Deep underground, it's shielded from deadly sunlight on the surface, but since the entire planet has been heated for thousands of years, it's just as hot and unusually hot, and without shields and life support systems, no one other than Yitzax and Elizabeth will last long.Hao Ren led a small team of detectives through the wide, crooked corridor, the road in front of him sloping downward, seemingly leading deep underground, and so far there was no end in sight.Exploring this real planet that has turned into purgatory, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of Nolan who stayed in the virtual world, and the hundreds of reincarnations that Nolan had experienced.He was sure that the humans in the virtual world were the inhabitants of this planet, and they entered the virtual world undoubtedly to avoid something - Hao Ren once wondered if it was because the people on this planet were helpless when the planet fell into the sun, so they had to create a virtual world to hide in to paralyze themselves, but soon he realized that the timeline was not right.The original world reincarnation in Nolan's memory happened nearly 10,000 years ago, and the data terminal calculated that the orbit of the planet should be out of balance two or three thousand years ago, and there is a huge difference between the two, even if Nolan's memory of the world is not very accurate, it should not deviate to this point.So the Drums didn't enter the virtual world to escape the stellar fire - what was that?
The firstborn?
The journey through the underground tunnel was boring, so Hao Ren casually shared his guesses with the people around him, and Lily gave her own opinion after hearing these guesses: "There are too many possibilities.It's possible that they didn't hide from anything at all, but after the technology developed to a certain extent, they clicked on the wrong technology tree, and all mankind was addicted to virtual reality, and then the real world server had a problem that made it impossible for humans to log out, so they were trapped in the server, and then the planet fell into the sun completely by accident.It's also possible that they did run into a crisis and hid in the virtual world to deduce a workable solution in the simulator, and then had an accident and couldn't log out.It could even be that the planet's robots have rebelled, and the rebels have locked up the human spirit in a server and used the human body as a battery to generate electricity - hasn't it been shown on TV?
Anyway, the surface of this planet has been burned by fire, and now it is estimated that only the underground servers are still running, and the evidence has been burned out, so we can guess anything. ”Lily said a lot of speculation about baba with one mouth, and Vivien couldn't help but look at her: although she usually mocked this husky as a stupid dog, to be honest, this writer's brain hole is really big, and the brain hole is so big that it is a circle on the top of the neck......
Izzax coughed lightly at this time: "Ahem, speaking of which, let's just keep looking down, but how do you plan to save people after finding it?"
”"I haven't thought about it yet," Hao Ren was also quite unsure when he mentioned this question, he could only say the best situation to calm people's hearts, "But if." ”Lily blinked when she heard this, "......
What a whimsical solution. ”Elizabeth jumped up and down beside Izzax, and the little girl asked, "Anyway, we've walked down for a few kilometers, how can we ......?"
The roar lasted for a few seconds, sounding like a huge rock formation collapsing in a cavern deep underground, followed by a tooth-aching creak and grinding sound from all directions, and at the same time, the ground beneath everyone's feet also vibrated violently, and the surrounding Chaojin corridor made an overwhelming tearing sound in the vibration, and debris continued to fall from the cracks at the top of the tunnel.A stream of scorching underground gas blew violently through the passage, almost blowing Elizabeth to her head.Izax hurriedly grabbed the little girl and protected her by her legs: "This place is going to collapse?"
”Hao Ren stretched out his hand and grabbed Lily and Vivian beside him, waiting for the turmoil to pass before exhaling: "It's quiet......
It shouldn't collapse.I guess this must have been happening a lot lately, didn't you see a lot of twisted corridors when you came here before?
”"What was that?"
Vivien was a little uneasy, "Earthquake?
”Before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily next to her suddenly helped explain: "It is the planet that is disintegrating, and the gravitational pull of the sun and the expansion and contraction movement caused by the uneven heating of the planet itself are tearing the earth's crust off the mantle.It stands to reason that the sunny side should be the place where this movement is most intense, but now the sunny side is also vibrating......
Sure enough, we are about to reach a tipping point. ”Lily paused after speaking, and couldn't help but blow up after noticing the gaze of the people around her: "So how many times do I have to say it to remember that I graduated from Peking University four times?!"
And I graduated with grades, okay?
”"Well, that's probably what Lily said," Hao Ren touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and said as he continued to move forward, "Everyone be careful, this planet is like a sugar ball in the sun now, and all structures are unstable, so you must not stand still in case of emergency." ”As he spoke, he added: "And in fact, the shaking is not the most terrible situation, the worst thing is that the walls and caves around us may suddenly squeeze over at any time, this is essentially a collision of the earth's crust, and the plate friction that will only occur in tens of thousands of years on the earth will be completed here in a few seconds......"
Lily's tail suddenly exploded into a sword mound: "What do you say, landlord?!"
”"Don't worry, the life support collar has an emergency evacuation function, and the shield will teleport you to the ship if it is about to break due to a sudden external blow.It's just that the sight is probably more exciting. ”Even a fierce man like Itzhax couldn't help but glance at the roof above his head in fear: "......
Hundreds of millions of tons of crust are squeezed down, and the Demon Lord will also be second. ”"This is the power of nature," Hao Ren smiled helplessly, "We are following a big stone ball of 50 trillion tons into the sun, so don't expect how comfortable the working conditions will be."
Stand firm and don't be left behind. ”With the first tremor, there is a second and a third – the crowd goes all the way to the depths, experiencing more earthquakes in between, large and small, and the shaking becomes more terrifying as the depth increases.Each tremor was accompanied not only by violent shaking and falling shards of gravel, but also by a reverberation from deep underground that seemed to detonate a bomb in a huge cavern.It was the friction between the plates, and the discontinuous gaps between them amplified the roar of the rocks colliding like loudspeakers.The structure of the planet is completely disorganized, and now it is impossible to tell how many cracks and moving rock fragments are scattered inside, and it is shaking in space like a sack full of rubble, and massive plate collisions are constantly occurring every moment.But since the planet has not really disintegrated, these collisions are still within the "controllable" range, at least Hao Ren and the others are still barely moving forward deep underground.To the planet, this small expedition is as small as a swarm of ants burrowing through the crevices of the rocks, but the ants have power, and they are hopefully trying to save something.A completely blocked fork in the road, blocked by a collapsed rock formation, was the sixth dead end that everyone had encountered.It's inevitable: with the entire planet slowly disintegrating, it's thankful that there are still viable passages underground.Hao Ren could only lead the team back to the previous fork and choose a passage that looked promising to continue exploring.At the same time, he contacted the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace, which was cruising at a low altitude above everyone: "Terminal, can't you give a more accurate navigation?"
It's a dead end again. ”"The machine has done its best, but the underground situation is complicated, the surface area is being reorganized and deformed, and the machine must first ensure the safety and stability of the route."
Hao Ren hung up the communication and shook his head at Vivian beside him: "Safety first, keep going." ”"Truth be told, the underground has become like this......
How can Drom's virtual world still work?
”Lily felt incredible, "I think such a complex virtual reality device should be very sophisticated, but the earth's crust is starting to split, and the virtual world seems to be barely running." ”"Anyway, the 1.6 billion people on Nolan's side are still alive," Hao Ren was also a little puzzled, "probably because there are a lot of backup servers in the virtual world......
After all, the planet hasn't completely collapsed. ”Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a clutter-filled voice in the communication channel: "Hey......
Hey, can you hear me?
This is Nolan ......"
Hao Ren unexpectedly took over the communication: "Can you hear, what's going on over there?"
”Nolan was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly asked, "You're in the real world now, right?"
What you said before is true, right?
”The corners of Hao Ren's mouth curled up unconsciously: "Well, now you have decided to believe it?"
”Nolan's heavy breathing could be heard in the communication channel, and she seemed to be calming herself, and it took a moment before she spoke, "What the hell is going on outside?"
”A kind of uneasiness suddenly came to his heart, and Hao Ren's tone was hurried: "Is there a situation over there?"
I hear a lot of noise......
""world......
It's burning. ”(To be continued.) )
