Chapter 172 did not involve any changes in time and space, but the inability to escape was unavoidable.
They've come this far; there's no turning back.
Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath and resolutely decided, "Let's go in too."
This decision was undoubtedly a huge risk, but they had already come this far, and the key to K's memory recovery lay within this place. Moreover,Lu An's brother was also inside.
No one objected, but no one spoke first.
"Let them go in then. There's nothing in this outside world worth staying for anyway."
Looking at the devastated scene ravaged by the apocalypse, He Liang suddenly felt that the road ahead was not so scary after all; it was just a matter of surviving in a different world. These days, it doesn't matter where you go.
Everyone was filled with trepidation as they slowly made their way toward the gates of The Nineteenth Institute.
Strangely, neither the survivors passing by nor the guards at the entrance noticed anything amiss with them, as if they couldn't see them at all.
The rain kept falling and the temperature kept dropping. Wearing only a single layer of clothing, we already felt a bit chilly. Yu Miaomiaotook out a windproof jacket from her spatial storage and gave one to everyone.
Finally, I stepped inside.
The world behind the door was completely different from what they had imagined.
There are no roars of strange beasts here, no smell of blood, only tranquility and peace.
They seemed to be in a completely different time and space, and everything around them seemed both familiar and eerie.
This is a post-apocalyptic world much like the outside world, but inside The Nineteenth Institute, there are many survivors, each busy with their own tasks: some are planting seeds, some are watering plants, and some are cooking large meals.
This is a small survivor base.
Yu Miaomiao tried to turn back and found that, just as Chu Bai had said, there was no way out.
" He Liang, you give it a try."
She wanted He Liang to try Supernatural Abilityto see if he could go out, but it didn't work either.
Fine, then I'll just focus on finding Chu Bai insideand getting the equipment.
When they got closer to the survivors, they realized that these people still couldn't see them.
It was as if they didn't belong to the same time and space, yet she was clearly standing right in front of them.
Without time to think too much, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no immediate danger, they quickly went to the equipment room of The Nineteenth Institute to find equipment.
Chu Bai and his team were also not far from the equipment and supplies.
They proceeded cautiously, afraid of encountering any unknown mechanisms or traps.
But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find anything unusual.
This place is like a typical survivor base, with houses, streets, and pedestrians...
But the pedestrians seemed not to see them at all, walking past them as if they were invisible.
"What...what exactly is going on?" He Liang's voice trembled; he couldn't comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
"Have we been transported to another time and space?" K proposed a bold hypothesis.
But Yu Miaomiao shook her head, rejecting his idea.
"No, we are still in the original timeline," Yu Miaomiao said definitively.
If she were simply transported to another time and space, then there wouldn't be a situation where she could see the survivors while the survivors couldn't see her.
"Then... what should we do now?" He Liangasked. They were like people lost in a maze from which they couldn't escape, not knowing what to do.
"The situation isn't too bad; at least so far, we haven't found anything that poses a threat to us."
Yu Miaomiao gestured for everyone to follow her into the Nineteenth Institute building.
