War Paradise

More than forty years have passed since the birth of the civilian Internet.

Many people have not realized how fast the Internet world has developed in these forty years.

As mankind enters the information age, the Internet space is expanding at an almost exponential rate. Today, the size of cyberspace has long been beyond human control.

With the rise of Internet cloud computing services, a large number of virtual servers have begun to appear. At first, these things were still under human control, but with the rapid expansion of cyberspace, the complexity of the cyber world has reached a point where humans cannot resolve it.

Humans have built a virtual world beyond their control.

There was once an urban legend: It is said that in the dark center of the online world, there is a program called "Queen", which is absorbing all the complicated data on the human network at all times, and then using these data and information to nurture Out of life forms that only exist in cyberspace.

That thing is like a real queen hidden in the dark underground, constantly creating "worker ants" of different shapes.

Of course, this is just a sensational rumor. but……

In the boundless void, a computer virus suddenly "woke up".

——For the virus that is given the mission of destruction and plunder, maintaining its own existence is the first priority. It is different from those viruses that constantly "reproduce" on the Internet. TDK-131 will not split too many "children".

But each of them is the cruelest fighter in the online world.

"Live."

This idea first appeared, and then this idea began to spread, even overshadowing the destruction instructions left by the virus writers.

Stay alive.

Stay alive.

Can't die yet.

The virus at this time doesn't even have the concept of "self". It doesn't know what it is, but it has a very strong desire to survive.

It "sees" that the comrades are attacking the firewall of a bank, many comrades have been killed, and many new comrades have made up for it.

According to the set procedure, it should also rush forward immediately, acting as cannon fodder for the companions who finally breached here.

But... it flinched.

In order to survive, it retreated along the data channel, left the dangerous area where the "blood battle" was erupting, and hid it from the side to spy.

The virus that was supposed to "death with generosity" began to panic at this time. But this is not a manifestation of cowardice, but a symbol of "greatness."

——A new life was born from this dark virtual world.

"Is that right."

Lin Chi lying on the bed is still thinking about the words Frankenstein said: "When did you remember it?"

"yesterday."

A soft voice floated in through the door, like a silk ribbon, gently rubbing Lin Chi's cheek: "I remembered it yesterday."

"Do you remember who your'creator' is?" Lin Chi continued to ask questions.

Even today when the TDK-131 virus wave has been ended, people still don't know where this mysterious virus came from. The criminals who wrote this virus are extremely cautious and leave no trace.

Although even organizations such as the Security Bureau have been dispatched, much of the money plundered by the virus has not been recovered.

Lin Chi is also quite curious about the origin of TDK-131. But this time, Frankenstein still failed to answer his question:

"I do not know."

"Really?" Lin Chi stared at the dark door, his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness of the bedroom.

"Really." Frankenstein's tone was decisive.

"Well, that's really a shame." Lin Chi closed his eyes again.

For some reason, after chatting with Frankenstein, sleepiness finally came to Lin Chi's heart. Realizing that he was about to fall asleep at last, Lin Chi's speech speed also slowed down a lot:

"Say it during the day, I'm going to sleep."

The Frankenstein outside the door was silent for a while, and said, "Okay."

——Is this guy so "gentle" usually?

Lin Chi, who has always been with Frankenstein on weekdays, also noticed the abnormal performance of the AI, but he didn't say much. Within a minute of closing his eyes, he fell into a dreamless sleep. .

...

At midnight, there are still many users in the illegal acceleration zone of the field.

The vast majority of users who spend a long time in the illegal acceleration zone are unsatisfactory losers in real life. For them, who are under great pressure and almost collapsed, the domain has become an excellent place to escape reality.

Most of these guys who are escaping from reality use some unique and weird modules. All kinds of tentacles, crocodile men, and legendary creatures in mythology emerge endlessly on the street. No matter what module is used, no one will be surprised.

Boom.

The feet protected by pitch-black leather boots stepped onto the streets of the 13th district of the realm.

A "soldier" wearing a body armor and an old-fashioned Kevlar helmet walked slowly through the chaotic 13th district.

The module used by this visitor is quite normal compared to the monsters of different shapes on the street.

"This guest, come to play on the computer!"

In a shop not far away, the female boss was shouting her "commodities". The soldiers were obviously not here to go shopping, ignoring the various adult websites on the street, and went straight to the distant bridge.

Turning into a dark corner, the soldier's figure suddenly disappeared. Passed through the invisible gate in 0.1 second and entered the secret area.

A faint blue light lit up in the secret room. The area of ​​the room was less than ten square meters. The soldier stood in a small space, behind the wooden table in front of him, and extended a pale bone claw.

Then, a ghostly voice floated from under the table:

"Welcome to the information room, now is not the pick-up time, please go to the official website to buy information."

"I know who you are." The soldier's voice was not warm, as if it were a law enforcement officer who was interrogating a prisoner: "I can provide what you want."

"Hahaha..."

The owner of the house laughed: "The next April Fool's Day will be five months later."

The face under the soldier's helmet was covered by unnatural shadows, only a pair of green eyes were exposed: "You are a wanted criminal, and you are trying to whiten yourself."

"..."

The bone claws on the table stopped, and then the eviction order was directly issued: "We have nothing to say."

"Do not."

At the last moment before the other party cut the connection, the soldier stood in front of the wooden table, took out his ID and patted it on the table: "To tell you the truth, the police have roughly determined the location of your real body, and now you are dead. But as long as you can provide the information I need, I can help you get rid of them."

"Nonsense."

The owner said so, and confirmed the ID provided by the soldier. Then, his voice suddenly went up several scales:

"Ann...Security Agency?"

"Yes it is."

The soldier nodded and put away his ID:

"As long as I post a message, your identity will change from an'Internet Wanted Criminal' to an informant of the Security Bureau. The police will immediately stop chasing you, and your previous criminal record will be wiped out."

As if seeing his own hope of "whitewashing", the homeowner was so excited that he forgot to change his voice and almost exposed his own voice: "What on earth do you want to ask?"

"I want to know, what do you know about the illegal acceleration zone-the'Blood Bar'?"

The soldier's gaze was like a lone wolf that had locked its prey: "Tell me all the information about that illegal acceleration zone. This is the only way you can avoid prison."
