Embers Ad Infinitum

Next to a gray-green jeep.

Shang Jianyao showed the "Six Senses Pearl" in his hand and asked expectantly:

"Have you noticed anything different about it?"

Although she always felt that it was inappropriate for a normal man to talk to others when holding the "Six Senses Beads", as it would be too rude, but Long Yuehong still resisted the curiosity to observe whether the state was exaggerated, and carefully looked at the rosary beads. :

"It seems that nothing has changed, at least on the outside..."

Jiang Baimian behaved obviously more naturally and generously, and after a moment of thought, he said:

"Moister?"

"No." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "It's patinated!"

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong to respond, he added:

"Also, originally I needed to deprive the target of his five senses before depriving him of consciousness. Now I can do this directly."

"So strong!" Long Yuehong blurted out.

This is no weaker than the "cardiac arrest" of the "Angel of Life" necklace, and the range of the "Six Senses Pearl" is much greater than the former - the range of the "Angel of Life" necklace is only forty meters, and the "Six Senses Pearl" is Eighty meters.

Shang Jianyao shook the "Six Senses Pearl" proudly:

"Its range is now one hundred and twenty meters."

"It's increased by 50%..." Jiang Baimian was quite envious.

She doesn't even have her own props yet.

Of course, the "Six Senses Pearl" and the "Angel of Life" necklace are essentially public property belonging to the "Old Tune Group". After all, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao played the same role when dealing with Kao, the special commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute. It was important, so Jiang Baimian also had the right to use it, but she felt that as far as the current situation was concerned, these two props were obviously more effective in Shang Jianyao's hands.

What she is currently looking forward to is that she will be able to obtain other props in the future, or that Shang Jianyao will find items more suitable for the "Broken Mirror" field while exploring the "Soul Corridor".

For some reason, Shang Jianyao suddenly sighed:

"But in this case, it seems that it can only be used three times."

Previously, through Shang Jianyao's experiments, the "Jiudiao Team" has learned how much energy is left in the "Six Senses Pearl":

It can be used five or six times - once in this case a complete cycle from "visual deprivation" to "conscious deprivation".

But now, what Shang Jianyao means is that if "consciousness deprivation" is used directly, the "Six Senses Pearl" will become ordinary no more than three times.

"It's not bad, it can save lives at critical moments." Although Jiang Baimian felt regretful, he still felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Long Yuehong asked after careful consideration:

"According to the original usage, how many times can it be used?"

Shang Jianyao's smile suddenly became bright:

"Nine times."

He immediately jumped out of the depression just now, because someone had changed.

Then, this honest Shang Jianyao took the initiative to show off:

“My abilities have also improved.

"The distance hasn't changed, but the number of people has changed from twenty to fifty."

"..." Jiang Baimian was startled for a moment, then commented, "This is in line with the characteristics of the 'Bodhi' field."

She was reminded of Di Marco.

In addition to "Fate Communication", the former owner of the "Underground Ark" also has another ability, which can divide his consciousness and possess multiple targets.

Therefore, after breaking through the psychological shadows including the Buddhist Holy Land, it is completely understandable that the number of targets affected by Shang Jianyao's ability has more than doubled.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian also believed that Shang Jianyao's harvest this time would definitely be greater than normal, much greater.

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Baimian sighed:

"The owner of room '522' was really unknowingly exerted a little influence, and this remains to this day."

"But in this case, he shouldn't be able to enter the 'soul corridor'." Long Yuehong said he couldn't understand.

Jiang Baimian took a long breath and said:

“I originally thought so too, but when I think about the characteristics of ‘Destiny Link’, I think it’s understandable.

"When you reach a certain level of 'fate communication', you should be able to let a little bit of your own aura attach to others and hide it in the psychological shadow. It will not affect the target's ability to do other things, including promotion, and it will not be triggered until the critical moment."

Thinking of Di Marco and Shang Jianyao's experience and gains this time, Long Yuehong nodded slowly.

Suddenly, he remembered something and his heart tightened:

"Could some of the aura remaining in the psychological shadow of the room owner sneak into Shang Jianyao's spiritual world?"

"Currently, it seems that they have been absorbed by the 'Six Sense Pearls' of the same kind." Jiang Baimian did not use a too sure tone.

Shang Jianyao looked as if he had no worries after having too many debts:

"I'll look back and see if there is any, I'll invite him to play games with me and Xiao Chong."

"..." Both Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong were speechless at this moment.

After more than ten seconds, Jiang Baimian turned and said:

"Next, it is necessary to return to the ruins of the steel factory to see if we can find out the whereabouts of the patient named Fan Wensi after the destruction of the old world."

Although most people at that time did not survive the destruction of the old world, since it was not clear that Fan Wensi was dead at that time, there was still hope and direction for investigation.

"'Tieshan City Second Food Company' also needs to be put on the schedule." Shang Jianyao, who spoke calmly and rationally, said, "I hope to find the missing photo and related introduction."

Jiang Baimian said "hmm" and quickly made a plan:

"When Xiaobai is almost recovered, I will arrange another field training, targeting the ruins of the steel plant.

"After that, after celebrating the New Year, we will go to the ruins of Tieshan City via Hongshiji, and then to the First City to prepare for exploring the 'Hom Reproductive Medical Center' in the ruins of Wasteland No. 13. After completing these things, If everyone's mental and physical conditions can still bear it, then consider going to the ruins of the city in the north to find the whereabouts of the previous 'old team'. Haha, I must give you the opportunity to celebrate the New Year at home no matter what this year."

…………

Plans always failed to keep up with changes. After Bai Chen recovered, Long Yuehong's application for genetic modification was approved as soon as it was submitted.

He has always been conservative and cautious, giving up several attractive point modifications and choosing the lowest overall risk plan:

"Enhanced repair ability", "improved immunity" plus "faster reaction speed".

In the words of Shang Jianyao:

"What's the difference between this and not doing it?"

And even this plan, given Long Yuehong's rank, cost him a full 30,000 contribution points.

Because the risk was very low, success was natural, but Long Yuehong still lay in the hospital bed for more than two weeks.

By the time he recovered and exercised, his physical condition was at its best, it was already January of the 48th year of the New Calendar, not many days before the Spring Festival.

Jiang Baimian had no choice but to give up the plan of outdoor training and put the goal of exploring the ruins of the steel plant directly into the next mission.

The Spring Festival is always exciting. Among them, the year-end report performance, which was inspired by old-world entertainment materials, received rave reviews. Shang Jianyao almost clapped his hands. He kept regretting that the entertainment department only asked Long Yuehong to borrow a computer and did not allow him to Go and mentor.

Considering that Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen are currently alone, Jiang Baimian specially held a group reunion at noon on New Year's Eve. During the Spring Festival, she also found time to bring Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yue with her. Hong walked around the activity centers on several of the busiest floors.

Almost lost!

During the break after the festival, both Long Yuehong and Bai Chen participated in the awakening experiment, but failed miserably. Fortunately, there were no sequelae.

…………

"Hello everyone, I am Hou Yi, the news announcer on the hour, it is 8 o'clock in the evening...

“First, let’s review the situation last week…

"Gaius, the new consul and commander-in-chief of the 'First City', ordered the dismissal of two generals, further completing the integration of several major legions...

“The ‘White Knights’ and the ‘Salvation Army’ have reached a package agreement on exchanging food for genetically modified liquid...

"..."

A slightly childish voice echoed in Room 196, Area B on the 495th floor. Shang Jianyao was lying on the bed in the darkness with a peaceful expression.

He fell asleep at some point and forgot about exploring the "soul corridor".

Early the next morning, Shang Jianyao woke up, washed his face and brushed his teeth quickly, and went to the public toilet to take a small bath.

After doing these things, he packed up his tactical backpack and stuffed all the useful items into it.

Click, Shang Jianyao put on his backpack, locked the door, put away the key, and walked to Area C.

…………

Floor 349, Area C, No. 12.

In order not to be late, Jiang Baimian decided to leave early.

She stood in front of the full-length mirror and checked her appearance.

At this time, her mother Xue Sumei appeared behind her with a dark face.

"Mom, you scared me." Although Jiang Baimian had sensed it in advance, he still expressed his protest.

"When you were quietly doing the awakening experiment, why didn't you think about whether it would scare me?" Xue Sumei didn't look good on her daughter.

Jiang Baimian laughed twice:

"It's not something dangerous."

This topic has been repeated many times. Xue Sumei didn't say much and asked quietly:

"When can you come back this time?"

Jiang Baimian replied thoughtfully:

"If it's quick, it will be before July, if it's slow, it will be by the end of the year."

It depends on whether you want to go to the city in the north this time that has become a paradise for "careless people".

Turning his wrist to check the time, Jiang Baimian pointed at the door:

"I am leaving."

She picked up her tactical backpack, walked out of the door, and turned somewhere.

"Where are we going? Wrong!" Xue Sumei called out to her.

Just as Jiang Baimian was about to regret that she left in a hurry, Xue Sumei came to her and babbled:

"I don't even know how to pull my clothes."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and helped Jiang Baimian tidy up the clothes that were actually fine.

Jiang Baimian pursed his lips and looked at it without saying anything.

…………

Floor 622, Area B, Room 59.

Bai Chen looked back at the tables and beds that had been packed, hung a tactical backpack on one shoulder, and walked out.

Clang.

She closed the door.

…………

Floor 495, Area C, No. 11.

Long Yuehong waved to her parents who were sent to the door:

"I am leaving."

Gu Hong opened her mouth and finally said:

“Be careful out there and don’t show off.

"I know that you have your own ideas now. You secretly performed genetic modification. You may not listen to us, but you still have to say what you need to say."

Her mother's words full of complaints made Long Yuehong scratch the back of his head:

"I will."

Then he made a promise:

"When my abilities can no longer keep up, I will apply for transfer. Now I have the qualifications!"

Without waiting for her parents to say anything else, and fearing what they might say, Long Yuehong waved her hand again, turned and left.

After walking some distance, he met Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao glanced at him and suddenly started running:

“Don’t be the last one!”

Deng Deng Deng, his figure disappeared from Long Yuehong's sight.

Crazy... Long Yuehong was helpless.

Finally, he caught up with Shang Jianyao in the elevator.

Not long after the two arrived at the 647th floor, they saw Bai Chen coming from the other side.

"Good morning!" Shang Jianyao greeted, already forgetting not to be the last one.

"Morning." Long Yuehong nodded.

Bai Chen responded with a smile:

"morning."

The three of them came to room 14 together, and Jiang Baimian had arrived.

Seeing that the team members had arrived, she cleared her throat and said with a smile:

"Set off!"
