Chapter 894: New World

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian stood at the end of the tunnel. In their eyes was the small city surrounding the tower and the walking dead that staggered out. They heard the ear-piercing sounds of a gale blowing through the valley, the streets, and many buildings. It was as if a group of beginners was playing their musical instruments.

Du Hengwho had come here with themwas like a bubble that shattered and evaporated under the sunlight.

To Jiang Baimian, this was like an illusion.

The next second, she and Shang Jianyao felt their heads throb at the same time. They became dizzy, and their souls seemed to be leaving their bodies.

Having experienced this before, they knew that this was a sign of them contracting the Heartless disease. This was very likely a Kalendaria or a New World powerhouse attempting to absorb their consciousness!

Shang Jianyao didnt hesitate, nor did he have the time to pinch his helmet that blocked his temples. He sank his mind, and he retracted his consciousness before entering the Mind Corridor.

He ran out of Room 131 and came to Room 205 without taking any detours. Then, he pushed open the door and entered.

The heavy and illusory black door stood quietly in the dream. It didnt change, but it was no longer open.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

Shang Jianyao stretched out his hands and pushed hard. The door silently opened.

As rays of light shone over, Shang Jianyao couldnt be bothered to size up the situation inside. He glanced at the towering tower and suddenly pounced forward.

As the dizzy Jiang Baimians head ached, she suddenly obtained an indescribable calmness. The intense dizziness and extreme headache disappeared as if they had never happened.

If not for the veins on her forehead still twitching, Jiang Baimian wouldve suspected that she had encountered an illusion again.

Considering how Du Heng was beside her, she hadnt gotten Shang Jianyao to take out the Life Angel necklace, the Six Senses Beads, and the small jade Buddha. Such a situation probably wasnt a result of the Kalendariums protection.

Her heart palpitated as she cast her gaze at Shang Jianyao beside her.

Shang Jianyao stood there motionless. It was all thanks to the military exoskeletons support that he didnt lose his balance.

Jiang Baimianwho roughly understood that Shang Jianyao had already entered the New World and had provided her with a certain level of protectionimmediately stretched out her hand, lifted Shang Jianyao, and rushed out of the tunnel with him. They entered the valley and arrived at the small citys periphery.

This wasnt a result of her being directionally challenged, but Jiang Baimian recalled Du Heng saying that he suspected that entering the New World with only ones mind or consciousness was seriously flawed. One had to simultaneously enter in both body and mind to be considered a perfect New World powerhouse.

But as the two of them stepped into the small city, Shang Jianyaos body didnt lighten or disappear, nor did it undergo any other changes.

The walking corpses that staggered out from different corners of the city surged over. It was only then that Jiang Baimian saw them clearly.

All of their eyes were turbid and bloodshot, and their bodies were slightly hunched.

Heartless!

This small city suspected to be the New World had a large number of Heartless! However, these Heartlesss expressions werent too warped. Furthermore, their eyes were dull, and they didnt resemble starving beasts.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Baimian had previously thought that it was the living dead in the Old Worlds entertainment.

Upon closer inspection, her heart palpitated.

Among the Heartless, dozens to a hundred wore relatively new clothes. Their hair was smooth, forming a sharp contrast with their greasy and ancient-looking companions.

Could it be that the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute members who didnt leave ended up taking the elevator to the fifth floors tunnel, entered, and became Heartless The Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes last sacrifice?

As Jiang Baimians thoughts raced, she saw the Heartlesss eyes gradually change. They became fierce, hostile, and bloodthirsty.

This was like an outsider waking up a sleeping gravekeeper and suffering the most violent attack.

Jiang Baimian a.s.sessed the situation and felt that it was very stupid to use the military exoskeleton to fight head-on without knowing how many Superior Heartless were here.

She planned on a temporary retreat. After Shang Jianyao had a preliminary understanding of the New Worlds situation and could provide some support or information, she would hide her human consciousness and use the military exoskeleton to secretly infiltrate this place. She would then confirm and identify the Heartless that posed a threat and investigate the small citys secrets. Following that, she would cooperate with her companion in the New World in reality.

As an experienced warrior, Jiang Baimian didnt hesitate to take action the moment she made a decision. She lifted Shang Jianyao up again and retreated into the tunnel with him before the Heartless could arrive.

It was only because the tunnel was so close that it was visible to the naked eye that Jiang Baimian didnt get lost.

As for whether this would affect Shang Jianyaos consciousness and body entering the New World at the same time, it wasnt something that bothered Jiang Baimian for the time being because there was a high chance that he would be eaten if she left his body in the small city.

They would literally eat him.

She hadnt seen any difference in bringing his body into the New World yet. Therefore, she definitely had to move Shang Jianyaos body out first to ensure his safety.

She would make up for it after Shang Jianyao gained a foothold in the New World and obtained the corresponding information.

After returning to the tunnel, Jiang Baimian didnt immediately retreat further. She calmly turned around and closed the heavy iron-black door again.

After doing this, she retraced her steps with Shang Jianyao. After getting lost several times, she finally left the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes main building with difficulty and saw the Old Task Forces jeep.

Pangu Biology, Room 14 on the underground buildings 647th floor.

Like every time they returned, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong completed the usual procedures and returned to the team office to wait for the test results.

Long Yuehongwho was sitting in his seatlooked around and laughed self-deprecatingly. I actually find it a little quiet.

With only two people left, it will definitely be much quieter, Bai Chen said truthfully.

Long Yuehong quickly stopped her. You cant say that! I-its too inauspicious.

Yeah. Bai Chen wasnt angry because of this, nor did she joke about how it wasnt he who said it. She nodded solemnly and said, They will definitely return.

When the time comes, they might not return to the underground building. Maybe we will meet on the surface

Long Yuehong didnt dare to say it out loud.

He subconsciously wanted to discuss if the special state that Teacher Du Heng had attached to that portion of memories was effective, but he rationally remained silent.

The room fell silent again.

Around the tower that pierced into the clouds were lit buildings. They lined up one after another and formed streets.

Shang Jianyao bathed in the darkness and stood at the entrance of a street at the citys edge. He clicked his tongue and said to himself, There are still many differences. The tower in reality isnt that tall, and there are no lights around them. I dont see those zombies here either

As soon as he entered the New World, he couldnt be bothered to observe the environment. He directly used the connection between his consciousness and body to penetrate the barrier and return to the Ashlands, adding a protective s.h.i.+eld to Jiang Baimians consciousness.

After doing this, he had the time to look around.

Thats right, thats right. Shang Jianyao echoed himself. He then stroked his chin and said, As expected, at the New World level, one can directly extract human consciousness to replenish their expenditure. Its no wonder that a New World powerhouse can crush a Mind Corridor-level Awakened even without completely returning

At this point, Shang Jianyao suddenly felt a little excited. I wonder if I can split into ten people in the New World and act separately?

He gave it a try the moment he thought of it. After a while, he was still alone.

It clearly feels like it can be done, but Im restrained by a certain power. Furthermore, its very difficult to materialize weapons The ruthless Shang Jianyao looked at the tower in the middle of the city again. We have to obtain the permission of certain existences first?

The rash Shang Jianyao urged, Do you plan on standing here forever? Walk toward that tower. If you encounter Wu Meng, Flora, and Barnard on the way, ask them about the details of the New World.

This time, most of the Shang Jianyaos agreed with his suggestion.

Shang Jianyao immediately walked into the street ahead.

Silently, a street lamp beside the road lit up, scattering a yellowish glow.

How friendly! Shang Jianyaowho valued relations.h.i.+ps and was the youngest mentallysaid with sincerity. They are afraid that I wouldnt be able to see the road, so they specially turned on the street lamps for me.

As he continued forward, another street lamp suddenly lit up, and the one behind him returned to darkness and silence.

Whats this? This is called conserving electricity! Shang Jianyao applauded.

At this moment, he saw a dim yellow light s.h.i.+ning from a second-floor room of a cla.s.sic three-story building by the street that was in the Red River architectural style.

It was dead silent.
