Chapter 413 I Don’t Want to Act Anymore
Upon seeing the three people, Wei Ming's expression froze, and a storm of emotions surged within him.
"How can these people be so fast?"
"Weren't we just on the second basement level? How did we end up here in the blink of an eye?"
To be on the safe side, Wei Ming had laid a large number of ambushes and traps on each floor, especially at the stairwells, which were heavily guarded. According to her calculations, if Lin Xuan and the others wanted to reach the third basement level from the upper floor, they would definitely be surrounded by a large number of mechs, and they wouldn't be able to escape for at least half an hour.
However, she probably never imagined that Lin Xuan and the other two would not follow her pre-planned route at all, but instead used violence to blast a gap in the two-story structure and jump down from the upper floor.
Who's going to play those fancy tricks with you? Knowing there's an ambush ahead, why insist on taking the stairs? I'll just blow up the wall and appear from somewhere you'd never expect! How about that surprise you?
Just as Wei Ming was cursing inwardly, Lin Xuan and the other two also noticed the little girl in front of them who was a head shorter than Su Zilin.
"This guy... is a member of the Calamity Star? Boss, are we sure we're not mistaken?" Su Zilin looked Wei Ming up and down, unable to connect the weak figure in front of him with the legendary Calamity Star.
The reason is simple: Wei Ming looks far too young.
If Su Zilin was jokingly called a little loli, then this girl in front of us was a real loli, looking at most eight or nine years old. It was hard to believe that she was a cyber censor.
Wei Ming accurately captured the surprised expressions on the three people's faces. Her brain worked at lightning speed, and she instantly thought of a way to escape.
"who are you?"
She feigned fear, her voice trembling, as if she were just an unsuspecting passerby.
Her expression was half genuine and half fake. After all, as a cyber hacker, she really had no close combat skills and was genuinely afraid that these three would just kill her right there.
If they are simply taken back, there is still room for maneuver.
Once the network surveillance fleet arrives, the worst outcome will be negotiations. But if she dies here, her consciousness will most likely be directly fed into the main machine's core as nourishment.
After the physical bodies of humans on the mechanical Earth die, their consciousness is uploaded to the core of the machine for storage.
In theory, this is a form of immortality, similar to the cloning and regeneration technology of Gene Earth—one retains consciousness, the other retains the physical body. As long as network surveillance is willing, they can download Wei Ming's consciousness into new bodies an unlimited number of times.
However, this is not a small expense.
The physical bodies capable of housing such a powerful cyber hacker consciousness are extremely rare, and each one is very expensive.
Judging from Grogg's stingy nature, Wei Ming felt that expecting them to spend money to revive him was simply wishful thinking.
The cost is so high that they could easily train a new person.
Now, she can only rely on herself.
"Whether there's a mistake or not, it's obviously abnormal for a little girl to appear in this godforsaken place." The veteran stepped forward, grabbed Wei Ming, and carefully checked her hands for the badge mark of the network surveillance.
Unfortunately, the jinx belonged to a special department of cyber surveillance, and because Wei Ming frequently carried out decapitation missions behind enemy lines, her markings had long been erased. With the naked eye alone, no useful information could be found.
"Boss, nothing unusual has been found." The veteran put Wei Ming down, but his years of military experience did not make him lower his guard because of her seemingly weak appearance.
"Little girl, is there anyone else here besides you?" Su Zilin crouched down, bringing her eye level with Wei Ming's, and forced a kind smile. However, the scene looked more like a malicious older sister trying to abduct a lost little girl.
Wei Ming truly lived up to her reputation as one of the top internet monitors; despite inwardly raging with complaints, she maintained an innocent expression on her face.
"You mean those men in black? They...they headed in that direction." She casually pointed in the direction of an ambush point.
At the same time, she was already remotely controlling all the mechs in the underground facility to converge on this side. As long as they created some distance from these people, they would soon be surrounded by the mechs again.
Sure enough, her words immediately caught the veteran's attention.
“The man in black… Boss, I remember the uniforms of the cyber surveillance team are black. I’m afraid that jinx member is over there too.”
"Then what are we waiting for? Don't let them get away! These people are as cunning as eels. If they slip away again, who knows when we'll run into them again." Su Zilin said, getting up to leave.
But Lin Xuan raised her hand to stop her.
"Wait, take her with you." Lin Xuan pointed at Wei Ming.
Wei Ming was taken aback, inwardly cursing, "Why bring me along? You're chasing people, wouldn't I just be a burden?"
"Boss, isn't it inconvenient to bring her along?" Su Zilin asked with a frown, revealing Wei Ming's inner thoughts.
This thrilled Wei Ming so much that he couldn't help but nod repeatedly, inwardly screaming with excitement.
"Don't take me with you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded thoughtfully: "That's true, then let's just kill them."
“Right, let’s go after them first, then I’ll have Zuo Xiao come down and take over here, and this little girl will be handed over to… what?” Su Zilin stopped mid-sentence, looking at Lin Xuan with disbelief.
"Is there a problem? Since you can't confirm her identity, isn't killing her the most reasonable course of action?" Lin Xuan asked calmly, as nanobots materialized in her hand.
Su Zilin remained silent.
Although Lin Xuan's logic was impeccable, it was hard to imagine her actually harming such a young child.
Seemingly sensing Su Zilin's hesitation, Lin Xuan shook her head helplessly, took out a piece of candy and a dagger from her pocket, and held them in her hands respectively.
"Let's do this, let her choose her own destiny."
Wei Ming's eyes lit up, thinking she finally had a chance to live. However, Lin Xuan's next words left her speechless.
"If she chooses a knife, it means she intends to kill; this child must not be allowed to live!"
"If she chooses candy, it means she is extremely cunning; this child must not be allowed to live!"
"If she chooses neither, it means she's inherently rebellious; this child must not be allowed to live!"
"If she chooses both, it means she has deep desires; this child must not be kept!"
Wei Ming: "..."
"If you want to kill me, just say so. You're not going to pretend anymore, are you?"
