Chapter 294 Chapter 294
As Hannah was taking the photo, there was a huge earthquake.
Hannah and Bryce immediately guessed from the familiar vibration that it must be Lord Kret who activated the time-space anchor and was about to go back.
"Oh no! Let's go!" Bryce hurriedly tried to pull Hannah away, "We can't waste any more time."
“But I still have one wall to shoot!”
“Maybe next time!!”
Bryce dragged Hannah downstairs.
"Next time, yes, next time." Hannah hurriedly put her phone into her backpack. When she was dragged out of the building, she suddenly remembered, "I didn't take the things in the box!"
"I'll come back again!" Bryce replied hastily. "This is just the first experiment."
Experiments are something that should be tried again and again, and after many attempts, it will become a normal thing.
Although Lord Carrett did not explain the purpose of the experiment in detail and only told them to experience and observe, Bryce had guessed it based on the existing conditions.
If the experiment is successful, all the monsters that appear in the future can be eliminated into the other world, and then the awakened ones will be sent to the other world to kill everyone and eliminate the monsters.
Perhaps some people will doubt the necessity of the latter. The monsters are no longer in the original world. Is it necessary to go to the other world to destroy them?
Of course it is necessary. Since these weird things can be sent away, maybe they can come back one day.
Besides, there are so many strange things in the other world, who knows if it will suddenly descend into your own world one day?
They are like sharp blades hanging over your head. If they are not resolved, the string hanging the blades will break one day, and by then it will be too late.
The small building was not far from the house, and the two soon arrived at their destination.
Returning to the warm fireplace, the two took off their heavy coats and turned around to see Flynn sitting there in a daze.
Hannah asked casually, "Has your friend not come back yet? Have you found the others?"
Who would have thought that after hearing her words, Flynn's eyes turned red and he started crying while wiping his nose.
The burly man wrapped in a quilt, crying, looked a bit pitiful.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Sarah and Paul are dead, Jenny went to find Tony, they haven't come back yet." Flynn kept wiping his tears with his palms, "Can they come back?"
"Ah..." Hannah didn't know what to say.
Bryce: "How do you know they're dead? Have you been out?"
"Your gods told me." Flynn sniffed.
Hannah and Bryce thought he was talking about Carrett, and seeing the man looked sad, they didn't ask any more questions.
"My condolences." Bryce said in a low voice after a while.
Then there was a long silence.
The house began to shake again, and Hannah and Bryce expertly looked for a solid place to hold on.
Fortunately, the vibration only lasted for a few seconds and ended quickly.
Bryce breathed a sigh of relief.
The air began to get warmer, and the people wearing thick clothes began to sweat. Looking out the window, the scenery began to look different. The originally white snow scene had now half revealed its original appearance, which was an old wooden house in the American countryside and a mess of waste piled on the side of the road.
"We can go home now." Bryce said excitedly while leaning against the window.
Hannah and Flynn also looked out the window. Hannah looked a little depressed. Are those alien worlds that they haven't explored yet just left like that?
Flynn was looking at the other half of the snowy landscape, where there was a dark figure, small but familiar.
They staggered towards this side in the wind and snow, getting closer and closer.
It's Jenny, she's helping Tony walk here.
Flynn stood up excitedly, rushed to the door, opened it quickly, and shouted to the two people in the snow: "Come quickly!"
The scenery of wooden houses and asphalt roads is gradually eating away at the snow, which means that the houses are returning to their original world.
If they don't hurry up, they will be left behind along with the world of wind and snow.
"Hurry!" Flynn shouted, stretching out his hand.
A small part of the house has been integrated into the green, and the snow on the door is gradually fading away and covered by green plants.
Jenny also realized this, she grabbed Tony's arm and quickened her pace.
"Leave me alone." Tony's eyes were half closed, his lips were blue and purple, and his hands and feet were unable to speed up due to the long period of low temperature. "You have to go back."
"Let's go back together!" Jenny insisted.
The cabin was right in front of her. She had finally managed to pull Tony back. How could she just abandon him now?
Staying in this strange world of ice and snow means only death.
She didn't want to leave Tony here to die.
Two-thirds of the cabin had already merged into the green world, and Jenny felt that the cabin in the distance seemed to be flickering, just like the unstable TV picture.
But the cabin in front of me is not a TV screen, but reality.
The link between the two worlds is about to break, and they are running out of time.
Jenny's heart was filled with fear, and at this moment, she saw Flynn.
Flynn, who was standing at the door waving, finally made up his mind. He ran towards the two of them, grabbed Tony's arm and lifted him up, turned around and started running. Jenny was stunned for half a second, then immediately came to her senses and ran after him.
Hannah and Bryce waved to them and made way for the door. The moment the three of them rushed in, the scenery outside the cabin changed completely.
The snowstorm stopped, the asphalt road and the supermarket across the street remained the same, and they returned.
Looking at the familiar modern scenery outside the window, Flynn lay on the ground with his legs weak.
Jenny knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. She looked out the window and began to cry.
She returned with Tony, but she also completely left Sarah and Paul behind.
Tony slowly closed his eyes. He started to have a fever because he had been hypothermic for too long.
"It's over." Bryce sighed. The mission was successfully completed and he came back alive.
It's easier than you think.
"Hurry, help me." Hannah's voice brought everyone back to their senses. She pulled the unconscious Tony up and said, "Help me, put him on the bed."
Bryce and Flynn stood up immediately. Jenny didn't care about the sadness and walked forward: "Should we send him to the hospital?"
"That's not necessary." Bryce took out a bottle of medicine from his bag, uncorked it and gave the unconscious Tony a sip. "This is the healing medicine of the Seko Cult. It can bring you back to life with only one breath left. It's just an illness. You'll be well soon after taking a sip of the medicine."
If it weren't for the fact that this man also provided data for the experiment and lost two friends, he would not have wanted to give up such a precious medicine.
The healing potions provided by Lord Kailet are very precious, and the priest only has a limited supply. This is his last bottle.
Not long after the medicine was taken, the fever that had just arisen subsided. Seeing Tony's breathing gradually become stable, Jenny and Flynn finally felt relieved.
The two of them sat in front of Tony's bed, speechless.

On the mountain behind the town, the medium mirror connecting the two worlds was taken away by Bai Yixin.
"What are the experimental results?" Mang Tao asked.
Bai Yixin: "It's much better than expected. The monsters brought to the other world have not come back, and the monsters from that world have not been brought into this world. Maybe it's because they couldn't enter the house. If the monsters from the other world or the local monsters enter the house that becomes an anchor, whether they will be brought to this world is still uncertain."
"All five living people in the house have been brought back. There are awakened people and ordinary people. From this point of view, Anchor Point will not screen this aspect." Bai Yixin thought, "It's a pity that the two ordinary people almost didn't enter the house. I also want to observe whether they can return smoothly if they can't enter the house of Anchor Point in time."
"Really?" Mang Tao replied calmly, "We'll know the result."
Even if the next experiment does not verify this aspect, we will know it next time.
After a round of inspection, Carrett came back and dropped two pieces of news: "Only one of the two cars is still there, and the bodies of the two dead people have not been found."
He was talking about the car that Jenny and her friends drove.
When the time jump started, Tony and Flynn drove in here and were sucked in. Now that time and space are stable, only Tony's car is still there.
Jenny's car, along with Paul and his tent, slept forever in the ice and snow of another world.
They were left in that world.
"Only one returned?"
"Yes, and it was the car near the anchor house," Carrett replied. "Maybe it was because of luck, or maybe it was because it was closer to the anchor house."
There is only one experiment that cannot summarize the pattern.
"I understand." Mang Tao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Kailett chuckled, and covered the white bones of his jaw with his left palm: "We are you. You don't need to be so polite to yourself."
"Um."
After the experiment, Mang Tao and Bai Yixin returned to Jiuxia Mountain. They had to prepare for the next experiment. The next location would be set in Han Country, and Li Tu would come to help.
But this does not mean that Carrett has no work to do. Hannah, Jenny and others who have already been to the other world need him to keep an eye on them for a while and observe their physical conditions.
After all, they are heading to a world where all living things have died, where only weirdness exists, and the air is filled with weird auras. Hannah and Bryce are fine, as they are both awakened, but for ordinary people, whether staying in a world full of weirdness will have an impact on their bodies is still unknown.
If awakening is possible without pain, it will obviously be more beneficial to the future of the world.
Compared to the number of humans in the world, there are too few awakened ones. Even if new people are added every month, training will take a certain amount of time, which is far from keeping up with the speed at which monsters appear. What's more, the levels of the new monsters are getting higher and higher, making it difficult to deal with them.
It may seem a bit cruel to use people all over the world as chess pieces, but if you want to overcome fate, you have to make sacrifices.
And this group of sacrifices included Qingtong himself.
However, his subtle contributions seem insignificant compared to those of his predecessors and others.
