Chapter 503
After Su Xing's conversation with this mechanical lifeform that claimed to be human, he didn't stop or return, but searched for the resistance camp according to the location given by A1 and the others, only slightly slowing down his speed.
"Beelzebub, do you think what he said is true?" Su Xing asked.
Beelzebub lay on Su Xing's waist, thinking and saying: "It's still unclear, because the effective information and effective evidence are not enough. But at least there is one more direction to explore... Besides the moon, we actually have one more direction to explore."
"... Pure and flawless place? Right?" Su Xing said.
Beelzebub said: "Right, currently there are two key areas. The first is the moon, where the android headquarters and the Human Council are located. If there are original androids, they are probably there. There is another one, which is the pure and flawless place. These two places are where one can peek into the truth of this world, and if one wants to find traces of the true civilization, these two places are also the most likely to appear clues, or be found directly."
Su Xing nodded, looking at a hidden village that had appeared in front, he stepped through the air and landed in the center of the village.
The entire village was silent. Neither human voices nor any human figures could be seen. Similarly, buildings collapsed, and there were traces of battle everywhere. Even the central network node in the camp was destroyed, but no android corpses or metal lifeform remains could be seen. Except for the traces of battle, both sides of the battle had disappeared strangely.
Su Xing stood where he was and stared at the surroundings for a long time. His martial arts intuition was stimulated to the extreme. Some kind of induction in the dark seemed to appear. Although he didn't see the real thing, in his field of vision, it seemed that a large number of human figures appeared. Their faces were unclear, only shadows existed. They held weapons and kept shooting, and also attempted to break out of the camp...
Su Xing slowly followed these shadows to walk in various places in the camp, occasionally squatting down to touch the single holes on the ground, or lifting a piece of collapsed building to find weapons pressed underneath.
During this process, there were only black shadows representing androids in Su Xing's perception, and on the other side was nothingness. There were no figures, just like androids fighting with air. And judging from the size of the targets they were shooting at, it wasn't the monster body of mechanical lifeforms, but more like some kind of life of the same size as them...
Su Xing walked around the camp. In his perception, the androids fighting the unknown targets couldn't get out of the camp at all. They were clearly rushing to the camp exit, but when they came to the camp exit, they would actually circle back themselves, returning to the camp. And at the edges of the camp, Su Xing found multiple footprints of sudden stops and circling in a circle.
Next, Su Xing told Beelzebub about the situation he perceived and investigated. Beelzebub pondered for a while and said: "What about the ending? What about the corpses and remains of the androids you saw fall?"
Su Xing shook his head and said: "I don't know either, because after they fell, their corpses and remains disappeared in an instant, and then I could no longer feel the traces of their existence. I don't know if I can only sense the figures of activity and battle, or if..."
"Something swallowed them in an instant?"
Beelzebub murmured: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that they were affected by some kind of electronic program. Although they look like humans, in essence, they are still androids, robots. All their thinking and behavior are based on electronic programs simulating humans. If there is a signal that can directly affect their electronic programs, then their strange behavior can be explained. For example, attacking empty places, while feeling as if they were attacked, are all illusions projected by electronic signals."
"However... the disappearance of the corpses and remains cannot be explained."
Beelzebub paused and said: "The mastermind behind the first possibility is the android unified information processing hub. That thing doesn't want you to contact them, nor does it want you to go to the moon, and this thing might be the biggest mastermind behind the scenes in this world."
"Then there is the second possibility... Evil Spirit!"
"Evil Spirit?" Su Xing repeated this word.
Beelzebub said affirmatively: "Right, Evil Spirit... Didn't that mechanical lifeform that claimed to be human mention it before? The result of the White Salt Plague, the flesh turns into salt pillars, the soul is manifested, and over time, the soul will be polluted by stray information in the surroundings, turning into monsters, evil spirits, curses, grudges, etc. And even in the pure and flawless place, the soul stripped of the flesh will be polluted very slowly. Only a very small number of souls can be spared, and most souls have become this kind of thing. Even the aliens were wiped out because they opened the pure and flawless place."
Su Xing asked in confusion: "But didn't that mechanical lifeform say? Evil spirits, monsters, these things have long disappeared in the long river of time. After more than 5,000 years of time, these things have already disappeared."
Beelzebub said: "No, compared to the androids and mechanical lifeforms of material bodies, things that come from the corruption and distortion of souls can last forever, and even approach immortality. Unless they are destroyed, it is almost impossible for them to disappear with time... So I think, if it is the second possibility, then those evil spirits and curses that destroyed the aliens did not disappear, but fell into a dormant state because there was no target. Until now, the target reappears, and they are reactivated."
Su Xing was a bit stunned and said: "What target?"
"You!"
Beelzebub said: "In the past 5,000 years of this world, there has only been one change, and that is that the whole world has intelligent life again... You know, since human extinction, when aliens opened the seal, this world actually didn't have any true intelligent life. Whether it's androids imitating humans or high-rank special mechanical lifeforms that think they are humans, they actually don't count as true intelligent life. Their behavior is just imitation through high-rank artificial intelligence. And from that time on, in 5,000 years, only one human, you, has been added!"
Su Xing went to several other resistance camps later. Sure enough, they were all attacked, the camp was damaged, the central network node was destroyed, but no corpses or remains of either side were found. All androids disappeared into thin air.
Next, Su Xing naturally stopped searching and returned to the abandoned camp where A1 and the other androids were at the fastest speed. After seeing that they were safe and sound, Su Xing also heaved a sigh of relief.
Next, Su Xing naturally told A1 and the others about the situation in the surrounding areas, and they all agreed that it was the mechanical lifeforms that knew of Su Xing's existence, so they began to mobilize forces to surround and attack him.
Because mechanical lifeforms fear Su Xing's strength as an ordinary human, they destroyed all channels for Su Xing to contact the android headquarters first. This is a sign of a large-scale attack by mechanical lifeforms. They must have surrounded the area, and they will launch a decisive battle-style attack on Su Xing as soon as the chaotic electromagnetic radiation waves pass.
A1 said excitedly: "Lord, I request you to leave this area immediately. With your speed, you can quickly break out of the encirclement. As long as you go to the resistance camp on a more distant continent, you will definitely be able to contact the headquarters. Only by going to outer space will your safety be guaranteed!"
Besides A1, other Ruoye unit members, including the leader of this resistance, the red-haired mature woman, also made the same suggestion.
But Su Xing shook his head and said: "No rush. I want to ask, do you know where the aliens landed when they first descended on Earth?"
The many androids looked at each other. They didn't know what Su Xing was asking this for, but as androids who obeyed humans and served humans constructed in their underlying programs, they still said the information they knew without hesitation.
The alien landing point was located in an island group area in the Pacific Ocean, and the initial mechanical lifeforms were marine mechanical structures. After thousands of years of evolution, they became what they are now.
Next, several people from the Ruoye unit used charcoal on the wall to simply describe the locations of various continents and islands on Earth. They were currently in the South American continent area, while the island area where the aliens landed was in the southern Pacific Ocean area, not far from Nanmeizhou, in the southern hemisphere of the Earth.
"... Easter Island?"
Su Xing confirmed the location of the alien landing on Earth with surprise. There was an island in this location. Perhaps he wasn't familiar with other islands, but he happened to know this island and happened to remember it.
An island with a mysterious color, full of giant stone statues. The reason Su Xing knew and remembered it was because of the many games, animations, and novels born because of its mysterious characteristics. He had even seriously checked the location and various situations of this island.
Yet unexpectedly, the alien landing point was actually Easter Island?
Su Xing pondered for a while and said: "Now, besides the central network node, is there any other way for us to quickly contact the android headquarters?"
The seven Ruoye unit members, as well as several resistance androids listening on the side, all began to think seriously. But after a long time, they all began to shake their heads one by one.
If there were no chaotic electromagnetic waves, besides the central network node, Ruoye unit members could even contact the general command individually, and there were many other ways to contact. But because of this electromagnetic wave interference, now, besides the central network node, all other contact methods were useless.
"Then..."
Su Xing looked at the map and thought: "We won't look for resistance camps anymore. From tomorrow, move forward at full speed, go to the seaside, and then find a way to go to this Easter Island..."
"That place... is probably the pure and flawless place!"
