The fast-forward journey after seizing the traverser system

Chapter 1155 A Wish Nourished by Despair 33

Hope Base carries the last hope and is the last glimmer of civilization.

Shi Yu's whereabouts were not concealed. The people in the base noticed him as soon as he appeared, and they also noticed Yun Xing beside him.

While Shihe Mi was excited, he was also a little nervous; an unexpected change was about to occur.

"It's so nice to see you again, sir. And who is this?"

Compared to Shi Yu, Shi Hemi was more curious about Yun Xing. It seemed that not only Shi Yu was able to come out, but the emotions in Yun Xing's eyes were so intense that he could understand them.

"My name is Yun Xing."

Tears welled up in Yunxing's eyes. It turned out that people still existed, and their roots were deeply embedded in reality.

"Hello, my name is Shihe Mi, and I am the person in charge of this base. Would you like to take a tour?"

Ishigawa made the judgment, especially since a rather confidential part of the base had been moved before they arrived.

Shi Yu couldn't understand it. Even though he could tell that the other party had no ill intentions, the mysterious way they left, coupled with their quick thinking, made him keep a bit of caution even as he wanted to place his trust in them.

But Yunxing was different. This girl was too beautiful and understanding. The excitement and trepidation on her face were genuine. Since they were also prepared, they invited them in.

They desperately wanted to know how many people were still inside, how many would return, and whether their mindset had changed...

There are many issues that need to be understood and resolved, so even if there is a possibility of problems, they are unlikely to let go of this opportunity to make contact.

"Of course." Yun Xing wanted to agree immediately, but as soon as she said it, she thought of what happened in the illusion. The problem they needed to solve now was more important.

"No, we need to wait. We need the power of the mortal world to attack the mainframe and provide support for my companions."

Yunxing felt trust in the person in front of her, stemming from her past memories of trusting law enforcement officers. She had few concerns and didn't know how to weigh the pros and cons; she simply subconsciously turned to the person she trusted for help.

Shi Yu smiled but didn't say anything; he liked this change.

“Okay.” Shi Hemi was still weighing his options, but upon hearing this, he remembered how those children would seek his help when they were in trouble. This trust made him subconsciously follow his old way of thinking.

By the time he realized it, he had already agreed, but it didn't feel so bad.

Looking at this child, he felt an added weight of responsibility.

"What should I do?"

Shi Hemi smiled. It's the adults' job to solve a child's problem.

"We need to find the location of the last mastermind, and work together from the inside and outside. The mastermind may be located in a human body, but it is most likely a computer."

Yun Xing destroyed many mainframes and, after emerging, saw the mainframe's physical body, deducing that the last mainframe was also a large computer.

"computer?"

Shihe Mi suddenly thought of something.

"I do know of a computer, but it requires an application because we've determined it to be dangerous, but sometimes we have no choice but to use it."

The largest computer nebula, sealed in a dark room, was one of the greatest projects before the apocalypse. People found it and used it initially, but problems were discovered during its use, so it was sealed away in the original base, with only a few people left to guard it.

Nebula was found to have some autonomous behavior, but the preservation of civilization is not easy. Although some people suggested destroying it, it was ultimately preserved, but it is rarely used again.

"Then please hurry, my companions are most likely already on the move."

Yunxing trusted her companions; if she disappeared, they would surely take action.

"I see."

Ishigawa quickly reported the situation, and before he could receive a reply, he drove them away to the original base.

Shi Hemi wasn't stupid. He knew that the base had some technology that could block illusions and even detect some of them. He hadn't investigated it in depth before, but now he realized that it was probably related to the Nebula.

Those who received Shi Hemi's message quickly held a meeting to exchange opinions and agreed with Shi Hemi's decision, but did not send him any more extra personnel. At the same time, all bases quickly started operating and prepared for the relocation.

When natural disasters are frequent, they are adept at preserving fire.

Ishigawa's actions were supported by them, but failure would also bring disaster, so the remaining people had to find a way to survive and continue their way of being human.

He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the reply of agreement, and when he learned that the base was to be relocated, all his last worries disappeared.

This was the most likely scenario he had envisioned, because the base was always looking for a way out, would adopt every possible suggestion, but would also be prepared.

"arrive."

Ishigami quickly showed the guards the instructions and then told them to leave immediately.

Shi Hemi led Shi Yu and Yun Xing into the base and went to where Nebula was.

"Is this the place? Although there are no incubation chambers, I think this is the most likely location."

They act on every possibility; that's the secret to their survival to this day.

"indeed."

Yun Xing felt a similar sense of oppression. He pushed open the door in front of him, and the dark room was opened. The computer, which had been powered off, was lit up.

"Looks like we were right."

Shihe Mi's smile was somewhat forced. After all, she was the one who started this machine, which made her feel guilty and ashamed. She wondered if it would have been better to destroy it sooner.

"It's alright. Even without these computers outside, they can still exist in the illusion. In reality, they can still reside in the body, which will make them even more mobile."

Shi Yu patted Shi Hemi on the shoulder. Once things have happened, there's no point in saying anything. Besides, the most crucial part of the main brain is still in the illusion. The external body can only hide for a while. After all, its true form is in the illusion.

How did you know?

This mastermind is clearly not very intelligent. I initially thought it had the qualities of a major villain, but it seems that the painful thoughts it has generated prevent it from truly understanding humans.

"I'm just here to keep an eye on you and check some things out."

It's not just about destroying the mainframe; we also need to find the remaining memories, as they contain countless incubation chambers.

Shi Yu explained to it with a smile that since it could no longer cause any trouble, it was natural to use the mainframe to check, and there was no way to hide it.

Shi Yu quickly located the remaining mainframes in the nebula and asked Shi Hemi to find someone to bring back the incubation chambers of those people.

Nebula cannot go against the original settings, and the main brain within Nebula cannot stop it either, and can only watch helplessly as it provides assistance.
