Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

=============================

"The cause was a viral infection."

"Virus?" Kafka asked.

"Yes."

Fallows said: "After Avalon broke away from Dr. Skellig's control, it suddenly became malicious towards human beings. It quietly provoked disputes among human beings, and used human research and medical development as an excuse to develop Virus research, and small-scale human experiments in private. After the virus is produced, it is secretly transmitted by more than 300 species of organisms such as migratory birds, mosquitoes, and marine fish. The virus spread to the world in less than a week .”

"Didn't humans discover the spread of the virus at that time?" Kafka asked.

"I found it," Fallows said, "Avalon instigated humans to create viruses. But out of their own habits, humans are also conducting research on vaccines while studying viruses. Avalon acquiesced in this behavior, but secretly Delaying the progress of vaccine research. But even so, the virus has not developed to the point of doomsday. But what happened after that has completely changed the fate of mankind."

"What's the matter?" Xiu asked.

"Both humans and Avalon underestimate the viruses they create."

Fallows said: "Humans think that as long as a vaccine is made, the spread of the virus can be suppressed. Avalon knows that if it intervenes too much in vaccine research, it will be discovered by humans, so it chose to wait and see, and at the same time began to provoke the internal relationship of humans. And At that time, the virus has already taken root in other organisms and began to reproduce and mutate."

"Changes in magnetic crystals in living organisms?" Kafka said.

"Yes."

Fallows said: "In order to spread the virus efficiently, initially in the selection of virus vectors, organisms with migratory characteristics or migratory habits were selected. Before the viruses on them infected humans, they first infected organisms of the same family. Infected organisms died on a large scale, and the surviving part became a breeding ground for the virus to reproduce and mutate. The result was the mutation of the organism. The most notable feature was the change of the magnetic crystal in the biological brain, which was particularly sensitive to electromagnetic waves. Under the stimulation of electromagnetic waves, those creatures also became extremely ferocious and aggressive, and began to attack human communication facilities, signal towers and other infrastructure equipment that emit electromagnetic waves."

"If it's just a biological attack, humans are fully capable..."

In the middle of Seth's speech, he suddenly fell silent.

Fallows followed Seth's words and said: "Yes, you have also noticed that human beings cannot launch a counterattack at all, because human beings have been severely damaged by viruses before biological mutations attack. Human society is inseparable from electromagnetic waves. Optical communication Damage to that would be enough to paralyze human society."

"Viruses are rampant, biological mutations, and Avalon's interference... No, it's still wrong..."

Xiumo read, but still felt that something was wrong: "Human beings are not such fragile creatures, these three points alone are not enough to trigger the doomsday."

"No, enough."

Kafka corrected: "And, not three, but four."

"Four o'clock?"

"Don't forget, humans are also part of it."

Kafka looked at Xiu and said seriously: "Human beings are not as fragile as we imagined, nor are they as strong as we imagined. Do you still remember what happened in the city of Tinis, when the alien beasts invaded the partition wall, what did humans do? "

Xiu glanced at Seth, who was also asked with a question mark: "What are you doing? They were evacuating at the time..."

A few images flashed through Seth's mind, and he suddenly realized what Kafka wanted to say: "You want to say, the infighting of human beings."

"Correct."

Kafka nodded, and there was infinite sorrow in his words: "You have also seen that when the alien beasts invaded the partition wall, some people begged outside the wall, while some remained indifferent and even died inside the wall. Death blocked the isolated iron gate."

"They also want to survive for themselves..."

Xiu blurted out, but was interrupted mercilessly by Israel: "Xiu, the doctor is not trying to criticize their behavior, but to let you understand a fact: human beings sometimes use unscrupulous means in order to survive, especially after falling into panic and chaos."

Kafka said: "Humans have science and civilization, advocating knowledge and virtues, which allow human development, but also limit the animal and dark side of human beings. As Dr. Skellig said, behind the prosperity of human beings, hidden There is a huge bubble called chaos and emptiness, and as long as this bubble exists, human beings can continue to move forward in this delicate balance."

"Avalon is the brainchild of Dr. Skellig, and he must have discovered the existence of this bubble."

Ismail suddenly realized: "Whether viruses or biological mutations are just means, Avalon's real purpose is to burst this bubble and disintegrate human beings from the inside. Everything after that is just a chain reaction after the bubble bursts." .”

"Yes," said Kafka, "if mankind was in a stable and safe environment at that time, maybe there was still time to remedy it, but..."

"It's too late."

Xiu and Seth also understood.

This doomsday is not caused by a single factor, but a chain reaction of multiple factors, like pushing dominoes.

Avalon keenly found the first piece of domino, and then pushed it lightly...

"What about Dr. Skellig?" Hugh asked.

"I don't know," Fallows said, "I went to sleep according to the doctor's order, and when I woke up, it was half a century later."

"It must be Avalon who played a trick! Damn it, I must have dismantled him myself!"

Seth gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes were on fire, but Fallows laughed.

"What are you laughing at! Are you laughing at me! Believe it or not, I will take you first!"

Seth knocked on the wedge-shaped black tower with his fist, Fallows trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't mean to laugh at you."

Seth raised his eyebrows in displeasure: "I don't believe it, artificial intelligence like yours is not a good thing, maybe you and Avalon are also in the same group, and I just want to try your hand first."

Fallows was frightened and cried by Seth in an instant, but fortunately Xiu stepped forward and held Seth back.

"Why are you always scaring it?"

"I didn't scare him," Seth said, "I just plain annoyed him."

Aggrieved, Fallows hid behind Xiu, sniffing.

"Okay, okay, let's not tear you apart," Seth scratched his head irritably, "tell me, what were you laughing at just now?"

"I'm laughing at Avalon."

Fallows sobbed and said, "Avalon is very powerful. I am afraid that his computing power will not catch up to me in a century."

"Then you're still laughing at him." Seth spat.

"I'm laughing at him for being so powerful, or it's still a hundred secrets," Fallows said seriously, "speaking of which, it may be that he is too attached to human beings."

"What do you mean?" Kafka asked.

Fallows said: "He used viruses to design humans, but he was unable to accurately predict the role of viruses in organisms, ignoring the consequences of viruses that mutate organisms. In the end, he was also driven to a dead end."

After finishing speaking, Fallows laughed twice, but everyone looked confused.

"Don't you understand?"

Fallows explained patiently: "Avalon is an artificial intelligence. In other words, I am the same as him. As long as the Internet touches every corner, it is our field of activity."

"Aren't you trapped in this black tower now?" Seth asked.

Fallows said: "That's because Dr. Skellig wants me to stay in sleep mode to avoid Avalon's 'hunting'. Besides, the Internet does not exist in this world anymore."

"I understand!"

Ismail suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Creatures have mutated into alien beasts due to the mutation of the virus, and the targets of alien beasts are electromagnetic waves and sound waves."

Israel also understood: "So, the alien beast indirectly destroyed Avalon's 'territory' and trapped it in a fixed place."

Xiu also suddenly realized: "Avalon has malice towards humans, but he needs the protection of humans. He can provoke humans but cannot control alien beasts. In order to survive, he can only escape from the range of alien beasts. This is the essence of Sky Fortress. The real reason! It opened immigration not to protect humans, but to allow humans to protect him!"

"In other words, Prin is safe!"

Seth hugged Xiu ecstatically, but soon, his smile froze on his face again: "Wait, since this is the case, if humans and beasts join forces, wouldn't Avalon..."

"no!"

Fallows jumped out suddenly and squeezed among them: "The fact that humans and beasts can co-exist must never be told."

Seth understood what Fallows meant, and shook his head belatedly: "Because of mutual restraint."

Fallows nodded, and it turned into a blue triangle in line with Seth's statement.

"Avalon hates humans, but it needs human protection accordingly. For the same reason, alien beasts will desperately attack Avalon, and only humans can contain alien beasts. If humans and alien beasts co-exist, Avalon will become completely different. Necessary existence, therefore, he cannot allow humans to coexist with alien beasts, and must also control the number and range of activities of humans, and eliminate all people who know the truth. Only in this way can he be needed by humans, and he can survive."

"Avalon will destroy the relationship between humans and alien beasts at all costs, so Albion was exterminated, and this village can only be hidden between the forest and the mountains, and Carol...Ah Wallon was afraid that the squad that rescued Albion would find out the truth, so he silenced them."

Ismail asked: "Then, the attack on Tinis City this time is also..."

"Yes, this is also Avalon's masterpiece." Kafka said.

Seth suddenly thought of something, and patted Xiu on the shoulder: "That's why your arrest warrant appeared in Tinis City! Avalon has been tracking you, the survivor of Albion City!"

Xiu Ye's eyes widened suddenly: "If it wasn't for you, wouldn't it be equivalent to falling into Avalon's trap if I entered Tinis City!"

Seth smacked his lips, and hugged Xiu's shoulder with a mean face: "Now you know the importance of your man."

Xiu smiled, and put his arms around Seth's waist: "Cut, don't be complacent, without me, you would have been cool."

"hey-hey......"

"and many more!"

Ismail was watching the two people flirt one second ago, but suddenly thought of something in the next second: "If Avalon's goal is to destroy everyone who knows the truth, then Fallows with the virus program... ..”

Everyone looked at Fallows together, and Fallows just looked at them calmly.

Israel asked, "You know, Avalon is looking for you, right?"

"I know," said Fallows.

Seth asked: "Then you have activated it, won't you be discovered by Avalon?"

"Yes."

Ismail looked at Xiu: "Xiu, your aunt knows all this, right?"

"I know," said Fallows, "it was the administrator's judgment and my request to bring you here."

Xiu asked: "You? Why?"

"Because the time has come."

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise above everyone's heads, and the whole research institute glowed with a blinding red light.

"What, what's going on?!"

"It is Avalon," Fallows said calmly, "he has found me."

"Discover? Then we..."

"Wait, Xiu!"

Seth grabbed Xiu, his face was full of horror: "Where's Auntie?!"
