    Chapter 160 Farewell┃My name is Qin Jiu, and I come to find my truth.

    The fighting power of four thousand men is unparalleled, and they advance much faster than three years ago.

    The time of the main control center is the same as that of the examination room.

    At 4:15 in the morning, in just ten minutes, the core protection layer was breached, and the main control center began to suffer substantial damage.

    But this is just the beginning.

    Before everyone could cheer, they heard the system’s rigid voice echoing through the night.

    [The main control center detects substantial danger, the attack and defense programs are automatically activated, and 1,500 firepower points are in place.】

    At that moment, the fire was overwhelming.

    More than four thousand people were almost stunned.

    Before this, they had no idea about the level of force and equipment in the system.When talking about the horror of the system, we will always think of exams and punishments.This is the first time they have faced a direct fire attack from the system.

    Fortunately, You Huo and Qin Jiu had experience.

    He We have a great tacit understanding, and we have already divided the work without even needing to say a word——

    Qin Zhu led a large force to surround the building. They accurately moved in the fire blind spot and attacked important positions in the main control center from various tricky angles.

    Youhuo brought 922 and a team of proctors and wedged themselves into the building.

    While blasting the command area, Gao Qi shouted amidst the sound of artillery fire: “Hey, isn’t this firepower too dense?! 001——”

    “Say.” Qin Jiu’s voice came from the front. He threw away a scrapped cannon barrel and tilted his head to put a new one on his shoulder.

    Gao Qi shouted until his face turned red and his neck thickened: “Shouldn’t we blow up some of the firepower points first?!”

    “Not yet.”

    “When will it be? Will we all be cold?!”

    Qin Jiu laughed.

    While Gao Qi was blasting the target like crazy, he shouted to Zhao Jiatong behind him: “Fuck! That lunatic is still laughing!”

    Zhao Jiatong couldn’t help but remind him: “This should be decided by he and A together, right?”

    Gao Qi stopped protecting his friends and shouted: “Two lunatics!”

    Although he cursed like this, his actions were still very cooperative.After all, Qin Zhu and Youhuo have been here before, and he believes that these two will not get into trouble here again.

    At 4:32, the damage to the main control center exceeded 20%, the attack and defense programs were upgraded to level 2, and the firepower points were increased to 3,000.

    Gao Qi is going crazy.

    At 4:55, the damage exceeded 40%, the attack and defense programs were upgraded to level 3, and the firepower points were increased to 4,500.

    Everyone outside the building is going crazy.

    The blind area for attacks is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, they will not be able to even stretch out their hands to fight back.What’s even more frightening is that their weapons and ammunition are about to run out.

    At this time, Qin Jiu actually asked everyone to stop firing.

    “001——” Gao Qi started shouting again, this time he was really anxious.

    Qin Jiu pointed to the top of his head before he could ask why.

    Gao Qi squinted and struggled to see through the firelight where he was pointing, which was a row of firepower points that were attacking continuously.

    The moment he looked over, the row of firepower points suddenly changed direction.

    Gao Qi subconsciously rolled to the side to dodge, but he paused just as he was about to move.Because he found that the direction of the row of firepower points was very strange…

    he was stunned for two seconds and suddenly realized.

    At this moment, he finally understood why Qin Jiu had been reluctant to destroy the firepower point, and why You Huo led 922 he and them into the building at the first time.

    Because the group of people who entered forcibly changed the aiming direction of the firepower point in order to let the system hit itself.

    The next moment, 30% of the firepower points in the main control center were artificially modified, the muzzle was temporarily turned, and the remaining 70% of the firepower points were blasted with all their strength.

    At that moment, the explosion sounded loudly, and the people outside the building had already found bunkers under Qin Jiu’s instructions.

    Gao Qi squeezed behind Qin Zui along the bunker, patted he on the shoulder, gave a thumbs up and said, “Thank you for coming up with this idea, I admire him.”

    “I was forced to have no choice but to let the weapons run out.” Qin Zhu said.

    Evacuating all the weapons depot in the second resting place was enough to last until the end.Otherwise they wouldn’t have acted like this three years ago.But this time the system was clever and added an examination room outside the main control center, which was destined to consume some ammunition.

    In this way, with their weapon reserves alone, 60% is the limit.

    The system has calculated this accurately, so it has nothing to fear.

    What it didn’t expect was that even if they didn’t have enough weapons, this group of people would still come in without hesitation.

    Because once you take this path, you can’t look back.

    At 5:11, the main control center was damaged to 60%, the attack and defense system was upgraded to level 4, and the number of firepower points reached 6,000.

    This is a death level, equivalent to a patrol crusher, which can make everyone present disappear completely.

    However, under the strong twist of You Huo and others, 6,000 firepower points attacked each other, causing 4,821 of them to be scrapped on the spot and no longer usable.

    This way the attack level is even lower than initially.

    Gao Qi and the others immediately became energetic. They waited for Qin Jiu’s order, picked up their weapons, and started a new round of bombing.

    The team of more than 3,000 people was like a steel roller, crushing toward the center with unstoppable force.

    At 5:20, the main control center was 80% damaged, with 721 fire points remaining.

    Inside the building, the 922 hes gave them a heavy slap, and their mission had been completed.They picked up their sidearms, bowed their bodies and ran straight out the door.

    Youhuo walked at the end, buckled on his unilateral goggles, lowered his head and tightened his tactical gloves.

    He and Qin Zhu understand this process. When the main control center is damaged to 80%, the main control will be turned to semi-automatic and handed over to the so-called “S Group”.

    Three years ago, they failed to reach this stage.

    Three years later, they have nothing to fear.

    There is only 20% left. They have enough firepower and manpower. They also have 154 and Chu Yue waiting outside to respond, so they can deal with any changes.

    But at this moment, like a feeling from somewhere, You Huo stopped for a moment and looked back.

    He suddenly became a little curious as to what program the “S Group” that could take over the control was.

    After this pause, he could no longer take another step.

    Because three figures quietly appeared next to the main console. They were wearing white coats and thin rubber gloves, and they were skillfully operating beside the main console.

    One of them pressed the button, and a white light screen surrounded the main console, like a curtain. Youhuo and the three of them were surrounded by the “curtain”.

    Youhuo stretched out his hand and tried it. As expected, the moment it came into contact with the “curtain”, the front end of the tactical gloves was damaged, as if a piece had been cut off.

    This is a circle of defense.

    But what really stopped Youhuo was not this, but those people who suddenly appeared, or more accurately, one of them.

    She was a tall and thin woman, and her face was always sickly pale. Even so, she was still very beautiful.

    Not gorgeous, but sharp and coldly beautiful.

    She has eyes similar to Youhuo’s. When she looks at people, she always has an indifferent light, and it seems that she will never become enthusiastic.

    At this moment, she turned around and looked at Youhuo with those eyes.

    She was looking at it as if she were really alive.

    You Huo was nailed to the spot.

    The moment he met her eyes, his heart beat heavily and his blood surged in his veins.The more this happens, the colder and whiter his face becomes.

    He never thought that one day he would see the person who gave birth to him again in such a scene.

    For eleven years, they lived together, but were no closer than outsiders.So, what kind of dialogue will happen between them after seeing each other for a longer period of time?

    You have grown up.

    Do you still recognize me?

    How have you been these past few years?

    What would a normal mother and child say when they meet?Youhuo was very unfamiliar with this, but he thought, it was nothing more than these.

    The woman next to the main console scanned around, her eyes fell on the metal barrel carried by You Huo, and finally spoke her first words.

    She said: “Son, are you going to destroy this place?”

    Youhuo suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

    The heart and blood suddenly cooled down at this moment, and he finally calmed down.

    he thought there would at least be an opening, a greeting or something.But when he thought about it, he realized that this was indeed his mother’s style. He would rationally arrange things in order of importance, and then go straight to the topic without a single extra word.

    He looked at the other party and asked after a while: “Can’t this place be destroyed?”

    “It’s not that I can’t, it’s just that it’s a pity.”

    The woman’s eyes are also light brown, and she speaks in a slow and even voice.Such a person seems to be naturally persuasive, as if what she says is the most rational.

    “This system has invested the efforts of many people, both living and deceased like us. Many years have been spent on it, manpower, material resources, and the most advanced technology. If it is destroyed, it will be in vain.” She paused and added: “You may think that I exist with the help of the system, and I am afraid of disappearing so I say such things. In fact, no, even those outside, those who have been fighting against the system will feel distressed and regretful if they know that the system has been completely destroyed. Do you believe it? If you can,They may be more inclined to shut down than to destroy.”

    Youhuo tilted his head behind him and said, “Whether this is true or not, you first go and ask the more than 4,000 people outside if they think it’s a pity. Or ask those people who are still fighting for their lives in the examination room, if they feel sad and pity if this place is destroyed. There is also a group of people who should actually ask the most, but they are already dead and died in various examination rooms. Why don’t you try to communicate? After the communication, tell me whether this place should be destroyed.”

    The woman didn’t speak for a long time. She just looked at Youhuo quietly, wondering if she had no words to refute or what.

    After a while, she said: “Son, you are angry.”

    “You were rarely this angry when you were a child, and you rarely spoke for such a long time.” She seemed to be recalling, and there was actually a trace of gentleness in her tone.

    Youhuo straightened his lips and looked at her coldly, but did not interrupt immediately.

    “Are you this tall at that time?” She gestured at her waist. “You were very young. Sometimes I think life is quite magical. Such a child is my son. You are quiet and don’t like to talk. You don’t ask stupid and childish questions like other children. You don’t mess around and don’t have too intense emotions. I have imagined what you will be like when you grow up. I don’t think you will have the problems of other adults.”

    “Many people spend their entire lives trapped in various worldly traps. It’s just things like hunger and fullness. There are also some very nihilistic things, like love, hate and lust… These always make people irrational, emotionally obvious, and sometimes even ugly. I thought at that time, you will definitely not be like this when you grow up.”

    She looked at You Huo again and said, “You look pretty much what I imagined. I’m very——”

    Youhuo finally interrupted her: “You have a bit of a misunderstanding.”

    “What?” The woman was stunned.

    You Huo said indifferently: “Love, hate, lust…I have all the things you mentioned, and they are much different from what you imagined.”

    The other party fell silent, with a sick look on her face that made her look unreasonable.She pulled away from the memories and asked calmly: “What influenced you? Are there certain things and people you have met here over the years?”

    Youhuo said nothing, maybe because he was too lazy to say anything.But she knew she was right.

    “But…it’s ridiculous, isn’t it? None of this is true.”

    Youhuo frowned: “What do you mean?”

    She said: “The design principle of this system is to construct a world through magnetic fields and brain waves. Of course, your every move still affects the brain, and the nerves used are almost the same, so the purpose of screening and training can be completely achieved, but this is not true. I have been here for a long time, and although I am not as ubiquitous as the system, I also know a lot of things. Even if the system later went out of control and so many candidates were accidentally pulled in, this was still the case. The real heThey may be lying in a hospital bed somewhere, in shock, coma or something else, not dead.”

    “What you have seen, what you have experienced, the people you have known, the things you have done… are just shadows cast by the brain in the system. Why should you fall into the secular world and be angry about these shadows? Can these be considered real?” she said, “They are all fake.”

    The space surrounded by the “curtain” fell into a dead silence. She looked at You Huo’s face, as if trying to sense his emotions.But unfortunately, she failed and could only rely on guessing.

    She said: “It’s hard to accept, isn’t it?”

    Youhuo shook his head and said, “I was just thinking that your definition of reality may be different.”

    She asked: “Why is it different?”

    Youhuo said calmly: “I know I have experienced this, this is the truth.”

    After saying that, he lowered his eyes, adjusted the weapon’s bolt valve neatly, and then calmly raised the barrel.

    “I know that you passed away more than ten years ago. I knelt throughout the funeral. You are just an afterimage left in the system. In this place now, you are the shadows, and I am the reality. There are people waiting for me outside, and he is also real.”

    Youhuo raised his eyes, and across the cold and monotonous metal platform, a few steps away, and more than ten years of time, he said to the person with a similar face to he: “It happened so long ago when I was a child. I can’t even remember what I did and said on the day you died. Just treat this meeting as an opportunity, and I will say goodbye to you seriously.”

    “You may not be interested in knowing, but I’ll tell you anyway. Your brother is doing well, and so am I. We have a pretty good relationship.”

    At one very rare moment, You Huo thought about what he would say to her if he could go back more than ten years ago and see his mother again.

    He thought he would ask for a reason, why she did those things, why she occupied his eyes, and whether she felt regretful for a moment.

    But the moment he actually saw it, he found that he was much calmer than he thought, and he didn’t stick to these things.

    She gave birth to he and raised him, but she didn’t like him very much.

    This fact is actually not that hard to accept.

    “That’s it.” Youhuo said.

    The damage degree of the main control center has reached 98%, and the end is only five minutes away.

    He narrowed his eyes and pointed the muzzle at the main console.

    At that second, the sound of explosion suddenly sounded, and a series of gunfire flew from somewhere behind, all landing on the place where You Huo was aiming.

    The “curtain” made a sizzling sound, flashed a few times, and then disappeared.

    Youhuo turned his head and saw Qin Jiu unloading the cannon barrel from his shoulder and walking up the steps carrying the long tube.

    The woman at the main console subconsciously asked: “Who are you?”

    Qin Jiu put his hand on You Huo’s shoulder and said to the disappearing shadow: “Sorry, I came a little early and heard some of your conversations. My name is Qin Jiu, and I’m here to find my truth.”

    The moment the words fell, the entire main control center began to collapse.
