“It has the ability to hypnotize!”
“Damn it!”
Zhang Yuan was extremely furious and then realized his left hand seemed to have its own consciousness and started moving uncontrollably.
A shock went through him, and he grabbed his left hand with his right to prevent it from flailing.
“Right, the transmission of signals between neurons relies partly on electrical signals. Could this creature actually manipulate biometric electricity remotely?”
He struggled to control his left hand, reaching out of the space suit from the fourth dimension, immediately feeling a chill from the void.
Having done all this, Zhang Yuan burst into laughter, “My kind sir, I am truly thankful for your story. This hand you’ve controlled, might as well just freeze stiff, I don’t need it anymore. Frozen solid, you won’t be able to manipulate it then, will you?”
Then, he threw the weights he was wearing one by one into the distance, changing the mass distribution and continuously altering the entire spatial structure.
“Throwing most of the mass from my body further away, like this, the bending point will get increasingly farther from us, unreachable… Ah, while my mind is still clear and my determination strong, I won’t have any regrets… who knows whether I’ll later be hypnotized by the fear of death.”
In fact, Zhang Yuan regretted not having learned how to curse thoroughly from those old-timers.
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
His tone of sarcasm was too mild, otherwise he would have cursed it back eighteen generations.
That would have been truly satisfying!
Hearing Zhang Yuan’s mockery, Zero-XZ seemed at a loss for words, falling into silence.
The hypnosis had failed, and without being able to physically touch him, electromagnetic waves in high-dimensional space were hardly aggressive.
It simply rued internally, lamenting the scarcity of time left. If it had completely deciphered his brain, the scene would have been different now.
Zero-XZ watched helplessly as Zhang Yuan threw various heavy components far away, the bending point slowly drifting further apart, making it impossible for them to touch even if they coordinated.
[Warning: According to calculations, the current spatial mass distribution has reduced the escape probability to below 0.01%…]
[Suggest entering low-energy mode, waiting for the next opportunity to escape…]
Zero-XZ ceased to speak, consolidated all its functions, and entered low-energy state. It did not even want to waste a tiny bit of energy, so it could endure the lengthy time ahead…
Having thrown away all weighting components, Zhang Yuan gasped heavily.
Half an hour later, he gradually calmed down.
The hand he’d stretched out was irreparably frostbitten, devoid of any sensation. However, compared to his current predicament, losing a hand truly mattered little.
There was no way out now, only the possibility of death remained.
Witnessing one’s own death is a painful affair – what should be done in the last few hours of life?
Various thoughts crossed Zhang Yuan’s mind. Was Captain Zhao still worried?
Was Lin Xuanyuan crying?
Zhang Yuan sighed deeply, truly sorry. Now the best course of action was to stay here, quietly awaiting his own death.
“Only by staying here can I protect you.”
In the last few hours, he did not want to think about all those miscellaneous things. Better to spend them cheerfully!
Zhang Yuan reopened the screen on his wrist, which now contained a mathematics paper from an Alien Planet, swindled from the enemy yet not reclaimed—it could be thoroughly enjoyed.
…
Earth Era.
The conference room was filled with many people, including Captain Zhao, soldiers, the heads of both Deep Space University and Star University, experts from various disciplines, and some medical personnel constantly ready to intervene. The anxious anticipation was almost indescribable in words.
On the large screen at the front, a high-dimensional fragment was displayed, with a buzzing of discussion intermittently filling the room. Many people paced back and forth, not even in the mood to sit down.
“Gentlemen, right now all we can do is wait here.”
“Rather than wasting energy fretting, why not calm down and consider what we should do if the worst happens?”
Captain Zhao stared at the large screen and sighed, while the others exchanged glances.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted.
A Deputy Captain whispered, “The best case scenario is that Li Zhendong didn’t detect any information. That is to say, Dr. Zhang and the alien life perished together, both sucked into the high-dimensional space.”
Yes, that was the best case.
“The worst case would be the alien life still being on the spaceship. The second explorer, Li Zhendong, discovered traces of the alien life, but in the moment he emerged… he died.”
“It’s also possible that he might not be able to come out all, which would be an even worse, more complex situation.”
“If such a situation were really to occur…”
Captain Zhao, thinking of his talented junior brother dying so insignificantly, felt an inexplicable pain.
But there was no way, really no way.
At that moment, he truly felt the weakness of humanity… an inexplicable being, capable of dooming all of humanity—that kind of weakness!
Eight hours later, finally, there was good news amid the anxious wait; Li Zhendong, pale as death, escaped from the high-dimensional fragment.
A small cheer erupted among the crowd.
His emergence meant the worst-case scenario was avoided!
The moment he returned to the real space, Li Zhendong forcefully supported his body, gasping heavily, with cold sweat on his forehead like large beans.
The strange world was truly beyond human mental capacity; even with extensive psychological preparation and the help of various instruments, escaping was incredibly difficult!
The enormous psychological pressure, almost like carrying out a sentence in prison, made those eight hours a sheer ordeal for him.
But thankfully, he had escaped.
Struggling to muster energy, Li Zhendong said loudly, “Everyone, from the high-dimensional perspective, no life forms were detected!”
Then his voice dropped again.
“But… I did not find any traces of Zhang Yuan either, there was only me inside, and I did not find those two missing human soldiers,” after saying this, Li Zhendong collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
A group of staff hurriedly supported him and imported all the data from the instruments into the computer. Some scientists re-examined this data, quietly discussing the situation discovered.
This time’s detection data was more detailed, more specific.
“…Most likely, even if entering from the same warp point, due to different time sequences, one would end up in different spaces. That’s why we couldn’t locate Zhang Yuan.”
“It truly is the impenetrable ‘high-dimensional prison’. If it wasn’t for this warp point, one might never have been able to come out…”
Captain Zhao looked somber, “So, basically there’s no possibility of rescuing Zhang Yuan, is there?”
One of the Deputy Captains said, “We know nothing about this space, trying to conduct a rescue is like looking for a needle in a haystack… he may not survive a few more hours.”
A few young people stepped forward, “I am willing to enter the high-dimensional world for a third exploration.”
“And so am I!”
“Ah…” Captain Zhao thought for a moment. It would be good to explore a few more times, as it would be more reliable. With adequate preparation, Li Zhendong had already calculated a way to escape, so repeating the process shouldn’t be too difficult.
Moreover, there still existed a slight delusion in his heart…
“Select personnel carefully, don’t act on impulse. Once inside, everyone must rely solely on themselves.”
“Understood!”
As such, time passed second by second, and they quietly waited for one whole day. All topics had been discussed, everyone was very tired, and the voices of discussion gradually quieted down.
