Abyssal Wanderer.

Chapter 20 NO.0014: Dive

For some reason, Jiang Zhou always felt that the way Qianxia Ying and Hei Falcon-136 looked at him was a bit strange.

136 is okay to talk about, but Qianxia Ying, who used to think she was not pleasing to the eye, looks a bit like the kind of person who married into a rich woman's house for a few years, and was told by the doctor outside the delivery room that the big and small ones were not kept. The expression that can only be seen - the kind of sadness that suppresses excitement to the utmost.

I absorbed four pieces of tactical memory in a row, and said that I can continue to fill it up. Is it really too exaggerated?

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

Whether it was Jiang Zhou or Liao Qi, in their cognition, they had no idea how outrageous it was to be able to maintain a normal mental state after doing such a thing.

At this time, Jiang Zhou still regarded the continuous absorption of tactical memory as a simple thing like "Although I am full, I still have to force myself to eat another meal".

But in fact, except for very few special cases, the pollution of the tactical memory to the mental index is completely irreversible.

Again, apart from the high-end cannon fodder on the battlefield, the tactical memory is mainly used for consumables that need to be mined in the abyss and dark net. Since the beginning of the design, the spirit of the user has not been considered. Status issue.

At this time, 136 came over.He looked at Jiang Zhou seriously, and said in a tone as solemn as if he was at a funeral:
"Theseus, from now on, you can no longer absorb any piece of tactical memory."

"Why, I feel like I can..."

"No why!"

In Jiang Zhou's impression, this was the first time the other party interrupted him with such a strong tone.

"Fine……"

He replied bitterly.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Xiaying came up and began to sing red face.

"B6 is worried about your mental state. After all, if you suddenly go crazy after the dive, it will be a troublesome thing."

she said so.

Come on, with four depth 2 adjusters around, strangling him is as easy as strangling a rat.

There is definitely something to hide from myself...

Seeing these two people playing the game of "good cop and bad cop" so lamely, Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

It wasn't until this moment that he remembered that he still had one very important matter that he hadn't asked.

"After we dive, if our 'stand-in' is killed below, what will happen to our bodies in the base reality? Will we die too?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

After all, Qian Xiaying said earlier that people who were forced to "mining" by the company did not survive an average of three months, so there must be a reason for their death.

But on the other hand, in today's normal World Wide Web, if a person's "stand-in" is destroyed, it is just a forced offline, and it will not kill people along the network line.Even if hackers kill people remotely, they must control the surrounding equipment to do so.

Therefore, Jiang Zhou speculated earlier that maybe the degree of reality brought by the abyss darknet is too high, which will cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and so on, and "scare people to death" alive.

But this is a bit unreasonable. After all, the adjutant who brought Jiang Zhou earlier said that every deep dive sub-compartment has a full set of life support systems.It has been 100 years, and there is no reason why a person suffering from a heart attack and high blood pressure cannot be saved with the current technology.

So, what is the reason why the abyss darknet killed their "mining cards"?

136 and Qian Xia Ying exchanged glances, then Qian Xia Ying cleared her throat and said:
"I forgot to tell you this... There are many reasons. For example, in the abyss dark web, avatars are forced to write a lot of incomprehensible information by malicious programs, causing brain disorders and symptoms of cyberpsychosis; or deep diving The sub-warehouse is reversely controlled by a malicious program, and the company will physically destroy that sub-warehouse together with you, but..."

"But the most cases are still caused by the possession of 'evil spirits'."

136 on the side, took what Qian Xiaying said.

"Possessed by evil spirits?"

Hearing this word, Jiang Zhou suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"In the abyss dark net, there are countless self-discipline malicious programs left over from the era of 'big impact'. They were either created by the super artificial intelligence 'Janus', or were released by the world government back then into the Internet. Created by artificial intelligence, but no matter who created them, most of them are full of maliciousness towards human beings, and there are even some existences whose source code commands are to destroy human beings.

"It's just that they are hindered by the Styx Firewall, so they can't really threaten us now. But just like we will go through the network interface to salvage technology in the abyss and dark net, those malicious programs will also find ways to bypass the Styx Firewall, Come to the human society to make trouble, and theoretically the best way to sneak over here..."

Speaking of which, 136 looked around.

Needless to say, of course, they are attached to those "greedy adventurers" who crossed the Styx firewall and came to the abyss to salvage technology, and sneaked in together while returning.

"But fortunately, 50 years ago, a cruel bitch thought of the ultimate solution to 'evil possession', and it was here..."

As Qian Xiaying said, she patted the brain-computer interface on the back of her head.

"A small mechanism has been designed in advance. Once it is detected that something that does not belong to me has been mixed into the brain, that mechanism will directly trigger the apoptosis program in the nerve cells of the brain... and now the brain-computer interface that everyone installs , will pre-buried that thing. So, why you will die when you go to the abyss and dark net, do you understand?"

Jiang Zhou nodded.

Either driven mad by excessive spam, physically killed by a malicious program trying to control surrounding devices, or committing suicide on the spot to prevent their brain from being manipulated by a malicious program.

It seems that there are still several different ways to die...

But the crux of the problem is not here...

Is the Liao Qi that I am now controlling through the "Janus System" another kind of "Evil Possession"?

If it counted, why didn't Liao Qi trigger the apoptosis program?
Qian Xiaying suddenly clapped her hands like a tour guide in a scenic spot, interrupting Jiang Zhou's thoughts.

"Okay, okay, the time is almost up. In 3 minutes, we will fall from Limbo Prison to the real hell. Everyone, check the things in your backpack for the last time, and then confirm that they are all bound by the mandala. Set it on yourself, don’t forget it when the time comes.”

The so-called "things carried in the backpack" refers to the tools or weapons selected by everyone except their own "stand-in".

Because it is necessary to dig out as much technology from the abyss and dark web as possible, in order to maximize efficiency, the things that everyone can carry in their "backpacks" are extremely limited.

As far as Jiang Zhou is concerned, a "Candle Dragon" Gauss rifle, a Scorpio pulse pistol (he thinks it is easy to use), a dozen EMP grenades, a full set of self-sensing climbing aids, a full set of lighting and night vision equipment, Graphene carapace, about an array of swarm drones, and an auxiliary anti-gravity engine all-terrain vehicle.

All of the above are bound to oneself through the mandala.As long as he "visualizes" the sixteen-digit key in his mind, he can take those things out of the void at any time.

And if he can find a universal printer in the base reality, he can also print out all these things.Among other things, the all-terrain vehicle with auxiliary anti-gravity engine without a label will cost about 150 million Ore outside, and the price is not available-after all, the commercialization of anti-gravity technology has now been realized. There is only one Pluto Deep Dive Company.

I also don't know if I can untie it from my mandala and bind it to Liao Qi's mandala - so that I can continue to extract wool from the old home of Pluto Deep Dive Company.

Jiang Zhou thought of this, and then shook his head again.

Then he died directly under the dark net of the abyss because of lack of equipment?
Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
"Seven seconds left."

Just when Jiang Zhou was thinking wildly, Qian Xia Ying reminded.

In fact, without her reminding, there is already a blood-red countdown in the sky.

The moment the countdown reached zero, everything around them, including each of their doubles, was broken down into a blank.

He did not hear any of the following words.
