"No! We can't go to Mexico! I can't just watch a nuclear war break out!" John Connor shouted to his father, "We have to stop this!"
"It's too late. The first nuclear bomb was launched at 6:18." Dad said coldly.
"today?!"
"correct!"
"There are still seven hours left. It's still in time!" John Connor encouraged himself, "We can contact the military now. With you here, they will believe it!"
"Are you dreaming?" Nie Lu rolled his eyes. "Open your phone and take a look."
John Connor took out his cell phone and the signal displayed on the phone was zero bars.
"how so?"
"As time goes by towards the launch of Skynet, the world's networks will become worse and worse, and the first to be reflected will be in the civilian network." Nie Lu explained, "That's why Katie had to call many times before she could get through."
"What should I do! You are also from the future! Tell me how I can stop this!" John Connor placed his hope on Nie Lu.
Nie Lu leaned back and observed the three people in the car. "I think T-850 is right. You should consider protecting yourself now. As the leader of the resistance army, you cannot die."
"As the leader of the resistance, I command you! Tell me what to do!" John Connor roared.
"I don't have to obey your orders before the nuclear bomb explodes." Dad said without turning his head, "My current mission is to protect your lives."
John Connor looked at Nie Lu.
"Don't look at me, I'm not from the rebel army and I've never listened to your orders." Nie Lu said calmly.
"You want me to hide and wait until the nuclear war breaks out? That's impossible!" John Connor said as he placed the knife in his hand next to his neck.
"You can't end yourself!" Dad finally reacted.
"I can't?? I can do whatever I want! I'm a human, not a robot!"
"I'm not a robot, I'm a computer just an organism..."
"Whatever. If I can't stop Skynet and nuclear war now, then the great John Connor doesn't have to live! Because this is not the future I want at all!" John Connor said seriously.
"Based on the size of your pupils and your body temperature, there's an 83% chance that you won't do it." Dad looked at John Connor and said, extending his hand towards him.
"Hey, it's your turn to speak." Nie Lu looked at Katie.
Katie was now in a state of complete confusion. "I speak? What should I say?"
"Whatever, you modified his underlying program, so guess who he listens to now?" Nie Lu reminded.
"Stop! I...I order you to take us to stop the nuclear war now!" Katie said loudly.
"… "
"The estimated time is two hours. The exact time will depend on traffic conditions." Dad said as he turned the steering wheel and changed the direction of the car.
John Connor put down the knife in his hand, a little dazed, I said I was the supreme leader, why didn't anyone listen to me.
"What about you? Do you also obey my orders?" Katie asked Nie Lu carefully.
"No." Nie Lu shook his head, "I have other tasks."
If he really had to listen, he would most likely listen to the T-800 who issued the order.
"Oh... where are we going now?" Katie continued to ask. She now realized that she seemed quite important.
"Let's go to the gas station. The remaining gasoline in the vehicle is not enough for the next journey. Then we will go to get the prepared weapons, and finally go to the air force base." Dad replied.
"Wait, no need to get weapons, I have everything here." Nie Lu said, grabbing in the air and pulling out a box with a sniper rifle in it.
"I have a large number of common weapons stored in my personal space, all of which are more advanced than current weapons."
"Personal space?!" John Connor and Katie shouted at the same time.
"Wait, are you a psychic or a wizard?" Katie felt the shock growing.
"You can be whatever you want me to be." Nie Lu said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
"Okay, okay... By the way, what will the other robot do next? Maybe we can save someone else by the way." John Connor asked, looking at the T-850.
"Her destination is the same as ours. There is an important secondary target at the air base, Robert Brewster."
"My dad?! Are you saying my dad is her target too?!" Katie got excited again.
"Yes, Robert Brewster is the main person in charge of the military's CRS, which is the computer research system, autonomous weapons."
"Skynet! You're talking about Skynet!" John Connor reacted.
"Skynet is a defense system he's responsible for."
"I understand, I understand everything. As long as we can convince your father not to activate Skynet, nothing will happen!" John Connor looked like he saw the light.
"T-850, may I ask, when did the first nuclear bomb explode?" Nie Lu suddenly asked.
"It's 4:23 this afternoon, and there are four hours and fifty-one minutes left." Dad replied quickly.
Judging from the response speed, now in Dad’s program, Nie Lu’s orders might be more useful than John Connor’s.
Nie Lu nodded. The time remained the same, just as he said last time.
Out of caution, Nie Lu took out the paper from his personal space.
The moment the paper was exposed to the air, the words on it began to change and became 4:23 pm.
Nie Lu was silent. He didn't see the previous time clearly, but he saw that the font had changed.
He tapped his head gently.
It's unreliable, and even my own memory is unreliable. The change of time seems to have affected everyone's memory, except for the items in the personal space.
However, once items in the personal space are taken out, they will also be modified by the timeline.
Nie Lu now doesn’t know whether time is moving forward or backward, but what is certain is that some of their actions can affect the timeline, and at the same time this influence cannot be detected by them.
While thinking, Nie Lu was playing with the dice of the European Emperor. He really wanted to activate his talent skills right now.
But no, the cooldown time of dice and talents is very long, and they must be used in more important places.
The discussion in the car never stopped. Katie continued to obtain information from the future from the T-850, while John Connor was testing the bottom line of his current authority, but so far, he had not yet figured it out.
Nie Lu looked out the window. He also had some questions he wanted to ask, but those questions could be avoided by other people in the end. At the same time, too many people heard it, so it was impossible to tell who the changes in the timeline were related to and who was not.
