In this world, he did not return to the survivor base in the end. Naturally, what Kelsi wanted to convey was not delivered. Zhou Jinru then thought about it, even if it was delivered, it would be useless because the sun had gone out and there was no light. He cannot turn into light in his form.
But is Kelsey a pointless person?
Obviously not, the old woman always had her own plans.
"Kelsey has always been like this, talking to herself, and I can never guess what she is thinking."
"If the doctor wants to scold Dr. Kelsey, now is the best opportunity. She won't know."
Zhou Jinru looked at the unexpected car in surprise, and was quite moved by its suggestion. However, what he wanted to say reached his throat and he swallowed it back. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, she must be secretly looking at me somewhere. Don't If she wants to lie to me, I can’t beat her.”
"It's okay, doctor. Even if Dr. Kelsey is here, I will protect you. We all know that you are usually dissatisfied with her."
"Is it so obvious?"
"So now I have the chance to scold her severely."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "Still not."
It's not in line with his character to speak ill of Kelsey behind his back. Just say what he wants to his face. Anyway... a rigid shield can withstand it better anyway.
Seeing that Zhou Jinru refused to speak, the medical car said regretfully: "What a pity. Dr. Kelsi has caused a great psychological shadow to the doctor."
"This is not a psychological shadow," Zhou Jinru corrected, "I love all the operators, even Kelsey, I love her, always and forever."
"Really?"
"real."
Zhou Jinru paused and looked around: "You are the only one left here, how long can you hold on?"
"A day ago, I estimated the time would be three to six months. Now, I think it should be more than a year."
"So short?"
The time given by the medical cart was much less than he imagined, and even the mechanical equipment had reached the end of its life.
Zhou Jinru asked while thinking: "Where is your host and how big is the hard drive that loads the core data? Maybe I can find a way."
Carters projection lowered his head, and when he raised it again, he showed a sweet smile: "I know what the doctor wants to do, but it can't work. After modification, I am the system of the survivor base. The stored data cannot be separated from the base. Moreover, I don’t want to go back to the Doctor’s era either.”
"Why?"
Zhou Jinru's voice was low.
"In this era, there is no living life. All gods and mortals, heroes and civilians are buried deep under the ice. Even words and graphics have lost their meaning. It is best if Miss Ifrit can successfully reach the past. As a result, she is the last life in this era. As long as she is still alive, all our sacrifices are worth it, but Doctor..."
Carters projection said softly: "This is our end of the world. After a life passes away, someone must carve the last trace for the tombstone. Let me do this task."
Zhou Jinru paused in place for a long time. Death is a cold word, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is ruthless. Nothing is immortal, from microscopic creatures to stars in the universe, all have their own lifespans.
"what can I do?"
There was nothing he could do.
"You've done so much, Doctor, now it's up to me to ask, what can I do for you?"
In addition to dealing with the nature of evolution, he also wanted to find Vina, but there was no clue.
Carters Projection pondered for two seconds: "Do you have anything that can be related to Miss Vina?"
Zhou Jinru thought for a while and took out a rivet from his pocket. This was given to him by Wei Na, saying it would be used to gain trust in the sitcom, but he never met in the end.
The rivet was rubbed smooth, and there were two letters engraved on the inside. Zhou Jinru could imagine the lion holding it tightly on lonely nights, as if he could draw courage from it.
"Maybe, Doctor, please come with me."
The medical cart guided Zhou Jinru to a long-abandoned laboratory. There was a hole in the wall, as if something had penetrated it from the outside. Now the gap has been filled, but the hole still exists.
"What is this place?"
"This is our laboratory for simulating cavity creation. Miss Ifrit started from here."
The lights on the electronic equipment came on, and it took ten minutes to start the system. Zhou Jinru walked around for a few steps at will. The place had been covered in dust for a long time, and many things had been eroded by time and almost all were damaged. Being able to activate the machine seemed to him like a Miracle.
After a while, the medical cart prompted: "Please put the rivet on the machine next to it."
Zhou Jinru followed the instructions and watched the platform put the rivets in. The scanning data was continuously fed back on the half-broken screen, which he couldn't understand.
The data was constantly refreshed, and the characters jumped line by line. Finally, it stopped, and the machine sent out the rivets again.
"Doctor, the data collection is complete. It was produced around 1080 in the Terra Calendar. I locked a similar historical node. The relevant coordinates have been transmitted to your smart terminal, but there was a certain error during the data docking. You know What's going on?"
1080 years?
Zhou Jinru frowned and asked, "What error?"
The medical car said in confusion: "The time I am in, the time you are active, there is a gap of one hundred years. Theoretically, this is impossible, but it happened."
"What impact will it have?"
"I don't know, I don't know why a hundred years of time were lost."
This answer is destined to be fruitless, and Zhou Jinru knows nothing about it.
He decided not to think about it for the time being, and now he had to seize the time to find Vina. Before opening the hole again, he asked: "What is the historical node you found?"
"A disturbance in Victoria, a king was executed in the square by his people."
Zhou Jinru sighed: "It doesn't sound good."
The hole opened in front of him, and when he left, the Carters projection bowed deeply: "Thank you, doctor, thank you for everything you have done for us, thank you."
Its voice seemed to be the overlapping of the voices of countless people. In a daze, Zhou Jinru saw the operators standing not far away, waving goodbye. There were many people, crowded, and familiar faces. He remembered every one of them.
Golden light entered the hole, the hole closed, and the survivor base became deserted again.
The electronic synthesized voice echoed in the empty underground space: "Fellow operators, after 1034 inspections, we have now decided to vote on the final agreement. 0 votes in favor, 0 votes against, 0 abstentions. The agreement is passed and the ignition device is started. .”
"Interrupt the energy supply to all rooms and fully provide energy to the power furnace. The host will shut down after ten minutes."
"After all the data has been backed up, based on deductions from the surface environment, the tombstone will stand for 14,000 years."
"Thank you all operators for your sincere cooperation over the years. Our mission has been completed. Now we can rest. I wish everyone a sweet dream."
"Good night."
Under the closed ice layer, something broke through the ice surface, stubbornly emerged from the surface, and stood in the dark and cold harsh environment. The lights were extinguished one after another. When the surface was covered with frost, those who survived The base has completely ceased activity.
It just stood there, like a tombstone.
