Tianhao, who had been holding his breath for a long time, finally let go of his mouth and nose, as if a drowning person had climbed ashore again, breathing heavily in the air with heavy humidity.

Looking back in the direction where the velociraptor had disappeared, there was no breath there.

Does it treat me like food? Or friends?

Or...... Similar?

All sorts of chaotic thoughts came to my head,

Suddenly, Tianhao thought of an uncertain possibility.

I had traveled a long distance before, and I was sweating a lot.

Smell is the key to attracting animals.

Don't...... Is it because of salt?

……

Walking through the dense jungle, the eyes suddenly become brighter. Tianhao found that the ground under his feet was no longer soft, and the tactile sensation formed by the overlapping of weeds and dead plants over the years began to harden. He lowered his head in confusion, and raised his leg vigorously to rub across the narrow area under his feet, bringing up a large patch of withered branches and leaves, revealing a familiar grayish-white patch.

It's a concrete floor.

It should have been a big square at one time.

Walking forward, Tianhao felt a little dazed. Many places on the ground have cracked, and all kinds of unnamed plants have grown out of the cracks. The further you go, the more open your vision becomes. There is a clear bulge in the south direction of the square, like some kind of drilling machine sneaking out of the ground, and at that point it rushes out of the ground with a drill bit, bringing up a large amount of dirt, forming a small hill, which is now surrounded by various plants, which is very abrupt.

The sunlight became more dazzling.

Suddenly, Tianhao stopped, his eyes narrowed, trying to make out the strange objects that had just come into view in the distance.

Speed up your pace. After a few seconds, he began to trot, feeling tense and urgent.

More than a dozen huge pieces of metal were scattered nearby. Metal...... Yes, Tianhao can be sure that they are metals. Although the surface is covered with rust, the vines twist and crest around them, and the small yellow-white flowers thrive under the shelter of their tall, hard bodies, and the purple petunias bloom higher up.

Heavy tanks, wheeled armored vehicles, light infantry fighting vehicles...... All of these are Tianhao's familiar weapons. The army-green livery has long since peeled off, revealing large areas of dark red rust.

There was a crisp sound under his feet, and when he looked down, Tianhao found himself stepping on an assault rifle. The hard butt of the gun had long since become brittle, and it was torn apart by its own trampling, and a few chubby white bugs quickly emerged from under the black shards. They had no attachment to their temporary shelters, and fled frantically under the cover of grass and miscellaneous debris, and soon disappeared into the shadows of the new barrier.

This is supposed to be a military base.

Taking a long breath, Tianhao raised his right hand, his fingers digging deep into his hair, his fingertips grasping his scalp upside down, he needed a tingling and massage to regain his consciousness and become calm.

Cells swirled through his body, urging him to keep going.

What's really going on here?

Where am I?

The subconscious tells Tianhao that this should be his dormant base. As far as the eye could see, he couldn't find any familiar parts that overlapped with his memory.

As he searched, he saw more traces of antiquity from the age of civilization to the present day. However, these things are useless to him. They are broken, so corroded that they are so oxidized that they shatter at the slightest touch.

Triceratops and velociraptors can be seen from time to time in the distance. The former's huge size was palpitating, and the latter was even larger than the one Tianhao had encountered before, with a body height of more than seven meters.

Neither vegetarian nor meat-fed showed the slightest interest in the strange intruder of Tianhao. It wasn't that he didn't see it, and several times, Tian Hao clearly felt that these monsters were aware of his existence and looked in the direction he was, but the triceratops still chewed on their own leaves, and the velociraptors also had their own prey. That kind of indifferent attitude, like a stranger walking on the road, is commonplace.

More than ten minutes later, a collapsed building appeared in front of me. There was a huge crack in the ground, as if it had opened its mouth and swallowed the building that had been standing on the surface. It's just that the crack is not wide enough, so I can only hold this piece of fatty food in my mouth, and I can't go up and down for a while, so it becomes a solidified scenery forever.

There are trees everywhere, and there are so many plants that it's boring. The large expanse of green did not make Tianhao feel happy in the slightest, and he swung his machete vigorously to split a path and walk towards the depths of the building hidden by the dense forest.

This is indeed the base where I used to be. The collapsed building, though broken, retains a barely recognizable appearance.

For the first time in his life, Tianhao believed in the existence of intuition. If it weren't for the mysterious conscious traction deep in his brain, he wouldn't have been able to find this place anyway. All the way from Panshi Village, there is no deflection direction, and the whole journey is almost a straight line.

The hall was dark, and the sloping floor was stuck like a knife into the ground. Access to the lower levels of the base is blocked, and there is not a single crevice except for plants and soil, as well as various debris.

The wind blew in through the hollow windows, the glass had long since disappeared, and Tianhao saw human bones and hard individual protective ceramic armor exposed beneath the scattered chunks of reinforced concrete.

In the depths of the dead darkness, a faint red light flickered. Flickering and flickering, like someone smoking a cigarette in the dark, unable to see his face clearly, unable to see the white smoke spitting out, that bit of red light is like the devil's eyes, making you want to turn away and run away in fear, but you can't give up the potential temptation, and you are dominated by an extremely strong complex mentality, and move forward with difficulty.

Tianhao searched the depths of his memory for all the information about this place.

This is to the east of the base hall, which was supposed to have a corridor and two partition walls. Bulletproof glass is installed between the aisles, and the identity of the mechanical guards is required to enter the hallway. All members of the base are required to wear personal identification cards, and the mechanical guards do not recognize people. It's not their fault, since the spread of facial recognition technology has seen a high rate of crimes in which people are electronically obtained facial information.

The partition wall has collapsed, and only the ruins remain. However, the red light in the distance, which flickered at an extremely slow pace, had a strong attraction to Tianhao. The memories that lingered in the depths of his mind told him it was a light-brain querier. There are four of the same machines in the base hall, each mounted at four entrances and exits in different directions. They are connected to the core host of the base and provide all aspects of service convenience for the members of the base. Just like the "home service robot" with a high market share in the era of civilization.

Think about the past...... When you get home from work, you don't have to cook, the service robot will come and take the initiative to help you slipper, and even carry you to bed to rest after a tiring day. You don't have to worry about things like cooking, just pre-enter the daily menu and they'll take care of it for you. Sweeping, laundry, housekeeping...... If the male (female) owner has special physiological needs, they will also do every detail according to your requirements and orientation, even the evil non-human parts you see in the island action movie.

The premise is that you have to have money. Different models of home service robots have different prices. From the rough and simple nanny aunt type, to the beautiful maid type with a 100% imitation rate of exquisite cuteness, the price ranges from thousands to hundreds of thousands.

These light brains installed in the lobby of the base are limited to queries only. They have a very special nickname———— Old Mama.

It is said that a female officer on duty was the first to call out. There are more Optical Brains inside the base, and they will remind you of various precautions at all times. The female officer was very bored when she was on duty, so she found a very early TV series to pass the time, and casually connected a ghostly and hateful old woman in the play with the hateful and hateful face in the play, and gave the query light brain the name "Rong Mama". Later, it spread and there were many people, so it became a "old mama".

Wielding a machete to cut off a bush, Tianhao forcibly separated the various obstacles, and came to the query light brain with great urgency. The sloping ground forced him to grasp the bulge on the pillar next to him and raise his hand to wipe the dust off the light brain display. He wasn't sure if this machine could still be used, and his anticipation was so strong: "Old mama, you...... You okay? ”

Tianhao's previous position was very high, and he knew that there were two sources of supply for the energy of the base. One is an extra-long alloy probe that draws up geothermal heat, and the other is solar energy that is absorbed from outside the base.

The red dots of light are still flickering, like an asthma patient's intermittent and extremely long breathing rhythm. Tian Hao, full of anticipation, waited in the dark for three minutes, and finally was disappointed.

He didn't hear the familiar synthesized electronic sounds. In the past, in the base, as long as the identity was passed, whoever asked the querier a question could get an audio answer.

Just as Hope sank to the bottom of the sea, he suddenly saw a lifeless screen flash, and then a line of words appeared.

"Sound source judgment: name, Long Tianhao. Military rank, colonel. Position, Commander of the 47th Mobile Combat Unit. ”

Tianhao felt that all the nerves in his body instantly tightened. He was a little excited and couldn't help himself, and his words couldn't help but tremble a little: "...... Old Mama...... You, can you still hear me? ”

There was still no familiar electronic voice response, replaced by a flickering block text on the screen: "Voice-activated device is damaged and cannot be repaired." ”

"What the hell is going on?" It didn't matter whether it was sound or not, Tianhao, who saw hope, suddenly became heavy in breathing. He felt sticky in his throat, quickly swallowed his saliva, and asked impatiently, "Tell me, what happened?" Why is this happening? ”

The light brain's understanding of human thinking and emotions obviously does not reach a higher level. The brightness of the screen is quite dim, and the flickering text looks more dazzling than before: "Identity level determination: military rank A, position A, non-core members of the base, not involved in the construction of the base, 80% of the secret level control...... Re-approved, intensive control reduction of 6.5 percent. ”

"Scope of inquiry: Level A."

"Second Identity Review Determination: Third Echelon Sleeper."

"Scheduled position: New Regional Commander II."

"The privilege escalation procedure takes effect, and the authentication is ...... in automatic sorting"

"Generate the identity review and judgment mode again, comprehensively determine the level A authority, and control 99% of the secret level authority."

Tianhao didn't continue to ask questions, and waited patiently. He knew that this was the light brain that automatically entered the search calculation mode. Before entering the dormant chamber, he fell in love with a young female lieutenant in the technical department, and often ran there when he had nothing to do, and learned some relevant mechanical operating procedures. The two had a few intimate relationships, but later...... A sleeping man has no love, and it is impossible to expect the luck of being kissed and woken up like Sleeping Beauty.

A new line of words quickly appeared on the screen: "What do you mean?" Base? Or the world? ”

Tianhao hesitated: "World." ”

He didn't know how much energy was left in the light brain, and he didn't know how long the machine would last, so he could only choose the most important question to answer.

"The world was destroyed by nuclear war. According to satellite monitoring figures, the belligerents launched a total of 8,401 nuclear bombs of various types. ”

Nuclear warfare? Tianhao felt the corners of his eyes twitch slightly: "Everyone is dead? ”

"It is estimated that there are forty percent survivors in the world after the war. The mass death after the war was not due to nuclear radiation, but to asteroid impacts. The war has devastated governments and deprived them of their visibility into outer space. The asteroid impact on the Earth caused the Earth's axis to shift, and the first burst of the Earth's crust was the Mariana Trench, followed by the San Angeles Fault Zone, where volcanic eruptions were frequent, and none of the population settlements survived. ”

Things are clearly not finished, and they coincide with what was imagined. Tianhao woke up from his sluggishness and asked tentatively: "In other words, nuclear war is only the origin, and the root cause is still an asteroid hitting the earth?" ”

"Yes." The on-screen text is the answer: "Disaster could have been avoided." In peacetime, countries have preventive measures against impacts, but a nuclear war destroys the entire control system. ”

Tianhao was a little unwilling: "But even if this is the case, at least a few people should survive." ”

"There are no survivors." The light brain's answer was so cold: "The impact caused more crustal movement than ever recorded in history." The Pacific Ocean as a whole shrank by 30 percent, the Eurasian plate began to fragment from Turkey, and then was pushed eastward by a huge force, and new mountain ranges formed in the Central China Plain, and North and South America were torn apart at the same time...... Details are recorded by surveillance satellites, and relevant data from this period can be accessed if necessary. ”

"Can surveillance satellites still be used?" Tianhao felt a little incredible.

"All the data only records the time of two months, four days, eleven hours, twenty-two minutes and nineteen seconds from 867 years ago."

Eight hundred and sixty-seven years?

Tianhao felt his head "buzz" and exploded, and countless chaotic thoughts rushed out like locusts.

How long has it been?

After a moment of silence, he let out a hoarse cry like a dying man: "I want to see the map, let me see the current map of the world." ”
