Jiang Baimian returned to the "waiting area" and walked to Shang Jianyao, who was leaning against the sofa.

She extended her spirit, trying to contact the other party's consciousness, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any ripples.

That familiar darkness and faint light were nowhere to be seen!

This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

Jiang Baimian frowned and confirmed Shang Jianyao's state, but didn't see anything unusual.

"Could it be that after pushing open that blood-red door and entering the room where all of 'Zhuang Sheng's' personalities are, it's impossible to communicate with the outside world?" Jiang Baimian muttered.

She forced herself to calm down and planned to try once every minute, lest Shang Jianyao was only temporarily delayed by some factor, rather than completely isolated.

If ten attempts had no effect, or the abnormality of the machine just now spread out, she would take decisive action according to her own judgment.

Eight minutes passed, and Jiang Baimian extended her spirit towards Shang Jianyao for the eighth time.

To her delight, the familiar darkness reappeared before her eyes, and then the faint light condensed, illuminating Shang Jianyao's figure.

"Hoo..." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"There's a very large and complex machine in the core experimental area, but the situation seems a bit off."

She went straight to the point.

"Off is right!" Shang Jianyao wasn't surprised at all. "Listen to me first..."

He picked out the important points of what "Zhuang Sheng" had said and told her, speaking extremely fast, like a machine gun firing.

Completely confirming that he had someone above him to protect him, and that leaking information would not suffer any blows, he abandoned the previously constructed cipher system and used the most direct method that didn't require any further transformation.

This could save a lot of time.

"It's a pity that I don't have 'Telepathy', otherwise I could have packaged and compressed the more detailed content and sent it to you directly." In the end, Shang Jianyao lamented with regret.

Jiang Baimian listened quietly, her expression solemn and her tone sighing as she said:

"The arrow is on the string and has to be fired."

She then added:

"The situation described by Teacher Du Heng is basically the same as what I saw in the core experimental area. In this part, he shouldn't be lying."

"And what he's doing will obviously bury himself." Shang Jianyao believed Du Heng based on this simple reason.

He didn't dare say anything else, but he felt that this matter was not a problem.

After his and Jiang Baimian's series of operations, the nuclear bomb would detonate, and this place would be razed to the ground. None of the Ruling Elders who relied on biological chips to reside in the "New World," including Du Heng, would be able to survive.

As "Zhuang Sheng," as the controller of the "New World," Du Heng was willing to give his life to do this, so his purpose was definitely not to drag the entire gray earth down with him.

Since his purpose wasn't a problem, then there wouldn't be any major problems in other areas.

"What if Teacher Du Heng's majority of personalities have a strong tendency towards self-destruction?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Shang Jianyao said calmly:

"If that were the case, it couldn't be hidden at all. How could 'Truth' and the others not use this reason to persuade me?"

Speaking of this, he sighed somewhat dejectedly:

"Once the nuclear bomb explodes, the consciousness of the 'New World' powerhouses like Jacob will also die along with the Ruling Elders."

Those were all good people he had certified.

"Before the nuclear bomb explodes, the Boss and those Ruling Elders will definitely resist desperately. At that time, the 'New World' order will collapse, and the barrier will become weak. As long as Jacob and the others can seize the opportunity, they still have a chance to safely return to the gray earth."

Provided that their bodies are still there.

"But in that case, the bad guys like Wu Meng will also escape." Shang Jianyao was really in a dilemma.

Jiang Baimian couldn't help but laugh:

"You've deeply experienced the feelings of the status quo faction?"

Her expression immediately became solemn:

"How can things be so perfect that all aspects of the problem can be considered and solved? Many times, we are choosing between bad and worse."

Shang Jianyao was silent for a moment and said:

"I understand."

He then added:

"The Boss and the others are about to break in. You quickly get my body to the core research area and use the 'God Realm Forbidden Zone' mode of that machine for the final stimulation."

Jiang Baimian didn't answer immediately, but looked at Shang Jianyao's face, her lips moved a few times.

After a while, she asked in a deep voice:

"Do you really want to do this?

"Once the nuclear bomb is detonated, there's no turning back."

At that time, even if she carried Shang Jianyao's body out of the blast radius, in the state of his consciousness being annihilated, he would at best be in the same state as Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue back then.

A vegetable.

Moreover, after Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue were injured, their consciousness might not have completely dissipated. If Shang Jianyao really did this, he would most likely be brain dead.

Shang Jianyao immediately laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth:

"You just said that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

"Besides, I'm not necessarily going to die. Even if I become a vegetable, as an Awakened at the 'New World' level, I'll definitely be easier to recover consciousness or be reborn than Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue were back then."

Jiang Baimian closed her lips and didn't speak.

After a brief silence, she said solemnly:

"Time is tight, let's start now.

"By the way, give a signal to Little Red and Little White to let them start their actions. Once the Boss is ready to fight desperately, I'm worried that she will extract the human consciousness of all the employees in the building to supplement herself, just like what happened at the Fourth Research Institute back then."

Now it seems that what was hidden in the room deep in the Fourth Research Institute was not the "Dawn" itself, but the body that this Ruling Elder had prepared for himself through the Fourth Research Institute. Whenever he needed to feed, he would order the high-level officials of the Fourth Research Institute to send some humans in.

After that, perhaps there was a problem in a certain riot. In order to save his life, "Dawn" had to drain the reserves of food, and only the owner of "506" room, who was sheltered by "Zhuang Sheng," survived.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao didn't forget to inform Long Yuehong and Bai Chen about the matter.

He and Jiang Baimian intentionally or unintentionally didn't mention another matter:

That is, if the Boss will fight desperately, wouldn't the "Nether Maiden" and the others also do the same? At that time, there would probably be another large-scale outbreak of "Heartless Disease" on the gray earth.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Baimian could only hope that "Zhuang Sheng" could solve the problem as soon as possible and control the damage to innocent people to a certain extent.

And she knew that Shang Jianyao should also be thinking the same thing.

Choose the lesser of two evils.

After ending the conversation, Jiang Baimian stood up, looked at Shang Jianyao's body on the sofa, and then looked at the core research area where the material foundation of the "New World" was located.

She didn't move for more than ten seconds, and her figure was slightly shaken by the strange wind blowing out from inside.

Gritting her teeth, Jiang Baimian once again carried Shang Jianyao on her back, picked up the nuclear warhead, identified the direction, and ran towards the place where the machine was located.

...

"Pangu Biology", underground building, Room 14 on the 647th floor.

Long Yuehong, who was using old-world entertainment materials to pass the time, suddenly heard Shang Jianyao's voice:

"I have a very serious matter to tell you..."

Long Yuehong quickly took out the recorder from his pocket.

This electronic product started on its own and played the recording!

And this was equivalent to telling Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to take action immediately and act according to the plan.

Long Yuehong quickly turned off the recorder and turned his attention to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen nodded slightly.

The two of them stood up one after another and walked towards the door.

In the process, Long Yuehong inevitably thought of some things.

That is, their preparations were not yet complete - their application for an outdoor training exercise had just been approved and had not yet started, which meant that they had not yet had the opportunity to notify Genava, who had arrived in the area around "Pangu Biology", to lurk near the underground building and wait for the pickup.

Nothing can be perfect... Long Yuehong could only comfort himself in this way.

The two of them arrived at the door, and Bai Chen stretched out his right hand and shook Long Yuehong's left hand.

They looked at each other, and there was no more hesitation in their expressions.

Target: Broadcast Station!

...

In the room behind the blood-red door, the ceiling, floor, and surrounding walls were all virtualized, and red, yellow, and blue lights flashed rapidly, extremely intensely.

Du Heng's gaze passed over Shang Jianyao and looked towards himself, who was full of research desires.

In the corresponding room, Shang Jianyao, who had a cheerful personality, was watching that Du Heng do an experiment, with an eager expression on his face.

At this time, the door not far from them suddenly became illusory, imprinting countless distorted figures, they were like nightmares from the deepest and heaviest depths.

Du Heng pointed there, sighed softly, and said with a smile:

"'Dawn', my good assistant, the direct supervisor of the project, Auk.

"I remember that he really liked to hold exchange meetings and discussions, and was addicted to that feeling of brainstorming. His flaw was that he would fall into a deep coma every once in a while.

"Of course, don't expect to take advantage of this. The time they started the unrest was obviously to accommodate Auk. Auk should have just woken up not long ago."
