"Do you suspect that the ceiling is the node connecting the 'New World' to the dust?" Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin and asked Jiang Baimian.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"The dark shadow that sometimes pokes out and sometimes retracts but cannot be touched is very similar to the large amount of darkness I sensed by the 'Doctor' with the 'Angel of Life' necklace.
"And the 'doctor' is a strong person who has entered the 'new world'."
In addition, a more important point is that Shang Jianyao also used the breath of the "Angel of Life" necklace to enhance his own senses, and only then did he discover the specialness of the ceiling.
Listening to the conversation between the team leader and Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little scared:
"If those black shadows represent the nodes of the 'New World', doesn't it mean that we may be infected with 'heartless disease' if we stay a little longer?
"It doesn't take fourteen days at all, and we will be wiped out! Uh, except for the old guys."
According to the speculation of the "Old Tune Group", whether the "heartless disease" originates from a certain virus in the "New World" or from the "darkness" that has a certain connection with the "New World", humans will gradually suffer from "heartless disease" after staying in the area around the "New World" node for a long time.
With the size of this laboratory, several carbon-based people in the "old tune team" can support up to half an hour!
"Liar!" The honest business Jianyao once again scolded the "future" of artificial intelligence.
What about using the two system locks to make the humans on the scene kill each other within fourteen days?
Thinking back on the previous closure of the door, whether it was Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, or the castrated version of "Yuan Nao", they all felt that the "future" could do this kind of thing.
"Whether it's true or not, we have to hurry!" Jiang Baimian looked around the central control room and considered the next step, "Hey, let's still put on the military exoskeleton device, but don't turn it on, and closely monitor whether there is electromagnetic wave intrusion."
The timid but cautious Shang Jianyao had no doubts about this, and with the assistance of Long Yuehong, he quickly put on his military exoskeleton device.
On the other hand, Jiang Baimian, with Bai Chen's help, also completed this matter quickly.
She exhaled and said:
"We are now back in the main experimental area and use that ceiling as a breakthrough."
After saying that, she bent down and picked up the flashlight, then waited for a second, and waited until Shang Jianyao walked to the door of the central control room before following him.
Without turning on, the military exoskeleton device is actually a burden to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, a burden that is not light, but fortunately, they are both physically outstanding and extremely strong.
The castrated version of "Source Brain", wrapped in an electromagnetic shield, brought his tools and chose to follow them.
In the process of returning to the main experimental area step by step, fluorescent lamps everywhere went out on the ground, and even the emergency backup lights lost their luster.
The "future" of artificial intelligence has cut off the power supply to the laboratory, plunging the place into darkness where you can't see your fingers, and the castrated version of the "source brain" can no longer be charged.
The crackling sound sounded continuously, and Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others turned on the flashlight and illuminated the front with a yellowish light.
Finally, they walked back to the main experimental area.
At this moment, as the flashlight strafed the surroundings, Bai Chen discovered a problem:
"Those guard robots are gone!"
In the main experimental area, there were originally several guard robots standing in different places, in a dormant state, but now, only instruments, corpses, and tables and chairs remained here.
The "Source Brain" was weakened by the electromagnetic shield and the red light flashed a little:
"Those guards are definitely under 'future' control, equivalent to its men.
"It probably doesn't want these bad and one less right-hand man to be damaged by our dying struggle, so it has moved them to other places."
This is a judgment it makes based on its own understanding of artificial intelligence.
"We still have to find their whereabouts first and deal with them to a certain extent, otherwise they may rush out to cause trouble at the critical time." Jiang Baimian held a flashlight and searched for the whereabouts of those guard robots.
After a quick search, Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen found that on the other side of the main experimental area, the metal door leading to the freezer was closed.
At this time, Long Yuehong, who was responsible for inspecting the ward, office, and morgue, also returned to the main experimental area and reported on her own situation:
"There are no robots in the rooms on either side of the hallway."
He did not use the walkie-talkie to report in advance, but chose to face to face because he was worried that electronic products would be affected by the "future" and the information transmitted would be distorted.
In this regard, Long Yuehong is still very cautious.
"Ward 14 also has no personal belongings belonging to the volunteers." Shang Jianyao next to Long Yuehong added.
This is another thing, he just did a search by the way.
——The volunteer, or experimental subject, who is few in the main experimental area, is suspected to be from Ward 14.
"It seems that the guard robots have entered the freezer area." Jiang Baimian nodded, and cast his gaze and the light of the flashlight at the same time to a metal gate not far away.
"I'll blast it!" Shang Jianyao was eager to try.
Jiang Baimian hesitated for a moment and looked sideways at "Source Brain".
The castrated version of "Source Brain" spoke:
"I am worried that it will trigger a series of reactions and delay our time to save ourselves."
Bai Chen thought for a few seconds and said:
"Why don't you block them inside?
"In this way, even if they want to sabotage our attempts, they have to open this door first, and this will cause a lot of movement, and we can easily detect and prepare in advance."
Dangdang, Shang Jianyao's applause was not late.
"Not bad!" Jiang Baimian nodded appreciatively.
Bai Chen accepted it calmly, but subconsciously explained:
"I did something similar when I was a relic hunter to minimize interference from competitors."
As she spoke, the castrated version of "Source Brain" and Shang Jianyao walked towards the metal door at the same time, using tools to destroy the delicate electronic and mechanical structures.
Jiang Baimian greeted Long Yuehong and pushed several large instruments nearby, trying to block the door.
Seeing this, Bai Chen tacitly observed the surroundings to guard against accidents.
Soon, the metal gate leading to the freezer was completely paralyzed and covered by layers of obstacles.
Jiang Baimian then issued another order:
"Destroy all the electronics around that empty bed, including the fluorescent lamps on the ceiling, to prevent the 'future' from using them to spy on our actions."
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to pick up the "Berserker" assault rifle and pulled the trigger.
In the banging sound, with the empty bed as the center of the circle, within a range of almost five meters, bullets flew across and sparks flew.
In less than three minutes, only the "old tune team's" own military exoskeleton devices, bionic smart armor, flashlights and other items were left in good condition in this area.
Shout...... Long Yuehong exhaled and shone the flashlight in her hand at the empty metal bed.
Sensing the darkness and silence around him, he suddenly thought of a question:
"When the old world was destroyed, most of the researchers in the laboratory survived and ran away, they would definitely not keep the relevant secrets anymore, but why did no one know about this place except Ore?"
As soon as Long Yuehong finished speaking, a slightly smiling male voice replied:
"Because they either became 'heartless' or were eaten by 'heartless', they all died in the ruins of this city."
"That's right...... Long Yuehong just nodded, and suddenly realized that it was not Shang Jianyao who answered him, nor was he "Yuan Brain"!
His pupils dilated instantly, and together with Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and the castrated version of "Yuan Nao", he turned his flashlight and gaze somewhere.
In the next second, they saw Wu Meng, wearing a gray formal suit with black stripes and small round-rimmed glasses, sitting on a chair on the edge of the main experimental area, smiling and looking at himself and others.
"I'm sorry, as an audience, you shouldn't interrupt when the play is staged, you guys continue." Wu Meng said with a smile.
"Aren't you here to save us?" Shang Jianyao was quite "disappointed".
Wu Meng chuckled:
"The Taoist does nothing and goes with the flow, while the rebel Tao moves, I have been sealed for a long time, and I will inevitably want to find some entertainment, so come and see how you fight against that guy and escape from here.
"Go on, just pretend I don't exist."
Being stared at by a terrifying being like you, who is more dangerous than the "future", we are even more worried...... Jiang Baimian calmed down, walked to Shang Jianyao, and said in a whisper:
"First rotate the 'Six Consciousness Beads' and the Little Jade Buddha to try, if you can't sense those black shadows, or can't lock them, use the corresponding abilities, take out the high-performance battery and the simple discharge device you made to try.
"Since the 'future' is suspected of 'manipulating electromagnetism' through the 'New World' node, then we are likely to have a certain effect by hitting the node with a high current.
"Don't worry, wait until I finish communicating with 'Source Brain' before going."
Jiang Baimian spoke very quietly, afraid of being monitored by the "future".
Then, she walked to the "source brain" whose entire body was wrapped in an electromagnetic shield and asked in a whisper-like volume:
"If you exclude the interference of the 'future', how soon will you be able to break through that firewall?"
"At least three weeks." The castrated version of "Source Brain" replied.
"This won't work......" Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds, "Instead of seeking control, paralyzing the laboratory control system so that the self-destruct device cannot be activated?"
"It's still the same." "Source Brain" replied honestly, "The self-destruct device and the control system are in parallel, regardless of whether the latter is paralyzed or not, as long as someone tries to violently open the door, or causes excessive damage in the laboratory, it will be activated directly, and it is also protected by that firewall."
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian's response, "Source Brain" said again:
"However, if there is no 'future' interference, I can use the interface of the laboratory's central control system to send a large amount of useless data to the firewall, consuming corresponding resources so that the self-destructing device cannot receive the activation signal immediately."
Jiang Baimian's eyes lit up:
"How long can this be delayed?"
"With the resource allocation of my current body and the comprehensive ability of that firewall, it can delay for at least 56 seconds, and the longest is no more than 63 seconds." "Source Brain" knew enough about the various systems in the laboratory to calculate the corresponding data in an instant.
Jiang Baimian nodded slowly and said:
"Almost a minute.
"It's barely enough......"
She then looked at Shang Jianyao:
"Start!"
