Wasteland Survival System and Dogs

Chapter 97 Confusion (Big Chapter Merge)
In the not-so-large space, there are two completely different life forms.

The lemming, which contained Jiang Yue's soul, was lying sluggishly in the corner at this moment.On the other side, there was a mass of milky white flesh the size of two fists.

The pitch-black tentacles have now shrunk to the thickness of a little finger, hanging from the corner of the meatball, as miniature as a small tail.

After briefly observing the health status of the lemmings and confirming that they were still in good condition, Jing An withdrew her hand and stroked the lump of flesh as if soothing.

By adjusting the magnitude range of the trial mantra, Jing An can further control the size of the position.

The process of trial and error is not easy, and the work that requires high-precision operation will definitely consume a lot of energy.But it also benefited from the experience of using a trial mantra, the system has completely analyzed it, and fed it back to the host.

Under the premise of thoroughly understanding this characteristic, the adjustment process is extremely handy.

At the same time, Jing'an finally finally figured out where the ultimate pressure that Nuo Er can withstand-the current level is just right.If you want to continue to compress it, the whole mass of meat will stop moving and tend to collapse.

rustling...

What Jing'an responded to was the constant squirming, which caused the external stand to rub against the inner bag, resulting in a slight noise.

It's hard to imagine that this mass of meat that can't speak, but just keeps wriggling and making noises, is the only evidence that Nuo Er only survives in the world.

He sighed softly, and the emotions of helplessness and sadness also floated out.The milky white exhalation collapsed in front of Jing An, which also made his thoughts turn to the next question.

"Prompt, an unknown position coverage has been detected. It is determined that the host has entered the domain of a powerful biological individual."

"Hint, the mosaic of large-scale events has been collected, and a corresponding report will be formed after a simple analysis. Please host..."

It is a pity that the system has not finished sorting out, so that the intelligence content presented by Jing'an is a piece of fragmented information, with almost no connection at all.

Can't find any reference value.

After shaking her head regretfully, Jing An went to re-examine the first message reminder.

In terms of importance alone, the two are almost on par.

When Jing'an was still unconscious, the system detected this.Even in order to prevent Jingan from ignoring it, a second reminder was given by packaging.There is no doubt that the system's attention to this issue is extraordinary.

The amount of information contained is so much that it is even worth Jing'an's analysis one by one.

To be able to drive the stance to carry out large-scale coverage, the first is the mysterious mutant who starts at level 3... If not, then only super-strong creatures at the nesting level can bring themselves such a large-scale stance.

No matter which one, they are not objects that Jing An can face directly.

But it is not these characteristics that Jing An pays the most attention to.

"Even if there was a commotion of that magnitude, the other party didn't show up..."

The collapse of the cave and the resulting small-scale terrain changes are not insignificant in terms of influence alone.If it were a pure domain-level mutant, it would be somewhat abnormal.But even so, the other party did not choose to come forward at the most critical moment.

Is there any inconvenience?
Or maybe... the other party's ability range far exceeds Jing'an's imagination?

Jing An silently pursed her lips, the expression on her face became a bit complicated and tangled.

Ever since entering the northern territory, overwhelming confusion and fog have followed.Without the help of the system, Jing'an is like a traveler groping forward in the mist, he can only feel the thrill of one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Scratching her head, Jing An was a little annoyed.In the end, he simply calmed down his mood by taking a deep breath.

Since you don't have any clues, let's just let it go.

After all, the seemingly complicated problems now may be solved after he advances to a level 3 mutant.

Thinking of this, Jing An also slowly closed her eyes, and began to take a short rest.

Outside the cave, violent storms and snow were still flying across the sky.The dense darkness covered the moon and stars, as if some unknown secret was constantly brewing, and it continued to move towards a deeper unknown.

Hope tomorrow will be better.

After talking to herself seemingly comfortingly, Jing An also tilted her head, and lay down and slept together with Old Popsicle and Aisha beside her.

…………

At the same time, in a sanatorium in the southern city-state.

"Yesterday you said you would get better today! Why are you still like this today!"

"You haven't woken up until now, are you really fooling me?!"

Facing a mutant who is about to run amok is undoubtedly an unequal confrontation for ordinary doctors.He stretched out his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tried his best to maintain the most basic 'dignity' in his voice.

"Sir, I can be sure. There is nothing abnormal about Miss Weier's physical condition. Her heartbeat and pulse are even much healthier than normal people."

"Then why isn't she waking up now!"

In rage, Kracher swung his fist down.Clenched tightly with five fingers, the murder weapon pieced together viciously hammered on the metal handrail beside it.

crunch.

There was a grinding sound.

With Krach's movement, the handle made of alloy was broken off.The cracks at both ends showed interlaced fractures, as irregular as a cliff, which made the doctor swallow nervously.

"Sir, I really have no reason to expire you. You should understand the clients of the rehabilitation center. We all exist to serve mutants. We are professional in all aspects of emergencies."

As soon as the voice fell, the ward across the corridor was rushed away.A medical nurse stuck his head out in a hurry and shouted towards the outside of the house.

"The patient is awake!"

Contradictions disappeared in an instant.

The furious Krahe pushed open the isolation door, and after looking around a few times, he looked straight at the woman sitting on the sickbed.

"Will, you wake up!"

The mention of his name made the mutant, who was still confused, slightly raise his head.Her eyes didn't have any sparkle, just like a dried up ancient well, they just looked dry and calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

"K... Kracher?"

The man whose name was called directly stepped forward, grasped Will's hands, and asked eagerly.

"How do you feel? It's just a synesthesia, usually it's only an hour or two at most, but why are you in a coma for such a long time?"

The confused thoughts were sorted out under the reminder of his companions, and Weier's expression began to change visible to the naked eye - from dazed to frightened, the change took only two seconds.

"I, I, I..."

The violent mood swings made it difficult for Weir to organize clear words for a while.She tightly grasped her companion's arm, panting with her mouth open like a drowning person being rescued.

"I didn't see anything, I couldn't do anything."

"It was an empty world with nothing in it. There was no memory or information. I wandered around in it and couldn't find any traces at all."

"I can't find any reference, I don't know the passage of time, and I can't see the exit. I feel like I'm going crazy... If it weren't for the coordinates imprinted on my body, I wouldn't even be able to walk out of Jiang Yue's memory !"

While comforting his companion, Kracher tried to rearrange the fragmented information in his own way.

"Calm down, calm down Vail. You're safe now."

"Also, what do you mean... your empathy, you can't get any information in Jiang Yue's body?"

With the help of a nurse, Weir swallowed the nutritional supplement capsules.Her emotions have also been relieved to a certain extent under the constant comfort. Although she still has a tendency to shrink back at this time, she is more or less able to communicate normally.

"No, it's not that simple."

"What I see is a blur of white, do you know what that means?"

As if for emphasis, her voice trembled even more at this moment.

"Any creature, whether it is a human or an animal, has its inner world decorated with colors! Blue represents calmness, and red symbolizes enthusiasm. Such background colors are the keynote of the existence of creatures as individuals."

"But, in Jiang Yue's memory, I can't see any color at all!"

Kracher, who was trying to empathize, tried his best to understand Weir's feelings at this time, he thought for a while, and then replied softly.

"It means, has all Jiang Yue's memory been emptied?"

"Not only that!"

Weier took the water glass tremblingly, and the warm water entered her stomach, allowing her to further restore her ability to organize language.

"It's not just a memory, I can't feel any fluctuations on her body at all. It's like... It's like facing a stone for empathy."

Stones have no emotions or thoughts.

If you treat it as an object of ability and then use empathy, you will eventually be unable to detect the other party's thoughts, and thus end up with the result of ineffective use of the ability.

If you continue to follow this line of thought, Kracher can also understand what Weir means.

but……

"Jiang Yue used to be a real person!"

Eerie silence.

Obviously it is an object that can read memories, but why... her spiritual world is blank?
After a brief silence, Will's cough broke the calm.

"Ahem... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Captain, what about the captain?"

"Just yesterday, after all the meetings were over, the captain and the others set off first. Thanks to that guy named McCree, we also roughly knew the whereabouts of the target man."

McRae, who showed a startled state, was watched by everyone on the spot.And he simply did not hide Jing'an's whereabouts after getting the approval of his captain, and immediately made it clear to all the participants.

The route from south to north is also shared among the participating members.

The two people's eyes met at this moment, and they both read some indescribable emotions from the other's eyes.

north.

Almost all the content of this emergency meeting is covered.

"Krahe, we also have to catch up with the captain. My intuition tells me that Jiang Yue's situation is very special, and I have to explain the situation to the captain..."

Knowing the priority of the matter, Kracher was unable to stop it, so he nodded and replied softly.

"Yes, but you have to replenish your nutrition and recover first. We will leave in the early morning, and I will pack my luggage first."

The resolute two people quickly reached a consensus, and after asking the medical staff to pay attention, Krach turned around and left.Only Will was left wearing a hospital gown, staring blankly at the sky outside the window - late at night, under the cover of clouds and radiant air, almost no twinkling stars could be seen in the south.

"Why...can't find Jiang Yue's memory?"

I recalled my friend's absent-minded eyes and a series of weird physiological reactions.Will shuddered involuntarily.

It seems that Jiang Yue's body has only been left with an empty shell at some point.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the second day, at the same time when the early morning sunlight penetrated the mountain snow and swayed on the frozen soil, Jing'an also regained consciousness at this moment.

Only four hours of rest, but did not feel the slightest discomfort.Physical strength and energy are like a large battery fully charged at this moment, constantly bringing Jing An plenty of mobility.

"Everyone wake up, get ready to go."

After a night of dormancy, although Old Popsicle and Aisha were not in high spirits, they recovered some of their energy.They promised to stand up without complaining or muttering.

Wash, pack, remove traces.With a clear division of labor, the two people and the dog turned back again and returned to the climbing platform.

Regarding how to pass through that strange settlement, Jing'an has already thought of a corresponding plan.

"We'll go up the mountain later, and we won't stop at the cliff pass. Remember to follow me closely, and don't touch anything before you get out of the settlement, understand?"

"Ok sir."

"Woo~"

After the three parties reached a consensus, Jing'an opened the way, and the team went all the way up until they reached the narrow passage.

Before entering the aisle, Jing An keenly noticed something strange.

The traces on the steps caused by the head falling...all disappeared.

But just that, obviously not worthy of his attention.Because the mountain snow overnight was enough to cover up all the clues and traces.

What makes him feel strange is the surrounding environment.

This was a very strong sense of déjà vu, so that he couldn't help but stop and asked his own questions to his companions.

"Old Popsicle, you've been here too. Along the way, did you notice anything unusual? For example... the smell of blood?"

The old popsicle sniffled, his dog eyes hung upwards, and he snorted vigorously towards Jing'an.

snort~
A puddle of blood splashed on the snow, and Aisha frightened fumbled for two cloth towels from her backpack, trying to wipe the blood from the old Popsicle's nostrils.
