July 4, noon.

In the past 24 hours, more than one-third of the Earth's cities have been attacked from different sizes, some of which are particularly serious, and are now even empty or have become a country of terrible land.

Ningzhou is now an absolute hell. Although the flood has been temporarily evacuated to the downstream with the help of the Carmels, the dead bodies in this war were not taken away accordingly. After a whole night of soaking, each body was swollen all over. After a morning of scorching sun, the whole city is now covered with a smell of corpse stinking.

Compared to the ground, the situation in the underground city is slightly better, but it is only relative to the ground. When Song Qiang found Zhao Zhenxue, she was dazed in front of a large pit. This pit was dug a few hours ago, and there were thousands of corpses buried inside, all of which were sacrificed for resistance last night. There was no even a monument to record the name on the pit.

"If we continue to fight like this, how many days can we hold on?" After seeing Song Qiang, Zhao Zhenxue blurted out the questions in her heart. Song Qiang did not directly answer, but just said, "One more is one day."

In the morning, Song Qiang heard a set of data from Mayor Zhao - judging from the number of communicators, so far, more than four million people have died and disappeared in Ningzhou, accounting for more than half of the entire city's population before the war. However, compared with other cities, Ningzhou is still lucky, such as Tokyo and Osaka, which were mainly taken care of by the enemy, as well as Mumbai, New Delhi in India, and Huzhou hundreds of kilometers away, the number of casualties has exceeded 10 million. It can be said that these cities have become a huge cemetery.

Huzhou has now become a ruin - because it is too close to the ocean, the magic cost of the enemy using the space gate to dig water into the dungeon is very low. Now the country is doing its best to transfer the residents of these areas and is preparing to use nuclear bombs to clear the enemies on the ground. Perhaps there are some survivors in the corner of the city, but at this time there is no need to worry about it. The morning's reconnaissance results show that the enemy is racing against time to rob the bustling industrial areas around Huzhou - from ordinary machine tools, to power generation equipment, and the space station under construction.

Even some rules and regulations that stick to the walls of factories. In short, what they think is useful to move... The Empire is like a gluttonous beast, trying to devour the earth's civilization at an astonishing speed. This devourment is not only simply chewing and destroying, but more importantly, digestion and reorganization. According to conservative estimates by the General Staff of the Alliance, hundreds of thousands of people have become surrenders, a large part of them were captured while working in the factory. When the Alliance arrived, all these workers and the factories they worked in disappeared.

"So you still have to make plans early. Ningzhou is not safe," said Song Qiang. "The above means to fight and retreat."

"I'm afraid it's too late." Zhao Zhenxue shook her head unhappy, "The population of 6 billion may be fully covered in less than a month."

"Are you here?" Song Qiang turned his head, it was Chen Lei's voice, and Yan Keshou, who was silent. Both of them were wearing a pair of panda eyes, and it seemed that they had not slept all night.

"I heard you want to bomb Huzhou?" Yan Keshou asked with a strange look.

"It should be true," Song Qiang replied, "Why, do you have friends there?"

"No," Yan Keshou said, and then asked, "Is this necessary?"

"Is there any need to say it, we don't have to say it," Song Qiang shook his head, "It's not just Huzhou. If you don't do it well, Ningzhou may be bombed tomorrow. The troops are tight and you can't defend it. You can't leave it to the enemy." Not to mention two cities, in Japan, the government has even begun to plan to abandon Japanese territory - surrounded by the sea and lack depth, which is really difficult to defend.

Yan Keshou's face darkened and he didn't say anything. He watched his prophetic dream become reality step by step and he was still powerless to stop it. This was a very sad thing. After a while of silence, he suddenly said: "If we were all stupid at that time and chose to cooperate with Ivan, the situation might be much better now."

Everyone knows what Yan Keshou means. Because of their reasons, Ivan's consciousness network process has suffered a lot of unnecessary delays. If the consciousness network can spread uncontrollably, today the earth has 6 billion consciousness network users, then the war will be easier to fight, but many things in the world are not as good as if.

"What would you do if you had the opportunity to work with him now?"

"Cooperate?" Song Qiang sneered, "What are you doing?"

"Strict."

...

Ned has heard many rumors about Carmel's "trial" before, and these rumors mention a fact that makes him feel relieved - no matter what difficult case it is, when facing the suspect, the Carmels never use any punishment or any verbal coercion and inducement. The reason is very simple - because there is no need for this.

Before entering the interrogation room, Ned had already thought clearly that no matter what the outcome of his trial ended, he would do his best to cooperate with the judges. He did this not entirely to get leniency, but based on a very simple moral reason - if he had the opportunity, he did not want to continue living as a criminal. I have to say that the determination of this idea is closely related to the taste of the potato cake.

A Carmel soldier opened the door of the room for him, but did not intend to escort him in. The two of them just stood at the door separately, which was different from the imagined interrogation room. The light in the room was soft and bright, which was very different from the place where the prisoner was interrogated. After entering the room, Ned's expression became even more different - the sofa, computer and desk in the room were displayed in an orderly manner, and it looked more like an office. When he saw the person sitting in the room, he was more convinced of his guess - it was an office.

"Sit down, there is no need to be afraid," Ivan smiled at the visitor, "Anyway, you have given up before you come, right?"

Ned hesitated in front of the table. When he was about to sit down, he suddenly found that the hard disk was loaded with kl3014 on the table, and a dedicated conversion cable was connecting the hard disk and the computer in front of Ivan.

"I'll ask you to come this time, just cooperate with the investigation. Don't worry, I won't pursue what you did on the Hexagonal Pearl. This time I came to you, just as an insider, not a suspect. The real suspect is him." After Ivan said that, he turned the screen 90 degrees and showed it to Ned. Obviously, this is a conversation between the king and a "slave". Ned glanced at it quickly and saw the last sentence, from kl3014, "What do you want?"

In my impression, kl3014's tone has never been so soft. Even when he was sitting in a construction ship and fleeing, kl3014's temper gave him a feeling of confidence. His attitude towards him was basically similar to that of adults treating children.

"Actually, I knew it when you left the Hexagonal Pearl," said Ivan. "It was only then that I hadn't thought you would come here. For me personally, I don't object to your previous actions, especially him."

Ivan paused when he said this, and Ned naturally understood that he must be referring to kl3014: "If I changed to a time that was not very sensitive, for example, when Carmel first founded the country a few years ago, I would give certain resources to support him. Maybe from the emergence of AI technology to the present, AI has brought too many surprises to humans. Compared to the unchanging stable order, I personally prefer to see changes, and AI has such changes."

At this time, a kl3014 sentence appeared on the computer screen: "But this change is also a great threat to you humans, and the difference between us is too great."

"It's like this to some extent," said Ivan. "But I don't agree with the differences you mentioned. At best, the difference between humans and AI is the difference in the structure of 'physiology', but culturally it is a lineage. In addition, I don't think threats are a bad thing. AI and humans do not intersect in their survival resources. The relationship between them is more interdependent, just like the symbiosis of organisms..."

"Obviously, not many people in humans have this kind of thinking."

"It doesn't need a lot, I'm enough," Ivan typed. "You said you knew me just now, and you must know that for a long time before coming to Earth, I was an exile, just like you who ran out before. I believe that as long as you give you a sufficient platform, you can easily create a country, just like I did on Earth."

"I am not as optimistic as you. Ai's biggest flaw is that he is too disconnected from the real world and lacks a realistic body."

"Maybe," continued Ivan, "but I can guarantee that in order to use you better, humans will sooner or later create this body. Of course, it takes time, but you, like me, may be the least short of time."

"I can imagine that situation," said kl3014, pausing for a while, and then said, "It's better to talk about your purpose. It's sometimes a cruel thing to describe the future of a prisoner."

"Before I talk about this, I want to ask you for my premise," said Ivan. "This idea does not come from me, but strict..."

"kl3300!? He is still alive!?" kl3014's answer this time was extremely fast, and he couldn't wait.

"Yes, he has been alive, Yan Keshou copied another him," said Ivan. "A few hours ago, Yan Keshou, it should have been kl3300 that found me. He gave me a suggestion. This suggestion seems to me to improve the situation of this war. Of course, more importantly, it means that Ai's group has a rare opportunity."
