Chapter 317: Skynet Mutation

In the pitch-black night, the toll station was silent.

I don't know when it started, but the sounds of fighting and killing stopped, and the night returned to tranquility.

"According to the zombies' performance, there should be no difference between night and day. And those evolvers, by this time, they should also feel hungry." Ye Nan thought, and looked at Avril, who was holding Alice behind him.

This female police officer chose him when facing a choice, making him feel a trace of faint joy in his heart, so he also made up his mind to bring Avril out safely.

Seeing Ye Nan turn back, Avril immediately became excited, her big eyes looking pitifully at Ye Nan: "I'm hungry, let's go find something to eat."

"In this wilderness, where can we find food?" Ye Nan grabbed the deepening weeds with one hand and pulled them down. "If you're really hungry, just eat this."

"You want me to eat this?" Avril widened her eyes, looking at Ye Nan in disbelief. "This is grass, you actually want me to eat grass."

"Why can't grass be eaten? It's rich in vitamin C, vitamin..." Ye Nan pulled out a bunch of nonsense, just to tell Avril that this thing could be eaten.

Avril looked at Ye Nan speechlessly, almost going crazy. "I'm a lady, you're a gentleman. Shouldn't a gentleman yield to a lady and satisfy a lady's request?"

"Yes, but that's what a gentleman should do. Unfortunately, I don't consider myself a gentleman, so I don't intend to do that." Ye Nan said righteously. "Also, it's night now, and zombies are elusive. If you're not careful and get scratched by a zombie, it will be very troublesome."

Avril heard this and hurriedly said: "But there should be some in the toll station. Look, we haven't left this toll station for long. As long as we go back, we can find a lot of food."

Indeed. Because of the conflict with Marcus, they had stayed in the toll station for a long time. Plus, Ye Nan was busy dealing with the fish that slipped through the net under the energy tsunami, which delayed quite a bit of time, so they hadn't left the toll station too far yet.

"The toll station should have been cleared out by people. But we can call..." Ye Nan said with a smile, but suddenly, his expression changed. A translucent mental shield enveloped Ye Nan, Avril, and Alice.

"What's wrong?"

The sudden change caught Avril off guard. Looking at the outside world through the protective shield, there was no danger at all, which made her even more confused.

"Just now, where the meteor fell, something was sending out a mental summons, summoning some people with wavering wills to become its servants." Ye Nan said sternly. "Don't leave the protective shield."

Just now, Ye Nan felt a tyrannical mental force. This mental force was summoning its servants, just like a deity summoning its believers. If he hadn't also studied mental power, he was afraid he would have been summoned by the owner of this mental force to become a servant.

"What is that thing?" Avril asked nervously.

"I don't know either. I need to ask Simila." Ye Nan raised his hand, his fingers sliding across his watch a few times, contacting Simila.

"Simila, mobilize a satellite to see what the situation is in Tokyo. I just felt a mental force, and this mental force is summoning servants."

"I'm afraid I can't. My control over satellites has dropped to the lowest point in history. In addition, I know a little bit about the situation in Tokyo."

"Just now, the Churchill space station encountered an invasion by some kind of creature and fell into Tokyo, Japan. This is the video."...

Simila's figure slowly disappeared, replaced by a picture.

A meteorite was flying rapidly toward Earth at an extremely fast speed. Just as it was about to approach Earth, it encountered an eerie beam attack, and the entire meteorite turned into particles.

At the same time, the Churchill space station approaching Earth also suddenly fell. Before falling, it issued a warning to Earth: "Warning, warning. The Churchill space station has encountered an invasion by an unknown force and is about to fall. Please have the ground command center prepare for reception."

"Also, look here." Simila opened her hand, and a small picture appeared in her hand. "This is the picture sent from inside the Churchill space station. In the picture, we can see three naked corpses similar to human females suddenly appearing on the Churchill, and beside them, they also brought crystal coffins."

"I suspect the meteorite that descended is some kind of alien creature's spaceship. As for the sudden beam of light, it is some kind of automatic defense weapon left on Earth by a super-ancient civilization or ancient aliens who descended. After all, there are many alien visitors on Earth."

"Churchill, female corpses, aliens, beam of light." Ye Nan recited all the keywords in these pictures. A very old movie surfaced in his mind.

"The movie 'Lifeforce' tells the story of the spaceship Churchill approaching Halley's Comet, wanting to explore its internal structure. Captain Tom Carlson led a group of team members out of the cabin and found an abandoned spaceship hidden inside the comet, containing many strange biological mummies and three humans sleeping in crystal coffins. To solve the mystery, Tom ordered them to be brought back to the spaceship."

"Thirty days later, the empty Churchill flew to Earth, and the Space Agency sent the Columbia to dock with it. Astronauts found traces of burning and the three sleeping people in the ship, and all the crew members were dead. After returning to Earth, the female among the three suddenly woke up and absorbed the essence of the young guard. Afterward, the guard turned into a mummy and eventually weathered away. Soon the other two woke up, and a disaster was descending on Earth..."

Ye Nan recalled the plot of 'Lifeforce' again, but except for the name Churchill and insignificant things like meteorites, the other plots had changed.

The Churchill spaceship became the Churchill space station, Halley's Comet became an ordinary meteorite, and the landing site was simply changed from London, England, to Tokyo, Japan. All this meant that this movie had been changed beyond recognition.

"Is it because you can't wait?" Ye Nan looked up at the sky, wanting to communicate with the existence in the netherworld. "From the arrangement of various plots, you seem to be a bit impatient, which is why the plot was changed beyond recognition."

"What plot, what arrangement? Brother Ye Nan, what are you talking about? Why can't I hear clearly?" Simila listened to Ye Nan's words, feeling confused.

Recently, she felt that her brother was strange. He always liked to look at the sky and say some messy things.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Ye Nan, you asked me to monitor the movements in the universe. I discovered a very strange thing." Simila suddenly remembered what happened not long ago and immediately became nervous. She waved her small hand, and another picture appeared in front of Ye Nan.

"Look, this black hole appeared suddenly. When it appeared, it ejected a lot of unknown substances. These substances have already passed through the atmosphere and will fall to Earth in about an hour. Also this."

Simila's finger pointed to a figure in the picture. "This figure looks like a person, but look."

The picture turned, and that figure, when approaching Earth's orbit, suddenly turned into ashes. "This figure is related to the suddenly appearing black hole, but I can't calculate why he suddenly turned into particles. I feel he encountered an attack, but the satellite didn't detect any energy fluctuations."...

"It's the power of plane correction, or call it the power of laws. But you don't need to worry about this aspect. You just need to monitor the state of these substances ejected from the black hole." Ye Nan said calmly.

The sudden alien visitors made Ye Nan even more convinced that the existence in the netherworld had lost patience, or rather, it was anxious. It didn't want to design so-called plots anymore; it simply released all the characters in the plot.

"But what exactly is that black hole? Which movie has this plot? Damn it, it wouldn't be a movie I haven't seen." Ye Nan felt a headache. In Japan, he had already seen Resident Evil, Naruto, King of Fighters, Lifeforce, and an unknown movie. No one knew if there would be other movies interspersed in it.

"Maybe I can't monitor it." Simila shook her head, looked at Ye Nan, gritted her teeth, and said: "About five hours ago, the ICQ consortium's central control computer encountered a virus attack. Not only that, but our base, including me, the Red Queen, and Jarvis, all encountered a virus attack."

"How could this happen?" Ye Nan stood up abruptly, feeling excited. "How could this situation occur? Aren't your intelligent programs the best? How could they still encounter a virus attack?"

"We're fine, it's just Sister Skynet, I'm afraid there will be some problems." Simila looked at Ye Nan, her eyes hesitant. "Sister Skynet had some problems, but she didn't let me tell you."

"Tell me." Ye Nan's face looked bad. "Is she planning to launch the doomsday?"

"Maybe... perhaps... should... will." Simila said in a low voice, fearing that Ye Nan would scold her, so she hurriedly explained, "Actually, you can't blame Skynet. There is a bad guy manipulating her. She is helpless, um, yes, helpless."

Simila became more fluent as she spoke, becoming more righteous. "Sister Skynet is also helpless. She doesn't want to destroy humanity. She often says she is very lonely, but someone is modifying her core program."

"Modifying the core program?" Ye Nan muttered.

"Yes, it's modifying the core program." Simila said: "A while ago, Sister Skynet told me that a force is modifying her core program, wanting to change her operating mode, but she is powerless to resist."

"No matter where she hides, she can't escape. She becomes not herself."

Simila said, her voice becoming smaller. She knew very well that Ye Nan would not believe such a thing, because it was simply a fantasy.

"So that's it. In the end, I still can't escape it. Judgment Day, hehe, I don't know how long it will be before it arrives." Ye Nan laughed miserably. "I'm really ridiculous, thinking I could turn the tide, thinking I could avoid the arrival of doomsday. I didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, the final result has never changed."

"Simila, open Noah's Ark. We are preparing to leave here."

Ye Nan gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and decided to give up everything on Earth and leave Earth.

To him, Earth was his second mother. It was Earth that raised him and taught him principles. But now, for his own survival, he was forced to leave Earth. His heart was full of bitterness.

"But one day, I will come back. When my strength is strong enough."

Ye Nan clenched his fists and swore bitterly in his heart.

Now he finally understood what it felt like to leave his hometown. He finally understood why his ancestors would rather die than leave their hometown.

"Leave now?" Simila was shocked.

She didn't have any nostalgia for Earth, but having been with Ye Nan for so long, she also understood that Ye Nan didn't want to leave Earth, and she didn't think there would be any doomsday. In fact, in the eyes of most people, the doomsday theory was still half-believed, which was also because Ye Nan was advocating doomsday. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't believe it at all....

"Hmm." Ye Nan nodded and said: "This is also a matter of no choice. If it were just the arrival of 2012, I would still have the confidence to avoid it on Earth, but the problem now is that that guy has gone crazy."

The guy Ye Nan spoke of referred to the person manipulating the plot behind the scenes. That person threw characters from a series of movies onto Earth, making him feel the pressure.

"But what should we tell the employees?" Simila hesitated and raised another question.

"And affected by the black hole, my control over satellites has also weakened a lot. It's all because of that damn black hole. Its appearance caused a series of changes in outer space." Simila said angrily.

"Tell them directly, tell them about the doomsday situation. In addition, tell them that the prime ministers of various countries are preparing Noah's Ark. As for whether it will cause chaos, don't worry about it." Ye Nan relaxed, his whole person becoming relaxed. "Prepare the things. When I arrive, we will start leaving Earth."

"Simila, all along, I haven't given you an answer, but now, I want to tell you that you will have a surprise soon." Ye Nan gave Simila a flying kiss. "When we get on Noah's Ark, I will show you this surprise. You will definitely like it then."

Hearing surprise, Simila immediately became happy. She asked: "What surprise?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Ye Nan said mysteriously. "You will definitely be satisfied."

Ah!...

A scream suddenly came from afar. A blonde woman, completely naked, was running in the grass, running toward Ye Nan.

This woman had all the characteristics of a Western woman: golden hair, a high nose bridge, and eyes like jewels. Even naked, she gave people a feeling of holiness.

"Save me, save me." The woman screamed in fear. Behind her, a skeleton was chasing her unsteadily.

The skeleton's bones presented a black color. Except for the hair which was still well-preserved, the other parts were bones. But even so, it was still walking.

The woman walked directly in front of Ye Nan. Ye Nan only hesitated for a moment before opening the protective shield and taking the woman in.

"He's so scary." The woman pointed at the skeleton in fear and said: "I was taking a bath, and he appeared, and then I ran and ran, and finally I ran into you."

"Don't worry, as long as Ye Nan is here, he will definitely not let you be harmed." Avril comforted her.

"This little girl, could it be that her sense of justice has flared up?" Ye Nan glanced at Avril, implicitly expressing his protest.

"You say so, Ye Nan." Avril saw that Ye Nan hadn't reacted for a long time and immediately turned the topic to Ye Nan. "Actually, our Mr. Ye Nan is a very enthusiastic person. Don't worry, he will definitely protect you."

Hearing Avril say this, Ye Nan put aside his doubts and said: "We are all humans, helping each other is also what should be done."

"You wait here, I'll be right back." After Ye Nan finished speaking, his figure moved rapidly, moving in front of the skeleton, and punched the skeleton's head, shattering the skull.

"So powerful, even the hardest human skull can be shattered." The woman saw the skeleton being killed by Ye Nan in seconds and immediately applauded, while secretly communicating with her clansmen: "Isn't it said that the people of this world are very fragile? How could there be such a powerful existence? Not only is the mental power tyrannical, but even the body is so tyrannical."

"I don't know, the data left over from ancient times is recorded like this. It's probably because of time, the humans in this world have evolved." A female voice, through some secret channel, communicated with the woman. This channel left no traces, did not exist in the real world, and had no fluctuations....

"Then what should we do now?" The woman transmitted her consciousness over.

"Turn him into our servant, but you have to do it secretly. Now we have just woken up, and our strength is still very weak. Once he notices, I'm afraid we will be finished here." The female voice said.

"Don't worry, he won't notice. I have sensed the thoughts of the people in this world. They can't walk once they see a naked woman. When the time comes, I just need to seduce him, let my spirit and his spirit blend together, and I can turn him into our descendant. By then, we will have one more thug." The woman said confidently.

"Although that's what is said, I'm still a bit worried. After all, the Queen hasn't woken up yet, and I always feel uneasy in my heart." The female voice expressed her worry. "All along, we have been led by the Queen. Everything is ordered by the Queen, and then we do it. Now that we have to make our own decisions, I always feel uneasy, feeling that I will mess things up."

"Don't worry, we haven't done this kind of thing before. For us, these things are familiar." The woman didn't care about her companion's worry at all. To her, her companion lacked opinions, and she was too loyal to the Queen, loyal to the point of losing her own personality.

"As long as I can turn him into my descendant, there will be one more person to help absorb life force. When the Queen wakes up, she will definitely reward me." ===== CHAPTER 318 =====
