Chapter 738: A Crazy and Confused World
The facility, once known as the Northland Ring Tower, but now mutated into a mountain launch site, is full of sporadic battles and chaos, with perhaps hundreds of soldiers vying for control of the place - although this qiΔ is just a farce that began an hour ago, it seems as if they have been fighting like this for more than a decade. Hao Ren and Nolan dodged the soldiers on the road as much as possible, trying to find a safe path to the outside world in this complex and sprawling building, and there were several inevitable encounters in between, but fortunately the opponents were ordinary people, and they didn't run around with rocket launchers like Nolan did, so it was relatively easy to solve.
As time passed, the surrounding firefighting seemed to subside slightly, and Hao Ren muttered, "It seems that the regular army is almost completely occupying this place." β
"There may be explosives underneath this facility, so it's not a good idea to stay for long," Nolan muttered, not slowing down at all, but slightly raising the short staff in his hand, "Thank you for your weapon, this thing is really good to use." β
Although she couldn't master this weapon from Erim's elves anytime soon, the staff's shield function had helped her fend off danger more than once: after all, even with the ultimate human combat skills, her body was still mortal, and it was not easy to navigate this facility full of enemy soldiers.
Hao Ren nodded, and suddenly saw a bright light appear in front of him: "It seems to be an exit over there!" β
Nolan immediately cautiously slowed down: "Beware of ambushes. β
She and Hao Ren stopped, but the number of terminals ran over carelessly: "Go over and explore the way!" Hao Ren didn't catch that speed all of a sudden.
Nolan was stunned when he looked at it from behind: "This is the most agile cerebral thrombosis patient I have ever seen......"
Hao Ren took two steps forward and grabbed the number of terminals: "You don't want to die?!" β
The terminal shook his head: "It's okay, the unit is dead anyway." If you don't believe it, you haven't had a heartbeat yet. It is estimated that even if you let people open a hole, they will not die. β
Nolan has seen Hao Ren and his cerebral thrombosis "partner" more than once along the way, and he has long been out of the mood to inquire about the reason. She confirmed the situation at the exit and beckoned to the two: "Come on, the front is safe." β
The group of three finally got out of this complicated and somewhat overly huge facility, and when they came out of a secret hole on the hillside, Hao Ren was startled by the situation in front of him, and he was stunned for a long time.
He saw a large expanse of lofty mountains spread out in front of him, with almost no end in sight, the sky was high and clear, and a clear blue sky made people almost dizzy to look at. He still had in his mind the cloudy sky covered with thick smoke and dust on the previous planet Zhuom, and even the sun could not show his face, and the clear sky in front of him made him suddenly suspect that he had arrived in another world.
If there's one regrettable sight in the clear-skied mountains, it's that there is little vegetation on the mountain, with only a few low, sparse shrubs and trees scattered on the desolate stony slopes, but even so, the sight is far more pleasing to the eye than the desperate post-war wasteland that preceded it.
Counting her eyes when she looked back, she saw that the group had come out of a cave on the hillside, and the previous facility had turned out to be a hidden castle hidden in the mountain, and even the passage in front of her had been disguised as an ordinary cave.
The terminal shook his head: "This body is really troublesome. I have to twist my neck to see behind me, and sometimes I have to twist my body if I don't have enough to twist my neck - I can't believe how you humans take this inferior bearing between the head and the shoulders for granted......"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "You take it easy, the raven is also human-shaped." β
"Do you think she really needs to see the world with her eyes, cut?"
Nolan looked suspiciously at the strange combination in front of him, who seemed to be both neurotic. Then he walked to the side of the hillside: "This place should not stay for a long time, move to a safe place first." Come with me, there should be a vehicle here. β
Hao Ren followed behind Nolan curiously. As he walked, he asked, "How do you know?" Hasn't the world changed? β
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a strange-looking modified vehicle parked behind a rock in front of him. The car had four large wheels connected by multiple crankshafts, and a body mounted on a complex suspension system. It seems to be completely prepared for off-road in harsh and complex environments, and it is more like a spider machine with wheels than a car. It's exactly what Nolan said: there's a vehicle here, and it's easy to look at.
Nolan beckoned, motioned for Hao Ren to follow the terminal to get into the car, and then neatly climbed into the driver's seat, and began to fumble with the complex button switches and the steering system that looked very different from the Earth car, it seemed that she was also touching this thing for the first time, but after a moment of fumbling, she knew how to start the big thing: with a sound of engines, the spider-like car lifted its body and drove down the gentler course on the hillside.
Nolan only had time to answer Hao Ren's question at this time: "Of course, it is by memoryβI don't know where the memory came out." However, I have a special constitution, and as a price for being able to remember my past experiences, my freshman memories are very vague, and it takes days to piece together a rough idea of what my new identity is. Isn't your situation different? β
Nolan said and glanced at Hao Ren curiously: "Do you know what your identity is 'this time'?" Or at least some vague information comes to mind? β
Hao Ren has this setting: "I don't feel anything." β
"Maybe we're not in the same situation," Nolan said casually, "you're the first memory holder I've ever met, and I'm not sure every one of them is the same." β
From Nolan's words, Hao Ren guessed the other party's current situation: she did retain the memory of the last "reincarnation", but at the same time, she was also affected by this "reincarnation", and some memories were forming in her mind out of thin air, and these memories may be the false life experiences that this world attached to her out of thin air.
Until an hour ago, Nolan's life history belonged to this life.
It's easy to understand: if the whole world has only one hour to live from its birth to the present, how do you convince people that they are living in a normal and orderly world? The only way to do this is to make them believe in their birth, in their upbringing, in their experiences, in their relationships, that they have known a friend since 10 years ago, that they have loved someone since 20 years ago, that they have lived somewhere since 30 years ago, that their whole life and the whole world before them are so full and real - but in reality, This qiΔ was injected into your brain at some point an hour and 14 minutes ago.
Perhaps this is true for everyone in the world, except for Nolan.
As the sun sets, Hao Ren and Nolan believe they've left every pursuer behind them - or maybe no one at all. Anyway, they found a cave big enough to hide the strange mountain bike and the three men, and after making sure there was no trace outside, they finally settled down.
"I don't like caves," Nolan frowned, "I was smoked to death in a cave once." β
The corpse terminal also shouted: "This machine doesn't like caves either, you use this machine as a flashlight every time......"
"Get out, go to the corner and rest, I'm going to be tired this time, I won't carry you!"
"Oh."
Nolan looked at the blonde girl limping to the corner of the cave: "Is she really just a cerebral thrombosis?" β
Hao Ren: "...... You act like there's something sick in every part of her brain, and I don't mind. β
"I thought you were very close," Nolan gave Hao Ren a deep look, "The scene you used to run around with her on your back touched even Carl, including me...... Don't sue me, I've been deceived by appearances. β
Hao Ren smiled dryly: "This ...... In a sense...... Forget it, let's talk about the world. β
"This world?" The brilliance in Nolan's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her eyelids tiredly, "All I know is that this world is crazy and deranged. As you can see...... It's always reset, it's changing, it's evolving, it's like a bad director behind the scenes, and I can't remember how many absurd and weird 'stage plays' I've experienced. (To be continued......)
