1224、Under the Abyss(1/2)
“Are you ready?”
After dinner, Luo Lan stood up and took a deep breath and asked.
He looked around, Zhou Qi, Qing Laosan, Xu Man and others all stood up silently: "It's ready."
A total of 184 people, including 180 special forces soldiers, came to the Central Plains and are about to enter Barrier No. 61, and success or failure is here.
The Qianling River bridge stands on the turbulent river. One end of the bridge and the other end of the bridge are like connecting two different worlds.
Life and death.
They knew that Luo Lan asked if she was ready, not asking them if they were full.
Instead, they were asking, have they thought about the consequences they would bear after crossing this bridge?
Zhou Qi asked: "I just want to know, after the plan is completed, will it be better to get Wang's family? If you ask me to take this risk, you have to tell me if it is worth it, right?"
In the documents Zhou Qi and the others received, there was only such a lonely action plan, without anything to follow.
It’s like you are an actor in a stage play, but you only get your own script, with only your own plot and lines on it. When you finish acting, then your role will end here.
You don’t know what others will do and what will happen in the future.
Luo Lan looked at Zhou Qi and said seriously: "I won't tell you other plans to prevent you from being controlled by artificial intelligence, and then Wang learned the details of the overall plan. Don't worry, not only you don't know, Xu Man doesn't know, Qing Lao San doesn't know, and I don't know the same, and all the people who may lead to the leakage of the plan have no right to know the overall plan."
In other words, when the plan was formulated, Qingzhen had already assumed that the people in this operation would be captured or died.
Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows: "Okay, even if you don't know, then I'll be mentally balanced. I'll tell you, Fatty Luo, don't lie to me, this plan is best worth the risk of so many of us."
"But I'll say one thing at the end," Luo Lan explained with a solemn expression: "No matter who is in danger of being captured, don't force resistance. Suicide is our best choice. We can't let artificial intelligence control us to face Qingzhen, do you understand?"
It is hard for Luo Lan to imagine how painful it would be if Qingzhen wanted to be an enemy of her controlled self.
So if that happens, you can bear the pain yourself.
Xu Man said: "I have made a detailed retreat plan, and that won't happen."
"It's better," Zhou Qi curled his lips.
However, at this moment, a black shadow door suddenly opened not far from the camp where Luo Lan and the others were.
Luo Lan's eyes lit up when she saw this scene, because he had seen the Shadow Gate next to Ren Xiaosu too many times!
However, this shadow door seems to be bigger than Ren Xiaosu's.
The next moment, Luo Xinyu, who was slender, walked out of the door, her face full of fatigue.
"Hey, why are you here?" Luo Lan said curiously.
When the Qing family's secret nuclear weapons military base was destroyed earlier, Luo Xinyu was captured alive by the Qing family.
Originally, Luo Lan thought the other party should be imprisoned by Qingzhen somewhere, but she didn't expect to see the other party here.
I saw a strange metal circle hanging around Luo Xinyu's waist, which showed the countdown and an electronic password lock.
Luo Xinyu said with a pale face: "Don't unlock this time bomb for me, and I'll tell you the news that Qingzhen wants me to bring."
Luo Lan was happy. It turned out that this guy was forced to deliver a letter by Qingzhen.
Judging from the other party's expression, he should have overdrawn his abilities along the way, and he was about to run out of energy.
But Luo Lan had no idea of pitying the beauty. He took a happy look at the countdown on the metal circle, with 1 hour and 31 minutes left.
Luo Lan smiled and said, "Tell me the news first and I will untie it for you. My Luo Lan's reputation should be guaranteed and I will not lie to you."
Luo Xinyu hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a small note from her pocket and handed it to Luo Lan.
Luo Lan was delighted after unfolding the note, which read: Ren Xiaosu has set out to the Central Plains, and he should be ambushed and blocked by artificial intelligence on the way, so it is expected to arrive in three days.
Below the note, there is a small string of numbers.
He handed the note to Xu Man: "Check the handwriting and numbers."
The number is not about transmitting any information, but about the encryption method to transmit information, so as to ensure that Luo Xinyu did not drop the note.
After humans experienced countless wars, intelligence transmission has become a systematic discipline.
Every number and every stroke may become a mark for identifying authenticity.
Two minutes later, Xu Man nodded to Luo Lan: "No problem, the information is true."
Zhou Qi laughed: "At last, there is good news. Once Ren Xiaosu comes, our lives are guaranteed to be safe."
As a result, Zhou Qi suddenly realized that Luo Lan didn't seem very happy: "What's your expression? Are you always looking forward to Ren Xiaosu to protect you? Why do you look a little unhappy this time?"
Luo Lan said calmly: "You know what we are doing here. Before I set off, I didn't ask Ren Xiaosu to tell him, just because I didn't want him to come and take risks with us."
"I haven't seen you think so before," Zhou Qi wondered.
"This time is different," Luo Lan said: "This time is more dangerous than ever."
"You really value friendship," Zhou Qi said disdainfully.
"Unlock it to me," Luo Xinyu said coldly.
"But I don't know what the password is, why don't I give it to you?" Luo Lan laughed.
Luo Xinyu's face immediately changed: "You don't know the password? This is how you, Qing, do things. You can tease others' lives at will. Qingzhen said that this password lock only has three chances of trial and error. Do you know the password?"
Luo Lan walked up to Luo Xinyu and said, "Don't panic. Although Qingzhen has not told me the password, since he asked you to come to me, he must think that I can try it right. My brother is not a killer who can't blink."
Luo Xinyu pursed her lips and said nothing, and just watched Luo Lan quietly enter 123456 on the metal bomb belt. With a click, the buckle of the belt was unbuttoned.
"Look, the password is that simple, it will be successful in one go," Luo Lan said with a smile.
At this moment, she felt a little broken inside. It turned out to be such a simple password?
Luo Lan laughed and said, "Actually, there is no limit on the number of failures in this password lock. You can unlock it if you try it a few more times. Qingzhen scares you. But I want to remind you that after removing the bomb on your body, don't go to Wang's family, go wherever you want, and don't get involved in these right and wrong again. Yang Xiaojin is at the barrier No. 144, you can go to her."
Luo Xinyu rolled her eyes: "You don't have to worry about this."
As she said that, she turned around and went into the Shadow Gate and disappeared, as if she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"What do you say now? We are waiting for Ren Xiaosu to meet up here?" Zhou Qi asked.
"This is of course the best solution," Luo Lan looked across the bridge and said, "But Wang will not wait for us."
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone saw a convoy driving out from the gate of Barrier No. 61 on the other side of the bridge, and it seemed that they were coming to welcome Luo Lan and the others.
"It's a blessing or not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Let's go," Luo Lan laughed and got into the car.
A long off-road convoy drove all the way across the Qianling River Bridge.
After they all crossed the bridge, Luo Lan suddenly stopped the convoy. He thought for a while, and then took out the red true vision eye that Ren Xiaosu gave him from his pocket.
Xu Man and others looked at it silently, and Luo Lan found a wide bridge pillar before the Wang Convoy arrived, pressed the red true vision eye on it and twisted it ten times.
Then he turned to Xu Man and said, "This is the life-saving talisman that Ren Xiaosu gave me. It is said that behind this door is the place I want to go the most. If your retreat plan does not work, we will leave here. Zhou Qi, remember, we will meet here by then. If the time comes and you don't arrive, we will not wait for you."
According to Luo Lan, Zhou Qi seemed to be going separately from them next.
Zhou Qi curled his lips: "Don't worry, I didn't expect you to sacrifice your life to wait for me. But if you don't go in and see where is behind the door, aren't you curious?"
Luo Lan smiled and said, "I don't want to watch it anymore. I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to go to Barrier No. 61."
In fact, Luo Lan could probably guess where it was behind this door, but he couldn't go and see it.
People should look forward because they always look back at those beautiful pasts, and they may be reluctant to move forward.
Let's leave everything in the past.
After saying that, Luo Lan got back on the bus without looking back, and drove towards Wang's convoy.
When the two convoys merged, the Wang team suddenly divided into two groups, one of which opened the way in front of the convoy, while the other was directly at the end of the Qing team, just like escorting Luo Lan and others.
This set of operations is like a sophisticated machine.
Zhou Qi looked through the car window: "Is this treating us as prisoners?!"
"Don't say so much when you get to someone else's territory," Luo Lan smiled: "Aren't these all expected things?
At this time, the car-mounted intercoms of both sides had already met their respective channels. The voice of Wang's receptionist came from the intercom: "Boss Luo, don't be fine. I am Wang Run of Wang, and I will be welcomed by you this time."
Zhou Qi picked up the car walkie-talkie and said sarcastically: "The reception specifications of Wang's family are quite high."
Wang Run replied: "After all, it is the first time the Lord of the Qing clan has come to Wang to be a guest. We are just in case that people with bad intentions destroy the friendship between Wang and Qing clan."
Zhou Qi hung up the walkie-talkie and muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid we'll run away. Everyone, what should we do now?"
At this time, Zhou Qi, Xu Man, Qing Lao San and Luo Lan were sitting in the same car, while Xu Man acted as a driver.
However, before they could speak, Wang Run's voice suddenly came out of the intercom: "Everyone, we will go directly to the Wang Artificial Intelligence Building to visit. Chief Wang Shengzhi is already waiting for you there, and the meeting will begin today."
Luo Lan and others were all stunned. Why did they go directly to see Wang Shengzhi? This does not conform to the procedure.
Generally speaking, Wang should ask them to settle down at the arranged residence first. After all, with such a high-standard meeting, the journey from the southwest is far away. It is so exhausting that how could he talk about the serious matter without having to rest?
No matter from any perspective, this is not in line with etiquette.
Zhou Qi confirmed that the microphone of the walkie-talkie was turned off, and then lowered his voice and said to Luo Lan: "This is completely different from what we planned! We should wait until Ren Xiaosu comes before entering the artificial intelligence building!"
Xu Man also said: "No, we cannot enter the artificial intelligence building now, and we have to wait for Ren Xiaosu to arrive at Wang's family."
Entering the building where artificial intelligence is located is the first step in their plan. Logically speaking, they should be happy.
