After hearing Nolan's words, Hao Ren didn't react at once: "The world is on fire?!" ”

There was a brief silence on Nolan's side, as if organizing the language, and in the background of the communication channel, a faint noise and explosion could be heard in the distance, and after a few seconds Nolan spoke again: "I don't know how to describe it...... Everything is suddenly spontaneously combusting, including water and stones. I watched a building suddenly burn like cotton. Now the streets outside are full of refugees...... Humans themselves are the only thing that does not spontaneously combust at the moment. ”

"Spontaneous combustion?! Water and stones? Hao Ren's heart fluttered, and at the same time, the rock formations around him began to vibrate again, and streams of scorching underground steam blew through this passage rapidly, despite the shield barrier, he could still feel that this burst of heat was enough to melt gold and iron, and the situation that happened in the virtual world was instantly linked to the situation in front of him, and the answer was very obvious, "It may be that the disaster in the real world has affected the virtual space......"

Another loud sound of rock formations collapsing came from nearby, and Lily immediately grabbed Hao Ren's arm and dragged him forward: "Landlord, let's go, it's not safe here!" ”

Hao Ren was dragged forward by Lily and quickly asked Nolan about the situation: "How are you doing now?" Has the fire spread around you? ”

"The spontaneous combustion seems to have stopped for the time being, and my side is some distance from the fire, so there should be no problem for a while," Nolan said urgently, "but I can't put out the fires that I saw before...... You're in the real world, right? Now I believe you, very much - what the hell is going on out there?! ”

To be honest, Nolan still doesn't know how to confirm that Hao Ren is really from the real world. But the current situation makes these details seem irrelevant. An earth-shattering vision is taking place in the world before her in a way that has not happened in countless previous reincarnations: the previous world script, no matter how crazy it is, at least remains "reasonable". And the ubiquitous sea of fire in front of you is like a nightmare that defies the laws of nature. thought of Hao Ren, who suddenly disappeared, and the words that the other party said before leaving. Nolan can only use the "real world" as the last straw for now.

"The outside world is also burning...... In fact, the whole planet is slowly falling into the sun, and I am afraid that it is this situation that affects the virtual world," Hao Ren described the situation in the real world as briefly as possible, and then suddenly remembered that the communicator has a projection function, "You open the lid under the communicator, there is a blue button, press it, and I will send you some pictures." ”

Moments later, Hao Ren teleported to Nolan the sight of Zom gradually sinking into the sun, as well as the underground bunker in front of him.

"As you can see. That's what the real world looks like out there...... It was destroyed thousands of years ago or even longer, and the planet should have warmed up two or three thousand years ago. We haven't found any remnants of human civilization on the surface of the planet, but there is a huge shelter underneath, and we were lucky enough to find the entrance to the shelter and are now trying to find a way to get into the core of the vault. ”

Nolan looked at the image of the terrifying sea of sun and fire in front of her, and seemed to have forgotten how to speak for a while, the knowledge and experience she had accumulated through countless reincarnations suddenly became a joke, and those things were useless in the face of the truth of this world.

The reality of the world stunned Nolan for a long time, under normal circumstances. It will take a lot of effort for anyone to come to terms with this shocking truth. However, time waits for no one now, and she can only force herself to accept the reality immediately and find a way to do something. Fortunately, the composure she had cultivated in the sand could still play a slight role, and she patted her cheek to calm down: "What can I do here?" ”

"Feel free to report what's going on in the virtual world. Keep in touch, maybe my PDA...... Patti is able to analyze the location of the server based on these signals. The other thing is to protect yourself, this reincarnation is probably really the last. If you die this time...... Then I really can't survive. ”

Nolan snorted, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you going to do?" ”

"Find the server that generated the virtual world. All of humanity should be stored in there, and I have a spaceship here. You can move the server," Hao Ren said his plan in a relaxed tone as much as possible, as if everything was ready, and things would really develop so easily, "Don't worry, I've done all the relocation work on a larger scale than this one—it won't be much more difficult to move you than to move a large computer room." ”

Nolan seemed to be relieved, and she took a few breaths: "Okay, I trust you...... There's nothing else to believe anyway. Good luck with you. ”

"Peace be upon you, shelter from the fire."

After the communication was hung up, the voice of the terminal suddenly interjected: "You didn't tell her that this planet can only last for more than forty hours." ”

"Be as optimistic as possible - we've got more than forty hours to clean up this mess," Hao Ren exhaled, "just find it before the server burns up......"

"If you actually have a way to move the servers out, given the size of the vault and the complexity underground, you might need a lot of construction machinery to do that, and you'll have a longer ......."

"Okay, we'll talk about this when we find the server," Hao Ren interrupted the analysis of the terminals, "Now give me a more precise guide, the general location of the server - you've been scanning for so long, you should make some progress, right?" ”

The number jù terminal paused for a few seconds, as if to summarize the number jù, and then reported: "Maintaining the current direction, you are heading to the depths of the Vault, and this machine has scanned a large number of current signals underground, distributed in a network around the Vault and its perimeter, which should be the server's power supply system. A major node is a few kilometers ahead of you, and you should be able to at least touch the edge of the system by then. ”

Hao Ren: They need to find a virtual world server beneath this planet on the verge of collapse - such an urgent search cannot be done by luck and impulse. The path of the crowd is indicated by the ship's radar, and the number of terminals is constantly analyzing the energy response of suspected server signals deep in the formation, which is not very precise but the general direction can be guaranteed. So although the crowd looked like headless flies burrowing in the holes, they were actually heading deeper into the shelter.

This is evident from the widening corridors and the increasingly common equipment rooms: they are already very close to the core of this artificial bunker.

At present, this section of the road has been squeezed by a certain amount of dù, and the superalloy walls on both sides are often cracked, and some dark red rocks are squeezed into the corridor through the cracks, looking like solidified resin seeping through the cracks. Lily casually cut a small stone from it with her paw and put it in her pocket, turned her head and asked, "How long have we been drilling here?" ”

Vivien took out her phone and looked at the time: "Not counting the time on the surface before, we have been underground for three hours, and according to the rotation cycle of this planet, more than half of the night has passed. ”

Hao Ren connected to the communication with the spacecraft: "Terminal, how is the situation above?" ”

"The good news is that the sun is coming to its quietest moment, and the next two or three hours of formation activity will be reduced to its lowest value, and the bad news is that after three hours the sun will rise, and the sun will heat up the rock formations above you, everything will be active, and it will be very exciting to stay down there, you'd better find a server before then, or you'll have to go back early," the terminal reported, suddenly raising his voice, "There's also bad news- A few seconds ago, the probe released by this machine captured a sudden large-scale magma sac explosion on the sunny side, and a piece of crust about the size of South America was blown into space, and it is estimated that there will be an earthquake on your side in ten minutes. ”

"Earthquake...... The earthquake here is almost like drinking water," Hao Ren looked at the clods of earth and stones falling from the top of his head, and sighed with a wry smile, "The real bad news is that the planet is about to reach a tipping point, the earth's crust is beginning to be stripped by the sun, as long as one point is breached, I am afraid that the next thing will be like a domino chain collapse." ”

"You can't be wrong with this machine's calculations, and the planet will be able to hold on until the fourth sunrise. Of course, it's hard to say whether the shelter below will hold out. ”

“…… This is really an auspicious word for you. Hao Ren said, hanging up the communication.

They continued to weave their way between the seemingly never-ending, downward sloping passages and shafts, and at some point accelerated to the point of almost falling into the cracks that suddenly appeared in the road. Luckily, the path was accurate, and the road in front of them was getting wider and wider, and massive caverns and structures that looked like abandoned settlements appeared. The latter may be the last group of Djom people to live in the real world, but unfortunately the settlement is so abandoned that there is no way to connect to the virtual world.

As they entered another large cavern, Lily, who was running around as a scout, suddenly exclaimed, "Come and see this, everyone!" ”

The group approached Lily, and a large, root-like cylinder passed through the rock formation and lay in front of everyone.

"If I'm not mistaken...... Hao Ren swallowed, "This is the tentacle ...... of the eldest son" (to be continued......)
