After Zheng Gaoya finished explaining, the other teammates all showed some understanding on their faces.
They knew that this was a relic of a predecessor who was worth remembering, and they also understood the source of that vague sense of familiarity.
It seemed to come from some rumors that were overheard, some rumors about the super-powered person who fled from the battlefield.
But everyone didn't have time to think too much. Zheng Gaoya turned around and handed the iron sheet with some signs of corrosion to his teammate "Tracing the Source", indicating that the newcomer should show what he is good at.
Suyuan took the metal nameplate and held it tightly in his hand.
In order to allow her to concentrate on using her abilities, Zheng Gaoya withdrew the third-person perspective shared with her, and took other teammates to stand by her side to prevent sneak attacks from monsters.
Suyuan closed her eyes, and energy imperceptible to others enveloped the metal plate. Then, all her past experiences began to replay rapidly in her mind.
In just a moment, in Su Hui's mind, more than ten days or even dozens of days have passed.
This is why the ability to trace the source cannot be applied to solving cases. She is currently unable to control the speed at which she slows down her memory, and if she is not careful, key information will completely disappear in the long river of time.
The flickering light in the sky was like a fluorescent tube with poor contact, flickering at an extremely high frequency.
But close to the ground, there didn't seem to be much change in this forest.
During the day, thick fog and shade from the trees reduce the brightness in the forest, while at night, tiny dots of light like fireflies reappear in the sky, keeping the entire forest in a stable state of brightness.
Tracing the source still had a basic understanding of the last exploration plan, knowing that it was in the 32nd year of the New Era, which was twenty years ago.
Hundreds and thousands of days flew by in her mind. Suyuan watched the mottled metal nameplate become brand new little by little, and she knew that the part she wanted was about to appear.
Finally, in a moment, Suyuan saw a layer of dark red blood on the nameplate, and around the nameplate, there seemed to be one or more figures falling down.
Her mind quickly tensed up, and she tried her best to slow down her abilities, wanting to see everything in her mind as clearly as possible.
Soon, the dark red bloodstain disappeared, and the nameplate automatically flew up from the cracks between the tree roots and returned to the chest of a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was wearing old combat uniform and holding a box full of samples. He was surrounded by several people wearing the same uniform, young and old, and everyone had an expression of uncontrollable fear on their faces.
Behind them, on the tall trees that appeared in the mist, insect-shaped monsters whose patterns and colors almost blended into the trees were rubbing their abdomens with their middle two legs, making bursts of harsh sounds.
As time goes on, the expressions of the members of the super power team from twenty years ago gradually become relaxed. As they retreat, more and more people join the team.
It turned out that the people I just saw were not all members of the team. For some reason, they seemed to have started acting separately some time ago.
Because it was played in reverse at high speed and put a great deal of mental pressure on him, Suyuan was unable to obtain the information he wanted by reading lips.
She could only watch those people retreat little by little, the fog around them dissipating little by little, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, as if they had left the terrible abyss.
But Suyuan knew that all this was just her own beautiful fantasy. The constantly improving situation in her mind was just a replay. Those team members had died under the claws of strange beasts twenty years ago, and now it was difficult to even find their bodies left here.
Finally, the super-powered team from twenty years ago, no, the super-powered squadron, withdrew from the forest, and Suyuan finally found it difficult to maintain his abilities.
The reversal of time began to accelerate again.
And this is another disadvantage of the tracing ability, that is, she can only actively activate the ability, but it is difficult to control the ability fundamentally.
The images of history that have already happened will continue to regress until the thing that is encompassed by her ability appears in this world.
But fortunately, this unstoppable retreat did not last too long, because the nameplate of the super-powered person, Mr. Zhang Tong, was not an old item, but a new thing that was just processed a few days before leaving the city.
When the history of the metal nameplate regressed to a stamping production line, the ability to trace its origins ended passively, and she opened her eyes again.
Hearing the relieved gasp, Zheng Gaoya knew that the ability to trace the source had ended.
He remained alert and asked:
"What did you find?"
Suyuan crossed his hands over his chest, trying to calm his heartbeat:
"There isn't much valuable information. This is where Mr. Zhang Tong died. He and his companions mostly died in the surrounding area. If I can find their remains, I might be able to discover more.
"But according to the nature of the alien beast, this possibility should not be high."
Tracing the source thought for a moment and continued:
"We have to be careful of the trees around us. There may be insect-like creatures with mimicry abilities on them. Their calls are very strange, so we must be extra cautious."
Ray nodded when he heard that. The redness in his eyes was about to burst out. He held a small tube of eye drops in each hand, making him stand out among his teammates.
"There is one more thing. Zhang Tong was holding a suitcase full of samples. Although the suitcase was an old model, I remember that the structure was well designed. The alien beasts might not be able to carry out targeted destruction. If we can recover it, there should be more gains."
Zheng Gaoya nodded and wrote down the words of Tracing the Origin.
"The thick fog and branches above have affected my abilities to a certain extent. You can search for remains and other items around me, but do not exceed a range of fifteen meters around me.
"Also, be careful of the mimic insect-like beasts that the source said. If you find any, retreat immediately and don't alarm them."
Several teammates dispersed, and Zheng Gaoya continued to share his abilities, standing in the middle of the crowd, constantly adjusting his position and observing his surroundings to ensure that every teammate was safe.
The search lasted for more than an hour, but unfortunately nothing was found.
The remains may have been eaten by some strange beasts with strong digestive abilities, and the sample box is impossible to find.
Those strange beasts may have learned to hand over the things they picked up to higher-level strange beasts... Who knows?
