Chapter 442

He didn't get a response.

However, on the terminal screen, Alexandra. aic was running, and the program didn't report any errors.

Agent Keller suddenly had an ominous premonition... could it be that what was running in the host was just an empty shell?

But he subconsciously put this possibility in the last position, turning instead to check for peripheral and hardware problems.

The black microphone was covered in a thin layer of dust.

Could it be that this microphone had a problem?

Then, he blew the floating dust off the top and patted the microphone by the way.

Inside the office, a roar suddenly erupted, like a close-range explosion, as if an engine had suddenly exploded.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Hello? Hello?? Hello??? Alexandra, this is Keller, can you hear me?"

Still no response.

"Try text interaction."

Under Captain Luo Yi's suggestion, Agent Keller switched to manual input mode.

【Keller: Alexandra, this is Keller, are you there?】

No reply appeared on the screen for a long time.

Alexandra had inexplicably run into trouble.

Agent Keller shook his head, regrettably:

"No use, not just Alexandra, but Thorn too, they aren't talking anymore."

Saying this, Keller didn't forget to continue communicating with Alexandra, trying to wake it up with words containing a high amount of "horse" content, even using a large number of N-words.

However, in the eyes of many races in the universe, these words had no aggressiveness at all, just like doing a conversation exercise.

"This agent is so polite, honorifics one after another; even the nobles in our kingdom who are most particular about embellishment probably couldn't write such elegant sentences."

"Actually asking an AI if there is such an animal as a horse in its home; I didn't expect the Foundation to have included human-machine equality in the agenda before entering the sea of stars, truly a great civilization."

——This statement comes from the Machine Civilization.

"... Are these people serious?"

Herta looked at the barrage floating on the screen, one question mark after another popping out from the top of her head, falling in front of her, and being bounced to the side.

"Saying dirty words can indeed help relieve stress... uh, am I really watching the same Foundation program as these guys?"

"It's just that..."

Herta's expression was slightly serious.

"At first, my understanding of the Foundation's files had a deviation..."

"Hmm, everything considered to have 'living' characteristics—animals, plants, microorganisms, computer programs, AI—are all dead..."

"Ancient simple machines, computers that exist only as tools, have not been included in this category."

This must be some kind of anomaly, or even some kind of terrifying existence no weaker than divinity, rather than the universe suddenly awakening self-awareness and deciding to eliminate humanity.

Makes sense, if it were really such a situation, it might still exist in this world...

However, this thought also has problems:

"Since other life in this world is dead, these agents should have followed in their footsteps the moment they entered here."

"Why is that..."

Herta blinked her eyes, her purple pupils reflecting the luster of gems.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, and even her pupils trembled violently.

"Like this, right, like this..."

"No way..."

"Then that's strange."

Captain Luo Yi narrowed his eyes imperceptibly:

"Since the lockdown of Site-81 has been lifted, can other sites be opened here?"

"Some site protocols allow staff on duty to lift the lockdown. Of course, we can also find the O5 to unlock them."

"Then do you know where the O5 are?" Captain Luo Yi regretted asking this question as soon as he said it.

Perhaps there are agents in the Foundation who know the location of the O5 Council, but that doesn't include them.

As expected, he heard Keller's answer:

"Don't know, do you?"

"No." Captain Luo Yi said concisely.

Keller raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders.

Captain Luo Yi looked at Keller, who had started working again, and suddenly thought of a question:

"How are the others doing?"

He had just thought of it when he heard the report.

"Hey Boss, we... we are, uh—"

It looked like they were in a place they didn't want him to know... and there was only one such place...

Captain Luo Yi calmed his mood as much as possible:

"Where are you?"

"Weapons laboratory."

"Oh."

"We're collecting samples now, then locking up the—"

"No, I want to see it myself. I'll be there immediately."

Captain Luo Yi hung up the communication, walked two steps in the office, patted Keller on the shoulder, and pointed to the door:

"Come with me to the weapons laboratory."

"Alright." Keller put away the terminal, intending to see the captain of this world, and by the way, preview the funeral viewing process.

——Including his own.

The agents, led by the captain, quickly arrived at the weapons laboratory and saw the two agents guarding the door.

The two agents blocked the door, with no intention of giving way:

"Boss, we—"

Captain Luo Yi raised his hand, signaling him to shut up:

"——That corpse isn't me, I am me. Do you think I would be afraid of what happens inside an anomaly?"

· ·Ask for flowers··· 0

"We've seen enough of this kind of crazy shit, seeing one's own corpse is nothing."

Without further negotiation, the agents instantly chose to yield.

The two gave way:

"Listening to you, Boss."

This weapons laboratory was the same as the one in his memory, weapon racks, workbenches, as well as design rooms, processing rooms, shooting ranges...

The color tone was simple and very capable.

Only.

Near the workbench, two agents were lying down; in front of the shooting range door, a doctor wearing a white coat was sleeping.

Their appearance was intact, no decay, not even any smell, just like all the deceased encountered so far.

They were pure dried corpses.

Captain Luo Yi looked at these incredibly familiar appearances with no expression.

If it were someone with poor psychological quality, they would probably feel lost, or even infinitely sad.

Finding that his subordinates were trying to recover their badges, Captain Luo Yi sighed immediately and quickly stopped them:

"Leave them here, they are people of this world, they don't need us to mourn for them."

After speaking.

His gaze turned to Olman, his eyes firm, unquestionable, and unrefutable.

"Where is it?"

Olman, whose physique was a full circle larger than his boss, saw the captain's highly aggressive gaze piercing straight at him, intending to hold out for a while: ===== CHAPTER 444 =====
