The Record of Unusual Creatures

Hao Ren stood on the bank of the river, which was shaped like metal. He looked at the endless gray-white river in front of him. Those thick, slowly squirming liquids that couldn’t help the blood of the origin of the association had a disturbing and dangerous atmosphere. Hey, all mercenaries are brave enough to keep a distance from the river bank, only he and Ulanov and Nolan stand in front. Ulanov’s hoarse voice came from the helmet: “The end of the world is only one step away.”

“Is this a nano-group?” Hao Ren looked down at the viscous liquid in the gray river. “It’s so big... scale.”

“Everyone knows that the Grey River is made up of nano-machines,” Nolan looked at Hao Ren. “When you escape from the natural city, you should cross one of the gray rivers. Have you not noticed?”

“One of them?” Hao Ren frowned, and then shifted the subject. “No, it was a critical situation. We were separated from the big forces. I didn’t have much chance to pay attention to the surrounding situation. How do you plan to cross the river? Rowing? ?"

"Wait for condensation," Nolan turned and walked away, and began to order loudly. "Everyone, rest in place, we will cross the river after dusk! Kim, Lorraine, guarantee that the armored car can be started at any time, and I want all electromagnetic sleepers for twenty-four hours. Start up if someone has a problem with the electromagnetic sleeper, report it immediately."

The mercenaries immediately acted under the command. They rested on the spot next to the armored vehicle, and took out the compressed dry food from the car to seize the time to replenish their physical strength. Carl walked around the soldiers and loudly reminded: "Do not touch the soil directly with your hands. Be optimistic about your kettle, discard it and discard it immediately! After half an hour, inject an anti-drug once again, and breathe a burning dose of twice the dose!"

Ulanov swayed toward the armored car: "Ah. I can't rely on anti-drugs to deal with the air here, my lungs are getting bad."

"He is actually a very optimistic guy." The mercenary elder sister who was very unrestrained was passing by and said casually. "But when he was joking with the internal organs, it was a headache. Saying that the good man heard that you came out of the shadows? Don't you want to start a love in the new environment?"

As she spoke to Hao Ren, the latter slightly opened half a step: "Need to throw you into the gray river to calm down?"

"Oh, no strength."

When everyone else walked away, Hao Ren turned back to the armored car. He remembered that there was a car computer that was always online, and the basic inquiry function was open to everyone, and he also saw how Nolan operated the car. That terminal. After a few moments of tossing, he successfully connected to the network and began to inquire about the gray river and the ruins of the North.

The situation of the northern ruins group need not be investigated. It refers to the entire area that was destroyed after the loss of control of the nano-fleet sixty-five years ago. This area consists of three dissolved cities and vast wilderness between cities. Hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land have been converted into forbidden places. And the goal of everyone's trip: the North Ring Tower is located in the south of the center of this ruin. As for the gray river... they are the remains of the nano-group.

The Grey River is not a single river. Hao Ren has always misunderstood this point. The real gray river refers to a large number of “rivers” that spread around the ruins of the Northland as if they were cracked by radial tortoises. After removing the smaller tributaries, the total number of large-scale gray rivers reached hundreds. The entire northern ruin group was blocked as if it were a spider web. Looking down from the air, the ruins of the Northland are like a **** eye, and the Grey River is the blood around the eyeball: to go to the North Ring Tower. It is necessary to spend the gray river.

According to the rough maps found on the Internet, the main routes between the natural city's city-state and the unreachable zone also need to pass through one of the gray rivers. Nolan will think that Hao Ren has seen the gray river.

Although the nano-groups have eroded everything in this area, they do not cover 100% of the ruins in the North. In fact, the remaining nano-groups are concentrated in the countless “grey rivers”. In the gray river, it is divided into numerous "islands". These islands are covered with nano-mechanical remnants. The soil is filled with toxic substances created by the disorder of the cluster, and all kinds of terrible gray-white "mucus" are everywhere. However, in the northern ruins, these isolated islands are the only safe place to stay.

Nolan seems to know the best route. That should be a series of continuous land, only a few gray rivers can be reached to reach the ring tower remains.

"Do you think this has a sense of violation?" The voice of the data terminal sounded in Hao Ren's mind. “All the information mentions the loss of control of the nano-groups, but there is no information on how they are controlled... These things could have destroyed the whole world, but why are they stopping in the Grey River?”

"I can't find it on the Internet, it may have been erased," Hao Ren turned off the computer and turned away from the train. "I went to Nolan to talk. What do you think of staying in the portable space?"

"It's still okay, this machine has found the place where you put the gravity generator. Now I have built a 1.0g standard ground. I am practicing walking." The voice of the data terminal is very pleasant. "This machine feels like this body." However, walking is still like cerebral thrombosis, and training is not effective. Probably compatibility has encountered bottlenecks."

"...well, you are happy, don't mess with my arsenal."

Hao Ren found Nolan, who was standing alone on the bank of the river, facing the darker and darker sky. The figure of the gray-haired girl was unusually thin in the dim sky. He leaned back from the back, and when he was still a dozen meters away, he saw Nolan’s ears move slightly: it was a wary and intimidating mercenary leader.

When the other party turned his head, Hao Ren waved his beckoning: "Why don't you be with everyone?"

"The Grey River is about to condense," Nolan used his chin to indicate the river. The viscous liquids were surging faster and slower, and showed signs of solidification. "After dusk, the nano-group will temporarily stop moving and become It is like a plane like an alloy block, enough to carry the armored vehicle. Of course, the premise is that the electromagnetic dormant device should not stop, otherwise these things will wake up in an instant, and I have a group of people who are so dead."

Nolan’s mood seems to be very good now, or it’s a little bit too excited. She is not as indifferent as before, but she is patiently explaining Hao Ren’s question. The latter thinks this is a good time to ask questions: “Speaking six How did humans stop these uncontrolled nano-frames fifteen years ago?"

“Stop?” Nolan shook his head faintly. “No one stopped them. The fleet stopped flying. At that time, many people thought that the world would be destroyed. All countermeasures and safety devices did not work. The people here are waiting to die. It is the nano-group suddenly stopped and let go of human life. See these river banks?"

Nolan slammed his feet and stepped on the metal floor. These “river banks” were shaped like rocks in nature, but the material was metal.

“These things that look like barriers are not artificial. They are made by the nano-funds themselves. They set the scope of their activities for themselves, so that human beings can continue to fight and fight outside the site of the fleet. The original nano-machine group should cover the whole world. , proliferating, continually swallowing until the planet turns into a mass of mud...but they themselves make a complex container and put themselves in it."

Hao Ren blinked his eyes: "Why is this?"

"Who knows? Scientists can't tell," Nolan's mouth was slightly upturned. "You should ask Ulanov, he is an expert in this area, but I guess he won't like this topic."

"Ah, since I have already come here, I don't mind talking to you about this." Ulanov's voice suddenly came from the side. He came to Hao Ren and watched quietly. The calmer the gray river, "Some people speculated that the 'master' computer had successfully sent the last control signal before the computer crashed, so that the fleet stopped growing, and some people suspected that the 'master' computer is still running, they are buried deep underground, Powered by a nuclear reactor, it can theoretically run so far. If it is considered that it controls the nano-group to maintain itself in the ground, it may be possible to run forever."

Ulanov said that this pause, continued in a mocking tone: "There are more crazy speculations, claiming to be a variant of the Rangers. People believe that nano-groups have evolved intelligence based on the wisdom of some superhumans. Logic made the decision to preserve the world, only to observe the evolutionary process of mankind. The Rangers regarded the nano-group as the new master of the world, and they demonstrated their evolutionary superiority by attacking other humans without discrimination, and considered this You can get a place in the New World when the 'Judgment Day' arrives. There are countless sayings like this."
