Xu Xianxian stared at the colored liquid on her fingertips for a long time before blinking. Then, red Dan Qi rose from her palm and directly evaporated the colored liquid.
She shook her head and ran to the other side without saying a word, no longer paying attention to the robot Li Ke next to her.
Everything about this nuclear wasteland was filled with absurdity and strangeness, and for Xu Xianxian, there was an indescribable sense of disharmony. This was the instinctive feeling of a martial artist.
What's more, at her current level, she knows every part of the body very well and should not be confused by external mental factors.
But just now... she had inexplicably fallen asleep, trapped in a strange dream that seemed as real as it was. If Li Ke hadn't woken her up, she might have been contaminated and corrupted in the dream.
"Boss Xu, don't you want me to lead the way?"
Seeing the little girl running to the other side, Li Ke touched the back of the hard metal head and asked with some confusion.
He couldn't understand why the other party fell asleep just now, and he didn't understand why the other party turned around and left.
"No need, let's go our separate ways."
Xu Xianxian didn't even turn her head, just waved her hand, and then her pace gradually began to quicken.
After more than ten seconds, the girl ran away and it seemed that she was going back the same way she came.
Going back the same way is indeed a relatively safe approach, but if she does that, she will have to look for the Luxian Sect again among the mountains, which will undoubtedly take a lot of time.
But the Bloodwood Gate's duration is limited.
"There must be something inside this nuclear ruins. I can't go any deeper."
However, Xu Xianxian, who had been contaminated by her dream, instinctively sensed the immense danger and didn't want to risk choosing another route. So, she gritted her teeth, transformed into a blood-red humanoid rabbit, and leaped directly towards the foggy entrance.
Then, in the empty nuclear ruins, only the robot Li Ke was left standing there, somewhat confused. He stared at the place where the other party had left for a long time.
"Are all new humans so unpredictable?"
Li Ke touched his metal forehead and sighed.
After so many years of sleep, this was the first time he had seen a living human being. Unfortunately, she left without saying a word. However, compared to people of his generation, this girl's personality seemed a bit capricious.
Next to him, the colorful river polluted by nuclear waste was still emitting misty smoke, corroding the only component in the air.
"In this case, I have no choice but to find the exit alone." Li Ke glanced around and walked towards the metal mountain. "But hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know what the situation is like outside..."
He felt somewhat lost. As a member of the mechanical army, his sole mission was to protect his country. But now, not only was the mechanical army gone, but even his country was gone. He didn't know what the point of waking up now was.
Compared with radioactive elements with half-lives of thousands, tens of thousands, or even billions of years, the decline of individual humans and even the decline of human civilization are really too short.
A few hundred years is enough to change everything.
The laboratory under my feet, which is completely unrecognizable from its former appearance, deeply illustrates this truth.
"But I'm not in a hurry to go out. Let me clean this place up first and see if I can find anything useful."
Li Ke stood at the edge of an abandoned hill piled with various metals, glanced from top to bottom, and then began a positioning scan.
He is not equipped with an armed module now, and has no power to resist when encountering new humans with extraordinary powers. It would be great if there was something in these wreckage that could repair his armed module.
"There's a high-energy reaction here, and it's very mild in nature. It might be an uncontaminated radiation-resistant substance!"
He quickly scanned and analyzed the surface of the metal object in front of him, and looked at a corner of a metal gap.
Li Ke extended his robotic arm, fumbled inside, and took out a black metal object.
"This appears to be a holographic ring for communications." He held it in his hand, two streams of data appearing from his pupils as he began transmitting information to the black ring. "C12 War Zone, number B735, requesting authentication."
“Ding ding…”
"Authentication successful, parsing started, please wait..."
After about a few seconds, a mechanical sound came from inside the black ring, and then a white beam of light as thick as a thumb shot out from the end of the ring's pattern and landed on the ground not far away.
Then a holographic projection several meters long and wide appeared on the ground. The image was a little unstable at first, but then gradually solidified and three-dimensional scenery began to appear.
This is the most advanced masterpiece of mankind in the 22nd century. The complete virtual reality technology, combined with the holographic projection technology, can construct realistic scenes. Moreover, these projections cannot be distinguished by the naked eye unless they are directly touched.
"this..."
Li Ke recognized the structure of this scene. It was originally an ecological cabin inside the laboratory, but it no longer exists.
Just as he was about to walk forward to check and scan, a middle-aged man appeared in the holographic projection and ran in from outside the eco-cabin with some anxiety.
This man looked familiar. Judging from the robot's memory chip, he should be one of the original heads of the laboratory, Dr. Zhao Tao.
"It's not directional data, but a recorded scene playback..." Seeing the other party's somewhat flustered appearance, Li Ke stopped and his expression became a little confused. "But why did Dr. Zhao Tao record this scene?"
He was a little confused, but then his doubts were answered. After Dr. Zhao Tao hurriedly closed the special alloy door, he turned to Li Ke.
Li Ke didn't show much expression because he knew that Dr. Zhao Tao was only aiming at the recording camera, not at anyone.
Zhao Tao in the projection said, "Listen, no matter who you are, as long as you have the authority to open the ring, you are either from the government or the military. What I am about to describe, although incredible, is true. This information is extremely important to our country, and even to all of human society..."
"I don't have much time, so I'll make it short."
Bang——
From Li Ke's perspective, the virtually projected alloy door was making an extremely harsh impact sound. The originally hard special alloy had begun to twist and deform, and strange huge palm prints appeared on it from time to time.
Dr. Zhao Tao inside was completely unaware of this, but he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "We've been deceived!"
"The biggest lie of this century is humanity's exploration of the solar system!"
"because..."
"The so-called solar system doesn't exist at all!"
