Mist - Chapter 25
After half an hour.
There are 176 consoles in total.
It is exactly the same as the Jinwu No. 1 base.
Frequently frowned during the rainy season, which was much more difficult than he thought.
Every two consoles and two energy transmitters correspond to each other, continuously transmitting energy at both ends of PU-31, providing energy source while maintaining it from being sucked away by the cracks.
Imagine that if a certain energy transmitter is turned off too much at the same time, the PU-31 will lose its balance, the world will turn and everything will be overturned, and landslides and tsunamis will be trivial.
Therefore, according to the coordinates of the PU-31 real-time model, whether it is on Jinwu No. 1 or Jinwu No. 2, the console must be closed in an accurate sequence during the monsoon to maintain its balance.
He knew that after the mission was completed, PU-31 would no longer exist.
Therefore, before the task is completely completed, they must have someone stay to perform the final operation, plan a route to avoid all the “black walls” and return to the initial jump point, and take the capsule to return to their own era.
During the monsoon rains, they have long understood why they will continue to choose the points of A and B teams for extension in the future.
Not only because teams 3 and 4 are the most promising points to break the game, but also because the two parallel timelines ensure that someone will stay to complete the final operation, and also ensure that they can get as much as possible. All members return.
Choosing them must be the result of countless futures after countless cycles.
Then there is a problem that hits the mind directly—
The “I” on the two parallel lines are actually the real “I”, and both have real subject consciousness. Who should stay to complete this task?
The console was a foot away, and the battle was fierce.
The teammates fought **** battles, and no one thought of retreating.
Team B is to Team A.
It is that I am standing side by side with myself.
“boom!”
During the monsoon rains, he raised his purple right arm and killed a zombie. Under his dark eyelashes, his mood was unclear: “Have you discussed this issue?”
During another rainy season, he said: “No.”
No surprises during the rainy season.
Because he never thought about giving this multiple-choice question to his teammates to choose prematurely.
It’s too cruel to compete with yourself.
“Two possibilities to complete the task.” He asked, “Are you afraid that they are all wrong?”
“Fear,” said calmly during another rainy season, “how about you?”
“boom-“
The bombing interrupted the conversation between the two.
Song Qinglan’s last energy cannon exploded, and the shock wave shook everyone to the ground.
The giant spider’s corpse flew horizontally, and all the ventilation ducts burst open. Amidst the earth-shaking noise, the alien species hidden in the duct finally fell to the ground, revealing its original appearance.
A mass of flesh consisting of an unknown number of species, accompanied by mucus squirming on the ground, countless “tongue”-like tentacles peeking around on the ground, panicking like being extremely afraid of light.
The meat mass is very sticky and does not have the ability to walk independently, so it hides in the pipe and only squirts and slides.
It wriggled, and human limbs and faces appeared on the back, as if they were all alive with their own movements-it absorbed the living people in the base that had not yet mutated, and merged them with itself.
Li Chun saw this scene, combined with the remaining mucus on his body, vomiting dimly on the spot.
Although the other Li Chun didn’t know why, but seeing him like this, she couldn’t think of a connection, and knelt on the ground and vomited.
Everyone: “…”
At the same time, they shot the meat ball, and after a while, they swept it into rotten meat.
Two or three severely wounded giant spiders descended from the sky, dragging the rotten flesh away in the gunfire.
The rest of the zombies were seven or eighty-eight, and everyone was panting with exhaustion.
“Counselor Ji.” Two Song Qinglan stepped into the control room, “How are the calculations?”
Speaking in no particular order, they were surprisingly consistent.
During the monsoon rain, the black clothes said: “I have turned off some of the energy transmitters in order on Jinwu No.1. I only need to set aside a route back to the jump point, and everyone can arrive safely.”
His face was paler during the monsoon rains in white clothes. As the same person, he seemed to be weaker: “Yes. I will turn off the energy transmitters in order until the end.”
“You want to stay?” Song Qinglan on the left looked at him, and the one on the right frowned.
Two Song Qinglan, no one can tell the difference.
Of course, everyone is the same.
Li Chun covered with slime and Li Chun without slime.
Zhou Mingxuan, the small silent eyes, sat and stood up.
Duan Wen with a little more blood on his face and Duan Wen with not so much blood on his face.
Tang Qi with an arm injury and Tang Qi with a leg injury.
There is also the only one Tang Le who is alone, as if he understands something, is standing aggrievedly in the middle of the two soups.
“The mission is completed when the last energy transmitter is turned off. When the equipment restarts, we have to sit in the capsule safely and immediately jump back to our original time coordinate, otherwise we will fall short.” Wearing a black combat uniform. During the rainy season, “So someone must stay.”
The expression in the white clothes was very calm during the rainy season, seamlessly connecting with another own words: “According to the plan, we who stay here will return to the anchor point after being swallowed by the darkness, and the anchor point already had us at that time, we Will become one.”
Zhou Mingxuan asked: “However, the people who returned to the anchor point after being swallowed by the darkness were a few hours earlier than the people who went back to the jump point now…”
That’s right.
The time to return to the anchor point after the group is destroyed is always 4:41 in the morning.
But it was already 16 o’clock in the afternoon, and the time to return to the transition point was completely out of sync with the anchor point, and it was even nearly 12 hours late.
During the monsoon season, wearing a white T-shirt, said: “In the normal timeline, there can be no two of the same individual. After the two are combined, the memories will be superimposed.”
During the monsoon season in black combat uniforms, he continued: “At the moment the mission is completed, we may suffer the impact of a wave of memory stuffed into our brains. No matter who we are, the so-called “parallel timelines” will eventually become one.”
In the monsoon season of the white T-shirt: “So the two of us stay the same, but I think I will be more conducive to return to the jump point if I am not injured.”
The appearance of fighting side by side just now during the two monsoons is too dazzling, and now in everyone’s eyes, they are the only focus.
The fierce running-in in this mission made everyone believe in what the monsoons said.
Soon, Li Chun, who was covered in mucus, chose to stay: “Then I will stay.”
Then, Duan Wen felt more tired and Tang Qi suffered a leg injury.
There is only one Tang Le, so he has to follow the big group: “I don’t have a double body… I have to go, right?”
Tang Qi rubbed his head: “Yes.”
In the end, Song Qinglan remained.
“I stayed.”
The tall man took off the red energy magazine that had long been dimmed in his sleep, and replaced it with a new blue magazine.
He glanced at himself face to face and said: “I am tired from fighting monsters, and I will run for you during that part of the journey.”
Another Song Qinglan raised her eyelids: “No problem.”
As he said, he looked at the teammates who decided to leave, and said in a deep voice, “Don’t be so sad, it’s all about choosing between yourself and yourself. Isn’t it all the same after returning to the anchor point? Isn’t this saying goodbye to you this morning? It makes no difference to yourself when you wake up.”
The inexplicable sadness dissipated, and everyone seemed to wake up.
As the captain, Song Qinglan always has the ability to make teammates clear and full of blood.
“There is a space car from Jinwu No.1 outside. We will return to the jump point as soon as possible.” The black clothes slowly said during the monsoon rain. “We will contact you through public channels. Please pay attention to safety. This base does not know how to return. Are there other variants.”
“Okay.” He agreed during another rainy season.
Not much to say, I want to end this nightmare PU-31 journey as soon as possible.
Song Qinglan gave an order, and the seven left quickly.
The people in the remaining room seem to be the weaker self.
At the beginning of the meeting of the A and B teams, it has already heralded that they will say goodbye soon.
Is this the end?
They thought.
Obviously, he couldn’t continue anymore, and finally reached the moment of liberation, but a strong sense of unreality arose.
Really…Is it the end?
Faced with the piles of stumps, broken arms and rotting flesh on the scene, no one relaxes their vigilance in the overwhelming smell of blood.
This way, from the first cycle until now.
Can it really be over?
The hustle and bustle of the war base suddenly became very quiet, and occasionally giant spiders crawled past, but because it was too quiet, they could not feel the vibration and climbed away from the broken wall.
Li Chun and Duan Wen were stunned at the same place, not knowing what to do, Tang Qizheng was helped by Zhou Mingxuan to sit aside.
A zombie crawled over in the bloodstain and was killed by Zhou Mingxuan with a dagger.
In front of the console, in the monsoon season, according to the calculated sequence, start to turn off the energy transmitter.
176 consoles, 88 pairs of energy transmitters, every time one is turned off, a disordered energy field will appear outside, bringing nothingness into the world, forming a so-called “black wall”.
PU-31 is gradually disappearing, and the only route left is the way they escape. They know that there is a space vehicle outside now, racing in a world where zombies gather and black walls are frequent.
During the rainy season, someone behind me whispered: “Counselor Ji, you lied again.”
The action during the monsoon rain paused, then turned around: “Why do you say that?”
The corpse blood stained Song Qinglan’s face, leaving a pair of deep eyes very bright.
Rarely, he smiled at the monsoon rain, and couldn’t tell which Song Qinglan was behind during the monsoon rain.
Soon he knew.
Because the other party said: “The way you brainwashed everyone just now is exactly the same as the way you said I was your boyfriend when you were kidnapped.”
During the rainy season: “…”
It was Song Qinglan from Team A who walked this timeline with him.
Song Qinglan slept with one hand and completely relaxed, revealing a bit of laziness that was invisible in the battle, making people remember that he is just an ordinary person, and there will be times when he is tired.
He said: “Will we merge into one in parallel timelines? You are actually not sure, are you? Just like the meat mass formed by various human bodies just now-it is actually not only a mutation, but also multiple in parallel universes. The consequences of collapsing together after the same individuals appear in the same world.”
That’s right.
If they at the anchor point and those who returned to the transition point after completing the task fail to merge into one, it is very likely that there will be an accident similar to that of the flesh group, and the two themselves will overlap in one body, causing deformity or death.
As an experienced team leader, Song Qinglan’s theoretical knowledge of time and the universe is not necessarily less than that during the monsoon season.
“That is the worst result, and it won’t necessarily happen.” Song Qinglan seemed to be talking about irrelevant things, “but it is very likely that the moment the task is completed is the moment we are about to disappear.”
During the monsoon rains, he lowered his purple right arm and stood quietly: “Then why are you staying?”
Song Qinglan said, “Because, I think you must be prepared with both hands.”
During the monsoon rains, my heart beat slightly messed up.
These words were only known during another monsoon, and it was not surprising that he was originally himself.
The feeling of being guessed by others is very strange, he has hardly had such an experience before.
Song Qinglan said: “Regarding the black wall, I remember that it first appeared when we first arrived at the park management office, around 5:30. But whether it was Jinwu No. 1 or Jinwu No. 2, we were not there. The energy transmitter has been turned off during the time period. I boldly guess that there is actually more than one anchor point set by the sky. After we are swallowed by darkness, we will enter a new cycle and reach another anchor point until we close at 5:30 in the morning. The first energy transmitter.”
“It’s like a bigger loop fits into this small loop…but we don’t know or be sure.” Then Song Qinglan said, “So, they are the only ones who jumped out of this loop. We must have someone stay here to complete it. This new cycle allows the “us” who has just arrived at the jump point and walked towards the park management office to see the arrival of the black wall. This is a complete circle, and everything that the “us” encounters can happen afterwards.”
During the rainy season: “…”
At a certain moment, to complete a certain event, so that everything may happen in the future.
Song Qinglan guessed it.
In ouroboros mode.
They create darkness.
Become a person who chased the darkness again.
In a sense, this may be the real break.
This is another answer to the mission objective: they will become veritable dark chasers.
“Two-handed problem-solving ideas, two kinds of preparations to complete the task.” Song Qinglan said, “If you are wrong, the task is not as complicated as you think. It is unnecessary for us to stay and do it now. Then after we die, The other one can smoothly return to the transition point and return to our time.”
“If you are not mistaken, then we will enter a new cycle after being swallowed by darkness for a while, to turn off the first energy transmitter at 5:30 in the morning, to complete the predetermined event-is the real completion of the task. We are the same. Will return to the original anchor point, as if we had never left the woods, we will still be intact.”
Frozen during the rainy season.
Song Qinglan lowered her lips and said nonchalantly: “But if you forget, even if you are wrong, we still choose to stay. Sacrificing for ourselves is not a sacrifice. You don’t have to carry on all these things.”
Just an ordinary person during the monsoon rains.
Even if he has a super memory and a super observation ability, he can’t guarantee that everyone on the parallel timeline can return to the same world safely. He can only choose this way.
But how could Song Qinglan guess all these things he couldn’t say?
Then, the other Song Qinglan must have guessed it too.
Recalling the words the other party said before they left, they all matched with Song Qinglan’s current attitude.
Song Qinglan threw something to him: “Do you really think that a few of them don’t know anything. They all know how to play games like you in class?”
The teammates all looked at their direction and waved to the monsoon rains, saying that he was relieved that they were all right.
He took a look at it during the rainy season, and it turned out to be his black-and-white handheld handheld.
He was stunned: “This?”
“You gave the other one.” Song Qinglan said, “If there is a new cycle, and the time is still so long, are you sure you don’t need it to divert attention?”
Rubbing the game console during the rainy season.
Just listen to Song Qinglan’s question: “Is it from my family?”
Answered in the rainy season.
Song Qinglan was silent for a second or two, and then said, “Let’s make a bet.”
During the rainy season: “What to bet on?”
Song Qinglan: “Bet on the second way you choose to complete the task, and it is even better than you think. If I win, you will stay with the Seventh Sky Team.”
Song Qinglan looked serious and her eyes were deep.
Probably any captain who cherishes talents and is thirsty for talents has such a look.
Asked during the monsoon: “What if you lose?”
Song Qinglan has found the last console.
At this moment, another Song Qinglan’s voice came from the public channel, and everyone heard clearly: “We have all entered the capsule and are ready.”
“If I lose…”
Song Qinglan whispered, as if talking to herself.
But in the end, he didn’t say anything, and pulled the valve straight down.
The last two energy transmitters corresponding to the transition point at the Jinwu No. 2 base were shut down.
The **** battlefield in front of the console.
The huge base of Jinwu II.
Together with the rest of the team, they disappeared into the darkness with PU-31.
The last impression of the world during the monsoon is the game console with body temperature in hand.
With Song Qinglan’s broad back…
The author has something to say:
Note: I did not expect a more appropriate sentence for everyone to understand the plot. The sentence used in the article “to complete a predetermined event at a predetermined moment”, this sentence comes from the film critic Xue of Douban “Before Destination”.
