Chapter 2956 Spaceship Above the City
At this moment.
As the crowd grew indignant, many civilians were stirred up.
They emerged from the virtual reality pod and began to venture onto the street.
Under Wen Rensheng's observation, the administrators had no choice but to come out and explain.
Otherwise, this would inevitably shake their management.
They had to make concessions.
Soon, various broadcasts appeared in different virtual worlds.
On the large screen in the street, a white-bearded administrator was seen explaining to the crowd:
"Please be quiet, everyone."
"Everything in those stories is fake."
"There are indeed aliens, but they are friendly."
"They are not scary; they are willing to help us gain greater power and make our immortality perfect."
Upon hearing this, everyone started throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves—who knows where they came from—at the screen.
"Fool, fool."
"They say they're friendly, but is that really true?"
"Yes, even tigers claim to be friendly before they eat people."
"Exactly, old man, if you had read more dark fairy tales, you wouldn't have such childish ideas."
"You're not even as good as Little Red Riding Hood!"
"Little Red Riding Hood, you even know to tell whether it's the Big Bad Wolf or Grandma outside the door before opening it, don't you?"
"Yeah, that alien must be the Big Bad Wolf!"
"It's not wrong to think of it as the big bad wolf."
"What if I make a mistake? Wouldn't that be a waste of a great opportunity?"
"We cannot close ourselves off from the world; we must embrace the universe!" the old administrator explained earnestly.
"Those aliens, like us, are all kind people."
“They come from a faraway place, have a very high moral standard, and are here to help us achieve true immortality.”
After hearing these words, Wenren Sheng found them all laughable.
Perhaps these immortals are living too comfortably.
This has led them to completely forget how they got through those difficult years.
As Wenren Sheng said, these guys are getting stupid one by one in the long process of immortality and virtual entertainment.
Some people have calculated that playing mindless games makes you mindless too.
And these administrators came out one after another.
They were all trying to persuade the crowd:
"Please rest assured, everyone."
"We have verified that they are all kind people."
However, at this moment, the middle-aged man uploaded part of the video of the chase.
"Hmph, you bastards!"
"You fools, you've been fooled!"
"If they are kind people, why would they hide the information?"
Why didn't you let us know they were coming?
"And they also want to kill us!"
"You know, we are all immortals. Normally, no matter how great the hatred or interests, we won't kill each other. At most, we'll vent our anger in the game."
"And these aliens even kill people, isn't that the behavior of barbarians?"
Everyone agreed.
Wenren Sheng nodded as well.
That's certainly true of this world.
Those who live long lives are all pursuing entertainment.
They were relatively rational, and there were also chips that helped them control themselves and prevent them from acting impulsively.
Therefore, murder is something that hasn't happened for a long time.
But accidents can still happen.
For example, certain natural disasters.
This is also why administrators want to strengthen themselves.
"Isn't that the Big Bad Wolf?"
"That's right, the Big Bad Wolf is trying to hide himself and disguise himself as the Big Bad Wolf so he can come in and eat Little Red Riding Hood!"
"Yes, if aliens are benevolent, they should come to see us openly and honestly."
"Instead of doing things like this now, sneaking around and even hunting down those who reveal the truth!"
Upon seeing this, everyone became even more indignant.
We are all immortal beings, and each other's lives are the most precious thing.
No amount of money or benefits should be used to kill.
This is the bottom line of this world.
After reading this, Wen Rensheng still felt that the people here were actually quite nice.
At least they solved the problem of killing each other—like these administrators, who, despite colluding with aliens, still didn't want to kill anyone.
People aren't stupid.
It's just that excessive entertainment has caused their brains to degenerate.
You could say they've become too naive.
When they see the truth, they will still be able to understand.
And so, one after another, the crowd angrily cursed:
"Arrest all these administrators!"
"Revoke their privileges; they've been colluding with aliens!"
The group organized their robots, and one by one they went out of their homes.
Finally, they headed towards where the administrator was located.
Wenren Sheng and a middle-aged man were mixed in with them.
He naturally wouldn't make a move.
A hastily assembled army of robots is preparing to launch an attack on the enemy.
Of course, their weapons were none other than eggs and vegetable leaves...
Yes, this is clearly a reputation attack, not a real war.
what is this?
They were playfully fighting in the street, their legs tucked in as they struggled.
The administrator also dispatched robots.
Both robots were throwing eggs at each other.
This large-scale brawl was actually quite satisfying for Wenren Sheng to watch.
"good."
"This is much milder compared to the previous pursuit."
Wen Rensheng noticed that they were all very respectful of each other.
There was no intention to kill the other party.
This shows that their world is relatively successful in restraining transgressions.
Or rather, only in such a world could immortality be discovered.
In worlds rife with internal strife, even if someone achieves immortality, they will be killed by those filled with envy.
These robots also tend to be relatively gentle with each other.
They didn't want to cause any major conflict.
Soon, the whole situation descended into chaos.
People no longer obeyed the administrator's arrangements and instructions.
However, some people support the administrator.
Those people are often those who don't want to use their brains.
However, many more people oppose the administrators.
They clearly felt the administrator was unreliable.
If this continues, it will put them in a very terrible situation.
Thus, the robot armies of both sides were seen fighting each other every day.
Someone said, "Administrator, get out here right now!"
"You can't go on like this."
"If you continue like this, our world will be finished!"
"that's right!"
"I'm in charge, we have to take them down."
The group talked amongst themselves.
As the situation changed, the entire group of immortals began to split into three waves.
One wave resisted, another surrendered, and yet another chose to flee.
"Since we can't beat them, and we can't persuade them either."
"Why don't we just run away ourselves!"
"That's true, it would be better to just run away."
"Yeah, let's run away quickly."
The fugitives all said the same thing.
So the fugitives began building spaceships.
They wanted to escape; they didn't want to stay here and wait to die.
Of course, they also knew that they couldn't escape the solar system.
But you can escape further away.
After all, there are no light-speed spaceships here.
There were also no cross-time and space attacks.
Similar to a normal space fortress background.
They were still relying on conventional weapons for offense and defense. The spaceships' speeds were also in the hundreds of kilometers per second range.
In theory, if they run first, the other side can't catch up.
……
this day.
After people got up, they started arguing again.
"Surrender, flee, or resist?"
"This is a problem."
At 10 a.m., an unusual ray of light pierced the sky above the city.
Everyone looked up.
They were immediately stunned.
A silver-gray ring-shaped object with a diameter of thirty kilometers was seen hovering above the city.
Its surface, like liquid mercury, slowly rotates, emitting a silvery sheen.
But it left no radar echo.
It is not visible to radar at all.
The alarm immediately went off!
“Aliens are coming!”
"Damn it, this is impossible! How can they fly so fast?"
"According to estimates, it took the other party less than seven years to fly from a planet on the edge of the solar system to this planet."
"Damn it, wasn't it supposed to take 200 years?"
At that moment, air raid sirens sounded simultaneously in major cities around the world.
It was a long, metallic whistling sound, a remnant of an ancient era, that jolted countless people awake from their virtual games.
Then they were dragged into an abyss of fear.
"Damn it!"
"impossible!"
"This is fake!"
In the first few minutes, people felt as if their hearts had been struck by an invisible hammer, and they couldn't breathe.
And at this time.
Everyone immediately realized that the cell phone signal was gone.
The media videos were all just flickering white spots, with no signal at all;
Riots broke out immediately.
……
In the supermarket, the mineral water shelves were emptied by robots that rushed in within twenty seconds.
An old robot was pushed and fell, the can of food in its hand rolling into the crowd.
In the past, respecting old robots was a tradition, but no one dared to bend down and rescue one.
On the highway, robot drivers are all positioning their vehicles across the middle of the road.
They all looked up at the sky, and the reflection of the spaceship was shown on the engine cover, like an ominous mirror.
This is obeying the master's orders.
They need to be observed carefully.
As for their masters, they all chose to hide underground.
Some clever ones even tried to escape in a spaceship.
But the robot told them that this was a choice made out of panic.
That would only make you a target for the enemy to hunt down.
This unrest is spreading exponentially.
The old man's voice, which was playing on a loop over the loudspeaker, said, "Please remain calm."
But the old man's voice was clearly trembling.
Many places have been turned into temporary shelters.
The robots are working busily.
Fortunately, they are there to maintain order and handle things.
Otherwise, we wouldn't know how much we would lose.
Broadcasts everywhere repeated in countless languages: "This is not a drill, please remain calm."
Thirty-six minutes later, the most bizarre scene unfolded:
The spaceship began projecting a beam of light towards the ground.
The pale blue beam of light was so vertical that it defied the laws of physics.
Light naturally travels in straight lines.
However, it is very difficult for humans to achieve a perfect perpendicularity to the ground.
There will always be some error.
But the other party acted as if they were arrogantly displaying their technical prowess, and the light was like a glass needle inserted into the earth.
That needle was at a 90-degree angle, a perfect 90 degrees.
This is true regardless of how it is measured.
Immediately, the beam of light began to extend to both sides, transforming into a wall.
It then swept westward along the line of longitude.
Wherever it swept, all the electronic screens simultaneously displayed static.
Then a symbol pops up:
A circular ring with a simple line drawing of a planet in the center.
At the same time, there is another sentence:
"You are insects."
Nobody knows what that symbol means.
But everyone understood the meaning behind those words.
Among those outside, some knelt in prayer.
People began running frantically towards the underground shelters.
On the virtual network, the topic of "alien invasion" overwhelmed the server within ten minutes.
The accompanying image shows the background of a beam of light sweeping across the planet.
"Give the order immediately to launch the interceptor missiles!" someone began to urge.
"We must resist!"
The silver-gray ring suddenly flickered.
It wasn't an explosion; it was more like the instant a television signal was cut off.
Then, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, it began to shatter into dust from the edges.
This alien spaceship has mysteriously disappeared.
Wen Rensheng laughed upon seeing this.
This is both a deterrent and an illusion.
The beam of light went out in the same second, and the global power grid, which had been shut down, started working again.
The phone screen regained signal after only forty-seven minutes.
In retrospect, all radar records showed that no entity ever appeared in the airspace.
The temperature in that area was normal according to the satellite infrared scan;
The fishing boats on the sea didn't even feel a breeze.
The only thing left is the video that's been wildly shared online:
In the last frame, the sky returned to its dark blue-green color, as if nothing had happened.
People looked at each other.
Someone stopped awkwardly.
Many robots began to receive commands.
They put down the shopping bags full of canned goods.
They immediately rescued the injured robot.
Some people even kicked their pets, which had already been put into the shelter, out again.
The grain reserves are no longer needed.
Only the lingering echoes of air raid sirens still reverberate among the high-rise buildings.
But it sounds more like a nightmare that ended prematurely.
After the illusion dissipated, the world was quieter than before.
No one dared to look up at the sky anymore, as if a spinning silver ring might reappear in that empty blue expanse at any moment.
Everyone remained silent.
"Is this fake or real?"
"It must be true."
"I think it's just an illusion."
"Can an illusion really make all electronic signals disappear globally?"
"Possibly, if the administrators cooperate with them."
Everyone understood then.
Yes, it was the administrator who did it!
For a time, the crowd was furious.
Everyone cursed and condemned the administrator.
"what!"
"You bastards, you actually let aliens in and are even going to cooperate with them? Are you trying to scare us?"
"Yes, we will never give in, we will resist."
However, despite this, the fugitives had the upper hand.
Many people have started contributing their household robots and their own credit points.
One by one, their initial bravado turned to silence, and they all began to prepare to flee.
The voices of the resistance fighters were reduced to the minimum, while the voices of the surrenderers grew louder.
Of course, the number of people who surrendered was still small; the majority were those who fled.
Obviously, everyone knows that surrendering doesn't necessarily guarantee a good outcome.
