Ark, they don't revolve around you

He walked lightly. Normally, it would be difficult for someone who had not been out of bed for a month to walk, but his steps were even lighter than before. This was the transformation brought about by the evil demon fragments.

He walked to the control center and looked at the huge host box. That was the core of PRTs. When it was excavated on Rhodes Island, there was only a skeleton and this host was buried with it. It was later unsealed by Kal'tsit.

No wonder Zhuang Ning was so obsessed with Rhodes Island before he lost his memory. That was the relic that Presace left for you. In a world that was about to be destroyed, she built an ark with you like Noah. She knew that she might not be able to board the ark, so she left a system for you.

A...supercomputer spirit based on his own personality!

"Doctor, are you awake?" PRTs' voice sounded, still so cold.

Zhuang Ning closed his eyes and thought for several minutes, then put his hand on the keyboard to enter the code. It seemed like he had never forgotten this familiar string of numbers.

He pressed enter.

In an instant, all the lights in the control center lit up, just like the spotlights on the stage. With an order, the beast that Rhodes Island had sealed began to move!

This is a secret that even Kal'tsit doesn't know. Rhodes Island originally belonged to Zhuang Ning, and his authority is far higher than anyone else!

The screen showed that it was being upgraded and equipped with a new personality and memory module. This would take some time. Zhuang Ning waited patiently, sat in a chair, and hummed a tuneless melody.

It was a rather unpleasant and tuneless melody, but he sang it over and over again. A woman in his dream had complained that he should shut up, but Zhuang Ning thought that his singing was actually quite nice.

The faint blue light beam behind them cast a shadow, still dressed in that familiar way. In the dream, they hugged each other again and again.

Now the girl curtseyed and introduced herself, "I am PRTS, the artificial intelligence with the personality of Priss. Long time no see, Doctor."

At this moment, the ice melted, as if they finally met again after a long time. Zhuang Ning stretched out his hand and tried to touch her, but it passed through. Yes, it was just a projection, but he always felt that the girl was waiting for him in some corner. He told that person that he would take her home when everything was over.

Zhuang Ning smiled gently: "Long time no see, Precious."

This was the first time in a long while that Zhuang Ning smiled sincerely.

Late at night, Kal'tsit's terminal rang, informing the doctor that he had finally woken up from his dream - she had placed a detector on Zhuang Ning to ensure his safety.

She immediately came to the control center, and then was slightly stunned.

In the central command center, a man dressed in black and with a mask on his face was sitting in the middle.

He was surrounded by a girl, who also smiled and said in surprise: "Ama-10, is this your servant, Doctor?"

"No, this is the person in charge of Rhode Island now, right?" Zhuang Ning said softly, very gently, "If I'm gone, you have to listen to her, understand?"

"Well, anyway, I'm just an AI now, and your orders are the highest orders."

Kelsey was stunned and couldn't believe it: "What is this?"

"After the upgraded PRTs, we can start modifying the Rhodes Island. The ship's anti-natural disaster system, weapons, and power system will all be upgraded. Presais will be responsible for these together with you and the engineering department."

But Kelsey just asked stupidly: "Why did she show up?"

She thought of a possibility: "Doctor, your memory...?"

"Recovered, but only a little, Kal'tsit." He took off his hood and smiled. "Don't waste time. Rhodes Island is still at the Dragon Gate, right?"

"Yes, we are still preparing for matters in Longmen."

"Leave Longmen immediately and go to Yumen. I will arrange for someone to prepare the necessary procedures. I have slept for a month, so it may be too late."

"Yumen?" Kelsey frowned. "Now?"

"What else? Time is money, Kal'tsit."

"But--"

——There are still many people who want to see you.

For example, Mostima, Chen Huijie, Texas... Don’t you want to see them?

Kal'tsit swallowed his words. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her, he just didn't want to waste time.

"What's there in Yumen?" she asked reluctantly. Since she wanted to go to Yumen, there must be a reason.

"There is the future and tomorrow of Da Yan, Kal'tsit." Zhuang Ning spread out his hands, his expression grand and solemn, "Let's go to the border and hinterland of Da Yan and welcome the master of this land."

In his hand was a gorgeous and complicated wine cup, which was the strange object left by his second brother to make the utensils come alive. He gently stroked it, with anticipation: "Years, will wake up soon."

About six o'clock.

In the docking area, a car roared by and Chen Huijie walked out of it.

She rushed over almost non-stop after receiving Kal'tsit's message. When she arrived, she found that she was not alone. Mostima and Texas were also there. They stood there like petrified, not saying a word.

Chen Huijie looked on and his face turned pale. The sky was bright and the giant creature had already set sail, heading towards the distant wasteland.

The first moment he woke up, Zhuang Ning rejected everyone's condolences and instead asked Rhodes Island to leave Longmen as quickly as possible.

Even... unwilling to look at them.

Chen Huijie unconsciously put her hand on her chest. It hurt so much. Was that person really complaining to the point of not wanting to even look at them?

She had prepared so much and wanted to tell her about her realization during her sleep, but in the end, she couldn't even see the man for the last time.

At this moment, someone came up onto the deck, the morning glow shone on his body, and his black coat fluttered in the wind.

He and the girls looked at each other across a distance as vast as a chasm, and then looked away after a glance.

They walked farther and farther away, and they watched him disappear into a place where they could no longer see him, feeling panic in their hearts.

They all stretched out their hands as if to keep him, but they all knew it was meaningless.

The rosy glow broke through the darkness and the light broke through the clouds. This was the dawn and the world was shrouded in hope.

It seemed as if a distant singing voice was ringing, singing an ancient melody.

“My hometown people, wherever they are now, I always miss them.”

——Volume 1, Where are my hometown people now? End.

<Volume 2: Soul and Spirit Return to Hometown>

Chapter 8 Year (k)

In the training room of Rhodes Island, Zhuang Ning slowly raised his right hand and looked straight at the target in the distance. At this moment, he was like a monk in meditation, and he remained unmoved even when tempted by the three realms.

He seemed to be petrified, but the darkness around him began to boil. The so-called darkness was nothing more than mist flowing out from Zhuang Ning's side. In this hellish scene, he seemed to be challenged in some way, and a few drops of sweat dripped down his face.

A few minutes later, Zhuang Ning finally moved. He lifted the gun beside him like lightning, loaded it, and pulled the trigger! He completed this action almost instantly. The shell fell off in an instant, and the bullet flew out along the rifling, leaving a black arc in the air!

There were three bullets in total, and they devoured the target in the blink of an eye. There were no bullet holes on the target, but a huge hole that had been devoured, as if it had been devoured by an invisible beast.

At this time, Zhuang Ning exhaled and walked over to look at the target. The hollow space was filled with an eerie color that made people shudder.

"How does it feel, Doc?"

Zhuang Ning did not turn his head as the brisk voice echoed. He had gotten used to the voice recently. After pondering for a moment, he answered quietly, "It is undeniable that the fragments of the evil demon have greatly improved my combat power. I can expand the kingdom at will, and even hide the kingdom in this tiny bullet. Once hit, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will be swallowed up."

He downplayed it, as if the power was insignificant. In his eyes, the fragments of the evil spirit were neither powerful nor special. They were just a means that could be used.

"The Doctor is not that weak Doctor. I'm not quite used to it." Prts muttered. As the AI ​​that carries Precious' personality and memories, she is really no different from the girl in his dream.

Zhuang Ning was curious: "Not used to it... What was I like before?"

"What can he be like? He doesn't talk much and I can't tell what he's thinking." Precious sat down next to him.

Zhuang Ning laughed along without saying much. On one hand, he collected his kingdom, and on the other hand, he maintained the gun in his hand. He was not yet accustomed to the feeling of holding power, and still attached great importance to the weapon.

Recently, with Precious's company, he felt much calmer. This is his mentality. Even if Precious is just an AI, even if this seems to be just an empty comfort, but the girl is right next to you, and hearing her voice, everything seems insignificant.

After maintaining his weapon, he did some tests on his abilities to see where his limits were. He couldn't use his abilities casually, but his body had reached a certain level. Even on the battlefield, he didn't need to rely on the protection of others. Zhuang Ning himself was a sharp blade!

Feeling exhausted, Zhuang Ning went out onto the deck and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see flying sand not far away.

Before my eyes was a desert without any spring breeze. In ancient times, it was probably the place where the imperial court of Dayan used to exile criminals.

——Yumen.

"Yumen is a good name, but it is incredible that those 'humans' can develop a mobile city in such a terrain." The projection of Precious said silently.

Zhuang Ning understood her mentality. Precious had just connected with the huge data of Rhodes Island. For this personality, the past world had completely changed. Although the Terrans inherited part of the legacy of the previous civilization, they were still like children playing with fire with guns.

Zhuang Ning rarely defended the Terran countries: "Technology has regressed after all. From our perspective, it is inevitable that it seems forced. Mobile cities may be the most suitable for the current situation."

Precious nodded slightly. She didn't care much about these things. Even if it was very strange from her perspective, so what? Now she was just an AI, a personality simulated by layers of codes and matrices. The command written at the bottom of her code was to protect and obey Zhuang Ning, so of course she would think that Zhuang Ning's words were correct.

Precious was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Do you need Yumen?"

Zhuang Ning raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

She looked as if she had seen through the truth: "You value Yan very much, so you must also value this fortress."

Just as he finished speaking, the wind and sand suddenly blew up, and the sky and the earth changed color. The dust storms in Yumen Spring always come suddenly. Zhuang Ning returned to the ship slowly, and then he exhaled: "We take it very seriously."

"After all, this city was created to suppress the shield and sword that were created to suppress the year beast."

……

Yumen.

Compared with Longmen, this city has a much longer history.

It should be noted that the Terrans have been using Originium for quite some time, but the Crystallization Revolution has only been around for about two hundred years. At that time, the technology for large-scale city building was not yet mature, and the construction of a mobile city required a huge cost.

Yumen is a fortress that was born in this era. In the pre-electricity era, people used beacon fires to convey messages to surrounding settlements and soldiers. Therefore, Yumen has preserved the beacon tower, which shows how ancient it is.

If Longmen is a charming girl who is addicted to the bright lights and wine, then Yumen is a warrior built of iron and blood. The ancestors of the people here are mostly frivolous knights who broke the law, or descendants of officials who were implicated. Influenced by this, Yumen is particularly martial.

Even so, this bitter cold land in the north of the Great Wall still has fertile soil and good families. The Yan people's dedication to farming has been engraved into their bones. Along the route of the oasis, most of the people in this city are honest citizens. They have received formal training and can take up arms in wartime, shouting "When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spears and swords. I will share my robes with you even if I have no clothes." However, on weekdays, they just swipe the terminal and wait for the few good people who come to supply them every year.

Although life is not very good, he has a sense of pride. Firstly, Marquis Ping Chong is in charge here, and although the general is old, he can still eat meat. Secondly, the master is here, and Yumen is the benchmark of Dayan martial arts.

Pingchonghou Zuo Xuanliao once defeated the invading army of Ursus from the south, and later led Yumen to the north to stop the evil spirits in the northern border. He was also friendly to his subordinates and the people, so he was quite famous.

But his prestige is far less than that of Grandmaster Zhongyue. This man is famous throughout the world, and all those who practice martial arts admire him!

Zhongyue's title of Grandmaster was not self-proclaimed, but a title given by everyone who had fought with him at some point in time. His martial arts skills were at the pinnacle, and even the most powerful warriors could only hit him with one or two punches. Such a person would usually be arrogant, but he was extremely friendly and rarely got angry. Later, he collected martial arts from all over the world and established a military officer to record martial arts.

This is a perfect man in the literal sense, he has almost no flaws.

And half a year ago, a big event happened - the grandmaster's sister actually came to Yumen!

The younger sister spoke with a Shangshu accent. She was very enthusiastic and always introduced herself to others with a proud look on her face. However, the people of Yumen were generally friendly to her. After all, she was the sister of the master. However, almost everyone at that time was shocked that the master had such a young and energetic sister.
