“Zero?” Miriam thought back and said, “You mean the AI, Zero, has appeared in front of us as a human? How did it do that?”
“I don’t know how it did it, but that’s the intuition I have…” Milo said, “I was able to sense it every time it called me even when its voice was disguised. It’s extremely rational and will occasionally reveal its supercomputing ability. Remember when it worked with Rudy, they made use of 12 points in a mountain to make it collapse? You’ve got a good knowledge of demolition too, so you should understand that no matter how good a demolition expert might be, there still has to be a limit. It’s still possible to destroy a mountain by yourself, but I don’t think it’s possible to guide someone to destroy a mountain with just a few pointers.”
Actually, Milo was not very sure of his answer, because even though the Stelaria Consortium’s artificial intelligence was very advanced, the question was, what kind of technology was there to create a physical vessel for the artificial intelligence to inhabit?
There was no programmable function in the human brain, after all. He had also never heard of the Stelaria Consortium making any breakthrough in this area.
Wait a minute!
Milo suddenly thought of something but could not grasp that fleeting thought.
“Forget it, the Stelaria Consortium’s problems don’t really have anything to do with us.” Miriam said, “I’ve been thinking about something recently. Previously, you mentioned to P5092 that you seem to have an innate talent for hunting, like someone’s taught you before. I’d like to ask what that’s about.”
“Oh,” Milo answered, “It’s not just talent for hunting that I have. We’ve traveled together before, so you should know about my skills in wilderness survival. For example, I know how to start a fire in the wilderness and set up camp to avoid snakes, bugs, ants, and other stuff. It’s like someone taught me all those skills before.”
“Like someone has taught you before?” Miriam asked, “Can you describe this feeling in detail?”
“It feels like someone very close to me once traveled across mountains and rivers and brought me along. That powerful feeling of intimacy is always something that I have around me,” Milo recalled, lost in thought. “That’s why I like the wilderness so much. It’s not only wilderness survival, I’m also self-taught at rock climbing. I know how to triangulate a position and find the best route to take. It’s as though I was born with the knowledge to do all that.”
“You weren’t born with it.” Miriam shook favonovel.com head. “Those skills exist in your lost memories. This might be the clue to solving the mystery of your background. Do you understand what I mean? There aren’t many people in the world who have the same survival skills as you, so I don’t think your background is typical either.”
Miriam was very sure of this, as favonovel.com had witnessed Milo’s wilderness survival skills before.
Were they things that just anyone could possess?
So, if it were really as Milo had said, someone must have taught favonovel.com all of that before. In that case, the other party’s traits should be very obvious.
Who was the person who taught Milo?
Miriam speculated that person was his father. Only a father would patiently teach their children and spend a great deal of effort to nurture them.
“Is there anything else? Anything related to the lost memories?” Miriam asked.
“Oh yeah…” Milo chuckled and said, “One winter, when it snowed heavily at Stronghold 113, I was out looking for food when I got stuck in the mountains. At that time, I really wanted to chop down a few wooden planks and ski down from the mountain. But when I realized that the conditions didn’t allow for it, I didn’t do so. However, my desire for skiing remained fresh in my mind. After this war is over, let’s go skiing together in the Northwest this winter. I heard that it’s a snowy place, so it should be quite suitable for skiing.”
“Sure…” Miriam smiled and got up to walk back towards the camp. “Deal!”
Milo was still sitting at the perimeter of the defensive position and looking forward to a beautiful life after the war was over.
When favonovel.com returned to the Northwest, favonovel.com would no longer have to engage in fighting and killing.
How great would that be?
However, Milo did not notice that Miriam did not return to favonovel.com tent. Instead, favonovel.com headed straight for Bruce’s tent.
After favonovel.com called Bruce outside, favonovel.com asked, “Ma’am, what are you looking for me for?”
“I’ll state a few conditions. See if you can help me find someone in your memory,” Miriam said.
If it were the past, it would probably be really difficult for favonovel.com to find someone based on these conditions. After all, there were tens of millions of people in the Alliance of Strongholds, so where could favonovel.com possibly find them?
But it was different now that they had Bruce. The man’s brain was like a computer.
Bruce nodded and said, “Go ahead. I’ll see if such a person exists in my memory.”
Miriam deliberated over favonovel.com words and said, “Who’s the best hunter in this world?”
Bruce was stunned. “Future Commander?”
Miriam was speechless.
She could not tell if this was Bruce’s attempt at flattery or what, but to be honest, favonovel.com really did not expect this answer.
Miriam bluntly said, “Let’s change the question. In this world, who’s the best at hunting, wilderness survival, skiing, and rock climbing? There’s no need to compare who’s the best since it’s not going to be easy. You can just give several answers at once.”
After all, no one had ever been compared like that in this way before. It would probably be a little difficult for Bruce to say exactly who was the best.
However, Bruce shook his head with a smile. “There’s no need to compare who’s the best at those skills. I only know one person who fits the description.”
Miriam wondered, “Who?”
“The Vasophati Group’s founder, Albert Boyer,” Bruce replied. “That man is a legend. A lot of people know he’s not just into skiing, free solo climbing, and wilderness survival. He also does wingsuit flying, downhill mountain biking, speedboarding, skydiving, BASE jumping, high diving, and surfing too. He’s recognized as the greatest ever in these activities…”
“Speaking of which, it’s also quite strange. Before The Cataclysm, those who were into such activities known as extreme sports would generally not accept others being better than them. But when I went through the information, I discovered that everyone in this scene recognized this founder of the Vasophati Group to be the best.”
Miriam was silent for a moment before asking again, “Are there any more legendary stories about the founder of the Vasophati Group?”
“Yes.” Bruce said, “It’s said that Albert unlocked the genetic code in favonovel.com before The Cataclysm. Do you understand what I mean? He might be the first superhuman in the world.”
“Is that a rumor or something true?” Miriam asked.
“I’m not sure.” Bruce chuckled and said, “There’s also rumors that his son also unlocked his genetic lock before The Cataclysm. Who knows?”
Miriam smiled. “Sorry to trouble you, thank you.”
“It’s fine…” After that, Bruce went back to sleep.
Currently, other than the soldiers on duty at the defensive position, everyone else was conserving their strength as they awaited the next battle.
