The Midnight Owl

Kuang Jinxin: "Why do you order such light food for me? I want to eat meat!"

Qian Ai: "If you are stupid, you have been hurt by others, you have fallen into the wine pool, and you have just recovered from a dizziness, you have no right to be picky eaters."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

There are two small square tables filled with Shandong delicacies, one is Laoqian’s live broadcast area, and Kuang Jinxin hides on the opposite side, where he eats his own food and vegetables, but there is no oil and water for sick patients; the other is the team leadership area, where Xu Wangzheng single-handedly Resting his chin, he looked at Wu Sheng opposite him in despair.

"ginger."

Junshi Wu, who was about to continue picking up food, paused with his chopsticks: "Huh?"

Xu Wang sighed: "I said, the piece you ate just now is ginger."

Wu Sheng frowned and recalled, quite indignantly: "Too much like a chicken, the disguise technique is at its peak."

"I can't see that you still can't eat it!" Xu Wang collapsed, "What are you wandering about this afternoon?"

Wu Sheng restrained his mind and became serious: "Two things."

Xu Wang didn't expect that he was really serious, so he quickly sat down and behaved like a good student: "Tell me and listen."

"First, the save point." Wu Sheng said, "Since there is more than one save point, there may be three or four. We can find it, and the Yue Shuai team can find it. Chi Yingxue, who is more experienced at first glance Will their team not be able to find it?"

"Don't you want to tell me that I will meet them again tonight..." Hearing such bad news while eating was a shock.

"If yesterday was the first day of their match on 3/23," Wu Sheng put an anise in the captain's plate to fit the atmosphere of the current topic, "the probability that everyone will meet today is basically 100%."

Looking at the star anise, Xu Wang always felt that it stretched out two thin arms, holding the handle of the drone, and grinning at him like a devil.

"The second thing..." Wu Sheng continued.

Xu Wang hurriedly looked up at him.

Wu Sheng said, "Yuanzi."

Xu Wang: "..."

Yuanzi and save point, what is the difference between these two things =_=

"Or let's put it this way," as if seeing Xu Wang's speechlessness, Wu Sheng changed the phrase, "NPC, I'm thinking of the NPC in 'Owl'."

This Xu Wang was interested: "How do you say it?"

"Do you remember the airport ground staff in 2/23?" Wu Sheng asked.

"Of course," Xu Wang wanted to forget, but he couldn't forget, "he just went back and forth with those few clichés, asked other questions, and just looked at you in a daze, especially the one who gave us the boarding pass, and his tone of voice was not human. Oh, it’s very mechanical, and it’s also eerie.”

"Well," Wu Sheng felt the same way, "but the passengers on the plane are different, Xu Twenty and Shen Yisi are all very realistic."

Xu Wang said: "This level is also the same, Ding Xiaoche, I forgot from the beginning to the end that he is an NPC, and Yuanzai, even if I know that he is a save point, I still think he is a human being and has life."

"That's it." Wu Sheng looked at Xu Wang with piercing eyes, "The NPCs in 'Owl' have different levels of complexity."

Xu Wang received the scorching eyes, but did not receive the knowledge points, so he asked anxiously, "Can you make it more understandable?"

Wu Sheng: "Yes. For example, if each NPC has an independent program..."

Xu Wang: "..."

He should try to understand by himself TAT

Wu Sheng: "The more realistic the NPC is, the more complicated the algorithm of the program must be, and the operating logic of this algorithm must be infinitely close to the human brain, so that they can deal with us naturally."

"Artificial intelligence?" No matter what Xu Wang heard, he felt that there was nothing in the pile just now, and these four words were extracted.

"Similar." Wu Sheng couldn't make a conclusion either, but the appearance of Yuan Zai made him think about it seriously.

Xu Wang pondered for a while, then shook his head: "No matter how advanced the algorithm is, an NPC is still an NPC. Ding Xiaoche doesn't think there is anything wrong with the doomsday zombies, and Yuanzi doesn't even know that there are other levels. It is very likely that he doesn't even understand the true meaning of saving files. Words are just settings."

"This is the problem!" A group of flames that were unwilling to swim freely in the ocean of knowledge and insisted on making trouble in the ocean blazed from the depths of Wu Sheng's eyes, "They have very advanced algorithms, but they are only given Extremely limited information, like a supercar with a permanent 20km/h speed limit."

Xu Wang leaned into the back of the chair slightly, so as not to be burned by the flame of seeking knowledge: "Please speak out your plan boldly."

Wu Sheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and in his extremely restrained smile was the spirit of scientific research that could no longer be restrained: "What if we consciously and systematically instill external information into these NPCs?"

Xu Wang: "..."

Being forced to fight wits and bravery every night is already exhausting physically and mentally. Tonight, he is likely to meet a brutal opponent, which makes the road ahead even more cloudy. Now, his military adviser wants to teach NPCs to be human while breaking through barriers.

Life is so hard TAT

……

When the sound of owls sounded at midnight, the four partners entered the purple vortex, but they were different from the usual dizziness. They drove fast all the way, like traveling through a time tunnel, and returned to the bathroom of the 4S shop.

Thunderbolt guns, chainsaws, screwdrivers, and the rocket launcher with only three bomb balls left, all returned to everyone's hands.

Oh yes, and a razor.

Wu Sheng returned the bazooka to Kuang Jinxin, and took the screwdriver himself——Last night, Kuang Jinxin just woke up from a coma. Xiaokuang only took a screwdriver.

After changing weapons, Wu Sheng immediately went to find Yuanzi in the cubicle, ready to practice his "educational philosophy".

Xu Wang has given Qian Ai and Xiao Kuang popular science about Wu Junshi's "sharp idea". Although they feel that in a magical world, it is always a bit weird to study how to develop artificial intelligence, but to be honest, there is still a little bit in their hearts. Subtle expectations.

Unexpectedly, the compartment was empty.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Wu Sheng was annoyed.

Even the distribution of zombies is changing every day, not to mention such an important NPC as a save point.

"Level 23, there are plenty of opportunities, so you should write the lesson plans carefully." Xu Wang patted his military adviser on the shoulder, but in his heart, he lit the wax of "study hard and make progress every day" for the NPCs he will meet in the future.

There was no Yuanzi in the bathroom, but there were several more cars in the lobby, and there was a shivering salesman hiding in the accounting room.

At this time, the four partners really realized the beauty of archiving here.

Yesterday, they were greeted by the 4S store where the other teams had been destroyed. There was only one car left, and the salesperson was still missing.

Today, they caught up with the top seats, and they can choose any model at will!

They were also polite, and directly chose the most spacious and sturdy large 7-seat luxury SUV, the exclusive version.

After all his partners were seated, Wu Sheng started the car, and the SUV left the 4S shop and entered the spacious road. Only then did it really gallop forward, breaking through the wind, with an unstoppable momentum, like a hegemon!

Junshi Wu finally understood the happiness of Thirteen Lang in Zhonghuan.

In a blink of an eye, they returned to the viaduct and followed the map all the way west.

This time, there were no obstacles, they got off the viaduct very smoothly, and drove past the art museum. Except for knocking over some zombies, they didn't meet a single person.

"In 10 minutes, we will arrive at the hospital." Wu Sheng had already printed the map on his head.

"It's only 00:37," Qian Ai looked at his phone, "Isn't it going too well today...why am I so clueless..."

"Our archive location is good," Kuang Jinxin always followed when he saw luck, always doubting this and that, how hard it is, "There is a car as soon as we come, and we go to the viaduct as soon as we leave the 4S store. I must run ahead of all the teams."

Xu Wang agreed with this statement: "In such a short period of time, the team in the south of the city will not have time to cross the river, and the team in the north of the city may not have such convenient conditions as ours."

"Where's Yue Shuai and the others? And those guys from the amusement park..." Qian Ai has been thinking about it ever since he got the warning that "we might meet again tonight", and the thinking is very divided. He doesn't want to meet Yue Shuai team. It has nothing to do with friendship, it's mainly to avoid the risk of fighting, but for Chi Yingxue's team, it's the exact opposite, he wishes to meet him immediately.

"Their save point is elsewhere," Wu Sheng said, "Even if they are going to the hospital, there is a time difference with us, and they haven't encountered anything normal along the way."

Wu Sheng used "time difference", not a clear expression of "who is ahead and who is behind".

Xu Wang heard the clue: "Do you think they might be faster than us?"

Wu Sheng said: "The distance from the Sunshine Theater to the hospital is about the same as ours. If Yue Shuai and the others saved their files after finding a new car, they can drive directly on the road like us today."

"If Chi Yingxue and the others have also saved, the save point may be closer." Xu Wang calmed down. The smooth schedule made him unconsciously optimistic, forgetting that crisis is the normal state in "Owl".

"There may already be several teams in the hospital," Kuang Jinxin first acknowledged the concerns of the captain and the military adviser, and then changed the subject, "But there may be no one, just waiting for us!"

Xu Wang smiled, he just likes such a positive little sun: "I have a good word from you."

After 10 minutes, the road really came to an end.

What greeted them was a European-style villa. Exquisite wrought iron railings surrounded the front yard, but the front yard was crowded with zombies. The two-meter-high hollow carved courtyard gate had been pushed to the point of crumbling.

"This is... a hospital?" Qian Ai leaned forward from the back row and looked through the windshield. "Is the decoration too exaggerated?"

"No," Wu Sheng said, "The hospital is behind this villa."

After being reminded, the little friends saw the edge of the red cross protruding from the roof of the villa.

The villa basically completely blocked the hospital, if it weren't for the difference in height, it would be extremely difficult to find.

"This villa is not on the map," Wu Sheng thought for a while, "It should be a hidden location just like Hexin Island Amusement Park."

Qian Ai was depressed, as if a takeaway was delivered, but he found that there were no chopsticks. If he wanted to eat, he had to wait: "This thing is in front of the hospital, what should I do?"

"Break." Xu Wang unbuckled his seat belt.

This villa blocked the last 200 meters leading to the hospital. No matter which team came from which direction, they had no choice but to pass through the villa or give up.

The captain made a final decision on the strategic direction, and the military adviser naturally began to formulate tactics: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain, go deep into the tiger's den, keep an eye on the six directions, and act according to circumstances."

Then the captain reviewed and deployed again: "OK. Situation, you will blast a bomb ball to the rear in a while, and when the zombies at the door are all lured away, we will enter quickly, and then adapt to the situation according to the situation inside."

Kuang Jinxin: "Why are you bombarding the rear?"

Xu Wang: "If there are people in the villa, the explosion too close will make them vigilant, and a little further away will be more conducive to our sneaking in."

Qian Ai: "How did you understand so much from the four words..."

Half a minute later, it was 00:50 Beijing time and 18:50 owl time.

The SUV quietly drove to the side of the road, hiding under the lush trees.

A rocket launcher shot out from the rear window, and in the last rays of the setting sun, it exploded into splendor.

The group of zombies crowded in front of the wrought iron gate suddenly fell silent. In the next second, a few zombies on the outermost side turned around first and ran towards the explosion site.

As the last zombie ran past on the avenue, Xu Wang immediately said, "Get out of the car!"

The four quickly left the SUV, hunched over their waists, and leaned against the side of the road. Under the shade of the trees, they approached the villa very quickly, and they reached the door in a blink of an eye.

The gate that had been devastated by the zombies for a long time was already half open. If it weren't for their rocket launcher, there would probably be a zombie party in the villa now.

The four quickly entered the courtyard door, and Wu Sheng, who was behind the hall, closed the door halfway.

After entering the courtyard gate, the front door of the villa itself is directly opposite, but now the heavy solid wooden door is open, and the long corridor is so long that the scene at the end cannot be seen clearly, but the sound of fighting inside can be heard.

Sure enough, someone arrived before them.

Xu Wanggang thought this way, but suddenly there was a "ding—" on his arm

The same goes for other partners.
