Zhang Zhiyin followed Dr. Yates and Da Yi into the core of the laboratory. (Yes, I'm looking at the novel website again)
The room wasn't small, but it was densely packed with all kinds of instruments, desks, and computers. There was an empty space in the middle that was separated from the surroundings by a special transparent material. Inside was a pedestal that was half the height of a person, and on top of it was an unknown spherical object with a diameter of half a meter.
Da Yi pointed at the sphere and said, "Yn427's original data group was stored there. Later on, it gained its own consciousness and started to run around. "
Zhang Zhiyin looked at the unknown spherical object, lowered his eyes, and nodded.
Dr. Yates personally brought him forward to undergo iris and fingerprint verification before inputting the password and instructions. The transparent barrier slid up, revealing a door that could fit one person. The space inside the barrier was narrow, so Yates indicated for Zhang Zhiyin to enter while he and Da Yi waited outside.
Zhang Zhiyin stood in front of the door and frowned as he looked at Dr. Yates. "What do you want me to do?"
Yates shrugged. "Do whatever you want. Maybe talk to it? To be honest, I don't know either. The only thing I can confirm is that as long as you want him to appear, he won't disappear. "
Zhang Zhiyin exhaled and slowly walked in.
This was a place he didn't understand at all, a domain he didn't understand at all, but they said that Yin Nian had appeared here.
This was truly a miracle. It was true for Yates and the others, but it was even more so for him.
Zhang Zhiyin raised his head to look at the dome before lowering his head again. Finally, he focused his gaze on the strange spherical object and slowly placed his hand on it.
"Yin Nian … You, promised me …"
He muttered softly.
Suddenly, the hall darkened for a moment before it became bright again. However, the electric current was still extremely unstable, and the incandescent lights on the ceiling emitted crackling sounds as they flickered violently.
Da Yi looked up and swallowed his saliva. "It's him. He's really back … Only Yn can cause such an energy fluctuation … "
He reacted and quickly shouted to the other workers, "Shut down the other energy devices! Only the A-grade energy supply will be maintained! "
Following a buzzing sound, the hall fell into complete darkness. Only the apparatus within the barrier where Zhang Zhiyin was located was still operating, emitting a faint white light.
Zhang Zhiyin, on the other hand, seemed to be unaware of everything around him. He seemed to be immersed in his own world. In front of his eyes and in his mind, everything that he and Yin Nian had experienced was all there was. In the game "Tomorrow", the dark laboratory filled with passion and chocolate; in the Hope Base, he held his hand as they walked through the dunes in the virtual battlefield; in the Seven Silver Stations, he disguised himself as Shang Qiu and fought alongside him time and time again, inadvertently shielding him behind his back; in the villain's base, he coaxed him, who had turned into a kitten, holding him in his palms like a pearl or jade … Every frame and scene was as vivid as if it had happened yesterday.
Dr. Yates opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Zhang Zhiyin in the middle of the halo. He muttered to himself, "Oh my god, why didn't I think of this … So it's like this, the human body can transmit information …"
Da Yi turned to look at him. "Doctor?"
The old man closed his eyes gently, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"He backed himself up in his mind."
"Yi, you see, he has no emotions, but unexpectedly, he seems to be more affectionate than anyone else. This time, we shouldn't interfere with him anymore. He is a more perfect and powerful creation than us. We don't have the right to interfere. "
Dr. Yates opened his eyes and looked at Da Yi with warmth. "You, Felix, and even the me from before, none of us have truly understood and experienced this problem. From the perspective of a self-centered human who was blinded by a single leaf, rashly making a judgment on 'it' would be wrong. We don't understand him. We can try to understand him, but we have no right to interfere. "
Da Yi frowned and nodded. He then asked another question. "Will there be any problems with using the backup to restore Yn427? I'm talking about compared to before. I'm a little worried about Zhang Zhiyin. "
He maintained his frown and asked about his worries. "What if this Yn427 reverts back to a cold AI that has no feelings for humans? What if he doesn't care about Zhang Zhiyin at all? Not only will we not be able to ask him to help us destroy the drug, but … he will bring even greater harm. "
Yates sighed. "We can only walk and see. This is our only path. "
Suddenly, Da Yi rushed into the central barrier and shouted, "Doctor, Zhang Zhiyin has fainted!"
When Zhang Zhiyin woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar room with Da Yi and Dr. Yates in front of him.
Dr. Yates smiled and said, "Your body is fine. It's just that you suddenly received too much information and energy fluctuations and couldn't handle it. You're fine. This is my lounge, you can rest for a while longer. "
Zhang Zhiyin opened his mouth and asked with great difficulty, "What about him?"
Dr. Yates and Da Yi looked at each other. Finally, Da Yi stepped forward and said, "There's good news and bad news. Alright, the good news is that your Yin Nian has officially returned. The bad news is that we don't know where he is right now. We can no longer track his whereabouts since a long time ago. "
Zhang Zhiyin moved his mouth but didn't say anything.
Da Yi averted his gaze and thought for a moment before continuing, "Zhiyin, I hope you're prepared. Yn can grasp all the information in the world in an instant, so there's no way he doesn't know where you are. However, since he didn't appear in front of you immediately, it can only mean that some things have changed. As for how much it has changed, I can't be sure until he officially appears. Before everything is confirmed, don't recklessly treat it as your Yin Nian. "
Zhang Zhiyin closed his eyes and nodded.
He stayed here for three days, but still didn't receive any concrete information about Yin Nian. The people in Dr. Yates' lab could only vaguely catch a few traces of Yn 427's movements. They deduced from these weak clues that Yn 427 was moving around randomly just like when he first gained consciousness. No one knew his goal, or perhaps he didn't even have one.
On the fourth day, Zhang Zhiyin returned home.
Along the way, he was hoping to see that person sitting on the sofa and waiting for him, just like before. However, he didn't dare to have too much hope, afraid that his hopes would be dashed.
The key turned into the door and made a clicking sound. Zhang Zhiyin pushed the door open and sighed softly.
Everything was still the same as when he left, empty and cold. Only Yin Xiaoxiang, who had been neglected for a few days, heard the sound and came over, softly snuggling up to Zhang Zhiyin's ankle.
Zhang Zhiyin closed the door and locked it. He bent down to pick up the cat and sat on the sofa.
He left in a hurry and didn't bring much luggage with him, so he was too lazy to pack. He just sat there and didn't do anything.
There was nothing he could do. His lover had returned, but he wasn't going home. No one knew exactly where he was, and no one could catch him. Zhang Zhiyin didn't even know what happened to Yin Nian.
He just slowly fell asleep on the sofa, not even changing his clothes.
When he woke up, his side was still empty, just that he was in a different place.
This was the new home Yin Nian arranged for them in the Alliance headquarters, and he was still the only one inside.
Before Zhang Zhiyin could continue feeling sad or think about what to do next, a person rushed in with an expression that said something bad had happened.
It was Xiao Jin.
He said, "Captain, I know you're worried about Dr. Yin, but there are other important things you need to deal with right now."
Zhang Zhiyin raised his head and looked at him.
Xiao Jin said, "The main force of Bathing Flame Base that was transferred away by Dr. Y has returned, they should have completed their mission. They lured a group of high level zombies to Biru City, Bronze Station Five is asking for help! "
Biru City was the last battle the Thunder detachment won before returning to the headquarters, and it was also the most crucial part of the Alliance's third safety zone. The ability users of Bronze Station Five were all close friends with the detachment, so Zhang Zhiyin couldn't just ignore them.
He grabbed the uniform next to him and said, "Summon the entire team, we're leaving immediately."
When he got on the car, he was still wondering if Bathing Flame Base's sudden action had anything to do with Yin Nian. Didn't this mean that Yin Nian was also here, and in this world … he only needed to find Dr. Y?
