Chapter 49 The Terminator

Los Angeles, USA, 1995.

Li Buying suddenly appeared in the wilderness, and he frowned slightly as he looked at the sun overhead.

The system didn't assign him an identity this time, which means he's not here to help. He only has one task: to take down T1000.

What intrigued Li Buying was that the Terminator world had a clear time paradox, so would the world change its plot directly in response to his arrival?

The Terminator robots in the original work are constantly being upgraded, from the T800 to newer equipment, more like a closed loop in time.

Because the T800 traveled to the past, and the damaged T800 was taken for research, it spurred technological advancements in the future, leading to the emergence of newer models of the Terminator.

If we're going to indulge in conspiracy theories, maybe only Skynet in Terminator 1 truly wanted to kill the so-called savior John Connor.

And the terminators who follow, whether on the one hand or the other, may have been sent by Skynet, intentionally or unintentionally, to facilitate an explosive growth in technology.

However, it seems that there are parallel worlds in the Terminator universe, and each time you travel through time, you may arrive in a seemingly parallel world.

Speaking of which, before he transmigrated, netizens seemed to say that the computing power of Skynet in the movie was no longer as good as that of a 4090 graphics card.

Li Buying recalled this joke from her past life.

Pulling down his hood, he habitually took out a mask and put it on. Li Buying now understood why many superheroes and villains were used to hiding themselves with hoods or similar items.

That's because hiding one's face allows for a greater release of inner emotions, letting another, suppressed self appear before the public.

After putting on his mask, Li Buying thought for a moment. His first task was to find John Connor and Sarah Connor.

The system shouldn't send him too far, so the nearest mental hospital should be nearby. All he needs to do is find Sarah Connor and wait for T1000 and T800 to arrive.

If there's still time for him to rest, then he should get a good night's sleep. Li Buying is still extremely tired; he hasn't had a proper rest since he kidnapped Xiao Taoqi.

He wandered through the streets and alleys and soon found someone suitable to question—a group of thugs were surrounding a thin man, brandishing butterfly knives and extorting money from him.

Li Buying decisively walked over. When the thugs saw someone coming, they were about to speak when he knocked them to the ground with a single punch each, and then waved for the skinny man to leave.

After slitting the throat of one of the thugs with a knife, Li Buying looked at the other terrified men and asked, "Where's the nearest mental hospital?"

……

Through that group of thugs, Li Buying found the nearest mental hospital. In this era, there had not yet been an explosive growth in electronic technology, and there were not many surveillance cameras on the streets or even in mental hospitals.

He easily infiltrated the mental hospital, searching through the windows of each room until he finally spotted a woman with eight-pack abs who was constantly exercising.

It looks like it's her, but I still need to confirm.

As night fell, Li Buying climbed into the hospital to check their system and quickly found that Sarah Connor's name was indeed there, and the room number was the same as what he had seen.

Having found his target, he climbed onto the roof, and after completing his mimicry, he closed his eyes and rested on the top floor, falling into a deep sleep.

For the next period of time, he waited in the vicinity for the plot to unfold, and also practiced his magic.

Once he was certain that he could acquire artificial intelligence, he no longer needed to deliberately learn mind control; he could focus on mastering teleportation first.

About two nights later, a loud noise woke him up while he was sleeping on the roof!

Li Buying was awakened by the loud noise. He hung upside down from the roof and immediately saw two burly men fighting. One was all muscle, and the other was slightly weaker.

Furthermore, Sarah Connor is also fiercely protecting a child, who appears to be John Connor.

Great, the plot hasn't changed because of my appearance so far, so it's probably not a circular timeline, but a parallel world.

Li Buying has confirmed that there is only one T1000. During the battle, he did not make any rash moves, but instead paid attention to the situation inside.

boom!

Terminator T800 blasted T1000 with a shotgun, and T1000, now a policeman, was forced back a few steps by the shotgun blast. Taking advantage of its moment of stun, the group immediately ran towards the elevator, intending to go down.

Seeing this, Li Buying frowned and shouted, "Take the stairs! Take the elevator! Do you want to get trapped inside?!"

Upon hearing the unexpected sound, both the robots and humans instinctively looked towards the window and discovered a strange man wearing a spider mask hanging upside down, watching the battle.

"Run! To the underground parking lot!"

Li Buying shouted loudly, raising his hands and continuously launching spider webs. The flexible spider webs directly sealed off the T1000, which was caught off guard.

The other three didn't know who he was, but that didn't stop them from running away immediately, rushing towards the stairs and going down them.

Li Buying did not leave, but instead focused on the T1000 in front of her, with countless transforming blades popping out from the spider silk and tearing through the web.

T1000 stepped out, glanced at Li Buying, and then ignored him based on the data, turning around to chase after Sarah Connor and John Connor.

Not long after, the car carrying the three drove out of the underground parking garage. Li Buying leaped onto the roof of the car, glanced down at T800 and Sarah Connor who were about to fire, and said:

"I'm here to help your future genetically modified humans. Don't be confused yet, take care of the T1000s behind you first."

As Li Buying spoke, he waved his hand and struck the liquid robot, which hadn't had time to deform, causing its arm to loosen its grip on the vehicle.

Genetically modified humans?

Sarah's eyes widened, while T800 looked at John: "Should we eliminate the target?"

"No need, please ask this gentleman for help first." The child glanced back at the T1000 that was about to catch up and said decisively.

Li Buying temporarily dispelled the hostility of the crowd and looked up at the liquid robot that was chasing after her, which was constantly releasing spider webs.

He kept cutting through the incredibly sticky spider web, but the threads still stuck to his body. As the threads piled up, they began to stick to the ground, creating tremendous resistance for the T1000.

He didn't use Gravity Mastery; he prepared that move for later.

bang——

The shotgun bullets struck the robot, which was still running desperately, and it finally fell to the ground, beginning its self-repair process.

The liquid metal robot, firmly bound by the spider web, stared intently at the rapidly departing vehicle, its eyes flashing with fluorescent light.

……

The vehicle sped away and settled temporarily at an abandoned gas station in the wilderness.

After Li Buying jumped out of the car, Sarah immediately tried to point a gun at his head. He easily dodged it, then picked up a small knife from the table and deeply cut his finger, opening the wound so that the others could examine his bones.
