When I returned to the shelter, the visual interface showed 5 o'clock in the morning. The sun had not yet come out, but I could already feel the light from the edge of the horizon.
After Yang Ming stopped the car and recovered it, he took Lecia and Ai Xueer into the villa and moved towards the basement.
The urban zombie crisis has come to an end, and Theia will continue to use drones to search until the battery is exhausted.
If no clues were discovered and there was no useful information in this city, he would have planned to leave directly.
The group of people will rest for about half a day, get ready in the afternoon, and then drive to other cities in the evening.
Although it seems very urgent to do so, it is indeed necessary to hurry up and complete the ultimate task of finding the emperor's location.
After entering the basement, Yang Ming felt very relaxed. The matter was finally over. Lesia and Ai Xueer were also in good condition, which was gratifying.
But when everyone entered the bedroom, Yang Ming's sensitivity, honed over time in the battlefield, immediately felt that something was wrong.
A certain ominous atmosphere permeated the bedroom, and Lecia and Ai Xueer around them noticed it and picked up their weapons.
What's going on? This uneasy atmosphere obviously comes from the cubicle. What happened to Carters?
[Yang Ming: Theia?!]
[Theia: I'm investigating. There is some kind of barrier in the compartment that can prevent information from entering. It's not good.]
Suddenly, Carters ran into trouble in his room.
Since this is a basement, it is not easy to enter through other ways. You need to destroy the walls or the top building.
There was only the partition door, which was the only entrance. The group of people moved slowly to the door. Yang Ming motioned to the two people around him to be on guard outside the door, and he wanted to go in alone.
"Be careful, please be safe, officer."
Ai Xueer said softly from the side.
[Lecia: Master, please be careful.]
Lesia knows how to use spiritual links, so she talks directly with her mind.
"I know. Without my order, you will just wait outside."
Yang Ming turned around and said, and they nodded repeatedly.
call.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Ming opened the door, quickly moved forward, and then immediately closed the door to prevent Lesia and Ai Xueer from being affected by unknown reasons.
The structure of the room itself is not complicated. You can see Carters' test bench at a glance, and on that seat is... a black substance?
It expanded very large and crowded the entire chemical test bench. You can feel that it has the characteristics of a living body, it is constantly squirming, and its pitch-black color seems to swallow up all light.
Generally speaking, it is in the shape of a ball. It is deformed due to the squeezing of the instrument, so it looks very swollen. The flowing liquid is very similar to the shadow of a lotus, but it may be a little thicker.
Faced with this unexplainable scene, Yang Ming immediately carried out [mental link] as soon as he saw it, and forced simulation skills to increase his thinking speed.
[Yang Ming: What the hell is this? 】
[Theia: Well... its material composition cannot be analyzed, but according to my actual measurement data of different materials, its properties may be close to the 'Philosopher's Stone'. 】
[Yang Ming: Philosopher’s Stone? You mean that thing suddenly turned into this black mud-like substance? 】
[Theia: No, the Philosopher's Stone itself is highly concentrated ether, which can analyze its components. This thing can only be said to have similar properties, and it should not be transformed from the one on Carters' body. ]
After excluding this answer, there is only one thing left that is not yet known, and the answer is self-evident...
[Yang Ming: Could it be that flask? 】
[Theia: The fragments of the bottle can be detected from the ground. The black ball in front of you is most likely transformed by the contents of the bottle. ]
Speaking of which, when I first saw that the contents of the flask were also a pitch-black sphere, I didn't expect it to turn into this.
[Yang Ming: Compared to this, where is Carters? 】
[Theia: If I scanned it correctly, Carters could only be...inside this black ball.]
Looking at this dark mass, Yang Ming was completely unable to identify Carters' figure with the naked eye.
What can be reasonably inferred at present is that the moment Carters successfully opened the flask, its contents suddenly expanded, wrapping her whole body in it.
[Yang Ming: Is Carter still angry? 】
[Theia: She is definitely not dead. She is not a human but an alien. Her body is very strong and she will be fine even if she is exposed to space. The black mud will make her unable to breathe at most.]
It's really surprising that this person can survive. It's better to say that Theia actually knew it in such detail. She must have experimented with Cartus a lot back then.
[Yang Ming: What should we do? How to rescue? 】
[Theia: You call Cats first and see if she can respond to you. We will give instructions based on the situation.]
At this time, Yang and Lian were also paying attention to this place, and they were also making suggestions.
"Believe in the power of words. Many times, you can achieve impossible things with words and spirit."
[Lian: Believe in your partner, she has the ability to overcome this dilemma. This is how we got through it back then. 】
Yang Ming ended the mental link and slowed down his thinking speed.
Looking at the wriggling black matter, Yang Ming said loudly:
"Cartus, wake up!"
When the words were effectively transmitted, the black sphere gradually opened up, and Yang Ming was able to see part of Carters' body.
The clearest of them was an eye and lips on her face, Carters said in a weak voice:
"Yang...Ming."
What happened? Although Yang Ming wanted to ask her directly, considering that Carters' current condition must be extremely poor, the sound he could make was at his limit.
But there is another way to share information directly using [Spiritual Link].
This time Yang Ming felt that he should use special abilities that were rarely used in the past. He continued to speak loudly:
"Share your memories with me."
Then the skill is activated. This process requires Carters's own consent, so that she can directly obtain the records of events she has experienced in the past without relying on verbal descriptions.
Yang Ming immediately obtained her thinking channel, indicating that Carters agreed to enter it, and then there was a burst of space transformation.
Yang Ming fell into a brief trance, a bit like entering a dream, but the real world only lasted a moment.
When consciousness returned, Yang Ming could clearly see the scene in Carters' laboratory a few hours ago.
There is a clock on the wall, and the time is 9 pm, which is the time Yang Ming left the shelter yesterday.
What exactly did Carters experience between nine o'clock in the evening and five o'clock the next morning? Let's go through a round of memories first.
