Chapter 2: Hot Pot Lovers
It seems to be instantaneous, and it is like eternity.
The confusion in reality a moment ago slowly woke up in a dream.
Chen Xiaoze felt the coldness and smoothness of the fluid touching his skin, and the wrapping sensation of his limbs and torso passing back to his brain.
Slowly open your eyes....
At this time, he was lying naked in a confined space, encased in a viscous pale green liquid.
The closure of the hatch, which is less than ten centimeters from the tip of the nose, makes people feel inexplicably suppressed and fearful.
The next moment, the feeling of suffocation in his throat suddenly came, making Chen Xiaoze retch! It seems to be blocked by something.
Grabbed it to his mouth, and then pulled wildly.
It was a thick tube, which he pulled out of his trachea, and it was half a meter long.
Laugh at~~!
The oxygen supply system leaves the body, triggering the emergency procedure of the hibernation chamber, the airlock is activated, and the hatch cover is opened.
Chen Xiaoze suddenly sat up from the liquid, and inhaled as if he were about to pump all the air into his lungs.
Then, it went dark...... Passed out.
The next moment the world is turned upside down, from virtual to real.
Chen Xiaoze sat up from the bed violently!! I couldn't hide my horror, and even though I was breathing smoothly, I couldn't help but gasp for breath like in a dream.
"Bang! How did those animals get out of the first kilometer? ”
This is the actual situation of Chen Xiaoze in the dream, let alone walking out of the sleeping cabin, he faints in the dream every time he breaks out of the cabin, thus returning to reality.
Because of the setting in the dream, Chen Xiaoze should have been lying in the hibernation capsule for a long, long time.
It could be years, it could be decades, it could be centuries!
The body maintains a minimum metabolic state for a long time, and is suddenly awakened resulting in extreme weakness.
Just a simple extubation, getting up is enough to exhaust all physical strength, and shock in an instant ....
So, how do those perverts who go out a kilometer do it?
After calming down, Chen Xiaoze overcame his fear and lay down again.
He is not a bold person, and he does not have many excellent qualities. But one thing is still desirable, and that is to do what you are sure of, no matter how difficult it is! I want to do it too.
He still doesn't believe it, others can walk a kilometer, and I won't hang up when I open my eyes!?
This time, Chen Xiaoze calmed down a lot. Waiting for the world to flip ......
It's still the same scene, the same situation.
This time he slowly raised his hand, slid it into the liquid to his mouth, and then slowly pulled out the breathing tube after retching.
Phew!!
There was another sound of an airlock, and the hatch opened again.
Chen Xiaoze is not in a hurry, although his lungs are already hot and urgently need oxygen to fill, but he is still slowly, slowly.
Holding the edge of the cabin with both hands, he slowly ...... Sit up.
It wasn't until the dormant liquid was exposed in his mouth and nose that Chen Xiaoze inhaled violently.
This... No dizziness!!
In addition to being happy, Chen Xiaoze still didn't dare to be careless, maintained a sitting posture, motionless to avoid wasting physical strength, and waited until he felt that his body had recovered a little, and then looked around.
The internet is right, it's a dark, silent, eerie space, lit up close only by the dormant pod's faint green fire lights.
You can vaguely see the high ceilings and floors, all of which are made of metal as far as the eye can see.
Other than that, there are all coffin-like sleeping pods, neatly arranged. To be honest, it was a scarier scene than being locked up in a sleep pod.
Especially in the experience of previously infected people, no matter how far you go, nothing changes, it is all exactly the same.
Preconceived ideas, let Chen Xiaoze's brain make up an endless huge space, which was filled with thousands of coffins.
"I don't know if it's a living person lying inside, or rotten bones."
Imagine who would not be afraid to put in such a scene?
Holding back his cranky thoughts and fears, the next step was for Chen Xiaoze to climb out of the biological cabin.
The process was still difficult, the boundless hunger and fatigue were constantly disintegrating his will, and he could really feel that there was nothing in his stomach and intestines.
"Plop!"
Chen Xiaoze finally climbed out of the biological chamber and fell into the metal floor.
The cold touch made him ......
Don't touch it, the moment you land, your eyes are dark, and you faint.
Chen Xiaoze, who woke up in reality, was completely speechless, "This is too empty, right!?" ”
Unwilling to fall asleep again.
This time, Chen Xiaoze has let go of his fear and is more careful.
Same scenario, same "game" flow.
Extubation......
Rise......
Climb out of the biological pod....
And then stood up!
And then .....
Woke up.
Yes, he did the step of climbing out of the hibernation pod, but the process of standing up was too physically demanding and stuck.
I tried several times, but at most it was to stand up, and I really couldn't continue.
Chen Xiaoze got energetic and began to find a way. I can't stand up, so I won't stand up, right?
Optimize it, climb it!
So, the next time Chen Xiaoze climbed out of the biological cabin, he didn't get up, and squirmed directly on the ground.
Sure enough, this time Chen Xiaoze climbed a few meters away before returning to reality.
It's just that the ground is a little cold, and the eggs are even cooler.
Don't forget, he's still naked.
This time, instead of rushing into the dream, Chen Xiaoze began to meditate in reality.
With the physical strength in the dream, it is completely impossible to climb far.
"Bang! Those grandsons can't blow it, right? "It's a possibility.
One person starts blowing, and the rest follow.
After all, you've walked out for 500 meters, and I'll hang up when I get out of the cabin, which is really a bit embarrassing.
If you change Chen Xiaoze, you can't tell the truth? It's a matter of face.
But is it really impossible?
I don't believe that everyone is bragging, there must be a way to continue exploring, otherwise this dream is meaningless.
Fall asleep again and try again.
From a few meters to a dozen meters.....
Twenty meters......
......
More than 30 meters.....
......
Fifty meters!!
Couldn't be any further.
I don't know how many times I tried for half a night, and the farthest was only fifty meters.
In the end, Chen Xiaoze was tired.
The process of crawling out of the hibernation pod and then crawling to fainting again and again was not pleasant, and it was even more maddening to endure hunger and weakness
He simply lay back in the sleeping pod, and this time he didn't toss it! Die differently!! Let the viscous liquid submerge it. He also opened the airlock and closed the hatch cover, which served as a coffin.
In the end, Chen Xiaoze concluded that it was much better to die of exhaustion than to drown.
Returning to reality, Chen Xiaoze looked at the ceiling and smiled bitterly.
Well, he kind of understands the infectees who are having fun on the Internet.
A completely unsolvable nightmare, you can't escape and can only bear it, so what can you do if you don't go farther than anyone?
Closing his eyes, Chen Xiaoze did not enter the dream this time, but went through the scenes in the dream, every detail, in his mind.
Sleep pod .....
Sleep .....
The tube inserted into the trachea ....
Hatch....
Metal ceilings.....
More hibernation pods ....
Floor.....
Crawl.....
Wait a minute! Hatch..... Hatch!
"Bang!!" He scolded and opened his eyes suddenly, "There seems to be something wrong with the hatch cover." ”
The dormant fluid is pale green, and the metal hatch cover seen from it is also pale green....
But the moment he just drowned, Chen Xiaoze seemed to see a red sign and words on the hatch!
See the words on him!
Half an hour later, Chen Xiaoze finally fell asleep and fell asleep.
This time, Chen Xiaoze opened his eyes and was wrapped in a viscous liquid, and instead of pulling out the tube, he stared at the hatch cover.
However, nothing can be seen clearly.
I just woke up dizzy, even though the liquid was transparent and there was a light in the sleep pod. It may be strange to see it clearly, but it is no wonder that I haven't found it so many times.
I had to pull out the tube and sit up in the cabin.
This time, Chen Xiaoze waited until his vision was clear, and turned his head to look at the flipped hatch.
Still can't see clearly, without the light source of the dormant cabin lamp, the surrounding dim environment, even if Chen Xiaoze turned over and stuck to the hatch cover, he couldn't see the details of the inner wall of the hatch cover.
So, he repeated what he had done last time.... Lie back down in the hibernation pod and close the hatch cover!!
Through the dormant light, he could see clearly!!
There is a big red arrow on the hatch cover with a line of words on the arrow!!
——[Emergency Response Kit].
The point is a palm-like pattern on the hatch cover.
Chen Xiaoze opened the hatch cover..... I sat up from it and pressed my palm up....
The next moment, the palm print is unlocked.
The sound of mechanical flipping came from the flat hatch, breaking the silence of the dream space.
A tiny, tiny compartment peeked out of the hatch.
Chen Xiaoze saw the contents clearly and scolded: "Damn it! ”
"Which son of a son designed it?"
A minute later, two injections were taken out by Chen Xiaoze and placed in front of him.
【Body Enhancement Potions】
【Emergency Nutrient Solution】
One is to quickly restore physical functions, and the other is to replenish physical strength.
......
I have to say.
The dream is really thoughtful.....
Not only does it allow you to restart your body, but it also keeps you full.
"But why do you write? Isn't it okay to have voice prompts!? ”
And looking at that body strengthening potion, I was even more speechless, and I was so extravagant....
Using precious strengthening potions as repair potions may only be able to do such a thing in dreams!
You must know that in reality, body enhancement potions are very rare and expensive evolution support items.
The average person simply can't afford it!
Take Chen Xiaoze as an example, he has only seen it from afar in the showcases of large pharmaceutical companies, and then he completely lost interest when he saw the long list of "0s" on the price tags.
In reality, he can't afford it anyway.
It can only be said that dreams are indeed dreams, and they can be made up at will.
Pick up the [Body Strengthening Elixir] and prick it directly....
Millions of things that don't hurt at all are wasted on him, a waste of people.
If it were in reality, knowing that there was no chance of evolution, he would be reluctant to use it if he was killed.....
Not to mention, the senses of dreams are too real. Chen Xiaoze could clearly feel the pain of the needle piercing into the skin, and.... In a very short period of time, the strengthening agent repairs the deterioration of body tissues caused by long-term dormancy.
Combined with the injection of [Emergency Nutrient Solution], the body can quickly recover physical strength at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's just that what he doesn't know is..... In the real world, while lying in bed, while injecting the strengthening potion, he also began to change subtly...
Chen Xiaoze is sweating! The body temperature is elevating ....
The eyeballs under the eyelids are pulsing rapidly, and the musculature and nervous system are rapidly strengthened by a force from the dream realm! It's like being injected with a [Body Enhancement Potion]!
The nerve tissue, which had been solidified by the virus, was also strengthening at a slow rate.....
Dreamland.
Chen Xiaoze, who had recovered his strength, jumped out of the sleeping cabin and walked towards the depths of his dreams, naked!!
There is no way, Chen Xiaoze doesn't want to run naked. But the dream realm even prepared the strengthening potion, but he didn't prepare clothes!!
But it's nothing, it's just him anyway, and he crawled naked just now, so there's no psychological burden.
The first thing Chen Ze did was to probe the surrounding dormant pods.
He then discovered that most of the hibernation pods were empty, and the work lights were not on.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there are people inside, but they are dead.
Only about one-tenth of the hibernation chambers are lit up with a work indicator light, which is shown on the system's monitoring screen, and there are also human vital signs inside.
It's just that Chen Xiaoze tried it, and no matter what method he used, the hibernation pod couldn't be opened from the outside.
I don't know if there are people lying inside, or whether they are lying or not.
However, Chen Ze found a detail, that is, the hibernation cabin has an external switch, but he doesn't know who destroyed it.
That is, there was once someone who didn't want the people inside to come out.
Perhaps, that's the clue in the post, right?
Find the person who destroyed the hibernation pod...... Is it a clue to a dream?
No! Chen Xiaoze immediately dismissed the idea.
He also came out of the hibernation pod, and he was one of the ones that the man didn't want to let go!!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoze was instantly frightened, his hair exploded, and he instinctively lay behind a sleeping cabin.
I'm the one who broke the switch and didn't want to let it out!
That... Is that person still there? Where!?
Looking around, the dark infinite space made Chen Xiaoze even more creepy.
Maybe at this moment, someone is staring at him.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoze thought about it, and his eyes rolled wildly.
Finally, gritting his teeth and snorting his throat, "Hey! Come out! I see you! ”
No one responded, and Chen Xiaoze continued, "Big fool! What to hide? Grandpa is here, come and kill me! ”
Still no one responded.
Chen Xiaoze was anxious, "Come out and say something!" Just the two of us! ”
"Does it matter if you're a monster or a devil? Ugly or human, let's talk? ”
Still.... No one responded.
"!"
Chen Xiaoze was extremely disappointed, stood up and left.
He was really scared.
But the problem is, it's a dream!
Even if there is danger, no one can die. And don't forget, he's here to explore the plot. It doesn't matter if he is an enemy or the same kind, as long as he comes out, he can trigger the plot, and it will be good for himself.
It's just a pity that maybe there is no such person at all, or he is long gone.
Disappointed, Chen Xiaoze continued to explore the dream space, since that person did not come out, then at present he had only one way to go, and that was to pin his hopes on the person in the dormant pod.
The outside can't be opened, and there must be computer control. Just get out of the space and find the computer that controls the hibernation pod.
Chen Xiaoze felt that this idea was correct.
The dream space returned to calm, except for the sound of Chen Xiaoze's breathing and the click of the soles of his feet against the metal floor.
However, Chen Xiaoze didn't know that in the darkness dozens of meters away from him, a figure was curled up behind the sleeping cabin, shivering....
