Chapter 902 Night Exploration
Relying on the auxiliary chip of the biological prosthesis and the system of the military exoskeleton device, and relying on the strategy of slowing down and thinking about it, Jiang Baimian only got lost once and successfully brought Shang Jianyao and the nuclear warhead to the end of the tunnel.
The heavy iron-black door was still tightly closed, and those "heartless" seemed to have never tried to chase in.
"They obviously found me and showed a desire to hunt......" Jiang Baimian looked at the door and muttered to himself silently with a slight confusion.
She suspected that those "mindless people" were somehow constrained and could only move within a limited range.
After thinking about it, Jiang Baimian placed Shang Jianyao and the crate containing the nuclear warhead in the tunnel, against the side wall.
Immediately afterwards, she half-squatted in front of Shang Jianyao, extending her spirit and touching the other party's consciousness.
The familiar darkness in front of his eyes came again, and the glimmer of light in the distance gradually condensed into a street lamp.
"Long time no see!" Shang Jianyao waved his hand.
It's less than two hours! Jiang Baimian always suspected that the other party was mocking him for being a road idiot.
She had only contacted Shang Jianyao before taking a nap, and after waking up, she immediately moved her body, put on her equipment, and brought the corresponding things into the Eighth Research Institute.
Considering that this contact method is extremely mentally consuming now, she did not waste time arguing about this issue, and said bluntly:
"I am now going to explore the 'new world' in reality, and you provide me with protection.
"Well, my primary goal this time is to see how far away from your body that the protection will lose its due effect."
She was very careful in her wording, and did not say "completely lose the effect", because when the distance is widened to a certain limit, the spiritual shield provided by Shang Jianyao may no longer be able to resist the extraction of human consciousness by the real "new world" as the effect gradually decreases.
At this time, the spiritual shield actually still existed, but it was only penetrated.
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao has always had an experimental spirit and said with great interest, "Wait a moment."
Because it was Jiang Baimian who took the initiative to contact his consciousness with his spirit, it was equivalent to establishing a connection, so Shang Jianyao did not need to waste time on sensing, searching, and locking targets, but only wholeheartedly used this connection to let the power penetrate the barrier and attach to Jiang Baimian's body.
There was not much delay, that is, a few seconds.
At the beginning, when Shang Jianyao extended his spirit and came into contact with Yan Hu's seemingly sleeping consciousness, he had the feeling of being dragged into the deep black water by the other party.
Now that I think about it, Yan Hu wanted help on the one hand, and was hungry on the other, so he finally made a contradictory behavior of instinctively extracting the consciousness of the connector while shouting "save me".
Fortunately, there was a certain delay, and Jiang Baimian saw the opportunity quickly and disconnected the two with electric shock in time, so as not to cause a tragedy.
Soon, Shang Jianyao told Jiang Baimian that he had provided her with the consciousness shield she needed.
In this way, even if Jiang Baimian retracts the spirit that has extended the past, the connection between the two will still exist until the effect of the shield completely disappears.
Jiang Baimian did not hesitate, gathered his human consciousness, stretched out his palms covering the metal bones, and used the most appropriate force to make the heavy iron-black door open backwards almost silently.
What caught her eye was a flashing light.
In that small city that is very similar to the "New World" and can even make those who set foot into "mindless people", there are a few lights that shine brightly in the dark night.
Their absolute number was not large, no more than twenty, and they were distributed in the tower and around it, which was completely incomparable to the dense stars in the night sky.
But on such a silent and dark night, in such a strange place where there were no real human activities, these dozen or so yellowish or pure white lights still made Jiang Baimian feel a tingling sensation in his scalp.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind:
"The Eighth Research Institute has obviously been relocated, but it has not cut off the power to the abandoned headquarters, probably because the small city at the end of the tunnel still needs electricity to keep certain things running......"
At first, she thought that the Eighth Research Institute was using a nuclear power plant, and shutting down the reactor would be a troublesome thing, so she didn't have time to do it during the hasty transfer.
Now it seems that there may be a better explanation.
Huh, Jiang Baimian exhaled softly and walked out of the tunnel.
This time, she no longer had the feeling of dizziness, throbbing in her head, and her soul about to leave her body.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while, turned his body, and slowly closed the heavy iron-black door.
She was worried that when the door was open, the group of "mindless people" might get rid of the "constraints" and enter the tunnel.
Although this is unlikely to cause damage to Shang Jianyao's body, if they carry the nuclear warhead away, then Jiang Baimian will lose his biggest trump card.
And this time she was infiltrating night reconnaissance, and it was obviously not suitable to carry a nuclear warhead, which would significantly affect the operation.
Anyway, she is wearing a military exoskeleton device and an infinitely powerful biological prosthesis, so she can open the door with a bump and push when the time comes, and she will not delay the opportunity to escape.
More than this, she was more worried about wasting precious time on the lost path.
Jiang Baimian, who hid his human consciousness, quietly approached the real "new world" along the weeds that could be seen everywhere in the valley.
The temperature here is a little higher than outside, and it has arrived in the summer of the ice field, and various creatures are clearly active.
Relying on the night vision function of the electrical signal sensing and exoskeleton device, Jiang Baimian did not alarm these "little guys" and quietly arrived at the edge of the city, hiding next to an apartment that had been abandoned for a long time.
Almost at the same time, she noticed that there was a certain distortion in the bioelectrical signals of the stars.
The visual "instrument panel" of the "M-45" military exoskeleton device also told her that the electromagnetic environment here is different from the outside world.
"Sure enough...... Jiang Baimian was not surprised by this at all.
According to the predetermined plan, she walked through the dark alley blocked by starlight, getting closer to the tower and the dozen or so lights lit around it little by little.
——If she can see the destination directly, her "road idiot" will be much better.
Seeing that the target was in sight, Jiang Baimian suddenly frowned.
She sensed too little "mindless" consciousness along the way, almost only one-tenth of what she saw during the day.
At this time, she had almost crossed half the city.
"It's impossible for the remaining nine-tenths to live on the other side, right? Or can they all hide their consciousness and shrink to those places where there are lights? But why don't you go over this tithe?" Jiang Baimian paused his progress and fell into deep thought.
Unable to guess for a while, she walked forward for a while.
When the nearest light was less than thirty meters away from her, her head throbbed, as if a needle had been pierced by a certain nerve.
This familiar feeling made Jiang Baimian stop immediately.
This is a precursor to "heartlessness"!
However, as she stopped moving forward, the throbbing pain in her head remained at the same level just now and did not deepen.
"At this point, the consciousness shield provided by the feeder gradually couldn't resist the absorption of consciousness, and corresponding signs began to appear......" Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
Her current location was only one hundred and sixty or seventy meters away from that tower.
This made Jiang Baimian a little regretful and disappointed.
It would be nice if Shang Jianyao's consciousness shield was a little stronger.
But how to improve after entering the "new world", Shang Jianyao didn't know, and she didn't know even more, if she wanted to break through the last hundred meters, she could only find another way.
Jiang Baimian took seven or eight steps back, got rid of the throbbing pain in his head, and quickly had an idea:
"Two ways:
"One is to move the fed body in and shorten the distance between me and it, but now I am not sure if the effect of his consciousness shield has decreased, or the closer I get to the tower, the stronger the extraction of human consciousness;
"Second, it seems that the higher the level of the awakened person, the stronger the resistance to consciousness extraction, if I can enter the 'Mind Corridor' and add the shield provided by me, I should be able to reach that tower......"
She is still navigating the Sea of Origins, looking for the next island, which is likely to have a golden elevator and another "her".
Jiang Baimian, who could no longer go deeper, changed his goal and prepared to confirm the situation of those "unintentional" people he could sense one by one.
…………
In the "New World".
Shang Jianyao maintained Jiang Baimian's spiritual shield while looking at the gray courtyard on the side of the road.
The courtyard was pitch black, and there were no lights representing humans, but Shang Jianyao heard a slight movement before.
Well, two hours ago.
Shang Jianyao has maintained this posture for two hours!
"This is called caution!" The honest business began to praise himself.
After two hours of "listening", he found that there was indeed some movement coming from time to time in the courtyard, sometimes as if someone was walking, sometimes as if there was a rumor passing through the hall, and sometimes it seemed like a group of men and women were laughing and laughing in their voices.
The calm and rational Shang Jianyao glanced left and right and said:
"There was no light......
"The situation in the 'New World' may be more complex and have more secrets than the previous lady shared with Jacob and Hendrick......"
"Go in and take a look, won't you know what's going on?" The reckless Shang Jianyao took advantage of his colleagues' inattention, manipulated his body, took two steps, stretched out his hand, climbed over the wall, and entered the yard.
Among all the merchants, his strength seemed to be getting higher and higher.
As Shang Jianyao entered, the lamp representing him lit up in the courtyard.
