Chapter 653: The Vast Sea
There are abandoned people in every city. They may be physically or mentally disabled, or simply teased by fate, or just on the opposite side of the immortality drug.

Gao Ming checked the dream memories of some patients. Many of these poor guys were forbidden players. Under the guise of treating them, Yongsheng Pharmaceutical locked them up in the dark bottom cabin, turning them into containers for ghosts and monsters to inhabit.

The patients are innocent, and the ghosts in them that were brought in from the deep world are also innocent. In order not to dissipate, they can only cooperate and hide in the bodies of living people. In this whole thing, only Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals is the culprit.

"It doesn't matter. Just live in the vast ocean."

The Blood City must be rebuilt. Gao Ming has made up his mind. He will take in those abandoned by the deep world and reality and build a shadow city that exists in nightmares.

Number Two also saw Gao Ming's ambition, but strangely, he did not dissuade him, but instead admired him.

Compared with the saviors, Gao Ming's unrestrained attitude is more to his liking.

The black dog led the way and opened seven dark rooms in succession. All the people and ghosts were taken into the torture chamber by Gao Ming, and everything went smoothly.

The defense measures arranged by Yongsheng Pharmaceutical in the bottom cabin are mainly based on resentment, which does not pose any threat to the current high life.

"Be careful, the defense layout of the bottom cabin doesn't look like Zero's style, it must have other means hidden." Number Two knows his enemy very well: "The offshore laboratory is important enough to rank among the top three for Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals. It is impossible that there is only resentment. Don't be careless."

Gao Ming nodded. After entering the bottom cabin, he opened the torture chamber and remained alert to his surroundings.

Walking on the wet ground, Gao Ming came to the end of the corridor. In front of him was an empty darkness. The air was filled with the pungent smell of medicine and sea water.

The sound of splashing water was heard, and it seemed as if countless large fish were swimming in the darkness. At a certain moment, Gao Ming seemed to have returned to the winter lake in the nightmare of the manor.

Following No. 2's instructions, Gao Ming input a command and turned on the lights in the bottom cabin.

The light bloomed in the center of the bottom cabin, like an ignorant and stupid child, exposing all the sins and filth in the house to "outsiders".

Even though he had seen many big scenes, Gao Ming's breathing rhythm changed at this moment. In the extremely harsh environment of the bottom cabin, there was a transparent "nutrient tank" as big as a football field. It was like a giant aquarium, but it was densely packed with people.

They didn't know how long they had been in this cabin. Their skin was different from that of normal people, and their bodies were pierced by multiple tubes that maintained their lives while connecting them to the instruments in the center of the nutrient tank.

The whole scene was weird and absurd, as if there were multiple octopuses squeezed together in the bottom cabin, with a human brain at the end of each tentacle.

Gao Ming narrowed his eyes and saw many familiar faces in the nutrition chamber. Many of the investigators he had met in Hanhai were here! His sight quickly passed over the faces one by one, and after more than ten seconds, Gao Ming's eyes fixed on a middle-aged man.

"Wanjie..."

I didn't expect that we would meet again in this form. Wanjie in Gao Ming's eyes was pierced by seven or eight pipes, his eyes were closed, and there were terrifying ghost patterns on his body. He was in a state of living death. He was wrapped in the center by many human bodies and was one of the cores of this meat warehouse.

"This is an important part of the Vast Ocean Project. No matter how magnificent the Vast Ocean you see is, the Vast Ocean in reality is just a giant meat tank." No. 2 said with a trace of pity, "Most of the test subjects in the tank volunteered to participate. They wanted to be pioneers and were not afraid of danger or ghosts. Unfortunately, they all became pawns of No. 0 in the end."

"What can we do to save them?" Gao Ming had come into contact with some investigators in Hanhai. Some investigators, such as the team leaders, were strong and able to distinguish right from wrong, so they were worth winning over.

"Their consciousness has been sent to the vast sea. All the arrangements here are to maintain their physical bodies in reality. If we touch them casually, not only will we fail to save them, but we may also destroy their physical bodies." Number Two said casually, "We need to split into two groups. One group will borrow the equipment here and return to the vast sea to explain the situation to them and ask them to cooperate. The other group will stay here and wait for the right time to start the recall procedure. Only in this way will there be a slight chance of waking them up."

I had always listened to the guidance of No. 2, but I didn't respond this time.

"You'd better make a decision quickly. Zero will definitely increase his vigilance. By the time he realizes that something is wrong here, it will be too late for us to save people." No. 2's voice did not change, but after he finished speaking, he found that his consciousness was entangled in chains: "You are really careful."

"It's not that I'm being cautious, it's that you have selfish motives." Gao Ming had talked to Fu Shu before, and had also looked through the nightmare memories of other researchers: "The first batch of investigators sent into the vast sea can't return at all. The transportation channel here is one-way."

Number Two told countless truths, but mixed in this lie: he was willing to help Gao Ming return to the vast sea, but he was unwilling to go back with Gao Ming.

"We have known each other for a short time, so it is normal for you to be reserved with me, but I may need your full cooperation from now on." Turbid mist seeped out from Gao Ming's feet, and Zhang Ding, the supermarket owner, appeared wrapped in the human skin with only a head left. Many times, it is still the people you trust that can be trusted. "Tell me how to enter the vast sea."

Seeing another powerful ghost appear beside Gao Ming, No. 2 remained calm: "I think you misunderstood. There may be other passages inside Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, but this is the only one built by the Savior and me. I am most familiar with this passage, so I brought you to this place."

"Stop talking nonsense. How do I use that instrument?"

"Don't worry, there are some things I must tell you in advance." Number Two's tone became serious: "This passage was originally traversable, and investigators could exit at any time after being sent there. But in order to take sole control of the power, Number Zero united the forces behind the scenes and erased all traces left by the savior. Do you understand what I mean?"

As if worried that Gao Ming didn't understand, No. 2 patiently explained, "We can use this changed channel to roughly figure out what kind of power the unspeakable person behind Zero has. In addition, I must tell you one more thing. The defense of the offshore laboratory is ridiculously weak. Zero can't make such a low-level mistake. This can only mean that they are very confident and don't worry at all that someone can get away alive after spying on the secret."

After saying all this, No. 2 got to the point: "Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals' brain development technology is already very mature. They can easily send people's consciousness into dreams and build a world similar to the forbidden game there. However, if you want to send people's consciousness deeper into dreams, or even closer to the deep world, you need the assistance of some forbidden items, such as the dream shrine."
