Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 224: Mechanical Emperor! I'm here to negotiate!
Glaciers and luxury cruise ships, it reminds me of "Titanic".

This thing is so easy to guess.

But the hints given are still too few.

God knows what I need to do to find the Easter egg key once I get on the boat.

Although Xu Wang thought he possessed amazing wisdom.

If you spend a little more time, you will definitely find Easter eggs, just like this time.

But why not take control of Oasis sooner rather than later?

The sense of déjà vu of this world is too strong. Xu Wang just wants to take control as soon as possible, and then turn the oasis into a real main god space according to his own ideas!

wakaka!
Wizard Arnold looked at Xu Wang and saw that after he put away the key, he kept staring at him.

Out of curiosity, I asked, "Do you have anything you want to ask me?"

Xu Wang nodded: "Can you just give me the remaining two keys? Anyway, I can find all three keys sooner or later. Why don't you lend them to me first, and then go through the process when I have time in the future."

Arnock was speechless when he heard this. He didn't expect Xu Wang to be so shameless: "How dare you say that? It's impossible. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave."

Seeing that the wizard Arnold was about to leave, Xu Wang quickly stopped him.

Arnold stopped and looked back at Xu Wang: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I won't agree to your outrageous requests."

Xu Wang did not let himself go at this time, but just asked a more curious question: "According to the information I found, when you were still alive, the artificial intelligence crisis had not yet broken out. Since the virtual world was created by you, why don't you take all the surviving humans to the oasis?"

Logically speaking, with Arnold's abilities, he could indeed do this.

But he did nothing and could only watch humans being enslaved for so many years.

Generation after generation was slaughtered to control the population.

Xu Wang was not blaming anything, he was just simply curious about what Arnold was thinking.

Wizard Arnold didn't seem to expect Xu Wang to ask him this question.

Neo next to him also perked up at this time.

Compared to Xu Wang, he cares more about this as a native human being who was persecuted here for half his life.

Facing the two burning gazes below, Arnold clasped his hands in some confusion, with an awkward smile on his face: "I have some social phobia and I dare not see people, so I hide."

Neo couldn't accept it at all when he heard this.

This is a major event that concerns the entire human race!

Just because you have social phobia, you can just sit back and do nothing? !

Neo couldn't accept it, but Xu Wang nodded in sudden realization. Looking at Arnold, Xu Wang pounded his chest and pointed at him: "What you said makes sense, brother, I am also a social phobic, I understand you!"

"Hey! How is this reasonable? It's obviously not reasonable at all! Also, how do you look like a social phobia?"

Neo was forced into the role of a complainer by Xu Wang and Arnold.

The wizard Arnold first gave Neo a wry smile, then cast a grateful look at Xu Wang.

Perhaps because he felt that it was rare to find someone who agreed with him, Arnold explained, “In fact, I also created the prototype of artificial intelligence. Although its development later exceeded my expectations, it is still my child after all.

I treat both artificial intelligence and humans equally. Since I am already dead, I might as well leave the future to the choice of humans and artificial intelligence.

Whatever the future holds, it is a natural evolution and I will not interfere."

Hearing this, Xu Wang nodded again.

He finally understood what kind of person Arnold was.

"Xu Wang! Neo! Why are you still here? I thought you had already gone to the third level."

At this time, Guy and Buddy, who were torturing each other, also came here.

Guy greeted Xu Wang and the others enthusiastically, then looked at the wizard Arnold next to him.

They had seen this old man with white beard once a few days ago, so they were not unfamiliar with him.

When Xu Wang saw Guy and the others, he seemed to have thought of something, so he asked Arnold, "Do you know them?"

Arnold was puzzled: "Of course I know him, didn't I see him a few days ago?"

Xu Wang asked again: "How do you think of designing the second generation of artificial intelligence?"

Wizard Arnok said with some pride: "The second generation of artificial intelligence should have been launched together with Oasis..."

Arnold suddenly stopped talking halfway.

When he looked down and saw the undisguised smile on Xu Wang's face, he instantly realized that he was being tricked.

But Arnold didn't care about it. It didn't matter whether the information was concealed or not.

But now he was suffering from social phobia, so he disappeared without saying goodbye.

Guy was puzzled and turned to look at Xu Wang: "What does that old man mean?"

Xu Wang did not answer, but turned back to look at Guy and said happily: "Brother, I have good news for you."

Guy was surprised when he heard this: "What good news? Could it be that you are getting married?"

Xu Wang shook his head and pointed at Guy: "Congratulations, I found your biological father. Arnold is the one who really created you artificial life forms, Millie and the others are just borrowed hands.

In other words, Millie is not your mother anymore."

When Guy heard this, he stood there in a daze.

I don’t know if it was because I was too happy or because I didn’t react for a moment.

But think about it.

When Millie and Keyboard were making independent games, they didn't specifically develop in the direction of artificial intelligence at the beginning.

It's normal that there's a real boss like James Halliday quietly contributing in there.

It just so happens that the clue to the first key is also hidden in Millie's game Infinite Island.

There are too many coincidences.

Wizard Arnock secretly studied the second generation of AI in the oasis. This is a crucial news.

Although he kept saying that he didn't care about humans and AI, he would just watch the free development of both sides.

But in fact, this guy has been researching quietly behind the scenes.

Why secretly research the second generation of artificial intelligence?
the reason is simple.

It is certain that the first generation of artificial intelligence represented by the Mechanical Emperor will be eliminated.

It's like my main account has been ruined, so I'm starting a new account.

Neo, who was standing nearby, saw Xu Wang in deep thought and Arnold had left again, so he asked, "What are we going to do next? Go find the second key?"

Xu Wang shook his head: "No, I won't look for the key for now. I have to go back to the real world. I'm going to talk to someone. Do you want to go back too?"

Neo was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xu Wang would suddenly want to go back when he was fine.

But in this case, he must leave the virtual world and take a look at the real world.

That was his choice.

"Okay, but you have to wait in the oasis for a while until we find you near the battery factory. If we don't pick you up right away, you'll be in danger."

As Xu Wang spoke, he lowered his right hand, called out the Oasis system, exited the triathlon game, and returned to the Infinite Island.

Then, without hesitation, he activated the ability of the data body again.

Transformed into a physical entity, it returned to Zion in the real world.

Inside the Zion Sanctuary at this time.

A machine glows.

Xu Wang crawled out from it.

The operators Tank and Doser saw this and immediately came over and asked curiously, "Xu Wang, what's the matter with you coming back?"

Xu Wang nodded: "Please contact Morpheus and Trinity, our Nebuchadnezzar is about to set off."

"it is good."

Although they didn't know what Xu Wang was going to do, the two operators still went to contact Murphys and others who were still in the Oasis.

After some time.

Morpheus and Trinity also woke up from the chairs beside them. After Xu Wang said he was going to pick up Neo, Morpheus immediately understood what he was going to do.

Although we now have the Lord God Plan to recruit people, the efficiency is much faster.

But after all, I haven't forgotten my old job.

Very skilled.

The group left the shelter valve and walked straight towards the airship dock.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion around.

Another violent alarm sounded!

"what happened?"

Xu Wang was puzzled.

As locals, Morpheus and Trinity realized that something was wrong and their faces turned grim.

There were loud footsteps coming from behind.

The three of them looked back and saw that it was Commander Locke and his men running towards them.

Obviously he knew Xu Wang and the others were here and came specifically for him.

"The Pluto sent back a message that they found the drill of the mechanical city right above Zion. Behind the drill, there are at least 200,000 sentinel squids.

They found us!"

Locke said this with a serious expression.

Xu Wang raised his eyebrows: "What a coincidence? How long will it take for the drill to reach Zion?"

Locke replied: "I estimate it to be about 72 hours."

Xu Wang was no longer nervous and said cheerfully, "That's fine. There's plenty of time to change homes. I'm just going to look for them now."

Hearing this, Locke realized that Xu Wang and Morpheus were about to leave, and immediately said, "The robots are about to attack us, we must concentrate all our strength, you can't leave now."

Xu Wang remembered that Commander Locke was still a radical.

When others are thinking about how to survive.

What he wanted was to concentrate his strength and fight the damn robot!

It’s just 20 Zion humans against Sentinel robots.

If you try hard, you might still have a chance of survival.

If you don't fight, you will die.

Seeing that Xu Wang and the others were silent, Locke continued, "I know you think I'm taking a risk, but this is the best choice. We humans have no way out."

"No no no."

Xu Wang immediately shook his head: "I have a better idea. I will sail directly to the Mechanical Emperor to negotiate with him. If he disagrees, I will fight him. Either he kills me or I kill him!"

Locke: “…”

He fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

I originally thought that I was already a radical among the human survivors.

I didn't expect Xu Wang to be more radical than me.

I can only say, isn’t he worthy of being the savior?
But Locke still felt that it was a bit too far-fetched for Xu Wang to want to attack the entire mechanical city by himself.

It's not just Locke.

Everyone around thought this was impossible.

An army of squids is an army of squids.

The Mechanical City is a mechanical city.

The two are not of the same magnitude at all.

Faced with more than 200,000 sentinel squids, they were already facing the fate of being destroyed.

There are more than hundreds of millions of sentinel squids in the mechanical city.

What's more, the Sentinel Squid is only a low-end combat force in the Mechanical City.

Xu Wang’s idea is no different from giving it away for free.

But Xu Wang was determined and no one could persuade him.

There was no choice but for everyone to agree.

Although I don't have high hopes, it can be considered as a preparation for both scenarios.

Human beings have come to this point. What else can they do except cling to that tiny bit of hope to stay alive?

So, the Nebuchadnezzar took off again in the eyes of everyone, and flew towards the mechanical city along the huge pipe.

This floating ship, which represents dream exploration, seems as unreal as a dream at this moment.

Sitting in the main control room of the hovercraft, Xu Wang suggested picking up Neo first, and then he would go to the mechanical city himself.

It has come to this point and there is no other way but to listen to Xu Wang.

"How many people has Oasis recruited now?"

Xu Wang suddenly asked.

Tank, as the operator, had the data in this regard, so he immediately said, "There are 5 people these days, which is very fast."

Hearing this, Morpheus seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head sharply and looked at Xu Wang, his eyes widening: "Could it be?"

Xu Wang nodded and guessed, "It seems that our recent actions have made the Mechanical Emperor uneasy. The virtual world is temporarily weak, so he came directly to the real us offline."

The emergence of Oasis, the Lord's plan, hope, and the fall behind of the first key.

All these irritated the Mechanical Emperor's nerves.

As the real big boss, it already knew where Zion was.

Nor will they wait foolishly where they are until humans continue to expand their advantage like a snowball.

Oasis didn't take action until it had pulled all the people out of the matrix and obtained all three keys.

When the Mechanical Emperor discovered that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, he immediately and decisively took action.

It is very clear that its greatest advantage over mankind is that it holds absolute military hegemony in the real world.

But the Mechanical Emperor would never have thought of this.

It can be offline to real humans.

Hopefully you can also do it offline.

After learning that Guy and the others were the second generation of artificial intelligence created by Arnold, Xu Wang already knew how to untie the "knot" of this world.

Mechanic City is not too far from Zion.

About ten hours later, Morpheus drove the hovercraft out of the underground pipe with ease.

Through the porthole, what appeared in front of Xu Wang was a huge mechanical city made purely of metal!

The sky was covered with thick dark clouds, without a single ray of sunlight shining through.

In the huge dark city, there are all ferocious and sharp buildings with bared fangs and claws.

Many of them were flashing ominous red lights.

"arrive!"

Morpheus looked serious and a little nervous.

Xu Wang nodded: "You go to the battery factory to rescue Neo first, I'll get off the boat here."

Since they had already arrived here, there was nothing more to persuade them, so they quietly opened the hatch.

Xu Wang got off the boat and stood alone on the roof of a building outside the Mechanical City.

Looking at the lifeless city in front of him, he knew that the Mechanical Emperor must have discovered him.

So he opened his arms, laughed and said loudly: "Mechanical Emperor! I'm here to negotiate!"
