Chapter 750 Their Dreams (End of Headquarters)
After removing the storage device of the desktop computer and walking out of the room with the "red" window, Shang Jianyao looked sideways at the closed wooden doors around him.
He didn't try to open it, retracted his gaze, and followed Jiang Baimian, who was carrying a dark green rucksack and wearing a military exoskeleton device, down the stairs layer by layer.
When they returned to the jeep, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also received a signal to return to the team.
After a while, in the vehicle, Long Yuehong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, finally finished reading the letter left by Lu Fuxing.
He sighed sincerely:
"Fortunately, we didn't go to the Vegetative Rehabilitation Center of Renhui Hospital, otherwise it would probably be wiped out, uh......"
He "uh" thought that Gnava might not die.
In short, the terrifying level of the Vegetative Rehabilitation Center of Renhui Hospital is beyond his imagination, just entering different rooms, you may encounter different dangers, and it seems that there is no way to guard against it.
Regarding Long Yuehong's sigh, Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise in a sense."
Although she and the team members attached great importance to the Vegetative Rehabilitation Center of Renhui Hospital, believing that the danger there was better than that of Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, and put it at the end to explore, after reading the letter left by Lu Fuxing, she felt that she still underestimated the risks she might encounter.
Just by pushing open the wooden door and entering a room, you may go crazy, become a vegetative state, suffer from "unintentional disease", or commit impulsive suicide without warning in advance, and no abnormality can be detected!
This is extremely scary for any team.
Even if the "old tune group" has awakened people at the level of "mind corridor", intelligent robots with non-carbon-based organisms, and powerful humans who have undergone genetic modification and biological prosthetic transplants, there is a high probability that they will have to pay one or two lives to find the problem when they get there.
Of course, Jiang Baimian suspected that the abnormalities in different rooms were related to the corresponding "New World" nodes.
They are connected to the "new world" and have different natural effects.
The "Old Tune Group" has the "Six Consciousness Beads" and "Angel of Life" necklaces, two props that can sense the nodes of the "New World".
In other words, it is still possible for the "old adjustment team" to detect problems in advance and avoid those dangerous rooms, but Jiang Baimian is not very sure about this, after all, she cannot determine whether the essential problem of the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital is whether there are multiple "new world" nodes.
In that dangerous environment, once the prediction is wrong, it is not the case, and the destruction of the group is really possible.
After a short silence, Jiang Baimian, who had finished flipping through all the documents, began to summarize:
"At present, it seems that all the clues point to the Eighth Research Institute.
"Before the destruction of the Old World, they extensively collected vegetative people and conducted a very dangerous experiment, as if touching the forbidden area of the gods.
"This is likely to lead to an outbreak of 'unintentional disease' that will lead to the destruction of the Old World, and their organization has suffered some kind of impact at the same time, becoming a lackey of darkness in an attempt to erase the corresponding clues.
"Their Base 2 seems to be the origin of all problems, if Fan Wensi, Li Jinlong's son Li Hui, and Jiang Xiaoyue are transferred there."
Shang Jianyao responded with a frustrated face:
"But we don't know where the Eighth Research Institute is hidden."
After saying that, he turned his head to the side, looked at Gnava, and asked expectantly:
"Lao Ge, can't you really deduce the specific longitude and latitude coordinates of the Eighth Research Institute from the ballistic trajectory?"
"If we collected enough data, it would be possible, but it was discovered a little too late." The honest Gnawa extinguished Shang Jianyao's hopes.
Jiang Baimian said:
"Moreover, I suspect that the missile base and the headquarters of the Eighth Research Institute should not be in the same place.
"When a normal research institute is built, how can there be so many missile silos?
"It is reasonable to infer that after the destruction of the old world, the Eighth Research Institute mastered several secret missile bases and kept a large number of people in captivity to maintain them.
"Well, the protective measures of those missile bases may be stricter, and it is not ruled out that the Eighth Research Institute later moved its headquarters to a similar place.
"The direction of our next investigation is to find out where the Eighth Research Institute is, and then let the company and the 'Salvation Army' surround and strangle it.
"But before that, you need to go back to the company to rest and collect more information."
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong was the first to agree.
"What about these documents and suicide notes?" Shang Jianyao, who values feelings, asked with concern.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"I originally thought of staying for a few more days, there was a missile strike here, and the nearby 'Salvation Army' observatory should be aware of it.
"But we have that nuclear warhead in our car, and encountering the 'Salvation Army' in such a sensitive place may go wrong.
"So, go back now, find an opportunity to make a copy of all the documents, and then when you leave the 'Salvation Army' sphere of influence, give this backpack along with the documents and suicide note inside to Ding Ling."
"I think this plan is very good." Bai Chen expressed his opinion.
Shang Jianyao thought for a while, sighed and said:
"That's the only way to do it."
Jiang Baimian didn't say anything longer, and said to Bai Chen who was driving:
"Let's go back now."
As the jeep gradually moved away from Taicheng, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but turn his head sideways and look out the window.
The remnants of the old world have truly become ruins, with many buildings collapsing and only partially surviving, like tombstones erected in cemeteries.
The summer wind blows, and in the environment of the ice field, it is warm and peaceful, but not hot enough.
…………
After many days of trekking, the "ascetic" monks followed Palanga step by step to the vicinity of Taicheng.
Looking at the collapsed buildings and the scorch marks left after the burning, they were silent for a long time, motionless.
After a few minutes, Palanga let out a long sigh:
"The omen has appeared, and the catastrophe is coming."
…………
On the border between the "Salvation Army" and the "First City", on the dilapidated road in Yunshan, Jiang Baimian drove a jeep and headed beyond the mountains with the help of artificial intelligence navigator Jianyao.
"Why did you give the backpack to Ding Ling and leave?" Shang Jianyao deeply regretted not being able to stay and eat.
Jiang Baimian said "heh":
"I don't want to see others sad."
The honest Shang Jianyao said after careful consideration:
"Indeed, this is not polite enough."
Long Yuehong in the middle of the back row held Bai Chen's right hand and looked ahead:
"Then go straight to the company?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded.
Of course, they will definitely replenish supplies and electricity many times along the way, otherwise they will not be able to survive the "Pangu Creatures".
"At that time, Lao Ge, you will stay in Weeds City or the Black Swamp Wilderness and watch the nuclear bomb......" Jiang Baimian chattered.
Gnava did not object:
"No problem."
Shang Jianyao hurriedly told two words:
"You must be optimistic!
"It may come in handy in any situation.
"This time I didn't spend it on blowing up Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School and Renhui Hospital, so I can give some people a surprise in the future."
Why do you feel sorry for you? Jiang Baimian scolded.
During the chat, Long Yuehong suddenly said with ease:
"I discussed with Xiaobai last night, and when I return to the company, I will go to the Order Supervision Bureau to register, and then invite relatives and friends to dinner at home.
"Team leader, can you come?"
As for Shang Jianyao, if he has this opportunity to play and eat, he will definitely not let it go, and Long Yuehong will not refuse to invite him.
Jiang Baimian laughed while driving:
"I have to think about what gift to give you."
"No gifts." Bai Chen said.
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong echoed.
Then, he sighed again:
"It's like a dream......
Shang Jianyao sneered:
"Is this your dream?
"Find a partner, start a family, have a few children, and eat meat every day?"
"Yes." Although Long Yuehong was embarrassed, she still bravely admitted it.
Shang saw that Yao didn't embarrass him, looked back at Bai Chen and said:
"What about your dream?"
Bai Chen organized the following language and said:
"There are companions who can be entrusted with their backs, and there are partners who can face death hand in hand."
Long Yuehong held her hand and quickly tightened it.
Shang Jianyao looked at Gnava:
"Lao Ge, where is your dream?"
The red light in Gnava's eyes flashed a few times and said:
"I already have a certain understanding of what it means to be human, and the next step is to find the meaning of being a human being."
Slapping, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.
He asked Jiang Baimian again:
"What about you?"
"Me?" Jiang Baimian laughed and said, "Of course, we need to find out the cause of the destruction of the old world and the origin of the 'heartless disease', and find a way to eliminate the sharp sword hanging over the heads of humans."
Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze and said to himself:
"As for me, the dream is ......"
"No one wants to ask you!" Jiang Baimian is angry and funny.
Shang Jianyao straightened his back and said forcibly:
"Save all mankind!"
Jiang Baimian gave him a blank look, and pressed on the small speaker with a black face on a blue background that was requisitioned next to him.
The song she has been listening to in recent months has rang:
"Do you still remember the dream you had when you were young?
"Like a flower that never withers
"Accompany me through the wind and rain
"Look at the impermanence of the world
"Look at the vicissitudes of life......" (Note 1)
In the midst of the song, the jeep drove out of the cloud mountain, and there was an endless wasteland in front of it.
