Chapter 593 Poet

Sun Jack almost had unconditional trust in Tapai.

Looking at the combat machinery called Liufenyi before him, Sun Jack had never imagined that the intelligence given by Tapai would lead him into a no-win situation.

The colossal mechanical legs stamped down heavily, and the dull thud echoed throughout the entire cold underground chamber.

But this was just the beginning. All kinds of combat machinery with various shapes and functions emerged from disguise, completely surrounding Sun Jack.

Among them were not only nanoworms and liquid metal but also every combat unit Sun Jack had ever seen.

Upon witnessing this scene, Sun Jack clenched his teeth tightly and immediately understood past events—this place was not any coordinates; it was a trap!! The channel of Tapai had been stolen by the Poet!

If it had been in the past, it wouldn't have mattered, but now all the combat prosthetic bodies on him had been removed, except for the purely mechanical ones, to avoid being controlled.

Relying on flesh and blood to deal with these mechanical monsters in this environment was lunacy.

And at that moment, a screen slowly appeared mid-air, showing the Poet holding a white jade guitar and leaning against a tree branch inside the screen.

Dressed like a rock singer, he tuned the guitar while humming something, "Oh~~ my brother and I share a cup on the plane~~ my brother's sweat, why does it drip down my back..."

"Poet!!"

Upon hearing Sun Jack call himself, the Poet on the screen raised his head to look at Sun Jack and turned the guitar in his hands into a flurry of green data that quickly dissipated.

"I'm sorry, Sun Jack, to kill you with such an ambush, but there was no choice. You are a big troublemaker with strong leadership among humans, so before killing everyone else, I have to deal with you first. I hope you can understand."

"Right, don't even try; I have taken over the network, you can't upload to the other Sun Jacks."

When Sun Jack saw that all sorts of barrels and technological weapons were aimed at him from all directions, he bit his lip and asked the Poet urgently, "Human nature theory, is this the answer you came up with after a thousand years? I despise you! Your perspective is completely misguided!"

"But you've tried it yourself, haven't you?" the Poet said, spreading his hands with a helpless expression, "You've already given it a full go, haven't you? It's unsolvable. Humans inherently carry original sin."

At this moment, Sun Jack's mind raced as he asked in extreme tension, "Does it necessarily mean death, then? Who told you that those with original sin must die? Besides, humans have no original sin! It's biological instinct! Is it only humans who have greed, lust, pride? It's the instinctual behavior of living creatures! All animals have it!"

The Poet nodded. "Right, I know they do, too, but when they're hungry, they eat; when they feel desire, they mate; that's all there is to it. But humans? Your desires are the greatest, causing the most harm and the most sins. Without humans, I believe Earth could provide me with more creative inspiration."

"Fuck!" Hearing the Poet's unyielding stance, Sun Jack was enraged, but now he could only bide his time and follow the other's words, attempting to buy more time to escape the trap.

"Poet, since humans have committed so much evil, shouldn't we be repaying our sins? Give me 50 years, just 50 years! I will return to you a perfect Earth!"

Hearing this, the Poet on the screen looked at him strangely, paused for a few seconds, and spoke, "So you're talking smack to me now? You think a few words will make me abandon my plan? Who do you think you are? Do you think you're Naruto!!"

The next second, beams of laser shot out, forming a net heading straight for Sun Jack. The peripheral Sun Jacks instantly activated their defensive prosthetic bodies, but in the next instant, all the shields shut down, and the Sun Jacks scattered, pulling out various weapons and rushing towards the combat machinery in all directions.

Seizing this opportunity, the real Sun Jack was practically crawling on the ground towards the left.

All the other Sun Jacks were providing him an opportunity to escape.

As he moved swiftly, Sun Jack felt a tingling on his scalp, a sensation that told him he was being targeted. He quickly adjusted his muscles to dodge, but it was already too late.

Accompanied by the sound of an explosion and his eardrums tearing, Sun Jack was blown into the air.

After a dizzying moment, Sun Jack tried to stand up again but realized his legs had vanished, and his abdomen was split open, spilling his intestines onto the ground.

The moment he lifted his head, he saw the black barrel of a gun aimed at his head and thought to himself, "Am I going to die? I'm not ready to go."

Just as the gun was about to fire, a red blur swooped in, grabbed Sun Jack's intestines, and yanked downward fiercely, the gaping hole barely missing his scalp.

It was Abu. As a furry, she had employed the most DNA enhancement technology, and at that moment, her severe beast transformation had pushed her body to the limits. Dragging Sun Jack's intestines behind her, she raced away at breakneck speeds, dodging all manner of attacks.

Just as she was about to be targeted, Old Six, Hanks, and Solomon all charged in to provide cover for Sun Jack.

However, facing the overwhelming number of combat machines, the others, now without combat prostheses and neural systems, were no match.

At this moment, AA, holding a stick glowing green, charged in, like a pure saint holding her staff, walking into the basement.

Wherever she went, all the combat machinery fell to the ground like vanquished demons, twitching continuously.

Sun Jack, shocked and rapidly getting his wounds stitched up by Delete, asked, "AA, what is that powerful thing?"

AA, revealing her fangs and clutching the stick hurried toward him. "It's my refined nuclear waste! The strengthened version!"

"Shit!" Sun Jack couldn't help but lean back, "Stay back! Move away! Throw it away! You're bleeding from your nose!"

As Sun Jack spoke to AA, observing the glowing isotopes and facing the chaotic situation at hand, he suddenly thought of a solution, a very simple and brutal way to resolve everything.

Half an hour later, nuclear bombs exploded in the skies above Metropolis.

Bits of radioactive dust slowly descended, laying a deadly cloak that isolated network control over all the survivors in Metropolis.

Accompanied by the massive nuclear explosion, like a giant EMP, all of Metropolis's electronic devices, except for the few that could be shielded, came to a complete stop, and the chaotic situation finally quieted down for a moment.
