It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Hope didn't answer, just sat silently in his seat.

Chapter 168 Me?you can call me zero

Time passed little by little.

The sound of the sea's fine waves became weaker and weaker.

Looking at Hope who had already fallen asleep in the seat, a doting smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth.

She parked the car next to a charging pile on the side of the road.

After charging the car, she returned to the car.

After locking the car door, the woman slowly closed her eyes.

The fatigue accumulated from driving for a long time made her fall asleep quickly.

……

She was awakened by a rush of rain.

Looking at the bean-sized raindrops on the windshield in front of her, her face suddenly turned pale.

Finished!

The last escape experience taught her an extremely profound lesson.

Never go out in the rain!

As global temperatures rise, extreme weather becomes more common.

You never know if the rain in front of you will turn into a hurricane!

"Damn!"

The woman cursed softly, and quickly fastened her seat belt: "Hope! Wake up! We should go!"

Hope in the co-pilot opened his eyes in a daze.

Hope woke up instantly when he saw the raindrops on the windshield.

Fear flashed deep in his eyes.

The scene that happened not long ago reappeared in his mind.

In the majestic heavy rain, a man was hit by a utility pole that was blown down by the strong wind, and then fell into more than ten centimeters of stagnant water, and never responded to the calls of his family...

"Hope! Put on your seat belt!" A high-pitched shout came from the side, "The wind is not strong now, we have to hurry to the next city!"

Hope, who came back to his senses, looked serious, and quickly fastened his seat belt.

"Charging pile..." Hope pointed out the window and reminded loudly.

The woman gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, turned around, opened the car door and rushed out.

A gust of wind brought the big raindrops into the car.

"Oh!"

The door is closed.

Hope also raised his heart.

After dozens of seconds, the door opened again.

The moment he saw his mother, Hope breathed a sigh of relief.

"The wind is getting stronger!" The woman became more and more anxious, quickly sat back in the chair, and started the car in a hurry, "There is no shelter from the rain around here, we have to find a house as soon as possible!"

With that said, the woman stepped on the accelerator hard.

"squeak!!"

There was a screeching sound of tires rubbing against each other.

Immediately afterwards, a strong recoil pushed Hope hard on the chair.

……

After half an hour.

on the empty road.

A car with flashing orange double-jump lights stopped quietly on the side of the road.

The road is broken.

Several large trees that were blown by the wind cut off the entire road.

Inside the car, the woman's face was pale and her body trembled slightly.

Perhaps it was because of being wet by the rain just now, there was an abnormal blush on her cheeks at this time.

"Hope."

The woman bit her back molars, tried her best to restrain her trembling teeth, and said softly, "The wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, we can't stay in the car anymore."

Looking at the slanting trees outside the window, Hope's eyes were full of panic. He shrank, his little hands tightly holding on to the seat belt, and his voice sounded a little crying: "Then, where are we going?!"

"It's so windy outside, you'll die if you go out!!"

The woman didn't speak, and started the car again on her own.

Her eyes turned to those big trees that were blown down by the wind.

The next moment, the car staggered forward.

"boom!"

The car hit a tree trunk.

There was a creaking sound, and the vehicle formed a perfect triangle with two fallen trees facing each other.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go, get out of the car!" After turning on all the lights on the car, she said decisively to Hope, "We are hiding in this triangle area. As for whether we can survive... depends on luck."

……

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but the wind is slowly getting smaller.

Looking at the comatose mother beside him, Hope's eyes were full of horror.

"Mom, mom..." He shivered and pushed his mother, calling softly.

no respond.

He imitated his mother's appearance in the past and put his hand on her forehead.

So hot!

He quickly withdrew his hand, and hot tears fell from his eyes.

How to do? !

He tried to drag his mother back into the car, but failed many times.

He was still a child after all, and he was so exhausted that he couldn't even stand upright, let alone pick up an adult from the ground and send him back into the car.

Seeing the blood on his mother's face fade away, Hope's heart gradually sank into an endless abyss.

Just when he was about to give up hope, a burst of engine roar came from the side.

Hope suddenly raised his head and looked aside.

A few faint blue flames came into view.

Above the flame, there is a huge monster with signal lights flashing all over its body!

Xuannv No. [-]?

Xuannv No. [-]! !

He stood up abruptly from the ground, shouting loudly.

The hatch opens.

A silver-white robot walked out of it and walked steadily to the big tree.

"Signs of life detected, start rescue."

An electronic synthesizer sounded.

In the next second, the huge tree trunk was slowly moved away, revealing an opening for people to pass through.

……

Inside Xuannv No. [-].

As soon as he entered Xuannv No. [-], Hope froze in place.

One after another, silver-white robots stood quietly in place.

"No...is there no one?"

he asked timidly.

"No, this Xuannv-[-] transports all robots."

After putting the unconscious woman on the makeshift hospital bed, the robot turned around and said in an electronically synthesized voice.

"Then... who are you? Where's the driver?"

"Me? You can call me Zero, I'm an artificial intelligence." As the electronic synthesizer sounded, a holographic projection appeared in the air, "This Xuannv No. [-] is controlled by me remotely."

"Next, I will send you to the nearest city, where you will be properly settled."

Hope's eyes were full of confusion, and he nodded with a vague understanding.

The next moment, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly bowed to the robot: "Thank you!"

"If it weren't for you, maybe we would all..."

Zero in the holographic image shook his head, silently hiding his image, and replaced it with the appearance of Lu Yongchang.

"You don't need to thank me, you should thank my creator."

"Your creator..." Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Hope suddenly widened his eyes, "I recognize him! He is, he is..."

"Professor Lu Yongchang."

Zero reminded softly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hope tapped his head lightly, looking at the holographic projection with a little light in his eyes, "I want to be like Professor Lu in the future!"

"Okay, after the hibernation is over, you can choose your life." Zero said softly, "In 10 minutes, Professor Lu will speak to all human beings on Earth. Do you want to hear it?"

"Ok!"

Hope nodded vigorously.

Chapter 169 Humanity, glory forever

As Hope's voice fell, the holographic projection inside Xuannv No. [-] changed rapidly.

A string of countdown timers appeared in the air.

09:45

09:44

Looking at the numbers jumping in the air, the young Hope had a flash of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

I don't know what Professor Lu will say?

……

within a collection point.

Crowded.

The bright lights can't hide the gloomy atmosphere in the air.

Everyone's expressions were carved out of a mold.

Silent, negative, face ashen...

Slight sobs came from all corners, mixing together to form a noisy background noise.
