The Black Hawk helicopter landed, and Lin Nian jumped out of the cabin. The weeds on the lawn were blown by the propellers and spread in ripples. He faced the strong wind and walked towards the temporary base with tents and lights in the huge open space in the distance. , steps firmly.
The instructor who also jumped out of the helicopter behind him bent down and quickly followed him, leaned behind him and shouted loudly:
"According to the characteristics of the word spirit 'Qilu', the stronger the bloodline, the more resistant the hybrid species will be, so we started with the 'C' level bloodline commissioners. After entering the area that enveloped the town, we almost sent in He lost his resistance within tens of seconds, was dragged into the spirit of words, and fell unconscious on the ground."
"I believe you must have made backup preparations."
"Yes, we tied a safety belt on the water test specialist in advance. After he lost consciousness, we recovered him as soon as possible and revived him through medical means... But the result was not satisfactory. After he left the field, he still remained He remained asleep, so we rushed him to Chicago, where medical conditions are better... An accident happened during the rescue helicopter transportation."
"Is the person dead?" Lin Nian looked back at the instructor.
"No... the man woke up, his body features were normal, and he didn't feel any discomfort. So we quickly brought him back to the temporary base. Minister Schneider was going to personally ask him about what he had seen and learned in the field... but soon It's a pity that the commissioner didn't have any memory in the field. His only reliable description was: I felt like I had a dream, but I forgot what I dreamed about, but I actually knew that I had a dream. A dream.”
"Dream?"
"Yes... This is very consistent with the characteristics of the word spirit 'Qilu'. The word spirit 'Qilu' drags the user into a dream and then kills the other party. So we have reason to suspect that this giant realm has something to do with the dangerous hybrid. kind of related."
The instructor followed Lin Nian into the temporary base. Military tents stood in an orderly manner in the open space beside the road on the outskirts of the small town of Carmel. All kinds of cutting-edge scientific research equipment can be seen everywhere here, and small radar-like metal plates are pointed at the far direction of the temporary base and are spinning.
People holding electromagnetic radiation detectors trotted past from time to time. Cables as thick as a baby's arm were criss-crossed on the ground. Many researchers in white coats sat on the ground, holding laptops filled with formulas. The faces full of dark circles illuminated by the cold light were thoughtful, and the Coke they always held in their hands also revealed their actual identities.
"...Has the equipment department not given up setting up and thinking about the rescue plan?" Lin Nian glanced at these people. Under the cover of the night, not many people noticed his arrival. He also slightly pulled his collar to cover his side. Face.
"They are trying to further crack the electromagnetic field in the field. If there is a breakthrough, they are going to apply to the school board to transfer the military EMP that is still being tested in the US OAC laboratory. Theoretically, if this Yanling Most of the field is composed of electromagnetic fields, so they can rely on equipment to create a high-frequency electromagnetic pulse to offset the field. In this way, they may be able to physically destroy the entire framework of the field that covers the town. When the frame is upside down, the spirit will naturally be released... It's like throwing a rockery into a pool that already has ripples, and directly knocking the table off."
"There is a high probability that this plan will not be approved. Sometimes the consequences of the collapse of the speech spirit are not relief, but another form of destruction... such as the famous Laiying and Zhulong." Lin Nian was not impressed by the ideas of this group of lunatics. They are interested, but they have to express their opinions casually, lest they really commit suicide... After all, these crazy people have both ideas and actions. People still want to tinker with Gundam and Zaku.
"Where are those 'A' students who are freshmen and sophomores? Why didn't I see them?" Lin Nian had walked halfway through the temporary military base and stood in the middle of countless tents. He turned his head and glanced around, and all he could see was Looking at the commissioners and some scientific researchers wearing windbreakers from the Executive Department, "You're not so crazy that you really want them to rush into the field suicidal, are you?"
"Of course not. Although the execution department pursues efficiency and decisiveness, it is never reckless or unintelligent."
"Is it true that your conscience doesn't hurt when you say this?" Lin Nian complained expressionlessly...but he just complained for the sake of complaining because of his mood.
The style of the executive department has always been rough and direct, but it has never caused any big trouble. Under the rough and direct surface, all actions of the execution department are controllable. Behind the seemingly chaotic situation, there is always a group of top personnel who are behind the scenes, ready to come up with backup plans A, B, C, and D at any time. Manage the situation.
But now Lin Nian doesn't see the group of freshmen and sophomore students, it can only mean that they have found their place here, and Schneider has made appropriate arrangements for this group of people.
"Before I inform you about the current situation of the 'A'-level students, I have to continue to explain to you the follow-up development after the first test of water ended in failure." The instructor led Lin Nian and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked, "You still remember what I said about the 'C' Class Commissioner waking up after we took him far away from the field, right?"
"Minister Schneider put forward an idea about the phenomenon that happened to the 'C' level commissioner who tested the waters... He believed that the area that enveloped the town was actually larger than we thought, like a strong magnetic field, with no absolute Within a fixed range, iron products placed within the 'red line' of a strong magnetic field will automatically fly over, but those outside the red line will definitely not be affected by the strong magnetic field?"
"It will still be affected, but the impact won't be that big." Lin Nian answered decisively.
"Yes...so this is why the 'C' level commissioner was still unable to escape the control of Yanling after entering the domain, because even though he left the red line at that time, he would still be under close attack in the area of the temporary base. Being affected in a very close area, the 'C'-level commissioner is like entering a spider web. We pulled him out, but there are still invisible filaments stuck to his body!"
"It's a very vivid metaphor." Lin Nian nodded and said he understood, "Did you get any inspiration from it?"
"After the 'C' level specialist entered the field and successfully escaped, we successively sent out the 'B' level specialist and the 'A' level specialist for testing. The 'B' level specialist persisted in the field for twenty-five seconds, and the 'A' level specialist They persisted for two minutes. After they were unconscious, we took them out of the field as usual. The 'B' level specialist woke up 1,500 meters away from the field, and the 'A' level specialist was in the base. ..It woke up five hundred meters away.”
"They woke up and claimed they couldn't remember what happened?"
"There is one exception."
"The commissioner with 'A' grade blood?"
"Yes... Didn't I say before that the 'C'-level commissioner claimed that he had a strange dream after waking up? That was not lies and sleep talking... This matter is not known to the 'A'-level commissioner. The body is more prominent!"
"He claimed that he entered another Carmel town within a short period of time after entering the field, where he had a new identity and a new life. It was like entering a movie and role-playing. ..But when he was trapped in the domain, he didn’t realize anything was wrong. It wasn’t until we took him out of the domain and woke him up that he slowly remembered these details.”
"Movie...? Role play?" Lin Nian frowned, glanced at the shadow of the dark town in the distance outside the military base and the late night sky and said, "You mean, those people who fell into coma? ...Activities in another town that doesn't exist? A... town in a dream?"
"Specifically, it was a small town in Carmel in 1984. This is a fragment left in the memory of the 'A' class commissioner. In that town, everything was full of the atmosphere of the 1980s, including public drinking fountains. It’s all over the place, aerobics, bomber jackets, Elvis vinyl records…it’s all a vintage feel.”
"Why 1984?" Lin Nian didn't quite understand.
"Many people are also thinking about this question... The only answer now is that 1984 is a very special era, an era that is very popular among playwrights. Many movies and movies like to use the special time of 1984. In that era Many major events happened in the United States in the past year, such as the first space walk, the birth of Apple Macintosh, and the Bhopal gas leak tragedy in India that shocked the world... But I prefer another answer, that is a horror movie enthusiast in the equipment department He said that the special period of 1984 was also the period with the most serial murders..." the instructor said quietly.
Lin Nian couldn't help but sneered, as if he heard something interesting, "Anyway, something bad is probably happening in that fake town."
"No one can say for sure, because at that time we couldn't understand the specific situation inside at all, we only knew a general environment."
Lin Nian and the instructor have now reached the end of the temporary military base. The road between the military tents has gradually opened up. There are not many idle people and cable equipment. There is a small red house not far away that is particularly eye-catching. Even Lin Nian subconsciously took another look, but was immediately attracted by the instructor's next words.
"Any mixed race will get lost when it enters the domain, but the stronger the bloodline, the stronger the resistance. In view of this nature, someone in the Executive Department came up with an idea - if we can access the domain from outside the domain, can we? Enter the field while staying relatively awake and connect to the fake town." The instructor said, "We have reason to believe that the consciousness of all people affected by the field are still living in the small town of Carmel in 1984. Author...including its originator."
"Killing the initiator of the domain can directly stop the entire Yanling." Lin Nian said.
"That's it...but we have to find a way to find him inside first." The instructor stood still, and Lin Nian stopped beside him. They had left the military base and stood on the edge of the road.
Not far in front of the two people is a crossroads. The farthest road extends to the dark town of Carmel. Both areas are deserted suburbs. Looking along the road, you can see the town in the distance. The outlines of the buildings are spectacular and simple, with a sense of age but still retain the elegance of the prosperous period.
"Did you see that warning line?" The instructor pointed to the road leading to the town at the crossroads in the distance, where a dazzling yellow and black line was blocked. "Five meters beyond that is the 'red line' Once you step inside, you will be lost and be transported back to 1984."
"One more question, you mentioned the possibility of being able to access the domain from outside the domain, so you really didn't throw those 'A' grade guys into the red line, right?"
"Yes...and no."
Lin Nian raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the instructor, who continued, "In a sense, the latest round of rescue started as early as yesterday, and the rescuers were the eighteen students. They are now looking for the real murderer who created this area in that dream town.”
"Where are they?" Lin Nian asked.
"There." The instructor turned around and pointed to the red house in the distance, "They are all there."
