As an "outsider" who just came to this world not long ago, Hao Ren couldn't understand Nolan's thoughts with empathy, and it was difficult for him to realize that thousands of years of continuous reincarnation would give a What a profound impact people have brought, but one thing he can be sure of is that the world in Nolan’s eyes has already faded color—everything is illusory, and everything loses meaning. When the whole world becomes a stage that can be replaced and changed at any time Without drama, it is difficult for her to have any sense of quality in the world. In each reincarnation, she has continuously accumulated experience and knowledge, and at the same time accumulated a thick shell deep in her heart. She is right, if the world can be reset at any time, then keep it right. The feelings of all things in the world are really of little value.
What you hold dear, what you hate, what you trust, is temporary and arranged. It is possible that they all changed their identities as soon as you wake up, and it is even possible that your former friends will be set as enemies right in front of your eyes. After experiencing such a long time, Nolan learned to survive in the most efficient way, and became ready to give up everything at any time, including the gray fox mercenary group that he had formed by himself.
But now Hao Ren and Corpse Ji Terminal have become exceptions in her eyes: for the first time in thousands of years, she has found someone who can retain the same reincarnation memory as herself. A partner, a real partner.
That's why she didn't hesitate to tell Hao Ren everything she knew, even ignoring the somewhat strange words and deeds of Hao Ren and Corpse Ji Terminal. Now, for her, the two compatriots in front of her can quickly understand the situation. Most importantly, it means living better.
The sun had already completely sunk down the mountain, and two small moons rose up from the horizon one after the other, and the not very bright moonlight made the outside of the cave coated with a layer of silver. Nolan came to the entrance of the cave, and carefully confirmed the situation outside again: "It seems that the battle at the launch base is really over, and I didn't hear the self-detonation... It should have been controlled by the Imperial Marines before the detonation .”
"By the way, no one will find this place, right?" Hao Ren walked up from behind, turned his head and glanced into the cave, where Corpse Ji Terminal was curiously studying the cold light stick hanging on the car. The light from the lamp stick slightly leaked from the cave entrance, "Will those soldiers pass by this road when they evacuate?"
"It's very safe here. I've checked it...I checked it in my memory," Nolan nodded. "As long as you don't light a bonfire, it's fine. The remote-sensing infrared detectors of the Imperial Marine Corps are quite sensitive."
Hao Ren snorted, looked up at the sparse starry sky above, a strange group of stars flashed in front of his eyes, and his next exploration plan was circling in his mind. He said casually: "The stars are very beautiful..."
"Yeah, it's very beautiful," Nolan raised his head, his eyes widened slightly, as if he suddenly realized the stars above his head at this time, "I really miss... I haven't seen stars for more than ten years. It seems that the script this time It's not too bad, at least the sky is open."
"I can't imagine that six hours ago, the world was still shrouded in dust and mist that lingered for decades, and the air smelled like tar," Hao Ren sighed. Suddenly thought of a question, "Speaking of which, has the starry sky changed in previous reincarnations?"
Nolan shook his head: "The starry sky hasn't changed much, probably because it's too far away from humans. Humans can't touch them at all. The 'director' behind the world doesn't seem to have bothered to make a more refined set of starry sky. And reincarnation So many times. I haven't seen humans develop to the stage of alien colonization once."
Hao Ren fell silent thoughtfully, until Nolan tugged at the hem of his clothes: "Go back, eat something, rest early today, and have to go on the road tomorrow."
When the two returned to the cave, Corpse Ji terminal waved to Hao Ren: "Yo, partner, is the girl back?"
Nolan stared at Hao Ren: "...what is the relationship between you two?"
She was completely confused about the relationship between Hao Ren and the blonde girl, so there was no way. You forcibly changed the style of painting from a moving love tragedy to a love apartment. Even if you bring a sociologist over, he can't figure it out!
Shi Ji's terminal is free and easy. Patting his chest with a proud face: "This machine and my partner are life and death friends!"
Hao Ren thought for a while, and unexpectedly found that what this guy said was correct, especially the words life and death...
Nolan rummaged through the car and found the supplies. According to those memories that fell from the sky, these things were replenished by her in the small town at the foot of the mountain 24 hours ago. She threw two packs of compressed dry food and two bottles of water to Hao Ren and Terminal: "Eat whatever you want, don't eat too much, it will lower your vigilance."
Hao Ren took the food with a grunt, and before he had time to tear off the packaging, the Corpse Ji terminal next to him secretly tugged at his sleeve: "Hey, can this machine eat?"
The familiar dizziness came immediately, and Hao Ren looked at the blonde girl beside him with twitching eyes: "How about... why don't you drink some water first?"
Corpse Ji terminal clumsily unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, smacking her lips and muttering softly: "It feels like it fell directly into the stomach, and then it permeated in all directions."
"... You'd better stop eating, the esophagus is broken," Hao Ren said while thinking about the heavy taste of this topic, "and you don't need to go to the bathroom, and you don't feel weak if you don't eat or drink for such a long time, probably you don't need supplements Energy."
Hao Ren knew that his deduction was a bit unscientific, but after knowing that this world is very likely to be false, he didn't care about it at all: maybe a bug was caused when the data terminal crossed in, which formed such an unscientific look. The body of common sense, as for the principle... the world is all fake, who the hell cares about the principle.
Nolan watched Hao Ren and the blond girl chewing their ears mysteriously, and didn't know what they were talking about, but he asked casually: "By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what's your name? "
She was talking to Terminal Corpse Ji. Hao Ren and Terminal were dumbfounded when she said that. The latter stared at Hao Ren and whispered, "Damn it! Come up with a name!"
I dare to say that even this guy knows that the word "data terminal" is not a person's name.
Hao Ren hastened to use his brain to make up a personal name, but everyone knew his level of naming. Under normal circumstances, he was like Ge Erdan's father, let alone such a tense moment. Before he could open his mouth, the Corpse Ji terminal quickly interrupted in the mental connection: "Don't say anything, you can't be counted on in this situation—let this machine figure it out for itself."
Nolan watched the two of them flirting with each other curiously. Just when she was a little confused, Shi Ji Terminal suddenly said, "Oh, this machine... My name is Patian, you can just call me Patty."
Nolan let out a huff and stopped asking, while Hao Ren asked the terminal in a low voice in surprise in the spiritual connection: "You can, why did you suddenly think of such a name?"
"PDA."
Hao Ren: "...it's really simple, rude and easy to understand."
The night was getting dark, and soon it was time to rest. Nolan climbed into the car and took out the sleeping bag and the insulating plastic tarpaulin. While arranging them, he said, "There will be a vigil tonight. Go to bed first. I'll be the first guard."
Hao Ren looked at the starlight shining in from the entrance of the cave, and waved to Nolan, "You go to bed first, Patty and I are going for a walk outside."
"At this time?" Nolan stopped his movements, "It's not wise to waste energy, especially walking around in such an unfamiliar place after dark."
"Don't worry, I'm also a professional," Hao Ren said as he walked to the entrance of the cave, and the Corpse Ji Terminal limped along beside him, "I'll go and make sure the surrounding area is safe, nothing will happen—you forgot the Do you have a short staff?"
As Hao Ren said, he pointed at Nolan's sentry stick hanging from his waist, nodding: "I have something more powerful than this thing, and I will explain it to you when I have a chance."
Nolan looked at the mysterious weapon on his waist, and then remembered that Hao Ren seemed to have a lot of secrets. But she still held back and didn't ask so many questions, just nodded: "Be careful."
After finding a relatively open place outside the cave, the Corpse Ji terminal asked: "What are you going to do? You don't really plan to play life and death with this machine, do you?"
"After I go back, I will give you an overhaul. You must have burned out the chip during this abnormal time travel." Hao Ren said while looking up at the sky, "I'm going to go up to see—see How big is this world simulated?" (to be continued~^~)
