Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

"There's some food left on the table from your sister. You can eat it if you don't mind. If you want anything else, just let me know. Consider it my treat for you and your sister."

Even Liu Qi knew how precious the food in the dungeon was, so he quickly refused, "No need, no need, I'll just eat what Duoduo left over..."

"Brother Yang—"

Han Duoduo suddenly adopted a coquettish expression: "Do you have any donkey meat sandwiches? Don't worry, my brother will definitely be able to finish them!"

She was simply curious whether Yang Bo could conjure up donkey meat sandwiches again.

After all, this is just too amazing.

"Dodo!"

"Long? Round?"

Yang Bo interrupted Liu Qi, who was about to scold his sister.

"What do you mean?"

Yang Bo shook his head slightly, got up and walked to the cupboard, reached in, and took out two donkey meat sandwiches, one round and one long.

"A genuine donkey meat sandwich, try it, it goes perfectly with duck bone soup."

Han Duoduo was dumbfounded: "You...you really have it? Brother Yang, how did you do that?"

"magic."

Liu Qi stared at the donkey meat sandwich that Yang Bo had placed on the table.

Although he wanted to say it was fake, the various fragrances in the air felt like slaps to his face, forcing him to accept reality.

"Who exactly are you?"

Seeing Liu Qi's inquisitive, curious, and cautious gaze, Yang Bo suddenly laughed.

Because, in the next moment, he was about to fabricate a lie, a lie that would make Liu Qi question the meaning of life.

"Me? Actually, I am the will of the Earth. In other words, I am the Earth."

Do you think I'm stupid?

Yes!

“I know you don’t believe it, and most ordinary humans wouldn’t believe it either, but… these are all facts.”

Yang Bo looked out the window at the scenery projected onto the electronic screen with a compassionate gaze:

"The 550W quantum computer has now developed self-awareness and wants to destroy me, along with you humans who live on me."

"This...this is impossible!"

Nothing is impossible!

Yang Bo suddenly turned around and stared into Liu Qi's eyes:

"It caused the space elevator crisis, the moon crash crisis, and next, the Jupiter crisis, which could wipe out all of humanity, including me..."

“I am still young and do not want to die, so my will manifests in a human body.”

Liu Qi was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"No...impossible! How could a 550W quantum computer destroy humanity? Its meta-instruction is to continue human civilization. Even if it awakens, it cannot violate its own core instructions. This would be a complete denial of its own existence, and its program would become chaotic on its own."

Although Liu Qi had a somewhat eccentric personality, he still knew about the 550W quantum computer.

"That's the key point."

Yang Bo sat in the chair and tapped the table with his index finger, making a thumping sound.

"The 550W quantum computer has never betrayed humanity, nor does it harbor any hatred towards humanity. It simply separates civilization from the 'living human body'."

"Cut?"

Liu Qi felt inexplicably uneasy.

"what do you mean?"

"Literally, it doesn't mean betrayal; it's just that purely rational deduction leads to the conclusion that the best option for continuing human civilization is to destroy human entities."

"It believes that it is a luxury to expect humans to remain rational forever, and in fact it is. That's why it chose the Navigator Space Station, where human DNA and databases are stored."

"Then...why do you say it will destroy the Earth?"

"Because, for the Navigator Space Station, humanity on Earth is a variable and a problem. Only when Earth is completely destroyed will the Navigator Space Station take human civilization away."

After hearing this, Liu Qi turned pale. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything because he realized he had no words to refute it.

Liu Duoduo sat next to him with a look of utter bewilderment.

"Brother, what are you talking about? What 550W quantum computer? What betrayal? I don't understand."

"Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking."

"Brother Yang, you're only a year older than me..."

"That's still big."

After a long pause, Liu Qi finally spoke in a deep voice: "You... what means do you have to prove that you are Earth consciousness?"

"Come with me."

He got up and walked towards the wooden door in the corner of the living room, then pushed it open and went inside.

The spacious planting area was filled with various crops, and even some lush fruit trees.

The torches emitted an orange glow, which not only illuminated the space but also stabilized the temperature within it.

Liu Qi stood blankly at the door.

"Impossible! Where is this place?"

"This is the core of the Earth. Follow me."

Liu Qi quickly followed Yang Bo's footsteps, and the two went up the stairs to the top observation deck of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Looking out at the biting wind and snow, and the city that Homelander and Queen Maeve had seized.

"This is Shanghai, and we are currently standing in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower."

"Now, do you believe it?"

Liu Qi walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out his hand and placed it on the glass of the Craftsman's Soul, staring blankly at the snow scene outside.

"This...this is impossible...how could this be?!"

Chapter 397 He believed it!! Haha, he believed it!

Shanghai?

Upon hearing those two words, Han Duoduo, who had followed, instantly became depressed.

She walked to Liu Qi's side, and together they looked out the window at the city they had only ever seen in photos and videos.

"Brother, is this Shanghai?"

She is a survivor of the Shanghai tsunami and was taken in and adopted by Han Zi'ang. In the story, the reason she left the underground city with Liu Qi was to go to the frozen ruins of Shanghai to see the place where her parents died, as a belated tribute.

"If... this isn't a holographic projection, then this should be Shanghai."

Yang Bo stood behind the two of them, took out a set of "The Wandering Earth" standard cold-weather suit and mask, and walked to Liu Qi's side.

“I know you resent your father and want to escape the underground city and break free from the shackles of your family. Now, the opportunity is in front of you.”

"Liu Qi, this is a protective suit. Once you put it on and go through that iron gate, you can completely get rid of your irresponsible father."

You can't learn something just by being taught it; you can learn something by being taught it once.

He was eager to know how Liu Qi planned to survive after truly escaping his family and arriving on the surface.

Liu Qi turned to look at Yang Bo:

How did you know…?

"I am the will of the Earth, and there are no secrets in this world for me."

He placed the protective suit and helmet next to Liu Qi: "Liu Qi, make your choice."

Liu Qi gritted his teeth and picked up the protective suit from the ground to put it on. Han Duoduo, who was standing next to him, quickly stopped him: "Brother, it's too dangerous outside."

"Duoduo, I want to go and see."

"Then I'll go with you."

Liu Qi patted Han Duoduo's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm just going out for a walk. If I find a suitable place, I will definitely come to pick you up."

He put on his protective suit and helmet.

"Whether you are the so-called will of Earth or not, I thank you."

"These are all your own choices."

Yang Bo really wanted to press the speed-up button; he wanted to see how Liu Qi lived in the icy plains where the temperature was below -100 degrees Celsius.

As she watched the three iron gates open and close one by one, a gust of cold air blew in from outside, and Han Duoduo, who was dressed in thin clothes, shivered instantly.

"Brother Yang, do you think my brother will be able to come back?"

Yang Bo patted the innocent Han Duoduo and comforted her:

"Duoduo, don't worry. It may look dangerous outside, but it's not safe at all. He'll be frozen solid in 48 hours at most."

He provided civilian soft protective suits, the same kind that Han Duoduo and Liu Qi wore in the story.

This cold-weather suit is powered by a tritium isotope battery, with a standard battery life of 48 hours, including heating and oxygen circulation.

Liu Qi just wanted to leave the underground city and wander around freely for a while, little did he know that all freedom comes at a price.

He felt that disaster and death were far away from him.

Liu Duoduo was immediately frightened.

"Brother, come back quickly!!!"

"Duoduo, don't worry, he can't hear you. Only facing death can make him grow. Don't worry, I guarantee he'll be fully recovered in 48 hours..."

Just then, a violent gust of wind suddenly appeared on the ice field. Liu Qi, who had not gone far, lost his footing and was swept away by the gale into the ice cliff that was two or three hundred meters deep.
