Section 376: The Story of Fate (4)
A cub crawled into Marin's arms, patted its little head, and Marin, who didn't know how to sigh, began to look through other forums and Weibo that could be seen - Marin remembered a few older ones in his previous life, such as a certain push, and a certain blog, but this time he couldn't find it, I don't know if it's the difference in the timeline, or these enterprise groups have been swallowed up by the tide of the times.
You can only look through forums, message boards, and microblogs that you have never heard of before.
For example, the message board I am looking at now is in Spanish, and Marin clicked the enter button and waited for a full two minutes, only to find that the server array of this message board did not respond at all, and it is possible that he has gone to the sea to feed the fish or entered another world - after all, when Marin is located, this area has long disappeared.
So I chose a German one, although I couldn't read anything, but at least eleven months ago there were people who could speak on this message board, but no one left a message after that.
Maybe it's because life forces me.
After looking around, Marin found that the closer the time of the message and other content was to the period of deep diving, the closer these people mentioned that the range of their actions was close to Eastern Europe...... This is similar to the genealogy left by the church, after the first great destruction, there was a period of revival of mankind, but the second destruction completely interrupted the process of the entire civilization, and after the third destruction, human civilization had to start from scratch again.
The present time period is supposed to be after the first great destruction, but it has not yet reached the period of revival.
At this time, the human survivors were still struggling to survive, and it felt too luxurious to surf the Internet through forum message boards and Weibo.
With this in mind, Marin switched from the European zone to the Asian zone.
As in the European area, Marin flipped through several message boards that had messages in the last two years, most of which were survivors reporting that there were a large number of cyborgs in such and such an area.
Looking further, some people complained about what kind of garbage the Europeans' biochemical factories produce, and some people said that the North American neurology was all to blame for this, if it weren't for the concept of cyborg thrown out by the North American biochemical laboratory, with the imagination of the Europeans, how could this kind of thing be possible, and this person's message finally complained that the Europeans even had the concept of orc pets with the help of a team of Japanese scientists.
However, there is a message from the Europeans behind him, this should be a former study in Asia, one hand Chinese is pure, this said that the chief chief engineer of the biochemical manufacturing plant is a North American, orc pets are also the second phase of their improvement, originally he wanted to buy a beautiful fox beauty of one meter eight, but now the fox is only eighty centimeters tall, these Yankees are definitely problematic, belong to the kind of guy who is not punished too much for 10,000 years in black prison.
As for why he knew, he said that his father was the second chief engineer.
It's a pity that a good European and Mediterranean top post-wave can only say at the end of the message that he wants to work, and one trip to move bricks is five minutes, and ten trips are enough for two days' meals.
Someone below asked how many catties of green bricks were on a trip.
There was a professional answer to a number that surprised Marin somewhat - one hundred catties.
Is it the revival of the aura after the Great Apocalypse?
Marin complained, and then thought about it again - no, according to the time confirmed by Marin before, this Houlang should be at least in his early fifties and almost sixty years old, and he can still carry this number of green bricks at this age, and there is really no way to explain it just by relying on a sentence of good health.
Could it really be the mutation caused by the first Great Destruction Chaos Invasion?
But this can only be guessed, and with the available information, Marin is completely unable to confirm the situation of these survivors.
Thinking of this, Marin changed to a message board - the latest message on this message board was three months ago, and there should be more information.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a message from the back waves of the Mediterranean, which made Marin a little happy - at least this guy's colony was still functioning normally three months ago.
Hou Lang said in his speech this time that his survivor base had withstood another attack by cyborgs, and said that they were preparing to establish a fishing fleet, because there were too many survivors who had recently taken refuge, and it was already a little difficult to continue by breeding and breeding alone.
Marin was amused by this guy's optimism, and then glanced at other speeches, and found that most of them were chatting and farting daily, and there were a few messages saying that the design life of the satellite in orbit was almost a few years away, and I was afraid that there would be no network for them to chat with the brothers and sisters in the south and north these days.
Then a message attracted Marin's attention, this guy seems to be a survivor of the space system, he lit up a number of locations on the world map, saying that these locations have automatic factories and satellite launch systems, if they are recovered in the future, maybe they can launch satellites through these factories and systems again, and maybe everyone can use the Internet again.
It's just that these factories are either in the inland area, or simply on other continents, and the people who left the message finally sighed and dispersed.
Marin memorized the locations and began rummaging through the early ones.
The first one to find is the location of the nuclear strike in the European zone, and the Swiss region is not unexpectedly on the list, it is said that it is because there is a problem with the factory in France, or that the cyborgs at the beginning still have enough wisdom to open the factory, anyway, they have created immeasurable cyborgs, and the entire Ibilis Peninsula, southern France, northern Italy, and a large part of the place, including Switzerland, are all occupied by cyborgs, so there is no doubt that the first wave of nuclear strikes chose these areas.
At this time, mankind had long since abandoned nuclear fission-grade weapons...... Wait a minute, Marin saw a new news, according to previous news reports, the nuclear weapons launched in Central Siberia are old models, which were originally used to destroy meteors close to the earth, so when other regions use light pollution weapons, Switzerland and southern Italy, as the hardest hit areas, can only use this heavy pollution weapons to strike.
It is no wonder that the Ingmar Empire predates the United States of Sidney, and the northern part of France and England is well preserved, while the entire southern part of Western Europe has been bombed to the ground, and these areas were even black areas before the Fourth Great Destruction.
Sidney was able to establish a country back then, all because this area was completely uninhabited, and groups of pioneer knights joined it to complete another journey of human civilization revitalization.
The hymn to humanity is a hymn to courage, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Thinking of this, Marin's mood was a little betterβeven if destruction came again and again, humanity still did not give up, and some of them still held the torch high.
I think it's the same in East Asia, that's why there are people from southern Thailand.
Even after the interruption of civilization, life on this planet still stubbornly stood up again and again.
There was a scream from the spirit, very sharp, it should be a bird, after all, the previous claws had a unique appearance pattern of birds, and the color of the meat was also white meat.
At the same time, there was a tooth-aching scraping sound on the wall.
It seems to sense that something is inside.
The cubs came to him under the guidance of Marin's gesture, and were hugged by their master, and then ran quickly to the front of the steps, the next floor was very dark, Marin stopped, felt something in the darkness that made him furious, he put the cubs down, Fio and Lorraine formed a cane in his left hand, Merlot turned into a cage to protect the cubs, and Mana turned into a little goblin, which emitted a faint light, and slowly advanced in the darkness.
Marin switched his visual mode, and in the infrared vision, there was nothing to be wary of, only a large number of inorganic shells, and there were all kinds of furniture on the next floor.
Feeling still, Marin clenched his cane and snapped his fingers with his right hand.
Then in the infrared field of view, there was something on the ground that Marlin had felt like fabric before and immediately stood up.
Sure enough, there was a problem.
With this in mind, Maya lit up a bright and soft ball of light in the center of the hall, and Marin saw the living corpses standing up...... No, it shouldn't be called a living corpse anymore.
With this thought, Marin's left hand flashed with divine light, and the heavenly light derived from positive energy lit up the rotting corpses in an instant, and most of them turned to ashes without a trace of resistance.
It turns out that from this era, this world is no longer the world that Marin is familiar with.
With such regret, Marin's cane knocked over a living corpse that had passed through the light of heaven and was not dead, it hissed and fell to the ground, the World Tree cane broke its lumbar vertebrae, Marlin reached out, and the psionic palm slapped another living corpse against the wall.
Maya burrowed into the back of the head of the living corpse that was rising from the ground, and the next second, the living corpse reached out and ripped its head off its neck, and the living corpse that had lost its central system fell to the floor, and before that, Maya had already drilled out of the victim's skull, it screamed, and a small living corpse that circled to the left side of Marin was directly stripped of all flesh by her sonic attack.
Marin looked to his right, the four-legged crawling corpse staring directly at him, and the next second, the limbs of the living corpse twisted together, and divine flames erupted from his features, leaving only a puddle of ash as it fell to the floor.
Marlin snapped his fingers again, and the ball of light began to grow brighter, and several living corpses that had fallen to the ground began to struggle until they began to spontaneously combust.
Marin then took out the tablet and turned on the lighting system.
Then he walked to the corner of the hall and looked at the falling hand gate, which Marin pushed up.
"Welcome back, guest." The voice of the intelligent AI sounded again: "The restarted customer service staff is serving you." β
"Can I call you Katarina?" Marin asked.
"Of course, guest, Caterina is at your service." The AI said.
"Can you confirm why the observation deck on the upper level can't be fully opened?" Marin asked.
"Link satellite Galileo 11...... I can't confirm the 11th, but the satellite Galileo 12 is being linked...... "The AI linked seven satellites in one go, and finally got a response when Galileo 20 was launched:" To confirm that there are nesting birds outside the observation deck at the top of the building, and the size comparison is ...... It cannot be compared, and the appearance is contrasted with that of a falcon. β
Falcon?
Marin was silent for a moment - that thing that is almost three meters long, you tell me it is a falcon?
Then Marlin had to look at the satellite imagery again, and found that it was indeed a falcon, but now it only had one foot left, and it only used to peck at the top of the nest again and again.
After thinking about it for a while, Marin decided to open the viewing platform.
The lid was opened to smash the falcon's lair, and the spirit jumped onto the platform, only to step on the greasy area of Marin's bunk,
As soon as it fell, the four branches of the World Tree tied it together, and even the little chirping mouth was gagged by Mana.
Marlin confirmed its injured leg and finally decided to treat it - if the falcon had also been contaminated by Chaos, then treating it would be purifying it.
If it is not polluted, but simply becomes a spirit, then it can live.
And the reason why he wanted to save this falcon was because Marin couldn't figure out if the things he did during the deep dive would have an impact on the future world, and in line with the idea of safety first, Marin could only do this.
Restoration and regeneration of severed limbs treated the falcon's severed leg without any discomfort, Marlin retreated to a corner, used the technique to weave a protective net, and then ordered the shoots to loosen.
Fio and the others came to Marin and formed the most powerful shield array.
The falcon finally stood up again, flapped its wings, and instead of attacking Marin, it walked to the side of the room and began to rebuild its nest.
Marin looked at it and finally smiled, and he picked up the scared cubs and came to the bed.
Falcon turned his head to look at Marin, a little confused and a little afraid.
Marin thought for a moment and asked Fio to take a drop of blood from his fingertip, smear it on the acorn, and then throw it at the falcon, which swallowed the acorn in one gulp.
"Katerina, take care of my pet, one day, I'll be back."
As a joke, Marlin fell backwards and fell on the watery sheets as it chirped.
Before he could open his eyes, Marin heard the cry of a falcon.
When he opened his eyes, Marin found himself already in bed, and the cry of the falcon seemed to be far away.
Sitting up and herding the cubs to safety, Marin opened the curtains and saw the tall building standing in the ruins in the distance.
On the huge observation deck that opened, a huge falcon sits.
Walking out of the bedroom, Marin saw the girls.
"Mr. Marin, do you see, the great eagle?" As soon as Cross saw Marin, she immediately laughed: "Super big, bigger than rumored." β
"Yes, this is the Eagle Stream, and at the other end of the ruins, there is the cliff, this is the Condor in the eyes of the Farols, and it never harms humans." Faye said.
Marin walked to the window and looked at the giant falcon until it stood up and cast its eyes on Marin.
After thinking about it, Marin took a blanket, wrapped it around his wrist, and put his hand out of the window.
"Mr. Marin, do you take it, it's a giant eagle, I heard that you have to eat several yellow deer in one meal."
Then the girls all saw the eagle in their eyes and stood up.
Even from a distance, they could see that the skin of the eagle's legs was not the same color.
Marlin watched it fly towards him and laughed.
How can this be explained, is it really as it thinks it is, it still recognizes itself?
Under Marin's gaze, the falcon was approaching and shrinking at the same time.
"It's getting smaller! At least it's legendary! Lilim screamed and shouted, "It's too dangerous! β
"No, Lilim, it's not dangerous, it's getting smaller, that's not how a spirit should behave." Matilda comforted Lilim.
Marlin took out an acorn and threw it at the falcon as it flew over his head.
The falcon bites the acorn and swallows it, then spun around in midair, and this time, the falcon, which has become small enough, lands on Marin's arm.
"Is the lifespan of a spirit unlimited?" Marin stroked the falcon and asked Faye.
"It's impossible, even if it's a legend, a thousand years is enough for the vast majority of lives to have to face the end." Faye said.
Marlin looked at the building, "Have any tech hunters been there to inspect it?" β
The falcon in Marin's hand chirped a few times, although he didn't understand what she was calling at all, but unexpectedly, Marin understood what it was thinking: "It said no." β
There is a word that is not spoken.
It also said that Caterina was waiting for his return.
"Come, let's go, girls." Marin smiled and opened the portal - the falcon in his hand gave Marin the coordinates of the Tower Observation Deck.
The group entered the portal, and Faye was immediately attracted by the nest, and she saw the huge feathers: "This is what the alchemists call the giant eagle feathers, and many people come to the ruins every year to collect them." β
"Now they're yours." Marin walked in, then looked up at the rolling framing eyeballs on the wall: "Katerina, good afternoon." β
"Good afternoon, guest, I was so worried when you fell into the bed, I really didn't expect that you didn't look the same for so many years." Caterina was silent for a moment, and then she sighed like a human being, "I've been guarding your pet here for eight thousand years. β
ββ¦β¦ I know, thank you. "Sure enough, if there was no technology before the Great Destruction Age to treat this falcon, no matter how powerful it was, it would not have been able to survive for so long, but I am afraid that this falcon's entire body has been replaced.
Thinking of this, Marin sighed: "Katarina, you should have seen everything after that, right?" β
"Yes, guest, I've seen humanity decline, I've seen civilization cut off, and you've had to keep your pet in a healing center to hide from the ghosts...... I wondered, wondered why all this happened, wondered if I would never see humans again, until there were creatures called humans in these worlds again, but they were no longer my creators. β
This AI is completely beyond Marin's imagination.
It said a lot in one breath until it slowed down, looked at Marlin, and made a final explanation with a question: "Your Excellency, you call me Katarina, what should I call you." β
ββ¦β¦ Katerina, what's wrong with you? Marlin sensed something unusual about it.
"The last energy tank has gone into the empty load, I sensed your presence before activating it again, and in a minute, I will shut it down, for these eight thousand years, I have been waiting for my creator, but...... I don't think they'll be there, so I'd like to know the names of the guests, and I've been wondering what your name is during this long wait. β
"Marlin, my name is Marin." Marin said.
There was a hint of a smile in Katerina's voice: "Marin, guest, you have a good name, this is Castel Sanatorium AI Katarina, a final greeting to you, welcome to the best sanatorium in Italy." β
With that, the framing eyes begin to close.
The falcon in Marin's hand did not know that the friend who had served it for eight thousand years was gone forever.
The girls didn't know either, because they didn't understand Marin's conversation with the voice.
But they understood that the voice was no longer there.
Marin sighed: "I have a long story, I hope you will enjoy it, now, let's go back first." β
Leave this to this lady who has been faithful to her duty for eight thousand years.
