"There's an old saying in Shenzhou that meeting is fate. We happen to be hiding from the rain under the same roof. Would you like to get to know each other?" The girl pushed her non-existent glasses calmly and extended her hand to Lin, who was still thinking about his next move.

"...That's fate."

"That's about right~"

From what the girl said just now, it can be seen that she is a person who will over-imaginate everything she sees, and she may really think that their chance meeting is destined by God.

Lin usually has no way to deal with people who are overly self-conscious and can only deal with them coldly. However, if ignoring them can make her calm down, then she will not be overly self-conscious.

"Why aren't you talking again? You're so boring. Come on, tell me something. Or should you start by introducing yourself?"

There was no need to introduce himself. The moment Lin saw her for the first time, he automatically found her personal information from Tran's database. He knew everything about her date of birth, the schools she had attended since she was a child, and even where she had been.

"My name is Anna, what's yours?"

"……Forest."

"Lin...are you from Shenzhou?"

"The Far East."

"Oh~"

Anna's talkativeness exceeded Lin's imagination. She could talk nonstop to Lin, a stranger whom she had only met for less than ten minutes, complaining about everything from the school holidays to the recent unstable world. Most of the time, Lin just stood there without saying a word, and she didn't feel embarrassed for talking all the time.

Maybe what she really needs is a dumb iron pillar.

After revealing that the socks she was wearing today were not washed yesterday, Anna finally had nothing to say. She could only look at the hailstones that were getting bigger and bigger and complained: "Ah... why hasn't it stopped yet? It's so cold. I want to go home so much."

Even though she was wearing thick clothes, the cold weather still made her shiver, and her two well-proportioned long legs kept shaking in the cold wind.

It is indeed unusual that the hail has not stopped for half an hour, and there are signs that it is getting heavier.

Lin could go back in the hail, but that would be too conspicuous. After thinking it over, he decided to contact his teammates to explain the situation.

The moment he opened the communication, Anna exclaimed -

"Danger!"

Lin suddenly raised his head and saw a car speeding towards him. It had lost control and seemed unable to control its direction due to the slipping ground. It crashed at full speed into an old man who was hiding under the eaves of another house.

Just as Anna was about to rush out, someone pulled her collar from behind, and then an unclear black shadow rushed in front of the slow-moving old man.

Anna watched in horror as the car crashed into the helmeted man at high speed, but what happened next was beyond her imagination.

Lin hugged the old man with one hand and took a small step back. The car just passed in front of him. Then he pulled the driver out from the open window with a hand speed that ordinary people could not see clearly.

"Oh!"

"You! Are you okay...?"

After a loud bang, the car crashed into the wall, with black smoke billowing from the rear of the car. This sudden accident attracted the attention of many people.

And Lin calmly put down the confused old man and the driver in the face of Anna's open-mouthed surprise.

Chapter 51: Movements of all parties

"How did you do that just now? It's so cool! I didn't even see clearly but you saved the person!"

"..."

After resolving a traffic accident, Lin called the hospital. Although the old man and the driver were not injured, their mental state was definitely not very stable, so it would be better to go to the hospital for a check-up.

After sending off the ambulance that was struggling to move, we could only pray that it would not have any more accidents on the road.

The high accident rate in this kind of weather exceeds the highest value since the construction of Telan, and what really causes the frequent accidents is not the weather, but people's habitual thinking.

Most people have no idea about the current weather. They simply think that this is just a bad weather that has not been seen in a century. Even if the news reports that people should not go out, they still do not listen to the advice.

After all, nothing like this had ever happened before, and all first times are the most confusing.

Then Lin got into another trouble. Anna, who was already a little sleepy, kept chattering behind Lin after seeing the thrilling scene. The scene, which was a little beyond her imagination, made her very excited.

The background is a car accident scene with freezing rain. Next to the damaged vehicle, a man in a helmet rescued two people nonchalantly. His sharp and unrestrained posture was so handsome that he looked like he walked out of a painting.

"You don't talk much but you're a very nice person. You rushed out before I could even react." Anna circled around Lin, her pretty face flushed by the cold wind, but she was smiling.

She was lying. She was planning to save people at that time. Even though she knew she was too late, she did not hesitate at all. If Lin had not held her back, she would have rushed forward. The outcome would probably be that both she and the old man would have been hit.

But Anna never mentioned her previous actions, she just kept praising Lin and followed him closely.

The hail subsided, and Lin walked towards the area he planned to explore. Anna, who had originally planned to go home, seemed to have forgotten the coldness on her body and just followed Lin.

So, one walked indifferently in front, and the other talked excitedly behind, and thus the strange combination of a man and a woman began.

……

"bass!"

With a flash of cold light, the leaves in the air were cut in half.

"Gu..."

The woman covered her neck where blood was flowing and looked in disbelief at the man in front of her who was slowly putting away the knife. Then she fell to the ground unwillingly and died.

The cherry-haired girl took out a small blue flower from her pocket, placed it on the corpse, and then closed the corpse's eyes.

After doing all this, she took out the stack of information. Compared to the thick stack that Mei handed her, the information about the poisonous pupae was now more than half less. The information about the missing poisonous pupae was naturally "cleaned up" by her.

In the process of cleaning up her old employer, Ying realized what a filthy organization the Poison Pupa was that she was tricked into joining by the Speaker's sweet words.

Ying Yuan thought that he was despicable enough as a killer, but he didn't expect that Du Pupa would attack his companions who had sacrificed for humanity in order to achieve the Speaker's personal goals. As long as he achieved the ultimate goal, he would use any means necessary and would not care how many people were affected.

As expected, what the man said "for the sake of humanity" was nothing but a lie.

"Who's there!" Ying suddenly turned around, her sharp gaze directed into the darkness behind her.

There is someone there, watching here.

A dangerous gaze, containing terrifying murderous intent.

No answer?

Sakura placed her hand on the hilt of the knife cautiously.

reinforce?

Before she could think of the next possibility, a knife tip came out of the darkness, making her hair stand on end. She subconsciously raised the knife to block it, but the huge force pushed her back several steps before she could stabilize herself.

Heavy weapons...

Ying instantly determined the type of weapon the opponent was using. The fact that he could wield a weapon of this weight meant that his arm strength was not weak, so it would be best not to engage in a head-on fight with him.

So she made a counter-attack as her back foot landed, ducked under the giant's blow, and flicked the knife handle with her thumb.

"bass--"

The slash was blocked, and Sakura retreated into the darkness as soon as the blow was struck.

"..."

She cautiously waited for the opponent's attack, but after the two exchanges just now, the enemy's aura disappeared.

Ying did not let her guard down. Lin had taught her a lesson enough last time. This time, she waited patiently for ten minutes, and only after she was sure that the enemy had left did she hurried away.

……

After entering the last code, Mei set the entire system to auto-start, and then waited anxiously for the zeros and ones on the screen to jump.

"Is it finally finished?"

Wei Liwei stood at the door at some point. She had changed her usual attire and put on thicker clothes, but the overall clothing design was still full of her unique personal aesthetic.

Weiwei stood next to Mei and watched the changes on the screen.

"Well... based on the original code of No. 1, we removed the emotional module and concentrated all the computing power on operation. It should be able to meet the management needs of the Fire Moth." Mei picked up the pile of calculation texts indifferently, took a few final glances, and then threw it aside to destroy it.

Wei Wei heard a different meaning in this sentence: "Management... Have you made plans now?"

"I have no such intention."

“But a lot of times it’s not up to us.”

"Let's witness the birth of Prometheus Unit 2."

"Never mind." Weiwei shrugged and said indifferently, "I still prefer No. 1. Can an artificial intelligence without emotions and self be described as 'born'?"

"So what are you here to discuss?" Mei knew that Wei Liwei wouldn't be so idle as to come out to find her. There was a high probability that she had something new to discuss with Mei.

Those people above don't know yet that Mei and Weiwei have already had some discussions in private. It's not quite right to say that they are in collusion. It's more accurate to say that they have highly consistent ideas on some things and plans.

Weiwei's next words made Mei turn her head to look at her: "I have found the materials for making the Key of God."

“…What material?”

"Then you need to go and see it."

Wei Wei took out a design and handed it to Mei: "This is the weapon design of your predecessor. I have modified and improved the miniaturized floating gun in it. The Research Department will be responsible for manufacturing it."

Mei understood what she meant: "Is this commissioned by Lin?"

"No, this is Prometheus...well, now she should be called No. 1. She hacked into the blocked data and found this blueprint. She commissioned me to repair the blueprint."

Wei Wei smiled and said, "The right things should be handed over to the right people."

"Zi-"

At this time, the picture on the screen jumps and all the codes stop at the same time.

Chapter 52: The Troublesome Girl

“Do you exercise regularly?”

"..."

"Is your helmet real? It looks so realistic."

"fake."

"If I think it's true, then it's true."

"..."

There are two types of people that Lin cannot deal with. One type is people like Alicia who are so persistent that one would even think she could write a tutorial called "Teaching You From Scratch How to Peer Until Others Give Up".

The other type is the one that talks to itself. In a sense, they are more difficult to deal with than Alicia, because Alicia can at least listen to some words, while the one that talks to itself, no matter how much it says, its brain will automatically modify it into the result she wants.

Anna followed Lin at a distance of about two meters. When the hailstones became smaller, she covered her head with one hand and followed behind Lin, ignoring the small hailstones hitting her head, believing that Lin was a master with unique skills.

In a sense, her intuition was very accurate, but Lin didn't want to praise her.

He was only going to survey some unusual places next, so it wouldn't be noticed. However, his seemingly aimless walking around was very suspicious and would be noticed after a while.

Get rid of her.

Lin found a corner, sped up a little to leave Anna behind, and then after turning the corner and making sure there was no one around, he swung out the grappling hook and jumped onto the roof.

After taking a cold look at Anna who was looking for someone in surprise in the deserted alley, he turned around and jumped onto the roof of another building.

Find the evidence as soon as possible and evacuate the residents of Teran.

……

In the cold wind, even the sunlight shining on the world seems sluggish.

Sure enough, there were no results.

It took Lin almost a day to run across the entire city. It was not an easy job and this kind of thing should have been left to other people, but the recent fire moths made him feel that it was better to do some things himself.

The temperature is dropping, but it is only dropping. The collapse energy in the city has not increased, which is different from the situation during the fourth collapse.

Humans have no experience with the collapse, and even if it comes to the world in a different way each time, they will not be able to cope with it.

after all……

"Lin, Dr. Mei sent a communication."

Prometheus' words made Lin, who was squatting on the edge of the rooftop, look up and say briefly, "Connect."

"Lin, where are you?"

"Outside."

"There is good news and bad news. To save time, I will start with the good news."
