Chapter 190: Speculation

Under Shen Chao's guidance, Dr. Neville took his dog and two real yàn bodies into two separate disinfection rooms for disinfection. In the bathing area, they took off their gear and put it in the sanitizing tank.

Then everyone took a thorough shower in their respective bathrooms under the light of low-intensity UV lamps. After taking a shower, they put on new clothes and went through a final disinfection procedure at the door.

It was only at this point that they had finished disinfecting, and in the break room outside the shower area, after confirming that everyone had finished disinfecting, they left the crossing area together through the small door.

It had been half an hour since they had crossed back. Seeing the bright starry sky outside, Dr. Neville was in a daze. It was the first time in three years that he had been outside a closed house at night. He hadn't seen the stars in a long time.

However, he soon stopped in a daze, for Sam was still a little scared with him, and the faithful shepherd dog did not yet understand that he had arrived in a safe world without mutants to ravage.

It yelled twice around Dr. Neville, and when it saw that its owner was unresponsive, it grabbed Dr. Neville's clothes with its mouth, and then dragged him desperately towards the gate of the crossing zone they had just left.

"We're safe, Sam......" Dr. Neville said as he lowered down to pick up his dog and smiled brightly as he felt Sam's drag, as he and Sam finally got rid of the fear they lived every day.

When he finished sighing, Shen Chao helped him transport the two mutants on the movable bed to the real yàn building in the westernmost part of the island. There are not all facilities though. However, there are still a number of basic medical items and practical equipment.

In one night, they transformed several rooms on one of the floors of the building into experimental areas. They used building materials that they had not used up in their previous base construction projects.

Of course, it was only the most rudimentary modification, which could only ensure the safe isolation of their two "patients". In the future, the specific improvement and upgrading of this real building will depend on Dr. Neville himself.

By the time they were done, it was already the next morning. Shen Chao first went back to the fitness area and had a routine morning exercise with Custer and Alice, who had already started training.

At breakfast, he went back to the building and led Dr. Neville to their dining room in the quarters. For the first time, several people sat together and enjoyed a hearty breakfast together.

In the morning, Shen Chao took Dr. Neville to browse the whole island. Let him know the location of their facilities, the major systems on the island, and their means of communication and transportation to the outside world.

Before lunch. Shen Chao took Dr. Neville to the hangar and assigned him one of the jet planes as his special plane. As a scientist who will need to do a lot of work in the future, Dr. Neville needs easy communication and fast transportation to the outside world.

And it just so happens to be. Dr. Neville has a single-engine pilot's license and nearly 200 hours of flying experience. Theoretically, he should be able to get used to the jet very quickly.

Of course, Shen Chao wouldn't let him start working so quickly. Dr. Neville also needed to relax before their next move.

He hadn't seen a crowd in years, and both Shen Chao and Custer thought he needed to readjust to his normal life. Make some adjustments before you can go on an expedition with your team.

In the afternoon, under the leadership of Shen Chao, Dr. Neville visited all parts of the entire second base. And Shen Chao also arranged a room for him in the living area.

After completing the visit, Shen Chao also made an electronic ID card for Dr. Neville, and his number was naturally behind Alice, which was A-004. The ID card is still an electronic magnetic card. It's just that another company's security system is used.

With this card. Dr. Neville has free access to all facilities on the island, as well as secondary management of all electronic devices. …,

After dinner, Dr. Neville went back to his building, and judging by his appearance, he should be there for the next few days.

Shen Chao didn't have any intention of stopping him, he just moved some furniture and daily necessities with Custer. So that he will not sleep on the floor in the real yàn building. After a busy day, Shen Chao returned to his room. Alice was already waiting for him in the room......

Again, a thousand words are omitted......

At midnight, Shen Chao slowly opened his eyes, he carefully withdrew the arm that was wrapped around Alice's body, and he carefully moved his body away. Then gently jump out of bed. There was no sound at all.

After jumping out of bed, he carefully put the thin quilt back in place to make sure Alice didn't get cold. Then he slipped out of his room gently. Thankfully, Alice didn't notice his departure.

He carefully closed the door and silently descended the cold marble staircase. Their living quarters are baroque manor-style buildings with extensive use of marble and other finishing materials.

He walked all the way down the stairs. Arriving at the hall on the first floor, Shen Chao did not turn on any lights. At the door, he opened a small arms cabinet. Due to the large size of their new base, in order to deal with possible contingencies, each area has a small arms cabinet.

All their heavy weapons and ammunition are in arsenals and ammunition depots far from residential areas. However, since this is their core living quarter, they all have their usual weapons and armor in their weapons cabinets here.

Shen Chao quickly took out a folded M8 Avenger assault rifle from the arsenal and loaded it with a magazine. Then he took out his N7 armor again. Just as he was about to put on his armor, the lights in the hall suddenly turned on.

Alice suddenly appeared in the hallway at the staircase on the second floor, wearing a red silk nightgown trimmed with gold trim. He crossed his arms and looked at Shen Chao downstairs who was only wearing pajama pants.

"I'm coming with you this time. She just said coldly, and then walked down the stairs and opened her weapon cabinet beside Shen Chao.

"Don't do that, Alice, you know there's probably nothing going to happen, baby," she tried to persuade as she got angry. He knew that Alice must have guessed his mind and wanted to come with him.

This was the third time he had taken an adult to the main plane. He did this the first two times, and then was forced to cross once during a break.

"That kid is the same thing, it's different. Alice was not convinced by him, she simply took off her dressing gown and quickly put on her armor. Shen Chao knew that she was talking about the baby they had brought back from the biochemical world.

At this time, the cute mixed-race baby was in an orphanage in Sydney. The reason why I want to use him as an example is because after Shen Chao brought this child to the main plane last time, there was no forced crossing.

Shen Chao arranged for an agent to check on the child's latest situation from time to time, and Alice is still looking for suitable adoptive parents for this poor child who lost his parents due to biochemical research.

What is certain is that both before he brought the baby back to the main plane, and during this period of time, it is clear that it is a very normal child.

Therefore, based on this, it is speculated that it is unlikely that Shen Chao was not forced to cross after coming back because of the child's own reasons.

As the third person Shen Chao had brought back to the main plane so far, Shen Chao hadn't figured out any way to avoid the forced crossing before bringing the baby back. But now, he thinks he's figured it out. Or at least it's about to figure out some of the patterns.

When he was in the biochemical world before, he was the first to "still" return to the first base with the time and space goalkeeper. At that time, he didn't expect to get rid of the fate of forced crossing after he returned. …,

However, after they later returned to the main plane. Shen Chao has never been forced to cross like the previous times. Bringing back the little one didn't seem to have any effect on her.

Based on this phenomenon, as well as his numerous previous real-life records, he came up with several hypotheses after carefully comparing all the variables in all his actions before and after each crossing.

The first hypothesis is that he hadn't been forced to cross because the baby was too young to bring him back to trigger an unpredictable forced crossing.

Shen Chao currently has the greatest psychological inclination towards this assumption. Because every time you come back, you will inevitably bring back some microorganisms and other things. Long before he brought Custer back, he had already made many successful back-and-forth crossings.

These crossings, including their subsequent series of crossings, did not lead him to an inexplicable forced crossing. Therefore, he can be sure that he will only be punished by inexplicable forced crossing after crossing with a creature larger than a certain limit.

That's right, it's punishment. Shen Chao felt that he was forced to travel through something that he had violated without knowing it, and that he didn't know the rules of time and space yet. And the forced crossing is the punishment for such an act of him. Of course, so far, this is just speculation.

The second hypothesis is that he will only fall into forced crossing if he is carrying a sentient being, or if a human returns to the main plane. This assumption is also based on the difference between Custer and Alice and the child.

Obviously, Custer and Alice are both adults with independent personalities and self-awareness, and the baby obviously doesn't meet this condition, so this is also a considerable possibility.

The third hypothesis is more mysterious, Shen Chao's conjecture is: his two crossing methods are essentially different! So when he uses different ways to cross and bring people back, it will have different effects. (To be continued.)
