Chapter 110: The Theory of Time
The attack of those aliens hovering in the sky was extremely fast, and as soon as I came out of the building, I was immediately targeted by them, and before I could even react, a powerful energy bomb exploded not far from me, and the violent air wave swept me out, not only that, but the powerful air wave was also extremely penetrating, as if in an instant, my body was pierced with thousands of holes.
Bang!!!
My body smashed to the ground like soft tofu, rolled a few times, my ears were buzzing, and the alarm of the star core was also harassing my cochlea: "Alarm, the star armor has been hit hard!" The host was severely traumatized, and bodily functions dropped to 0.7 percent. β
I lay on the ground weakly, my head was strongly dizzy, my mouth was full of salty blood, I felt as if my internal organs were crushed, my ribs were almost completely broken, and even shattered, a hot wind penetrated through the cracks in the star armor, I opened my eyes that had blurred my vision, and saw an energy projectile falling straight down from the sky towards me, I seemed to have guessed something, it was the revenge of the indigenous aliens on this planet?
Am I going to die?
Bang!
That exploding energy bomb ended my short journey to another dimension, and on the eve of death, I didn't sort out what I was thinking at that moment.
Reluctance, fear, fear?
Probably both.
Because I take the training of Xenoviri seriously, the pictures and characters here are so real, just like a real 'Truman's world', all of this will make me fear of death, and subconsciously I will be afraid of my real death. But this death is short-lived, like one of my nightmares, and when the nightmare is over, I wake up and accept all the real γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» nightmares that happened in reality.
I don't know how long I fell asleep after dying until hunger woke my brain.
"Because ten merit points need to be deducted to enter the other-dimensional plane, the host has not obtained merit in the other-dimensional plane, and the current merit: one."
The voice of the star core sounded in my head at the right time, still cold and mechanical, and it brought me bad news, but I always felt that it was much more intimate than the star core in the daytime prison, but because of what happened in the prison, I began to doubt the meaning of the prison guard's existence, perhapsγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Brother Zhou is awake!?"
Liu Zhihong's voice interrupted me, and I stopped thinking about those useless things, I always felt that those things were too far away from me, and I didn't think about what I really cared about in the past.
"Water."
I opened my eyes and saw familiar faces, looking at me with worry or excitement.
"Hurry up, get water for Brother Zhou."
Liu Zhihong shouted, Huang Ying took the water bottle handed by others, unscrewed it, poured some with the bottle cap and sent it to my mouth.
"Hey!"
Moistening my chapped lips slightly, I was a little unhappy, so I reached out and snatched the water bottle from Huang Ying's hand, and poured all the water into her stomach in her shocked expression.
"Brother Zhou, you?"
They seemed a little surprised by my movements.
"What's wrong?"
I sat up, feeling my weak body recovering little by little: "Is there anything else to eat?" I'm hungry. β
"Oh, get Brother Zhou something to eat."
Liu Zhihong completely became my spokesperson, shouting: "Uncle Lin, do you think you can still get a few wild guys to make up for Brother Zhou?" β
"Okay."
You can see that he is all very excited, because of me. My somewhat melancholy heart did feel warmed at this time, although all this is based on my strength to protect them, but what you want to get, you have to pay something, don't you? It's all mutual, I'm happy, it makes me feel like I'm doing what I'm doing.
Lin Haiming and the others brought a nutrient solution, and some high-energy compressed biscuits, and I also took this opportunity to observe the surroundings, which is in a low depression into the mountain, and they have built a few simple sheds here with branches and rattans as temporary camps, although they are simple, but they can barely shelter from the wind and rain.
"How long have I been asleep?"
I asked with a slurred lip as I gobbled up my food.
"Two and a half days."
Liu Zhihong folded his fingers and calculated, but I frowned, and couldn't help but ask the star core: "How long have I been in the other-dimensional plane?" How did the time out pass so quickly? β
"In the extradimensional plane, the real-world time in which the host is located is relatively static." The Star Core responded.
"How is that possible?"
I immediately questioned myself: "Will time stand still?" Just kidding, right? β
"To use a simple analogy: if you throw a stone into one of the basins and the water in them is stationary, the water in the basin will ripple, while the water in the other basin will not be affected." Starcore explained.
I still don't believe it, but I can't find a reason to refute itγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
The star core continued to explain to me: "There is a kind of creature, in the human world, in the speed of time with cognition, they only have a little slight movement in a thousand years, and no one can see and perceive their movements, but in their world, that thousand years are only a short second for them, and it is only the time of their blink of an eye, and in the time of their blink of an eye, human time has passed ten centuries, and in their world, the flow rate of human time is the speed of light, such as human cognition of the speed of light, It may be an unattainable speed for humans, but if the Light is conscious, they are not aware of any signs of human activity, because for the Light, humans are like the creatures mentioned above by the Star Core, and their movements are so slow that they cannot be perceived. β
"Brother Zhou?"
"Huh?"
When they saw that I was stunned, they thought something was wrong with me, so they called me out of my out-of-body state, yes, maybe it was the star core that was too unbelievable, but they couldn't find a reason to refute it, and they shook me up, and even forgot to chew the food in my mouth.
"By the way, Qin Yan γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» her"
I thought of Qin Yan who was in a coma like me, so I couldn't help but ask Huang Ying and the others.
"My sister-in-law woke up yesterday morning, but she γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Before Huang Ying could speak, Lin Haiming opened his mouth, his previous sentence made me breathe a sigh of relief, but the latter sentence made me worried, and my eyes turned from Lin Haiming's slightly embarrassed smile to Huang Ying.
Huang Ying's face was a little embarrassed: "Sister Qin, she doesn't seem to know anyone anymore γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»." β
"What?!"
My eyes widened: "You say she doesn't know anyone anymore?" β
"Hmm."
Huang Ying nodded.
I looked at Lin Haiming and Liu Zhihong, and they all lowered their heads, as if they were a little afraid that I would reprimand them.
"This γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» sister-in-lawγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» she just won't let us approach, and she's afraid that we will approach." Liu Zhihong stiffened his head and stammered a little in the face of my gaze.
Everyone else nodded.
"I'll take a look."
I swallowed the last bit of food in my hand, poured a few mouthfuls of water, and stood up: "Where is she now?" β
"Brother Zhou, you?"
"I'm fine."
Because I was nervous about Qin Yan, I didn't pay attention to how much impact my body's strong recovery ability would have on these people, and ignored their eyes like looking at monsters, and walked towards the outside of the shed.
Lin Haiming led me to another improvised shed, ignoring the gaze of those in white or military uniforms who came out of the shed to salute us.
I saw Qin Yan huddled in the corner of the shed, with a mess of dry grass and dried grass under her, and one or two clothes for her to keep warm scattered next to her, as well as some water and food, but those water and food were barely touched.
She stood up, a white coat covered with dirt, she held a sharp scalpel in her hand, raised it up and pointed at us, and in the other hand she held her medicine box, looking at us with a wary face, her head was still wrapped in a bloodstained bandage, her eyes were bloodshot, and her pretty face was now pale and sunken, like a madman who had lost her mind. She watched us warily, and waved the scalpel in her hand like a wounded, but still baring its teeth, and frantically defending her territory, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't come here. β
"Sister Qin's current state γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» like she has lost her memory, but γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Huang Ying said on the side, I know what she means by the sentence later, although Qin Yan's state is like amnesia, it is more like having lost his mind.
Seeing her haggard and emaciated face, and that vigilant and uneasy look, my nose was sour for no reason.
