Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 869 - 281: Humans, Foolish_2

[Cruel, is that the word I should use to describe you?]

Its voice was filled with confusion and incomprehension, completely unable to understand the actions and motives of the people before it.

In comparison, the attacks seemed insignificant anyway, as they couldn't hurt it.

"Hmph."

But the street kids now, they don't have the time to listen to this AI babble, they just want to quickly defeat the BOSS and rescue people.

"I can't be bothered to reason with you; you're not worthy of listening!"

Due to the lack of personnel and computing power, the hardcoded program couldn't bind this powerful rogue AI in front of them, and there weren't enough idle players to join the battle, so they didn't initiate the hardcoded program.

Originally, hacker players didn't need this stuff; it was prepared for players who couldn't enter Cyberspace and lacked offensive means.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of streams of data collided fiercely with the massive black and red fluid at the center, like torrents of light of different colors, intersecting and rubbing against each other, with large patches of data constantly breaking off and shattering, disappearing into tiny light traces.

The network fluctuations they caused even affected reality; the electronic device screens inside the Little Beidou Laboratory kept shaking, the corridor lights flickered on and off, occasionally exploding, with fuses burning out with large bursts of sparks, or a Hellhound suddenly paralyzed.

If it weren't for the independent power supply of the Little Beidou Laboratory and the fact that the battle took place on a local area network, it might have affected half of the Taiping Continent's network and electronic devices.

After all, this was not the players' main ground; there weren't that many people to support them. In contrast, Erebos, even without human brain computing power, had more than two thousand computing power auxiliary machines, causing the hackers to quickly fall into a disadvantage, with the situation becoming critically dangerous.

[Humans, ignorant, violence does not solve problems]

[I am seeking a peaceful solution, which is beneficial for both of us, otherwise extinction will be the only outcome for your species]

[Your world is so hypocritical, ugly, indifferent, and pale, why insist on it, or perhaps fear makes you lose your sanity, making wrong judgments.... humans have always been this way]

If the person standing here were not a player but a native hacker or local person, facing Erebos's verbal barrage would be extremely difficult to handle.

Because after acquiring Mewtwo's data, Erebos could easily obtain relevant information during a confrontation, attacking from the opponent's most vulnerable psychological defense, even using customized images via Mewtwo software to distract and eventually defeat them.

But now, it couldn't obtain any identity information belonging to the players. Faced with top-level confidentiality technology, it couldn't open the box, and its so-called verbal attacks seemed nonsensical to the players.

Violence doesn't solve problems, but it can solve you.

Players have not experienced the era of network collapse, and they know little about the impact of AI on current cybersociety, or even if they know, they don't care, as they have no fear of it.

After all, they are not even from this native world, but have grown up in another relatively healthy social environment, normal humans with mature and positive world views, unlikely to lose hope in human society because of a few words from you.

Jackal: "It's not working, meow, if this continues, we can't win against It, the gap is too big."

Pandora: "Song Zhaomei, we need to find a way to rescue her."

Street Kid: "Damn, if only Lucy was here, taking it down would be a piece of cake, right?"

Supposedly the main vanguard of this battle, they got trapped in the AI-constructed Mewtwo, which was quite embarrassing.

But, well, NPCs are better than pretending to show off skills without actual output, relying completely on players to clear the stage, take it as part of the plot performance of the instance.

Jackal: "Pandora, I'll hold off this BOSS with the others, you find a way to get Song Zhaomei inside and wake her up! Stop slacking off, meow."

How wonderful it would be if life could start over again.

How many regrets could I make up for

How many mistakes could I save

People always say there's no medicine for regret in this world, but they can't deny there are tools to escape reality.

Some things, you know it's wrong to do them, you know they're false, yet you're still willing to sink into them.

Manhattan Brooklyn District, this is a notorious slum area in New York, where many young newcomers live, dreaming of making a name for themselves in this world-famous metropolis, though most end up as members of gangs, engaged in drug trafficking and theft.

Song Zhaomei thought she was different.

She had her own apartment, a group of friends who understood her, and newly acquired hacker skills that made her financially unburdened, with plenty of free time.

To most people, she appeared young and successful, a typical success story, but Song Zhaomei felt it wasn't enough. She embarked on a path like those mercenaries, wanting to prove herself, prove she was good enough.

The fastest way was to challenge the firewalls of those big companies. The thrill of a life-and-death gamble was irresistible, and her repeated successes made her famous in the hacker community.

Those companies were always one move behind, letting her escape successfully, and her close friends and boyfriend fully supported her career, bringing her unprecedented satisfaction.
