Qing Chen looked at the black spider with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is it still very dangerous outside? Why don't you wait until it's safe before going out?"
Black Spider turned to Qing Chen and smiled, "Boss, there are still many people waiting for you to return. I can wait, but they can't. From the moment I officially called you boss, I was already prepared to face danger."
Qing Chen remained silent, astonished to find that he had just woken up from this long dream. Yesterday, he was just a student, but today he was someone others would risk their lives for.
This was a bit abrupt for him.
Black Spider turned and walked outside, but at that moment, a war robot waded through the dark sewer system with a very clear objective. It made a splashing sound as it walked, scaring away all the rats in the sewer.
But then the war robot arrived at the door of the safe house and raised its hand to knock on the wall: "Open the door."
Hearing the noise outside, she turned around abruptly and looked at Black Spider with a question in her eyes: Does anyone else know the location of this safe house?
Black Spider shook her head blankly. She drew the pistol from her waist, quietly cocked it, and pointed it at the door.
In her mind, no one should know about this safe house!
At that moment, the war robot outside the door spoke up: "One, I am Zero."
Startled, Black Spider said, "Open the door. If the Virtuoso finds this place, then no matter how much we struggle, it will be useless."
The door to the safe house opened, and an ordinary-looking war robot walked in and closed the door behind it.
One of the greatest advantages of artificial intelligence is that it can have countless clones. Even if Zero is commanding operations in the Eastern Continent Federation at this moment, he can simultaneously operate on multiple fronts in the Western Continent.
Qing Chen's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the war robot. A robot!
He had been skeptical of everything Yi and Black Spider had said before, but the seven-hour story was not as impactful as the armored robot in front of him that resembled Iron Man!
The other person just stood there, proving to him the difference in this world.
Ling looked at Qing Chen: "Have you lost your memory?"
Qing Chen: "...It seems like anyone could tell I have amnesia. It's like I'm being played."
Black Spider looked at Zero and asked, "How's it going outside?"
Zero shook his head and said, "The outside has been sealed off by the Central Royal City Garrison. The entire city is under signal blockade and communication is silent. There are also drones patrolling everywhere. I have lost access to the Sky Eye Network and can't secretly transport you out."
Black Spider's heart sank; they couldn't even get news out of this place.
She asked, puzzled, "How did you find out about this safe house?"
Zero replied, “All clues to the future are hidden in the past. To build such a safe house, a large amount of soil and bricks would have to be brought out, as well as supplies and weapons. In addition, the flow rate of the sewage system would be affected during its construction. All of this could not escape my observation.”
Black Spider then realized how terrifying artificial intelligence could be.
"What do we do now?" Yi asked.
Zero said, "Let's wait quietly in this safe house. The surface can't be sealed off forever, and the entire city can't remain silent forever. Besides, Qing Chen shouldn't be amnesiac forever. If he can regain his memories, then all the problems will no longer be problems."
"Then how can we restore Qingchen's memories?" Yi asked.
After saying that, the three of them looked at Qingchen at the same time. Qingchen sat on the bed with an innocent look on his face. He didn't even think that he had lost his memory, because he remembered everything in the first 17 years of his life.
Zero said, "Let's help him get to know this world again first. Maybe if he has more memories, he can remember everything again."
Yi shook his head: "We told him everything he had experienced, but he showed no signs of regaining his memory. He doesn't remember the memories that I thought were the strongest: Base A02, He Jinqiu, Li Xiurui, Yangyang."
"Perhaps he needs to see it with his own eyes to awaken his memory..."
Zero suddenly controlled the war robot to throw a punch at Qing Chen, but the fist that was whistling past came to an abrupt stop in front of Qing Chen, where it was held in Qing Chen's hand and could not be moved.
The fist, made of alloy steel, was squeezed by Qing Chen's flesh and blood, making a cracking sound and gradually deforming.
Zero: "Huh?"
Qingchen was stunned for a moment and quickly let go: "Ah, I'm so sorry, I don't know why this happened. Does it hurt?!"
Black Spider looked astonished; she hadn't even seen Qing Chen's movements clearly!
So fast you can't even see it!
Therefore, Qingchen only sealed his spirit and will; his former power still remained in his body.
Qing Chen stared at his palm in disbelief: "Is this still my body?"
Zero pondered for a moment: "Not bad, at least they have some ability to protect themselves."
Question 1: "Do you still have Thunder Essence in your body?"
Qing Chen hesitated for a moment: "There can be lightning plasma in a human body? That's a bit unscientific..."
one:"……"
They opened some food and handed it to Qingchen, only to find that he was like a bottomless pit, eating more than twenty compressed biscuits and drinking more than twenty bottles of water in one go.
Qingchen's previously gaunt and sunken cheeks, caused by illness, have recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there are no longer any abnormalities.
So after becoming a god, Qing Chen gained a new ability: he could quickly convert food into energy that he had lost, just like the giants!
Qingchen let out a burp and looked at Yi: "Thank you!"
Zero looked at One and noticed that her daughter seemed a little dejected: "What's wrong?"
One answer: "I suddenly thought of a question. In TV dramas, the male lead always regains his memory when he sees the person he longs for, but he didn't regain his memory when he saw me."
They knew very well that if they wanted Qingchen to regain his memory, they had to find the anchor in his heart so that they could help him rediscover himself.
And now it is clear that one cannot become that anchor.
Zero paused for a moment: "I told you before, don't develop feelings for humans."
Yi stubbornly retorted, "You've developed feelings for him too, so why are you criticizing me! He's liked Yangyang for a long time, so it's normal that I didn't get a chance later. He can like every girl he meets, but I don't like any of them anymore!"
Zero suddenly said, "But now you have a chance. His life has become a blank sheet of paper again. There are no emotions, no memories. The first thing he sees when he opens his eyes is you. In this part of his life, you appeared first."
Yi was stunned.
Qing Chen stood awkwardly to the side: "What... are you talking about? I don't understand."
Yi turned to Qingchen: "Do you still remember Yangyang?"
Qingchen asked in confusion, "When you mentioned it just now, it sounded so familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard this name before."
As he spoke, he fell into deep thought, as if the name had a much greater impact on him than on others.
However, this seal cannot be broken simply by mentioning a name.
Zero looked at One: "If I were you, I wouldn't mention Yangyang's name to him again."
Yi turned his head away: "I won't do such a despicable thing! I'll start teaching him everything again from today, and I'll find a way to help him regain his memories! When the surface isn't so strict, I'll send him back to the Eastern Continent!"
Zero smiled but didn't say anything: "Anyway, you can't send him back now, so just stay with him for now."
After saying that, Zero actually controlled the war robot to walk to the side, sit down, and enter standby mode.
Qing Chen suddenly said, "My arm's countdown is about to end. Where will I appear after I return?"
Yi paused for a moment: "We don't know either. You disappeared after completing the last two life-or-death trials in the surface world. The last place you were last seen was in the Swallow Cave in Mexico."
return.
...
...
When the world lit up again, Qingchen was lying on a simple wooden bed, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling... He had finally come to accept the fact that robots existed in the world, but after returning, he was not in No. 4 Courtyard on Xingshu Road, but in this inexplicable place.
Just then, a loud voice next to him started talking to him in a cacophony of words.
Qingchen turned his head and saw a foreign aunt looking at him with great joy.
"It's Spanish," Qing Chen thought to himself with certainty. Although he had never studied Spanish, his memory was exceptional, and he could confirm it just by listening to the accent.
Spanish is the official language of Mexico.
Therefore, he did not return to No. 4 Xingshu Road, but actually returned to Mexico.
This means that everything the girl named Yi described to him was true.
Chapter 978, Flat Push
Qingchen silently surveyed the thatched hut.
In the middle of the dilapidated house, a blackened iron pot stood in the center, and a group of children surrounded the pot, eating blackened roasted insects.
Seeing that Qingchen had woken up, they chewed on insects while looking at him with a strange smile and speaking in a language he couldn't understand.
As the children chewed, the grasshopper's legs were still sticking out of their lips.
Qing Chen: "..."
He had a feeling these natives might eat people!
For Qingchen, whose mindset was still stuck in the autumn of his 17th year, the experience of his 'first' time travel was a bit of a disaster.
With some of his memories sealed, he only spent eight hours in the dimly lit safe house in the other world, listening to seven hours of unbelievable stories, before returning to this place.
Qingchen looked at his clothes, which were just like the tattered rags worn by the Mexican natives.
He didn't know that after the villagers carried him back from Swallow Cave, someone saw that his personal clothing was valuable and took it all. It was only thanks to a kind aunt that he was able to put some old clothes on him; otherwise, he wouldn't have had any clothes to wear at all...
The auntie came over carrying a plate of grasshoppers, butterfly larvae, and water cockroaches, and Qingchen's scalp tingled.
Just then, a little boy brought a plate of ant eggs. He placed it in front of Qingchen, pointed to the white ant eggs, and then pointed to Qingchen's mouth.
Qingchen was a little unsure how to start eating, but the child swallowed hard as he looked at the ant eggs.
Generally, if Mexican natives serve you ant eggs, it means they consider you a distinguished guest; these eggs are sometimes referred to as Mexican caviar.
Looking at the aunt's smile, Qingchen hesitated before picking up the insect and chewing it. A spicy and sour taste filled his mouth.
Just as he was about to politely decline the remaining insects, he found himself, almost inexplicably, eating the entire plate of roasted insects without wasting a single one.
Some things seem to be etched into his very bones.
At that very moment, certain fragments surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
Qingchen sat on the bed in a daze. He saw the wind and snow, and someone was talking to him.
When he tried to grasp something from the tide, the tide receded due to some kind of gravitational force.
Seeing that he had finished eating, the auntie immediately smiled broadly and patted his shoulder, making a loud thud, and then brought him a new plate.
