Chapter 404 Large Group
Li Sheng put down the red beetle corpse and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air with an ionized smell.
Then, he squatted down without any grace and groped for his eyeballs on the ground.

This battle is extremely dangerous, with the Liang Yi sword, the Hanhai Soul Locking Bell, the skill mobile USB drive, the floating engine, the Ten-fold Tonic Pill, and the Qilin Blood Plasma.
All the equipment and props that could be used were used up, and only then did they exchange injuries for injuries and barely kill the opponent.

That is, before entering the secret realm, Li Sheng used the [Death Note] to predict that he had only a 30% chance of dying in the basement.
Otherwise, he really didn't have the confidence to fight to the end. He would have frowned, protected Jose in front of him, and decisively left the battlefield and ran away.

Uh... something's not right. If the chance of death in this battle in the basement is only 30%, doesn't that mean other areas of the secret realm are even more dangerous?
"The eyeball is here."

Gray Rain slid down from Li Sheng's body and helped pick up the two eyeballs that still had some nerves attached to them. He blew on them and handed them back to Li Sheng, asking with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"I can still hold out for now."

Li Sheng rubbed his eye sockets and activated the puppet assembly special effects to reconnect his optic nerve and completely restore his vision.

Then he pulled up the corpse of the red beetle, ran out quickly before the tunnel collapsed completely, and leaned against the wall to rest for a while.

Only after he had caught his breath did he stand up and peel off the hyperplastic tumor on his body like picking grapes.

He didn't dare to remove the Liang Yi Sword now. The effect of the Qilin plasma arterial injection was too strong. If he switched back to human form hastily, he would be affected by the Qilin blood in a matter of minutes and fall into frenzy like Nie Feng.

Reason, what reason do you want me to have?
"anyway,"

Huiyu suddenly thought of something and pointed at the cartoon-style cherry and pepper tree patterns on the broken wall. "Did we forget to ask the beetle who painted the picture on the wall?"

"It's not too late to ask now."

Li Sheng first activated the puppet assembly special effects and roughly patched up the wound on the red beetle's body to prevent further blood loss.
Then, he inserted his remaining left arm into the insect corpse and connected his arm to the beetle's medulla oblongata.

Then he directed Hui Yu to open the three-dimensional warehouse, took out a laptop and a bunch of cables, and plugged the USB card reader and data cable into various parts of the beetle's body.

Finally, turn on the computer and start the DiskGenius hard drive bad sector detection and repair software.

He is now in insect form, and his underlying genetic coding is highly similar to that of the red beetle. After being assembled using assembled puppets, the two can be roughly viewed as a whole.

The red beetle's main brain is already half-cooked, but fortunately, it uses a distributed nervous system.

Each limb can think independently, which means that each limb stores a portion of memory backup. Forced repair can still recover some memory.

"Select hard disk, HD1, capacity 2150TB, bad block detection in progress"

As a divinely infected body, the red beetle had previously killed and devoured seventeen self-aware infected "fellows". In its body, a vast amount of genetic data was stored.

Li Sheng instructed Huiyu not to worry about the massive amount of data for the time being, but to sort them by modification date, giving priority to recent memory, and soon, he found the answer.

The red beetle's self-identified name is [Large Group]. It came to this secret place about two months ago.

Like the players, it quickly realized that there were a large number of highly threatening anomalies lurking in the secret realm, as well as huge treasures that might be hidden behind the secret realm.

In order to maximize its profits, it lay dormant.

On the one hand, teleportation traps were set up in other places on the killing field to capture extraordinary creatures from the outside world.

On the other hand, using his own biological transformation technology, he transformed into a clinic in northern Myanmar, broke these extraordinary creatures into small pieces, and created a powerful biological electromagnetic cannon to deal with various threats in the secret realm.

[Large Group] is very clear about what kind of existence the killing field players are. It sits back and waits for the players to come to it, and its original intention is to let the players take the lead.

Crack the secret lock to unlock the secret realm, and take advantage of it, and it will then find another opportunity to reap the rewards at leisure.

If the player takes a long time to arrive, it is estimated that the [large group] is ready to "let Jose go" and let the latter help lure people over.

As for the children's colored paintings of cherry trees and pepper trees on the basement wall, at least in Da Qun's memory, they have always existed on the wall, but no one knows who drew them.

"that."

Hui Yu was carefully looking through the system log when he noticed something. His expression changed slightly as he said, "It seems to say here that a [large group] is not a single individual."

"What?" Li Sheng hurried forward and read the system log carefully.

[Copy memory files to the target backup body and keep metadata]

[Number of backup bodies recorded: 10]

[Delete the path and timestamp information of the backup body in the log file, and keep the backup record documents and gene restrictions]

[Set the time period to 7 kill weeks. If no continue dormancy command signal is sent back, the backup body will be activated.]

[Update the large group memory, backup completed]

Just five lines of code reveal an astonishing amount of information.

The swarm, or rather the infected bodies called the swarm, will use biological modification technology to regularly back up their bodies and memories and seal them somewhere in the killing field.

There are ten backups in total, which are always in dormant state.

Every 7 killing weeks (sixty days in Earth time), the large group of entities will issue a hibernation command in some way, allowing all backups to continue sleeping.

Once something unexpected happens to the main body of the swarm and it is unable to issue commands, all the backups will wake up and become a new swarm.

“One life leads to ten, and ten leads to a hundred?”

Hui Yu was dumbfounded and said, "Whose Australian rabbit is this?"

"It's not that ten out of ten will give a hundred."

Li Sheng stuck out his tongue and pointed to the words [Keep backup records and genetic restrictions in the log file], "Each group knows which generation of backup it is (this one is the 21st generation), and there are restrictions in the underlying genetic code.

It will not back up indefinitely and degrade itself.

At most, only one or two generations of herds were active in the killing field at the same time."

He paused and said, "These large groups are both independent individuals and a whole. Their goal is to devour all the other infected insect masters, constantly evolve, and become the only insect master.

To this end, it would rather not be a player.”

During the battle just now, the group could have killed Jose remotely, deprived him of his player qualifications, then logged out of the battlefield and escaped far away.

That it did not do so proves two points.

First, the group's backup resurrection plan is quite complete, and the death of an individual does not mean the death of the group as a whole. So it is not afraid of death.

Second, the connections between large groups are very close. If one individual becomes a player, other backups will also share the same qualifications.

".Tsk."

Li Sheng smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. The group deleted the path and timestamp information of the backup body in the log file. Even it itself didn't know where the backup body was buried.
There is no way for other infected bodies to follow the clues and kill it completely.

No wonder the seventeen infected fellows were all devoured by it. This ability to survive is like that of a cockroach, which can survive even if it cannot defeat the enemy.

When I think about it this way, I feel like I was fooled before. Daqun only said that it killed several of its compatriots, but didn't say how many times it itself was killed.

"Four crosstalk performers are swearing at each other in the street. Whoever survives to the end will have the right to speak and will be the veteran artist."

Hui Yu muttered and scratched his head, "So our fight was in vain this time?"

"It's not a wasted fight. Although the group has a backup resurrection system, in order to ensure that the strength does not decline between generations, each backup has a complete genetic database. That's enough."

Li Sheng took a deep breath, the skin on his fingertips melted, and he silently absorbed the flesh and blood of the insect corpse, "Hehehe, hehe, the entire genetic treasure trove accumulated by twenty generations, bring it all to me."
