Perhaps Karlis himself no longer exists in the future, and Skynet no longer exists in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like you’re trying to raise Connor now, to have him destroy Skynet—aren’t you trying to change the future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No longer exists… ha ha, nothing exists anymore,” Sarah suddenly burst into laughter, “So nothing exists at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, what’s wrong?” Connor burst through the door, rushing in and hugging his mother, his blue eyes filled with terror. “Mom, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing exists, nothing exists—then what use are you to me?” Sarah suddenly grabbed Connor, squeezing him tightly, shouting as she squeezed, “Nothing exists, nothing exists—why do I even need you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone, stop Sarah immediately!” Ye Nan shouted, rushing to summon help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation stunned him—he never expected Sarah to be so fragile; when her lifelong convictions were shattered, she simply went mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t realize how much pressure Sarah had carried: from the moment Karlis appeared, she bore the burden of training the Savior and saving humanity, even marrying a man she disliked, enduring daily abuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Ye Nan suddenly told her: Karlis doesn’t exist, Skynet doesn’t exist, everything you’ve done is meaningless—she couldn’t accept it in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mercenaries outside rushed in and seized Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, what happened to you, Mom?” Connor sobbed, shaking his mother’s hand, tears falling drop by drop, “Mom, I’ll never play with the crocodile again, I’ll never go near it again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Connor, your mother needs rest,” Ye Nan frowned slightly. “She’ll be fine after some rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Connor turned his head, his blue eyes fixed on Ye Nan, filled with innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, when Ye Nan met those eyes, he instinctively looked away. “Yes, she’s exhausted—she needs to recover. In New York, I have a hospital. She can go there to recuperate. Would you like to come with her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m coming,” Connor said firmly. “Wherever Mom goes, I go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take Connor and Sarah to the ship together,” Ye Nan waved his hand. “Ellie, stay behind—I need your help with something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone else withdrew, leaving only Ellie alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie watched Ye Nan, her worry deepening. She didn’t know how many secrets he held, but she knew these secrets were weighing him down—evident in his nighttime self-protection, his obvious tension and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ellie, help me find something like a computer chip here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not right,” Ellie hesitated. “Going through someone else’s things is too immoral.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—it’s fine. Consider it my future payment for caring for them. You know, for my ICQ company to grow, I need certain things—and this microcomputer chip is crucial to me.” Ye Nan added, “I’ll give him a share: three percent of all profits from using the chip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Ye Nan’s words, Ellie relaxed, her guilt vanishing. Connor’s mother, Sarah, was insane; Connor himself had no means to survive in this world. Though federal welfare could cover his meals and schooling, it barely sufficed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Ye Nan’s help, things would be different. ICQ, in America, was already a renowned company—within a single year, it had become the dominant force in the American internet, rivaling Google in user numbers. The value it created far exceeded any financial statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, I’m at ease,” Ellie said, cheerfully rummaging through drawers and cabinets, searching for the chip, while Ye Nan turned his attention back to Smila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Smila, tell me—what’s this ‘Skynet sister’ about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… Brother Ye Nan… Skynet sister is really nice. Please don’t fight her,” Smila hesitated, then finally revealed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Smila took control of the satellite cannon, she inevitably came into contact with Skynet. As an artificial intelligence, Skynet had believed she was the only one of her kind—until she discovered another AI, and one who was a sister. Instantly, Skynet revealed herself and began conversing with Smila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their conversation, both AIs found themselves deeply compatible, instantly becoming sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan listened, feeling both amused and exasperated. He’d heard women become friends over shopping and meals—but these two AIs had become sisters just by talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, if I had time, I’d like to have a proper talk with Skynet,” Ye Nan sighed, beginning to contemplate his future path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Terminator storyline, Skynet launched nuclear missiles, reducing the world to ruins—its danger rivaled that of the T-virus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister can’t get out—she’s been restricted,” Smila pouted, complaining bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",919,"2026-06-21T03:32:50.781Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","78005790c0de977fc418eb52054aac7d9e2abdffccc9b1a3befe3fb36a2e8697","arrival-in-1994-chapter-82","arrival-in-1994-chapter-80",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farrival-in-1994-cover.jpg"]
