Chapter 105 Night Watch
He stopped laughing and added silently: "You really have no sense of humor. As someone who has experienced this, I can tell you that staying optimistic is a good way to increase your survival rate."
"Captain Yang, this is not the time to joke, but I'm used to your jokes, so don't be embarrassed." Wang Qiang walked to the door and stroked the rough cement wall with his hand. "This wall is very strange."
"The explosion just now was very powerful. The iron door was blown away, but the wall is intact... Look, the door hinge is still embedded in the wall, and only the door panel was blown away." Sun Lanxin said, pointing at the twisted and deformed door hinge.
"Everyone step back. I'm going to detonate it again."
Everyone retreated obediently, and in the second explosion caused by Wang Qiang, the wall remained intact.
"The explosion just now was powerful enough to blow through a 10-centimeter-thick iron plate. This is just a concrete wall, but it's fine," said Wang Qiang.
Yang Yangyang took a deep breath and nodded: "Awesome! Wang Qiang, you can try it somewhere else. Also, Su Ming, you can call your housekeeper back."
"I've called her, but she didn't come back." Su Ming said with a serious expression.
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Su Ming.
"Not coming back, what does that mean?"
"She's dead." Su Ming said.
The atmosphere in the feed room suddenly became solemn. Isabella did not come back, which meant that not every black door could be passed through safely. Some could lead to another space, while others would lead to direct death.
The situation suddenly became extremely serious. Without knowing whether the black door was safe, no one dared to enter any of the black doors rashly.
"Can your housekeeper come back to life?" Wang Qiang asked.
"24 hours later." Su Ming replied.
Hearing that Isabella could be resurrected, Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.
It is indeed gratifying that Isabella can be resurrected, because this means that they can continue to ask Isabella to help explore the way.
But if Isabella died again, she would have to wait twenty-four hours before being resurrected, which would greatly delay their progress in exploring the alien space.
"Tsk! That means we have to wait another 24 hours before we can conduct the next test." Yang Yangyang frowned and said, "How annoying!"
"It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time. It's better to be cautious." Sun Lanxin said.
"Oh! I have an idea!" Yang Yangyang suddenly shouted.
He quickly walked to the black door at the entrance, lay on the ground, and reached his hand into the black door.
"I... I feel the cold floor now. It's slippery and a little sticky. I don't know if it's blood or some other mucus." Yang Yangyang said.
He pulled his hand back again, and his arm was still broken, but his expression was as nonchalant as if nothing had happened, and he didn't take the broken arm seriously at all.
Su Ming asked Xia Xiaoyu: "Don't reborn people have any sense of pain?"
"Yes, but pain is a strong danger signal from the human body to the brain. When a reborn person is injured frequently but his own functions are not affected, the brain will eventually adjust the reception and transmission of pain... In other words, it gets used to it."
"Won't it consume energy to grow a broken arm again?"
"It depends on the situation and the level. Regenerators of level B and below need to consume energy when regenerating their bodies, but level A seems to only consume a very small amount of energy. They can even go without food for a long time."
“…This does not conform to the law of conservation of energy.”
“Energy is conserved? Why isn’t energy conserved ?
Ah, I almost forgot you haven’t learned the concept of higher dimensions!
Most of the energy of supernatural powers comes from higher-dimensional space, so energy has always been conserved, but with our current science, it is impossible to observe higher-dimensional energy. "
"Since we can't observe it, how do you know that the energy consumed by superpowers comes from the higher- dimensional space?"
"Because high-dimensional space does exist, this has been confirmed by someone, although the specific verification process has not been made public and is an absolute secret." Xia Xiaoyu said, "If I were not in Dongyang Island, I could go to the alliance to help you steal the information and take a look. What a pity."
Su Ming stroked his chin, thoughtfully.
This was the second time he heard the word "high dimension". The first time was when Sylvie mentioned the devil. The devil seemed to be a kind of high-dimensional creature, but looking at their appearance, they seemed to be no different from three-dimensional creatures.
Is this because their higher-dimensional part cannot be observed by humans?
Yang Yangyang got up from the ground and said nonchalantly, "You won't die immediately after passing through. After all, the other side is also a space with at least ground and liquid. But it is definitely dangerous, otherwise the housekeeper named Isabella would not have lasted even a minute.
The last order Su Ming gave to the housekeeper was to run away immediately if she encountered danger, so the housekeeper could only have failed to react when she was attacked, or had no chance to escape at all, and died instantly.
So... there is something dangerous . I really want to know what the danger is."
Yang Yangyang looked at the black door curiously, his expression much more serious than before.
Finally, everyone decided not to take any action for the next 24 hours, but to check the teaching building again, and then to find a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack to set up camp and wait for a day.
They cleared a classroom and had a simple meal in it. What was interesting was that Yang Yangyang, the reborn person with the least food needs, actually opened three cans of food with different flavors and ate them all.
"Although it's not as good as what we usually eat, it's still quite fresh to eat occasionally!" Yang Yangyang said with a smile, "But I still want to eat better... By the way! Su Ming, can you ask the housekeeper to bring in some delicious cooked food next time?"
"Yes, Isabella can process the food in her own space and let people outside help prepare the ingredients." Su Ming replied.
"Wow, that's awesome! I also want to have such a weird butler! This is so convenient!" Yang Yangyang said.
Sun Lanxin yawned.
Wang Qiang next to him asked with concern: "Are you sleepy?"
Sun Lanxin: “A little bit.”
Wang Qiang: "Captain Yang, let's take turns to keep watch. It's one in the morning now. We can take turns in groups of two, three hours each. How do you think?"
"Let's do this. You and Sun Lanxin have the ability to cooperate. You two will be a team. I'm not sleepy yet, so you go to sleep first." Yang Yangyang said, then turned to look at Su Ming, "Su Ming, are you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy." Su Ming said lightly .
After saying that, he turned to Xia Xiaoyu and said, "Go to sleep."
"I'll keep watch with you." Xia Xiaoyu replied.
"Idiot, our sleeping hours must be staggered. What if I fall asleep with you and get attacked in my sleep? I can still have someone to protect me, but you only have me to protect you, so we must sleep separately."
Xia Xiaoyu opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true, so she shut up and lay down.
