Once known as the Northern Ring Tower, but now mutated into a launch site deep in the mountains, sporadic battles were taking place everywhere. The situation was extremely chaotic. Perhaps hundreds of soldiers were fighting for control of the place. Although all this was just a farce that started an hour ago, they seemed to have been fighting like this for more than a decade, and it was a matter of course. Hao Ren and Nolan tried their best to avoid the soldiers on the way, trying to find a safe way to the outside world in this complex and huge building. There were several inevitable encounters, but fortunately, the opponents were ordinary people, and they did not run around with rocket launchers like Nolan, so it was easy to deal with them.
As time went by, the sound of gunfire seemed to weaken a little. Hao Ren muttered, "It seems that the regular army has almost completely occupied this place."
"There may be explosives in the underground of this facility, we should not stay here for long," Nolan muttered. She did not slow down at all, just slightly waving the short wand in her hand. "Thank you for your weapon, this thing is really good."
While she could not master the weapon from the Aerymian elves in a short period of time, the shield function of the wand had helped her more than once. After all, even if she had the ultimate combat skills of a human, her body was still made of flesh and blood. It was not easy for her to pass through the facility full of enemy soldiers.
Hao Ren nodded. Suddenly, a light appeared in front of them. "That looks like the exit!"
Nolan immediately slowed down cautiously. "Be careful of ambush."
She and Hao Ren stopped, but the MDT did not care and ran over. "I'm going to explore the way!" It was so fast that Hao Ren could not catch it.
Nolan, who was watching from behind, was stunned. "This is the most agile cerebral thrombosis patient I've ever seen …"
Hao Ren took two steps forward and grabbed the MDT. "Do you want to die?"
The MDT shook its head. "It's okay. I'm dead anyway. If you don't believe me, you can touch me. I don't have a heartbeat. I guess I won't die even if someone punches a hole in me."
Nolan had seen Hao Ren and his cerebral thrombosis' partner 'get along with each other more than once. She was not in the mood to ask why. She confirmed the situation at the exit and waved to the two. "Come on, it's safe up ahead."
The three of them finally got out of the complex and a little too large. When they came out of a secret hole in the hillside, Hao Ren was shocked by what he saw. He could not calm himself down for a long time.
He saw a large stretch of mountains spread out in front of him, layer upon layer, almost endless. The sky was high and clear, and the clear blue sky was almost dazzling. His mind was still lingering with the thick layer of smoke and dust on the planet Zorm, where even the sun could not show itself. The clear sky in front of him made him think that he was in a different world.
If one had to point out the regrettable landscape of the Clear Sky Mountains, it would be the lack of vegetation on the mountains. There were only some sparse shrubs and short trees scattered across the desolate rocky hillsides. But even so, this scene was still more pleasing to the eye than the despairing wasteland from before.
The MDT looked back and saw that they came out of a hole on the hillside. The previous facility turned out to be a hidden fortress in the mountain, and even the passage in front of them was disguised as an ordinary cave.
The MDT shook its head and said, "This body is really troublesome. I have to twist my neck to look behind me, and sometimes I have to twist my body as well. I can't believe how you humans take this shoddy bearing between your head and shoulders for granted …"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "Take it easy. Raven is also in human form."
"You think she really needs to see the world with her eyes? Pfft."
Nolan looked at the strange combination in front of her and then walked to the side of the hillside. "We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's move to a safe place first. Come with me, there should be a means of transport here. "
Hao Ren followed Nolan curiously and asked, "How do you know? Hasn't the world changed? "
Before he finished his sentence, he saw a strange-looking modified vehicle parked behind a rock in front of him. The vehicle had four large wheels connected by multiple crankshafts, and a body mounted on a complex suspension system. It looked like it was prepared for off-road travel in harsh and complex environments. Rather than calling it a vehicle, it was more appropriate to call it a spider robot with wheels. It was just as Nolan said: there was a means of transport here, and it looked like it was handy.
Nolan beckoned Hao Ren and the MDT to get in the car. Then she climbed into the driver's seat and began to fumble with the complicated buttons and switches and the steering system that looked very different from the vehicles on Earth. It seemed that she was also touching this thing for the first time. But after a while, she knew how to start the big guy. With a burst of engine sound, the spider-like vehicle lifted up and drove down the hillside on a relatively gentle route.
Only then did Nolan had the time to answer Hao Ren's question. "Of course it's from memory — I don't know where the memory came from. But my physique is special. As the price to pay for remembering past experiences, my new memory is very vague. It takes a few days to piece it together. Before that, I don't even know what my new identity is. Is your situation different? "
Nolan said and looked at Hao Ren curiously. "Do you know what your identity is this time? Or at least there is some vague information in your mind? "
Hao Ren did not have such a setting. "I don't feel anything."
"Maybe our situation is different," Nolan said casually. "You are the first person I've seen besides me who has retained her memory. I'm not sure that every such person is the same."
From Nolan's words, Hao Ren could guess her current situation: she did retain the memory of the last 'reincarnation', but at the same time, she was also affected by this' reincarnation '. Some memories were forming in her mind out of thin air, and these memories may be the fake life experience that the world added to her out of thin air.
Until an hour ago, it was Nolan's life experience in this life.
It was easy to understand: if the whole world was only born for an hour, how could you make people believe that they lived in a normal and orderly world? The only way was to fabricate a detailed and real history for them, to make them believe that they were born, believe in their growth, believe in their experiences, believe in their interpersonal relationships, believe that they knew a bad friend from ten years ago, loved someone from twenty years ago, and lived in a certain place from thirty years ago. They believed that their life and the whole world before them were full and real. But in fact, all of this was injected into their brain one hour and fourteen minutes ago.
Perhaps everyone in the world was like this, except Nolan.
At sunset, Hao Ren and Nolan believed that they had shaken off all the pursuers — or maybe no one was chasing them at all. In short, they found a cave big enough to hide the strange mountain bike and the three of them. After confirming that there were no traces left outside, they finally settled down.
"I don't like caves." Nolan frowned. "I was smothered to death in a cave once."
The MDT chimed in. "I don't like caves either. You always use me as a flashlight …"
"Scram, go rest in the corner. I'm not going to carry you this time if you get tired!"
"Oh."
Nolan looked at the blonde girl who limped to the corner of the cave. "Is she really just suffering from cerebral thrombosis?"
Hao Ren said, "… You can assume that every part of her brain is sick. I don't mind."
"I thought you two were very close." Nolan looked deeply at Hao Ren. "Even Karl was touched when you carried her around. Even me … Don't tell me I'm fooled by appearances."
Hao Ren laughed dryly. "This … in a sense … Forget it. Let's talk about this world."
"This world?" The light in Nolan's eyes dimmed. She lowered her eyelids tiredly. "I only know that this world is crazy. As you can see … it keeps resetting, changing, and evolving, as if a bad director is controlling it from behind the scenes. I can't even remember how many absurd and weird 'stage plays' I've experienced. "
