356: Come, play a game!

No wonder the information controlled by Number Three was not as much as Meng Xian's; Tian Ming was not dissatisfied, as the internal integration of the base was not yet high.

Some news was intentionally blocked for the sake of infallibility.

Tian Ming nodded, indicating understanding: "Very good, you did the right thing.

But now that we've tipped them off, a breakthrough will probably not be so easy."

"Yes, Boss, we have now strengthened the internal security measures of the base, and at the same time increased the intensity of patrols in the periphery.

If it's truly Jiang Chen's side trying to infiltrate, I believe after some time, they will naturally show themselves," Meng Xian replied.

Tian Ming thought for a moment, then said: "Since that's the case, let's wait and see.

As long as they are still active, they will eventually reveal flaws.

Additionally, establish a backup of the main AI to host the online community, creating an information isolation from a technical standpoint, to prevent Number Three from leaking important information."

It wasn't just Tian Ming who used Number Three; almost all high-ranking officials in the Shelter could directly communicate with Number Three.

Different permissions allowed access to different encrypted data.

What Tian Ming was mainly concerned about was the possibility of moles among the high-level management.

By creating an information isolation for Number Three, Tian Ming intended to centralize all important information, allowing only those he authorized to view it.

In fact, there was no need to add another AI; Number Three alone could achieve this.

But since the online community was just opening, he took this opportunity to handle both matters at once.

In the afternoon, the Superpower Team had returned, having arrested over a thousand people, some of whom only had basic ID cards and nothing else.

At this point, the military within the base began to intervene, conducting high-intensity interrogations.

An organization, at the very least, should have administrators or leaders.

But after the first round of interrogations, no significant information was extracted.

With no progress in the entire incident, Tian Ming sat on the sofa at home, with real-time live feeds from various interrogation rooms projected into the space.

Most of the individuals who joined Hope of Light were somewhat abnormal.

However, they all shared a commonality: a deep pessimism about the fate of humanity, even disbelieving that the current base could bring them hope.

At the same time, this group also yearned to become stronger.

Ordinary people did not gain abilities through the Super Serum, but they could through the Superpower Potion.

Most people showed resistance during interrogation; almost none answered questions normally, instead deflecting.

Tian Ming watched the screen, his brows furrowed.

He understood that this situation was not normal; generally speaking, even the strongest faith would not maintain such consistent silence when facing interrogation.

Behind this, there must be a deeper problem.

"Number Three, connect me to Meng Xian!" Tian Ming said.

Meng Xian received Tian Ming's call request and immediately connected: "Boss, any instructions?"

Tian Ming asked: "How are the interrogations going? Any special discoveries?"

Meng Xian shook his head: "Currently, the interrogations are not progressing smoothly.

We haven't found their leadership yet; they are not very cooperative.

Based on micro-expression analysis, we've identified ten individuals, and the leader of Hope of Light might be among these ten or so people."

Tian Ming stood up and said: "I'll come over.

I have a way to make them talk.

Gather them together first, and wait for me."

"Okay, Boss!"

When Tian Ming walked into the interrogation room, he saw a group of suspects who had been escorted in.

Their expressions were very calm; even with Tian Ming standing before them, they remained unmoved.

There were ten people in total, six men and four women, all aged between twenty and thirty, very young.

Tian Ming glanced at them and said: "Will you come with me?"

The ten people heard this, but no one moved.

Tian Ming waved his hand, and a nanometer wind blade directly passed through a man in the corner.

The man's body stiffened, and in an instant, his head was separated from his body, falling directly to the ground.

Everyone was shocked; they never expected Tian Ming to directly kill someone.

"I'll say it again, come with me.

The last person to leave the interrogation room dies," Tian Ming's tone was extremely cold.

As soon as he finished speaking, those people could no longer hold back and scrambled to follow Tian Ming.

Pfft!

The unlucky person who was last to exit the door was directly crushed by a powerful pressure that appeared out of thin air, turning into a puddle of flesh.

Tian Ming led the remaining eight people towards the exit of the Underground City.

They followed closely behind Tian Ming; their original fearless expressions had vanished, replaced by tension and unease.

As Tian Ming walked, he said: "Aren't you very pessimistic?

Full of disdain and despair for the base, for the entire race.

Why are you so afraid of death now?"

Tian Ming seemed to be intentionally provoking them.

One person stopped and was about to run away.

Suddenly, thick smoke billowed from his body, and amidst screams, he directly turned into ashes.

Tian Ming sneered and said: "Seven left.

Let's continue.

Stay close, and don't try to escape, because I will kill at any time."

Tian Ming's words and the death of that person just now brought immense psychological pressure to the remaining seven.

They looked at Tian Ming leading the way, cold sweat streaming down their backs, their hearts filled with fear and unease.

The seven followed closely behind Tian Ming, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Along the way, Tian Ming did not speak again, and the seven did not dare to make a sound.

They silently followed Tian Ming, afraid of accidentally angering him.

Finally, they arrived at the exit of the Underground City.

Tian Ming led them into an empty factory building.

He stopped and turned to the seven, saying: "Let's play a game.

Of the remaining seven people, only one will survive.

As for the others, they will all die."

The seven people's faces changed dramatically upon hearing this.

They had originally thought they had escaped the fate of death, but they never expected Tian Ming to have such a plan.

"You... what did you say?" one of them asked, trembling.

Tian Ming spread his hands, and seven daggers floated in the air: "Each take one!"

After Tian Ming finished speaking, an octagon cage surrounded the seven, with nanometer wires stretched between each pillar.

If anyone tried to escape, they would be directly cut into pieces.

Tian Ming smiled coldly and said: "I'll explain the rules of the game.

Within ten minutes, the person who survives will be granted clemency.

I only want one survivor.

If there are two, then I'm sorry, both must die."

"Are you a psychological pervert?!" a woman couldn't hold back any longer and roared.

Tian Ming ignored the woman, smiled indifferently, and said: "Listen for my command.

When I say 'start,' you all go crazy killing."

The seven people looked at each other, their hearts filled with despair.

They knew they had no retreat and could only choose to fight.
