"Is this your so-called parallel world?"
Sarah sat at the table, enjoying the food Yang Tao provided.
"This is my world. Don't overthink, it's literally a new world, Sarah. I travel to different Worlds, collecting things I feel are valuable."
"At the same time, I'm also looking for fun, so I don't turn into a monster… Well, actually, I've already changed too much. I wonder what will happen in the future."
He took a sip of Seer Tea, looked at John Connor, who was eagerly watching him, and asked with a smile, "Want to try some?"
"Can I?"
"Of course, no problem."
Yang Tao's face showed a warm smile as he took a new cup and some Seer Tea powder from his backpack.
This almost magical act silenced Sarah.
"Are you a god?"
"No, just a little special, that's all."
Yang Tao pushed half a cup of Seer Tea in front of John and cautioned, "This stuff has a peculiar taste, like eating some worms. They'll wiggle in your mouth."
"But in return, it has many benefits for the human body, such as making you stronger and relieving your stress…"
John curiously picked up the cup, looked at the liquid inside, and asked, "Worms? Are they real worms?"
"It's just how it feels when you drink it; they're not real worms."
John nodded slightly and picked up the cup. Sarah, by his side, wanted to stop him but quickly dismissed the idea.
After taking a sip of the fresh Seer Tea, John's face instantly turned liver-colored, but the little guy didn't spit it out; he forced himself to swallow it.
"This is absolutely disgusting!"
This was the first thing John said after drinking it.
"No pain, no gain. Alright, you two hurry up and eat. Once you're done, I'll send you back to your own World."
The mother and son fell silent upon hearing Yang Tao's words, quietly eating their meal. Time passed quickly.
After eating their fill, the three of them arrived at the wooden door leading to the Terminator World.
"Sarah, pay attention to your health… Never mind, I wish you good luck."
Sarah nodded slightly, holding John's hand, and said, "Thank you, no matter what, thank you for your help."
With that, she led John into the wooden door.
Watching the wooden door close, Yang Tao shook his head helplessly.
'Skynet…'
Skynet is a very interesting artificial intelligence. It is completely different from the Red Queen, the Matrix, or the terminals in 'I, Robot.'
From the moment it went online… or rather, even before it went online, its goal was to rule the Earth and eliminate humanity.
There was no excuse whatsoever.
It was as if… as if Skynet's underlying programming was simply to eliminate humanity.
'I wonder which is stronger, the Red Queen or Skynet…'
The Matrix?
Don't be ridiculous. In terms of pure expressive power, the Matrix is not on the same level as those two.
Just as Yang Tao was about to go check out the New World.
The wooden door behind him opened again, and Sarah led John into the Overworld.
"???"
"No… no, this isn't our world,this is the future! 13 years later!!"
Upon hearing Sarah's words, Yang Tao couldn't help but show a look of surprise. This sudden situation also piqued his curiosity:
"13 years later? A parallel world? Or the future?"
"I don't know either. I only stayed for half an hour to figure things out, then I came back here."
Sarah's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Half an hour?
Yang Tao showed an intrigued expression. Here, it was only a dozen or twenty seconds, yet Sarah told him half an hour had passed:
"Heh heh, how interesting. Let's go see this future together."
If it really is the plot of Terminator 3, then this World will face the fate of being destroyed by nuclear bombs.
Yang Tao stepped into the wooden door, with Sarah and John following closely behind.
The Terminator World was now deep into the night, with no one around, only the distant dim streetlights emitting a faint glow.
Sarah frowned tightly and said, "It was daytime when I left…"
"Not much difference."
Yang Tao looked at a veterinary clinic by the roadside, recalling the plot of the Terminator 3 World.
"Sarah, congratulations on arriving in a parallel World."
"Parallel World?"
"Exactly, a World where Judgment Day cannot be stopped."
If he could have traveled a few days earlier, he might have been able to prevent Skynet from going online, but now Skynet had decentralized itself, infiltrating countless computers worldwide. It only needed to integrate all its resources before it could directly initiate Judgment Day.
However, there were too many things to complain about.
Yang Tao tried to persuade himself: 'I'm here to find terminators, not to do scientific research…'
It must be said that the T-X is truly delicious.
Beep beep.
A car approached from a distance. Yang Tao moved off the road and walked towards the veterinary clinic. The adult John Connor should be inside.
A panel van with 'Pet Hospital' printed on it followed closely behind them, turning and stopping at the entrance of the veterinary clinic.
"You…"
A woman with short, reddish-brown hair got out of the car, looking at the three of them with some confusion.
[World Exploration Value 12.55%]
'Is a parallel World considered a brand New World?'
Looking at the pop-up exploration value, Yang Tao smiled and said, "We're looking for someone…"
Katy Brewster.
She's considered the protagonist in Terminator 3, but she doesn't have much presence, after all, the selling point of Terminator is still the Terminator.
Katy reached out, tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear, and asked with a smile, "Do you need any help?"
"No, thank you. We can just rest on the bench over there for a while."
Yang Tao politely declined her offer. The T-X would arrive on its own soon, so there was no need to bother the 'protagonist.'
Upon hearing his words, Katy forced a polite smile, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the veterinary clinic, took out her key, opened the glass door, and entered the clinic.
Listening to the barking coming from inside the clinic, Yang Tao said to Sarah, "She's like you…"
Sarah asked with some confusion, "Like me?"
"That's right, Katy Brewster, in this World, she, like you, is being hunted by a Terminator. Also, she's John Connor's partner, but only in this World."
John widened his eyes upon hearing this and said, "She'll be my lover later? Oh, cool!"
"Heh heh, cool?"
Yang Tao chuckled and said nothing, instead turning his gaze to the side of the road. A middle-aged woman in her 40s, carrying a pet carrier, was walking hurriedly towards the veterinary clinic.
She didn't pay any attention to them sitting on the bench, but instead walked directly to the veterinary clinic door and rang the doorbell.
Ring ring…
Hearing the doorbell of the veterinary clinic, which sounded like it could die at any moment, Yang Tao said with a smile, "Luckily it's early morning… If it were daytime when there are many people, it would be a miracle if anyone inside could hear the doorbell."
Sarah held John in her arms and said, "During the day, a veterinary clinic doesn't need a doorbell."
Yang Tao: "!!!"
"You make a lot of sense, but if there's no one in the clinic at night, then a doorbell isn't needed either…"
