Chapter 133 Another Time and Space
The rioters walked towards them step by step. Cai Haomiao knew that it was too late for them to escape, so he could only go into an empty house and hide the two children and Grandma Qu.
Grandma Qu could only anxiously ask him to hide in, "You come too."
"Grandma, you know I have to lead them away. I am a free man now, but you are different. You still have Captain Qu."
After saying that, he closed the closet door, straightened his clothes, loaded his ammunition, and prepared to fight a decisive battle with the rioters.
This time, even if he dies, he will protect those who need protection!
"He Qiuyang, don't worry, I'll be able to find you soon!"
With the determination to die, he rushed into the rioters with a gun in hand...
Qu Yanbai was still resisting stubbornly, but he was powerless to do anything as he watched his comrades around him fall one by one. He felt despair for the first time.
The Hell Star in the sky suddenly blinked its eyes, and the rioters seemed to have been summoned by something. They suddenly stopped attacking and looked in the direction of the Hell Star, as if they had received some kind of order.
Seeing the opportunity, Qu Yanbai quickly ordered his teammates and soldiers around him to launch a fierce attack. However, at this moment, a sound of explosion was heard not far away, which came from the residential building where they had lived before.
He was very nervous and felt that something bad had happened. His teammates saw him looking at the residential building and said, "Captain, go check out what's going on over there. A rioter went in that direction before. You'd better go check it out. We're here, so there's no problem."
"good."
After Qu Yanbai arrived, he found that the entire residential building had collapsed, as if it was an explosion caused by heavy weapons.
He looked for Cai Haomiao and Grandma Qu in the crowd, but couldn't find them.
A bad premonition came to his mind. Qu Yanbai saw a familiar soldier and immediately stepped forward to ask about the situation, "Have you seen Cai Haomiao?"
"He said before that he was going to look for someone in a residential building, and then he never came out. Then the building exploded, so I thought, he...he might have died, right?"
The soldier asked uncertainly with his head down. He should have stayed, but there were too many residents at the time and there was no time to control it. By the time he reacted, the place had already exploded. He carefully observed Qu Yanbai's expression.
Qu Yanbai felt as if the sky had fallen down in his heart. Looking at the collapsed building, he rushed over like crazy, "Grandma, Youyou, Taotao, can you hear me?"
"Cai Haomiao, didn't you say you would protect my grandma? Why are you gone? Come out quickly!"
This was more unacceptable than his defeat on the battlefield. Qu Yanbai controlled the vines to dig at the stones. "They are not dead, they are definitely not dead!"
"Captain, please don't do this. The chances of survival are really low..."
Due to the influence of Hell Star, the already irritable temper was easily magnified. At this time, the soldiers saw that the residents had started fighting again and could only rush over to maintain order.
Qu Yanbai's emotions of sadness and anger had begun to magnify at this time. He could not control his rage, and even could not control the vines around him.
At the moment he was about to explode, he suddenly saw two figures appearing in the ruins not far away.
Qu Yanbai stared at the two figures in disbelief: "They are back?"
Qin Muxue was carrying Grandma Qu on her back, holding the two children in her hands, while Shi Yan was carrying the unconscious Cai Haomiao on his back.
Qu Yanbai's emotions that were about to explode finally calmed down, and he asked in great surprise: "You are back, and grandma and Haomiao are fine. Did you save them? Are you injured?"
Qin Muxue put Grandma Qu down and patted Qu Yanbai on the shoulder. "Why are you so nervous? I was away for only three days. How did the base become like this?"
"Three days, but four months have passed..."
Before Qu Yanbai could ask the question in his mind, the two children had already thrown themselves into his arms, "Dad Qu, it was Sister Qin who saved us."
"No, you call him dad, how can you call me sister? The generations are messed up. You should change your name and call me aunt, okay?" Qin Muxue squatted down to educate them.
The two children nodded, not quite understanding, "I understand, Aunt Qin."
Qu Yanbai obviously still didn't understand what had just happened, how they appeared, and how they rescued Grandma Qu and the child.
Shi Yan put Cai Haomiao down from his back, still with that indifferent look, and said coldly: "He is not dead yet, he will die if he is not treated."
Qu Yanbai immediately called the soldiers over and sent Cai Haomiao to the medical room. Looking at him covered in blood and wounds, Qu Yanbai said softly, "Thank you."
In Cai Haomiao's fuzzy consciousness, he vaguely remembered that he was surrounded by the group of rioters, but a black figure descended from the sky and killed all the rioters around him in just five seconds.
One of the rioters was carrying a heavy weapon, and just when he thought he was about to die, the black figure brought him out, and he eventually lost consciousness.
When Grandma Qu saw Qin Muxue, she couldn't hide her excitement and shouted, "It's good that they're back, it's good that they're back, they came just in time."
"Grandma Qu, you sprained your leg."
"These are all minor matters. Xiao Cai's injuries are more serious. We are fine."
Qin Muxue looked at the mess inside the base, and obviously hadn't realized what had happened here. "How could it become like this?"
"It's a long story. Let me explain it to you. More than a month ago, when we were attacked by rioters, we thought it was the God's Descent Sect that launched another attack. But after arresting these rioters, we found out that they were not from the God's Descent Sect at all."
"Rioters?"
"Well, this is the name we gave them. Although they have human appearance, they have no human emotions. They are like killing machines that are made to kill non-stop. They kill other creatures as well, but their ultimate goal is humans. They are ruthless and cruel to the elderly, children, young and middle-aged people. There are also some psychics among the rioters, usually level two or three psychics, but there is also a most powerful psychic, the super rioters. They are very powerful, stronger than level three psychics, and very aggressive. Now we have discovered a new type of rioter, the wise men, who have very high IQs..."
Qin Muxue stood aside and listened to their explanation silently. Seeing Qu Yanbai covered in blood and in a miserable state, she said, "So the current situation is that this group of rioters are attacking the base."
Seeing the base like this, Qin Muxue had already thought of everything that had happened here.
Qu Yanbai looked at the two of them in confusion, "How did you get back?"
"I'll tell you about this later. Now let's solve the problem of the residents here first!"
Qin Muxue pointed at the residents who were still arguing not far away. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Qu Yanbai was inexplicably upset when he saw this. "This kind of thing happens all the time, ever since Hell Star opened its eyes."
He raised his head and looked at this mysterious planet. Just now, because Hell Planet blinked, the rioters immediately stopped their attack. If Hell Planet blinked again, who knows what will happen here.
"Captain Qu, the rioters have retreated." A soldier hurried over to report.
"Retreat?" Qu Yanbai also found this incredible, but he didn't know what happened inside. Why did the rioters who were attacking the base at all costs just now stop the attack and evacuate quickly at this time?
"They were leaving just as fast as they were attacking."
"Then you should arrange for the injured and the residents to a safe place as soon as possible."
"receive."
Qin Muxue asked the two residents who were fighting, "What are you fighting about?"
"I don't know either. I just felt that I didn't like him for a moment. Just now when I was escaping, he accidentally stepped on my foot."
"He glanced at me just now. He clearly looked down on me."
The two had just finished explaining when they started arguing again. It was nothing more than some trivial matters, and it wasn't just these two people. A couple started fighting directly and no one could stop them.
Qin Muxue looked up at Hell Star. It was obvious that something had changed in this world.
"By the way, where is Manman? I want to go see Manman."
…
When Manman opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure appear in front of her. She thought she was dreaming and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
The moment he saw Qin Muxue, his eyes instantly became moist, "Xiaoxue, I knew you were okay. You're finally back."
"Yes, I'm back. Why did you faint? Didn't I tell you to take good care of yourself when I'm not around?"
For Qin Muxue, it was only three days, but for Ding Manman, it felt like she hadn't seen her for four months.
Seeing that there was no one else around, she solemnly handed the emerald necklace back to Qin Muxue's hands, "It should be returned to its original owner. I only used some medical equipment in it. I also took good care of the animals. Baozhu is also very healthy, and the puppies are all doing well. We are just waiting for you to come back."
"Good. Really good."
A calico cat popped out of Qin Muxue's hat. Manman shouted in surprise, "Zhenzhu, you're back too. I missed you too."
Pearl jumped onto Manman's body and smelled the familiar yet unfamiliar scent on her.
Qin Muxue accepted the necklace. She knew that Manman must have gone through a lot during this period. She looked much more haggard, and her chin had lost its original roundness. "Thank you for your hard work, Manman."
"It's not hard. As long as you come back, it's all worth it. However, we lost many teammates and many innocent lives in this rioter's attack..." There was a sense of loss in her voice. "By the way, Xiaoxue, what happened to you during this period? Shi Yan and Zhenzhu, where did you go and how did you come back safely?"
Qin Muxue's mind began to reflect on what happened after they entered the wormhole:
In fact, she was not sure where they would end up. She held Shi Yan's hand tightly, holding Zhenzhu in her arms. In the distorted time and space, she felt a headache, and countless fragments of memories flooded into her mind.
When she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in a laboratory. This laboratory used the principle of wormholes to invent a way to travel through parallel time and space. Qin Muxue was 100% sure that this parallel time and space belonged to the time and space of Shi Yan that she was looking for.
The whole laboratory smelled of disinfectant. Qin Muxue walked in the unfamiliar laboratory and suddenly found that Shi Yan and Zhen Zhu, who came with her, were nowhere to be seen. She looked around for them, "Shi Yan, Zhen Zhu, where are you?"
At this moment, she saw a familiar face that looked panicked. "Sheng Xingyuan, why are you here?"
"That's why I want to ask, why are you in the lab, who are you?"
Judging from his appearance, she should be a stranger to Sheng Xingyuan now. Also, this is a parallel universe, so it is normal that he does not recognize her.
"If I say I come from another parallel universe, would you believe it?" She looked into his eyes and stated her identity directly.
"I believe it."
Sheng Xingyuan is the person who created the machine to travel through parallel time and space, so he naturally knows the existence of parallel time and space.
"But, why did you come to this time and space?"
"Do you know Shi Yan?"
"I know him. He is my experimental subject now."
Qin Muxue showed a happy expression on her face, "Where is he now? Can you tell me?"
Sheng Xingyuan brought her to the ward and said, "The person you want to see is inside."
Qin Muxue hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door of the ward. She had already prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect that Shi Yan would make her feel even more distressed now.
She looked at the man with mutilated limbs lying on the hospital bed and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Sheng Xingyuan explained: "During the time travel, he lost his limbs and even his organs. Now he is just relying on instruments to support himself."
Qin Muxue knelt down in front of the bed, "Shi Yan, it's me, Qin Muxue, do you still remember me?"
Sheng Xingyuan looked at the fluctuations in the instrument next to him and said, "He should still remember you. Look, there are still fluctuations on it. This kind of time-travel machine has risks in itself. I just don't know why the mistake this time was so big. He volunteered to be the experimental subject of the machine..."
Looking at the grieving girl, he felt inexplicably sad in his heart, and could only explain everything helplessly, "I told him about the risks, but he didn't care. Besides, he had experienced many time travels, so this was a very risky thing."
"Traveling through multiple time and space, what's going on?"
"He said that he wanted to save a girl. Even if the girl could live well in one time and space, he would die without regrets. I think that girl should be you."
Qin Muxue burst into tears, "Can I take him away?"
"This is his space-time, and he can only be in his own space-time. If two identical people meet in another space-time, then the other self will be obliterated by space-time. This is the law of conservation of energy in space-time. Unless two identical people can never meet, or one of them is dead, then the other can live well. Taking him away will only accelerate his death."
At this time, a man in a white coat came in and whispered something in Sheng Xingyuan's ear, "I think we have found the companion you just said you were looking for."
"If Shi Yan from this time and space meets Shi Yan from another time and space, what will happen?"
"One of them will surely die!"
Qin Muxue looked at the mutilated body on the hospital bed. Apart from the beating of the instruments, she could still feel that he was alive.
"The Shi Yan from another time and space, the person who came here with me, is him from another time and space." She explained incoherently, "Instead of letting Shi Yan live like this, why not, why not end his life!"
Shi Yan used to be so proud. If he saw himself become like this, he would definitely be sad.
Now she couldn't even hold his hand.
Sheng Xingyuan asked in surprise: "Shi Yan from another time and space, I want to meet him, I want to meet him now." He was a little excited.
"Okay, you go meet him. I want to be alone with Shi Yan for a while."
Sheng Xingyuan nodded excitedly, "Okay."
Qin Muxue touched Shi Yan's cheek. It felt cold and lifeless. Most of his face was wrapped in bandages, and his exposed eyes were empty. She realized that he had no eyeballs.
He even lost his eyes. Without his limbs and eyes, his world was so dark. He couldn't communicate with the outside world. Even though he knew he was coming, he couldn't show his excitement.
"Why did it become like this? I once thought about what it would be like to see you, but the moment I saw you, I regretted it. It's not that I regretted seeing you, but I regretted that I should have discovered something was wrong with you earlier. You gave everything to protect me, and I should have tried my best to protect you, Shi Yan, even if you can't hear what I'm saying now, I still want to tell you... I like you, just like you like me..."
Before coming here, she had a lot to say to him, but now, all she said turned into soulless sobs.
It wasn't until the beating of the machine that Qin Muxue realized something, "You can hear what I say, right?"
…
Sheng Xingyuan hurried to the laboratory, and the moment he saw Shi Yan, he couldn't stop being excited, "This is the first time I've seen someone from another time and space."
Seeing Shi Yan holding a cat in his arms, Sheng Xingyuan asked curiously, "Is this the cat that traveled through time and space with you?"
Shi Yan nodded in confusion. Why did he feel that Sheng Xingyuan in front of him was so strange, staring at him with such eager eyes?
"Xiaoxue, where is Xiaoxue?" he asked, hugging Zhenzhu tightly.
"Qin Muxue, she is at another you's place. She has already told me why she came, but I didn't expect that she would bring you with her." Sheng Xingyuan showed a deep expression.
"Another me?"
"That is you in a parallel universe."
Shi Yan seemed to realize why Qin Muxue always stared at him with sad eyes, why she forgave all the wrong things he had done, and why she would do everything to redeem herself.
"Have I ever been to that world in this time and space?"
"Yes, he has been to many time and space, far more than your time and space. By the way, what was I like in your time and space? Did you have a laboratory like mine? Were there constant natural disasters?"
"Yeah." Shi Yan replied casually.
Sheng Xingyuan asked anxiously: "Don't just answer with one word, I want to know more specifics. In exchange, I will tell you what kind of person Shi Yan is in this time and space."
Shi Yan immediately became interested, "Okay, I'll tell you."
After the two had an in-depth conversation, Shi Yan's face became paler and paler.
Sheng Xingyuan said with great interest: "I really want to get to know myself in another time and space. I wonder if he is as smart as me. However, from your description, I still feel that he is not as smart as me. He is too distracted and even has the leisure to care about Qin Muxue's affairs."
"Aren't you meddling in her affairs now? Once you get to know her, you will unconsciously want to meddle in her affairs. From another perspective, you may also be attracted to her." Shi Yan smiled helplessly.
Sheng Xingyuan was silent. All he knew about Qin Muxue in this time and space came from Shi Yan, the perfect girl described by Shi Yan. But how could there be a perfect person in the world? He was just curious and wanted to meet that so-called perfect person.
"So, you in that time and space also fell in love with Qin Muxue, right?"
This is the most painful thing for Shi Yan. "I don't know if she is looking at another person through me. Who does she like?"
"But no matter who she likes, isn't that person you?"
This may be an event that he will never be able to figure out.
"Oh, right, I have an idea. You have a healthy body now, but Shi Yan in this time and space has a body that is already in pieces. Even if he is barely able to rely on machines to keep him alive, he won't live long. But the memories in his brain are still there. I have an idea. I want to transplant his memories to you so that he can live in another way."
Shi Yan was surprised by his thoughts, "Does Xiaoxue know about what you said?"
"She doesn't know. I'm not sure if this operation can be performed, but if you agree, it will be halfway to success."
"Shi Yan in this time and space once wanted to kill me. I always remember the look in his eyes when he looked at me, full of sadness and helplessness. If he didn't get rid of me, he wouldn't be able to stay by Xiaoxue's side, and I was a threat to Xiaoxue all the time. I don't hate him for wanting to kill me. Without him, Xiaoxue wouldn't be able to live until now."
And he would not be able to understand how important Xiaoxue was in his life, even more important than his own life.
