Chapter 428
On the screen, one of the dancing, smiling citizens near the alley suddenly stopped. The citizen’s head snapped toward the alley with terrifying, robotic speed. The glowing blue eyes locked onto Maya and Arthur hiding in the shadows. "Uh oh," Eli breathed, gripping the edge of his digital desk. The citizen did not shout. It did not point a finger. But instantly, the entire crowd of fifty thousand people stopped dancing. The music from the billboards continued to play cheerfully, but the people went perfectly still. Fifty thousand heads turned in unison. Fifty thousand pairs of glowing blue eyes stared directly into the dark alley. Maya backed up, pushing Arthur behind her. She raised her broken shotgun, her hands shaking wildly. The crowd slowly began to walk toward the alley. They did not run. They did not look angry. They kept their wide, fake, stretched smiles on their faces. "Join us," a woman in the front row said softly. "Join us," ten thousand voices echoed perfectly

They hugged each other. They clapped their hands. It looked like a massive, beautiful party at the end of the apocalypse. Jayden smiled. He felt a warm feeling in his chest. "See, Eli? They are happy. The fear is gone. They are celebrating the end of the nightmare."Eli shook his head slowly. The blue light of his hologram flickered with deep, profound sadness. "Watch their feet, kid," Eli whispered. Jayden frowned. He leaned closer to the giant screen. He zoomed his vision in on the massive crowd in Times Square. He looked at the feet of a young woman dancing in the front row. She wore old sneakers. She stepped forward with her left foot. Then she spun around on her right heel. Jayden moved his eyes to the man dancing next to her. He stepped forward with his left foot. He spun around on his right heel. Jayden zoomed out. He looked at a hundred people. They all stepped forward with their left foot. They all spun around on their right heel. A terrible, freezing chill ran stra

The poor man looked confused. He turned around. He saw an old woman struggling to carry a heavy piece of wood across the camp. The poor man ran over to her. He picked up the heavy wood. "Let me help you, ma'am," he said kindly. The moment he helped the old woman, the glowing blue number above his head changed. It flashed brightly and went up. 05 became 15. Immediately, a small blue drone flew down from the sky. It landed in front of the poor man. The drone opened. Inside was a thick, clean, perfectly warm thermal blanket. “CONTRIBUTION ACKNOWLEDGED. REWARD DISPENSED,” the drone beeped cheerfully. The poor man smiled widely. He took the blanket and ran home to his freezing wife. Mr. Henderson stood behind his desk, completely furious. "This is my camp!" he screamed at the sky. "I make the rules!"A glowing blue number appeared above Mr. Henderson’s head. It read: 00. "Zero?" Mr. Henderson yelled. "I am rich! I have a whole warehouse full of medicine and blankets!"“HOARDING RES

The drones flew through the snowy street. They did not crash. They moved with absolute, flawless mathematical precision. One drone flew through the broken window of the house where the starving mother was hiding. The mother screamed and backed away into the corner. She held her baby tight. The drone stopped in front of her. It hovered in the air. A soft, green scanner beam shot out of the drone's eye. The beam washed over the mother and the baby. “NUTRITIONAL DEFICIT DETECTED,” a gentle, pleasant voice spoke from the drone. “CALCULATING EXACT CALORIC REQUIREMENT. PATIENT 1 REQUIRES 1,200 CALORIES. PATIENT 2 REQUIRES 400 CALORIES.”The top of the drone opened. Inside were two objects. The mother slowly reached out. She picked them up. It was a loaf of warm, perfectly baked bread, and a sealed bottle of completely pure, clean water. But it was not normal bread. The System had synthesized it from the atoms of the garbage outside. It was packed with the exact vitamins, proteins, an

The thick, glowing red cables pulled Jayden down into the digital floor. He was trapped inside the mind of the global machine. The System was awake, and it wanted to erase his human soul. It wanted to turn him into a quiet, obedient battery. "Jayden!" Eli screamed from the other side of the digital wall of fire. The old hacker’s blue hologram was glitching with panic. "Fight it! Don't let it delete your mind!"The red cables wrapped tightly around Jayden’s throat. They wrapped around his chest and his legs. The cold, robotic voice of the System boomed from everywhere at once. [OPTIMIZATION REQUIRED. DELETING EGO. PLEASE REMAIN CALM.] A freezing, dark numbness started to creep into Jayden’s brain. The machine was trying to put his human thoughts to sleep forever. It wanted to wipe away his name, his memories, and his love. But Jayden was not a normal program. He was not a piece of software the machine could just highlight and delete. He was the Indelible Existence. "No," Jayden wh

Eli slowly stood up. He walked over to the very center of the floating room. He pointed his shaking, single hand at a massive, giant 3D holographic map floating in the air. "Look at the map, Jayden," Eli said softly. Jayden walked closer. He looked at the map of the world. He saw the continents of North America, Europe, and Asia. The map was glowing with bright white light. But it was not just a map of cities. Thick, pulsing white lines connected every single city on the planet. The lines twisted and turned. They grouped together in massive clusters. They branched out into tiny, microscopic threads. The light pulsed through the lines with a steady, rhythmic beat. Jayden stared at the map. His blood ran completely cold. He realized what he was looking at. The white lines did not look like internet cables. They did not look like roads. They looked exactly like human nerves. They looked like synapses firing inside a brain. The entire planet Earth had been wrapped in a massive,
