The lid of the sleeping cabin slipped open silently, and Hao Renhu sat up from it all at once: "What's the situation now?" ”

The Terminal had previously transferred the dormant pod from the basement of his home to the bridge of the Giant Tortoise Rock, and now when Hao Ren opened his eyes, he saw the familiar scene of the spaceship control room. He saw a large holographic projection floating above the console in front of him, and a planet slowly falling into the sun was in the center of the picture. Lily next to him reached out and dragged him up from the sleeping pod: "See for yourself, I've never seen such a spectacular scene in my life anyway......"

Hao Ren came to the control platform and asked while adjusting the angle of the external monitor, "Where are we now?" ”

"The planet Zom is fifty thousand kilometers above the ground, and from the perspective of the sun and the planet, it is clearly visible here that the planet is ignited by the sun," replied the Counter at once, "judging by the planet's current orbit, it must have been gradually captured by the star two thousand years ago, and then slowly descended for twenty centuries. Now everything on the surface of the planet has been burned away, the temperature on the sunny side has reached thousands of degrees, and the earth's crust has melted and cracked on a large scale...... The sun's gravitational pull is tearing it apart, and it is estimated that it will first have to be torn to shreds before it can be burned to ashes. ”

Hao Ren didn't say anything, just frowned and looked at the scene outside the spaceship.

A young star about three times the mass of the Sun is illuminating this space, and its brilliant sea of fire corona occupies almost a third of the field of view of external monitors due to its close proximity. At this distance, the sun's brilliance can directly blind most creatures, so the Giant Tortoise Rock opened a daylight filter to reduce the power of the sun's rays. And in this boundless sea of fire. A small, dark brown planet is dragging a long tail flame towards the corona.

The planet had long since changed beyond recognition, and the sunlight had burned its surface. And partially melted the rock crust, and the mountains, rivers, and deep valleys and trenches that once existed on the planet are no longer distinguishable. As the earth's crust softens and collapses, they are all stacked on top of each other.

That's what Zom really looks like - while Nolan's reincarnation is a disaster, it's nothing compared to what happened in the real world.

Here's the truth: Nolan's "Zom" is indeed a virtual world, and its reincarnation is nothing more than a script that takes place in a large program. The real Zom is right in front of everyone's eyes, there is no trace of human civilization on it, and the whole planet is slowly sinking into the sun. Connecting these two points, Hao Ren believes that the virtual world that Nolan lives in should be something like a shelter, and its body is probably a giant server. Buried deep in the planet, humans have become ghosts in the server, hiding from the scorching sun of the real world in the virtual world.

As for the continuous "world reset" and the trend of the end of the world, it should be a problem with the server, perhaps it is the deterioration of the surface disaster that caused this failure, which led to the continuous restart of the virtual world, and the "script" is getting worse and worse.

There's still a lot to be explained about the whole process, but that's all that seems to be known so far. As for whether the "server" really exists, Hao Ren believes that as long as he enters the planet's underground, he can investigate it clearly.

"The planets are still spinning. The twelve-hour rotation is one week, during which the sunny side quickly melts and ejects a large amount of material under the sun's rays, while the sunny side quickly cools and solidifies, when the first rays of sunlight rise the next day. Those shells that have just solidified produce successive explosions that spread across the continent, a process that continues and exacerbates the process of disintegration of the planet. "The terminal releases a holographic projection, simulating the evolution of the planet's ongoing destruction process." There are no human remains visible on the surface, but there should be something like a shelter hidden deep underground: a virtual world shelter. Probably some kind of server or something. ”

"Is there a good place to land?" Hao Ren frowned at the thrilling scene in front of him, which was much more exciting than most of the battlefields he had experienced.

"Honestly, it's not suitable for anything, the surface of the planet is completely melted, and it's super hot everywhere, the ship itself is not afraid of this temperature, but it's not suitable for personnel to go out and work - your shield will deplete quickly, and other people's life support collars will run for a few hours at most."

Nangong May's tail was frightened, and she looked at the sea of fire stiffly: "Landlord...... You're not going to take someone up there, are you?! ”

As an aquatic creature, the sight of this scene of flames scorching the earth and the sky drying up was a huge shock to her, and the Siren girl felt like a salted fish and began to dehydrate.

"You can't just leave it alone, there are more than a billion people down here," Hao Ren knocked on the platform, "Terminal, land on the back sun, choose the alternate line of day and night, and try to fight for as many hours of work as possible." ”

The Giant Tortoise Rock caught up with Zom in the blazing sunlight and slowly descended on the part of the planet's surface that had just fallen into the night. In this position, the sun had just set over the horizon a few minutes earlier, and the hellish day had ended, but the night that followed was not cool: the earth was still thousands of degrees hot, the lava had not had time to cool in many places, and the ground was crisscrossed with rivers of magma and still erupting steam vents of rock, even worse than the world inhabited by demons.

But this is already a rare "safe zone", at least not where the sun shines, and without the illumination of that deadly star, everyone's shields can hold on more.

After landing on the spacecraft, the terminal reported on the surrounding situation: "The radar shows that there is a rift three hundred meters ahead, and it is very unusual for there to be a rift in such a crust, which may be the entrance to the shelter. The scale of the rift is less than 100 meters, and the spacecraft cannot enter, so you can only explore it yourself. ”

Hao Ren checked the state of his shield, and then issued an extra set of life support collars to everyone who was going to disembark with him. Due to the harsh environment this time, he only chose a few people in the team who could best resist the harsh environment: Lily and Vivien. There are also the Izax father and daughter.

May and Elsa are krakens and are most afraid of dehydration. Nangong Sanba and Nangong Invincible are both half-hung witchers, and their strength is insufficient in this case. They can only stand by on the ship.

"Put on both life support collars, switch to the second one immediately when the energy of the first collar is insufficient, don't feel sorry for the energy," Hao Ren explained to everyone, especially Lily, who is always unreliable, "With your physique, you can resist for a while after the collar energy is exhausted, and don't be reckless when the time comes, and directly teleport and withdraw." Got it? ”

Lily happily tied a collar around her neck while holding her chest very confidently: "You know, isn't it just cowardice, I'm good at it." ”

Itzhax glanced outside with a smile: "This place is quite suitable for our father and two - I somehow remembered my hometown, and the place where I bathed was similar to this at that time." Elizabeth and I should be able to explore a little further later. ”

Hao Ren hurriedly reminded him: "You take it easy, when the sun rises, it is not the same concept as now, and demons can't carry high-energy particles." ”

"Roll" squatted next to the chair and watched everyone busy, and suddenly tugged on the corner of Hao Ren's clothes: "Big cat, are you going to take an adventure?" ”

Hao Ren hadn't noticed that this guy was there before (mainly because this stupid cat was too used to finding a horn and a cat), so he was stunned: "Eh." Why did she come along? ”

The number jù terminal shouted: "Didn't you say that you want to pull out all the combat power in the family!" There's still Doudou in the pot behind you, but she's asleep again. ”

Hao Ren then remembered that he had indeed given such an order before, but now he only felt a big head: how could he know that the real situation of Zhuo Mu was so thrilling at that time. I thought that calling a few gold medal thugs and an armed spaceship would be enough to deal with the scene, at most there would be another one-shot enmity, but I looked at the current situation...... Just "roll", in addition to being able to manage a cat, can you also manage a hair?

"Roll" unrelentingly tugged at his master's clothes and snorted. Obviously, he wanted to go out with him, and Hao Ren pressed the cat girl's head when he saw this: "You know the dried fish, right?" ”

The cat girl immediately purred and nodded vigorously.

"Did you see that scene outside?" Hao Ren pointed to the scorching earth displayed on the holographic projection. "If you're going out, just be careful. In an instant, it will become drier than a small dried fish. ”

The silly cat thought about it, and went to sleep under the chair very reservedly.

Hao Ren led the team out of the spaceship, and the moment he came outside, he seemed to feel a heat wave rushing towards him.

However, this was only his delusion, the impression he had made from the sight of the planet falling into the sun and the magma overflowing on the surrounding ground. The shield was well shielded from the heat outside, including the temperature of the ground from under his feet, at least until the shield energy was exhausted, and he didn't need to use his body to resist this thousand-degree human purgatory.

Although he felt that his strengthened body should be able to carry it for a while, he didn't plan to really try this kind of sour human flesh drying feeling.

Elizabeth jumped on the ground and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! The ground is still soft! ”

"After all, the sun has just passed, and the ground hasn't had time to harden completely." Lily analyzed it professionally, and then unconsciously attracted attention by a golden streamer on the horizon.

That's the direction in which sunlight disappears: even though the planet's atmosphere has burned dry, each time the sunlight sweeps out, a large amount of rock vapor and other gases erupt into the air, and these gases follow the line of day and night, forming a huge wall of gas that sweeps over the planet's surface, and this wall of gas magnifies the already huge corona like a lens, so that the golden streamer that covers the entire horizon in the distance is formed.

Although it is essentially a heat storm of two or three thousand degrees, it is still beautiful to look at from afar.

Lily looked at the streamer formed by the corona for a while, and suddenly sighed softly, Hao Ren knew that this girl who was very literary and artistic in her bones should have felt something again.

"The dog is blind."

Lily sighed. (To be continued......)
