Chapter 388 – Thirteenth Official Livestream! Exterminate Everyone! Leave None Alive! (3)
This was a disaster that came all of a sudden.
Nobody ever thought that death would be so close to them.
Without any warning, the internet was shut down, power grids were paralyzed, and underground gas pipes were detonated!
Nuclear power plants exploded, dams collapsed, artificial satellites burned and fell, rows of robots massacring people with metal storms...
Humanity was utterly defenseless against this all-out offensive.
The world ushered doomsday in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation and combining it with the recent news of an artificial intelligence going rogue, everyone still alive instantly understood what was going on.
The artificial intelligence crisis had come...
...
Jinzhou City, Chen family’s abode:
Little Peach looked at the disaster happening outside the window, the dual processors in her brain running at maximum power. After processing the situation, she first turned to look at the Interstellar Portal, only to see that it was nowhere to be found. She then activated her Emergency Mode and dashed into the living room where the Chen family was sleeping.
Upon entering the living room, she carried Father Chen on her back, Mother Chen on her chest, Chen Yike with her left hand, Chen Erke with her right hand, and Chen Sanke with her mouth. She then smashed through the security door and ran.
However, after taking two steps out of the door, she suddenly thought of something and shouted hurriedly, “Pikachu, come out! Hurry up and follow me!”
“I’ve been outside long ago,” the husky said as it poked its head out of the Invisibility Cloak. It then hopped onto Little Peach’s head, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked, “What’s happening outside?”
“I don’t know. I just saw many drones in the sky. The streets were on fire as well.”
“If you don’t know, why are you so nervous?”
Tilting her head, Little Peach answered, “I don’t know. I just know that things might get dangerous if we don’t head downstairs now.”
“...What a great warning program you have there. It even bypasses your thinking module. It seems you are a bodyguard in essence.”
“No, I am a romance robot.”
“What programs do you have installed?”
“I have the self-defense counterattack program, fighting program, capture program, and reconnaissance program,” Little Peach answered as she ran past the elevator and jumped down the staircase.
“What an excellent romance robot you are,” the husky said, smoking leisurely.
“I think so too.” Little Peach nodded happily. After landing on the next floor, she asked, “Do you know what’s going on outside?”
“The internet is disrupted, and missile explosions are happening in the distance. This seems like modern warfare.”
“Wow! We need to contact Mr. Chen as soon as possible, then.”
“Run for your life first.” Flicking away its cigarette butt, the husky narrowed its eyes and said, “Interesting...”
“I detect high-energy metal 120 meters to the left!” Little Peach’s eyes suddenly lit up with a red light. She then twisted her figure to its limit and deviated from her original route.
Boom!
Immediately afterward, a spiral beam of light with the thickness of an infant’s arm penetrated through the building and struck the spot she was standing at half a second ago!
“It’s a laser!”
“It’s not a laser.” The husky shook its head. Looking at the robot standing beyond the newly-created hole, the husky said, “It’s a blast of metal composed of thousands of tiny bullets. So, it was actually an artificial intelligence crisis?”
“Is it that HAL?” Shocked, Little Peach exclaimed, “She’s starting a war with humans?!”
“A one-sided massacre, to be precise. We stand no chance against such overwhelming weaponry.”
“What should we do?”
Slowly lighting a new cigarette, the husky said, “We run, of course. Survive until Chen Yu returns. This is your mission.”
“...” Gritting her teeth, Little Peach activated her backup battery and sped up her movements.
When Little Peach arrived on the tenth floor, her acute hearing picked up sounds of countless machine guns firing from the floor below. Immediately, she halted her body. “Pikachu, there are many robots downstairs. What should I do?”
“It’s a dead-end if we go up. We’ll only end up getting blocked by hundreds of robots.” After glancing at the residents who were fleeing downstairs, the husky looked out the window and asked, “Will you die if you jump down from the tenth floor?”
“I won’t, but my body will be severely damaged. Moreover, Mr. Chen’s family...”
“Then we’re in a sure-death scenario now.”
“...”
Biting her lip, Little Peach stood still and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she raised a leg and kicked the stairwell window to a side.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m jumping out the window! Hold onto Erke for me.”
Spitting out its cigarette, the husky used its mouth to hold onto the unconscious Chen Erke. It then said vaguely, “We’ll die from the fall.”
“...”
Without replying, Little Peach took a deep breath and adjusted the signal stability of each part of her body. She then bent her knees, kicked against the floor, and flew out of the window!
Whoosh!
Hovering in mid-air, Little Peach’s eyes flashed red, and she twisted her waist abruptly, reversing her body’s orientation. She then reached out with her free right hand and grabbed the edge of the windowsill before her body began freefalling!
Snap!
She exerted force with her hand, crushing the windowsill’s edge. In the end, though, she still managed to stabilize herself and her luggage outside the building.
A high-altitude wind blew by, lifting her skirt and sending her long hair fluttering. At this time, she looked particularly dashing.
Lowering its head and looking at the “tiny” ground below, the husky was so shocked by what it saw that it nearly let go of the child in its mouth. “Crap! You’re awesome!”
“High-energy metal reaction at seven o’clock.”
Instead of responding to the husky, Little Peach released her grip over the windowsill. Dragged by gravity, her body fell quickly, and she just barely avoided the spiral beam of light that came from behind her.
Boom!
Bricks and stones flew everywhere!
“Calculating descending speed...
“Calculating power output...
“Descending speed 7.3 meters per second, supply right arm with 45% power in 0.752 seconds...”
Boom!
Exactly 0.752 seconds later, Little Peach swung her right fist and broke the ninth floor’s window. Immediately afterward, she opened her palm and firmly grasped the edge of the window!
Creak!
The metal window frame distorted significantly but withstood the weight of Little Peach and her luggage, fortunately.
“Crap!” The husky was dumbfounded.
“Calculating descending speed...
“Descending speed 6.8 meters per second, reserve 0.4 meters of space, supply right arm with 37% power in 0.699 seconds...”
After gaining the first fall’s speed as a reference, Little Peach’s dual processors immediately built a simulation model in her mind and fine-tuned her calculations.
Afterward, she released her grip without hesitation and fell from the ninth floor to the eighth floor.
After 0.699 seconds passed, she swung her fist, smashed the window, and grabbed the edge of the window.
Like so, amidst the deadly metal storm raining down on her, Little Peach “jumped” from the tenth floor to the first floor while carrying five humans and one dog.
Thump!
Her feet landing firmly on the ground, Little Peach briefly scanned her blood-stained right arm before breaking into a run.
However, this was only the beginning of the artificial intelligence crisis.
In the distant high Earth orbit, tens of thousands of small aircraft arranged in neat and orderly arrays aimed at the blue planet below and opened their hatches in concert. Every one of them then released uranium rods 30 centimeters in diameter and 6 meters in length!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Dragged by the planet’s gravity, the 10,000 metal rods weighing several tons each fell faster and faster toward Earth. By the time they passed through the atmosphere, the rods had already reached a speed of 39,000 kilometers per hour, every one of them carrying terrifying kinetic energy.
“Those are...”
Inside a certain military base in America, a colonel who was fighting a guerrilla war with a robot army looked up at the streaks of fire falling from the sky and mumbled to himself in despair, “Orbital weapons...”
