Jiang Baimian did not end the rest immediately, but patiently waited until the preset half hour was over before turning his body to Du Heng and saying:
"Mr. Du Heng, I think it's almost time, we can move on."
Du Heng closed the "Three Profound Notes" in his hand and said with a smile:
"It's very punctual.
"Actually, there's no need to hurry. I'm used to being lazy, and I'm not the kind of person who has a quick temper."
A smile appeared on Jiang Baimian's face, which was blocked by the mask, and said sincerely:
"Shang Jianyao has already gained some gains in the dream, which gives me a little confidence in the future exploration."
As for what the harvest is, it is naturally inconvenient to say.
And because it is inconvenient to talk about, it is reasonable for her and Shang Jianyao to use the communication system of the exoskeleton device to communicate privately, so there is no need to hide it.
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao echoed proudly.
Du Heng dropped the book, stood up, smiled and said:
"Let's go then."
He then turned his attention to the tightly closed silver-white front door.
Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, who were wearing military exoskeleton devices, walked over, stretched out their hands, and held the door on one side.
Amidst the heavy zaza and the interspersed harsh noises, the silver-white door opened backwards.
At this time, Shang Jianyao "amazed" and said:
"It turns out that this is the password door!"
A door that requires a password to let it open by itself.
"Do you think I don't know?" Jiang Baimian replied angrily.
Lao Ge is not here, relying only on the auxiliary chip in her "electric eel" type biological prosthesis and Shang Jianyao, an undergraduate-level "electronic expert", it is difficult to break through the system of the Eighth Research Institute in a short period of time.
In this case, it is better to try to force it to open first.
What Jiang Baimian thought was that if he couldn't push it, he would use "laser transmitters", "electromagnetic weapons", etc. to destroy the gate directly after confirming that there were no traps. Who knows, the power of military exoskeleton devices and biological prosthetics is indeed true. Extraordinary.
On this matter, Jiang Baimian did not discuss with Shang Jianyao, because she could think with her toes that this guy would say, "Why don't you just use the nuclear bomb, this thing will open the door and leave no trouble."
Shang Jianyao had forgotten about the door and turned his attention to the front.
It was a corridor large enough for two large trucks to run side by side. The ground was made of concrete and laid with two metal guide rails. Under the light of the ceiling lights, they flashed icy colors.
Apart from these, there is nothing in the corridor, and it is as quiet as if no human has come in for decades.
The heavy and depressed feeling in Jiang Baimian's heart became stronger and stronger, as if the source of the storm was ahead.
"It's a little dark." Shang Jianyao said with emotion.
Du Heng laughed:
"The problem of the electromagnetic environment."
He took a step forward, crossed Jiang Shang and entered the tunnel.
The sound of da da da's footsteps reverberated far away, further accentuating the deadly silence here.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao followed closely and walked towards the end of the corridor.
"It's okay, it's a little windy." Shang Jianyao seriously evaluated the working environment.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"Looks like there is a way out."
On the way, they saw abandoned rail wagons, several robots standing quietly on the edge, and a few metal parts scattered on the ground.
"It seems that robots are used to maintain automation here." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully, "But with the transfer of the Eighth Research Institute, most of the robots in good condition were taken away, and the work here was Stalled, um, don't know what they're carrying deep..."
It can be seen that the remaining robots are in the maintenance stage.
"Hey, there is no one." Shang Jianyao said disappointedly, "I walked all the way here, and it turned out to be like this. It's too unreal, too fake, just like what I imagined!"
"It's not an illusion." Du Heng responded affirmatively.
"Then what do you want?" Jiang Baimian asked casually.
Shang Jianyao said in a longing tone:
"Starting from near the entrance, fighting with the people of the Eighth Research Institute one by one, from weak to strong, and finally coming here."
"This is an illusion." Jiang Baimian sneered, "Faced with an intruder like you, the strongest must join forces to kill."
Du Heng also smiled and said:
"It would be best if there was no conflict.
"What we're after is a soldier who will be defeated without a fight."
When they spoke, their voices echoed far away.
In this way, they traveled for more than half an hour in this tunnel with only tracks, special trucks, robots, parts and oil stains.
Finally, the end of the tunnel appeared in their eyes.
There was an equally heavy iron black folio door.
Jiang Baimian felt that behind the door was the source of the storm, which was the direct cause of the heavy, depressing, and darkened area.
At this moment, Du Heng said in a slightly painful tone:
"I remember, that thing was behind the door..."
"Do you want to open it now?" Shang Jianyao was eager to try.
"You decide." Du Heng returned to normal and said with a smile, "If you don't dare, then you can go back to the place where you rested before, and I will drive it myself."
Jiang Baimian didn't respond immediately, and switched to the communication system of the exoskeleton device and said to Shang Jianyao:
"In your sense, what's behind the door?"
"I don't know." Shang Jianyao replied succinctly.
"Describe the feeling." Jiang Baimian asked.
Shang Jian Yao began to organize the language:
"How do you say it? It's similar to how you feel every time you raise your left hand at me and let the electric light flicker.
"Well, it seems that there is a sea outside. We went directly to the bottom of the sea, and we can see the Crystal Palace as soon as we go out."
Jiang Baimian was almost not described as happy by the previous description, but the following words gave her an intuitive understanding:
The water pressure on the seabed is very strong.
"Anything else out of the ordinary?" she asked again.
"No." Shang Jianyao was very sure.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"Hurry up and go to the '205' room to check if the door to the 'New World' in your dream can be opened, um, don't go in, the main thing is to confirm, otherwise there will be changes and you need to enter the 'New World' urgently When you come to fight the danger, and you find that the door can't be opened by ordinary methods, that's a big joke."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao agreed without hesitation.
He turned to Du Heng and said:
"Mr. Du Heng, I'll do some preparations before opening the door."
"Yeah." Du Heng nodded.
Shang Jianyao leaned on the military exoskeleton device and fell into a deep sleep just standing there.
…
"Pangaeon", at the entrance of the underground building.
Bai Chen and Long Yue's red-opened jeep arrived at the inspection area.
Because the season is suitable, the road conditions are good, and they are not afraid of common dangers, they entered the "fast lane" shortly after going south from Gustburg, and returned to the company in just half a month.
Looking at the metal gate in front, Long Yuehong sighed heavily:
"It's back again."
"Yeah." Bai Chen pursed his lips.
…
"Soul Corridor", in room "205".
As soon as Shang Jian Yaofu entered, he stood in front of the dark gate where reality and illusion coexist.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his hands and pushed forward vigorously.
Rays of light shone into the dim corridor, and Shang Jianyao's eyes reflected a tower that pierced into the sky.
Surrounding the tower are various buildings lit up one by one, forming a small city.
Shang Jianyao felt the call of the tower and felt some kind of fatal attraction.
He forcibly took a few steps back, turned and left the "205" room, without entering that "new world".
…
After returning to reality, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and nodded to Jiang Baimian, meaning that it was confirmed that the door to the "new world" could be opened.
Jiang Baimian sighed and calmed down:
"Open the door."
While speaking, she herself stretched out her palms covered with metal bones.
Shang Jian Yao took the same posture.
The two began to exert force, and the heavy iron-black door made a slight noise.
As the door gap got wider and wider, soft natural light flooded into the dead corridor.
Then, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian saw a tall tower.
It is located in the middle of the valley, surrounded by various buildings and the roads that connect them.
These make up a small city.
After a short silence, Shang Jianyao made a voice:
"'New World'..."
Jiang Baimian's heart moved when he heard the words, and suddenly turned his head to the side.
The next second, she saw Du Heng wearing a black robe shattered a little like a dream bubble and disappeared.
Just when Jiang Baimian's pupils were dilated and he was hallucinated, figures came out from different places in the city in the valley outside. , all of them are like living dead.
Woo!
The wind blew into the valley, playing harsh instruments.
(End of Part 7)
Part 7 Summary and Leave of Absence
This film was originally expected to have 167 chapters, but as I wrote it, I found that when the puzzles are getting closer to the truth, and the story is getting closer to the main line, I want to expand branches and write in different places. If you want to slow down again, it doesn't seem that there is so much tension in the story.
Therefore, I adjusted the structure of the story, condensed the part of Sui Sucheng and the part of going to another place to find the crazy elder Qin Ke, and removed the details of the context, and removed the kind of travelogue-style exploration content. In the same way, Shang Jianyao's exploration of the soul room and the exploration of the "205" dream have also been reduced to a certain extent.
After presenting these in a more obvious and grandiose coincidence, I found that it is actually more in line with the theme of this volume "Fantasy", "Fantasy" comes from Berlioz's "Symphony of Fantasy", I took the last movement The imagery of "Monster Night Banquet" shows a frenzy, weirdness and absurdity.
In addition, the second layer of "fantasy" means that everyone's expectation and yearning for the new world on the ashes is just a fantasy in the end.
In the frontispiece, some people have fallen, some have gone mad, and some have gone with the wind, referring to all kinds of characters who died, went mad, gave up, and helped the tyrants in the process of pursuing the new world.
The writing problem of this part is the one mentioned at the beginning. When the story is already fast and the end can be seen, I want to force it to slow down, forcefully write travel-style content, and add a few more links to solve the problem to improve The sensory difficulty is out of date, but after adjustment, it still has a certain effect.
More writing summaries are not easy to say at present, and when the eighth part is finished, the whole book may be better as a whole.
Well, the name of the eighth part should be guessed by everyone, it is:
"To the New World"
According to the old rules, three and a half days off, today, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning, that is, the update resumes at 7:00 pm on Thursday, and then we enter the last story of the long night.
Thank you all for your continued support and companionship.
Volume 8 To the New World
