The sudden news left Hao Ren at a loss. At this critical juncture, what he feared the most was that the First Born, the world server, could not hold on any longer. He looked up at the large ganglion in the cavern. The huge biological tissue was still emitting a faint red light and making a dull throbbing sound. But the throbbing sound seemed to be mixed with some kind of noise, which was the painful sound of a huge ancient creature being roasted by the star.
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment before he quickly said to Nolan, "Let it hold on!"
"Let who?" Nolan could not react for a moment.
"No matter who, if you can hear its voice, it should be able to hear you. Find a way to pass your thoughts to it. No matter what, hold on a little longer! We are about to find the organ that stores the memory, even if it holds on for a few more hours! "
Hao Ren was not sure if Nolan could understand these abstract and chaotic things, but the girl's firm voice came through the communicator. "I don't quite understand … but I will try!"
Y 'zaks heard the commotion and came over to ask, "What happened?"
"The First Born may not hold on any longer," Hao Ren said briefly. "It is trying to end this nightmare."
"That means …"
"More than a billion souls of Zorm will die when they wake up. Now I can only let Nolan try to cheer the First Born up, but I don't know if it can hold on for a little longer. In fact, I'm not sure if the First Born can really hear Nolan's voice … I still don't know what kind of individual Nolan is, but I can only make a desperate attempt. By the way, have you found the location of the brain? "
It was Lily who answered. "No, the nerve signal is very messy, and the closer to the area where the ganglion is concentrated, the more chaotic it is. The MDT said that this is because the body structure of the First Born has changed, probably to adapt to the form of a server, the connection between its brain nucleus and ganglion is not the same. "
Hao Ren looked up at the huge organ in the center of the cavern. The weird flesh, which looked like intertwined flesh and vines, was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dark red light between the tissues and organs was getting weaker and weaker, and the throbbing sound in the cavern was also getting slower and weaker. Although the sea of fire on the surface had yet to reach here, its life force had already begun to fade. The voice that Nolan heard in the virtual world was confirmed in reality: the will of the First Born was about to give up resistance. It had endured the sun for more than two thousand years and had been trying its best to protect the human soul in its body. But now it realized that all this was coming to an end. Before a greater collapse came, it hoped to let the people of Zorm die painlessly.
Perhaps it did not even realize that a group of people was trying to save its brain. Its sensory organs had been destroyed by the sunlight, and the underground part was completely used to maintain the operation of the virtual world. It had no spare energy to sense the movements of Hao Ren and the others.
"Nolan's communication may have failed." Y 'zaks' eyebrows knitted together. "I can feel that the ancient creature is killing itself."
Hao Ren silently ran to the side of the large ganglion and pressed his hand directly on a bare gray fabric, trying to stimulate his ability to connect with the will of other guardians. He kept calling in his mind. "Can you hear me? We are trying to find a way in the real world. There is a spacecraft parked above you. We have the ability to transfer your brain away — as long as you can stay awake before we start to cut it. Now is not the time to give up … "
The call continued several times, but there was no response. The First Born was still weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Nolan's voice rang in the communication device with panic and despair. "It's getting dark … The stars are disappearing, and the people on the street are suddenly falling asleep … They have strange smiles on their faces …"
At this moment, the Petrachelys hovering above Zorm was slowly climbing higher. The MDT wanted to change the angle to do a more comprehensive scan of the planet. Just as it was about to ascend the spacecraft into the sky, a horrifying scene suddenly appeared on the external monitor.
The sunny side of Zorm quickly turned into a sea of fire under the heat of the sun. A huge torrent of magma surged on the surface of the planet, and large tracts of the planet's crust bulged under the action of gravity. Suddenly, everything seemed to have reached a critical point, and an unprecedentedly huge chasm appeared on the surface of the planet. The width of the chasm could almost accommodate the entire Himalayas, and it quickly spread along the path of the sun.
The high temperature caused the rock formation to become fragile, and this became a fatal breakthrough point.
Tens of millions of rock fragments flew towards the sun like shrapnel. One-third of the surface of Zorm was almost peeled off in an instant, and the huge chasm turned into an ugly and terrible scar, the width of which could almost accommodate a moon.
Wuyue and the others on the bridge screamed. The MDT screamed in the communication channel. "Buddy! The sun has reached its peak! "
When the blast that could almost shake an ordinary person into powder came, Hao Ren suddenly calmed down. At the same time, some vague thoughts that even he himself could not fathom emerged in his mind. He asked Nolan a strange question. "You didn't fall asleep?"
The virtual world where Nolan was in was ushering in the last dream. The whole world was slowly going into darkness, and all humans would die peacefully in their sweet dreams. At this time, Nolan was probably the only human in the world who was still awake. After hearing Hao Ren's question, she instinctively froze for a moment, and then finally realized that something was wrong. "I … I'm still awake. I don't know what's going on, but I seem to be fine."
Hao Ren temporarily hung up the communication and quickly ran to the black device that he had inquired about before. This device recorded information about the construction of the virtual world and the transformation of the First Born. Fortunately, the bunker was really strong, and it was protected by the huge body of the First Born. Now the equipment here was still working.
After opening the search function, Hao Ren did not hesitate to enter the keyword "Nolan".
Sure enough, the corresponding information popped up, and the content shocked Hao Ren. "This is …"
Vivian and Lily heard the news and rushed over. They were also stunned when they saw the content of the information. Hao Ren slowly breathed a sigh of relief. "No wonder, I knew there were so many unusual things about her. Her identity must be extraordinary, but I didn't expect …"
Lily murmured to herself and continued the second half of the sentence. "She is the only NPC in the world."
"It's not quite accurate to call her an NPC. She is the other part of the virtual world that corresponds to the First Born," said Hao Ren as he quickly turned over a plan in his mind. At the same time, he sent all the findings here to the Imperial Admiral. "MDT, I need some technical support here."
"Technical support? What's the yield? "
"… I mean real technical support." Hao Ren gritted his teeth. "Tell me, how can this information be used?"
The MDT realized that it had misunderstood. It quickly checked the information that had just been uploaded. Before it had time to be surprised by Nolan's true identity, it had already thought of a solution. "According to the information, Nolan is the consciousness representative of the mechanical part of this' server '?"
"It's not accurate to say that she is the consciousness representative. She doesn't know this. She is just a monitoring program of this virtual system. Her own will has nothing to do with this task. Her job is to live in the virtual world, so that the mechanical equipment outside can judge the stability of the system," Hao Ren explained. "Now she can't affect this system. In fact, she should not have this ability from the beginning … After all, she is just a detection code. "
"That's not important. What's important is that she has a position in the system registry. There is a line inside her that is directly connected to the consciousness of the First Born. Even if she doesn't know this line, this connection can still be used," the MDT said. "I can set up a translation program. You go and talk to Nolan. I will check the connection between Nolan and the system, and then use her as a springboard — connect your mind directly to the mind of the First Born. This way, you can not only keep the First Born awake, but also ask where the brain is. The next thing will be very simple. "
"Okay, it's worth a try," Hao Ren said without hesitation.
"Are you sure? The mental power of the First Born is overwhelming. You may become an idiot the moment you hear its whisper. "
Hao Ren smiled. "But it's a good kid, isn't it? Don't talk so much nonsense, tell me what to do. "
(I recommend a book, Chronicles of Unusual Beasts, a WOW novel. The writing is creative and imaginative. It's a high-quality beast novel that I haven't read in the past few years. The original title of the book was The Frenzy of Beasts, but the name was too weird, so the author changed it to the current one. =)
