Hao Ren hid in a bunker and observed the movement outside. Although he didn't see the enemy appearing for the time being, the sound of gunfire from a distance could tell that this was not a peaceful place. It is very important to stay hidden until he finds out the situation. of.
He saw dilapidated streets around him, mottled and collapsed buildings, bullet holes everywhere on the walls and roads, twisted metal fragments piled up on street corners, and traces of war damage everywhere. The sky was gray and it looked like it was going to rain, but the dry and slightly cold air reminded him that it was not a cloud, but some kind of lingering high-altitude dust cloud. A breeze blew, bringing the smell of gunpowder smoke from afar, and a pungent smell like chemical pollution.
"What's going on? The Third World War has really started?" Hao Ren muttered while concentrating, checked his brain state, and found that he was not dreaming.
"It can't be a dream..." He muttered to himself, "The details are too complete... Could it be that he was transported to a certain place in the dream plane?"
It is difficult for ordinary people to recognize their own situation after falling into a dream, because the brain will naturally process all the details in the dream and construct the required senses by self-deception, but Hao Ren has undergone body modification and targeted training With his mental strength, he can stay awake in dreams, and can also distinguish reality in extreme sleep, and even resist various powerful illusions to a certain extent. But after confirming that he was in reality, Hao Ren was still a little puzzled: He felt that he might have entered the dream plane again, but after entering this time, there was always a lingering sense of disobedience, and he couldn't explain why. thing.
"Terminal, can you hear me?" Hao Ren activated the mental connection and called the data terminal in his mind. He knew that guy was connected to his mind 24 hours a day, including when he was asleep. Subtle..."
The voice from the data terminal was delayed for a few seconds: "Received, the signal is clear, but the condition of this machine is a bit subtle..."
"You came in too?" Hao Ren said in his mind, while cautiously moving towards the nearest building. He hoped to go to a high place to see the situation of this place, "Is this the dream plane?"
The voice of the data terminal fluctuated: "It should be. But this time the transmission process was very sudden. This machine was 'pulled' in by your mental power, and there was no time to record the 'dive' process. In addition, the surrounding environment is also somewhat abnormal. , but cannot describe."
"Heh, I fell asleep and entered the dream plane again," Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth, and he saw a tall tower. Although the outer wall was damaged a lot, the structure was still intact and solid. He decided to go up and have a look, "I thought I would never need to enter this way again... I haven't experienced it for more than a year."
"Theoretically, this should not happen. Your mental power has become increasingly stable and highly controllable. There will be no more uncontrolled dream infiltrations. Moreover, this machine is connected to you, acting as a firewall...at least an early warning There is a function."
"There are always accidents. By the way, you mentioned that the environment in this place is abnormal? Maybe it's because we entered the Dream Plane with a spiritual body this time." Hao Ren reasoned casually, "Since we found the Tanagus Rift It’s always been physical entry, and I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like to enter the spiritual body.”
The voice from the data terminal was delayed for a few more seconds: "Insufficient data. No comment."
Hao Ren climbed up to the third floor of the dilapidated tower and looked down at the street below: "Why are you so serious all of a sudden? By the way, this place is really...not optimistic."
Stand on the balcony of the tower overlooking the city. Everywhere you look is devastated, and almost every street looks dilapidated. The whole city must have suffered a large-scale bombing—or it was destroyed in the protracted urban warfare.
The voice from the data terminal is still coming: "This machine needs to allocate a part of the computing power to analyze the situation here."
"Okay, let's continue with the analysis," Hao Ren said casually, "but before that, can you confirm the location of this planet? How far is it from Holletta? Can you contact the Crystal Nucleus Research Station or Ala?" Manda base?"
"... Insufficient data. It can only be confirmed that it is in the dream plane, but the current location cannot be determined. The signal transmission with the crystal nucleus research station and the Alamanda base is normal, but the physical address cannot be resolved. There may be unexpected events Interference or data link error."
"It might be too far away," Hao Ren looked up at the gray sky. As if to see the starry sky behind it through that layer of dust, "Or this place is in a special star region."
In this God-exploded universe, it is not unimaginable to have one or two distorted areas with chaotic space-time rules. Now Hao Ren is only glad that he has entered this place as a spiritual body, and he can escape with his body in case of danger.
However, a doubt has begun to linger in his mind: why did he suddenly fall to this place
He first entered the dream plane and "dive" through the dream like this, so he is no stranger to this diving process, but he has also tested that if he dives through the dream in the watch world, he will be teleported to Hall 100% On the planet Leita—it seems that Holletta has a certain mapping relationship with the surface world, or a big crack in the wall of reality is just projected on the planet Holletta.
But this time, he came to a strange planet, and it seemed to be far away from Holleta.
He told this question to the data terminal: "Terminal, what do you think is going on?"
The data terminal thought for a while: "... Pessimistically, this phenomenon may mean that the cracks in the wall of reality are further expanding. Previously, you could only enter Holletta when dreaming in the table world, but now... there are more places in the dream plane There is a connection with the watch world.”
Hao Ren felt a pain in his liver: "What about the optimistic estimate?"
"The optimistic estimate is that your brain has gone wrong, so you are running around."
"Your uncle!"
"This machine comes from the production line. The uncle of this machine is a substrate detector. Please pay attention to your orientation. The uncle of this machine is harder than any part of your body."
Hearing the data terminal bicker with him so vigorously, Hao Ren heaved a sigh of relief: It seems that this funny guy has also recovered from the sequelae caused by the sudden teleportation.
"Not yet completely out of the predicament," the data terminal sensed the thoughts in Hao Ren's mind, and seemed a little frustrated to send a message, "When entering the dream plane, there was a data conversion error, and this machine lost the ability to move. , come and pick up this machine."
Hao Ren was taken aback: "Why did you have so many troubles this time?"
"This machine asks who to go! You are the leader during the dive!"
"Okay, okay, where can I pick you up?"
The data terminal transmitted the navigation information to Hao Ren's mind, and the latter followed the telepathy to look in a certain direction, and found that the streets and alleys there were bursts of green smoke, and the sound of intermittent firefights was coming from there.
That guy really chose a good place to "land".
Hao Ren shook his head and sighed, jumped down the three floors, and ran quickly towards the streets and alleys emitting gunpowder smoke.
In the process of approaching the firefighting area, he found some corpses: wearing inconsistent combat clothing, both men and women, equipped with small-caliber individual weapons, judging from the wounds, they should have died in a recent firefight.
By the time he reached the alley where the data terminal signaled, the battle was over.
The air is filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, and the smell of blood is mixed with the breeze. The soldiers who fought here should have evacuated or died in battle. Only the damaged equipment left on the ground and a few people behind the street corner bunkers can be seen. A corpse—not even taking the corpse away, this is obviously the loser.
Hao Ren looked left and right, but found no living people, but there were two dead soldiers lying behind the concrete slabs closest to him.
"The firearms use gunpowder kinetic energy, but they are more advanced than those on Earth," Hao Ren muttered while inspecting the equipment of the fallen soldiers, "Well, the guns are embedded with advanced electronic auxiliary devices, which may be used for targeting and guidance... and The battle suits are linked together... ”
He reached for a rifle, and a line of text was projected on the gun: User Error, Mechanism Locked.
"...It even has a permission identification function."
At this moment, Hao Ren's movements were suddenly interrupted by a clear voice of reprimand from behind: "Don't move! The person in front, put your hands behind your head and stand up slowly facing this side!" (To be continued~ ^~)
