Chapter 107 The mechanical angel's death may be a metaphor. ...
Falling to death may be a metaphor.
Li Ming thought to himself in the darkness: Maybe Jiang Huai's idea is right. That would be the last time Li Ming and Jiang Huai saw each other...
There is no need to wonder about the mystery of the teaching building anymore.
He was the Apocalypse Knight who had once conquered the Memory Tide, and had once returned to the Abyss through the folded space of the teaching building. This combination always caused some chain changes in the rules of the tide and the teaching building.
After all, not all disaster areas have been rolled back to the time before the disaster.
Thinking of this, Li Ming suddenly felt it was ridiculous. What was the purpose of the Chinese survivors' attempt to retake Shencheng last week after they were severely damaged by the Blood Moon's Nest?
The first thing Li Ming felt was the cold.
The biting cold pierced his body like a sharp sword. He was buried in the empty land by frost, and even breathing became a kind of pain.
Heat is being lost and life is fading.
Li Ming was waiting for his own death, and then he heard panicked shouts from a foreign country: "Why are there people here? Hey, friend, hold on! I'm saving you!"
So the cold was driven away by hands.
The intermittent words of the visitor mixed with electromagnetic sounds made Li Ming curious. Li Ming opened his eyes with difficulty, and then he saw a tall robot doll with a metallic luster on its skin.
[Revelation: Karina]
[Identity: S-level Revelation]
[Talent: S-44 Mechanical Angel]
[Note: A pioneer of mechanical civilization, an all-round armor that integrates air combat, naval combat, and land combat. Although the armor did not perform as well as expected due to the loss of rear support, it still does not affect its normal use. ]
【Replace flesh with machinery, and replace blood with condensate.】
[The human body is so fragile and so "indispensable", but the body of the machine can be so powerful and so "insignificant". The people of the mechanical civilization can no longer remember who first proposed the proposal, they only know——]
【Their bodies are mechanical from birth.】
[The emergence of cutting-edge technologies such as the transfer of consciousness and replacement of souls has made absurd technology a cold reality. From now on, they are no longer classified as "human beings." ]
"Great, you're still alive."
Karina first scanned Li Ming's physical condition with her alloy scanning eye, then smiled with relief. She stood up in the snow, and to Li Ming's surprise, she picked him up like a princess and said:
"It's still 11.7 kilometers to the nearest safe house. It will take 6 minutes to run at full speed. I've opened a light screen protection shield for you. Please make sure you hold on until then!"
"Ah?" Li Ming was at a loss.
But the enthusiastic and kind robot Ou Ke didn't care about Li Ming's struggle at all. The sound of an engine came from her ankles, which was the horn of running at full speed.
So Li Ming was taken away by the other party without any warning.
"Fuck!"
As the wind and snow blew in his face, Li Ming couldn't help but blurt out: "Isn't this too sudden?!"
"Did I do something wrong?"
After the two of them successfully arrived at the safe house, the disobedient mechanical girl looked at Li Ming who was autistic in the corner and said in a troubled tone: "I did everything according to the instructions given to me by the Black Emperor."
"Is it because of the princess hug I gave you? Do men care about these things?" Karina said as if she had suddenly realized something. "Oh, the Black Emperor does care about these things."
"..." Li Ming was silent.
He spoke for himself with difficulty: "Don't you think things are moving too fast?"
Karina shook her head blankly, obviously not understanding what Li Ming meant. She calmly analyzed: "In such an extremely cold area, staying outside for one more second increases the chance of freezing to death. I don't think I did anything wrong."
"Extremely cold area?"
“Yes, you are now at the South Pole.”
"Um?"
Li Ming was stunned after hearing this. He really didn't know that he had come to Antarctica.
So when Li Ming calmed down and thought about it, he found that his behavior was indeed inappropriate. Karina had done everything she could, and he really shouldn't let Karina feel that she had done something wrong because of the previous incident.
"I'm really sorry." Li Ming apologized deeply, "I'm not targeting you, I just... just experienced something that is very difficult for me to accept..."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with your behavior."
"Hmm?" Karina tilted her head in confusion.
She subconsciously glanced at the fierce snowstorm outside the window and really couldn't understand what Li Ming said. The fact that there was "a second living person besides her" in Antarctica was enough to shock her.
"Okay..." Karina shrugged knowing she was bored, "Although I don't know what you encountered, let's talk about it when you feel better."
"Hmm..." Li Ming responded disappointedly.
He still had a hard time accepting the news he had just received. If the purpose of the world rewind was to bring the Apocalypse Knights, who represented the Abyss, to an equal position with humans, then he might have been deceived from the beginning.
Why do this?
Li Ming hadn't even prepared himself for the fact that he was not human when he was caught off guard by the news. Now he didn't want to think about how he and Li Yixi met.
It's all a lie.
The life he experienced, the people he met, his love and hate... everything was a lie. If he was ready to return to the abyss from the beginning, why did he stay on Earth as a human?
Li Ming couldn't even guess his own thoughts now.
Li Ming curled up into a ball in annoyance, but when his eyes fell on the robot doll standing by the window, he inexplicably felt that he should not continue to be so autistic.
"I am Li Ming, a Chinese." Li Ming said in a low voice.
"Um?"
Karina turned her head in surprise, but she soon revealed a sweet smile like an angel and introduced herself confidently and generously: "I am Karina, an S-class Apocalypse from the United States. You can also call me the 'Mechanical Angel'."
“This is almost equivalent to the idol’s stage name.”
Is she such a cheerful and enthusiastic girl?
Li Ming was instantly distracted by Karina's smile. The reserved Chinese man crawled out of the corner with difficulty, and then was asked three questions by the American who suddenly approached:
"Tell me quickly, how did you end up in Antarctica? Are there other Chinese people besides you? Did you encounter something unhappy just now? Do you need my help? I think I am %￥#..."
Li Ming: “…”
Li Ming quickly pushed the other person away from him and said with difficulty: "Please give me some time to react."
"oh."
Karina blinked her eyes after hearing this, and then she realized that her behavior was inappropriate, although it was also because she hadn't seen a living person for several months.
"Oh my god, I never thought I would meet a living person in Antarctica."
Karina couldn't help but sigh afterwards. She said excitedly: "I thought I wouldn't meet anyone on this trip, but I didn't expect God to be on my side!"
She repeated the same sentiment, and Li Ming could see that she was really excited.
It was hard for her to keep quiet just now.
Li Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "How long has it been since you last met a living person?"
"About a month or so."
Karina sighed weakly, "I haven't met anyone since I left the United States. Although I met a disaster that looked like a human, I couldn't communicate normally."
Have we already settled for the second best of just "looking like a human"?
Li Ming's eyebrows jumped after hearing this. He carefully considered his words and asked cautiously: "Can I ask why you came out? Because I came to Antarctica suddenly, and now I don't know what happened..."
"Sure." Karina said candidly.
She didn't feel strange, nor did she think Li Ming was trying to get information. She acted like a little girl who was casually asked by a neighbor when she was out:
"The government asked me to go to the research base in Antarctica to investigate the situation."
"Antarctica? A research base?"
"Yes." Karina added casually, "I heard it was built in 1988 and officially put into use in 1992. If nothing goes wrong, this research base will be our first line of defense against disasters."
"Huh?" Li Ming was surprised.
Karina shrugged and said calmly, "So the government thought there might be a lot of valuable research data left in the base, so they asked me to come and investigate."
"They even teamed up with the Black Emperor to come and persuade me."
Karina felt angry just thinking about it: "Oswestre really pissed me off. The world is going to end tomorrow, and he still wants me to go out and look for information."
"He doesn't even think about whether I can return to the United States smoothly?"
Karina's last words unconsciously revealed her disdain for the Black Emperor and their special relationship. She and the Black Emperor had a very close relationship.
But Li Ming is not concerned about this aspect——
"Wait, wait!"
Li Ming quickly reached out to stop Karina from continuing. His mind was in a mess. What period had the Memory Tide taken him to?
So Li Ming hurriedly asked: "How many years after the disaster is it now?"
"After the catastrophe..."
Kalina wanted to answer, but after she understood the meaning of the question, she looked at Li Ming in surprise. Kalina pretended to be calm and answered: "The 10th year after the disaster."
Oh my god, he knew there was a problem with time... Li Ming broke out in a sweat after hearing this.
"It's you, Li Ming——"
Karina curiously leaned closer to Li Ming's face and asked, "In which year of the disaster did you escape here?"
"I..." Li Ming laughed dryly.
"Don't tell me nonsense." Karina complained arrogantly, "China fell three years ago. Now, no yellow people who go out call themselves Chinese."
"ah?"
"I can give you a recollection." Kalina rolled her eyes nonchalantly and revealed, "Three years ago, two S-level Apocalypses from China fell one after another. The two of them directly caused the complete fall of northern China."
"If you go to northern China now, you can still see a lot of corpses wandering around."
"Corpses wandering around?"
Li Ming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat:...This doesn't sound like something Jiang Huai did.
"Yes, yes."
Karina muttered with a strange look on her face, "I don't know how the tyrant's offspring can be a corpse, but in short, it is a corpse. Maybe he just has some strange habits."
Li Ming: “…”
Jiang Huai is now more wronged than Dou E.
