Chapter 39 1.38 Devastated plot fragments

Xingang City, the plot world of Ghost in the Shell, is a highly prosperous East Asian city.

Compared to arriving from a busy airport, only a quick glimpse in the air.If a visitor approaches from the sea, he will be completely shocked by the steel jungle full of skyscrapers, the dazzling street neon lights, and the colorful Chinese signboards.

However, when you go deep into the neighborhood, you can see with your own eyes behind the bright and beautiful skyscrapers, the narrow back streets that are filled with disgusting electronic light fog, filled with prosthetic garbage, damp and depressing, like ugly scars, and those who live in it Human beings have become an incurable acne in this city.It will bring another round of more profound subversive impact.

The old dwellings are surrounded by colorful advertising signs; the narrow alleyways shaded by skyscrapers can only look up to the last ray of sky.The living people who have long been castrated by life walk with their heads buried in the filth, their eyes are dull and their bodies are numb, completely ignoring the scantily clad robot puppets in the window.

Slums are often red-light districts, and this is Xingang City in most people's memory.

However, when the AE86 dragged two long wheel marks and drove into Xingang City over time and space.Wu Chen was shocked by everything in front of him.

This is the ruins of a ruined city.

There are ruins of skyscrapers that are broken down and riddled with holes.The rest of the preserved parts are still relatively intact, and the dead bodies are piled up like a mountain.Many were unable to escape, and the corpses hanging from the windows hugged each other tightly, spreading to the ground and merging into a larger pile of corpses.Without exception, these corpses have all undergone cyber transformations to varying degrees.Then the mass died, like a melting candle, countless corpses fused into one.Exposed wires, nerve bundles, subcutaneous tissue, bionic organs, and polymer materials were stewed into a pot of porridge.It is also like a solidified magma belt, which once flowed wantonly along the narrow back street, engulfing everything.

The on-board intelligent brain quickly scanned the surroundings, and found that there were melted corpses all over the place, and none of them were intact.All of them were torn apart, with hideous faces, and half corpses with different postures, like the living dead whose lower body was plunged into magma and struggling desperately, frozen at the moment of death.It seems that the dead in the entire city have merged together.Upstairs and downstairs, on the streets and at the end of the street, there are fused corpses everywhere.

Eyes full of corpses.

The air is filled with the pungent smell of burnt electronic version and burnt human flesh. "Master, the remains are connected to each other to form a huge prosthetic body circuit. Because the prosthetic body is still charged, the human tissue attached to it has not rotted, but has become dried meat."

Through the holographic window, look around the city that melted and then solidified.Wu Chen was extremely shocked: "You mean, these residual prosthetic bodies from human remains are fused together to form a giant... loop."

"That's right, master." The on-board intelligent brain suddenly zoomed in on the screen.

At the center of the cross street, in the gaps of a large pile of corpses, dots of dim light lit up.Soon, a prosthetic eye drilled out from the depths of the corpse.Immediately afterwards, countless prosthetic eyes, like hermit crabs looking for food, poured out of the pile of corpses like a tide.Spread out in all directions.

"Oh my god..." It seems that the brain is also infected with trypophobia: "Human beings are dead, but they are still 'alive'."

As the owner of the prosthetic eye, human beings are like plastic models melted at high temperature, fused with each other after cooling, and are doomed to die.However, the prosthetic body carried is still stubbornly electrified and on standby.Such as prosthetic eyes, prosthetic hands, etc., relatively flexible organs, can leave the broken body and...seek food on their own?
The weird situation made Wu Chen's scalp tingle and his bones feel extremely cold.

Intellectual Brain has named the remains of prosthetic bodies fused with each other: "Cyborg-Complexes".

What's even more frightening is that the remains of the prosthetic body are still charged.And through the fusion of prosthetic remains to form a circuit, the entire city is covered.

"Master, complete the commission as soon as possible." Input the shooting location delineated by the client into the navigation, and the brain fuzzily calculates the best plan.

"Action." Wu Chen ordered.

"Yes!" The four female soldiers quickly got out of the car, opened the smart trailer at the rear of the car, and took off the deformed motorcycle.

"Armor maneuver." Wu Chen gave another order.

"clear."

Armored maneuver is an armored form between armored ride and armored flight.The female warriors wear armor, step on the rear wheels, and drive upright.Similar to a unicycle balance car, it can maneuver quickly on the road.The front wheels disengage on their own and transform into a wheeled unmanned vehicle, which is the first to investigate.

Armored mobile form, taking into account both movement and combat.It is called "Arcee roller skating" by the image of the brain.It is the three sisters of Alcie, the usual posture in battle.

Four female armored fighters, guarding AE86 from front to back, left and right, carefully avoiding the cyborg complexes all over the street, and maneuvering quickly to the entrusted destination.

The four wheeled unmanned vehicles that set off first have sent back the terrain along the way in real time.Stored in the newly created data entry of Aiyi for big data calculation.

"Master, the state of the cyborg complex is like the human brain waves in deep sleep." As it goes deeper into the city, the intellectual brain gains more and more.

"You mean, the giant circuit formed by the cyborg complex is like a sleeping brain?" Wu Chen understood.

"Yes, master." The brain explained in more depth: "Even though the prosthetic body can store and analyze digital information, it does not have 'autonomous authority'. The human user who implants the prosthetic body must input commands before it can be executed passively. "

Recalling what he saw along the way, Wu Chen suddenly realized: "This is the original intention of attacking the shell. Connecting each other. Fusion into one."

"Connection." The intellectual brain understands more deeply than Wu Chen: "It's like the insertion of human bodies, and ultimately it is for the connection of souls."

"Very, image." Wu Chen had no way to refute.

"Therefore, the way humans reproduce is doomed to long for deep connections with each other from the very beginning of their birth." The divergent thinking of the intellectual brain seems out of date.Or it has other meanings.

"The description is very vivid." Wu Chen smiled knowingly, and by the way, even the hellish experience in front of him eased a little.

"Master, along the 'cyborg complex zone', there is a very weak light signal pulse. It's like the 'digital blood' flowing slowly." The intelligence brain partially amplifies the energy structure in the complex zone.The intertwined data optical fibers buried in the complex are slowly and slightly transmitting pulse signals.It's like the blood vessels covering the whole city, still working weakly.

"This is a city of living corpses." Wu Chen understood: "All human corpses, mechanical artifacts, smart terminals, and even the ruins of skyscrapers together form a cyber city of living corpses. Or 'urban living corpses'. The entire city The city turned into a giant cyber zombie. In this way..."

"What to do?" Zhinao has always liked the conversation with Wu Chen.

"Fight against death or perpetuate memory." As he said those words, Wu Chen's heart was inevitably touched.

"You don't want to be forgotten even if you do everything you can?" Zhinao understood.

"Yes." Wu Chen nodded slightly.

Driving out of an underpass tunnel, his eyes suddenly brightened.In the circular stadium surrounded by skyscrapers, the target is quietly crawling on the collapsed columns.In the half-opened and half-closed prosthetic eye, a faint light flickered.

However, Wu Chen didn't know how to describe what he saw from the front window of AE86.

Racked my brains and can't even name it.

Because Wu Chen has never been short of imagination in his brain, and he can't find the slightest memory related to it.

What is this?
