Duke held the revolver in his hand and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

This is a hall full of technology, with many sleep chambers placed in the middle, surrounded by various instruments and display screens lit up with countless snowflakes.

Duke stared closely at the sleeping cabins. If someone was playing tricks on him, they would probably hide in them.

"——Zizi——"

One of the monitors suddenly made a hissing sound, and then all the monitors also had the same sound. Duke was a little upset by the noise.

Suddenly, all the sound disappeared, the snowflakes on the display disappeared, and all the screens turned white.

A female synthesized voice came from all the displays.

"Hello, Mr. Du Ruo."

The other person spoke Chinese.

"Who are you?"

Duke is a little cautious, but also a little inexplicably kind. After all, this is the only person he currently communicates with in his hometown language.

"You can call me number two."

The mechanical voice said.

"Number two?"

Duke was a little confused. According to the memory in his mind, how could anyone be called such a name.

It was as if he understood Duke's doubts.

The other party explained:

"I'm not human."

"ha?"

"According to you humans, you can understand it as...artificial intelligence."

"Artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence with its own consciousness?"

He had always heard of this kind of thing, but had never actually seen it.

At this time, there was something claiming to be artificial intelligence in front of him, which made Duke curious but also very cautious.

After all, various movies and novels told him that conscious artificial intelligence basically has few good things.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."

Number 2 opened his mouth and said.

"Are you the artificial intelligence of Vault 39?"

The brochure Duke read before said that in Vault 39, the basic operations are managed by artificial intelligence.

But when it comes to artificial intelligence, it is actually just an ordinary program written in advance, without any thought.

Could it be that after so many years, this ordinary program has evolved into a truly thoughtful artificial intelligence? Duke was a little surprised.

However, Number 2 replied:

"I am not the artificial intelligence of Vault 39. I just hijacked Vault 39, otherwise it would be difficult to contact you."

"hijack?"

Duke was stunned. Can the shelter be hijacked?

"There is a rudimentary artificial intelligence in Vault 39. As long as I find it, I can replace it and control the entire Vault 39."

No. 2’s tone had no ups and downs, but Duke felt that No. 2 was very naughty.

"When you take control of the entire shelter? Then the feeling of being spied on that I felt before... was it you?"

"Yes, there are only cameras on the second and third floors of the shelter, and these cameras are all controlled by me."

While Number 2 was speaking, several small black dots suddenly rotated at the top of the hall and were aimed at Duke.

Only then did Duke suddenly realize.

Except for this hall, the rest of the shelter is dark, and this kind of camera is very hidden. Duke didn't notice it at all, nor did he think about it.

No wonder he felt like he was being spied on wherever he went. It turned out to be a hidden camera.

Duke thought for a while and asked:

"Did you also make the nameplate with my name engraved in Qin's backpack?"

Although he already guessed the answer, Duke still asked.

"Yes, I used a laser to engrave a nameplate, and then used a small transport robot to deliver it to the woman's area."

At the same time as No. 2 answered, the surrounding monitors suddenly changed.

Images appeared on the screen one by one, and Duke knew at a glance that they were the explorers who came to the refuge. Duke even saw Qin.

At this time, Qin was holding a big sword and disassembling something. When the camera was pointed at her, she also raised her head, with a look of confusion and caution on her face.

"So what's going on with this shelter?"

Duke saw that Qin was happily picking up garbage and there was no danger, so he stopped paying attention and asked a question that he was more curious about.

The design of this shelter is obviously not bad, especially in the central area where he is located, even a nuclear bomb may not be able to explode.

The purpose of building a shelter is to survive for a long time, and this shelter obviously meets the conditions.

But there is not a single human being in such a place, which is obviously abnormal.

"If you're referring to the history of Vault 39, I can tell you."

Number 2 hijacked the artificial intelligence of Vault 39, and it can view all the other party's records.

"All ears."

No. 2’s emotionless voice sounded:

"Shelter 39 was a scam from the beginning..."

After No. 2’s explanation, Duke’s eyes opened wider and wider.

To put it simply, from the very beginning of its construction, Vault 39 has been under the banner of “allowing elites to take refuge for free and passing on the elite human seeds.”

Such a slogan really attracted a lot of people, and many people signed up.

But in fact, this refuge is not so selfless. Their purpose is to study how humans will reproduce and evolve in this relatively disordered environment.

Because they speculate that after the war, the whole world will probably look like this. By simulating it in advance, they may be able to take the initiative.

This was a brilliant idea, but somehow the elite got wind of the plan, and the fight for the shelter began.

And the irony is that the war did not start at this time. When the war started, the war in Vault 39 was over.

The war between the ruling class and the elite class ultimately ends with the victory of the ruling class.

After all, these ruling classes are well prepared. Although they are small in number, they are powerful.

However, too many people died this time, and their experiment obviously could not continue.

But just when they wanted to return to the surface and continue to trick people into coming in, the war started...

"Then what?"

Duke heard half of it, but No. 2 paused.

"Then, now."

"Huh? You haven't even talked about the rulers, the elite class, and the world war outside!"

Duke was a little unhappy. It was like reading a novel. What he hated most was the dog out of chapter.

The emotionless voice of No. 2 came:

"There are indeed none. The artificial intelligence records of Vault 39 end here. From the moment the war began, there were no records."

Duke was speechless. Did the war begin and destroy the artificial intelligence in this shelter?

But that's not right. Apparently this No. 2 also said that it hijacked the artificial intelligence of Vault 39. Obviously the artificial intelligence of Vault 39 was not destroyed.

Moreover, even if this shelter artificial intelligence has no records, then its No. 2 should have its own records, right?

Duke is still very curious about war-related things. He wants to know what is the reason and what kind of war can turn the world into what it is now.

When Duke asked these questions to Number Two, Number Two said:

"I don't know about this problem because I turned off my phone when the war started."

"This...could this really become a mystery..."

Duke was a little helpless. He probably couldn't find the answer to this thing that No. 2 didn't even know.

"Then, I have one last question..."

Duke took a deep breath.

"How did you know that my name is Du Ruo? What is your purpose in bringing me here?"
