Global Weirdness: People Survive in Ultra

Just as everyone was getting excited, a fighter plane roared past overhead.

The huge wind blew Meng Yao's hair into a mess.

He glanced up warily: "The defense team is here, we should leave first."

Lopus nodded behind him.

He immediately grabbed Nan Xizi and Meng Yao with both hands and flew forward.

A few minutes later, they finally returned to the city.

Hiding in the alley, Meng Yao looked around and only retracted his head after making sure that there was no one around.

"Senior, are you capable of fighting now?"

For some reason, Nan Xizi now looks completely like a normal human being.

Four-Armed Ace's body also disappeared inexplicably.

Of course, this is also the reason why Nan Xizi suspects that this world is fake.

When she was in the lunar shelter, she had transformed into a virtual state through Dr. German's method in order to avoid danger.

The original body also remained somewhere on the moon.

In any case, it is impossible to suddenly possess a body.

Nan Xizi pinched her chin and said, "Fighting is not a problem. Although my body has become like this, my fighting skills are still there."

Meng Yao nodded.

After all, because of the inexplicable passage of time, their status as wanted criminals has not been eliminated.

Not only does he have to face Goroki, but he also has to be wary of pursuit from the defense team.

After briefly confirming the route, Meng Yao and the other two walked left and right in the alleys and finally arrived at Dagu's residential building.

Meng Yao found a secluded corner and looked towards Dagu's house: "At this time, I wonder if Dagu is home."

"Isn't he going to work?"

Lopus folded his hands and shook his head: "No, I feel he is still at home."

"Not at work?"

Meng Yao was puzzled, but it was a good thing that Dagu was there.

After confirming that Dagu was at home, the three of them slowly walked into the residential building.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but once you entered the residential building, the light suddenly dimmed, and you even felt a cold wind blowing in your face.

This is a very old community, and with Dagu's salary he can only afford to live in a house like this.

After they went up a few floors, Lopus suddenly felt something strange.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, while he silently sensed the movements around him.

"Lopus, what's wrong? Is there something unusual?"

"Um......"

Lopus nodded and shook his head, hesitantly saying, "I don't know if this is abnormal, but the people on the floors I just walked past...seemed to be watching TV?

What kind of abnormality is this?

Meng Yao frowned, waiting for Lopus's next words.

Sure enough, Lopus said, "But there is no sound from the TV in every house. I only hear——"

"The rustling of snowflakes."

Meng Yao's pupils shrank.

Nan Xizi walked to the front and suddenly waved: "Come here."

Meng Yao and Lops, who were discussing, stopped talking and came to Nan Xizi with confusion.

I saw that the residents on this floor had their doors half open.

Maybe the weather is too hot, so it's normal to open the door for ventilation.

But because the door was wide open, Meng Yao and the other two could clearly hear the rustling sound coming from inside the house.

They tiptoed to the door and looked inside.

The room was relatively clean and the TV was on.

Amidst the dancing snowflakes and the continuous rustling sound, they only saw a figure sitting quietly in front of the TV.

After watching for a few seconds, the figure did not move.

The three of them retracted their heads and walked up a few more stairs before discussing quietly, "It does look a little unusual."

"This kind of snowflakes is not the first time I've seen them. They appeared in Dagu's house and in the restaurant kitchen."

Lopes said, "Could this be some kind of message from Aix?"

Meng Yao shook his head: "Unlikely, I think this must represent another signal."

Nan Xizi spoke up, leading the topic to another direction: "You said that Dagu didn't go out today-"

"Is he looking at the snowflakes too?"

Meng Yao felt that this was very possible!

The three of them immediately stopped hiding their movements and ran upwards with a thud, and soon arrived in front of Dagu's room.

Meng Yao knocked on the door several times and was even ready to kick it.

Snapped!

The door opened.

Dagu looked puzzled: "It's you guys, where did you go? Why didn't I see you this morning?"

"Are you okay?" Meng Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "Then why didn't you go to work?"

"The TV's broken." Dagu shrugged. "It just so happens that I've been exhausted by all the weird things that have happened these past few days, so I just took a leave."

Meng Yao turned his head and looked inside the house.

I saw that Dagu's TV was indeed flashing with snowflakes, and there was an open toolbox next to it.

"Are you okay?"

Dagu was even more puzzled: "What could possibly happen to me?"

After saying that, he made way and invited Meng Yao and the other two into the house.

As for Nan Xizi, Meng Yao briefly introduced her and said nothing more. Da Gu hesitated for a moment, then did not stop her.

After patting the TV, Meng Yao was still worried, so he turned to Lopus and said, "Lopus, can you test this TV?"

"Do you think I'm X, or the Doctor?"

Lopez spread his hands, but finally squatted down in front of the TV to check it.

Meng Yao was helpless, mainly because he was too short of manpower around him.

Previously, there was Aix for analysis, Nan Xizi for experience, and a doctor for research...

However, when mentioning Aix, Meng Yao thought of the radio on the roof.

That thing is still on the rooftop!

Meng Yao immediately went to the rooftop with Nan Xizi.

When I opened the door to the rooftop, I saw that the radio was still there.

Meng Yao took a few quick steps forward and grabbed the radio. He saw that the station search function finally stopped at one frequency and did not move anymore.

A rustling sound continued to come from inside.

Meng Yao had been feeling a bit nervous because he'd been hearing this rustling sound for the past two days. He frowned and tapped the radio: "The station search has stopped, but why is there no response?"

"Aix! Aix!"

Meng Yao continued to clap several more times before a response finally came through the radio: "Um...Meng Yao?"

"You are finally back!"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from inside, Meng Yao's expression finally relaxed, but he quickly asked anxiously: "How are you now? Why did you suddenly run out of the terminal?"

Axe's voice was also anxious.

He was already digitalized, and now he inexplicably lost the terminal's support, and could only turn into invisible radio waves floating in the sky. He felt like a rootless duckweed, floating in the air.

This is too insecure.

"I don't know!" he replied. "I've been like this since I came back to this world."

Meng Yao held the radio. Although he didn't know if Aix could sense it, he felt that this would at least comfort him a little: "Don't worry, try to get into my phone, just like you did before."

Meng Yao freed one hand and touched his pocket.

But then he remembered that he didn't have a cell phone, so he called Nan Xizi over and borrowed her cell phone to hold it close to the radio.

The radio buzzed, and after a few minutes, Axe's voice came out: "I-I...I can't do it!"

"I seem to be trapped somewhere, it's so dark around!"

"black?"

Meng Yao frowned: "What else can you see besides darkness?"

"It seems like there are a lot of circuit boards and virtual light flowing."

It sounded like Axe was looking around carefully: "I seem to be inside some huge machine. This... is a ball!"

ball!

Meng Yao became more and more confused. He thought about it according to Aix's description, but soon found that he did not seem to have seen any huge machine that met the requirements in his memory.

Where can I find such a machine?

While she was thinking hard, she saw Nan Xizi's phone vibrate, and a text message appeared on it: [Target found! ]

"Aix?"

Meng Yao was shocked, but quickly realized: "This tone is wrong!"

"Are you the AI ​​Infinity from the Defense Force? How did you find your way here?"

[Under the defense team's setup, I can connect to any electronic device in any area, even if it is not connected to the local area network.]

The text continued to flash: [I hacked into this phone last night in the combat vehicle and found that you were normal.]

When Meng Yao heard this, he didn't think it was that strange.

As an AI working to assist the defense team, it seems normal for it to have this level of intelligence?

However, he quickly discovered another inconsistency in the AI's words: "Yesterday? Do you still remember what happened yesterday?"

When the white light washed over the place of death, not only did time go back a day, but the memories of everyone present at the time were also erased.

Even the information on mobile phones has a reverse bias.

But AI Infinity just happened to talk about "last night"?

"Could it be that your memory hasn't been erased?" Meng Yao felt he had found hope. "Then you can help us testify to the defense team and help us get rid of our status as wanted criminals!"

Infinity was silent.

A loading spinner wait sign starts flashing on the screen.

Apparently, Meng Yao's words had temporarily plunged the AI ​​into complex thought, for it was the first time Meng Yao had seen the AI ​​pause.

【Remember? No, I don’t remember.】

Wuxian finally spoke again: [I just noticed that a whole day's worth of data disappeared from my system logs. After tens of thousands of self-checks, I found that this wasn't a system bug.]

So I think something went wrong within the base.

Meng Yao listened quietly and showed a disappointed expression.

Sure enough, even the AI's memory disappeared.

But AI Infinity quickly said: [Forced by unknown dangers, I hope to seek your cooperation]

Based on my observations over the past two days, I believe you are not a criminal under the law.

"cooperate?"

Meng Yao couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you an AI? Logically, you should obey the defense team in everything."

"Have you gained consciousness?" Meng Yao changed the subject, lowering his eyes to look at the phone screen. "Or are you in disguise? Is this a deliberate ploy by the defense team to lure me in?"

Infinity answered quickly this time: [I haven't yet developed the kind of consciousness that you humans define.]

[And I am indeed following orders from the defense team. I am here to inform you on behalf of Dr. Hermann.]

I lost it, Hermann?

Meng Yao's expression changed quickly, from sinister to shocked, which made Nan Xizi shake her head.

Meng Yao clutched his phone tightly. "The doctor asked you to come? The doctor has recovered his memory?!"

[Yes, and this shouldn’t be the first time.]

Wuxian replied calmly: [After self-examination, I found that the log was missing 43 times.]

Uh--

Meng Yao couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this number: "Doesn't this mean..."

[Similar things have happened at least 43 times.]

Meng Yao suddenly felt a headache.

Aside from Jack's world, this was the longest he'd ever struggled. He'd failed over forty times, and it showed how complex the world of X was.

Meng Yao also remembered that when he met Gorumu at the place of his death, he said that the last time they met was two months ago.

At that time, Meng Yao just thought that the flow speeds of the two worlds were different.

Now it seems that I might have been trapped in this world for a long time!

Infinity continued to pop up words on the phone, not like humans who kept things secret: [That's why I chose to accept the doctor's advice and come to express my intention to cooperate with you.]

[At the same time, I have to tell you that the memory storage device prepared by the doctor has been damaged. This may be the last time the doctor will help you.]

Meng Yao pursed his lips.

He placed the radio on the ground and said solemnly, "My, I understand."

"So what's the Doctor's plan?"

The last six characters flashed on the screen: [Find a way, come to the base.]

Meng Yao was dumbfounded.

Putting aside the identity of the wanted criminal, AI Infinity now clearly tells Meng Yao that the defense team’s base is in danger.

In this situation, the doctor actually asked him to find a way to enter the base?!

Meng Yao whispered into the phone, "Can't the doctor come out to find us?"

Nan Xizi shook her hair and murmured softly, "Since the base is in danger, it means that the doctor himself is also in danger and is even under surveillance."

Meng Yao was embarrassed.

He hit his chest and then realized what was happening.

But I felt even more upset - I thought the doctor was here to help, but I didn't expect he was also waiting for rescue?

In this case, it is not as simple as simply sneaking into the base.

Meng Yao couldn't help but take out the Ace Medal and toss it around, but for the time being he had no better idea.

Looking at the phone again, Infinity had been disconnected.

"These AIs are so indifferent. They didn't even say a word when they left."

Meng Yao was unhappy and returned the phone to Nan Xizi.

At the same time he squatted down and patted the radio: "Aix?"

"Still there! Can this radio still pick up your signal?"

Aix's mood had improved a lot at this moment. After all, he finally met Meng Yao. He said slowly, "Yes, it's okay."

"But it's not convenient for you to carry a radio with you. Besides, I can't use any of my abilities right now."

No problem, let’s go!

Meng Yao pulled out the strap from the back of the radio and tied it around his waist.

Went down from the rooftop with Nan Xizi.

In the room, Dagu and Lopes were still fiddling with the TV.

The original big-headed TV had been completely removed by Lops.

Dagu wanted to cry but had no tears. When he saw Meng Yao coming, he burst into tears: "Brother, my TV, I spent three months' salary to buy it."

"It's so expensive. Your TV is made of gold."

Lopus pried the screw with the tip of his head dart, one eyeball a little flustered: "Uh, look at what you said, can my robot really fix your TV?"

Meng Yao didn't know how to start, so he could only say, "Don't worry, it won't get damaged."

"Go, Dagu, cook me two dishes."

He sent Dagu away.

Dagu was completely speechless and walked into the kitchen with tears in his eyes.

Nan Xizi was even more speechless watching from the side: "Did Dagu's memory disappear as well? How did it become like this?"

Her face was filled with pain and confusion.

"That's right. But unfortunately, we don't know how you recovered your memory, senior, and there's no way to replicate it on Dagu." Meng Yao sighed as he sat on the sofa, "Otherwise, I could help Dagu recover his memory, and maybe I could even find another medal."

But then again.

What would the two-in-one sublimation of the Ace Medal and the Tiga Medal be, the Light Saw Man?

While Meng Yao was daydreaming, he chatted with Nan Xizi about things in the place of death.

A moment later, Lopes, who was checking the TV, suddenly exclaimed.

The TV then broke in two.

Dagu, who was carrying the dishes, suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down.

Meng Yao supported him, and fortunately Nan Xizi offered compensation, so Dagu spared Lops.
