Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 242: Replication Ability and Time Acceleration

"I'm not sure about this. How did Teacher Zhang get this news?"

"I mentioned before that there's a supermarket nearby that's been taken over by a certain force. They seem to know a lot about this."

Lu Yuning nodded. She had indeed heard from Wu Shumei that there was a supermarket nearby that was occupied by a group of people. She just didn't know how they prevented others from entering the supermarket, which was so big.

“Are they very capable?”

"They're from a nearby neighborhood. From what I've heard, they're very powerful. Most importantly, they have a supernatural being with extraordinary abilities, and they're very powerful. They had some conflicts with Bloody Hand before, but it ended in nothing."

"So even the Blood Hands can't do anything to them?"

Zhang Song nodded and said, "That's right, but this group of people are not bad people. We have done some business with them from time to time. They also tried to win me over before, but they were unwilling to accept this group of students. I was not very interested, so I did not go."

"Well, it seems I should get in touch with him sometime."

"Do you want to meet them? We are planning to go to the supermarket tomorrow. If you are interested, you can come with us."

Lu Yuning nodded in agreement, then asked, "Do you want to exchange supplies with them?"

Zhang Song said, "Well, I don't really want to exchange anything. I just want to send the few Blood Hands I captured to them."

Lu Yuning asked in disbelief: "They still want this?"

"Well, it seems they have some methods of controlling people, so they're very interested in these prisoners of war. We can use people to exchange for supplies. We don't really need anything here. I originally wanted to exchange some bottled water, but you guys helped me get it, so we no longer need it. We don't need anything else either. I wonder if you need anything."

Lu Yuning thought about it, then nodded and said, "I want to get some batteries."

Then he told Zhang Song about the problem he had thought of that he couldn't find the target during night operations. Zhang Song nodded and took note of it.

There should be a lot of batteries in the supermarket, so you can exchange some for them. If not, you can ship them to the Weiguang base.

The two of them were talking a bit off topic, so Lu Yuning quickly brought the question back: "That means these people in the supermarket know the information about the mysterious organization."

"Yes, from what they revealed, it seems that they have some connection with that person with extraordinary abilities."

Lu Yuning pinched his chin and murmured, "Okay, let's go see if I can find out by indirect means tomorrow."

He had a vague feeling that this mysterious organization had some connection with the person trapped in a high-dimensional space whom he had met before in the reagent company.

The awareness of the disaster seemed to gradually enter Lu Yuning's vision.

He temporarily noted this down and got back to the point. They wanted to experiment whether the ability to go back in time could restore used items.

The experimental method is very simple. Wu Xiao will receive the pile of finished gunpowder in front of him into the space, and then Lu Yuning will use the time ability to trace back this small area.

"Ready"

Lu Yuning looked at Wu Xiao and understood.

Wu Xiao expanded the space and moved all the gunpowder he made into the space.

Lu Yuning switched his ability to time rewind and focused his consciousness on this area.

Zhang Song, who was standing by, looked curiously at the place where the gunpowder had just been placed, without blinking.

Soon there was a reaction in this area. First, a small pile of gunpowder appeared out of thin air on the table. Then, in just a moment, all the gunpowder that had just disappeared appeared in this small area.

Wu Xiao and Zhang Song were both amazed, but Lu Yuning already knew the result. After all, he had used this ability before in the Spark Base. He just had one question he wanted to confirm.

Will this item that appears after time goes back conflict with the previous gunpowder?

Logically speaking, time reversal is a very complicated process. The reappearing object should return according to the timeline when it disappeared.

That is to say, if an object moves from point A to point B, then if time goes back, the object will move from point B to point A again. The object is always one, and the two points are in the same timeline.

However, their situations were somewhat different. Although they were both points A and B, they were not on the same timeline. Lu Yuning had never figured this out. Within the same space, there would be a range of spaces where different situations would occur.

Imagine a situation where, if what was placed in the middle was not gunpowder but a person, then it is possible that two identical people would appear in the nearby space at the same time.

This is a bit scary, but Lu Yuning has not yet tried whether this ability will work on humans.

Now that they have got the gunpowder out again, the next step is to see if the gunpowder that was previously taken away is still there.

The previous gunpowder was divided into two parts. Wu Xiao received one part into the space, and the other part was placed in the container next to it.

After encountering the mysterious man in the higher-dimensional space last time, Lu Yuning realized that Wu Xiao’s ability might be cross-dimensional. He vaguely felt that the items in the two storage states might have different situations.

The three of them first looked at the gunpowder that had been stored in the container before, and the gunpowder had disappeared.

"It doesn't look like it," Zhang Song shook his head.

Lu Yuning looked at Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao understood and quickly reached into his own space.

Then he said in surprise: "It's still here!"

really.

This is very interesting. It doesn't work if it's placed outside, but it works if it's placed in Wu Xiao's space. It seems that the correction of the timeline cannot cross dimensions, that is, objects in four-dimensional space cannot directly enter three-dimensional space.

Wu Xiao's space should be a special state between three dimensions and thinking.

Lu Yuning seemed to be thinking about something, then said: "Take some and try it."

Wu Xiao understood and quickly took out some gunpowder from the space.

The three of them stared at the portion of gunpowder that was taken out.

After a while.

“Not disappeared”

"Success!"

The replication experiment seemed to be successful, and through this process operation, they had two batches of gunpowder.

But before I could be happy, a disappointing scene appeared.

The gunpowder taken out from Wu Xiao's space did not disappear, but the gunpowder that was brought back through time suddenly disappeared.

The three of them were silent. It seemed that the things made in this way would not last long, so they were useless.

It can only be used for a while. It would be okay if the item is very precious, but no matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as Lu Yuning's ability to go back in time. In this way, every time you copy an item, you have to wait for Lu Yuning's ability to recover.

That is to say, it can only be copied once a day, and the copied things can only exist for a period of time. It seems that the cost-effectiveness is too low.

"I see, it was a little strange just now."

Wu Xiao looked at Zhang Song and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"I was just thinking, isn't the time in this small area created by Yu Ning inconsistent with the space we're in? If it stays like this, then this area will always lag behind the time in other places. This is a very strange phenomenon. The gunpowder disappeared just now, which proves one thing: the time here will gradually return to its original state."

"and then?"

"This proves that time in this area will speed up!"
