“You mean, all of humanity will be wiped out in less than an hour?”
“Just kidding!”
In this cycle, Wu Jin decided to make one last attempt at the Ten Thousand Affairs Hall to check his identity in the future.
After several previous attempts, he found that after entering the Ten Thousand Affairs Hall and activating the quantum computer,
for the first few tens of seconds, the quantum computer had no restrictions on him.
Perhaps at that time, the quantum computer had not yet confirmed his identity, so the search content was not blocked.
After a few tens of seconds, once the quantum computer recognized his identity, the content he searched for became restricted.
Therefore, Wu Jin planned to use these few tens of seconds to search for news about himself, to see if he could find any clues.
“Operation temporarily canceled. Let's go to the Ten Thousand Affairs Hall. I need to look up some information. Don't worry, I'll still pay!”
Upon hearing Wu Jin's words, the team members in the van looked horrified.
The Helmet Man looked at Wu Jin in surprise:
“Big Brother, don't you know what your identity is right now? You still dare to go to the city center?”
“Huh? Ah?”
Wu Jin was stunned. Why was the Helmet Man's reaction different this time?
“What's my identity?”
Seeing this, the Helmet Man widened his eyes and looked at Wu Jin:
“A fugitive! You're a fugitive! We finally rescued you from Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital. Aren't you going to cherish this opportunity and complete the mission properly? You still want to go back to the city center. What are you doing, walking into a trap?”
“What are you talking about?”
Wu Jin looked at the Helmet Man in disbelief:
“Qingshan… Psychiatric… Hospital? I'm a mental patient?”
The Helmet Man glanced at Wu Jin:
“You didn't seem like it when we first rescued you, but now! Your brain seems to really have some problems!”
Wu Jin widened his eyes, mouth agape, rapidly thinking about his current situation.
It changed, it actually changed!
For three years, his dreams were like a pre-set game, and the Helmet Man was like an NPC in the game. Every time he entered the dream, everything was the same.
But this time, there was a change.
His identity, from the formidable Mr. Wu, had become a mental patient.
Why?
Wu Jin's mind raced, and he instantly thought of something.
The college entrance examination.
Since the dream world is the future, what could change the future?
Only by changing certain things in the past.
He recalled what he had done during this period.
The only thing he changed was his own life trajectory.
If he hadn't had this dream and couldn't foresee the college entrance examination questions, his college entrance examination scores would at most only allow him to attend a vocational school.
But now, through the future in his dream, he changed his life and is very likely to become a student at a key university.
His life changed.
The future also changed!
This further proves that the world in the dream is the future in reality.
At the same time, it also shows that his actions in reality will also affect the world in his dream.
With this thought, Wu Jin's eyes lit up.
Can he use the future to change the past, and then use the changed future to influence the past again?
Such a cycle, left foot stepping on right foot.
Isn't this going to defy gravity!
Can this really be achieved?
Currently, it seems very likely, but whether it can be done specifically still requires him to practice and verify it little by little.
Back to the present.
By changing the college entrance examination, he successfully changed his future identity.
Besides that, were there any other changes?
Wu Jin looked at his surroundings, and there was no change, not even the team members in the van had changed at all.
It seems that just changing his college entrance examination results has limited impact on the future.
“Hey! Mental Big Brother, are we still going? Did we forget to give you your medicine when we rescued you?”
Seeing Wu Jin's expression constantly changing, the Helmet Man couldn't help but ask.
Wu Jin collected his thoughts.
He looked at the Helmet Man, then at Xin Si Biology.
Since he couldn't go to the city center, he would restart the operation and, incidentally, see if Xin Si Biology had changed.
“Let's go!”
“Are you sure? Are you alright? You look a bit pale!”
Wu Jin shook his head: “I'm fine, I just thought of something! Let's start!”
“Alright, action!” The Helmet Man waved his hand and looked at Wu Jin, saying: “Let's go, Mental Little Brother, stick close to me, we'll get you in!”
The van sped off.
The fact proved that this time, Wu Jin only changed his own life. Other things were not affected.
Xin Si Biotechnology was still the same, even the password for the armored door hadn't changed.
This time, because Wu Jin decided to go to the Concept Isolation Room to look for clues, he needed to save enough time.
So Wu Jin took the lead, acting as a prophet and a commander at the same time.
At first, the Helmet Man didn't trust Wu Jin.
However, after several verifications, he found that although Wu Jin's spoken commands for the team were not standard, the efficiency was surprisingly high.
So he let Wu Jin command.
In this way, the operation, which originally required an hour, was forcibly shortened by ten minutes by him.
They arrived at the familiar red isolation door of the Concept Isolation Room.
He found the key and instructed the Helmet Man to hold for 15 minutes.
Then he, once again, walked into the Concept Isolation Room alone.
Passing through one isolation door after another,
Wu Jin entered this legendary Concept Isolation Room for the second time.
This was a room carved out inside a mountain and then constructed with concrete.
Its area was about 200 square meters.
The entire room had no partitions; it was one large space.
Shelves lined the walls, fully stocked with various living supplies. In addition, there were some entertainment tools.
There was also a toilet and a showerhead in the corner.
As for where the wastewater drained, it was unknown.
Overall, it looked like a meticulously designed doomsday safe fortress, with enough internal supplies for one person to survive for two years.
He quickly scanned the items in the room.
Wu Jin checked the time; there were still 8 minutes left.
Time was tight. From last time, he knew that the future Wu Jin was not here to hide from disaster.
Then it must be because of a certain item here.
This item must not be ordinary supplies; it would be very special.
And special things would definitely be placed in special places.
Thinking of this, Wu Jin specifically searched in every nook and cranny, as well as under cabinets and beds.
Sure enough, when he lay on the ground and looked under the bed, he found something different.
It was a black briefcase. He dragged it out.
It wasn't heavy to the touch, but it felt very sturdy, indicating excellent craftsmanship.
The briefcase had no lock. After successfully opening it,
the contents inside surprised Wu Jin.
The entire briefcase contained only one small item: a test tube nestled in a foam slot.
The test tube was only finger-thick and about 15 centimeters long.
Inside, it contained an unknown light green liquid.
He took out the test tube, shook it, and saw nothing unusual. He placed it on the bed.
Then he looked inside the briefcase, peeled back the protective foam, and underneath was a document bag.
He opened the document bag.
It was a thick stack of papers. The title of the first page was prominently written in bold, large characters:
【Alienation Source Liquid】
Immediately following was the introduction of this Alienation Source Liquid.
Effects of Alienation Source Liquid: For internal use only. The user's body will undergo unknown changes, thereby producing various abilities beyond humanity's current technological understanding.
Source of Alienation Source Liquid: Originated from extraterrestrial meteorites.
1. First discovered in July 2022, during a daytime flash in Modu. According to eyewitness accounts, the first meteorite was found in the back mountain of Wanjiang Park in Modu. The meteorite was hollow and contained approximately 1L of Alienation Source Liquid.
2. The second meteorite containing Alienation Source Liquid was discovered in August 2022, in Dieyu Mountain, Linnan City, Linnan Province. It contained 1.1L of Alienation Source Liquid.
3. The third was discovered in…
4. The fourth…
5. …
Next, through the records, Wu Jin discovered that in just two short years, thousands of meteorites carrying Alienation Source Liquid had been discovered within China.
The A4 papers documenting them alone filled three pages.
Wu Jin casually flipped through them. Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of a familiar location.
1,109th meteorite, October 2025, discovered in Xianmu Mountain, south of Lin City. It contained 5L of Alienation Source Liquid (Note: This was the meteorite with the most Alienation Source Liquid).
Xianmu Mountain!
Lan Youyou's figure flashed through Wu Jin's mind.
It couldn't be such a coincidence!
Time was pressing, so he didn't waste any time.
He continued to read the material.
History of Alienation Source Liquid Development:
1. In 2022, Alienation Source Liquid was first discovered. Through testing, it was found to contain a rich, unknown energy.
2. After five years of in-depth research, in 2027, Chinese scientists first discovered energy in nature that was homologous to the unknown energy in Alienation Source Liquid.
3. In 2030, Chinese scientists discovered that this unknown energy could strengthen the human body. Scientists who had long-term contact with it saw chronic illnesses disappear, their bodies became healthy, and there were signs of rejuvenation.
4. In 2035, after careful verification and discussion, the Chinese Academy of Sciences decided to begin human experiments with Alienation Source Liquid. The experimental methods included: injection, oral administration, and external application.
5. In 2036, the first alienated human appeared. He was infected by Alienation Source Liquid, and his body mutated. His alienated ability was: immense strength.
6. In 2037, scientists discovered the reason for the appearance of alienated humans: internal consumption of Alienation Source Liquid could induce human mutation, leading to the creation of alienated humans. At the same time, the second alienated human was born, whose special ability was: limb regeneration.
7. In 2040, after five years of research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences collectively referred to alienated humans as Qi Persons, and officially named this liquid from meteorites: Alienation Source Liquid.
8. …
Beep beep beep…
Wu Jin was immersed in this document.
His watch's countdown alarm sounded.
He looked at the time; there were still 30 seconds until the apocalypse.
He put down the document and looked at the Alienation Source Liquid on the bed.
“Qi Persons? Special abilities? Marvel mutants?”
In just two seconds, Wu Jin made a decision.
The future Wu Jin entering here was very likely because of this Alienation Source Liquid.
Does this mean that by consuming this Alienation Source Liquid, he could escape the end of the world?
So, without hesitation, he opened the test tube's stopper and tilted his head back, drinking all of the Alienation Source Liquid.
It was sweet upon entering his mouth, and a warmth spread from his mouth, esophagus, to his stomach.
Immediately, this warmth rapidly spread throughout his body. Before Wu Jin could react, a feeling he had never experienced before appeared in his heart.
God! Control everything! Everything within sight can be touched!
A series of special sensations filled his mind.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed a can on the steel shelf by the wall.
The can seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope, flying rapidly towards his hand.
However, before it could reach his hand,
the apocalypse arrived.
Pain struck!
