Durin's Diary

Chapter 359: Using the Mountain as a Side
This is a good piece of information.

Others are afraid of the automatic machines of the old era, but Dulin has Ceris 11.

So after settling the girls, Dulin returned to Lublin. When Ceris Eleven heard about this, he finally decided to give Daju a set of his backup database.

In other words, the Big Orange was now carrying a clone of Ceris XI. Considering the danger, Durin, alone and with a bag, led Kal'tsit into the mountains.

The family was indeed not lying. Du Lin walked westward along the dividing line between the coniferous forest and the broad-leaved forest for three days. After crossing a mountain, he saw the Old Era Tower on the top of a distant snow-capped mountain.

It doesn't look like the eagle's nest you mentioned, because I can't find any possibility of the existence of a griffin.

This was Ceris XI's analysis because he had seen griffins, and griffins usually only moved on the plains. Even if their nests were in the mountains, they would not rise above the snow line.

Indeed, from a biological point of view, if the feeding area is too far from the nest, a nest needs at least three adults to complete the rotation during the incubation period. However, griffons usually only have one male and one female pair.

But since we're here, let's go and take a look at the situation.

Du Lin walked forward a little further and saw an anti-gravity advertising eyeball robot.

Why is Du Lin so sure?

Because this spherical robot is still playing advertising slogans in a deep baritone voice.

What are the best five-star hotels in Austria awaiting your arrival?

It was spoken in English, which was almost the same as the current common language, but the heavy accent made it sound like a minority language.

·The thing above is actually a hotel. The aesthetic taste of humans in the old era is really ruined.

Daju complained.

I don’t know whether I should agree with your point of view, or I think that someone like you is not qualified to evaluate the hotel. After all, the AI ​​inside should be more advanced than you.

Ceris 11 sighed.

What? There's AI in the hotel. Is it possible that it has turned into a monster?

Daju was a little surprised.

You don’t have to worry about this. These AIs are secondary AIs trained through the system and use databases. There is no possibility of using wetware.

Faced with Ceris Eleven's answer, Daju was still confused.

How can you be so sure?

Because the AI ​​used in the vehicles and hotels is the same model, and it's in use in the millions. Given how many prisoners there were in the old era, with a success rate of four to one, it would require tens of millions of brains. This is unrealistic, you know.

The AIs chatted with each other until here, and Du Lin also received a flyer from the eyeball robot.

Hello, dear East Asian guest from afar, I haven’t seen a guest like you for a long time. I don’t know what’s going on. I haven’t met any guests for a long time. It’s not that I haven’t seen any guests before, but when they saw me, they ran away as if they saw a ghost.

·It’s okay, how did you work for so long?

I'm the last backup. There's no AI in the hotel. Everyone is broken. The network is disconnected. Could this world have been destroyed?

This sentence silenced Durin, Ceris 11 and Daju.

There was no choice but for Du Lin to walk up the mountain along the damaged street.

As he approached the hotel, Du Lin saw a lot of damaged vehicles.

Du Lin opened the trunk of the vehicle. Most of the things inside had been destroyed by time. Du Lin only found a few half-damaged suitcases, and even the clothes inside were damaged.

As they approached the gate, Ceris XI completed the work of invading the local area network and opened the door for Du Lin.

Du Lin walked into the hotel lobby, and the lights came on in an instant.

Welcome to the best Dakon Group Hotel in Austria.

At the counter, every smile and frown of the holographic waiter is lifelike.

Du Lin nodded: "Is there any vacancy in the hotel?"

At this moment, Du Lin asked like a real guest.

Sorry, our hotel has encountered an unexpected situation. The internet connection with the outside world has been completely cut off. The guest rooms have not been fully cleaned for a long time. Out of consideration for our guests, we will no longer provide room service. However, service on the first and second floors is still available...

The holographic waiter disappeared.

The projector burned out.

Ceris Eleven sighed with some regret.

Du Lin followed the instructions and stood in the entertainment area on the first floor.

There are broken gaming equipment everywhere, with smashed machines lying all over the place.

Several skeletons lay in the passage.

Around them lay scattered, long-rotted firearms. "Civilization's greatest enemy isn't war, but time," Dulin lamented. He walked over to a working pinball machine, picked up a dozen balls from a nearby corpse's feet, and tossed them in.

The machine flipped for a moment and finally jumped to three sevens.

I bet the jackpot deadline has arrived.

Looking at the noise coming from the machine, Daju suddenly issued a warning to Du Lin.

There are four-legged creatures in the corridor on the right.

Most of the individuals were identified, but they were not large and appeared to be juveniles.

Ceris XI added.

Du Lin raised the Du Lin Type 13, leaned against the wall, and pointed the gun at the corridor exit.

After a while, two black and white kittens appeared in Dulin's sight.

Snow leopards, the viewing individuals in the hotel, no, they should have completed the wild process and are now free.

Ceris XI introduced.

As the cubs cried, he and Daju detected the appearance of the larger individual at the same time.

Du Lin held the Du Lin Type 13 in his left hand and took out the tranquilizer gun with his right hand.

Soon, a giant adult snow leopard appeared on the ceiling of the corridor.

It can even run on the ceiling!

·Psychic individual!

Daju issued a warning immediately.

The mechanical mind is activated, please be careful.

Durin held the gun and Kal'tsit bravely protected Durin.

Finally, the giant snow leopard roared and disappeared at the exit of the corridor with its cub.

Du Lin slowly left the hotel.

Back in the sunlight, looking at the hotel in front of him, Du Lin felt it was a bit ridiculous.

"This is a protected animal." He looked at the gate
Yes, it is indeed about protecting animals, but in the era I live in, even humanoid creatures can be created, and even grassland elves can be pets. What else do you think is impossible when it comes to protecting animals?

Ceris Eleven's answer made Durin sigh helplessly.

Looking around, under the setting sun, the area outside the abandoned hotel should be the parking lot of the past, now it is deserted and desolate.

The broken barbed wire, the rusty signboards, and the vigorous and upright coniferous trees not far away seem like marks left by time on this land.

The branches grow horizontally and the ground is covered with needles.

Once-luxurious cars now clutter parking spaces, their windows missing, their paint faded, their faces battered by time.

The occasional bird calls in the distance told Du Lin that it was still safe here for now, but what about after that?

Thinking of this, Du Lin sat on the trunk of an old car beside him, opened the kettle and took a sip.

Let's go. At night, there might be all kinds of ghosts here. I've heard that ghosts do exist.

Daju said with some concern.

Du Lin nodded.

"That's fine. There's nothing to explore here anyway." Having said that, Du Lin stood up.

Just as Durin was about to take a step, a cub crawled out from under the car and ran happily to Kal'tsit.

Kal'tsit didn't do anything because it was just a cub and she instinctively felt that it had no ill intentions.

The huge adult appeared at the hotel door again.

In the setting sun, Du Lin saw it clearly. The adult beast had several wounds on its body.

Powerful human, please take it away. This nest has been attacked by terrifying monsters. I am old and can no longer protect every offspring.

A voice echoed in Du Lin's mind.

Du Lin stopped and turned to look at the mother.

Maybe I should stay and help you.
