Inside the cabin, there was a laptop that had been damaged beyond repair. There was a constant flow of air coming from it.
This flow of air blended with the surrounding black fog, which seemed to confirm the source of the black fog.
The subspace countercurrent was coming from this laptop.
Chen Chen scanned the laptop with his psionic power. He could almost see a group of Northern American officials gathered around the laptop, watching the events unfolding at NASA headquarters. However, when they opened the video sent by the Event Horizon, everything changed...
Due to the impact of the subspace countercurrent, the plane instantly lost control. It was just like what happened in the movie — a curious rescue team member approached the Event Horizon's space warp engine. In an instant, the space warp engine turned into a black liquid and sucked the rescue team member inside...
At the same time, there was an explosion. Even the rescue ship was instantly damaged by this impact, so the rescue team had no choice but to take the risk and move to the Event Horizon that had yet to be explored.
That was the plot of the movie. Obviously, the same thing happened to Air Force One back then.
"If entering the subspace countercurrent is just an appetizer, then next, we're going to have the main course."
Zhao Shanhe joked, and then slowly put his hand into the laptop screen.
The screen was like a calm pool of black water. Zhao Shanhe's hand reached into it without any hindrance. Then, his arm, body, and even his legs...
In the end, Zhao Shanhe mysteriously entered the black water.
"Do you dare to follow me?"
Jenny, who stayed behind, taunted Chen Chen and then walked in without hesitation, leaving only Chen Chen standing outside.
Faced with the other party's question, Chen Chen only smiled lightly. After that, he no longer hesitated and directly reached in.
"Buzz!"
At once, Chen Chen felt a chill all over his body and his entire body was completely immersed in it!
In the next second, the space around Chen Chen rapidly changed. He immediately wrapped himself with psionic power and at the same time, probed in all directions.
When his psionic power swept through the area, Chen Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was because he only felt that he was surrounded by a quiet and peaceful path. The path was full of people, all of whom were teenagers with big bellies but shriveled limbs.
"Hey, Lerigado!"
Suddenly, Chen Chen felt a heavy slap on his back. Someone had placed a hand on his shoulder. Chen Chen frowned slightly and quickly turned around.
However, the moment he turned around, his consciousness strangely appeared to be in a trance, as if his original self-awareness had been blocked.
A young man with a similarly huge belly and extremely shriveled limbs turned his head and opened his eyes at the same time.
"Gu Lu Hide!"
Chen Chen looked at the dark-skinned teenager behind him, suddenly showing a distressed expression. At the same time, he said without hesitation, "Did you dig up any Mianmian vegetables? I've been digging for half a day today, but I didn't even find a single piece of cotton! "
"I only managed to dig up this little bit …"
The boy whom Chen Chen referred to as Grumble scratched his head awkwardly but still stuffed the large handful of 'Mianmian vegetables' he had dug up into Chen Chen's ragged sack. "This is all I can give you!"
"Haha! Thank you, Grumble! "
Chen Chen and the other young man burst into laughter at once. Their smiles were filled with innocence.
The sun was setting in the west, bringing with it a sense of warmth. At this time, the group of teenagers who were digging for wild vegetables outside the village began to walk into the village in groups of three to five.
Soon, Chen Chen saw the village he was in. It was an indescribably old thatched hut. Most of the area was occupied by cow stalls and chicken cages. Only a small portion of the area was covered with muddy roads.
The mud on these roads was even worse than in the wilderness...
Still, for Chen Chen at this time, he did not feel that anything was wrong. He just returned to his family's thatched cottage as usual. As soon as he lifted the straw curtain, he suddenly saw five or six brothers and sisters sitting in the house, looking at him eagerly.
They focused their attention on the side of the thatched hut. There, a young man and a young woman were blowing on the fire. Above the fire, there was a battered black iron pot.
From the iron pot, a faint aroma of food rose.
"Lerigado's back?"
As if she had heard the commotion, the young woman turned around and gave Chen Chen a kind smile. "Sit down, dinner will be ready soon!"
"Yes, Mother!"
Chen Chen felt a growl in his stomach. He was not hungry at first, but now he felt anxious. He stared at the iron pot not far away and gulped.
After picking wild vegetables for a whole day, he was famished...
Soon, the rice was cooked. Chen Chen scooped up a big bowl from the side and squatted down to eat. Although the rice was bland and tasteless, he enjoyed it very much...
After the meal, the sky gradually darkened. Chen Chen lifted the curtain and went to the water tank by the door. He took a ladle and asked for a big ladle of water. After gulping down two mouthfuls, he looked up.
The stars were shining brightly above his head. The Milky Way stretched across the sky like a white chain. At this moment, Chen Chen was in a trance again.
"This place..."
In the next second, Chen Chen could not help but frown. He remembered that he had entered the subspace with Zhao Shanhe. Why was he in a place like this?
"Lerigado!"
Chen Chen suddenly heard his father's stern voice from the other side of the door. He quickly turned around and went back into the room.
"Gardo, didn't your mother and I tell you not to run around at night? What if you get abducted by the vagrants?"
Chen Chen felt very strange when he heard his parents' nagging. He wanted to leave and find out what had happened to him, but he found that he did not know where to start.
"I'll just wait and see for now..."
Chen Chen thought to himself.
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed in a hurry. In this primitive African village, Chen Chen had also grown from an emaciated six-year-old boy to a muscular, dark-skinned sixteen-year-old youth.
Over the past ten years, Chen Chen had silently observed everything from a bystander's perspective. Gradually, he noticed that the flow of time was very strange. Sometimes, a lot had happened, but it seemed like only a moment had passed. This strange phenomenon had something to do with the subspace...
"I wonder how I can get out of here."
Chen Chen thought to himself.
Over the past ten years, the brother and sister of the young man Chen Chen had possessed all died young. Of the five siblings, Chen Chen was the only one left. Over the years, his mother gave birth to another sister.
However, on this day, a horrifying thing happened …
"Plague, it's a plague!"
The village chief stood in front of his parents' bed, trembling in fear. He looked at his parents who were coughing and spitting out blood clots from time to time. Although his parents were only in their thirties, white spots had appeared on their hair. At this time, they were lying on the bed powerlessly, coughing up blood.
Chen Chen watched all of this with a stiff expression. He suddenly remembered that this terrible and tragic symptom was the Blacklight virus epidemic back then.
"Hundreds of millions of people died in that virus in all of Africa, could it be..."
Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"Lerigado..."
His mother's hand, which was full of abscesses, suddenly lifted up and grabbed Chen Chen's arm tightly. "Run, take your sister and run! Leave the village and run to the Eco Science City a hundred kilometers away. Only there will you have a chance to survive... "
"Mother..."
A pained expression appeared on Chen Chen's face. Over the years, he had regained his memory, but he found that there was nothing he could do. He could only follow the original trajectory of the teenager in Lerigado. Even so, the death of his parents of ten years still caused an inexplicable ripple in his heart.
This was a feeling that Chen Chen had never felt before...
"Go! Hurry up, it'll be too late if we delay any longer! "
For some reason, his parents' already weakened body suddenly erupted with amazing strength again. He propped himself up and shouted at Chen Chen, "Hurry up and go!"
Chen Chen gritted his teeth. He picked up his eight-year-old sister and ran straight out of the house, out of the village he had lived in for ten years.
That's right, I'm Chen Chen. Although I've fallen into an illusion, if the illusion has Eco Science City, then Little X must be there as well. When I get there, I can ask Little X to heal my sister in this body...
Although all of this might be fake, but, but...
Chen Chen thought to himself while holding his sister's hand and sprinting.
On the way to the Eco Science City, Chen Chen saw people dying of illness on the roadside. These people had the same goal as him, which was the Eco Science City hundreds of kilometers away.
Everyone knew that only by reaching that place would they have a chance to survive...
"Lerigado..."
Just as Chen Chen was running with his sister in his arms, a familiar voice suddenly came from the grass by the roadside.
Chen Chen's body trembled. He looked in the direction of the voice in disbelief and saw his childhood friend lying on the ground. In his arms, there was a baby crying softly.
"Grurzoon!"
Chen Chen hurriedly stepped in front of Grurzoon and looked at him in shock. The young man who was supposed to be as strong as Chen Chen was now having dull eyes. His nostrils and ears were bleeding profusely. Even when he spoke, his gums were oozing pus and blood.
"My good friend, I can't walk anymore."
Grurzoon smiled bitterly. "I've heard the call of the Grim Reaper, Churchill, but fortunately, I met you before I died..."
"Say no more, I'll carry you!"
Chen Chen gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. He then tried to carry Grurzoon on his back.
"That's impossible, give up..."
However, Grurzoon immediately broke free and shook his head. "You won't be able to go far with me on your back. Your sister and I will die along the way. So, if I may be so bold as to make a request..."
Chen Chen heard this and looked at the baby in his friend's arms.
"My daughter..."
Grurzoon's lips moved. He slowly lifted the baby in his arms and held it in front of Chen Chen. "Take my daughter with you. Her life has only just begun. She shouldn't be rotting away with me..."
Chen Chen looked at the unfamiliar baby in front of him and could not help but be stunned.
"Please, I beg you..."
Grurzoon's voice became softer and softer. "I only have one wish, please... I beg you!"
As he spoke, his arms immediately sank down!
"D * mn it!"
Chen Chen let out a low growl. The moment Grurzoon's arms dropped, Chen Chen grabbed the baby that Grurzoon handed to him and dragged his sister away like a madman!
It was not until his sister began to cry that Chen Chen came back to his senses. He seemed to realize something and hurriedly crouched down and touched his sister's forehead.
Thank goodness, thank goodness...
When he felt that his sister's forehead was still warm, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, he noticed that the crying of the baby in his arms was getting weaker and weaker...
"Is this really an illusion? Why can't I wake up..."
Chen Chen's eyes were filled with pain. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly put his finger in his mouth and bit down hard!
Suddenly, a piercing pain shot through him, but it also dispelled the pain in his heart. Without thinking too much, he put his finger into the baby's mouth!
"Slurp, slurp..."
At once, the starving baby finally stopped crying. He kept smacking his lips and sucked on Chen Chen's finger greedily.
Looking at this scene, Chen Chen suddenly smiled. He showed a happy smile, then took out his finger again, and bit down hard again...
"Big brother, what are you feeding the little brother..."
However, just as Chen Chen was desperately feeding the baby in his arms, his young sister beside him suddenly asked.
Chen Chen's body suddenly trembled. He looked at his sister at his feet, only to see that his sister's eyes were also shining brightly, looking at the baby in her arms with some envy.
"Wait a minute, after I feed the little brother, I'll let you eat..."
Chen Chen nodded and then threw himself into feeding the baby in his arms again.
...
Three days later.
A gust of wind blew across the Wilderness, stirring up a cloud of dust and scattering it into the sky. Then, the dust dissipated.
In this empty and desolate wasteland, Chen Chen walked through the bushes with a blank look in his eyes. His feet were already bleeding from the friction. At this time, he was holding an unconscious baby in his arms and his right hand was holding a girl with the same dull look in her eyes.
"Big brother..."
Suddenly, Chen Chen only felt a weight on his right hand.
Chen Chen stopped at once. He looked to the right somewhat mechanically, only to see that his sister had completely collapsed on the side of the road. She did not cry nor did she make a fuss. She just stared straight at Chen Chen with a pair of dull eyes.
"Big brother, I'm tired."
The little gray face suddenly squeezed out a slight smile and at the same time, she whispered, "Big brother, I want to sleep for a while, just a while... You mustn't leave me!"
With that, his sister closed her eyes directly.
"Tired? If you're tired, you can sleep for a while. "
Chen Chen sat down in a daze, but as soon as the strength in his body relaxed, his whole body fell to the ground with a thud.
"Wah... Wah..."
Following this sudden shock, the baby in Chen Chen's arms cried again. The voice was faintly hoarse, a little weak.
"Don't be afraid, you're the son of my brother, I'll feed you..."
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice, then he stuffed his already damaged index finger into his mouth again, bit hard with his cracked lips, and then stuffed it into the baby's mouth.
"Eat, eat..."
Chen Chen said numbly. He waited for a while until the baby in his arms fell asleep again. Only then did he have the mind to look at the little girl next to him.
"Sister, wake up, we still have to go to the Eco Science City..."
Chen Chen nudged the little girl in front of him slightly, but she did not respond at all.
"You're such a lazy bum."
Chen Chen squeezed an ugly smile from the corner of his mouth. He reached out again, trembling, and touched his sister's chest...
However, he only touched a cold area.
In that icy coldness, there was not even the slightest throbbing feeling...
"..."
"Ahhhhh...!!!"
In the wilderness, a hoarse, dry roar faintly sounded, but it was instantly drowned out by the howling wind...
