Chapter 030: The Final Bottom Line

Su Hao drove away from the battle scene for less than three minutes, and the vision in front of him suddenly brightened, as if the sun had enveloped the entire earth after closing the distance, and then he heard a deafening explosion from behind, and the shock wave that followed was directly blowing. The powerful air wave carried a large puff of gravel and dust, like a sandstorm on the desert running across the bottom of the car, almost overturning the Dodge charger!

Under the impact of the strong shock wave caused by the explosion, the heavy body of the Dodge charger actually jumped off the ground on four wheels like a fish, jumped out of thin air, and when it rose to the highest point, it fell heavily.

Through the rearview mirror, Su Hao suddenly saw that at the place where the two of them fought with the Terminator T-750 two minutes ago, two mushroom clouds were rising like two fireworks in full bloom. The abandoned bus car turned into a temporary board house and the fence made of barbed wire and iron sheets have been completely blown away, and I don't know how many fragments have broken into pieces, and then they fell down like colorful rain, smashing on the roof of the car, making a rhythmic clanging sound.

Of course, with an explosion of this magnitude, the space-time nodes set up there were naturally not spared, and they were immediately blown to pieces by the shock wave.

Looking at this tragic explosion scene, Su Hao couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although this is a plain terrain, he still did not expect that the self-destruction of the wreckage of the T-750 would cause such a powerful explosion, and the aftermath of the explosion would spread thousands of kilometers away. If this is placed in a densely populated urban area, under the barrier of various reinforced concrete buildings, the power of the explosion should be greatly limited, but the casualties caused by it may only be much more.

At the same time, under the impact of such a powerful explosion, the wreckage of the Terminator at the core of the explosion has been blown to pieces, flying out of an unknown distance, even with the most advanced metal detection technology, it is impossible to find their existence.

The apprentice was shocked by the explosion, and his whole body fell from the back seat, and then he woke up. He glanced in front of him and found that it was a familiar back sitting in the driver's seat, and then he was relieved.

Hearing the sound, Su Hao glanced in the central rearview mirror and saw the awakened apprentice sitting on the seat with his forehead pressed, and couldn't help asking:

"Are you alright?"

Although he had a splitting headache and fine beads of sweat on his forehead, the apprentice shook his head with a smile and replied, "Don't worry, it's just an overuse of your brain, and you can come back to full blood after another 5 hours of sleep." ”

Su Hao relieved himself, nodded, and continued to drive forward.

Knowing that at this time, there was still a large amount of yellow dust blowing through the broken front and rear windows under the strong wind, flying in, the apprentice saw this, and immediately glanced in the rearview mirror, and saw two mushroom clouds rising, and couldn't help asking: "This is... Self-detonation caused by the wreckage of the T-750? ”

Su Hao nodded, and then showed the explosion warning prompt sent by the Nightmare Mark to the apprentice.

After reading the prompt, the apprentice said: "The power is really not small, you can still feel the aftermath of the explosion at this distance, and it is conservatively estimated that there are 6 or 7 tons of TNT equivalent... Unfortunately, this is a wilderness, and if the explosion site was in downtown Los Angeles, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

He thought about it again and said, "It seems that Nightmare Space doesn't want us to get the wreckage of the T-750, so it has implanted an explosion program in the T-750's system. ”

Su Hao nodded: "I also think so, the Nightmare Space will not easily let us get far more than we have paid." ”

The apprentice leaned back in his chair, looked at the mushroom cloud in the rearview mirror, thought for a moment, and said:

"It can be inferred from the early warning from the Nightmare Mark that the countdown to the self-detonation of the T-750 after it was destroyed was 5 minutes, and the difference in the destruction time of the two T-750s was 144 seconds, but in the end they blew up at the same time, probably because the self-detonation of the first wreckage triggered a chain reaction, which caused the self-detonation of the second wreckage in the area to be brought forward."

Su Hao was stunned, he didn't expect this layer at all.

But he immediately realized what that meant: "What do you mean, if we encounter two or more Terminators traveling together, and destroy the first one, we will start counting the self-detonation time?" ”

The apprentice nodded and said, "Yes, if we destroy the first Terminator, we can no longer be obsessed with expanding the results of the battle. If you are not sure that you can destroy more Terminators before you have enough time to escape, you must resolutely flee the scene, get out of the fight, and keep a safe distance, otherwise the chain reaction caused by the explosion will involve us all in this disaster. ”

Su Hao nodded, agreed, and asked, "Is there a way for you to delay the countdown to the T-750's self-detonation?" ”

The apprentice shook his head and said, "There's not much to do right now, but if I can access the Terminator's control system, maybe there's a chance... There's only a chance to crack its self-destruct program, or at least slow down the countdown to its self-detonation. ”

Su Hao nodded, showed a hint of a smile, and said: "That's great, what I'm most worried about now is that if I encounter those terminators in a densely populated urban area, I will definitely injure a lot of innocent people by mistake, but since you think you have a chance to crack its self-destruct program, then I will have a lot less concerns." ”

The apprentice showed a playful smile: "I thought that after becoming a contractor, no matter how kind a person is, he will be slowly assimilated into a beast by this world, but now it seems that you are an accident. ”

Su Hao raised his head slightly, glanced at the smiling face of the apprentice reflected in the central rearview mirror, smiled and said, "It's not a last resort, who is willing to kill innocents indiscriminately?" To this day, I have always believed that the indiscriminate killing of innocent people must be an eternal lone wolf. ”.

The apprentice's expression softened unusually softly, and he smiled warmly, and said:

"Through the conversation just now, I am even more convinced that teaming up with you is the right choice."

Su Hao also smiled: "Why? Wouldn't a contractor who doesn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately hold you back? ”

The apprentice shook his head and said, "On the contrary, my back can only be handed over to a conscientious teammate. You seem to be soft-hearted, but you have your bottom line, and in my opinion, people with bottom lines are trustworthy people. But as a teammate, I have a corny question for you. ”

"What?"

The apprentice asked, "Which is more important in your heart, a teammate or an innocent stranger?" ”

Su Hao replied without hesitation: "Of course it's a teammate." ”

The apprentice asked, "Why?" ”

Su Hao said seriously: "Teammates are my final bottom line." ”

"What if you have to kill someone you shouldn't have to kill?"

"Then you have to force it."

Seeing this, the apprentice nodded, and said with a smile: "You can weigh this clearly, it seems that I am not wrong." But I would like to add that it's not just the lives of your teammates, you have to value your own lives. As for your concerns, don't worry, I'll find a way to solve them... I had a bit of a headache, so I'll sleep first. ”

After the apprentice finished speaking, he leaned back in the back of his seat, let out a slight snoring sound, and apparently fell asleep for a second.

Su Hao drove a car, and after finding the nearest auto repair shop, he spent two hundred dollars to replace the front and rear windows.
