After "Operation Eye of the Storm" ended, Li Jianfeng organized two batches of rescue operations to search for traces of Zhou Yun within 50 nautical miles of the alien irregularity, but all failed.
Unwilling to be reconciled, he organized another search and rescue operation. Based on the coordinates of Zhou Yun's parachute jump, they pushed the search area to within 20 nautical miles of the alien irregularity. Unfortunately, not only did they not find any trace of her, Instead, one rescuer died.
The search and rescue operation was suspended.
In a dark and airtight room, after an unknown amount of time, the dizzy Zhou Yun woke up. She dragged her tired body up with difficulty from the cold ground.
She rubbed her swollen forehead and opened her sleepy eyes. Wherever she looked, it was dark, quiet and empty.
This is a closed space of about 200 square meters with no windows or doors. It is surrounded by metal walls made of honeycomb hexagons. The wall is completely black and extremely smooth. Its honeycomb structure is densely connected and connected. , its six sides glow with a blue glow, looking gorgeous and charming in the dark.
Zhou Yun pulled out a dagger from her calf and scratched the wall several times. The unusually smooth and hard wall did not make any knife marks. She withdrew her body and stabbed the wall with all her strength.
With a "bang" sound, the dagger was broken into a big gap. Because the wall was too slippery, her hand hit the wall heavily. The honeycomb-shaped hexagonal groove made a 3 cm gap on her palm. There was a long bloody mouth, and bright red blood flowed along the groove.
She put away the dagger, stood up and looked around...
Suddenly, a rectangular glow appeared in her field of vision. Judging from the pattern formed by the glow, she judged that it should be a door.
Indeed, it was about the size of a door.
She walked into it slowly. Although its surface was also black and inlaid with bee-shaped hexagons shining with a blue glow, there was a gap of about 3 centimeters between it and the surrounding walls.
Zhou Yun put one eye on the surface and looked inside through the gap. Vaguely, she found that there was a large space inside, similar in size to where she was, and the shape and structure of the walls were exactly the same.
The only difference is that there is an instrument shining with fluorescent green light in the corner inside. On the instrument is a constantly changing track coordinate map.
Zhou Yun pulled out the dagger and inserted it into the gap. She used all her strength to pry it up. Suddenly, an arc of light flashed at the front of the dagger. Wherever the arc passed, the hot flames melted the dagger bit by bit...
As the arc extended toward the back end of the dagger, a burst of burning heat hit her hand. She quickly let go, and the moment she let go, the dagger was completely melted.
She turned around and stared blankly and helplessly into the silent space...
Vaguely, she seemed to hear a melodious melody, like the sound of some hard object hitting a metal wall. She got up and walked slowly towards the sound of the melody...
The melody gradually became clearer, and she heard it clearly. This melody was from "Butterfly Lovers", and it was her favorite song. She once played this beautiful and poignant song at her middle school graduation ceremony.
Although the melody is struck by a hard metal object, it is still tactful and intoxicating.
The person who struck the melody must be very musically talented, she thought to herself.
At this time, a 1 square meter square opening on the ground blocked her way. The square opening seemed to lead downwards. It was bottomless, like an endless abyss. A beam of bright light shot up from a point in the abyss, pale and dazzling. .
Based on her feeling, Zhou Yun felt that this square entrance should be similar to the entrance of a staircase. She bent down and looked, and she found a step in the bright light. The strange thing was that the step was suspended in the light, and there was only one step.
She held her breath, stretched out one foot and stepped on it carefully until the center of gravity was gradually transferred to this foot. At this moment, another step appeared in the light. She followed the same pattern and stepped on it with the other foot. Go up.
Now, she had completely stepped on the two suspended steps, but it seemed to be stable and there was no problem.
She mustered up the courage to reach down with her other foot, and another step appeared below. Just like that, she walked down step by step...
After walking down the steps, what appeared in front of Zhou Yun was a space that was exactly the same as the one above, with the same tone, the same pattern, and even the same area.
In the darkness, "Butterfly Lovers" was still playing, melodious and melodious... Vaguely, she saw a black figure knocking on the metal wall.
"Who? Who's there?" Zhou Yun shouted vigilantly.
The black shadow stopped knocking, stood up and walked towards her. As the black shadow appeared in a dim light, Zhou Yun was shocked. The person who appeared in front of her turned out to be another one of herself!
A self that is exactly the same as myself!
The same face, the same clothes, even the wound on the cheekbone, they are exactly the same, no different!
The two of them looked at each other with surprise and vigilance, their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open...
About a minute later, Zhou Yun came to her senses. She felt that the "self" opposite her was illusory and that she might be in a dream. She pinched her face hard, but she felt pain, a heartbreaking pain.
This is not a dream, this is reality! she thought to herself.
"Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?" Zhou Yun said in shock.
"Then who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?" asked the "self" on the other side.
"My name is Zhou Yun, bomber pilot, air force major."
"My name is Zhou Yun. I used to fly transport aircraft and now I fly strategic bombers. I have the rank of major."
"You lied!" Zhou Yun roared and pulled out the pistol from her waist, pointing the gun at "that self".
"You're the one who lied! You fake!" "That self" was also angry. She pulled out a dagger from her calf and placed it across her chest, her eyes burning like fire.
Zhou Yun's expression was serious. Suddenly, she was shocked again. She stared at the dagger in the hand of "that self" and saw a big gap in the dagger.
This gap is exactly the same as the gap on his disappeared dagger. No matter the size or the location of its appearance, it is the same one!
"Where did you get your dagger?" Zhou Yun asked in surprise.
"This is my own dagger! It has my name engraved on it!"
"That self" said, turning the handle of the dagger over, and saw a gold-plated word "Yun" on the handle!
Zhou Yun was stunned. Shock and fear are not an exaggeration to describe it, because the word "Yun" on the handle of the knife was specially carved by his father.
"That self" had a hostile face and fierce eyes. She pointed to the character "Yun" on the handle of the knife and said, "This character is my name. My father specially asked someone to carve it on it."
Zhou Yun's face turned pale, and inadvertently, her whole body began to tremble, and the hand holding the gun also began to tremble...
"Did you make a mistake? You fake!"
"I'm not a fake, I'm not..." Zhou Yun looked horrified, shook her head constantly, and murmured.
Suddenly, a 1-square-meter square opening appeared on the right side of "that self". A bright light shot out from the square opening, and a suspended step appeared in the light.
"I don't want to argue with you faker anymore, I want to escape!"
"That self" said, turning around and walking towards the square mouth. The square mouth gave off a pale light, bottomless.
She stretched out one foot and carefully stepped on the steps. She held her breath and slowly stepped on the other foot. After she put her feet together, she let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, another step protruded from the bottom of the steps, and she walked down step by step until her entire body completely disappeared in the light.
Zhou Yun stepped forward and rushed towards Fangkou. The strange thing was that every time "that self" went down a step, one step disappeared from the top...
Zhou Yun was too late, she looked into the abyss, and "that self" slowly became smaller from her field of vision...
Three minutes later, a metal plate closed the square opening, the light disappeared, and the space fell into darkness and emptiness again. This feeling of darkness and emptiness was exactly the same as what she felt above.
She began to look for the exit aimlessly. Suddenly, she found a rectangular glow in front of her. It was the same as the glow she had seen on the floor above. It seemed to be a door, and its surroundings were about the same size as the walls. 3cm wide gap.
As if she saw hope, she took out the gun and pried it up hard. Something surprising happened again. After an arc of light flashed, the gun was slowly swallowed up by a stream of fiery flames.
The pistol disappeared.
Zhou Yun's long-suppressed anger finally broke out at this moment. She yelled crazily and hysterically, angrily kicked the shining "door" with her feet, and violently and fiercely used her fists to Smashing the metal wall...
The rage that lasted for more than ten minutes had no effect at all, but made her exhausted. She was sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and leaned helplessly against the metal wall.
She was hesitant, frightened, and lonely, and slowly slid down from the wall. She squatted on the ground, staring straight ahead, her eyes dull...
Suddenly, she seemed to feel something next to her. She turned her head and found a dagger appearing next to her face. Under the dim light, it exuded an astonishing cold light. What shocked her was that the blade of the dagger actually had something... There was also a gap.
This gap was exactly the same as the one that cracked when she first pried open the "door".
Zhou Yun was on the verge of collapse. She smiled stupidly and touched the dagger. She heard a "clang" and the dagger fell to the ground.
Suddenly, her eyes froze, and she saw the word "Yun" clearly engraved on the handle of the dagger.
She looked helplessly at the gap. The scene in the gap was exactly the same as what she saw on the floor above: there was an instrument shining with fluorescent green light in the corner inside, and above the instrument was a constantly changing aerospace system. trace coordinate diagram.
Zhou Yun looked away, with a painful and helpless look on her face. She lay down on the cold ground and laughed, her laughter desolate and sad...
She was tired, lonely and cold, helpless and frightened. She picked up the dagger in her hand and started knocking on the metal wall randomly. Unconsciously, her knocking sound turned into the sweet "Butterfly Lovers".
The melodious melody echoed in the empty space, graceful and beautiful...
There was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from far away, and in the 1 square meter square mouth, a dark figure slowly walked down towards Zhou Yun from the light on the upper floor...
Zhou Yun raised her head, blinked her tired eyes hard, and her vision gradually became clearer.
Her expression froze instantly, and another self appeared opposite her.
The difference this time is that the other person opposite has a gun in his hand, but she has a dagger in her hand.
Zhou Yun instinctively placed the dagger across her chest with a fierce gaze.
"Hey, don't be nervous! You are the 1001st person I have seen. I have become accustomed to it. I will not hurt you." The other self stretched out his hand to comfort you.
Zhou Yun was unmoved, her eyes were cold, her pupils were slightly focused, and she raised the dagger high.
"Wow!" The other person raised his gun and pointed it at Zhou Yun.
