Chapter 364 The Ninth Step. (Please Subscribe! Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)

In the spacious and dark corridor, three drops of "digital rain" brought many students to surround the four [pioneers]. The atmosphere at this moment seemed to be a bowstring pulled to the extreme.

Outside the skylight at the end of the corridor, the swaying branches seemed to be stagnant at this moment.

"Outsiders, please leave the school immediately!"

The loud voice of the first drop of "digital rain" caused an echo in the corridor.

The next moment, the space around the four [pioneers] suddenly twisted, and the light and shadow intertwined, as if they were being forcibly moved out of the school by some force.

But in the blink of an eye, the space that had just begun to twist had returned to calm.

The four [pioneers] stood still.

However, although the four [pioneers] successfully stayed in the school, Zhou Zhen, who was surrounded by them, had disappeared!

The four [pioneers] immediately looked around.

The sight was empty, the dark and spacious corridor, the plain and bright classroom, the students, the three math teachers, the skylight at the end, the treetops outside the window... all disappeared!

The whole scene changed drastically, the only thing that did not change was the ground under their feet, which still maintained the dusty terrazzo style.

In just a moment, they understood what was going on... This was [Relativity]!

The "digital forest" of the school just wanted to expel the four of them, but failed, and then the whole school left on its own!

Relatively speaking, it was equivalent to them being expelled from the school!

The [Pioneer] with the outline of a white middle-aged male suddenly emitted a sharp and undulating sound wave from his head: "There are too many pig teammates!"

"Dr. An" also emitted a sound wave: "No."

"It's almost successful!"

As she spoke, she looked at the outline of the woman in a dress who seemed to have a special effect of being ignored. The diary that the outline of the woman in a dress had been holding in her hand had disappeared at some point.

※※※

At the same time, Zhou Zhen stood in the crowded corridor, tense and ready to fight at any time.

As the first drop of "Digital Rain" fell, Zhou Zhen suddenly found that the four [Pioneers] who had surrounded him suddenly disappeared!

He was immediately delighted.

This is exactly the same as what happened in the operating room just now!

When he is in danger, his "Digital Rain" will come to help him!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen did not hesitate, and immediately walked to the door of the nearest classroom next to him, grabbed the door handle, and the digital energy surged all over his body, and then he pushed the door open.

There was a bright light behind the door, but it was not a classroom with bright windows and clean tables, but an operating room with complete equipment and in use.

"Digital Rain" dressed in a doctor's uniform stood next to the operating table, lowered his head, and was concentrating on the operation under the shadowless lamp.

The tiny sounds of various medical instruments opening the flesh and hitting each other continued to sound in the silent operating room.

Zhou Zhen did not hesitate and walked in immediately.

The moment he stepped into the operating room, the pure and majestic energy began to flow into his body again!

Zhou Zhen's head suddenly began to hurt again, as if thousands of steel knives pierced into his brain and kept stirring. As the pain escalated rapidly, the energy intensity in his body also began to increase rapidly.

This is the energy left for him by "Doctor Ashes". As long as he receives all this energy, he can reach the "Ninth Ladder"!

At that time, with his "Ninth Ladder" energy, plus four "Digital Rain", when he meets the four [Pioneers] again, he won't have to be as flustered as before!

While thinking, Zhou Zhen took a deep breath, endured the increasing pain in his mind, and walked step by step to the side of the "Digital Rain" dressed as a doctor.

The four [Pioneers] may catch up soon. At that time, he will need the "Digital Rain" of "Doctor Ashes" to help him, so now the closer to the "Digital Rain", the better...

Tongfu City, "Ashes Order" underground base

The small theater used by "Jiu Yu" during his lifetime.

The five people in No. 001 have repeatedly searched and scanned this room, but found nothing. They gathered on the stage and surrounded the locked "Nine-Tailed Fox".

The leader of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Group held a small note in his hand, which was filled with dense small words and many inexplicable symbols.

He snatched this note from the "Nine-Tailed Fox".

Since they entered the room decorated with the theater just now, the other party has been holding this small note.

There must be some important information on it!

Thinking of this, the head of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Group sped up his reading speed. Soon, he finished reading all the information on the note and immediately said quickly: "This 'Ashes Order' wants Zhou Zhen to be their new leader."

"Before we came here, there was a newly formed 'Digital Forest' in this room."

"The reason why Zhou Zhen and the four [Pioneers] disappeared should be because they entered the 'Digital Forest'."

"Now we can't find the entrance to the 'Digital Forest', so we can't see Zhou Zhen and the four [Pioneers]!"

As he said, he handed the small note to the other four people. The other four people gathered together, read it at a glance, and nodded.

The head of the Deep Sea Patrol Team walked up to the "Nine-Tailed Fox" and asked in a cold voice: "Where is the entrance to the 'Digital Forest'?"

"How to get in?"

"Nine-tailed Fox" looked at the five people in front of her with awe-inspiring momentum, her long eyelashes slightly blinked, and for a moment she couldn't remember what she was going to do next.

She subconsciously wanted to look at the note in her hand, but found that her arm couldn't move at all, and her palm was empty.

So, "Nine-tailed Fox" thought about it seriously and immediately replied: "I want to eat chicken!"

No. 001 and his four companions looked at each other, and the figure of the old man in Tang suit disappeared immediately.

Two seconds later, the old man in Tang suit returned to the stage again, with a vacuum-packed frozen chicken in his hand.

This is the reserve food in the base of "Ashes Order". When they were looking for Zhou Zhen just now, they had already turned the entire base over.

As soon as he saw the frozen chicken in the hands of the old man in Tang suit, "Nine-tailed Fox" was obviously in high spirits, and his eyes were as if they were glued, staring at the frozen chicken.

No. 001 and the other five looked at this scene with a calm expression. They had handled countless "digital virus" cases and had rich experience in handling cases. At this moment, they saw the problem at once.

The old man in Tang suit handed the frozen chicken to "Nine-Tailed Fox" and asked gently: "Tell us the entrance to the 'Digital Forest'."

"You can eat this kind of chicken every day in the future!"

Digital Forest?

"Nine-Tailed Fox" fell into thought, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "What is the 'Digital Forest'?"

? ? ?

No. 001 and the other five people frowned instantly. It was [Digital Memory Impairment]!

This experimental subject is not refusing to cooperate with their interrogation, but has forgotten all the information he knows!

The experimental subjects of "Ashes Order" have various defects. The defect of this experimental subject is obviously "memory"!

Thinking of this, No. 001 directly said in the internal channel: "That note may be her external memory trigger."

"Give the note back to her, she should be able to remember everything."

"But then she will most likely not cooperate with us anymore."

"Don't change the other contents on the note, but change the target, or add some content, so that she will regard us as companions!"

The Deep Sea Patrol Team, who was holding the note, nodded slightly, and the energy on his fingertips fluctuated slightly. He immediately modified a section of the note, changing the command of "guarding here" to "bring five new companions to find Zhou Zhen".

After the modification, the Deep Sea Patrol Team looked at the head of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps and nodded imperceptibly.

The head of the Starry Sky Law Enforcement Corps immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, he removed all the shackles on the "Nine-Tailed Fox".

"Nine-Tailed Fox" had just regained his freedom when he found a familiar little note in his hand.

She looked down at the contents of the note, then looked up at the five people and said very seriously: "'Teacher' should be in the 'Digital Forest' of 'Doctor' now, receiving the energy and 'Digital Rain' of 'Doctor'!"

Teacher?

This should be Zhou Zhen's code name!

The doctor is "Ashes Doctor" Fu Shangjing.

And the "Digital Forest" of "Ashes Doctor"...

The headquarters of "Ashes Order" was completely destroyed not long ago, and the scene has turned into a new "Digital Forest"...

Zhou Zhen is now at the headquarters of "Ashes Order"!

After getting Zhou Zhen's exact location, the five people were about to set off directly, and a special ringtone symbolizing important news came to their ears at the same time.

At the same time, a message popped up on their communicators: "The global emergency meeting has been held and ended 5 minutes ago. Now Xinghua Country, Grizzly Country, Iris Country, Rose Country... will send 'Ninth Ladder' compatible people to gather in China."

※※※

In the operating room, under the bright light, "Digital Rain" dressed as a doctor is still concentrating on the operation.

The sharp blade cut the body from time to time, exposing the bright red flesh, yellowish fat and colorful internal organs.

Beside him, Zhou Zhen followed closely, trying to keep the closest distance without affecting the doctor's "digital rain" movements.

Energy was still pouring into Zhou Zhen's body frantically, and the pain in his mind had reached a numb level.

Zhou Zhen felt like a lake evolving towards the ocean at this moment. The original dam was violently destroyed, and the majestic water flow fell from the sky with a bang, engulfing everything and forcibly expanding into an endless ocean.

This energy made him stronger and stronger, but he didn't consider his body's feelings at all.

Zhou Zhen hugged his head with both hands, staggered back two steps, leaned on the cart behind him, clenched his teeth, and endured the raging pain.

This headache, like a slow slicing, lasted for an unknown period of time, and he finally began to adapt gradually.

Zhou Zhen was panting heavily, and beads of sweat were dripping down like a gurgling stream, soaking all his clothes.

At this moment, the energy aura on his body was getting closer and closer to the "ninth step".

Zhou Zhen had no time to feel, let alone be happy. He stared at the entrance of the operating room. The door was quiet, and no figure came out from behind the screen.

For some reason, the four [pioneers] never caught up.

However, this was a good thing for him!

The operation on the operating table continued, and time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Zhen's energy had almost condensed into substance. His entire body, like a TV screen with a bad signal, jumped uncontrollably between the flesh and the digital.

With each jump, Zhou Zhen's flesh-and-blood form becomes fuller, cleaner and stronger.

It's as if the whole person has been brand new, from head to toe, even the hair can reflect the strong vitality; the eyes are as bright as electricity; the bones, internal organs, muscles... are all transforming quietly, just like in game modeling. The result of careful calculation, just standing there and doing nothing, is full of the beauty of a combination of strength and agility.

With each jump, Zhou Zhen takes a digital form and becomes more solid and thick.

The numbers that constructed him increased exponentially, and the outline became darker and deeper, like a three-dimensional abyss.

As he jumped, the surging energy showed a faint white light, enveloping Zhou Zhen's entire body.

Along with the surge of Zhou Zhen's energy aura, these white lights gradually converged into a beam of light, rising steadily.

After reaching a certain node, the light pillar roared into the sky!

The energy column broke through the ceiling of the operating room, the hospital building, and the entire "digital forest"...

Above the headquarters of the "Ash Order" that has been hidden for a long time and few people know about it, there are dense mountain forests, gurgling streams, and lush plants. Birds and animals inhabit this inaccessible area, enjoying their lives to their heart's content.

The seemingly harmless mountain forest is surrounded by strict warning lines. There are various warning signs around the warning lines, reminding visitors that this is a new "digital forest".

Suddenly, a magnificent beam of light roared out from under the scorched earth and went straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, the beam of light had broken through the atmosphere and sank into the depths of the universe!

For a time, all electronic devices in the world were disrupted.

呲呲呲……呲呲呲呲呲……呲呲……

Electric current noises came from every electronic device, and all the pictures with display functions turned into jumping black and white horizontal and vertical lines.

Computers, mobile phones, smart devices...all are out of control!

The whole world is in chaos at this moment!

Just one second later, the terrifying light beam began to shrink rapidly. At the same time, the electronic equipment around the world also returned to normal in an instant.

Outside the ruins of the "Ash Order" headquarters, the data on the intelligent digital energy detector plummeted. In the blink of an eye, it changed from dazzling bright red to a harmless green.

The lush mountain forest just moments ago turned into a charred pit with mottled glass, and the "digital forest" disappeared!

At the bottom of the pit, next to a ruined wall, a thin figure slowly stood up.

Zhou Zhen felt the energy all over his body. He seemed to be a legendary demigod now, with every move and every move filled with unimaginable power!

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zhen slowly opened his eyes, "the ninth step"!

The energy of "Doctor Ash", "Digital Rain", "Digital Forest"...all were received successfully!
