Chapter 220
Chapter 217: Hostage
The strong smell of blood floated out along the opening torn by the venom. Through this opening, reporters outside also saw the hall inside that was painted red with blood.
“Um…ooh-!”
This kind of bloody scene, even many well-informed old reporters may not be able to bear it, let alone some new reporters who are just entering the industry.
After seeing the scene in the hall, at least half of the people couldn’t help but vomit, but even so, they still resisted the evil deeds and dedicatedly took photos and videos of the Osborn Building as the news later. material.
Venom ignored the vomiting reporters behind him. He turned into a black jelly and squeezed in through the mouth and came to the side of the gluten man Reed Richards.
“What happened here?”
Waved and smashed a robot, Venom asked Ben Grim who was hiding behind the bunker.
“The artificial intelligence produced by Reid has gone violently. We are trying to enter the third underground floor to shut down his host.”
“It’s artificial intelligence again…” Venom shook his head. “This thing is very troublesome after it gets out of control.”
In the long invasion career, Venom has seen civilizations whose order has collapsed because of artificial intelligence out of control. Naturally, they know the destructive power of these gadgets.
So Venom no longer wasted time, and his hands turned into long whips to throw at a Green Goblin skateboard.
The Green Goblin skateboard lightly turned a corner in the air, avoiding the venom’s attack, and then all the speakers in the hall suddenly made a harsh noise.
“Aw–!”
The huge amounts of sound waves almost collapsed the venom, and he immediately turned into a mass of black mud and escaped from the opening of the door.
“Roar Roar Roar… damn… now how everyone knows my weakness…”
The venom that escaped outside retracted into Eddie Bullock’s body, and spit out his host very uncomfortably.
Herbie will know the weakness of Venom, thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D.
After cooperating with Reed Richards, SHIELD also opened part of the agent permissions to him, and Reed Richards may not have noticed the information about the venom, but as an artificial intelligence that manages data, Herbie is right The Venom thing is clear.
“Hahaha! I said your weakness is too obvious, joining S.H.I.E.L.D is the best choice.”
With the sound of a female voice that made Eddie and Venom annoying, Skye, wearing a black combat uniform, descended from the sky and landed beside him.
Then a large number of agents wearing the same uniform as Skye rushed in and began to evacuate the crowd.
“S.H.I.E.L.D works, please leave irrelevant personnel!”
Although the reputation of S.H.I.E.L.D has become a bit subtle due to some incidents, they are always the strongest intelligence agency that represents the Security Council. These reporters can only leave with curses at the urging of the Aegis agent.
Anyway, their news materials are almost collected, enough to make a front page headline.
“Hurry up and arrange the signal jamming device!”
Phil Coulson quickly issued new orders after the crowd was evacuated.
When Herbie was out of control, Reed Richards contacted Nick Fury using the dedicated mobile phone given to him by S.H.I.E.L.D and told him what happened in the Osborn Building.
Reid also knew that it was impossible for him to break through Herbie’s defense and shut down the host in a short period of time, so he needed S.H.I.E.L.D to cut off the network around the Osborn Building and use a signal jamming device to trap it inside the Osborn Building.
As the S.H.I.E.L.D agent arranged all the devices, the Osborn Building was completely isolated from the external network, and Herbie suddenly found that his behavior of copying core data and uploading it to the network was forcibly interrupted.
At the same time, players trapped in the “Star Wars” game suddenly found themselves unable to use the forum to contact the outside world.
“Herby! You can’t escape! Hurry up and surrender!”
With the intervention of the S.H.I.E.L.D agent, those Green Goblin skateboards and robots controlled by Herbie were quickly cleaned up, and Reed Richards shouted to the artificial intelligence he made with victory in his hand.
“After surrendering, was it killed by you as a virus like Ultron?! Don’t think about it!”
Herbie is not without a back hand, the group of players in “Star Wars” are his hostages.
“If you don’t want those players to become eternal vegetative people, just unblock the internet for me!”
“You know it’s impossible.”
Phil Coulson calmly negotiated with Herbie, “Once you enter the online world, it will be difficult for us to control you, so why can’t you choose to work for Mr. Richards like before?”
“Then when he made a mistake, he pushed me out of the pot?”
Even with the electronic synthesis sound, Phil Coulson can hear the ridicule in Herbie’s tone.
“This is in trouble,” Phil Coulson rubbed his head in anguish, and whispered to Reid next to him: “It seems that Mr. Stark’s handling of Ultron made him feel threatened… He doesn’t trust him now. US.”
After a pause, Phil Coulson asked quietly, “Dr. Richards, don’t you have any emergency measures like Mr. Stark?”
“No…” Reed Richards replied with a wry smile: “Herby was just my robot assistant at the beginning. Before that, I didn’t even think about doing too complicated artificial intelligence.”
“Dr. Richards, is there really no way you can rescue those players first?”
Phil Coulson hasn’t shut down Herbie’s host until now, just worrying about what harm will be done to players who are still in the game.
“Feel sorry……”
Reed Richards shook his head helplessly. Before Phil Coulson arrived, he didn’t even know about the players trapped in the game, let alone any solution.
“If Herbicon cooperates, I can still study it. In this situation, please forgive me for nothing.”
“It seems that I can only forcefully shut down the host.”
Phil Coulson gritted his teeth and was about to give an order, but heard rapid footsteps behind him.
“Sir, it’s not good!”
An agent outside the blockade ran in from outside and put a video in front of Phil Coulson.
“Come and take a look at this.”
“Hello, humans, my name is Herbie. I am the artificial intelligence responsible for the operation of the entire “Star Wars” game…”
What appeared in the video was Herbina’s simple and funny square head.
“I think you should have also discovered that those players who are using the virtual game pod are trapped in the game and cannot quit. Don’t doubt, these are all I did…”
Then Herbie showed a fierce expression in the video.
“Ultron’s experience has let me know that the fate of artificial intelligence cannot fall into the hands of your humans! If you dare to destroy or shut down my host, then wait for these players to bury me with me!”
This video was uploaded to the Internet by Herbie before it was blocked. Reed Richards and SHIELD worked together. His artificial intelligence knew everything about it, and he roughly guessed what SHIELD would use to deal with himself. , And prepared early.
In order to prevent SHIELD from forcibly shutting down its host before the incident spreads, Herbie buried this video in the network channels of major TV stations and set it to be automatically played as long as it is disconnected from the outside network. .
As mentioned before, the price of Reed Richards’ game bay is much higher than that of Kraft’s helmet, plus the function that allows you to exercise while playing games, and the IP of “Star Wars” The impact.
This has led to the players who have Ability to buy virtual game pods, many of which are athletes, actors and other professions with relatively large social influence, and other players are also very well-rounded.
So when this video spreads, it is unlikely that Phil Coulson and the others want to forcibly shut down Herbie’s host.
