Volume V, Chapter 37, The Sorrow of the Ants, 2120

Immortality, from then on, life becomes different. Of course, ordinary people don't dare to think about such a thing, only the emperor thousands of years ago, the first emperor in the history of country C, the first person to call himself an emperor, dared to think about this matter.

So, he sent thousands of boys and girls, with sincerity to a certain god, to the so-called Penglai Immortal Island to seek the elixir of immortality.

Sima Aya thought of this. She misses Yang Yiyi very much, and really thinks about it, how good it would be if she could live forever and be together with the two of them day and night.

SO, SHE QUICKLY CHECKED THE INFORMATION SHE HAD AND DECIDED TO GO TO RACCOOON CITY. IT SEEMS TO BE THE BIRTHPLACE OF EVERYTHING THERE, AND, UNTIL NOW, THERE WAS ALSO A SECRET RESEARCH BASE THERE, JUST EAST OF THE CITY OF RACCOOON.

If you can sneak in there, maybe ...... At this time, she had a mentality of getting rich overnight - she even hoped that she could find the kind of immortal medicine in RACCOON, take one pill, only need one night, and never worry about the old age of her life again.

The dream, the voice of the person in the dream still echoed in her mind at this moment, like a lingering incantation. She decides to get involved in this gamble, and if the Eternals really already exist, she wants to join and be one of them.

On Christmas Day in December 2119, Sima Aya left gifts in Dancy and Jacob's stockings, and then left the town on foot.

IN JANUARY 2120, SIMA AYA FINALLY ARRIVED IN THE CITY OF RACCOONN. Back to the motel a few years ago, when Yang Yiyi disappeared. It's just that things have changed, and the hotel has been abandoned.

The good thing is that there are now many abandoned houses and even towns on the land of country A as Sima Aya's hiding place. In order to ensure the absolute security of this mission, she did not use a fake identity and directly became an "invisible person", and the "invisible person" could not stay in a hotel often, so she had to use these abandoned houses frequently.

Compared to the previous training for survival in the wild, it seems that it is more difficult to survive in the wild in country A. Country A has a small population density and a large number of uninhabited areas, and most of the people in the western part of country A are now cowering in protected areas covered by "infrasonic towers", which makes the distribution of population even more uneven. No man's land has become more numerous.

For more than a month, Sima Aya has passed through many no-man's lands, among which the desert area is the most dangerous, not only is there no people, but there are not even abandoned houses. She had walked through so many areas, and in this season, the temperature during the day was not high, and the night was very cold, and she had to be very careful to make a fire to keep warm. Always keep an eye out for helicopters patrolling the sky.

NOW, FINALLY SEEING RACCOONN.

Sima Aya cautiously entered the motel and found that the water source had not been cut off, which was great. It should be because the water tower is not broken yet. At night, in the dark, she took a shower. The "femininity" of this body...... If this continues, the invisibility suit may not work - the invisibility suit will not cover the smell.

Extremely tired, she sat down on the floor and fell asleep.

THE NEXT DAY, SIMA AYA FOLLOWED THE DIRECTION OF THE GUIDE AND THE MAP, FOUND THE CITY OF RACCOON, AND SAW IT FROM A DISTANCE. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO OBSERVE FROM A CONDESCENDING POSITION, SHE CONDUCTED THE MOUNTAIN RANGE NORTH OF RACCOON.

Sima Aya hardly had any professional equipment, and when crossing the sea through the border, the main equipment, money...... Everything was lost, and now, except for a few things that I picked up along the way: look at what they were, children's toy binoculars, fruit knives, lighters......

LUCKILY, THE CHILDREN'S TELESCOPE IS ALSO A TELESCOPE, AND AT LEAST THEY CAN SEE THE LOCATION OF THE INFRASONIC TOWERS IN THE CITY OF RACCCCONN. It was so cold that her teeth chattered, and she didn't last long before she was back in the ruins of the inn. Sima Aya knew that if she continued like this, not to mention carrying out a mission in country A, she would probably freeze to death in this foreign wasteland.

However, before coming to country A, Sima Aya had studied that geothermal activity in country A had intensified, and the area around RACCOON happened to be an area of active geothermal activity, so she believed that it would not be difficult to find a warm cave in the mountains.

Moreover, after coming out of the town, she did find many caves with geothermal heat during the "march" on foot. What's more, the water source found in the mountains is also warm.

Sima Aya knew that many wilderness survival manuals were actually wrong, and water and food were not the most critical, the most deadly. The air is what it is: the temperature, and a large proportion of the failed wild survivors die from hypothermia, not from starvation or thirst, but from freezing – or heat.

So, if there was a hot spring on that mountain, Sima Aya didn't find it, but she was sure that there must be a hot spring there. Along the way, she found many hot springs.

A day later, Sima Aya found the hot spring, in a cave, a very spacious cave, although the entrance is small, but the inside is very wide, probably, it is precisely because of this narrow entrance that she was not able to find it at first.

Sima Aya looked around the hot springs and realized that she was not the first visitor. There are some traces of human activity near the hot springs: cigarette butts, bears in the forest don't smoke, and robots don't either—all, it should be every three or five days that someone comes to the hot springs to "be chic"—Sima Aya felt that this was an opportunity.

Three days later, one morning, someone did come. There are also two armed mechs to escort them. It was a couple of men, and of course, these men were accompanied by two very well-dressed girls. Sima Aya was wearing a spirit butterfly, standing nearby, and at a glance, she knew that she should want to go to the hot spring to "cook some broth" and be happy.

EVEN IF THEY RISK THEIR LIVES - THEY ARE FREE FROM THE PROTECTION OF THE INFRASONIC TOWERS IN THE CITY OF RACCOOON - THEY HAVE TO COME HERE TO FIND THE JOY OF LIFE - LIFE, AND, ALIVE BUT NOT DEAD, IN BOTH STATES, THE PEOPLE OF COUNTRY A SHOW THAT THEY KNOW VERY WELL WHAT LIFE IS, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM COUNTRY C, WHERE MOST PEOPLE DARE TO DO ANYTHING TO SAVE THEIR LIVES, AND COUNTRY A IS THE OTHER EXTREME, AND DARE TO TAKE ANY RISK FOR PLEASURE.

According to Sima Aya's understanding, there are still many courtyards and blockages in Las Vegas that are open as usual.

The thought of thinking about life only came to Sima Aya's mind for a second, and then, under the cover of the "Spirit Butterfly", she checked the clothes taken off by those who were bathing in the hot springs. The clothes were placed on a rock next to the hot springs.

In one of the garments was an access card that read: Senior System Administrator, DELL. Sima Aya secretly observed that DELL, the fat man, should have a high status in this group of "meatballs" who "cook soup", and the two bewitching girls gave priority to pleasing him from time to time, rather than pleasing the other two male surnames, and other people were also more flattering to this DELL - this is very good, although I don't know how high the authority of this access control card is, but now, I can only gamble. He's a senior engineer, not a trivial one.

In fact, speaking of which, the security technology of the access control card has been weakened and used more than 100 years ago, at that time, in order to strengthen the security guarantee, iris, fingerprint, face recognition and even DNA recognition are advanced "access control cards", however, Sima Aya found that in the current country A, advanced technology is not used. In fact, not only in country A, but also in country C, during the period when the cloned criminals began, many systems of iris, fingerprints, and face recognition were canceled, and in their place, old-fashioned access card security identification.

Obviously, people are cloned as a whole, and in the face of the crime of cloning, iris, fingerprints, and face recognition are ineffective security means. If you think about it carefully, if she didn't have this access card and had to use the iris of her eyeball to identify it, she really wouldn't be able to carry that DELL's eyeball in her pocket.

Those people were happily playing in the pool, smoking marijuana, Sima Aya suddenly thought, in fact, she should have thought a long time ago, for these people, is it possible for her to read his memories directly through telepathy, especially that DELL, if DELL knows any secrets, maybe she won't need to venture into the underground base of RACCOON. Wouldn't it be better to read it directly from his memory?

But the march on foot during this period did make Sima Aya a little exhausted, in fact, she now really wanted to wait for these people to leave and sleep here by herself, but she had to be vigilant. I don't know if it's because of the lack of physical strength, she can't sense the consciousness of these people. And she doesn't know what kind of people's consciousness can be perceived by herself, so far everything is just luck.

As for whether her sensing ability can be more clear and controllable, Sima Aya has actually been trying to find the answer in the dream mirror. However, I don't know why, in the last few nights, she has not been able to enter the dream mirror world to talk to B. Exhausted, every sleep is a short and dreamless sleep, close her eyes, open her eyes, and the sky will dawn.

SIMA AYA WAS THINKING ON THE SIDE, HOW COULD SHE FOLLOW THESE PEOPLE INTO RACCOOON CITY NOT FAR AWAY? - Since they came with women and food, the two mechs at the entrance of the cave must be a means of transportation. The mecha doesn't move fast, but Sima Aya's current physical strength really can't keep up with the mecha's moving speed. You know, the women, and the food, were brought up the mountain in a big box on the back of the machine. I really don't know how the people in the boxes endured the bumps along the way. Even with the cover of the spirit butterfly, it was obviously impossible for Sima Aya to squeeze into those boxes. She knew that she didn't have the physical strength to cling to the mecha now, that would be too dangerous, and if she fell, she would either die or be injured.
