Chapter 159
Chapter 156
After the Changlong operation, there was some official news that Hao Jian was also an apostle. Some people thought that this was nonsense, and some people thought that Hao Jian’s hiding of his identity was a villain, and his heart was shameful.
The government also sent people to ask Wen Shanggao to find out if the southern district is carrying out any plans. Those big men also contacted him, wanting to know his intentions.
Wen Shanggao didn’t say the identity of Hao Jian, but he didn’t deny anything. He only paid a ticket, and he would be responsible for all this.
Under his repeated assurances, those big men decided to let go and let him act according to his own will.
At the same time, the news that the apostles could kill each other to gain the experience of the other party became more and more confusing. Some ordinary people even heard the rumors and thought that even ordinary people could gain the strength of the other party by killing the apostles.
As a result, the apostles who were alone were killed multiple times, and some apostles were attacked by zombies and were pushed out by ordinary people who believed that they had the means to save their lives. As a result, they were attacked by zombies and infected, so that more apostles were attacked. Hidden in the refuge and did not dare to go out.
But despite this, thousands of apostles were still declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time of the winter solstice, the apostles registered with the Apostolic Association were only left with more than a thousand apostles.
The government had to issue various propaganda notices. One was to warn ordinary people who tried to get power from the apostles. They would only violate the law and harm the interests of more ordinary people. The second was to stabilize the emotions of those apostles and let They are free from rumors and gossip, believing that this is an official mess.
In all this, Wen Shanggao had no intention of intervening. He only sent a “special response team” to secretly collect data, and then secretly observe the rules of operation of this world.
Now the science center’s research is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the virus group has already found out the relevant data of the pathogen. I believe that the pathogen will be thoroughly investigated in less than a year, and the development of antibodies will begin. This process may only take three to five years.
In addition to the virus research, the rest of the research has achieved positive results, which makes the official order restoration work more smoothly.
Later, some foreign research institutions also began to communicate with each other, hoping to work together to tide over the difficulties. Especially in times of crisis like this, other countries suffer more losses than China, but their apostles are very small. If there are 10,000 apostles in the world, then China accounts for 60%, and the rest of the world only Accounted for 40%.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing analyzed the reasons for the distribution of the number of people. She said: “The high probability is that burials are popular in China, while cremation is mostly in foreign countries.”
Lian Ru Ning: “…” Although Hao Jian was joking, she thought it made sense and couldn’t refute it.
Regardless of the reason for the difference in the distribution of the number of people, they only know that from the information obtained by the government, the situation of the apostles in other countries is even worse. For various reasons such as the system, it is estimated that there are fewer than 100 apostles still alive.
Some apostles even sneaked into China from the border of Yuncheng and other places, trying to increase their experience by killing the apostles in China.
Because there is no organization like the Apostle Association in other countries, their intelligence is relatively small, but the intelligence agencies of other countries have stolen the list of apostles of the Apostle Association, and then gave the apostles of other countries a chance.
Regarding the occurrence of this situation, the officials of all ministries and regions are taking corresponding measures, and they will never be merciless once they catch personnel from the hostile forces.
In such days of calm and chaos, and the tensions and easing of the current situation, the survivors have spent another year, entering 2020.
At the beginning of the new year, the Science Center issued a message saying that the initial construction of the maritime safety base has been completed, and a large number of scientific workers can take the lead in transferring to the maritime safety base.
This is to ensure that scientific research can be carried out in an orderly manner. After all, from the observation of the whole year in 2019, even islands such as university towns surrounded by water are not absolutely safe.
The evolution of zombies has made their ability to walk underwater more prominent. In the second half of 2019 alone, the guards near the university town discovered more than a dozen safety accidents where zombies landed on the island. Although they were discovered before they entered the safe area, this is also a safety hazard.
Therefore, due to many considerations, the government should give priority to the transfer of the backbone of these scientific research work. The reason for the secret transfer is that after the people know it, they will feel that the government is engaging in class privileges, so the information must be concealed.
Lian Runing and a group of scientific researchers chose to stay, after all, the science center here cannot be completely empty. The official support for some people to stay is to facilitate the use of various resources nearby to assist maritime security bases in research.
Lian Qingmiao was already at the maritime safety base, and after he arrived, he also shared a video with Gao Ruosu and others. Gao Ruosu and Lian Ruji did not follow to the maritime safety base because they did not want to occupy such important resources.
Along with these scientific researchers, some special persons in the guards who went to the maritime safety base were also detained.
The outside world does not know, but Hao Jian knows that those are a group of illegal and criminal apostles including Kelly that Wen Shanggao arrested. Several of them sneaked in from foreign countries and came specifically to kill domestic apostles. They joked that the Apostolic Association was the apostle breeding farm. Since the Chinese apostles were reluctant to slaughter them, they were taken advantage of.
Of course, for these apostles, Wen Shanggao didn’t mind sending them to the research center for various experiments and research.
In order to confirm that the points of these apostles have been used up, the researchers deliberately set up traps again and again to make them think that they can escape, and then use all means to exchange various tools, and then be captured by the guards again and again until they No ability to escape.
At present, the official has mastered the means by which the apostles gain experience or points, and at the same time knows where their limits are. Except for the apostles who are at large, the rest of the apostles can be controlled with great certainty.
In addition, Wen Shanggao found some low-level apostles, hoping that they would cooperate with the guards to carry out research. What Wen Shanggao has to do is to provide them with zombies to kill, then record their experience, and then study the experience they need to upgrade.
Although they had learned about these things through various information before, but this time, Wen Shanggao also had his own thinking. For this reason, he spent more than half a year training several apostles who were only at level three to level 7. .
It is precisely because of this that he realized more clearly how rare it is for an apostle to reach level 8 and level 9.
With the increasing number of Level 8 apostles shown on intelligence, the evolution of zombies became more and more obvious.
This further confirms some speculations that the operating rules of this world are to create opportunities to reduce the number of apostles. The rules constantly eliminate low-level apostles, and then use the harsh environment to force them to come together more concentratedly and create contradictions. And conflict, gradually reduce the apostles.
Wen Shanggao also realized that although he learned the truth of this world, it did not mean that it could not detect his awakening of consciousness. Therefore, when he conducted these experiments, unless he followed the rules of operation and the apostles of the fittest were eliminated, he The action will be hindered by some.
Even through his observation, he found that Hao Jian’s situation was more obvious, because the apostles who had inexplicably hostile to Hao Jian had also increased.
Liao Yin and Zeng Jianxiong are just one of them. After news broke that Hao Jian was an apostle, she often felt doubts and pressure from the authorities, and some people even forced her to publicly admit her identity.
Wen Shanggao didn’t know whether the transmission of these messages came from people or whether “the world” was warning Hao Jian in this way.
For this reason, Hao Jian has been relieved of her post and now returns to the status of an ordinary person, but Wen Shanggao still grants her the right to walk around.
In fact, not only Wen Shanggao noticed it, but Hao Jian and the system “2018” also noticed it.
“2018” has always worried that Hao Jian’s awakening will be detected by the central processing terminal system, which will determine Hao Jian’s out.
But because Hao Jian cleverly exploited the loopholes, he avoided the “data” errors detected by the central processing terminal system.
But they have forgotten that whether it is the personal terminal system of “2018” or the central processing terminal system, the operation of both is always based on the multi-dimensional information space.
As mentioned before, the personal terminal system is a house, and the central processing terminal system is the bridge and hub connecting the houses.
This multi-dimensional information space provides locations and space for houses and bridges, but the multi-dimensional information space is affected by the central processing terminal system.
Therefore, under the set operating rules of the multidimensional information space, even if the central processing terminal system does not detect Hao Jian’s data parameter error, the multidimensional information space will have such information imported.
So that the multi-dimensional information space will treat hosts and people with signs of awakening as viruses.
However, the multi-dimensional information space does not have the function of “anti-virus”, so it can only use the mode of intervention of the central processing terminal system to “anti-virus”, that is, through implanting other apostles to have inexplicable persistence and hostility to Hao Jian and others. Way, hoping to eliminate them by way within the rules.
But Wen Shanggao and Lian Ru Ning are not apostles, so the multi-dimensional information space can only use official pressure and external forms to create problems for them.
For this reason, Wen Shanggao didn’t catch it at all. Instead, he used this rule to further achieve his goals.
And Hao Jian became “secure” a lot, so the “antivirus” behavior of the original multi-dimensional information space was also suspended for a while, allowing Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning to spend a relatively leisurely time.
However, on a quiet morning, a contact by Wei Guojia made Hao Jian realize that the situation had become serious again.
Wei Guojia has gradually gained more say in the “special response team” in the past six months, and he has also replaced Hao Jian as a major force in Wen Shanggao’s investigation of the apostle.
Hao Jian knew that when Wen Shanggao wanted her to kill, she didn’t kill it, but Wei Guojia killed it. In other words, Wei Guojia took the initiative to cooperate with Wen Shanggao, and then reached level 9 first.
Wei Guojia did not take the initiative to say the authority brought by level 9 but only mentioned a trend. In the future, it will be more and more difficult for apostles below level 6 to survive.
In other words, apostles below level 6 have basically no hope of survival in front of level 9 apostles. It can be seen how terrible the authority brought by the central processing system to level 9.
After that, the actions of the three Wei brothers were even more subject to surveillance and restriction, which was the price they had to pay for choosing to cooperate with Wen Shanggao.
At this moment, the three Wei brothers were also spotted, but they didn’t know it at first, until when the three brothers were out on a mission, someone in turn used Wei Shehui’s physical condition to hide. Things behind, assassinated him.
And those who can know the characteristics of the actions of the three brothers so clearly, except for those close to the three brothers, only those who have dealt with them.
At that time, when Wei Shehui was hunted down, he also sent news to Wei Guojia and Wei Renmin, saying that it was definitely not done by an apostle below level 6, and they were very aware of his ability and even suspected that he was an apostle. So it was definitely someone they knew who shot him.
Although Wei Guojia and Wei Renmin still tried their best to rush to Wei Shehui’s hiding place, they were still a step late. After all, although they reached level 9, they did not have invulnerable superpowers. Moreover, under the siege and suppression of several high-level apostles, he has nowhere to go.
The death of Wei Shehui dealt a great blow to the brothers Wei Guojia and Wei Renmin. They also knew very well that the other party absolutely believed that Wei Shehui was the owner of the system, so they dealt with him. In addition, Wei Shehui is dead. They have many tasks that can only be completed by the three brothers, or they can’t complete the bonus points.
If it’s just the former, then several people can be ruled out. After all, both Hao Jian and Wen Shanggao know that Wei Guojia is the holder of the system; but if it’s the latter, the other party’s purpose is to hit him and slow him down. The speed of the upgrade, there are many suspicious people.
However, no matter how he analyzes it, Wei Guojia doesn’t think that this person will be Hao Jian.
One is that Hao Jian’s level hasn’t reached level 9. She will never take a risk before she knows the level 9 authority.
The second is that the opponent can contact so many high-level hosts to cooperate, and the opponent even knows all the escape methods and routes of Wei Shehui, so the opponent is most likely a host who knows the level 9 authority. Therefore, it must be a level 9 host who is commanding behind.
Third, it is impossible for Wen Shanggao to take such a big risk to train him to level 9. He would never break his wings at this time.
Wei Guojia hoped that Hao Jian could help him.
Hao Jian said: “Sorry, there is something I can help, please say, I will do my best to help.”
Wei Guojia asked: “I want you to tell me, do you know something? If you say that you are not holding any position because of the official questioning you, it is better to say that it is actually a kind of protection for you by Chairman Wen. the way.”
Hao Jian knew that Wei Guojia was questioning that she was the one who reached an agreement with Wen Shanggao, and their three brothers were just pawns. However, she understands the pain of losing his brother, that’s why she has such emotions.
She said: “I don’t know if this is the so-called protection. I only know that the path I want to go has always been clear. Since you have chosen this path, you should bear all kinds of consequences. As for some things , I think even if I tell you, your system will try its best to veto me, so you can talk to Chairman Wen.”
When Wei Guojia thought of Wei Shehui’s death, his eyes were red, but he calmed down: “The person who killed the third child, I have locked a few areas, I think you should also have a clue.”
At the time, some people suspected that Wei Renmin was the host with the system. Now the official mainstream is still this way of thinking. Hao Jian and Wen Shanggao are all people who know that he is the real host, so they suspect that the three brothers have a system. , But the person who focused on Wei Shehui, who had always been low-key, was most likely one of the people who took the opportunity to get close to their three brothers.
After synthesizing various information, Wei Guojia thought of a person.
“Did you know that Le Yan is the host, that’s why you reminded me so vaguely?”
