Chapter 335: Not One Missing

The magnetic fields have come alive?

Chen Ling was stunned, seemingly unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.

"I saw it too," Su Zhiwei slowly raised her hands, her empty eyes grabbing at something in the void, "I saw strings... they are everywhere, they are always playing, they have turned into electrons, turned into neutrons... I feel like I can touch them?"

"Wave functions! Mass-energy equations! Relativity formulas! Maxwell's equations!!" Wu Tongyuan danced on the spot, saying excitedly,

"Numbers! The numbers are jumping!!"

Seeing the reactions of the other two, the confusion in Chen Ling's eyes grew stronger. He suddenly turned to look at the behemoth standing in the crater.

Is it it?

It's it that's affecting them!

Chen Ling didn't know what had happened, but this must be related to the so-called "radiation" and the birth of the Nine Sovereigns. But he didn't understand why he didn't feel anything?

Is it because he doesn't understand science? Because the save file can't record Red Star fragments? Or because he doesn't belong to this era after all?

Just as Chen Ling was pondering, three figures walked out of the forest in a disheveled state from another direction of the fragments.

It was Lu Xun and the other two researchers. Their bodies were covered in dust and dirt. Seeing Chen Ling and the others standing here from afar, their eyes lit up.

"Thank God! You're okay too!" Lu Xun was clearly relieved.

Chen Ling immediately walked up,

"How did you get here?"

"I was too scared at the time, so I just ran in one direction... Fortunately, Dr. Lu caught up with us and led us to hide in a cave. We only came out after the monsters chasing us left," said one of the researchers.

"Luckily the clouds cleared just now, Dr. Lu judged our position by the stars, and then we walked all the way here..."

"We were worried about whether something happened to you, but after getting close here, we didn't encounter any aggressive monsters. They were all lying on the ground, as if something was wrong with their bodies," Lu Xun looked around, "Dr. Lou and the others haven't arrived yet?"

"No."

Chen Ling carefully examined the three people in front of him. To be honest, apart from Yang Xiao and the others, he held a trace of suspicion toward everyone else... He suspected that among these ten people, he wasn't the only one from the future.

"Never mind, you guys record the parameters of the fragments first, I'll go take samples," Lu Xun said to the two people beside him, "Hurry up, the radiation intensity of this thing is very high, we can't stay here for long."

"Okay."

"Wait!"

Seeing Lu Xun turn and walk toward the fragments, Chen Ling immediately wanted to call him back. But before the words left his mouth, Lu Xun, who had taken a step, suddenly froze on the spot.

Seeing the same emptiness in Lu Xun's eyes as in Yang Xiao and the others, Chen Ling knew that the "theories" in his mind had also begun to "come alive"... Although he didn't know if this description was appropriate, this seemed to be the origin of the Nine Sovereigns' power?

"Dr. Lu?" Seeing Lu Xun's sudden abnormality, the other two researchers frowned, about to step forward to check the situation, but the next moment they also froze on the spot.

This time, Chen Ling didn't stop them.

He had stopped Lu Xun earlier, hoping he could explain the phenomenon before them. After all, with Chen Ling's academic failure status, even if this fragment had some scientific principle, he wouldn't be able to see it... But Lu Xun was different; he was an expert in astrophysics, maybe he would have unique insights.

Now that Lu Xun had entered that state, and the other two researchers weren't studying celestial bodies, there was no need to ask. He could ask after the exploration was over.

Just as Chen Ling was standing beside the crowd, three more figures walked out of the forest one after another...

Seeing these three, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.

Compared to Lu Xun and the others, the state of these three was a bit strange. Not to mention that after experiencing so many Calamity chases, there wasn't a trace of blood on them, and they hadn't even gotten much dust on them. Most importantly, the distance between them was several meters long. Even though they came from the same direction, they didn't walk together, as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

Fine, fine, fine... Nine ordinary people, encountered a large group of Calamities in the dark mountains, scattered and fled, and yet all of them are unscathed?

Chen Ling sneered in his heart.

He finally understood. Whether he led the way or not, and regardless of the siege crises they experienced on the road, these nine people would eventually stand here safe and sound... If he said there was nothing suspicious about these people, he wouldn't believe it even if he died.

Wormholes, time travel, save file returns... The question now is, among these ten people, how many have secrets?

As Yang Xiao and the other six fell into a chaotic state, in the crater, only Chen Ling, Dr. Lou, Dr. Ji, and another unknown doctor remained awake.

Chen Ling's gaze swept over the three, and he spoke with narrowed eyes:

"How did you find your way here?"

At least Lu Xun determined the position through the stars, which is how he found the Red Star fragments. Then how did these three locate it?

Dr. Ji lowered his eyes, not intending to answer. The other unknown doctor scratched his head and looked at Dr. Lou blankly... Dr. Lou was silent for a moment, then answered calmly: "We were fleeing in a hurry just now, and it seems we just happened to hit the location of the fragments and walked all the way here... I guess it counts as luck."

"Luck?" Chen Ling's gaze immediately locked onto Dr. Ji, about to ask something else, when a sudden change occurred!

Dr. Lou glanced at his side, a flash of brilliance deep in his eyes, and with lightning speed, he pulled a gun from his arms and pointed it at one of the figures who had already fallen into chaos...

The target of his muzzle was none other than Wu Tongyuan!

"Are you looking for death?!!" Dr. Ji, who was on the side, saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he rushed toward him rapidly!

This scene happened too suddenly, and Dr. Lou's movements were as fast as lightning. Dr. Ji couldn't stop him at all. The moment Dr. Lou suddenly pulled the trigger, a dry click came from the muzzle!

Click!

There were no bullets in the gun.

Dr. Lou was stunned. He clearly remembered that the magazine was full when he hid this gun, but the next moment he discovered the problem... The gun in his hand was not the one he had originally taken.

At the same time, Chen Ling on the side suddenly raised his hand, his muzzle locked on Dr. Lou!

Cold light flickered in his eyes.

"Dr. Lou... you'd better give me an explanation."

Chen Ling had long been suspicious of this group, so he was always on guard. The moment he saw Dr. Lou raise his gun, he had used the gun whose magazine he had emptied earlier to swap with the one in the other's hand!

Dr. Lou saw Chen Ling and seemed to think of something,

"You are..."

His expression was extremely ugly. Dr. Ji on the side had already roared and rushed up, smashing a fist toward his face!
