179 The Traitor
After giving up on Morpheus, Angelica and the rest of the team finally arrived at another log-off point.
It was a backup location, and there was also a phone that could contact the spaceship.
Now, as long as the operator on the spaceship called them one by one, they could separate their consciousness from the Matrix and return to reality.
Soon, the phone rang, but Angelica didn’t return to reality when she picked up the phone. Instead, she heard a man’s voice on the phone.
Angelica had some impressions of the man. He seemed to like Trinity and had been pursuing her.
However, Trinity had always been indifferent to the guy. Since Angelica was only a player, she never interfered with her team members’ relationships.
However, the man constantly shouted at Angelica over the phone, thinking she wasn’t the Savior.
He believed that even the spaceship’s captain, Morpheus, was a religious fanatic with a delusional disorder.
He claimed that Morpheus tricked everyone!
Humans couldn’t defeat the Matrix. It was also impossible for them to defeat the machine and regain the entire world.
Why not decide to accept the Matrix’s virtual reality in this situation? Why does everyone keep struggling madly in reality?
Wasn’t it good to live in the Matrix?
They could obtain a better life in the Matrix with their abilities. They could even use it as a bargaining chip to trade with hacker agents and get a superior social status in the Matrix.
Couldn’t everyone just enjoy life in the Matrix?
The man’s words silenced everyone at the scene. The hacker agents had already taken Morpheus hostage.
At this moment, everyone finally understood that the man coughed wasn’t because he choked on the dust. He did it on purpose!
Moreover, the guy had deliberately left the team and returned to the spaceship ahead. The two operators on the spaceship might have been ambushed.
They might even be dead!
The current situation could be said to be quite dangerous for Angelica, Trinity, and others.
They needed the operator’s help to return to the real world from the Matrix. If they were to pull out the connector at the back of their brain, their brain would die.
Since their consciousness hadn’t returned to reality, the brain would think that the person was dead.
Meanwhile, the man was provoking Angelica while mocking her identity as the so-called Savior.
Afterward, he pulled out the connector on the back of a male crew member. In the Matrix, the male crew member instantly fell to the ground and died.
The terrifying scene almost suffocated Angelica.
The man was now controlling everyone’s life. As long as he removed the connector at the back of their heads one by one, they would all die!
Moreover, they couldn’t fight back since they were in the Matrix.
When watching the arrogant man, millions of live stream room viewers went furious.
Previously, everyone believed that Angelica could take on the responsibility of the Savior and lead the survivors to resist the Matrix’s rule.
They hoped Angelica could help humans gain control of this world and successfully clear the game.
However, nobody expected that before the battle with the Matrix officially began, a traitor would appear on the team!
It was simply unacceptable.
[Fuck! I’ve long found that guy an eyesore. As expected, this guy is a damn mole! He should have started planning for today’s operation long ago!]
[That’s right! Whether it’s the attack on Angelica and the others in the apartment building or this incident, it was done by that traitor. He is too detestable!]
[What a bastard! How can he betray his teammates? How can he betray his comrades who had gone through life and death with him?]
[Although I know living in the Matrix will be like enjoying life in your dreams, I can’t accept what the man is doing. He is betraying his teammates!]
[Damn! He is too despicable! Angelica, you must find a way to survive! You must go back and kill him!]
The live stream room viewers had begun to condemn the guy who had betrayed everyone, and Angelica’s brain was also working at full speed.
Angelica was clear about how dangerous her current situation was. It could be said that if she were careless, everyone would die!
At that time, not to mention clearing the game, Angelica was afraid that she would have to restart the game to the time before the operation of entering the Matrix.
She would find the man and kill him before the operation!
However, Angelica didn’t want to restart the game. Her ultimate goal was to clear The Matrix in one go, just like how she had successfully cleared the Zombie Apocalypse crisis.
Angelica believed that no matter what decision she made, there would be a chance to reverse the current predicament.
Angelica picked up the phone and kept trying to persuade the man on the other end to calm down.
“We can talk things over. If you’re unhappy with our work, we’ll support you in reconnecting with the Matrix and returning to the Matrix.”
“But please stop your actions, alright? We have all experienced life and death as teammates and companions. Please don’t do such a thing again!”
Angelica tried to sound as gentle as possible as she tried to persuade the man on the phone.
However, the man had clearly gone mad and torn off his disguise.
He didn’t care about the lives of the crew at all.
The next moment, a female crew member looked at Angelica nervously, not knowing what to do.
She eventually hit the ground, just like the male crew member. Obviously, the man had also pulled out the connector behind the female crew member.
The man had killed two people in a row, and only Angelica and Trinity were left at the scene!
However, just as the man was about to pull off the connector behind Trinity’s head and kill her…
Suddenly, Angelica heard some noise from the phone, and she even heard a familiar roar.
Afterward, Angelica heard a series of crackling sounds from the phone. Ultimately, she finally heard the voice of an operator.
