Chapter 96 Dreams in the Darkness

  People must be afraid of the dark.

Humans are diurnal animals, and their senses are specialized for the day. At night, there are too many hunters [such as many nocturnal cat killers] who can kill them in an instant. The ancient ancestors had to

Use fire and crowds to protect yourself.

 People who are afraid of the dark will instinctively lean near firelight in the middle of the night.

People who are not afraid of the dark have a much smaller chance of inheriting their "not afraid of the dark" genes.

 What humans fear is not darkness, but "losing awareness of their surroundings".

 When humans lack information about the surrounding environment, they will think that they are facing things or environments that are insurmountable, uncontrollable, and unknowable. At this time, they will instinctively think of death and life-threatening things or environments.

For the ancient human being, he had to learn to associate from "a clump of swaying grass" to "a tiger lurking in the grass". This association may be to scare himself nine times out of ten. But as long as once

By allowing that primitive human to avoid predators, he would be more likely to become the ancestor of modern humans.

 This is a set of mechanisms that have been embedded in the amygdala.

After being trapped in the dark, humans will feel fear, and then their heartbeat will speed up, their body temperature will rise, and adrenaline will be secreted - this is the body preparing for "escape". Although sometimes, this will speed up the loss of physical strength,

Reduce the probability of rescue of the trapped people. But the human body is, after all, designed for hunting and hunting on the prairie, and natural selection will not take into account that tens of thousands of years from now, modern humans will need to go down mines or be trapped in elevators.

 Of course, this is the age of natural man.

 But even if the transformation rate is maximized, humans still cannot escape this curse.

 As long as a person's prosthetic eyes, prosthetic ears, and network card are all forced offline, the modified person will also fall into great fear and even madness.

 But human beings have the ability to overcome instinct after all.

Zheng Lunnao’s consciousness was wandering in the darkness.

 Decades ago, when he was treated like this for the first time, he almost collapsed.

After that, Dr. Hu told him that if he still wanted to live here, he would have to endure this kind of thing continuously. All of them bear the mark of sin. If they dare to escape, they will be punished by the Rangers.

A dragnet-like pursuit. Even if you search for relevant information on the Internet, you may be rushed into your home by the protector and pinned down... No, maybe what you learn on the Internet in the future is a "customized version" of wrong knowledge for you.

The kind that can kill you at a critical moment.

  King Agni has such ability.

 Suicide, risking your life and fleeing into the world, or...continue living and endure such things again and again.

 From that day on, Zheng Lunnao made a choice.

 He often uses the interface of "meditation" and asks his disciples to help him remove the chip. He often thinks in this state.

Gradually, he even realized the "tactile" difference between "thinking with a hard drive" and "thinking without a hard drive", and gradually learned how to avoid brain areas directly connected to output devices and how to avoid having his thoughts taken away.

Zheng Lunnao didn’t know that he had actually rediscovered one of the “origins of internal strength” unintentionally.

Neigong was not suddenly invented by the ancestor of Neigong. Before the birth of Neigong, many geeks consciously used implanted devices to exercise their programming abilities. It is like countless tributaries converging into one big river, and finally these results became

Technologies that are shaking the world.

 People with no basic knowledge have a certain probability of rediscovering these early techniques through brutal meditation training. In a sense, this can be regarded as a "god-given skill".

  But this kind of "reinventing the wheel" is of little significance to masters of internal strength. The rough internal strength born in the early meditation method is far inferior to the training method improved by scientific thinking.

For Zheng Lunnao, this is just right.

 The real internal strength will have an instinctive counterattack after being hacked. This can be easily detected.

Hacking technology itself is difficult to apply in ordinary life and production scenarios. People who master this technology will be regarded as potential rebels by default.

Zheng Lunnao's body does not have the neurological activity of a conventional internal strength practitioner. Even King Agni's students did not notice that this guy could circumvent his own control to a certain extent.

 But Zheng Lunnao is not completely immune to the harm of darkness.

 He is just using memories to evoke the past.

From the perspective of the instrument, this is a kind of nerve impulse similar to dreaming. Maybe this guy has been frightened to the point of collapse.

Zheng Lunnao can only consolidate his mind over and over again in memories.

  ——I must be more...

The story begins with several huge fireballs falling from the sky. The 100-meter-high steel structure is actually the landing cabin, and the huge shock-absorbing structure only protects the army of drones inside. Tens of thousands of drones... there may be something inside

Unmanned aerial vehicles with nuclear batteries fell off the landing pods like floating dust and began to surround the city.

  The landing module also emitted silvery mist. It was a kind of aerosol intertwined with "iron flakes". The drone emitted a strong magnetic field, pulling the spread of these aerosols.

  Panic began to spread. Many people tried to escape from the city. But they were quickly shot to death by weapons carried by drone swarms.

This kind of killing is indiscriminate.

 There are some patrons and research knights who want to leave the city using their own aircraft.

But their aircraft either crashed inexplicably in mid-air, or were killed by "lines of fire" falling from the sky.

 According to King Agni, the "suspected Xiangshan Man" could be anywhere, and could be disguised as any individual. He might even be an expert at controlling battleships for the lord, and be the brain attached to the aircraft.

 He will not let any individual go.

--I need courage……

 That was a story decades ago.

 In panic, the lord conveyed the will of King Agni.

 No, not at all. For the residents of this city, this information is publicly available online.

 The "guy suspected of Xiangshan" please leave the city and go to the designated place on the wild to die.

 Otherwise, King Agni will blow up the city.

 The patrons from above began to ask the untouchables to cry out. They led the people to cry and beg for help from a knight.

"If any of you know that guy..." the lord begged, "If you know the relevant clues... please find him and plead with him! Save this city!"

  Time is running out. The countdown has only started in a few hours.

 Some people began to run madly on the streets. Fear breeds violence, and violence breeds destruction.

 Some local knights and warriors also started taking action. They tried to impersonate "Xiang Shan".

  After all, it is too common for Cybermen to change their prosthetic bodies. King Agni was not sure what the other person looked like.

 But King Agni seemed to be sure of distinguishing individuals. Many warriors entered the area covered by iron hua, trying to reach the designated place. However, the countdown never ended.

 Amid this chaos, Zheng Lunnao also took action.

 Although we only talked for a few years. Although "she" at that time may not be "he" now.

but……

Soon, Zheng Lunnao discovered something different on the chaotic streets. Some warriors suspected of being gang members were killed by the page's tactics. Judging from the traces on the bodies, the perpetrators should be the same.

one.

Zheng Lunnao probably knew that that person was taking action.

  ——Is this some kind of self-rescue?

 He even had some vague expectations.

After walking through many streets, he arrived at a gang's stronghold. He saw his target.

A slender warrior with a prosthetic body slowly killed a gang member, pulled out the storage device from his head, and then yanked hard with a stick, and the fragments flew into a nearby burning fire. The warrior

Wearing a hood, a cloak, and a scarf - this kind of warm clothing is very rare in this era.

Someone had already arrived before him. A prosthetic man... used a neutral voice, and it was difficult to distinguish the psychological gender bias. He said fiercely: "I'm still doing this... I'm still doing this! What's the use?

?You are going to die soon! Please, think of another way...think of a way!"

 His mood seemed to be a little broken.

“The collective memory compiled by this gang may become the seeds of the green forest, and it must be carefully eliminated.”

The man leaned on the stick and looked up at the sky: "The 'old friend' over there only gave me this little time, and I can't do anything else. Just think of it as making a little more contribution to my hometown in this life."

"But what should you do..." The stranger knelt on the ground: "But what should you do... You haven't... Xiang Shan, you shouldn't die here like this. You are the resurrected Xiang Shan, you..."

"'Xiang Shan' has died at least seven times. There is nothing he shouldn't die for." Xiang Shan looked at the white streak on the horizon and said: "I would give my life a thousand times for this world... It's a pity that this kind of thing is not death."

The more you work, the more successful you will be. It seems like this life is indeed coming to an end."

 “But…but…”

 “Don’t be sad, my friend. Just like in the past, ‘I’ will be reborn...”

 “But ‘you’ are not just ‘Xiang Shan’, you are also yourself!”

Xiang Shan nodded: "That's right, then do me a little favor."

 He pulled off his hood, scarf and cloak.

"This is the magnetic core fabric, and the content inside is a few magnetic links." Xiangshan said: "I have only thought about this a little bit in my life. It is a pity that it was lost. I didn't have time to verify the power, but even with 'Xiangshan'

From a personal perspective, it can be said that the concept is good. If it is polished in battle, it will be optimized to a stronger point."

  ——In this life...in the future...will...

These keywords once again made Zheng Lunnao feel the pain.
