Sixty-five years ago, the out-of-control incident of the nanometer fleet.
The war has continued to this day, and it is almost impossible to tell why it all started, and it is impossible to figure out who was the first to start the war among the parties to the war, but at least the world still has one consensus, that is, sixty-five years The out-of-control incident of the nanometer cluster before was definitely the most fatal among the many fuses back then.
The largest sea of nanometers in the northern hemisphere eroded the protective wall after losing control, destroying the three surrounding cities in an instant. The place where the aircraft fleet raged is still a restricted area for life. Since the soil and environment have been completely changed, no plants can grow there anymore, and the water is filled with highly toxic chemicals and remnants of aircraft that have not completely lost their vitality. Less than half of the explorers who ventured into that dead zone can come back alive. .
But what is incredible is that even though the nanocomputer clusters dissolved everything around them, there is still one place that survived, and that is the "Northern Ring Tower" located in the middle of the nano sea. No one can explain this phenomenon so far, and the business that Nolan received this time is going to that place.
Almost no one would want to go to the death zone, and the land destroyed by the aircraft group is unlikely to be of much value, so except for a few big forces with special ideas about pre-war technology, few people go to the ruins of the Northland, and The biggest problem in going to the ruins is the guide. There are very few people who can pass through the ruins alive, and Nolan is one of them. Such guides command high prices and most of the time have no market: not everyone is willing to exchange their lives for money.
Nolan revealed the exorbitant price charged by the White River Chamber of Commerce for this business, and the surrounding mercenaries were shaken. Many people were moved by the price, but the death rate of up to half after entering the ruins of the Northland was even more daunting. . Nolan also knew this, so she didn't use orders, but let her subordinates decide whether to follow or not. When the people around were whispering, Ulanov was the first to stand up: "I'll go with you."
Hao Ren understood the origin of Ulanov and that place after he learned about the North Ring Tower. This man is the only survivor of the accident sixty-five years ago, and perhaps he has some persistent wish unfulfilled.
Hao Ren took a step forward after Ulanov finished speaking, "I'll go too."
Nolan looked at Hao Ren in surprise: "You?"
"I'm also a little interested in the Beidi Ring Tower," Hao Ren smiled. "Anyway, you are short of manpower, so you don't mind bringing me one more."
"But you are not a member of the mercenary group." Nolan frowned, "Aren't you not interested in being a mercenary?"
Hao Ren explained casually: "I just don't like being controlled by others. This time I went to help. How about it? I don't take much with me, and I don't need you to distract me on the way, so you just take care of me." I have a piece of luggage…”
Nolan has probably never seen such a free and easy guy in her life. Rao, who has always been expressionless, her eyes widened at this moment: "You said it was so easy? Do you know where the North Ring Tower is?"
Hao Ren nodded: "Yes, it's a narrow escape, but I'm not afraid of death, and if you encounter danger, you can just run away. Don't even bother with me—is the condition loose enough? Do you want me to write a letter of guarantee and immediately The will states that my life and death have nothing to do with you?"
Nolan looked Hao Ren up and down with staring eyes, and suddenly showed a dazed expression: "Oh, I see, you want to die, don't you?"
Hao Ren: "..."
He just wanted to dispel Nolan's doubts as much as possible so that the other party would take him over, but he never thought that this misunderstanding could be expanded!
Even Ulanov patted him on the shoulder: "You are a nice person, you don't need to waste your life in this way. There is still a long way to go, life..."
Hao Ren jumped up: "Why do you all think I'm crazy?! I just want to go and help?!"
He talked to Nolan for a long time before the other party finally agreed to let a non-staff member like himself go with the team. After finally getting it done, Hao Ren still murmured in his heart: so many gray fox mercenaries around told them not to go, but his own combat power that took the initiative to send them to the door was pushed back and forth. How much effort it took...
Nolan sighed more than Hao Ren: She has seen many desperate people. But the model in front of me is really rare, and love really makes people blind. The pain of losing his spouse probably made this man want to die, so she had no choice but to take Hao Ren to die with the mentality of saving the world...
Fortunately, Hao Ren doesn't know how to read minds, otherwise the things that Nolan imagined in his mind would be enough to make his blood splatter three feet.
Seeing that his other subordinates were still hesitating and discussing, Nolan waved everyone sensibly and dismissed them temporarily: "Everyone go back and think about it, Carl, give me a list before evening, and I will make a decision before noon tomorrow. Good guys, let's go tomorrow afternoon."
After the crowd dispersed, Hao Ren and Ulanov walked towards the barracks together, perhaps they were going to the ruins of the Northland together. Ulanov had more trust in Hao Ren. He patted Hao Ren on the shoulder vigorously: "You still have time to think about it. Go back and think about whether you should waste this life. If Nolan quits tomorrow will say anything."
"You're talking like I'm going to die," Hao Ren looked at the other party's naked face mask, dumbfounded, "I know you all think that I want to die after my wife dies... I can't explain it now. , but don’t worry, I’m precious to my life. I went to the Northland Ring Tower because I wanted to investigate something that I’m concerned about. Although the place is dangerous, it’s not like there’s no return.”
"Before I met Nolan, I ventured in once. At that time, I was the leader of a small mercenary organization." Ulanov paused, "We didn't even cross the outermost area before we all died. Don't underestimate that place, there are quite a few unlucky guys swallowed by the ruins of the Northland every year."
Hao Ren looked at Ulanov: "Since it's so dangerous, why did you go there?"
He had asked this question once before, but Ulanov didn't answer at that time, and now that the two are about to set off on that dangerous field together, Ulanov finally stopped hiding: "I told you, sixty-five years I used to be a researcher working around the nanoscale cluster."
Hao Ren nodded and waited for Ulanov to continue.
"My wife is the operator of the 'Master' computer," Ulanov said slowly. "When the fleet was out of control, the Northland ring tower was automatically closed, and all the staff were locked inside, and the nanomachines were finally released. Erosion into the ring tower—so those inside survived until the last moment."
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide: "Do you want to..."
"I just want to find her relics...or bones," Ulanov shook his head, "They must still be there."
After saying this, Ulanov walked away without looking back, leaving only Hao Ren behind in a daze.
The voice of the data terminal sounded leisurely in his mind: "Compared to you fake and shoddy lover, this is the real man—he probably lived for this reason."
Hao Ren was not in the mood to argue with the other party, but went back to his room in silence.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard a hoarse and weird female voice coming from the front: "Yo, partner, welcome back."
Hao Ren was startled by the sound, and when he looked up, he saw a blond girl sitting slumped against a corner not far in front of him.
The girl's body was stained with blood, and her face was pale. Half of her body was limp and limp, while the other half of her body was forced to straighten, so as to barely maintain her balance.
Heaton's personal computer was placed on the ground nearby, and she was struggling with the keyboard with one hand.
With such a difficult movement, coupled with the blood on her body, this appearance is really miserable and pitiful—if her body is not a brick, Hao Ren would really be overwhelmed with sympathy.
The blond girl shook her head slightly, as if she wanted to look up at Hao Ren, but she quickly gave up: "Sorry, the drive seems to be unstable, and I can't lift my head up."
Hao Ren hurriedly turned around and closed the door, fearing that the scene of cheating the corpse during the day would be seen, and then quickly walked to the terminal: "Are you able to talk?"
"Barely force it," Corpse Ji terminal said, not only the tone is weird but also intermittent, it sounds like a child who just learned to speak, "Speaking of which, this body is really hard to control, and I can't stand up after falling down several times. How did you climb?"
As she spoke, she scratched the edge of the bed next to her and tried to climb up. Hao Ren noticed that she only had one arm and one leg to move, so he hurried forward to help. After placing her on the bed, Hao Ren said seriously, "Let me check your body."
The girl was shocked: "You finally decided to attack your PDA?!"
"Go away—I have to figure out how you work!" (To be continued~^~)
