So, only then was Alexander able to easily sway everyone in his desire of power! Because the anti-machine resistance team, that is the death squad, would bring danger to the base! This thought has long been hidden in the hearts of every one of you! Isnât that the case?â
Hearing the black-haired youthâs question, the valley residents below lowered their heads in shame. Seeing this, the Claire siblings and the anti-machine resistance team looked at the survivors in disbelief! It turned out that while they sacrificed their lives to fight against the machine, in the eyes of their relatives and friends however, this was an act of jeopardising the base! jb9J m
âHence,â the black-haired youth continued to say. âToday, when Alexander falsely claimed that the death squad members led pursuing forces back to the valley base, most of you believed his lie without the slightest hesitation! But have you ever wondered why the D system suddenly slowed down its pace of slaughtering humans? Clearly, there are hundreds of millions of mechanical soldiers in the world. Why doesnât the D system send them out all at once and kill all the humans in one go?â
When the survivors below heard this, they were all alarmed. They subconsciously knew that the D systemâs strength was far more than that. In the massacre that lasted for nearly 30 years, 20 years ago, the number of humans decreased at a rate of several hundred million a year. Even in the latter years, the number of people who lost their lives each year was more than 10% of the total population. But for some reason, after the D system carried out the execution of humans on the coasts and lakes, it suddenly slowed down and withdrew most of its mechanical soldiers. Even the drones stopped patrolling as frequently as before.
âPerhaps itâs because there are too few humans now?â A survivor in the crowd hesitantly replied. âSo the D system thinks that our existence isnât a threat to it? HenceâŚâŚâ
This person happened to voice the thoughts of the other valley base members. They all nodded one after another in agreement. 3dc0iT

The survivors below remained silent, but their expressions revealed their true thoughts.
At this moment, after so many years, the Claire siblings finally understood why they received so much resistance when they established the anti-machine resistance team! It turned out that most of the survivors in the valley base had the thought of living in âharmonyâ with the machine!
âThis kind of thinking is simply stupid.â The black-haired youth coldly said. âYou think that 400,000 humans wonât pose a threat to the D system? Back then, when there were several hundred billion humans in the world, the D system could kill you without any resistance! Is 4 million people a threat? Is 40 million people a threat? As long as the D system is functioning normally, then even if thereâs more than 100 million humans, they still wouldnât be able to shake it up the slightest bit! And at that time, the D system also wasnât frantically massacring everyone! W2la6X
I can tell you that if I were the D system, in my eyes, any living human would be a great concern for me! If there arenât any other factors interfering, then I would put in my all until I kill the very last human!â
Hearing this, the survivors all let out a frightened gasp! The peaceful delusion built from their ignorance and cowardice was ruthless pierced by the black-haired youth. Everyone was shrouded in fear; there were even some who started to weep in despair.
Having caused all this, the black-haired youth silently watched everyone, as though giving them some time to digest the shock of the reality.
But in fact, he was actually busy chattingâŚâŚ J ad6C
Huo Liâs voice sounded in the black-haired youthâs mind: âXiao Yi, isnât your analogy a little tooâŚâŚ Cough. In short, I already helped you delete the relevant memory from 2d14 and 099. Xiao Yi, you are not the same as that homicidal D system!â
The black-haired youthâs face remained calm. He said in his mind: âEn. If it were me, I would be able to kill all 4 hundred billion people on D planet in 3 days. How can I be like that D system, spending 50 years and still unable to finish the job?â
Standing on the stage, the black-haired youth looked at the shock and hesitation on Huo Liâs face below. He used his consciousness to tease: âAlright, put away that hypocritical expression of yours! Who doesnât know that you donât even need 3 days. You can kill the entire world in 5 minutes. HmâŚâŚ well, no one actually knows.â W67ENL
Standing in the audience, Huo Li lightly coughed in embarrassment and quickly intercepted the signal that 099 and 2d14 were about to transmit back to the Salvation Alliance.
The black-haired youth standing on stage finally spoke again in a benevolent manner, which broke the silent, increasingly fearful and despairing atmosphere:
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
âWhy didnât the D system do this? Since itâs not because itâs kind, then there must be a serious problem with its operation. It is unable to do what it is capable of, and it cannot dispatch troops in large scale to completely wipe out mankind. However, if we donât take advantage of this interval to effectively retaliate, then the day the D system recovers will be the day that D planet is completely destroyed!â
Hearing that D system could actually also have a problem, those that were originally in despair felt their spirits shake! They couldnât help but whisper to one another: dE68j
âThe D system can also have a problem?â
âMister Yi said so, then it must be!â
âWhat problem could the D system have. Could it be a virus?â
âHow is that possible?â dTuUEj
The black-haired youth stood calmly on stage, not  expressing his thoughts on the discussions and speculations below. He then said: âRegarding what problem the D system has, Iâll now leave it to Mister Huo Li to give everyone a detailed explanation.â
The youth then looked and waved at Huo Li who was standing in the crowd. He walked around Alexanderâs cold corpse before heading off the stage. When he passed by Huo Li:
âWhy didnât you just say it directly?â Huo Li was slightly puzzled as he asked in Xiao Yiâs mind.
The black-haired youth used his consciousness to reply: âHow do I know what problem the D system has? Iâm not the one who can control the machine and also read minds! Hurry up and go on stage. Explain it clearly. Iâll also be able to listen with everyone.â KPnLdk
Huo Li: â!!!â You donât know anything and yet you dare to give such a long speech!
Huo Li quickly walked on stage. Looking at the black-haired youth who was standing below with an earnest and curious expression, Huo Li took a deep breath and said:
âThe reason why the D system started to reduce the number of dispatched troops starting from 20 years ago is actually very simple â the oil and minerals on D planet are almost exhausted. After exterminating humans until a controllable scale, the D system had no choice but to reduce its own energy consumption and decrease the number of dispatched troops. It switched to putting its resources into the research of renewable energy. However, due to the lack of water and wind power resources on D planet, the D system could only use its remaining power to invest in the construction of nuclear power plants. In another 5 to 10 months, the major nuclear power plants on D planet would be completed one after another. If the smart cabbages still canât grow all over the world by then, then D planet would be completely destroyed!
Hence, our top priority right now is to ensure the flourishing growth of the smart cabbages! However, this speed is still too slow! Ml2ZUK
So, in three days time, Mister Yi and I will lead a team of selected residents to attack the oil field!â
The audience broke out into an uproar!\n
