Chapter 241: The Secret of the Boundary (Exploration Interrupted)
Inside the quarantine center.
There was only a lamp above the head providing light, which was a rather cozy warm color. Game cabins were densely placed on the ground, making it feel like being in a charity cemetery.
There were only two staff members shuttling between the game cabins, holding electronic devices similar to tablets in their hands.
Throughout the cabin, densely packed light blue energy balls were condensed and floated above the game cabin. The light they emitted and the warm lights overhead formed an impact of cool and warm tones.
It makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Just leave these people there!" One of the staff members pointed to the empty game cabin in the corner.
Soon Miyata and the others were stuffed into the game cabin, and the rough movements woke them up slowly.
Miyata opened his eyes wide, looked around, and a panicked expression appeared on his face. He shouted loudly, "Where is this! Where am I! Who are you!"
The staff member impatiently operated on the tablet and called up a property panel to operate.
Under his control, the pale blue light covering the other game cabins began to cover Miyata and the others...
Faced with this strange and unprecedented scene, Miyata was stunned when he woke up and didn't know what to do.
Before he could think carefully, the light blue light had already touched his arms, then his face, and then his legs...
Miyata desperately kicked his legs in the game cabin, holding on to the edge of the game cabin with both hands, trying his best to stand up...
It was as if the pale blue light that was enveloping him was a dark ghost from hell...
But before he could scream too much, the light blue light had already enveloped his entire body.
He gradually fell into coma, his body lying limply, motionless in the game cabin.
"Noisy!" the staff member cursed.
"Go back first, there's nothing for you to do here."
"Okay!"
The man who pushed Miyata and the others over gently retreated, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to free his little brother.
Zhang Hao's thoughts naturally left this person and attached themselves to the staff of the quarantine center.
"The players captured in the virtual world are all garbage because their physical bodies are gone!"
Another staff member skillfully closed the game cabin door and replied, "That way we don't have to inject serum."
"Without the blue serum to transform their bodies, these people will be drained quickly."
"That's none of our business. What do you think would happen if their families in the real world found out that they couldn't wake up?"
"They should be sent to the hospital and cared for as vegetative patients. After all, in the real world, these people still have heartbeats and other vital signs."
"That's fine. With the hospital's care, as long as their bodies don't die, it would be good if we can extract some of their energy, hehehe."
"You're right, but the speed at which these people produce energy balls is definitely much slower than those who have been injected with the serum."
"What does it matter? There are so many shelters built up there to serve the energy balls. We use quantity to make up for quality."
"Forget it, forget it, we just take care of these guys, no need to think so much."
After the two people finished their conversation, they stopped talking and each found a chair and sat down.
Zhang Hao saw that after the staff sat down, they were playing games on their tablet devices out of boredom.
But at this moment, he didn't want to retract his thoughts so quickly. He wanted to see what these people were used for, although he had already roughly guessed it.
Five minutes later, the staff member stood up, and Zhang Hao's mind followed his gaze.
The room was filled with floating energy balls, which seemed to be about to burst the ceiling of the quarantine center.
"Almost there." said one of the staff members.
"Um."
One of them took out a black USB flash drive from an alloy box.
If Zhang Hao had seen the USB flash drive in the Tanaka Building in the real world that could actively absorb blue energy balls, he would know that the two things looked almost exactly the same.
The black USB flash drive just appeared in the cabin. Like a magnet, the suspended energy balls automatically floated over and were then absorbed by it.
Just like a sponge that absorbs water.
Ten seconds later, looking at the empty quarantine center, the staff put away the black USB drive.
"I'm going to deliver something. You just watch here."
"Um."
The guy holding the black USB flash drive walked out of the quarantine center...
Zhang Hao quietly focused his thoughts on the black USB drive, trying to find out what was inside.
As soon as his thoughts touched the black USB drive, he felt a stabbing pain like a needle. The black USB drive was like a black hole in the universe, pulling at his thoughts.
Zhang Hao, who was still walking in the distance, suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
He felt that his thoughts were like a rope. The black USB flash drive wanted to swallow up all of that thought, while he tried his best to get the thought back.
In just a few seconds, Zhang Hao's back was already wet, which was even more uncomfortable than a high fever of 42°!
Moreover, the black USB flash drive continued to increase its power and would not stop until it absorbed a trace of Zhang Hao's thoughts.
Zhang Hao had already seen that someone had noticed his abnormality and was walking towards him. After all, the sight of him squatting with his hands on his head was really eye-catching.
(Grass, if you don't cut it, you will suffer the consequences!)
Zhang Hao made up his mind and directly cut off the connection with that strand of thought. All of a sudden, it felt like thousands of steel needles were piercing his cerebral cortex.
Zhang Hao gasped for air. He had never expected that the black USB drive was so unfathomable! Since he had mastered the ability to invade the network and the frequency band with his mind, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation!
Zhang Hao was surprised. He suspected that this black USB flash drive was not a product of the earth! Moreover, this thing can absorb light blue energy balls. The defense shield of the Tanaka Group and the barrier of Shinjuku District are all light blue!
Is this what created it?
"What are you doing here?" The person who came over was a staff member of Tanaka Group. He saw Zhang Hao squatting with his hands on his head, so he came over to check.
Zhang Hao endured the stabbing pain in his head, stood up immediately and said, "It's okay."
The man snorted and said, “If you have nothing to do, just leave here! Go to where you should be!” In his opinion, people in black robes rarely appear in the inner defense shield, and most of the workers in the quarantine center here are old members of the Tanaka Group and the Tanaka Society.
Zhang Hao responded and had to give up the idea of continuing to send out his thoughts. Besides, his physical condition at the moment did not support him to continue exploring...
The black USB flash drive can devour his thoughts. If he encounters something more powerful, he may be trapped in this virtual world!
He staggered out of the protective shield.
After seeing Zhang Hao successfully walk out through facial recognition, the staff member no longer had any doubts.
He just said disdainfully: "Another guy who is about to have a drug addiction attack. It looks like he will be sent here soon and become a human computer! Haha!"
