addition to capturing or killing humans, they will also target all kinds of abnormal things, special metal resources, and even some extremely weak higher-level life forms!
The corresponding actions indirectly led to the destruction of many shelters and gathering points in the aftermath of the battle with powerful beings.
After all, this is not their native land, so it doesn't matter how much damage is done to them.
"A group of people taking advantage of the situation to loot."
Colin summed it up briefly.
In addition to these, there are also a few friendly ones, but not many...
Then, he looked at a piece of information about the "fetal angel" and frowned slightly.
It has been confirmed that during the deep-sea catastrophe, the "Fetal Angel" suddenly backfired for some reason and turned into a being called "White Night".
"'I don't know why.'" Colin muttered these words, and some vague guesses came to his mind...
The technology of this series of "angels" all comes from the "Seventh Box World".
If I remember correctly, there was a high-level containment creature in that world at that time whose name was "Bai Ye".
"Did this guy dig a hole in the technology..."
Colin vaguely guessed the reason why "White Night" appeared.
I just didn't expect that the pit this guy dug actually avoided the company's "disinfection" inspection...
"Or maybe the technology itself is fine, and it's only when creating certain special 'angels' that there are pitfalls... It was a gamble on probability, and it actually paid off."
Colin speculated that after the appearance of "White Night", there had been many conflicts between it and some of Shana's clones or the extraordinary people under her command.
It clearly showed interest in Shana...
Or more accurately, interest in Shana's extraordinary characteristics.
However, it obviously does not have the strength to defeat the opponent. If it really shows up, it will probably be expelled.
But anyway.
"This guy, if there's a chance, we have to be the first to take him down."
Colin recorded this thing in the first line of his notebook.
Then, after roughly sorting out the currently known information about the heretics and anomalies, Colin promised his employees that when there is a chance, they will not let any of them go!
"I'll trouble you with the task of picking up people, Shana." Colin looked at Shana beside him, then picked up a grilled squid and handed it to Shana who was sitting next to him.
Although this squid looks a bit abstract, it is safe to eat and there is no particular pollution.
As for an old friend, the intention is enough.
"Well, don't be polite with me."
Shana took the food handed to her by Colin, and after confirming the direction, she sat still, but a series of hazy figures walked out of her body, turned into streams of light, and left quickly in different directions.
After watching Shana finish eating, Colin fed her a few more and felt much happier.
For the next few days, neither side spoke much about the battle that was about to break out.
Empty your mind and "play" in this ruined apocalypse.
Colin acted as a guide, explaining the functions of various things to Shana - but Shana already knew most of them. She had long used her own unique abilities to quickly and directly interpret large amounts of online information.
Thus, I know most of the things about this civilization...
All the knowledge is stored in her mind like folders.
However, even though I knew it, I felt a different mood when I saw Colin introducing it.
"There are some methods of transmitting information through ' light signals', which are very meaningful to us..." Shana said as she walked, holding Colin's hand.
"I, and most of the Beyonders of the Church of Light, can actually directly decipher the information within the thread. If every church is connected through these 'light signals', the entire world's Church of Light can even be connected together."
"Oh, then the rulers of those countries will soon be unable to sleep again."
Colin thought of the various religions in various countries that were very wary of the "Light" religion and said with a smile.
"Almost. But they also can't resist this kind of thing, ultra-low-cost, ultra-long-distance communication... But compared to this, I think the 'scientific' way of thinking and cognition is probably much more valuable than all of this..."
"For a long time, this world lacked extraordinary power. However, through a new way of thinking and understanding the world, it was accomplished..."
Shana paused, looking at the broken world with regret and sigh in her eyes: "It's almost a drastic change."
She had visited many worlds, and to be honest, Earth's overall level of civilization wasn't particularly special...
But most of them are either relics from the "ancient times" or the accumulation of long and exaggerated evolution. Among them, there are not many that can continuously rely on the race itself to make progress and achieve "technological explosion" like here.
The simplest example is that if we go back ten thousand years, this world would be suppressed by the extraordinary people on her side.
This time continues to move forward, until eight thousand years, three thousand years, and one thousand years ago, nothing will change much.
But starting from a few hundred years ago, the change in thinking was reflected in reality, and civilization rose rapidly. Until modern times, the situation has reversed.
From a historical perspective, this happened in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for this sudden catastrophic event, the world here would likely have entered another round of "technological explosion" due to the emergence of something called "extraordinary".
By then, I'm afraid only a few of them will be able to protect themselves...
