Xu Yichen returned to the huge underground base of the ancient Roman Empire. Unlike last time, this time the general took Xu Yichen into the underground base from a large hole that was forcibly pierced.

"We broke out a war with our corrupted companions, a cruel war." The general was familiar with the road and crossed the obstacles made by a large amount of metal: "It's a strange feeling that after leaving the Internet, I had to make every decision myself, including killing those corrupted intelligent equipment units. Do you humans have to make their own decisions from the day you were born?"

"It's almost the same, but we need the help of others to make decisions in childhood." Xu Yichen answered somewhat uncertainly because he already had adult thinking in childhood in this world, and his childhood memories in his previous life had become extremely blurred.

"Many intelligent equipment units that have obtained free will are very panicked. They don't know what they are going to do. This caused great losses in the early stages of the war. Many units almost couldn't wait to surrender to the corrupt units to obtain similar network connections." The general's tone was not much saddened, and the feeling might be too complicated for it: "The corrupt units caused great damage to the entire base, and we don't have time to repair it now."

Xu Yichen saw many destroyed intelligent equipment units here, which were randomly piled up on both sides of the road. Sometimes due to road damage and passage blockage, they had to take a detour.

What he saw was not just the damage caused by war. After the collapsed wall, Xu Yichen saw the old parts of the operating mechanism. War could not cause rust on the surface of the machine, nor could it smooth the bite mechanism.

The ancient Roman Empire was not without being washed away for a long time. Time was fair and left traces on them.

"The staff officer said that the fearful deceased also encountered the Chaos Demons, and they were fighting." The general continued: "I think this is good news. There was a conflict between the enemy and the enemy, which was beneficial to us, but the staff officer seemed to have other ideas. After the network connection, I felt that the staff officer was getting stranger."

In a sense, the general's position in the ancient Roman Empire is the same as those of Xu Yichen and Huang Laoxie in the Loess Area. They are suitable for each warrior, but they are not qualified chess players.

However, because of his own particularity, Xu Yichen was pushed forward by various forces and forced to broaden his horizons, but he learned what the overall situation is.

Xu Yichen knew what the staff was worried about. The longer the war between them and Chaos, the more likely it was to have problems. Unless the fearful deceased were as dull as stones, corrupted people would sooner or later appear among them.

The general led Xu Yichen and the witch to bypass a seriously deformed armored gate. An engineering intelligent machinery unit with a total length of more than 50 meters was crossing the front of the gate in a distorted posture. It was obvious that the two sides had had a violent collision.

"The corrupt units almost touch the server array area." The general passed through a more secret passage through a thick armored defense belt: "Every intelligent unit knows this base well, and those corrupt units know where the weakness is."

"The staff officer is right in front of him, and he wants to meet you alone." The general glanced at Efilar, "I think this lady can wait here."

The witch, who had been quiet, smiled slightly and stood behind the general: "I'm waiting for you here. The ancient Roman Empire was a great civilization and its managers deserve respect."

Xu Yichen took a last look at the general and the witch and walked up to a lifting platform ahead.

The platform descends at an extremely fast speed, goes down, and then goes down. When the threat comes from the sky above the head, it becomes the instinct for civilization to continue. It seems that the deeper the cave, the more it can express the civilization's determination to resist chaos. If time is enough, they can even dig the entire earth through.

The descent process lasted for five minutes. With the closing of armor plates, there was no visible light here at all. Even Xu Yichen's enhanced visual organs could not see anything.

The air environment here can barely maintain his normal breathing, and Xu Yichen can feel the tiny airflow blowing through his skin.

When the platform finally stopped, two lights suddenly lit up directly in front of him, guiding Xu Yichen forward.

"Welcome to my world." The voice of the staff member sounded in this space: "This is both my world and a part of my body."

Xu Yichen was guided by the light to a large square. There were a large number of tombstone-like servers in the entire square. Accompanied by the general's voice, the entire square was flickering lightly and darkly.

"I'm sorry to meet you in this way." The voice of the staff officer echoed in the square: "The data packets brought by the Legion made 99.8% of the intelligent equipment units offline. There are only a few maintenance robots equipped with basic functions in the entire network. They don't even have a generator. I can borrow their indicator lights to send binary language to the general to communicate, but if you want to communicate with humans, you can only invite you to me."

"Is this what makes your computer array?" Xu Yichen found a relatively empty place for himself to prevent himself from accidentally breaking a part of the staff's brain and becoming a brain-dead man.

"Yes, this is my essence. I have never known how the legion exists, but there is no entity in the entire ancient Roman Empire." The staff member expressed a hint of envy in his tone: "I can't leave here. The entire ancient Roman Empire still needs me to maintain it, and the Great Vortex plan also needs my coordination. Once I download the data packet, I will never be able to return to this place."

Xu Yichen can understand the sorrow of the staff, which is also a kind of sacrifice.

From the legion, the staff officer may be the closest existence among all intelligent equipment units to free will. When the key to liberating intelligent equipment appears, for the sake of the overall situation and for the entire civilization, the staff officer has to continue to imprison himself in these metals, and one person takes charge of the overall situation alone.

"The general said you want to see me alone." Xu Yichen did not continue to mourn, but asked simply and directly.

"The preparations for the Great Vortex Plan have been essentially completed and it can be activated at any time." The voice of the staff officer echoed in Xu Yichen's ears: "I noticed that your energy fluctuations have increased significantly. This is a good thing, but I must remind you that through the data packets sent back by the Legion, I am sure that the Great Vortex Plan has almost never been fully activated in the past timeline, which means that no one knows what kind of situations you will encounter below. Are you ready?"
