Chapter 3538 [Ride the Yellow River]
When Captain Miyuki came out, several people including Xiao Luo SIR had already changed into special protective clothing and were ready to trigger.
The leader is Dr. Yaohua, and Deputy Captain Jiankang has allocated at most half of the manpower, and the rest are responsible for protecting the remaining researchers - because the researchers are the assets of the group.
The destination is located on the twelfth underground floor of the research institute, but in fact Dr. Yaohua is unable to confirm whether the place she wants to find is separated by a black wall.
"Everyone, be careful from here on." Dr. Yaohua said in a deep voice, "There will be many dangers spontaneously generated near the black wall. They may be traps or terrifying creatures... Also, the concentration of poison gas on this floor will be higher. The most important thing is not to tear the protective clothing."
Acting swiftly, everyone jumped directly into the elevator shaft, landed on the twelfth floor, and then broke open the elevator door in one go.
"these are……"
The moment the elevator door to the twelfth floor was opened, the entire corridor was almost filled with corpses... They were all people wearing research institute uniforms, with pale and hideous faces, black blood vessels all over their bodies... and some were even festered.
"The black wall disaster that erupted on this level is too terrible." Captain Jiankang sighed: "This is a disaster that suddenly erupted from the inside. We have no choice but to retreat urgently."
"How many people are there in this research institute?" Captain Miyuki asked in a deep voice.
Deputy Captain Jiankang did not answer this question, and ordered his men to start clearing the road ahead. "It seems that under the corrosion of this enhanced toxin, the black wall disaster that originally occurred on this level cannot be spared. This is good news."
Dr. Yaohua quickly walked to the side of the passage, opened a small remote control terminal on the wall and began to operate it. "The main power system can no longer be connected... but the backup energy should be able to support it for a while. That's great. The fifth laboratory is still there, and it seems that it has not been damaged."
The soldiers of the team couldn't help but ignite some spirit, and worked harder to open up the passage.
We cleaned up all the way to the fifth laboratory without encountering any danger.
In front of them was a giant laboratory that was very well preserved... There wasn't even any poison gas that had seeped in... But Captain Miyuki and the others were shocked by the layout of the fifth laboratory.
Under the spotlight, in a giant pipe trough, the remains of some kind of [creature] were being soaked.
It was as if it had been torn apart alive... and eaten, with less than half of the body left, and most of the internal organs were exposed - even the brain, with nearly one-third of it exposed.
It even had only one eye left, connected to it by nerves, and there was no focus at all.
Even so, the height of the wreckage is nearly ten meters... When it was complete, it must have been quite huge.
Yaohua opened her mask and came to the base under the container. "Deputy Captain Jiankang, time is limited. I need your people to cooperate with me and activate the device here. Please follow my instructions."
Deputy Captain Jiankang made a silent gesture, and the team members dispersed.
This was obviously not a task that could be started and completed immediately, and Dr. Yaohua immediately entered a focused working state... For a moment, Xiao Luo SIR and the other three seemed to have nothing to do.
"This... this should be the [Chenghuang], right?" Captain Miyuki looked up at the huge wreckage - although it was torn into this state, it could still be barely recognized.
"Yeah." Xiao Luo SIR responded softly.
Since he came in, his eyes have never left.
"It's still alive!" Ah Fei's voice suddenly rang out, with an inexplicable look of anger and fear, "Look... its heart is still beating... very weakly! How cruel!"
The only remaining eye, which had completely lost focus, seemed to be looking at them...but no one knew what it could see.
"Is it cruel?" Deputy Captain Jiankang walked over slowly and said calmly, "Compared to what it brings, this little bit of cruelty is nothing."
"This!" Ah Fei couldn't help but glare at him.
Suddenly, Da Liu put his arm around Ah Fei's shoulder, signaling him to be quiet. Ah Fei glared at him angrily, then simply ignored him.
"You have no idea how great this research would be if it could be fully applied." Deputy Captain Jiankang shook his head, "If it weren't for special circumstances, you wouldn't be allowed to come here."
"Thank you very much." Captain Miyuki couldn't help but sneer, "It is because of this research that I even became a wanted criminal."
Deputy Captain Jiankang just shrugged and said, "If you feel uncomfortable here, you can help patrol outside... After all, the alloy door above has been opened by you, and the terrible monster may appear at any time. After all, this may be our only way to contact the outside world, or even break the deadlock."
Xiao Luo Sir ignored Vice Captain Jiankang, and finally withdrew his gaze from the living [wreckage]... He walked to the side of Dr. [Yaohua], thought for a moment and said: "It has been like this for a long time."
Dr. Yaohua frowned, but he didn't stop the manipulation of his fingers. Instead, he answered casually, "I don't know. It looked like this when we found it. We used many methods to keep it alive in this way. It's a pity that its consciousness is not very active anymore... It's more of a body instinct to be alive."
Captain Miyuki and A Fei were stunned... Could it be that they were rescuing this [Chenghuang]?
Xiao Luo thought for a moment and said, "Next, can you tell us your specific actions? After all, we don't know much. If we can communicate effectively, we won't be so flustered when something unexpected happens."
Dr. Yaohua was silent for a moment before speaking: "It's actually already very weak. We don't know how long it can last... and every experiment will cause its remaining strength to disappear a lot. At present, I'm afraid it can only complete the last time, and it will eventually die. But if all goes well, it should be able to open a short space-time channel."
"What will be on the other side of the passage?" Liu suddenly asked.
"Not sure." Dr. Yaohua shook his head. "At present, we don't have the ability to correctly point to the target on the other side of the channel... so it's random. According to previous examples, there is actually no reference value."
"Can it really open the channel of time and space... to reach another world?" Liu Da... was somewhat shocked and unbelievable.
"Dr. Yaohua, you said too much!" Deputy Captain Jiankang couldn't help but frowned.
"They are right. Knowing more can indeed help avoid risks." Dr. Yaohua shook his head and said, "Unless you have the ability to kill them right now, the secrets of this institute are no longer secrets."
Deputy Captain Jiankang fell silent... Captain Miyuki was easy to deal with, but Da Liu and A Fei were very dangerous - as for Xiao Luo SIR, he must have gone crazy to cause trouble.
[Sky and Space Fortress] has fought hundreds of simulated battles, and even with its think tank fully operational, it still cannot find a completely effective and feasible solution... unless it uses special armor equipped with a small [anti-spiritual force field].
But that thing can only be equipped by the Royal Guards in the fortress - this is also the ultimate promotion goal of Deputy Captain Jiankang: to become the Royal Guard of the fortress!
"In short, I will report truthfully after the crisis is resolved." Deputy Captain Jiankang said in a deep voice.
Captain Miyuki ignored the deputy captain's threat and said in a deep voice: "I don't know the details of your research... but it seems that even if you succeed this time, you will only open a channel to other realms, and you are not sure whether it is useful? What's the use of this?"
"It's another time and space." Dr. Yaohua said seriously, "Different time, different dimension, not the realm you know."
"I don't care about all this nonsense. I just want to know, what use is there in opening such a channel in our current situation?"
Doctor Yaohua finally stopped. "At present, after the sublimation of the heaven and earth of Canglan Cave Heaven, the space-time intensity of this world has soared a lot. With the current situation of Chenghuang, it is no longer possible to truly open a space-time channel... But because of this, I plan to modify the parameters of the channel and keep it open in the human world. You can also think of this maze as another world. Our goal is to open a channel from the maze world to connect with the human world."
Captain Miyuki rubbed her brows. This was obviously beyond her scope. "I'll go outside and take a look at the situation."
"I'll accompany you." Da Liu took the initiative to say, "A Fei, you stay here."
Upon hearing this, Ah Fei patted Da Liu directly, leaving a mark of space teleportation.
Captain Miyuki hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
……
"You possess space-related magical powers?" Dr. Yaohua looked at the young boy A Fei in surprise.
"...What's the matter?" Ah Fei asked with a frown.
"You may be able to help me." Dr. Yaohua said directly: "Perhaps, with your participation, we will have a better chance of success."
"This..." Ah Fei couldn't help but hesitate, but Da Liu had gone out temporarily, and he couldn't find anyone to refer to, so he subconsciously looked at Xiao Luo SIR standing beside him.
"You can make your own decision." Xiao Luo SIR smiled slightly.
Like encouragement.
Dr. Yaohua invited again: "Don't worry, if you feel dangerous, you can withdraw immediately... I just need to help locate it, which can save us a lot of effort."
"Okay." Ah Fei finally agreed.
Dr. Yaohua took out a helmet-like cover and handed it to Ah Fei. "Although Cheng Huang's consciousness is no longer active, it has not completely dissipated. This device can help you effectively capture part of Cheng Huang's consciousness... Come, take it with you, and I will assist you."
As he spoke, Dr. Yaohua also took the initiative to put on an identical helmet cover.
"You mean, I can share thoughts with it?" Ah Fei couldn't help but hesitate again... No one likes to open up and expose their consciousness.
"It's capture." Dr. Yaohua corrected: "We are only capturing Chenghuang's residual consciousness in order to activate its remaining power... You can feel it first to see if I am lying to you."
Ah Fei gritted his teeth and activated the hood. In an instant, a faint sense of stimulation seemed to spread throughout his head... He trembled slightly all over.
"what……"
But after a moment, Ah Fei's face changed slightly, and he instinctively took off his hood, "What on earth is this!"
To be specific, it’s about thirty seconds.
"One of the things that impressed it the most was probably also the source of its fear." Dr. Yaohua said calmly, "At present, only these obsessions and fears can still remain... What you saw was the scene of it being attacked. Don't be afraid, I have seen it many times. It will not cause any harm, it is just more realistic."
Ah Fei gritted his teeth and said, "I saw it being captured by an even bigger monster, a terrifying creature with golden horns, biting its body piece by piece... I could even feel the pain it was feeling at that time."
Yaohua nodded, "You can take a short break. We'll continue when you're ready... Remember, that's just the memory left by Chenghuang. It's very short-lived."
"Can I try it?" Xiao Luo SIR suddenly asked.
They both looked at each other in surprise.
"...This isn't something fun." Ah Fei took the initiative to hand over the hood, and said with a bitter face: "Really, it's hard for you to want to experience it a second time."
Xiao Luo SIR didn't say anything and just took it and took it with him.
Dr. Yaohua felt that although this young man spoke very little, he was the center of the group, so it would be difficult to refuse him. Moreover, without her guidance, even with the hood guide, it would only be passive perception, so she did not take it too seriously.
She subconsciously glanced at the ripple graph on the screen that was being fed back in real time by the hood guide link, and the pointer was moving continuously.
A straight line that seems to be able to extend forever as long as it doesn't stop.
"How could..."
——He was not affected by any trace of the residual consciousness of [Cheng Huang]? !
Dr. Yaohua, who didn't believe in evil, even subconsciously began to partially operate the hood guide and review the data. Time passed second by second, and soon exceeded A Fei's time.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
"This has exceeded the highest record, five minutes! It actually exceeded five minutes..." Dr. Yaohua seemed to have discovered a new undeveloped continent, his eyes full of surprise and ecstasy.
Finally, after the sixth minute, Xiao Luo SIR slowly opened his eyes and removed the guide.
"What did you see?!" Dr. Yaohua asked, staring intently.
"home."
Dr. Yaohua's pupils shrank violently. She seemed to be trying her best to hide her emotions at the moment, and whispered, "Did you...really see the [Chenghuang Township]?"
Xiao Luo SIR shook his head slightly, looked at Dr. Yaohua, and said softly: "Your hometown."
Dr. Yaohua was stunned, and instinctively wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt severe pain all over his body and fell directly to the ground... The birthmark-like pattern on the back of his neck was now bright red like blood.
