City of Hope Institute!
Wu Wei took a deep breath, and then stepped into the only intact building in the ruins of the city.
The moment he stepped through the door.
An invisible wave swept over Wu Wei's body, and immediately after, a voice full of mechanical texture sounded.
[Ding, you are entering the City of Hope Research Institute and are starting to authenticate you!]
[Ding, the identity verification is successful, Mr. Wu Wei, you automatically get the highest control authority of the research institute!]
As the two mechanical sounds sounded, the entire research institute lit up at once.
Wu Wei, who was standing at the door of the research institute, saw with his own eyes that the original darkness was swept away by the snow white, and as far as the eye could see, it was almost endless snow white.
The scene in front of him makes people wonder whether they are in an endless plain or a research institute that should be no more than a few thousand square meters at large.
And at the same time as Wu Wei was stunned, a red-black metal puppet slowly walked towards Wu Wei.
As soon as this guy appeared, Wu Wei couldn't help but get nervous.
However, just when Wu Wei thought that the first boss after entering the research institute was about to appear, the metal man saluted Wu Wei very decently.
"Welcome, Mr. Wu Wei, I am your experimental assistant and intelligent housekeeper of the institute [Xiaohong]!"
Looking at the guy in front of him, who was full of metallic texture, but his every move was very graceful, Wu Wei was stunned for a long time and finally spoke.
"Xiaohong, who took this name, so tasteless!"
"I'm sorry, sir, it is my creator and my master, Mr. Wu Wei, who named me!"
Well, the first sentence he said asked a boring question, but he was scolded by the other party, and Wu Wei was a little embarrassed.
"I don't remember my taste being so bad. ”
While muttering, Wu Wei's attention was all on this little red body, quietly observing it.
To be honest, Wu Wei is really interested in this robot, if he is not vaguely aware of it, this guy will definitely be able to easily suppress his existence, Wu Wei must have directly thrown off his mental power this time.
"You seem to be interested in me. ”
After sensing Wu Wei's gaze, Xiaohong, the metal man on the other side, projected a piece of light and shadow on the top of his head and began to introduce himself.
"I am a research-based magical robot created by my master in the year 152 of the Cataclysm.
The main function is to control all the equipment of the institute and assist the owner in various experiments.
Since I am a research-type magic robot, I am not equipped with violent weapons, and my individual combat effectiveness is low, and I cannot leave the research institute. ”
Speaking of this, Xiaohong paused, glanced at Wu Wei and added: "Another point to note, there is another important reason why the master created me, which is to let me wait for your appearance!"
Xiaohong's last words made Wu Wei's face change slightly.
He had always thought that this research institute, or this robot, was to regard him as Wu Wei of this world.
Now the other party's words directly denied Wu Wei's conjecture.
Moreover, he also told Wu Wei that it was left by Wu Wei to wait for him, which frightened Wu Wei.
If what the robot says is true, the message contained in it is quite terrifying.
However, the good thing is that this guy doesn't seem to have any ill will towards him at the moment.
It took Wu Wei a few minutes before he adjusted his mentality.
Now that people already know, Wu Wei no longer cowers, but fortunately he generously asked his questions one by one.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Know, you're another Mr. Wu Wei!"
"What's the other Mr. Wu Wei, and what's the connection with me?"
Wu Wei's eyes lit up, but the other party didn't give him the answer he wanted.
"There is not enough information to answer!"
"Then how did Wu Wei in this world know that I was coming, why are you waiting for me here?"
"There is not enough information to answer!"
The two questions in a row were 'insufficient information and could not be answered', which made Wu Wei vaguely have a bad premonition, and soon, Wu Wei's premonition was verified.
Next, he asked Xiaohong a lot of questions one after another.
As a result, 70 or 80 percent of the questions Xiaohong responded with 'insufficient information to answer'.
However, Wu Wei is not completely unfounded.
He found that as long as he asked questions related to Wu Wei and time-related questions, Xiaohong's response was 'insufficient information to answer'.
But if Wu Wei asked other questions, it wouldn't be like this.
For example, if you ask about the City of Hope, ask about history, and ask some people Wu Wei knows, under normal circumstances, Xiaohong can still answer the questions well.
Through Xiaohong's repeated questions, Wu Wei spent several hours and finally sorted out something.
First of all, it is very important to note that Wu Wei found that this world had a high degree of similarity with the world he was in, but it did not seem to be the future of his world.
It's more like the future of another parallel world.
Because Wu Wei asked about a large number of events 18 years later, he found that many events did not fit at all.
Moreover, the trajectory of Wu Wei's development in the two worlds is also completely different, Wu Wei in this world was a boss of an ability organization from the beginning, and his ability is not proficiency, but an ability called energy absorption.
Moreover, the timing of his rise was not right, Wu Wei of the City of Hope did not rise until after the catastrophe.
Also, Wu Wei in the two worlds seems to be completely different in personality.
This Wu Wei in the City of Hope has a high-profile and strong personality, which is completely different from Wu Wei's low-key and introverted personality (someone thinks of himself).
Different personalities, different experiences, and different tides of abilities in the two worlds.
Although some people in the two worlds are almost the same, there is no doubt that the world where Wu Wei is located and this City of Hope are two completely different worlds.
However, although it was certain that this world in the City of Hope was a parallel world, Wu Wei finally focused on understanding the evolution of this world and the so-called catastrophe.
Through Xiaohong, Wu Wei found that the two worlds are also very different in terms of the speed of ability tides or earth upgrades.
Wu Wei's side has now been opened to the first realm, and the world in the City of Hope has not been opened to the first realm until ten years later.
And soon after the opening of the first realm, the era of the Great Calamity began, and the entire earth underwent earth-shaking changes.
Meteorites fall, the earth expands, gravity intensifies, mutant beasts multiply, and the environment deteriorates......
In just one year since the start of the catastrophe, the human race has been directly reduced by more than 90 percent, and if it weren't for Wu Wei taking the lead in gathering the power of human beings to build the City of Hope, the human race might have perished as soon as the catastrophe began.
Although Xiaohong only dictated this paragraph of the catastrophe, and used the most gentle tone, Wu Wei couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp after listening to it, and his mood became heavy.
He knew very well that the catastrophe that Xiaohong said would most likely befall his world in the future, and it would definitely come faster than the world of the City of Hope, and it might even be more ferocious.
Thinking of this, Wu Wei couldn't help but fall into a deep silence.
However, Wu Wei didn't bother to be silent for too long, and quickly came back to his senses, put the focus of the question on the side of the City of Hope, and asked Xiaohong, the City of Hope, how it became what it is now.
Of course, Wu Wei's question was not answered.
Xiaohong gave Wu Wei a standard perfunctory answer: 'There is not enough information to answer!'
In the end, there was no way, Wu Wei threw out the only question about this world that Xiaohong should be able to answer 100% Wu Wei: "Say, why did he ask you to wait for me?"
"The master asked me to take you to receive what he left for you, please come with me!"
The robot Xiaohong said, turning around and walking towards the snow-white world.
Wu Wei hesitated, gritted his teeth and followed.
Following behind the robot, Wu Wei walked forward more than a dozen steps, and the snow-white world around him slowly receded, and then Wu Wei found himself in a huge laboratory.
In this laboratory, there are huge crystal troughs one after another, and among those crystal troughs, there are corpses of different shapes lying one after another.
Seeing these corpses, Wu Wei couldn't hide the shock on his face.
He could feel that the strength of each of those corpses was an extremely terrifying existence, and the weakest was estimated to be dozens of times, or even hundreds of times stronger than his current one.
"What are these?"
"These are the intruders who have accidentally broken into the institute for hundreds of years, and when persuasion fails, I have turned them all into experimental material!
But for hundreds of years, the institute has been closed, and no experiments have been conducted, so these experimental materials have been kept around. ”
Xiaohong glanced at the corpses and responded calmly.
The corners of Wu Wei's mouth on the side couldn't help twitching, and he looked up and down the robot named Xiaohong again.
"Didn't you tell me that you weren't armed with a weapon of violence?
Didn't you tell me that you are a research robot and your combat effectiveness is not good?"
"Well, my combat power is indeed a weakness.
In terms of performance, it is far inferior to professional combat robots, so it can only strangle the gods of the lower god level!"
Listening to the other party say this kind of thing in a posture that I am actually very weak, Wu Wei couldn't help but panic.
But at the same time, it's a little familiar, and it feels like it's a bit like when someone says he's a weak scholar.
Holding his little heart and pulling his eyes away from the invisible pretending robot, Wu Wei suddenly had a bold idea?
"You've been putting these experimental materials for hundreds of years, and I guess it's useless, why don't you just give them to me?"
When he said this, Wu Wei's eyes were glowing green.
There are a lot of these corpses and the quality is not low, although they have been stored for hundreds of years, but the preservation is okay, there is still a lot of energy in the corpses, if Wu Wei can absorb them all, then the strength will directly soar to the sky.
With such a level of proficiency in front of him, it is strange that Wu Wei is not moved.
However, this proficiency was not so easy for Wu Wei to take, and Xiaohong refused on the spot.
"No, this is the experimental material of the research institute, not the private property of the owner, it can only be used for experiments and cannot be given away!"
Hearing Xiaohong's categorical refusal, Wu Weixiao's heart hurt, and he struggled again who was unwilling to give up.
"Well, don't I have the highest authority?
"You do have the highest authority, but your authority is limited to visits and experiments, the institute is the common property of all human beings in the City of Hope, even the owner can't take the property of the institute to himself at will, this is the rule set by the master himself!"
Xiaohong rejected Wu Wei again.
However, the two refusals were not what made Wu Wei the most angry, what made Wu Wei a little unbearable was the look at Wu Wei when this guy said the last sentence.
The little eyes clearly said, 'It's all called Wu Wei, why is the gap in ideology and consciousness so big?'
was despised by such a robot, Wu Wei almost didn't come out with a mouthful of old blood, but even so, Wu Wei still didn't give up the idea of playing these experimental materials.
His eyes kept rolling, and he quickly caught the loophole.
"Then I don't take it, I can always use these experimental materials for experiments, right?
You've said it, I have permission to experiment!"
"Yes!"
This time, Xiaohong finally didn't refuse Wu Wei again, but before Wu Wei was happy, another basin of cold water came down from Xiaohong's side: "There are still hundreds of unfinished research projects in the research institute, and after you receive what the master left behind, you can choose one of the suitable projects for experimentation."
Of course, before the experiment, you need to pass the corresponding assessment to prove that you have the ability to complete the experimental project.
After all, all the experimental materials of the institute are selflessly contributed by all the human powerhouses in the City of Hope, and there can be no waste in the slightest. ”
"Well, I said, why did you say yes so easily?
Wu Wei's excited little mood disappeared most of it at once.
However, he was not completely disappointed, and he still had some confidence in his abilities.
As long as there is proficiency, there is no skill that he can't learn.
In contrast, he was a little worried about what this parallel world had left for him.
Wu someone, who is cautious by nature, always feels that this thing is getting weirder and weirder, and what Wu Wei left to himself in this world may not be a good thing.
But now, Wu Wei has no way out.
Everyone has come here, and Wu Wei knows very well that what people want to give him, he will probably want to or not.
He will turn around and leave, it is hard to say whether Xiaohong will turn his face, but Wu Wei is sure that he will still lick his face and come back.
There was no way, he had rummaged through the entire ruins, and he couldn't find a way to leave at all.
The only hope is in this institute, what else can Wu Wei do in this situation?
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!
"Let's go, take me to see what good things Wu Wei left me in this world!"
