Chapter 1144 A World Without Games (Part 7)

Everyone continued moving forward according to Isaac's plan and soon entered the sewer.

In this world ruled by Pita, the city's sewers are relatively clean, because AI attaches great importance to the protection of water resources, so the filtration process has already begun the moment daily water enters the sewer pipes.

This filtration system is very detailed. For example...the water discharged from the kitchen and the water discharged from the toilet do not flow into the same set of pipes, let alone filtered by the same mechanism; and the water flowing out of the toilet ...Depending on the outlet (bathtub, sink, toilet), the pipes and filtration systems it enters are also different.

In this way, it can be ensured that all the water that eventually flows into the sewer has reached a certain clean standard; then, this water will be concentrated and discharged into the rivers, lakes and seas that connect the ecosystem.

It is precisely for this reason that Feng Bujue and the others were prevented from getting the smell of feces and urine...

"The environment in this sewer is pretty good..." Brother Jue was still mumbling something while wading in the water, "We're almost at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' home."

What he said was actually a complaint - Feng Bujue always felt that if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lived in a "real" sewer, then these guys should be covered in stench every time they appeared on the stage, and their bodies would be more or less There will still be some shit on it.

"Hahaha..." Two seconds later, One-Eyed Dragon heard the meaning of Brother Jue's words and responded with a smile, "Although my memory is not as good as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animation, I do understand what you said."

"Oh?" Feng Bujue continued, "Your engineers can restore all games and consoles up to PS, but they can't restore an animation from 1987?"

"Because making animations and making games are two different things..." At this time, Isaac took over the conversation and said, "With our technical level, an experienced engineer can restore the animation within a day. For a game on the Atari platform, a team can restore nearly ten games on the FC platform within a week; for games on MD, GB, SS, PS and other platforms, the restoration time will depend on the complexity of the game and platform. There is an increase, but... overall the cycle will not last too long.”

He paused for two seconds and then said: "But... animation is another matter. The production cycle of animation will not be shortened too much because of our progress in engineering technology, whether it is the animation of 1987 or the animation of 2020. Animation in the eleventh century has to be done step by step starting from the original painting. There are no shortcuts from shooting to post-production dubbing... Take the 1987 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you mentioned as an example. In another timeline... that animation There are 193 episodes, and it has been serialized for nine years; and our 'game war' has only been fought for nine years in total." He turned his head and showed a helpless expression, "Even if we want to restore it, we can't. There are no such resources.”

"Well..." Feng Bujue nodded after hearing this, "That's true..."

"Besides..." Isaac didn't finish his words, he continued, "In addition to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there are many other excellent animations, right? "C.L.Y.D.E", "Detective Gadget", " "Batman" (1992 animated version), "Nightwalker" (about this work, I think it is necessary to mention - "Gargoyles" can be said to be Disney's positive response to Ava and Ana. At that time, Disney was forced to jump over the wall by the animated version of Batman, so they quickly prepared such a dark animation that was very different from their previous style, but similar to Batman's style. It turned out that... a lot of success was due to force. came out; it was under this background that Disney made such a classic breakthrough) etc., etc., in addition, there are also those classic movies and TV series that should have appeared... If we want to restore all of these It will take many years of hard work to get out...but until the war is won, all this will be empty talk.”

When Feng Bujue heard this, he sighed with emotion: "It sounds like you all have a long way to go..."

"Haha... you are thinking too much." At this time, the bearded man continued with a smile, "We people are relatively relaxed. Those 'restoration projects' are probably our next generation, or even the next generation. What we have done; we... hehe... we just need to think about how to kill those robots in our lifetime."

…………

Although wading through the water was much more tiring than walking, the few people chatted and forgot about that fatigue.

Unknowingly, they had walked nearly a kilometer and arrived at the end of this sewer journey - the entrance of a metal pipe.

This kind of "engineering pipeline" can be seen everywhere in cities' underground and above-ground buildings. It is mainly used by "maintenance robots", so it is also called "maintenance pipeline".

Basically, Pita will add this kind of pipeline when planning and building any facility. Starting from the idea of ​​​​an AI, this is also a logical thing...because when any hardware fails, even if this happens within decades It only happens once, so be fully prepared for that time.

But at that time, Pita could not have imagined that these pipelines would become free fortifications for the resistance after the war broke out; in the second year of the war, the rebels instigated an attack through the tunnels that Pita called the "Gameboy Plague." You can figure out the specific content of the big event... Anyway, after that, Pita changed his 'arrest policy' and started killing people...

"By the way...isn't this pipe a bit too narrow?" Feng Bujue stood at the mouth of the pipe. Before he could get in, he already felt that the size was not right.

"This pipeline was not originally meant for us humans." Lightning Head, who was tying equipment to the cloth strips at the side, said at this time.

"Yes, it would be good if we can get in." The One-Eyed Dragon also said, "We should also be glad that Pita's repair robots are all spherical and not strip-shaped...otherwise we can only find underage and thin people. I have to go on an infiltration mission like a bamboo pole."

"Then..." Feng Bujue seemed to have heard some not-so-good keywords from this sentence, "What if we encounter a robot when we are crawling in the pipe? Wouldn't it be necessary to be raped in this environment? Even the pot?"

This is indeed a matter worth worrying about. Even if Feng Bujue... is trapped in that intestine-like environment and hit by shooting weapons, it will be difficult to escape.

"Don't worry." When Isaac replied, he was already the first one to get in. "As long as the facilities are not faulty, there will be no maintenance robots entering the pipelines. In view of the fact that the things built by AI are of extremely high quality...these pipelines are almost It's empty all year round." When he said this, his upper body had already entered. "Besides... the distance we have to climb is very short. If we move quickly, we will be there in ten minutes."

…………

Isaac was right. Ten minutes later, they successfully passed through the pipe and arrived at the subway tunnel.

However... what was waiting for them in the tunnel was an entire team of round table spiders and comprehensive robots.

"You have been surrounded. Do not make any abnormal movements and disarm within ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven..." This is the dialogue spoken by the leading comprehensive robot.

When he heard these words, Isaac turned his head and winked at his teammates. Within three seconds, all four of them except Feng Bujue (Brother Jue didn't bring any equipment anyway) were all very happy. He quickly removed his weapons and raised his hands obediently.

Years of experience in dealing with machinery told them that the biggest difference between robot soldiers and human soldiers is that...the former said "ten seconds", that is "ten seconds", and they will shoot as soon as the time is up, without any second warning. ; As for "abnormal movement", let alone mention it. As long as you dare to raise a gun, the other side will dare to shoot... The result of a close-range gunfight with a machine is self-evident.

As a result, this assault team was arrested so easily.

…………

"In a sense... this is pretty good." Fifteen minutes later, Feng Bujue, who was handcuffed and sitting in the prison car, said to his teammates sitting next to him in an almost leisurely manner, "By They escorted us directly to the central area, saving us a lot of time and energy on the journey. "

"Ha!" The one-eyed dragon seemed frustrated and angry at the moment. He laughed dryly and continued, "Why should we consider time and physical strength... We are already finished, aren't we!"

"No... not yet." Isaac remained calm, "If the other party wanted to kill us, they would have already done it in the subway tunnel; since they captured us alive, it means we are still useful."

"Tch..." Lightning Head heard this and answered angrily, "Are you planning to interrogate us, or... transform us into PMs?"

"Bah! Rather than being transformed into a PM, I would rather kill myself!" the bearded man spat.

"Haha..." Feng Bujue heard their conversation, smiled, and said to the bearded man, "Before you take matters into your own hands, don't you consider finding the traitor first?"

These words made the bearded, lightning-headed and one-eyed dragon suddenly change their expressions. Only Isaac still maintained a calm expression.

And all of this... naturally cannot escape Brother Jue's eyes.

"What do you mean..." The next second, the bearded man looked at Feng Bujue and said half a sentence tentatively.

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Feng Bujue continued in a matter-of-fact tone, "When we came out of the tube, a large group of people had already set up an ambush there. You know... it was a subway tunnel. , if you want to carry out an effective ambush there, you must first stop the normal operation of the subway. Judging from the actual situation, the other party has obtained the exact information at least half an hour ago, so it can be so properly arranged. "

"That is to say..." At this moment, the one-eyed dragon muttered half a sentence and cast a suspicious look at Isaac.

The reactions of Lightning Head and Big Beard were similar to his. After all, Isaac decided the route of this operation, and the relationship was self-evident.

"Do you have anything to explain..." Feng Bujue looked at Isaac with a smile and said, "Captain?"

Isaac still had a sullen face and said in a deep voice: "I... also think there is a traitor in the team." His eyes swept across his teammates, "I also know very well that in this matter, I am very suspicious. ." He shook his head, "But right now, I don't have any evidence to prove my innocence, and I don't have any evidence to prove who is the traitor. So... I don't want to defend myself, because baseless defense is futile. I don’t want to identify anyone, because it will only appear that I am changing the target... but it will make the real traitor hide deeper.”

"Hmph..." Upon hearing this, the bearded man immediately snorted, "Well said, as expected of Isaac." His expression changed, and he looked at the captain with a firm look, "I believe you! Not a traitor."

"Do you... have any basis?" After hearing this, the one-eyed dragon looked at the bearded man and asked.

"There is no basis for this." The bearded man curled his lips, "It's just my personal intuition. Anyway, I don't think this man is the kind of person who is two-faced."

"What do you mean by this?" The one-eyed dragon said, "Do we look like two-faced people?"

"Ha! Who knows." The bearded man laughed, "Maybe I am the traitor... I want to use these words to win over Isaac and influence his judgment. It's reasonable to think so, right?"

"Forget it, everyone knows that you are the least likely." The one-eyed dragon said, "Although you are not a leaper, you will not betray just for the revenge of your daughter killing with the Pi Tower Army."

"Don't you have a revenge with those robots?" The bearded man continued, "As for the captain and the deputy captain, one is a legendary hero in the army, and the other has more seniority than the commander. It seems that... no one..."

"I say..." Feng Bujue interrupted the bearded man, "Have you forgotten me, the savior?"

When he said this, everyone reacted.

"Yes... you are the most suspicious, right?" One-eyed Dragon looked at Brother Jue and said loudly as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Indeed... only your background is unknown to everyone." Lightning Head also looked at Brother Jue and frowned, "And... this action itself was also proposed by you."

"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded, "If I were a bystander, I would also think that I am the most suspicious; because among the five people in this team, I have the most suspicious points." He smiled and tilted his head, "Then the question is... Is it mine..."

Brother Jue was not joking when he said this, but was thinking seriously with a joking attitude.

Although Feng Bujue did not do any undercover behavior subjectively, theoretically speaking, he might really be a traitor...

For example - before the consciousness of the "player" descended, the character possessed by Feng Bujue was an undercover spy, and he was carrying a tracking device that could not be detected by some instrument.

If this assumption is true, Brother Jue might have sent intelligence to the other party without knowing it.

“Eh?” A few seconds later, something flashed through Feng Bujue’s mind. He immediately thought to himself, “Something is wrong… Since this team has been arrested, why hasn’t the traitor jumped out yet? It stands to reason that he/she doesn’t need to continue disguising himself/herself. Could it be that… he/she… or ‘Pita’, has some other purpose?”(~^~)
