Mou Xuan tapped his knuckles on the projector switch, and the lingering aroma of barbecue from the celebration banquet mixed with the smell of blood filled the conference room.
Chen Yao twisted the oily iron rod and suddenly poked it into the holographic sand table. The dark red lines perfectly matched the explosion site three days ago.
"The afterimages of the six Xu old friends are all tilted 15 degrees to the southeast." Her fingertips passed over the ice wall projection, and the nano pendant suddenly decomposed into six silver pointers, "like a compass distorted by some kind of magnetic field."
Skeptic kicked aside a cart piled high with data slates. Black goo suddenly oozed from the glowing blue screens.
When the mucus gathered into the Dow base logo, Yin Information Analyst suddenly grabbed his hair and screamed: "These redundant data are imitating the growth pattern of human synapses!"
The conference table was suddenly split in half by ripples of time.
Mou Xuan's palm pressed on the back of Shen Yao's neck, and the scenes of the celebration banquet were reflected in reverse on the retinas of both of them - the broken cork fragments of the wine bottle were spelling out longitude and latitude coordinates in the air, and a miniature signal transmitter was hidden in the metallic reflection from the cuff of a soldier when he raised his glass.
"Captain Zou, take people to check the source of the transmitter signal." Mou Xuan tore open his bandaged right arm, revealing the time mark that was bleeding. "Captain Lu, follow the refraction angle of the ice wall and check all the underground cold storages in the southeast area."
Chen Yao suddenly held down his hand as he was about to activate his supernatural power.
She smeared the oil stains on the tip of the iron rod on the tactical tablet, and the nano silver liquid suddenly boiled and formed a three-dimensional maze: "Do you remember the joke that old friend Xu told before he was arrested?
He said he wanted to hide birthday presents in the frozen meat. "
When the two groups of people rushed out of the base, Chen Yao was arranging the leftover steaks from the celebratory banquet into a star map.
Mou Xuan watched her wrapping conductive wires around the table knife, and suddenly grabbed her hot wrist - those conductive wires were emitting vibrations that resonated with the time tattoo.
"The third cold storage in the Southeast Region." The two said in unison. Chen Yao's earlobes blushed as she pulled her hand back. "The temperature monitoring shows that the temperature there has been kept constant for three consecutive days, but all the frozen meat transportation records are forged."
The moment they kicked open the cold storage door, twenty old-fashioned CRT televisions lit up with snowy screens at the same time.
As soon as Mou Xuan's time barrier opened, he saw Chen Yao's nano-silver liquid piecing together an escape route in the water on the ground - the trajectory of the evaporation of those water stains was exactly the same as the direction of the black silk when the wine bottle exploded at the celebration banquet.
"It is indeed a nested mirror space." Chen Yao suddenly stuffed the pendant into Mou Xuan's palm, and the silver liquid crawled along his time lines to cover the entire ice wall. "Do you remember the countdown of the self-destruction program of the Tao base?
Adjust the power frequency to 7.62 Hz..."
Amid the roar of the ice wall exploding, information analyst Yin suddenly fell in, twitching all over.
Six blood-red concentric circles swirled in his pupils as he mechanically repeated, "Redundant data is imitating... imitating..." He fainted before he could finish. The sweat stains on the back of his combat uniform formed a miniature version of the bloody smile from the celebration banquet.
Just as Mou Xuan was about to step forward, he suddenly discovered that Chen Yao's nanosilver liquid had condensed into an arrow on the ground, pointing directly at a steel plate on the ceiling of the cold storage that was leaking water.
At the moment when the power of time tore open the steel plate, three hundred birthday cards fell like snowflakes, each of which was printed with a photo of a different soldier's celebration party - in the shadows at the edges of the photos, there were six overlapping afterimages of Xu's old friends.
"The feedback data from the sonic matrix is starting to flow back!" Lu's skeptical roar exploded from the intercom, accompanied by the harsh noise of metal tearing, "These frozen meat cabinets are secreting... secreting artificial plasma!"
Chen Yao suddenly pressed the birthday card on the water-seeping steel plate, and the nano-silver liquid actually turned the water marks into a satellite cloud map.
When Mou Xuan pressed the time mark in the center of the cloud map, the entire cold storage suddenly rang with the alarm of the Tao base before its self-destruction - 0.3 seconds different from what they heard three days ago.
Information analyst Yin suddenly twitched in his coma, and black silk lines appeared on the back of his neck, the same as the wine bottle at the celebration banquet.
Just as Chen Yao was about to check, the lighting system of the entire cold storage suddenly began to flash at the frequency of Morse code, and the shelf life numbers on all the frozen meat packaging bags were strangely reorganized.
Mou Xuan's time tattoo suddenly burned and seven concentric circles emerged. This time, a miniature version of Xu's old friend's face was embedded in each circle.
When the seventh ring closed, an electronic sound like a baby crying came from deep in the cold storage, and a light spot with the same frequency as the redundant data packet was oozing out from the back of a frozen shelf... (Continued)
When Chen Yao's tactical dagger pierced into the gap of the leaking steel plate, fish-scale-like ripples suddenly appeared on the metal surface.
Mou Xuan grabbed the back collar of her combat uniform and pulled her backwards. Three poisoned steel needles rubbed against the ends of her hair and pierced into the frozen flesh behind her. The pierced pig's hind legs instantly swelled up into a purple-black ball.
"Don't touch anything reflective." Mou Xuan bandaged his palm, which was burned by the time tattoo. The concentric circles with Xu's old friend's face were oozing blood. "Old Tao is playing cognitive pollution."
Suspicious Lu suddenly kicked over the frozen meat cabinet that was secreting artificial plasma. The smiley face drawn in blood on the inside of the cabinet door was exactly the same as the grease pattern on the celebratory banquet plate.
He picked up the fire axe and chopped open the smoking refrigeration pipe. Dozens of mechanical spiders poured out along with the Freon mist. The LED screen on the abdomen of each spider was playing the cold storage surveillance images from different angles.
"These are all looped videos from three hours ago!" Chen Yao's nano silver liquid crushed the two mechanical spiders, and the flying parts spelled out longitude and latitude coordinates on the ice surface. "Before Brother Yin fell into a coma, he typed the Morse code with his trembling eyelashes - there is electromagnetic fluctuation at 27 degrees northwest!"
Mou Xuan kicked open the frosted cover of the ventilation duct and suddenly stopped Zou's confidant who was about to get in: "Wait." He tore off the cover page of the combat manual and threw it into the duct. The paper instantly broke into willow-leaf-shaped metal sheets in the airflow, and the cut sparks actually formed the emblem of the Tao base in the air.
