Embers Ad Infinitum

Long night after fire https://

Because there are lights in the laboratory, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao did not need to use flashlights, and they could see the corresponding scene clearly after a certain distance:

Three gray-white metal beds are arranged side by side, placed in an arched instrument of the same color, and a wire with a circular sheet hangs above them.

At this time, there was a white bone on each of the two metal beds. They were covered in tattered blue and white checkered clothing, lying very standard, except for their heads tilted to the side.

The other one was empty and clean, with no dust.

"The air purification system here is always on?" Shang Jianyao couldn't find the focus and looked up at the ceiling.

Otherwise, after so many years, not even a little dust will fall.

Jiang Baimian ignored his words, walked to a metal bed with human bones, and carefully observed for a few seconds.

She organized the following language:

"There are many traces on the metal surface, indicating that the corpse was decayed here..."

While speaking, she turned her head to look at the metal bed without bones:

"And it's very clean.

"Preliminary judgment, after the destruction of the old world, there should be no people or corpses lying here."

What she meant was that Long Yuehong might have had an illusion just now.

The honest Shang Jian Yao immediately retorted:

"Maybe the corpse above woke up on its own, staggered away, and then the cleaning robot in the laboratory came over to deal with it?"

Judging from the current situation, because of the high level of confidentiality in this laboratory, robots are widely used. Jiang Baimian cannot deny that there is no clean type.

She even suspected that the robots here entered a state of "sleeping" only after the arrival of the "source brain" and no longer fulfilled their duties faithfully.

And Ole, the former emperor of "First City" and the father of "Source Brain", has a high probability of grasping the identity of this laboratory, which is directly recognized by the robots.

This is inferred from the fact that Jiang Baimian did not show any obvious damage in the laboratory.

Stop telling ghost stories... Long Yuehong didn't appreciate Shang Jianyao for helping herself.

At this time, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao exchanged verbally and carefully checked the empty metal bed.

They didn't find any clues worthy of attention.

Jiang Baimian immediately came to the operating area of ​​this instrument.

There is a stack of stapled paper.

Jiang Baimian is quite familiar with this:

Experiment log book!

Looking intently, Jiang Baimian found that the experimental record was kept open, and many items were listed on it:

"Serial Number" "Heartbeat" "Blood Pressure" "Frequency" "Intensity"...

Perhaps this experiment had just started when the old world was destroyed, so except for the numbers under the serial number column, everything else was blank.

And the serial number column wrote three groups of numbers in turn:

"14 (left bed);

"27 (Intermediate bed);

"32 (right bed)."

Jiang Baimian turned his head, and once again cast his eyes on the three metal beds in the arched instrument.

According to her experience, the empty one is the left bed with the serial number "14".

She quickly communicated this information to the team members.

"This should be the number of the test subject..." Bai Chen muttered to himself while observing his "defense zone", "What is the basis of the number?"

Suddenly, Long Yuehong's inspiration flashed:

"Could it be the ward number?

"14 refers to the subject living in ward 14?"

Just now when the "Old Tune Team" entered this hall along the corridor, they noticed that numbers were marked on the doors of those wards.

Pong Pong Pong, Shang Jianyao applauded Long Yuehong by tapping the side of the Berserker assault rifle.

"Probably." Jiang Baimian also agreed.

She was silent for a moment, and her tone became solemn:

"Since this is written in the experimental log, it means that three people were indeed lying here at the time.

"And now there are only two bones left."

Hearing the words of the group leader, although Long Yuehong had a certain degree of psychological preparation, she was still shocked and blurted out:

"Just ran and dropped one?"

"It's also possible that I ran away when the old world was destroyed. I went out to fool around during the day and went back to sleep at night. I just lay down today and found outsiders coming in, so I had to sneak away." I don't know which Shang Jian Yao Nao made up the whole thing." process".

It's kind of humane... Jiang Baimian doesn't know how to evaluate it.

Long Yuehong glanced at Bai Chen before subconsciously retorting:

"As soon as the old world was destroyed, these experiments, uh, the volunteers should not have died yet.

"If what we just guessed was correct, they were all in a vegetative state at the time."

Shang Jian Yao smiled and said:

"So do you think that a dead person sneaks away from reality, or a vegetable person sneaks away from reality?"

Isn't it realistic? Long Yuehong roared in her heart.

Jiang Baimian's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"At least Jiang Xiaoyue, a vegetative before the destruction of the old world, still has a corresponding spiritual corridor room to this day.

"When the old world was destroyed, it was not impossible for a certain vegetable to wake up suddenly..."

Pong! Shang Jianyao took a picture of the Berserker assault rifle and suddenly realized:

"I see!

"The Northern Company and this secret laboratory are researching how to take over the power of ‘dark’ and allow humans to acquire special abilities, and there is nothing more suitable for experimentation than a vegetative person who has lost his consciousness.

"Without self-consciousness, there will be no conflict with the erosion of'darkness'!

"The destruction of the old world was because of problems with such experiments. The'darkness' broke through the barrier and completed a large-scale erosion, which caused the corresponding human consciousness to be ablated and became the'unintentional.'

"A small number of representatives of these vegetative people have become ‘dark’ lackeys because they have no self-consciousness, but have come to a blessing in disguise, and have awakened.

"Jiang Xiaoyue is, so is the one on this bed, the same is true of "Doctor", "Charlie" and "Deputy Dean"!"

Long Yuehong wanted to say that Shang Jianyao was again thinking about taking advantage of the special mental patient, but the more he listened, the more surprised he became, but in the end he felt that the other party's speculation was somewhat reasonable.

In any case, at least the logic is self-consistent and can explain some phenomena!

Jiang Baimian fell into deep thought and asked deliberately:

"Then why is there still a'no heart disease' now?"

"The erosion of'darkness' continues, but it has been resisted and weakened a lot. For example, "Dawn" has been fighting against the'nightmare', so now there will be'innocent diseases' sporadically, and some people will awaken sporadically. "Shang Jianyao answered with confidence.

Jiang Baimian didn't comment on whether his guess was correct, "heh" said:

"According to your logic, you and I are now "dark" lackeys?"

The awakening can only be completed by being corroded by the power of "darkness".

Shang Jian Yao replied sincerely:

"We are not qualified yet, we are too weak."

"Only those who have entered the so-called'New World'?" Bai Chen joined the discussion.

Jiang Baimian's heart moved, and he muttered to himself:

"Returning from the'New World' will carry the power of'darkness' and cause an outbreak of'intentional disease' in the surrounding area?"

The "Old Tune Team" previously speculated that the source of "Innocent Disease" was the "New World". If the strong man who entered the "New World" did not destroy his body, it would be equivalent to establishing a node between the dust and the "New World". "No heart disease" then spread over.

This can effectively explain why "Innocent Disease" cases appeared in "Pangu Biology" during the "Initial City" turmoil, and why "Innocent Disease" occurred after staying in the area around Yanhu for a long time.

Now, this speculation and Shang Jianyao's "imagination" just now seem to be able to combine.

Before Shang Jian Yao and others responded, Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"What is the relationship between'New World' and'Darkness'?

"Well, let's talk again after leaving the ruins. Remember to remind me when I return, and search for Ward 14."

"Okay." Long Yuehong quickly swept his gaze to other places, focusing on the "sleeping" robots.

Fortunately, none of these guards was "awakened" by the voice of the "old-tuned group".

For some reason, Long Yuehong always felt a chill on the back of her neck, but it wasn't to the point where it was blown or blown by the wind.

Based on the tactical manual, he did not hide this matter, turned his body, and said to Jiang Baimian and others:

"Do you think it's gloomy here, especially behind the neck?"

"No." Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen shook their heads at the same time.

At this moment, the corner of Long Yue's red eyes swept away and found that there were more figures on the empty metal bed!

"There!" He moved the muzzle of the "Beerker" assault rifle in horror.

Then, he could see clearly that Shang Jian Yao was lying down.

This guy lay on the metal bed sneakily at some point.

"..." Jiang Baimian squeezed out a smile and asked Shang Jianyao, "What are you doing?"

"I was thinking, what did the vegetative man see after he woke up." Shang Jianyao answered calmly, "and then tried to restore the scene."

Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, and he asked sternly:

"Then what do you see now?"

"The ceiling is quite clean." Shang Jianyao replied with emotion or regret.

Jiang Baimian was taken aback, and said in his heart:

"Try putting on the'Angel of Life' necklace."

She remembered that when she used the "Angel of Life" necklace, with the help of the aura contained in it, she sensed the darkness that was suspected to originate from the "Doctor".

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up, and he picked up the tactical backpack next to him and took out the "Angel of Life" necklace inside.

He didn't show any part of his limbs was paralyzed, because he was always lying on ~www.readwn.com~The silver pendant held by Shang Jian Yao Zuo then lit up a little, like the moon reflecting the sun.

After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"There are some dark shadows on the ceiling, they stick out a little from time to time, and then quickly retract back."

Long Yuehong looked towards the ceiling subconsciously, and found that there was a silvery white, there was no dark shadow.

Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:

"You, try to get in touch with them and use your own consciousness."

"Tried, but no response." Shang Jianyao has always been proactive in this regard.

"Shoot and see?" Bai Chen suggested.

"Okay." Shang Jianyao raised the Berserker assault rifle.

Jiang Baimian immediately looked at the guarding robots, fearing that they would be awakened by the gunshots.

when!

A bullet hit the ceiling made of metal.

No abnormality occurred.

The guard robot did not wake up either.

Jiang Baimian groaned and sighed:

"I have a chance to try again later, now I will find Lao Ge."

Shang Jianyao, who values ​​feelings, quickly put away the "Angel of Life" necklace, and got out of bed.

Several members of the "Old Tune Team" formed a battle formation and walked towards the metal door on the side of the semicircular hall.

After passing through two wide open doors in a row, they saw a giant computer.

The computer was not running, it seemed to have been damaged, and a tall figure stood in front of it.

The figure of 1.9 meters is suspected to be Genawa.

His whole body was wrapped in a strange white costume, and he stood there as if he had no electricity.

Perceiving someone coming in, the figure suddenly turned around.

The position of his eyes then revealed a little red light, and his mouth followed with a cold voice:

"Nothing at all!"
