Chapter 730 Changes in Terminal

The nanomachine swarm went out of control sixty-five years ago.

The war has continued to this day, and it is almost impossible to explain what started it all, and it is impossible to figure out who among the war parties was the first to start the war. However, there is at least one consensus among the world, and that is that sixty-five years The previous incident of the nanomachine swarm losing control was definitely the most fatal of the many triggers that year.

The largest nano-sea in the northern hemisphere lost control and eroded the protective wall, destroying three surrounding cities in an instant. The place where the fleet of aircraft ravaged is still a restricted area for life to this day. Because the soil and environment were completely changed, no plants grew there anymore, and the water was filled with highly toxic chemicals and remnants of the aircraft fleet that had not completely lost their vitality. Less than half of the explorers who ventured into that dead zone came back alive. .

But what is incredible is that even though the nanomachine swarm dissolved everything around them, there was still one place that survived, and that was the "Northland Ring Tower" located in the center of the Nano Sea. No one can explain this phenomenon so far, and the business Nolan received this time is to go to that place.

Almost no one wants to go to that death zone, and the land destroyed by the fleet is unlikely to be of much value. Therefore, except for a few major forces with special ideas about pre-war technology, few people go to the ruins of the North. The biggest problem in going to the ruins is the guide. There are very few people who can survive through the ruins, and Nolan is one of them. Such guides cost a lot and most of the time they are priceless: not everyone is willing to trade their lives for money.

Nolan told the high price offered by the White River Chamber of Commerce for this business, and the surrounding mercenaries were shaken. Many people were tempted by the price, but the high death rate of half after entering the ruins of the Northland was even more prohibitive. . Nolan also knew this, so she did not use orders, but let her subordinates decide whether to follow or not. When people around him were whispering, Ulanov was the first to stand up: "I'll go with you."

After Hao Ren learned the information about the Northland Ring Tower, he understood the connection between Ulanov and that place. This man was the only survivor of the accident sixty-five years ago. Perhaps he had some unfulfilled wishes.

Hao Ren waited for Ulanov to finish and then stepped forward: "I'll go too."

Nolan looked at Hao Ren in surprise: "You?"

"I'm also a little interested in the Northland Ring Tower," Hao Ren smiled, "You are short of manpower anyway, so you don't mind taking one more of me."

"But you're not from a mercenary group, right?" Nolan frowned, "Aren't you not interested in being a mercenary?"

Hao Ren gave an explanation casually: "I just don't like to be taken care of. This time I went to help. How about it? You don't have to take me too much, and I don't need you to take care of me on the way. Just take more with you." Got some luggage..."

Nolan has probably never seen such a free and easy guy in her life. Even though she has always been expressionless, her eyes widened at this time: "You say it's so easy? Do you know where the Northland Ring Tower is?"

Hao Ren nodded: "I know, it's a narrow escape, but I'm not afraid of death, and when you encounter danger, you can just run away, and you don't even need to worry about me - this condition is loose enough, right? Do you still need me to write a guarantee letter in advance?" Make a will to show that my life and death have nothing to do with you or something like that?"

Nolan looked Hao Ren up and down with his eyes wide open, and suddenly showed a stunned expression: "Oh, I understand, you want to die, right?"

Hao Ren: "..."

He just wanted to dispel Nolan's doubts as much as possible so that the other party could take him there, but he never thought that this misunderstanding could expand!

Even Ulanov patted him on the shoulder: "You are a good person. There is no need for you 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 can't help even if I want to go over there?!"

He talked to Nolan for a long time before the other party finally agreed to let him, a non-staff member, go with the team. After finally getting it done, Hao Ren was still muttering in his heart: There were so many gray fox mercenaries around who even asked them to go, and The combat power that I took the initiative to send to my door was pushed back and blocked. How much effort it took...

Nolan sighed even more than Hao Ren: She had seen many desperate people, but the model in front of her was really rare. Love really makes people blind. The pain of being widowed probably made this man want to die. She had no choice but to save the world and save people. With such a mentality, I took Hao Ren to die...

Fortunately, Hao Ren can't read minds, otherwise the things in Nolan's mind would make him splatter with blood.

Seeing that his other subordinates were still hesitating and discussing, Nolan waved his hand in a reasonable way and dismissed everyone temporarily: "Everyone else, go back and think about it. Karl, give me a list before evening, and I will make a decision before noon tomorrow. Good guys, we’ll leave tomorrow afternoon.”

After everyone dispersed, Hao Ren and Ulanov walked towards the barracks together. Perhaps they were about to go to the ruins of the North together. Ulanov had greater trust in Hao Ren, and he patted Hao Ren vigorously. Shoulder: "You still have time to think about it. Go back and think carefully about whether you should waste this life. Nolan won't say anything if you quit tomorrow."

"You make it sound like I'm going to die specifically," Hao Ren looked at the other person's bare face in confusion, "I know you think I just wanted to die after my wife died... I can't explain it now. But don’t worry, I’m precious about my life. I went to the Northland Ring Tower because I wanted to investigate something I care about. Although the place is dangerous, it’s not like I’ll never return.”

"Before I met Nolan, I ventured in once. At that time, I was the leader of a small mercenary organization." Ulanov paused, "Everyone died before we could even cross the outermost area. . Don’t underestimate that place, the Northland ruins swallow up a lot of unlucky guys every year.”

Hao Ren looked at Ulanov: "If it's so dangerous, why did you go there?"

He had asked this question before, but Ulanov did not answer at that time. Now that the two of them were about to embark on that dangerous field together, Ulanov finally no longer concealed it: "I told you, sixty-five years Formerly I was a researcher working near a swarm of nanomachines.”

Hao Ren nodded and waited for Ulanov to continue.

"My wife is the operator of the 'dominance' computer," Ulanov said slowly. "When the fleet of machines went out of control, the Northland ring tower automatically closed, and all the staff were locked inside, and the nanomachines eventually disappeared. The erosion penetrated the interior of the ring tower—so the people inside survived until the very end.”

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 Hao Ren behind in a daze.

The voice of the data terminal sounded leisurely in my mind: "Compared to you, a fake lover, this one is a real man - that's probably why he lives until now."

Hao Ren was in no mood to argue with the other party, so he just returned to his room in silence.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a hoarse and strange female voice coming from the front: "Hey, partner, welcome back."

Hao Ren was startled by the sound. When he looked up, he found a blond girl leaning against the wall and sitting slumped not far in front of him.

The girl's body was stained with blood and her face was pale. Half of her body slumped down weakly, while the other half of her body was straightened up, barely maintaining balance.

Heaton's personal computer was placed on the ground next to her, and she was struggling to operate the keyboard with one hand.

Such a difficult movement, coupled with the blood stains on her body, made her look really miserable and pitiful - if her body was not a brick, Hao Ren would be overflowing with sympathy.

The blond girl shook her head slightly, as if she wanted to look up at Hao Ren, but quickly gave up: "Sorry, the driver seems to be unstable. I can't raise my head..."

Hao Ren quickly turned around and closed the door, fearing that someone would see the scene of pretending to be a corpse during the day, and then quickly came to the terminal: "Can you speak?"

"Just give it a try," Corpse Girl Terminal spoke. Not only was her tone weird but also intermittent, she sounded like a child who had just learned to speak. "Speaking of which, this body is really difficult to control. I fell down several times and couldn't stand up. Fortunately, I finally learned how to do it. Why are you crawling?"

As she spoke, she grabbed 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 quickly stepped 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 take action on your PDA?!"

"Go away - I have to figure out how you run it!"
