Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

Chapter 155 Special Corrosion: Oblivion

"Among the members of the advance team who have woken up, no one still remembers anything about what happened in the cave?"

“Yes, sir.

All members who suffered the [Special Ether Corrosion] reaction have now lost their memories of the [Arpeggio Fault] cavity.

We could only tell from the data recorded on their devices that they were in danger, and only after rearranging the information piles to collect information did we successfully escape."

"What's the current status of the member who suffered the most damage? Have you checked her background information?"

"You mean 'Elowin Mystick'?"

She is still in a deep coma and her body has been deeply eroded by the etheric energy. The chances of her complete recovery are slim.

Her background information had been checked before she joined the team and there were no problems. Her family information showed that her parents were included.

But when we actually tried to contact her family, we were unable to do so.

So it’s hard to draw conclusions based on this woman’s background.”

"..., temporarily transfer the person to our hospital for detention and treatment.

Let's wait and see what new and useful information this woman, the only one who suffered a deep erosion, can bring us after she wakes up.

Although the advance team's operation failed, they brought back a special ether crystal sample and a piece of cloth of unknown material that was secretly cut from somewhere.

It can barely be considered a small gain.

"Have you tracked down the man who disappeared during the chaos of the advance team returning and the accomplices who were there to pick him up?"

“Sorry sir.

The surveillance camera footage of all the outposts has been checked, but there is no video footage of the missing person and his accomplices.

After the escort team searched, they found Zhang Kong's emergency bed and a set of protective clothing and goggles he had worn from the research institute in an empty corner.

No biological sample information was extracted.

Sir, that person can't really be the unknown person mentioned in the advance team member's log..."

"...Who knows. There are always many strange things happening in the Hollow."

At this point, the two men in military uniforms fell silent for a moment, and then talked about other things as if nothing had happened.

The little assistant Bomb, dressed as an explorer and standing not far from them, was naturally ignored by the two men.

After all, who would guard against "tools" that are as common as wild cats?

After collecting information about its owner, the round eyes on the display screen "No. 4412" blinked, and it ran away with its chubby little body swaying.

Due to the attack on the advance team and their reversal, the situation at this outpost is a bit complicated. Before the situation became clear, no one told "No. 4412" about its owner, Elowin, and naturally no one asked it, a Bomb, for information.

A special audio data recorded in the memory chip "No. 4412" was quietly preserved, but no one knew about it.

It was not until two years later that the advance team restarted the investigation into the distress incident at the Arpeggio Fault.

……

"Ah!"

An inconspicuous silver-gray car was driving on the road to the city.

Bai Kongdong Xinxiemen Zhi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but sneeze again.

He frowned, rubbing his throbbing temple, then glanced at his normal health data panel. He couldn't figure out what was going on with the chills and inexplicable sneezing he'd been experiencing these past few days.

There's no way this body of his was also materialized by the [World Consciousness] and caught a cold!?

No way……

Bai Zhi hesitantly touched the windbreaker on his body, which was of high quality in texture and feel.

The originally ordinary fabric material has now become smooth and thick, and even feels like a matte leather material. It feels "expensive" just by touching it.

Bai Zhi swore that it was not like this when he lent the clothes out two days ago.

If the original style and material of this dress were so high-end, it would not have been sold at half price at the mall promotion of "199 denims".

And then there's his mask. Fufu chose the Gouxian style, a futuristic mecha-style half mask. It was originally cool, but it only had the simple function of purifying and filtering the air.

But now, this mask suddenly became much heavier in my hand, and there were a few inexplicable hidden buttons on the side.

If Bai Zhi had not taken these two things back from Elowin himself, he would have thought that his clothes had been secretly replaced.

"Why haven't you said a word since you got in the car? Haven't you recovered from the shock yet?

"Mr. My online boyfriend is a scam." Ms. Jian, dressed in medical uniform, raised her lips and teased the people around her.

“…Don’t use this kind of inexplicable thing as an excuse to tease me.

I've already explained to you that I've never met the Miss Susan you're referring to as Sheriff." With other people around, it wasn't the best time to research. Bai Zhi could only control his surging curiosity and muster up the energy to deal with the difficult 'creditor' around him.

To be honest, even if Bai Zhi saw No. 11 at the outpost, he would not be more shocked than when he saw Ms. Jane.

Although he knew that this powerful lady would disguise herself and lurk in various places due to the special nature of her job.

However, Bai Zhi couldn't imagine how a place like the "Research Institute Outpost" with a simple and clear purpose could be related to the scope of work of this criminal consultant.

That feeling of confusion is like the appearance of red embroidered shoes in a science fiction movie, and the level of fear is instantly doubled when you are caught off guard.

Bai Zhi, who was already feeling dizzy, even suspected at that moment that he had not woken up at all after fainting, but was still in a dream.

Thanks to the disguised identities of two people, there was an "advance team member" who had just escaped from a cave and was feeling unwell.

A 'medical rescuer' waiting outside the cave to provide medical assistance.

As the advance team left the cave, they collectively displayed different reactions to the erosion, causing a chaotic scene. No one bothered to count the number of people in the team.

After all, in most cases, the team exploring the void will only lose members due to accidents, and there will rarely be extra members.

Therefore, it was reasonable that Bai Zhi, who was wearing the same protective suit as the advance team and specifically asked the team members for a pair of goggles to match his own mask to cover his entire face and blend in with them, was taken away very smoothly by the "medical staff" Ms. Jian on the pretext of emergency treatment.

This saved Bai Zhi the trouble of finding another opportunity to escape.

But Bai Zhi, lying on the ambulance bed, saw Ms. Jian smiling brightly at him at an angle that no one else noticed. He did not think that this was his luck at all. Instead, he deeply felt the malice of fate.

The inexplicable chills that Bai Zhi had been feeling in the past few days now had a reasonable explanation.

Small Theater

Ms. Jian: (Pretending to perform a self-deception, putting on a stethoscope for examination)

Oh no! I can't feel his heartbeat or breathing! This man needs emergency care! I recommend a pacemaker! (Kindly)

Bai Zhi: Are you too lazy to even pretend?! I'm right here, and you put your stethoscope on my knife. There's no way you can hear my heartbeat! (Roaring)

Ms. Jian: (covering Bai Zhi's mouth) Oh no! The patient is resurrecting!

Bai Zhi: Wuuuuuuuu!!
