Hao Ren rubbed his forehead and tried to grasp the residual feeling in his heart, but the sound that had sounded in his mind had faded like a dream. He checked the previous mental communication records and found that it was blank, and ASanbaA did not speak at all.
"I seemed to hear someone talking," Hao Ren exhaled, turning his head to look at the monitor on the carriage. It seemed that the team had already crossed the river, and the river bank on the other side was shining not far away. Mention that this world can't support anything ... "
"Your dreams are always special, don't look down on them," ASanbaA is hard to take seriously. "You seem to have the ability to use dreams to communicate with other consciousnesses."
"I know, I know, but this time the" connection "is too short, I can't catch the clue. But I feel that this time it is correct to come to the Northland Ruins, this place must be from this planet The key ... aura always appears at the center of the incident, isn't it. "
The three armored vehicles crossed the frozen Grey River without incident, and the mercenaries were greeted by a dead world that was more desolate than the wasteland outside, and everything here was more strange. The camera came from the front and sides of the armored car. Hao Ren saw the earth glowing with silver and gray light. Everything was covered with the same gloss, as if the entire world had been transformed into a piece of metal. There are no plants, no buildings, or even a normal-shaped stone on this silver-grey ground. All you can see is some weird ridges and round towers. They are like a melted cheese and integrated into the ground. The light of the armored vehicle is reflected on its smooth surface, and the hazy light is continuously refracted among a large number of such metal structures, showing a strange appearance.
Hao Ren struggled to think about what the scenery in front of him looked like, and finally he finally thought of one thing: the melting city.
It's like casting a world of equal proportions from metal, and then letting them melt to half and then suddenly cooling, it should be this kind of thing.
"The Great Plains of Steel ..." A young soldier with a gun looked nervously at all this, "Is everything turned into metal?"
“It ’s not a metal, the nanomachines do n’t have the ability to change the physical properties, they just make these things look like their own materials,” Ulanov said, touching the armor plate behind him with a gun, “Welcome to come In Jiuxingzhou City, you are driving on the wreckage of 6.53 million citizens and 200,000 buildings-including one of my legs, one arm, all my livers and three quarters Lungs. Now I really ca n’t find them. "
The young soldier turned his head oddly: "Your joke is never funny."
Ulanov laughed hoarsely twice. Obviously he was still very satisfied with his "visceral joke". Hao Ren couldn't help but bring a strange emotion when looking at the scene outside the car: the silver-clad ground outside was the product of the raging of the nanocomputer cluster. They looked strange and beautiful, but they were countless people. The bones and ruins of the city piled up. Those tall bumps and round towers that look like melting ice cream should be the large buildings that used to be. If you blow them up, can you still find a few artificial traces inside? If you dig this land deep, will you still be able to find the remains of the city's subway and remaining pipelines?
Maybe nothing can be found. The nanomachine cluster may have infiltrated this land, transforming the entire northland ruin group from deep underground into its own domain. In short, everything can only be guessed. Everything that happened here is unknown. The silver gray ground is buried in areas that humans cannot touch. Since sixty-five years ago, no one can understand these nanocomputer clusters. What are you doing on this land?
Similar thoughts are also pervading among other mercenaries. Even these crude people who make a living by fighting, ca n’t help but feel a lot of emotion when facing the ruins of the Northland: fear and awe let them Become sensitive. But Nolan just yawned boredly after seeing the reactions of the people around him, and seemed to lack interest.
The night is gradually coming, the sky shrouded in dust and fog has no stars and no moon, and it is dark: in fact, humans on this planet have not seen the starry sky for decades. However, instead of stopping the team, Nolan ordered to speed up. She said that when the nanometer cluster is the least active under the night, the scary little devil still needs to rely on solar energy to provide part of the energy, although they can also be active at night, but The response is much slower than during the day.
According to Nolan ’s calculations, if the journey goes well, you should be able to reach the North Ring Tower before the sun rises, just staggering the moment when the nanomachine cluster is reactivated.
The armored vehicle is passing between two towering silver-gray "hills", and the glare lights illuminate the metal "hills" on both sides, reflecting a circle of illusion. Ulanov looked at the two symmetrical "hills" and said in a low voice: "This must be the Rock? Linton Twin Towers, they used to be the tallest buildings in the world. I have been there a few times in this city While still alive. "
"Yes, the world's tallest building, when the fleet was out of control, set a world record for the largest number of instant deaths in the same building, but it was refreshed in the fourth year by the Big Bang Refuge No. 3," Nolan said, pressing the communicator next to it, "all vehicles, turn off the lights, use ultrasonic waves to detect the path. In front of this is a dangerous area. The strong light may activate some nanomachines with less sleep."
The three armored vehicles turned off their respective lights. After losing the only light, this little convoy was more like a few wandering souls wandering in the silent hell. In this cold, dead, desolate world, everything seems to be small and fragile, and the thick armor plate can not bring people a sense of security. There is no situation that makes people clearly aware of their distance from the living world like here. How far away — and the direction of the team is still deeper into the depths of death.
On a boring and sleepy journey, Hao Ren was confused many times between half a dream and half awake, but never heard anything strange again. In the end he found a dim light in the sky outside, and the armored vehicle was passing a huge silver-white barrier. The material of this barrier is obviously different from the silver-gray substance formed by the nanocomputer cluster, and its regular appearance also makes it obvious that it is from the hands of humans. It is dozens of meters high and looks indestructible, but it broke a huge hole in the lower part, and the hole looks like it is melted out by high temperature.
The armored vehicles lined up through the holes under the barrier. Ulanov patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "This is the first hole that eroded when the fleet was out of control. They were originally from across the barrier. Flowed out of the container. Of course, now that the container has been swallowed clean, and there are no nanomachine clusters across the barrier, they are all transferred to the gray river in the outer area, the reason is unknown. "
After passing through the hole, Hao Ren finally saw the natural rock soil for a long time, and the plants that have grown seriously between the rock gaps and have been seriously mutated and twisted. He knew that he arrived in the central hinterland of the ruins of the Northland, a final island that was not eroded under the feeding of the nanomachine group.
Nolan raised his hand and pointed to the center of the screen of the monitor: "That's the North Tower."
In the hinterland of the Northland Ruins, the former outer wall of the Nanami Formation formed a partition barrier like a crater, dividing the dissolved waste soil outside from the normal land around the ring tower into two distinct areas. The Beidi ring tower is located on a high hill, it is more than 400 meters high, and is composed of three conical spires arranged in a symmetrical zigzag shape. The top and half waist of this three tower building are installed with a huge ring Facilities, they are the origin of the name "Ring Tower".
The two huge ring-shaped facilities are antennas. In the era when the computer was not down, they released signals to control the surrounding nanocomputer cluster.
After seeing the ring tower, the mercenaries were relieved. They knew that the most dangerous area had passed safely. At least before returning, they did not have to worry about being swallowed by the nanocomputer cluster. The armored car drove all the way to the half waist of the hill, and the road ahead had completely collapsed, and the vehicle could not pass, but the entrance of the ring tower was already in sight. Nolan ordered everyone to get off and walk to the building.
Ulanov and Hao Ren got off together. He looked up at the building that had been away for sixty-five years and took a deep breath.
Then I walked forward in great strides. (To be continued.)
