Wind Pro (11)
While the dragon and the priest were having a not-so-friendly but at least calm, without a single nonsense, the others exchanged their eyes and began to explore the underground library silently.
This place was not open to the public in the past, and only by applying for it can you enter. Most people do not get permission at all, so the reading area is not big and the passage between the bookshelf is slightly narrow. Most of the corpses are concentrated in the reading area - people always gather involuntarily when they are full of fear and have nowhere to escape.
After taking a few closer look, the situation of the corpse can better prove their previous guess that they may have died suddenly at the same time.
Weit's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he couldn't help but whisper a normal question to Tess: "Will he live here... not feel panicked?"
What's the difference between living in a cemetery?
"No." Taiss also answered him in a whispering voice, "He might be quite satisfied, because dead people are much quieter than living people."
Weiter couldn't help but shivered and dared not speak anymore.
"Is the big explosion in Fenglin City before or after the robot starts attacking?" Terry was also whispering to Northwestern.
Norwi is not a robot, but his memory will not go wrong. He can also combine all the information he has read to draw more prepared conclusions.
"According to the news provided by Su Nisupu, it was before, but in fact it should be a big explosion in the past and after, and there were more smaller ones." He replied, "'The Big Bang in Fenglin City' is just an vague general term."
The situation was so chaotic that the memories of those who escaped were very chaotic. No one could be sure what exactly kicked off the destruction, but most people realized at first what was going on, not because of the explosion, but because of the sudden interruption of energy supply across the city.
When power outages, water outages, all equipment that requires energy stops operating, no matter which energy they use.
But the so-called "all electronic devices are broken" is actually not accurate. At least, when the power outage was just now, public facilities were indeed destroyed, and private equipment with independent energy was not affected. However, as long as you have intelligence and are in a networked state, even if you are not a robot, you will not obey any commands and can only operate manually.
The communicator can still be turned on, but there is no signal, the spacecraft can be activated, and the weapon can be used normally. Most people who successfully escaped Fenglin City hear the explosion or learn that the robot is launching an attack and act immediately before they escaped. Even if they want to escape, it will be difficult to escape again.
Even if the thunderstorm had not yet formed at that time, the entire city was completely out of order.
Some people think that they heard a huge explosion before the power outage, but in some people's memory, the explosion happened after the power outage. One statement that was finally recognized by most people is that the long-planned robot used Star Network to control all smart devices and cut off the power supply. The power outage caused a failure of a certain experiment at the New Energy Research Institute. The first big explosion occurred, and the troops stationed nearby were transferred over. The robots took the opportunity to attack the palace and tried to hold the old emperor hostage, but because the palace used very few smart devices and robots, they failed. They also controlled Star Port at the same time and did not allow humans to enter until all the robots evacuated Fenglin City and completely destroyed the energy center before leaving. The explosion also rolled the nearby New Energy Research Institute in, causing a more violent explosion.
This second explosion caused a terrible storm that affected the entire planet and caused several other cities to fall into the sea. However, Feng Lincheng itself remained in the thunderstorm because of some force and still floated in the air.
"If that's the case," Terry speculated, "I suspect that the second explosion was not done by the robots... According to the way the robots act, their main purpose is not to retaliate against the Britans, but to escape from control."
Elsewhere in this star field, robots act almost simultaneously, but they only create chaos, indicating their "independence" and then take the opportunity to escape without any meaningless massacre and destruction.
Their calculation of results is more accurate than that of humans, and they do not have the uncontrollable emotions that humans do. If a devastating disaster occurs somewhere, it is probably because of human fear and anger, and it is not within the robot's plan.
As long as the purpose is achieved, they will not do anything unnecessary.
Even if Fenglin City still exists, even if the Britanns choose to escape unexpectedly, they will inevitably come back and re-control the city, which will distract their energy and create more opportunities for the robots.
They won't miscalculate this.
"Although the first explosion was violent, it did not reach the point of blowing up half of the city, nor did it cause an electromagnetic storm, so many people could still escape during this period," Terry said. "But the second explosion... was really deadly, and it is very likely..."
He could not explain. Is's voice involuntarily raised up came at this moment.
"They won't fight, are they?" Tes said, looking very worried, but a little excited... and not at all.
Weit felt that he was getting to know this red-haired woman who seemed to be afraid of the world's chaos - she might not really hope that they would fight, but "conversation full of disputes" is much more interesting than "calm conversation".
"...Go back and have a look." Terry said.
He was very interested in what Ice called "experiment"... That was Ikabird Beria's experiment!
.
Dragon and the priest did not fight, and they could not even quarrel. Is's unilateral aggression met Ikabird's faint sentence, "This is the scroll I prepared for myself", and immediately turned into a little awkward flame, shaking it weakly for a few times, trying hard to hold on if it is extinguished.
Tess took away the scroll from his hand lightly and quickly and handed it to Terry. Terry was observing Icabbard's expression in timidly while sweeping over the runes on the scroll, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
The spells sealed on the scroll may not be able to be understood so quickly when they change their lives. Terry once saw similar spells... The spell that sent him to the current timeline was actually created by Ichabod. It did not forcefully open up two different time and space, but searched for cracks that had already existed in time and space... Looking for the tributary formed by the River of Time, and then use it.
However, before the spell was completed, Ikabird died. After Ed returned to the "Lone Boat", although he kept warning them that such spells that attempt to travel through time and space were very dangerous, it could not prevent the academy from conducting various research.
And any spell requires experimentation - Terry is one of the voluntary experimenters.
The experiment was actually a failure. He landed alone at a time point that was not the target at all, and he didn't even think about going back for a long time.
He didn't feel that he could do it, and he was worried that his efforts would affect the world he was in.
He can only go with the flow like Ed once did... or go with the flow.
And now, he saw another kind of hope.
Ichabod's spells are not actually traveling through time and space, but allowing his consciousness to penetrate into the gaps in time and space to peek into the past or future. They cannot change anything - they will not really interfere with the river of time. Although danger still exists, the chance of success is higher, and they will not be backfired.
"I can!..." He spoke, and frozen in Is' angry gaze again, and then repeated in a smaller but still firm voice: "I'm willing to give it a try."
If it works... he actually doesn't have to go back to Guzhou, and he can't let go of his friends in this world, but if he can take a look at him... if he can take a look at his relatives, his classmates and teachers, his hometown, the hollowness in his heart should be able to fill it in, right?
"What you want to do is up to you." Ichabbard's calm and cold expression did not change because of the extra voluntary experimenter, "but this is the spell I created, not the message used for exchange."
Is' face became darker.
This means, if they are going to risk using this spell that is likely to make their consciousness lose in time and space, will they still have to pay him?!
Moreover, he threw this spell to him, not what he wanted to do!
"You..." he spoke, and was dragged by Tess.
"We have to discuss such an important matter," she said. "How about giving us some time?"
Even if you are bargaining, you have to find out the situation and be prepared before you talk about it!
Ikabbard raised his finger on the armrest of the lounge chair, which was considered an answer.
"The most suitable time is five days later." He reminded slowly.
.
"As he wants, five days later, whether we participate or not, he will act himself."
Even though he had returned to the spaceship, Alsey couldn't help but lower his voice: "Since that's the case, why not wait until he comes back successfully? Then exchange news with him... I know this sounds a bit cowardly and not very kind, but even if it costs more, it is much safer than a spell that no one can prove whether it is feasible."
This is the most cautious approach, but most people shook their heads at it.
"If he could really meet his request, he would not lie on purpose, but it would be hard to say whether he would mislead us intentionally or unintentionally." Is had calmed down at this moment, but he still did not expect any expectations of the bald pastor's "kindness". "And, what he was looking for and what he wanted to know was different from us, so he would not pay attention to some things at all."
You can't expect others to solve your own problems, especially those like Ichabod who can't see anything beyond your interests in your eyes.
