Embers Ad Infinitum - Vol 2.4 Chapter 8
Relying on the auxiliary chip of the biological prosthesis and the system of the military exoskeleton device, and relying on the strategy of slowing down, thinking twice and passing three times, Jiang Baimian managed to bring Shang Jianyao and the nuclear warhead to the end of the tunnel after only getting lost once.
The heavy iron-black front door was still tightly closed, and those “unintentional ones” didn’t seem to have tried to chase in.
“They clearly found me, and they also showed their desire to hunt…” Jiang Baimian looked at the door and muttered to himself with a little doubt.
She suspected that those “unintentional ones” were bound by some kind of restriction and could only move within a limited range.
After thinking about it, Jiang Baimian put Shang Jianyao and the crate containing the nuclear warhead in the tunnel against the side wall.
Immediately afterwards, she squatted in front of Shang Jianyao, extended her spirit, and touched his consciousness.
The familiar darkness came again, and the shimmering light in the distance gradually condensed into a street lamp.
“Long time no see!” Shang Jianyao waved his hand.
Less than two hours! Jiang Baimian always suspected that the other party was mocking him as a Lu idiot.
She only contacted Shang Jianyao before she took a nap. After waking up, she immediately moved her body, put on equipment, and brought the corresponding things into the Eighth Research Institute.
Considering that this method of contact consumes a lot of energy, she did not waste time arguing about this issue, she said bluntly:
I’m going to explore the ‘new world’ in reality now, and you provide me with protection.
“Well, my primary goal this time is to see how far away from your body the protection will lose its due effect.”
She was very careful with her words, and did not say “completely lost the effect”, because when the distance increases to a certain limit, the mental shield provided by Shang Jianyao may gradually decrease with the effect and can no longer fight against the reality “new world”. The extraction of human consciousness.
At this time, the mental shield actually still existed, it was just broken down.
“Okay, okay.” Shang Jianyao, who has always had an experimental spirit, said cheerfully, “Wait a minute.”
Because Jiang Baimian took the initiative to contact his consciousness with his spirit, which is equivalent to having established a connection. Therefore, Shang Jianyao does not need to waste time on sensing, searching and locking the target. The barrier was attached to Jiang Baimian’s body.
There’s not much delay, just a few seconds.
At the beginning, when Shang Jianyao stretched his spirit and came into contact with Yan Hu’s seemingly sleeping consciousness, he had the feeling that he would be dragged into the deep black water by the other party.
Thinking about it now, Yan Hu hoped for help on the one hand, and was hungry on the other hand, and finally made the contradictory behavior of shouting “Save me” and instinctively extracting the consciousness of the connector.
Fortunately, there was a certain delay. Jiang Baimian saw the opportunity quickly, and used an electric shock to disconnect the two in time, so that the tragedy was not caused.
Soon, Shang Jianyao informed Jiang Baimian that he had provided the consciousness shield she needed.
In this way, even if Jiang Baimian took back the spirit that extended past, the connection between the two would still exist until the effect of the shield completely disappeared.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Baimian restrained his human consciousness, stretched out his palms covered with metal bones, and used the most suitable force to make the heavy iron-black folio door open backwards almost silently.
What caught her eye was the flickering light.
In that small city, which is very similar to the “New World”, and can even make those who set foot on it become “unintentional”, there is a little bit of light that lights up in the dark night.
The absolute number of them is not much, no more than twenty. They are distributed in the tower and its surroundings, and they are completely incomparable with the dense stars in the night sky.
But in such a silent dark night, in such a strange place without real human activity, these dozen or so yellow or pure white lights still made Jiang Baimian feel numb on his scalp.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind:
“The Eighth Research Institute has been relocated, but it has not powered off the abandoned headquarters, probably because the small city at the end of the tunnel still needs electricity to maintain the operation of certain things.”
At first, she thought that the Eighth Research Institute was used as a nuclear power plant, and that shutting down the reactor was a troublesome task, and there was no time to do it in a hasty transfer.
It now appears that there may be a better explanation.
Phew, Jiang Baimian exhaled lightly and walked out of the tunnel.
This time, she no longer felt dizzy, her head throbbing, her soul was about to leave her body.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while, turned around, and slowly closed the heavy iron-black door.
She was worried that when the door was open, the group of “unintentional people” might escape the “restraint” and enter the tunnel.
Although this is unlikely to cause harm to Shang Jianyao’s body, if they carry away the nuclear warhead, then Jiang Baimian will lose his greatest trump card.
And this time she was sneaking into the night scout, and it was obviously inappropriate to carry a nuclear warhead, which would significantly affect the operation.
Anyway, she is wearing a military exoskeleton device and a powerful biological prosthesis. When the time comes, she will be able to open the door with a push and a push, and will not delay the opportunity to escape.
Compared with this, she is more worried about wasting precious time on the lost road.
Jiang Baimian, who had concealed his human consciousness, leaned on his waist, and quietly approached the real “new world” along the weeds that could be seen everywhere in the valley.
The temperature here is a little higher than outside. It is summer in the ice field, and all kinds of creatures are obviously active.
Relying on the electrical signal sensing and the night vision function of the exoskeleton device, Jiang Baimian did not disturb these “little guys”, silently arrived at the edge of the city, and hid beside a long-abandoned apartment.
Almost at the same time, she found that the bioelectric signals of the dots were distorted.
The visual “dashboard” of the “m-45” military exoskeleton device also told her that the electromagnetic environment here is different from the outside world.
“Sure enough” Jiang Baimian was not surprised at all.
According to the predetermined plan, she walked through the dark alley where the starlight was blocked, approaching the tower and the dozen or so lights around it little by little.
When she can directly see the destination, her “luchi” will be much better.
Seeing the target in sight, Jiang Baimian suddenly frowned.
She sensed too little consciousness of the “Mindless” along the way, almost only one-tenth of what she saw during the day.
At this time, she almost traveled through half the city.
“It’s impossible for the remaining nine-tenths to live on the other side, right? Or, they can hide their consciousness and shrink to those places with lights? But why can’t the one-tenth pass?” Jiang Bai Mian paused, lost in thought.
She couldn’t make any guesses for a while and walked forward for a while.
When the nearest lamp was less than thirty meters away from her, her head throbbed, as if someone had stabbed a certain nerve with a needle.
This familiar feeling made Jiang Baimian stop immediately.
This is a precursor to “no heart disease”!
However, as she stopped walking, the pain in her head remained at the same level as before, and did not deepen.
“When we got here, the consciousness shield provided by Hey gradually could not resist the extraction of consciousness, and corresponding signs began to appear.” Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and suddenly realized.
Her current location is only 167 meters away from the tower.
This made Jiang Baimian somewhat regretful and disappointed.
It would be better if Shang Jianyao’s consciousness shield was stronger.
But Shang Jianyao doesn’t know how to improve after entering the “new world”, and she doesn’t even know. If you want to break through the last hundred meters, you can only find another way.
Jiang Baimian took seven or eight steps back, got rid of the throbbing pain in his head, and quickly came up with an idea:
“Two ways:
“One is to move the body of feed in to shorten the distance between me and it, but it is still uncertain whether the effect of his consciousness shield has decreased, or the closer to the tower, the stronger the extraction of human consciousness;
“Secondly, it seems that the higher the level of the Awakened, the stronger the resistance to consciousness extraction. If I can enter the ‘Spiritual Corridor, plus the shield provided by Hi, I should be able to reach the tower…”
She’s still roaming the “Sea of Origins”, looking for the next island, and that island is likely to have the Golden Elevator and another
“she”.
Jiang Baimian, who couldn’t go any further, changed his goal and was ready to confirm the situation of those “unintentional people” that he could sense. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
In “New World”.
While maintaining Jiang Baimian’s mental shield, Shang Jianyao looked at the gray and earthy courtyard by the roadside.
The courtyard was pitch-dark, and there were no lights representing human beings, but before Shang Jian Yao, he heard a slight movement.
Um, two hours ago.
Shang Jianyao has maintained his current posture for two full hours!
“This is called prudence!” The honest Shang Jianyao started to praise himself.
After two hours of “listening”, he found that there was indeed some movement in the compound from time to time, sometimes it seemed like someone was walking, sometimes it seemed like there was wind going through the hall, and sometimes it seemed like a group of men and women were talking and laughing with their voices down.
The calm and rational Shang Jianyao glanced from side to side and said:
“There is always no light…
“The ‘New World’ situation may be more complicated and more secret than the previous lady shared with Jacob and Hendrick”
“Go in and see what’s going on?” The reckless Shang Jianyao took advantage of his colleagues’ inattentiveness, manipulated his body, rushed two steps, stretched out his hand, climbed over the wall, and entered the yard.
Among all Shang Jian Yao, his strength seems to be getting higher and higher.
As Shang Jianyao entered, the lamp representing him was lit in the courtyard.
