The Record of Unusual Creatures

After hearing Nolan’s words, Hao Ren didn’t react at all: “The world is burning?!”

Nolan’s brief silence for a moment seemed to be organizing the language, and in the background of the communication channel, he could hear the faint noisy and explosive sounds from afar. After a few seconds, Nolan reopened: I don't know how to describe it... everything is suddenly burning spontaneously, including water and stones. I just watched a building suddenly burned like cotton. Now the streets outside are full of refugees... humans themselves It is the only thing that does not ignite spontaneously."

“Spontaneous combustion?! Water and stone?” Hao Ren’s heart was at the same time. At the same time, the rock formations around him began to vibrate again. A hot underground steam swiftly blew through the passage. Even though there was a shield, he could still I feel that this heat is enough to melt gold and iron. The situation in the virtual world is instantly linked to the situation in front of us. The answer is very obvious. "It may be that the disaster in the real world has affected the virtual space..."

Another loud noise from the rock formation came from nearby. Lily immediately grabbed Hao Ren’s arm and dragged it forward: “The landlord is going, it’s not safe!”

Hao Ren was dragged forward by Lily and quickly asked about the situation at Nolan: "What about your side now? Is the fire spreading around you?"

"The phenomenon of spontaneous combustion seems to have stopped temporarily. I have a distance from the fire. I will not have a problem for a while," Nolan’s tone was very short. "But I saw that the fires that were burned before could not be extinguished... ...you are in the real world? Now I believe in you, I really believe what happened outside?!"

To be honest, Nolan didn't know how to confirm that Hao Renzhen came from the real world. But the current situation makes these details seem irrelevant. The world in front of her is experiencing an earth-shattering vision, a situation that has not happened in countless cycles before: the previous world scripts maintained at least "reasonable" no matter how crazy. The flaming sea that is ubiquitous in front of the sky is like a nightmare that ignores the laws of nature. I think of Hao Ren who suddenly disappeared, and what the other party said before leaving. Nolan can only use the "real world" as the last straw.

"The outside world is also burning... In fact, the whole planet is slowly falling into the sun, I am afraid this situation has affected the virtual world," Hao Ren described the real world as short as possible, then suddenly Think of the communicator with projection function, "You open the cover under the communicator, there is a blue button, click on it, I will pass you some pictures in the past."

After a few moments, Hao Ren sent Zum to the scene of the sun and the underground bunkers in front of his eyes were sent to Nolan.

"As you can see. The real world outside is like this... It was destroyed thousands of years ago or even a long time ago, and the temperature of the planet should be two or three thousand years ago. We have not found any traces of human civilization on the surface of the planet. But there is a huge refuge underground, and we are fortunate enough to find the entrance to the refuge, and now we are trying to get into the core of the refuge."

Nolan looked at the image of the horrible hot sun in front of her eyes. For a moment, she seemed to forget how to speak. The knowledge and experience she had accumulated through countless cycles before became a joke. Those things are in front of the truth of the world. It didn't work.

The real situation in the world made Nolan horrified for a long time, under normal circumstances. No matter who needs it, it takes some effort to accept this shocking fact. However, now that time is not waiting for people, she can only force herself to accept the reality immediately and find a way to do something. Fortunately, the calmness that has been experienced in the long-term sand-sanding place can still play a little role. She patted her cheek and calmed down: "What can I do here?"

"Report the virtual world at any time. Keep your contacts open, maybe my pda... Patty can analyze the location of the server based on these signals. The other is to protect myself. This is probably the last time this round. This time. If it’s dead... then it’s really alive.”

Nolan snorted, and after a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but ask: "What are you going to do?"

"Find the server that generates the virtual world. All humans should be stored there. I have a spaceship here. I can move the server away," Hao Ren said as much as possible in his own tone, as if everything had Ready, things will really be so easy to develop, "Don't worry, I have done more than this larger relocation work to give you a move than to relocate a large computer room."

Nolan seemed to let her down, and she took a few breaths: "Okay, I believe you... Anyway, there is nothing else to believe. I wish you all the best."

"I wish you peace and hide the fire."

After the communication hangs up, the sound of the data terminal suddenly pops in: "You didn't tell her that this planet can only last for more than forty hours."

"Let's make the situation as optimistic as possible. We still have more than forty hours to clean up this mess," Hao Ren sighed. "Just find it before the server burns..."

"The premise is that you really have a way to move the server out. Considering the size of the shelter and the complex underground conditions, you may need a lot of construction machinery to get this done, and you have to have a longer time..."

"Well, these wait for the server to say," Hao Ren interrupted the analysis of the data terminal. "Now give me a more precise guide. The general location of the server has been scanned for so long. Should it be a little progress?"

The data terminal paused for a few seconds, it seems to be summarizing the data, and then reported: "Maintain the current direction, you are going to the depths of the shelter, the machine is scanning underground a large number of current signals, distributed in a network of refuge And its surroundings, it should be the server's power supply system. A major node is just a few kilometers in front of you, where you should at least touch the edge of the system."

Hao Ren, they have to find a virtual world server in the underground of this collapsed planet. The search work that is so important is of course not just luck and impulse. The forward route of the people is indicated by the spacecraft radar, and the data terminal is constantly analyzing the energy response of the suspected server signal deep in the stratum. Although these guidelines are not accurate, the general direction can be guaranteed. Therefore, although everyone seems to be drilling around in the hole like a fly, it is actually going deep into the shelter.

This can be seen from the increasingly wide ramps and the more common equipment room: they are very close to the core of this man-made bunker.

At this moment, the road was squeezed to a certain extent, and the superalloyed walls on both sides were cracked. Some dark red rocks squeezed into the corridor from the cracks, which looked like solidified resin that penetrated into the gap. Lily cut a small stone from above and took it into her pocket. She turned and asked, "How long have we been here?"

Vivienne took out his mobile phone and looked at the time: "Don't be at the time of the surface, we have been in the underground for three hours. According to the rotation period of this planet, the night has passed more than half."

Hao Ren connected to the spacecraft's communication: "Terminal, what's the situation above?"

“The good news is that it is welcoming the calmest moment in the back sun. The next two or three hours, the formation activity will be reduced to the lowest value. The bad news is that the sun will rise after three hours, and the sun will heat the rock formation above your head. Everything will be active. Staying below will be very exciting. You'd better find the server before that, otherwise you can only return in advance," the terminal reported, suddenly raising the tone. "There is also a bad news. The probe that went out shot a large-scale magma sac burst suddenly on the sunny side a few seconds ago. About a crust that is as large as South America was blown into space. It is estimated that after ten minutes, you are there. There will be an earthquake."

"Earthquake... The earthquake is almost as fast as drinking water," Hao Ren looked at the clod stone falling from the top of his head, sighing with a smile. "The real bad news is that the planet is about to reach the tipping point, the crust Start to be stripped off by the sun, as long as one point is broken, then I am afraid it will be like a domino chain collapse."

"The calculation of this machine will not be wrong. Before the fourth sunrise, the planet can still hold on. Of course, the following refuge can not be said."

"...this is really a good word for you." Hao Ren said, hanging up the communication.

They continued to travel between the seemingly endless, sloping passages and shafts, and speeded up, sometimes even falling into cracks that suddenly appeared on the road. Fortunately, the way forward is accurate, the roads in front of them are getting wider and wider, and there are large-scale caves and structures that look like abandoned settlements. The latter may be the last place in the real world where the Zum people lived, but unfortunately the settlement is aggravated and there are no lines or equipment connected to the virtual world.

As they entered another large cave, Lily, who was running around as a scout, suddenly exclaimed: "Let's see this!"

A group of people came to Lily, a huge, tree-like column through the rock formation, lying in front of everyone.

"If you don't admit it..." Hao Ren swallowed. "This is the eldest son's tentacles..." (To be continued...)
